... On the other hand, noice!
At least, with his chakra sensing maxed out and with his awareness boosted twice, Kai could naturally feel the chakra reserves of those around him and could now compare his own reserves with others in a better light.
In their classroom, the highest chakra amount belonged to Kushina but now... Kai could attribute her chakra as warm. Mikoto's was only better than others but far behind Kushina. If he had to give Kushina's reserve a number... it would be around 10-11000... Mikoto had around 4000 and Nawaki who claimed to have his Senju inheritance and high chakra reserve was about the same as Mikoto. On the other hand, Kai looked at the boy next to him. No, not Nawaki who yawned loudly, the irritating runt, but the blonde master of finesse, Minato.
The boy had close to 3000 chakra points but their reserves grew every day. Not as prominently as Kai but it did. Other clan students were stranded between 3000 and 4000 points, too and his only partner in kiddy reserve was Tsume with about 2000 points.
"Why do we have to study this?! What is even Sex? I wanted to train in transformation technique!" Nawaki groaned as Kai rolled his eyes. Sure, the boy would stare at chicks all day but lacked the necessary information to unlock the effects of his hormones. Minato, who'd made friends with the boy, smiled, "It should be a technique, too. I think SEX is a code. Maybe we could" And Minato droned how the term sex held some geometrical secret...
Wow!
Kai actually had to hold his snicker. Oh, he wanted to ruin their innocence but someone was quicker than Kai.
"Hehe, no. Sex is actually a process where a man has intercourse with a woman," since the boys were sitting in the front of the large hall where all the boys of the Academy were seated, a platinum-blondie interjected from behind them as he sat alongside a lazy and round fellow with narrow eyes, Akimichi, surely, and a dark-haired boy with his head down...
'So, these are Inoichi Yamanaka, Choza Akimichi, and Shikaku Nara...'
Kai knew them and so did Minato and Nawaki. The trio was a bit famous after all. But...
Nawaki blinked, "What's intercourse? And where can I eat it!"
"Hahaha, that's a nice question, Nawaki! And the great Jiraiya is here to answer just these types of questions!"
The door to the hall was opened as a spiky white-haired youth stepped into the class alongside a pale white man with sleek black hair that cascaded down while purple eye shadow gave his light yellow eyes a haunting contrast.
"Fufufu, be quiet now. The class has begun. I am Orochimaru and this is my teammate Jiraiya. We will teach you a varied number of subjects at the end of every week from now on starting with the easiest, sexual education and why any respectable shinobi should avoid it."
"Wait, wait, AVOID?!" the man named Jiraiya looked positively stunned before he matched the impassioned gaze of his teammate who quirked a smirk and blinked, "Ah, yeah, ahahaha, avoid. Yes, definitely avoid."
These two... weren't exactly unknown. Especially because Mito had a somewhat close relationship with Tsunade unlike the rest of the Senju.
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade are all the disciples of the Third Hokage and even now, many in the class were dumbstruck as they realized who these two were.
But while the class began, Jiraiya looked around discreetly as he answered questions and took the role of a jester. He noticed a few gems soon enough, but to him, the blonde-haired civilian kid seemed more... similar to himself.
'Civilian and a genius... just like how I happened to be. Good chakra control but sadly not the best in his class. Rivaling with the boy named Kai next to him... but the kid is already a clansman to Uzumaki and Senju. Hmm, Minato should be good enough. Anyway, I have to find another one for myself while Kai should be reserved for her... truly, the reports don't do justice to just how young the kid is...' Jiraiya and Orochimaru didn't intend to scare the children... well the freak next to him initially did but when Jiraiya pointed out how the clan leaders won't take it kindly if Orochimaru turned their heirs gay... or worse, asexual, he grew in line quickly enough and adjusted today's course and started with the bare minimum of sex ed... no horrors on what a trained Kunoichi can inflict just yet.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru had his own thoughts. He instantly noted some preferred candidates.
