Chronos Chronicles: Battle Academy Chapter 1- Enter Chronos Battle Academy
*RING RING RING*
"Ugh….. 5 more minutes…..zzzzzzzzzzzz"
"HEY SAKURA GET UP WE'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR ORIENTATION!"
"zzzzzzzzzzzzz… wait wha? … O SHIT ORIENTATION!" screamed Sakura, a pink haired emerald eyed girl, as she shot up from bed.
"KARIN GIMME 2 MINUTES!" she screamed.
"OK I'LL BE DOWN HERE WAITING," someone screamed back. Sakura was rushing through her big closet of clothes to find the orientation uniform she received in the mail from the Chronos Battle Academy. Chronos Battle Academy, or CBA as many students put it, is a prestigious military school in Cryfder- strength in Welsh. Many of the students that hoped to enroll in the school had to be in top physical condition since it is a military school. Although the school is known for its military excellence, the school also excels in a variety of fields in academics and athletics.
"SAKURA ARE YOU DONE YET?" some screamed from down stairs.
"ALMOST," Sakura yelled back as she finally found her CBA uniform. It was your standard issue female uniform for most schools. A white dress shirt with the school logo sewn into the upper left area of the body, almost touching the shoulder line, a blue mini skirt some leather shoes and the optional black sports jacket with the school logo in the front and back. Sakura quickly undressed out of her pink and yellow pajamas and threw on her uniform. She grabbed her pre-packed backpack and rushed out her down and down the stairs.
"Sorry to keep you waiting Karin, now shall we go?" Sakura said as she met up with her slightly younger sister. Karin wore the same outfit as Sakura since they both got into CBA, except she had red hair and matching color eyes. She also wore glasses, which is strange since Karin has near perfect vision with other them. Karin nodded and handed her some toast and they walked out the front door. The CBA wasn't very far away from their house, a rough ten to thirteen minute walk, which was nothing for most CBA students. Sakura and Karin walked past the park when they met up with Karin's boyfriend, Sasuke. Sasuke was a Black haired kid who wore the male version of CBA's uniform thus making him Sakura's and Karin's schoolmate. Sasuke also came from the Uchiha clan, one of the predominant clans in Cryfder. The Uchiha clan is head of the defense forces for the nation, and to even blessed with the grace of the presence of an Uchiha at anytime was an honor in itself as the Uchiha bloodline is known for excellence in whatever subject they put their mind to.
"Hey babe, ready for the boring orientation?" Sasuke asked Karin as he put his arm around Karin's shoulders. Karin smiled and responded, "I guess, our break was way to short if you ask me,"
"Yea I know, how was your break by the way?" Sasuke asked.
"We didn't do much actually," Karin said.
"Technically you didn't do much," Sakura said glaring at her sister.
"Whaddya mean, you didn't do much, Sakura were you busy the entire summer?" Sasuke asked. He remember that Sakura and one of their friends made a bet on whether or not Sakura would be extremely busy over the summer. He bet her $200 that she'd be a lazy couch potato the entire summer, which she normally does every summer. Sakura took the bet and probably regretted it. She had a summer job for the first time ever, which meant almost no time to hang out with her friends and sister, which sucked.
"Did you really keep that bet?" Sasuke continued.
"Yea she did," Karin said.
"Funny thing about the ordeal, Chung moved away…" Sasuke said in a sarcastic tone.
"WHAT?" Sakura shouted half pissed and half confused.
"When he made the bet his fingers were crossed," Sasuke said smiling. Karin let out a small chuckle while Sakura made her aim-to-kill face and cracked her knuckles.
"The next time I see that asshole, he's gonna get it," Sakura threaten, Sasuke laughed and Karin was unsure of the situation.
"Well you lucky your sister has me for a boyfriend. I talked to Chung afterwards and he coughed up $100 if you actually kept busy over the summer," Sasuke said as he took out his wallet and handed Sakura her $100, dumbfounding Sakura and Karin simultaneously. Sakura took the one hundred and hugged her sister, who hugged her boyfriend, who hugged the two them.
