I don't own anything except for me OC's. naruto belongs to a guy called kishimoto and he cant write for crap. and Pokémon belongs to the ingenious bastards over at Nintendo.
chapter 2: A Change in a Flash.
If one would describe the classroom that one Chunnin Iruka had to teach, it would be with colorful words.
Chaotic.
Hell
Nightmare
Filled with…chirin (yes it's a word)
"For the love of god why did I think that this was a good idea?"
And said Chunnin was currently crying tears in his mind at the harsh reality of his situation.
He signed up to teach the next generation of ninja, not a bunch of devil-spawn!
Sighing for the umpteenth time, Iruka went over the children that stood out in his class.
Shino Aburame. Silent, calm, bit of a social outcast, strange obsession with…teddy bears?
Okay moving on.
Ino Yamanaka, good aim, interest in poisons, takes care of flowers, and…gossip queen?
Iruka decided to change the hiding spot of his icha icha ones every month, scratch that, every week.
Kiba Inuzuka. Brash, a bit arrogant (thankfully not uchiha levels), likes his puppy, and…instigated a prank war with aiko Namikaze?
He decided to keep a close eye on his surroundings. Being drenched in dog piss did not sound like a fun idea to Iruka.
Nara Shikamaru. Lazy, highly intelligent, likes to cloud watch. Strange fascination with melons.
Okay…moving on.
Sasuke uchiha. Arrogant, prideful, big-brother hero worship complex borderline obsession.
Iruka just pretended he didn't see that.
Hinata hyuga. Shy, great at taijutsu, stalks Naruto.
Iruka made a mental reminder to have hinata visit a Yamanaka for mental evaluation.
Sakura Haruno. Civilian girl. Amazing chakra control, enrolled into an apprenticeship to Senju Tsunade. Stalks sasuke.
Was Ino the only normal girl here? Maybe being a Yamanaka helped that out?
Choji Akamitchi. Kind hearted kid, loyal, has the clan trigger word.
"don't call him fat, don't call him fat, don't call him fat..."
Aiko uzamaki-Namikaze, konoha's princess, currently in a prankster war, ramen obsession, a prodigy.
Two pranksters, Iruka was getting nervous.
Now Iruka came to the three that actually interested him. It was the freak three.
Luke Unova. Sarcastic and snarky, prone to punching people in the face, loyal to those that have earned his trust, and near perfect mastery of the hyoton bloodline.
Now THAT made Iruka's eyes go wide. Konoha had a user of the hyoton bloodline? And near perfect mastery at the age of three? That sent alarm bells in Iruka's head.
Moving on. Athena pantheon. High mental prowess, observed moving things with her mind alone, beware the hannya mask. Do not risk her ire.
Iruka had to sweatdrop at that. Surely she couldn't be that bad…right?
And finally the one that Iruka actually wanted to see.
Naruto uzamaki. Nindaime levels of water manipulation, highly empathetic, ramen obsession, currently in a prankster war with aiko Namikaze.
Iruka went from shock to face desk in the span of two second upon reading that. Nindaime levels of water manipulation? Only those from whirlpool had skill that rivalled Tobimira! And the ramen obsession really? Prankster war? Just how could someone be so stupid, yet be brilliant like the fourth hoka…
And then it hit him.
Blond hair.
Blue eyes.
Ramen obsession.
Prankster nature.
Jinchuriki.
The fourth hokage had disowned his own son!?
He believed that the fox took over his son?
How stupid could the man be?
Is that why the third asked him to be a big brother to the little guy?
Regardless Iruka had a class to teach, and so with great reluctance, he walked into the typhoon of noise that was his class.
He began his career by getting a look at all his students.
Again the only ones that stood out were the clan hiers+sakura, and the trio of orphans.
Hinata was sitting to the right of Kiba and Naruto while petting Akamaru, meanwhile the two mentioned boys seemed to be in a deep discussion. He couldn't catch the gist of it, but he did hear mention of "dog piss" and "proper preparation".
A shudder ran down his spine.
Aiko and sasuke were off to the side engaged in the most interesting game of who-can-glare-the-scariest.
Shikamaru was sleeping beside Luke. Who looked at the lazy Nara, before proceeding to say "man preaches the word of Arceus" and then promptly fell asleep right next the lazy Nara. Choji, who was sitting next to shikamaru, just looked at the two boys, shrugged, and then fell asleep with them.
Que the massive sweatdrop.
