章 4: academy starts[part2]
We go to a grocery store.
All the spices and confectionary were arranged outside, garlic and packs of chips hanging by a wire from the ceiling.
I ask for the things on the list.
The shopkeeper looked through the things and handed me over the bag as I gave him the money.
Then he looks at Naruto.
A deep scowl and a frown. "What a monster!" He snides.
"Get outta my sight." He screams and shoos us.
What the heck?
I kinda glare at him.
"What's the big idea old man? Is that way to behave with a customer.?" I ask coldly.
The shopkeeper looks at me then again Naruto.
"Your damned Uchihas and monsters....you guys two pees in a pod huh! Why don't you get out of my sight before I tell my kid to throw stones at ya? " He hisses.
Ooookkkkeeeyyyyy...cooollll....coooolll.....
The muscles in my eyes and the side of my mouth twitch... Naruto is mumbling something while pulling my sleeve.
"Mister....why don't ya give me my change...we will leave.", I somehow blurt.
"I took what I owe you freak...now scram!" He again screams with a frown.
Okay... my eyes are red.
"You sure you wanna do this old man? Do you really wanna mess with me huh?"
The shopkeeper looked intimidated for a second. Then he looked at something behind me and his face went pure horror.
His eyes shrunk, tamples blue, and profuse sweating.
I look behind but see nothing.
The shopkeeper gets the change from the counter and throws the bills at me.
And...he shuts the shutter down on the shop...leaving all his things outside.
I remained stunned for a second.
Then I start walking home.
Outside the buzzer, I Snap at Naruto.
"Ya got it rough huh....!", I ask Naruto.
Naruto just shrugs," Nahhh!!! They do this all the time. They throw things, spit at me, put me on a high place from where I can't climb down, call me names that I can't even understand aside from monster, it's not a big deal."
"It is... 'cause they are also shitting me along with you. I won't stand for some 3rd class shopowner mouthing Me nonsense. I am a uchiha for a reason."
" well big deal bastard, you're the one who cried to me last night to let you stay with me and you are the one who is hanging around me. It's not my fault that you are getting sneezed at. It's your goddamn burden if ya wanna be with a monster.", Says Naruto as his whiskers are flaring.
I scoff...
"You? Dead last a monster. Oh please....you are not even man enough to defend yourself when those bastards are misbehaving with you! And you wanna be Hokage? For what? For this? That makes you a big idea. Not a monster.!" I scream.
Naruto punches me. I stagger back words from the pouch
His eyes are teary. But there is anger. Their whiskers are now flaring and his hair is on the stand.
"Don't ya dare mock me? I'm gonna be Hokage so that people will respect me. That way they won't look at me like that and....and...I won't have to be alone...
For better or worse...this is only place I have known my whole life....and I love it no matter what. That's why I wanna be Hokage....goddamn it.", he hides his face in his forearm.
I spit the blood that formed in my mouth. That was a hard punch.
I smile.
"Okay....my bad. I'm sorry,", I say...cracking a smile.
Naruto still frowns. I get close. Hold his shoulders.
"Look man....we are roommates like it or not.
I'm stuck with ya. I can't rent a new room...its too expensive. So...this is how it's gonna be.
I will tolerate this shit....untill you become jounin. You gotta be one hell of a ninja to be Jounin and people respect Jounin, without a doubt. If then they talk shit.....imma slit their throat."
Naruto shoves my hands away.
"What's in it for you huh? Why what do you mean....?"
"You mess with my brother ...you mess with me, that's what.", I say smugly.
Naruto suddenly freezes.
Then he snifs.
" no, we are not. You are a uchiha. I don't know who my mother was...but surely she wasn't your mom. Like we have no connection. " He asks confused.
I sigh.
"I guess you are my brother, from another mother."
"From another mother?", naruto was even more confused.
"Look brah...I ain't got all day. Wanna eat or not?"
He violently nods.
We get going.
After we made lunch it was nap time.
A short nap after I get up and start practicing my forms. Do homework, do calografy.
Naruto is still sleeping.
I throw a kunai at him which digs itself by the window and dangles on naruto's face.
"Yep....what the hell bastard?" He gets up.
"You would be dead by now", I grine.
He pulls out the kunai and throws it at me.
