Chapter 1-3 (exceptional)

I, like most humans didn't think about how I would die, I mean I knew I would die someday, but I certainly didn't think it'd be truck-kun cutting my life short at 20 years of age. Before truck-kun had struck me down, I had just finished my stint in college, studying to be an electrical engineer.

My life was going well, I was on my way to getting a job, making some cash, maybe finding that special someone and settling down. But before my life even started it ended. It was tragic or at least id like to think so. As I was laying on the street, conscious fading, I looked around only to see no help in sight, truck-kun slowly mockingly driving away, my world starting to get dark, I was upset but accepted that there would be no tomorrow for me, I wouldn't see my brothers, my dog, my mother. All the things I loved gone, out of my reach.

'I haven't seen my father in like a month… I wish I had spent more time with him' was my last thought as my world faded to black.

But then I was reborn, my world didn't end as I expected it to. One moment I took my last breath and the next I awoke with a cold intake of air and blurry vision I could hear what sounded like footsteps and the chatter of a crowd. I spent time fading in and out of conscious, trying and failing to discover where I had been reborn, I was an above-average student, nothing of note there's plenty of those. I lived in the city so I took the bus to and from college I had 3 brothers, parents that separated, nothing special in 2020. So why was I reincarnated? It wasn't something I wished for or disserved but it's the hand I've been dealt none the less.

Time passed and my vision improved and sounds became more audible, and with my improved senses I discovered where id been re-born, looking at my mothers blank white eyes, the constant mumbled "Hyuga-sama" from what must have been branch members as my mother passed them, I'm most likely a Hyuga.

'Hopefully not a branch member, ugh this sucks but at least I'm still a man... well boy. ' were my last thoughts as I drifted off to sleep.

My first birthday came with lots of revelations, one I wasn't a branch member, I'm the grandson of a recently deceased elder, my mother being his only daughter kept her from being sealed and will hopefully keep me from being sealed as well.

Two I likely wasn't a full Hyuga, I was half Kaguya, from what I could hear from the gossiping branch members my mother was captured by some hidden mist ninja when she was on a mission with her genin team, she returned wounded as the only survivor after two weeks of "Torcher and integration". From what I could hear my white hair was quite the hot topic among the Hyuga many speculating that more than interrogation happened when she was captured, but from what I can tell mom has kept mum so far and claimed that my father was a Konoha-nin, so it remains speculation so far.

Three I found out my name Shiro Hyuga, as sad as that sounds, my interaction with my mother was minimal, she rarely came to see me and when she did she just stared at me, neither picking me up nor changing me when my diapers were soiled leavening that job to the branch members who also didn't talk around me leavening me starved for attention and lacking in vocabulary.

My birthday was a quiet affair as most Hyuga birthdays are, my mother holding me for the first time in months and carrying me around showing me to the elders and the clan head, none of who I recognize as Hyuga members from Narutos time likely putting me somewhere between the first and third shinobi war. While being carried around my thoughts wandered, I thought about the future what I could achieve what I could do and what I should do.

Time passed as time does, I turned 2, I started blabbering as much as possible to every available source probably annoying the branch members taking care of me, I developed motor skills and started to run around I also started playing with my chakra and trying to unlock either of my bloodlines hoping to get an advantage early on, I experimented with pushing chakra to my eyes, bones and generally just circulating it around my body trying to train my control with little success.

More time passed and I became 3 and I was almost certain I didn't have the Shikotsumyaku I spent a huge amount of time sending chakra to my bones and was met with no success, but I did have a healing factor, I fell and broke my arm while wall climbing in my room and within minutes my arm was fully healed, when the branch members came and examined my arm they didn't find a problem even though I heard a snap. I was dismissed as a child overreacting and the incident was over with.

Id had minor success with the byakugan I was able to activate it but was unable to see more than 5 meters around my self, as it was it limited my vision more then it helped, but it did allow me to see my chakra network from the neck down and had been a great help in making me conscious of my chakra and subsequently controlling it. I was enjoying my time, playing with chakra, planning, and plotting, thinking of ways to be successful in the naruto-verse

Yet more time passed the months went by quickly and I became 4 and started officially training, doing light exorcize, katas, and chakra control with the other Hyuga children. I stood out like a sore thumb, a mop of straight white hair among a crowd of black, most of the children avoided talking to me, which was fine but disheartening none the less. This might be a prelude to my future in the Hyuga clan, so far nothing has endeared me to them and I don't think anything will.

