chapter 5: The Academy...

*It was a beautiful morning and everyone was getting ready for the big day... It was the day when the Academy starts... The village was filled with joy and laughter... There was huge crowd that surrounded the academy... *

Minato : alright are you both ready...

Naruto: you bet I am (said in an excited tone..)

Keerthi: yeah it's gonna be fun..

*Minato chuckled seeing there cute behaviour.. *

??: good to see you here Lord 4th..

Minato: oh Fugaku.. Long time no see..

Fugaku: yeah it's been a long time... Well my little boy is going to the academy.. So I had to come for him...

Minato: oh really what's his name...

Fugaku: Sasuke..

Minato: oh I guess Naruto and Sasuke are in the same class.. I hope they become friends...

Fugaku: friends?? I say rivals..

*Itachi was in the anbu but he made time for his brother... Seeing Sasuke with his brother made you feel happy...you went to Itachi.. *

Keerthi : your Itachi uchiha aren't you..?

Itachi: *a little surprised* yes I am..

Minato: do you really know Itachi dear...

Keerthi: oh! I actually heard it from kakashi...

Minato: oh that's how ha... 😆

Itachi: oh I see you heard about me from captain kakashi then...

Keerthi: yeah I heard a lot about your adventures...kakashi also told me you have great friend...

Itachi: yeah I do... He is like my brother...

Keerthi: wow .. It must amazing to have a friend like him..

Itachi: *chuckled*

Keerthi: what's his name..

Itachi: oh it's shisui..

Keerthi: 🙂.. Oh I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself..

Itachi: no... It's ok..

Keerthi: I'm keerthi Namikaze... Nice to meet you.. *you put your hand out for a shake hand... Itachi gladly accepted the hand shake... Minato was a bit taken back of why you changed your name so suddenly... *

*The Academy bell rang and everyone went to attend the assembly... The children where on one side and the parents on the other side... There were jonin, chunin and some of the anbu with the old man (3rd hokage)...The assembly has started and everyone was sorting to their classes..Naruto and you were in different classes.. You were feeling a bit nervous... You didn't know what it was,but you were feeling a lot nervous... Maybe it was your first day that's why your feeling nervous.. You looked at your parents.. They were really happy so you gave them a smile...you were really nervous... Like your heart was gonna brust out any second... You closed your eyes... Trying to calm down nothing seems to work.. You open your eyes .. The only thing you were having was goosebumps... You checked your surroundings... You found someone staring at you with a mysterious look with grey hair and a mask... Mysterious as always... He smiled at you... Even while smiling he seems to caught you off guard... You returned a smile and lip syned to him.. Thanks kakashi🙂.. He immediately understood what you were trying to say... But a bit confused why thanks.. You went inside the academy starting your day...you felt a bit of confidence in you... The started and it wasn't pretty much boring for you... After the classes

The bell rang indicating that it was time to go home.. You went with your brother to your home... *

Minato POV:
*As I heard the door open I saw my kids coming from their academy.. *

Minato: so how was the academy..

Naruto: boring as ever... They had told history the entire day...

Minato: *chuckled* I guess it can be.. Pretty boring.. How about you dear...

Keerthi: well they didn't start anything cuz it's the first day it was all introductions.. Maybe they'll start from tomorrow..

Naruto: WHAAAT... 😱😱they didn't start anything for you.. Oh good for you..

Keerthi: well I guess they are going to start from tomorrow... So no need to worry..

Naruto: they already gave me homework..

*I and my daughter chuckled together*

The day went by... Soon it was years that they already joined the academy..it felt like it was just yesterday... And the genin exams were near...
