(At the Academy)
All the kids were being sent off to their first day at the academy by their parents with exceptions to Hyuuga Hinata and Uchiha Sasuke who were escorted by their clan members. Every parent were telling their children to pay attention to what their will be teaching them but all their words were in vain since most of the children were dreaming of what kind of heroes they will be becoming except Nara Shikamaru who was thinking how troublesome it all was, then entered Uzumaki Naruto surrounded by an Anbu unit. He wearing an burnt orange colored T-shirt with an attached face mask (kind of like what Kakashi wears), black Anbu pants, black shinobi sandals, an unzipped beige jacket with a hoodie covering his blonde hair which was hidden by a bandana while sporting green goggles hanging from his neck.
Upon his entry every adult looked like they were trying to bore holes into him but upon feeling a little KI emitted by his guards turned away and started warning their children to stay away from him with reasons ranging from he was a delinquent to he was so unstable that Anbu had to watch over him 24/7. The sudden change in atmosphere was all it took to intrigue the attention of kids such as Shikamaru, Hinata, Ino, Sakura and Sasuke. Shikamaru was trying to think of all the possibility why was the mysterious kid had become the target of adults hateful gaze, Hinata was trying to determine was he the one that saved her from those bullies once since he also had cerulean eyes and the adults saw him with hate, Ino was just simply intrigued, Sakura was intimidated by him. Sasuke wanted to find about the mysterious kid who needed the protection of an entire Anbu squad. What made it even more intriguing was that his brother was one of his guards and according to what his father told him about his brother's squad was that it was the strongest squad Konoha Anbu had to offer. He was wondering why a kid had to be escorted to the academy by the strongest Anbu unit available in Konoha.
After the parents went away all the new kids to the academy were gathered in a hall by the academy instructors, lined up waiting for the Hokage speech. After a while, Hiruzen came to give the ninja academy introductory speech. He stepped onto the stage, went toward the podium, upon reaching the podium he grabbed the mike and started - "Good Morning, young ones. My name is Sarutobi Hiruzen, Sandime Hokage of Konohagakure no sato. Today is a great day for Konoha for so many of you kids will be starting at the academy to become the spear and shield of Konoha. In ninja world we live by the rule: survival of the fittest. Even though there are so many of you right now, we will cut down your numbers drastically during your time in the academy till only the prepared youth may remain. We only want the best because many unprepared genins die on their first C-Rank mission and we don't want more blood on our hands since we didn't prepared them properly. So always give your 100% during your time in the academy or you will be dropped out. Always remember there is always room for improvement so as long as you don't limit yourself you will become great", with that Sarutobi ended his speech and all the children cheered after Hokage's speech.

"My name is Shiba Tatsuya and you will call me Shiba-sensei till the time I teach you. This will be your classroom for this year. This year all you will learn is Shinobi History, Chakra Theory, Basic Taijutsu, Unlock your Chakra and all the topics civilians learn. Give it your all and remember give it your all or get out and don't waste our time. Now start introducing yourselves", said the oldest academy instructor named Shiba Tatsuya. He was 73 years of age, dressed up in dark blue training Gi with a black sleeveless overcoat and all the scars and a missing hand was the proof of his ninja career.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. My dream is to one day surpass my elder brother and be a great ninja", spoke Sasuke after getting up first.
"
"
"
"My name is Haruno Sakura. My dream is to one day become an excellent ninja and become a strong person", said Sakura.
"

"
"My name is Nara Shikamaru. My dream is to become a jonin, marry a woman not too beautiful nor too ugly, have two children a boy and a girl and retire after my daughter is married and son found a stable job", said Shikamaru.
"Each and everyone have such high dreams shame most of them will not make a ninja. Most of them will go to the reserve corps and the only people who will even make to Jonin will be mostly clan kids, Haruno and the Jinchuriki. Thinking of the jinchuriki, he still hasn't introduced himself", thought Tatsuya. "You masked kid introduce yourself", ordered Tatsuya.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. My dream is none of your concern and I'm 11 years old orphan", said Naruto.
"Okay since now everybody knows each other let's start with today's first lesson: Chakra...

After the classes were over every kid was talking about how weird was Uzumaki Naruto was. How he was such an anti-social person and how their didn't bother even bother with him when he left in the middle of the class. He was an enigma to everyone but one thing they all learned was their sensei didn't give a damn if they want to learn or not.
"I still can't understand how the ninjas can be so blind let alone civilians. He has more potential than Itachi, Kakashi even Minato. Don't you agree Danzo", said Tatsuya.
"So you knew, huh?" asked Danzo.
"Of course, I knew. I didn't survive 3 great ninja wars and appointed as the ANBU commander for nothing", replied Tatsuya.
"Will you teach him something then?" asked Danzo.
"It will be like it always had been Danzo. If the kids wants to improve they have to learn everything on their own, in their free time or ask for help from experienced people. Because the academy basically teaches them nothing but theory, facts and patience. It is how Tobirama-sama and Madara-sama designed it to separate naturally talented youth in ninja ways from those who have to be babied along the way. Let me ask you something - why are you so worried, Danzo?" asked Tatsuya.
"War is coming, old friend. It will take time to come but there is something Hiruzen, Jiraya and I both agree on is that an emerging organization named Akatsuki will be the centre of it", said Danzo.
"How are you so sure?" asked Tatsuya.
"Akatsuki's leader recently eliminated Hanzo in a one-sided fight. They are currently recruiting members and I have confirmed 3 of them. Sasori of the red sands, Kakuzu of Takigakure and Hidan the Immortal. If their leader can recruit 3 S-class ninjas and make them work together efficiently then their goal will create a huge chaos among the ninja world", said Danzo.
"That may be true but it's your and Hiruzen's burden to deal with since I only have 2 years to live due to my medical condition", said Tatsuya.
"Well death is inevitable. If only Orochimaru could have accept that but please try to help us in any way possible if you will", said Danzo and with that he went away.
