Academy.

At eight years old it was finally time for us to start the academy. I was standing with the girls along with a horde of other children listening to the old man give some speech about how great konoha was and how he was looking forward to us becoming fine ninja. He just drones on and on and on.

While he was talking I kept feeling like I was being stared at. Looking around I find the culprits. A group of little girls huddled together including one pink and one blonde haired girl. When I caught sight of them they all went "kyaaa!" And started giggling.

"No don't tell me?" I say aloud.

Seeing where I'm looking Kushina behind me chuckles. "It's your fan club Ryan you've had one for a while don't you know."

I give her a horrified look.

"They meet every week at the park to discuss how amazing you are and swap photos they have taken whenever they see you, look I've got a few aswell." She happily pulls a book from god knows where.

Opening it up she shows me pictures of me eating ice cream, playing on the swings, petting the neighborhood kitties, chowing down on BBQ, reading a book in the shade of a tree, shirtless practicing my stances glistening with sweat in the sun.

"Wait a second that last one was from our yard!" I say looking at her accusingly.

"Everyone who donates pictures to the club gets a free shirt with your face on it." She say showing me her shirt which indeed had a picture of me smiling happily with the wind blowing my hair.

"Where the hell did you get shirts!?!?" I ask.

"Oh the fan club president is some white haired girl who shows up to sell items with your face on it." She passes me a booklet with items like lunchboxes, book bags, posters, wallets, keychains, action figures. All with different prices and in different forms from shirtless and sexy to me quietly reading my books under a tree.

"What the fu...?" Before I can finish my sentence I see death in the crowd surrounded by little girls and mothers selling Ryan memorabilia. She has a shirt that says club president on the back of it.

"Get your Ryan Uzumaki merchandise here!" She shouts holding up a tshirt.

I see Hinata and the other girls waving around cash buying items that look oddly familiar. "Hinata is that my pillow!" I shout towards the bluenette who quickly stuffs it into her backpack with my face on it.

"No." She lies.

"What the hell?!? How did I miss all of this!?!" I shout. Kushina was also in the crowd selling off some of my old calligraphy works and copies of baby photos which Death had bought. When she saw me looking at her she froze for a second before loudly shouting. "Hi hubby! I was just sharing your greatness to the world! Don't worry all funds go towards a museum dedicated to you."

"!?!? You want a spanking don't you traitor!?!" I shout pointing at her.

"Hubby not in front of people." She says bashfully squirming.

"I want a spanking too." I hear Hinata mumble as the other two girls nod I even see Kushina think about it.

I just face palm.

The old man on stage is just looking at me proudly with a thumbs up. "So many women at such a young age."

"You wanna catch these hands old man!?" I wave my fist at him.

"Ryan don't shout at the hokage." Kushina says still selling her wares.

We are quickly sorted into classes amidst the selling of my stuff. Full of despair I make my way to the back of the room and face plant onto the desk.

The seats at my side and in front of my are taken by Satsuki, Karin and Hinata who are all going over their new goods. I get a look of pity from the black haired shikamaru and the chubby Choji. "What a drag." Before he goes to sleep not even giving it another thought.

Out the window I can still hear death selling to the lonely housewives.

Traitor.

"Alright class my name is Iruka and for the next few years I'm going to be your teach." The man with a scar across his nose says at the front of the class.

"Today is mostly tests to see where each of you are so we can find out what needs the most attention I'll be passing out some tests and don't worry if you do bad like I said this is just to see where you all are as a group." He starts passing papers down rows as we take out pencils.

Most of it is basic stuff like what is chakra or who was the hokage or what the names of the clans in the village are.

After that we went out side and did basic shuriken throwing tests and some taijutsu practice.

Most of the kinds from clans did pretty well the civilians however not so much. They didn't have really any practice at all and came in with almost zero skills. My group however was top tier. We aced everything perfectly. About a year ago Hinata and satsuki started using shadow clones for practice they couldn't use as many as me and Karin but they could still use two or three.

I was up to a comfortable 20 that gave me zero pressure and Karin was at about 10. This was of course not using any fox chakra which I hadn't spoken to yet.

During all the testing I noticed Shino and Kiba kept far away from me at all times. It was probably their pets telling them my chakra was dangerous. I noticed everything I got close to shino his jacket would buzz and he would flee.

Animals truly are more perceptive of death like I said before.

And just like that the first day of school was quickly over with us mostly being tested.
