Chapter 4: Chapter 004: Academy life
Konoha Year 38.
With the first semester of the Academy coming to an end, Asahi was full of expectations in face of the upcoming final exam.
Asahi had made great progress in his academic learning career of nearly half a year.
Compared to his ignorance six months ago, Asahi could now use the three basic jutsu skillfully. And his shuriken and kunai throwing were also among the best in the class. In taijutsu, Asahi also worked very hard. Every taijutsu confrontation course ended with Asahi knocking down his opponent.
Throughout the first grade, with the exception of Kakashi, who he hasn't got a match against yet, in terms of taijutsu, no one was Asahi's opponent, not even the original taijutsu master in the anime, Might Guy.
Guy was still that kind of thick brows and hardworking guy. But current Guy was still the current year's lowest ranking. Only Asahi knew of this person's future achievements.
And this semester exam would be the second match between Asahi and Kakashi. (First being the run during the entrance exam)
According to the anime, Kakashi should apply for early graduation next year, which meant that Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo would die most probably next year.
According to the information inquired by Asahi, although the Second Great Ninja War had ended, the tension between the Great Ninja Villages in the shinobi world was constantly increasing, and funerals were being held almost every day before tombstones.
According to Asahi, the Second Great Ninja War simply had no winners. This war only served to deepen the hatred between the villages and makes them even more hostile.
From the perspective of the original history, after the Second Great Ninja War ended for only one or two years, the Third Great Ninja War would officially began.
…
After school, Asahi went home alone.
Although it has been six months since the start of school, Asahi had made no friends. At first Asahi originally planned to meet as many characters from the anime as possible, but when things came it, he couldn't make friends with these 5 year old little kids.
Asahi was not preparing to train that night, and just planned to adjust his body to be ready for next day's exam.
"Hey! Might Duy! Are you and your son still training?"
As he was walking, Asahi suddenly heard a laugh from an alley.
"The Eternal Genin really works hard! Ahahahahaha!"
Two chunin laughed at Might Duy and Guy, the father and son unscrupulously, as if they saw something funny.
Asahi stopped and hid under the shade of a wall, quietly looking at that scene.
"Oh! Thank you for your support!" Duy gave a thumbs up to those two chunin, not at all caring about their mockery.
One had to admit that Duy's temperament was tenacious. Although he didn't have any talent in ninjutsu, he learned the forbidden jutsu "Eight Inner Gates" with a superman's perseverance, and even the Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen could die and flee in embarrassment in face of Might Duy.
For the scene in front of him, Asahi had seen it in manga, but when seeing Duy's reaction first-hand, Asahi still felt quite shocked.
He believed that whoever gets insulted in front of his son will probably fly into a rage out of humiliation. But Duy could see these as encouragement from others, insist on his ninja way, and go on unwaveringly.
This kind of mentality might seem simple, but it's extremely difficult to do.
Asahi asked himself, what if he was in a different place and gets insulted like this, even if he knows he couldn't beat the other side.
'I'm afraid I can't help it.'
The real expert was not just someone with a strong strength. Without the strong mentality matching with one's strong strength, I'm afraid that it would be very difficult to achieve the highest realm.
While Asahi was thinking, the two chunin had left, but Asahi found that Guy was quietly followed them.
*Shou*
"Ugh! It hurts!"
A stone hit the back of one of the chunin, and Guy glared at them with red eyes.
"It's Might Duy's son!"
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Don't make fun of my father again!" Guy growled.
"This little bastard is brave!" Said the chunin with a smile plastered on his face.
With the two chunin's ridicule-filled looks at Guy, they walked slowly forward.
*Shou*
*Shou*
Seeing that Guy was going to be beaten, two shuriken from the corner of the alley shot at the two chunin at a very fast speed.
The two chunin leaped backwards, avoiding shuriken's sneak attack, but before they landed, two more shuriken shot at the two of them.
The two chunin had no way to dodge anymore, so they could only take out kunais out of their ninja tool pouch, and use it for blocking the second shuriken.
"Who secretly attacked?!"
"Come out!"
"Two chunin bullying a child, the face Konoha's ninjas has been rubbed on the ground by you guys." Asahi stepped out of the shadows and stared at the two chunin coldly.
"Another little bastard, are kids now so arrogant?" One of the chunin said with a sneer.
"You? ... Asahi!" Guy looked at Asahi, and after a long moment of thought, he finally called Asahi's name.
"Annoying little bastard, go to hell!"
Since the two chunin were sneak attacked by Asahi, they suffered a small loss, so they felt humiliated. They furiously shouted, and rushed towards Asahi together.
Asahi jumped away from their attacks for several consecutive times, but the kick of the second chunin could not be evaded even if he wanted to.
"Got you! Huh…? Clone Jutsu?" The chunin who kicked off Asahi's clone was stunned, he had no idea when Asahi used ninjutsu.
"Annoying little brat!!"
The two chunin flew into rage out of humiliation, and when they found the silhouette of Asahi, they rushed up again.
"Morons."
Asahi sneered, then cut off a steel wire with his kunai.
*Shou*
*Shou*
*Shou*
Long before the encounter, Asahi had made a simple trap. Again the chunins were stunned and shocked. They simply didn't expect Asahi to lay a trap and wait for them.
As the steel wire was cut off, dozens of shuriken from all around attacked the chunins without any dead ends, and they couldn't possibly evade them. Although they were able to block part of the attack with their kunais at the moment, they were also wounded by several shuriken.
Asahi stood on the wall and looked down at them and coldly said, "If I had just used an explosive tag, you would already be dead. Get lost! Don't let me see you again! Since we are from the same village, I didn't do anything too threatening to your life. "
"You bastard!" The chunins glared at Asahi, seemingly anxious to break his body in several pieces.
However, if Asahi was allowed to use explosive tag, they were afraid that it would attract Uchiha guards, maybe even the Anbu in the village. The chunins were hesitant to take any more shots due of it.
'These two chunin are jealous and probably will not leave first.'
Thinking of this, Asahi shouted to Guy, "Guy! Let's go!"
