[ Notes- Itachi only spent one year total in his Academy time, on the fast track to being a genin and becoming the son his Father expected. He was very quiet, studious, and unfortunately hard to reach by the students his age, with how intelligent he was. His Academy teacher described Itachi as 'teaching himself'.]
By six months in the Academy, the students learned to leave him alone. He didn't seem all too talkative, and his subjects of conversation left the majority of the other students confused, and some of them, upset. So he learned to keep to himself, somewhat having expected this. He liked his own explanation for it better than Fugaku's, though. It wasn't that he was far above them and better....it was that he was different.
He won every single one of his spars, and was now commonly exempt from them. So he found himself a nice spot in the back of the courtyard, with a thick book settled snugly in his lap. Distancing himself from the cries of the children testing out their fighting skills, he immersed himself in reading. He didn't expect company, but wasn't entirely against it.
