| | Shiiro Uchiha Perspective | |
' After years of enduring this uncontrollable childish instinct i finally have some maturity and control over this body. '
' It seems the ninja academy today is different from the future. Even the Principal and instructors are from various major clans. I'm pretty sure from what I remember the principal wasn't even shown often in the Naruto Series. '
" Will i even be able to compare to these children in terms of instinct and reaction speed... " Shiiro who was busy thinking, mumbled while following some children during the guide around the Academy.
" What do you mean children!, Shiiro-kun you are also one of us. You always act up like an adult humph!. " A young Uchiha girl suddenly hit Shiiro on his shoulders.
' Ah right, she was here too. '
Shiiro looked at this Uchiha girl with a deadpan look.
" Ah there you are again, always ignoring me! " the young Uchiha girl again smacked Shiiro on his shoulder making Shiiro bulge a small vein on his head.
" Smack me again and I'll really smack you back Shika! " Shiiro who was looking at this young Uchiha girl named Shika Uchiha with an angered look.
" aaahhh oh no Shiiro is gonna punch me eekk!! " Shika let out a annoying cry of innocence that made some children around them laugh. It was annoying enough to be funny to some of the Uchiha children who knew Shika and Shiiro.
' Haaagghh! I can't believe this, I am getting irritated so easily by some banter of a child. I really need to restrain myself and this annoying childish instinct of mine... '
Although Shiiro has an Adult consciousness and mind he still can not avoid the childish impulses and instinct that he feels sometimes when emotions rallies him up. This made him more of a child in front of others and an easily irritated one at that.
After a few minutes of going around the academy, everyone was ordered to follow Hideki back to the Foundation Building of the Ninja Academy. This was the moment when the children had saw the image of the Third Great Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
And when he introduced himself to the students he immediately went to the point and gave an awe aspiring speech to the children that were currently gathered. These children where of the various clans some from the great clans, some from smaller clans, and some from the civilian side. But all had one thing in common, they had not known how amazing of a person the Hokage was.
And in this very moment, almost all of the children got to bask in the presence of greatness of the Third Hokage and his charisma. This very moment was the moment that many children aspired to become Hokage as well, and even an unexpected scenario of affecting the academy teaching council and the principal as well from the awe-aspiring speech that the Third Hokage gave to everyone.
' Dang... i- i didn't know that he could give out a speech like that. ' Shiiro who was looking with shock and even terror at the image of the Third Great Hokage was out of words in that very moment.
' Wouldn't this count at the Talk-no-Jutsu that Naruto always uses. or is this an even better version of it.! Hiruzen really out did his speech and its even hard to think that this was his first time preparing a speech for all of the students in the Ninja Academy... '
After moments of lapse from the shock that Hiruzen was. The students was finally ordered to line up and take the notes that wrote their respective examination rooms. After Shiiro Uchiha had found his examination room, he was met with a proctor named Hideki and he also observed the surrounding and found the sheer amount of the children that had enrolled.
' ho! and to think this was only 10% of the children enrolled this year. ' Shiiro was shocked at the sheer amount of children was fitted in one room. It was even more fascinating that there would only be one proctor monitoring everyone in this room.
' These amount of students feels like the same amount as it was in the Chuunin Exams of the Naruto Series. I can't believe it was like this in the Ninja Academy in the past... '
After Hideki had introduced himself he motioned for everyone to follow him to the Training Grounds of the Foundation Building.
By this time the Physical Training Examination was going on its way, and shiiro was part of the Uchiha Children who passed the examination without backing out.
Although he was weaker compared to some of the children he still had the endurance of an adult, this made it a bit easier to finish the 10 Laps hence passing the examination.
' haaaghh! haaaggh! I can't believe there would be children of only one or two years older than me that could do these physical examinations. This really shows just how far I am compared to these children huh... ' Shiiro observed the children who was only one or two years older than him and looked that some of them didn't even catch their breathe as they finished the laps.
For a modern man it was terrifying to see children at the age of 5 or 6 with the ability to run 10 laps or more in a Training Field equivalent to a Football Field.
After everyone had finished laps in the Training Field and had been graded, Hideki then told everyone to mold their chakra and spread it throughout their bodies after they had finished awakening the Chakra Meridians of all the students.
By this time the 6 Chuunin alongside Hideki was observing all of the students and even ranked them by the time they molded their chakra and the time they spread it evenly in their body. They also took into consideration the amount of Chakra the children had and ranked them in that aspect as well.