'Hmm, Minato is desirable... but he has no connections to the clan. On the other hand, Nawaki is quite rough around the edges but if I hope to take that seat, I would need connections with Senju, more the better. Let's see... Kai-kun is good... sadly, he isn't heir. Anyway, aside from Nawaki, I can only choose another heir and no more. Sensei made it clear to me and Jiraiya that the clan leader would not take it kindly if any of us took more than two clan heirs for our political goals... except Tsunade.
Seriously, that girl is a hot commodity now but... she seeks chakra control more than connections. And Jiraiya barely cares for politics.
So the rule of only two clan heirs is to restrict me appropriately.
The rule of having three genins without a question is so that Tsunade doesn't laze.
And the rule of no more than a single girl in his team... is appropriate of Jiraiya would give the male half no shot.'
Orochimaru smiled internally and continued to be kind to the clan members while Jiraiya sighed at his teammate's antics and knowingly taught the civilians whenever they had a question. Case in point, Jiraiya's responses, despite his jokes, happened to be the more well-thought-out ones.
---
Tsunade looked at the hall full of aspiring Kunoichis whose eyes gleamed as they looked at her, making her groan internally. While Jiraiya and Orochimaru could co-op their current mission, Tsunade had to go solo. Well, partly because the female ratio was well below the male.
'Grandma wants me to pick Kushina and Kai... but who should be the other one? That guy Minato? Hmm... No, his file states that the boy is more interested in external techniques and has shown interest in sealing techniques from his parent's inheritance. But Kai is way younger and can be polished more so there's that. Let's just wing it and see what we can find.'
"At the end of every week from now on, all you kids will be gathered here for extra-curricular studies! Today's topic is Sexual Education."
Her bold words elicited blush from many girls as Tsunade slammed her hand on the board, the loud sound waking them up from their stupor.
"Hey, what's sex?" Kushina whispered as Mikoto blushed again and refused to answer.
"It's mating. It's when two dogs," Tsume began to impart her knowledge when Tsunade glared at the group, "And no interrupting me, chibis! Let me make this point loud and clear. Shit happens! More so in Kunoichi's life than in Shinobis. The kind of shit that may make you stay at home unwillingly with a child in your arms whose father is of another village!"
Those who understood the implications paled and Mikoto happened to be one of them.
Seeing that her words had an appropriate effect on the 'curious' and 'knowledgeable' girls, she nodded and began the real informative class. Unlike Jiraiya and Orochimaru who provided scrolls with diagrams and whatnot, Tsunade was a medic-nin and had an extreme knowledge about the biology and its more metaphysical side so...
*poof*
She had life-sized models of a naked man and woman.
Many felt their vision swim as Tsunade continued.
---
The academy continued and despite the addition of the three disciples of the Hokage, things didn't change much aside from the fact that a rumor began to spread that the three of them were looking for apprentices and this... stoked Mikoto who wanted to get accepted by Tsunade.
But she also seemed more... tired? Her chakra control was strangely growing for the better as if she was purposely getting trained by her clan. But then again, it only made sparring more enjoyable with her.
Kai still hadn't touched Ninjutsu of the elemental kind that needed a series of hand seals. He asked about it from Mito, trying to fish another free skill but she made it quite clear that training in elemental ninjutsu leads for a shinobi to learn some bad habits about something called Nature Transformation. Then it was clear what he had to do currently.
Improve what he can and build up like a damn fortress!
Academy skills were mastered soon enough and the Taijutsu of the Senju Clan alongside their Kunai and Shuriken skills were added, too. Of the sword techniques, Kai didn't think the more the better... but grinding these skills gave him SP and more knowledge. Even if he never uses a sword, knowing about it certainly gave him an edge over a swordsman.
So Grind!
Mito wants a massage?
Grind!
Kushina wants her back washed?
Grind!
His life never felt so pleasant.
Beating Tsume until she was on her knees, smiling gleefully. Terrorizing Minato with his godly display of Ninjutsu
Grind!
But... the things Orochimaru and Jiraiya taught only grew darker with each lesson and soon...
The day of reckoning was upon them.
