Chapter 3: Her graduation
Time skip to Academy Graduation test
Mito stood at a proud five foot two three inches, her vibrant red hair grew to mid back, she wore an outfit very similar of her mothers when she was a genin. Her outfit consisted of a dark tan kimono style blouse held closed with a black obi and a skirt the same color of her blouse reaching down to her knees, underneath her shirt was a long sleeved mesh shirt, she had mesh tights underneath her skirt. She was also a proud B-cup. The rest of the class stood at a similar height. Almost everyone kept the same style they started with in the academy. Hinata still wore her baggy mocha colored hoodie, Kiba still had his dark gray hoodie but he also had a dog on top of his head. This dog was Akamaru Kiba's ninken as most of his families techniques required a ninken to be effective. The dog was small and had white fur as it was still a puppy. Ino and Sakura were both underweight like most of the other kunoichi in the class as they believed that their prince charming Sasuke Uchiha wanted a girl who wasn't fat. Their diet ended up harming them rather than helping them as they were underdeveloped and had little energy.
The class was mostly the same as when they started, Mito had warmed up to only three people, Sasuke was a complete bastard to everyone as he believed himself to be above everyone, and Hinata had gotten over her stuttering with a lot of help from Mito. Mito, Kiba, and Hinata sat by themselves as usual in silence like most other days though Mito wasn't focusing on the current area around her as she was remembering the strange events of this morning.
Flashback
Mito had started her track to the academy, as she began she noticed a spike of chakra, she shifted her eyes around looking for the source, she did not see anyone or notice any movement so she carried on though keeping her guard up and ready to attack at any given moment.
Mito arrived at the academy early as usual, she didn't see anyone around so she let down her mask for a moment to release her nervousness, despite her training she still got nervous for events like this. She noticed another chakra spike and promptly launched a kunai she unsealed from her glove to the tree. She held her guard up before a squirrel ran down the tree, she visibly relaxed and continued inside.
Mito never noticed but a woman in a genjutsu reappeared on top of the roof. This woman was Kurenai Yuhi, she had red eyes reminiscent of the sharingan and spiky long black hair, her attire consisted of a kunoichi battle dress looking much like bandages with one sleeve being completely red, the other side completely sleeveless. "That was impressive not many academy students could notice a chakra spike like that even if it was a low level one." Kurenai said to herself, before remembering yesterday's talk with the Sandaime.
Flashback within Flashback
Kurenai was currently alone in the Sandaime's office with him looking out the window, seeing the village while smoking a pike and periodically letting out smoke.
"Hokage-sama you asked to speak with me?" Kurenai asked in a respectful tone to her village's leader.
"Yes, yes I did Yuhi-san, I wish for you to take a specific genin hopeful, her name is Mito Uzumaki, she's truly a spectacular child, despite everything she's been through she still moves forward." The Hokage said in a tired voice. Kurenai knew of the child but didn't know her personally.
"Why? Hokage-sama" Kurenai asked.
The Sandaime turned around and lowered himself to his knees going into a begging position,"Kurenai I am begging of you to take Mito and whoever else you choose as I believe you'll be the best teacher for you, she if the village could look past their hate would be considered a prodigy among prodigies yet is still one who believes in hard work." The leader of the village pleaded.
Kurenai was shocked by this action as she knew the Sandaime didn't have to be, he could have just ordered her to take Mito under her wing but yet here he was asking, begging her to train the child.
Kurenai contemplated it before speaking,"Sandaime-sama I wish to see her in action before making any promises."
"That's all I can ask Yuhi-san." The Sandaime said getting off his old knees.
End both flashbacks
Iruka walked into the classroom with Mizuki behind him, he silenced the class using what the students had dubbed as the Big Head jutsu. He then cleared his throat before speaking,"Today you all will be taking the academy graduation test, this test consists of several parts, firstly a written exam, afterward will be a kunai and shurriken accuracy test, following that will be a genjutsu detection exam, next will be a taijutsu match, and lastly will be ninjutsu examination." Iruka paused to catch his breath. "Mizuki will now pass out the written examination." Iruka said motioning Mizuki to hand out the exam papers.
After Mizuki passed out the papers Iruka told the students to start, Mito though looked up noticing another chakra spike coming from one of the windows in the room,"i must be going crazy that's the third time I felt a chakra spike and no one is there." Mito thought to herself before returning to her exam.
Kurenai breathed a sigh of relief as Mito returned to her exam, Kurenai had just released the genjutsu placed on Mito's exam, Kurenai's opinion of the academy was quickly deteriorating every moment she was there, first were the fan girls and she shuddered at the thought that all but two kunoichi were fan girls in this class. Next was their worship of the Uchiha and said Uchiha's attitude. Finally was the attempted sabotage of a genin hopeful's test by a teacher.
