BECOME MADARA'S GRANDLE IN NARUTO WORLD
ACADEMIES

Another year passed in the blink of an eye, 

I am five years old now. A lot happened the year before.

I mastered the Shadow clone to the point that I only needed one hand seal like Naruto to perform the jutsu. I started training the Multiple Shadow Clone after I begged father to teach me jutsu. I had to show him my perfect Shadow Clone before he reluctantly gave the Scroll containing the jutsu to me. Father cannot perform jutsu as it requires the level of the Uzumaki Chakra to be performed and thus is a Forbidden Jutsu.

My biggest advantage is chakra control. Mom trained me endlessly to practice in Chakra control.

I learned to walk on walls, trees, and even water. It took me a month to master all these techniques. My chakra control improved to Chunnin ability after a year of training with my mother.

Dad also taught me some pretty strong Lightning Element Ninjutsus. I learned the body blink technique from Uncle Yagami, but he warned me not to use this technique in combat unless I awakened my Sharingan. I also learned some Wind jutsu. I just lack the Earth Element and Water Element jutsu. I will get many opportunities to learn that jutsu in the future.

My father trained me in Shurikenjutsu because it was considered a Uchiha specialty. It took me a while to get used to the weight of Kunai and Shuriken, but after a year of regular training, I was able to hone my skills to Chunnin level. If I pair it with the Sharingan, I can even join hands with a Jounin in Shurikenjutsu. He also taught me some basic Taijutsu, which I trained for a while. 

I have decided to start my physical training only after I am seven years old because this is the optimal age to do so. All the bones of the body will be formed and that will be the beginning of the first growth spurt in children.

Mom taught me some genjutsu techniques and I mastered them perfectly. There has been little progress in the development of Optical Illusion techniques. Despite my awareness of the laws of light behavior, it is quite difficult to influence others to fall into illusions. The target of my exam is as usual Shisui, who I bribed to play with me.

I guess it will take another six months to make the optical Illusion technique. My inability to reveal my Sharingan hindered my growth.

But there's good news. The new session for the academy is about to begin and I will be with Shisui to enroll in the academy. 

Today is the academy registration day. Me and Shisui went to the Academy accompanied by Uncle Yagami. Dad was on a mission and couldn't accompany us.

We reached the academy that was near the Hokage Office right at the base of the Hokage Mountain. There's a giant kanji for 'fire' imprinted in front of the building. There were many people gathered in front of the Academy. I saw members of the Hyuga, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Nara, Uchiha, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans along with their children gathered at the entrance of the Academy for their children to participate in the Academy entrance examination. There are many other small clans as well, but I don't know their names because there is no detailed information in the manga or anime about them. I only know about the Sarutobi Clan because it is the Third Hokage clan.

By reading books about the Uchiha clan I came to know some other small clans like the Shimura Clan, Onikuma Clan, Hatake Clan, and Kurama Clan.

There were several Civilians with their Children standing nervously in one corner of the Academy. The children were nervous as they were about to face the other children from the various influential clans. It intrigued me when I wondered how the academy would evaluate Civilian children. Any kid from any clan would learn one or two Jutsu from their clan and thus would definitely enter the academy. But what about civilian children who do not have access to any jutsu. 

My doubts were erased immediately, a Chunnin walked out from the entrance of the Academy and put up a notice. The children of the Ninja family will be assessed in the academy's backyard while the Civilian children will be assessed on the front page.

All the clan children went to the academy's backyard including me and Shisui. All the children started whispering amongst themselves with their friends and family. I began to check around me to find Chunnin or Jounin who would do the test. I suddenly shivered as I felt the gaze that was watching me. He frantically started looking around again but was unable to find anyone.

'Fuck! That perverted hokage again. He was observing the academy recruits. But what's with this look on me.' I grumbled and ignored that gaze as I closed my eyes.

The Hokage Office,

Hiruzen was puzzled when he saw the Uchiha Child looking for something as he looked at her.

'The boy could feel my gaze on him. What monster? Such Chakra sensitivity to such gazes, I will train him as one of the possible Hokage candidates. This kid has too much potential, I won't allow Danzo to recruit this kid. She's mine!.... Uhuns...I mean she'll be in my care.'

I felt the cold running down my spine. Someone has unhealthy thoughts about me. Sure Danzo for sure, it could be that perverse as well, I'm not sure but that's one of them.

I can tell about my ultra-sensitive. This is not kekkai-Genkai or instinct, it is because my strong soul is blessed by God. I could somehow feel any negative intention towards me.

Applause...

Our attention was gathered by a Chunnin who began to announce the rules of the Academy,

“Not everyone can enter the Ninja academy. Some of you will be recruited in the Academy but some of you will fail. Now listen to the Academy Rules,

Rule number one, all of you must love the Village and help maintain the peace and prosperity of the Village.

Rule Number three, all of you must be physically and spiritually healthy.

We will now conduct your tests to determine your qualifications. Follow me whenever your name is announced.

The academy entrance exam begins. To be honest, I didn't anticipate too much from this exam. I have suffered more in my previous life where I had to compete with a million other students, just to qualify for College. Compared to that to be honest, this is a children's game. Well, after all, I was a little kid, but still, this exam will be easy and they can get me to pass at the same time if I want to. But it would be very suspicious, I would at least spend six months in the academy before I request graduation.

Soon, it was my turn when the chuunnin called my name and I went with him. He took me to one of the closed Training halls because there were three Chunnin instructors sitting on chairs and surprisingly in the middle of sitting Hokage himself.

He smiled at me and gestured me to sit on the chair I was sitting in front of him. He gently asked me,

“Why do you want to be a Ninja?”

“I want to be a ninja to grow strong. So, I can protect my loved ones from any danger.” I without hesitation answered.

Hiruzen nodded to himself as he asked further,

“What do you think of the village?”

'Oh! He wanted to test my character, so he put his question to it in such a way. But my old man has no doubts about the village. This village was founded by my Grandfather when he was not manipulated by the Black Zetsu, so, I will fulfill his wish and protect the village. Although I have different opinions about the people in the village.'

“I will protect the village whenever the Village faces danger.”

“What will you do, if you fail the test today?”

'Is he trying to pull Ibiki Morino towards me?'

“Then I will try in the next exam and will succeed.”

Hiruzen nodded as he was satisfied with my response.

'Truly good seedlings.'

He then instructed Chunnin's instructor to test my Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, or genjutsu talents.

I performed well in taijutsu as I fought with Chunnin and suppressed it as the latter held back to the genin level.

For Ninjutsu, I did a Uchiha fireball jutsu and directly passed.

The chunnin instructor trapped me in a genjutsu that I quickly eliminated and even flipped over on a caught Chunnin.

Such prowess would easily make me graduate from the academy. I have to show some talent if I want to graduate early. My only weakness is Taijutsu which I will soon train. The exam ended when I graduated and Chunnin instructed me to come early the next morning for the Opening ceremony.

"Hokage-sama, that child is already as strong as Genin."

Hiruzen nodded as he replied,

"Academy is not just about fighting ability. Children need to interact with each other and also learn subjects from the academy. This may seem excessive during wartime but for now, children still need to grow up under a stable environment and foster positive feelings for the Village."

Chunnin silently nodded as she stared at Izuna's departure.

I walked out of the Training hall as I anticipated my Academy days in the Ninja world.
