Senju Estate
"Hinata, Naruto, and Mika, in just a few days, you'll embark on your first day at the academy. Today, we're going to provide you with intensive training, preparing you far beyond what may seem necessary. However, it's essential for you to understand that becoming the strongest shinobi requires dedication and rigorous training," Tsunade said, her eyes gleaming with determination, though a hint of mischief danced within her.
Naruto couldn't contain his excitement but tried to be patient as Tsunade continued, "Naruto, I know you're eager, so I'll save your jutsu for last."
"Aw, come on, that's not fair!" Naruto protested.
Tsunade silenced him with a stern look. "Naruto, please refrain from interrupting. First, we'll identify your chakra nature using these." She produced three chakra papers, handing one to each of them.
"These chakra papers react differently based on your nature. For instance, if you have Fire chakra, the paper will ignite and turn to ash. Wind will split it in half. Lightning will wrinkle it. Earth will crumble it to dirt, and Water will make it damp."
Each of them focused their chakra into the papers. Naruto's paper split in half, Mika's became damp and then turned to dirt, and Hinata's paper split and became damp, crumbling away.
"Hinata, based on your nature, you'll be learning the Water Bullet Jutsu and the Hidden Mist Jutsu. We'll also guide you in activating your Byakugan," Jiraiya explained.
"What's a Byakugan?" Hinata inquired with curiosity.
Jiraiya stepped in to clarify,
"It's the reason your eyes look as they do. Once fully activated, you'll possess the ability to see through objects and discern the chakra systems of others."
Naruto, with envy in his eyes, chimed in,
"I want one too!"
Hinata, now feeling more comfortable with her unique eyes, nodded in agreement. Tsunade continued, "Mika, you'll be learning the Mud Wall Jutsu and the Mystic Palm Jutsu. As for you, Naruto, we'll be teaching you the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the Great Breakthrough Jutsu. These will be your major jutsu during your time at the academy. You'll learn how to master them and integrate them into your taijutsu skills, which we'll develop deeper into in the future."
Ecstatic, Naruto exclaimed, "Yes! I'm just thrilled to be learning jutsu!"

"Sasuke, welcome to my home. What do you think?" Asuma inquired as they entered his residence.
Sasuke responded nonchalantly, "It's cool, I guess."
A girl with crimson eyes and black hair emerged from the master room. "Hi, I'm Kurenai, and I'm Asuma's girlfriend."
To Asuma's surprise, Sasuke showed respect and bowed upon meeting Kurenai. "Hey, Uncle Asuma. I thought we were going to train."
Asuma smiled. "We are, and Kurenai here is going to help."
In the Backyard
"I assume you've unlocked your Sharingan," Asuma stated, glancing at Sasuke's three tomoe Sharingan, which left both Asuma and Kurenai in shock.
Sasuke revealed his Sharingan, and Kurenai began to explain,
"This is good news. Kurenai will teach you the Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique, which you should be able to cast using your Sharingan. I'll be teaching you our clan's kekkei genkai, Ash Release, a technique that releases incinerating and flammable ash into the air."
Kurenai added, "Let's start with the Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique."
She demonstrated the jutsu on Sasuke, causing him to see a bloodied image of Itachi in the trees, which momentarily threw him off balance. Sasuke quickly used the ram seal to break the genjutsu.
Kurenai asked, "What did you see?"
Sasuke's mood shifted, and he replied, "It's none of your business."
"Alright, Sasuke, let's not press him," Asuma intervened. "Now, due to your Sharingan, you can activate this technique simply by thinking its name while making eye contact with your target. Keep practicing, and you'll improve by the time you enter the academy. Now, it's my turn."
Sasuke inquired, "What's next?"
Asuma explained, "Ash Release is a combination of fire, water, and earth chakras. Do you know your chakra nature?"
"Fire and lightning," Sasuke responded.
"Good. Since you have a fire nature, mastering that aspect will be easier. To incorporate earth and water chakras, you'll need to infuse your chakra into soil and water until you sense the essence of both. Once you've got the hang of it, I'll teach you the Smoky Mist Jutsu."
