Moving Up

Rushing out the door as soon as class ended, Mizuki met up with Shisui and Obito before they all decided to head out to train.

Apparently, Shisui had a spot in the forest near the Uchiha Compound which he used as his training ground which he agreed to take us too, a spot which Mizuki knew would later be used by Itachi.

Ten minutes later, the group of three appeared at a seemingly random patch of forest.

That is, except for the clear burn marks on the ground and strained kunai targets scattered about.

Immediately getting to work on their training, Shisui took the lead as he was the strongest of the group.

Shisui decided to first teach them about his signature technique, The Body Flicker.

After all, he had heard that a better way to further learn a technique was to teach it after all.

He first demonstrated the hand seals which the jutsu required and talked about how to focus the chakra when using the technique.

A wise man once said that some people work best under pressure.

And it appears that Shisui heavily agreed to this philosophy because as soon as he finished lecturing the boys about the body flicker, his hands started to move at a rapid pace.

Shisui: "Katon: Phoenix Flower Jutsu"

Instantly, several fireballs shot out of Shisui's mouth. Each strategically placed, ensuring that they would not be able to escape by any normal means.

Realizing that it was their only hope; the boys quickly weaved the correct hand signs and tried to body flicker out of the way . . . and failed.

After the fireballs hit them, it became clear that whilst Shisui did use his chakra to make sure that they wouldn't die if they got hit, it still hurt like hell, with the fireballs not only scorching them, but also causing them to fly back into the trees.

Mizuki: "FUCK"

Obito: "SON OF A BITCH"

At that moment, the normally quiet and serene forest became a spot in which one could here tortured souls.

As the pain subsided, Mizuki heard a word he would later come to hate with his entire being.

Shisui: "Again."

So, for the next hour, Mizuki and Obito spent their time desperately trying to evade the Fireballs and use the Body Flicker.

Finally, forty five minutes later, Mizuki was able to fade out of the way of the attacks using the Body Flicker. After another five, Obito was able to do the same.

After another fifteen minutes later, they all ran out of chakra from practicing their ninjutsu constantly.

And yet, just when Obito and Mizuki thought they were off the hook, they heard a voice from hell itself.

Shisui: "Good Job! Now! Let's move on to Taijutsu!"

So, the boys spent the next hour getting beaten the shit out of by Shisui. Although, by the end they both had remarkably improved compared to when they started.

. . . . . 4 Days Later . . . . .

After going over things with Shisui, they both agreed that it would be for the best if they were to get themselves into the class that was a year above theirs.

Beyond the obvious fact that they already knew everything that they were going to be taught in the class, and it was a waste of their time, It also gave them the opportunity to hang out with Obito more often, which was also a plus.

Although he wouldn't confirm his suspicion when he asked him, Mizuki also suspected that Shisui wanted to move up so that he would have the chance to spar Kakashi.

Who was considered to be an absolute genius by all standards, and rumors about the boy's graduation only motivated him further.

Deciding to ask their teacher about how they could go about doing it, the boys were surprised to learn that all they needed to do to move up to the next class level is to complete a written test and also showcase some kind of taijutsu, ninjutsu or genjutsu.

They were both able to pass the test with noticeably little effort and a mere substitution technique allowed them to move up to the next class.

In order to pass the academy, the written test itself is noticeably more challenging and the jutsu that they use has to be able to be performed more quickly than what Mizuki did, although he was confident he would be able to arrive at such a level in a month, If not two.

After four days of Shisui's training regiment, Mizuki and Obito received a major upgrade, and a new fear and respect for Shisui.

Whilst they certainly were not experts, they could still all adequately use the Substitution Jutsu, Body Flicker Technique and Clone Jutsu.

They could also handle basic Taijutsu although it was still slightly below Genin level.

Apparently, Rin had been out with the Flu for the last two days of the school week and the entire weekend, making Obito feel concerned.

A concern for which he was teased for by his friends for the last few days.

Monday rolled around after what felt like the most torturous weekend of Mizuki's life.

Groaning as he got into class, Mizuki noticed that he took his seat a mere five seconds before the bell rung.

In first period, the duo were both briefly introduced to their new class.

Stepping inside, Mizuki realized how convenient everything was. A solid ninety percent of all of the important jonin in the show happen to come from this class.

To think, that virtually the entire high command of a village's military and two of the most powerful shinobi all come from the same year at the academy.

What a class.

As the class had already picked their seats at the beginning of the year, Mizuki unfortunately sit next to Shisui.

Sitting down at his eat, Mizuki noticed his desk was also in the front row, preventing him from doing his own thing as he wished.

Mizuki: {Damnit, Couldn't get the protagonist seat. I Thought I had a guaranteed spot at the back window of the class.}

As he pondered these subjects, he also noticed that he only had one person next to him due to being at the edge of the classroom, although who it would be was a mystery to him.

"Wonder who it's gonna be" Mizuki muttered to himself as he glanced out the window.

Looking around the class, everything looked like a shot straight out of the anime. Obito was rapidly glancing back at Rin, who appeared to have gotten over her Flu.

Seeing her made Mizuki remember something, how Rin ended up liking Kakashi rather than Obito, creating that dumbass messy love triangle.

Hopefully Obito would be able to pull through in this timeline.

After all, the Kakashi and Guy ship is the only ship that Kakashi should be in.

Oh, and that he wanted to help out his bro as well. Yup. Totally.

That was why he was here after all.

To Fuck with the timeline and have fun.

Just as Mizuki was thinking about how boring classes would be, his deskmate finally came over.

Teacher: "Anko, Why are you late?"

The teacher asked with a stern gaze

The girl clearly didn't particularly care as she talked about how she slept in as she made it to her desk.

Noticing that she had a new deskmate, she visibly lost some of her tiredness as she started to talk with him.

Anko: "So you're the new classmate huh? Nice to meet you, I'm Anko!"

Mizuki: "Nice to meet you to, Im Mizuki"

As they introduced themselves, they both gave each other mischievous smiles.

He took back what he said. Mizuki started to have the feeling that this class would be a lot less boring than he thought.
