A New Beginning at the Academy

Yuuki arrived at the academy's gate, the same gate he'd seen countless times in the anime, but now it felt much more real and intimidating.

The academy was the first step for any ninja. Here, everyone learned the basics,

chakra control, basic techniques, and weapon combat.

But for him, the academy was more than just a school; it was his path to survival in a world full of dangers.

Yuuki stood for a moment at the entrance, his mind filled with questions and expectations.

He didn't know how much he could change the course of events using his prior knowledge.

He knew it wouldn't be easy and that he would have to rely on his newfound abilities to stay alive.

Most of the boys around him were acting naturally, chatting and laughing, completely unaware of what was to come.

"If only they knew what awaits them, they wouldn't be laughing so easily..." Yuuki thought as he made his way through the crowd.

He entered the academy building, and the gazes of other students turned toward him, some knew him as a minor character in this world, while others saw him as just another new face among them.

Yuuki was aware that he didn't know much about the original "Yuuki," but what was certain was that he needed to act as if he knew everything to avoid raising any suspicion.

In the classroom, he sat in a seat far from the others, trying not to draw attention to himself.

The room was filled with students talking and laughing.

He immediately recognized some familiar faces: Naruto was sitting in the corner, talking excitedly as usual, Sakura was beside him trying to focus, and Sasuke, sitting alone in silence, observed everyone with a cold gaze.

"These are the main characters..." Yuuki thought, his eyes wandering between the characters whose fates he knew well.

"Naruto... the hero who will become Hokage. Sasuke... the shinobi who will betray the village in search of power. Sakura... who will chase after Sasuke for a long time."

But Yuuki also knew that things wouldn't remain the same.

Everything could change, especially now that he was part of this world.

He didn't yet know how he would influence future events, but he was ready to challenge them.

As Yuuki pondered the events to come, the teacher entered the classroom.

He was tall and thin, with sharp eyes and a faint smile.

"Alright, students, today we'll be practicing the Clone Technique," the teacher said as he stood in front of the board.

"As you know, this technique is one of the ninja basics, and we'll start with it because the ability to use clones is a key part of combat."

The Clone Technique? Yuuki smiled internally. He knew that today, Naruto would fail to perform this technique,

just as he did in the anime. But the bigger question was, would Yuuki fail too?

As everyone began practicing, Yuuki focused seriously on learning the technique.

He knew how to do it theoretically, but his new body wasn't familiar to him yet.

The chakra flowing within him felt strange, but he could sense it.

He recalled how the technique required a delicate balance between chakra and mental focus.

He started trying to channel the chakra into his hands, concentrating his mind on executing the technique.

It was harder than he expected, but after a few attempts, he felt some progress.

Over time, faint and incomplete clones began to appear before him.

They were not perfect, but they were a good start.

While Yuuki was training, he noticed Naruto struggling, just as he had expected.

Naruto failed to create a decent clone, which drew laughter from the other students and the teacher's frustration.

But Yuuki wasn't surprised; he had anticipated this very moment.

"This is Naruto..." Yuuki thought, observing the events with calm reflection.

"The ending will be different, but the beginning will be filled with failure."

Finally, it was Yuuki's turn to attempt the technique in front of the teacher.

He took a deep breath, trying to gather all his energy and chakra.

He made the correct hand sign and released his chakra with focus.

The clone that appeared in front of him was much better than he expected.

It wasn't perfect, but it was solid and reasonably clear.

"Well done, Yuuki," the teacher said with an encouraging smile.

"You're showing good progress."

Yuuki felt a sense of satisfaction, but inside, he knew this was only the beginning.

The Clone Technique was simple compared to the challenges he would have to face in the future.

He knew that his strength was still very weak compared to the enemies he would face later, but he had time.

He had the opportunity to train and improve his abilities.

After class ended, Yuuki left the academy with the other students.

The atmosphere was lively, and the sun shone brightly in the sky.

As Yuuki walked through the streets, he saw Naruto sitting alone under a large tree.

It was clear that today's failure had affected him.

Yuuki approached him slowly, not knowing why, but feeling that he should talk to him.

"Naruto, how are you?" he asked in a calm voice.

Naruto lifted his head and looked at Yuuki.

"Oh, Yuuki... Nothing, I just... failed again."

"Everyone makes mistakes at first," Yuuki said as he sat beside him.

"I wasn't very good at it either at the beginning. But what matters is that you keep trying."

Naruto gave a faint smile, then said, "You know, Yuuki... I'm going to be Hokage one day. I don't care how many times I fail, I'll keep going until I reach my goal."

Those words touched something inside Yuuki.

He remembered how Naruto in the anime was always filled with determination and courage.

He possessed that inner strength that eventually made everyone follow him.

"Maybe..." Yuuki thought. "Maybe I can learn something from Naruto too."

"That's the spirit," Yuuki said, patting Naruto on the shoulder.

"Never give up."

Yuuki left him there and walked away, heading home. He knew this moment wouldn't be just a coincidence.

Naruto would become an important part of his life here, even if Yuuki was initially just a minor character.

In the following days, Yuuki continued attending the academy and his daily training.

He tried to improve his techniques and learn more about chakra control.

Gradually, he began to notice improvements in his performance.

But time was limited, and he felt the danger approaching.

He knew that the wars and major problems hadn't started yet, but Yuuki was fully aware that he needed to be prepared for everything.

If he wanted to change the course of this world, he had to become stronger, and he had to be ready to make tough decisions.

As Yuuki prepared for bed that night, his thoughts were filled with questions.

"What will happen next? How will I be able to change my fate?" But he knew one thing for sure: this world was no longer just a story to him,

it was his life now, and he had to live it with all the strength he had.
