"Deturance
3 Months later….
"Hajime" the chunin instructor could barely finish before the two kids clashed breaking the earth under their feet.
'These kids are something else ever since their first fight they have only gotten stronger and faster. With competition like this I would how strong they could get' as he finished his thoughts he looked to the crowd and her and saw kids ether metaly quit or hate the would for there supposed lack of talent and started blaming the kids in front of them or make excuses for themselves. 'I wonder which one is worse: quitting or blaming, one is a lack of willpower and the other is a lack of self awareness. From what I hear Itachi and Tobi nearly kill themselves training by exhaustion or other means trying to outdo or keep up with each other.
"Troublesome" he heard one kid say as he watched intently at the two prodigies trying to track their movements seemingly unaffected by the level of the fight
'He would be a good third team member for them' the chunin thought as he saw how he was affected in an almost positive way 'He has that glit that most Nara get when they have a puzzle in front of them' he thought as he looked back to the fight to see when to stop it as almost a minute passed before he intervened.
"Stop," he said as both kids jumped away from each other breathing heavily, "You both showed enough to pass this portion of the test, you're free to head to the next test. Next up Nar" as we both left to take the jutsu portion of this exam I signaled for him to go first as I hung back.
'We neve did finish a fight in all 3 months of competing, although I don't think I had this much dive to excel ever' he continued thinking over the heelish 3 months of training as he waited for Itachi to finish his jutsu exame 'I can't believe I actually want to rest after this and not hyped up for missions, I guess near non stop training for 3 months is more taxing than original thought' Tobi finished his thoughts as Itachi walked out with a leaf headband wrapped around his head his head.
"Next" said a different chunin proctor, as he ushered Tobi into an empty classroom for the final exam.
"Ok for your final exam, perform the basic 3" the proctor said in monotone.
'It really is as easy as the show made it seem huh' Tobi thought as he used the hand signs to perform a jutsu 'clone jutsu' as 5 perfect replicas came out, he heard the proctor write something on his sheet as I perform another set of hand signs 'transformation jutsu' as he transformed into a perfect copy of the chunin in front of them.
As the proctor looked down to wright more he sensed the kids' chakera start to mold so he instinctively looked up to see the kid switch with a chair in the back. He was somewhat impressed but kept a neutral face and kept writing on his sheet. "Good, you may get a headband, Congratulations your a part of Konoha's military force now"
I ended up choosing a black headband and walking out to head home and rest for the first time in a while 'I'm pretty sure Bik- oh ya forgot' his thoughts ended as he jumped on a roof heading to a training ground.
3 Hours later at at training ground near to sarutobi district
'Thwack' 'Thwack' 'Thwack' 'Thwack'
Was heard as four kunai hit their targets all at the same time.
'All bullseye but one, again' he said in his head frustrated at his lack of progress in this exercise, as he studied the targets, all 3 tied up on the front of trees but one that's hidden behind a tree.
"You should come home, we could celebrate your graduation" said a voice from out of nowhere.
I'm startled at first but then I gain my composure and look at the source of the voice" so you heard the news already, Sasuke"(OOH what type of timeline changes will the author make that derives from cannon). A young adult in an anbu vest with brown hair is shown up in a tree as he looks down.
"Come home, i know it won't be the same without mom there but dad is taking the night off" he says trying to convince him.(Plot twist
'The mom and dad card, I don't even know if it's on purpose or not but calling but using their names makes me wanna cave.' I think as I keep my face neutral so as to not let him know. "You know Itachi's brother has the same first name as you" (semi plot twist I'm just unoriginal with names, and Hiruzen naming his first born the same as his father isn't even that bizarre of an idea).
"Stop trying to change the subject, answer Tobi" A stern voice says trying to get his brother to answer.
Seeing as he is out of time he decides "fine i'll go already" I say with an exaggerated tone as he smiles, as we go home.
Later at the Sarutobi house
As we walk in I see Hiruzen and Asuma sitting at the table with someone I have yet to see before, at least in this life "so this is the kid you've been talking about sensi" a deep but almost comforting voice said coming from a tall man with white hair in a red and green clothing and a headband with the kanji for oil on it.
I try to keep my face the same as I sit down at the table 'never expected to meet him this early, but boy is he huge, this fucker is jacked as shit' I think as I look over at our guest.
"Our guest name is" the old sarutobi is saying before a loud explosion noise is heard and the sound of feet hitting the ground in rhythm "Jiraiya the gallant, the woer of woman and the envy of all men, the toad sage himself" he finishes saying on top of a giant toad overlooking the audience.
