As we get into the classroom assigned for us, I am still trying to come out of that daze as are most of the kids apparently. While I know that kids my age wouldn't have understood half of the shit Hiruzen sama spoke about, the effect of the speech is still the same. After a few minutes of pondering over what Hokage sama said, I come to a conclusion. What Hokage sama said is very true. While he omitted many of the bloody details all he said was most likely true. The village was actually only formed because Madara and Hashirama joined hands. Kindness was Naruto's biggest weapon.

Most people in this world don't expect kindness. Konoha has that. Our shinobis' life is based on the fact that Unity is strength. I know that I won't ever spare any Iwa nins if I caught them but now I also know that I will be able to extend kindness to other people without fearing schemes upon schemes because they are ninjas. Oh I know there will be schemes and betrayals and what not as that is the name of the game called politics but at least I will not live in the fear that any relationship I build will be a lie.Hokage sama's speech about trust and unity won me over to be honest. While I don't believe that a civilisation with murder ninjas will not have its dark corners, I do believe that everything in this world will not be dark and shitty.

Well enough monologues, looks like our instructor's here.

"Good Morning Students"

"Good morning Sir" replied all of us in a chorus. These small things sometimes make me forget that this is a child soldier facility. Shut up Brain! Don't ruin our mood right now...

"So students.. Today is our first class of the batch. Our first business in today's class is unlocking the chakra of the students who currently don't possess chakra. Students who don't have chakra, please line up in a straight line while the students whose chakra pathways have been opened, please go to Room no. 23. You will be doing some basic exercise given to you by Kaminari sensei." "Hai Sensei" seemed to be the general response. We then lined up according to our roll numbers while the other kids evacuated our homeroom.

"Alright so chakra unlocking is an exhaustive process for the one getting it unlocked so I require you all to sit down and be silent. I will come one by one and unlock your chakra. Remember! You shouldn't overreact. I will be using my chakra to stimulate your tenketsu points. Therefore try to not move much"

I sat down along with the other students all of whom were clanless kids. Honestly, I don't see any clan entrusting such a process to an outside ninja however proficient they are in their job. I close my eyes and meditate. Meditation has become an unexpected habit of mine. Dealing with grief teaches you how to mediate. I have been doing this for more than 4 months. I know this shit better than these brats.I go deep in meditation. Sometime later I feel something, something that has been a part of me yet not. Something that is powerful and wants to be unleashed. I take its reigns and take it under my control. It's like a dam was broken down. The energy rushes me and I feel euphoric, I feel like I can take the world but I know it is just a monetary feeling. I clamp down on the urge to release all that energy and shut the flow down gently.

I open my eyes and try to stand up. I feel incredibly lethargic. Well that was certainly something. As I stand up, I see the instructor eyeing me like he saw a ghost.. I don't understand why?.. I then glance around and see all the children on my right side unconscious and the children on my left side wide eyed.

"Did... I do .. something wrong...sir?" Even my voice is coming a little off. The instructor incredibly quickly schools his expression though some of that dumbfoundedness does remain. Wonder why though?

"Kid I don't how you stayed up after your chakra was just unlocked..let alone stand up and talk. It isn't even that the process went wrong. You have a little above average chakra for your age and that's it but by some unholy combination of whatever, you managed to control your chakra from completely leaking.. I still don't know how that happened.." Sir your eyes really show how dumbfounded you are, you don't have to put it in words.

And what the fuck? I go over to my seat somewhat slowly and sit down. Ouch.. My back's hurting. The instructor continues to unlock the chakra of other kids and they continue to be knocked out. Sometime during the process, the kids started waking up one by one. Another instructor comes by and helps the kids to their seats and starts to serve us all some food. Ah.. Lunch time has come and apparently Lunch is free today. We are so blessed.. Now only if my back stops hurting so much..

After Lunchtime finishes*

After eating the food given by the instructor and enjoying the dumbfounded face of the second instructor when he was told about me, I am feeling a lot better.. My back pain has also started going away. Well I think I can explain what happened very simply. Simply put, I am very much better at meditating than those dumb kids. I know I shouldn't be enjoying lording over some kids but it's ninja magic man! Ninja MAGIC!

And apparently I am awesome at controlling my chakra.. Yay for being OP! *ahem* Anyways, I have been practicing meditation for over 4 months and I also have better impulse control than 6 year olds. Who knew that a reincarnated man would have better impulse control than snot nosed kids? I certainly didn't... So I was able to put down the impulse to let all that chakra loose...

After some rest given to us by sensei, the other kids(mostly clan kids) came back to the class. They were dripping sweat heavily. Apparantly the instructor made them run 4 miles. Ah ninja world logic.. never fail me. If this was my previous world, the kids would have been in hospital instead of just being exhausted and the instructor would have been in jail. Anyways, the next class(etiquette class) is starting.

Etiquette class was intense man. It was the last class of today as today was mostly for unlocking the chakra of those without it and some basic introduction to etiquette. But hell it was intense. Etiquette was one of the classes whose book I hadn't studied in advance because of a cocktail of reasons: (a) I didn't want to study everything in advance, (b) etiquette is obviously better studied practically, (c) I wasn't quite interested in it.

