3 Academy

She continued to observe Shun's face, it was difficult for her to see his face since he had turned his face down, but she could imagine how furious and angry he must be. She readied herself for some hateful words but was surprised but she just heard a bitter laugh escaping from Shun's mouth.

A bitter laugh filled with pain and remorse, he started speaking with this feeling etched in his heart, "So, I am the reason why my parents are dead. I guess they are unlucky that a son like me was born in this world."

He raised his head as he was trying his best to not let his tears break out, but as soon as Miyuki glanced at his eyes, she froze up and her expression changed to that of disbelief. She staggered back some steps as she muttered out with disbelief, "S-Sharingan."

She didn't think that this revelation would actually awaken their prided Bloodline so soon, she knew the amount of Emotional turmoil needed for the awakening of Sharingan and didn't think that he was experiencing such turmoil.

She opened up her arms as she hugged him and caressed his head very gently, "Calm down Shun, calm down. It wasn't your fault, no, maybe it was just the bad situation." At this time, Mikoto returned back to the hall.

She wondered why her mother was hugging Shun but she didn't care for the reason, "Waa, No fair. I also want to hug Shun." She suddenly rushed towards Shun and hugged him from behind.

This gesture brought back Shun as his Red eyes once again turned Black, he turned around and met up with a bright smile on Mikoto's face. He tried to smile as he realized that not all was lost, he still had Mikoto, Aunt Miyuki and Uncle Kansuke.

He knew that he couldn't find fault in Aunt Miyuki for killing his father if he was the one who attacked her. He nodded his head towards Miyuki as if indicating that he understood her words and won't think like that.

Miyuki was relieved as she saw this, she left his hug and let out a sigh of relief, she looked towards both of them cuddling and put her hand on her forehead as she let out a chuckle, after some time, she ordered both of them, "Let's go to the Academy now or we will be late."

It was war time so the children of 5 years old could take admission into the academy, it was quite ruthless for parents to send their children in the academy when they were just 5 years old.

And as soon as they graduated, they were asked to step into the battlefield, the battlefield didn't see their age, it only saw power and skill. If the child was skilled enough or powerful enough, he could survive if not then he would add himself to the list of dead ninjas.

Miyuki and Kansuke understood this hard fact but as they saw that the war was close to coming to an end, they didn't mind them going in the academy early, they would just start learning early and become ninjas.

They were confident that by the time these two graduated, the war would have come to an end already. With that, all three of them left for the Konoha Academy…

~~

There were many parents who had come to escort their children for the first day of their academy. There were children from many different clans, the Hyuuga Clan, Inuzuka Clan, Yamanaka Clan, Nara Clan, Akimichi Clan, Aburame Clan and Uchiha Clan. There were also the war orphans as well as the children of civilians.

As this was the war time and the village needed ninjas quickly, the graduation exam was quite simple to perform. It was ruthless for the children but for the village to survive, it was necessary.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the God of Shinobi, the Third Hokage was standing on a stage as he glanced over at the number of students that have decided to take admission into the academy.

He coughed up a few times as he gathered everyone's attention to himself, his loud voice could be heard by every person standing in front of him, "Ehem… I am happy to see a greater number of students taking admission in the Konoha Academy. I hope to see you become reputed ninjas who can protect the village and also carry on the 'Will of Fire'."

All the parents started to clap as they heard his words, the children didn't understand much but they followed their parents as they also started to clap. The third Hokage seemed satisfied as he heard the clapping sounds and got down from the stage, he went towards his office.

Shun smiled a little as he was finally going to start training to be a real ninja, he stepped inside the Academy as the teachers entered the class and introduced themselves one by one.

The first one was the theory teacher, he started teaching them the basics of the Energy with which they used their Jutsus or techniques. Chakra, it was basically the combination of Yin and Yang energies, the Yang Chakra being the Physical Manifestation while the Yin Chakra was Spiritual Manifestation of Chakra.

Shun intently listened to their explanation and theories of Chakra, he didn't know why but he found these theories, these explanations truly interesting. After the Theory Classes, it was the practical Class, the teacher asked them to pick up Kunais and Shuriken's and start throwing it towards their targets.

The teachers did show them how it is done, Shun observed their movements very carefully as he waited for his turn to come. He saw many other students mimicking the teacher and their weapon wouldn't even reach the Target.

There was one boy who did hit the targets but his aim was too bad, his name was Fugaku Uchiha, one of the most talented boys among the Uchihas. Shun looked down towards his hands and noticed some bruises on his hands, some cuts and other things.

Shun deduced that Fugaku must have practiced this Kunai throwing and Shuriken throwing many times before even joining the Academy. He felt an urge to start training as he didn't want to be behind someone, he wanted to be the top student in the academy.

Soon enough, it was his turn to throw the Kunai and Shuriken, only the boys from Uchiha Clan knew him, he was someone who was hailed as a prodigy in the Uchiha Clan. He started speaking when he was 3 months old and in another 3 months, he was able to speak proficiently.

And he started to walk in 7 months, and was able to walk proficiently in an year. This was the reason why the Uchihas considered him a prodigy, if word got out that he unlocked his Sharingan at the age of 5 Years old then he would be called out by Clan Head and be groomed into becoming the next Clan head.

He still didn't know that he had unlocked the Sharingan, besides, he didn't know how to use his chakra at this moment. He let out a long breath as he stared at the targets in front of him, his eyes remained focused completely on the target in front of him, ignoring the rest of the world.

There were only 2 things in this world for him, his weapon and the Target, the dummy in front of him. He remembered the way the teacher had thrown the Kunai and Shuriken at the Dummy and started thinking about it 'Many students imitated the Teacher and failed to deliver their Kunai and Shuriken at the target while Fugaku didn't imitate the teacher and was able to strike the target with his weapons.'

'So, the problem must be because of the difference in physical capabilities, they are more comfortable with that pose due to their practice as well as their physical capabilities. Now, all I have to do is throw this kunai and Shuriken with as much strength as possible without worrying about my posture. Atleast, I would be able to strike the target.'
