Naruto: Story of Senshi, Dragon of the Uchiha - Chapter 9

Senshi woke up, filled with energy. He ate a caloric breakfast, and was extremely hyper. He ran to the Academy and arrived there before everyone else. He decided to whack away at one of the trees. When Kakashi arrived, with Obito and Rin, he asked, “Um.. Senshi, what are you doing to that tree?” Senshi stopped, turned toward the trio, and said, “Just playing around while waiting. Anyway, I’ll graduate today. Same with you, Kakashi?” Kakashi nodded in reply, and they went into the Academy. When the graduation exam started, they were each given a written test, which Senshi quickly answered, but which some failed. They went outside afterwards for the weapon test, throwing kunai and shuriken at the target. When it was Senshi’s turn, he threw the weapons so fast, no one could react. Next thing they knew, there were 20 kunai and shuriken embedded in the center of the target. After the teacher broke out of his shock, he announced, “20 out of 20.” As he walked away, everyone had their jaws on the floor. He observed everyone else silently, as more people either passed or failed. They then had spars against each other, and Senshi went against Kakashi, again. Senshi and Kakashi faced each other, and Kakashi said, “Here we go again.”, to which Senshi replied, “Yeah, here we go again.” They then both formed the Seal of Confrontation, and rushed toward each other. Senshi threw a kunai which he had placed the Hiraishin seal on beforehand at Kakashi. Kakashi dodged, then as he was about to punch Senshi, Senshi completely vanished, and next thing he knew, Kakashi felt cold steel at his throat. Senshi had teleported behind Kakashi using the Hiraishin seal on the kunai, and put that kunai at Kakashi’s throat. Kakashi asked, “H-how!?” Senshi replied, “I learnt a Space-Time Ninjutsu from Minato-sensei. Don’t you see the seal on this kunai?” Kakashi looked down at the kunai, and realized there really was a seal on it. He then asked, “What does the seal have to do with your Space-Time Ninjutsu?”, to which Senshi replied, “I can teleport to anywhere a seal is.”, to which Kakashi replied, “Oh.. okay.” Senshi released the kunai from Kakashi’s neck, and they formed the Seal of Reconcilliation. As they both walked back, everyone was mopping the floor with their jaws at Senshi’s instant win. After all the spars were finished, they went inside for the final test, creating a bunshin (clone). When Senshi’s turn came, he weaved two seals and said, “Tiger -> Shadow Clone Seal! Hono no Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Flame Shadow Clone)!”, and a shadow clone with an outer shell of fire popped into existence. The teacher shouted, “Congratulations, Uchiha Senshi, you are now a genin!” Senshi stepped forward and chose his Hitaiate (Forehead Protector) in blood red, and tied it on. He sat down, ignoring everyone gaping at him. Kakashi also got promoted to genin. The teacher said, “Come here tomorrow for your teams to be announced.” They all left the Academy, and Senshi went home to celebrate. When he came home, Kenji once again asked Senshi to train him, and Senshi replied, “Yes, I will.” Kenji was overjoyed at this, and Senshi chuckled. Senshi taught Kenji a few Fire Style jutsu, along with more kenjutsu, and the Shadow Clone jutsu. When tey ate dinner, Reiko said, “So, Senshi, you finally graduated. Congrats.” Senshi said, “Thank you, Father. Oh, by the way, they’ll announce the teams tomorrow.” Hiromi said, “Good job, Senshi-kun.”, kissing her son on the forehead. Senshi finished dinner and fell asleep inside his room, wondering who would be in his team.

## Next Day ##

Senshi woke up, suited up with his hitaiate (Forehead Protector) tied on his forehead, and his sword sheathed at his belt, and then ate breakfast before heading to the Academy. He arrived at the Academy and sat down, waiting for the teacher. When the teacher arrived after everyone was in the classroom, he pulled out a scroll and began to read from it, as it was the list of teams. The teacher said, “Team 1..”, but at this point, Senshi dozed off. When he woke up, he heard the teacher continue to say, “Might Guy, Genma Shiranui and Ebisu, you will be Team Chōza, with your sensei being Chōza Akimichi.” The teacher then continued to announce, “Senshi Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha and Nohara Rin, you’ll be Team Minato, with your sensei being.. Minato Namikaze!” The four of them looked at each other with different expressions, Senshi and Rin with excitement, Obito wih shock, and Kakashi, no one could understand because of his mask. The teacher then said, “Apparently, Minato left a message. ‘Meet at training ground 3.’ Did you hear that, Team Minato?” The four of them said, “Hai.” After the announcing was finished, the four of them went to training ground 3. When they arrived, they saw Minato sitting there, meditating with his eyes closed. All of them but Senshi flinched when they heard him say, “So.. you’re my new team. I’m Minato Namikaze.”, then he opened his eyes. He analyzed his team, but when he saw Senshi, his eyes widened, and he asked, “S-senshi!?” Senshi said, chuckling, “Hello Minato-sensei. Looks like I’m on your team and with you again.”
