7 The Academy

𝙾𝚗𝚎 𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚛 𝙻𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚛

It was 6:00 when I opened my eyes and looked out the window, admiring the morning view before getting out of the bed.

I went into the bathroom and took off my clothes and turned on the shower.

Today was the day I enter the academy, it would be a big step in my life as I would officially be enlisted as a shinobi of The Leaf after I finish the academy.

After I finished showering, I put on a pair of black shorts and grey t-shirt and wore blue shinobi sandals.

It was 6:20 now, so I still had 40 minutes left until I had to head for the academy. I had something different in mind today.

I quickly snuck out of my room and left the orphanage.

I headed towards the Nara Training Ground. 7 ( Siu!!!! ) Since what I was about to do wasn't something I should do in the orphanage's training ground.

'Sprint' I said in my mind.

Activating Ability : [Tier C: Sprint] MAX.

I started running and my speed increased and I quickly zoomed across the streets at the speed a normal genin would have when running.

You might be wondering; What are the tiers? Well I don't really know much about it myself, but I know that they are like levels of an ability and can be increased through continuous training. I reached the max level this tier had to offer and I don't know when I am going to get the next tier.

Speaking of abilities, I got some new abilities and maxed one.

I maxed out the acting ability which now made my lies much more plausible and made me very good at faking emotions and lying.

As for the abilities I got,

[Tier D: Weapon Throwing] MAX.

The ability to throw Kunai, Shurikens, Needles, ETC. Effects the accuracy, power and curving ability of the user's throwing ability.

[Tier C: Reaction] Max. [Added Bonus: Instinct (Active) Ability.] (you know what it is.)

The ability to dodge and react to the enemy's attacks, weapons and ninjutsus. [Instinct] can be activated to highten the user's instinct and dodging ability.

[Tier -D: Taijutsu (No Style) ] MAX.

User's ability of Physical Hand-to-Hand combat.

Currently Unrefined.

[Tier D: Kenjutsu] MAX.

User's ability to use swords and kunais.

We still weren't taught any taijutsu style Or kenjutsu style yet so that was the reason my kenjutsu Or taijutsu were so low.

I also learned the three basic jutsus which probably every clan kid and ninja descendant would have learned before the joining the academy.

I looked and saw that I had arrived at Nara Training Ground. 7 and quickly entered.

What I was about to do was something I wanted to do for a long time but couldn't.

I formed a wolf hand sign and whispered, "Divine Dogs."

I felt a portion of my chakra get used up as a dark pool of black goo formed in front of me.

Out of the black goo, two figures formed, one was a white wolf and one was a black wolf.

Ding! Shikigami: Divine Dogs Unlocked!

The two wolves looked at me, waiting for my command.

I had done it. I had fucking done it!

I looked at the wolves and I felt a mental connection with them, 'Run south' I order mentally.

The wolves immediately darted in the southern direction, leaving me in dust.

I was barely able to see them move.

As the two divine wolves darted off into the distance, leaving me behind in awe of my own accomplishment, i couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement coursing through him. I had finally unlocked the ability to summon the Divine Dogs, a feat i had been striving towards for so long.

With a sense of pride swelling within me, i couldn't wait to see what else i could achieve with my newfound powers. But for now, i needed to focus on my upcoming journey to the academy.

Quickly checking the time, i realized he needed to head back to the orphanage to prepare for my first day at the academy. With a stoic expression, i turned on my heels and sprinted back towards the orphanage, the image of the majestic wolves still fresh in my mind.

I quickly reached the orphanage and snuck into my room and saw the matron there, "Kai! Where were you! You know what? I don't even wanna know. Good, you are ready! Get to the kitchen for breakfast, you need to go to the academy for the opening ceremony." She said.

I nodded and headed downstairs towards the kitchen.

I quickly entered the kitchen and saw all the kids were sitting at the table and I enjoyed them shortly and sfafted eating the breakfast, tuning out the boy who was trying to talk with me.

After I finished the breakfast and got up, I went to my room and got the backpack and the notebooks along with some pencils which were given to us for the academy and headed out of the orphanage.

As I began walking towards the academy, I saw the teriyaki stand of Aiki, who was standing there waving at me.

I approached Aiki and she said, "Going to the academy, Huh? It's like you were so little just tommorow and you are this big now already. Here, have a plate. Consider it as my good luck wish for you."

I smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Granny Aiki." I quickly took the teriyaki plate and gobbled it down as Aiki watched me with a smile.

"By the way Kai, I am gonna make a bigger stand here. Can you help me out with moving around the materials after the academy? I'll pay you for it." Said Aiki.

Ding! World Quest Detected!

Objective: Help Aiki with moving around the materials for her new stand.

Reward: 450 EXP, 500 RYO.

[Accept/Decline]

I rose my eyebrow at the pop up but quickky accepted and nodded at Aiki, "Sure. I'll be here after the academy is finished." I said as I placed my plate down. "Cya Granny Aiki." I said as I turned around and started heading towards the academy.

After sometime, I was out of the clan compound and in the village now as I continued to walk.

When I was walking, I saw a blonde haired boy running towards the same direction in me, he looked disheveled and in a hurry.

I continued walking and soon reached the academy.

Outside the academy, I saw two familiar figures.

Uchiha FUCKING Itachi, Uchiha FUCKING Fugaku, Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Sasuga- Sasuke.

I saw Sasuke turn around and he waved at me with a happy expression.

He waved at me.

Wait.

What the fuck?
