Naruto's Strongest Shinobi

To be accepted into the academy, you need 3 things;

1. Love the village and hope to help preserve peace and prosperity.

2. Have a mind that will not yield, able to endure hard training and work.

3. Be healthy in mind and body.

"Come on Kira! This is your first day in the academy, you should be more excited!" my mom said, it seems that she is more interested than me.

"I'm on my way mom, dad don't forget your promise!" I yelled while getting ready.

"About teaching ninjutsu?" said my dad in confusion.

"That too, I was talking about teaching me how to awaken my Byakugan," I responded.

"You still remember about that promise? Fine, I'll test you in the afternoon to see if you have the requirements to awaken the Byakugan." He said in a defeated voice.

Once we arrived at the academy, we went into an open space where all the new alumni where to stand.

Once everyone was ready, Shikaku Nara went on stage. Shikaku gave an overview of what to expect in the academy and the rules of it, he finished his speech by introducing the Saindame Hokage.

At the end of the speech, we were given a pamphlet, the pamphlet contained information on the teachers, as well as which kid goes to which classroom and who their sensei was going to be.

Going through the list, I noticed that my teacher was named Daikoku Funeno.

After being dismissed, from the auditorium, we headed over to the academy. Once inside the classroom, our teacher presented himself, he gave a short explanation of himself and what he expected from us. Daikoku seemed like a jovial type of guy, we went down the road till it was the turned of a kid named Saisu Kamana, that kid just seemed brash.

After Saisu, it was my turn to introduce myself, I simply said my name and that I wanted to be a strong shinobi that can protect my clan and village. After me, it was Itachi Uchiha turn.

Itachi gave a short presentation, Itachi said that he wishes that there were no wars or conflict in the world. Some of the girls in the class blushed when the saw Itachi stand up and give his talk.

The teacher started by giving us a syllabus for the whole year, what we were going to do and learn about.

I went over the syllabus real quick and saw that nothing interested me a bit, it was mostly physical exercise, Konoha history, some basic school course. Although there was one subject which did interest me a lot, it was the shuriken practice.

Throwing shuriken is my current weakness. In my past life, I never had an interest in learning about cold weapons since a gun can kill you in seconds, my only focus was about martial arts.

Later that week we had shuriken practice, I did a little better than the rest of the students, still, they were some students that were better than me at it, especially Itachi, he had perfect marks on all his throws.

School went on with its subjects, Itachi and I scored the highest score possible on all the tests. Itachi wasn't the competitive guy, he never cared to compete against anyone but himself. I aswell didn't care about competing against anyone.

Being a student in the academy was boring, I already knew most of the stuff we were taught since I read them in the library on our compound. Instead of listening to our teacher I meditate most of the time. After the Nine-Tail attack, my chakra increased tremendously, still, I didn't feel anything special when observing my chakra since I knew I would face monsters that seemed to have unlimited chakra in the future.

A rumor started going around our class that Itachi could beat an upperclassman, when I heard that, I started to hear Saisu yelling Master Itachi and making a parading about him.

After school, I approached Itachi when Saisu and his friends were gone.

"Hey Itachi, hold on!" I yelled trying to catch up to Itachi. Itachi stopped and turned around when he heard me.

"I heard that you defeated an upperclassman is that true?" I asked with interest in the matter.

"Yes that's true," he said with his usual emotionless face. I just smiled at his response when he said that, I knew Itachi wasn't talkative.

"Hey, I started noticing something different about you lately, you know," I said while scrutinizing him.

"What's different?" He asked questioning me and looking at himself.

Itachi simply nodded and waited for me to tell him what was different.

I looked at Itachi with a smile and said, "Where's the fun if I just tell you straight up with you not having to work for it? How about we make a bet?"

"What would the bet entail," Itachi asked after a while of thinking.

"If I win the bet by answering what's different about than when school started, you have to teach me a Jutsu, any Jutsu I want okay," I told Itachi.

"What happens if you are wrong and there's nothing different about me," he asked after hearing what I had to gain.

"I'll teach you the greatest taijutsu practice in Konoha, and I would help you obtain your goal of obtaining world peace, where no wars would be waged against one another," I said the last part in a serious tone.

Once Itachi heard, he stood quiet for a while, "Okay, I agree with the bet," he finally said. "So tell me, what's different about me now than the beginning of the year?" he asked questioningly.

I looked at Itachi with a huge grin on my face, " Well, it seems that you owe me a Jutsu, I'll tell you what Jutsu I want tomorrow okay," I said while looking at Itachi. Itachi's face didn't change, he was just waiting for my answer.

"Well, it seems that at one point during the school year, you decided to stop coming in person and send a shadow clone in your stead," I finally answered the question.

I interrupted Itachi and simply said, "Less talk and more haste, I have stuff to do at home. Remember, you owe me a Jutsu," I said while throwing a fast jab at Itachi's face.

Although Itachi was a genius overall, he didn't have much time to react. After I punched him, he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

'Well, it seems I can finally escape this boring classroom and practice some other stuff,' I said while heading home.
