Chapter 12 - Joining Explosion corps

It's been 3 weeks since Kitsuchi and I started cleaning the stone monument.

We received various lessons from Onoki, mostly about the will of stone and how Iwa shinobi must be strongest among other ninja craps.

Kitsuchi slowly started to show signs of changing his attitude and personality.

But we still can't see eye to eye with each other and always fight. However, when Onoki appears, we act like we made up completely.

During those 3 weeks, I didn't practice any Ninjutsu. I just only practiced chakra control training in my free time.

I didn't have to do Taijutsu training since I always fought Kitsuchi in a stone monument instead of cleaning.

I haven't eaten the charka increase pill yet.

I meet Onoki every day now since he always comes to teach us useless things.

If I eat the pill and suddenly increase chakra reserve tremendously, Onoki will get suspicious.

I will save the chakra increase pill for later.

Today I was called to Tsuchikage's office.

I entered the room and didn't see anyone except Onoki.

"I have come, lord-3rd. Do you need anything from me? " I asked him casually.

I didn't get nervous like last time.

I was used to Onoki's presence.

"Ahh, Genji you are here. Come closer.

The reason I called you is, I think it's time for you to stop cleaning stone.

I am sure you have learned the true meaning of the will of stone by now thanks to my lesson.

Your talent in explosion release is incredible but you are still lacking fine control and power.

Therefore I want you to join the Explosion corps and learn how to use your explosion release properly."

'True meaning of the will of stone my ȧss!! The only thing I learned from you is that you are a very pervert and stubborn old man.'

But I agreed to join Explosion corps.

I was happy that I finally don't have to clean the stones and listen to Onoki's bullcraps.

Also, I was planning to join the explosion corps to train my explosion release before.

"Alright, You need to at least become Genin in order to join Explosion corps.

You already proved yourself capable to be Genin in Academy Battle event.

I already registered you as a genin and member of the explosion corps.

Go to the first floor and receive your headband and ID card.

After that, go to the explosion corps headquarter to receive further instruction.

Genji. I hope you don't disappoint me."

"Understood, lord-3rd."

I answered him. I was grateful for his support.

It was obvious at this point that he is nurturing me as one of the pillars that support Iwagakure in the future.

I went to the first floor and receive my hitai-ate(headband) and ID card.

I was very fascinated by my headband and ID card. I quickly tied my headband on my forehead.

But I didn't go explosion corps headquarter immediately.

I went to the stone monument where Kitsuchi was cleaning stone.

I was definitely going to annoy him to death.

I entered the stone monument and as expected I saw, Kitsuchi working his ȧss off.

Kitsuchi saw me entering and loudly shouted.

"Hey, ȧsshole. How dare you skip your work. Beg and ask for forgiveness to me, then I might consider not tell to the old man."

I laughed out and stuck my tongue out to him.

"You stupid muscle head. Guess what, I am exempt from this stupid punishment now and joined explosion corps.

You can just clean the stones for the rest of your life while I become legendary shinobi. Ahahaha"

"WHAT?!!, You must be lying, How can you be exempt while I am not!!!!"

Kitsuchi got very angry and launched a surprise attack on me, but I was prepared for this and blocked the attack.

"Haha, nice try muscle Head. Now I am very busy and have no time with you. Have fun cleaning stones !!!"

I quickly exited the room, leaving screaming Kitsuchi alone.

Next, I went to the academy to say goodbye to everyone in my class including Shuji.

I was supposed to go study at the academy like normal students after the battle event.

But because of Tsuchikage's order, I couldn't go to the academy instead became cleaner of stone Monument.

I entered my class and told them I am leaving the academy.

Everyone was sad and jealous of me leaving the academy.

I bragged a bit about becoming Genin.

I couldn't see Shuji and class president Kimiko.

I asked Where they are and others told me that those two skipped the year since they did good in academy event and now in upper-class.

I went upper class to say goodbye to Shuji and Kimiko.

Shuji was more determine to carch up to me after hearing I became Genin.

Kimiko just asked how Kitsuchi was doing since she somehow already knew I cleaned the stone monument with Kitsuchi.

