Two more months passed like this. My daily routine includes some early training with mother or father. Later during academy time, my shadow clone will substitute me. I will train with Team Minato sometimes as I grew stronger day by day.When team Minato is on a mission, I will search for Uncle Sakumo who will train me in kenjutsu and ninjutsu techniques. In the evening, I will train with Kurenai in Genjutsu techniques.My training with Team Minato yielded the most result. I was able to take Minato by surprise during our first bell test. But after he came to know of my jutsus and tricks, it got harder to take bells from him. He even further improved his Flying Thunder God technique as he added new jutsus to the technique. His new technique is called,'Flying Thunder God - Second Step'I thought the name was lame for such a cool technique, but then it reminded me of the technique used by Minato in the Third Shinobi War and thought it is at least better than that.Minato taught me more jutsus of Fire, Lightning, and Wind Release, and I am grateful for that. My battle senses have improved a lot but all of this training was still under a safe environment. Minato won't deal a killing blow to us and we were aware of it which lowered our guard a little bit. In these two months, I have pretty much mastered all of the elemental techniques taught by Minato and now it is time to aim for the Space Techniques.As usual, today I start to train in the forest near the Training Ground 3. Soon, Minato and his team appear with Kushina as we start our usual routine with another bell test. We fought with Minato for almost an hour. My teamwork with Team Minato had improved a lot, the only department I lack is Taijutsu and Senjutsu both of which require a strong body. Minato whopped our ass as we were unable to grab any bell.Minato breathed heavily as he remarked,"It is getting harder and harder to beat the combination of you four now. Ha… ha… all of you improved way too fast and I can't keep up. I will have to speed up the creation of my new jutsu."'Oh! He has already started the creation of Rasengan. I can help him and in exchange ask him to teach me more about the space element. Minato was the only Shinobi before Otsutsuki's who had a profound knowledge of Space. Well, Tobirama Senju had enough knowledge to create the Flying Thunder God Technique. But it reached new heights under Minato's hand and Tobirama himself confirmed it.'"Minato-san, Can you show me your new jutsu?"I inquired Minato. Minato nodded as he replied,"It is still in development and isn't even a C-rank technique for now."Minato stretches his right hand as he began to knead Chakra in his palm and began to gather it in one spot. The Chakra began to gather in his hand as it starts to form a sphere the size of a marble, but before it could expand further the Chakra explodes due to instability as Minato's hand got jerked back due to the recoil force of the Chakra and smoke rose from his palm guard. Minato sighs as he begins to explain,"The principle behind this jutsu is to compress Chakra in a small sphere and then launch it towards the enemies as the compressed Chakra expands on contact with an enemy and explodes violently like a bomb. As you saw the recoil from the ball the size of marble was enough to almost break my hand. Now, imagine if it is the size of say a throwing ball; the impact caused by the explosion of such a ball would be ten to twenty times more powerful."I pondered for a while as I thought about it,'Should I tell him the complete training method of Rasengan or shall I just guide him in the correct direction.'After contemplating for a while I decided to guide him,'Minato is a genius, he will be able to figure the jutsu much earlier if I just guide him to correct direction. Also, I can't raise his suspicion by pulling out an A-rank technique without proper training out of nowhere.'Minato looks at me as I am contemplating,"I decided to create this jutsu when I saw a Tailed beast creating a massive orb of Chakra called Tailed Beast Bomb. The tailed beast Bomb had very high destructive power as it is able to obliterate a massive mountain to dust. I thought of mimicking that technique to create something similar that can be used by a Ninja to produce a similar effect albeit on a smaller scale."I acted like I was thinking seriously over this matter but in reality, I am just thinking,'The time has come to ask Minato for the Space element training.'"Minato-san, I think your idea is great but you are moving in a completely wrong direction. You won't get anywhere if you continued like this."Minato was perplexed by my claim. He had a pensive expression as he questions