Ch.59: Luck.

"Kazemi Uzumaki. Please perform the 'Shadow Clone' Jutsu." An instructor told him while holding a clipboard. To the left of the instructor was the teacher that didn't like Kazemi.

"Yes sir.." Kazemi spoke in a formal tone which confused and surprised the instructors to another degree. Kazemi then put two fingers up on each hand and formed them to make a plus sign.

'To create a copy of myself, I need to basically divide my chakra into two tanks: Myself and the clone..'

A puff of smoke went up followed by another Kazemi. "N-Nani?!" Said Iruka outloud, causing the man with the clip board to bleed out his ears. "Y-You actually did it?! What the...?" He was flabbergasted at the sight of two Kazemi's.

'This jutsu isn't that hard. I think this body was just too playful or somwthin to actually take it serious..' The clone disappeared into a cloud of smoke as Kazemi put his hands back down to his side. He was then given a headband with a symbol on it and was told that he could leave.

He did and when he got outside the room and into the hallway, there he saw Sasuke with a gaped mouth. "Hehe. You're buying, right?" Sasuke shook his head and brought back his apathetic look.

"Lucky."

Was all he said before walking away. Kazemi triumphantly laughed while following behind him. They then left the academy and went to a noddle shop.

Kazemi took this chance to eat up to 10 bowls of ramen, something that Sasuke almost threw hands at.

"Man, food sure does taste better when you ain't payin' for it. Thanks bro.." He patted his shoulders then walked away. Sasuke stared at his back while he had his hands in his pockets, realizing that Kazemi had actually changed in the past few days.

'He's likeable now, yet still annoying..' He smirked then walked in the opposite direction of Kazemi. Kazemi walked through the village and soon arrived at the Hokages building.

He then remembered that the guards wouldn't allow him in and had to use a secret passage that the previous owner of his body made.

Kazemi went to the back and through a vent. He traveled through tunnels of vents until he arrived in front of a desk that housed an old, brown-skinned man. "Oh,it's you, Kazemi. What brings you here today?"

The 3rd stopped doing paper work and showed him a smile. "Well, haven't you heard, old man? I'm finally an academy student! See?! See?!" Kazemi pointed at the headband to which the 3rd became impressed.

"Wow, I'm impressed, Kazemi. You actually went and done it, huh?" He reached across the desk and placed his hand on Kazemi's head, causing him to smile. 'This guy gave me food, clothes, a home and much more. I'm thankful for all of that..'

The 3rd then got up and led Kazeni to a back room where they sat and talked about nothing special. That was until Kazemi said, "Old man, is the 4th hokage...my father?" The 3rd furrowed his brows at that.

"Why...do you say that..?" He was informed that Kazemi has been acting weird lately. He's tolerable, read books and even cleaned his apartment. These were normal things that Kazemi would never do.

"We look alike, making it just a hunch, that's all."

"Hunch, eh?"

The fourth sighed and looked up at the ceiling. 'I didn't know he inherited your wits as well. Is this Kazemi...when he actually tries?' He looked at Kazemi then nodded.

"Your father was indeed...the 4th hokage. This is a SS-class secret, Kazemi and me telling you this should tell you.."

"That I shouldn't say anything about it? Yeah, I understand. Wouldn't want dads old friends to come after me, huh?" The hokage nodded with an eye raised and the other lowed.

"Your father was a great man. He sacrificed his life for the village and was a hero. He truly is worthy of being called, 'Hokage'."

"A hero, huh? Hey, old man, I alway say that I want to become hokage. I don't think I want to do that anymore.."

"What?! Why? Why the sudden change?"

"Well, to become hokage, you have to have respect. No one likes me and I don't really like anyone back. I haven't thought too much into it, but I kinda wanna just leave the hidden leaf and explore the world..."

An image of a formal pupil crossed with Kazemi's figure. 'Like Jariya, eh?' He gave out a little laugh. "Kazemi, you've changed. Whether it was for the good or bad, I like this path of yours.." He got up and walked to a wall full of scrolls.

"Kazemi, not only have you surpassed my expectations, you showed me that you really aren't just a brat. From today onward, you are a ninja of the leaf. Show me what you can do, okay?"

He handed him a scroll. "Take this to the receptionist at the library and he'll explain further.." Kazemi unconsciously took the scroll as he was thinking about his words. It made the owner of this body feel very, very happy and lit a spark in him as well.

"Thank you, old man. For everything you've done.." The old man nodded and Kazemi left towards the library. 'He has a strong will and a good heart. From wanting to be the hokage to wanting to be free. Its honestly a nice shift in character for once..'

He looked out a window and into the cloud. 'Minato, your son will do amazing things. I can already tell..'
