Chapter 2: Her Academic days

Three years have passed since Mito's revelation of who her parents were and the council's and village's surprise at the demon now being a girl. All the shops in town still tried to charge her by an enormous overtax, almost all the villagers still glared at her, and almost everyone told their children to stay away. Mito had finally turned eight and was about to start the ninja academy starting in the next school year. She was giddy with excitement but also sadness knowing that no one else except for the Sandaime was happy about her attending the academy. The jinchuriki shook her head to rid it of the sad thoughts and focus on her current study of fuinjutsu. Over the three years she proved to be a true prodigy of fuinjutsu. She was currently focusing on the first book on master level fuinjutsu, and it was the most complicated one she had ever read. Mito then heard a clock ring signaling that another hour had past. She marked where she was in the book and closed it before heading to the hot spring to relax.

Time skip to academy first day

It was now the first day of the academy, Mito quickly ran to the building ignoring the glares sent her way by the villagers, she found her mother's diary one day going through the house and it told about how she was made fun of during the academy ad how she was an ice princess as people called her, since then Mito adopted the same act. She soon entered in the large building heading towards the first year classroom. She quietly entered and chose a seat in the middle of the classroom. She then got out a small book with a green cover, this book was her master fuinjutsu book, she also paid attention to her surroundings as she always suspected even in her own village that she would be attacked at any moment, this was truly a sad fact as no child should have to constantly look over their shoulder expecting some sort of attack to come. Slowly but surely the other students began to trickle in she noted that there were quite a lot of clan heirs in the same class as her. There was roughly thirty children in her class seven of them clan heirs much like herself, the rest were civilians who wanted to become shinobi or kunoichi.

The bell promptly rang at eight o'clock sharp. Two male adults entered the room one with a scar horizontally across his nose and his hair tied in a high spiky ponytail, the other was a male shorter than the first with short silver hair. The first male with the scar cleared his throat trying to gain attention, it didn't work as the children ignored him, he then placed his hands into a chain of hand seals before shouting at them to shut up.

" My name is Iruka Umino or just Iruka-sensei to you all," he then gestured to his right," this is Mizuki Toji, he is my assistant and still a sensei to all of you."

"We will now go around the room and everyone will say their names and tell the class a little about themselves."

The class began starting on the left and going up and down the rows till it reached the last civilian. The girl wore a red dress and had long pink hair," hello my name is Sakura Haruno, my mother is on the civilian council and I want to become someone's wife in the future." at this she looked towards a boy with onyx black hair shaped like a duck's butt and let out a very creepy giggle.

Mito rolled her eyes at this thinking, "Oh great another fan girl believing that she will have a prince charming save her from everything."

Next was a girl with a yin-yang symbol on the back of a cream jacket who had dark blue hair and white pupil less eyes, "M-My name I-is Hinata Hyuga a-and I wa-want to unite the t-two si-sides of my cl-clan one day" she said in a small almost whispering voice. She then sat down then a boy wearing a long coat with it's collar covering his face and sunglasses blocking his eyes stood up.

"My name is Shino Aburame I want to create a new breed of kikaichu that is more effective than my clan's current breed." as he sat down all the civilian girls and one clan heir let out a disgusted ew. Mito though nodded at his aspiration something that he noticed and nodded back.

The next to stand up was a boy with black hair tied in a ponytail resembling a pineapple. "Troublesome, my name is Shikamaru Nara, I like cloud watching and shougi." the boy finished and sat down laying his head down on the desk.

Next was a very chubby Boy who had a bag of chips in one hand along with the kanji for food on his shirt," my name's Chouji Akimichi and I like all kinds of food." He then sat down and began munching on his chips again.

The next to stand up was a boy with red triangles on his face, he was wearing a gray hoodie with fur poking out around the edges, "My name is Kiba Inuzuka and I want to be great ninja." he said finishing with a face splitting grin.

Next was our heroine Mito Uzumaki who had vibrant red hair, violet eyes inherited from her mother, and a round face, "my name is Mito Uzumaki, I want to be the first female hokage." Mito said in an ice cold tone that sent shivers down almost everyone's spine except for two people the Inuzuka heir and the Hyuga heiress.

After Mito was a girl with platinum blond hair and all purple outfit, "My name is Ino Yamanaka and I want to marry a great man in the future." The girl like almost every other girl except for Mito and Hinata looked towards The onyx haired brooder.

