Chapter 2: Academy, Training and Meeting the Uchihas
It has been a day since Naruto returned back home. His elder siblings still treats him like trash, though Naruto knows they are just jealous because he is the second to youngest and their grandfather deemed him strong enough to be the heir of the Uzumaki Clan. Naruto's younger brother; however, ignores him whenever possible due to Kurama.
"Naruto, you're going back to the academy tomorrow right?" The Uzumaki Clan Head, Arashi asked.
Naruto responded, "You know it Ojii-sama. Why? Did something happen? Should I stay home?"
Arashi smiled softly and said, "No, no, don't worry I was just curious if you're well enough to go back to class, but it seems that thanks to the Kyuubi you're re-energized to go back to class." Arashi looked carefully at his grandson and tried to think of some just that he might be able to get him to learn before going back to the Academy the next day. Quickly thinking of some basic jutsus that all Uzumakis need to learn before their first year at the academy, Arashi asked, "Well Naruto? How about some training before you go back to the Academy tomorrow? I believe that this would be a good time to teach you the Fuuton: Daitoppa. You think you're up for it?"
Naruto smiled and said, "Of course Ojii-sama! I'll definitely master the justu, Dattebayo! Damn verbal tic!"
Arashi laughed and then said, "Your mother also hates her verbal tic, but I think its cute. Well meet me at the training ground." With that he headed to the training ground, which is locate deep in the woods right behind the compound."
Naruto pouted and followed his grandfather.
A few minutes passed when grandfather and grandson arrived at the training grounds, where they found the Uchiha Clan head, Fugaku Uchiha and the heir, Itachi. Naruto greet, "Fugaku-sama, Itachi-nii. How are you two?"
Fugaku sighed, "Could have been better if I didn't hear that you got landed in the hospital AGAIN."
Naruto said, "Well, anyways I'm going to learn my first elemental ninjutsu today! I can't wait."
Itachi asked, "Oh? Fuuton: Daitoppa right? So soon? You only just entered the Academy, and even with that you entered a year early, since you are only 6."
Naruto said, "But you entered at 6 too, Itachi-nii."
Fugaku slightly chuckled.
Itachi said, "Well, that may be true... um never mind, we will leave you to your training then, Naruto-kun. Please excuse us Arashi-sama." With that the Uchihas headed back to their compound.
Naruto gazed to the distance where his honorary uncle and brother left, and when they were out of sight, he turned back to his grandfather for further instructions.
Arashi instructed, "Okay Naruto, The hand signs to Fuuton: Daitoppaare: Tiger- Ox - Dog - Rabbit- Snake," as he was saying them, he performed the hand signs and exhaled a huge blast of wind, causing some trees to snap.
Naruto gasped, "So cool! Alright, I'm going to try it too, Dattebayo!" Naruto quickly performed the hand signs and exhaled a smaller blast of wind, which to most ninjas was normal, but for an Uzumaki, who has a lot of chakra, is a bit small.
Arashi nodded and said, "Not bad, for your first try... definitely better than your older siblings, Shiro and Yuri.
Naruto smiled brightly, and tried again, and again and again. Then by the fifth time, he managed a wind as big as his grandfather's.
Arashi nodded approvingly. He motioned Naruto to do one more, before they head back to the compound for dinner.
During dinner, Naruto told his parents what happened during his training.
Minato laughed and said, "That's great Naruto-kun! You're definitely going to become a strong ninja one day!"
Kushina smiled brightly and said, "Of course he his! He is my son after all Dattebane! It is nice to know that all three of my kids who learned the justu mastered it within a week."
Shiro, the eldest son of Minato and Kushina scowled and continued to eat. He stayed quiet, knowing that it is obvious that his younger brother was stronger than him.
Yuri, the twin of Shiro and only daughter questioned, "What is with the 1 week thing anyways, okaa-chan? You mentioned it before when Shiro and I were learning the jutsu."
Kushina answered, "The 1 week deadline is basically a test that all Uzumaki children have to pass during their first year of the Academy. When they accept the invitation to learn the jutsu, they must learn it within a week, or your ojii-san will pull them out of the Academy until the next year, when they can try again."
Yuri said, "So, that is why you were panicking when Shiro and I didn't get the jutsu down until the last day."
Kushina said, "Precisely. Now Hiroshi, don't play with your food."
Hiroshi said, "Yes, Okaa-chan."
After dinner, the night went on eventless. Soon after the kids went back to bed, followed soon after by everyone else.
Next morning came rather fast for the Uzumaki children. Naruto woke up at the stroke of 7. He quickly got ready for the day. He grabbed his backpack and walked downstairs. He greeted his grandfather and mother and then sat down at the table, "Itadakimasu." He began eating.
Arashi asked, "Are you ready Naruto?"
Naruto swallowed the food and answered, "Yes ojii-sama. Though I do hope Shiro and Yuri will come down soon, cause they are going to be late."
Kushina sighed, "Not again." She got up and went to wake up her two slacker kids.
Naruto soon after finished his breakfast, "Gochiso sama deshita." He got up and went to the front door. He put on his sandals and said, "Ittekimasu!"
Arashi responded, "Itterasshai!"
Naruto began jogging to the Academy, not minding the obvious glares of the villagers. Soon after, with 35 minutes to spare, Naruto arrived to his classroom, to see Iruka-sensei preparing for the class. He greeted, "Ohayo ANB... I mean Iruka-Sensei!"
Iruka looked up and said, "Ohayo Naruto-kun. It is good to have you back. How are you feeling? Everything good after I left the hospital to report to your father right?"
Naruto said, "Yeah, I am fully healed, and ready to learn sensei."
Iruka said, "Good, because today we are going to have a practical lesson."
Naruto smiled and cheered.
After a while later, all the other students began showing up.
"Ohayo, Naruto-san," Renji, a member of the Hyuuga Clan's main branch greeted.
Naruto greeted back, "Ohayo Renji-san."
"Naruto-kun! You're back!" Tsumiko, Itachi's cousin exclaimed.
Naruto said, "Indeed I am Tsumiko-chan."
The three friends began catching up the time they missed, while Naruto was in the hospital. Naruto quickly found out that they were going to learn about Konoha's ninja clans tomorrow, and it is an understatement that he is going to be bored, since the information was drilled into all clan heirs at 3. Naruto sighed in disbelief, and cannot wait to graduate so he can finally become a ninja.
"Ohayo mina-san. Now cla..." Iruka was suddenly cut off by Shiro and Yuri's grand entrance.
Yuri said, "Sorry, we overslept."
Iruka sighed, "Get to your seats now, class is in session now."
With that the late duo sat down and Iruka began the lesson.
