Rito was suddenly shaken out of his sleep as his alarm rang "man it doesn't matter what world im in that sound will never not be annoying" he quickly got up and changed into his clothes
He soon left his apartment leaving the key under the welcome mat, he jogged to the village gate to start his laps. As he started running around Konoha he couldn't help but marvel at his body's strength. He was already half way done with his first lap and he wasn't even sweating, if this was the old me I'd be panting and stopping already.
He kept running, admiring the view of Konoha, the usually lively market place had a nice quiet feeling to it as everyone was asleep. He smiled at the sight unknown to him; his resolve had just strengthened. It has always been his dream to be in Naruto now that he is he won't let harm befall Konoha's people.
As he was starting his 2nd lap he saw somebody running opposite to him and closing the distance fast, he subconsciously shifted to a sloppy defensive stance but relaxed as he saw the unmistakable large eyebrows.
Might guy soon came into view "YOSH such splendid youth! To be training at this hour I must know your name" Rito chuckled at it and answered "I'm Rito it's very nice to meet you"
Might Guy shifted to his usual nice guy pose. Big smile and thumbs up. He said " YOSH Rito Kun if you keep training like this you will surely become a formidable shinlobi"
Rito suddenly had an idea. Might Guy was known as the best taijutsu user recognized by Madara himself. If he can train with him for a bit the knowledge he'll gain will be great.
"Thank you Guy san, yes that is my dream to become strong so I can protect my loved ones, Guy san would you like to train with me?"
Might Guy started shedding tears as he said "what youth Rito kun may your flames of youth always burn bright" " I train with my father Might Duy we usually train outside our house I'm just catching up on training as I was on a mission Yesterday and couldn't train"
Rito thought oh so hes a genin already that means Team Minato is in formation hopefully I can run into them.
Might Guy Continued Speaking " Rito Kun if you want to train with us just meet us at our house its right next to training ground 3, i must keep moving now Rito Kun I cant waste a second of my youth good luck with your training I hope To see you there"
With that Might Guy quickly speed off into the distance they continued running by each other as Ritoo ended his morning training he quickly went home showered and jogged to the academy
In the academy Chojiro sensei was giving a lesson about the first shinobi world war. I look to my right and asked Genma "would you like to train with me after class, I'm going over to Might guys house to train my taijutsu"
Genma thought about it for a second and answered "Yea sure I can't have the new kid start to beat me in spars"
Yugao heard this and chimed in "hey if you guys are training after I want to join too"
Rito smiled and answered " of course Yugao san you are welcome to join"
As Chojiro sensei kept talking about the war I opened my System panel to check the notifications that had popped up during training.
[Stats went up due to training]

LVL 1 [XP needed for next level up 25/50] + 1 stat point

Ok 2 increase in strength, and speed went up also, im almost at academy student level, i really should hit the library my intelligence is way behind as im thinking this Chojiro sensei ask me a question
"Rito I asked you once already who did the First Hokage Fight at the valley of the end, you wouldn't have to stay quiet if you just paid attention instead of looking out the window"
I grinned and answered " Madara Uchiha and the Nine tails"
Chojiro sensei looked surprised but then a glint of anger flashed in his eyes at being wrong he looked at me and spoke "lucky guess start paying attention okay"
I bluffed him and said "I would but the lessons are so dull I already know all this"
Chojiro looked ready to blow at my disrespect but he composed himself and said "okay Rito since you claim to be so smart then how about i ask you some questions if you get them all right then ill end the lesson here and we can go do shuriken training but if you get one wrong then it's double the homework for you and all your peers"
I looked around at all the angry faces starting at me then from my right I hear "you got this stick it to him" I smiled as i look at Genma then i replied " ok i accept Chojiro sensei"
Chojiro sensei looked surprised. I guess that little intimidation usually works but he started asking questions which I had all the answers to thanks to the anime.
"What are the 3 hokages names"
Hashirama senju, Tobirama senju And HIruzen Sarutobi
"What jutsu did the first Hokage wield to capture all the tailed beast"
Wood release

Konohagakure, Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Sunagakure, Iwagakure
+1INT
"What where the two founding clans of Konoha"
Senju And Uchiha
"Who are the legendary Sanin"
I quickly say "Chojiro sensei we haven't covered the 2nd shinobi world war yet but they were Orochimaru, Tsunade Senju, And Jiraya"
Chojiro can't stand being bested by a kid so he asked a question which he has not covered the answer for yet to his surprise the brat knew the answer so he doubled down
"Who taught them"
The third Hokage
"Who gave them the title of Sanin"
Hanzo of the salamander"
+1INT
Unknown to Rito Hiruzen was looking at him through his crystal ball after exhaling a cloud of smoke he spoke to the other man in the room "this is the promising youngling I was telling you about whom I hope you'll teach"
across the desk from him stood a tall man with white hair and a tanto strapped to his back. He wore the standard Jonin uniform of Konoha.
