Izumo and Kotetsu are relived Asuma had returned. Although it was nice to see the twins again the two shinobi have work to do and don't have time for babysitting.
"Hello there! I'm Asuma. You will be staying with me." Asuma greeted the twins while lighting a cigarette.
"It is nice to meet you Senpai. I'm Daishiro and this is my brother Makuroto." Daishiro replied.
"If i see smoke I will assume your on fire and will take necessary actions to put you out." Makuroto stated flatly.
"How old are you boys?" Asuma asks while putting out his cigarette.
"We are 7." the twins state simultaneously.
"Don't talk at the same time again it's weird. Since you are 7 you should be enrolled in the academy." Asuma said.
"What's the academy?" Daishiro asked as they started walking away from the gate.
"A school every child attends to become a ninja." Asuma answers.
"Asuma glad to see you made it back from your mission safely." Iruka stated as they approached.
"Good to see you again to Iruka. Has Lady Tsunade informed you of the new students?" asked Asuma gesturing toward the twins.
"Yes she has. I will escort them to class." Iruka replied.
The twins follow Iruka as Asuma stated that he would meet them later. Along the way...
"Oh how rude of me. I'm Iruka-sensei. I will be your teacher." Iruka informed the twins.
"I'm Daishiro and this is my twin Makuroto." Daishiro replied.
The twins followed Iruka to a room filled with their kids their age.
*Daishiro's Point of View*
As soon as we walked in the door the entire room went silent for a solid minute then everyone was asking questions at once.
"What's your name? Where are you from? How old are you?" everyone asked. There was a silence for a moment to see how we reacted.
"I'm Daishiro and this is my twin Makuroto. You don't need to know. We are 7." I answered. Makuroto slide behind me a little bit not enjoying the spotlight and he is a little shy.
"Are you blind?" someone said but I could not figure out who. I have never been asked that before and Iruka looked just as surprised. I began contemplating on if I wanted to say yes or not.
"No I am not blind, why do you ask?" I replied trying to figure out who asked.
"Your eyes look gray like a blind person." A kid wearing a blue scarf replied. Looks like he was the one to ask.
"Why don't you two take a seat." Iruka suggested. We took our seats toward the back next to a kid with brown hair, goggles, and a blue scarf (the kid who thought I was blind). Iruka-Sensei started the lesson while I was taking notes on the other kids. There was a girl with yellow-orangish hair in two buns on top of her head slightly behind me staring at scarf boy. My guess is she likes him and he doesn't know it. Then there was this boy with brown hair and glasses and in desperate need of a tissue. And a girl with black hair and pale eyes.
I looked at the board and paid attention for a minute to see what was going on and the topic was disguises which is simple. I decided to just sleep and let Makuroto pay attention for us both. After awhile I felt a nudge and woke up.
"We are moving outside for another lesson after lunch which we are to leave and come back." Scarf boy told me. He got up and left the classroom. I decided to follow him to learn more about him and maybe find food along the way. Makuroto and I were following from a distance undetected. Scarf boy stopped at some small store which turned out to be a ramen bar. He met some older kid wearing orange and had blonde hair asking about some jutsu. We decided to wander a little ways away and wander to the ramen shop to get food for ourselves.
"Naruto please teach me! I want to get stronger!" scarf boy was complaining.
"Sorry Konahamaru, I am still training too and don't have time to teach you. I gotta run. See you Konahamaru!" Naruto said leaving.
We ordered our food and ate our food when Konahamaru asked "Did you follow me here?"
"No we smelled food and saw you sitting here." I answered.
"Well we should be getting back to class." he replied. We followed him back and met our class outside.
"Alright class seeing as the graduation exam is in a week why don't we take some extra time to spar and practice." Iruka stated. "First I want Moegi and Hanabi to spar. Udon and Konahamaru, I want on target practice. Everyone else is to watch and pay attention to either taking notes on all mistakes."
I decided to watch the girls spar. Moegi the girl with yellow-orangish hair looked nervous while Hanabi the girl with black hair and pale eyes looked determined. The sparring was with taijutsu only which is hand-to-hand combat. Moegi had very slow movements while Hanabi had moved very quickly hitting quickly and froze to show the final blow that didn't hit. Konahamaru and Udon who had the glasses were throwing kunai and shurikens at targets and never hit a bullseye. As the class was drawing to a close Iruka announced a final sparring match between me and Konahamaru.
We faced each other and shook hands then got into battle stances. He came at me head on leaving his face unguarded. I pushed down on his fist as it came at me and flipped over him. He looked back at me with shock as his punch missed. While he was still stumbling from his momentum I came up behind him and froze with my final blow signaling he lost.
Iruka looked on with shock. He chose this match to get a feel for where our skills were. "Alright you two shake hands so we can call it a day." Iruka ordered.
"I refuse to shake hands with him. He didn't even attack me." Konahamaru complained.
"I didn't have to. You made a mistake and I took advantage of it." I replied tired of this situation already.
"I will not leave until we have a rematch." Konahamaru challenged.
"There's no point. You will not be any better and it's such a drag." I countered.
"Konahamaru you can challenge him tomorrow please we all want to go home." Moegi whined.
"Huh? Oh it is getting late. Fine then I want a rematch tomorrow." Konahamaru stated walking away without the handshake.
"Ok, Class dismissed." Iruka stated disappearing a cloud of smoke.
"Hello Daishiro, Makuroto." Asuma greeted us at the gate of the academy.
"Hello Asuma." I replied.
"How was your first day? Make any friends?" he asked.
"It was boring. This kid with a blue scarf wants to fight me again as a rematch." I answered.
"WHAT?!" Asuma almost yelled.
"Iruka wanted me to spar with him so I did and he lost." I replied casually.
"You sparred with Konahamaru?" Asuma asked.
"Yeah I think that was his name." I said getting bored of this conversation.
"You're not enemies are you?" he continues to question.
"I think it would be more like a rival but yeah." I sighed.
"Your rival is my nephew." Asuma stated.
"Better rivals than nemeses." I countered.
The rest of the walk home was quiet. Along the way I noticed fireworks in a shop window and thought back to the night we left and the explosion I accidentally caused. My daydream was interrupted when Asuma announced we were home.
Iruka appeared outside the Hokage's door and knocked.
"Come in." came Tsunade's voice.
"I came to report on Daishiro." Iruka started.
"Well...?" Tsunade led.
"He beat Konahamaru in a sparring match in under thirty seconds. He fell asleep this morning in class and appears to be a mix of Sauske and Shikamaru in the way of Sauske's swiftness and Shikamaru's laziness." Iruka reported.
"How did Konahamaru take the loss?" Tsunade asked.
"He is a lot like Naruto in that sense." Iruka answered.
"So the results were the same as the Sauske vs Naruto spar?" She questioned.
"Yes." Iruka sighed.
"Anything on Makuroto?" she continued.
"He was silent all day. I am going to test his levels tomorrow. I have a feeling they are very similar yet different." Iruka answered.
"I look forward to tomorrow's report." Tsunade stated ending the conversation.
"Understood." Iruka replied leaving in a cloud of smoke.
