The Touch of Death

Chapter 4: Academy



When we entered the academy gate with Naori, we saw many children with their parents. Naori was looking for something with her eyes and seemed to have found it. I followed her gaze and saw people with a fan on their back. We walked towards them. When we approached our clanmates, Naori and I greeted them. There were only 3 adults with children. All of them were girls. I recognized one. Her name is Rei Uchiha, she is an elite chunin of the clan. And next to her is her daughter Hana Uchiha, they say she is talented. Then there are children that I do not know about. While we were standing, I decided to study the people around me.

The first ones I encountered were representatives of the Inuzuka clan. They are easily recognized by the characteristic stripes on their cheeks. They had ten children. An interesting fact is that almost 90 percent of the Inuzuka clan are girls, I do not know how this works. Basically, a female Inuzuka sleeps with a man for one night, after which a child is born. So, of the children who entered the academy, there is only 1 boy.

Next is the Yamonaka clan, the only ones who look at this clan without fear are the Akemichi and Nara clans. They are standing next to each other. Next is the rival clan.

The Hyuga clan. How glad I am that I did not transfer to this clan. Everyone knows about the seal, but did you know that the Hyuga marry close relatives? No? And how do they have 100% awakening of the eyes, for everything in this world you have to pay. In the Uchiha clan there were smart guys who wanted to imitate the Hyuga, but they were quickly shut up. If a member of the clan falls in love with a commoner, no one will stop him. Because the consequences can be severe. There is a clear example in the form of Obito. But if he became smarter, then other Uchihas with their heads can be even worse. The only one who is forbidden to choose is the heir and the girl he marries. And even then, if one of them objects to the marriage, no one will make a big deal out of it, they will just find a replacement. Then the Hyuga clan has a nasty tradition. The right of the first night, I think you understand what it means by the name. Yes, a member of the main family (that's the elders and their children and the clan head) can fuck your wife on the first day of marriage. And if she was not a virgin, the seal is publicly turned on for both of you. Why do you need to do this, you ask? The point is to show status. Of course, at first there will be hatred, but such people just break over time. Neji was lucky, I think the clan head protected him. And believe me, they are broken almost from birth. The root and the Hyuga clan are almost the same. I think that's why Danzo did not take them into his organization. Where did you get such details? So this is the worst enemy of the Uchiha clan at that time. Of course, some stories can be fiction or greatly exaggerated. I still can't figure out the truth

. Then my gaze fell on the Kurama clan. There was a girl with her parents. This clan used to be able to compete with the Uchiha in genjutsu. Of course, this is not the canon time, but they have started to forget about the Kurama clan's genjutsu. This girl had red hair. Looking at her mother, one can conclude that the Kurama clan is trying to improve their physical condition. (In canon, they were 0 in physical strength.) How did I come to this conclusion? Well, her mother has blood-red hair. Now do you understand? They accepted a refugee from the Uzumaki clan into their clan. The Uchiha also have about 5 people. The man standing next to them in a chunin jacket did not stand out in any way. Why was I so focused on them? I am very interested in their kekei genkai, and I intend to befriend the girl. At that moment, she looked at me, I nodded to her, she just snorted and turned away. Hey, who's an Uchiha? This is going to be harder than I thought. I thought, suppressing a sigh. Naori laughed behind me.

Aburame Clan. They're interesting because they're the only clan that can experiment on people. (On suicide bombers, of course.) I think it's clear what kind of reputation they have in the village.

Hatake Clan. They have more than 2 members. They're a medium-sized clan that started out as samurai.

Lee Clan. A family that specializes in taijutsu. They're a small clan with a small number of people.

Shimura Clan. They specialize in wind elements. The family has recently become stronger, but they're still just an ordinary family.

Sarutobi Clan Uncrowned kings. Specialize in the element of fire. The clan is part of the big eight. (Previously there were 9 after the disappearance of the Senju clan there were 8.) This eight includes clans: Hyuga, Aburame, Inuzuka, Nara, Akemichi, Yamonaka, Sarutobi, Uchiha. You might think that the union of 3 clans should lead the political arena. But no, there are too many pitfalls. Which I do not know about, so I do not undertake to assume.

Having finished the inspection, I was attracted by exclamations. Turning around, I saw him. Great and terrible. Death of enemies and the heart of the village. A man who embodies the will of fire. Sarutobi Hiruzen. It's funny that he is the first person from the canon that I saw. Here he is still young, standing confidently, and in his eyes there is a fire of ambition. But looking at him, it seems that this man bears the entire weight of the world. I understand why people follow him.

"I greet everyone gathered here today." After waiting for the cheers to end, the Hokage said. "I have been wandering this land for many years. I have seen war, I have seen peace. I have visited different countries, but wherever I have been, I have never seen what I see in the inhabitants of this village. It can be opened and shown to everyone." Then he looked in the direction of what I understood to be the former Senju clan. "Or it can be locked behind locks." Then he looked in our direction. "But if necessary, these locks will open without hesitation. This is what is in every person in this village. This is the will of fire. What is the will of fire? It is support, understanding, the bonds that you build with your comrades. And faith in the future. You might think that I am some kind of fool telling fairy tales. But no, I have seen this more than once! " The Hokage said in a loud voice. "Ask any shinobi of our village and they will tell you that they witnessed this. Now you are the future wills of fire. I know that you will not understand it now, I did not understand either. But in time, you will become an extension of this will! When that moment comes, it will be decisive. Will you follow your heart? " He said when he heard the cries of support. "I do not expect an answer now, no. I wish that when I leave, you will carry my fire and the fire of past generations forward. And pass it on just as I pass it on to you." With these words, he finished his speech. To say that everyone was amazed by his words is to say nothing. I myself stood and listened to his every word. After he finished, the crowd exploded with cheers. I do not know how to describe what I feel, but after this speech, I wanted to kill my entire clan. Okay, kidding.

Pov. Uchiha Keitsu. "So your son has entered the academy. Sara. I will make sure that he becomes an Uchiha. But even with this I cannot repay the debt I owe you. I never got the courage to look at your grave. Forgive me." Uchiha Keitsu said with a bow and disappeared, and the tombstone remained standing in the sun breaking through the clouds. It says Uchiha Sara on it.
