The brown haired kid is a civilian I assume from his ordinary hair colour and eyes. I just can't get his name though. He just clams up and looks at his feet."Begin!"

Oh right, sparring lessons. I'll just can't bring myself to punch him. He didn't think as I did and rushes me head on, knocking me with his body. I let his attacks continue to rain on me because... they aren't causing any damage at all...

His initial bumping into me caused a meagre -5HP and other than that he is harmless. Up close I can see he is built like a stick, thin and fragile. After flicking his forehead, I test out the simplest genjutsu I know which drops him into an ideal dream world and he isn't getting up.

A minute passes... Yup he's definitely a civilian.

After our 'spar' ended I release the genjutsu and he wakes up. He looks absolutely bamboozled. Explaining what just happened, he just nods at his head in affirmation.

"So what's your name?" I begin trying to calm my twitching face muscles. My face muscles always tense up whenever beginning a conversation with a stranger.

He opens his mouth to speak but all I hear is inaudible whispers.

"I can't hear you", I say trying to get him to repeat whatever he said out loud.

"Akira...Hansuke...," he finally mumbles at acceptable sound levels. I'm just trying to figure out how to break the ice next.

After a long pause," Akira meaning clear and intelligent", he explains his name when I don't respond. After a while, I realise this was the social cue for me to introduce myself. Hey! I'm improving my social awareness already!

"My name's Hitoshi Sable, nice to meet you Akira," I can't believe it! I RECOGNISED A SOCIAL CUE! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I feel a bit silly for being so hyped over this. Oh oh, Akira has the weirded out look on his face. WHAT DID I DO WRONG!?

"On a first name basis already? How sweet," a snarky looking fellow remarks whilst his buddies chuckle. His tone of voice is clearly not friendly. So he's the bully for this class. Every class has at least one bully according to experience in my old world.

Oh lucky him. If we weren't assigned partners, I would be sure to 'accidentally' snap his neck during practice.

"Hey class rep, you sure you should be getting friendly with this guy? I heard he won in the tournament by cheating and using cheap tactics," one of the lackies says to Akira.

Woah Akira's the class rep! This shy little guy is the class rep. In my world, class reps were godlike beings made of 100 marks and gold medals. But I can't imagine him beating anyone in sports. He's even shorter and thinner than me!

While lost in my self monologue, the bully from earlier had intruded into my comfort bubble. "You don't look so tough".

Tough enough to beat Sasuke at least. Man I should've said that out loud! That was so cool!

" Hey are you deaf or something? AHAHAHA... Hey answer us you deaf piece of shit!"

Maybe I should do my new jutsu or I could just beat them up old fashioned way.

"Hey come on guys he's creeping me out lets get out of here"

So many lovely ways to take them down! MWAHAHAHA!

"Alright guys lets just leave this insane kid"

"Umm Sable-san? The bullies have left now"... wait... What? Hey! They disappeared! "Ah man I had a new jutsu to try out too!"

"Sable-san you're surprisingly airheaded you know..."

"Really? I think of myself as quite focused," and our conversation seemed to keep itself a flame till the next class began.

Genjutsu training is next, the most brain wracking thing in the universe. My aptitude for it is near zero. Even dad gave up on training me in genjutsu and I had to continue by myself. In fact Akira was my first successful attempt at genjutsu. I tried it previously with a clone and he just wouldn't go to sleep.

This day couldn't possibly pass any slower even if it tried.

Studying in the academy again instead of with my dad, I see a lot of advantages it can provide. Friends, team exercises (a.k.a recess), prejudiced people to beat up and free stuff like kunai, shuriken and sealing scrolls.However I have to deal with genjutsu which I'm crap at, boring maths which I already drilled into my head two decades ago and not to mention prejudiced pricks who jeer at me and try to trip me up at any given moment.

I constantly find shuriken inside my crappy school lunch, graffitied insults on the table where I usually sit and the occasional punk with enough balls to face me himself. All said punks mysteriously appear in the school infirmary with head injuries and no knowledge of how they got there.

Besides that I've been a good boy. Getting to class on time, being friendly to two of my classmates (two is a new record), throwing away my trash, finishing ridiculous math assignments and aceing my tests.

Oh and I noticed my reputation meter actually increased by 1.5% after making new friends. Brilliant! Looks like my reputation can't get worse if they don't remember what happened.

Today has been quiet so far, no one has been causing problems... yet. It's the calm before the storm for sure. A few kids are smiling a bit too much for it to be anything good. Luckily I left a water clone in my stead. I'll be observing what happens to the clone from afar (in a tree outside my class window).

Suddenly my clone is hit by several wet paper balls and a dictionary smacks it over the head, returning it to water and splashing everyone in the vicinity. Oh darn poor Naruto caught most of the shower.

The couple front rows are pretty frazzled and mad while the bullies are equally mad that it wasn't the real me they got with the projectiles. Naruto looks stunned but starts laughing at the whole spectacle. I'm honestly surprised that he didn't fly into a rage and unleash the Kyubi on my ass.