I spent about 3 weeks training and I was soon called a prodigy, my taijutsu was nothing special yet, but my physical strength, stamina and ability to control my chakra was noticed very quickly and put me well above the other Hyuga kids training with me. I outclassed them all in all areas during the lesson so it was decided I was to be separated from the rest of the children and given a personal instructor from the branch family to take over my training from then on.

Nothing much seemed to change in my life after that, I got faint praise from my mother a "Good work you're doing the clan proud" and a pat on my head after she watched my training and that was it, she remained distant and uninterested in my life, but that was fine I already had a mother and I didn't blame her for disliking her **** baby.

Even more, time passed, I trained all day with my new teacher tokuma until I was unable to move, then was promptly patched up by my healing factor during a break, in which tokuma would go over tenketsu positions, organ placement and where to strike to inflict the most damage with our taijutsu afterward I was told to train more, so I did exactly that not wasting any time, though I repeatedly asked to be taught medical Jutsu but was shot down, again and again, finally I was told I needed better control but when I proved my self by passing tokumas control test (water walking), I was told upfront that it was unbecoming for main branch members to learn useless skills like medical ninjutsu… ugh.

I continued my pursuit(begging) of learning medical ninjutsu I constantly badgered my teacher about how I wanted to use medical ninjutsu to heal my self and train more and be able to train more and get stronger and do the Hyuga clan proud but was met with zero success, so I gave up for the time being promising to come back to medical Jutsu, trusting my healing factor to get me through until I start the academy.

Days passed I continued my training using the evening to experiment on my own with my byakugan following the path my chakra took through my brain and through my eyes increasing the flow in tiny increments in different parts of my brain and eyes being extremely careful and desperately praying to any deities above hoping to avoid injury.

I was met with success when I realized I could change the scope of my vision changing the almost 360-degree vision to the normal 170-degrees, using the narrow field of vision I could see much farther and could still see chakra and through walls. Overjoyed with my success I continued to experiment with my byakugan and brain soon discovering that I could slow my perception which was a huge win in my books its almost like I got a discount Sharingan, I couldn't stop smiling for days.

I continued experimenting hoping to find some way to improve my memory by further my brain enhancements with chakra, but my luck had run out, I got c.o.c.ky and tried going off the already automatic chakra paths that the byakugan used and started to try enhancing different areas of my brain, that stunt landed me a week in the hospital and a stroke, as a result, I had to weave a story about trying and succeeding in awakening my byakugan but getting distracted and pushing too much chakra into my eyes, the story was tentatively bought by the doctors not earning much more than" hmmm" from my mother. Sadly, or perhaps not sadly my healing factor was noted.

My release from the hospital was uneventful, strict orders not to train without supervision and I was on my way only taking a second to note the number of faces on the Hokage monument.

My training resumed this time with much stricter with more physical workouts, spars and with medical ninjutsu and byakugan lessons in between, sadly this was cutting into my free time but it was welcome as I had no one to spend time with and decided that I probably should stop messing with my brain for the time being or at least until I was sure my healing factor or medical ninjutsu could reverse any damage id done to my self which would likely be far into the future.

Thus, I continued my harsh new daily training, I was experimenting with my perception and Byakgan when I had free time but not daring to venture into the unknown in my brain, training wasn't fun but it put me ahead of the rest of my age-mates and further cemented my prodigy status which I needed as I had plans and aspirations and for those to come to fruition I needed strength, I was practically given the best possible start for a second life, with both the Hyuga and Kaguya blood I had a chance of awakening the tenseigan and the Shikotsumyaku in the future, there was no need for body snatching, no Hashirama's cells, I had a lot of protentional at my fingertips and I intended to use every second I had and every resource provided to climb my way to the top and possibly to eternal life, I had plenty of ambition and plenty of potential, I hoped to use it to make the most of my new life in the Naruto-verse.

Chapter 2

I recently turned five, I spent most of the year having the gentle fist burnt into my body and mind, muscles torn, then healed and refined by my healing factor, this gave me extremely good strength and stamina for my age.

Just recently tokuma moved on to the eight trigrams declaring my gentle fist "passible", after months and months of work.

The eight trigrams are not just one technique there are more than 10 eight trigram moves, Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven, Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms, Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms, and so on so forth, the 'Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven' being the one Neji was called a genius for using was sadly not available to me, tokuma explained that it was only for the clan head and heir to learn and not taught every main clan member.

