บท 4: Dead last
Mito looked at Narumi with a sad expression and said "What should we do? Narumi..." Narumi had a tear in her eyes and said: "We will do anything to protect Naruto-nii."
Flashback ends.
Iruka and Mizuki called the students one after another, they explained to each student what needs to be demonstrated. The exam was made from three parts, the written exam, which was to see one knowledge and strategy making ability, the physical exam showed one taijutsu, Shuriken throwing ability, and physical condition, and then lastly the Ninjutsu which was quite easy, one can pass as long he can make the three following Jutsu - Bunshin no Jutsu, Henge no Jutsu and Kawarimi no Jutsu.
You must be able to demonstrate these three to pass, most of the academy students don't find them hard to do.
Additionally, one can choose to give up on one of these Jutsu and do a Jutsu that is no part of the requirements. It can give extra points and let one pass if he failed in one of the following three.
The exam passed without fail, all the classes passed with no exception, Iruka handed everyone their headband. Menma arrogantly claimed that he was the most amazing while shaming his older brother that just barely passed.
Naruto said nothing throughout the whole time and stayed silent. Iruka walks to Naruto and gave him his headband while saying "Naruto, congratulations. I know you had it harder than the other, but being a ninja isn't an easy thing. I have a feeling that one day you will become a splendid Shinobi."
He said with a smile to the young blonde. Naruto only bowed his head and said: "Thank you for everything, Sensei." Before he left.
Iruka felt some disappointment, he always found Naruto very aloof, Naruto will most of the time avoid speaking with people, and even when he did speak, he will keep the conversation as short as possible. He was very different from his siblings, Menma and Narumi both were very loud and bright. They always said what they felt and acted on their feeling never been afraid of the consequences.
Mito was a bit different she was also very bright and warm, despite being a lot less vocal that didn't stop her from being popular and being very friendly with most of the class.
Iruka thought to himself 'I guess I can't blame the boy, unlike his siblings that being seen as a basic prince and princess in the village, he is being looked in despise.' Most of the village takes Naruto to be a fake and a disgrace to the Namikze name.
Iruka saw Naruto's figure slowly leaving while he kept thinking 'More than that, In every aspect, he is behind his siblings, despite being the eldest.'
Because of Naruto being the weakest child of the Yondaime despite being the oldest and more than that he is even the dead-last in the entire village he was the laughing stock of the entire younger generation.
The fact that he always just barely passing tests is something widely known and there are even rumors that Naruto failed in everything but because he is the son of the Hokage he passed.
Iruka knew it was fake rumors since he was the one that always passed Naruto, but he couldn't help but feel bad. ' I hope I could have helped him a bit more.' and with that, he got back to his job.
One student after another came out of the academy to meet their parents that awaited them outside.
Naruto came out of the academy and saw many parents outside, he didn't put any attention to anyone and kept walking toward that gate of the academy. His headband was in his pocket, he didn't put it on him. Which made people that saw him whisper that he probably failed and that it's better like that.
Naruto ignored everyone and walk when he saw his parents and the three Tannins.
He merely closed his eyes and kept walking. He knew that they are here not for him, but for his siblings, he didn't care by this point.
Kushina saw Naruto walking as longing feelings for her son, a desire to take him to her embrace and never let go, filled her heart. She felt ashamed for every day that she let her son feel not part of her family, for every day that she didn't shower him in love. But now that the Menma, Mito, and Narumi all grow up and they all can finally can take their steps as ninja by themselves, she has no excuse to not give Naruto what she owes him ten times more!
Minato was no different than Kushina, after finally growing his children's in the best manner he could and being sure that they have no hatred or nothing that might cause the child of prophecy to go in the path of chaos. He finally can reconnect with his son again, Naruto always was Minato copy born, since childhood when Naruto started to speak, he always aimed to be like Minato, he claimed he wanted to be the "Second coming of the Yellow Flash!" which made him happy to no end. Now he can finally do it.
Well, If things could only go so easily, Naruto didn't like both of them. This was something both of them knew despite how much they denied it in themselves. They couldn't blame him for that, they bought that upon themselves, but it didn't mean that he is just going to accept it, they are going to make Naruto forgive them, that was something that they both agreed on.
Kushina looked at Minato with a smile and was about to call to Naruto.
