Chapter 11: Chapter 11 : Rasengan Mastery (Rewrite)
Konohagakure No Sato
4 Years Later.
Kirito's Secret Training Ground.
'Why it's not working', thought Kirito.
For five weeks he has been working on this technique and still, he could not complete this Rasengan.
'The hell with this technique' thought Kirito, cursing in his mind.
Kirito was by no means an impatient person but he also had his limits.
This technique Naruto learns literally in less than a month and the same goes for Kakashi, Jiraiya, Konohamaru and even Baruto. I mean Boruto, that guy who has no future besides making Naruto's name look bad.
Only Minato took more than 3 years to learn this technique and that too because he was developing it rather than learning it.
This did not make any sense but Kirito was frustrated and was not thinking straight any more.
It's already been 5 weeks or over a month since he unlocked his template to 40%.
A great achievement in his mind if the progress rate is anything to go by.
Collectively it took him more than 4 years to upgrade the template from 20% to 40%.
At first, he noticed that the progress in the template was getting slowed down. He was a little worried but didn't think too much about it.
But this is bonkers.
Almost 5 years for a mere 20% progress. And progress further is getting even harder.
At this speed, it will take him 20 to 30 years to complete the template or maybe even more.
Anyways back to the annoying yet useful technique.
He was already tired and all of his 100 shadow clones which he used now to learn Rasengan every day had disappeared.
He already has worked for more than 6 hours now and he could feel that he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
He should have ended his training session hours ago but he did not leave.
He actually figured out this long ago that the way Minato train the technique is not working that well for him. Jiraiya taught better at least in his opinion.
The only problem is that after all this time, Kirito doesn't remember what exactly Jiraiya taught Naruto differently.
So he just sent a shadow clone to take his place in the outside world and invest all his time here.
He was almost out of breath but he still did not give up. One more time he wanted to try it out.
He raised his hands and gathered his chakra on his palms.
He already mastered the first and second stages of the training.
Slowly the chakra gathered in his hand and slowly it started to rotate.
He so much wanted to just make a clone like Naruto and take help from the clone to make Rasengan.
But that doesn't count as he learns the technique.
And if he actually learns the technique, he can't get Mastery from the system.
His hands were already shaking from all the hard training he did every day.
The rotating ball of chakra forms but looks unstable.
It was half complete and Kirito was trying to establish Rasengan.
Suddenly the ball became more violent. This was not the only time this happened. Kirito was dealing with this for the longest time.
But Kirito gritted his teeth and kept maintaining the chakra. Kirito was already feeling like his mind was getting hazy.
Training with 100 clones for 6 hours straight was just too much for Kirito who was just 12 years old now.
He was not sure what he was doing wrong.
When the Rasengan was about to collapse like always, Kirito who did not have more energy just close his eyes and poured every bit of his remaining chakra into the Rasengan in the hope of gaining something out of it.
This caused the Rasengan to explode. But this time around the explosion was much more louder and powerful.
It directly puts Kirito into unconsciousness.
It took more than 30 minutes for Kirito to wake up but when he did wake up he found something which brought tears to his eyes.
[Ding. Congratulations Host for learning Rasengan].
[Reward: Rasengan Mastery]
Kirito stood there for more than 10 minutes before doing anything. It was almost like he did not even have the energy to celebrate his newly mastered technique.
After Another 30 minutes of resting, he finally stood up and raised his hand.
He slowly put a little chakra on his palm. But to his surprise, before he could even start rotating his chakra, he found that the Rasengan was already formed in his hand.
It took just a thought of him to execute the technique.
Kirito did not stop there. He flips his palm and fires the Rasengan.
To his surprise, the ball of chakra fired towards the direction he raised his hand to.
Soon with the help of Nine Tail Chakra, he formed a big Rasengan in his hand. It was 2 times the size of normal rasengan.
Then he checked out all the known Rasengan techniques he knew.
He was surprised by how easy it was to form and use Rasengan. The most interesting thing for him was that he was able to form a Rasengan with just his thoughts.
He then wanted to test out different forms of Rasengan. He started mixing different elements with Rasengans.
When he upgraded his Template to 30%, he got all the Minato's Elemental Affinity.
And in the long wait between 30% progress to 40% progress. Kirito wastes no time to fully master Wind, Air and Lightning to the extreme.
Getting Mastery in all of those.
And he was able to mix all those affinities into his Rasengan.
This excited Kirito. Maybe more for the fact that he doesn't have to learn Rasenshuriken or Fire style Rasengan again than to be able to use this version of Rasengan.
Chapter 12: Chapter 12 : Ino Chan And Kirito Kun (Rewrite)
Kirito was super happy after finally learning the technique.
The only thing he wanted to do was to eat and sleep now.
Kirito then went to his home and slept without caring for anything more.
Kirito long realised that he need to find a way to increase his template progress faster.
With just training, the speed is so slow that he can't get stronger by the time the Fourth Shinobi War comes.
With the help of his Shadow Clone technique, he trains more but there is a limit.
Good that his innate ability 'Hyper Focus' is much more linear to progress.
Kirito by this point was able to hone this power to almost limit.
Of course, he knew that, but that is not the case considering he still sees improvement if he works on it.
His senses thanks to Hyper Focus were incredible and even his reflexes and observation capabilities are also off the chart.
Konogakure No Sato
Ninja Academy.
2 Months Later.
Today is the graduation exam and today Kirito is going to showcase a tiny bit of his real strength.
