Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

It has been six months since I last went to the academy. Today, I decide to visit the academy with my real body.

The reason is pretty simple, Minato and his team are on a mission and coincidentally Uncle Sakumo is on a mission too. Now the entirety of this week would be free for me. So, I just decide to take a break from my harsh training and pay a visit to the academy.

I have improved a lot in these six months with the help of Uncle Sakumo and Minato. Uncle Sakumo taught me Earth Release and Water Release jutsus which I mastered in three months of time. I spent the last two months honing my skills in kenjutsu under his guidance. I have got the basics down thanks to Shinku Yuhi. Now, I train in sword arts which are imparted to me by Uncle Sakumo. But my small body holds me back from performing some of the sword arts.

I have made no further improvements in Genjutsu. I guess I need to evolve my Sharingan to three tomoes to further boost my skill. But I need some intense battles to further evolve my Sharingan. Kurenai also stopped training with me as none of us were improving further.

I am most satisfied with my progress in Fuinjutsu seals and space element training. I visited the Weapon store to buy lots of Fuinjutsu Inksticks and empty scrolls. I trained using my shadow clones in the Calligraphy and Chakra ink creation. Unexpectedly, the creation of Chakra ink improved my Chakra Control by a lot. My calligraphy now looks similar to a professional Calligrapher of my previous life. But I still get rebuked by Kushina as she points out certain mistakes I am not even aware of. When I look at them closely with Sharingan, I curse myself for my blunder and improve in them.

Space Element training is a bit different from what I expected. I expected Minato to train me in a place with many spatial disturbances or such. But he just handed me another Uzumaki scroll and a Namikaze scroll to practice. I guess I have read too many fantasy Wuxia novels which corrupted my thoughts a little.

The Uzumaki scroll has a seal with kanji letter 'Lock'. When I insert my Chakra in this scroll, it forms lots of Fuinjutsu seals which seals the space around me. Minato just asked me to sit in the sealed space and meditate while trying to understand the space inside. I was confused as I asked how this works, he just shrugged off his shoulders as he replied,

"This is how I practiced in Space element."

The Namikaze scroll though was more interesting and wondrous than the Uzumaki Scroll. I channeled my Chakra in it and a piece of weird metal pops out from the scroll. As I touched the metal I felt a kind of strange feeling running through my body as some subtle information about space began to appear in my mind. My understanding of the space element rose for a while as I continued infusing my chakra in it. When I stopped infusing the Chakra, the information flow stopped.

I asked Minato-san about the origin of this metal. He mentioned that it is a relic that was passed down in his clan as an heirloom. Some time in past his clan ancestors excavated the relic from some ruins. The relic was already broken when they found it. It was further ruined by various infights and attacks from external enemies. His Clan was also wiped because of this relic. He was the only remaining survivor and he was able to escape to Konoha with the scroll given by his father who was the Clan head of the now-extinct Namikaze clan.

I wonder if it is similar to the Time Artifact Karasuki, scavenged by Konoha in the future. Well, that artifact was used by Urashiki to time travel maybe this artifact has a similar history.

I entered the class and went to my usual seat. I start to gaze outside the academy as I am happy for the successful completion of my Optical Illusion Jutsu. Now, I have covered my Sharingan with the illusion as I keep it activated almost every moment. There is almost no Chakra usage in keeping this jutsu active.

I start to observe my classmates with my Sharingan. My gaze fell on an Aburame Clan member and it freaked me out. Insects too many insects, that guy had too many insects crawling inside his body. I slowly inspect every member of the class as my eyes stop on a particular girl. The girl as if sensing someone's stare on her turns around and looks at me. Both of us stare for a while as I am in shock to see this girl here,

'The girl has straight, purple hair reaching to her waist. Her brown eyes stared curiously at me.'

The girl tilts her head in confusion for being stared by me. I nod my head to her in greeting. She is perplexed at my nod as she points at herself with a finger. I just chuckle at her and then continue to look around.

The girl is none other than Yugao Uzuki. In the original story, she joined Anbu shortly after graduating from the academy. She is a sensor-type ninja and I was really surprised when I first noticed her in the same class as me.

Well, she is really cute and I will certainly date her if I get the opportunity. Well in the original story she fell in love with Hayate Gekko because the latter taught her Kenjutsu. Well, I can do the same and teach her Kenjutsu. She will also serve as a good training partner for me.

The class starts as usual with nothing new to learn. Honestly, I am disappointed by the current education system of the academy as they only push the propaganda of Will of Fire to students. The Will of Fire is a great idea but it had long been twisted by the whims of elders and other senile geezers for their benefits which they whitewash with Konoha's safety motto and casually wipes out a clan because of their fear.

Well, I have decided to take a day off, so I will just enjoy touring around the village. I walk out of the academy and lazily stroll toward the market. I pass by a park as I see some children of my age playing with each other. Most of the kids are civilians with a few clan members. I walk to one of the swings and apply some wind chakra to the swing and I close my eyes as the swing move to and fro on its own.

I am enjoying the breeze from the swing as I recall my childhood in my previous life. My parents would usually take me for a walk in the park as my father would give me a ride on the swing. I lost my parents in my previous life and almost lost them in this life. I will become strong and protect them.

The To and Fro motion of my swing halts as I open my eyes to know the reason. A ten-year-old kid with a genin headband holds the chain of swing in his hand as he stops the swing.

I frown on seeing this as my thoughts began to race,

'If I am not wrong, then this guy is the big brother of one of the academy students who pissed their pants in the fear.'

As if right on cue, the four civilian kid starts to surround me as their leader mocks me,

"What will you do now? We have surrounded you. My big brother is a ninja, a genuine ninja with genin rank."

The big guy flashes his forehead protector to me as he looks at me with a grin.

"You have some guts to bully my younger brother in the academy. Now I will see how you will be able to do so in the future."

I shake my head at their idiocy as I simply mutter,

'Genjutsu: Sharingan'

I start to walk away from the civilian kids as I decide to try some more street food. The civilian kids perplexedly look at my departing back as the leader start to shake his elder brother,

"Big brother that guy is running away. Catch him and beat him to take our revenge."

Other kids also join the leader as they continue to shake the genin.

"Argh…You bastard. I will beat you like a bitch!"

The genin yells loudly as he starts to assault the younger kids. The younger kids become terrified when their elder brother starts to beat them. They frantically run around the village as the Genin guy chases them and smack them every time one of them is caught by him. This continues for a while as yelling and crying of kids echoed in Konoha's streets.