' hmm it seems there are 5 Uchiha, 3 Hyuuga, 4 Aburame, 2 Sarutobi, 2 Yamanaka, 5 Senju, 7 Civilian students and 3 Sarutobi children that are quite the promising aspects of this batch ' Hideki thought and looked around to see the 6 Chuunin agreeing to their decisions.
' Well it seems it's decided already that they are going to be put in the Secret Elite Class. With this amount of prospects we should be able to strengthen the Anbu or the ninja deployed in the frontlines. The Hokage should be informed of this later by the secret Anbu in our Chuunin ranks. '
By this time the Hokage alongside the council and the patriarchs of the Great Clans had agreed to create a secret elite class that will nurture the promising students that graduate during the examination. This provided the students a very strong foundation and a sure entry to the Anbu or the Chuunin Ranks in the future, although some maybe weaker compared to the others this was still a very strong bunch of students if nurtured properly. Hence many of the Great Clan Patriarchs hard offered their Jounin Ninja to teach these promising bunch of students.
" Clap* Clap* Alright everyone, we will now proceed to the Basic Chakra control examination and we will discuss the fundamental nature elements. " As soon as Hideki had clapped everyone who was sitting got up from their lotus position and the 6 Chuunin proctor disappeared immediately and left only dust.
" As i have expected, there are a lot of talented students among all of you, and i want to congratulate all of you again in unlocking your chakra meridians. We will start first in discussing the Basic knowledge in the Nature Elements and its fundamentals. "
" Chakra is the essential energy source for ninja. It's a combination of physical energy and spiritual energy, formed within the body. Chakra can be molded and shaped into different elements, known as nature transformations:
Fire Release (Katon): Creates techniques and arts using fire.
Water Release (Suiton): Creates techniques and arts using water.
Earth Release (Doton): Creates techniques and arts using earth.
Wind Release (Fuuton): Creates techniques and arts using wind.
Lightning Release (Raiton): Creates techniques and arts using lightning.
By combining these basic elements, a ninja can develop many more complex techniques and arts. Chakra is also used to perform ninjutsu, which encompasses a wide range of techniques, including:
Taijutsu: Physical combat techniques.
Genjutsu: Illusionary techniques that manipulate the senses.
Ninjutsu: Techniques that involve the manipulation of natural energy.
In essence, chakra is the foundation of the ninja world, powering their abilities and determining their potential. "
As Hideki was explaining many students had raised their hands and was noticed by Hideki. So he pointed at one and let him ask his questions.
" Proctor Hideki-san! How can we mold and shape our chakra into different elements?? " Shika was the one to ask Hideki the question and she was next to Shiiro while Hideki was answering Shiiro also pondered on how it really is molded and shaped.
" Aha! well chakra molding is a complex process that involves both physical and mental exertion. It's akin to sculpting, where the ninja must shape and refine their chakra into a specific form. and its most basic process is to do this.
Focus and Intent: A ninja must have a clear mental image of the desired element. For instance, to create fire, one must visualize flames.
Chakra Manipulation: The ninja then channels their chakra into a specific part of their body, such as their hands or mouth.
Shape Transformation: The chakra is molded and shaped into the desired form, mimicking the properties of the element. For fire, the chakra might be compressed and heated.
Release: The shaped chakra is released, manifesting as the desired elemental technique.
Although there are some key factors that can affect molding chakra, everything can be learned. So here are some Factors affecting chakra molding.
Chakra Nature Affinity: Some individuals possess a natural affinity for certain elements, making it easier to mold chakra into those forms.
Practice and Experience: Consistent training is essential for mastering chakra molding and developing new techniques.
Mental Fortitude: Strong willpower and focus are crucial for complex techniques.
It's important to note that this is a simplified explanation. The actual process is likely far more intricate and involves a deep understanding of chakra's properties. Which all of you will not fully learn in our discussion but will learn the basics of it once all of you start attending the academy and some advanced methods on molding and shaping chakra in the future. "
Just after the discussion had finished, Hideki had clapped again and motioned for everyone to sit in the Lotus Position again. But this time Hideki had instructed everyone to gather a single lamina from the leaflets he brought along.
" Poof* Well here are the special leaves that the chakra paper are made out of, everyone come and get one leaf " Hideki had shown everyone the leaves and everyone took one for each.
