How To Survive In The World Of Naruto With Fragmented Memories

A few months pass by, Yuuma already became five years old and about to reach his sixth birthday was heading towards the Academy he heard a few gossips along the way about the Uchiha massacre that took place recently, it was a piece of shocking news that shook the entire shinobi world where many were laughing happily while others were wondering why the genius Itachi Uchiha would slaughter his own people so ruthlessly.

With one of the strongest bloodline clans declined to almost complete extinction the villages no longer feared Konohagakure as much as they did in the past, Yuuma who heard this was quite interested to know why someone would kill their own family but he knew the answers he seeks will only be answered by the person himself.

"Yo Yuuma, I heard you applied of early graduation on your birthday?" Eiji the Taijutsu instructor called out to Yuuma, "Yes, I want to start my journey soon" Hearing the eagerness of Yuuma, Eiji could only chuckle while he patted the head of the boy while walking with him into the Academy, the looks the surrounding students gave Yuuma did not change after a long time as he realized that he will have a long way ahead of him if he wants to gain their acknowledgement...

'Should I really care what they think?' This subtle thought rooted itself in the mind of Yuuma as he began to feel apathetic towards those who treat him this way, Eiji also noticed that Yuuma's mindset was changing which was why he decided to arrange a special Jounin to take care of Yuuma for in case this boy creates a miracle. Yuuma went together with Eiji where he completed the application form for formalities sake since the Staff members already knew this boy intends to graduate early.

"Well with this you better be prepared to pass or you will become liable for one year of service without any room for complaints got it?" Hearing the Staff member's rude reminder Yuuma was not the least bit fazed as he nodded before turning to leave, his graduation examination will be taking place in two days meaning in two days he will officially become a Genin and he will be able to take on missions instead of wasting time in the academy.

"Hey Yuuma, I heard you applied for early graduation!?" Kisame ran to confront his friend, "Yeah, I feel like it will be better if I can get some battle experience early" Yuuma gave a random reason to which Kisame sighed while shaking his head, "You actually dare to graduate alone? You do realize you will end up solo Ninja right?" Yuuma nodded as he took his seat in the classroom with Kisame next to him.

"That is why I am applying, with that I can train harder before I join an official team" Kisame only snorted when he heard his best friend giving such a lame excuse, "I know you are getting tired of the students looking at you weirdly because of your eyes"

Yuuma turned to look at his friend with a complicated smile causing Kisame to swallow his saliva, never did Kisame realize how much Yuuma wanted to make friends but with the current system it was difficult for that to happen as those in Class 5 are not allowed to easily approach those from Class 1 - 4 because to the hierarchy rules.

Not to mention because of his complicated situation with the Terumi clan who does not support him only his big sister Mei Terumi supports him wholeheartedly, Kisame could only sigh "Well make sure to keep a spot available for me when I graduate" Yuuma smile became warmer as he nodded.

Few more months have passed by, Yuuma skipped classes in order to continue his studies in a variety of jutsus in different categories. It was only because he discovered when he started to attend the academy that he had an affinity to every element, so he did not hold back to study as much as he could although his focus was more in the direction of Water, Wind and Genjutsu so he could make use of his current surroundings to it's fullest potential.

If he was not training, Yuuma would go read some books that explained the layout of each country so he could at least have a basic understanding, he knew if he were to graduate early he best at least complete all of his studies he was meant to get till he graduated like any other average student.

it was on the 27th of March. Yuuma came to the office of the school to meet his homeroom teacher to know what task he will have to complete for his graduation but instead, he met a middle-aged man with blue hair which is styled in a moused-up manner. His left eye was blue and his right eye was covered with an eye-patch, attached to each of his ears was a talisman written with the kanji for a humble form of "to hear" twice on each side.

His attire consists of the standard striped, grey suit, with a green haori that had white trimmings that stop halfway down, over them. "So you are the brat I have to watch over huh?" The man spoke while looking at Yuuma who just became 6 years old.

"It's an honour to meet the Byakugan Killer, Teacher Ao" Yuuma bowed politely causing Ao to feel surprised that this boy was well informed for his age, naturally Yuuma knew of some prominent figures within the Kirigakure as he visited the school library quite often to self-study all for the sake of graduating early today.

"So you know of me huh?" Ao gaze at the piece of paper that held the summary report of Yuuma's personal history, it was when he saw the boy's eyes he understood more or less why this boy went ahead to graduate early. 'I wonder why Mei Terumi asked me to be in charge of this brat's graduation... She is simply spoiling him too much'

'Let's see if this boy will be worth my time' Ao thought while he placed his hands behind his back looking at Yuuma seriously, "As you know the graduation examination underwent a change because of a singularity's action, we chose to have the students complete a D Rank Mission. Do you want to choose or should I?"