I decided that as cool as creating a giant dome of chakra was it was probity draining and better in the first place to not be hit so I decided to put it out of my mind and focus on the rest of the eight trigrams and come back to it later

"The eight trigrams use the Hyugas innate ability to expel chakra from every tenketsu in their body" Bla Bla Bla, Tokuma never seemed to tire of his voice, sometimes explaining things like I was retarded or something, seriously Tokuma could blabber on all day, I sometimes thought about asking for a new teacher but Tokma was the best taijutsu expert the Hyuga had not counting the clan head, so I put it out of my mind and mentally prepared myself for years of mind-numbing teaching done by the stoic yet talkative Tokuma.

My time spent being taught by Tokuma was cut short and replaced with standard, math, reading, and calligraphy, a royal pain but nowhere near as bad as the clans' propaganda filled history lessons, thankfully I'm not being tested on history so I've managed to make up for some lost time by practicing with my chakra as well as trying to find other ways to make up for lost time.

What I came up with was asking for weights or weighted seals if they existed, my Idea of weighted seals was approved… then immediately vetoed by my mother of all people who unbeknownst to us was quietly watching my training that day.

She said a soft but firm "No!.. you'll stunt his growth" and then left walking off slowly, a visibly nervous Tokuma let out a sigh of relief, and I blew an annoyed breath out of my nose wondering what her deal was, did she care ?, I decided that it was not worth the thought and dropped it.

Days passed and I continued to study and train making great progress in my taijutsu, but mediocre progress in my reading, writing, and calligraphy, it was slow going but I trudged forward and slowly made progress and soon it was decided that I could go to the academy and 'not embarrass the Hyuga clan' as my mother had put it, and so off I went to the academy… ok, so two months after I would 'not embarrass the Hyuga clan' I was sent to the academy joining this years batch of cannon fodder.

The Academy is quite large and is comprised of several buildings, the building had that iconic tree in front of it with a swing on it and a giant sign with the kanji for "fire" (火) on the top center tower of the building. I left my mother with a quiet "Goodbye" and left towards the interior of the school.

Something I didn't know myself was that the academy and the Hokage's office were in the same building perhaps to protect future generations.

The Classrooms in the Academy are unnecessarily large and have high ceilings, 'perhaps so the chunin don't feel trapped and have a good ol PTSD episode and murder **** a group of children' I choked back a chuckle at the thought as I meandered my way to the far corner of the room happy that I could claim the protagonist seat by the window.

I had hoped for a grand entrance ceremony with the Hokage giving his fabled speech about the will of fire, but my hopes were unmet, there was only a grumpy looking genin taking names and telling you what classroom you were in. I took my seat ignoring the room of squealing 5-year old's and looked out the window and drifted into idle thought, recently my mother handed me a book and told me to read it, being the good son I am I started reading the book that night.

The book was about a nin that was protecting a rich merchant family in Kusagakure, anyway, the nin and the family were hiding in a hidden room in their manor trying to stay undiscovered by rival ninja sent to kill the family, but the family had a baby and the baby was crying and making noise, doing what babies do, and so the story goes the nin made a hard decision and snapped the babies neck, sadly that's not the worst part, the worst part is that they were still found regardless, the book was a bummer but I get the idea, sometimes you have to make a decision that will break you and even then it will perhaps be meaningless in the end. Not a lesson a five-year-old should get but I apricate It none the less.

In front of the blackboard is a podium, situated far from the students' desks and put in a position where the teacher can view everyone at, standing at the podium is one average and forgettable ninja staring quietly and waiting for the class to notice him, I mean-while took my time to look at my classmates, there were quite a few familiar faces Kakashi, Obito, Rin, Asuma, and a very ugly young Might Gai who was quite loudly shouting about youth.

'I figured Kakashi was way younger than Obito and Rin, I guess Kakashi was on team Minato by himself for a while?'

"Ok brats quiet down"

'for that matter why am I the same age as the trio, that's suspiciously well-timed' no doubt the work of whatever reincarnated me here.

Other then that nothing of note happened.

The days trickled on by, my training continued as did the academy classes.

So far I've got the gentle fist, and some variations of the eight trigrams under my belt, I've also learned the Mystical Palm Technique and the Diagnostic Technique, but other then that the jutsu I can call on during a battle is limited as I focused mainly on taijutsu, I decided that I should spend some time learning ranged attacks.

I felt unsure about how useful kunai and shuriken would be for anyone other then genin, so I put them further off leaving it to the academy to teach me and I haven't done any nature transformation so that was out too, I instead decided to focus on the vacuum palm, it didn't seem to do any real damage it just sort of pushed enemies over from what I could tell, it wasn't much but it was heavily connected to the eight trigrams being called 'eight trigrams-vacuum palm so I figured id give it a go and see what comes of it.

