[Academy graduation day.]

With my under back sat in the wooden bench of the academy classroom for the last time in the foreseeable near future. There is a mixed sense of relief and uncertainty wrestling in the back of my mind, Which I ignored in favor of molding this pearl sized marble of compressed air between my fingers. The written test was easy enough for me to past and thanks to my daily training that had been recently amped up due to the mara-struck that I am now under. The result is a top score of the class.

No longer will I be listening to that buffoon's agonizing Leaf preachings. Looking around the wood made classroom which I unwillingly had memorized every detail in attempt to block out the ass grinding ramblings of that insufferable instructor. Knowing that today is the last day I will be sitting here, is something I'm looking forward to. I hope that whatever Jonin sensei I'll be under wouldn't give a damn about what I do like Kakashi would. It would be the ideal scenario.

Come to think about it, it would probably be some background character no one heard about. As for teammates, Hokuto is some one I would prefer to have as a teammate, just like in my previous life, I had only a few associates while in my school days.

While the instructor is writing something on the board, I flicked my air pebble at the paper box of chalk dust I prepared right at the upper corner of the chalkboard. Aiming from the side, around the classroom benches, I hit my target.

The movement was executed flawlessly without anyone noticing, until the dammed leaf preacher is now a shade white. I'm usually not someone that lowers myself to do pranks, but as someone that aspires to be strong, pranking the teacher is a ritual that paves the road to my success in gaining strength. If Naruto is the example which the show is named after.

'Ding'

[Hidden quest accomplished: Prank the teacher without being caught.]

[Reward: One Trace upgrade.]

Whelp, it seems there's some truth to it. Upgrading my Traces also allows me to gain a few percentages of my template. This puts me somewhat in a better mood. Especially seeing that moron trying to get the chalk out of his chūnin vest, while the brats around the classroom laughed.

"What happened?" A white haired man that looked similar to the white fang of konoha opened the door and ask the now pale looking instructor.

For a moment I felt like I'm experiencing a weird sensation of Dejavu washing over me. 'That guy looks like that Sakumo Hatake that is on Danzo the grafted's chopping board.' I thought to myself. It took another few seconds for me to fully register who I'm looking at is actually the real gullible idiot Sakumo hatake himself. Who should be playing hangman with himself after he failed ONE fucking mission and every one suddenly hates him. That's every bit suspicious doesn't matter how I look at it.

Despite him being here, I hope he is only here to see his son, Kakashi who just enrolled into the program of future cutthroats along with maito guy the only person I don't have anything against. Dude worked his ass into the depths of oblivion and was able to throw hands with madara on steroids with his taijutsu prowess he trained all his life.

Truly a potential peak human in the making. Hate how the show down played his strength. If Guy managed to last a minute or so longer in the eighth gate state, madara would be dead and the show over.

"- Jin Kurama, Hokuto Hyuga and Kobeni Uchiha. You will be team 5 under Sakumo hatake." The instructor announced, pulling me out of my inner thoughts.

'THAT FUCKING MONKEY.'

I cursed inwardly. That Weed smoking monkey Hiruzen, shit flinging Sarutobi actually made this soon to be hanged Sakumo to be a Jonin sensei. And worse, I will be put on a first row seat when the shit show happens. If I can get away with it, I'm pushing that old monkey down a long set of stairs. Not that would do him any harm, but it's the sentiment that counts.

[New event quest available]

I pretend I didn't notice any window that popped up infront of my face. With a mental command, I clicked on the icon to see the details.

[Event quest: multi choice quest.

1) Let Sakumo hatake die via "hanging around."

Reward: 2 trace upgrades + 1 Eidolons.

2) Save Sakumo from committing suicide.

Reward: During the duration of Sakumo's lifespan after prevented from suicide. Host's main template completion will be 5% more efficient. + 10 Gatcha pulls.]

They say that god gave humans free will, but the Sovereign of sin doesn't. At first glance it seems if I had a choice, but that is bullshit. Thinking about the "choices" I have logically, it is clear that I have to go for the latter. having my lifespan reduced to no less than three years by the mara-struck before I end up on the grafting table of Danzo the orphan mind-breaker.

There for, the second option is the only choice there is. If I do the math. Sakumo will probably attend suicide in this year since Kakashi is already in the academy, meaning he would probably go hangman at the latest at the end of this year. If I prevent him from killing himself, then I will have roughly two years where I can excel my template progress.

5% doesn't seem much on the first glance, but it means in the long run that I am 5% closer to my goal.

[Line break]

Danzo was displeased. Days of careful planning went down the drain because Hiruzen suddenly decided to make Sakumo the white fang of konoha a Jonin sensei on a wimp. Instead of sending him on that mission he prepared to sabotage said Jonin sensei's reputation and discredit him. As for why his former comrade decided to do something like this, he couldn't understand. The students assigned to the white fang were nothing he estimated to be noteworthy in his books. A Hyuga from the branch family, an Uchiha girl that is more timid than a rabbit and an outcast from the Kurama clan that can't use genjutsu who had to work part-time job to feed himself.

Pathetic. It's a miracle that the band of misfits even managed to graduate at all.

At least now the white fang would be busy with those brats and in time people would forget about him. As for now Sakumo is currently out of the picture between his goal of becoming the hokage. He deal with white fang once his Genin manages to graduate.

This Story is basically a part time hobby of mine based on my mood swings.

As for the Jonin teacher, I choose Sakumo since I didn't want to add another oc.

Chapters will be uploaded as soon as they are finished. There is no pay wall or P@trïön. You all get the newest content fresh from the oven.

Also, check out my other stories and leave a review to keep me motivated enough to write.

Or I would probably go back modding skyrim and replace dragons with Thomas the train, while I play as the high elven Dio Brando, slayer of the steam engines, vanquisher of Nazeem and skyrim's greatest waifu collector. And lead my Army of Khajets to take over the world.

Comment today and save skyrim from my tyranny.
