I do not own Naruto or Megaman Zero.
Chapter 3: Graduation
(Timeskip: 4 days)
Naruto walked into the Academy classroom 30 minutes early. Seeing no one else was present, he took a seat by the window and took out a box. Inside the box was his newest creation. A perfectly functioning Portable Transerver. It was connected to the Resistance Base's Operation Room. He just needed to tweak it to allow transfer without an Operator being stationed at the base.
Soon enough, 30 minutes had passed and students filed in. Having finished 8 minutes prior, Naruto took the time to observe some of them.
First, there was Kiba Inuzuka. He is brash, loud, and easily angered. His only techniques are the Academy 3 and his clans lower level jutsu. He uses the Inuzuka taijutsu and always fights alongside his dog Akamaru. He has delusions of grandeur regarding shinobi life and is a shameless lecher. Naruto has a bet with Kiba's sister, Hana, on whether or not he'll die in the field or at the hands of a kunoichi that he is stupid enough to piss off.
Next is Shino Aburame. Quiet, focused, and prepared are the words Naruto would use to describe him. Unfortunately, he too relies too much on his clan's techniques and is far too socially awkward for Naruto's comfort.
Next is Hinata Hyuuga. She is...odd, for lack of a better word. The girl is your proverbial anti-Hyuuga. Shy, easily embarrassed, keeps to herself, and has an unnaturally extreme aversion to violence. It makes Naruto wonder why she chose to become a shinobi.
Next is Choji Akimichi. He's kind...too kind if you asked for Naruto's opinion. That level of kindness is not something a shinobi can afford to have. That's not to say kindness is a bad thing, it's just that Choji takes it to an extreme that makes him unfit to be a shinobi in Naruto's eyes.
Then, there's Shikamaru Nara. If you asked Naruto to summarize his entire being it would be that he has an I.Q. of 200, but 0 motivation. His tactical prowess more than makes up for his lack of power.
Next is Ino Yamanaka. Her skill set is at the bare minimum and her dieting has left her physically weak. She fawns over Sasuke Uchiha.
Ino's rival is Sakura Whor- I mean Haruno. She is a Sasuke fan girl as well, only she has no talent as a shinobi in ANY area. She is nothing more than a meat shield in terms of usefulness, and even then, Naruto may be overestimating her.
Finally, we have Sasuke Uchiha. With a 10 foot pole shoved up his ass and the inborn arrogance of his clan, he is the most disgusting child that Naruto ever had the misfortune to meet. After his clan was killed off by his brother, Itachi Uchiha, the civilians practically worshiped him. He fails to realize that none of the village's shinobi give a two-bit, flying fuck about him or his clan. Their reasoning is that bloodlines die out all the time and the tension between the shinobi and the Uchiha was at an all time high.
As Naruto was contemplating whether or not he should finish what Itachi started, the teacher, Iruka Umino, had entered the room. Iruka was skeptical about Naruto being a properly behaved student, but quickly realized that he had only been so brutal with Neji because of the boy's attitude towards Hinata. When they got into the classroom, he showed himself to be quite well mannered. He is the only student who never complains about work and his skill is well above his classmates.
Deciding it was time to begin, he motioned to Naruto, who nodded. Over the years, Iruka had noticed that he had very powerful killing intent, and had him use it to quiet down the class. Everyone instantly shut up when they felt Naruto's K.I.. The fact that he told them that he only uses 2% of the full strength of his K.I. drove home the point that he had rightfully earned his placement as Rookie of the Year.
Iruka called up students to perform the Substitution, Transformation, and a Clone jutsu after the written test had ended. Naruto noticed that his fan girls took his words to heart when he said that he preferred strong kunoichi over beautiful ones. Hell, 3 of them even made a lightning clone! Even if he only had 7 fan girls, the skill they showed was impressive.
A few minutes later, Naruto walked back to his seat with his headband loosely around his neck. His hair was slipped through the gap between his neck and the cloth to limit how it flowed since it was long, but it still flowed freely down to his knees to emulate Zero. He had gotten a top score that broke the previous record set by Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage. He would undoubtedly be placed as Rookie of the Year. Tuning out Iruka's needlessly long speech about shinobi life, he eventually heard the bell ring. He exited the Academy and activated the Portable Transerver. After entering his room in the base and activating the defenses, he flopped onto his bed, exausted from his lack of sleep the night before. He would need a good night's sleep this time if he wanted to pass his Jonin sensei's test.
