Chapter 13 3 Years

Konoha.

Hokage Mountain.

"Leaf hurricane!!!"

Lee jumped high as he kicked towards Gojo standing before with massive airflow around his leg.

"Today, I will finally win!!!"

Seeing his leg just a few centimeters away from the face of Gojo, Lee could already smell the victory as today his youth will finally shine.

Dreams are beautiful, but the reality is opposite to it

Bam…

Lee suddenly was pushed back as he fell to the ground with disappointment evident on his face.

"I lost again... it seems... I have to sweat my youth even more"

"Haha~ Lee, if you make me your goal to surpass, then your youth will never shine"

Gojo seeing Lee pumped up, stopped him from training even more since he was already doing more than his body could withstand.

But sometimes talent is essential; Lee can't beat him simply by hard work; he is the only one honored by heaven and earth. To defeat him, you first should have the power to defy heaven and earth.

But the training maniac didn't listen to him, and after announcing his youth, he again began to train.

Gojo didn't persuade even more and left since he had to go to the academy.

"He's so strange; how can he see with that blindfold on his eyes."

Gojo walked towards the academy as the people looked at him; they had seen a monkey.

Any normal person would find it strange seeing someone like Gojo.

It's the same as holding a giant board with "Look at me" written on it.

In the curious and strange eyes, Gojo arrived at the academy and slept immediately after sitting on his seat.

"Tch...… this lazy guy…."

Neji seeing Gojo sleeping felt annoyed as he wondered why this sloppy guy was equal to him

He trains so hard at home, and this guy sleeps all day, yet they are both ranked the same.

But one day, it will be proved that no matter how talented Gojo is, there is a limit that he will never be able to surpass.

Thinking of this, Neji didn't care about Gojo anymore and attentively listened to Iruka.

The days of the academy were both peaceful and boring for Gojo as time kept passing, but the training of Gojo never stopped, and in a blink of an eye, three years have passed since Gojo arrived in this world.

-------------------------

Ninja Academy.

Class4-C,

"Clone Jutsu"

A figure who looked around 12 years old with white hair spiked up and a black blindfold covering his eyes made a hand sign as beside him, smoke burst.

He was pretty tall for his age, around 1;7m, and wore an all-high black-necked jacket with matching pants and black boots.

"Gojo Satoru. Pass"

A figure entirely identical for Gojo appeared beside him as Iruka standing before nodded in satisfaction as he announced the result.

"As of now, you are a Ninja of Leaf Village; I hope you always protect it with your life, Satoru."

Iruka handed Satoru the forehead protector of Konoha as he looked at the kid who was nearly as tall as him with some emotion in his eyes.

This kid has troubled him too much all these years, but he knows they were all just children pranks, and he was really proud of grooming someone like Gojo.

"Haha~, what's with this severe face, Iruka Sensei? Worry not, I will soon be back here again but as a teacher next time."

Gojo laughed as he looked at Iruka, who hearing his words, was surprised slightly.

"You really want to become a teacher!"

Iruka asked with some astonishment on his face as he always thought Gojo was messing around when he had announced about becoming a teacher on his first day.

"Maybe~ I can even become the principal, then I would be able to do whatever I want."

"You arrogant…"

Veins appeared on the forehead of Iruka from anger; so many years have passed, and this kid's annoying personality is still the same.

"Haha~ don't be angry."

Gojo laughed as he quickly slipped away since he knew any more teasing would only make Iruka angrier.

"Next, Hyuga Neji"

Seeing Gojo running away, Iruka calmed himself as he announced the name of the next contestant as Neji, with an indifferent expression on his face, arrived beside Iruka.

With no difficulty, Neji efficiently performed the clone Jutsu and passed as Iruka handed him the Headband.

The graduation exam continued, and everyone in the class was surprised when they saw Iruka passing Lee just based on Taijutsu.

"I… finally became a Ninja."

Lee holding the forehead protector, sat beside Gojo as tears ran down from his eyes.

"Hey! Shouldn't you be happy?"

Gojo was having a hard time controlling his laughter since Lee looked really funny while crying.

"You don't understand it… Satoru Kun… these are tears of youth. Ah, I'm so happy."

Everyone clearly heard the words of Lee, and they had black lines on their forehead.

It was the first time they had heard something like "Tears of Youth."

"Two Idiots!!!, I hope both of them are not part of the squad I will be assigned to"

Neji didn't want to be together with any of these two, so he could only pray for the best.