Shino was in the back having a discussion on the finer points of his clan's techniques with Athena, who interjected a suggestion on how to improve them every now and then.
Ino was in the front of the class trying to bring Sakura out of her shy demeanor, although judging by the blush on the pinket's face; it will take a lot of effort.
Deciding that he had observed enough he decided to get their attention so he could start the day.
"Attention class" he said in a stern voice.
Nothing happened. The class just kept on chatting away. He decided to shout.
"oy, class is in session!" he said, his voice louder than before.
Again nothing. A tick mark grew on his head. And then his head swelled to cartoonish proportions.
"SHUT UP AND LISTEN!"
That seemed to get their attention.
After the class quieted down he began to do the roll call. As he called each student he had every one state their goals. You could discern a lot about a person if you knew their ambition.
Now because we only really care about the konoha 9, or is it twelve in this case (?) only they will be listed.
Aburame Shino: to become a respected clan head.
Akamitchi Choji: to open the best restraunt in konoha.
Haruno Sakura: to become a medic ninja greater than Tsunade.
Hyuga hinata: to connect her family.
Inuzuka Kiba: to have a harem of really hot women!
Namikaze-uzamaki aiko: become hokage!
Nara shikamaru: get married with a normal, have two kids, one a boy and one girl, retire, before playing shogi and cloud watching for the rest of his life.
Pantheon Athena: to find the hidden land!
Uchiha sasuke: beat his itachi-nii-san.
Unova Luke: to be the very best that ever was.
Uzamaki Naruto (aiko was surprised at his last name): to explore the world.
Yamanaka Ino: to take over her father's flower shop.
Iruka smiled as he wrote all that down. They all had normal dreams. No desire to family members, homicidal urges, or anything like that. This class was going to be okay.
-Back with the hokage-
Itachi sneezed as he told the hokage of how his mission went.
To this the hokage offered a tissue box. Which itachi politely declined.
"Itachi I know you just got back, but I have another assignment for you" minato spoke in an even voice.
"What is it I need to do sir?" was the calm, emotionless reply.
"I need you to watch over the kyubi container. He has just enrolled into the academy. He's in the same class as your little brother. Think of this as an ongoing C-rank."
At this itachi quirked an eyebrow. He had been ignoring the young jinchuriki for the better part of the boys first decade. So why was he taking an interest now of all times?
"It will be done." And with that the uchiha prodigy left the room.
He did not see the yondaime hokage look over to a picture of a pregnant kushina with only one thought going through his head.
Where we wrong? If so then we have made a terrible mistake. And if not…then kyubi will pay.
-back to the cast-
Regular class had just ended and the 8 year olds were rushing outside to do exercises. Namely running laps around the damn courtyard. Unknown to all but Athena (due to her emotion sensing abilities) there was a certain uchiha watching. He was observing four individuals.
Sasuke uchiha
Athena pantheon, who he was sure knew he was there (judging by how she looked at his hiding spot)
Luke Unova (otherwise known as konoha's master ice sculptor)
And his mission target, Uzamaki Naruto. One of konoha's known jinchuriki. Yes one of them.
He saw the similarities he had to the Namikaze family and connected the dots.
Remember this is itachi motherfucking uchiha.
He watched the group of ninja hopefuls run around the courtyard. With the two uzamaki siblings at the front of the group, butting heads as they raced each other.
He watched as the exercise ended and the class move onto lunch, each kid gravitating towards their friends.
He saw the Yamanaka heiress drag the Haruno girl over to the Nara and Akamitchi heirs.
He watched as the hyuga heiress joined the three favorites of the third hokage.
He watched as the Inuzuka and Aburame heirs talked with the Namikaze princess.
And finally, he watched his younger brother run away from a gaggle of girls that wanted to…be friendly with the uchiha heir.
"Dear lord, I was older when it happened to me…good luck little brother."
For some reason Sasuke felt like punching his older brother.
He smiled at his brothers misfortune caused by the second curse of the uchiha before a certain scene caught his attention.
Looking down at the clearing he saw a group of civilian kids gather around the hyoton user. Squinting his eyes he saw why.
Luke and Naruto where putting on a show. It involved Naruto throwing water the gray haired lad as he froze the water mid-air. While the whole water freezing thing wasn't much of a shock to the uchiha prodigy, it was the matter of where Naruto was getting the water from. Or lack thereof.
He was pulling out of the air. Something that only the Nindaime could do with years of practiced chakra control.
And the village pariah was doing it like it was the simplest thing in the world.
Itachi smirked.
