"… and don't forget tomorrow you have sparring with each other." – finished her speech Kotsu tiredly. – 'Like Hokage-sama said first day is exhausting.' – sighed Kotsu in her mind. – "As for today, you are free."

"Yeah, finally the end." – attracted attention Arata – "but I'm so disappointed, that we couldn't show our skills on the sparring today." – hung his head Arata.

"Arata-kun you don't need to be disappointed, I'm sure tomorrow you will be able to show everyone how good you can fight." – cheered him with calm voice Inuzuka Mei and her dog barked.

"Yes, I'll show everyone who is the best in this class." – said with fire in his voice self-proclaimed best ninja in the class. When the class heard him, someone answered:

"Some brat thinks he is better than me, you are just mere weakling, which only can speak loud. You will never be able to defeat any Uchiha." – said with sarcastic and proud voice some black-haired boy. Everyone looked in his direction.

"Hmpf!" – reacted at their conversation white eyed boy with contempt, then he turned his head to with eyed girl and they left the room together. Now everyone was looking at the door through which they left the room. It is not needed to say what they wanted to say with this action.

Arata gritted his teeth and looked with small anger at the door and then turned his head to the group of Uchiha. Which had the same expression on his face and told him.

"Tomorrow I will show you who is a weakling and kick your a.s.s, so hard that you will be able to sit only on the couch for 1 week." – finally said Arata to the boy.

"Bastard. I'll teach you some manners tomorrow. If your family couldn't do this." – said Uchiha with a mirk on his face. After hearing this Arata was ready to jump on him at the same moment, 3 Uchihas were ready to fight with 6 of them, but right at the moment when Arata wanted to jump and beat the s**t out of them, he felt a hand on his shoulder and he stopped and turned his head to the left.

"It's not necessary to fight here, I understand your feelings, but you can do this tomorrow. If you will fight them right now your father's reputation will be tarnished. But if you insist on the fight, we support you." – Ichimaru tried to calm down his friend.

After hearing about his father, Arata calmed down a bit. He respected his father, even if he wanted to beat him because of his absence in his life. After calming down, Arata looked in the Uchiha's direction and said:

"Just, wait for tomorrow." – he looked with fire in his eyes at those sc.u.ms and turned around, to look at his friends Gonda showed him the thumb up, others just nodded their heads. After this they started to leave classroom, when they heard:

"They are just scared of us. Hahaha." – said second Uchiha.

"Of course, they are, how can mere students have any strength, in compare to us. Hmpf." – said third one.

"Tomorrow, I teach him some etiquette." – agreed 1st one.

Arata gritted his teeth but didn't look back and just continued to walk out of the classroom.

"Hey, guys let's go in the Akimichi's restaurant and celebrate our first day of academy. Don't let some idiots ruin our mood." – said Ichimaru with reassuring smile on his face.

"Yes, Ichimaru-kun is right." – said Nia and copied the same smile from him.

"Alright let's go, today Ichimaru pays. Yuhuuu." – said Arata.

"Yes, last time he promised to treat us with the most expensive meat in a restaurant." – nodded his Head in agreement Gonda.

"Stop this play, even if you say this, I don't have enough money for this." – shook his head disapproving with them and murmured – "what is wrong with the kid these days."

But unfortunately for him Arata could hear him.

"Sometimes you speak like my old man. In these moments you are a bit creepy." – responded Arata.

"Maybe your father is right!" – grumbled Ichimaru in response. After this they started to laugh and joke around. Finally, this defused the situation and they had a good time.

Today morning they all met each other in front of the candy store near the academy and bought some candies. After this they went to the academy and when they entered classroom, they were met with 5 cold looks from Uchihas and Hyugas. Today they had History and tactics, after those 2 they went to the training ground in the back of the academy building, for sparring. They came there, they saw 2 people on the ground, left one was their class teacher and second one was a man approximately 24~25 years old with 2 scars under his eye, he had brown hair and blue eyes.

"Hello, kids my name is Sarutobi Rauri I will be your taijutsu, shurikenjutsu and survival teacher for next 6 years. Today I'm going to test your shuriken throwing skills and close combat techniques. It is not a big problem if you don't know following topics, we are here to learn. Let's tart with throwing. First one …"

They started to throw shurikens and kunais from 10-meter distance. For clan's kids it was not hard, most of them already could hit the target 5~7 times from 10 shurikens and 1~2 times from 5 kunais. Ichimaru had average accuracy, he didn't train in shurikenjutsu, he made only some everyday trainings and that's all, in their group the best result had Arata and next was Mei. As for the class the best was Uchiha Kamuri he is the friend of Uchiha Tuki, the one whom Arata wants to beat. And second one was Arata, after him was Tuki.

Finally, after this test was over Rauri said:

"Okay, kids not bad, it was better than I expected." – after he said it some kids smiled happily, some of them smirked in satisfaction. After he saw their reaction, he continued. – "Alright, now pair up and start sparring. Your opponent is defeated when either he is unconscious, or he admits defeat. You can use only Taijutsu. If you are won't find an opponent yourselves then we will do this. "– finished Instructor.

Kids started to pair up and obviously Arata paired up with Toki, Ichimaru paired up with some kid with light brown hair.

'His parents are ninjas, yesterday I was them.' – though Ichimaru. – "let's have a good fight." – and bowed toward his opponent, the boy was surprised he didn't expect this and after he came back from daze, he bowed his head and started to spar.

"It's time for someone to understand it's place." – said Uchiha Toki.

Arata didn't answer him and just took his stance. Seeing that his opponent just ignored his provocation, he was a bit pissed off, but he also took fighting stance. After this, Arata dashed towards him. In almost 1 second Arata covered 2 meters and was in front of him, with his right hand ready to punch, Toki was a bit surprised with his opponent's speed, however he blocked the fist with his left arm and tried to use the momentum and hit Arata with his left feet, but Arata blocked his feet with his right leg and caught blocked leg with his left hand. When Uchiha saw the situation, he tried to hit spin and hit his opponent with his right leg, however right in the moment when he was about to start his spin, his opponent punched his knee with much force to break it to any 6 years old kid, but not to a ninja, even if he is also 6 years old. But the pain was so immense that Toki distracted and couldn't start his movement, also he let his guard down. after this he received a punch in the face and couldn't stand anymore. He fell on the ground. Arata followed him and sat on top of him ready to punch him, but as he started to move his fist Instructor stopped his hand and pronounced:

"Sarutobi Arata wins." – when he finished his words he turned around and saw that his friends were looking at him and they nodded at him, he smiled and did the same.

After this he stood up and gave his hand to Toki to help him. When Toki saw this, he was a bit surprised, but he didn't reject his hand. When he stood up, he looked at him, but didn't say anything, he just slightly nodded and went away. Ichimaru saw this and just shook his head.

He already defeated his opponent, although his opponent knew some moves, but he didn't really train physically, and this was enough for Ichi to defeat his opponent. After taking the stance Ichimaru attacked his opponent with full speed, but not full strength, and for a bit trained boy his speed was too much, he tried to block his punch, but only what he was able to do was to cover his face with his hands, however he received the punch in solar plexus, after this he couldn't continue fight.
