A/N: Hello again! I'm actually surprised at how positive you all are about this story. When I posted the first chapter I was nervous since there isn't a lot on the konoha 11's parents, so I'm basically just winging it. Anyways, here's the next chapter of Fire and Blood. Enjoy!

FIRE AND BLOOD

CHAPTER TWO

THE ACADEMY

Posted 5/18/17

"Miho, the academy starts soon." Mother spoke up softly, removing her gaze from the book she was reading. "Do you know if you want to be a Kunoichi or not?"

"A Kunoichi?" I asked confused, because she never mentioned it before. Perhaps it had to do with the ninja?

"Yes." Mother nodded with a serious look in her eyes. "A Kunoichi is a female Shinobi. Shinobi protect our village from any harm." She explained before quietly adding, "Your father was a Shinobi."

"My father...?" My eyes widened as I looked at her. This was the first time she had ever spoke about him. It was as if he was some big secret. Maybe he was famous? "Who is my father?"

Mother tensed slightly before hesitantly responding. "Who was your father." She corrected quietly.

"Your father was a very brave Shinobi who had gotten killed on a tough mission. He was sent to assassinate a very dangerous person. He completed the mission, but died in the process." Her voice was firm, meaning that the subject was to be dropped.

"If I become a Kunoichi… would I have to kill someone?" I didn't think I could kill someone, because that was wrong and against my morals. But I don't know, considering i've never been in a situation where I would need to. Maybe it wasn't wrong here, but it certainly was in my world. And why would they be raising children to become murders? What type of fucked up world was this?

"I suppose that all depends." Mother answered honestly with a small shrug. "If you're strong enough to stop your enemy, instead of killing them. I'm not too sure though, since I'm a civilian."

I knew I didn't have much time to think about this since the academy started soon. I can find away to avoid killing if I knock my opponent out, but would I be forced to kill if it came down to it? If anything, I'll go to the academy for self defense. Since my father's identity seemed to be kept secret, the only chance I would have to figure it out would be to become a Shinobi so I could get hidden information that was only seen by the eyes of those with status.

It was the smartest way to survive in this world. What were civilians supposed to do if someone attacked the village? They couldn't fight, because they didn't have the skills to do so. They couldn't run, because Shinobi are faster. And they couldn't hide, because Shinobi could easily find them.

This is a world full of wars. If you were a civilian, then what could you do? Nothing. All you could do is watch the people around you die and pray you make it out alive. But if I became a Shinobi I would have a chance. I could survive and protect those around me. But I was a healer not a killer. My whole life was about saving people's lives, not ending them.

"Is there a way I can help people?" I asked her. Since I was already a doctor in my old life it wouldn't be hard to learn how they do it here, considering I had such a large grasp on healing as it is. "Like a healer?"

"Ah." Mother made a slight tick noise and gave a nod with a small smile. "Yes, you're thinking of medical ninjutsu."

"Medical ninjutsu?" I wondered out loud.

"Yes, Miho. Medical ninjutsu." Mother repeated giving my head a pat. "We use it to heal wounds, get rid of poisons, etc. Basically we use it to save lives. It's difficult though for some because it takes strong chakra control in order to do it."

"Do you think I could?" I asked, slightly nervous of her answer. If I could heal again, would be the best possible outcome. I would be useless if I couldn't kill someone, but perhaps I can make that up by healing.

"Hmm." Mother hummed quietly as she thought about it. "Yes, I think you could. You're very intelligent for your age. Some would call you a prodigy actually. With your brain you'd do just fine, I just don't know about your chakra."

My mind was made and it wouldn't be changed. "I'm going to be a medical nin." I stated firmly, making mother laugh.

For the rest of that afternoon mother told me stories about Lady Tsunade who happened to be the best healer the leaf has ever seen.

