The next day.
Colt still got up early, but did not rush to the training ground immediately.
He knows Kakashi very well, and he knows the plot even more.
This old fella was purely toying with people, and he specifically pointed out that breakfast was not allowed.
A proper black-hearted man.
And Colt finished the breakfast and practiced the ninjutsu written down in the sealed book for a while.
He walked slowly towards the training ground.

After Naruto was beaten by little Sakura, Iruka also came.
He took out a piece of paper and announced the classification of the classes.
Finally, he reached Colt.
"Team Seven, Colt, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto."
Naruto jumped for joy when he heard that he was in a group with Colt and little Sakura.
But when he found out that Sasuke was also there, he jumped in anger again.
It didn't take long.
The jonin instructors came over one by on...

Colt returned to his home after the Anbu took Mizuki away.
And the Third Hokage had no intention of summoning him.
This was somewhat unexpected.
He didn't even get called in;
‘The old man's heart must be too big.’
How could Colt know that the Third was lost imagining strange scenarios about his lineage?
The night passed silently.
Colt woke up early in the morning and started preparing breakfast.
Routine days were still so dull, with no real ...

At midnight, Naruto sneaked into the Hokage Residence.
After failing the exam, Mizuki had found the dejected Naruto and told him about the existence of the Forbidden Scroll.
Naruto was very excited - as long as he could learn a powerful jutsu from the scroll, then Iruka-sensei would definitely recognize his skills and allow him to graduate.
"Naruto!"
Colt appeared silently at the door of the Hokage Residence, and Naruto almost cried out in fright.

In the main hall, Colt picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip.
And the expression on his face was pensive, with his wise eyes also distracted.
Putting down the teacup, he sighed.
Who would have thought that the dog sent by Hana Inuzuka was actually a troublemaker?
He couldn't see it when he was a child, but as he grew up, Ichibi's true nature was revealed.
From making a mess of the furnishings in the house, to outright dismantling things.

When it was almost the end of the academy day, the group of four also struggled to get up and get back.
Colt sealed the sun loungers into the scroll again and returned to the classroom with the rest.
The timing was just right.
As soon as Iruka walked towards the front, they slipped in from behind.

Ino jumped up instantly. The twelve-year-old girl had already grown up, and Colt was a little flustered by her as she rushed at him.

Konoha year 60, Autumn.
At the ninja academy, Iruka walked into the classroom with a look of anger, followed by a dejected Naruto.
"You go to the back and stand for me there for a day!"
Looking at the disobedient Naruto, Iruka got angry again.
Because of Naruto, he has been approached by the Third Hokage to talk to him for six years.
After every naughty act, he was responsible for cleaning up the mess.
The same was true today, as Naruto slipped out of the a...

Early the next morning, Hana Inuzuka arrived at Colt's residence with a tiny puppy cradled in her arms.
"You lucked out - this ninken was just delivered from our clan's breeding grounds, and it has an excellent pedigree. Should make for a great partner."
Colt peered at the bundle she carried.
This was an exceptionally cute pup with soft black and white fur marked by a distinctive white blaze on its forehead.
Two wide, obsidian eyes stared unblinkingly back at him.

Yakiniku Q was a famous barbecue restaurant in Konohagakure.
Its renown stemmed from its premium pricing.
This was a high-end yakiniku establishment using only the finest top-quality meats.
Rumor had it even shinobi were hired to raise the livestock.
Such extravagance gave most ninjas pause before splurging on a meal here.
But for Colt, cost was no object.
Unlike Chōji, he wouldn't bankrupt a jonin with just two orders.

Colt was overjoyed to grasp Kakashi's intentions.
"My dynamic vision is quite acute."
Not long ago, he had finally unlocked the Sharingan after breaking through to 1000 in his spirit stat.
And it manifested directly at the highest three-Tomoe level.
Even without activating the dōjutsu, his visual perception was now greatly enhanced.
Seeing his confidence, Kakashi chose to believe him.

At the training ground, Kakashi once again took out his Icha-Icha book.
"Use your full strength to attack me. I'll decide which ninjutsu to teach you based on your performance."
His nonchalant words carried a faint air of provocation.
Colt fell silent for a moment, unsure how to respond.
Was Kakashi really going to gauge him properly while reading his scandalous literature?
However, since the jonin seemed so confident, Colt decided to take him as seriously as he ...

Konohagakure was a vast village.
Though just a village in name, it was in fact the second largest city in the Land of Fire after the capital.
After all, the life of a shinobi was one of high risks and high rewards.
Each elite ninja amassed considerable wealth.
Hence, Konoha's business districts thrived as well.
Whether respectable...or less so.
While ninjas adhered to strict rules, indulgences like alcohol and intimacy were hardly uncommon.

After the two returned to their places, the remaining matches were somewhat lackluster.
However, witnessing the dazzling ninjutsu duel had greatly improved the students' perception.

Colt was undoubtedly the number one student of the year. This was something everyone understood.

Although it had been several years, Sasuke still remembered what Itachi once said about this guy in front of him.
‘Hmph’
Since it was impossible to defeat Itachi now, he decided to first defeat Colt, who he recognized as a rival, to prove that he was completely different than him!
Colt shrugged and walked slowly to the ring.
At Iruka's request, the two first formed a seal of opposition.
Beating children or something… he liked it the most.

"Also, what exactly are you writing!"
Iruka waved the paper in his hand, spitting.

However, he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately the group of girls rushed up again chattering.

Inside the ninja academy classroom, Colt collapsed onto a chair and stared at the birds outside the window.
Sure enough, no matter what world you were in, going to school was a boring affair.
Shikamaru was in the same position as him, basking in the warm sunlight, about to fall asleep.
Iruka, who was full of passion on stage, had veins bulging on his forehead.

Some think it was intelligence. In cases of similar strength, the smarter ninja tends to survive.

The most important thing for a ninja...was loyalty.
Damn it.

He forgot the assigned name and thought about it for a long time before remembering it.

Three days passed in a flash.
Soon it was the day when the Ninja Academy started.
Along the way, Colt saw many parents leading their children towards the school.
In Konoha, or the entire ninja world, being a ninja was a high-paying profession.
Of course, it's a high-risk job.
But even so, many families still hope to have a ninja at home.
Perhaps because of a lack of talent, they can only become Genin or Chūnin.
But it was enough to make a qualitative...

Attending the Ninja Academy was not something one could do simply out of desire. Either you receive an admission notice or you must possess exceptional talent.

Colt, however, did not panic at all.
