Chapter 3

Three 9 year old's, have woken up around the same hour not wanting to miss on one of their most important days, many would ask what is so important today to wake up at 6 AM, and answer is simple today they will begin to take their first steps to become shinobi, first day of their academy.

Each one quickly tried to get ready without interrupting the others while blond who woke up first has gone to the shower red head searched for his clothes for this day, while boy with black hair was slowly waking up, and slowly scuttling to his drawer.

After every single one got their turn in shower and had put their clothes on.

They rushed down the stairs to eat breakfast while Aiko rolled her eyes, after eating some ramen, they got ready to walk to the Academy which they would attend for 3 years.

While on their way towards their goal, they met with Shikamaru, Choji and Kiba and decided to go together there and chat while on the way, Kiba, Naruto and Makoto were most

active in the conversation while Choji and Menma said something once in a while, and Shikamaru often remarked of this as troublesome.

After getting to the academy and to their classroom they sat near each other, while they tried to stay focused they really tried the small group of friends started to chat among themselves while making remarks about one of the teachers who was looking at Naruto with some malicious intent IE. Mizuki was looking at Naruto with those hateful eyes that he learned to ignore or to target people having those eyes for his next prank.

The 6 boys have agreed to be careful around Mizuki-Sensei while they hated to name him this way they didn't have much choice went back to chatting and listening to lectures.

Next subject was the training session which they decide to start with small spars between students, one of the most interesting fights was Naruto against Sasuke the first one still angry at the comment of the former.

*flashback*

Naruto, Makoto, Menma, Shikamaru, Choji and Kiba were eating their lunch and chatting among themselves about what to do after school and their training plans, when Sasuke Uchiha approached them and ignored everyone and addressed Makoto

"why are you sitting with those losers?" while saying that he didn't care about Makoto's shocked and angry expression "what would your parents think about what you are doing now? I bet they would be ashamed that Uchiha has stepped so low." this was enough for Naruto too beat this asshole senseless, but before he could do anything Menma put his hands on both shoulders of Naruto and Makuto.

"why are you so interested in him being with us? Don't you have enough followers? And it's not your business what Makoto-san is doing or with who is hanging out dear asshole"

*end of flashback*

like that Naruto was standing in front of Sasuke who looked at him indifferently,

he will make sure that this asshole will not look down on him, while Mitsuki was smirking what didn't go unnoticed by Naruto he didn't know if he wanted to thank him or kick him in the ball sack.

"Rules are simple no using Jutsu or any weapons like kunai's, first one to fall on his back loses, you start at 3."

the he started slowly counting down till he said GO!

Thinking that this would be quick he didn't pay to much attention to the blond and attacked him with one left hook which to his surprise was deflected and he felt some pain in his chest.

Naruto knowing that Sasuke would think he was beneath his notice used it to his advantage to snap his attention on him.

Naruto was slightly smaller then Sasuke but that didn't change his quick reflexes and flexibility, which greatly helped him to not only redirect his opponent's fist but also hit him hardly enough to push him back slightly but not enough to cause him to lose balance, HE WILL HUMILIATE HIM.

After second Sasuke realized what happened and got enraged not only did that loser punch him he was smirking at him.

Sasuke rushed towards Naruto to just beat him and show who is superior, while blond gracefully dodged every strike and countered with precise jabs aimed for many vital points that caused sharp pain like being stung by needles.

After a short while Naruto decided to end this with hard punch aimed at stomach.

While Sasuke was glaring at naruto that was slowly walking away towards Menma and others. Others were staring at the once filled space by blond who easily bested the Uchiha and looked only slightly winded in comparison to heavily panting Sasuke.

*After school*

"so where are going to eat at?" the question asked was presented by Menma, and eyes have lit up in Choji's and Naruto's eyes. "before you guys start arguing again this time it's Choji's turn to choose the place." with one sentence Shikamaru not only defused situation but deflated Naruto.

After that exchange they have honored the rules and did go to Yakiniku Q, the group saw older man they knew.

The man had dark short hair that was connected to short beard with hazel eyes with a smoke in his mouth. He wore standard shinobi attire with Hitae on his forehead and dark blue sweater under his shinobi vest.

