. Happy New Year and have fun reading!
Chapter 2: Going to the academy. My life as a Shinobi begins!
As the rays of sunlight shine over the hills Minato mumbles to himself. He hasn’t slept well because he’s nervous about going to the academy. He gets up, makes himself ready and takes walks out of his door as if it’s the first time he can walk. His mom walks him to the academy. As she smiles and says her goodbyes, Minato goes into the academy.
Minato: Gosh, why are all these children playing around on a playground, I thought we were going to learn stuff here?
Kazumi: Well we’re not in class yet are we?
Minato starts to blush as the girl talks to him. He hopes that she’ll be nice to him.
Minato: That’s true, I just figured we’d start lessons immediately, but that seems silly now.
Kazumi: Haha, yea! My name is Kazumi by the way. What’s your name?
Minato: My name’s Minato, nice to meet you Kazumi!
Kazumi: We’ll Minato, I see Masato is coming. He’s a friend of mine. You want to come along or are you going to stand here alone all afternoon?
Minato blushes as Kazumi teases him. He decides to follow her as he doesn’t really want to be alone on his first day.
Kazumi: Well if It isn’t Masato-chan. I didn’t know a thickhead like you would be allowed to come to the academy.
Masato laughs it off as he goes to firstbump with Kazumi.
Masato: Always the funny one, little Kazumi. Who’s this by the way?
Kazumi: Oh yea, this is Minato. He was standing alone talking to himself so I thought I’d take him under my wing.
Masato: Talking to yourself? That’s not a good thing to do Minato. Haha, anyways, nice to meet you, I’m Masato!
Minato: It only happens once in a while that I talk to myself, don’t worry. Nice to meet you too.
As they laugh and talk, Minato started to like it in the academy. Just as they’re about to go play with the swing they’re called inside by their new teacher, Izumi.
Izumi: Alright children, welcome to the academy. This is the place where you will learn basic skills that you will need once you are a shinobi! Six months from now, there will be an exam and if you pass, you will become a Genin and a real Shinobi! If you want to pass, be sure to practice every day and work hard! Now if you will, follow me to the class room!
The group of academy students follows Izumi to the classroom where they get places. Luckily, Minato can sit next to Masato and Kazumi. They all introduce themselves. The only one that Minato seems to be interested in though, is a girl he hasn’t seen before. She has red, long hair and is just about to introduce herself. Minato instantly a warm feeling inside as he heard her speak.
Kushina: Well, I’m Kushina Uzumaki. I just moved here from The land of Whirlpools. I like taijutsu a lot and my goal is to become Hokage one day!
As she said those last words people start whispering, some even laughed at her. As Izumi told everyone to be quiet, Minato just stared at her. His dream was the same as hers!
Kazumi: Minato, why are you phasing off every time you look at Kushina?
Masato: don’t you get it Kazumi? And you say I’m a thickhead…
Kazumi: We’re hardly 10 years old, how can he be in love? Half of the boys would vomit if a girl kissed him on the cheek!
Masato: Kazumi, half of the boys would vomit if you kissed them on the cheek…
Kazumi: YOU IDIOT, I HATE YOU!
Kazumi hit Masato on the head. A second later, a lump started growing. Minato was glad that Masato had took off the attention as he didn’t want to answer the question anyway. He just laughed it off.
Izumi: Right, everyone here are you schedules. You will have 3 basic classes. One in this classroom for basic lessons, one for taijutsu and one for Ninjutsu. We expect you all to do your best and be good students, alright? Now let’s rehearse some basic stuff.
A week passed and Minato became good friends with Masato and Kazumi. He had his hidden crush on Kushina, although she called him a Flaky Girl type that would never become Hokage unlike her. His father came home from his mission and helped Minato out with his Nature Manipulation lessons as he promised.
Hikaru: Alright Minato, do you remember last lesson?
Minato: Ofcourse dad, how could I forget? The paper wrinkled, so I’m a lightning type user. I’m strong against earth, but weak against wind right?
Hikaru: Indeed son. Now, I’ll learn you a basic lightning forms. Focus on lightning chakra in your hand. Try to think of it as lightning. Basically imagine it flowing around, moving as it wishes.
Minato: Okay dad I’ll try!
As Minato clears his mind, he focuses on chakra in his hand. Trying to become one with the form and bending it to his will. After a few tries, a small spark shoots out of his hand.
Minato: O MY GOD, DID YOU SEE THAT DAD? LIGHTNING JUST SPARKED OUT OF MY HAND?
Hikaru: Well done son, very well done! Try to focus more and practice this for a bit so there’s more lightning, and try to make it last longer.
Hikaru is very surprised about the fast progress of his son. Normally, people don’t learn things as fast as Minato does, especially not at his age. Hikaru’s chest fills with proudness.
After practicing this routine the entire afternoon, Minato is able to hold lightning in his hand and make small sparks erupt from his fingertips. He looks down and sees some ants passing by.
Minato: Die little ants, die! Muhahaha, feel the wrath of Minato’s Fingerlightning attack!
Hikaru: Minato, I told you to leave ants alone. This isn’t something to play around with!
Minato: Oh, right…
As time flew by, Minato learned how to use Lightning even better, up to the phase where he would be able wrap his arm in lightning, and hit an object with it to crush it. Back at the academy, he went inside with Kazumi and Masato to do his written exam, which he passed easily. As for his practical, he had the easy task of making a clone.
Minato: Ermm, Izumi-sensei, can I make more than one clone? One is a bit too easy.
Izumi: If you think you can handle it Minato, go ahead.
Minato easily makes 5 clones, something he could do since before the academy.
Izumi: Well done Minato! You can go outside to the playground and wait until we’re done with the rest.
Minato: Can I just show one more thing please, Izumi-sensei? My dad has been training with me and I learned something really cool!
Izumi: Go ahead then Minato, but make it quick please!
Minato focused and made a stream of lightning around his hand. With it, he punched a nearby chair and blew it into pieces. Izumi was stunned by the fact that a mere academy student could use Nature Manipulation, but she already guessed that Minato was far more skilled than anyone she had ever seen in her class.
Izumi: That is really something you did there Minato… Very well done, very well done indeed… Of course we’ll have to send the bill to your parents for the chair, but very well done my student!
Minato: Oh man, mom’s going to kill me…
As Minato went outside it was obvious that he would pass, but Izumi had a special Jonin in mind to be his team leader. She’d have to talk to the Third about it. Afterwards, most of the class got the word that they passed and were proud Genins now. Minato received his forehead protector with Kazumi and Masato, and they were overjoyed. As of next week, the teams would be made and they were finally real shinobis.
