Just a Reminder guys Naruto is the youngest among them
They all graduated the Academy at the age of 12 and at the end of this they will be 13 years old
Sakura and Sasuke is older to Naruto a few months while Akira is just older than him by 3 days
That's all thank you guys...
Akira's POV
I jolted awake when my face suddenly hit the floor
(Damn! that hurts) My eyes adjusted to the dark, sleepiness slowly disappearing
(what the hell!) I look outside our apartment's window, seeing the sun is already rising, when I look at the time...
(6:15 a.m, mooo..., it's still soo early) I grumbled, annoyed to be awake so early
(how did I even fall out of bed?) I thought, asking myself.
I heard a slight crackle coming from my bed. I slowly rise to my feet ready to attack the intruder that disturbed my sleep, I quickly remove the cover of my bed, and when I saw the person that woke me out of my deep sleep, my eyebrows start twitching. All I could think of, is punching the person sleeping on my bed.
(what the hell is he doing here?... We both know that he has his own bed) I said looking at his bed, not seeing even a single crease on the cover, I face-palmed myself
I gaze out the window once more and see that the sun has already risen.
(I guess, I will not be able to sleep again) looking at the clock- (it's already 6:25, I should wake him up)
"Narutooo! wake-upp!" I said, tapping his cheek a few times
"mhmm" He moans, slapping my hand away
"Narutoo, come on, we can't be late ... today is our graduation test" I explained to him shaking him slightly.
Naruto's eyes flew open and he suddenly sits up
"Naruto, don't sit up so fast" Lecturing him
"eerrr, I feel dizzy" He said massaging his forehead
"I always told you not to sit up so fast when you're lying down" I said with a poker face
"I just got excited-dattebayo" He said very cheerfully, dizziness is all gone
"I can't wait to graduate-dattebayo" He continued, his smile getting bigger
(how is that even possible)
"Me too, Naruto, that's why we should start preparing... our class will start at 7:30 and it's already 6:35" I said looking at the clock
With that, we start preparing what we needed for today
"ioo, why did you sleep in my bed?" I ask confused, nudging him on the shoulders
"I'm not saying that you can't sleep on my bed, what I don't like is you kicking me out of my own bed" I said my eyebrows twitching at the memory
"ohh...hehehhe" He laughed nervously
"Y-you see I can't fall asleep, so I thought I could sleep beside you" He said scratching his cheeks
"Why? you should have waked me up" I said giving him a small smile
"You looked really in a deep sleep, so I didn't wake you up, besides you look really peaceful and cute while you sleep, Aki-chan-ttebayo!" He said a teasing smile on his face
(me cute? he needs to get his eyes check, and what the hell with the Aki-chan again) I thought my eyebrows twitching again
"I told you don't call me Aki-chan, I don't like it" I said poking his forehead
"I don't know why you don't like it... but your wish is my command-dattebayo!" He said with a mocking salute
"Why?" I asked him again
"what do you mean 'Why'?" He asked me confused about what I'm implying to
"I mean, why can't you fall asleep last night, is it a nightmare?" I said looking at him, worried
"ehhehehe...y-you k-know.." He said looking nervous all of a sudden
"no, I don't know, tell me" I demanded looking very serious
(I'm getting really worried... Naruto, what is it?)
"ahhh... ithinkdewashosiaapent" He said very fast
"Naruto, do you really think I will understand what you're saying with that speed?" I said getting a little annoyed
"Try saying it a little slower, you know," I said calming myself
"Well... it was you know... eto... I think there's aghostinourapartment" He said a little slower this time but still fast but understandable
(a wh-what? ghost?... I can't believe I got so worried just to hear that) my tense shoulder drop, annoyance quickly replacing the worry I'm feeling a few seconds ago
"ahh..." I said with a wry smile
"Itai!" Naruto shouts while I drag him to the Ninja Academy by his ears
(That wasn't good for the heart, Naruto)
Once were almost near our room, I let go of Naruto's ear, leaving him with a very red ear
"itai..." I hear Naruto whisper
( okay now, I just needed to walk past all these fangirls ) seeing swooning girls around Sasuke
( why don't they just give up already, don't they see Sasuke only cares for one thing...) I thought looking at all of his fangirls surrounding him.