The academy was boring, especially on the first day. They mainly just got all the students into one hall and ranted about the rules and whatnot. Then the third Hokage came and gave a speech about The Will Of Fire and dismissed us all for lunch before we would get told our classes. We returned to the giant hallway as they begun calling out names belonging to classes.

A man with a shiny bald head stood in front of all of us with a glare. He had green eyes and dark bags under them. "Class 32A will consists of these following children."

"Aburame Shibi!"

A boy with fuzzy looking dark hair walked forward. He had a long sleeved tannish gray shirt that covered half of his face and dark sunglasses. He stood next to the teacher and pushed his sunglasses higher on his nose.

"Akimichi Chouza!"

Another boy stepped forward. I recognized him from my first birthday, though I shouldn't remember it. Perks of being an adult in the body of a five year old. He had red hair and purple squiggly lines on his cheeks. He stood next to the Aburame as he ate a bag of chips.

"Hyuga Hiashi and Hyuga Hizashi!"

Wow two names at once? They must be special.

Two boys stepped forward, twins. They too were at her birthday. The Hyuga twins stood next to the Akimichi and glared at anyone who made eye contact with them.

I could already tell how much fun everyone's gonna have with those two.

"Inuzuka Tsume!"

This time a girl stepped forward. She also happened to be at my birthday. She had short messy brown hair that went into different directions and had a sharp tooth poking out of her smirk. She joined the line and stood there with her arms crossed as she smirked at everyone.

Its slightly suspicious that most of the people at my birthday just happened to be in this class. Well, not all of them yet.

"Namikaze Minato!"

Once again, a boy stepped forward. He was the boy at my party who liked my hair. He had bright sun colored hair and even brighter blue eyes. Those damn eyes that I'm still jealous about. He gave everyone a smile and slight wave as he stood next to the Inuzuka.

"Nara Shikaku!"

Another boy stepped forward, well, it was more like he dragged forward. He walked slow and had a slight slouch that made him seem very tired. Or just lazy. He had dark hair that was set into a spiky ponytail and dark eyes. Just like at my birthday, it seemed like the only thing he wanted to do was nap.

"Uchiha Fugaku!"

A boy stepped forward. Once again, exactly like my birthday, He had a deep frown and seemed to be glaring at nothing yet everything at the same time. He had brown hair and onyx eyes. He walked to the line, looking as if he wanted to kill someone.

Watanabe Miho!"

I stepped forward at the sound of my name, giving a small closed eye smile and polite bow before I stood in line.

"Yamanaka Inoichi!"

Another boy, seriously though what's up with all the boys here? Anyways, he was the last one that went to my party. He had dull blonde hair and pupil-less blue eyes. Once again, he was observing everyone. Only this time, he seemed more social. Offering a few smiles.

He called a few other names but I didn't pay attention much. Well, until he called my name that is. Now I understood why they all went to my birthday. Most likely because we would all would be in the same class.

"That is all the students belonging to class 32A!" The man said as he turned to us, giving us a hard glare. "Follow me and I'll take you to your classroom."

We all gave him a nod as he began to walk. After a few twists and turns through hallways we made it to a class room. He knocked on the door twice. Another man opened the class door. Unlike the man that had brought us here, this one seemed a little nicer.

He had long blue hair that was put into a loose ponytail and dark brown eyes. He was wearing the normal chunin vest attire and had a small smile on his face as he greeted us.

The man from before turned to us again after he had said something to the new man. A glare was still on his face. "This is Tanaka Sora! He will be your teacher for the next few years until you graduate! I expect you all to treat him with respect. Got that!?" He shouted.

Once again, we all gave him a nod.

"What was that?!" He glared. "I can't hear you!"

Jesus, these teachers were like military Sargent's. I mean, what happened to this guy today? Why was he so angry?

"Yes!" We all said loudly, hoping this man would stop screaming at us. He gave us a small smirk and walked away, giving Tanaka a nod.