After some more 'interesting' stories about summer, they finally reached the Chronos Battle Academy.
"Finally we're here!" Karin said, slightly excited as they walked through the gates. CBA had a nice wide and big campus, about 5 miles long and 6 wide. Much of that space is left empty mainly for the military combat sessions, drills or practice. Sakura and Karin just stood at the gates in awe. It was their first time at the campus since they were starting freshmen. Sasuke on the other hand was a sophomore so he knew some things about the campus already.
"So… which way is the orientation?" Sakura asked.
"Uh… last year for me it was over in the main hall," Sasuke answered scratching his head.
"Ok, were is that?" Sakura asked again.
"It's a short walk from here. It's next to the archery range," Sasuke said pointing towards the northwest.
"Actually, Orientation this year is being held at the auditorium," someone said. Sasuke Karin and Sakura turned around to see a masked man with white hair that shot up from his head. His mask covered much of his face except for his right eye which showed.
"Ah, Kakashi-sensei ohisashiburi desune?" –it's been a while hasn't it?- Sasuke asked the masked man.
"Ohisashiburi desuyo Sasuke," –it has been a while- Kakashi responded waving his hand at his former student.
"Hey Sasuke, who is this guy?" Karin asked.
"Well, he was my sensei for close quarters techniques last year. Man that class was really fun with Kakashi-sensei teaching it last year," Sasuke said reminiscing about the past.
"So Sasuke, who are the two girls with you?" Kakashi asked, closing his right eye a bit to get a 'better' look.
"Hey Kakashi, don't get any funny ideas you pervert," Sasuke said as he kicked Kakashi's shin. Kakashi held the pain in but grabbed his shin and jumped around on one leg for a bit.
"heh… gomen… gomen…"-gomen=sorry- Kakashi said half heartedly.
"Anyway, this my girlfriend Karin, and that's her sister, Sakura," Sasuke said introducing the two sisters with him.
"Hajimemashite ,"-kinda like hello except for the first time meeting- Karin and Sakura said bowing their heads to show respect.
"Wow, such respect, Sasuke you made the right choice," Kakashi said somewhat smiling. Karin blushed, Sasuke practically turned red and Sakura smiled a bit, but she was hurting inside.
'Why is it that Karin normally gets the guys while I get dumped,' Sakura thought to herself as she sighed, 'I hope this year will be different.'
"Anyway, where is the auditorium? If the orientation got moved from the hall to the auditorium, that probably means that a lot of students got in," Sakura asked.
"My, my, you're the intellectual," Kakashi joked, "Well just got straight through those doors and the auditorium will be on your left."
"Thanks. Well, see you around Kakashi-sensei," Sakura waved goodbye and started walking towards the auditorium.
"Hey Karin follow your sister, she's got the right idea, orientation starts in a bit," Sasuke said playing with Karin's crimison red hair.
"Alright, where are you going though?"
"Well I have classes today…" Sasuke said somewhat nervous.
"You seem nervous, Sasuke. What's up?" Kakashi questioned.
"Well… you see… I, uh…" Sasuke took a deep breath then let it out.
"Naruto-sempai is in charge of all my classes this year, and he was out to get me last year for the little stunt I pulled," Sasuke scratched his head. Kakashi looked on in horror, while Karin looked at the two and was lost in what was going on.
"Well these classes shouldn't be too hard for an Uchiha. After all you are the rising Uchiha prodigy that will rise through the ranks like his father and brother respectively," someone yawned behind the group. Kakashi and Sasuke froze while Karin looked to see who it was. He had yellow spiky hair and wore an orange collar button up with black slacks. He didn't look much other than Sasuke, probably a year or two over.
"Hey are those whiskers on your face?" Karin asked before Sasuke covered her mouth.
"Yea they are. Why, you jealous or something?" the yellow haired teen asked. Karin managed to take Sasuke's hand of her mouth by biting his hand. Sasuke pulled it back and shook it a bit while Karin engaged in a conversation with the mystery man.
"Yea, it's cute,"
"Heh, thanks. I'm Naruto, what's your name?" the yellow haired man introduced himself and extend a hand.
