Academy-1

I turned 6 this year, and am entering the Academy today. Apparently, they let every kid enter, while we had a basic test to read and write to select which section we will be admitted into. Of course, this excludes clan heirs and special case like Naruto. They will be assigned to the top class no matter what. I got full marks on my entrance exam like many others.

"-When fire falls, shinobi dance-"

Ah right, Hokage has been giving us quite a long and boring speech like the shitty principal from my last life, about Fire of Will or something along the line.

You guys have experienced hell like this too, right? In my case, the Princi was really cold blooded. Even though students fell unconscious due to standing in June's sun for an hour, she would not stop. And the only thing her speech contained was praising herself. She even mocked the students who fell unconscious by telling us that she travelled 10 km on foot and stood for 2 hours in the assembly when she was our age. *#@*#@*

Sigh, I got distracted while blinded by rage. The old croonie hokage was good enough that we didn't had to stand. I was sitting with Ino, Shikamaru and Chouji, as always. I found Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, Kiba and surprisingly Shino. I had seriously forgotten about Shino for all these years. But really Shino, he was wearing glasses and high collared jacket hiding his face even as a child. More importantly, where the heck did he find such jacket?

I looked around everywhere till I got bored. Shika was sleeping on my shoulders, Ino was listening attentively and Chouji was too much engrossed in his own world of chips to bother who was speaking what.

But Hokage was not disheartened in the slightest. He even stopped the teachers from scolding us. He was telling his story as he fought glorious battles and defeated this and that enemies. Well, anime and manga only showed us his battle with paperwork. Pity.

But it was going for too long. I wonder when Hokage's mouth will stop?

"-the young__ sacrifice__protect__ adults-"

End it alreadyyyyyyy!

"-fire- put on shoulders-"

What a draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!

"-teach__protect__enemies-"

Ramen is not THAT godlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

"-kill__ comrades-"

I want Dangooooooooooo!

"-don't____care about friends-"

Shinra Tensei!

"-protect___ bad guys-"

Do you want my clones to use Susanoo?

"-yes-"

The 'yes' sound brought back my attention to Hokage. How can he speak for an hour like that?

"-blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah-"

Now I stopped caring what he spoke and applied the blah blah filter which I use when Ino speaks. How does she talk so much about flowers?

"Hey old man Hokage! Please show us some cool jutsu instead of the boring story! I have turned six and didn't even see a fireball in my life. The adults just won't show us jutsu!"

I yelled voicing my request. I could practically feel mum's glare, but who cares? I wanna see a cool jutsu.

"Yeah!"

"I wanna see too!"

"Pfft! You losers didn't even see a fireball? My nii-san can do the biggest fireball jutsu!"

"What da ya say punk?"

"Silence!"

And the uncontrolled children were scolded by the teachers.

"It's fine, isn't it?"

Hokage chuckled in amusement and blew a small fireball. How controlled. Looks like he practiced intensely just to light his cigarette.

"It was a dud."

I muttered with sadness, dissapointment and many more emotions.

"Who said that!?"

"Leave it sensei. They are just children."

Nice save Hokage.

After another round of his story about glorious victories and road to become the Hokage, he finally left.

"Shika, wake up. The speech just ended."

"*yawn* Finally! What a drag."

"Yeah, what a drag."

So, a new page of my second life, the Academy, is going to start.