I had a vague of idea of using the shadow clone jutsu as well but until recently I didn't have a reason to know it, weirdly it seems that just about everyone knows it, if my teacher can use a shadow clone to watch the class while he takes a dump then perhaps it's not so hush-hush after all, so reason secured I proceeded to ask the closest a.d.u.l.t about it when I got home, which happened to be my mother.

"The shadow clone jutsu allows the user to create one or more copies of themselves. The user's chakra is evenly divided between themselves and their clones. Depending on how much chakra the user has and how many clones they make. Because of this, usually, only those of at least jōnin-level can safely use the standard Shadow Clone Technique"

'Wow that's probably the most she's said to me at one time'

"Can you teach me it or have Tokuma teach me it?"

She shifted forward a bit and narrowed her now active Bakugan at me.

"hmm you have enough chakra… I'll show you, watch closely, Tiger!, Serpent!, Ram!" *poof*

"Ok thanks, Oka-sama"

I deactivated my own eyes spun on my heel and left trying to escape as fast as possible, I sat on my bed feeling weird about that whole conversation, she's never said more then a couple of words a month to me, that really threw me off… sigh ill think about it later, with that out of the way I proceed to write down the hand signs and ponder my next steps and how I would find time to practice the shadow clone jutsu in my already packed schedule.

Learning the shadow clone jutsu wasn't hard as I soon found out, I figured it'd take me 2+ months to learn but that wasn't the case it only took me a week, It would have been shorter but I had exhausted my chakra for the first time and ended up laying in bed for 3 days.

Though I had quickly learned the jutsu it wasn't quite what I hoped it would be, my clones cant slow their perception and when me and/or a clone are performing tasks that require concentration, I'm unable to have more than a few shadow clones active at a time although I had enough chakra to have 5 or so active it felt like my brainpower was being split 5 or so ways, and so 2 clones seemed to be my limit, still, id take what I could get I had hoped to swarm any future battlefields with hundreds of fast ass-kicking white-haired Hyugas, but it twas not to be.

Although I could only use 2 clones that still left two bodies to pursue other stuff while I trained my physical body, I figured id ought to get started right away and sent one of the clones to harass Tokma into teaching me the vacuum palm and another to go get scrolls for the academy three and learn them.

I spent some time trying to get along with my classmates with little success most kids were too immature not that I expected any differently, Kakashi took my attempt at a friendly spar too seriously and throat punched me, and I in a moment of vengeful wrath threw him into the air and kicked him into the ground, safe to say id given up on young Kakashi.

I and Gai, on the other hand, became fast friends, we spent a lot of time talking about taijutsu, training and sparing, my new favorite pastime was joining Gai and Duy(Guys Father) for some after school training, well the training was always silly and ridiculous though it was working and somewhat fun so I had no complaints.

More time passed it was about the first quarter of the year and we just started sparing, most of the year so far was spent on ordinary school subjects such as history and mathematics, we were taught the basics of ninjutsu(the academy three), taijutsu, and a little bit genjutsu, we also spent a good amount of time learning "survival" outside, survival was probably the most interesting for me, it was pretty much basic bushcraft, fire starting and covering your tracks, all the stuff I had no clue about and probably wouldn't have learned had it not been mandatory.

Sparing was fun for the first few days, I fought…. Well I poked my way through the other students using the gentle fist, then the instructor started pairing me with Kakashi, and Kakashi was a little shit, he throat punched me again!

Kakashi being an ass aside, he was a challenging opponent, forcing me to constantly use my bullet time and slow my perception, because of how fast he could change his tactics, I had to fight in constant slow motion and constantly watch and make sure he wasn't setting some kind of trap, he got me quite a few times, forcing me out of the arena when I was too focused on fighting him, kicking dirt into my eyes and taking my feet from out under me thus ending the fight.

Overall my academy life was going great I made good improvements, made a friend and rival, learned the shadow clone jutsu things were shaping up, sadly it wouldn't last, I knew the third shinobi war was most likely going to happen within the next year and I didn't feel ready, I could probably beat a standard genin or run from a chunin but I don't think id last against a jonin, and that worried me I had hoped to make more progress then this but it was unrealistic to have expected so, I was doing fine, at five years old I was about low genin level, I took a deep breath trying to stop my self from spiraling into a panic attack, worrying wouldn't help I should try to awaken my Kaguya bloodline again, this time using yang heavy chakra.