I don't move as I know it wouldn't hit me.
Pulling out the kunai from the floor, I look at the pile of books and scrolls sprawled on the table, in the kitchen.
As I go through them, I see he went through a lot of chakra control scrolls and taijutsu stances.
Naruto didn't seem like the studious type to me.
Well, in the manga.....it did show Naruto doing balance practice and chakra training on his own on various occasions.
I guess, he gave up after a while, when he kept on failing tests.
I go through his scrolls and books. Such, monotone and boring language is hard to read even for me...not to mention some of them are calligraphic. What the hell? Why would you make a school ment for academy-level practice calligraphic? Unless it's not for the academy level?
"Oi theme?"
"Nanda dobe?"
"Who gave you all this?" I show him the scrolls.
"Oh...Mizuki sensei gave me those, for my chakra control...I tried reading ....things so hard....."
I felt the scroll on his face.
"This is chunin-level shit. You are not even a genin. Why would you even accept them? Are you dumb on purpose?" I scream.
"Eh! ...I....", naruto stutters.
Then he regains himself. And proceeds to bark at me.
"Nanda konoyaro? Don't shout at me in my own house. What if he gave me chunin stuff...I will become Hokage....it doesn't matter how difficult it is...I will do it. I ain't dumb...!", he screams.
I huff.
"Look brain dead. What will happen if you put a wagon behind a pony?"
"Ehh? What's a pony?", Naruto asks tilting his head ....like the previous outburst never happened.
"It's a baby horse."
"Oh...I knew it was that...a pony won't be able to pull a wagon. It's a baby.!" he says while scratching his head.
"What if ya force it?" I deadpan.
"Why would ya force it? It's a baby!", he still has that grine.
I plunge that kunai into the floor.
"WHAT WILL HAPPAN IF YOU FORCE IT?", now I'm mad.
Naruto doesn't answer, scared of my bloodlust.
" it will get sick. Possibly die. Do you understand that, Naruto Uzumaki?" I glared.
Naruto shakes his head.
I throw the calligraphic scroll away. Is that even a jutsu scroll? And produce a book outta a seal from one of my pockets.
" a guide to chakra control for dummies
By Sarutobi momo" I hand it to him.
Naruto looks at the book and looks at me. With disgust.
I jumped up and stuck to the ceiling upside down. Naruto has a bulging eye.
He takes the book. Reluctantly.
"If ya need a pointer on it....ask me. I'll help your dumb ass.", I snort.
Naruto scoffs but doesn't out right turn me down. Just some slight grumble.
He reads for a bit and then starts practicing immediately.
Instead of the standard boring "sticking leaf to the forehead " practice....it has a water tornado.
You lie down, put a glass with water on your forehead, and try to spin the water using chakra. Can mix some chakra conductive ink to make it easier.
It is a slower process, but more fun and surefire way for someone to get the hang of chakra.
Let's Just hope that he doesn't spill it.
"Spat"!!!
I got wet on my back.
He swirled it so hard that the glass of water went everywhere.
Naruto gets up. Takes another glass of water and swirls it.
"Spat!!!!"
Now my front is wet.
Water goes everywhere.
The kid laughs and jumps with immense joy.
He takes another glass of water and comes to me.
"Oi theme. Look at my new jutsu. "
"Spaaaattt"!
I wipe the water off my face.
"Katon: ",
"Oi theme. I was just kidding."
I finished hand seals.
"Oi...it was my bad. I didn't mean to...
"Firestream...", I pump my chest with air.
"Okey I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Don't burn my house."
"Jutsu"...
I breathe out my finger and naruto braced for impact fearing the worst.
I controlled my chakra pushed it down to a minimum, and suppressed the chakra nature. Basic elemental jutsu doesn't require that much practice if the user has an affinity for the said element. Because the seals themselves draw out the chakra in a specific manner and activate nature.
But if I know how the activation of nature works [ like for wind you need to grind the chakra in the opposite direction], I can suppress it. If I suppress nature, then what is left is the raw chakra left to be molded however the wielder desires, with the astonishing properties of the said nature. It's easy, actually, you just have to do the complete opposite.
