Colt returned to his home after the Anbu took Mizuki away.

And the Third Hokage had no intention of summoning him.

This was somewhat unexpected.

He didn't even get called in;

'The old man's heart must be too big.'

How could Colt know that the Third was lost imagining strange scenarios about his lineage?

The night passed silently.

Colt woke up early in the morning and started preparing breakfast.

Routine days were still so dull, with no real excitement after becoming a ninja.

After breakfast, he didn't rush to go to the ninja academy.

Instead, he started his daily morning training regimen.

It wasn't until half-past eight that he put on his black suit and tied his forehead protector to his arm.

Looking at the handsome young man in the mirror…

Colt sighed.

'My future wives really lucked out.'

Before leaving, Colt silently reminded Ichibi.

"If I come back and find anything out of place...I'll make sure you'll feel miserable."

Rubbing the ninja dog's head, Colt said the most terrifying words in the gentlest tone.

As a ninken, Ichibi naturally understood his words and quickly put on a silly, cute expression.

Colt smiled, he was just trying to give a light warning, no real malice.

For now, things looked good.

Even as he was leaving, Ichibi called out twice to say goodbye.

At nine o'clock, he entered the classroom right on time.

At this time, there were already many people in the classroom, talking in groups.

"Morning, Colt."

Choji was already eating as usual but did greet him as he saw him.

Shikamaru also raised his hand, greeting him lazily.

"Morning, Choji, Shikamaru."

After a round of greetings, Colt made his way to Ino and Hinata's side.

Although it was just a ninja forehead protector, a mark of ordinary ninja status, they wore it differently.

Hinata had the forehead protector around her neck like a collar.

And Ino was even more exaggerated, tying the forehead protector directly around her slender waist.

The wide metal plate was in stark contrast to her lithe frame, and Colt felt his mouth go a little dry seeing it. (E/N: It's not me lol, I don't know about this with them being 12 y/o or something, but at least they're the same age.)

Those really were exaggerated body proportions.

Although Hinata's "assets" weren't inferior to Ino's, she wore too modest clothing year-round.

Such a strong visual impact couldn't be achieved.

Feeling Colt's burning gaze, Ino smiled smugly, not shy at all, instead leaning in closer.

A woman aims to please, and Ino was naturally happy attracting the boy she loved.

The faint fragrance of the girl entered Colt's nose.

"Colt, I don't want to be separated from you!"

Holding his arms with both hands, she said coyly.

As a member of the new Ino-Shika-Cho, her team assignment was already doomed.

Colt also whispered comforting words.

Hinata poked her fingers silently, feeling a little uneasy. She naturally also wanted to be placed on the same team as Colt.

At this time, there was a commotion, courtesy of Naruto's arrival.

His becoming a ninja surprised many.

Naruto excitedly flaunted his new ninja status, but no one paid him any mind.

The girls swarmed around Sasuke, showing their fangirlism.

There were only two good-looking guys in class, as such aside from Colt who was already taken by the two beauties, only Sasuke was left for them to fawn over.

Sakura was also in that crowd, which upset Naruto even more.

Brashly jumping onto the table in front of Sasuke, the two began butting heads.

Naruto glared at him, and Sasuke couldn't back down to maintain his superiority, the distance between them decreasing.

Soon, their noses would be touching.

Colt watched this scene speechlessly, knowing what would eventually transpire.

"Hinata, Ino."

"Hmm?"

"Listen to me, close your eyes, some things are better left unseen to protect your innocence."

What?

The two girls were still wondering when Colt pulled them into his embrace, covering their eyes.

Immediately after.

The boy sitting in front of Sasuke started a perfect assist, unconsciously leaning backward.

Naruto lost his balance, resulting in a direct, intimate collision with Sasuke's lips.

!!

At this moment, time stopped.

The two widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at each other.

Naruto's eyes reflected Sasuke, and Sasuke's reflected Naruto.

At that moment, they only had each other in their gaze.

The classroom fell silent for three long seconds before Sakura shrieked angrily.

"Ah! Naruto! How could you!"

The two separated in haste.

Colt could clearly see that, ahem, a little lip action had occurred.

Sure enough, those two were truly meant for each other, as for Sakura...

He suspected Sasuke only married her to have an excuse to return to Konoha.

…

Sakura: "Come back, I missed you."

Sasuke: "I am atoning for my sins."

Naruto: "Come back, Sas- "

Sasuke: "Time to go home."

...

Hokage's Office.

A group of jonin instructors, led by the Third Hokage, witnessed this scene.

"Cough, cough!

"Looks like a little accident happened."

"Let's move on to team assignments."

The Third tried to divert the topic, a bit embarrassed, though he thought to himself that the future of the Uchiha line and Fourth Hokage should not end there.

"Kakashi, the Team 7 trio will be handed to you. They are the future of Konoha, you must give them your full attention."

Kakashi had a headache coming.

Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Colt, and Haruno Sakura.

Except for the last one, none of the three were exactly easy students, each bigger trouble than the last.

But he couldn't refuse, only nod his fate.

After all the jonin left, the Third held Kakashi back.

"Colt has awakened the Uchiha's Sharingan bloodline, possibly even the Mangekyo."

"Kakashi, that's why I assigned him to you. Only you can teach him how to use the Sharingan."

As soon as he dropped that bomb, Kakashi's soul almost left his body.

Uchiha blood?

Recalling Colt's terrifying ninja talent, Kakashi doubted he could even beat the genin.

"Lord Third, I'll do my best."

Looking at Kakashi's wry smile, the Third could only nod.

It was an established fact that Colt had awakened the Sharingan, and now the Uchiha clan was gone.

This was a power that belonged to the village alone.

In order for Colt to better protect Konoha, some sacrifices had to be made.

However, aside from Kakashi, he had also made other first-hand preparations.
