Re: Akimichi

"Look at the clouds... so carefree..."

"I wish I was a cloud, flying freely in the sky without a care of the world..."

A little six-year-old boy could be seen lying down under a shade of a tree, he sighed from time to time with his eyes closed. Beside him, a chubby kid of the same age as him could be seen munching a handful of potato ch.i.p.s while doing a horse-stance.

"What are you doing, Chouji?"

A kid that has messy brown hair, sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils, pronounced canine teeth, and nails, coupled with the distinctive red fang markings of the Inuzuka clan on his cheeks were looking curiously at Chouji.

"Woof!"

"Easy Akamaru, easy..."

A small puppy with white fur and resembles the Great Pyrenees was resting on the kid's head.

"Can't you see, Kiba? I'm doing a horse-stance..." answered Chouji without pause between his munching while regulating his breathing.

"I can see that you moron! I mean why are you doing that?!" The wild-looking kid, Kiba, was snarling. He clearly annoyed by Chouji nonchalant answer.

Hearing Kiba's question, Chouji shifted his eyes to look at him with a ridiculing gaze as if he was asking 'are you stupid?' kind of gaze that clearly success to make Kiba feel even more annoyed and became angry enough to pounce at Chouji to teach him a 'lesson'.

With a backward jump, Chouji dodged Kiba's pounce. Then with the tree bark as a footing, Chouji did a somersault and landed softly on Kiba's back.

"Weight and speed!"

Shocked with the unexpected turn of event, Kiba took the brunt of Chouji's heavyweight.

*Cough*

Kiba felt slightly suffocated by the state he was in, no joke, he's still a six-year-old boy with a normal-sized body for kids' of his age. He still yet to undergo a heavy physical training set, nor trained any of his muscles properly. Comparing the body size of the current Kiba and Chouji, Kiba was like a normal-sized horse, and Chouji was like a healthy stallion, bigger, healthier, heavier.

The amount of regular food that Chouji consumed in a day alone could feed Kiba for more than a week, the snacks were not included. Coupled with chouji regularly did his 'past' training, albeit the milder version because of his tender body.

"I'm doing the horse-stance to train my lower body and discipline, while I'm eating to increase my weight and power! Besides, fat is art!"

Even Shikamaru who secretly listened to their conversation was dumbfounded, fat is art? that's new...

"You only say that because you're fat, Chouji. With your big belly, no girl will ever fancy you!"

A fair-skinned little girl with light blue eyes and short platinum blonde hair worn in a twin tail was looking at Chouji contemptuously. She was holding several clover-leaf and riverside flowers while behind her, a girl with featureless white eyes with a tinge of lavender-color could be seen shyly following her.

"Zip it Ino, no boy like a bag of skin-covered bone either. You should gain some weight, especially in some certain place. The sannin Tsunade-sama is the perfect example of a beauty! Am I right, Shikamaru?"

Chouji replied with a hand crossed over his c.h.e.s.t, he spoke like he declared a heavenly edict. In response to Chouji's question, Shikamaru opted to dodge the bullet with silence as he pretended to sleep.

Meanwhile, Kiba's eyes were sparkled seeing his 'crush' was walking behind Ino and quickly forget his current grievance.

"Hinata-chan! Ugh, get off of me Chouji!"

Chouji stepped aside to let Kiba stood on his own feet, besides he thought that it was funny to mock Kiba while he tried his best to present his 'best side' to Hinata. Chouji doesn't know why his physiology and emotion were reverted to zero ever since he was born in this world, yet his intelligence and knowledge remain intact. After three days of pondering, Chouji decided to forget about it, there's no use thinking about that now.

With a quick snatch, Kiba took a stalk of flower from Ino's hand and presented it to Hinata with his best smile. Not forgetting to kneel following the main lead of the soap opera his mother watched, Kiba felt that he was so cool that even the Tsunade -sama of the three legendary sannin will fall head over heel to his charm.

"This is for you, Hinata-chan!"

"THAT'S MINE!!!"

Like a banshee, Ino let out a shrill cry and hit Kiba with her wrathful fist.

"Serves you right, Kiba. Who told you to provoke the devil herself?" Chouji was wearing a mock grin on his face, and Shikamaru cannot hold his silence and let a little chuckle out.

"Who are you calling the devil?!" Ino was snapped and dashed to Chouji and Shikamaru, Chouji was fine as he opted to ran and climbed the tree to escape, but, Shikamaru was less fortunate and became the victim to took the brunt of Ino's wrath.

Different from the original Chouji who lacked the self-confidence, the "Bob" Chouji's self-confidence could be felt oozing from his every pore. He loves himself, never ashamed of his fat self. Hell, he even felt immense pride out of it.

After rounds of beating, Shikamaru quickly threw a question to divert everyone's attention from himself.

"Tomorrow is our first day at the academy, do you think that we'll be in the same class?"

Apparently, his attempt is successful, because Ino stopped her fist and took a thinking posture instead with her index finger on her chin.

Hinata was silent, Ino just shrugged her shoulder, while Chouji just continues to munch his ch.i.p.s. Only Kiba opened his mouth to shamelessly utter his childish flowery words.

"I don't know about all of you, but, I and Hinata-chan are definitely in the same class. We're fated together, aren't we, Hinata-chan?"

In response to Kiba's words, Hinata just meekly hides behind Ino while clutching her hem. Hinata was shyly looking at the ground, tears threatened to flow on her face.

"Look Kiba, you scare her!"

Seeing Hinata's response, Kiba was baffled, while Chouji and the rest just laughed looking at Kiba's downed face.

'Compared to my previous chaotic world, up until now, this world is sure is peaceful. I hope it will stay the same as it is...' thought chouji while still laughing merrily with everyone without stopping munching his ch.i.p.s.

'I need to be stronger to keep this peace intact...'

~~~~~~~

A man can wish anything however they want, but whether their wish will come true or not was another story.

Contrary to Chouji's wish, later that night, on the far side of the village, a tragedy befalls to one of the four noble clans of Konoha. The clan that once thrived with lives, prestige, and fortune, became one of such that only has members that could be counted with one hand.

That night was the bloodiest night ever since the night of Kyuubi attack in Konoha, and one that changes the lives of many peoples in the village.

"Onii-sama... Why?"

And that night, was the starting path of one little kid to took the path of an avenger.
