Hey yall stalk here and damn im bad at this type of crap but anyways this is the first arc: academy and the first chapter of it. This is going to pretty much be me writing a bunch of character interactions and I'm nervous but i will do it as i need to get good at this shit and i need to do this so the story can move along and Takato can make friends and learn how to live life which will begin this chapter. Also, i just want to say real quick before you read this chapter please review damnit! i understand that sometimes you all don't want to write a review but come on it would be nice to know what i could add any other suggestions instead of me asking Reddit and begging for reviews isn't something I'm going to do even though it is disheartening having a lack of reviews I just want people to let me know if i didn't write as a 3rd grader would. I just want to write a decent fic that people will enjoy for years to come and without people letting me know things from a third perspective i have no idea how to actually improve without people leaving a review to tell me what I could've done better since they don't have the pride i do of the chapter. Anyways enough of that rant
Yet again thanks to my beta reader Anon2619 for making sure this wasn't a grammar catastrophe
Also thanks to the random person who reviewed this fic and said they were looking forward to more that really made my day
Disclaimer I don't own naruto if i did naruto would have learned a second element like Sasuke and Jiraiya would teach naruto more before and during the time skip
Chapter 2 academy 1 begin!
'Okay, most of these people aren't friendly,' I thought looking around me and seeing many people shoot glares at me, except a girl with purple hair, an Uchiha who I recognized as Itachi, an Inuzuka, a pineapple-haired kid who I recognized as Iruka Umino, and a few other people who I couldn't recognize as canon characters. (Although, after seeing Iruka and Itachi here, I guessed a few people were aged down at least a few years.) I thought nervously as I wasn't used to having this much attention, good or bad.
"Toji Mizuki vs Uchiha Takato," the instructor called out.
'Oh yeah, we were having taijutsu spars to see where we were in skill,' I thought. I stepped up to the ring and looking at Mizuki who had a devilish smirk that said 'I'm gonna beat your ass'.
'Oh, no way I'm losing to this fodder. If I'm losing, I'm going to lose to somebody who's strong, not somebody who got his ass beat by a genin'. I thought, now gaining confidence.
"Ok, do the seal of confrontation," said the instructor.
Mizuki and I did the seal of confrontation.
"You should give up before you get hurt," Mizuki said, in his annoying cocky voice.
"Why should I? I may be younger but I still trained two years longer than you." I said, settling into a bastardized version of the interceptor fist whilst Mizuki settled into the academy style that was a prerequisite for joining.
The chunin instructor lowered his hand "Begin!" he shouted.
'Okay Takato, keep your calm it's just Mizuki, he got beaten by Naruto whilst he was a chunin. I don't care that naruto had Shadow Clones, I have actual training, little it may be and the earth wall I can use if needed to defend myself, I thought staring down Mizuki.
Nobody moved for another few seconds.
I rushed towards Mizuki with a punch aimed at his face, Mizuki rotated his arm grabbing mine and kicking my ribs, but not letting go. With a grunt of pain, I occupied his other arm by grabbing it in return and kicked his stomach and swept his leg out, now aiming a punch to his solar plexus.
He recovered quickly enough and dodged my punch and retaliated with a punch of his own sending me flying.
"Told ya! You should have given up!" Mizuki said, now rushing at me, positioning an arm towards my lung.
"Stupid weight and height difference," I cursed under my breath, swallowing my own blood whilst everyone snickered at the way I flew across the ring almost sending me out of it. 'No way I lose to fodder!' I thought, now getting up and ducking one of Mizuki's hits and this time I kicked his inner thigh putting his leg in an awkward position.
I took advantage of his temporary predicament and rushed in, ducking one of his kicks and upper cutting his face and kicking his stomach, sending him flying up into the air making the other kids look on in awe. Hell, even Itachi looked stunned at that, but Mizuki managed to recover.
'The thrill of battle, the taste of my own blood, the holy shit I'm getting battle hungry,' I thought, after seeing Mizuki recover from the combo I landed on him but still, I was shocked, to say the least.
"OH COME ON!" I shouted, not happy he recovered.
"That punch was weak," he taunted, spitting out some blood and attacking with speed he didn't have before.
