After a full Day of Training , Iruka Sensei notes down the scores and perfornces of students , and goes back to class with all the students .
Iruka didn't perform Taijutsu sparring on the first day of the class .
The Teacher and the Class itself remains silent Throughout . Whether it is other students or the clan heirs , everyone goes back silently and rembers the cause for this , who should be walking from the very back .
Inuzuka Kiba , Abura Shino , Nara Shikamaru , Akimichi Choji who lost his appetite. And The Uchiha Sasuke who dugs his nails in his palms and walks silently.
On the girls side , amongst the fangirls , Haruno Sakura who is still feeling a little ache in her wrist and holding her hand , walks in a daze with other girls who feel the sa.
Yamanaka Ino who despite knowing Naruto's training everyday , finally realizes the gap between Naruto and ..... not just with everyone or Sasuke but more so with her current self .
And Hinata Hyuga who keeps her head down , all the while suppressing the giddiness inside , she takes small peaks towards her Inspiration.
( Naruto-kun finally did it... he finally succeded after failing again and again ....Never Give up , He really proved it .... now I can tooo.....)
The Rest of the day passes , distractedly for everyone , even for the teacher.
Iruka also dismisses the class for the day at just Lunch-ti .
Seeing Iruka ending the class for the day , Naruto gets surprised and grabs his bag and decided to eat lunch at his Training Ground .
While walking down the class , Naruto notices everyone's reactions , especially after all , they are still in daze .
Just when Naruto reaches the Door , he hears Ino calling him
" Naruto...!! Where are you going ?? "
Seeing Ino grabbing her things and putting them in bag while questioning him across the class , Naruto replies amidst the silence of the class
"...Training Ground ..the old place "
" Ohhh, wait for "
Ino grabs her things and heads to Naruto , who waits by the door of the class and looks across the whole class, Naruto's gaze stops at the bob-cut Girl , who ducks under his gaze .
Hinata ducks her head and look at her lap in confusion.
( Since When did Ino-chan knew naruto-kun .....heading to training ground????.....should I follow....!! )
anwhile not just Hinata but the whole Class noticed this change
' Ino knew '
' She changed ships fast '
' No wonder '
' but she looked shocked too '
' but demon-fox of all people '
' right ....why him of all people '
Sakura also notices her friend leaving with naruto , Sakura holds her wrist silently and looks toward Sasuke-kun , who seed to be in daze.
Approaching him Sakura tries to comfort him
" Sasu---"
" GET LOST "
Lashing out at the Annoying Nuisance , Sasuke grabs his bag and leaves the class and Academy altogether .
Sakura already used to sasuke's treatnt , simply gazes at his back.
anwhile Shikamaru and Choji discusses sothing else
" I told you Ino's changed a little , but you said it---"
Shikamaru finishes his friends speech mid-sentence
" Troubleso "
" ... Do you think , She changed because of Naruto "
" Most certainly "
" Naruto changed too "
" ughhh... troubleso"
" I still thinks he's still kind inside "
" Really ..... , what about Ino though "
" Should we ask her, what happened "
" But it's a pain "
" She's our friend ... and She seems to be training like soone posessed "
Shikamaru rembers their get-together at Ino's House with all their parents and a restless and silent Ino , who trained mostly whole day and the worried gazes of Uncle Inoichi and all their parents .
"....later , let's eat first"
" ohhhhh, That's right "
anwhile Inuzuka Kiba rembered his words to Naruto at the start of race and Naruto's reply
( Ready to eat dust , Mr. Popular )
( Let's hear you talk later )
And then Kiba remberes the second ti competing against Naruto and Naruto replying while looking down on him with the sa words
( Ready to eat dust , Mr. Mutt )
Clenching his fists , Kiba gets out of his thoughts by his trustful comapanion Akamaru's licking to his face .
' yiip''yiip'
seeing Akamaru looking at him in concern and his short bark , Kiba picks him up and puts the pup on top of his head and declares with determination.
" Let's go Akamaru , Let's do this together "
Everyone leaves the silent classroom with only a forgotton Shino
( Naruto changed .... but he still forgot just like everyone else....at least I have my bugs ....next ti I will try to talk )
====================================
The Hokage's Office :
Seeing Naruto's first day at Academy especially with the changes , The Third Hokage was also curious and was watching the crystal ball with his trusted subordinates Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi.