Mito finished her last question with ten minutes to spare, she breathed a sigh of relief before going back over her answers with the remaining time. The question she spent the most time on though was the creation of the hidden villages. She wrote multiple papers on how her clan's homeland Uzushiogakure was the first to create the hidden village system and helped konoha start their own even giving them the idea of a Kage as a leader.
Iruka signaled the end of the test and collected the papers noticing that Mito's held the most pages, he smiled at that, the girl was truly a joy to teach as she was one of the few who actually listened to Iruka's lectures on history and everything else, it also helped that she picked up all the lessons easily. The class sat in silence as Iruka graded the tests. After Iruka finished grading, he took the class outside to the target range, he then made the class line up in a single file line in alphabetical order by last name.
The civilians hit a max of five for each of the tools, Sakura did worse hitting only four and five for kunai and shurriken respectively. Hinata hit seven and seven, Kiba six and six, Sasuke nine and eight, Shino, Shikamaru, and Chouji all hit seven and six, Mito held back hitting eight and eight.
The class was brought back into the classroom and was unknowingly placed into a genjutsu making the classroom seem like normal except that the teachers were not in there. The first to break out was Mito, following her was Hinata, then Kiba noticing that there was still the teachers smell in the room and broke it. The rest of the clan heirs soon followed. Kurenai was less than impressed that the academy only taught them to break out of a very low level genjutsu. The academy civilians had to be woken up by the teacher's themselves after a period of ten minutes.
Iruka shook his head in disappointment by the civilians before taking the class out to the very familiar fighting ring. The first to be called was Sakura and Hinata, Hinata wiped the floor with Sakura as Taijutsu was easily one of her highest abilities while it was Sakura's worst. Iruka let out a sigh of disappointment and looked toward Mizuki who only shrugged. The next two to be called were Mito and Kiba, Kiba grinned at fighting Mito, while Mito let a small smirk appear on her face. The two fighters got into the ring and prepared to strike. Kiba charged first with wild animal like strikes, Mito dodged and weaved through the attacks swirling around her opponent much like a whirlpool. She landed swift and fast strikes while Kiba kept up his clan's animal like style determined to try and land at least one punch on the Uzumaki heiress, just as he was about to she ducked before landing a spinning kick knocking Kiba out of the arena. Iruka called the match as Mito went over helped Kiba up. The two walked back over to the back of the crowd before Mito spoke to him," Good match Kiba, you did much better than last time." she said with a small smile. Kiba grinned while his face held a blush from getting praise by the girl he secretly liked.
The following matches were quite dull as the civilian students didn't have any special Taijutsu style other than the academy's. Then finally the next semi exciting match was between Chouji and Shino. Chouji despite being quite large held a lot of power in his attacks, though Shino was much smaller in weight and quite faster. The match ended in a tie due to both contestant's stamina wearing out. The next two to fight were Ino and a civilian born. The match if it could be called that ended with Ino winning due to her slightly higher stamina than the civilian. The last match was between Sasuke and Shikamaru. That match didn't give anyone any surprises as Shikamaru gave up halfway through it much to Sasuke's ire.
The class was once more brought back into the classroom, the students were told to sit down and wait they're turn, the order was alphabetically backwards by last name. Ino was the first to go and she came out with a headband with Konoha's leaf symbol on it. The next to go was Mito she walked past the door taking a deep breath to get ready for the test. Once she was inside, Iruka, Mizuki, and another female chunin were sitting at a table.
"For the first part please perform the Henge no jutsu." Iruka stated
Mito performed the hand seal chain of dog, boar, ram and silently turned into an exact copy of Iruka down to the tiniest detail. Iruka and the other judges looked the transformation technique up and down trying to spot any flaw not seeing any they passed that portion of the test with one hundred percent.
"now perform the substitution technique please." Iruka said. Mito nodded , silently and seal less she substituted with a wooden chair.
"Very good." Iruka said much to the other judges anger.
"finally perform a clone technique please." Iruka told the genin hopeful.
Mito did a small seal chain before whispering raiton: Kage bunshin no jutsu. Four clones appeared from the smoke. Iruka nodded in approval while Mizuki spoke up. "We asked you to perform the clone technique not an elemental version." he stated trying to find reason to fail her.
Mito looked at him as if he was stupid before making thirty regular bunshins, the teacher's were stupefied at the feat even if the genin had a lot of chakra the three chunin never expected an academy graduate to be able to create thirty regular clones.