"Now I am strong enough to showcase my power to others. Not everything I can do but I can surely showcase some of it" declares Kirito.
Kirito for a long time has maintained an average position in the academy. He was top in the class when it came to academic studies thanks to shadow clones which let him study and learn at the same time.
Not to mention, a few clones outside the exam hall with the right books do wonders.
What made him average was his practical performance. He was maintaining a class average there.
He did not want to attract more attention to himself than necessary.
But now, he can handle himself. Not only does he have Nine Tail Chakra but also Rasengan so he should not have any problem even if Danzo send his root after him.
"Brother are you ready, come on we have to go to Academy. We need to move now or we will be late" shouted Naruto.
In these 2 months, Kirito has taught Naruto a little and improved his techniques a little.
He did not teach him any technique like Shadow Clones because without him getting acknowledged by Iruka, Naruto wouldn't get his Nindo.
Kirito does not have any problem changing the storyline.
Hell, he was planning to destroy the entire plot by the time of Shipudden but Naruto and Iruka's relationship is important.
Not only for this world but also as a brother he wanted Naruto to get acknowledged by Iruka.
Iruka himself has changed quite a lot in these years. Now he doesn't look at them like a monster but as poor kids.
"Yes, brother I am done let's get going".
Kirito too was a little excited knowing that today finally he showed others how strong he is.
Both brothers walk to the academy. Kirito usually sends a clone to accompany Naruto to the academy but today was different.
It was the last day that he was going to the Academy. He wanted to go there himself.
When they both reach the academy. The first thing they all saw was all the students excited about the graduation exams.
"Kirito Kun, here, come here" Ino shouted with a huge smile on her face.
Kirito and Ino both grew closer to each other as time passed and now they are best friends.
Kirito still did not enter into a relationship with Ino and maintain a friendship with her.
The most interesting thing was that Ino always gave hints to him daily and Kirito always smiled at her saying.
"You will someday become a good wife or don't tempt me otherwise I will make you my girlfriend in the future,".
He makes sure to state every time that both of them are still quite small.
Kirito was not interested in getting into a relationship right now. He just wanted to grow strong for now.
But still, the only person he spent time more with than his brother was Ino.
He honestly likes the girl. It was just not the time yet to express. It's too early.
After finding Kirito Kun I directly flew towards him and hugged him pressing my growing breast onto him.
Over the years, I have grown to love Kirito. At first, I thought it was only an academy crush but this crush has become real love.
When I first realized this I could not be more excited. The problem is that Kirito Kun never responded to my advances.
Teasing me all the time.
He is always so good and warm to me. He never shouts at me even If I am annoying him or forcing him to do something.
He is the smartest person in our class (although he says that title belongs to Shikamaru) and is also a strong Ninja.
But he says that we are still small. How could you not understand if a girl likes you when she practically gives you all of her attention? That age doesn't matter at that time.
After trying and failing to give subtle hints, I became bold and started showing public affection.
Hugging him, Kissing him on the cheeks, making food for him and even once offering to show him her panties,
He just won't move from his stand of being too young. He is f*cking dense. Both brothers are dense.
I came to learn that Hinata likes Naruto.
Now I don't know why she would like someone like Naruto of all people but it's not my business.
Unlike me, Hinata is too shy to showcase her feelings to Naruto but anyone could figure out that Hinata and me are interested in both the brothers.
But Kirito and Naruto are just too Dense.
Well, Kirito is more stubborn than dense but still.
But that does not mean I will give up. Kirito is the best guy I have met in my life.
He used to carry me to the academy and carry me back when I broke my leg two years ago.
He always understands how I am feeling and cares for me.
Once he sneaked into my house to just to give me a birthday gift which I demanded from him on my birthday.
It was almost impossible to get that special kind of flower and I asked him to bring me that on my birthday.
I knew I was being unreasonable but asked him to for the flower anyway.
I was being unreasonable and acting like a spoiled girl but he still found the flower for me.
It was already late at night when my birthday was about to end when he sneaked into my room.
He was full of dirt and cut all over him (This was because of the training but Ino doesn't know that). But I still remember he had a bright smile on his face.
When he gave me the flower I no longer cared about it after looking at his condition.
When I asked him how he found it. His answer shocked me.
He had to search the entire valley of the end and the mountain after that to get this flower.
He did not eat anything while he was searching for the flower(This also happened because he forgot to eat because of training).
I for the first time cried in his arm for the foolish demand I made.
I kept saying sorry to him and he kept comforting me until I was asleep.
When I woke up I thought everything was a dream but the flower was there.
I did not have any idea how I would face him again after what happened last night, After what I made him do for my foolish demands.
What if he hated me?
But what happened just made me fall for him even more.
He just smiled and me like he always did and said.
"That's fine, I know you are heartless," said Kirito.
I almost had a cardiac arrest back then. But then he completed his sentence.
"After all, I stole your heart, didn't I? That flower in exchange for your heart. I got a pretty good deal, I say," He said with a beaming smile on his face.
So, there is no way in hell that I am gonna give up. I will make Kirito mine.
And there is no way I am stopping that long until that idiot considers us all grown up.
No sir, I am getting my share of Dic*... I mean deep affection and there no one can stop me.
Chapter 13: Chapter 13 : Challenge (Rewrite)
While Ino was hugging Kirito or more like crushing him to death.
Almost all of the students were looking at him. It was not something new that they had seen.