"Asuma-sensei how are you!" he slowly turned to look at blond who was shouting his name with big grin "good what you kids are doing here?" this time plump boy responded "we came to eat here after school!"

"heh then why don't I pay for that?"

after a while getting a huge amount of food and getting rid of a lot of money Naruto asked

"hey Asuma-sensei how is it going with you and Jiji?" before Asuma said anything Menma wondered out loud "I sometimes wonder how are you not being experimented for not addressing Hokage-sama with respect"

"well, me and Hokage-sama as Menma kindly reminded us have somewhat neutral relationship, he is my father and leader so I don't have much choice then not taking the missions"

now Makoto perked up quickly said "can you tell us another story about your tiem in Shugonin Jūnishi?" after sighing and wondering why did this boy always asked this he started to recount on of the missions with the group.

*Meanwhile on some kind of island*

black haired man looking like 22 years was sitting on a pile of corpses that could be vaguely recognized as gigantic lizards with reinforced scales, he looked at his companion with his almost white eyes with 3 black tomoe.

"will you fight against that one long?" he asked the guy below him who looked like 21 years old with short hair while the guy fought against with a big cleaver like sword against shelled abomination of a turtle, while his sword looked like it was smelting from the heat of the jutsu on it the turtle proceeded to be unfazed with that "WOULD BE NICE IF YOU DIDN'T LEAVE THE FUCKING TURTLE FOR ME" shouted the man

"you know you need to learn how to deal with heat resistant enemies majo-kun" he quickly got his smaller katana's in stuck them right into the hole where it's head should be with extra force to make sure it will die.

After pulling them out he got sprayed by blood "you know even though you are a right hand for Mei-Sama you are biggest son of a bitch on earth Donikaryuu" while he looked at the man who wore FUCKING white kimono to extermination and he didn't even get it stained by blood but just because there was some mud, "well that is just how it is we still need some time for thing to settle some people still try to overthrow Mei-chan, and while I would love to kill them, I would be frankly to loud Majozen-kun" he addressed his underling who wore black shinobi vest and under it blue Shirt with black cargo pants.

"BTW. Weren't we meant to kill some giant octopus or something?" in that moment barbed tentacles started to attack them. The guy I kimono just shot his fist in general direction of 2 appendages making them disappear. "ye I thought I forgot about something exciting"

*Somewhere in lush jungle*

young man sat on top of crystallized pile of corpses that didn't remind of any creature alive,

he mused to himself "seems like mutations are spreading faster and faster I might need to get some help soon… did you find source of it?" three wolfs showed up out of nowhere and replied that they have found it.

"hmm I see, looks like it's big this time a bit later and I wouldn't been able to exterminate that" he jumped out of the crystal and slowly created deep whole beneath it.

"I can't let it spread from those corpses, so better safe then sorry" the long wild black hair with short beard of the same color were hiding his back, his green eyes turned to the hole and he touched the ground while letting his chakra to slowly go from his palm to abruptly crystal has erupted into small magma lake that burned all of the corpse tissue.

Then earth started to shake, he looked at the direction where the 'infection' has started, it was moving.

"so it's really big now big enough to think like animal and move somewhat, I really need to contact someone after this… you guys run it's not fight you can survive"

he got onto his hands and started to crystallize his hands while creating small magma orbs around him.

"Rupan Dansu: shoton purasu yoton: Kesshō ōkami: Kasei ame" his form became hazy and showed up right in front of the mass of flesh, with one swing of his crystal claws, he not only tore the beast into 5 parts but he set a fire to all of them.

Before landing he slowly started to sparkle with eletricity

"Rupan Dansu: shoton purasu yoton Soshite raiton: Kesshō ōkami: Bakuhatsu suru Kagayaku" in one second he was in air in other he disappeared and dozens of explosions littered the ground.

"this should be enough for now." he proceeded to go back to village letting rain slowly extinguish fires he made "maybe I should learn suiton to get rid of those fires, anyway I must go to konoha maybe they will be able to offer some kind of help against this thing"

the young man was slowly going to Kusa-gakure.
