chapter 2: childhood of the creed

time skip 2years

--------------------------Yami pov------------------------------

4 years have already passed since me coming to this world, and what wonderful world it is, I remember the first time my mom took me outside when she went shopping. The first time I saw the bustling street of the village, the market, the smiles on the people faces, the children that were playing in the park, all these scenes gave me a deep impression of the village, in time I understood why my father died protecting this village,

the first 2 years of my life were boring, what could I say, what would you expect of a baby laying all day in his crib, except practicing my eagle eyes, I just kept recalling all my knowledge from my old world that ranged from fighting to my espionage skills, it an old habit of me to keep my mind sharp, by the time I reached the age of 3, I had a bit of time to do some stretching and acrobat training; I didn't do heavy training so not to hinder the natural development of my body, at the age of 4 I finally had some privacy after my mother returned to her old job, she was a medic-nin in hospital of Konoha so that left me alone in the house to do some light training; I started working on my body 10 Push-ups,10 Sit-ups,10 Squats, and 1 Km run every morning, at evening I practiced my old skills, I wanted to integrate them to my muscle memory, make them like my instinct, and so two years passed by, and today marked the day I start at the shinobi academy,

I woke up early in the morning, started my routine workout, had a shower, then I heard my mother calling" Yami, the breakfast is ready"

"I am coming mom" I replied while looking to myself in the mirror, black long hair in ponytail shape, round face, black eyes, sword-like eyebrows, that what I call a handsome face, with a smile on my face I came down to the dining room to have my breakfast while saying" good morning mom"

"good morning Yami, are you ready for your first day in the academy?"

"yes mom, I was born ready" I replied while gorging the food on the table, after finishing all the food before me, I ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth when I finished I found my mother waiting for me on the doorstep,

"let go mom" I took my mother hand while and we rushed to the academy,

The Academy is a huge building in Konohagakure located directly at the base of the Hokage Mountain. It is where prospective ninja is trained and where official ninja receives their assignments. It was founded by the Second Hokage out of military necessity.

The Academy is quite large and is composed of several buildings which were erected over time. The building can be identified by the tree in front of it which has a swing on it and more so, by the giant sign with the kanji for "fire" on it... Along with being a school, it is also the area where the Hokage's office is located, which is where missions are dispatched and the day-to-day running of the village takes place. The Hokage's office is a large, somewhat oval room usually filled with stacks of unfinished paperwork. Behind the Hokage's desk is a large window through which the Hokage can survey the entire village. On the desk, itself is a stylized kanji for shadow followed by the symbol of the village. Before being moved, the Mission Assignment Desk where missions are usually dispensed to shinobi was located on the premises.

at the entrance of the academy, there was a large crowd of people gathered to listen to third Hokage speech,

The Hokage is the Kage of Konohagakure, a title bestowed on the village's leader. The Hokage is generally regarded as the strongest shinobi in the village. There have been four Hokage in the village's history.

after some time of waiting with crowed, I noticed an old man wearing the Kage official uniform — the customary hat and haori with a red, full-length kimono that is tied using a white sash, ascending the compound in front, He had a below-average stature, his skin is lighter, his hair is grey, his face is gaunter, and he has the wrinkles and liver spots of old age, and a small goatee, after that he turned toward the gathered people took a deep look then said:

"I wonder... do you have it, young as you are...the will of fire?"

Then started talking about the village and the will of fire. His speech wasn't long but it was captivating especially the last sentence it was too deep even for me to understand, "When the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again, tree leaves shall bud anew". he earned my respect with his words alone,

after the Hokage speech, I said my goodbyes to my mother, then gone to find classroom number 1.

Classrooms in the Academy are large and have high ceilings, based on a theory that larger classrooms lead to expansive education, expanding even to the blackboard itself. In front of the blackboard is a podium, situated far from the students' desks, and put in a position where the teacher can view everyone,

I took a seat in the far back of the class, well with my eagle eyes, I can see anything in the range of 10 meters clearly, so it didn't bother me if the seat is far from the blackboard, then a teacher called Iruka who had a scare on his face entered the class and started the first lesson" history"

As with any school, students are taught a core curriculum of reading, writing, mathematics, science, geography, etc. Taijutsu classes, Ninjutsu classes, Genjutsu classes