Iruka was the first to break out of the stupor," Very good, Mito. Congratulations you pass come take a headband. Mito quickly walked over to the table with the headbands on it, she picked up one with a navy blue cloth around it. She tied it around her head having her bangs frame it. Mito then proudly walked out of the examination room with a small smirk on her face. As soon as she walked out Hinata and Kiba rushed over to her asking if she passed, she let out a small smile and tapped her headband.
"I knew you would pass Mito-chan," Hinata started ,"Did the teachers give you any trouble?" The still somewhat shy girl asked.
"yeah, Mizuki tried to fail me when I made an elemental bunshin instead of the illusion type one, but then I made thirty regular bunshins." Mito said
Kiba laughed at that bit," he must have had a really stupid look on his face then didn't he?" He said placing an arm around the Uzumaki heiress' shoulder not noticing the girl's blush. She knocked his arm off trying to get her blush under control. These actions weren't unnoticed by Hinata who smiled inwardly at Mito and Kiba's antics, knowing the two liked each other more than friends. Kurenai who was still hidden by her genjutsu smiled at the three kids interaction and knowing who she was going to get for her team.
The rest of the class passed even the civilians. Hinata had her forehead protector wrapped around her neck while Kiba displayed his on his head like most others. Shikamaru wrapped his around his arm and Ino had hers around her waist tied like a belt.
Iruka walked back into the classroom after the last examination with a large smile on his face."Congratulations to all of you. You have graduated the academy and are now genin, remember though there is a lot more hard work before you and this is only the beginning, all of you have made me proud to be called your teacher." Iruka said with enthusiasm. The class all had smiles on their faces from their teacher's praise. "In one week you all will be back here once more to find out who you're team is." Iruka told the class.
Later that day
Inside the hokage's office were ten jounin and multiple chunins all lined up these ten are the leaders of the ten teams of the academy.
"now" the hokage began, "is there any requests for who you want on your team?" Hiruzen asked.
The first to speak up was a man with the konoha protector over his eye, he also had gravity defying silver hair and was carrying a little orange book.
"Hokage-sama I wish to have Sasuke Uchiha and Mito Uzumaki and my team." the man said not looking up from his book.
Kurenai choose then and there to speak up, "Hokage-sama with all do respect I believe Mito would do better on my team along with Hinata Hyuga and Kiba Inuzuka, rather than on Kakashi's team with the Uchiha."
"And why is that Kurenai?" The newly named Kakashi asked not wanting to give up his sensei's daughter.
"simple from what I have observed at the academy the Uchiha believes himself to be above everyone else and the rest of the class all hates or doesn't even acknowledge Mito. If she was placed on any other team most of the time would most likely be spent getting them to try and work together." Kurenai explained while the Sandaime was holding back a great smile.
"then who do you propose for my team then?" Kakashi asked knowing Kurenai was correct in her judgment.
"You would probably have the most success with Haruno as she had high book smarts and could be trained as a medic or genjutsu user, also with Shino Aburame as he makes logical decisions like most of the rest of his clan something that even Sasuke could accept even sympathize with." Kurenai explained while everyone looked at her as if she had all the answers.
She paused before deciding to add a few more details,"From what I have observed if Sandaime-sama's law was enforced then almost all the children in the academy would be orphans." The whole room was shocked before a newly instated chunin decided to speak up,"What do you mean I know that no one calls her that beast's name!" he exclaimed.
"They may not call her that but they do everything to skirt around the law, I watched walk through the village this morning and she was glared at by almost all the civilians, any civilian with children whispered to stay away from the demon child teaching their children to hate Mito for absolutely no reason. Even today one of the chunin teacher's tried to sabotage her test and later try to fail her for an elemental bunshin instead of an illusion based bunshin." Kurenai spoke with distaste for the academy and village. The other ninja in the room all became quiet after that knowing that no teacher no matter what should sabotage any child's test even if the child was the village jinchuriki.
"Well said Yuhi-san, are there any other requests." The Sandaime said with a kind smile.
"I would like the next generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho team." one Asuma Sarutobi said, with a lazy expression and smoking a cigarette. The meeting was soon let out afterward allowing everyone to go home and rest before meeting their new teams tomorrow.
End Chapter 3
Author's note
So I've dug myself into a little hole with the fuinjutsu situation when I wrote about Mito reading master level fuinjutsu, what I meant was that she was reading master theory on fuinjutsu, she hasn't experimented much with making or producing seals she decided to wait till the beginning of her genin career to do that. So all and all she would at most be considered high intermediate level fuinjutsu user. The levels of fuinjutsu go beginner, intermediate, advanced, then master. Also she has unlocked some abilities that I mentioned in the beginning but has not mastered them yet.
