Naruto's Strongest Shinobi

Chapter 11 - Training and Graduation

As I slowly open my eyes, I feel a slight breeze brushing through my face.

As I go through the memories of my clones that just dispersed, I have a total of ten clones at the moment. Two of my clones are sparring, gaining more insights into my fighting style. One of my clones is at the clan library gaining knowledge, while another one is at the public library in Konoha.

While the last six were the ones that dispersed by themselves, and not because they ran out of chakra but because they accomplish their goals. I had one doing the water walking technique, trying to master the technique fully where it could walk from land to water without even noticing.

By him dispersing with a lot of chakra left meant one thing, the water walking technique was fully mastered.

The last five were the most important ones. I had them doing the highest form of shape transformation, the Rasengan. The rotation aspect of the Rasengan was finally completed, I did my Rasengan training just as the show, using the water balloon and rotating my chakra counter-clockwise to burst it. Of course, unlike Naruto I didn't use both of my hands, I trained until I could do it with only one.

The next step was the power aspect, where I had to increase the volume and density of my chakra. In this step, a rubber ball is useful, trying to burst a rubber ball is difficult since a rubber shell is thicker than a balloon.

The last step in learning the Rasengan was containment, an empty balloon is needed here. The aspect of containment is to use both the rotation and power of the last two steps in a contained sphere. The catch was, that the balloon couldn't pop or be moved by the chakra inside of it. The Rasengan would be master after that.

And like that my days went off, I had the clones that were sparring and going to the library, practice Shurikenjutsu instead. The ones sparring heat a plateau, even if they spar the whole day I wouldn't notice a change. Probably I needed to strengthen my body, or gain more fighting styles and adapt to them. And the ones absorbing knowledge at the library already learned all they could. The one that master the water walking technique was practicing the Rasengan with the other five.

After the fourth month of attending the academy, I noticed Itachi stopped showing up. There was also a rumored going around that he had graduated and was ready to become a real ninja. Of course, since it was the fourth month of the school year he wasn't on a team yet. He was set to train under his father until the end of the school year to form a team with the graduates.

"Kira, come to the study room, I want to talk to you." I heard my father say that as soon as I went into the house. As I left my bag and organized my stuff I headed to the study room. Some days I would go to the school instead of sending one of the clones, I just wanted to keep an eye on my classmates and see if there was anyone of interest. The result was disappointing, although they were people from the major clans nobody could compare to Itachi or me.

As I opened the door to the study room I saw my father sitting down waiting for me. "I heard rumors about Itachi graduating already," he said while looking at me.

"I think the rumors are true, I haven't seen him in the class for the last few days, and I've also heard his father is training him."

"Hmm, I see. Do you want to graduate? I can talk to the professors to put you on early graduation," he said with a serious expression on his face.

"Is everything alright dad? I never thought something like this would bother you, especially since we have a bet that I would finish first in my class hahaha," I said with a laugh trying to lighten the mood.

'Hmm, it seems that the clan has their interest in mind and that it seems to be with me. If I play this right I can get some benefits from the clan while also getting their praise to my household.' I thought while my father was finishing talking.

"I can graduate early if you want me, but about the bet, it will count as me being the winner," I said with a grin on my face.

I saw my father give a small sigh, 'it seems that he was under some pressure, probably he also wanted me to graduate and prove that I'm as good as Itachi.'

"After graduating what will I do? I would have to wait until the end of the year with nothing to do, I mean, Fugaku is teaching Itachi and it's probably on advanced technique." My father saw the innocent face.

"Hahaha okay son I know, I know, I will train you when I'm available and will give you some techniques. We don't want you falling behind Itachi after all." He said with a big smile plastered around his face, "Okay I have to go and tell everyone in the clan the good news and set up a talk to the professor about your early graduation.

With that my father left in a hurry, presumably to show off in front of his friends. With the graduation in mind, I stopped the six clones practicing Rasengan and concentrated on Shurikenjutsu and some basic ninjutsu and things we were taught at the academy.

After a week I was called to a separate room by a different professor, "Okay Akira, it seems that you're father Jin has proposed the idea of early graduation. I everything is fine we shall start now to get everything over as soon as we can."

"Okay sir, I'm fine to take the test whenever," I told him with a serious expression, neither arrogant nor nervous.

"Hmm, you have to pass three exams to graduate. The first one is a written exam, the written exam will have twenty questions, you need to answer seven-teen correctly to be considered a passing score. The second exam would consist of you performing three ninjutsu, preferably the body replacement, the clone technique, and the transformation. And lastly, you will have to run an obstacle course, the reason is that we want to see if you qualified to be a genin." He finished saying while giving me the first exam.

After five minutes I got up and gave the exam to the professor, "Ohh, we have a smart one don't we haha. Oh would you look at that, that a perfect score," he said with a surprised look on his face.

"Next would you mind showing me the three jutsu I told you about?"

As he said that I immediately did the body replacement technique, followed by the clone technique, and lastly the transformation technique. I imitated the professor in front of me. "It seems all of this is easy for you, you can transform into me perfectly. Okay, it seems you have the basics down, okay let's move to the obstacle course." As we walk towards the obstacle course he told me what it consist of.

"The obstacle will test you on different things, your speed, strength, and coordination. On this course, you will have to jump over walls, crawl, pass through monkey bars, balance yourself in a beam and run on loose sand. You have five minutes to finish all of this, if you exceed the time limit you will have to try some other time. Is everything clear?" He explain everything as we approached the course.

We stopped in front of a white line, "Okay once you're ready just run, I'll start the timer once you take off, there will be no breaks."

I took a deep breath and went as fast as I could run, my speed wasn't anything to laugh at. Every since I transmigrated to Naruto I've been practicing my body and taijutsu. I worked hard and even invented my fighting style that requires a good body, speed, power, and balance. The test was very simple and in less than 2 minutes I was at the end.

The professor just approached me and hand me the forehead protector engraved with Konoha's symbol, "Congratulations, you are now genin of Konoha, may you have become a great ninja in the future."

I had a big smile on my head as I put the headband on my forehead, 'Finally, I became a ninja, can't wait to go on C-rank missions and above and go outside Konoha."