'Shit,' was all I could think before having to block a flurry of punches and kicks making my arms start to hurt.
But with a grunt of pain and exertion, I jumped up into the air channeling chakra to my legs making me able to jump higher 'gotta love perfect control'. Wait a minute, I have perfect control I can channel chakra to my fists as well as my legs,' I thought, in a eureka moment.
'What is he doing?' Mizuki thought seeing me jump into the air.
I channeled chakra to my fist making it stronger and aimed a punch at his stupid face.
Mizuki blocked the hit though, which while not breaking my arm definitely made it hurt... a lot.
But, before I could make any good benefit to my strike, Mizuki got up and kicked me... where no man should be kicked... with a chakra-enforced kick... which sent me flying out of the ring and into a wall and while I could have flipped and stuck to the wall I was to busy clutching my boyhood... although I noticed time seemed to slow down a bit for a second as well.
The chunin instructor, whilst cringing after seeing the kick to my boyhood, called out the winner. "Winner: Mizuki!"
The crowd was silent and I was looking up at the sky after landing on my back, no longer in pain.
"Wow, this is actually calming," I said aloud, although not many could hear me.
'Sadly, I lost to fodder but oh well there will be a next time and when there is I will kick the smug fucker in the face.' I thought, now making plans to train harder just so I could beat Mizuki's smug ass.
Now, trying to get up, I looked up and saw a few people looking at me, mainly the clan kids and the chunin instructor along with Iruka and Mizuki who had a smug grin on his face
"What are you all looking at? Is there something on my face?" I asked, after seeing everybody stare at me.
"No... you should take a look at your eyes," a certain raven-haired boy said.
I, realizing what this meant, looked into a very convenient water puddle nearby and whispered, "Sharingan." I saw my reflection and red eyes with 1 tomoe in them each.
'I awakened the sharingan by getting kicked in the balls,' I thought, whilst laughing aloud.
"Why are you laughing?" the Inuzuka girl asked.
I stopped laughing. "I awakened my clan dojutsu by getting kicked in the balls," I said, now red in the face from laughing so much.
The raven-haired boy looked at me. "Maybe you should stop channeling chakra to your eyes now," he said sounding... concerned. Although I couldn't really tell, as it was Itachi Uchiha after all.
I did take his suggestion and turned off my new eyes.
I then got up and dusted myself off and stood next to my class waiting for the next fight.
Iruka approached me "I'm sorry for what my friend Mizuki did," Iruka said apologizing.
I never got why people apologized for the actions of others. "You shouldn't really be apologizing for Mizuki, nobody should apologize for somebody else," I said.
"Still, he fought dirty to win so I want to apologize to my friend," Iruka said.
"It's no big deal that he fought dirty, we're training to become shinobi after all," I said putting on a big smile. "Besides I'm just going to beat him next time," I declared.
"He's right, Iruka, I fought dirty and won like a true shinobi, hell he would have done it too had he got the chance," Mizuki said, with a cocky grin, even though he beat a literal five-year-old.
"But that was still mean-spirited it was only a spar," Iruka argued back to Mizuki.
And so they started bickering about what was right and wrong to do in a spar.
I took that moment to take my leave and go to a different part of the yard area where I could watch the fights and be quietly alone.
Currently, Itachi and Hayate Gekko were fighting. 'He's the guy who died getting information for Konoha, I thought watching him get his ass soundly beaten by Itachi.
"So this is the difference between me and him huh well fuck of course the emos stronger he's older and has been training since 3 as well," I said aloud, but not loud enough to where anybody could hear me.
" Haha You betcha!" I heard from beside me, making me jump, and making the person who said it laugh. I noticed it was the Inuzuka clan girl.
"That was easy," the girl howled.
"What was that for!" I said, annoyed at being jump scared.
"Jeez, I just came to say hello also where did you learn that word?," the girl said.
I not knowing what to do just said "Hello and i learned it from my niisan" awkwardly, letting it be known I wasn't good at interacting with people other than Kakashi.