Chapter 3

It was near the middle of the school year, tensions were rising throughout the elemental nations and there were whispers of war on the horizon, I sat in my room curled up in my blankets and stewing in a particularly nasty fart.

I was getting increasingly nervous and was making no substantial progress in medical ninjutsu nor the Kaguya bloodline and was hesitant to dedicate more time to it, as it was I spent very little time learning medical jutsu, most of my time "Learning medical ninjutsu" was just memorizing bone, arteries, veins, and tendon placement.

I only had 3 actual medical jutsu to my name, any more then that was beyond Tokma and thus id have to intern or apprentice at the hospital, and that was a no go, I didn't want to get shafted and permanently stuck in the hospital, I was also worried about what the clan elders could do when I no longer impressed them and furthered the Hyuga name.

I decided to go back to brain enhancements, although incredibly risky and without a doubt dangerous they were something I needed, I didn't want to waste time learning time-consuming things that I could later take a glance at and remember forever with me as of yet theoretical memory enhancement.

Corse of action decided I left my room in search of books on the brain or more specifically memory.

Id had little to no luck finding books so I sent my favorite teacher on a mission to find them, with that done I bumbled about trying to find something to do with my time.

I was sitting crossed legged Infront of a mirror I recently had the branch members put my room, and winking at myself and admiring my good looks, I was originally sending chakra to my eyes in small burst varying in both size and density and among different paths, trying to discover new things about the byakugan and maybe luckily awaken the tenseigan but alas I had no luck and got distracted and started admiring my exotic looks.

My mother, of course, walked in while I was doing so.

"Shiro, Tokma brought the books you asked for…."

'Well this is embarrassing'

We stared at each other

"Thanks, I was just admiring my good looks"

More silent eye contact

"The books are on the table"

'Would it have been less awkward if I made an excuse?'

Maybe honesty isn't always the answer.

I was sitting on my bed, a stack of brain-related books next to me, I was currently trying to summon up the mental strength to do a possible 8+ hour study session, sadly it was not working and I was once again staring at myself in the mirror.

I took the mirror off the wall and turned it around so I could no longer see my reflection, that done I proceeded back to my bed and cracked open the first book on the pile.

"Genjutsu And The Brain Made Easy"

'Probably not what I need but ill take a look'

'Are memories stored in just one part of the brain, or are they stored in many different parts of the brain? Inojin Yamanaka began exploring this problem, about 160 years ago, by making lesions in the brains of animals ….'

Finally getting somewhere after going through half of the books I was overjoyed, I continued reading

'Bla-Bla-Bla… Short-term memory occurs in the prefrontal cortex. It stores information for about one minute and its capacity is limited to about 7 items…'

'Now we're cooking'

'Long-term memory is processed in the hippocampus of the temporal lobe and is activated when you want to memorize something for a longer time. This memory has unlimited content and duration capacity.

Skill memory is processed in the cerebellum, which relays information to the basal ganglia. It stores motor skills, like using hand signs, throwing a kunai, and disemboweling your enemies.'

On the next page was a diagram detailing different parts of the brain

'Jackpot!'

I couldn't keep the grin off my face, this is what I needed, I spent the rest of the day flipping through the rest of the books in case I missed something.

That done I spent the next week with my hand on my head constantly using the diagnostic jutsu, parsing out the different parts of my brain according to the book, I also enrolled Gai to help in my brain enhancements, not that he was much help or that he knew he was helping.

"What do you need my help for my most youthful friend!?"

"I just need you to sit still so I can stare at your head with my byakugan"

"Yosh!, what are you trying to do my friend!"

"I'm finding ways to send more chakra to my eyes, since I can't see the tenketsu in my head I'm using yours, now stay still and quiet well I draw your tenketsu"

Half-truth

"Yosh! Shiro! Let your power of youth explode!"

Gai ended that sentence with a thumbs up and a sparkle in the corner of his eye, he was indeed as youthful as one might imagine.

Short-term memory, prefrontal cortex

Long-term memory, hippocampus

Skill memory, cerebellum

Id identified all the parts of my brain with the diagnostic jutsu and was ready to experiment.

Late at night I sat on the toilet book in lap, hoping that if I fall unconscious my mother will open the door and find me the next time, she has to use it.

I did one last check over deciding my pants should be around my ankles if I was found just sitting on the toilet it would be a tad bit odd.

