Grad

"Today's the day."

I had finally turned twelve about a month ago, she has unlocked the Rinnengan's abilities for me, I now have the seventy-five of her chakra, after my Ninth birthday she has never called me 'Son' again.

"I'll make you call me son again mother!"

I shouted right before I went to school, today was the graduation day, I could have passed and became a Jonin or ANBU, three years ago.

If somehow I'm stuck with a crappy team I'm going to plan to apply to ANBU! I can one shot Danzo repeatedly now but I have to be discreet about it but that's on the extreme case if I get stuck on a crappy team.

Why I didn't? It's too annoying and I don't want to be targeted endlessly for now.

When I got out I walked towards the academy in my usual route, I stopped by a gate and waited for Hinata.

"Good morning Yuki-kun."

"Yuuki-nii!"

Hanabi came over as she waved at me, I waved back at her, I've grown close to the Hyuga siblings over the years but Hiashi has been staring at me with daggers everytime I come here now.

"Let's go?"

"Mm!"

We walked together until we stopped on a flowershop, we waited for a minute until we both were greeted by a blonde.

"Good morning you two!"

"Morning"

"Good morning Ino-san."

After that the three of us walked to the academy, over the years this has been our routine the three of us walking towards the academy first, then right on time.

"What a drag."

Shikamaru would somehow silently join us from the back, followed by someone munching his chips loudly early in the morning, shortly when would arrive and everytime I looked behind me everyone was present as if I was the ring leader.

"Something on our faces?"

Choji asked as I scratched my cheek lips, he immediately noticed it and wiped his face, Kiba and Naruto were still bantering at the back, Sakura, well it looks like she's searching for Sasuke.

"No, its just that we're all going to graduate today, so let's all do our best!"

I smiled at them and they nodded and some had small smiles on their faces, Ino then clutched my arm and smiled at me.

"Do you have something to say to me?"

"Good luck."

I patted her head and she let go of me, I then patted Hinata's head as well and didn't say anything else, we then entered the academy.

"He certainly has the potential to be a leader."

Hiruzen looked from afar with Kakashi and Yamato, the two of them nodded, it was until Yuki had turned ten that Kakashi finally told Hiruzen, the three of them looked at Yuki who was leading the pack.

Although he told him but he left some parts out especially Yuki's true talent, he trusts the Hokage but not that by much after what happened to the Uchiha.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

Yugao had arrived, completing the remnants of Team Ro.

"You're just in time, how was observing Yuki over the past month?"

"After careful observation, I'm an unfit sensei candidate for him, he's too talented for me to handle."

Yugao shared her honest opinion after Kakashi spared with Yuki to let the two know about Yuki's prowess.

"What about ANBU?"

"He has refused, care to repeat his words Kakashi?"

"He doesn't want to be a loyal dog to the Hokage."

The two of them flinched at Yuki's remarks while Hiruzen laughed.

"Other than that statement he has said multiple times that he'd rather fight someone head to head besides fighting them in the shadows because its too annoying."

"Kakashi, mind telling the two what his Ninja way is?"

"Do I really have to?"

"Well you can if you want I won't force you."

"Then I won't."

The four of them remained silent until Hiruzen broke it.

"Yamato."

"Hokage-sama."

"I know it's late but you will be Yuki's Jonin sensei."

"And who are his teammates?"

"Just him, him alone, since he doesn't want to be an ANBU I'll respect that, but you, you have the responsibility to shape him up, teach him how to lead and restrain himself, am I right Kakashi?"

Kakashi nodded, they then left as the graduation exams were about to start.

-

When it was my turn to enter the room, I saw Iruka, he was the same as ever, he sighed looking at me perhaps nervous since even though I was beside Ino and Hinata I usually sleep and not listen to him.

I then looked at the platform, I saw Kakashi, Old man, and Yamato?

"Pass."

Before Iruka could say anything, Hiruzen had already told the evaluation by himself, Iruka didn't say anything else as he nodded and gave me the headband.

I took it and wrapped it around my arm, I didn't like wearing it on my head, I'll request Kakashi to tell me where can I get customized shirts that I can embed the headband.

"You can leave now and wait to meet your instructors tomorrow"

I nodded, when I came out I was greeted by everyone, I told them a fake story on how I really had to make a shadow clone with that I returned home to sleep and practice.

When the day arrived to meet the instructors I was the first one over, nothing happened in canon where Naruto had to steal the Scrolls, I taught him how, if you're asking how I knew the 'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique'

I asked Itachi when I forced him to use the Sharingan on me for the first time and in return he nodded and asked the Hokage.

I woke up earlier than usual so I was alone right now.

It wasn't until Sasuke came over, I just nodded at him as I didn't say anything else, aside from beating his ass every weekend and teaching him how Itachi used to teach me you consider us close friends.

I decided to sleep as it was too tiring to wait, after awhile I was woken up by someone poking my waist, not to my surprise it was Ino she showed me her head band.

"Can you?"

"Can I what?"

"Put it on for me, wherever you think its best."

"Stand up and turn over there."

She followed my instructions, if I remember she placed it around her hips in the canon, so I decided to do the same, she yelped as I placed it on her and when I was done securing it.

"You can sit down now, do you like it?"

"Yeah, why here?"

"No reason, well other than I don't want your skirt to fall off."

"O-okay."

She didn't say anything else, as she sat down quietly perhaps thinking of something else as she held her cheeks, when I sat down and looked at every one again Hinata came through the door

She scanned the surroundings I raised my hand and she scurried over here and just like Ino, she asked me where do I put it.

"Turn around."

This time I stood up and took the headband, and just like in canon, I placed it on her neck like a necklace, after seeing this she immediately blushed and turned red, she then sat down to where she would usually sit.

After seeing what I did to the two of them some of my classmates whom I rarely interact with gathered the courage to ask me to do the same to them.

"Ano- Yuki-kun."

I sighed and nodded, I just placed them on their head or their arms but not on their waist or neck lest I want to see two jealous kunoichi's beside me.

When I looked at them I patted their heads and told them something I forgot to tell them, maybe I'll tell everyone later.

"Congratulations to the two of you."

I smiled and the two of them blushed, Hinata looked like she wanted to pass out any moment and run, Ino on the other hand was fidgeting she didn't know what to say for the first time.

"Con-gratulations to you too."

"Ah Ah Cong-ra-s Yu-Yuki-kun!"

When everything was finished Iruka finally arrived.

"Congratulations to everyone passing now I will call on your names and your assigned teams."

Everything how it went on canon, its a pity there's no new team synergy, their Jonins collected them and right now I was left alone, Iruka nodded at me.

"Team 1, Yuki Hatake, Jonin Yamato ."

"Thank you for everything Iruka-Sensei"

I said to him before he left, this guy really kept Naruto in line and became his babysitter something I was glad to see but sadly they aren't close thanks to my interference.

When he finally left Yamato immediately arrived, I stood up and bowed.

"Greeting Yuki-kun, I know you have a lot of questions."

"Do we have to do that damned Bell Test?"

Yamato laughed at my question as I already know about it.

"No, we're going to play shogi the whole day and talk about each other"

"Nani?"
