The ninja's tool classes and weapons passed without any major incident. Now, it's time for chakra classes and hand seals. Nothing big, I didn't realize it. The instructor began to teach twelve basic hand seals. He took out a chart describing the skill and hung it on the board.
The children began memorizing hand seals. The instructor did hand seals one by one to show us. After we memorized the seal, he gave the leaves to all of us present in the class and taught 'Leaf Concentration Exercises' to help us focus more and improve our Chakra control. I was quite bored in class and all my excitement from before subsided. I can learn better things at home from my mom and dad.
Guess, I will only send the Shadow Clone from tomorrow onwards. My Chakra reserves are very high, so no one would be suspicious of me for using clones as a substitute. If that was the worst, I could only ask for an early graduation. After all, Kakashi graduated from the Academy in just 4 months at the age of five and became Chunnin at the age of 6.
After the academy lesson was over, I walked out of the Academy with a bunch of fangirls chasing behind me. It's an advantage of being an Uchiha with a cool appearance and a cool demeanor, but I get headaches due to their constant distraction.
'I'm thinking of ways to survive here and enjoy myself at the same time. But the balance is difficult, I have to relax from time to time. When Ramen Ichiraku will be opened, I will be the first customer to try that Ramen.'
After exiting the entrance of the Academy, I blinked and disappeared from their sight. The girls kept looking for me for a while. I watched them while hiding behind a tree as they all dispersed. I went back to the Academy to see Instructor Jounin.
I went to the front Training venue and sat under a tree as I meditated while waiting for the Jounin instructor to appear. After 15 minutes of waiting, the jounin instructor appeared in front of me. There was a girl about 9 years old with him, apparently his daughter.
During class, I didn't pay much attention to Jounin. But now I started checking out his appearance.
He has black hair and red eyes. I was shocked when I saw those eyes and for a moment I thought he was an Uchiha. I looked into his eyes intently and noticed the lack of tomo in his eyes.
'So, he's not an Uchiha.' As I kept checking it.
She has a distinctive jawline and her standard jounin outfit has longer sleeves than usual. He wears blue Shinobi sandals and ties his forehead protector like a bandana to his head.
I ignored the girl while continuing to check on Jounin. The girl was irritated by my attitude as she angrily snapped,
“Dad, why did you bring me here to the academy? I'm already a genin, why should I come to the academy? ”
He pointed at me and asked,
"And who is this rude man?"
I'm confused by his behavior.
'Why am I being rude? Aren't you the rude one? You called me here for no reason, I have training to do. Stop wasting my time if there are no problems.'
"My name is Izuna Uchiha. I just joined the academy today. ”
I introduced myself to the girl when I started checking her out.
He had long wild black hair that reached all the way to his upper back. His eyes were similar to his father's, red eyes with a ring inside. He was wearing a standard genin kunoichi outfit with a forehead protector tied around his forehead.
Her appearance seemed familiar to me from clicking my thoughts.
'Shoppers! Wasn't he Kurenai as a child? It was pretty wild, I didn't expect to meet him. I tried to remember the name of Kurenai's father but could not remember it. Maybe he was never mentioned in the anime or a small side character.'
As if beckoned, Kurenai began to introduce herself, instead,
“I Kurenai Yuhi. I graduated this year from the academy and now I am genin.”
He showed me his forehead protector. I looked at him like I was looking at an idiot. Although I don't mind getting in touch with him but for now I have priority. I looked at Kurenai's father and asked, I asked,
He nodded at me as he began to introduce himself,
“I Shinku Yuhi. One of the jounin instructors at the academy. Although you hurt your classmates, it is not a deliberate act. I didn't call you here for that. What I'm interested in is your genjutsu? I specialize in genjutsu and kenjutsu, but I am busy with work from the academy. ”
He pointed at Kurenai as he spoke,
“Your genjutsu skills are pretty good. So, I want you to train with my daughter Kurenai and help her practice genjutsu.”
I shook my head in denial as I said,
“I'm sorry Sensei! I'm just a little kid. What can I teach a genin and I also have to do some training after the academy and I will not be able to help him.”
Shinku was disappointed with my response, but he tried to persuade me as he showed.
“In addition to Genjutsu, I am also an expert in Kenjutsu, if you want, I can train you in Kenjutsu while you help my daughter with her genjutsu training.”
I pondered for a moment, 'It seems like this is not a bad idea, I can learn kenjutsu while also practicing genjutsu. Also, I was able to pass through the class with the help of Shadow clones and in that time train Ninjutsu and Shurikenjutsu.
I made my plan as I nodded to her,
“OK sensei! I ready. Tell me when and where to start training.”
Shinku replied, “We'll start tomorrow after your class is over. The location will be the training ground of 5 villages if it is okay with you. ”
"okay! I will be there after the academy every day. Thank you Sensei!, I will leave now.”
After Izuna left, Kurenai questioned Shinku,
“Dad, why do you want a child who has just joined this Academy to teach me genjutsu. Aren't you a better substitute for teaching me? What can the boy teach me?”
Shinku shook his head and replied,
“The boy has a very high Genjutsu talent. It took some effort to eliminate the genjutsu thrown by him. He is only 5 years old and still growing. Imagine if he was your age, how strong would his genjuts be? So, that's the reason I chose him to help you with your Genjutsu training. Other than him, I can only think of the members of the Kurama clan, but they are difficult to deal with.”
"I'll believe you if you say so, father."
Kurenai nodded to his father but he was unsure of his father's words and wanted to test it himself.
I walked out of the academy when I decided to ignore the training for today and just go around the village. This was my first time walking in the village alone. I had some spare change given to me by my mother. So, I decided to spend it tasting Konoha street food.
After walking around for a while, I saw a food stall selling some Takoyaki. My stomach was rumbling when I was hungry. I went to the stall and bought one serving with six Takoyaki. I began drooling at the golden balls of fried dough containing pieces of octopus, the rest of the tempura, pickled ginger, and onions. The aroma was dazzling as I started to look around to find this great place to eat Takoyaki.
Looking around for a moment, I found a bench on the corner of the street. Someone was sitting on a bench with his head down. I approached the bench and was about to sit on it when the man noticed my presence and looked at me.
Both of our eyes met and I was surprised to see this person here.
