"Hello there! May I sit down next to you?! ..."

I see him sitting on the ground while eating a boxed lunch. When he looked at me I saw his full appearance.He has blond spiky hair, blue eyes and a slightly feminine face. He is Minato Namikaze... the future 4th Hokage. But right now he is just another orphan kid.

When he sees me he has a friendly smile on his face as he says. "Yeah sure, no problem."

I just have a fake smile on my face as I say. "Thank you I don't know anyone in this academy and I  could see you were alone and thought 'hey that guy looks friendly' so..."

When he hears me say that Minato just smiled. "Hahaha, thanks? I was actually waiting for my friends. Oh, there they are!"

I turn around and see three guys coming toward us. I immediately recognized them also. They are this generations Ino-Shika-Cho.

The one with the long blond hair that is tied in a ponytail, he also has blue eyes. Then he says. "Sorry for making you wait Minato, Chouza got hungry again and we had to buy him more food."

The fat one who I assume is Choza Akimichi, the father of Chouji. He has a mouth full of chips as he says. "Showy (sorry)." 

*Munch* *Munch*

Just then Shiro smelled food and popped his head out of my hoodie and barked towards Chouza. 

*Bark*

Chouza sees this and smiles towards towards Shiro. Then with a kind voice he says to my ninken. "Hey there little guy, are you hungry?"

Chouza gives him some chips which the dog takes. I also take this as my moment to introduce myself. "Hi my name is Yami Inuzuka and this is my ninken Shiro!"

Inoichi is the first one to respond as he says.

"Pleased to meet you Yami-san, my name is Inoichi Yamanaka."

Then the one with black hair and sleepy looking eyes who I assume to be Shikaku says. "Yo... I'm Shikaku Nara and the guy eating's Chouza Akimichi."

He confirmed my guess. Then Chouza just waves a little as he said. "Hello."

Minato smiles at this and says. "And my name, is Minato Namikaze."

As soon as he said that I decided I better use my skills of small talk. "So which class are you guys from?"

Minto answered this by saying. "We are second-year... We're from 2-A class."

...

We talked about lessons, dreams, and aspirations until the bell rang. As we were talking I checked their chakra levels they were:

Shikaku Nara high - Academy level chakra,

Inoichi Yamanaka - High academy level chakra

Chouza Akimichi - Low genin level chakra.

Then there was Minato... He has high genin chakra... That surprised me a little bit because even though that is quite far from the chakra level of Hokage Minato, it is still surprising for his age.

It means that he was born with academy level chakra as an orphan. Now that is what I call lucky... and talent.

He is not like me. A reincarnated person who trained chakra since he was 2 years old... 

What a talented guy... He probably trains a lot physically to grow his chakra like that without being a jinchuriki or knowing any special chakra exercises.

...

When I went home that day my mom said to me that a ninja from the Inuzuka clan has summoned me to the Inuzuka clan training grounds.

After I ate some food, I went to the training ground. There I met the guy who guarded the ninken. He was tanned, had a goatee and a Konoha headband in his forehead that covers his hair. Then he said. "Hey there little pup."

I just looked at him and said. "Yo.. Hey there Guard-san."

...

H just looks at me with an nonchalant face as he says. "My name is Gaku you little squirt!"

I act like I didn't listen to him as I say. "So why did you call me here... Guard-san?"

Immediately vains appears in his forehead as he angrily screams. "MY NAME IS GAKU BRAT!!! ..." 

Then when he noticed what he did he..

*Sigh* 

... just sighed and calmed down. Then he continued saying with a calmer tone this time.

"Anyway, I was ordered to teach you the Inuzuka clan Taijutsu and Ninjutsu... You will come here every day after the academy and we will train the clan techniques until you get them right."

I just looked at him with my normal face as I said. "Oh ok... When do I start?"

He thinks for a little, then said. "Well... First, we will have to get your body strength up to snuff, as well as your agility and stamina..."

"Begin by running around the training field for as long as you can and at your top speed."

I just nod at this. I also look at my ninken and say. "Ok... Shiro! Run along with me!"

So I started running at max speed and I ran... and ran... and ran...

....

For about 5 hours I ran, then..

*baam*

I fell face down on the ground. Shiro fell only after 3 hours.

Gaku just looks at me with an impressed look on his face while saying. "You know... I was expecting you to run at max speed for at most an hour... Turns out, you are ready for the official training... Tomorrow you don't need to train your body anymore and you'll start with the techniques right away. Your physical stats are already at genin level."

Then I decide to ask him with. "We'll still do normal body training right?"

Gaku just shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"Not with me, you'll have to do it by yourself... I am only here to teach you the clan techniques."

He turned around and started walking away. "Anyway see you tomorrow. Oh, and don't forget to bring your ninken for tomorrow's training."

He then used Shunshin and went away.

After resting for a bit I went home and immediately slept like a lod. I was just simply to tired.

...

...

...

-(Time Skip. 3 weeks later)- 

I have learned a lot of taijutsu and the Inuzuka ninjutsu: Four-legged Technique and its variants. Also every day at lunch break I would hang out with Minato and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. 

I heard a lot of things from Shikaku, since his father is the Head of Intelligence. He told me that Konoha is attacking a village called the Dragonfly Village. I realized the situation around the world is tense...

I am pretty sure that the 2nd Ninja War is going to start soon. Well, in any case, today is Taijutsu sparring class in the academy...

