A Journey Through the Universes

I knew that he gave me this technique too easily.

Hiruzen knew from the very beginning that he would become my teacher… Damn, I should have asked for more.

While I was thinking here, my niece went on the attack on the Hokage.

– The teacher is not funny at all! – loudly, indignantly she declared.

"I'm not kidding, Tsunade. As of today, he is a member of team number seven. – he said with a smile, smoking.

"But he's just a kid!" she shouted, pointing at me with her finger.

"Ha ha ha, Tsuna, he's only four years younger than you. –

– What!? It turns out he's only four?! I thought he was at least five! Sensei, do you want to throw us a child that didn't even graduate from the academy!? –

Tsunade is a combination of Naruto's arrogance, shamelessness and shoutiness, Sakura's temper... and she's only eight years old.

– Actually, he has already graduated from the academy. Hiruzen replied cryptically, with a sly smile.

- what? already she said softly, being discouraged.

– Sensei, are you saying that this guy has already graduated from the academy? At the age of four? – shocked, Jiraya asked, getting to his feet after the flight.

Orochimaru burned a hole in me with his gaze.

Pleased with the reaction of his students, Sarutobi spoke again.

– Tetsuya-kun was able to graduate from the academy in just a month. –

After confirming their guesses, the three of them looked at me with shock. Jiraya was the most shocked of all.

It's time for me to enter into a dialogue…

Smiling softly, I bowed slightly and introduced myself.

– Uzumaki Tetsuya. Looks like I'm going to be your teammate, please take care of me. –

It's very funny to introduce yourself like this, looking at their surprised faces.

"Don't we have a full team, Sensei?" Orochi asked calmly, looking at me.

Hiruzen, exhaling wearily, replied.

– From now on, I will no longer go on missions with you, so you need a fourth person. –

This brought Jiraya and Tsunade back to earth.

But if Tsunade only frowned, then Jiraya exclaimed.

– How so, Sensei! –

The guy was obviously not happy with what he heard… It looks like Jiraya has become quite attached to Hiruzen.

– Eh, I'm still a Hokage, Jiraya… My work requires a lot of attention and time. –

Hanging his head, the white-headed man muttered.

– I understand, Sensei. –

Without letting the sad atmosphere gather, Sarutobi said.

– Now, you need to choose a captain, because I left this post. –

– I'll be the captain! – confidently, Tsuna declared.

– Yes, yes, let Tsunade be the captain. Jiraya said, with a wry smile on his face.

It was perfectly clear that he also wanted to become a captain, but in the end, we see what we see... a heel? Maybe... or maybe he's just afraid of incurring the wrath of the blonde again? It's also possible.

– Orochimaru-kun? Hiruzen said questioningly.

– Not interested. – he answered, closing his eyes.

– Okay, from now on, Tsunade is the captain of the seventh team. –

My candidacy was not even considered, which is very logical.

And I don't want to be their captain.

Tsuna was pleased. She was positively glowing with contentment.

– I won't let you down Sensei! – hitting her chest, she said belligerently.

– Ho-ho, I hope this is Tsunade. Well, I still have a lot of work to do. Go get to know each other better. And also..." he said, and then took out a scroll from under the table and threw it to me with the words. – Here you go, as agreed. After studying, destroy it. –

Catching the scroll, I opened it and saw the Shadow Clone technique.

The technique is actually very, very simple.

In fact, this is the same Technique of Illusory Clones, only slightly modified.

After running through his eyes and memorizing everything, he returned the scroll back in the same way.

Hiruzen caught the scroll, threw a glance and said: "What's going on?"

I silently folded the necessary seal and activated the chakra.

A second later, my exact copy appears with a cloud of smoke.

The clone looked at me with a smile and said.

– Listen, man, you're very handsome. –

"You're not too bad either. I replied with a grin and scattered the copy.

Seeing such a scene, the trio looked at the Hokage with indignation.

"I have already been told that you are Tetsuya's monster, but no one has told me that even among monsters you are a monster. – impressed by my learning speed, he said.

Then the Hokage turned his gaze to the trio who were looking at him fervently.

– Don't look at me like that. – he spoke with a kind smile on his lips. "I can't give you this technique, at least not right now. –

– Well, why?! Jiraya exclaimed.

– This technique can only be used by those who have a lot of chakra. –

– But Sensei! You gave it to him! Are you saying that he has more chakras than we do!? – the white-headed man did not let up.

Before Hiruzen could answer the question, Orochimaru gave his voice.

– Jiraya, he's Uzumaki. All the representatives of this clan have very hardy bodies, and they also have a huge amount of chakra and vitality. – he spoke calmly, chewing all the Jirae.

- Yes? I didn't know! – he said in surprise, looking at me in a new way.

– I didn't know, because you, idiot, didn't listen to anything in class. We were told about clans and their peculiarities at the academy for a whole month. Tsunade said while looking at Jiraya with a pejorative look.

– Tetsuya has four times more chakras than me. – Hiruzen threw his five kopecks.

– WHAT!? Jiraya and Tsunade exclaimed in shock again.

Although Orochimaru was silent, it was clear from his look that he was also in shock.

– Was it necessary? I asked, looking at Hiruzen.

– No, but they would have found out soon anyway. He replied with a smile.

With our mini-dialogue with Hiruzen, we confirmed this fact for the trinity, so to speak.

Most of all, this information hurt Jiraya.

– How unfair it is! Why should I put a lot of effort to become stronger, and clan children get everything, just because they were born successfully! – he exclaimed in frustration.

– Because that's how the world works. Still, luck is also a part of strength. I said, looking into his eyes.

– I don't agree with such a world! I will prove that even ordinary people can surpass the so-called geniuses through diligence, through blood and sweat! – clenching his fists tightly, he said.

– This is a good goal for Jiraya, but your path will be difficult and thorny. Hiruzen said, smoking his pipe.

– I know, Sensei, and I'm ready for it! –

I did not say that in theory he was also very lucky when he became a student of the Hokage.

– That's good… So, I started talking to you, it's time for me to work, and I advise you to go to some restaurant and get to know each other better. –

After that, we left the Hokage's office. Then Tsunade volunteered to take us to some nice place that had recently opened.

It was only after five minutes that I realized that we were definitely heading towards the training grounds. That's what I told our commander.

– Tsunade, there are only training grounds in this direction, there are no restaurants there. –

– The restaurant will be later. First I want to see what you're capable of. And a little warm-up will only warm up your appetite. –

- OK. – I answered calmly, as I expected this.

So you decided to check me out? I expected this, but I didn't think it would be so fast. Although I'm even glad about it, because maybe they can make me get serious…