"You really aren't good at talking to people, aren't you?" the girl asked, realizing I wasn't the most socially capable person. but also storing the information into the back of her head
"Nope, other than my brother, I have never talked to many people in my entire life," I said almost sounding... proud.
"That's just sad," the girl said blankly.
"Eh, I can make friends here...if everybody doesn't have a 22-inch iron rod up their ass, no way in hell am i making friends with them," I said.
"That's gold, anyways I'll be your friend, the names Hana Inuzuka," the now named hana said, putting her hand out for a handshake.
'Oh, this is Kibas sister.' I thought, before shaking her hand. "The names Takato Uchiha the goddaime Hokage of konoha"
"Goddaime huh, that's a huge goal," Hana said.
"Well it was my brother's dream before he passed and I want to be the first Uchiha Hokage," I said confidently.
"I thought your brother was alive?" she said, although it sounded like a question.
"Okay, it's kinda confusing but my brother died in the third shinobi war and my parents died in the Kyuubi attack, so my brother who was the teammate of my brother adopted me," I said.
"Oh, that must of been tough," Hana said.
"Eh, not really. After the initial pain of loss, it wasn't hard to move on, they would have wanted it that way," I said, losing my smile.
"Anyways, what's your dream?" I asked.
"Me... I want to become a veterinarian," Hana said.
"Veterinarian that's cool you'll get to help out all sorts of animals," I said enthusiastically, as I loved animals it was a great reason as to why I loved Kakashi's ninken summons so much.
"Yeah, but mainly I'll get to help out my clan ninken," Hana said sounding excited at the word "ninken" so I assumed she didn't get her three ninken yet.
"That's cool," I said.
"Yeah it is," she responded.
Then, it fell into an uncomfortable silence for a while.
"So do you want a cinnamon roll," I offered after a while, since I still had my cinnamon rolls from earlier in the day that I sealed away.
"Sure!" Hana happily took up the offer and devoured the cinnamon roll I gave her.
"Thanks for that," she said.
The Proctor then called the final names for sparring today. "Hana Inuzuka vs Ko Hyuuga"
"Eh, no problem, now you should get to the ring and kick that Hyuuga's ass!" I shouted that last part.
"Will do!" She howled back, as she saw the Hyuuga definitely had a stick up his ass.
They stared each other down.
Hana used her Ninja art of Beast Mimicry to grow claws elongate her teeth and make her more akin to a rabid dog and settled into the inuzuka clans taijutsu style.
Ko entered the gentle fist stance.
"Start!" the chunin instructor shouted.
Ko ran towards Hana who also ran toward Ko.
Ko extended a palm strike towards Hana's solar plexus, but she was faster and dodged, clawing at Ko's chest and, kicking him away, sending him out of the ring.
"That was fast," I said, whilst the Proctor called the match.
"Damn right it was," Hana said, disappointed after leaving the ring.
"Alright, class is now over, come back tomorrow everybody you all did well," the teacher said.
"Well I have to head home, sorry I can't talk more," Hana said apologetically.
"Eh, it's okay my Niisan wants me home anyways," I said truthfully. "See you tomorrow," I said, now waving.
"See ya," Hana shouted, waving as well.
As I left the academy, another reality hit me 'I... made a friend…'
"I made a friend," I said aloud in amazement.
"Hahaha, I already love the academy," I said happily, I already made more friends here in two years than the thirteen I lived in my previous life.
I was so caught up in thought I didn't realize I already reached home and Kakashi was already waiting for me.
"Hello, Takato-Kun how was the Academy?" Kakashi asked
I was broken out of my thoughts by this so I proceeded to tell him about everything that happened that day. He noticeably cringed at the part where I got kicked in the boyhood.
But before Kakashi could actually say anything else I asked a question. "Kakashi-Nii-san, I need your help," I said.
"Well, what do you need help in?" the scarecrow asked.
"Everything, the fight with Mizuki showed me I need to get faster, stronger, better, and it wouldn't hurt to make the rest of my skills better whilst I'm at it," I said determined to get stronger, as if I couldn't even beat Mizuki how would I beat Madara?
"I see, well let's get started," he said before grabbing me and shunshinning away.
Little did they know a certain raven-haired boy had just taken an interest in Takato.
