CH 9 PARTY AND PRACTICE

"CHEERS!" Naruto shouted.

"Thank you for the treat, Mito," Naruto said while enjoying his ramen.

"Yeah, do you like it?" asked Mito.

"Yeah, ramen is amazing, dattebayo!" replied Naruto.

Mito celebrated a small party with Naruto, offering ramen and juice, and a small gift for him—a Anbu mask. Naruto had wanted it, but the previous owner, a jerk, had insulted him.

Though Naruto and Mito were the same age, Mito had the mind of an adult, which is why she treated Naruto like her little brother.

"Mito, where did you get so much money?" asked Naruto.

Once again, Mito was in confusion about how to give a solid answer.

"Hehe, I got some money from Aunt Mikoto. She asked me to visit," Mito said with relief.

"Oh, right, the Uchiha clan. I heard some news about them. I wonder about Sasuke too. I hope he's okay," Naruto said.

Though it was a huge success for Mito, she still felt bad for everyone in the Uchiha clan and all the other members of the village, especially the innocent children.

But Mito was also happy and almost dancing with joy because she had unlocked her new jutsu—the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

"I was waiting for this jutsu so much. Now I can simply go from one place to another in just a minute. I'm definitely going to mark everywhere that's important. It's like having an anywhere door to me," Mito said with a big smile.

TIME SKIP 6 MONTHS

MITO UZUMAKI, 8 YEARS OLD

"Congratulations on your 8th birthday, host," the system said.

"Thanks, system. Do you have anything?" Mito asked guiltily.

"Nope, firstly, you have to master your previous jutsu," the system said.

"Why the heck is that jutsu not working? It's been six months, but I'm still not getting the hang of it?" Mito said in frustration.

Mito had been working very hard on her new jutsu, but she just couldn't master it. However, she had mastered other Tobirama jutsus.

Mito was a popular girl in the academy. She was very good friends with almost everyone, even most of the boys like Kiba, Rock Lee, Choji, and even Shikamaru paid attention to her.

"I never thought Shikamaru would pay attention to me," said Mito while being in the class, noticing everyone.

Mito always used her clone jutsu to be in the academy while she practiced on the ground.

She was only practicing the Flying Thunder God technique and learning more and more about medical ninjutsu. Whatever money she earned was invested in books and learning different things.

"I'm progressing so slowly. At this rate, I won't be able to activate all my jutsu before Shippuden starts. Damn, I need to learn other jutsu as well. I can't be stuck on one jutsu like this," Mito said in frustration.

"It's time for the canon to start," Mito said with a serious face. Mito's bond with her brother became even stronger. She herself was handling the entire house financially.

She had even expanded her small business and made good money.

In canon Naruto, he faced a lot of financial issues, but not this time. He had everything he wanted—nice food, good clothes, yet he wore the same orange jumpsuit.

While Mito usually changed her outfit according to her mood.

Mito had grown a little, almost hitting puberty, making her look even more beautiful and hot.

Mito was able to update her template from 20% to 60% in these 4 years with the help of Clone jutsu technique.

Normal jutsu were easy for her to master in these 4 years, but some jutsu were quite tough for her. She wouldn't master them until she used them in battle.

Mito even made Naruto learn some taijutsu, but she didn't want to spoil Naruto and Iruka sensei's relationship. She knew it was important.

At this time, Naruto didn't know any jutsu, not even capable of taijutsu.

"That naughty boy just wants to eat ramen and play. This is how he's going to be Hokage. Ahh," Mito said in frustration, since she tried her best to make Naruto learn taijutsu.

"Sometimes I wonder if this is real. Am I actually in the Naruto world?" Mito muttered.

While she was in the anime world, she missed her family too. She wished she could see Kushina and Minato.

"I wish I could bring them back to life. I mean, yes, I could, but not now. It's going to take years for that," Mito said while lying and staring at the moon.

TIME SKIP, A FEW MONTHS, GRADUATION EXAM

Usually, Mito was an average student. She didn't want to attract unnecessary attention, especially from Danzo. Though she was very powerful, having a 60% template from Tobirama, she didn't want to create a mess.

This time, the story was going to change.

"Hurry up, Mito! We'll be late!" Naruto shouted, running in one spot like a cartoon character.

"Yeah, let's go," Mito replied.

Mito was ready for Rookie of the Year. She wasn't going to miss any chance to showcase herself, especially to Sasuke Uchiha, the only Uchiha left in Konoha.

IN THE ACADEMY

Iruka-sensei entered and after taking attendance, he announced the rules for Rookie of the Year.

"So, the rule for the exam is a written test, one-on-one combat fight, which will be held on the ground in front of all teachers, and three common and main jutsu which are taught in the class," Iruka-sensei announced.

"Well, the written tests were already done in the previous class, and since teachers are busy checking, marks won't be announced today," Iruka-sensei said, and the entire class shouted in joy.

They wouldn't have to be embarrassed in front of everyone. And one of the happiest faces was Naruto's. He shouted as if he had become Hokage.

EVERYONE'S POV

NARUTO'S POV

"Ahh, I haven't written a single answer in the written test. I'm going to fail. But what if I pass the other two exams? That means I can still pass. Yeah!"

SASUKE'S POV

"No one can beat me. I'm the strongest in the entire class. I wish I could have a nice fight with someone, at least."

MITO

"I can't show my entire power to everyone. But damn, Iruka-sensei just announced that every sensei is going to be there. That means even Kakashi will be there too."

INO

"I'm going to beat this new popular girl this time. How could she take my place?"

SAKURA

"Well, I don't know if I can win against anyone. Ino has the mind transfer jutsu. What do I have?"

SHIKAMARU

"Ahh, just get over with it. I just want to lay down and watch the clouds. Why do this boring fight?"

CHOJI

"What should I eat after the graduation exam?"

KIBA

"Are you ready, Akamaru?" Kiba said.

NEJI

"I hope I have a nice fight with Sasuke Uchiha. He's the only competitor who can beat me."

HINATA

"I hope Naruto doesn't lose this time. I'm sure he didn't write anything in the written test."

TENTEN

"Ready for the exam, as always."

ROCK LEE

"Sasuke Uchiha, you are my target."

"Okay, now listen, whoever gets the highest marks in all the exams will be the Rookie of the Year."

A sudden silence fell over the entire class. It was as if they hadn't expected this, and now they were more serious than ever.
