Dandin walked toward the academy. There were a few guards outside but none of them could see through his transformation technique. If they could see through it they would have stopped him.

"It's strange. I imagined that security would be stronger here. Maybe we're just that confident that no one can enter Kawagakure and therefore don't heavily guard the academy."

What Dandin didn't know what that there were detection seals around the academy. These seals would be activated if someone outside the village tried to enter a key area like the academy. When Dandin was born his blood was registered with the village, so he didn't trip the alarm. It was one of the most complicated seals the village owned, but compared to the seals in Naruto's world it was weak and easy to dismantle.

Dandin walked to the guard, handed him Tora's ID Token and walked inside.

"That was smoother than I expected..."

Taki, Miko and Dandin had researched the academy and knew it's layout. Dandin had also convinced his dad to take him there to tour it a few months ago so he knew where the library was.

He went straight there and kept his head down the whole time. It would be a disaster if someone tried to talk to him since he had randomly chosen his target and didn't know anything about him except for how outrageous his actions were. Therefore, if someone greeted him, he chose to ignore them.

The library was a massive building. It was a blue and gold pagoda with five levels and many ornate decorations carved on its sides. It was one of the tallest buildings in the academy and was easy to spot from a distance.

Once he reached the library, he flashed his ID token to the two students who were guarding the lowest level and went inside. The student who was guarding the entrance was stunned. "Why did Tora decide to come to the library?"

His fellow student asked, "should we tell them he's here? It would be fun to see how they react."

...

Back in the alley the real Tora woke up.

"Ah... my head..." He reached up to rub his aching head but couldn't because his hands were tied. When he looked around, he realized his feet were also bound.

"What the hell?" He thought for a moment and remembered the fight he'd lost with the little kids. He became extremely angry and started to swear like a sailor.

"If I ever catch you three, you're dead!"

He flailed his body and tried to free himself from the ropes. With great effort he got his hands free and then his feet.

Then he ran off to find and kill those kids.

...

Dandin walked quietly inside the library. There were several students reading scrolls and a few quietly chatting in various places. The library was huge. When Dandin saw the thousands of scrolls on the first floor he was overjoyed. There was so much knowledge here! If he could study all these scrolls, he would learn so much useful information.

It didn't take very long for him to find the library's index and scan through it. When he did, he became a little dissatisfied with the library's contents. These scrolls weren't all Ninjutsu related scrolls. Not even half of them were. Only about a tenth of them were ninja related. The rest were books about economics, mathematics, poetry, literature, philosophy, history, and other regular topics.

All those topics were useful, but they weren't the massive treasure of resources he thought they were.

He scanned the index and he discovered he needed to go to the second floor to find Body Flicker Technique. He quickly went up the stairs and saw a group of five students. He ignored them and moved to his goal.