Senju Estate, One Day Before the Academy
"You're all ready for the academy!" Tsunade announced.
Sarutobi Compound
"Sasuke, you're prepared!" Asuma declared with a sense of accomplishment.
First day of the academy
On the first day at the academy, Jiraiya, the legendary ninja, stood before Naruto, Hinata, and Mika, understanding the challenges that lay ahead. He prepared a heartfelt speech, emphasizing the importance of their bond. "You three have to stick together through this," he urged. "If someone messes with one of you, they mess with all of you. And Naruto, even though you've already learned some advanced stuff, please, pay attention."
Tsunade, their mother, added her wisdom, reminding them to make new friends, especially being kind to Sasuke, who had endured so much. Naruto and his sister couldn't wait to start the academy but were growing impatient. "Can we go now?" they asked in unison, boredom evident in their voices. Tsunade gave them a stern look, and Naruto and Mikaread the signal quickly leaping into her arms, "You too Hinata"
In class
"Hello everyone I will be your iruka sensei May everyone please find their seats"
"Hey guys where should we sit?" Naruto whispered to Hinata and Mika.
"How- how about up in the corner so-so we can keep to ourselves," Hinata said in a whisper back the two others sticking their thumbs out in agreement by the time they got up one of the corner seats was taken by a brooding uchiha "hey what's your name" naruto questioned cheerfully the boy didn't reply
"hey what's your problem aren't you gonna speak-" before naruto could finish Mika took the thing into her own hands literally as he slammed the boy "hey what the-" the Uchiha tried to start but when he rose his head all he could focus on were Mika's emerald shiny eyes they were beautiful
"who do you think you are done you have some decency to answer back someone-" before Mika could go on Sasuke stopped her
" I'm sorry," he said with his arms cross head pointing the other way "I'm Sasuke Uchiha" murmurs began in the class "an Uchiha?" Everyone questioned." Well him, Mika," the blond said putting out her hand that the emo shook back.
"And this is my brother and Hinata"
"Nice to meet you guys Are you sure that dude is not adopted I mean his hair is crimson and yours is blond"
"Huh I've never really thought about it, I don't think so is the best I can give?" the uchicha laughed, that was the first time he even smiled since the massacre.
"Hey, class is starting as usual for the first day we're gonna play an introducing yourself game. A stick will be passed around and who ever has it will tell us some important detail about themselves" The stick started in the hands of Sakura Haruno
"hi im sakura Haruno i'm from a civilian family and when I grow up i wanna marry a strong ninja" The stick then went to ino yamanaka "Hi im ino im form the yamanaka clan I hate snakey friends and love fashion" The stick eventually got to the corner where the four strongest resided starting with hinata "Hi-hi" she said covering her face in embarrassment "i'm-i'm hinata hyugua I really like my friends i don't like bullies and I love cinnamon buns" she then passed the stick to naruto
"I'M NARUTO UZAMAKI! I love my friends like hinata-chan" cause her even more embarrassment "I ALSO LOVE RAMEN AND TRAINING!" he then passed it to his sister
"im Mika senju'' Sasuke was completely shocked how could a senju his riviling clan be so beautiful."i hate perverts and fan girls I love helping people and im not afraid to knock some sense into someone head" she then passed the stick to sasuke and noticed how attractive the boy was hmm sasuke she thought
"Im sasuke uchiha I love my brother i like getting stronger so i can defeat a certain someone and I want to restore my clan" he said the last bit looking towards Mika before quickly looking forward. "He's so dreamy" one of the girls in class exclaimed "All right class that is for learning about each other Now we will evaluate your skill levels in places like taijutsu chakra control and shurikens" The four people in the corner raised their hands simultaneously
"what about ninjutsu?" "I love your enthusiasm but a lot of people aren't there yet and ninjutsu will be taught later in the year." Naruto thought about his mom and she was right. We over-trained. The day was over and Hinata Sasuke Naruto and Mika all performed high genin and even close to chunin.
