Naruto: The Way of the Great Lord
Chapter 7 Do You Think You're Ready?

The next morning after Itachi and I did the morning and breakfast hygiene, we found our Father in Jonin's Hidden Leaf outfit. A Standard Flak, along with a Black shirt that has a Konha Military Police emblem on the shoulder, Shin-guards and a Black apron with a white diamond along the bottom.

"Well, you two are up and ready. I've already told Old Man Shisui and he'll be coming here soon."

What would Lord Third say? What conclusion would he have as well? How can we influence his decision? These 3 questions flashed through my head repeatedly while waiting for Shisui's arrival. This meeting will determine my next course of action and plan, I was so anxious that I rubbed my hands back and forth out of the plantation.

There is hardly any information about this Time period mentioned in Anime, and I am in the Generation gray area. Trapped between the Kakashi age group and Naruto's age group. The academy is a way to put a face on the Shinobi who are in this split with me.

The father of the twins looked at his sons, one pacing back and forth you could see the unease on his face while the other calmly watched his brother with a worried look on his face. 'The two made a great team together and had a similar thought process but Itachi preferred observation rather than careful plan preparation, while Ichizo prefers to plan the task of observing the results then plan accordingly.

Together the two would become experts in Dangerous battle tactics. I don't think anyone can escape their calculations. Add Shisui to the mix and they have all the bases covered in Planning, Quick reaction to plans, and perfect execution of plans. I wonder what great thing these three will do as Shinobi.'

After what Ichizo feels as eon Shisui arrives and they begin to walk to the Hokage's house. The village was full of activities, Kiosks and shops lined the streets with people pacing back and forth. Children with happy faces play or ask their parents to buy something, and the presence of the Shinobi that binds everything makes this environment safe and alive.

As they walked in the sun in silence due to the anxiety and nervousness of the 3 children, they arrived at the Hokage house and were asked to wait by the receptionist.

"I've done everything I can to train you to the best of my ability, the three of you need not worry."

His words sounded reassuring but he also felt pressure. 'I can only hope for the best, everything is now in their hands.' This thought flashed through Fugaku's mind as he looked at the door waiting to enter.

After waiting, and Waiting, and waiting again Finally a ninja told them they could get in, they looked out the window and realized that it was past noon, the sun is already low on the horizon and their day has passed.

Fugaku stood up straight and said, "I'm here today asking you to put my children and their friends into the Academy. I know they're young but I've given all my knowledge to them and can assure you that they're ready to take it." challenge."

He retreated and let the three present themselves before the Hokage. Ichizo came forward and started his part, "Master Hokage, I'm sure you know my father's skills and talents, so I'm not going to bore you with the various details of training. However, we no longer want to be silent and do nothing. We want to contribute to our village and our clan. If you give Us the privilege of taking a genin evaluation, try to show you that we have what it takes that we will greatly appreciate."

Fugaku was stunned and in disbelief because of the words his son had just said. ' I think they just want to attend the academy don't miss that and go straight to the exam.'

Hokage was in a similar situation to Fugaku but his experience did not allow anything to be given by his face. He then called an Anbu to seal the room, a short sentence from the young man made him understand that the three were unusual in any definition of a word. He gathered his thoughts and then spoke.

"Itachi, Ichizo, and Shisui it seems that I have underestimated you because of your stature and did not think that you would have the ability to impress me in such a short period of time. I will grant your request, instead I want you to do something for me when you graduate and officially become a shinobi."

Itachi was the first to take on the meaning underlined in his statement. 'After Big Brother spoke, he lost all doubt that we would not be able to pass the examination based solely on his attitude and articulation in Nii-chan's words.' So this time itachi was speaking, "What do you want us to do Mr Hokage?"

By this time Fugaku realized that he no longer had the right to determine what his children would do and decide and it hit him hard. 'The time I had with them as a kid was very short but I knew they would make me proud.'

Lord Third puffed out smoke then said "Your age and mentality will make it difficult for you to get along with children your age, And once I see your abilities during the exam I'm sure your abilities won't make certain kids do it. Accept the gap between them and you. So I recommend Anbu after the exam, you will receive an order from me and there will be 1 person under me in charge of you." The Third Hokage paused for a moment and looked deeply at the Three people before him and did not realize the slightest expression of surprise or lack of understanding so he continued.

"The three of you will be of great help in the upcoming event if you fulfill what Fugaku said to me. Well, do you think you're ready?"
