Majin Shen
Chapter 2: The New Guy
Summary: Shen is going to his first day at Konoha's academy, and he's not really hyped-up to re-learn the basics that he's already learned in his old academy.
Shen awoke in his apartment that the Hokage has given him and got ready for his first day of Konoha's academy, and he wasn't happy about it. "Arrgh. The academy, their probably going to say all the basic and crap like that. The only things that interests me is the history and landscape, hopefully they will cover this today." Shen said after washing his face and looking into the mirror.
Shen ate breakfast and got dressed in a black leather zipped-up jacket without zipping it up, on the back of the jacket it had the Kanji 'power' on the top and beneath it was a design of a inferno. Underneath the jacket was a white shirt with a dragon on the front and on the back had 'Fear me" written big on the back in Kanji. He put on brownish greyish long pants and ninja combat boots and left his home for the academy.
Shen walked down the road of the village and looked at the life that everyone here lived, they lived peaceful lives, a life that Shen didn't really enjoyed. Shen wanted to live by fighting strong opponents and pushing his limits to greater levels, he found that peaceful was another word to him: Boring.
As Shen continued he saw the academy and the faces that was over them, the faces of the Hokages. "Sigh Time for the academy. I wonder what types of people is in here?" Shen asked to no one.
Shen had arrived early before everyone one else to get acquainted with the teachers that he was assigned to. He went to the room of the teachers Iruka and Mizuki, and he entered the room.
"Who's is that? Class doesn't start until an hour from now." said Mizuki.
"Sorry to disturb you, but I am Shen Hashigane. A new student." introduced Shen.
"Ah yes, I heard Lord Hokage said will be having a new student. I am Iruka, your teacher." Iruka introduced.
"And I'm Mizuki, another teacher, nice to meet you." Mizuki introduced.
Shen stayed asking questions to the two teachers until academy began. All the students took their seats and Shen stood in front of the class.
"Class! This is Shen Hashigane. He is a new student who has recently moved to Konoha, I expect you treat him with respect as a fellow student." Iruka said and Shen took a seat in the back.
Iruka then began the class by yammering about mathematics involving shurikens and hitting the target. Shen wasn't really paying attention because he already knew the answer because he remembered the mathematics from Mist and quickly answered it mentally.
Shen's attention then drifted to the rest of the class, he saw most of the girls in the class swooning over a boy. He also saw a boy that was sleeping, a boy eating chips behind a book, a boy in a trench coat with dark glasses, a boy who kind of looked like a dog, a girl with pale eyes and boy with yellow hair and was in orange.
"Orange? What kind of ninja wears orange?" Shen asked himself as Iruka noticed he wasn't paying attention.
"Does anyone now the answer? Shen, why don't you explain?" Iruka said trying to make Shen pay for not paying attention, but Shen explained the answer in great detail!
"Uh...that is correct, now moving on." Iruka said impressed and surprised at Shen's knowledge.
Everyone else was surprised too, they didn't expect for a new kid to answer like that! But the girl that was swooning over the boy quickly got over it and went back to swooning.
Iruka then went into history and Shen immediately turn all of his attention to the lesson as Iruka taught about Konoha's history. Shen learned a lot about Konoha from the lesson, he learned about the First Hokage and the birth of Konoha and among other things.
After the lesson, it was time for an exercise. The class had move to a river with a tightrope going across it, "Okay, the exercise is to cross the river on this tightrope, it trains your concentration and balance." Iruka explained.
Shen found the exercise boring so he waited for everyone else to go before him. Some students succeed, while some failed. The boy who was being swooned by the girls got across with little problems, but not that fast. (You decided who makes it and who doesn't)
Shen was sitting in a tree while another boy was sitting beneath him, who also found this exercise 'troublesome,' "You find this exercise boring?" Shen asked.
"It's too troublesome, don't know why do this." said the lazy boy. "By the way, my name is Shikamaru."
"Nice to meet you, ya probably know my name." Shen said.
"Yeah, I do. So why do you find this boring?" Shikamaru asked.
"It's not worth my time." Shen simply said as he was called by Iruka.
"Have fun." Shikamaru joked.
Shen got to the tightrope and started walking across it perfectly! Everyone was shocked as Shen walked to the other side and back without any trouble at all! After that Shen returned to his spot in the tree while everyone else finished the exercise.
When everyone was done, they headed back to the academy and it was time for lunch, "Nice day for a nap." Shen said as he found a bench to lay on. As he laid there, Shikamaru and the boy who was eating chips in class passed by.
"Hey new guy." said the boy with chips "Aren't you going to eat?"
"Nah, I'm not hungry. I rather just take a nap." answered Shen.
"You can't make friends if you sleep! If you're like Shikamaru here, you could just sleep in class! By the way I'm Choji." Choji introduced himself.