"I'm Karin, a first year student here, yoroshiku," Karin said smiling and shaking on it. 'I wonder why Sasuke got nervous when he said Naruto was in charge of his schedule. Hmmm maybe later,' Sasuke stood there with his head hanging while Kakashi was able to smile without anyone noticing it.
"Well if you're a first year then you'd better becoming to orientation with me, it'll be starting soon," Naruto said releasing his hand and walking towards the auditorium.
"Uh… Yea I guess," Karin said blushing somewhat dumbfounded. "Well see you later Sasuke," Karin waved before heading into the auditorium.
"Sasuke," Kakashi said looking at his former student.
"What?"
"Your fucked,"
"I know, I noticed that the minute he said Uchiha," Sasuke sighed while Kakashi laughed and walked away.
"O I almost forgot," Kakashi stopped turned around and handed Sasuke a scroll. "I almost forgot to hand you your… schedule," Sasuke looked horrified and slowly moved his hand to accept the scroll. "Th-Th-Thanks," Sasuke replied as he took the scroll from Kakashi's hand. Kakashi looked at his student and then smiled and walked away. Sasuke then unroll the school and looked at his schedule. It read,
You will not survive.
Sasuke knew what that meant. He then screamed in horror, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
-In the Auditorium-
Karin lost track of Naruto after he walked into the auditorium which was packed with students. She sighed and started looking around for her pink haired sister somewhere in the masses of people. The auditorium was extremely loud and noisy. Almost everyone was at least chatting with someone. Some people where claustrophobic so they were sweating like pigs and breathing heavy. There was literally no privacy in this place.
After somehow managing to squeeze through the crowds she managed to spot a waving hand. Karin followed the hand down to the point where she saw pink around where the elbow of the arm was. Karin then managed to squeeze through the crowd and met up with her sister again. Sakura was sitting down in the middle of two chairs desperately holding that second spot for Karin against the masses students that where gunning for a seat.
"TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH!" Sakura exploded at Karin as she took her seat.
"Hey at least I'm here now am I?" Karin shrugged. Sakura sighed and asked, "Well what the heck took? You're lucky that orientation hasn't started yet, cuz appearently they're running late," Sakura sighed again.
"Really? Why?" Karin asked, curious to see if her hunch was right.
"They said something along the lines of the MC is late,"
"I think I met the MC outside,"
"Really? Is he old?" Sakura asked just to keep the conversation going because she was bored of waiting.
"No he's not. Actually he can't be much older than you or me," Karin stated, which got Sakura somewhat interested.
"Is he buff?"
"How am I supposed to know? I didn't ask him to lift his shirt so I can see what's under it," Karin joked while Sakura gave a slight laugh.
"What's his name?"
"His name is-"
"Ok ladies and gentlemen, sorry for the delay in the orientation, we'll begin orientation now. So if you'll all take your seats," Someone on stage said into a microphone. As soon as he said that everybody shut up and sat down on the floor or chair if they hadn't already been in their seats prior.
"Alright thanks for your cooperation and patience, without further ado, I present your MC for this orientation, Uzimaki Naruto," the man said as he walked to the right and handed the mic over to a yellow spiky haired man in the school student uniform. Karin leaned over and whispered into Sakura's ear, "That's him, Naruto, that's the dude I met outside." Sakura nodded and focused her attention back to the stage, yet she felt something click in her head, she didn't know what it was though. 'Why do I get the feeling that I know this guy from somewhere… Why?'
"Ok sorry for the wait, I just had to deal with a few problems with some of my former classmates. Anyway let's begin shall we?"
-Orientation summed up-
Ok so here's how the school works. Before your actual classes begin, you will be assigned to a barrack. That barrack is your battle battalion for the whole school year. While a battle battalion is consisted of mainly ten members, the ten members will be split up into two squads. These squads will consist of four members and one squad leader. These squads will be your 'intimate family' while your battalion will be your 'family' for the school year. You'll need to form some pretty tight bonds with your squadron and bond with the other people in your barrack. This is cause as squads you will be in combat classes and training session with everyone else in your squad, while as barracks you will be competing in school barrack wars. These 'wars' gives rewards to the winners while the losers will be punished with either clean up duty, detention, or even humiliation, so don't lose and always push for the win.