"Maybe this assignment won't be as boring as I thought." He mentally chuckled.
In previous years, due to war, the academy courses where grueling, rushed, and brutal. But it did its job.
To turn children into killers.
The shinobi profession is not for everyone. It is a very mentally taxing job that often ends in death, or insanity. Very rarely does someone leave the profession as an old fart. But people such as Sarutobi Hiruzen do indeed exist. However the academy curriculum has changed under the Yondaime's reign.
It became more varied. More classes and lessons were being given. Aspiring shinobi now had to take classes on seduction, how to perform it and how to resist it. Doesn't matter what your gender is, it's mandatory.
Poisons. Academy students had to study poisons. How to make them, what antidote to use, and how to use them. It was a grueling class. Involving memorization of a crapton of herbs, and a bit of chemistry as well when the kids would get to making them.
Medical techniques, a personal request from Tsunade. Students were required to learn first aid, and proper care of injuries. How to get rid of infection. And how to care for patients.
Fuinjutsu. The art of sealing. One of the most difficult branches of the ninja arts, as well as one of the strongest. Since konoha had the most seal masters it made sense that it would start up an academy course on it.
And if course, a super stealth course. Curtesy of Danzo himself. He recommended that as assassins, the shinobi hopefuls should be taught how to run without making a sound, how to sneak without being caught, how to blend into the shadows, how to impersonate an enemy, and how to track without being seen.
But the most drastic change was the one of the final things an academy graduate had to do to graduate.
The first kill.
To fully graduate, a gennin hopeful had to take a life. And seeing as how there was no shortage of bandit attacks on small towns…well they always had more scum than prison cells. So why not empty a little space?
So why not do it in a controlled environment? It was for that reason the change actually got passed by the shinobi council.
Besides, by the time the final year started, only those who were serious about becoming a shinobi remained. So that's a plus.
It was cases like those that became mandatory that caused an increase in the graduating age, as well as upping the survival change of gennin in case of emergency, or a C-class mission gone wrong.
But like that ever happens right. Oh who am I kidding. Most gennin die on C-class missions gone wrong. It was for that reason that most of the classes were made even more brutal than wartime academy teachings.
And it was for this reason that Luke Unova was face desking. Repeatedly.
"This shit was never in the manga! Why the hell did they not have this shit earlier!? Seriously, this stuff could save lives! Isn't it the village's priority to make as many powerful ninjas as possible? Gah, why do all the good changes happen when Minato's in charge? It makes all the more difficult to not like the guy.
Unknown to Luke, he had gathered the attention of everyone in the classroom due to his application of the use of his head for the process of inflicting as much bodily harm to the head as possible.
It wasn't until Athena got up and walked over to him.
"Get a hold of yourself man!"
And thus the a rather painful SLAP reverberated throughout the classroom. Knocking Luke out of his seat and onto the floor.
"Ah, thank you for that partner. You always know what is needed to keep me on track." He said sagely.
The one thought going around the classroom was is that a normal thing?
As if answer to that question Athena swiped imaginary dust off her hands as she walked back to her desk with all the dignity a prestigious clan heiress.
Trying to get things back on track before they were all treated to the amusing sight of Luke freaking out, Iruka coughed into his hand. Making every one of the eight year-olds turn their heads toward him.
"Now that that is over with ill continue with what I was saying." He said before picking up a clipboard.
"Every one of you will be taking an extra class each year. What that class will be is up to you and what kind of ninja you will become. However by the end of the year you will have been to all these extra classes."
He seeped the classroom to make sure that the kids were paying attention. They where.
"And if you're not serious about becoming an assassin for the village, to become a shinobi, to kill, sacrifice, and die for the village, then get out." He said in a commanding tone.
Seeing as how no one moved Iruka decided to lay it on thick.
"How many of you think that this is just a game? How many of you just want to be able to shoot out fireballs out of your mouths? To walk on water? To just be a glory hound? Well news flash, shinobi aren't flashy. We steal, we take lives, we save lived, and we leave people to die. The shinobi life ain't for the faint of heart, and if you don't want to die…then leave."
It was at this that most of the class left. The clan heirs stayed, as well as our trio of heroes, as well as a few civilian kids. It was when all the faint of heart left that Athena raised her hand.
"Yes Athena?" asked Iruka.
"Why is it that you gave that speech, as far as I'm aware that was the first time that kind of speech was given at the academy." Questioned the greenet.
"It's simple really, it was a countermeasure that was just put in, that was the test run" he answered.