With that done I took a hair sized string of chakra from the tenketsu at the very top of the head and guided it down to the prefrontal cortex and started cycling it then back to my tenketsu while thinking that I could afford to lose some short-term memory…

Nothing seemed to happen, I continued sending chakra through my brain and proceeded to read the book on my lap, again no noticeable success but no failure either, I figured no success would come from my half-assed attempt but continued nonetheless, I ran a second string of chakra to the hippocampus and repeated the process, I took a look at the book read a few sentences and looked away recalling them word for word vividly right away.

Success!

Overjoyed with my success I continued to flip through the book, slowing my perception, enhancing my short- and long-term memory, trying to see if I could memorize the whole book

It was working, I could recall everything id seen and read, a grin stretched across my face only to leave as quick as it came, I snapped the book closed and closed my eyes, a headache pounding behind my eyes, I felt extremely hungry and very tired.

I let out a sigh, a partial success, I put the book on the back of the toilet pulled up my pants and stumbled out of the bathroom, down the hall and into the kitchen planning to quietly have a mid-night snack.

After a day of rest missing school and training in the process I was back to experimenting late at night.

Sadly it seems, much like how shadow clones cant slow their perception they can't use the memory enhancement as well, even with its obvious downsides id still call it a success, though my headaches seem to have slowly decreased the more I used it I believed I wouldn't ever be able to permanently use it.

It didn't allow me to view memory's only creating very vivid new ones, the short term memory enchantment only seemed to work with the long term enhancement and vise versa, the Skill memory enhancement has yet to be tried, the book claimed that the cerebellum is responsible for learning and memorizing new motor skills like katas, I believed that the Sharingan move copy thing probably had something to do with this part of the brain as well, I had high hopes that I could run around copying moves like I had a Sharingan but like the long-term memory, enhancement didn't make pre-existing memories clearer the same most likely applied to the skill-memory part of the brain.

I spared a minute of thought on what I would name my memory enhancements but came up blank, I decided to end my night and perhaps come back the other memory enhancement later, maybe after id burned some medical texts into my brain.

A few weeks passed I was once again in my much too large classroom, in the protagonist's seat, burning a book about the respiratory system into my brain, no longer experiencing a headache for a couple of minutes of use.

I had made explosive progress in memorizing the medical books needed to use medical jutsu, compared to before when It took 6 months to memorize something that is now 3 weeks of memorization.

It was extremely impressive, some would call it extremely youthful.

Yes, I was very youthful indeed.

I spared a second to look at Gai, yes most youthful.

Id since added chakra scalpels to my medical jutsu repertoire, I've also started to practice something I call medical mode, which is just me circulating medical chakra around my body and speeding up my already impressive regeneration.

Improvement aside, I had very little experience using medical jutsu on humans, only animals, there pretty much the same thing, right?

Left.

I was sitting beside an extremely excited Gai, we were doing Konhoa's equivalent of a midterm test today to decide who moves up a grade who goes down and who stays where they are.

I believe this is when Kakashi advances to the final grade to join team Minato.

I might advance as well, I've got some impressive taijutsu, average ninjutsu, impressive medical jutsu, but very mediocre written grades, as I never really paid attention and sometimes stopped halfway through assignments handing them in half blank when I got bored.

The written test was alright, if an answer took too long to write id half-ass it, I couldn't be bothered to explain my reasoning mainly due to general laziness.

I decided that id leave my advancement somewhat up to fate, and not try my hardest on the written test.

The tests were soon collected and the next part of the test started, we went through some physical exorcize, the teacher marking when a student dropped out, that finished we were lead back to the classroom, most of the class sweaty and miserable looking, Kakashi, Gai, and I standing out looking rather unruffled.

The final test started, slowly person after person left the room some returning some not, and midway through it was my turn, I was brought in to a cleared classroom and made to stand in Infront of a group of 3 teachers.

They made me go through the academy katas, then the academy 3, and told me to go to room 2A which I guess meant I passed and had been moved up.

I walked down the hall and thought about Gai, though I was sad, to leave Gai behind I had to move on with my life and continue to gain strength.

I walked into my new classroom and stared at a class full of 10-year-old children most of them being from the clans.

I made eye-contact with Kakashi and the little ass snorted and looked away

I ignored whatever that was and looked towards my favorite seat, only to find it already taken by a brown-haired average joe.

I absentmindedly stared at the class and started thinking about ways to get average joe to give up my seat.

I was scared out of my thoughts by a loud.

"Line up Brats, its time for sparing!"

From directly behind me.

Note to self: perhaps don't stand in doorways.