As the schedule stands, you will have two more weeks of no academic classes while living in the barracks. However you will be in combat classes starting tomorrow. You will have the rest of the day to go home and pack your stuff and move into the barracks assigned. Once you move in your barracks your squads with be formed. Don't worry about squad leaders as they've already been chosen.
-After thirty minutes of talking-
"So, is there any questions regarding the next few weeks?" Naruto asked as nobody raised their hands. Naruto smiled and ended the orientation with the statement, "Ok, your barrack numbers are outside the auditorium and we hope you have a good year here at Chronos Battle Academy," then left the stage.
With that, everyone got off their seats and headed for the exits. The exits were soon filled with people, since there was a small hallway after the exits leading out of the building. Karin and Sakura, being the smart one that Sakura is, just sat down and waited for the crowd to left then they would leave soon afterwards.
"This school seems interesting, eh Sakura?" Karin asked, kinda half asleep. The orientation was really boring, just one dude talked the entire way through so it's no real surprise that many students fell asleep during the thing.
"Yea, a little bit I guess," Sakura answered back. They then started fantasizing about random things like the classes and teachers and some of the students in the Barracks, squads and such. After about five to seven minutes the exits where clean and those waiting for them to unclog walked outside. Sakura and Karin then walked over to the barrack assignment board to check where they'd be living for the next year. There was still a big crowd around the boards as people were looking for their barracks number.
"Ugh, why is there a still a big crowd for this?" Karin complained.
"Just be patient, we'll get our turn sooner or later," Sakura countered.
"Technically your turn is now," Someone said behind the sisters. They turned around to see a red haired man with the love kanji on his forehead. He was dressed in the regular school uniform and hanging out on his hip was a small gourd.
"Who are you?" Karin kindly asked.
"My name is Gaara, you two are in my barrack. Go home pack your stuff and meet me at the school gates in an hour," Gaara said in a somewhat commanding voice.
"How do you know we're in your barrack?" Sakura asked, very unconvinced that he was telling the truth.
"I have your papers and your barrack assignment right here…" Gaara said pulling out some sheets and handing them over to Karin and Sakura respectively. Karin glanced at it quickly and immediately believed him while Sakura looked a bit more carefully at it. But in the end she concluded the papers where legit.
"Alright so back here with our stuff in an hour?" Karin checked with Gaara who nodded.
"Ok see you in one hour then," Sakura said as Karin and herself started back towards their house to pack their belongings. Gaara sighed and turned around and started walking back towards the open field behind the auditorium.
"You sure you're gonna go through with this Naruto?" Gaara asked Naruto who was behind the auditorium leaning on the wall.
"Yea, I'm more than confident that this will work, hopefully," Naruto fired back with confidence. Gaara sighed and nodded his head, "Ok, just don't get your squad killed, like Sasuke last year,"
"Sasuke Uchiha you'd expect to be a child prodigy, but I beat the boy to a snot before he admitted defeat. The only thing he's got is a stubbornness that will end him someday. He needs to break that and then he might be able to best me, but until then he's got nothing," Naruto stated.
"Hey sempai that hurt," Sasuke responded. Naruto shot Sasuke a look and Sasuke rolled his eyes, "But half of it is true,"
"Speaking of truths, isn't it true that you're supposed to be cleaning the barrack bathrooms at this hour?" Gaara asked.
"What?" Sasuke shouted in an unimpressed but definitely nervous tone. He took out his schedule and he saw a big YES on the sheet. Sasuke groaned and started walking back to the barracks while Gaara and Naruto laughed a bit.
"So Naruto you sure this Sakura girl is of the Haruno blood?" Gaara asked. Naruto shook his head and got off the wall. He then looked Gaara in the face and said, "Of course." Naruto paused as he took a breath "I would remember the girl that I'm supposed to protect and be with for all eternity."
