Timeskip -Academy
After a grueling morning with Gai, who insisted on making us do squats while humming the Hokage's theme song in a way that could only be described as an affront to music, I, Naruto, and Sasuke (whom we had to drag out of his somber training at the Uchiha compound) finally arrived at the academy. Our spirits were high, if you counted the collective groans and Naruto's constant mumbling about "demon frogs" in his head.
We were ushered into Room 201, where our eyes widened at the sight of our six-year syllabus. It looked like the blueprint for a ninja's never-ending nightmare:
**First Year:** Physical exercises masquerading as games—think dodgeball with real kunai, and "ninja tag" where you had to avoid getting tagged by a teacher dressed as a giant shuriken. The idea was to make us enjoy training and develop teamwork, and we had extra Saturday classes for orphans and the homeless, featuring basic arithmetic that we promptly forgot once the kunai were in play. We also learned topography and recent village history—mostly exciting stories like the Hashirama vs. Madara duel, which were way cooler than the dry historical facts we were supposed to memorize.
**Second Year:** The focus shifted to History 102, Strategy 101, and Tactics 101. Imagine learning strategy from a teacher who seemed to believe that throwing shuriken at your opponent's dinner plate was the height of tactical genius. We also got to practice throwing weapons and hand-to-hand combat. The highlight of the year was the "falling down gracefully" lesson, which mostly involved attempting to look dignified while sprawling face-first into the dirt.
**Third Year:** This year, we split our time between academics and physical training. Politics 101 was cleverly disguised as history, which meant we spent a lot of time learning why certain political figures were incredibly powerful (and how to avoid them at parties). We also tackled ninjutsu and genjutsu theory, though Naruto managed to confuse the two, resulting in a hilarious incident where he tried to use a genjutsu to make his lunch "disappear" only to end up with a plate of invisible ramen.
**Fourth Year:** This was the year of medical jutsu theory, where we learned how to bandage wounds and cast harmless E-rank jutsus. The highlight was learning how to recognize when you're stuck in a genjutsu—pro tip: if your sensei starts turning into a giant cherry blossom, you might be under an illusion. Survival training included pretending to be lost in the woods, though we were always just a few feet away from the academy's entrance.
**Fifth Year:** We hit the theoretical jackpot—90% of our time was spent in the library. Topics included politics, the Art of War, and image training (because ninjas need to look good in front of clients). Basic finance was a part of the curriculum, but honestly, most of us were just trying not to blow all our rations on extra ramen bowls. We also studied other nations' cultures—perfect for impressing guests at diplomatic dinners.
**Sixth Year:** Mostly review and reinforcement. We had a taste of sealing techniques, but only in demonstration. We went on a two-day forest excursion, which was less "survival" and more "try not to get lost while taking notes." Graduation required passing a written test, performing E-rank jutsu, and proving our strength, stamina, and agility. The better your grades, the more senior the jounin assigned to assess you.
In class, I took my seat between Naruto and Sasuke, acting as the human buffer zone to prevent their inevitable arguments. As other students filled in, Naruto excitedly pointed out Hinata, the girl he heroically saved from bullies. She shyly joined our group, and I prepared to navigate the complexities of her clan situation.
Classes began under the watchful eyes of Iruka and Mizuki. I found my INT and WIS stats rising just from surviving the lectures—though surviving Iruka's bad puns was an additional challenge. After school, we headed to the Uchiha compound for genjutsu lessons with Itachi. Sasuke and Naruto sparred with each other, sometimes joined by the rest of the rookie 9.
**Fast Forward to Fifth Year:**
By now, I had explored nearly every place in Konoha, earning rewards and perks:
- **Academy:** 20 kunai, 20 shuriken, 10,000 Ryo, and 1000 EXP
- **Main Gate:** Sealing Scrolls * 50, Food pills *10, and 1000 EXP

I completed the Plant subdomain on hard mode, earning plenty of recovery potions. Thanks to the Haruno network, I distributed these potions, which included curing Itachi's lung disorder and boosting our relations with the Uchiha clan.
Training with Guy-sensei continued, with Rock Lee joining our weight training sessions. The one class I loathed was Kunoichi training. It focused on infiltration and seduction, and Akira-sensei ominously mentioned a practical exam. I shuddered at the thought of an exam that could potentially involve anything from awkward flirting to pretending to be a helpless damsel.
Naruto's struggles with clone jutsu persisted. I decided not to intervene and let him figure it out—though I couldn't help but chuckle every time he ended up face-first in the dirt. Hinata had officially joined our group, and Saturdays meant study sessions and sleepovers at the Hyuuga compound. Occasionally, we bumped into Neji, who was still perfecting his brooding stare and muttering about fate.
