Naruto- More than a Number-Part 1.

Chapter 2 Mio moving in.

(Itachi POV)

Arriving before anyone else I take a seat at my usual spot in the class. Resting my chin on my propped up elbow I stare out the window quietly, thinking to myself. That girl from yesterday disappeared from sight the second the bell rang, I didn't even see her leave. She didn't speak the entire day and stayed focus on learning. Father said he wanted to adopt her into the clan because he believes she has potential. He hasn't been able to do so because she is staying with Jiraiya the Legendary Sannin. Apparently the Toad Sage found her on his way back to the village, she was bloody and covered in dirt. She was also malnourished and defenseless, Jiraiya took her in and cared for her. She didn't say anything, except when he asked for her name she wrote '107' in the dirt. This led Jiraiya to believe she is one of the children the Rogue's took but non-like the other children she didn't speak. The Hokage looked further into this and asked other village's if the children they found knew who she was. As far as we know 107 has never spoke before and is extremely obedient, partially why Father wants her to join the clan. Father says Jiraiya has agreed to her joining the Uchiha's so that we can train and watch over her. She will be introduced to the clan in a matter of days, maybe longer or shorter.

Footsteps approach from the door and I look up to see the very girl I was thinking about. Her violet locks tied in a high pony tail behind her with stray hairs wandering wherever they want from previous training. Her hands in her pockets, I note the same outfit she wore yesterday and her scarlet eyes watching her feet as she takes small steps towards the stairs. She looks as if she's lost in thought as she strides towards my desk. I watch her silently as she keeps a expressionless face and takes a seat beside me. I look down at the smooth, wooden surface in front of me. She removes a book from her bag and opens it up to a specific page. Resting her outstretched arms on the desk her bright eyes begin scanning over the words as she takes in the information.

Usually if a girl was to do this I'd be slightly surprised because most girls are more interested in petty things. But this didn't shock me in the slightest, this girl seems interested in learning and for her to read books only further proves this. My onyx orbs travel to the front cover of her book and read the title 'Chakra Natures'. So she's not just reading for enjoyment but to actually learn I notice as I look back to her face. It stays calm as she continues reading, I'm unsure if she's even noticed my presence.

"Alright, Izumi why don't you try," my Sensei states as he smiles to her.

"Okay," she smiles standing quietly. She walks to the front of the class and does a few hand signs before making one perfect clone.

"Well done! You've been practicing," the teacher congratulates and she smiles. I hear other girls in the class whisper about her being a show off or something and she frowns. "Now you need to focus on making more clones."

"Right," she nods. Izumi does care about becoming a Shinobi but still shows interest in making friends. She is a kind girl and has great pride in our clan.

"107, do you want to attempt the clone jutsu? The signs ar-" my Sensei explains but gets cut off when a line of the said girl poofs along every wall in the class and one seated on each desk. I could never make this many clones let alone without making hand signs like that, how did she do it?

I see my Sensei's eyes widen with surprise and her clones suddenly transform into every student in the class and our Sensei. I can't believe she transformed all of those clones and yet again without using hand signs. It's very rare things catch me by surprise but this is impeccable, who is this girl? I think to myself confused while keeping a calm, unreadable exterior.

"W...wow!" my Sensei gasps in disbelief, not even he could make that many proper clones let alone transform them and without using hand signs at all. "Uhh..." he quickly clears his throat and writes on his sheet of paper. "Well done! Who's next?" my teacher asks trying to hide his astonishment as the transformed clones poof away into smoke. I stare at the girl amazed by her talents, did Jiraiya teach her this? She stays focused on the other students attempts, oblivious to my stare and I quickly gaze out the window as I notice my staring. I don't even think my cousin Shisui could do what she just did.
