(AN:Hi, I'm back?Did you miss me? Ok I'll stop, anyway, my phone isn't fixed, but it's screen can still tap, just hurts my fingers considering the glassđI'll still try to write a chapter everyday 3 days atleast, please just give the story a chance, I truly apologise for the inconvenienceđ)
"Alright, quiet down. We'll be testing each and every one of you to establish the order in the class, to see who needs to be focused on the most, am I clear?" Iruka spoke, intimidating the other kids, except me, cuz I'm awesome.
"Yes, sensei!" they all answered in unison, which honestly made my ears ring a bit. Iruka nodded before holding up three fingers, "Alright, the test will be split into 3 parts, an obstacle course, accuracy, and finally sparring." I believe I'll win this, I wonder though, what are Itachi and Minato's records, might as well ask.
I held my arm up, hoping Iruka would notice me, a few minutes later, he called my name,"Sensei, were these test apart of the academy when the Fourth was still a student?" He seemed to think for a while before nodding, "Yes, they were, they were introduced by Lord Second a few years after the academy's creation, why?"
"No reason, sensei, just curiousity." Iruka's eyes narrowed, "I don't believe that, especially considering your personality. You're gonna try and break their records won't you? Naruto, they're some of the best our village has produced, don't think it'll be that simple."
I hummed, "Doesn't matter, I'll surpass then anyway, so what were there record times and accuracy scores?" Iruka went through his notebook for a while before stepping forward, "Alright, Minato Namikaze, lord fourth, has a record of 1:08 for the obstacle course, with a score of 18/20 for the kunai and shuriken portion, with Itachi Uchiha, he has a time of 1:30 for the obstacle course and a score of 20/20 for the kunai and shuriken."
Those scores make sense, Minato was faster but itachi had better accuracy huh, it's to be expected considering his heritage.
Iruka nodded at us and gestured to follow him, we eventually reached the course, resembling a jungle gym from my previous world, just way more complicated.
It started from a wall scale, but you had to do it with a sack filled with bricks, you had to keep the sack for the rest of the course,afterwards, you had to scale a higher wall, which had a slide on top, after sliding down, you had to time your jump to reach a set of monkey bars, if you didn't, you'd have to go back around and climb the wall again and try again. Tedious, I know. Then after finishing the monkey bars you had to scale another wall! What's it with these people and walls man?!
Sigh
Whatever, after the last wall, which eerily resembles the one from those ultimate ninja warrior TV shows, you had to climb a 4 meter rope and ring a bell at the top to stop your time. Simple right?
Anyway, here's the time for the important people.
Sakura-4:27
Ino-4:11
Hinata-2:20
Shino-2:42
Shikamaru-DnF(He was too lazy to do it)
Choji-3:21(Iruka lured him using some food)
Kiba-2:26
Sasuke-2:11
"Naruto, you're up next." I nodded as I stepped infront of the first wall, Iruka blew his whistle and I burst forward and grabbed the sack, quickly climbing over the wall. I ran to the next wall and scaled it as well, I slid down the slide and managed to grab the monkey bars, I swung from one bar to the next, flawlessly. I ran to the last wall and scaled it with little to no difficulty, after, I quickly went up the rope and rang the bell after I reached the top.
I was barely breathing hard, a few deep breaths and I was a-okay. I fell down the rope to my feet, my eyes falling on Iruka, his eyes wide and jaw dropped. Fishruka.
"4-47 seconds...."
Iruka breathed out. It was a bit better than I expected, "W-What just....?" I heard Sasuke mutter, I guess he still thought of his brother as this untouchable entity.
"E-eh?"
"Who's he?"
"Hey-Hey, isn't he kinda cute?"
'Huh?' is this what being popular feels like? I don't like it, the attention seems troublesome. "Calm down, it's time to move on." Iruka led us to the back of the academy where tons of targets were set up against some trees, 20 in total. Once again, we'll gloss over the npc's and focus on the cannon characters.
So, we all got 10 kunai and 10 shuriken, we were to throw all 20 and our score was the number of targets we hit.
Sakura-7/20
Ino-11/20
Hinata-15/20
Shino-13/20
Shikamaru-10/20
Choji-10/20
Kiba-11/20
Sasuke-16/20
Then it was my turn, you can probably tell how that'll go, Iruka handed me the shuriken and kunai, I threw them with no specific technique, I believed it to be unnecessary as the targets were stationery.
"I'm not even surprised, Naruto, 20/20."
The other kids were once again surprised, but that doesn't matter much. Iruka then led us back round the academy, to the sparing ground near the front, where he split us up into groups of 2 but he singled me out for some reason.
"Ok,but why?" I could honestly guess, but I wanted to hear the full thing from Iruka.
"Well, you're obviously superior to your classmates, I was planning on holding a tournament styled gauntlet and have the two best spar at the end. We only need 1 other finalist to spar against you."
Makes sense, I don't know who will win though.
Afterwards, the others took part in spars, eventually it came down to Hinata and Sasuke.
(Sasuke POV:)
I can't believe it, that blonde broke ni-san's record, I felt jealous, I could never beat
ni-san in anything. I also heard how Iruka-sensei said that he was superior to the rest of us, including me!
I'll prove them wrong, I'll prove them all wrong. Later Iruka-sensei led us to a sparring ground, we all fought until there were only 2 of us left, me and a girl from the Hyuga clan.
I can't lose!
My mind was blank as Iruka-sensei signalled to start, everything was a blur as I ran to the girl, my fist raised. I threw the punch, smirking, already anticipating my win!~
Eh?...
She dodged?
