A Journey Through the Universes

Chapter 74: The first day at the Academy. (One)



Chapter 74: The first day at the Academy. (One)

A fresh spring morning.

The birds are singing, the breeze is playing with the foliage.

Gentle rays of the sun, and strove to get into the eyes of everyone on a small square at the academy.

Most likely, you have already guessed that I am now on this very square and waiting for the Hokage’s welcome speech before spending my first day of school.

It’s not that Hiruzen was late, it’s just that I, as well as all the other people in the square, came earlier.

There were all the famous clans: Uchiha, Hyuga, Aburame, Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka… And that’s not even half of it.

Civilians were simply lost in their background, so they tried not to shine once again.

They especially shunned Uchiha and Hyuga, radiating arrogance and vanity.

I probably won’t surprise you, but there are a lot of eyes looking at my carcass.

And not only my appearance is to blame, but also the fact that there were sensors among the crowd.

In general, a lot of attention was paid to my person, especially the above-mentioned Uchiha and Hyuga, who still inspect me with their dojutsu, like an animal in a zoo.

Finally, with a swirl of leaves, a Third Hokage appeared and distracted people from looking at my body.

Without any delay, he began his patriotic speech about new green shoots that will be trees in the future, and of course about the will of fire.

Nothing new, nothing interesting.

Then all the applicants were taken to classes.

Already in place, I chose the last place by the window, as befits different protagonists.

The teacher was not there yet, so the children giggled and chatted, getting to know each other.

Apart from me, of course, I was not interested in them, and the guys, in turn, shunned me, obviously a little afraid.

Either it’s my appearance that’s so intimidating, or they were told something by adults. Rather, it’s all together.

By the way, the class was filled almost only by clan children.

A minute later, the door opened and a young guy of seventeen, eighteen years old entered.

The children stopped chatting and paid attention to the newcomer.

He, in turn, stood near the teacher’s desk and said with a friendly smile.

– And so, from today I will be your sensei. My name is Sarutobi Nobu. You can address me as you like, but it’s better to just “Sensei”, okay? –

Everyone nodded in agreement.

– OK. Now that I’ve introduced myself, it’s your turn to do it. Come out here in order and say your first name, last name and, preferably, dream. –

After a little hesitation, the children began to slowly introduce themselves and name their dream.

They were all different, but very similar to each other. Someone said that he wanted to become the strongest representative of the Hyuga clan. Someone wanted to become the strongest ninja, and someone just wanted to have a big family.

I only listened to all this with half an ear, until an interesting guy came out, whose appearance was already a little guessed from the anime.

Standing in the center, he looked at the whole class, then taking a deep breath, said loudly, clearly.

– My name is Uchiha Fugaku. My dream is to become the head of my clan and lead him to prosperity that he never knew. –

Having said that, he returned to his seat.

No one paid much attention to him, as it was a pretty ordinary dream.

But I know that in the future he will become the head of the Uchiha clan and the father of two geniuses… and also, under his rule, the Uchiha clan will be almost completely destroyed… It’s a little funny considering his dream.

A little later it was my turn.

I got up and started going down to the teacher.

What should I say? Become the strongest ninja? No, too “usual”. World peace? Also no… Hmm… yes… This will definitely do.

Standing next to the teacher, smiling, he began to introduce himself.

– My name is Uzumaki Tetsuya. My dream is to have a harem! I said happily and innocently.

The children, hearing my dream, almost did not react in any way, but the teacher coughed.

Tetsuya, do you know what a harem is? – looking at me strangely, he asked.

– Of course, Sensei. This is when a man has many wives! I exclaimed with a smile.

– I see, why do you want a harem? – he asked confusedly, apparently he is facing this for the first time, which is no wonder.

– What about the teacher!? Isn’t that clear? If I have many wives, then I will have a big family! –

– It’s clear, really, you can’t refuse logic. All right, go sit down. – he said with a crooked smile.

Satisfied with a little trick, he returned to his place. Pissing people off turns out to be so funny… I hope I won’t stoop to coloring Hokage’s faces.

After a minute, the performances finally ended.

– And so guys, now that we’ve all met, we can start the first lessons. Let’s start, perhaps, with geography. – he said and took out a rather large map.

As I thought, even though this is a shinobi academy, they mostly pay attention to ordinary knowledge here, just like in an ordinary school. Boring…

After unfolding the map and securing it, Nobu took the pointer.

– Today I will tell you about the elemental countries. Perhaps, let’s start with the largest countries. – he said, and moved the pointer to the land of fire.

– This is the land of fire, where you guys and I live. Our country is famous for its pleasant, temperate climate, and very fertile lands. We are also unofficially the strongest country, thanks to the ninja of our village. And I hope you know that our village is called Konohagakure, the village of the hidden leaf, and our village is ruled by Hokage. He finished teasingly.

– We know, Teacher. – the children answered at the same time.

Smiling, he moved the pointer to the land of the wind.

– OK. This is the land of the wind. Despite the fact that huge territories belong to this country, they are mostly a harsh desert, so residents are forced to settle only near oases. Despite all this, the population of the country is quite numerous. Also because of the harsh conditions, the country produces little, which makes it one of the poorest. The ninja village in this country is called Sunagagure, “The village hidden by sand”. He rules the village of Kazekage. – he continued to tell.

Few listened to him attentively, since here, in the classroom, there are mostly clan children who are additionally taught at home.

After a while, the lessons finally ended.

They didn’t represent anything interesting, typical school subjects.

But then sparring and training awaited us, which already interested me a little.

We were taken to the backyard of the academy where everything was equipped for training and sparring.

Having brought us to special sparring spots, Nobu spoke sternly, with all seriousness.

– And so, today we will hold a training session and find out who is capable of what. Before we get started, I want to remind you that this is not a real battle, but a training session. Your opponents are your classmates and residents of your native village. If I say “Stop” you end the sparring. If one of you gives up, the sparring ends. If one of you goes outside the designated area, you lose… Is everything clear? –

– Yes sensei! – my classmates shouted unanimously.

Smiling, the teacher took out a tablet with a list of names.

– Those whom I call, come out and take the allocated positions. And let me remind you again, you can give up at any time…Inuzuka Masa vs. Uzumaki Tetsui. –

Oh, how! Looks like I’m honored to be the first…

Slowly getting up, he headed towards the playground, glancing at the opponent.

A small, fragile boy with brown hair was descending at the same time as me.

God, he’s shaking with fear… we need to be gentle with him somehow…