Everyone left raised an eyebrow.
"A countermeasure for what?" questioned one Uchiha Sasuke.
"Fangirls" was the curt reply.
Next second the Uchiha was hugging the instructor while thanking him profusely. Much to the instructors annoyance and the classes enjoyment.
For the rest of the day the class would have a history lesson on the founding of konoha. To which the more combat oriented students ignored and the intelligent ones jotted down notes of.
-some weeks later-
"Why is it just now that the village is doing the anti-fangirl protocal?" questioned one irate Itachi Uchiha.
This of course only caused Minato Namikaze to raise an eyebrow at the amount of salt in that statement alone.
"Is there a problem with doing it now Uchiha?"
"…it's because if it was put into place sooner I wouldn't have graduated at the age of eight!"
This caused Minato's eyebrow other eyebrow to rise.
"So your saying that the reason you graduated early…was to escape your fangirls?"
"Yes! And because of you I can't see my little brother suffer like I and the rest of my clan did!"
Ignoring the normally stoic Uchiha's break of his cold exterior, the fourth hokage looked over jonin Iruka's report.
The bingo book, the basic bounty book as well as the book of ninjas you should avoid. A ninja's greatest tool is deception. People aren't supposed to know that capabilities of a ninja. Ninja are supposed to be assassins, death dealing warriors of unknown strength. That's why many competent shinobi don't want to be in the bingo book, so that their opponents don't know their skills and abilities.
That's why many shinobi villages don't advertise the skill levels of their shinobi. All jonin are jonin only because their skill level got out. And because they were given the rank they serve as a distraction for the other jonin level shinobi that aren't jonin. Deception is indeed a ninja's greatest tool.
Iruka was just one of the many jonin that don't have the position. Two more examples would be the 'eternal Chunnin' Izumo and Kotestu. That's why they were given the job of guarding the village gate. Because the enemies that tried to get in would be immediately identified by the two seemingly Chunnin level Nins.
And to better solidify the secrecy, only the third hokage knows the skill level of all secret jonin in the village. And should he die a seal will appear on the hokage desk that will only react to the kage's hat. This system was put in place by the Nindaime. And so far it has worked.
Of course every hidden village has a system like the one mentioned above. It is a world of ninjas. And there are certain phrases that have been coined by these protection systems. One example would be Sunagakure. It is widely believed that it is the weakest. But because of that many ninja underestimate the sand ninja. And the take advantage of that. And to the phrase 'a boasting sand Nin ain't a sand Nin" was born.
Minato shook his head. Iruka was one of the few secret jonin that he knew existed, and judgejing by the highly detailed report he had on the academy kids that where left behind after most of the class quit. He continued to read the phych reports on the kids, the goals each one had, current stamina, and the new classes that each kid signed up for. This would be the fourth class that would be subjected to the new curriculum. And if the results of the previous three classes is anything to go by, then this one would definantly do great things.
He had no bloody idea about the shit storm that was on its way.
As he was reading through he finally came upon the trio that had been on his mind for the past few days ever since he and his family saw them playing in the park with is daughter's friend Hinata.
Luke Unova, an orphan from a shinobi family and holder of the hyoton bloodline. Or what most people believed to be hyoton. Minato knew better. Hyoton is not nearly as versatile as what that kid could do. Whatever it was, it was different and deadly. A possible mutation of the hyoton bloodline? But his parents never had it. So why did he?
He was the leader of sorts to the trio, and he had a certain lack of respect to authority. Definantly a kid to look out for.
Athena Pantheon. Not human, Minato knew that. But she was a citizen of Konoha. And because of that he would protect her like any other citizen of his village. She was highly intelligent, more so than any child should be. And then theres her psychic abilities. Mind reading, projecting thoughts, and psychokinesis. It was a headache getting the Yamanaka clan off her back.
And then theres another thing about her that he just couldn't remember. All that he could dig up was a mask of sorts, but every time he tried to recall that memory he was filled with terror for some reason. So he dropped it. Maybe he should get the Yamanaka's to help him out with it? But wait, every time he brought it up with one of them they flat out refused to help him. And so he was back to square one.
The final member of the trio. His former son that was possessed by the fox. He still remembers how his still childlike form glowed red as the conscious of the demon was sealed into him.
And then his eyes turned red. And the pupil was replaced with a slit.
He and kushina knew that they lost their son that day.
And they couldn't just kill of the fox. Doing so would allow it merge with its chakra that was inside their daughter. They had no choice but to let the fox stay imprisoned in their son as he used it like a puppet.
