As rays of the rising sun sheltered the entire Konoha, it declared the beginning of a new day.

The sun rays from the broken window fell on the futon as the person inside removed the blanket and got up.

After taking a bath, Kozuki wore the new clothes that he had specially brought for today.

Eating the breakfast, he left his house running towards the Ninja School.

Today is the enrollment day for the Ninja Academy.

Kozuki, reaching the minimum standard for attending the Ninja Academy was notified to report to the Academy.

Arriving at the playground of the School, Kozuki saw a lot of kids around his age.

"That's Kakashi" thought Kozuki as he looked at the kid standing alone at the corner wearing a blue mask that covered his face till his nose and white hair special to Hatake Family with an expression as if everyone owed him money.

Kozuki spotted a lot of familiar faces like someone wearing orange goggles or a person wearing green tights and watermelon head.

Soon, a person wearing a green vest and Konoha headband arrived as he motioned everyone to stay quiet.

"There will be a test to determine whether you'll be in the best class or the worst"

After a few minutes, many equipment for the test were placed at the ground.

The proctor announced first exam to be Shuriken Proficiency Test.

Thup. (Shurikens Nailed to the Center)

"Kozuki Shiro Grade A" announced the proctor with surprise as he didn't expect a civilian to achieve such a result.

"Who's that kid"

"He's Amazing..."

The Kids around started to gossip as everyone was surprised by Kozuki's performance.

Soon, it was Kakashi turn who also secured all the Shuriken to the center.

"Another Genius"

"He's White Fang's Son Hatake Kakashi"

The children were surprised again by the emergence of another talent.

Kakashi ignored everyone's admiring gaze and looked towards Kozuki with fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

Kozuki feeling Kakashi's gaze looked back and smiled at him.

Soon, it was the endurance test which was to run around the ground for 10 laps.

Kozuki and Kakashi both finished their laps though the difference was Kozuki didn't even have a change in breath while Kakashi sat down tired of running.

"This guy..."Kakashi looked at Kozuki and couldn't believe that he lost to someone of his age.

After a brief rest, the Proctor announced the third exam which was the Ninjutsu test.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Kozuki only got a C grade in it while Kakashi got another A.

"Looks like no one is perfect" some jealous kids breathed a sigh of relief while Kakashi's earlier unwillingness was gone as he saw himself better.

"I'm really not suited for Ninjutsu" thought Kozuki as even after acquiring the Template his Ninjutsu talent didn't change much but his Chakra Quantity Did Increase a lot.

After the last kid completed the test, the proctor announced the students class and Kozuki without any problem was sorted in the best class.

After the test Sarutobi arrived as he fed the children the soup of Will of Fire making Kozuki laugh inwardly as he knew of Sarutobi's true face.

After the speech, Kozuki arrived at his class and ignoring the noisy kids he sat aside at a seat near the right end.

Kozuki felt a Shadow over him and saw Kakashi standing in front of him.

"Do you need something" asked Kozuki a bit confused.

Kakashi didn't answer and sat on the seat next to him.

"Hey aren't those two who performed the best at the exam" said Obito to Asuma sitting beside him.

"They are nothing I can defeat them both" said Asuma arrogantly as his father was the 3rd Hokage So he thought he was the best.

"They are so Handsome!!"

The girls looked at both of them with shining eyes.

Looking at the girls, the boys gritted their teeth with jealously.

"Those bastards...."

It's disgusting. I want to punch them...

But you can't beat them...

"Shut up!!"

Among the jealous boys, Asuma spoke loudly as even Kurenai Yuhi was specially looking at Kozuki.

Soon, the Chunin teacher as everyone got quiet and the teacher introduced himself and asked for everyone's introduction.

"My name is Kozuki Shiro. I'm destined to be the Strongest Swordsman that world has never seen before" said Kozuki as his words sounded a bit arrogant to everyone but Kozuki knew as long as he grew up he'll do wonders with just a sword.

The Teacher was surprised since Kozuki didn't even carry a sword with him but how could he knew that Kozuki had a system space which could carry anything in it except a living person.

After the introduction, the teacher started explaining the History of Konoha including Sarutobi being the strongest Hokage making Kozuki nearly laugh aloud.

Soon, the first day of the Academy came to an end as Kozuki went home a bit tired.

Hokage Office

"Lord Third these are the children who were comprised in the best class" said the Chunin Teacher giving the report to Sarutobi.

"You're working hard" said Sarutobi to the class teacher smiling as he started looking at the report.

"Hmm... Hatake Kakashi" said Sarutobi as he saw his name at the top.

"Lord Third he's the most talented student I have ever seen whether Taijutsu or Ninjutsu he's talent is one of the best" said the Teacher happy to teach a genius.

"As expected of Sakumo's son" thought Sarutobi a bit worried as in the last war the biggest hero for Konoha was White Fang and his Hokage's seat was in danger because of his reputation.

Sigh...

"Why can't my Sarutobi clan have such a genius" sighed Sarutobi thinking of his son's who had no talent like Kakashi.

"Huh... who is this Kozuki Shiro" asked Sarutobi after seeing his name at the second place.

"Lord third he's a civilian but in Taijutsu he's even better then Kakashi though his Ninjutsu talent is average" said the Teacher a bit disappointed.

Sarutobi was also a bit disappointed but he had to pretend in front of the teacher.

"No worry, teach him he'll be better in no time after all they are the future of Konoha" said Sarutobi as he arrived at the window looking at village and the teacher behind admired him even more.
