Chapter-12: Graduation and Test

(3rd POV)

It's been a roughly year since our protagonist awakened the RInnegan with 8 tomoes in both eyes.

He is currently 10 years old.

Today, like any other day, the Ninja academy was open and students were studying.

All of them were studying somehow but one of them wasn't.

It was our protagonist.

Why?

He felt bored.

(MC POV)

Haah...

This is really boring.

This class isn't teaching us anything new.

They're like 'If YoU MaStEr ThIs EnOuGh ThEn U a NiNjA'.

F*ck you.

Repeating things mindlessly isn't going to help.

That was why I hated the previous school in my life. Even after learning and memorizing, they just focus on revising. Learning about 1st Hokage's life isn't going to help people with ninjas who they are going to fight.

I will just graduate.

But what about Sasuke?

Hmm...

F*ck him who cares. I will probably ask him 'politely' to not graduate just yet. Yeah that sounds right.

"Iruka-sensei!" I said with a bright smile.

Everyone was a little surprised as in class, I was equivalent of a hibernating bear.

An All-knowing Hibernating bear.

So I never spoke much and no one cared as I was the topper.

I spoke lot to my friends in the class during break time though.

"I will apply for early graduation. Please tell me what to do." I said and dropped a bomb casually.

"Why? Why would you want to graduate early? any specific reason for that?" He inquired.

"Goals." I said.

"Very well. But any reason you are rushing?" He asked with a tick mark on his head.

"Hopes and dreams." I said.

"Haah...I will prepare for it after this class is over come into my office." He said while sighing.

These words have been my answer for any personal question.

I'm too lazy to explain this at all.

I would say 'My goals are beyond your understanding' like a meme lord but I was too lazy to say 6 words. So I cut them to 3 only.

"Oi Kazuya why are rushing to graduate??" Sir Naruto "The Orange Goofball" Uzumaki asked me.

"I will become the Hokage, Naruto. I will be the next Hokage. You gotta wait in line after me. Muhahaahahahahaha." I decided to tease him.

"NOOO! MY HOKAGE MANTLE! I WILL BECOME A HOKAGE I TELL YOU! EVEN IF IT'S AFTER YOU! I WILL STILL BE THE HOKAGE! BELIEVE IT!" he screamed.

"Hahahhhahahhahaha." I laughed.

"Kazuya-kun will you really become the Hokage?" Hinata asked me.

"Who knows?" I gave her a mysterious smile.

It is fun to watch her getting inquisitive.

She becomes like a rabbit with question mark on her head.

I will give her a rabbit hairband on her next birthday.

I NEED Usagi Hinata-chan.

"Are you really graduating? If you are then I will graduate along with you." said Sasuke.

"Nah. You will train more and graduate later. I'm doing it because of a few reasons related to our business." I said.

"No I will graduate with you. I need revenge." He said adamantly.

"You gotta beat either me and the early graduation test or you just wait." I said in a threatening tone.

"Y-You know I will just be right over here. Early graduation isn't so a-attractive." He said with a lot of sweat on his face.

Poor brother of mine.

In my defense it was to train him enough so he doesn't randomly die to a mob side character.

Others had many questions that I answered. I felt I need to talk to them before graduating.

After the class was over, I rushed to Iruka-sensei's office.

"Here is the application for early graduation. Just visit the principal or Hokage-sama and you can graduate." He said.

"Thanks Iruka-sensei." I said as I Body flickered to Hokage's office.

He was saying something but I ignored him because I wanna graduate early.

I arrived in the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen wasn't surprised to see me. If someone sneaks in Hokage's office, then the person is definitely surrounded by ANBU and is arrested for the offence.

But not me.

I always entered through window to surprise him. It's funny to see his reactions. But alas, he doesn't react now.

Whenever he asked me why did I do that then I would respond with 'Window there, Ninjas enter.'

"How can I help you today, Kazuya-kun?" he asked as he was tired of my antics and now ignored it.

"I wanna graduate early." I said.

"!!"

"Why though?" He inquired in a curious tone.

"Goals." I said as I deadpanned.

"Haah...Please at least tell me about it?" He asked while sighing.

"Hopes an-" I said as he cut me off.

"OKAY! I get it you don't want to tell me. I will assign you an exam and allow you to decide the timing. I'm too old for this sh*t." He said as he grumbled.

"By the way, new type of tobacco have come in the market. You may want to check them out. They are way more potent but don't affect the health too much, according to the description." I said as I casually advertised for free money.

He is addicted to smoking and he earns me a lot of money.

"Finally some good news! Anyway did you decide the timing or will you decide later?" he asked me.

"I will give the test today. I practiced more than enough for this day." I said.

"Very well." he stood up while looking really serious.

"Follow me." he said.

Judging from the tone, he too was prepared for it. Did I mess up somehow? I need to be extremely careful now as I may be on thin ice.

I was really alerted suddenly.

We walked for a few minutes with pin-drop silence.

We arrived to training ground three.

"Stop right here. Stay in your position right here." Hiruzen said.

I was going crazy from him acting mysterious.

"I know your goal is to become the Hokage, having such bright will of fire is amazing. I never thought that I would live to see Lord 1st's dream of an Uchiha Hokage come true. So come at me. I shall polish you, one of the brightest gems in history of Konoha." he said as he removed his standard Hokage uniform to reveal a battle suit inside.

'HEH?'

'WHEN DID I WANNA BECOME A HOKAGE' I thought.

I brainstormed to find any reason for this.

I realized why he thought so.

I've been helping Konoha a lot through my business.

The villagers view me as a savior who assisted them when they were at their lowest. I helped Konoha's force by getting better quality tools at same price.

'Well that all was part of my master plan. Yep. I totally thought this through and it was all under my calculation humu~' I thought as I nodded as I casually lied to myself.