The seal was used on their daughter was one that would slowly merge the chakra of the fox into their daughter, eventually making the fox lose any chance of gaining its chakra. And that same seal was applied to their son. Meaning that their son's still forming mind was merged with that of the fox.
Or so they thought. They had been questioning their decision ever since they saw little Hinata playing with them at the park.
-Flashback time!-
"Do you even know what will hatch from this egg Luke?"
"Of course I know Athena! It's a bloody Manaphy! The prince/princess of the seas! Your pretty lucky Naruto, having this one be one of your six."
"It's because I'm awesome!"
"N-naruto I think t-that y-you shouldn't m-mess with the e-egg like t-that."
At the mention of the name 'Naruto' kushina's head turned around to fast it almost broke the space-time continuum.
And then she saw the scene before her.
The freak three plus the hyuga heiress were sitting around a blue egg with a red core. It seemed to be shaking quite a lot, like it was about to hatch.
The gray haired child, Luke, was lying down with a toothpick in his mouth.
The green haired child she saw at the academy with the…Hannya mask was sitting down and drawing a picture of the scene before her.
The Hyuga heiress was staring at the egg with her dojutsu.
And finally the demon had this smile on his face as he tossed a ball toward a…floating key ring?
Kushina had to smack herself to make sure she wasn't seeing things. Unfortunately that same smacking sound caught the attention of the four children.
It was the gray haired kid that spoke up.
"Your…Miss Kushina right?" he said in a respectful tone.
"Ah" she fumbled for a bit, put off by the fact that the kid called her by her name instead of 'Namikaze-sama' "yes that would be me."
The kid nodded his head before asking his question "then you wouldn't you happen to know any in Konoha that has a large abundance of water? Like a river or a miniature lake?" he asked
Kushina had to wonder about that. Why would a kid ask a question about that? Then of course she put two and two together.
"It's for that egg isn't it?"
He smiled sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head in a Minato like way.
"Yeah the creature that hatches from this egg needs large bodies of water to survive. So I wanted to know."
Kushina nodded her head. That was expectable. If you were going to take care of a baby then you would need to know what it essentially needed. And while she was curious about what kind of creature a Manaphy was and why she never heard of one until now, she didn't want to be in the presence of the fox any longer, so she proceeded to answer his question.
That is she was but she was interrupted by a certain redheaded daughter of kushina's.
"Mom! There you are! The ice cream man is over there and I really want so-YOU!"
The red-headed daughter of Kushina Uzamaki and Minato Namikaze wore a yellow long-sleeved kimono and bright blue sandals. And had her hair in a ponytail that came down to her torso.
Aiko Uzamaki-Namikaze popped out from behind the tree that Luke had been lying against. Whereupon she immediately went to her mother before she dramatically pointed at the floating key ring.
"Yeah me… whachu want fool?"spoke the key ring.
"You're the one that replaced all of my yellow clothes with orange! I hate orange! I declare a prank war on you!"
Cue the sweatdrop on everyone one present except for Naruto and klefki.
"Challenge accepted kid, I'm gonna show ya how we do it oldschoo-" cue interruption from Naruto "HOLD IT!"
Everyone present turned to Naruto.
"You say you hate orange? Screw you! Orange is awesome! I declare a prank war on you! And I propose an alliance with klefki over here!"
"Alliance accepted mofo."
"Then I Aiko Uzamaki-Namikaze, and my ally Kiba Inuzuka declare prank war upon the key ring alliance!"
-back with the Inuzuka clan-
Kiba shuddered before realizing what the shudder meant.
"Kiba? You alright pup?" asked one Tsume Inuzuka, clan head of the Inuzuka clan.
"It's nothing mom, it's just that…someone had declared war on the bitchin alliance." Spoke Kiba in a calm and steady voice that was uncharacteristic of him.
Everyone present raised an eyebrow before speaking in deadpan unison.
"What."
-Back at the park-
Kushina had to suppress the urge to jump in and declare prank war on the demon fox as well but decided not to. For one, she was a clan head and couldn't indulge in such childish acts. And two, this was a prank war on her daughters honor. No one replaces all her daughters' clothes with those orange monstrosity's!
Eventually she had to suppress the urge to giggle though, because her daughter and the demon fox had ended up in a happy-slaps fight of epic proportions. Eventually though her attention was brought back to the question that was thrown at her by the gray haired kid that was currently pulling on her dress.