me,"How so…? Do you have a better idea Izuna-Kun?"I nod to Minato as I start to explain,"Minato-san! There is a fundamental difference between the physique of the Tailed beast and the human body. I have read that Tailed Beasts are beings made up entirely of Chakra whereas we are made of flesh and bones. The tailed beast can collect and Chakra easily because their entire body is Chakra whereas in our body Chakra rotates in a pathway as it circulates inside the body. So, you can't do the same thing as the Tailed beast. If my hypothesis is correct then you should try to add rotation to the Chakra when you compress it."Minato was shocked by this revelation as he immediately tried to compress the Chakra while adding rotation.A small chakra ball began to compress in his hand as the chakra rotated and stabilized the ball. The ball continued to expand till it reached the size of a tennis ball. Minato slammed the Chakra ball into a nearby tree as it created a small whirling hole the size of the ball before the Chakra faded away.Minato became excited to see this as he begins to mumble,"The stability of the Chakra is great but it lacks the power to do any lethal damage. I will continue improving it further."He turns to me as he praises me,"Izuna-Kun, you are very sharp and intelligent. You were able to improve the jutsu I struggled to create in past three months just by one observation. Tell me, which jutsu you want to learn next?""Minato-san. Can you teach me your space-time Ninjutsu 'Flying Thunder God'? I will also help you with your new jutsu."Minato contemplated for a while before he replies,"Izuna-kun! It is not that I can't teach you the jutsu. It is that learning this jutsu is very hard and not everyone is suitable for learning it. First and foremost, you must have some affinity for space elements to be able to read this jutsu. Second, you need to be a master in Fuinjutsu to be able to create your own seal to imprint space coordinates in it. Third, your body must be able strong enough to bear the stress caused by the sudden spatial shift. Fourth, there will be split second of vulnerability after the sudden shift."He looks at me then continues,"Although in your case we can ignore the fourth condition as you will eventually awaken Sharingan which will grant you incredible perception power. But still, with so many hurdles it is very difficult to learn this jutsu."I begin to think of ways to convince Minato in teaching me the 'Flying Thunder God' Jutsu."Minato-san, how will you test my affinity with the space-element."I wondered how the affinity for the space element can be tested. The Chakra paper has a limit and could only test the elemental and non-elemental type affinities."Oh! If you want to learn my 'Flying Thunder God' jutsu then I will test your space affinity."Minato takes out a small scroll with a special seal with kanji word 'Space' on it. He hands over the scroll to me as he explains,"This is a special Uzumaki Clan scroll. It is given to me by Kushina. When you infuse your Chakra in the scroll, the markings on the scroll will disappear and will reappear on a similar scroll to this one if you have the space affinity. Otherwise, you don't have space affinity."Minato fishes out another similar scroll from his pocket and opens it. It is similar to the scroll in my hand but with no kanji word.I begin to infuse Chakra in the scroll handed to me by Minato as I curiously wait for a response.'Well, I have space element affinity so it wouldn't be hard for me to pass this test. Right!'
Just after the infusion of Chakra, the kanji seal begins to fade as it disappeared completely in the next few seconds. Minato hurriedly checked the scroll in his hand. There is a kanji seal on the previously empty paper.Minato's jaw-dropped at this as he seemed shocked to see the seal on the paper.'Uh! Is there something wrong with the seal? Why Minato seems so surprised? I have Space affinity, so why his reaction is so exaggerated?'I begin to flash the scroll in front of a stunned Minato as I spoke,"Minato-san, see I have an affinity for space element. You have to train me in Space element now."Minato gathers his wits as he replies,"Yes, you have an affinity for Space. But what surprised me is how high your affinity for space is. It took me five minutes of continuous Chakra Supply to transfer the seal completely from one scroll to another. Five minutes is considered very good for Space affinity, but you just did it in a matter of a few seconds. It implies that your affinity for space is way too high. I am shocked because we of the Namikaze bloodline specializes in Space element but you are Uchiha and still possess such a powerful Space