"Hey Sasuke was going back to me and Mika's house to spar You want to come," Naruto said invitingly "I guess I don't have nothing else to do"
*Senju compound*
"Hey Mom it's cool We brought our new friend Sasuke over right" the 4 kids said entering the house "Yeah it's more than fine!"Tsunade was proud of her children and how they were kind to a boy like Sasuke who just needed love." All right come on Sasuke let's head to the back" "So who wants to spar who" Naruto proposed "I think me and my Sasuke-chan verse you and your girlfriend" Everyone's face went red I'm her sasuke-chan? she's so polar the boy thought flustered Hinata-chan isn't my girlfriend. Well, I wouldn't want her to be but Naruto put his hand to his face and Hinata well she was red enough that you'd get burnt from touching her. "Okay let's get started," Naruto said, determinedly shaking his teammate out of her trance, and just like that the spar began. Hinata and Sasuke both activated their dojutsu Hinata began to sign for her water bullet jutsu but to Hinata's suprise when it fired it was an ice bullet that just barely grazed Mika's shoulder As Naruto got ready to fight Sasuke he summons a shadow clone to boost him with great breakthrough. Sasuke barely dodges thanks to his Sharingan and attempts his genjutsu on Naruto which due to the fox didn't work but did land on Hinata instead due to her byakugan this allowed Mika to land a solid hit on her leaving Hinata out for sure so it was just naruto left and he had to make a play he ran to cover in the bushes witch Sasuke countered with a fireball jutsu the cover was burnt but it was to late naruto already sent him self flying at his sister mika immediately used her mud wall jutsu but instead of was there were trees she had wood release this was the least of her problem though because what she had thought to just be naruto was a clone and above came another naruto coming straight for her she had no time she was done naruto charged up his ash release but before he could use it a kunai was already on his neck. "That was a good match," admitted Naruto. "Yeah, those clones you got are pretty cool," Sasuke agreed. "Come one help these two up Let's bring em to my mom" "Naruto what did I tell you about going easy on your sister But it did seem to be a good spar"
"You were watching?"
"Of course I was, You guys are stronger than you think, and good use of your shadow clones Naruto when your sister wakes up I need to talk about those trees she summoned as well seeing those almost gave me a heart attack and Hinatas ice release was a little surprise as well"
"How can she use ice jutsu, "Naruto asked confused "I'll explain when she awake" Tsunade replied I questioned Can I ask you something Mom" "Yes of course" "Am I adopted" "You are," Tsunade said softly "So who were my real parents" "they were heroes they saved the whole village by stopping the nine tails and sacrificed themselves in the process" "but the 4th stoped the nine tail" "Yes and he was your father" naruto eye widened "what about the fox" "hes sealed away inside you" "wha-what IM A MONSTER" "NO NARUTO YOUR NOT, you are just the jailer not the beast inside" "I need to think about this" naruto said before walking to his room. "Sasuke please follow him" sasuke answered the task and followed behind naruto. The two now sat on his bed "hey naruto I know how you feel to miss your parents mine are dead too and for what i think your no where even close to the kyuubi your my friend I usually hate this but do you want a hug" Naruto quickly took up the offer and the two went down stairs by then the two girls were up and tsunade was ready to task to hinata about her parents "hinata i know you were confused when your jutsu turned to ice so ill tell you about your parents your father was the head of the hyuuga and fell in love with your mother who was born from breeding kekkei genkai which are clan specific abilities the kekkei genkai of your grandparents were bone and ice release hence why that happened with you jutsu kinda like what happened with mika and her wood release but when your mom tried to flee the country they were in only you and your dad made it but hen he got back he was soon asasinated for messing up the pure bloodline and the hokage couldnt trust the clan with you so he sent you to an orphanage." Hinata's eyes began to fill with tears how can people be so cruel she leaned into Tsunade as she wept. When Hinata was done crying they began preparing their dinner to celebrate the eventful day.

"Sasuke, where were you? We were looking for you " "I went to my friend Naruto's house" "You made a friend and with Naruto!? Well, I'm not even mad anymore Are you hungry?" "No, I ate," the boy said, yawning, retiring to his room with a slight grin on his face as his way of expressing his amazing day.
