22 Elective Classes

It was nearing the 2-year requirement for application for early graduation. During this time that Hinata and the game spent in the Academy, they quickly learned everything that the Academy could offer. All that was left was for all of them to continue honing their skills until they achieve the qualifications for graduation.

Because of this, Minato had once again personally come to the Elite's classroom to make an announcement. Apparently, it was very important since it could affect their career paths as Shinobi.

"Hello there again brats... Or should I say Elites. It seems that after only a bit more than a year and we meet again. I must say, even among other Elites, you have by far the quickest advancements rate. Anyways, enough of that. I'm here today to tell you about the next stage of your Academy life."

"Usually, in the last year of your curriculum, there would be what we call elective classes, classes which you can choose to enter according to your intended career path. Through this, we would allow students to choose which area should they specialize in whether it be Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Iryojutsu, Kenjutsu, or many others. In addition to that, they are also given the freedom to choose which areas should they choose as a supporting profession. An example would be a Genjutsu major with a sub profession as a medic because both areas require precise chakra control."

"You as Elites have the privilege to start early and enter your elective classes especially since you have already completed all your other requirements. I also know for sure that all of you would be trying out for early graduation in a few months. So you all better learn well in each of your classes since you won't be allowed to apply for graduation without a certificate for at least one class that would determine your main profession."

Hinata fell into deep thought as she heard of that. It was another new thing brought about by AU so Hinata had to decide very carefully because she didn't have the assistance of future knowledge.

For her major, Hinata had already decided to go for Taijutsu. Most of her training consisted of physical training and she also enjoyed hot-blooded fights with fists. The only thing she was only considering now was her sub-profession. She could certainly be an archer but she quickly scratched that idea off because she was completely fine with learning by herself. She wanted something which she wouldn't be able to learn by herself.

That then means that she also has to scratch Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Iryojutsu. This three things mostly require one to have a specific level of chakra control or else they'll fail and which one in the world could rival Hinata in terms of chakra control? None. She could basically homeschool herself with these subjects and she could still easily beat those who train extensively for years. Kenjutsu was out because she already has a bow for a weapon.

That then leaves Hinata with one thing. Fuinjutsu.

As soon as she thought of it, she immediately thought it was a good idea. It was probably the only subject that would give her some difficulties. Infinite chakra and perfect chakra control wouldn't help her draw some seals. Moreover, Fuinjutsu was very op. In both the anime and fanfictions, Fuinjutsu was always broken. The Tailed Beasts which are powerful enough to destroy a hidden village were sealed up because of it. In one fanfiction, someone created a whole space which was no different from a real fucking world.

"Now for convenience's sake, I'll all let you think about what your elective class would be, and then you can tell me while I'm here. I'll just register you and save you the trouble. I'll remind you again, you at least have to choose one class which determines your major before you will choose any side professions you want."

Without even thinking much, everybody already submitted which major they would be pursuing.

Hinata, Choji, Naruto, Kiba, and Lee went for Taijutsu.

Sasuke and Ino went for Ninjutsu.

Shikamaru went for his clan's Shadow Techniques and Shino went for his clan's Bug Techniques.

People might wonder why should Shikamaru and Shino still need to go to the Academy when they could already learn those techniques in their own clans. It was because these allow them to learn from different perspectives on different applications to their techniques. They won't really teach those techniques in school, just help them use them better.

After seeing that everyone easily determined their majors, Minato then asked, "Well, any supporting professions at all?"

Without hesitation, Hinata expressed her desire to learn Fuinjutsu. Meanwhile, the others also soon picked their own.

There wasn't actually anything for Choji and Shikamaru since they focused mostly on their clan techniques so they went with Hinata for Fuinjutsu classes. Well, it was more like Choji going and dragging Shikamaru with him.

As for Sasuke, he went for Taijutsu and Shurikenjutsu and then Ino quickly followed after him. Shino also went to Taijutsu classes to help him reduce his weaknesses.

Kiba wasn't interested in anything while Lee wasn't interested in anything but Taijutsu.