But man was I wrong. Etiquettes class is taken by one of the interns of the head of our Intelligence department. Our teacher is a chunin Nara. Naras, even though lazy are incredibly intelligent and our teacher showed us why. He distributed papers with different scenarios in them and asked us how we will act. Obviously we all failed although Hiashi,Hizashi, Shikaku and me were close enough. My task was to properly greet an Uchiha in official standing. I was nervous about the task as I had no idea in hell to perform it. I gave a standard greeting of cupping my hands and bowing with an added Uchiha same in it. Shikazo sensei remarked that while I was suitably polite, my words sounded more like a mocking insult. I was to greet in a standard manner and then extend a hand for them to shake. The basis of this was the handshake done between Hashirama and Madara during their peace treaty. Although Senju and Uchiha don't really get along even nowadays, the handshake has a special significance in their hearts. The handshake signified peace,unity and the end of the warring states era.

It is the proper greeting to be given to an Uchiha or a Senju in official capacity. All of us were given wildly different tasks. I learned quite a bit due to Sensei's objective of teaching us... his words not mine 'How not to offend your allies'. It was very neat overall.

As I go back to my home, I remind myself that this day marks the first step of my revenge...and the first step of my new life.. I hope you see this Mom..Dad...

I try to sleep but I am incredibly restless. You don't know how it feels to have something as incredible as chakra. I can't wait till they teach us chakra control.. It is not even in the curriculum till the last quarter of the year. Our chakra has been unlocked as active chakra pathways help in better development of bodies but we will mainly be focusing on that, etiquettes, history and kunai throwing mostly during the first 2-3 quarters of the year. While seemingly easy, it only seems so because you don't know how much etiquette you have to jam in your head as there are so many ways to fucking offend people.. What is this? Xianxia land?

There is also learning history so that we know how to 'Actually offend people by telling them their failures'. No literally that is essentially what we study during history. Well that and Konoha, Hashirama and Tobirama's great conquests. And kunai throwing.. you know most of us don't have cheaty eyes to cheat with during kunai throwing. We have to actually aim. Ninjas only develop those 'sixth senses' when they have been in actual death battles. Before that we have to manually aim how to throw kunai and shuriken.

Well while the academy won't start teaching us chakra related shit, I have the goldmine that is Tobirama's chakra theory notes. The most basic shit here is leaf sticking. Fortunately for me, I stocked up on the leaves yesterday as I expected my chakra to be unlocked today...

My chakra has already recovered from the day's exhaustion. Well when you have less chakra than a genin,it recovers quickly. I take a leaf in my hand and stick it to my head. I try to feel my chakra and get the euphoric feeling again but subdued this time. I take control of the chakra a little and supply a thin layer of chakra to my head only for my hand to be pushed back along with the leaf...

Huh.. Apparently thin means an actually thin layer. You see neutral chakra is like an adhesive when in a thin layer and an explosive when applied in a large amount. You know, it doesn't actually matter whether or not you actually have HUGE reserves unless your reserves are above an average Chunin's when you start this. Leaf sticking requires you to use a specific percentage of your chakra whatever the amount (below what I specified) and not a defined amount of chakra.

Otherwise it would be incredibly difficult for even genins to perform much less academy students. Chakra isn't really alive otherwise we would all have died by now*cough Kaguya cough*. But it is impressionable. Chakra is like that one dominant gene which made humans... well humans. But a key difference is that chakra adapts. There has been more than a 1000 years dedicated to its development. Bloodlimits are the result of evolution of chakra over the course of a thousand years. Neutral chakra has therefore been what you can preprogrammed to behave in two manners depending on the amount used: (a) as an adhesive,(b) as an explosive. Obviously the explosive force provided is very low but it is still enough for most Shinobi used.

Now,some smartasses have questioned why neutral chakra behaves so including but not limited to Tobirama. The most possible reason is that people and things started to explode. Yes that's the reason. You see it is the neutral chakra's adhesive nature that confused people. The theory is that use of chakra in day to day life must have been difficult in the initial days of chakra as any use of neutral chakra most likely lead to explosions so over the course of years this problem was solved by Shinobi of that period manipulating neutral chakra to become adhesive. This was then ingrained into the chakra's nature as nowadays it is an instinctive use of chakra even if we tend to train with it. You see, all these fancy Magic..*ahem* justus and bloodline limits were not just dumped over into the world. These have been developed because the chakra gene in our bodies has adapted. This is also the reason why Shinobi with ninja parents even without possessing any bloodline limits are able to reach many heights while shinobi without a clan along with having civilians as parents never breach the Jonin barrier.

As I was monologueing, I finally stabilised the leaf on my head after burning 4 hours of my sleeptime. I am pretty much exhausted as well. My method of concentrating on something is to let it flow without thinking deeply about the thing I am doing and thinking about other things. It makes my subconscious take over my actions while the dumb conscious part monologues. Aren't I a genius? Now...let's ...sleep...

snoring sounds*

A/n: phew.. Hope my chakra theory explanations were to the point and understandable.. If you have any questions then feel free to ask. Next chapter will have a timeskip to the end of the year and some friendships being formed. I don't think I can write the dialogue for start of a friendship without it coming as incredibly awkward as most first time conversations I had with my friends were awkward..

Jerry Beans Man I think I made the reason clear...*rereads the chapter* oh fuck! I thought I made the reason clear but the hint was vague as fuck.. I will include the information in the next chapter.

Minato finally shows that he is actually an adult and not a child by doing what no child has ever done... Meditation... No but seriously having an adult's concentration will help Minato a lot. Look he has already started learning chakra control shit 9 months before the teachers even started it.

Yes, the clan kids would have started with it as well. No, noone in Minato's generation will have the absurd chakra control that will be possessed by him.

Goodbye and stay tuned for the next chapter