affinity. I wonder what other secrets do you hold?"Minato looked curiously over to me as he joked. I begin to sweat buckets as I am not sure how to reply to this."Ok! I will train you in space element but for Fuinjutsu you will have to ask Kushina. Kushina is an Uzumaki and she specializes in Fuinjutsu. Her fuinjutsu skills are better than mine."I nod my head to Minato as I walk towards Kushina hoping to convince her to teach me Fuinjutsu. I am not sure how powerful the Fuinjutsu techniques are, as there was no Uzumaki specialized in Fuinjutsu present in the Anime. But Uzumakis were feared for their sealing techniques to the point that many other nations joined hands with each other to deal with Uzumaki Clan speaks for itself. Guess, I will get to know more about the potential of sealing techniques when I learn them myself.Kushina is chatting with Rin as I approach her. She senses my arrival as she inquiries from me,"Izuna-kun, do you need something from Big-Sister?"I hesitate for a while before I begin to speak,"Big Sister Kushina! I… I have a very high affinity for Space Element. Minato-san just checked it with the Uzumaki scroll. So, I want to learn the 'Flying Thunder God' technique from Minato-san. He agreed to train me in the Space element but asked me to convince you for my training in Fuinjutsu. So, I would like to ask you to train me in Fuinjutsu, Big-Sister Kushina.""Nope! I won't teach Fuinjutsu to you Izuna-kun." Kushina replied directly."Ehh…! Why you won't teach me big-sister Kushina?" I asked while fidgeting my fingers.Kushina looked at Izuna as she thought,'Cute! But I won't teach you just because of that.'"Because Izuna-kun is a bad boy. He won't allow Big- Sister Kushina to even hug him.""What? Big-sister Kushina you will teach me Fuinjutsu if I allowed you to hug me right?"I hesitated for a while before I continued,"Uhun… Then Big-sister Kushina…you can hug me all you want?"I bit my lower lip as I finished these words."Yay! Now that's my Cute Izuna-kun for you."She bear-hugged me in her embrace as I struggled to breathe. Her big mounds were pressed against my face as I have a conflicted expression on my face,'Somehow, this is blissful but at the same time torturous. I am still in my childhood and my younger brother is low-profile.'I can't seem to put my hands on it. I shake my head to discard such thought, as I begin to struggle in her embrace as I am suffocating. Kushina frees me from her embrace as she speaks,"Ok! Izuna-kun I will teach you Fuinjutsu. But I will hug you every day as my payment."I hang my head down when I hear her speak these words but I still weakly nods to her."Ok! Izuna-kun lets go shopping first for starters."I tilt my head in confusion as I ask her,"Big-sister Kushina, why we have to go shopping to learn Fuinjutsu?"Kushina chuckles as she stretches her hands and starts to pull my cheeks as she replies,"Izuna-kun to learn Fuinjutsu we need fuinjutsu ink and paper. You can't learn Fuinjutsu without practicing it first. I don't have any ink with me because when you reach the Master level in Fuinjutsu you can substitute ink for Chakra. Chakra is a better material for Fuinjutsu seals."She puffs her cheeks as she shows her biceps,"Your Big-sister Kushina is about to reach Grandmaster in Fuinjutsu soon. See ain't I amazing, praise me."Rin begins to clap as I join her to please Kushina. Kushina nods to us as she speaks,"Ok! Rin and Izuna let's go to Ninja weapon shop to get some empty scrolls and Fuinjutsu ink. Later we can also buy some other stuff while we are at it."She turns in Minato's direction as she shouts loudly,"Minato!... Minato, I will borrow Rin and Izuna for a while."Minato nods to her as she carries both me and Rin in her arms and flickers away to Village.After five minutes, we arrive inside the Village. I begin to infuse some Chakra as I make some hand sign,'Light Style: Optical Camouflage'My body faded away as I turn invisible. Kushina is surprised when she sees me turning invisible as she asks,"Why you turned yourself Invisible Izuna Kun?"I reply to her,"Big-sister Kushina, I am skipping classes from the academy. I don't want any instructor from the academy to notice me here in the market and report to Hokage-sama about it.""Oh! I almost forgot about it. You are still an Academy student. Now that I notice it, you are quite amazing Izuna-kun for your age. Even Kakashi wasn't this amazing at your age."Rin is surprised by this remark as she asks,"Really big-sister Kushina, Izuna is this amazing."Kushina nods to Rin in approval. Rin murmur something,'For me, Kakashi is still the coolest ninja with that mask.'I was able to hear her as I sweat-drop at her