The Academy

The voice really startled Neji that his Byakugan was subconsciously deactivated and everything returned to normal.

In front of him was a young girl with black hair and dark brown eyes. Her hair was made in two Chinese-style buns on her head with short fringe-bangs framing her face. She was wearing a pink sleeveless qipao-style blouse with red sleeve trimmings and yellow fastening buttons and dark green pants. A pouch is adjusted to her thigh and her forehead protector and sandals are both blue.

"Oh. Oh.. Tenten?" Neji replied dazedly. As a Naruto fan, he would of course be dazed seeing one of the Naruto main characters. Dazed that he did not notice where he was touching.

"What do you mean 'Oh. Tenten'? Want me to beat you up? And remove your hand!" Tenten was full of rage. Even though they were just four, touching a girl in the chest is still very rude to them.

"Oh. Oh.. I'm sorry!" Neji hurriedly apologized as he put down his hand while thinking 'Good thing there are no other people here… What am I a Paedophile?!' As a 17 year old in his previous life, he was never attracted to little loli's. Not to mention that the kids here mature in body and mentality earlier than the world in his previous life.

It was really a good thing that it was not Sakura, or else he would have been beaten to a pulp.

"Hmph!" Tenten only snorted as she asked, "What were you doing anyway? I noticed that your eyes looked strange earlier… Weird, did I see wrong?" She even squinted her eyes and stepped closer to look directly at Neji's eyes.

"Your face is too close!" Neji said instinctively as he again stretched out his hands in order to push her a little only to realize a little too late that he was touching her chest again. He knew that he was screwed right away when she released cute little sound, probably because she was a little tickled.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry.. I did not mean to touch it!" He hurriedly apologized only to see her face flushed even reaching her neck and her eyes were threatening to tear up, it looked really cute and tempting to pinch.

"Neji no baka!" She was really embarrassed so she attempted to lessen the embarrassment by hitting Neji in the chest. It looked really adorable if you look at it with a strangers perspective.

As for Neji, he was again dazed and shocked, the "no baka scene" that always happened to the MC in almost every romance anime is actually happening to him. He did not even feel the light punches that was being delivered to his chest.

"OKay.. okay.. calm down Tenten. I'm sorry, I did not do it on purpose… Oi, stop hitting." Neji did not know what to do. As an only child in the family, he did not know how to comfort a crying little girl. He could only wait for her to stop, what choice does he have.

"Wahh.. Boohoo.. I'm going to tell the sensei that you bullied me!" Just as he thought that Tenten was going to stop, tears came rolling down her cheeks. She even sat and covered her face with her hand as she cried. It really looked like she was bullied. The only good thing was that there was not any person around or else…

NAnI tHe F*Ck?! I did not bully her, I only touched her! "Okay, okay… don't cry, don't cry. If you stop crying, I'll buy you a candy… Lots of candies…" the only thing he could do was bribe her. 'Cause unlike Naruto, he's got the money.

Only now did she finally raise her head and look at Neji with her teary eyes and asked with a pitiful voice, "Really?"

"Of course. I wouldn't lie to you. Now stand up… wipe your tears… Good girl." he said that, but inside he was thinking, 'Wtf? Why do I feel like a perverted old man luring a little girl?' But if those lolicons see him experience this, they would probably die of envy.

"Then let's go! Go!" He take back what he said about the people here being mature so early. Kids will be kids, nothing will change.

"Okay... Hohh." Neji gave a sigh of relief.

They walked for a few more minutes and reached the bustling village. He took her to a small shop and bought some candies and the girl was immediately happy. That's right, kids will be kids.

They eventually reached the academy in some more minutes.

Seeing the building, Neji was not impressed at all. Although it was quite big, it still looked crude because of the shape, it was nothing compared to the tall buildings in his past life. They entered the class and they found their own seats, he went to the last seat at the back row. Inside the classroom was really like what was shown in the anime. The teacher has not arrive yet, so he could only contemplate about what happened.

His father's death was not made public yet, only the higher ups know what really happened. And if it wasn't for Ronie knowing what really happened, he would have probably declared his revenge towards the Clan, following the I will fulfill and have your revenge, something like that.

