[Jin's first person PoV]

Sitting on the averagely crafted long academy bench with equally long tables placed before them. I, Jin am currently in one of the academy classrooms listening to the instructor's rambling about "how great his pile of leafs are and how we need to burn the pile" speech. Honestly, he's better placed in the interrogation department and preach his will of burning weed to some prisoners and reduce their IQ.

And I'm bored enough to the point where I started to find the table's craftsmanship more interesting than his nerve grinding ramblings. As an adult that had survived college and had a job with stable income in my previous life, the academy curriculum is basically a quiz for dummies in my opinion. Technically, all I need is to cultivate my physical prowess and some combat experience to be able to skip a few grades or even graduate early. But, heck no!

Despite the instructor's IQ reducing preachings, I am not mentally retarded to sign away my happiness and stable life. Both itachi and Kakashi are the best examples. Both graduated early and their life is one big shit show. The sociopathic Uchiha killed his family and relatives cause an old cripple told him so. Itachi might be intelligent but lacked critical thinking. Kakashi had more emotional trauma piled up than I would liked to count.

Instead of graduating early like the so called 'prodigies', I would rather sacrifice a few brain cells in exchange to avoid the accursed title of so called 'prodigy'. I am already on that shit flinger Hiruzen's radar, I don't need Danzo the grafted eyeing my body parts as well. Until I completed my Legacy template, I would rather not be in conflict with the evil illuminati of konoha.

Of course it doesn't mean I was slacking off the entire time. Having something to believe in is mentally very important. Danzo the grafted as an example, he committed countless acts that are so atrocious that any sane human would die from insomnia due to not able to sleep out of guilt. But he was able to justify his actions and not loose an ounce of sleep because he "believes" in his "will of the root" that his actions are for a greater good.

So, I too have put together my own "will" that is based of the so called "will of fire" with a few parts 'edited' to suit my needs. It will help me preserve my morality in upcoming killings to resolve myself of the guilt I will be feeling from taking a life. A codex so to speak. Also, with this I want to test out a theory of my •weapon crafting talent•. I Wanted to know, if my talent only effects physical weapons I create or if it also works on a philosophy that had been weaponized such as a propaganda so to speak. An experiment to past the time, but no less interesting.

After some agonizing hours of burning leafs preaching later, where I was practicing the Leaf sticking exercise with a piece of paper under the desk to past the time. Finally, the instructor decided to move on to the more practical lessons. since I sat in the back of the class close to the window, tuning out most of the instructor's brain cell wasting garbage was far easier than sitting in the front.

[scene change]

Outside, on the School grounds with my back towards the academy building. I am currently looking at an unnoteworthy uchiha facing off a random civilian born who is equally unimportant in my opinion. Unlike in a few fanfics I read in my previous life, it wasn't a one sided beatdown. The civilian born was able to hold his own against the attacks of the uchiha kid for a decent while before being defeated via stepping out of the circle.

Myself on the other hand am still waiting for my turn to fight someone. Standing at a not so far distance from my class mates, I couldn't help but to feel gloomy, due to the children my age keeping a distance from me. Due to me being naturally taller than most childrens my age and the additional effect of my passive perk •Intimidating presence•, I am basically giving of a strong "Don't fuck with me, you filler character" vibe.

Since at the start of the first year, I did have to beat up that one brat that thinks he is hotshit and tried to teach me a lesson with his band of cronies. Spoilers, I introduced them to the classic way of John cena takedowns ..... the hard way. Where I introduced their faces to the fine polished wood floor with my superior half senju physic. Although the gang of mobs were able to land a few decent hits on me, but the problem is that I won't go down no matter what they try.

After that they somehow got an upper class man subscribed to their cause, but he too was introduced to the polished sensation of the clean wooden floor faster than the gang of cronies can even cheer him on. After that, I heard that the upper class senior had quit the shinobi program but that is non of my concerns.

That's why my fellow cutthroats wannabes are avoiding me like I would tear them apart like a tiger at the smallest provocation. Just because I beat up some morons that would probably become cannon fodder in the future. I am trying my hardest, but I find myself couldn't care less than I already do.

"Jin Kurama, Hyuga Hokuto, your turn next." The instructor announced. I sighed in irritation. it's been five months now since I have been paired with the Hyuga branch member. Then again to be fair, this Hyuga is the only student that can give me a challenge. "Let's do our best." Hokuto said. He is a rather optimistic person in contrast to a certain fate obsessed Neji Hyuga that hadn't been born. We get along well, in my opinion. Speaking of classmates that I deemed noteworthy, there is also that one Uchiha version of Hinata. From what I heard from Hokuto, since he is my only source of social interaction. The name of the Uchiha stalker girl is Kobeni. The name reminds me of that one character from chainsaw man anime that is constantly on the verge of a mental breakdown. I have absolutely no idea why she is behaving like a nervous Hinata when everytime I stare at her.

From the edge of my vision I am able to spot the stuttering Uchiha. As usual, she starts to fidget like a rabbit on caffeine. I have absolutely no idea how I garnered her Hinata reaction towards me. I mean, I did caut her following me on my way to my part time job at Higurashi weapon shop. Had she been a Hyuga, I wouldn't have noticed her since Hyugas have the ability to see through objects and there for wouldn't necessarily need to stick their heads out from the corner to see me. Worst part is, every time I tried to talk to her she started to fidget and instead of fainting, she runs away fast enough to leave a dust trail.