---
In a dark underground hall that nobody knew that academy even had, a row of teachers stood in front of an inconsistent number of students behind them. There were a total of ten teachers. Each year had two different classes. One of these belonged entirely to civilians and the other one belonged to the students from Nin families of any size.
Thus, in any given year, there would be ten classrooms.
*Step*
*Step*
*Step*
The dingy underground room echoed with hollow steps as three familiar figures stood in front of these individuals.
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.
The three silently looked at the group gathered and entered the room next door. And only then did a silent figure arrive from the shadows wearing a long ceremonial white robe with red lining and a large hat with a red lid. The middle-aged man's appearance shocked everyone. The teachers and students silently bowed to the man in greeting as he waves his hand and spoke calmly.
"Raise your heads, everyone, and congratulations. All of you gathered here because you have the ability to graduate from the Academy and when informed by your teachers, chose to apply for the graduation, yes?"
Everyone nodded... including Kushina who was having a hard time hiding her grin. Only Sennin knew the overnights she pulled and if the dark circles under her eyes despite her impressive physique were an indication of it many! Her hard work paid off and it was noted by their Sensei.
"Now, I will present you with a choice. It isn't usual for the Academy to delve into... extra-curricular studies," Hiruzen noted a bit of gloom flashing through everyone... but the boy. Noting it in his heart, the Third Hokage continued, "Consider the following choice as a test. If you accept it and fail, you shall never become a genin and will be forced to live a life of a civilian even if you belong to a clan. If you pass, you will be nurtured by the village completely. Of course, you can refuse the additional test and get your forehead protector."
With that, the Hokage grew silent and after being unable to bear the silence, one of the students inquired meekly, "H-Hokage-sama... what is this test?"
"I won't tell you. As rumored, three of my disciples indeed wish to take on an apprentice. All I can say is that only those who accept this test have a chance to gain their tutelage."
[Special Quest: Genin
Summary: Pass the tests and become a Genin with flying colors!
Rewards: 10 SP, Forehead Protector, A New Title, A New Skill Tree.
Failure: Forehead Protector, A New Titled, a New Skill Tree.]
'Would have done this for 10 SP alone... that said, the title should be related to genin and the skill tree, too. This can only mean that... we become genin no matter what. Damn, so the actual reward is only the SP.'
Hokage's words, however, didn't rouse excitement as intended. Now that their career was on the line, they fell silent. Even if they enter the room next door, there is no guarantee that they will become the apprentice given the number of students. So, everyone waited. They wanted someone to take the lead.
And someone did.
"I give up," Shikaku Nara yawned and stepped out, "Where can I get my Forehead Protector, Hokage Sama?"
"The exit has a teacher fulfilling the graduation formalities." Sarutobi smiled wryly at the Nara boy and as expected, two more voices echoed.
Inoichi and Choza walked out, too. Seeing the actual clan heir step away, there was a brief period of hesitation before a few more students related to the clan left and more civilians followed the suit. The largest group of students were on the side of the older students who had four to five years to complete their curriculum but it was also them who were really unwilling to risk their careers.
Even Nawaki left with a sour expression while he glanced towards others who stayed and gritted his teeth.
Once things settled, the Hokage nodded and spoke calmly, "Right. Let's start with the oldest."
With that, the row far on the right was led by the corresponding teacher into the room. After a few minutes of stifling silence, a loud scream shook the students. The blood-curdling screams only continued for a few more minutes until... silence. Nobody but the teacher stepped out and his hand, too, dripped. The students couldn't see well in the dark but... the implications were quite clear.
Many students paled and left, reducing the number of students to 30.
Hiruzen nodded and the only student from the second right row stepped into the room. A few minutes of silence... and nothing. The teacher stepped out once again but the boy was nowhere to be found.
Three more students left.
This continued until the screams or silence weighed so heavily on the students that Kushina was trembling, already on the verge of tears while Mikoto bit her lower lip and was pale beyond belief. But she refused to leave!
Minato was no better as he kept his head lowered while his shoulders shuddered and Kai just... looked lost. He was so bored he blanked out. Others can think whatever they want.
Soon, it was their turn as they were in the second to last row with only one student remaining after them.