Everyone sat again in a Lotus Position, many students had already started running their chakra in their meridians but they had always blown the leaf away, and by this time Hideki had motioned for everyone to listen.
" Clap* Clap* The goal is to lift the leaves without tearing them. This requires precise control over chakra, ensuring it was neither too strong nor too weak. If the chakra is too strong, the leaves would tear. If it is too weak, the leaves wouldn't lift. The goal is to find the perfect balance of chakra flow to accomplish the task.
So for everyone who still does not understand the method i will demonstrate it and everyone will observe me do it.
I will place this leaf in the palm of my hand, Everyone please do come and observe how i control and channel my chakra to my fingertips and palm. After i have channeled enough chakra i will now focus and slowly balance the leaf and lift it.
I will be grading everyone by the time they finish. The longer you are able to balance the chakra paper leaf, the higher your grade will be for this examination! So please do take this examination seriously and focus properly as i will be observing and grading everyone. "
As soon as Hideki sat up and started observing the students, he saw many promising students that were different from the previous students graded in the Chakra awakening. This had helped Hideki grade some students and surprisingly most students including the students that were promising in the chakra awakening had properly balanced the leaves and shown focus above the average students currently present.
' I guess this confirms that all of them are going to the Secret Elite Class huh, Well i do say that the students this year are extremely promising even the students that are not going to the secret class are still promising and i can say that some will reach the rank of chuunin in the next 10 years. '
As Hideki was going around and observing the students he was also thinking about the potential of the students that are present. After a few minutes of doing so many students had already given up and left only some of the promising students in their year. Shiiro Uchiha was one of these students that reached the 2 minute mark, and this secured him a spot in the secret class through Hideki's eyes.
As soon as the 5 minute mark was reached, Hideki enforced chakra through his clap and this broke everyone's focus.
" I am pretty sure that all of you that are left still have enough endurance to go past the 5 minute mark, but the examination will now conclude. And I have already graded everyone in this examination, Thank you everyone for participating and i will dismiss this classroom now. But be sure to be alert as the academy will send a proctor to come pick you up if you had passed the exam today.! "
Hideki explained the situation and everyone was nervous because they didn't know if they had passed the examination or not. And now they had to wait for the next day or week to receive notice that they have passed, Although some students are not worried even Shiiro was not worried as he had shown promising potential. Some still went home nervous and worried.
...
knock* knock*
" Hokage-Sama, may i come in? " Hideki was now in the Hokage office after he had tallied the examination score of all the students. It was quite a process and he had seen the potential of the students himself so he was to report to the Hokage by the time he finished grading.
" Ah! Hideki please do come in. " Hiruzen who was accompanied by the elder council as well as Danzo was present in the room and Hiruzen had already received some report from the different proctors today.
" I apologize for being late Hokage-sama, But i have now the results of the students that passed and the students that failed. I do say that most of the students that failed are from the civilian side so most of the students are extremely promising this year Hokage-Sama. " After listening to Hideki's explanation and concerns the Hokage motioned for Hideki to hand over the report.
" hmmm, it really does look promising. " As soon as Hiruzen read through the paper he looked at Elder Mitokado, Elder Utatane, and Root Leader Danzo. They had simultaneously nodded towards each other and motioned for Hideki to go while thanking his efforts.
As soon as Hideki left, Elder Utatane had expressed his words to Hiruzen.
" What do you think about the size of the Elite Class Hiruzen? I am pretty sure that we had already employed a promising Senju in the case but shouldn't we need another one to balance the class.? "
Elder Utatane had given a good question to Hiruzen as even they had not expected the amount of extremely promising students this year. So they had only employed one Jounin from the Senju Clan who specialized in Bukijutsu and Kenjutsu but was knowledgeable and wise in the art of ninja techniques and arts.
" I believe a very promising Jounin of the Hyuuga clan had offered to volunteer? should we inform her employment in the secret class now? " Utatane had again expressed his opinion and elder Mitokado agreed in unison while Danzo was just observing them.
" I will inform the Patriarch of the Hyuuga clan and send a letter of employment to Kaede Hyuuga as well. " Hiruzen who agreed with both the elders had started to write a notice letter to Hiashi and a letter of employment to Kaede Hyuuga
" So Taro Senju and Kaede Hyuuga will be the Jounin advisors for the Elite Class. I will inform the principal of this news and also check on the progress of the Elite Classroom. "
Elder Mitokado had left the Hokage Building and went to the Ninja Academy.
