'So he noticed that too, are all kids this dangerous these days' sunless thought shakinghis heads.
Fugaku pondered for a moment and then asked "Have you asked if he is interested in becoming a ninja"
'This world got ninjas, do they also have shadow powers' sunless thought.
"I did, he said he is more interested in opening a cafe, something from his hometown" itachi replied.
"How strong is he compared to you" fugaku asked.
"I don't know it clearly but he probably uses a sword since he used it while trying to save me" itachi said
'A sword at his age, since he had a sword means he isn't afraid of hurting himself, that alone is not bad at his age' fugaku thought.
"I trust your judgment, do what you want to do, he is allowed to stay as long as he wants as long as he doesn't become a burden to you" fugaku said
"How are your preparation for academy and see if you can invite him too as he didn't necessary need to become a ninja just keeping up with you is enough" fugaku said and stood up endingthe conversation.
'So he really is persistent person huh' mad prince thought.
"I'll ask him" itachi said and stood up.
'I don't really understand what kind of father is he but well good for me, though I gotta check about ninja stuff' he thought and retracted his shadow back.
'The next question is something I want check for a while know' he thought
Then he first confirmed if anyone was near then confirmed no one was.
He took a deep breath he said the words that shattered his whole life.
"LOST FROM LIGHT"
Then a familiar feeling of knowing oneself rose within himself.
The reason he wanted to check it because he would not be able to use shadow dance without it properly.
It may seem a blessing but it was the biggest curse he had.
He didn't even want to check if it could still make him a slave as the risk was too big.
Now the step is about becoming an awakend.
Becoming an awakend was really easy for him since he just have to make a core but the problem was re already had a core.
Meaning since the nightmare spell wasn't here that means he'd have to make his second core manually just like he did when he was corrupted and cut from the nightmare spell.
But the problem was that he needed to gather more than 1000 shadow fragments since he was a shadow.
He had soul fragments in his covetous coffin but not shadow fragments that he needed.
'Well I'll think about it later' he thought as his instincts told him that someone was coming.
Then itachi slowly slided the door slowly and entered inside.
"How was the talk, any problems" sunless asked itachi asked if he already didn't know.
"It was fine, you can get the blanket from there" he said while also pointing towards the drawer.
Sunless stood up and started taking out the extra blanket to sleep on.
"Father asked if you would want to join the academy since I would be joining fromtomorrow" itachi said now helping sunless spread the blanket properly.
'I shouldn't agree now though it would help me know more about this new form of energy that i have been constantly generating' sunless thought.
"I will tell you tomorrow morning as I need to think about it for know" he said and itachi nodded.
Then itachi lay down to his bed and sunless on the blanket.
After a long time of thousand, the mad prince finally took a proper rest.
The morning was cool but for some reason sunless woke up before even itachi did.
He stood up and looked at the sun that hadn't fully come out yet and then looked at itachi.
He turned his head and walked down the stairs thinking he was the first one to wake up early but mikoto was already up and fugaku had already gone for work.
"Well you woke up too early sunless, kids should sleep more" mikoto said looking at sunless coming downstairs.
"I just wanted to see around the new place i had arrived miss" sunless said while also bowing his head to greet mikoto.
"You shouldn't go too far or you might get lost" she said with concern.
"I'll keep that in need , though can you tell me more about the academy" he asked
"Are you also planning on joining, well its a place where you can make friends and grow strong with them, itachi is also joining from today" she said
"I am, don't mind me asking but does this place require money to join" He asked slightly embarrassed.
"Ah, don't worry about it, academy is a facility organised by the hokage so it doesn't require anything just only that you know about Chakra" she said but then a question arose in her mind.
"Do you know about Chakra or you won't be able to pass" she said her face slightly solemn.
'So its called Chakra, what a weird name but who am I to judge' he thought.
"If you want i can teach you enough to pass" she said wanting to help her son's only friend.
"I can use it a little" he said and making all the worry in her face disappear.
"Just knowing about it is enough but if you can use it that's even better, you will pass 100% then" she said with a smile.
"Then I'll get freshen up, um where is the washroom" sunless asked.
"Its left back in the stairs" she said and sunless started to move in that direction.
After a while, he finally did a shower and summoned the puppeteers shroud which was enhanced by him into a Ascended rank memory while practicing weaving.
He had also added an enchantment that would allow him to slightly change its form.
He made it look similar to his old clothes that he was just wearing.
Then he summoned the covetous coffer which was the only shadow that he hadn't killed to make his final core as it was too weak to matter at that time and he had already completed his 7th core.
He put his old clothes inside and then it disappeared.
Itachi was already up and waiting for sunless to come out before going in himself.
He then came into the hall and for some reason saw Sasuke woken up.
'Shouldn't kids are supposed to sleep a lot' he thought While coming closer to Sasuke.
'Well, I should probably cancel my plans to go out alone, what would a kid like me do in a big city like this, I might even get lost' he thought and started playing with the kid.