imagination,'Why do girls like Bad-boy style more?'Kushina goes to the Ninja weapon store as she buys some Fuinjutsu ink stick and an inkstone to grind the ink stick. She also buys lots of empty scrolls for practice. After Kushina was done with the Ninja weapon store, she together with Rin went to nearby Cloth store as Kushina bought lots of new clothes for the next hour.I spent the entire next hour meditating. Luckily, I was spared from the torture every man with a sister, girlfriend, or wife has to suffer. The torture of carrying lots of shopping bags. Kushina takes out a scroll from her pocket and makes some hand signs.PuffAll of the clothes and bags disappear and are stored inside the scroll. I wondere if she had such a thing with her, why in the anime she tortures Minato by asking him to carry all of those shopping bags?'I also want one of these scrolls, they are way too convenient to use. Guess, I will ask big-sister Kushina later for one of these scrolls. In the future, I will be able to design one on my own.'After we returned back to the training ground, Kushina takes out the Ink Stick and Inkstone and hands then over to me."Izuna-kun you have to prepare your own ink while infusing it with your Chakra to smoothly control the Fuinjutsu seal later. I will tell you the correct proportion of ink and chakra to be used in the preparation of ink. Now, watch and learn.Kushina begins to grind the ink stick on inkstone while infusing her Chakra as she prepares Fuinjutsu ink.'Now, I want to graduate from the academy as soon as possible. I have to keep hiding my Sharingan from others. Once, I graduate from the academy and become a genin. I can freely use the Sharingan as I can make a bullshit reason for my Sharingan awakening. But, it would have been so damn easy to just observe the Chakra with Sharingan when Kushina is preparing the ink.'Kushina is finished preparing the ink. She takes out an empty scroll and begins to do calligraphy on the scroll."Izuna kun! Other than the preparation of ink, your calligraphy skills should be excellent too. When your calligraphy skills are good enough, then only will you be able to smoothly write a complete Fuinjutsu seal. Now, for next week you have to focus on preparing the ink and improving your calligraphy."To be honest, I had never done any Calligraphy in the past, and being a medical student made my writing even worst. My writing looks like Stampede of some insects and it has improved to barely readable level in this life. Hard days are coming for me, I really shouldn't have skipped the hand-writing improvement classes in my past life.
It has been six months since I last went to the academy. Today, I decide to visit the academy with my real body.The reason is pretty simple, Minato and his team are on a mission and coincidentally Uncle Sakumo is on a mission too. Now the entirety of this week would be free for me. So, I just decide to take a break from my harsh training and pay a visit to the academy.I have improved a lot in these six months with the help of Uncle Sakumo and Minato. Uncle Sakumo taught me Earth Release and Water Release jutsus which I mastered in three months of time. I spent the last two months honing my skills in kenjutsu under his guidance. I have got the basics down thanks to Shinku Yuhi. Now, I train in sword arts which are imparted to me by Uncle Sakumo. But my small body holds me back from performing some of the sword arts.I have made no further improvements in Genjutsu. I guess I need to evolve my Sharingan to three tomoes to further boost my skill. But I need some intense battles to further evolve my Sharingan. Kurenai also stopped training with me as none of us were improving further.I am most satisfied with my progress in Fuinjutsu seals and space element training. I visited the Weapon store to buy lots of Fuinjutsu Inksticks and empty scrolls. I trained using my shadow clones in the Calligraphy and Chakra ink creation. Unexpectedly, the creation of Chakra ink improved my Chakra Control by a lot. My calligraphy now looks similar to a professional Calligrapher of my previous life. But I still get rebuked by Kushina as she points out certain mistakes I am not even aware of. When I look at them closely with Sharingan, I curse myself for my blunder and improve in them.Space Element training is a bit different from what I expected. I expected Minato to train me in a place with many spatial disturbances or such. But he just handed me another Uzumaki scroll and a Namikaze scroll to practice. I guess I have read too many fantasy Wuxia novels which corrupted my thoughts a little.The Uzumaki scroll has a seal with kanji letter 'Lock'. When I insert my Chakra in