I looked at Sasuke with a hint of sadness, ( damn it... you've really changed a lot)
A memory crossed my mind. With that, I just walk past all his fangirls and sit beside him
I look again at the girls surrounding our table, (they're still not here... that's why it's still not so loud ) I thought, forgetting what I'm feeling a few seconds ago
I look around the room finding Naruto
(where is he? did his ear fall out.) Looking around I see Naruto talking with Shikamaru and Choji
(I'm just gonna read) I pull out the book I was reading last night
*After 20 minutes
I am about to finish reading when the door suddenly flew open, revealing Iruka-sensei a little out of breath
"Class, I'm sorry, it took a lot of time preparing the head protectors," Iruka-sensei said while catching his breath, then he walks towards his table
"Today is your graduation exam! I hope all of you are prepared" Iruka-sensei said looking in our direction, more specifically, Naruto's direction
Naruto's POV
Iruka-sensei looked in our direction, well basically he looked at me
" Okay, now, we will start! The Jutsu you're going to perform is 'Clone Jutsu'" The last part rung repeatedly in my ears
( oh no! that's my weakest Jutsu) I thought, putting both of my hands above my head getting all sweaty and nervous
I look at Akira who's seemingly not bothered or even interested.
"Akira..." I whisper nudging lightly at her side
Purple eyes looked back at me " Nande?" she asks tilting her head to the side with one eyebrow rising
" that's my weakest jutsu..." I whisper, Purple eyes look at me worriedly,
"Don't worry Naruto, I know you can pull it off" she said, with a small smile on her face
( why am I thinking negatively now, I'm Naruto Uzumaki-dattebayo)
" Right, and I still needed to surpass all the Hokage" I said determination back in my eyes
" We are now about to begin the graduation exam, when your name is called proceed to the next classroom" Iruka sensei announced
" I repeat, the Jutsu you need to do is 'Clone Jutsu'" Iruka-sensei clarify, then he looks at me, this time I smile at him full of determination, he turned back to look at the class, a small smile on his lips
"good luck, everyone!" He said before leaving the room and going to the next classroom
I look at the clock and see that it's been 30 minutes since the exam started,
(Naruto, calm down) I thought while slowly breathing in and out, trying to calm myself
I was startled when my name got called "Uzumaki Naruto"
(Yoshi, this is it) I look at Akira, seeing her nodding her head, I stand up and start to make my way to the next classroom
Iruka's POV
I was waiting for the next examiner when the door slowly open revealing a bright orange jumpsuit (Naruto...)
Once his completely in front of us, " Okay, Naruto, you may perform the 'Clone Jutsu'" I said giving him a small smile
(Even if this is my weakest Jutsu, I will do it no matter what-ttebayo) Naruto's thought looking at Mizuki-sensei and Iruka-sensei
Naruto looks at us full of determination in his eyes. Naruto then formed a hand sign, "Clone Jutsu!" he said releasing chakra, when the cloud of smoke cleared my eyebrows twitch seeing the clone.
"Disqualified!" I shout looking at Naruto
"Iruka-sensei" Mizuki suddenly said. I look at him, indicating for him to continue "His physical coordination and stamina are excellent and he manage to come up with something, isn't that enough for him to pass?" He said with a convincing smile. I look at Naruto and see his eyes full of hope.
"Mizuki-sensei... all the others created three or more clones. Naruto only made one and it's practically useless. I can't give him a passing mark" I explained to Mizuki, Naruto having a disappointed look.
I look at Naruto's back while he was leaving the examination room, when he's out of sight, I released a heavy sigh.
After a few minutes of other students passing, I look at my clipboard seeing a familiar name (Akira...)
I heard her name get called, 20 seconds has passed and Akira was still not here. I was getting impatient when Mizuki enter the room, I look at him confusedly not seeing Akira by his side instead I see a different student enter the room eating chips
"Isn't Akira's next?" I asked him getting more confused. Mizuki sits next to me
"Naruto said that an old man with a bandaged on his right eye appear in their classroom and asked Akira to follow him"
(old bandaged man?)
"I think they're referring to Danzo-sama" Mizuki said leaning back in his chair
"According to them, Danzo-sama said that Akira can take the exam tomorrow or later" Mizuki added seeing the confusion on my face.
I look at the student in front of us eating his potato chips messily "Okay, Choji, you may now perform the 'Clone Jutsu'" I said, my mind still whirling with questions.