"Okay, you win. I guess I'll sleep somewhere else. But anyhow, nice to meet you Choji." Shen said as he got off the bench.
"Same here. Now let's get something to eat, I'm starved." Choji said as the group headed off for the lunchroom.
When let got to the room, Choji ran off into line while Shikamaru and Shen found a seat, "Hey Shikamaru, can you tell who's who in here?" Shen asked
"Ah alright, the guy who looks like a dog is Kiba, the guy in the trench coat is Shino, the girl with white eyes is Hinata, those two girls are Sakura and Ino, and the guy that their swooning over is Sasuke, and the guy orange is Naruto. If you want to know more about them find out yourself." Shikamaru said as he started to doze off.
Choji then came with his food and sat beside Shikamaru and ate away, "So...uh Choji, what normally happens around here?" Shen asked and Choji explained while eating.
Shen couldn't understand a word Choji said, "Swallow your food before you choke!" Shen shouted and Choji did that and re-explained.
After Choji was done talking he went back to eating, "Whatever then, I'll be around." Shen said as he got out of his seat and left the lunchroom. As he walked he found a bush with a bug in it and allowed it to climb onto his hand. As it walked over his hand, Shen observed the bug as it crawled on his hand.
"So you like bugs?" asked a monotone voice from behind, Shen turn his head calmly and saw Shino.
"Well, I guess you can say that. You're Shino, right?" Shen asked
"That is correct. I am Shino Aburame. I didn't think you're a bug person." Shino said.
"Well, I just like to study bugs by observing them, I like to observe things when there nothing to do." Shen explained
"Still there's not that many people that I know of besides my clan that observe bugs like you." Shino said.
"There is many thing that I observe, bugs are just one of them. Observing can show a lot about one behavior and give results for the one who observes." Shen explained as he put back the bug.
"I'll see you some other time Shino." Shen said as he left the bug genin.
Shen started walking around the academy and found a bench, "A bench, I can finally take a nap." Shen said as he laid on the bench and soon enough he fell asleep.
Twenty minutes passed and no one walked by Shen, and he was enjoying his sleep but it was disturbed when Kiba came by, "Hey new guy! What are you doing by yourself?" Kiba asked and Shen woke up in a daze.
"I was having a good nap...that's why I'm by myself." Shen explained as he sat up.
"Oh sorry, well anyway my name is Kiba Inuzuka!" Kiba said proudly.
"Uh okay...if you listen to Iruka-sensei, My name is Shen Hashigane." Shen said sleepily.
"I know, I know! I just wanted to welcome you to the academy." Kiba said.
"Well thanks, I was getting to know some of the people around here. It's nice to meet you." Shen said and Kiba said the same thing, well about saying nice to meet you and Kiba walked off and Shen laid back down.
But Shen couldn't go back sleep, because the bell had rung and they had to go back to class. This time the lesson was taijutsu training, just one-on-one sparing.
A few spars happen and nothing really special, until Iruka said "Okay, the next spar is between Sasuke Uchiha and Shen Hashigane!" Sasuke looked like he didn't care as he walked to the training field and Shen walked onto the field with a board look.
"Okay then, begin!" Iruka said and Sasuke got into a fighting stance while Shen just stood there. "What are you afraid of me?" Sasuke said as his fan girls cheered him on.
"No, I'm just thinking how to beat you." Shen said and received screams from Sasuke's fan girls about taking it back!
Sasuke took advantage of the distraction and nail Shen in the head with a kick and Shen was completely unfazed! Then Sasuke planted his foot into Shen chest and left a dirty footprint on his shirt. Shen looked at the footprint on his shirt and started dusting if off.
"Is that all? Do try again, and this time hit me with all of your strength." Shen said as he got ready and Sasuke charged again.
This time however, Shen dodge the hit without problem as Sasuke went over head with the missed punch and he did a round house kick with his left leg but Shen grabbed it and pushed Sasuke off balance and shoved his palm into Sasuke's back with little force, he didn't want to kill him on his first day!
Sasuke felt the impact of the blow to his back and it wasn't very strong and he smirked, "Is that all?" Sasuke said in a mocking tone "After all that tough talk that's all you got?" Sasuke said but to his and everyone's surprise Shen disappeared right after Sasuke finished his sentence!
Sasuke looked around for Shen, but Shen appeared behind him with his back to Sasuke and his right hand coming at Sasuke in a backhand motion and nailed Sasuke in the face as he turned around and he skid back!
"Don't you dare mock me." Shen said in a serious voice as he tried to contain his anger and power, and his eyes turn to Buu's eyes as he looked at Sasuke from the corner of his right eye, he could have hit Sasuke so hard he could have crashed through the wall and more! Sasuke could feel the killing intent coming off of Shen and was cursing himself for mocking Shen.
But luckily for Sasuke, Iruka called the match of after sensing Shen's killing intent and declare the match a draw, neither one had a problem with the decision. Sasuke went to the spot where he was before and Shen went into a tree, his eyes returned to normal.