this scroll, it forms lots of Fuinjutsu seals which seals the space around me. Minato just asked me to sit in the sealed space and meditate while trying to understand the space inside. I was confused as I asked how this works, he just shrugged off his shoulders as he replied,"This is how I practiced in Space element."The Namikaze scroll though was more interesting and wondrous than the Uzumaki Scroll. I channeled my Chakra in it and a piece of weird metal pops out from the scroll. As I touched the metal I felt a kind of strange feeling running through my body as some subtle information about space began to appear in my mind. My understanding of the space element rose for a while as I continued infusing my chakra in it. When I stopped infusing the Chakra, the information flow stopped.I asked Minato-san about the origin of this metal. He mentioned that it is a relic that was passed down in his clan as an heirloom. Some time in past his clan ancestors excavated the relic from some ruins. The relic was already broken when they found it. It was further ruined by various infights and attacks from external enemies. His Clan was also wiped because of this relic. He was the only remaining survivor and he was able to escape to Konoha with the scroll given by his father who was the Clan head of the now-extinct Namikaze clan.I wonder if it is similar to the Time Artifact Karasuki, scavenged by Konoha in the future. Well, that artifact was used by Urashiki to time travel maybe this artifact has a similar history.I entered the class and went to my usual seat. I start to gaze outside the academy as I am happy for the successful completion of my Optical Illusion Jutsu. Now, I have covered my Sharingan with the illusion as I keep it activated almost every moment. There is almost no Chakra usage in keeping this jutsu active.I start to observe my classmates with my Sharingan. My gaze fell on an Aburame Clan member and it freaked me out. Insects too many insects, that guy had too many insects crawling inside his body. I slowly inspect every member of the class as my eyes stop on a particular girl. The girl as if sensing someone's stare on her turns around and looks at me. Both of us stare for a while as I am in shock to see this girl here,'The girl has straight, purple hair reaching to her waist. Her brown eyes stared curiously at me.'The girl tilts her head in confusion for being stared by me. I nod my head to her in greeting. She is perplexed at my nod as she points at herself with a finger. I just chuckle at her and then continue to look around.The girl is none other than Yugao Uzuki. In the original story, she joined Anbu shortly after graduating from the academy. She is a sensor-type ninja and I was really surprised when I first noticed her in the same class as me.Well, she is really cute and I will certainly date her if I get the opportunity. Well in the original story she fell in love with Hayate Gekko because the latter taught her Kenjutsu. Well, I can do the same and teach her Kenjutsu. She will also serve as a good training partner for me.The class starts as usual with nothing new to learn. Honestly, I am disappointed by the current education system of the academy as they only push the propaganda of Will of Fire to students. The Will of Fire is a great idea but it had long been twisted by the whims of elders and other senile geezers for their benefits which they whitewash with Konoha's safety motto and casually wipes out a clan because of their fear.Well, I have decided to take a day off, so I will just enjoy touring around the village. I walk out of the academy and lazily stroll toward the market. I pass by a park as I see some children of my age playing with each other. Most of the kids are civilians with a few clan members. I walk to one of the swings and apply some wind chakra to the swing and I close my eyes as the swing move to and fro on its own.I am enjoying the breeze from the swing as I recall my childhood in my previous life. My parents would usually take me for a walk in the park as my father would give me a ride on the swing. I lost my parents in my previous life and almost lost them in this life. I will become strong and protect them.The To and Fro motion of my swing halts as I open my eyes to know the reason. A ten-year-old kid with a genin headband holds the chain of swing in his hand as he stops the swing.I frown on seeing this as my thoughts began to race,'If I am not wrong, then this guy is the big brother of one of the academy students who pissed their pants in the fear.'As if right on cue, the four civilian kid starts to surround me as their leader mocks me,"What will you do now? We have surrounded