Rebirth In The Naruto World - 7 Academy and Change

It had been a few months since the incident with the nine tails. Now, most of the city had been rebuilt and if not were close to being rebuilt. Running through the streets was a young boy with black hair, eyes, and a cheerful smile on his face.

This young boy kept on running until he arrived at the base of Hokage Mountain, where you could see all the faces of the previous and current Hokage. In front of the boy, you could see several buildings standing strong. This building was the Academy that was founded by the Second Hokage.

“Ren! You’re finally here!” Itachi called out to the boy. Of course, the boy was Ren.

“Yeah, I was a little busy so I only arrived just now”

“We have to hurry for the third Hokage’s introduction, or we’ll be late on the first day,” Itachi says as he starts moving.

When Itachi and Ren arrive, they line up. Looking to his right Ren sees a familiar face waving at him. The person waving was Izumi Uchiha, seeing her wave he waves back when the Hokage arrives.

“Today, I am going to recite the poem I wrote. I’m not asking you to memorize it nor do I expect you to understand it.” Hiruzen paused before continuing again with a gentle smile “In the place where leaves dance… The fire burns… The shadow of the fire shines on the village… Once again, new leaves sprout.”

Ren could remember the third Hokage recite this poem to Naruto and everyone else in the academy with him at the time, but hearing it personally, he couldn’t help but clench his fists as his heart started thumping very quickly. This was when he then decided to sacrifice anything and everything he could do for the village, as he thought of the Uchiha’s betrayal in the future.

…

In a room filled with many people, there was a man standing up in front of all of these people sitting down.

A middle-aged man angrily said, “They are sending us to the outskirts of the village in order to keep an eye on us!”

Another continued, “Even worse, there are some who say that the Uchiha caused the Nine-Tails Incident!”

“Captain Fugaku, we can’t accept this decision, we should reject it outright!”

As more started joining in to voice out their complaints against the village Fugaku suddenly interrupted with a firm tone, “You are all right, but after all that has happened, we can’t be starting a revolt or causing any problems right after the incident.” Pausing for a moment he then spoke to say “I will negotiate the conditions, but we still must move. Dismissed.”

After everyone left Fugaku suddenly sighed after narrowly evading the crisis.

“As a clan head, I must support the clan, but I can’t lead it to its destruction.” Fugaku thought. Then he suddenly turned around, opening his mangekyo Sharingan while looking at the stone tablet.

“Who could have controlled the Kyuubi” Fugaku murmured while a frown came to his face to express his displeasure.