Finally a boy with onyx black hair and eyes stood up, "My name is Sasuke Uchiha, and I want to beat my Brother someday." Afterward he sat down and interlocked his fingers and placed his chin atop them. The fan girls swooned at this action while the boys shot him looks of envy.

"Alright then," Iruka began, "starting today all of you are students here at the ninja academy of konoha. You all are the next generation of the village, I know you will all make the village proud in the future." The scarred man finished just as the bell rang signaling that the day was over. The students stayed a little longer talking to each other while the instructors left, Mito closed her book and put it back into a seal on the back of her plated glove before getting up to leave.

Just as she was about to get up the Inuzuka boy challenged the Uchiha heir to a Taijutsu fight out back, immediately the class got excited, the Uchiha just smirked and walked out to the ring. The two stood on opposite sides and waited for the civilian referee to signal the fight to start. The two students charged at each other, the uchiha hitting Kiba first knocking him back. Kiba though just got up again and charged head on attempting to strike the uchiha with animal like ferocity. Slash after slash Kiba attacked while Sasuke just blocked or dodged. The Inuzuka heir becoming quickly frustrated that his attacks weren't hitting became sloppier and sloppier. Sasuke then went on the offensive kneeing, punching, and striking the Inuzuka knocking him out. The Uchiha heir just stood there with an arrogant smirk over the defeated form of Kiba, he then walked off taking his fan club with him, the other clan heirs dispersed and Hinata went back with her guard. Mito stayed there and walked over to the fallen boy after everyone was gone before focusing healing chakra over her palms. Her hands took a green glow to them before slowly hovering over the injured boy. This was the mystical palm technique, a healing jutsu. She then wrote a note telling him that he did an excellent job in the fight before walking off.

Kiba awoke about half an hour later still feeling sore but not as bad as he felt as he was knocked out, he then patted his body noticing that he had no bruises before seeing a note in elegant hand writing saying that he did an excellent job in the fight. Kiba thought that he was pathetic in the fight but apparently someone else didn't. He then sniffed the note noting that it smelt of hot springs, before heading home.

Next day

Everyone came back to class the next day feeling bored, while Kiba was still sore and the girls giggled as Sasuke just sat at his desk just brooding. The bell rang and Iruka walked in the class became quiet remembering yesterday's big head incident.

"Alright class today we'll begin with the history of Konoha. In the time of warring clans our Shodaime Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha united to form out village Konoha. The Shodaime grew the forest's around Konoha using his Mokuton. The two created the village system that all other hidden villages use today. Several years after the formation of the village Madara left after not being chosen as the Hokage."

At this one of the civilians raised their hands before Iruka called on them, "That seems like a very stupid reason for leaving the village why did he do that Sensei?"

"I don't know Madara's reasons were all his own, moving on the two later fought at the valley of the end where Hashirama killed Madara and returning to the village and announcing that his brother Tobirama Senju as the second Hokage or better known as the Nidaime. We'll start on the Nidaime's history tomorrow as it is just about time for lunch." Iruka said just as the bell rang.

The students trickled out of the classroom to find an area to eat most choose to eat outside while Mito went up to the roof following behind her was Hinata as she didn't want to be alone and she felt safer next Mito than the other students in the academy. Mito noticed another student following her but ignored as she walked up to the roof. Mito reached the roof and sat down before speaking, "I know you're following me step out and let me see you if you plan to attack it won't work." She finished as Hinata stepped out of the doorway. Hinata poked her fingers together and looked down as she tried to gather the courage to speak,"u-um ca-can I e-eat up h-here wi-with you?" Hinata finished with her stutter. Mito studied the bluenette for a few moments before nodding.

Hinata sat down and the two began to eat in silence before Mito broke the ice, "Not to seem rude but why do you have such a stutter?" Mito asked in much warmer voice than yesterday thinking that the Hyuga heir might be afraid of her. Hinata looked down and once again poked her fingers together, "I-i hav-have a stu-stutter because of m-my l-lack of c-confidence du-due to a ki-kidnapping I-in the p-past." she said in a quiet voice just barely above a whisper. Mito nodded before speaking,"I see, guess we'll have to work on it then, do you want to be friends?" Mito said with the last part being in a small voice. Hinata Nodded furiously since this was the first person not to make fun of her for her shyness and lack of confidence. Mito let a small smile before speaking, "Well then Hinata I'm Mito Uzumaki it's a pleasure to meet you." extending her hand after speaking. "It's n-nice to m-meet you Mito I-I'm Hinata Hyuga I-it's a pl-pleasure to m-meet y-you." Hinata said extending her hand into Mito's. The two shook before giggling. Mito finishing first before speaking," Never though I'd make my first friend like that." Hinata giggled in response before responding, "Ne-Neither d-did I."

