Chapter 7: The Punch of Equality
"And that's all"
Sasuke finished his self introduction, much to his dismay. As a true introvert, such a social act must give him immense pain.
Didn't help that most kids are looking at him like an absolute scum. As usual, racism… clannism? Tribalism? Anyway, as usual, clannism is a strongly appreciated value in Konoha.
Never change, Konoha.
"Now it's your turn." Iruka, the homeroom teacher of Class 3-A, politely tell me what to do.
I go up the teacher stage and stand slacking to the crowd of kids.
"Sup'"
And I move on to my seat in the back.
"wait, you didn't tell them your name!" Iruka lamented.
"They're flipping ninjas. Figure it out to yourself."
The class began to murmur over who is this bozo and why is he so cool/rude/weird.
"Shut up class! Heh, I guess Hotaru-kun is shy. Anyway, his name is Makoto HOTARU and he and Sasuke will be joining us in class A."
"cmon sensei! Why should we let these F class losers join us! They're cramping our style! As if Naruto isn't pathetic enuff!",Kiba barked like the Chihuahua he really is.
Me, I already tune out whatever bullshit dog breath, the most irrelevant character of all time, is saying.
Meanwhile, already the girls are glancing toward me.
Yea. This is what I figure out.
Becoz of my tampering with the canon event, Uchiha clan now mostly intact, but is now treated as the worst clan ever. This means that Sasuke is no longer the hottest 10 years old he would normally be in the toddler dating market.
That nefarious role now fall to me.
A black haired prodigy with sugoi new Kekkei Genkai who is also a cutie. I am basically just Sasuke with blue eyes. At least, back then, my F class caste made me undesirable for most.
But now, I am a rising star. A diamond in the rough. I have finally entered the glorious OC wanking spotlight. It won't be long until everyone will adore me as I can perfectly solve all their problems and I have chicks throw themselves to me like flies to garbage.
I am getting fast tracked to be the Gary Stu OC everyone so much dreaded.
And of course, this means.
Sakura will get into me.
"Kyaaa! He's so handsome!"
Ah yeah, the cursed voice of a pink banshee I so familiar with.
Let me tell you, I despise Sakura with all my heart and her getting married to Sasuke is the the greatest betrayal in Anime history.
Seriously, Naruto x Sasuke is the only ship that make sense in this universe. And I'm not even into yaoi. The fucking useless piece of bubblegum through sheer bullshit somehow married Sasuke and ruined the Uchiha gene forever. No more will you have big tiddy Uchiha waifu.
The only worst ending would be Sasuke marrying Karin.
There's a lot of things I can rant about Sakura, but pretty much it can be boiled into she is just a trash character. Oh, Naruto and Sasuke has unique background, so let's put a normie character here. A normie who is also such a bitch as well as useless by the way. The heroine slot is completely wasted on her. I pick TenTen over her and I don't even like TenTen. Memes aside.
I look around in class. Konoha 9 is staple as usual, but the class being 30 people means there's 21 people, me included who is used to be background characters. They're all kids of unnamed clans the show didn't bother to elaborate. Back in canon, those 21 kids will fail the Jounin Sensei test and sent back to Academy supposedly. That is not the case with this fanfic fanon.
Class A and B is where they groomed the Genin Squads. The cream of the crops. The Jounin Sensei test would simply be a test to teach kids silly values like teamwork and don't betray your friends. They're not going to send us to Genin Corps even if we failed.
I am not looking forward making friends with these elite kids.
Anyway. Apparently I've been in my head this whole time that it's already recess and now the girls starts crowds around me. Sakura being as obnoxious as I remember.
Fuck me. I was thinking to play nice just in case she's doesn't become the bitch after ditching Ino over an 8 years old Sasuke. Seriously, do girls really this obsessed about romance even before puberty? Well, either way, Sakura is as trash as I remember and I have zero intention to tolerate her like Sasuke did.
I draw my fist to the back, harden my grip.
And punch Sakura as hard as I could in the nose.
))))))))))))))))
"I DEMAND THIS STREET RAT TO BE EXPELLED FROM THIS SCHOOL IMMEDIATELY!"
Haruno Karen is so green with rage, she made Hulk looks like a master of zen.
So, I punched Sakura in the face and cement my newborn rep as the absolute douchebag who has no honor and punch girls.
Which is pretty stupid. Since when ninjas have honor?
Whatever silly fangirling that starts to root in Class A was immediately uprooted. I am the asshole that punched sweet Sakura-chan and cackled like a devil.
Welp. At least I am freed from Sakura stupid obsession. Unless she gaslit herself to think that I was just shy and it was all an accident.
Maybe I do need to kill Sakura later.
I stand at the corner of the room as Iruka and Karen (probably not her actual name but whateva) has an intense debate in front of the principal.
Which is the Hokage.
He sighed as he is really has better things to do than presiding over my act of delinquency. That new Icha Icha volume won't read itself.
"Now Makoto, would you explain to us why did you punched lil Sakura?" the old man ask me with sincere attempt of understanding.
