IGNORE THE TRASH CAN: JUMP TO VOLUME 2 FIRST CHAPTER

[IGNORE THIS CHAPTER, JUMP TO VOLUME 2 FIRST CHAPTER!]

"How old were you again?" Inside the ninja academy, many groups of girls were piling up on Okabe as he shyly backed away completely flustered.

"You're so handsome, Okabe! Would you go out with me?"

"Okabe, ignore this ugly witch! Let's go have a date!"

Okabe couldn't help but gasp as he tried to understand what the hell was going on here! After so many years living on the Land Of Iron, he had already gotten used to girls being cold, prideful, and behaving like princesses.

But this!? What the hell was going on here!? Was he really that handsome, because he honestly felt like he was just above average, at least based on his previous life standards...

"Tsk, why is this guy so popular?" A bunch of boys in the class frowned and started complaining as they unleashed their anger on the pages of their books.

"Humph! Who cares if he is popular, the girl I like would never fall for him!" A boy with short spiked black hair wearing blue and orange clothes spoke with a confident smile on his face.

"Hmm, is that so? Who's this girl, Obito?" The girl sitting beside him asked innocently with a smile on her face.

"Eh!? Rin?" Obito panicked as he blushed and tried to cover what he said. "She's someone I met some years ago, hehehe..."

"Hm... I hope you tell me who she is in the future! No need to be shy among friends, right?"

"Hahaha! Cough... eh, by the way, who's the new guy?"

Before Rin could answer, a boy wearing green spandex with large eyebrows suddenly rushed through the door, he had a bright smile on his face and seemed to shine with the flames of youth.

"Okabe Jinshiro! I challenge you to a battle!"

"Huh!?" Every single person in the class exclaimed at that moment, just what the hell was Guy trying to do!?

And to their surprise, the boy jumped over the crowd of girls and landed right in front of him, the desperate look on his face made it even weirder when he said. "YES! LET'S FIGHT! TAKE ME OUT OF HERE!"

"YOSHI! THIS IS WHAT I CALL YOUTHFULNESS! To the practice grounds!" Guy pointed towards the door and rushed out as Okabe ran after him.

Obito and Rin gulped seeing the situation, they couldn't believe someone would ever accept Guy's crazy requests besides Kakashi.

"Hum? Are they really going to fight?" Aoba adjusted his sunglasses as he watched the girls running after them as if they had stolen their money.

"Eh? I don't know..." Genma yawned. "But I'm sure as hell I'm not feeling like having classes today, so I think I'll watch and have some fun."

"Humph! This is why our class has such low grades, tsk, I might as well follow everyone to stop you from doing something stupid." Ibiki stood up and followed them.

"Wait for me, Ibiki!" Hayate followed as well.

Having no other choice, Rin and Obito followed them as well. Only Anko remained inside the class, but one could not blame her as she had been sleeping the entire time and wasn't even aware of the fact that there was a new guy.

It was just after the door was closed shut that she suddenly woke up due to the loud sound.

"Uh!? Where's everyone!? Oh my! Don't tell me I have slept till the class ended! Please, wait for me!" Anko stood up and ran after Obito and Rin.

It was a lively little world, mostly shielded by the cruelty of what lied outside, most of these children had never experienced the darkness that this world had to offer, although of course, there are always exceptions, thought Okabe, as he ran and looked back at the scene of the students following him and the boy in green spandex.

Be it Obito, Ibiki, Kakashi, or Okabe, all of them had experienced darkness at least once, the difference was how they had grown to deal with it.

For Okabe though, Darkness was something he had experienced both in his previous and current life, having been born in the US, he saw the death of his parents at the hands of rioters protected by the media and the dictators who had completely gotten rid of the 'opposition', the funny thing about fate is that sometimes you can't escape it...

And so it was, like his grandfather who died in the hands of criminals after taking him to Japan where he lived until his fifteen, so did his parents and grandfather died in the hands of criminals in his new life.

But even if he wanted he couldn't just feel down as he did initially, as sad as it was, he had grown to accept death much easier since he experienced it much more than most ever did.

This was why he accepted his proposal.

|/- -\| A week ago:

"You must be Okabe Jinshiro." The man sitting on the chair behind the table spoke. His hat hanged on the side of the chair, held by a thin line bind to it.

This man wasn't a nobody, no, on the contrary, even if he had spent years without watching naruto, he knew very well who this middle-aged man was, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Okabe gulped, he couldn't lie, he was shaking due to many reasons, excitement, fear, respect... you could choose any of those reasons, and all of them would perfectly fit, but even then, he was actually interested in the guy on his right, the one with blonde hair who claimed to be an old friend of his grandpa, and who looked very similar to the guy who fights the Nine Tailed Beast during Naruto's anime introduction.

"Yes sir..."

"Humm." Hiruzen leaned his back on the chair and took a sip of his tea. "Tell me, child of the Jinshiro, do you wish to become part of the will of fire? I won't lie to you as you are a friend of Minato, clans such as yours are extremely sought after in every hidden village, but the fact that you come from the Land Of Iron, makes this matter quite sensitive, I know how samurai are prideful about their ways and usually chooses not to interact with the shinobi. But if you agree to become part of Konoha, part of the dream of the First, I can promise you a few things, the first is resources and a house, as part of our family, we would never let you fend for yourself, it's not our way. But we would like to request a few things from you if become a part of Konoha."

Okabe couldn't help but look at him from the corner of his eyes, as much as he liked the old man, he wasn't as naive as he thought, after witnessing what his grandpa was capable of, he was quite sure Minato knew of what his clan was capable of as well, and that he told the Third about it, this could explain why he mentioned his clan, and as such, he must be interested in his clan Kekkei Genkai, but... if he isn't going to kill him for it, as those bastards called Shinigami were trying to do with his grandpa, how exactly does he wish to make use of him?

As he thought of those matters, realization struck him as he suddenly thought of babies... that's right, a clan can not be a clan without members to it, isn't that right? Holy shit...

"Cough... sorry, I... I lost myself for a moment... Well, what exactly will you request if I agree?"

"Aham... you... are you aware of the matters between men and women?" Hiruzen lowered his head and covered his face with his hands entwined, it was clear that he wasn't comfortable talking about such things with a child, but considering his actual age in this life, it wasn't really surprising that he would ask about something like that when... well... babies are the end goal...

"Cough... I... Cough... I mean... Yes." Okabe frowned. He couldn't help but curse this old man, why is he making this conversation weirder than necessary!?

Minato on the side couldn't help but facepalm himself, if only he knew the old man would act like that, he would have talked about the matter with Okabe himself.

"Well, as a clan on the edge of extinction, you would fit into the law of bloodline preservation, meaning you'd be allowed to have as many wives as you wish, and in fact, we will request that you take at least five women as your brides so that the recreation of your clan can happen faster..."

"Eh?" Okabe blinked his eyes as he looked at Hiruzen, the muscles on his face twitching as he tried to maintain a straight face. "EEEHHHHHHH!?"

|/- -\| Present time:

Now that he thought about it, could this be the reason why those girls are so interested in him, could their parents have been told about his situation, and so they influenced their daughters to conquer him or something similar?

He couldn't help but shake as he realized the situation! Damn it! Those bastards are trying to use him as a tool to get easy money and power!
