Team 8 (Part-1)
(1 Year Later)
Okami sits on the ground near the academy training ground, While Old Lady, brought the happy Naruto to enroll in the academy.
During this past year, Naruto was super happy and excited, first because he is constantly finding people who do not hate him... Second because his little Apartement is getting constantly fill. Before it was Okami, then it was the Old Lady, Third, because they celebrate his birthday with him.
Naruto's structure is getting better as well, since, the old lady forces him to eat things other than ramen itself.
-------
Okami sits on the grassy ground as he watched a student running in circles for some time now.
For some reason, Okami stood up and start running beside the academy student.
!!!!
"Who are you?"
"..."
"My name is Rock Lee, I am gonna be a super-strong ninja without Ninjutsu or Genjutsu"
"..."
Okami never said anything but kept running beside Lee.
"Why aren't you saying anything, do you also think it's impossible for me to become strong without Ninjutsu or Genjutsu", Lee was depressed
"..."
"I will prove it to you, My Hard Work will defeat any and all kinds of Geniuses"
-------
"Grandma, what are they doing?", Naruto asks while pointing at Lee and Okami, who was just running around in circles.
The Old lady smiled, "Well, I guess, he just found a rival"
"Rival?"
The Old lady smiled, "Let's go, Boy, I will treat you ramen, Let Okami have his time"
"Yatta"
-------
A few hours later, Lee was lying on the ground, huffing with all his might, while Okami just stood there, watching the badly breathing Lee.
"You are... so good", Lee was deadly tired at this point.
Okami was just a little tired even after all that running after all his entire body is filled with spiritual energy, which reinforces his stamina to the brim whenever he was tired.
Him getting a Little Tired is not a small feat either...
While Lee does not have such a good thing. He only has himself and his hard work to rely on.
But no one knows that.
"Boy, Let's go, It's Getting Late to open workshop", came the voice of Old Lady from afar.
"..."
Okami without any indication just moved towards her.
"Hey, will you be here tomorrow", Lee asked feeling expectant, after all, this was the first time, someone actually trained with him, without looking down at him, Someone just treats him equally without mocking his dream of becoming super strong shinobi.
"..."
Okami never said anything... he just moved towards her.
"Hey, did you have fun?"
"..."
She sighed, and together they went back to the store, where his teaching continued.
The Next Day, he was there running beside 9 Year Old Lee.
While the old lady watched him running with soft and kind eyes.
-------
3 Year Later, Old Lady died of Old Age.
Okami stood there, at the graveyard, where he buried her, alongside his grandmother's grave.
'I Just hope that you could move on', those were the last words, he remembered her saying to him.
With tears in his eyes, he wishes that he was never born. He, the cursed being that only causes death and misery to people around him.
"Hey, are you alright?", asked Naruto, who was standing beside him
"Yes", Okami said in a very soft tone.
!!!
Naruto's facial expressions changed, "Y-You talked"
Okami smiled sadly and patted Naruto's shoulders, "I will be at the workshop, please leave me alone for some time"
"..."
Naruto was sad but eventually nodded.
-------
Kakashi sighed as he kept on watching Okami who cried and cried carrying her clothes.
Okami spends his entire night in the workshop.
The Next Day, the Village's only Blacksmith daughter, Ten-Ten delivered two fancy looking Black twin daggers to the workshop.
He smiled gently and stroked the daggers, as he knows that Grandma especially collected material and money for these fancy looking black daggers.
"Thank you", He said softly
"Hey, It's alright", Ten-Ten Grinned.
Suddenly her grin disappeared, "Hey, were you... crying?"
Okami smiled gently at her, and the closed the door.
??
Question marks appeared over her head, But she merely shrugged and let go.
After all, they do not know each other at all. Her father received the payment, and she delivered the goods that's all the relationship they have with each other.
-------
Okami always trained with the techniques and the method told to him by the voice in his head.
The voice of the black wolf, as it carried on with Okami's education and training.
He also trained in the Secret and dangerous soul arts of the Old Lady. Left by her for him.
-------
Just Like that, another year passed, and since Okami carried on the will of Old Airi, He was given the title of Genin.
But Hokage didn't give Okami a Jonin as his teacher or a 4 man team either. Because Okami is not academy trained. He is personally trained by Jonin Airi.
Granting a 4 man team will imbalanced the team structure, and no matter how much overqualified he is for academy students. Jonins and 4 man team are only given to the Academy Graduates.
Hokage sighed, Every Genin is given a teacher, no exception. He can assign anyone that isn't a Jonin to Okami.
But he only wants the best of this boy, This boy who has received the will and teachings of Airi.
So, Hokage assigned the best Chunnin to Okami.
Chunnin Yuhi Kurenai, the Genjutsu Mistress, Hokage decided to make her Special Jonin, her achievements demand such action.
Okami was 13 Year Old when he received the title of Genin.
And his teacher was assigned to be Newly promoted Special Jonin Yuhi Kurenai.