(A/N: So F*cking Shameless.)

I took a Stance.

The battle was about to start now.

I activated my 3-tomoe Sharingan and rushed to him.

His eyes widened but he quickly composed himself.

I started with shadow clone jutsu. I created a few clones of myself and tried to distract him.

I made 3 hand seals.

Boar → Horse → Tiger.

and took a deep breathe and held it in while still molding chakra.

The clones were blasted away but they were just a distraction. I threw a few shuriken and Kunai from seals on my wrist at him and prepared for a leaf hurricane. This a standard Konoha taijutsu move that I copied from Might guy secretly.

As my Leaf Hurricane connected, he grabbed my feet and launched to the other direction.

I changed my trajectory and while I was upside down, I released the jutsu I've been holding in for these few seconds.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

He quickly avoided the fireball and body flickered to me from another direction to defeat me in one go.

I substituted myself with a log.

I made more hand seals.

Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox

"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"

He made some hand seals too.

Tiger → Hare → Boar → Ram → Dog → Ox → Snake

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

He blocked my fireball with a earthen wall.

I made a some more seals.

Snake → Dragon → Rabbit → Tiger

And started molding a lot of chakra inside me. This will probably take a lot of time.

He came out of from the other side.

He threw a few shuriken and kunai at me.

I countered them with my own Shuriken and Kunai.

We engaged in a Taijutsu battle.

I could see all his moves clearly but I still couldn't chip away his defense at all.

Sheer experience he accumulated as a ninja is astonishing. I am confident he is still holding back.

I put Genjutsu: Sharingan when I found a very tiny opportunity.

It wasn't the best Genjutsu attempt as I didn't activate my Mangekyo or Rinnegan.

He flinched a little but wasn't affected too much but that small moment is all I needed.

I released the jutsu that I've been preparing for over 5 minutes of the Taijutsu battle.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

An extremely large dragon fire came from my mouth and hit him at point blank range.

I knew this wasn't nearly enough.

As soon as I saw a burning log, I jumped back and did some more hand seals.

Boar → Horse → Tiger

I started molding a lot chakra.

I took out my Gunbai that I store in thigh's seal.

Yes a gunbai.

Currently I haven't mastered any nature transformation so it was there to assist me in fighting as well as ninjutsu.

Uchihas had an extremely vast set of moves for sword as well as Gunbai.

But the Gunbai was discarded later on as it was seen as a famed weapon of Madara Uchiha by others. But the records and moves were kept.

I felt it was ridiculous. I will use Gunbai no matter what. It is the only thing that is available for learning along with sword and sword doesn't assist just as much in Fire style.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Whirlwind!"

I released a fire tornado in his direction. It was a A-rank jutsuwhich I could get my hands on. It was used a lot by people who had decent mastery over Gunbai and Fire style in warring states era.

I quickly created a normal clone and retreated to a nearby tree.

This will probably delay him a bit.

"That is enough Kazuya-kun. You Pass."

A Kunai was on my throat. I failed to defeat him but it is understandable. I am not as experienced as he is and he is called God of Shinobi for a reason. I could at least scratch his Shoulder without relying on my eyes too much. I need to grow in other aspects too. I can't just rely on my eyes only.

"That was splendid battle but you were a little reckless. You are good in all aspects and need to master a nature transformation and shape transformation. You also need a lot experience. You are a genin now but possess the strength of jonin or more if you can use your strength and intellect properly." he said with a smile.

He could discern so much in just single fight. Amazing. I will give him credits for that.

"I will be your sensei and groom you as a Hokage candidate. This is secret and mustn't be told to anyone. My last gift to this village as a Hokage will be my knowledge. I am getting too old and my students are not interested in the position at all... I hope you will consider this carefully Kazuya-kun." he said.

I was surprised to say the least. To think I would have so amazing image in his mind. I thought I will just be the economic boss of Konoha. Who would've thought this will happen. I considered the pros and cons carefully.

I can get close enough to him and may have an opportunity to have all his knowledge with human path when he seals Orochimaru's hands with Shiki Fuin.

"I accept Hokage- no Sarutobi-sensei." I said.

"It is good that you accepted this. You are a Konoha genin officially now. You must call me Hokage-sama in public but when I'm teaching you in private, you may call me Sarutobi-sensei." he said while smiling.

"Okay Sarutobi-sensei. But will I have a team?" I said as I was genuinely curious.

"No you won't have a team for a few years. You will do the missions alone to gather more experience. Team mates will be decided after 2 years or more. Until then, you will work alone." He said.

"Okay Sarutobi-sensei. When will you start teaching me?" I asked.

"I will be teaching you from tomorrow. You will do D-rank missions in the morning and I will teach you after the missions are completed." he said.

"Thank you for the opportunity Sarutobi-sensei. I will leave now. I need to manage some paperwork for the business. I will assemble a team for it and come for the training afterward." I said as I left.

'WHAT THE F*CK?! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?! SOMEONE ELSE DOES THE PAPERWORK AND I GET TO HANDLE ONLY THE APPROVAL PART! This is amazing!' Hiruzen thought as he got even more happy.

Nobody likes lengthy paperwork after all.

'Hehehehe! I got Hokage as a sensei! This is f*cking amazing. I will be next Hokage if I play my cards right.' I thought inwardly as I skip walked.

I am really happy today.

Maybe I will take Hinata on a Date?

(A/N: Did ya like it?

A lot of people said no to super dark stuff :[

I will continue the story as it is going on.

He will become a future Hokage candidate to council. Prepare for trouble.

I will keep calling his final eye form as Rinnegan because it is too confusing to say rinne sharingan for readers. Series didn't focus much on the details after all.

Any questions? Ask them here.

Thanks for reading!)