Sakumo smiled and said "He's quite bright for someone his age but intellect can only get him so far, He's already close with that senbon chewing kid so if he doesn't choke on it he can be a part of the genin team".(yes I know Sakumo should've died already but its my fic and I love the character so He'll be alive in this one Just wait and see how Rito plays a part in his life so he doesn't kill himself)
Chojiro finally relented and told the class to meet him outside for shuriken training. The class erupted into cheers, many looking at Rito with smiles,
Genma said "you got him good you even forced him to ask questions that he hasn't covered, how did you know that answers to them anyway" I looked at Genma and quickly made up a lie. "I heard someone talking about them on my way here. I guess I was just lucky"
Genma chuckled and we started to get up to go meet sensei at the training ground when I felt a chill going down my spine. I turn around and see Yugao staring daggers at me.
She says "so you almost gave us double the homework if you weren't lucky" I tried saving face saying "It was Chojiro Sensei that cheated he shouldn't even have asked that" but she smacked me on the head and screamed "YOU WERE THE ONE BEING DISRESPECTFUL TO HIM"
I put my hands up in surrender and we all quickly went to the training grounds to start shuriken training.
At the training ground Chojiro sensei was just starting his lesson on how to hold the shuriken. When we arrived we quickly got to the back of the line and watched as many civilian kids did their first attempt.
All of them missed horrendously but that's to be expected. I mean it's our first try, only 2 kids managed to hit 1/10 targets but I haven't bothered learning their names. Some clan kids clearly had some type of training on this as they all scored 4/10 to 6/10. Those were Zabe Inuzuka, Shiroku Nara, Tando Aburame, and Tanko Inuzuka. They looked at me and I nodded at them.
It was now Genma's turn and i whispered "I bet i'll land more than you" he didnt reply as he just threw the shuriken to my surprise he got 9/10. Apparently that senbon in his mouth isn't just to look cool.
He looked back and said "oh yea beat that then" then walked back with a stupid smirk on his face. I shook off my amusement as it was my turn, and Chojiro sensei was handing me the shuriken and kunai's. I grabbed them by how he taught us and thought "please let me hit just one" I threw them and 5/10 hit, putting me right at the middle of the class a system notification suddenly popped up but I left it for later thinking I knew what it was.
It was now Yugaos Turn and as she was grabbing the ninja tools we heard a scream and turned around. "HEY WHY DIDN'T ANYONE WAKE ME UP FOR SHURIKEN TRAINING" It was Raido Naimiashi, Genma went up to him scratching the back of his head while chuckling "hahaha I… forgot" Raiido deadpanned and quickly got behind Yugao
Yugao threw the ninja tools landing 4/10, it was now Raido's turn since he always slept no one was really paying attention as we assumed he'd miss them all. But he actually hit 7/10 putting him under Genma. He walked back to our group and introduced himself to me
"Hey I'm Raido It's good to meet you, how many did you land" I smiled and answered "Nice to meet you Raido san, Im Rito Uzumaki, I landed 5/10 placing me under some clan kids and Genma" he looked to Genma and asked "how many did you get" Genma smiled and said "9/10"
Raido didn't look surprised so im guessing they've trained together already as they were good friends in the anime. The day continued with shuriken training going on until 3pm.
After the academy Genma Yugao and Rito all walked toward Might Guys house making idle chatter along the way. Before getting there Rito warned them " Guy san might be a little much at times but hes a good shinobi from what ive seen and based on his knuckles he trains hard and can probably beat all of us at once in taijutsu"
Both of the nodded and prepared themselves but no amount of preparing is enough for meeting Konohas Blue beast.
They soon reached the hut that was Might Duys house, I guess being a Genin forever doesn't really pay much. They heard thumps and groans and walked to the noise. Soon in th etraining grounds they saw both father and son sparring.
