Chereads / Child Of The Shore / Chapter 2 - Academy

Chapter 2 - Academy

Kakashi and I were walking down to the academy when I zoned out and started thinking about my twin brother Suigestu. I snapped out of my thoughts when I bumped into a boy with blonde hair. I was fin through my body turned water protecting me from getting hurt. The boy through had fallen on the ground.

"Sorry," He said his cheeks a little red, before standing up.

I nodded my head and walked past him. I then continue walking towards the Academy with Kakashi. I looked back at the blonde and saw he looked a little sad.

'Maybe I should have said something. He seems a little bit lonely,' I thought.

"Here we are. Want me to walk to in?" Kakashi asked.

I nodded. I needed someone to take me inside, I was too nervous about being in a new village. As we walked in, I saw a lot of kids looking my way. We walked inside a classroom and the sensei teaching this class told the class my name. Soon after, Kakashi left.

"We have a new student, her name is Hamako Hōzuki. Does anyone have any questions?" The sensei asked.

I saw a blonde girl with a ponytail raising her hand. "Hey, my name is Ino Yamanaka and I want to know, do you find anyone attractive?"

"I'm new here so I don't find anyone attractive," I replied.

I then saw a boy with a dog on his head raise his hand. "My name is Kiba and I was wondering if your hair natural white?"

"Yes my hair is naturally white," I replied.

"Does anyone else have any questions for Hamako?" The sensei asked.

I didn't see anyone else raise their heads. So I was guessing that was the last question.

"Alright Hamako you can sit next to Sauske also my name is Iruka," Iruka sensei said pointing at a boy with raven hair.

I nodded and walked over towards Sauske and sat next to him. I could sense some of the girls glaring at me and I didn't understand why.  I noticed the raven hair boy looking at me annoyed but then looked away.

'My new life here is going to be interesting. I hope I made the right choice staying here,' I thought.

Iruka sensei then started talking about Charka. I zoned out since I already knew all about Charka since I been training with my brothers since I and Suigestu were four years old.

As we all ran outside to play, I noticed a boy. He was the one who bumped into me earlier.  He was sitting all alone, so I went up to him.

'Maybe I should try making friends with him. I will be living here from now on. It would be a great idea to make some friends,' I thought walking over to the boy.

"Hello," I said as I extended my arm after walking over to him.

Naruto's P.O.V

I heard someone say hello and then saw someone extend their hand out to me. I then looked up to see that girl from earlier.

'She kind of pretty,' I thought.

I smile at her after getting over my surprise she was saying hi. I then shook her hand.

"Do you want to be my friend?" She asked.

"Yeah! But how come you're not judging me, like other people? I asked.

She looked at with a confused look on her face.

"I'm new here so I don't know why people would be judging you," She replied blinking her eyes.

I smiled and stood up. I then hugged me, and she stood there froze before awkwardly hugging me back.

"What's your name by the way? I'm Naruto Uzumaki!" I said as I smiled.

"Nice to meet you Naruto, I'm Hamako Hōzuki." she smiled.

"And where you get the sword from?"

"Oh it was a gift from someone important to me," she said with a sad expression.

'I wonder why she seems sad about the sword,' I thought.

"Well we sure go back inside," she said walking back towards the Academy.

I nodded and follow her inside with a smile on my face happy I found a friend.

Hamako's P.O.V

Once class was over at the Academy. I was outside of the place I was living with Kakashi.

I was practicing my sword against a water clone.

'I wish Suigestu was here so I would have someone to train with instead of a clone,' I thought with a sigh as I continue fighting my clone.

"Not bad your older brother taught you well," A voice said.

I then turned to see Kakashi walking over towards me.

"Yeah, he did," I replied. "He was of the best word master I knew. Plus and my twin brother trained together every day."

"I'm not surprised you're older brother Mangestu was a member of the seven swordsmen of the Mist wasn't he," he said.

"Yeah, he was. I figure someone would figure it out eventually since my brother was most likely in the Bingo book," I said.

"It is I knew your older brother's name sounded familiar so I decided to figure out where I heard it before," he said.

"I see. I'm not as good as him yet, but my twin brother I would say is probably close to being as strong as him. Who knows how much stronger he will get on his journey," I said.

"You get stronger just like your brother will, but your definitely strong for a seven-year-old that for sure."

I shrugged. "I guess it would make sense since I been training since I was only three years old," I said putting my sword back on my sheath on my back.

"Anyway dinner is ready so come on inside," he said.

"Alright coming," I said following Kakashi inside to eat dinner.