The two finished eating and making small talk before heading back to class and sitting next to each other. The rest of the class slowly came, most were fearing another history lesson while others had different ideas in their minds. Iruka and Mizuki walked back in just as the bell rang to begin the afternoon lesson. Iruka clapped to gain the class's attention, "Alright, alright everyone we'll now begin on the Nidaime's reign as the Hokage. As the Nidaime he created several institutions that are used in all the villages namely the academy, anbu, and the chunin exams, he also created the civilian council. Much later in his reign he went to Kumo to make a peace treaty only to be attacked and killed by the Kinkaku forces after killing Kinkaku and Ginkaku while his team escaped, his team was composed of our current Hokage and his advisers." Iruka lectured as the class was intrigued that the current Hokage was this old, though Mito had her mind in a different thought seeing Kumo as a warmongering land. Iruka stopped for a moment to catch his breath before speaking again, "Next was the Sandaime our current Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi one of the few shinobi to live through all three wars, he is often refereed to by most other villages as The God of Shinobi."

Iruka Stopped once again to allow the information to sit with the children before speaking one final time, "Finally there was our latest Hokage, the Yondaime Minato Namikaze often called the Kiiroi Senko or better known as The Yellow Flash due to his instantaneous teleportation technique. He fought of an entire battalion of Iwa shinobi in a matter of seconds using his technique and anyone that saw him said they only saw a flash of yellow before the battalion was defeated. He later became the fourth Hokage only for his reign to be cut short by the kyubi attacking, he along with the rest of the village's shinobi defeated and killed the kyubi he died after the battle due to his injuries being to severe." He finished the history lesson. The students were all in a state of awe one for a different reason as she was listening to the history of her father.

The bell then rang once more signaling the end of the day. The class departed everyone retiring to their respective homes. Kiba though for the life of him couldn't place the smell of the note from yesterday to anyone in the classroom as his nose wasn't sharp enough yet.

Once again the students gathered in the classroom Hinata and Mito sitting by themselves as no one else wanted to sit next to the ice princess in the past day anyone who tried was beaten up by said ice princess. Kiba tried sitting next to them by got his butt kicked by Mito along with any other male or female who tried to sit next to her. Most of the civilian's and one clan heir though teased her relentlessly to the point where it could be called bullying yet Mito took it all in stride never showing any signs of it affecting her.

Iruka entered the classroom and began his daily history lecture ending it right before lunch. After lunch the classroom rejoined before Iruka made an announcement. "Today we'll be starting Taijutsu matches follow me and Mizuki out back." as he finished the students stood up and followed their teaches to the field.

"here is how these matches will work, first it will be two and only two people against each other at a time, second the match goes on till either I or Mizuki calls it, finally do not go for maiming or crippling blows unless you want to be thrown out of the academy." Iruka said in a firm voice leaving no room for complaints.

"First up is Sakura Haruno vs. Hinata Hyuga." Iruka called as the two girls got onto the field. The two combatants got into a starting position and Iruka signaled them to start. The pink haired girl charged Hinata not fully thinking who she was up against. Hinata prepared herself and stuck disabling the tenketsu in Sakura's left arm making it go numb. "H-How did you make my arm go numb this is Taijutsu!" The girl screeched.

"H-Haruno-s-san I a-am a Hyuga w-we spe-specialize in sh-shutting of-off t-tenketsu." Hinata said with all the courage she could gather and in a louder voice than she used to use. Hinata charged once again knocking out the tenketsu in her other arm and one of her legs. Iruka called the match in Hinata's favor.

The two fighters left the ring as Iruka called the next two, "Mito Uzumaki and Ino Yamanaka please come to the ring." Just as Mito passed Kiba he got a whiff of her smell noting that it smelled the same as the note he awoke with a few days ago.

The two fighters got into their ready stance, Mito holding an open palm back and a closed fist forward while Ino just had a sloppy fist in front of her. Ino charged at Mito trying to strike her while Mito weaved through the sloppy punches with ease and striking Ino in hard to block areas only minutes after Mito's "dance" finished Ino only fell down to her knees not willing to fight anymore. Iruka called the match to Mito and the two fighter left the ring.