you. My big brother is a ninja, a genuine ninja with genin rank."The big guy flashes his forehead protector to me as he looks at me with a grin."You have some guts to bully my younger brother in the academy. Now I will see how you will be able to do so in the future."I shake my head at their idiocy as I simply mutter,'Genjutsu: Sharingan'I start to walk away from the civilian kids as I decide to try some more street food. The civilian kids perplexedly look at my departing back as the leader start to shake his elder brother,"Big brother that guy is running away. Catch him and beat him to take our revenge."Other kids also join the leader as they continue to shake the genin."Argh…You bastard. I will beat you like a bitch!"The genin yells loudly as he starts to assault the younger kids. The younger kids become terrified when their elder brother starts to beat them. They frantically run around the village as the Genin guy chases them and smack them every time one of them is caught by him. This continues for a while as yelling and crying of kids echoed in Konoha's streets.
I spent another two months training with Minato in Space element and the basics of 'Flying Thunder God' Technique. Minato also progressed well in the creation of Rasengan with my help. I just guided him in the right direction and he figured everything by himself. Minato has completed the initial and middle phase of Rasengan Creation and he is currently stuck at the Final Phase of the Rasengan.The Jutsu is still unstable and he needs to contain it in a sphere to stabilize it. He is still figuring out the way and I think he will successfully create the Rasengan in another two months.My Fuinjutsu training with Kushina is going very well. In these two months, I have reached Expert level in Fuinjutsu thanks to my shadow clones who painted my room black with so many seals. I can now easily create some basic seals like silencing seals, storage seals, and even Paper Bombs. Well, I guess that saves me some expenses.My Kenjutsu training is also coming along well, I have learned all the Techniques taught by Sakumo. He was surprised to see me progressing at such a rapid pace.Now, I have decided to graduate from the Academy as I want to explore the world outside Konoha while on missions. I will be six years old in another month. I have to just inform my parents about my decision. After academy classes were over,I went to my parents who were at home. I directly went to the living room where father was cleaning his ninja gear as I spoke,"Father, I want to apply for early graduation from the academy."Akira nods to Izuna as he replies,"So, you think you are ready for the outside world."I nod my head to him as he continues,"Ok, then let me test your skills. Let us move to the Uchiha Training Ground."The mother comes out from the kitchen as she wipes her hand with a towel. She speaks to us,"Oh! My Izuna has grown so big now. Mama will come with you to watch you defeat your father. After all, my Izuna is a genius."Aiko affectionately hugs Izuna as she caresses his back."Ok! Let's go, mother. I want to show you how much I have grown."Aiko chuckles as he replies,"Ara! Then let us hurry to the Training Ground."All of us arrive at Uchiha Training Ground as the mother stands in a corner, while me and father face each other. I have fought with Minato-san multiple times in the previous seven months and now I have plenty of battle experience. What I lack is the real life and death combat experience."Izuna, I will fight with you without using my Sharingan. If during the spar you forced me to activate Sharingan or able to defeat me with a lethal blow, then I will admit defeat and you will win. Also, I will suppress my strength to a genin level as we fight I will progressively raise my strength to test your limits.""Yes, father I will defeat you," Izuna replies."Now let's start the fight."I immediately make some hand signs as I spew a giant ball of fire at father,'Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu'Father jumps and dodges my fireball technique, without giving him any time to breathe I throw some kunais with explosive tags attached to them at father. Before the tags could explode a lightning bolt incinerated the tag as a lightning whip appears in father's hand.'Lightning Style: Lightning Whip Jutsu'Father swing the lightning whip toward me as I summersault and dodge the whip. Father throws shurikens at me while I was in mid-air. I quickly make some hand signs as I inhale large volumes of air and then quickly exhale it.'Wind Style: Wind Pump'I dodge the shurikens but they continue to chase me as they were attached with a string controlled by Father. By now the