"Well, class. Come on in." He gave us a smile, opening the door wider for all of us to walk in. He made us stand in a line in front of the classroom. He stood in front of us with a polite smile. "Students, you may call me Sora Sensei. We will have arranged seats. As I call out your name you will stand next to me and tell us a few things about yourself. After you finish introducing yourself you may go to your desk. Understood?"

Assigned seats on the first day? First we get yelled at like we're in the military, now we're getting assigned seats? How strict is this school?

Nevertheless, we all gave a nod of understanding.

"Aburame Shibi. Row one, seat one." Unlike the other guy, he didn't scream out names, he simply just called them.

Aburame Shibi stood forward, raising his sunglasses on his nose. He talked quietly. We all had to be dead silent in order to hear this guy. "My name is Aburame Shibi. Call me Shibi. Why? Because Aburame is what everyone calls my father. I like all types of insects but I prefer the kikaichu beetles that live within me. Why? Because they are my comrades." That was all he said before taking a seat.

"Akimichi Chouza. Row one, seat two."

"My name is Akimichi Chouza!" He started as he stood in front of the students with a nervous smile as he stopped eating. "I like pork! I'll still eat any type of food you give me though! Hehe. Well, not everything. Vegetables are kinda gross." He cringed at the thought of vegetables. "Just call me Chouza!" He ended his intro by walking to his seat.

"Hyuga Hiashi. Row one, Seat three."

One of the twins stood forward. His voice was blank. "I am Hyuga Hiashi. I am the clan heir of the Hyuga clan. I have a twin. I do not care what you call me." Was all he said before sitting. This guy sure had a stick up his ass.

"Hyuga Hizashi. Row two, seat one."

The other twin stepped up. "I am Hyuga Hizashi. I am the twin of Hyuga Hiashi. You may call me whichever you prefer." This guy kind of had a stick up his ass, it just wasn't as high up as his brothers, or he just didn't care about the introduction and wanted to get it over with.

"Inuzuka Tsume. Row two, seat two."

The girl with the red triangle marks on her face stood forward. Since she was closer I noticed a small wolf looking dog on her shoulder. She gave us a large grin. "Names Inuzuka Tsume, call me Tsume. I have a ninken," She points to the dog on her shoulder, "His name is Kuromaru. My clan is known for working mainly with dogs. We also have a few vets. I like fighting and training to use my clan techniques." She finished, taking a seat.

Were all these kids using chakra? Since my mom is a civilian, she couldn't teach me how to use it. Sigh. Only if my father was around.

"Namikaze Minato. Row two, seat three."

"I'm Namikaze Minato. Please just call me Minato." The blonde smiled. Up close he was decently cute for his age, he was obviously gonna get a bunch of fangirls when he was older. "I like to learn and train. My dream is to become the next Hokage." He gave a smile again as students gaped at him while he took his seat.

"Nara Shikaku. Row three, seat one."

The boy groaned as he dragged his feet forward. "Just call me Shikaku." He sighed. "I like napping and shogi." He dragged himself to his seat, lazily putting a hand under his chin.

"Uchiha Fugaku. Row three, seat two."

"My name is Uchiha Fugaku. You may call me Fugaku, considering how many Uchiha there are. I like learning about my clan's Dojutsu. That is all." He said, glaring at all of us with a frown before taking his seat.

"Watanabe Miho. Row three, seat three."

"Hello! My name is Watanabe Miho, but please call me Miho. I like reading and learning. I wish to become a medical nin and saves lives." I gave a soft smile before bowing politely. "Please take care of me!"

What can I say? Mother taught me to always be polite.

I took a seat next to a blushing Minato and looked forward as the last student begins to introduce himself.

"Yamanaka Inoichi. Row four, seat one."

"I am Yamanaka Inoichi. Please call me Inoichi. I like to learn about my clans mind technique." He smiled before taking a seat.

"Good." Sora Sensei smiled. "Now today we will be going over our class schedule and what we'll be learning over the years."
