Chapter 13- Fame
The next day at the Academy felt... different.
I wasn’t sure what exactly I expected. Maybe some whispers? Some curious looks? But what I got was an actual full-blown public reaction.
Apparently, news travels fast when you’re now the Second Hokage’s personal disciple—and also, apparently, dating his granddaughter.
I blame Tsunade for both.
Oh, there was also a rumor about me being a monster-level genius who created several A-rank jutsu before hitting the age of 10, but that was probably done by Tobirama to hype me up and give the clans a reason for accepting me as his student.
You see, me being Tobirama’s student was a big deal. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen and his cronies were technically only his guards who were trained by him.
As for why I got to become his student? Simple—we’re quite alike. Creator-type shinobi. Tobirama probably thought me similar to himself, so he took me in.
Anyway, that’s for later. For now... what was I talking about? Ah, yes. The Academy.
I walked into class, and Tsunade was already there, sitting at our usual spot near the back window. The moment she saw me, she stood up, waved, and shouted—
"Inaba~! Over here! I saved your seat, dear!"
...What the fuck.
And that was it. That single moment changed everything. Well, not exactly changed—but yeah, intensified.