They waited until it was over to introduce themselves., but Might Duy noticed them and stopped the spar. Might Guy spoke "YOSH Rito Kun you came, Father this is the boy I told you about earlier and he brought his friends, how youthful"
He struck his nice guy pose as he introduced himself to Genma and Yugao "Very nice to meet you Im MIght Guy Let your flames of Youth Burn brighter than the sun"
Genma and Yugao got over their schock and seeing matching pairs of spandex suits and comically large eyebrows and introduced themselves. Might Duy then Spoke "Guy this is the boy who was running around Konoha this morning?" "Yes father"
Duy exclaimed "hello then RIto Kun Genma Kun and Yugao Chan Lets get started on training we are wasting precious YOUTH" him and the guy started hugging and talking about youth. When Genma muttered "are you sure theyre strong they look pretty weird to me"
Yugao stayed silent but nodded when she heard it. Might Duy soon ordered us to start a workout he gave us while him and guy sparred. After completing our 100 push ups squats and situps under Might Duys recommendation Genma and Yugao Sat down exhausted and waited until theyre turn to spar came.
I continued because I had 200 more of each to get to to claim my daily task for the system. When Might Duy and Guy finished sparring and saw me still doing pushups they asked Genma If I had done extra he answered "yes he is on his 3rd set already" they quickly started doing push ups together with me.
Duy said "Yosh Guy we will have to up our training if not RIto Kun will catch up" Guy answered " yes father I shall do 300 pushups before he finishes his last set of 100, if i can't i will run around Konoha 10 times on my hands, if i cant…
I quickly interrupted and said "Guy san while training hard is a must, recovery is also important" both Guy and Duy Screamed About Youth as we finished the workout. I let Genma AND Yugao spar first since I had punches and kicks to do.
I was about to start on my 3rd set of 300 kicks followed by 300 punches when Duy's voice broke me out of training "come here Rito Kun its time for our spar" I look at Genma and Yugao who are now huffing and holding their bodies while resting on a tree and laugh"
Duy said " I will limit myself to genin speeds and strength try to survive as long as you can"
I answered "alright Duy san lets start"
In the blink of an eye Duy was in front of me punching with his right hand. My instincts took over as I put my hands up and crossed them to block. The force of the punch sent me skidding back a few feet.
Duy quickly spun using the momentum of his punch to throw a spinning heel kick, i ducked under it and moved back to make some space, but Duy was unrelenting. He was on me again throwing a flurry of punches and kicks going high going low. I dodged what I could and blocked what I couldn't but many of his strikes got past my guard.
He stopped mid spar and said "your very resilient Rito Kun Genma and Yugao had both quit by now, your flames of youth burn brighter than the sun" then he was on me again. He roundhouse kicked me which i blocked then we quickly spun and swept me off my feet.
I rolled on the ground getting to my feet again as i was met with a punch going straight for my face, i managed to dodge it but the wind ruffled my hair it was here that i saw an opening, our faces were 3 inches away so i tried to headbutt him, guy quickly sped backwards but I couldn't stop my momentum as I fell on the dirt.
Duy said "alright that is enough for today you all did splendid, feel free to come back anytime we can all bask in our youth together isn't that right Guy' "yes father" "GUY" "FATHER".
Before things could get any weirder we left. There wasn't much chatter on the way back as it was already getting dark and we were all hurting from the spars. As we reached the end of the market place, Yugao bid us goodnight and separated to go on her way home.
Me and Genma kept walking with neither separating until we both went into the same building. I asked him "you live here too?" he scratched the back of his head and said "yea apartment 305"
"WHAT!" " I'm in 304" we both laughed as we realized we are neighbors we walked up the stairs bantering about who got beat worse today. As we neared our doors we said our goodbyes and parted ways for the night.
I waited until he went in to leave for a training ground as I wasn't done with my daily training.
As I get to the training ground it's empty so I start punching and kicking a tree. Im about done when i hear a voice behind me "Rito kun training so hard might hurt your growing body" I turn around and see Hiruzen i bow and say "Hokage sama I was just finishing my training for the day, I know recovery is just as important" Hiruzen looks… satisfied I think.
He talks to me about the academy, if i made friends, even my training with Duy which i was surprised he knew about as it was only a few hours ago. Then I remembered his peeping ball.
I asked him how he knew about that but he just chuckled and said " I'm the Hokage. It's my job to know" I then ask him why he came to see me. He reached inside his Hokage outfit and pulled out a scroll he handed it to me and said "here this is a scroll on how to unlock your chakra. First year students usually do this in the academy but as you're from a clan I wanted to give it to you before". I bow and say thanks then we both depart for the night.