Like if it fires nature, that will leave a chakra that is hot and dry. [ for wind you make your chakra go in the opposite direction of normal flow, but that left me with raw chakra and blurry eyes so I don't recommend doing it with wind nature, I still didn't try earth and lighting, so I can't tell]
Then I can manipulate like Gara's sand, to swirl around my body and thus, dry my wet clothes.
I know it's a bit over-engineered and I am sure there are better jutsu to dry wet cloths, but I'm happy to settle with this for now.
I see Naruto with his jaw on the floor.
"What did you just do?" He asked.
I perked my eyebrows and said," I just dried my clothes."
"Yeah, show off I can see that. Did you just use a fucking jutsu to dry your clothes?" He asked. " that is so cool bro, teach me," he said with stars in his eyes.
"Yeah... it's pretty easy if ya try it.", , while brushing my finger under my nose, I say smugly. I pause his jumping with an erect index finger.
"But do that practice properly first. Once you master the art of "tiny water tornado", then I may try to teach it to you," I say in a serious tone.
"Okey. Sen.... bastard. you bet I will master it, naruto pumps their fist in the air.
" And please do it in the bathroom."
######
Sarutobi hairuzen, The 3rd hokage .
He sits crossed-legged on the floor, giving the finishing touches to the large seal that was ordered by the Daimyo.
His 7th daughter's birthday is around the clock and the forces of Konoha are tasked with the honorable duty of protecting the vanue.
There is no way of cutting corners here.
A top-notch barrier is ordered to be made.
With The Uzumaki out of commission and Jiraya out of the village, the old bones rattle to draw that large kanji on the sheet of paper.
"Now....let's wait for them to dry.", the Hokage stood up and stretched his back with a loud crack that even frightened the god of shinobi.
"Is there something on your mind kakashi?", Hokage doesn't look at the shadow as he strides towards his office table.
"That's a loud crack Hokage sama", Says the man in a dog mask.
He puts down an envelope.
Hokage sighs as he slumps down.
"No rest for the wicked", he says.
As Hairuzen looks through the papers,
"The council isn't too keen on putting the Jinjuriki with a Uchiha it seems.", the Hokage lights a smoke in the pipe.
Looks at the masked Anbu waiting for a response.
It's hard to get anything out of a guy who wears a mask on top of another mask.
And Saruto heard, there is another mask under the normal one he always rolls with.
The guy is wearing 3 masks or maybe more right now. [How does he even breathe? , the Hokage wonders.]
Kakashi would be giving a dreamy look if he wasn't wearing the ceramic mask.
"Hokage sama?", he pauses for a bit.
"Have you seen a jutsu that can dry clothes?" He asks.
"If there was I would like to use that right now. Half my work is stuck drying that damn seal," the Hokage chuckles.
Kakashi approaches the seal.
Going through shorthand signs he breaths.
A dry hot air leaves his mouth and instantly dries the gigantic calligraphic seal on the floor.
"What in the Buddha's balls? Kakashi is that a jutsu? To dry objects? ", sarutobi exclaims.
With a smile, he puts his hands on his chin.
"That's a one handy jutsu?", asks the happy Hokage.
He is immensely relieved to think, that one of his ace jounin, who had a suicidal tendency in every mission, is now hearty enough to invest time on such useless jutsu as this.....even if it seemed a bit over-engineered.
"It's harder than it looks", Says a deadpan Kakashi.
Sarutobi gives him the "I can see that " look.
Then Kakashi gives another report envelope.
Sarutobi's amused expression fades as he reviews. He waves his hand and Kakashi excuses himself.
Instead of a smile a smirk forms on his lips.
"Oh my...Danzo would want this one.", he says with a raised eyebrows.
A 6 yo uchiha with an unlocked sharingan.
Has enough chakra amount and control to do basic genin maneuvers, mastered the Academy 3, and is currently the creator of the first-ever jutsu for drying cloths.
That is some next-level chakra control for a 6-year-old. Who knows what he will do when he gets bigger?
"Too bad"
Sarutobi puffs a smoke.
A single spark flies off the pipe and lands in the report, instantly burning it to ashes.
Thus the jutsu that could've been a lifesaver for hundreds of ex-shinobi wives was decided to be kept secret for the sake of the creator's well-being.
["What a shame," Kakashi thinks.]