Hearing the question Yuuma shook his head "Please choose one for me" Ao was surprised once again but he turned around to face the administrator of the school who handed him several requests. 'The best request for this boy would be one where he will have to kill, it will be much smoother in the future if he experiences to kill soon' Ao thought

After flipping through the requests Ao chose "Your quest will be to capture a thief by the name of Kaito Kuroba, he had been stealing goods for a good while now form Civilians in Mozuku Island" Ao finished telling the overall details fo the mission, seeing that Yuuma was only nodding he could only raise his brow thinking this boy is overestimating his ability.

Ao turned to the Administrator "Register this mission for his graduation test" The administrator nodded at Ao's order watching how Ao went out together with Yuuma, the administrator sneered 'Should inform the Mizukage to become more aware of this boy's existence and perhaps get him to kill the boy as asked by the Head of the Terumi Family'

Meanwhile, Ao went together with Yuuma to his house where Yuuma attached his shuriken pouch against his right t.h.i.g.h which was filled with shurikens made out of transparent metal, it cost him a great deal of Ryo which is also why Yuuma had to graduate early since he was broke. When he pulled out the large box he once claimed from the orphanage he placed it on the bed, he never once opened the box as he felt it was not time yet but now it was.

Ao said nothing while he watches the boy carefully untie the rope holding the box sealed before opening the box, what was revealed was a black wood hilt & sheath katana without a guard and a wakizashi similarily without a guard, The Katana had a name carved on Sokushi which meant "Instant Death", the Wakizashi was Shino Kage which translates "Shadow of Death". Yuuma was not certain how he should respond to these two swords but since it was the gift of his true parents he attached the katana and Wakizashi onto his back before turning to Ao "I'm ready Sensei"

"Let's get going" Ao turned around while Yuuma followed after him 'I will have to find out the origins of this boy's parents like Mei asked me to, but I wonder if she will be able to handle the truth' Ao Thought as he too like others were under the impression that Yuuma was a descendant of the Hyuga clan, it took them a while of running to the eastern harbour where they will be taking the boat.

During their sprint to the harbour, Yuuma had to manipulate his chakra to enhance his legs to keep up with the speed Ao was running. 'This sensei is really ruthless' Yuuma thought as he saw each time he got closer, Ao will increase the speed even more but Yuuma was stubborn and hated how this old man was bullying him so he challenged the old man to run till they finally reached the harbour.

Yuuma was breathing heavily while Ao was buying tickets for the two of them, "Why did you waste your energy like this? Don't you know that you can lose your life right now if an enemy shinobi finds you like this!?" Yuuma shook when he heard Ao's reprimands, "You have a lot to learn before I acknowledge you boy"

Ao hands over Yuuma's ticket before climbing onto the boat 'Sigh, his rash nature is too similar to Mei, if I did not move away on time he might have spotted me not being too serious' Ao sigh as he went on the boat, Yuuma followed shortly afterwards thinking about what he did wrong. During the entire duration, Yuuma sat with crossed legs as he began to recuperate his chakra, it was something Yuuma discovered that once he sits silently his chakra recovery rate increases.

Ao was looking at the boy who sat silently not disturbing anyone if people were not focused they might not spot the boy from how silently he was sitting, Ao pulled out the report of the boy.

[Name: Yuuma Terumi

Current age: 5

Chakra characteristics: TBC

Height: 45.5"

Weight: 45.5 lb

History:

Adopted by Orphanage owned by Sakura, apparently arrived in the orphanage a few days before the Terumi Clan came to adopt him. His origin is currently unknown but some suspect him to be a descendant of the Hyuga. Discarded by the Terumi Clan as waste due to him not showing signs of improvements compared to average adopted children, and is currently marked as a possible target for elimination, reason: Kekkai Genkai which is not yet confirmed...]

Ao reread the papers once again before he turned to look at the boy who was sitting silently, he was not certain if he could trust the information because from what he noticed was the fact the boy had quite a large chakra capacity and is quite experienced in movement techniques. 'I should be able to gauge the boy's true potential in this mission, I will see what choice he makes when he captures the enemy and then decide if I will take him as my disciple or not' Ao thought

While Ao was busy putting away the report paper only to notice Yuuma stirred awake stretching his body showing signs of being full of energy shocking him. 'Interesting' Ao thought while smiling 'Perhaps I should consider it more seriously...'

Yuuma felt that this chakra was mostly recovered so he felt a bit hungry so he went towards his backpack to take out a food pill to quench his hunger before returning to take his seat at the same position again, 'It's my first mission and I might have to consider the possibility of killing my target, I never experienced killing before but as Big Sister Mei said, it's kill or be killed' Yuuma thought to himself while he relaxed his breathing to allow his body to relax.

Ao activated his Byakugan silently as he watches the chakra acupoints and the lines that connect them together, what he saw was transparent chakra with tints of multiple colours and the location of the eyes were two bright light blue orbs which confirmed that the eyes were indeed something special. Little did Yuuma realize, depending on how he will be performing his job, will determine if he will survive the trip back home or not.
