Chapter 3 (1/2)

Waking up I felt refreshed. But when I looked at my alarm clock I started to panic. It's currently at 8 am and the class starts at 8:30 am. Which means I have only 30 minutes left. I quickly went and did my daily routine. Which included brushing my teeth, taking a shower, and taking a shit.

When I was done I made some noodles and when I left my door I had only 15 minutes left. So I ran as fast as I could to the academy. While I was running I realized that I didn't get really tired. Being an Uzumaki and a jinjuriki has Its benefits.

After 10 minutes of running, I made it to the academy. Opening the door to my class and looking around I saw a lot of familiar faces. Everyone from the future rookie 9 was in this class. I took a look around and went to greet Shikamaru and Chōji and then went to sit beside them.

Everyone was looking weird at me. Because even though school has only been going on for 1 week, Naruto has been a loudmouth every single day. So seeing me being so quiet they found it weird. But they are just 5-year-old kids, so they quickly forgot about me.

A couple minutes later Iruka-sensei entered the classroom and told everyone to be quiet. Because It's just a class of 5-year-olds everything here was so easy. We were learning how to read and write. They also taught us the shinobi rules and how to strengthen our mind and body. I thought that we would learn more than that, but I was the stupid one for believing they would teach little kids how to throw a kunai.

When it was lunch I went to get something to eat from the cafeteria. Luckily I was able to get my food without a problem. Rather than sitting in the cafeteria with a bunch of loudmouth kids I went to the roof.

After arriving at the roof I found Shikamaru lying there watching the clouds. Remembering how smart Shikamaru was and how he became Naruto's Chief Aide I decided that he is a worthy Allie. I found it kinda sad how he was always beside Naruto but Naruto instead of befriending him went after The Emo King who always ignored him and looked down on him.

I went up to Shikamaru and spoke to him.

”Yo, what are you doing here alone?”

”Cloud watching.”

”Hm, I see. I also look at the clouds sometimes. I find it relaxing.”

Shikamaru looked shocked.

'Someone other than me likes watching clouds. I never expected that from that kid. But he has been really quiet today.'

Naruto took him out of his thoughts.

”Hey I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Naruto Uzumaki it's nice to mee you.”

”I'm Shikamaru Nara nice to meet you too.”

”Say do you want to be friends.”

”Sure, why not.”

”Really? That's great. Can we eat lunch together from now on”

”Sure let's come to this roof every lunch break. Its the best place to eat in peace.”

”Yeah your right. Let go to class the bell just rang.”

After finishing school I went home. On my way home I grabbed some leaves for training. After arriving and entering my home I heard a knock. Opening the door I saw a Chunin. He said the Hokage sent him to shop for me. I told him to wait while I make a list. It was just a lot of food ingredients and a couple of pairs of clothes since I know that wearing bright orange clothes and being a shinobi won't work without plot armor.