Almost every day, both of them behaved the same but even now everyone was jealous.
The boys of the class were jealous of Kirito to land the prettiest girl in the class.
Girls were Jealous of Ino because he got all of Kirito's attention. While there Sasuke Kun was not giving them any attention.
Maybe the most envious people in the class were Sakura and Hinata. They too wanted to be like that with their Sasuke Kun and Naruto Kun.
But Sasuke did not show any kind of attention to all the girls which always bothered him.
And Hinata was too shy to talk to Naruto.
"Hey Kirito, why are you looking at Hinata" Ino asked when Kirito was thinking.
"Nothing, just saw that she always looking at my brother for some reason." Kirito could not find any other reason and told the truth.
This forms a tick mark on Ino's head. 'He understands what Hinata is thinking without even talking with her and I am being his fan girl and acting like a lost puppy in front of him but he doesn't realize what I want' thought Ino.
Ino huff and pull Kirito to sit beside her.
Time passed and Iruka finally came and the exams finally started.
The first exam was the one on one combat. The written test was already done a few weeks ago because the teachers needed time to check the paper.
Everyone finally came outside and was ready to start fighting.
The exams were very simple. There was two part of this exam.
First is the fighting and the ranking system and second is the qualification in 3 of the academy Jutsu.
"Shikamaru vs Aoji" ask Iruka.
Shikamaru did not give up like always and used his clan's special technique to capture his opponent.
He passed without even moving from his place and at his even Sasuke was giving him a look.
'Maybe his mother did give him the motivation to pass the exams.' thought Kirito.
Before leaving the ground he said his Iconic dialogue "Troublesome" and left.
Next was Ino with another class girl and Ino won with a landslide.
Kirito smiled and high-fived Ino.
Hinata was exactly like the shy girl who did not want to hurt anyone. Needless to say, she lost because she did not even fight back.
Sakura did win her battle against another girl.
Shino and Kiba ended up fighting each other and Kiba was destroyed by Shino. The boy is really strong just never let us know that.
Another two future teammates from canon who ended up fighting were Naruto and Sasuke.
Although Naruto did give a good fight to Sasuke he was no match for Sasuke currently.
But that does not mean that he did not push Sasuke. Naruto was a fast learner especially when it came to physical things.
Kirito's two months of training increased his speed and made him strong.
Naruto might not be an opponent for Sasuke but he was able to push Sasuke in the battle and it was visible to others as well.
Sasuke when he saw how good Naruto has become was a little angry and used more force. With a single kick in the face, he was able to send Naruto flying back from the fighting ring.
Kirito saw that and he became Angry. ' The bastard hit him in the face on purpose' thought Kirito.
Kirito was done with his fight and he fought with a civilian kid. Naruto was not supposed to fight Sasuke at all.
The fight is all based on ranking and Naruto was pretty much the last when it come to that among all the combat-oriented ninjas in Konoha 12.
Once the fighting was over. Iruka gave the ending speech and also gave other options to fight for the Rookie of the Year post.
While the other ranking was set and won't be changed any time soon the ranking for the rookie of the year was a little special and could be challenged.
Naruto immediately raised his hand even though he had just been beaten by Sasuke.
"Naruto, you cannot fight Sasuke again," Iruka said sighing. He was no longer someone who judged and hated the Uzumaki brother but he still was exhausted by Naruto. He was irritated by him a lot.
"Ah come on Iruka sensei, why can't I fight him again" whined Naruto and even Kirito was irritated by Naruto's antics sometimes.
"Because he just fought you Naruto and stop making trouble for the class," Iruka said and sighed again.
Naruto pouted but shut up after that. Maybe the real reason was Sakura who ended up shouting at Naruto who wanted to fight and defeat her Sasuke Kun.
Iruka, looked around the class to find out if anyone else wanted to challenge Sasuke.
Many faces show that they wanted the rookie of the year position but that does not mean that he was mad enough to challenge Sasuke.
Finally, when Iruka was about to move on after seeing that no one had raised their hand. He saw a single hand being raised by a blonde-haired kid.
He instinctively said "Naruto, I am not letting you fight Sasuke again so there is no point in raising your hand please lower it" but the hand did not lower and when Iruka finally saw the face of the person who raised the hand he was surprised.
Kirito in class hardly participated in class activities so Iruka was taken aback.
Ino was also surprised to see Kirito's actions. Over the year she has learned that Kirito is very passive when it comes to fighting and does not usually take the first approach to fight.
Naruto, Hinata, Shikamaru, Kiba, Sakura and all other Konoha 9 were surprised by Kirito's action.
Chapter 14: Chapter 14 : Kirito Vs Sasuke (Rewrite)
Everyone was gossiping among themselves. Kirito is usually a passive person who doesn't like to fight but today he challenges Sasuke for the rookie of the year spot.
"Are you sure you want to fight Sasuke Kirito" Iruka ask Kirito before letting them fight.
"Yes sensei, I would like to fight for the rookie of the year spot" said Kirito and looked at Sasuke.
Sasuke did not give any reaction from the outside but from the inside, he too was a little surprised at how unexcepted the move Kirito made.
According to ranking Kirito and Sasuke did not fight that much. Their last fight was years ago and in that, Sasuke won.
Now Sasuke doesn't know how strong Kirito is.
"Kirito are you sure you want to do this," asked Ino worried about him.
Over the years the only thing which irritated Ino was Sakura announcing how Sasuke was stronger than Kirito and then Ino who had no way to deny the fact countered her by saying how good and caring Kirito was.
