Dominating With One Intent Fanfic - Chapter 12 3 Years
“Alright, the committee will begin now!”
A group of small girls huddled together near the edges of the forest near the Ninja Academy. They had a serious expression and each of them looked towards the other girls as if they were looking at a competitor.
“We are all three years old and the decisions of the most popular boys in the future will rest on our shoulders.”
An orange-haired girl spoke seriously and even if she was only three years old, her speech was eloquent and clear.
“Yeah!”
The other girls cheered and giggled. The random passerby Shinobis looked at the scene and shook their heads. They were all too familiar with this scene and many female Shinobis even had a look of reminiscence.
All the Shinobis knew that the age of three years was a very important day for these kids’ lives. They would either start their shinobi training and learn the ways of Chakra or they will pursue a normal life and try to pursue their other ‘normal’ ambitions.
“Here, this is the list of all the three-year-old boys that have opted to train!”
A cute blonde girl with cyan blue eyes spoke with a slight stutter and took out a scroll from her pockets. Unlike some of the girls, she wasn’t wearing a beautiful frock, but a light green shirt and small pants that looked beautiful on her.
The orange-haired girl nodded and took the scroll from her hand.
“Okay, I will be announcing the name of the boys now…”
Just like this, one of the most exciting events in these girls’ lives began as they took their first step in the ways of Kunoichi (Female Shinobis).
Meanwhile, a group of boys was playing mock wrestling in the playground!
It has already been a few years since the Third Shinobi War and the structure of the whole village has been modified heavily. If the previous village looked like an impervious fortress, then now, it looked skewed towards the economical society and modest structures to develop the younger generation in a peaceful looking village.
“Ah! Shit!”
A blonde boy with a pair of blue eyes rubbed on the small cut on his elbow and dusted off the sand on his shirt.
“Che, is that all you got? Huh, Naruto?”
A black haired kid with equally black eyes smirked and spoke proudly.
“Shit! Don’t be so smug, Sasuke! I will defeat you one of these days!”
The blonde boy, Naruto, pointed at Sasuke and shouted fiercely.
Meanwhile, the other group of boys looked at the quarrelling Duo and then looked at the three uncommon boys laying under the shade of the tree with a comfortable expression.
“Oi! Eio, come here and play with us!”
Naruto shouted and waved his hands and smiled cheerfully. He was a kind and open-minded boy that loved to make friends. Even though he had chatted with Eio before, it felt like Eio did not want to include in any social group and just slept all the time.
A Black-haired boy wearing an orange t-shirt alongside blue shorts opened his eyes lazily. His purple eyes let out a light glow and he shouted back.
“Don’t wanna!”
With that, he closed his eyes and dozed off once again.
As Eio shouted, the boy with his hair tied up opened his eyes and scratched his cheek in annoyance.
“Man, don’t shout when someone is trying to sleep. Sigh…. waking up is particularly annoying!”
“Yeah, yeah, go back to your sleep, Shikamaru.”
Eio replied without opening his eyes.
Meanwhile, the boy sitting to Eio’s left played with a small bug and silently ignored the small argument.
He was happy as long as he had a small bug playing on his fingertip.
“Tch, why the hell sleeps all day long! It is fine if he is alone, but he has also dragged away Shikamaru and Shino!”
Naruto complained as he placed both of his hands behind his back.
Meanwhile, Eio felt even more unhappy.
‘Everyday….. Every day!’
He was forced to come to this playground every day, just to increase his social contacts and gain some friends.
Of course, his parents tried to persuade him from a different direction, but they had their own ill motive!
After all, Asuka was pregnant once again the very day he came out to ‘play’ for the first day!
But Eio did not blame them! He hasn’t been very responsive to Asuka and Ryu since he still had his own inhibitions, but he was happy and felt glad that they were able to get pregnant.
At least, they would be able to direct their parental affection to another target.
But deep down, he also felt uncomfortable and couldn’t point at the source of this feeling.
Truly, a human’s heart is filled with complicated emotions!