I thought it was only one-sided love from Kitsuchi but I guessed wrong.

I just told her, Kitsuchi is having a mental breakdown for no reason and she should go see him now.

Obviously, I didn't tell her that it was because of me pissing him off.

After saying goodbye to everyone in the academy, I quickly went to the explosion corps headquarter.

I showed my ID card to security and they directly brought me to the Explosion Corps Head's room.

In the room, there was a one big person standing.

Standing 7' 0" tall, this big man has a frightening feel about him, and he has a faint burn mark on his right arm.

He has an oval face, a small nose, very thin lips, and his sea-blue eyes are close-set.

He has knee-length, curly, brown hair which worn in dreadlocks, and he has long sideburns.

He has long arms and powerful hands, a powerful torso with chiseled abs, a well-defined waist, and short legs.

"Hello, My name is Genji, 8 years old.

I have come to join explosion corps by Tsuchikage-sama's recommendation."

"Welcome to explosion corps, Genji.

I am Goro, the head of the explosion corps. You can call me Goro-san.

No need to be nervous, I was one of the best friends of your father.

Now that I look closer, you really look similar to your father.

You will be in the 5th division under Ishika.

5th division is where we train newbies and Ishija is the captain of that division.

Since you are a member of the explosion corps, you will be living in an explosion corps dormitory so that you can respond to your order faster.

You will have your own private room in the dormitory.

Do you have any questions?"

"No, Goro-san."

I didn't expect I will get my own private room.

I wanted to get a private room for myself since my room in the orphanage is not exactly private.

Now that I would have my own private room in the dorm, I don't have to worry about being independent.

"Good, You have until sunset to bring all your necessary properties to your room in the dorm.

Your room number will be 108. Here is your key.

Report on your duty starting tomorrow.

You are the greatest genius in our village, I have high hopes for you.

Now dismiss."

After I received my room key and I quickly went out to Orphanage to bring all my stuff to my room.

Matron, staffs, and kids in the orphanage were sad that I am leaving the orphanage but still congratulated me for becoming Genin and joining Explosion corps.

When I entered my own room in the explosion corps dormitory, I was wowed by how spacious the room was.

The room even had it's own bathroom. I legit felt like I was in a 4-star hotel.

-------------------------Next Day--------------------------

I was pretty excited since today is the first day as an explosion corps member.

I quickly searched for the 5th division section.

I saw a familiar kid who was also searching for the 5th division.

He has spiky, light-brown hair and prominent jaw-lines.

I asked the system who he was.

System: "Host, he is Gari, the same age as the host.

In naruto show, he was a famed Iwagakure shinobi and a member of the village's Explosion Corps and was reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi to fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces"

Ohh, Gari!!!! I remember now.

Okay, I didn't expect Gari would be in my generation. I thought he was from the Deidara generation.

Then why haven't I seen him in the academy?

System: "He accidentally blew his house and became coma state for a year.

Coincidentally, his parents are dead from the mission at the same time.

So he was hospitalized until days ago, instead of going to the orphanage.

He has awakened from a coma several days ago and recruited to explosion corps."

Ohh, it seems Gari is having a tough time now.

I approached him and said "Hey, are you also looking for 5th division? I am also looking for it. Why don't we search together."

He smiled at me and replied "Okay".

Along the way, we exchanged our names, age, and hobbies, etc. We got along pretty quickly.

We finally found the 5th division training ground and entered.

There were at most 30 kids in the training ground and I heard a husky voice behind us.

"Finally, you two showed up.

I am Ishika, captain of the 5th division of Explosion corps.

I will forgive you two for coming late since you didn't know the way. But next time you late, I will personally beat you up until you can't stand.

Here, I don't care about your background or title. You are all equal here.

Am I clear? "

Gari and I nodded to him.

But he suddenly disappeared and punched us.

"Answer me with your voice!!!!"

Gari and I stood up quickly and answered him

.

"YES, SIR!!!!"

"Welcome to the 5th division."

Captain Ishika smirked and introduced us to our new division crews.