father is using Chunnin level of Strength as he is fighting against me. I take out the Chakra Blade from my back as I infuse it with Lightning Chakra as it shines with a blinding blue light. I swing the Chakra Blade at the incoming Kunai.'Kenjutsu Style: Lightning Cleaver'A blue slash of lightning is launched from the blade as it collides with the shurikens and snaps the strings. Izuna dashes toward Akira as he mutters,'Kenjutsu style: Howling Moon Blade dance'Multiple images of the chakra blade appeared as they formed a full moon. The blade slashed Akira as a small fissure appeared on the ground.PuffWith a puff, Akira disappeared from the spot as a wooden log appeared in his place.'Crap! Substitution'Izuna immediately turned as he infuses Chakra on a seal at the hilt of his Chakra blade.'Kenjutsu Style: Weighted Assault'The chakra blade slams on Akira who appear out of nowhere. The weight of the strike pushes Akira back as Akira blocks the strike with a Kunai.Akira jumps back to disengage and immediately make hand signs.'Wind Style: Reaper's Scythe'Akira spews out a large scythe of compressed wind as it charges toward Izuna while slashing nearby trees.Izuna ducks to dodge the scythe but another scythe crisscrossing with the previous one appears in his vision.'Fuck! Father is serious.'Izuna makes two shadow clones that launch the main body above the scythes like a catapult. Izuna is flung in the air as he searches for his father's whereabouts.Akira appears behind Izuna as he attacks Izuna with a kunai coated in Wind Chakra. Izuna is able to block the attack by using the Chakra Blade but the force slams him in the ground.Izuna gets out of the ground in a haggard state as he curses in mind,'Damnit! Father, it is just an academy graduation test, not a Chunnin Exam.'"I lose!"Izuna puts back the Chakra blade in the sheath as he walks towards his mother.Aiko is worried to see Izuna in such a state as she reprimands Akira,"Akira, he is only aiming for graduation from Academy. Is there any need for you to be so harsh on him? Look at my poor child, how much you have hurt him? No dinner for you today."Akira sweat-drops at this as he starts to explain,"It is for his own good. I just wanted to test his growth as a Ninja and he surprised me. He forced me to use the strength of a Jounin. I guess he has grown too fast and I wanted to warn him to not grow complacent and ignore training."Hmph! Aiko ignores him as she carries Izuna on her back despite his protest."So, Father can I graduate early from the academy?""Yes, yes! You can graduate early. But….."Akira is shot down by the scrutinizing gaze of Aiko as he gulps his saliva and the words stop in his mouth.--Next day in the academy,Akira and Izuna walk towards the academy as Izuna will apply for early graduation in the presence of his father. Akira and Izuna enter the academy as Akira leads Izuna towards the principal's office.The principal is a fat man with blue eyes and curly brown hair. He wore the standard Konoha jounin uniform with a red scarf around his neck. He wore a large red sash on his uniform with the kanji 'Fire' on it, determining his position as the academy principal.He places down the paperwork he held in his hand on the table and asks us,"How can I help you, Mr. Akira Uchiha?"Akira points toward Izuna as he explains,"It is not me who needs your help rather Izuna. Izuna wants to graduate early from the academy and I think his skills are enough to pass him as a genin and thus graduate from the academy."The principle nods at both of us before he replies,"Well, I can't take such an important decision alone. I would have to inform the Hokage-sama about it. If the Hokage-sama agrees with your request then we can proceed with the exam. But bear in mind, since you are graduating early the exam would be much tougher than the real graduation exam.""I am ready for the exam. I think I can pass the examination." Izuna speaks with confidence brimming on his face."Hum! If you think you are confident enough then I will immediately write a request latter to Hokage-sama and we can decide the exam date after the approval."The principal start to write a letter with a brush. After the letter is completed, he takes out a seal from his drawer. He applies the seal to the paper and rings the office bell.A chunnin instructor enters the principal's office. The principal hands over the letter to him and instruct him,"Pass this letter to Hokage-sama. Inform him that it is an urgent case and he should check the letter as soon as possible."The chunnin nods to the principal and flickers out from the office. Father nods to me and both of us walk out of the office as I wait for the approval.