Looking at Naruto entering the Academy and the class while wearing a Half-face mask , The Hokage's brows furrowed . And he directly asks a real-ti explanation to his aids.
" What do you think "
" Maybe , he is trying to explain and show everyone that he is different now "
Shikaku says while touching his chin and looks toward his friend , who rembers the previous day incident with his daughter and also the villagers reaction
" .....Maybe Naruto doesn't want to hear any more nonsense from the villagers and wears a mask in self-defense and comfort ?"
The Hokage , Hearing Inoichi saying this and also rembers the previous days Incident or the Drama that he personally arranged , The Hokage smokes with his pipe with a worried and guilty gaze .
Worried about Naruto rejecting villagers and guilty because of his choices .
" We will discuss this later "
Seeing Naruto's following actions , of going to the corner , not even trying to connect with any of his classmates , not even to soone who sits on his bench and by his side , the brows of all three beca a little tight .
Seeing Naruto's reaction to pick his bag and putting it aside , they finally relaxed and shikaku says
" He noticed , but didn't initiate a conversation " Shikaku
" He put the bag away , that ans he doesn't want to trouble the other kid , because of him or his actions " Inoichi
Hearing both of them , The Hokage finally relaxes in his seat
( as long Naruto doesn't reject or hate village and it's companions )
Looking at his half-mask , The Hokage thinks again while dragging a smoke
( Should I have made a different choice ... or maybe the process was wrong ...using villagers like that )
Rembering White Fang's incident , Hokage gets lost in his mories , Only to see Inoichi's Daughter coming late and addressing Naruto and the drama playing out , Both the aids remains silent at this interaction .
Later in class , Just as The Hokage instructed to the chunin Teacher.
Iruka starts the assesnt and starts with jutsu and after a while seeing Naruto performing Transformation jutsu .
" That's good " Shikaku
" hummm"Inoichi
Looking at the executed Transformation jutsu and Iruka together , Hokage thinks to himself
( He is really gifted in Transformation jutsu )
Seeing Iruka leading the kids to the Training Ground ,and Naruto falling back
" He feels distant , I guess "
" I think it's about how He has finally accepted his place & situation or Maybe everyone's reaction , classmates or villagers alike "
At this The Hokage stays silent , despite feeling the guilt , he stays as the Hokage and thinks
( He is still affected by yesterday's events .... He is still a kid , ...should forget soon though )
Seeing Naruto finally matched against Uchiha Sasuke and the ever competitive Inuzuka Kiba , The Hokage nods at Chunin Iruka obeying orders .
All three of them gets surprised at Naruto's speed this ti though , they have read report and even spied themselves but that was the jinchuriki's training while still under weights .
Looking at Naruto stopping and heading back to Iruka's side , all of their eyes twitched .
" well , way to go I guess " Shikaku
" .....He is gathering attention but in a different way " Inoichi
The Hokage smiles in relief and pride , having knowing all his Grandson's hard work over the weeks and finally him showing it off , especially against Uchiha Sasuke .
( Naruto really doesn't want to lose to Sasuke )
The Hokage looks at his Grandson with eyes full of pride , only to see a pink-haired girl aggressively approaching Naruto and lashing out with her hand .
" This should be Haruno Sakura ehhh " Nara Shikaku
" The one who justifies her existence and presence to her crush by verbally and physically abusing The Jinchuriki "
All three of them , Knowing Naruto and all of his activities , and Interactions over the year
They all have read the file about Little Girl and her actions in Naruto's life since the Academy's beginning.
Every person in the village , who approaches the JInchuriki will be noticed and their file will be in their hand the next day , especially the kids that interacts with Naruto over the years and also influences his character.
But they all gets surprised by seeing , Naruto catches the girls's hand in mid-swing this ti Unlike before of taking it and shrugging it off .
" well ....if you try to bully him now , he will stand up for himself "
" Naruto finally has bonds and friends and now he doesn't need that kind of attention from her "
Naruto catching her hand was not an unexpected situation that they discussed , he already fought with Gian and other kids and stands up for himself.
But seeing Sakura crying and kneeling down while Naruto still holding her hand , finally changes everyone's expression to seriousness.
