Academy Arc: Getting In


Iruka watches as the new students file into the room. They look timid and shy, none are talking to each other. You could hear a pin drop in the room, everyone awaiting what he has to say so intently. "All right students, in order to become a part of the academy and become a ninja, you must first pass the requirements, which I will say now." He pauses for a breath and then continues reciting the words he has said so much before to aspiring and promising children. "The requirements are: Love the village and hope to help preserve peace and prosperity, have a mind that will not yield, able to endure hard training and work, and be healthy in mind. If the conditions are met, admission to the Academy will be granted." When he said "love the village and hope to help preserve peace and prosperity", he could have sworn he heard a chuckle from a long, dark-haired girl standing by herself in the back. When he looks her way, she meets his gaze and sticks up her middle finger at him. He then mentally takes back what he said about them being a promising group of kids. They are just a bunch of idiots with a strange sense humor. After she makes the rude gesture, he promptly looks away from the rude girl.

I hope she leaves. He thinks hopefully while staring at the class.

He stares in amazement as five people leave the classroom. Sadly, none of them was that girl. Then Iruka Umino smiles to himself, thinking, I will just put her in the worst seat possible, in front of me. That means I can pick on her all year until she goes down on her knees and cries, "Oh sensei I am so sorry about before oh, please forgive me I will do anything!" and I will say, "Leave this classroom and never return unless you grade all the homework for me with deadly precision." And she would be like, "Oh, of course I will grade all the homework for you! You are the best teacher ever!" and she would blow me a kiss and get to work. Oh, it's a perfect plan.

"Sensei?" says a kid that is standing next to a group of thugs. Iruka then thought that the kid looked like a thug, too.

Then he thought of a plan, more brilliant than any that he has ever thought of before. I will be walking by, minding my own business when I trip on the kid's foot. The kid will be like, "What is your problem?" And I will be like, "You talking to me dawg?" and he will be like, "What is your problem?" And I will be like, "You sit in the front with the dark-haired girl." And he will be like "Teach, that is not fair!" And then he takes his seat and instantly fall in love with her. The next day, he will walk into the room early, hand-in-hand with the girl and say, "Teach I need some alone time with my partner in all the right places, aight? You understand how it goes?" And then I will say, "I will let you and your...girlfriend... move to the back if you, my man, teach the class and that dark-haired girl grades all the papers with deadly precision, then I will let you to sit in the back." And then he will be like, "Teach, my man, you are the best." And he will blow me a kiss and get to work.

"Sensei, Sensei, What is your problem?" the thug says.

Iruka then says, "All right class, I have your seating chart." Pretending that he didn't hear the thug, he reaches over and grabs the seating chart.

I will get you later, thug.

"Okay, class." He then says a bunch of names that no one cares about and no one will ever hear. "Naomi Natsuki, in front of my desk. Ren Kiyomizu, next to her."

The black-haired girl sighs and sits down in front of my desk while the other girl quietly sits down and politely nods her head in Iruka's direction. Score! One : Iruka, Zero : Dark-haired girl.

"Takeshi...Thug...I mean Takeshi, just go sit somewhere. I need to see you and that Dark-haired girl after class."