But she never wanted Kirito to fight Sasuke to become the strongest. But there was an anticipation and spark in her eyes.
Kirito just gave her a reassuring smile and started moving towards the fighting ring.
Finally, both the opponents came to the fighting ring and took their stands.
And then Iruka started the match.
Sasuke being an offensive fighter directly rushes towards Kirito and entangles him in Taijutsu.
For Kirito, he was quite slow. He was not even using hyper-focus.
Sasuke sent off a direct punch into his opponent's gut but Kirito sidestep easily.
He followed the attack with a reverse kick which was easily blocked by Kirito.
Sasuke took out his kunai and after making some distance threw the kunai at Kirito who took out his kunai and threw them intersecting all of Sasuke's kunai.
Sasuke quickly started to form hand signs and breathe a large amount of air in him.
"Great Fire Ball Jutsu" shouted Sasuke and sent a big Fireball towards Kirito.
For Kirito it was child play to avoid the fireball. He just cast a signless replacement and replaced himself with a log.
Everyone was surprised by Sasuke's fireball Jutsu but only some people realize how quick Kirito's replacement was.
Once again Sasuke rushed towards Kirito and started fighting with him but this time around Kirito did not move and did not even enter into a combat-ready stance.
Kirito simply started to avoid all of Sasuke's attacks.
This made Sasuke more and more enraged and he started to push himself more.
Everyone on the side seeing this was amazed.
Kirito on the other hand was only thinking one thing. The only thing which he was thinking about was how different this world was from Naruto's.
Since the day he has come to this world. He has noticed that in many things this world is different but at the same time, all those things are more real here than it was in the anime.
While Sasuke kept attacking him, Kirito looked at him and noticed how arrogant he had acted in the last 5 years he came to know him.
No, Sasuke might be an emo character in the anime but he was not arrogant or outright a bad boy who liked to bully others.
But this version of Sasuke is different from that of the anime. He has many times belittled his opponents and shouted at his fan girls who always bother him.
Kirito had no Idea why those fan girls still liked to follow Sasuke.
No, this world is different from the anime.
And not only Sasuke but all the characters are different from their canon counterparts. They are more real this time around than they were in the anime.
Shikamaru was more scheming in this world. Choji and Shino are pretty much like their canon self but Hinata is different here than her canon.
She is kind-hearted but also a lustful girl. At first, Kirito did not understand but later he was able to understand her thoughts. She always had naughty thoughts the moment she looked at Naruto.
No wonder she passes out every time and she is also a big-time stocker.
Kiba has his alpha male personality and is rude and a bully in this world. And many more people were different from their canon selves.
Not much but different none the rest. This setting of the world is more aligned with the real-life scenario than a 'for-laugh' anime.
"Stop, running away and fight me Uzumaki" shouted Sasuke while Kirito was doing all of his attacks and at the same time was also thinking.
Kirito came out of his thoughts and punched Sasuke hard in the gut. This also disbalance him so he ended up falling.
Kirito kept staring at him with cold eyes. "Man, I was thinking something," he said in a low voice.
Sasuke by this point was already up and rushing towards Kirito with a mad-like expression.
Kirito waited and got ready.
What followed was the most brutal takedown the students had ever seen in their lives.
Kirito blocked Sasuke's kick and gave a low kick at his ankles. Then he rotates while holding Sasuke's left leg which he caught while he was kicking, bending the leg at an unnatural angle
This not only brought Sasuke to his knees but at the same time a position in which Kirito could end the fight with one blow but Kirito did not do that.
He let Sasuke once again stand and took the fighting position.
"Yeah, you show him, brother. Kick his ass dattebayo" said Naruto.
"Baka Naruto that's not gonna happen. Come on, Sasuke Kun beat Kirito like how you did to the Baka Naruto" Sakura shouted from the side.
"Dream on your forehead, my Kirito Kun is going to kick Sasuke's butt in no time just watch" Ino countered from the side.
"What did you say Ino Pig" shouted Sakura in anger.
Both the girls started fighting over who was going to win. The entire class regained their focus on the match.
By this time Sasuke was again on his feats and was angry with Kirito.
He this time made hand signs and fired a big fireball Jutsu towards Kirito.
Chapter 15: Chapter 15 : Rookie Of The Year (Rewrite)
Kirito saw the fireball coming and quickly used a replacement without any problem.
Sasuke saw that and gritted his teeth and once again rushed toward Kirito.
Kirito simply avoided his first attack and caught his second punch.
Sasuke was about to continue the attack but Kirito did not let him. He kicks Sasuke point-blank in his face again.
Once again Sasuke was on the ground and seething with anger.
The entire classroom now was silent, especially Sasuke's fangirls.
Naruto and Ino had shining eyes while Sakura was fearful for Sasuke.
But the ending blow never came from Kirito.
Sasuke too was a little taken aback when that happened and looked towards Kirito like asking for answers.
"Come on, I know that you are not done yet," said Kirito in front of the entire classroom.
This frustrated Sasuke and he charged towards Kirito.
Kirito with his speed was easily able to block Sasuke's pointless kick.
"I have seen you belittling your opponents, Sasuke. I don't know why you do that but hitting Naruto on the face was the last straw before I couldn't help it.
You can't be strong when bullying those who are weaker than you and your arrogance is pointless. Not like it's helping you,".
Kirito said and everyone on the ground was looking at Kirito like they saw him for the first time. Most of the boys could relate to what Kirito was saying.
