The Dao of making friends

Posted another auxiliary chapter with the map, check it out

(Hanami POV 2 months later)

Two months have passed since I begun to train with Yagura. If I could summarize it in very few words it would be "Getting Beat, Learn Sword, Learn Jutsu".

Not gonna lie it was freaking hell but efficient so I won't complain. My Kenjutsu is great, the sword style I "created" is hard, compensates a lot tho. Maybe it's because I'm very young but I learn pretty much everything so quickly that Yagura almost had a heart attack when I learned and almost mastered complex jutsus in 2 months, not only that but making a completely new style augmented with water.

Now the important stuff, I got myself a uniform and a dope one, a small blue kimono with white clouds on it paired black shinobi pants and sandals (Urokodaki's style).

In two days the academy begins and I am totally ready. Right now Yagura and I are training Kenjutsu, obviously he's a tough opponent and has incredible techniques but I can match his 15% attack power and speed.

This isn't that important for now but in this two months I acquired a dream, two actually. Become the strongest Shinobi and explore every single place in the planet (Map is on discord server), of course this would take a super long amount of time but one of my wishes were to increase my lifespan when I absorb vital energy so it doesn't matter.

Now that I recapped everything here I am trading sword strikes with him. While he's only defending I am striking full force blows powered by water which he blocks with ease, I jump back and quickly make hand signs "Katon: Great Fireball!" a 3-meter radius fireball hurled towards Yagura as he casted another jutsu

"Suiton: Water Cannon" RIP fireball...

And I obviously lost after a few strikes...

(Two Days Later)

'*Sighs* Ah shit, here we go again' I thought as I opened the class door. The class was currently empty but I felt a presence on the roof, I didn't sensed a single bit of hostility from it so I decided to reveal him/her "Just so you know I've already sensed you" The presence flinched and a piece of the ceiling opened and he fell

"As expected of the Mizukage's student. This is a test so don't tell anyone I'm on the ceiling" The teacher said as he jumped back in the roof.

'Since I am alone now I sleep...' I thought and fell asleep.

*poke poke* 'Who dares to poke me in my sleep!!!!' I yelled in my mind. I open my eyes and see a short girl with brown hair wearing dark blue clothes "Can I sit here?"

"Sure" I move sideways and she sat close to me "What's ya name?"

"M-Mei Terumi" she stuttered nervously from my sudden informality

"I'm Hanami Senju, it's a nice to meet you"

*Slam!* Someone violently opened the door. The boy that came in is also short with black hair and a white mask covering his mouth and nose. 'Momochi Zabuza!' Of course I recognized this character, one of my favorite ones from the show, not first place, it will always be reserved for our rap king Killer Bee (#Killer Bee best character).

He ended up sitting at the last row of chairs. Currently there's only the three of us and our teacher inside the ceiling so I just chatted with Mei until the rest of the students arrived.

After they all had their seats minutes passed and the teacher dropped from the ceiling making almost everyone surprise. The only ones that sensed him already were Me, Mei and Zabuza.

The teacher got into place and begun to speak. "Before our class begins I just want to say that I am very disappointed with all of you, only three students discovered my hiding place, congratulations Hanami Senju, Mei Terumi and Momochi Zabuza" The gazes of most Shinobi-wannabe turned onto us, mainly focused on me and occasionally on Mei and even more rarely on Zabuza, just because he's six doesn't mean he ain't scary.

As you can see four months have passed and a general update: Academy didn't teacher me absolutely nothing. I became friends with Mei and was able to exchange a few sentences with Zabuza. My training with Yagura is going well, "well" is a weak word you could say "Absolutely Awesomely Amazing Kooky Crazy Insanely Good" I learned a entire batch of almost a hundred Jutsus.

Water, Fire, Earth and a few Wood that I got from anime I watched (That she remembers). My element tier list for now is 1st place Water, 2nd being Fire, 3rd is Wood and in last place is Earth.

My favorite water jutsu is definitely the Water Dragon. I can do a "meh" Suishouha (Water barrier technique that Kisame used against Bee), well meh is actually a weak word, it's a absolute shit! I can merely create the powerful water tide but that isn't the objective of the jutsu.

Another important thing is that the academy is having a early graduation exam in 2 months. I will obviously do it, there's no reason not to. I mastered all the required jutsu including the water breathing so this will be a walk in the park. Now I just need to use Time Skip no Jutsu again...

(TIME SKIP NO JUTSU!)

Another two months passed and guess what? It was pretty much the same as the other four. Deepened my friendship with Mei but no much. Became acquainted with Zabuza. Trained a lot, improved leaps and bounds.

Now back to the present. In front of the class standing in a line, Mei, Zabuza and I were waiting for our turns to do the early exam. It was really simple, just do a clone, henge, water breathing and gg bois we're done. (I know there a third jutsu but I'm too lazy and sleepy for searching).

Right after the kids that failed it was my turn, my class admirers are all cheering for me and this scene almost made me chuckle. The teacher asks me to go and I performed perfectly not shocking anyone tho.

(I just remembered a very funny meme while writing this paragraph. I was going for a "He asked me to do it" but as a dirty sleepy mind I have I thought weird things, so then I remembered the meme that said "Principal: Unfortunately our teacher died from AIDS (In Portuguese almost every profession or adjective has a male and female version so just consider this as a male)

Female Student that always scored 10: *Deadpan face*)

Now it's Mei turn and then Zabuza's. As expected from the future Mizukage, passed it with ease and so did Zabuza. The class claps for us with no jealousy in their faces at all which surprised me. "The three of you passed the exam as expected. Since we already knew you were all going to pass we already assigned you a jonin for you three man squad" The teacher said.

The door opens revealing the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Short slightly dark hair and blue eyes as well, with a medium sized cup and down parts she totally made my type. She also looked like she's in her twenties or lower.

"Heyo my new students, I am Kirisu Choi and it's a pleasure to meet y'all!"
