Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Today was the day the academy finally started. Fujin woke at 5 am, freshened up, and went through his morning workout. After completing it and having a bath, he ran to the academy.

The academy started at 8 am. He was assigned to class 4A, on the fourth floor. On entering the class, he saw that quite a few had already arrived. There were over 25 students already in there. He entered and sat on one of the unoccupied benches. He noticed that most of the people in here were from the ninja clans. They wore the crest of their clan on their backs.

Fujin wondered, 'This classroom ain't big, at most 40 would fit in. Does that mean there are over 10 divisions in my year?'

At 8, Adachi Genki sensei arrived. He first distributed identity cards to everyone. He then introduced himself. On arriving he introduced himself, "Welcome to the academy. I'm Adachi Genki and I'll be your class teacher for this year. How about we get to know each other first. I'll tell you guys more about myself. I'm a chuunin of Konoha and fought in the previous great ninja war. My hobby is to watch drama and I like to teach young kids like yourself, how about you guys start to introduce yourself."

And with that all the kids started to introduce themselves. The ones from clans telling their clan with pride. Fujin took the opportunity to understand the composition of his class.

The class had 30 kids. Apparently there were 2 Uchiha, 3 Hyuga, 2 each from Nara, Yamanaka and Akimichi, 3 Inuzuka, 1 Aburame, 1 each from Sarutobi, Shimura, Kato and Hatake clans and surprisingly 3 from Senju and 2 from Kurama clan. Other 6, including Fujin, were normal civilians.

After the students were done talking about themselves, Genki started talking again. He said, "Alright, first I'll explain to you about your position. This year 430 students passed the entrance exam. However you 30 are the ones who have scored the highest. That's why everyone has very high expectations of each of you guys. All of you have to strive to become very good and strong shinobi. That's why an elite like me is assigned to your class. In addition, other teachers too would assist you when required. You will also be provided access to the academy library's E and D section. Also, there will be special tests conducted for you guys every 6 months, which will be monitored by Lord Hokage himself! So work as hard as you can."

Everyone was filled with pride after this speech. And also became a lot more attentive. Fujin thought, "Lucky me. This seems like an elite classroom. I guess I can have any queries resolved quickly. Also those 2 sections in the library, I guess they should be sections having rank E and rank D jutsus. I wonder if there are sections with higher ranked jutsus, and whether I can sneak in. Well I should give it a proper tour soon."

Since this was the first day, Genki gave them a tour of the academy. They were shown all the classrooms, the library, training grounds, canteen area. In training grounds, various areas were shown like running track, obstacle race track, shooting area, balancing area which had a lot of poles and so on. There was also a small pond at the far end of the training grounds.

After the tour was over, they went back to the class. Genki explained to them what all they'll be learning this year. It seemed to mostly be basics. They were supposed to be taught about chakra, hand signs, chakra control, Taijutsu, theory of Genjutsu, shuriken throwing along with normal stuff like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Language, History, Geography and Civics. After that, the class was dismissed for the day.

After the class was dismissed, Fujin left quickly and headed towards the library. However, on the way to the library, he ran into Daisuke and Tatsuya. Daisuke called out to him, "Hey Fujin"

Fujin turned around to see him, he said, "Hey, how are you doing? How was the class?" Daisuke replied, "It was fun, we took a trip of the whole academy." Fujin replied, "Yeah, so did we. By the way, how many students are there in your class?"

Daisuke replied, "Oh? There are a hundred, ain't that the case in every class?" Tatsuya joined in the conversation saying, "Yup, it is the same in my class."

Fujin said, "I see. No, in mine there are only 30 students." Daisuke said, "Huh, why's that?" Not wanting to make him feel bad or having to answer more questions, Fujin said that he wasn't sure. After that Daisuke asked whether Fujin wanted to go home with them. Fujin excused himself saying he had some work.

Separating himself from them, Fujin started to go to the library again. On route he grabbed a ration bar and ate it while thinking, 'I see. So my class has just 30 students, whereas others have a hundred each. So in all there are 5 divisions. If I were to guess and looking at what all Genki said today, our class is probably being trained in the hopes that everyone either becomes a Jounin or at least an elite chuunin. Whereas for others, the main target seems to be to boost the genin reserve and if lucky have a few chuunins and jounins from there.'

On entering the library, he showed his card to the librarian, and asked for directions. After getting the info, he understood that the library is divided into 7 sections. It had a general section having non-ninja related information, section 0 where there was basic information related to ninjas, and sections E, D, C, B and A. Sections A, B and C were restricted for me right now.

Fujin thought, 'I see, makes sense. There isn't any S section, but that's understandable that they won't put that high level jutsus out in the open. To be honest, I'm surprised that there is section A. Anyways, let's go explore it.'

Fujin skipped the general section and started from section 0. He skimmed through the titles of various scrolls to get an idea regarding what was here. He found a lot of basic but important stuff. Information related to chakra theories, chakra control, manipulation, nature manipulation, Fuinjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu were all mentioned here. So was a lot of historical information.

He then went on to the sections E and D. There most of the scrolls were just rank E and rank D jutsus. He thought, 'Wow, I didn't expect this! There are literally hundreds of different jutsu scrolls here. A lot of wind style jutsus are available too. And section E has a scroll called 'Introduction to Fuinjutsu', whereas section D has a better book on the same. This would be very helpful.'

It took him more than a couple of hours to just skim through the titles of various scrolls. After that, he went back to section 0, grabbed a scroll named 'Introduction to hand signs'. And went to an isolated corner and sat there. There were very few people in the library, so there wasn't anyone to disturb him.

Fujin thought to himself, 'Alright, I have seen through the majority of the stuff, now that I finally have some resources, I need to do some planning as to what I should do at least for the next couple of years.'