Sasuke when heard this became madder and took out his kunai and directly aimed at Kirito.
Kirito easily ducks and makes a little distance from Sasuke. He then blocks another two attacks from Sasuke before delivering a powerful punch at Sasuke's jaw.
For the third time, Sasuke fell to the ground and this time for the first time after the Uchiha massacred he was feeling his weakness.
"I have seen you fighting with my brother and beating him all the time. Let me tell you this one thing before you have the illusion that you are strong.
The only reason you could beat Naruto is because you are more fortunate that there was someone with you to teach you how to fight.
My brother could have been much better than you if only someone had taught him.
We have to learn everything on our own. And believe me, it does not matter if I don't have a clan or someone to help. I will grow strong and become the best there is."
Kirito said with an intense look on his face.
Sasuke could not take it anymore and once again attacked Kirito.
Kirito did not show any more courtesy to Sasuke and kicked him in his face with lightning-fast speed.
This time the kick was strong enough to knock out Sasuke and send him flying back.
Everyone gaped at what happened.
Naruto and Ino were still cheering Kirito while Sakura quickly rushed towards Sasuke.
Kirito looks towards Iruka to announce the results.
Iruka also came out from his thinking and announced quickly.
"Winner, Uzumaki Kirito".
"That should be Namikaze Kirito but for now I will take it" mutters Kirito in a low voice.
Everyone had different thoughts about what just happened.
Shikamaru was not surprised by Kirito's action much as he already had his suspicion that Kirito was hiding his true power.
Kiba, Hinata, Shino and Choji were simply amazed and impressed at what Kirito was able to do.
Naruto and Ino at this point were fanboying and fangirling Kirito.
Iruka had a complicated expression now.
Sasuke was out but Sakura looked towards Kirito with anger. She wanted to scold Kirito as she did to Naruto but right now taking care of Sasuke was more important.
In the Hokage Office
Hiruzen Sarutobi saw this and also had a complicated expression.
He was not expecting that one of Minato's sons was this good and was hiding his true strength.
He never put a lot of focus on Kirito. Most of the time he talks with Naruto and tries to manipulate him but Kirito is different.
Kirito never shows any reaction to his care. It is almost like he always looks through him.
The most disadvantageous issue for Hiruzen is that. Kirito is not a kid who is easily manipulatable.
He is not like Naruto or Minato. He might look like Minato but all his life his living conditions have made him suspicious of everyone.
At first, Hiruzen was regretting his decision to let both brothers live in poverty.
Hiruzen sighed and kept thinking about how to bring Kirito to his side and also stop Danzo from taking him.
While this was happening. The news about Kirito's performance had already reached Danzo and he was also making a plan to recruit Kirito into the roots.
Chapter 16: Chapter 16 : Teams (Rewrite)
After the fighting exams, The entire graduation was pretty simple.
Naruto ended up failing and he was approached by Mitsuki. Of course, Kirito and Hiruzen were aware of the situation.
Kirito just turns into a bird and keeps an eye on Naruto. Everything just went like it did in the Anime.
The only difference was that Naruto was much stronger thanks to Kirito.
A few Days Later.
Kirito and Naruto again came to the academy to learn which team he and his brother were going to be.
Kirito was very interested to see how the entire story of Naruto would go with him being Naruto's brother.
Kirito himself is not going to follow the Canon at all. His idea was simple.
"FUCK CANON".
This is his life and the only thing he cares about right now is his brother and Ino.
Yes, after so much time being friends with the girl, he ended up caring for her.
"Naruto, I understand that you are excited but you did not have to jump all the way here you know," said Kirito irritated because of Naruto's antics.
Naruto on the other hand did not care at all about this. The only thing he cared about was that he had become a shinobi of the leaf.
Kirito just started avoiding Naruto and focusing on the class. All the people in the class were looking at him like he was Madara Uchiha himself.
Kirito did not care about all those people though. The only person he was interested in was Sasuke who was giving him the death glare.
On the outside, Kirito did not show any reaction but in reality, he was quite happy about what he did to that emo Sasuke.
Soon, Iruka came and was ready to announce the teams.
"Okay, class settle down. I have all the team data hear" Iruka said and waited for everyone to settle down.
After everyone settled down Iruka started.
"Team 1 is ..."
"Team 2 is..."
"Team 3 is.."
.
.
.
Team 7 consists of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruo." said Iruka.
This news shocked everyone in the class but the only person who was not surprised was Kirito.
After all, he has seen the anime.
While Kirito was thinking more about the anime and all the possible outcomes of this team pairing. Other students were still surprised at the group pairing.
"No brother, we are not in the same team," said Naruto in an excited voice.
Kirito just smiled at this. He had no way to change the final outcome.
There was a lot of noise happening in the class.
Mostly made by Sakura who got paired with her Sasuke Kun.
"Okay, everyone comes down. Let me announce about other teams as well" said Iruka.
Everyone starts listening to Iruka except Ino and Sakura.
Again Sakura teased Ino.
Ino was still shocked at what happened, looking jealously at her best friend. She too wanted to be like that, be in the same team with Kirito.
"Team 8 consists of Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inazuka and Shino Aburame," said Iruka.
Hinata was sad because she wanted to be with her Naruto Kun. Kiba was loud as ever and Shino was just happy to be in a team.
All the students in the class were once again started making noise.