"She's ugly. So I decide to do Konoha a favor and eliminate her from the gene pool"
Haruno Karen is probably yelling something fierce but I tweak my brain signals to isolate and mute whatever bullshit she crap out. I really digging the self-gaslit function of my Kekkei Genkai. It really improves my QoL.
"I am too old for this. Madam Haruno, we will punish young Makoto here. But we will not expel him" the old man concludes.
There's probably another cycle of Karening going around but I already in Lalaland watching rerun of Jujutsu Kaisen inside my brain.
)))))))))))))))))
"And that's how I ended up having to clean sewers for the next 3 months."
Naruto and Sasuke are struggling to not vomit as they endure the thick stench of the sewers.
"How can you stand working in here for hours, man! It's so stinks!"
Sasuke is probably trying to say something but he's occupied trying to breath without gagging.
"I just say to myself, the sewers don't stink. It's actually quite fragrant. And voila, it doesn't stink anymore."
"Your superpower is weird!"
"well why you're here anyway? I'm busy." I idly asked as I fish out yet another trash clogging the sewer.
"We figure you want some company!"
I eyed Naruto stupidly. Really? Company?
"wow, giving me company as I dig out trashs from the sewers. Really supportive there, folks."
"we can help you."
"well go on then! What you're waiting for?"
Sasuke immediately declines
"well… err… I'll go back to change my clothes then. My mom would kill me if I ruined this one."
"you better get back fast, Sasuke! There's a lot of trash to be digged out here!", Naruto reminds him as Sasuke Speedrun his way out of the sewers.
))))))))))
Through the power of timeskip, 3 months has passed since my punishment and it is finally over. Konoha sewers are now clean, courtesy to me.
Once I told the 2 doofus that you can just use this D rank hell as chakra control practice by walking on sewage and sticking on mouldy sewer walls. By the time they finished 3 months of sewer training, they probably stronger than their canon self at this age, funnily enuff.
Me? I can't do normal chakra control tricks like that anymore, since all it does just make lightning zapping around.
What I did tho was using it to train my electromagnetism to fling out metallic trash and stick on walls by attracting to the steel within concrete walls. After 3 months of just training electromagnetic manipulation, I can do this.
"Whoa! You really made a sword out of iron sands!"
Yea. Totally ripping off Misaka for that one. I slash down trees and it fall in just a slash. Something about High Frequency blade whatever.
Still, it drain my chakra so much this Magnet Style crap, so I don't think I gonna pull a Gaara anytime soon. Well, what I really wanna do this.
ZANG!!!!
By using electromagnetism as catapult, I can flick magnetic metal such as this steel chip I cut out and shoot it at the speed of Mach 3 minimum. This would be the technique that the Bingo Book will list me for.
Railgun
The To Aru Kagaku ost I have myself blaring in my ears really hype me up.
Naruto and Sasuke booth seeth from envy and sheer awesomeness of the peak Lightning style control I am doing. Yea, I pretty sure the old man was sucking his teeth seeing my toddler ass just nuke the Training Ground 9 by just flicking steel chips. I can feel the ANBU flickering all over the place in panic as I swing my hand around while aiming. Probably studying my technique to copy.
Well good luck with that. Performing the Railgun is a lot more complicated than just charging a metal with a lot of electricity. I don't think they realize yet how magnet and electricity is connected.
"Enough of testing your new jutsu, Hotaru. Let's spar"
Sasuke has enuff with my antics and now yearning to fight me.
Ever since I awakened my Kekkei Genkai, Sasuke has found himself to be harder to beat me. My reflex and autonomous response is now of the chart (for a toddler) because of all the Lightning chakra constantly circulating within me. I was too strong for him now that he had to reveal he had unlocked one tomoe Sharingan this whole time. It's the only reason I didn't just straight up pummel him to the ground, as the Sharingan improves his vision and reflex.
Naruto? Sorry to say, your tanker build will take awhile to shine. For now, Sasuke and I are Taijutsu monsters that wreck everyone in Class 3-A.
Colloquially, we are dubbed as The Scum Trio. The Demon Brat Scum, The Uchiha Scum, and The Girl Beater Scum.
I punched Sakura one time but Kiba latched on it like his lifeline. His status as topdog has completed shattered after me and Sasuke comes along. I mean c'mon Kiba. You're just an overglorified dog keeper. Your clan ain't shit.
Anyways, my spar against Sasuke only lasted for five minutes. That's the issue with my Kekkei Genkai. It drains so much chakra and I have a really low amount of it.
On the bright side, I can recharge my chakra by grabbing live wire, but it ain't like I can just grab an electric cable mid battle. This low chakra issue is something I can only solve by just keep training everyday and let it grow naturally. I probably will never have a Hokage tier reserve my whole life. Now that I am stuck with this stupid main character plot, I need power. More power. There's so much bullshit I need to survive against.
Ya know what. Seals can store stuff right?
"Hey Naruto, did you know the Uzumaki clan was really good at seals?"
"HAAAHHHHH?!!!!"
Fuck studying that kanji crap. Let Naruto worry about it.
