Chapter : 17 : First Day At The Shinobi Academy : ( Part : 1 ) :
Location : Konohagakure No Sato : Shinobi Academy :
" Ding ! dong ! ding ! dong ! "
As the first Bell of the class rang one after another students started entering their classroom .
Almost everyone in the room had a look of excitement and nervousness in their eyes .
After all this was there first class in the Shinobi Academy which will also mark their first step towards becoming a true shinobi .
As the young students entered their new classroom they quickly started forming groups of friends to sit together .
And one of the students who entered the classroom this time was non other than the main character of the story Yamamoto Takeru .
" So it finally begins . "
He had waited a along time for this day preparing meticulously everything in advance .
Moreover now his power has also increased a lot which gives him the confidence that right now at least he will most likely be the one of the strongest in his class.
For the last few days he had been practicing with the playful clowed and the Wado Ichimonji .
At first he was just using wooden practice dummy as his training equipment but found that the amount of progress he was making was actually very little .
So he decided to go to the forest near the village to train in properly by fighting against various wild beast .
Obviously he had to keep it a secret and make sure that he does not cause too much commotion .
But soon all this secret training paid off really well especially in his swordsmanship .
His Miyamoto Musashi character template had been progressing a little too slowly in past despite the fact that it was actually much easier to learn than the Sanju Hashirama character template .
The main reason was that Miyamoto Musashi was a swordman .
So no matter how much you practice you cannot progress in it as long as you don't have a sword with you.
And before Wado Ichimonji Yamamoto Takeru had no sword with him .
So even after learning all the other skills which did not require a sword he was not making much progress to the point that he only progressed one percent in one week .
This all change however when he got the Wado Ichimonji .
And when he started using it he felt a real difference as if a dam that was blocking his path for so long had been broken .
Due to the Miyamoto Musashi character template using the Wado Ichimonji came so natural to him that it felt that as if he had been using it since a long time .
Buy now he has already reached 58 percent mastery in his Miyamoto Musashi and he was confident that right now his swordsmanship alone was enough to defeat most young genins .
After all while Miyamoto Musashi from the Baki series was not as strong when compared to the power level of the Naruto and Boruto world he was still a formidable opponent and his skills with swords are truly legendary .
In fact in his 100% power Yamamoto Takeru has no doubts that Miyamoto Musashi from Baki series could easily take down a chunin or a Tokubetsu Jonin .
But still at the end of the day this power fell short when compared to the real threats in this world .
And for that he needs to quickly progress in his Senju Hashirama template which was right now at 40% .
The progress was very slow , so he was thinking that perhaps getting more information about the first hokage from the Academy library would help him in the matter .
At first he thought of going to the Senju princess for help .
After all she would have more information about her grandfather especially in the Sanju library .
But after carefully thinking about it why would Sanju Tsunade even allow him there .
After all while he had talent that does not mean he can go around and ask people to share there clan secret with them .
Especially when it comes to the first hokage the god of shinobi .
The moment he does that he will come under extreme scrutiny and perhaps the village will put surveillance on him .
After all while the era of great shinobi conflicts have been over that does not mean that everything had changed .
Many things like clan secrets and village secrets were considered equally important as they were did in the past .
And while Uzumaki Naruto was a kind man even he would not be foolish enough not to take this matters seriously .
After all there was a difference between being kind and foolish .
And when you are leading a society of shinobi you have to remember the difference between the two .
So once again he came back to the square from where he had started .
After looking for a place to set he found an empty seat and decided to sit in it .
One after another students started coming in the class filling the ones empty room with a box of charter.
And many similar figures like Shikadai , Inojin , Choco , Metal lee all entered the classroom one after another .
After that another person entered the classroom .
A all too familiar blonde kid named Uzumaki Boruto .
' So here he is - Uzumaki Boruto the main character of the series . ' - Takeru narrowed his eyes as he looked at the figure infront of him .
One must say that it was really strange or perhaps it was not strange at all that despite coming and living in this village all this time he had never once met Boruto face to face .
Even when he went to meet Shikadai and others it was always at a time when Boruto was not present .
Even if the village was very big and it was not possible for everyone to know each other It still felt a little strange to him .
But now that they were in the same class this would change permanently .
" Alright everyone settle down the classes are about to start . "
Soon after that the class teacher entered the room .
And just like in the show it was non other than Aburame Shino .
Even from a distance Takeru could clearly sense the thousands of insects inside his clothes .
If it were a few years ago or in his previous life he certainly would have run away from there by now .
Fortunately his tolerance has increased a lot specially after practicing his character templates .
" Alright everyone welcome to the shinobi academy . "
" From now on you all will be the future of our village and will carry the will of Fire . "
" So I hope that all of you will study hard in this Academy and protect the village and everyone you love in the future . "
After giving a very passionate speech that Takeru never expected from someone like Aburame Shino the class finally begin .