Kirito did not care too much about this. He was more curious about team 10 and who will be in that team. Not to mention that because of him the rookie 9 or 12 has increased and one of the original Konoha 9 will be removed from their original team.
Will he be removed? Considering that he is a Jinchuriki, he doubts that.
Originally, team 10 was supposed to consist of Shikamaru, Choji and Ino and they were supposed to be trained by Asuma.
But now that there is one more person is there in Konoha 9.
He is very interested in Team 10 now and how this is going to change the canon.
Chapter 17: Chapter 17 : New Team 10 (Rewrite)
After some time everyone was out of the shock.
"Okay, everyone calm down. Let me announce about the last team as well" said Iruka.
"Team 9 is already in the rotation.
So the last team is team 10 which consists of Shikamaru Nara, Kirito Uzumaki and Ino Yamanaka." said Iruka and completed his team announcement.
"So, it's Choji who was taken out of the team." Mutter Kirito.
"Choji, you are in team 14 with some seniors. You should contact Uchiro Mishustu to know more about it okay" Iruka said before leaving the room.
Choji was sad that he could not be with his best friend. He wanted to be with Shikamaru and maybe even Ino.
"Kirito Kun, I am so happy that we are in the same team," Ino said seductively and hug Kirito's hand from the side pressing her boobs intentionally on Kirito's side.
All the other boys in the class, besides Shikamaru, Sasuke and Shino were very jealous of Kirito for landing such a cute and pretty girlfriend.
But only Kirito knew that Ino was acting. She has been acting like this for a long time and he had to hold himself back.
Kirito also gave a happy smile to Ino and for the first time hugged Ino back.
This sent shivers in Ino's body and she was already blushing like mad.
"Kir..Kirito Kun" Ino mutter.
Ino has been trying to get Kirito's attention for a long time now. Kirito is always warm and nice to her.
He is also very caring of her. But he never really shows any signs that he is interested in her.
He never hugs her back whenever she clings to him. He always pats her head or pats her back and gives her his bright smile.
But this time around he hugged her back, a proper hug.
Kirito was not sure why he also had the urge to hug Ino back. Seeing her trying to make him notice her every day and shouting "NOTICE ME SENPAI" to him was too much to ignore every day.
So, today he could at least show this much affection to her, right?
While Ino was blushing mad.
The whole class was silent and shocked.
Everyone in the class knew that Ino had a crush on Kirito but they also knew that Kirito too liked the girl but still didn't show it.
So, seeing for the first time Kirito hugging Ino back shocked everyone. And the entire class which was making all sorts of noises because of the Team 10 announcement became silent.
The entire class was silent and even Iruka was surprised at this. The fact that the entire class became silent on its own was shocking enough but after noticing why they became silent even he was taken aback.
Kirito did not even realize that his one small move was enough to shock everyone in the class except his brother.
Ino was still blushing.
He was still in his thought process like.
There was no InoShikaCho formation this time around.
After some time all the Jonin sensei arrived and took all of their future students away.
The only 2 people Kirito was giving attention to were Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi.
The only person who was missing was Kakashi Hatake.
Kirito did not even bother to ask where he was.
He left with Asuma while Naruto was left alone with Sakura and Sasuke to wait for Kakashi.
It took almost 3 hours for Kakashi to show up. When he finally came through he found his future class was almost on the verge of dozing off.
There was no duster on Kakashi's face this time around.
Naruto was looking forward to becoming a shinobi while Sakura being the fan girl did not care too much. Sasuke did not say anything so Kakashi finally brought them outside.
"Okay then, Before we start anything more about shinobi work, let's start with an introduction"
Kakashi was not in the mood to train a bunch of children but he was almost forced by the Hokage to do so,
"Great, then you can start with that introduction and tell us how to do so," Naruto said wanting to quickly end this conversation and get to the action part.
This made the other two also nod their heads and made Kakashi annoyed but he did not show that in his face.
He simply introduced himself in the same way he did in the canon.
Almost everyone sweats drop but Naruto just introduces him as being too excited to bother with Kakashi.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki. I like my brother and Ramen and I hate the 5 minutes it takes to make ramen. I also like the Ichiraku Ramen the best. And my dream is to be the Hokage one Day." Naruto said in a loud voice.
"Okay, now the pinky" Kakashi said not paying much attention to either of them.
"I am Sakura Haruno...," and that followed a very similar introduction which happened in the cannon.
"Okay, and lastly the broody" Kakashi now just wanted to complete this chat and wanted to go back to reading his Icha Icha book again.
Sasuke was no different and started his Introduction.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain somebody." Said Sasuke.
Sakura blushed hearing Sasuke saying that.
'Cha that was so cool,' that was her inner reaction.
After everyone was done talking. Kakashi explained the test that he was about to take and told everyone to be in the training ground 7 tomorrow morning.
Almost everything was like canon,
After the entire situation with Kakashi was done. All the members of team 7 went on their own way.
Chapter 18: Chapter 18 : Asuma's Test (Rewrite)
On the next day, both Naruto and Kirito get ready to go to Training Grounds 7 and 8 respectively. While Naruto was excited about this exam, Kirito was exactly the opposite.
After leaving Naruto to the training ground 7. He went for training as he was supposed to visit ground 8 later.
By the time he arrived at the training ground, he also made sure to see what was going on with Naruto.
Poor Naruto is still waiting.
Asuma was a simple enough man.
And when the test was also simple enough.
Beat him and we are in the team.