...

...

...

-(Time Skip. Sparring class)- 

The teacher just said with his usual nonchalant voice. "Well then, class today as you know we are going to have a sparing class. I have explained to you the basics of taijutsu in these 3 weeks... So no need to be afraid... I will match you fairly, ok?"

He explained the rules of the spar which were: No Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, only Taijutsu. When one of us is down or out of the circle we lose.

The matches begin, and civilians got matched between them, except Asume since she fought against another civilian girl and she won easily.

I was paired against Asutori Sarutobi... He went into the circle as if he had won already.

Asutori had a smug look on his g

face as he said. "You don't have to worry Yami, I will not fight you at my full power as a Sarutobi... We are after all comrades..."

I just keep quiet and don't say anything. Though in my mind I am extremely angry.

THIS TRASH HAS THE GUTS TO BRAG LIKE THAT WHEN HE ONLY HAS THAT AMOUNT OF MICROSCOPIC POWER!!!! ... 

Ok breath in and out... No need to get angry... What if this was the ninja war? I must always stay calm... This could have been a fatal mistake... 

Remember, you are not an anime protagonist you don't get any stronger by being angry... No Nakama power-ups, no plot armor... Anger only dulls your senses and makes you an easy target...

...

Then I put Shiro on the ground.

Ok, now I am ready.

The teacher just said. "Ok guys, do the unison sign."

I get into the ring do the unison sign with Asutori and then the teacher says. "Begin!"

As soon as the teacher says that, I strengthen my leg muscles with chakra. I run towards Asutori... my speed jumps to Genin level but to him in looked like a blur. I am in front of him before he can even blink. 

I kick forward and with the leg I had on the ground, I cancel the strengthening on it and concentrate the chakra on the ground to make me stick to it. I then kick forward with all my strength and even twist my leg at the point of impact to do extra damage. 

I can see his eyes widen he doesn't have time to block, so I kicked him directly in the stomach... He spits some blood and flies out of the circle, crashing on the ground 20 meters away...

Needless to say. all of the students are shocked. His sister launches herself toward me, looking like she's ready to kill me at a moment's notice... The teacher stops her with a firm hand in her shoulder and brings her down to one knee...

He then goes to the side of Asutori... Suddenly Shunshins away with him and then comes back alone. All within seconds.

He looks at me with a bit of anger and slight killing intent, not enough to terrify the normal academy student me but just enough to make him uncomfortable and nervous. Though I don't even feel uncomfortable at all.

The teacher then said with a slight judgemental tone in his voice. "Why did you use so much power against Asutori??!!"

'Well, time to play innocent' I think. I make a shocked and sad face as I say with an uncertain voice. "Sorry sensei, I didn't mean to use so much strength against him. I have never sparred against someone before, and I just used all of my strength... I am so sorry... I didn't mean for this to happen..."

When the teacher hears this he lightens up a bit and his killing intent goes away completely as he says. "I understand... But don't ever use this much strength against a fellow classmate in the future... Am I understood?!"

I immediately nod and say with a resolute voice. "Hai sensei!"

...

...

...

-(Time Skip. Age 7 years old)- 

The 2nd great ninja war has finally started.

I am not planning to graduate for at least another year until I am ready. Because I know I will be going into war as soon as I graduate... 

During this year I have trained my body to the ground, and have learned most Inuzuka techniques. I've already mastered the 3 Academy Jutsus, especially the Replacement Jutsu... I trained with it until I could do it without any hand seals... After all, it is a life-saving Jutsu...

I can now do a Physical Transformation Jutsu too, not just the illusion one.

Asutori was stuck at the hospital for about a week after my 'accidental' use of excessive force...

Although, he keeps challenging me at every sparring class, which is once a month. He hasn't won even once. I'm beginning to think I've left him with some kind of brain damage... Or maybe he's just stupid... Meh...

Minato has graduated early at 8 years old. His teacher was Jiraya of course.

Now I am having lunch only with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, as they haven't graduated yet.

...

...

...

-(Time Skip. Age 8 years old)- 

I am at last graduating. Even though there is a war going on... After all, if I can't survive this war, where the strongest ninja is a Kage level shinobi... How will I ever survive the 4th Ninja War, where Kage level ninjas are just cannon fodder...?

I have also been studying a little on medical jutsus, now that I have some free time from the Inuzuka techniques since I've mastered them all.

Even though I still can't use the Medical Palm Technique, I am training my chakra control with it.

...

...

When I got into my classroom I sat down and waited for the other students to come. 

As the classroom filled up, I was surprised to see two familiar people... Then the teacher came after the last kids.

...

After the written and practical tests, those who failed were asked to leave the classroom. Only a couple of poor civilian kids failed. The teacher starts with his graduation speech. "Ok students, today you have graduated from the academy!! It's have been an honor. To form you into the next generation of shinobi that shall protect our beloved Konoha and its citizens..."

...

"And now... the moment all you have been waiting for...  It's time to call the team placements!"

"Team one..."

...

"Team three: Yami Inuzuka, Asume Sarutobi and Asutori Sarutobi..."

I was afraid of this result... But it doesn't come as a surprise either... Guess that'll have to do for now...

Asutori has only been concentrating on training and has practically abandoned his studies... He only had 'finally beating me' on his petty mind, so his written test results were probably bad.

The sister is just a sheep so no comment there...

The teacher continued. "Team three, your jonin sensei will be..."