He knew that the raw talent of Neji was wasted on a fool like him, but he had the system. He also had his 17 years of past life experience, the only thing the academy could teach him was the basics of everything that a shinobi should possess.

He was not thinking of something like graduating at the age of five. That was just something idiots would do. 'Cause in order to do things unnoticed, you have to be low key. Even if he does follow Kakashi's path, he would be bound by orders, and might even get controlled by Danzo.

Even more, the Uchiha clan incident won't happen for some years, he would still have the chance to change history.

His posture even changed into the usual pose of Sasuke when he was at a classroom, looking cool and all that as he planned for the future.

'I really look forward to meeting Itachi, Obito, and Madara, these three Uchiha's were the most badass and coolest Uchihas. The sannin, Kakashi and the Akatsuki would also be good. But to do that, I would need to get stronger. F*ck Naruto and his Talk no jutsu, f*ck Sasuke a his revenge, all of those can go to the trash can! In front of me you are just kids throwing tantrum and talking nonsense!' Just as he was lost in his delusions, a familiar voice interrupted him.

'Wow, it's Iruka, the legend!' Neji said in his head. He always admired teachers and in his heart, Iruka was one example of a good teacher.

"Good morning, Class!" he greeted as placed the books on the table.

"Good morning, Iruka-sensei!" everyone in the class greeted back.

"For the last month, I taught you how to read and write and read every single character right? Well, today, I am going to teach you on how to read and add every characters so you can learn how to form a sentence." Iruka said with a smile and started teaching them thoroughly.

As for Neji, he already mastered this. He relied on the memory of original Neji and memorized every character. Creating a sentence was as easy as blinking, well, he would be a laughing stock if he did not learn it easily.

Noticing that Neji was not paying attention, Iruka-sensei called him out.

"Is there something wrong, Neji? You are not attentive today, can you tell me why?" asked Iruka with concern as he knew that Neji would always do his best in class and listen attentively. He could be considered a favorite student as he never really created a problem for the teachers. He was also very smart, in other words, he was a genius.

"I'm sorry, Sensei, I was just thinking about something. And don't worry, my father have already taught me on creating a sentence. I can prove it to you if you don't believe me." Neji acted like Conan when he was not being a detective, but not as childish as Conan.

"Wow!" was what came from his classmates. And Neji also knew now why there was no prominent character from this class in the anime. It was because they all looked dumb and had ordinary potential, and only few were doing well. As for the others that was doing well, some had a cold air around them. They probably became Anbu's and some unknown chunins and some unknown jounins. The expression that Iruka sometimes make was also another proof. And the class only had a little over 20 students, whereas Naruto's class had over 30 students.

"Really, how about you show the class." Iruka only half believed what Neji said. If Neji realy learned it, then he would make him as an example, if he fails, he will teach him a lesson.

"Yes, teacher." with that, Neji stood up and went to the board took the chalk and started to write words after words. As he wrote, Iruka was surprised, it was because the hand writing was good, not like the other kids that had messy hand writings. There was also no sign of hesitation when he wrote every word.

After he finished writing, Neji even read it out loud. "I wrote, 'My name is Hyuga Neji and I am 4 years old'."

"Wow! Neji- kun is amazing!" exclaimed the whole class. But Iruka was still doubtful, so he asked Neji to write the sentence, "Neji is a good student."

And so Neji did. This time, Iruka was finally convinced.

"Very good Neji! See that, Neji is good. I am sure he worked hard to learn adding words and creating a sentence. See? If you work hard enough, you can also become like him. Here, take this." Iruka was really different, he did not overly compare him to those slow classmates of his. He even gave him a candy.

"How about this, if someone from you also forms a sentence today or the following days this week, I will give you a candy." he suddenly had this idea and tried if it would work.

"Really, Sensei?!" they simultaneously asked.

"Of course!"

"Okay! From now on, I will study hard!" "Me too!" "I am gonna get those candies! My parents rarely buys my one!" Sure enough, it worked.

'Heh.. Kids will be kids!' Neji again thought of these words.

With a class that were determined to finally learn, the time seemed to go faster as thefirst class was done. The next subject was now taijutsu class!