This is impossible actually unless Shikmaru can come up with something outright genius or Kirito use 40% of Kurama's power which is up to four tail.
Considering the number, he believes each 10% of template update gives him one tail worth of nine tail chakra.
And with that logic, he should stop at 80% right? But no, he believes that 90% and 100% is Kcm and Kcm 2.
Back to the test though.
Asuma was not taking them seriously. Even Kirito himself wouldn't take his team seriously.
Strangely enough, Asuma's style of teaching was a little different. He didn't even introduce himself yesterday. Just said to arrive at training ground 8 at a certain time.
And even after meeting today, he directly went towards the test.
His simple words were this.
"Beat me and you are in the team,"
Well, that's exactly what they are trying to do right now.
After trying for some time, Shikamaru finally came up with a plan.
Honestly, if he didn't come up with a plan then Kirito would have already beaten his ass until he did.
Not like he didn't have a plan of his own but he never has been a team player, to be honest.
Kirito started the fight with Asuma and Shikamaru was with him.
Kirito made Shadow clones and charged towards Asuma.
While Shikamaru uses shadow capture on Asuma.
Kirito spilt his clones as half of them fought in their real form and another half of them turned into Ino and surrounded the entire field.
What Kirito was trying to do was simple. He wanted to put pressure on Asuma and the best way to pressure Asuma was to confuse him. He plans to do this by taking advantage of Ino's mind control Justu.
He was planning to let all his Ino clones act just like Ino and make Asuma believe that they are the real Ino and perform the mind control technique.
All fighting forces rush towards Asuma including Kirito and his clones, Shikamaru who was manipulating Asuma and was keeping him on his heels and lastly Ino who was hiding somewhere to capture Asuma when she got a chance.
Asuma was not worried about Shikamaru but it was Kirito and his clones which was a problem for him.
Kirito was a better fighter and already at the Chunin level if Asuma had to rate him. And when this includes him being surrounded by 20 clones and even the real one. He was feeling the pressure.
The biggest problem though was Ino. He was not sure which was the real one and thus he could not stop in one position for long.
He could easily overpower them but that would be very unfair to his new Genin team.
As he said real problem though was not Shikamaru or Kirito or his clones. It was the real Ino who was hiding somewhere and was surely aiming for him to let his guard down and use the mind control Jutsu on him.
Kirito for the first time was fighting like he meant it. It is not usually that he gets the opportunity to fight like this. Now his only complaint is that he still cannot fight all out right now.
He can't use his Rasengan, can't use nine tail chakra, can't use more than 50% of his powers and special techniques like hyper-focus.
Asuma was getting slowly overwhelmed. Not because there were so many opponents but because all of Kirito's clones were not inferior to him because of his system.
It was like he was fighting many Chunin at the same time. Even a Jonin like Asuma will have a hard time.
But then suddenly something happened and then Asuma lost consciousness.
One of the Kirito's clones was the real Ino and put Asuma in her mind to control Jutsu.
He was baffled. Of course, he was not paying much attention when fighting a new team but they caught him.
"And that's how we catch a Jonin," Ino said and hi-fi with Kirito.
Asuma on his side can just sigh. He should not have taken them so lightly.
So later on the introduction finally happened, followed by Asuma teaching his new team with Babecue.
Chapter 19: Chapter 19 : Barbecue (Rewrite)
Asuma Sarutobi was a chill and badass Jonin from the Leaf. He decided to welcome his new team in a kickass way.
Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Kirito were in for a damn good time on their first day together.
Asuma picked a sweet spot on the outskirts of the village for a barbecue, surrounded by tall trees and the soothing rustle of leaves.
If Kirito didn't know any better, he'd think Asuma was DIY-ing to save some cash.
He set up a makeshift grill with his badass trench knives, ready to cook up a feast for his crew.
The smell of sizzling meat filled the air, teasing the hungry stomachs of the new squad.
As Shikamaru, Ino, and Kirito rolled up, Asuma welcomed them with a charismatic grin. "Welcome to Team 10! Today, we're breaking the ice with a damn barbecue.
This is my way of treating you for not only passing my test but also kicking my ass.
That doesn't happen often and it will be appreciated that only we know about it," he declared, the smoke from the grill adding to the laid-back vibe.
Shikamaru, always with a lazy expression, mumbled, "Troublesome," but his eyes hinted at some interest.
Ino couldn't contain her excitement. "Asuma-sensei, you know the way to our hearts! This is freakin' awesome!"
Kirito quietly observed the scene, intrigued by the natural camaraderie of this team. 'I didn't like that Choji had to go, but there's nothing I can do. Still, I dig the team. I'm with Ino, and Shikamaru is the second-best boy I could ask for, after Naruto,' Kirito thought to himself.
As the meat cooked to perfection, Asuma encouraged his team to spar.
Shikamaru reluctantly agreed while Ino and Kirito were more than eager to show off their skills.
Laughter and clashing kunai filled the air as the team had a kickass practice session.
Asuma, the skilled smoker, schooled the team on grilling techniques and shared ninja stories.
He even threw in a game of "Ninja Poker" with shuriken instead of cards. The winner got the honour of flipping the next batch of meat.
As the sun set and the sky painted a canvas of warm hues, Asuma gathered the team around the crackling fire.
They shared stories, cracked jokes, and bonded over delicious food. Asuma's knack for creating a relaxed yet challenging vibe allowed the team to form a connection beyond being a ninja.
By the end of the evening, around the dwindling fire, the team felt a sense of unity.
