Chapter 25 - At last the blood boils (1/2)
Months passed and in a blink of an eye, it has been 10 months since Byron came into this world and began his new life.
Leaving his studio feeling refreshed, Minato stumbled upon Kushina.
”Good luck with your graduation exam Minato, even if you don't need it. The girls and I will come to cheer for you later.”
”Thanks Kushi, see you later” Giving her a kiss on the cheek as morning greeting, Minato continued on his way to the academy.
While on the road, he began to think about what will happen after that 'I don't think I will be placed on a genin team, with a war around the way those will be useless because the chunin or more will enter the battlefield while genin will act as a support. Well, I suppose I will finish under Jiraya as an apprentice this time around instead of being on a team under him. It's better that way, I won't have people slowing me down and I could begin challenge myself on hard missions to battle against real enemies and not just those in my mind. Well, of course not without insurance, I don't want to die because I overestimated myself.'
Arriving at the academy, he went to the classroom 4-a, where the examinations will begin. Entering the room, he looked around but doesn't recognize anyone 'Well, the generation of Shikaku and Fugaku is 2 years older than me so they are still in the third year, and with a war around the corner, their clans will not be foolish enough to graduate them early and send them to the battlefield. A genin is a soldier of the village, the clans have little say in how the Hokage dispatched them. Not that he will kill them intentionally, but he can't give them an obvious better treatment, if not he will lose the impartiality that he should have.'
He took a seat in the back of the class and began to wait while listening to the chatter of the 4th year student.
”Today I will graduate and will be on my road to becoming Hokage!” ”I will finally be able to accept missions and do ninja stuff, my time to shine is near!”...Listening to all those silly talks, Minato scoffed internally, knowing that more than ninety percent of those guys will soon die and those that don't will be scarred for life.
”Hey Ito, did you read the new chapter of Inazuma eleven?” A sudden conversation caught the attention of Minato.
”Yeah, I hope they will teach a lesson to those pricks of Epsilon soon! I'm sure that Inazuma eleven will win the next match against them”
”You're right, there is no way that they will lose with Shawn Frost from the Land of Frost's academy training like a madman to score!”
”I'm so frustrated that Axel Blaze was fired! But Tori, the daughter of the Fire Daimyo sure is cute!”
”You're right. But man, that guy Genesis sure is a genius to draw such an amazing manga. Since he introduced the concept of manga, people began to try drawing one but they're so lousy. Not only that, he even wrote without discrimination against other countries. Even if the Inazuma team from Konoha's academy is on the path of becoming the strongest, he was kind enough to make the Royal academy from the land of Whirlpool the strongest for a whole 40 years, even if everybody knows that Konoha has always been the strongest.”
”Do you think that he had a friend from there that died and dedicate this book to him?”
”Hum, you may be right.”
'Of course, they are lousy, in a world where they don't even know the meaning of entertainment, trying to write a story from scratch with just imagination is not something that you guys can do. You use chakra just to wage wars instead of developing things with this amazing energy, so there is no way people will beat me on imagination' Thought Minato, disdaining people that try to reap some benefits by copying him.
