Sweet kami 1 year down and 5 more to go. I was confused too when I found this out but unlike the show where they graduate at 10-12 or somewhere around there. the world I live in right now actually want you to have started puberty and let it set in a bit so you have already started to deal with those issues when you start killing people. I can understand what they are thinking, since the saying old enough to kill old enough to drink is around, I'm sure a lot of young kids who have just had some traumatizing experience of killing someone or almost getting killed, will try and deal with it through being close to someone usually ending in sex. If there not old enough to fuck by the time there genin they could resort to some other shit that could cause some problems for the village. Unplanned births are never and issue for the orphanage because it adds more cannon fodder to the system.
I have to admit I learned a lot in class, because they are teaching me a little of everything right now to help me blend in when on missions so I don't stand out like a total noob. Sure, I'm not going to be able to pass myself as anything more than an early apprentice to most things, but that will be good enough. Hell, it's even recommended we take up a hobby or trade to take our stress out on or help relax.
With the friend situation I have ended up with a number of civ girls as an academy friend. Not someone you hang out with outside the academy but someone you have lunch with and can talk to. The boys are just too much, I thought they would be easy but there are too many fart jokes and posturing going on especially with the rival clan kids. But the down side is these girls don't do extra training, only the one we are told to do. These girls I just know are going to become part of the administration or archive section. Hell, maybe even long-term spy's because they don't have the build of a ninja or attitude. Like I said the ninja system and a role for everything even if they have to teach you puppeteering to move your missing leg or arm.
As for SHAPER it couldn't be happier, why you ask? Well it happened because during a spar I ended up successfully grappling a Uchiha's arm and was about to punch the prick in the face with my other, when he moved just enough to tilt his head to the side. This made it so I missed making me over balance and giving him the opportunity knee me in the gut. Now why would SHAPER love that well because I had scared him enough to give him one Tomoe in each eye. God, I wanted to punch that smug look, especially when he said I helped him to become the greatest Uchiha since Madara. Did I mention I can't stand the boys my age? The good thing is that SHAPER now understands how the eye works in getting started for turning off and on. Turns out there is a special gland behind the Uchiha's eye ball that secrets a very small enzyme directly on the optic nerve that turns the eye off and on. It also seams that during his initial release the gland was block so SHAPER couldn't tell that it did anything. Now because of this SHAPER has tried and succeeded in unlocking 2 Tomoe in the kids eye separately during another grappling.
With the success with this I refuse to give a 8 year old 3 Tomoe and make is look even better to his clan. But the issue with that is that he has now determined that all 3 times it was because he was sparing with me that he unlocked them so he has tried more and more to piss me off so I will fight him all the time. SO fuck that! I do not want to be the magic unlock button for the Uchiha. That would make things so bad for me, let alone have the Hyuga want to palm strike my ass for helping their rivals. The Hyuga's don't have this gland so I have no idea how to unlock the next stage of their eye unless I can get ahold of an advanced one. Because I get the feeling the gland is only part of the issue and the other is the persons chakra that is reacting with the cells. But I am not doing any experiments with my eyes or anyone else's in trying to give them the Sharingan. Maybe later when Sasuke is older and I give a newborn the eyes just to fuck with him and his fan girls into making them think he is sleeping around with older women.
Muhahahah.
Any how my leaf sticking exercises have progressed great. I am now able to stick light things to myself and not have to concentrate on keeping it there. It is so fucking weird when I think about that but at the same time amazing. But when I moved onto the spinning of the leaf, I have only reached the point where I can have 2 on each arm but none on my legs without concentrating on it, and being only partially aware of it.
I think the reason I have not progressed as fast with this is because I am constantly with minor improvements increased my reserves through wasting my chakra before sleep. So, I am sure my body is still getting used to dealing with my increases and its not used to it along with my control exercises. I can now understand why they keep medics safe here if they constantly have to work on control exercises. But in the end, I could be wrong and when I grow old my body could be used to this and as long as I don't somehow get a crazy increase, I won't have to constantly work on it to keep my current level of control. Oh well nothing I can do about it, and I am up to 3 min on standing on my wall.
As for the Uzumaki twins I have seen them around, when I run around but I have noticed no one sneering or wanting to attack them. If anything, the people are scared of them and they are being ignored and kids are being told there scary and not to be near them. So, as I see it I don't see them ever getting raped or beaten for fear that they will Snap and somehow 2 Kyuubi will be released. When I saw how depressed they where are my old orphanage the next day I bought a rubber ball and when I passed them, I made sure to get one of there eyes and tossed them the ball and kept running after that. I know I don't have a reason to interact with them there by getting Anbu on my ass, but its so damn sad looking at them and only having themselves as friends so I figure small shit like this wont matter and could show them people still see them.
Now about the amazing jutsu I have learned! There none of the classic 3 yet this year the only 4 we have learned are the started jutsu for survival. It's the ember jutsu that basically makes your finger get a lighter sized flame on it and apparently when we get better, we can choose where it appears, for example in the kindling of a fire. The next is what I call the bottle filler. We condense the water vapor in the area into an open container giving you a clean source of water. Next is a small earth jutsu that moves enough earth to smother a fire so no smoke is released when extinguished. And finally, a simple wind jutsu that helps you cut up some branches or fans the flames of the fire.
All these are good for helping you determine what your affinity is and at the same time training them. They just don't have an excuse for lightning jutsu to be used. As of right now I seem to have the easiest to work with water but I will keep using all of them as much as I can every day. When I look at my memories, I can only remember the leaf cutting exercise and the one where you burn a hole through one. Nothing for water so far so I will have to come up for one for water and earth.
And as for fuinjutsu I can say I hate it with a passion. Because apparently it maters the order in witch you paint the lines for the kanji you are using so it makes it something else. But I can make a basic sealing scroll so there is a plus. But I will suffer through it because painless sealing apparently works through your thoughts and intentions when the fuinjutsu is inscribed with your chakra. But to do that you need a lot of chakra and control over it or a formula to condense it to make it work. It's a lot of technical hoopla but that is my goal, instead of these damn brush strokes that needs to be a certain thickness in their lines to the size of the script. Fucking kami I wish this world was more fanficy where thing could be learned fast and I become god. Sure, I can give myself some upgrades but 1 jonin with a kunai to my head and its game over.
And now for my amazing standing in class its 8th in a class of 30 I am just above the median and that's looking at those lazy fanboys and girls. God I am getting my ass handed to me by these little kids. Its depressing but at the same time I don't have to dumb myself down I actually have to try and I don't get bored. Because really what mid 30-year-old would know about this shit in the world he used to live in.