"That was close, I almost use too much power. I can't draw attention this early.." Shen thought as the sparring ended and the academy was over for today, but he couldn't relax, because Sasuke's fan girls was screaming at him for making their Sasuke look bad and saying that Sasuke wasn't at his best today. Sasuke took advantage of situation and ran before his fan girls notice he was gone!
Shen tried to block out the screaming but it didn't help as the screams kept coming and for some reason getting louder! The screams were so loud, that Shen had to cover his ears, and he was getting pissed off.
Then, Shen couldn't take it anymore! "SHUT UP!!!!" Shen yelled at the top of his lungs and it created a shockwave (because Buu actually broke dimension with his voice and sent people flying just by screaming!) that surprised everyone and then Shen jumped off the tree branch and cause it to break because of the force used to jump off!
Shen jumped into the forest and stomped into the forest to find a spot to blow off steam...literally! Shen found a secluded spot and six holes appeared on his neck, three on each side, then steam began to shoot out of the holes covering the spot with a veil of white steam!
Shen cooled down after blowing a fairly big amount of steam and headed back to town, but avoided Sasuke's fan girls, just incase they didn't learn their lesson, he didn't know how anyone could survive that torment.
Shen had decided to take a walk throughout the town and find a place to relax.
As he walked he saw Shikamaru and Choji in the park, Choji was eating a bag of chips while Shikamaru was sitting with a Shogi board ready to play.
"Hey there Shikamaru, Choji." Shen said and waved.
"Oh, hey Shen." Shikamaru said lazily and Choji waved back.
"Mind if I play Shogi with you?" Shen asked.
"Sure thing." Shikamaru said and the two began playing.
A few hours pass and Shikamaru was winning, "You're petty good." Shen compliment his opponent.
"You're not too bad yourself." Shikamaru said as he did the winning move.
"It's surprising that you sleep in class with your smarts." Shen said.
"Class is too troublesome." Shikamaru explained simply.
"I have to agree with you on that. Heh heh." Shen agreed and got up, "Okay I'll see you guys later." Shen said as he walked off waving his hand and Shikamaru and Choji waved back.
After leaving the park he wandered the road he came across the Hyuga compound!
"So this is the Hyuga residence? I heard about these guys waaaaay back then in my clan." Shen said to no one.
"Really? And what do you belong to?" asked a voice from behind him.
Shen turned to see Hiashi Hyuga himself!
"I come from the Hashigane clan." Shen answered.
"Hashigane? It rare to see a Hashigane in these parts, let alone a ninja." Hiashi said.
"I'm not like most of my clan. I didn't like the life of a wanderer of the lands." Shen explained.
"I see, it's nice to have a Hashigane within Konoha." Hiashi said and Shen nodded.
"I'll see you whenever Lord Hiashi." Shen said and left the head of the Hyuga.
"Another person who likes my strength. Eh, I could care less. I don't what they have in store for me, as long as it's not boring." Shen said as he walked down the road with his eyes close.
But that wasn't a smart idea, because he ran into someone! "S-s-sorry." said the girl that Shen walked into.
"No, it's my fault. I wasn't watching where I was going." Shen said as he noticed that the girl was Hinata.
"So your Hinata Hyuga?" Shen asked as he reached out his right hand to pull up Hinata.
"Y-yes, I am." Hinata said as she sat there.
"Don't you want to get up?" Shen asked still has his hand out.
Hinata blushed and grabbed Shen's hand and he pulled her up. "Are you okay?" Shen asked and Hinata nodded.
"Good, I wouldn't want your father killing me for hurting you." Shen said while rubbing his head.
"Y-you don't need to w-worry." Hinata assured "I-I'll see you tomorrow." Hinata said and left.
"Hm, it's getting late. I should head back." Shen said to himself and went back to his apartment.
When Shen got to his apartment he walked to the bathroom and saw his old sword hanging in the living room, "How long has it been since I used you?" Shen asked his sword, of course the sword didn't respond. "Heh heh, what the hell was I thinking? Talking to a sword, I need to acquainted with more people tomorrow." Shen said to himself while chuckling and got refreshed and when on the balcony of his apartment.
On his balcony, Shen felt the night wind flowing through Konoha, "The wind is nice here, I'll enjoy life here...Or maybe not." Shen said as he thought about how crappy his life would be if there was no one good enough to fight!
A/N: Okay just to set some thing straight, Shen is a year younger than my other fics, so he is eleven years old now and twelve years like everyone else when they become genin. And teh next chapter will take place a year later few months before the graduation. Shen is likely to become 1# rookie of the year, and he and Sasuke have a rematch to decided who is best at taijutsu. Also Shen remembers what happen during his life in Konoha, and how he got acquainted with the hyper-activative ninja.
