Life moves forward

Night rolled around and I said goodbye to Ino and Sakura. Heading to the backyard I sit down again and try to feel out what my eyes can do. When I open them again I see 6 orbs floating behind me. I'm able to control them with ease. Almost as if they are part of my body. I feel I can get more if I'm able to control my chakra better. I start practicing my martial arts afterwards. When midnight hits if forced off to bed by Iruka.

That morning, a few of the Hyuga clan show up to look at my eyes again. They try to take me from here stating there are some similarities and the don't want any possibility of it leaking to outsiders. Not long afterwards an old man with bandages covering one of his eyes and the homage arrive. The bandages man is named Donzo. My house became an annoying debate hall. Apparently they found out the damage of my eyes from the training pole.

The Donzo person want me to join his group of the root, the Hyuga want me to get marked and join the clan, and the Hokage want me to continue along with the academy. I show my self out the back door when their distracted.

I end up meeting the trio of Ino, choji, and shikamaru. I end up walking around town with them.

———-

This becomes a semi-normal experience as every morning Donzo or the Hyuga show up with the Hokage following soon after. Going through the classes with chakra available now made them easier. I'm one of the top of my class. Matched by a child named Sasuke.

After class the group of Ino, Sakura, choji, and shikamaru ask if I Wanta join them.

"Sure." Iruka told me to hang out with children my age as it will help me in the future.

"Class before everyone leaves." It quiets down as we all look at Iruka. "We will be assigning you to your squads tomorrow, so come to class a bit earlier and be prepared." Iruka looks at everyone seriously.

"Squads huh." I look pondering at my classmates. "At least be a group I don't have to babysit them." I think. I get up and leave with the four as Sakura looks at Sasuke while leaving.

In the Hokage's office a group of people where picking who would go in which squad.

"Team 7 will be Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Any objections?" Quite a few people where unhappy about Naruto being in the squad. "Enough! Kakashi, will you be ok to lead this team?"

"I'm fine with it." A man with gray hair and a mask the covered most of his face stood forward.

"And we have an odd few out Jun Umino, Sagure Ichi, Umi San, and Raiji Hyuga. What's your guys recommendations." The Hokage looked at everyone in the hall. Iruka stepped forth at this moment.

"Sir, you should know how unique Jun is. I was hoping you could place him under someone you trust a lot, and that can also help him into a good future." Iruka looked at him with a begging expression. Some of the other ninja in the room looked at him with joy at his misfortune.

"I see. Your right with that much. I have a group I can add him into."

In a BBQ restaurant not far from the academy.

"CHOJI!!" Ino yelled at Choji who was shoving food down his throat. Shikamaru and I were sitting in the corner of the table watching her berate him. I had a bunch of fried fruits on my plate. Since my bloodline awoke I've started to prefer fruits and vegetables instead of meats. It doesn't mean I don't eat them though. Eating a slice of fried pineapple and melon I watched them. Truthfully the antic this group gets up to amused me. Choji will eat everything, Ino will then berate Choji, and Shikamaru will pout about how bothersome all of this is. Not long afterward I see Naruto wandering the street being look down and hated by everyone.

"What's happened with him?" I ask Shikamaru.

"I don't know the specifics but people say that he's got that monster fox in him." He looks over at Naruto as well. "He doesn't seem like a bad person though. What a drag." Shikamaru sighs. We continue eating dinner and hang out until it starts turning dark. While walking home I see him sitting on a swing.

"Hey." I walk over. I remember seeing that fox almost 12 years ago, but I don't believe just because I person connected to it that he's bad.

"What do you want?" Naruto looks at me.

"Want me to feed you?" I asked.

"I'm not a charity case!" He looks angry until his stomach gurgles. "Ehh... fine." As we're walking and talking he tells me that he's close to Iruka. "I went to this place with Iruka sensei a while ago. It's great trust me."

"Hey Naruto you back again today too. Oh you brought a girl with you this time." The person who said this was a middle aged man as what I assume is his daughter look over his shoulder in a hurry. It is unfortunate to say but I haven't hit my growth spurt and I haven't started to change from my hard to tell spot yet. It will happen eventually so I don't worry.

"I'm a boy sir. Give me a fruit juice please." I corrected.

"Do you want bitter, sweet, or sour?"

"Sweet!" I look at him seriously. Curse the fact that children love sweets.

———

I've never seen some eat so much. I feel sick for him. I ordered just a juice for myself. Thankfully so as well. I lost all the money I've saved. At least this brats happy. As we're leaving the daughter waves us off.

"Come back soon." She yells back. Says you I don't have anything I can even attempt to get. I sigh. About 6 minutes of walking later Naruto breaks off and goes home.

When I get home Iruka seems very happy. Wonder what happened.