Kiba was absolutely mesmerized by the Uzumaki heir's Taijutsu, the style looked much more of a dance than a fighting style. He then saw the damage done by the so called "dance" and really couldn't call it anything other than a deadly dance.

Kiba was soon snapped out of his thoughts as Iruka called the next two fighters which happened to be Sasuke and Chouji. Chouji lost spectacularly as Sasuke decimated him with speed and power. Next was Kiba and Shino the two fought hard with their clan's styles only for Shino to lose after running out of stamina. Shikamaru fought a random civilian and won barely. The class was soon dismissed afterward.

Several months later

A few months had gone by in the academy, the daily taijutsu matches continued, Kiba was beaten several times by the Uzumaki heiress. The day was just ending and Kiba was going to ask her why she practiced so hard all the time. The heiress in question immediately left the classroom as the bell rang and Kiba followed behind her. Mito ran across town avoiding the heavily trafficked streets. Kiba followed her scent the best he could wondering where she was going. He soon found himself smelling a heavy smell of fresh earth before looking up. He saw a sign that read Konoha's cemetery, a place he shuddered remembering about as it was the only place where he saw his mother cry. Kiba's mother Tsume Inuzuka was a proud strong woman yet there was one place where she would break down and cry, that place was her husband's grave. Her husband did not die during the kyubi attack but during an escort mission as he was defending the client from bandits he was killed. Kiba suddenly had second thoughts about following Mito but continued on slowly following the scent. After a few minutes he saw the vibrant red hair of Mito and quickly hid behind a tree. Just far enough away where he could still hear the Uzumaki escort

Mito was currently kneeling by a grave as she had just laid flowers down upon it,"hey kaa-san it's Mito here again. I've been following your advice and putting up a tough and ice cold approach to everyone, but it's hard you know. I do have a close friend though, her name's Hinata, she still really shy but I know she has a lot courage just waiting to be released, then there's one other, Kiba, the boy annoys me to no end but he keeps trying, I want to be his friend because of his stubbornness but it's hard to when he continually annoys me with said stubbornness."

"i-i had no idea." Kiba said out loud only realizing that he revealed himself to Mito.

"You how dare you! That was a private conversation with my dead mother!" Mito shouted with eye beginning to tear. Mito just broke down with all the stress from the village and just started crying. Kiba ran over and wrapped his arms around her.

"Let me go! Just let me go.i-i can't do this 's too much" Mito cried and eventually stopped struggling, the two stayed that way until Mito finished. Mito stood up first her face held a constant blush, "um Thank you Kiba, si-since you heard all that do you want to be my friend?" Mito asked in a small voice fearing the answer.

Kiba gave her a face splitting grin before answering," Of course I still want to be your friend, its what I've been trying to do since the start of the year!" Mito's blush only got deeper with his declaration. The two ninja in training then left the cemetery and returned to their respective homes.

The next day

The students once gathered at the academy some in a better mood than ever. The whole class was surprised to see Kiba sitting next to the Ice princess and her not beating him up. The day went along like any other history then sparring. The children proceeded to go home except for one uchiha, Sasuke stayed behind and went to one of the training fields.

Several hours later

Sasuke started going back home, once he reached the clan district he noticed it was eerily quiet like no one was there, he quickly ran home and opened the door, he ran up to his parents room and opened the door as fast as he could. As soon as he did he saw his brother running his sword through his father and his mother already bleeding out on the floor.

"Ni-Nii-san why are you doing this?" Sasuke cried out.

"simple I want to test my limits and I'm not disappointed." Itachi said with no emotion before ripping his sword out of his father and walking over to Sasuke. "Tsukuyomi" Itachi said as his sharingan morphed into a three pointed shurriken. Sasuke fell to the ground screaming and crying,"Hate me with all you can and once you have eyes like mine then come and find me." Itachi said and walked away with a single lone tear running down his face."Sasuke I'm so sorry but you'll be the one to recreate the Uchiha clan, you're the only one who can the rest were planning a coup but kaa-san should still be alive to take care of you."Itachi thought before running out of Konoha.

The academy was closed for the rest of the week to allow the students to mourn over the fallen clan, the Sandaime also made a new law forbidding the early graduation of any student from the academy so that a tragedy like this could not happen again by mentally unstable ninja. The mourning period ended, the civilian council began to pamper and kiss up to the last Uchiha in the village making him essentially the village prince, this made the already unstable boy arrogant and smug to all.

Chapter 2 End