Asuma, with a cigarette in hand, looked at his new crew with pride. "This is just the beginning, Team 10.
Get ready for a shit-ton more adventures and plenty more barbecues," he declared.
Under the starlit sky, Team Asuma forged bonds as strong as Asuma's badass trench knives.
The barbecue not only filled their stomachs but also ignited the flames of camaraderie that would guide them through the challenges of the shinobi world.
Chapter 20: Chapter 20 : Team Test Report (Rewrite)
Konohagakure No Sato.
Hokage Office.
It was a busy day in Konoha as all the Jonin Sensei made their way to the Hokage's office to report on whether their teams had passed the Exam or not. The exam was a crucial step for the young genin to prove their abilities and advance in rank, so the tension in the air was palpable.
Kurenai Yuhi, the elegant yet fierce Sensei of Team 8. She entered the room, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuga, were her students. "Hokage-sama," Kurenai bowed respectfully, "I'm happy to say that my team has passed the exam."
"Shino Aburame is just like his clan. He is very calculative and sharp. He remained calm throughout the test and worked with his team well. The only problem was that he was not leader material. He lacks the charisma to do so.
Kiba is loud and needs a lot more work to tone down his voice. He also is arrogant but at the same time, he is loyal just like all the Inusuka people. His performance was adequate but needs refining.
Hinata Hyuga is good with her Bayakugan but is timid and needs to be more confident to become a strong kunoichi.
Overall, I pass my team and will let team 8 official from now on.
Kakashi, the skilled Sensei of Team 7, arrived soon after, his book still in his hand. Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno were his students. "Hokage-sama," Kakashi greeted, "I'm glad to say that my team has passed the exam as well."
"Sakura Haruno is a fangirl and besides her academy test result and her quick thinking, she lacks all the core expectations to become a kunoichi. But at the same time, she is also very good at chakra control and could become a good kunoichi, especially in the Medic department in the future."
"Naruto is strong but lacks basic shinobi instincts and also needs a lot of work on his basic. Had a lot of chakras to burn and also is very clever when he needs to be" Said Kakashi.
"Sasuke Uchiha is on the other hand a troublesome guy. He did not cooperate with his team and fought me alone. Of course, he loses but he is stronger than any Genin I have seen. I don't know how the guy did not get the Rookie of the Year award and how that other kid Kirito was able to defeat him."
"Overall, one is an idiot, another one is a fangirl and the last one is an avenger with a bad temper. I would have not passed the team but in the end, they somehow worked together and according to the orders I had to pass the team" Said Kakashi with a sigh.
The city council was putting pressure on the Hokage to pass Sasuke. The reason was simple. They wanted to get their daughters to marry Sasuke the last loyal Uchiha and wanted to gain clan status in the village.
Even Hokage was having problems with this issue. Hiruzen could have done something about it but currently, he gets all of his political power because of a few clans with are loyal to him and the civil council. It was because of them that he was able to stay in power and thus he couldn't directly go against them.
Asuma was the last one to come. He was the team sensei of Team Nara, Kirito Uzumaki and Ino Yamanaka were his current team. "Hokage-sama," Asuma greeted the Sandaime Hokage, "I'm pleased to report that my team has passed the exam with flying colours."
Even after Asuma's late arrival, Hiruzen did not say anything to him. Hiruzen was most interested in the current team 10 and their test result. After all, Kirito was in there, who suddenly showed incredible talent which he was hiding in the academy and became the rookie of the year. Not to mention, he too is a Jinchuriki of the Village.
He was the reason why Hiruzen had to change the current team placement and let Asuma have Kirito Uzumaki in his team rather than Choji.
He had to put Kirito in Ino's team because he wanted Kirito to make more bonds with the village and currently Ino had a crush on Kirito and even Kirito is good friends with the Yamanaka girl.
He is just as dense as his father. Hiruzen remembers how dense Minato was when dealing with Kushina and her feelings.
"Ino is strong but at the same time is a Kirito fangirl. That is holding her back not to mention that she needs a lot of physical training and Taijutsu practice to get any good at hand-to-hand fighting. Right now she is not good in close combat fighting but the girl is pretty good at her clan mind control and taking over Jutsu. She was able to take over me with the help of her team." Asuma Continue.
"Shikamaru is lazy but is very smart just like any Nara man. He is a good strategist and came up with a good working plan for his team very soon. The only problem in him is that he lacks charisma and is lazy as hell."
"Finally, Kirito Uzumaki. He is the best among all the rookies Genin. He was able to come up with a good strategy with Shikamaru. At the same time, he was also able to gather his team and make them work together. Both Ino and Shikamaru listen to him and he also has the Charisma and ability to be the leader in the future.
He is very strong and fast. His fighting style depends more on speed but the power behind his strikes was not bad at all. Able to use Shadow Clones Jutsu and was prepared enough to get more information on myself. I will say that he is already at Chunin level and the only thing he is lacking is experience."
Everyone was surprised at this. The fact that they did not know that Asuma did not tell them how alike Kirito is to Minato.
Hiruzen also was not expecting this. He started thinking in other directions but stopped himself and focused more on the current situation.
Hiruzen listened to each of Sensei's reports with a sense of pride and relief. With all three of his top Jonin Sensei reporting success, he knew that the future of Konoha was in good hands.
As the Sensei and their students left the Hokage's office, Hiruzen felt a sense of accomplishment and at the same time a hint of cunningness.