" Alright! I would like for everyone to come forward and give a short introduction about yourself - about your likes and dislikes and what are your goals . "
With that the classic introduction phase of the class begin as one after another students started going to introduce themselves .
There likes and dislikes and their goals where obviously very similar to each other like protecting the village to become strong some even said they just wanted to be cool .
Some of them also said that they wanted to serve their clan in the future or become the next hokage .
Soon it came time for Nara Shikadai who was less than enthusiastic about giving an introduction.
And this was clearly felt in his speech .
" Hello ! everyone I am Nara Shikadai and I like to sleep and play with my friends I don't like trouble some things like going to the academy and my goals just to become strong enough to protect my friends . "
After the finished speaking the class room fell silent .
Even Shino sensei's mouth twitched a little .
This was a classic Nara introduction and he felt just how close it was to the introduction given by his father during their Academy days .
' It seems this runs in the blood . ' - Shino shook his head helplessly as he motioned the next person to come in .
Takeru on the other hand felt that the introduction was perfect when it was suited to Shikadai .
Then one after another both Chocho and Inojin came forward to give their introductions .
Even Metal Lee came forward to introduce himself .
However the moment he saw so many people watching him he lost his control and fell to the ground in nervousness making the entire class burst out in laughter .
Then came Uchiha Sarada the only daughter of Uchiha Sasuke and Sakura .
" Hi everyone my name is Uchiha Sarada . "
"What I like is to be with my friends and family however I do not like a certain trouble causing friends in the room . "
As she said the last part she looked at Boruto , who snorted and looked away .
" Also my dream is to become a hokage some day just like my inspiration Lord seventh . "
Hearing this many people in the room were quite surprised .
After all there are some learned person in the room who knew the history of the village .
And if an Uchiha became the hokage then it would be the first time in the village's history .
" A very good goal young Sarada ! I am sure you will achieve your goal if you work hard . " - Shino on the other hand seemed quite impressed by her declaration and openly encouraged her .
" Thank you sensei. "
Seeing that her sensei was supporting her dream Sarada felt quite encouraged , after all not many took her words seriously .
" Hmph ! Who wants to become a lousy Hokage anyways. "
Suddenly Boruto who was casually sitting on his desk said with a smirk on his face .
This suddenly caused Sarada's expression to become sour in an instant .
' This idiot always keeps destroying my happy time . ' - she thought to herself while giving Boruto a death glare .
But just as the situation was about to escalate into a little argument between both Boruto and Sarada , Shino decided to step in .
" Alright that's enough ! Boruto you should not be making fun of someone's dream like that . "
" Fine ! fine ! I won't do it again . "
With that the situation was settled and the introduction continued .
After sometime Boruto also came and gave his introduction in his usual loud and unrestrained manner .
One must say that he was really well known among the students in the class .
Some knew him as the son of the current hokage while some were more familiar with his mischievous activities having been a victim to his pranks .
And as for those who did not know him before they also came to realise who he was after the incident he pulled a few days ago .
" Alright ! Yamamoto Takeru come forward and give your introduction to the class . "
Finally Takeru's turn came to introduce himself .
" Wow ! Who is he ? "
" He looks strong !!! "
" I don't know but he look really handsome . "
" Whatever I don't think he is anything special . "
It seems even before he took the stage Takeru had already became the centre of attention of the entire class .
As the students in the room full of curiosity talked about Takeru the man in question had already arrived infront of Aburame Shino .
Then he turn around to look at everyone present and saw various curious gazes towards him .
Even Boruto , Sarada and even Sumire seemed to be curious about him at this point .
They must have heard about him from Shikadai and others .
" Good morning everyone present here my name is Yamamoto Takeru I am from today onwards I will be studying with you in this class . "
Takeru started speaking with a professional smile on his face that seemed to have caused some girls in the room to give him a second look .
" My goal is to become a strong shinobi in the future so that I can protect myself , my family and friends from any harm . "
After giving a little pause he started speaking about his likes and dislikes .
" I am passionate about studying , hard working my way as a shinobi to learn new things and make new friends . "
" However I do not like arrogant people , cowards , whiners but... "
As he said that his voice became colder and more sharper that even Shino who was standing beside him felt it .
" But out of all the thing that I don't like of all are ' Perverts ' . "
" Gulp ! " - Takeru's expression was so cold when he said the last sentence many people in the room instantly gulped unconsciously in fear .
Then suddenly as if nothing happened his expression turned gentler again as he finished his introduction by saying .
" I hope we can all become good friends and work together as members of the same village . "
" Thank you for listening to me so patiently . "