"Yeah, what is it kid?" she said with a smile.
"Well back to my question, do you kn-"
"Hey Kushina-chan, what's up?"
And then there was her husband who just popped out of nowhere. Or rather 'flashed' out of nowhere.
Of course before she could answer the question she was interrupted by a certain glowing egg. Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and crowded around the egg that was in Naruto's arms.
And when the egg hatched the first thing it saw was Naruto's smiling face, to which it immediately hugged him with an adorable cry of "PAPA!" and down they went.
Minato hadn't yet realized that it was his former son that was getting hugged so he simply smiled at the scene.
"Hokage-sama?"
He turned to the gray-haired lad that looked vaguely familiar to him.
"Yes what is it?"
"Do you happen to know any place that is highly abundant in water, like a river or a mini-lake?"
The hokage put his on his chin as if in contemplation before answering.
"Yes…training ground 24 is practically one giant lake both above ground and below. Why do you ask?"
The boy simply pointed at the adorable blue animal that had hatched from the egg. Which was now hugging Hinata and calling her 'mama'.
"The creature is known as a Manaphy. And while they can survive on land, they need a lot of exposure to water to survive."
"Manaphy?" he muttered under his breath before inspecting the blue creature further, and then noticing just who the creature was hugging. It was his former son.
Rage. That's all he felt whenever he saw the demon that was possessing his son. He turned away from the cute scene before him.
"Kushina, Aiko lets go get some ice cream shall we?"
While Aiko was nodding with enthusiasm Kushina was looking at the scene with an odd look.
"Minato…" she said with a frown.
"Come on Kushi-chan. Let's get Aiko some ice cream."
"Yeah…let's go." She said as she left the four plus a newborn.
They never noticed the strange look that the Athena gave them as she finished a drawing of the Namikaze family with Naruto off to the side looking sad.
Luke looked over and saw the drawing.
"It's sad just how true that is" he said before turning to the rest of their group to tell them where to go for Manaphy to play in the water.
As they left they never saw the curious look that on Kakashi Hatake gave them.
"That wasn't faked…" he said before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.
-Flashback end-
Minato sighed. Ever since that day in the park he and kushina have had the same thoughts. Were we wrong? Kushina was having those thoughts more than him. She always wanted to have a son and if they were wrong that would mean that they would have committed one of the worst things a parent could do.
Parental neglect. It was gnawing on Kushina's conscious. And the questions Aiko was asking about the reason that she wasn't told why there was another Uzamaki in the village.
Naruto. That was the reason that they had Itachi watch over him. To see if they were wrong. And if they were, they would do everything in their power to make up for that mistake.
Minato was not stupid. If what he feared turned out to be true, then Kushina would beg for him to live with them in their house. And try to include him in everything to try and make up for their neglect.
But he knew that it would have to be a slow process. They couldn't just up and tell him the truth. They would have to make him comfortable with them. And for that to start off he would need to be friends with his daughter so that she could invite him over for dinner…
He shoved those thoughts to the back of his mind so that he could address the Uchiha in front of him.
"Your dismissed Itachi. Continue your observations until such a time when told."
"Yes sir" and with that the Uchiha prodigy left in a swirl of leaves.
The yellow flash then turned to the stack of papers in front of him.
"And now it begins…" he then grabbed a pen, clicked it, then grabbed the first paper before shouting out two words that would signal the beginning of his long and drawn out battle with his eternal foe,
"MORTAL KOMBAT"
And the ensuing battle would go down in the history books as the greatest fight between man and paper.
extra
"Luke Unova, what is your goal in life?"
said boy proceeded to stand up before clearing his throat.
and he suddenly had a microphone in his hand. And...is that a guitar in the background?
Naruto then facepalmed. "This is going to suck..." he muttered.
"I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST, LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS!"
Iruka had to question his life choice of taking this class in particular. As well as everybody else.
"TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST! TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUUUUUSE!"
Naruto was now slamming his head against the desk multiple times.
"I WILL TRAVEL ACROSS THE LAND, SEARCHING FAR AND WIDE!"
Iruka was now finalizing a note for Luke to take to the psych ward.
"THE POKEMON TO UNDERSTAND, THE POWER THAT'S INSIIIIIIIIIDE-"
His singing was stopped by Athena, who knocked him unconscious with a confusion.
"I think we can all agree that his goal is to be the very best that ever was correct?"
Iruka nodded.
"yes, good call there too"
"eh, its just something I usually do." she shrugged.
cue mass facepalm.
