[Blur!]

'It's been four years already...' I look back at the academy with some fondness, 'I still remember entering the academy as a greenhorn with my 2 years of body conditioning, well actually that may have been one of the reasons that helped me during times when most civilians struggled to handle the intense pressure of shinobi training, I thrived on the base that I had created with MY OWN STRENGTH, and with the help of no one else, I conquered this little building made by Tobirama-sama...' (P.S-try imagining in Barney Stinson's voice.)

[No one believes you Tobi...]

'Well it doesn't matter because nobody knows anything about you, so hah! Anyway, I have changed a lot during my time in the academy, I have grown mature, and no matter what mom says I'll tell you it's not true. I have grown a lot in strength, but not as much as I would have imagined I would because of a very simple reason...You can only go into a dungeon one time in your life before it disappears forever...FOREVER...'

[Tobi you have been going on and on about it for years now, Don't you think maybe it's time you accept it...]

'NEVER!! You and your system are evil! Who does that huh! Dangling a delicious cake in front of someone then yanking it away after one bite...There are just 17 dungeons in Konoha and I was able to enter only in 12 due to your stingy requirements. 12 Dungeons in 4 years… do you know how little EXP I earn while being in a safe environment! NOTHING!!'

[You are already a genin so you are now an active shinobi and gain lots of quests.]

'You aren't fooling anyone with your active quests Zoey, I know what greenhorn genin do and I am not looking forward to that...'

I enter the academy with everyone else, my class is now A-1 and without much fanfare, I just sit down on the last seat beside the window like every day. I wait around the classroom one last time before the peace is disturbed and a wave of whispers ensue as an orange blob enter's the class. Even though I tried not to openly scowl, I look beside me at the window and a grimace is planted on my face.

'What is this clown doing here...Didn't he fail yesterday, how come he has a headband...' To tell you the truth my feelings for naruto are complicated, Mom told me years ago with a frightened face to stay as far away from him as possible. I was a kid back then so I just listened to her and didn't question the crazy idea. But during the years I have smacked him so many times that the fear has evaporated but the negative feeling reformed when Hinata started liking him.

[You are hopeless Tobi]

'I know she is the heiress to the Hyuga clan and me being a civilian does not have the rights to look at her like that but, I mean fuck that, Naruto is the saddest piece of existence I have seen in my life, he doesn't have talent, he a fucking dumbass and she just stutters around him like he is some celebrity...Speaking of celebrity, look what the cat dragged in...Uchiha Sasuke.'

I ignored everyone at this point and just put my head down while looking at my stats and skills.

'Inspect'

[Level- 56]

'I mean I am a solid chunin or high chunin in every department but, with little to no fighting experience. Every dungeon that I have entered to date was a dungeon suited for genin and thus always had animals and their mutated version's as boss monsters. Even though spars were a good gauge of one's ability, I never truly let go of my magnet release because being the reason for the death of one of your comrades is never good for your file in Konoha, if you are in Kiri then fucking kill the whole class...'

Hearing a commotion I look up to the scene of Naruto sitting on top of Sasuke's bench and kissing him…

*blink*

*blink*

I look at Hinata who had both a horrified as well as dreamy expression which I never thought was possible to make. Glazed eyes imagining her in probably Sasuke's place and disgusted frown and a scrunched up face at seeing Sasuke and Naruto lip-locked.

'Damn it what is there about this chibi that has you enslaved Hinata-chan...No, you promised yourself, Tobi you would not let anything distract you, It's time to fulfil mother's dream and become the best darn shinobi the village has seen, and even then if Hinata refuses to acknowledge anything then I'll just move on...'

'Stupid Naruto...'

------------2 Days Ago Hokage's Office------------

Hiruzen Sarutobi has been sitting in the same chair every day for years now. He has won two shinobi wars sitting on this seat, Although Konoha still prospered during his reign he always felt like he has lost too many important battles. His successor Minato Namikage laid down his life for the safety of his village and he wasn't able to do anything, his best friend works in the shadows plotting to take control of the Hokage hat, his students abandoned the village, although one works a spy network to help it, he still feels a little hollow in his heart on failing to pass on the teachings of his sensei to the next generation.

Now in front of him stood various Jounin's ready to decide who will get to teach whom. One of the joy's of his life has been seeing young kids becoming shinobi and passing their knowledge on. One such case was in front of him right now.

Kurenai Yuhi, A young jounin who was participating in the process for the first time. She was a genjutsu-specialist and the best one that Konoha had at the moment in the regular force. As she walked out to select her team, unlike the normal Jounin that normally read files before selecting she searched for three files before placing it in front of Hiruzen and stating her three choices out loud…

"Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame and Tobi Shou"
