Chapter 17: Graduation
Konoha…
A month can be a long duration if you are waiting for something last night was the longest night of my life since I was not able to get a moment of wink because of the tension of today's exam and my eyes closed in my unconsciousness as I fell asleep without realizing it but luckily for me Naruto woke up and called me for playing early in the morning because of today's vacation for Graduation examination.
However, I declined him after explaining that I need to go and attend something important and he did drag long because of Shikamaru and Choji waiting for him in the park.
"Sorry for being late Iruka Sensei. " arriving at the entrance I found Iruka-sensei waiting for me with a serious face however the moment he discovered my dark panda eyes his anger and serious face instantly turned into that of a worried face as he asks me "Are you sure you want to attend the examination you know you are still too young and there is a long time ahead of you for graduation. "
"I am well aware, however... " hearing my frim decision Iruka-sensei gave a nod at me as we resumed our journey towards the exam hall as Iruka-sensei explains to me "Although I have never mentioned it in the classroom, however, I want to tell you that your class is the first students I am teaching and this is my first year in the educational system and as a job of a Teacher.
Although I don't have much experience and don't know how to help students however I will try my best to help you in your progression so don't give up if you aren't able to graduate because I will help you and you can count on me. "
Man his thinking is truly passionate and I kind of respect him now even though he did not teach me much however this simple word is good enough as I said with a smile looking at him before entering the exam hall "Thank you Iruka-Sensei. "
"It's alright Kazuna. " he replied with a satisfied smile as he heard Takashi-sensei calling out "You are late Iruka. "
"Sorry, Takashi-sensei. " Iruka-sensei apologized for me as I walked together with him and from the looks of it, almost everyone has left the room leaving behind only Takashi-Sensei who takes a deep breath before saying "Whatever this is my final year just be some with it will you. "
"Kazuna can you perform the transformation jutsu you were learned during the class? " Iruka-Sensei asked me as Takashi-Sensei looks at me with a curious face.
"Whom do I transform? " I asked him back with a serious face as he turns towards Takashi-Sensei who replied with a serious face "Try transforming into 3rd Hokage I don't want to make things hard for you. "
"Understood. " giving an understanding nod I started making hand signs " (Dog+Boar+Tiger) Transformation Jutsu. "
**Puff~**
The moment I finished making hand signs and called out the Jutsu name I a white smoke covered my body and when it vanishes I have already transformed into Hiruzen and asked with a serious he shows me all the time "Now what do I need to do next? "
"Now try performing the Academic Clone jutsu? " finally Takashi-Sensei said moving his body a bit as I can see the surprise on his face and giving a nod started making hand signs "(Tiger+Boar+Ox+Dog) Clone Jutsu. "
**Puff~** **Puff~**
After I finished making hand signs two smoke appeared behind me as two clones of me in the form of Gramps appeared as I asked in unison with them "What more do I need to do? " 3X
"Iruka did you caught him making any hand signs? " instead of paying attention to me Takahashi-sensei asked Iruka-sensei with confusion who also has a surprised face and replied to me with equal surprise "I only saw him making the Dog sign at the very end nothing more. "
"Did he pass the written examination? " Takashi-sensei asked with a nod as if he is making a hard decision.
"Yes, he got a perfect score. " Iruka-sensei replied with a serious face.
"Kid you have passed the graduation exam take this headband and return tomorrow when we will assign you to a squad and introduce you to your Jounin instructor. " Takashi_Sensei said handing me a Konoha Shinobi headband as I said with a smile "I understand. "
"Then I will be leaving first Iruka you take care of the rest. " after that Takashi-Sensei left in a hurry.
After that Iruka-sensei helped me equipping my Shinobi headband we left the academy to celebrate my graduation in the Ichiraku Ramen but on the way, I found Naruto and gang playing tag and decided to invite them after asking for permission from Iruka-sensei as Naruto, Choji, Shikamaru, Hinata, and Neji joined us but why is their water in Iruka senses eyes.
Maybe he is happy about my graduation.
"Is that a real Shinobi headband Kazuna? " asked Shikamaru with an uncertain tone pointing at my headband he someone finally discovered it and without hiding it I replied with a proud face "The real deal. "
As if no one believed me they turn towards Iruka-sensei who explained with a smile "Yea everyone he had applied for early graduation and passed the exam with a perfect score and now Kazuna is also a Shinobi of the village as a Genin. "
"Bo way~ " 5x every exclaims in unison when the Ramen arrived and we started eating while discussing various things and them saying they will not let me leave them behind and they will also apply for earlier graduation next time and catch up to me soon.
After the celebration for my graduation, we departed as I followed Neji and Hinata together with Naruto to inform Aunt Hinako about my graduation.
"Kazu… Kazu… " the moment we arrived at Hinata's house we saw little Hanabi pointing at me and calling my name while being im Aunt Hinako's arms as she says "Quickly take her in your arms or she will start crying then I am not sure hie to stop her. "
"Come to elder brother Kazuna and give a hug Hanabi-chan. " I said with a smile while taking Hanabi who smiled towards me as I pat her in the head and soon started playing with her making Hinata angry at me "Not fair Kazuna she is my sister I also want to play with her give her to me Kazuna? "
But without caring for her protest I continued playing with Hanabi making Hinata angry at me and leaving inside with a puffed face as Naruto approved us and tried to take Hanabi from me just to get a punch in the nose and roll on the floor "She is so violent and I am sure when she grows up she might become more violent than Hinata-chan. "
"What is that Shinobi headband about Kazuna-san? " Aunt Hinako asked with a smile as she looks at me and I explained with a smile "I had applied for an earlier graduation…"