To avoid this feeling, he tried to distract his mind through different hobbies. After all, he wasn’t allowed to train and such a small body couldn’t handle his own martial arts training, so he simply started to sleep more.
But this action gained even more respect from this bunch of immature children.
From the very beginning they started to play with Eio, he has only participated in mock wrestling once and he had defeated all of them as they rushed together to bully him into playing with them.
At that Eio felt funny! They wanted him to play with them so they would bully him! What kind of shit logic is that?
“Huff!”
Eio exhaled lightly and rested once again.
He didn’t want to associate himself with kids, but the irony was glaring as he happily rested under the shade of a tree with two kids.
“Hey, did you guys already start your training?”
Eio asked out suddenly.
The sleeping Shikamaru and the silent Shino stiffened slightly and looked at each other.
“Why do you ask?”
Shino, who didn’t like to speak much said lightly. His small face showed a surprisingly complicated expression.
Clan training is the most confidential training methods belonging to individual clans. They have their own methods of manipulating chakra and achieve miraculous effects.
Shino and Shikamaru enjoyed Eio’s presence and they didn’t know how they would respond if he wanted to ask for their training methods.
These two were still children and it was easy for them to jump to conclusions.
“Hmm? I asked my father to train me and he said that I am still too small.”
Eio replied and continued as he sensed the relieved expression on Shikamaru’s sleeping face and Shino’s visible face.
After all, Shikamaru was still acting to sleep and Shino had a pair of large black goggles on his face.
“So, I wanted to know if you are going through the same thing!”
Eio looked at Shino.
Shino thought for a while and commented once again.
“Hmm, I have started my training.”
He spoke to the point and fell silent once again. His attention was focused on the small black bug on his fingertip.
Seeing that Shikamaru did not bother to reply, Eio simply assumed that he had started his training, too.
***
Meanwhile, in the little Kunoichi’s committee, the girls were giggling foolishly as they swayed left and right.
“Sasuke…. he is the best!!!!”
The Orange-haired girl has a small picture of a Black-haired boy. Her expression looked extremely disturbing for a three-year-old, but surprisingly, many Kunoichis saw this expression and felt deeply with the little girl.
“Hmm? What about Eio?….”
The blonde girl raised the question as the group fell silent.
The thought of whatever impression they had on the small boy and their expression turned extremely disturbing once again.
“He is… too cooollll”
“Yeah, yeah, I saw him defeating all the boys including Sasuke and Naruto!!!”
Another pink-haired girl chimed in.
“Heee~ When? Why didn’t you call me Sakura~” The blonde girl pinched the pink-haired girl and spoke with a blaming tone.
“Uh..oh.. that, I… I was just passing by!”
Sakura shouted with a fierce blush on her face.
Just like this, the meeting continued.

A/N (Extremely Important)
Now, before you guys say anything, this is a harem novel that will involve a lot of girls.
With that being said, I know many readers have some negative thoughts about Sakura.
Let’s analyse! (This analysis will be during the time till chunin exams since she had already gained the title of useless)
Naruto had kyubi and a very big chakra reserve. He was also tempered by emotionally by the behaviour of the villagers and his innate constitution was sturdy because of him being an Uzumaki!
Whenever he encountered a desperate situation, most of the time, he would be forced to release the kyubi chakra.
Now, comeback to Sakura!
She did not have either of these! She was a simple kunoichi genin with no skill whatsoever to face against Zabuza, and then Orochimaru.
I am not saying that she was the same level as Naruto or Sasuke as she thought during the war, but I am trying to portray my own thoughts about Sakura NOT being useless.
And the same is the case with Sasuke! He cannot be considered ordinary genin as he faced the extermination of his clan with his own eyes.
What I am trying to say is that excellent ninjas are created out of desperate situations and she didn’t truly face one of them alone like Sasuke or Naruto.
That is also the reason she developed a reliance on both of them as they were near her for most of the time.
Lastly, even if I am defending Sakura doesn’t mean that I am intending to bring her to Harem, at least not now.
But I will write and see the development before taking any unchangeable scenario.
Thanks for hearing all my ranting.
I hope you like this chapter.
