The Hokage tower is the largest building, located close to both the Academy and Hokage mountain. There is the kanji "Fire" painted on the roof of the building.
Rin and I stood in the Hokage's office, rolling my eyes as my twin couldn't keep her excitement contained at what we came here for.
"Zen-Sama, Rin and I wish to join the ninja academy" I said, Gazing at the old man who put the pipe to his lips and took a puff.
"I'll inform the Academy and enlist you there. Tomorrow, morning at 8 attend classes in the academy" Hiruzen informed, making Rin first pump the air.
"Believe it! I'm gonna graduate the academy and surpass all hokages".
Hiruzen and I grinned at my sister whose eyes glistened with determination. Moments like these were my favourite.
I blinked when she ran to Hiruzen and hugged him. I followed her suit and did the same. "Thank you Zen-Sama, I won't let your favours be wasted" I whispered.
"I believe in you two considering the training you've done. As long as the will of fire stays awake inside of you nothing will stop you".
I'm truly thankful for the Hokage. For the past two years, he had been supplying us with scrolls I asked for to help us train. He had been encouraging when we told him about our training plan.
"Zen-sama it's time for me to tell you the secret to solving the paperwork" I said before squeaking when the Hokage's face appeared right Infront of me out of nowhere, begging me to tell him the secret.
Jesus. Some people are dense here. He's named the professor yet he never discovered shadow clone Jutsu is the secret? It's obvious the clones do activities for you and return the information to you.
I gulped and whispered in his ear "Shadow clone jutsu".
That day the scream of the Hokage was heard all over Konoha. He realised, he was an idiot.
It's been two long years and I couldn't bring myself to hate Zen-Sama. I would say the old man has good and bad deeds, at least he respected us and paid for our apartment and utilities. not to mention when we asked him to increase our salary for a good reason such as purchasing training equipment (training weights, practice kunais, shurikens etc) he would be supportive and proud of it.
"Zen-sama, Rin and I want to purchase ninja outfits, could you increase our salary this time and help us purchase them, the villagers are shunning out of their shops" I explained, hoping from the bottom of my heart he would help us.
The Hokage whose face glowed with light shining on him, and angels singing above him, had 5 shadow clones working on his office papers and was more than happy to accompany us to our clothes shopping, in fact he ended up rewarding us with Ichiraku's ramen and taking us to the shop that sells my all time favourite dessert, Dango with floral tea.

I hummed, taking a look at my outfit in the mirror. I had my hair in twin buns with bangs framing my round face. I wore a sleeveless yellow dress that stopped mid-thigh with slits on each side. I sewed the Uzumaki symbol on my back. Underneath the dress was a pair of black shorts and black ninja shoes.
I stared in adoration at Rin's unique style that showed her confidence. I love the Female Naruto of this timeline over the past one. No offence to the original Naruto but his female version is amazingly inspiring with her strength.
Rin preferred short haircuts, her blonde hair cut into an asymmetrical bob. One side tucked behind her ear and the other dangling to her neck.
She wore a mesh shirt with a cropped sleeveless black top above, orange shorts and thigh-high black ninja shoes. The Uzumaki symbol rested on her back.
We headed to the ninja academy, jumping from roof to roof. It was a frightening thing when I first came here but with Rin's encouragement, I overcame this fear.
We knocked and proceeded to enter the classroom, holding hands together.
A Tanned, chunin wearing his uniform turned to us, and I had to physically stop myself from jumping and hugging the life out of him. Right now he didn't know us and is still the evil guy, not our fatherly Iruka.
He cleared his throat, knocking me out of my thoughts only to be faced with a disgusted look directed at us.
I could tell my twin wasn't happy when I saw her gazing at the ground with empty eyes.
"Class, we have two students joining us. Introduce yourselves" he said.
I calmly stood in front of the class, "I'm Uzumaki Mito, Nice to meet you". Snickers began around the class, with comments about me being a tomato head.
Rin grinned with her hands behind her neck trying to stay happy, "Hiyaaa I'm Uzumaki Rin and I'll become the best Hokage, believe it!" she exclaimed.
Everyone in the class began laughing and mocking my sister and I. "what a failure".
"Hey! Don't make fun of us!" she exclaimed with an angry face.
From the side of my eye, I saw Iruka smirking at how we were made fun of and doing nothing to stop it. I decided to put everyone in their place and stepped forward, leaning on the sensei's table.
"It's not wise to make fun of the only living relatives of the Senju clan" I said smugly, watching when everyone gasped. Even the asleep Shikamaru had his head up.
"That can't be possible, all Senju's are dead you liar!" someone screamed. I chuckled and crossed my arms.
"Seems like your sensei failed in teaching you history. Our clan comes from Uzushiogakure, your ally whose symbol every Konoha ninja wears on their uniform" I explained, pointing to Iruka's bicep where the swirl rested.
"a kunoichi called Uzumaki Mito married your first Hokage Hashirama. we are blood relatives to Senju even if distant".
The class that once made fun of us were wide-eyed. Iruka's smirk was erased from his face at being humiliated by me.
I decided not to push further and took my upset sister to sit in the empty seats beside non-other than the emo, Uchiha Sasuke. Great. Just great.
After a lot of whispers and questions directed to our sensei, he shut everyone up and started the lesson, which ironically was a history class. I looked out of the window while my sister fell asleep, drooling on the table from boredom after I had calmed her down.
Throughout the class, I could tell Sasuke's eyes were on us. After all the Uchiha were known to be rivals of the Senju. We might not be Senju but we are the closest to them.
