Struggle (Sequel to Shinju Hatake)

Mom's early promotion

Yuki's (Shinju's mom) P.O.V

It was my first day at the academy. Where the Academy Entrance Ceremony started. I was with Rin but Obito wasn't there. My guess he was late or he was helping an old lady again. I looked at Rin worriedly.

"Rin, where is Obito?" She looked up and searched the crowd. After 5 minutes of hopeless searching, we gave up and entered the Academy building. Rin got an extra form for Obito just in case. They would be so cute together but Rin is so blind.

I just hope my ship will soon come true.

We left the Academy after the ceremony and when we were outside, we heard running. Obito. I smiled.

"No, no, no! The one time when I'm not supposed to be late." The banner was taken down and Obito looked downcast. I intruded his blue aura.

"Yuki! Rin!" Rin handed him a folder.

"Here Obito, we took one for you!" Rin said smiling. Obito blushed, as I stood there watching the future couple.

"Hmph! At this rate, you'll never become a Shinobi." I glanced at a boy with grey hair folding his arms. What a stuck up. Obito got into a defensive stance, but I stopped him.

"Obito, don't. He's a waste of your time." I reassured him. We left the boy behind and strolled around Konoha.

A month later it was finally the day I would enter the Academy. I only saw a few students including the grey-haired boy we've encountered a month ago. Two minutes later Guy came in and pointed at the grey-haired boy.

"Fight me Kakashi!" So, the 'so-called' grey-haired boy is actually called Kakashi. Interesting. I didn't really pay attention to this guy anyway.

"Sorry, not today." He apologized. Hm, it looks like he doesn't care. I ignored their conversation and headed to Rin and Obito. I sighed. "Good morning Yuki!" Rin chirped.

"Morning Yuki-chan!"

"Good morning guys. It looks like Guy is challenging Kakashi, again." I sighed.

"Yeah, he'll never give up, now will he?" Rin said. I shook my head. They engaged a small fight. Obito was cheering for him, and Rin slowly copied his action. I kept my face neutral. Kakashi kicked Guy on the cheek making me wince at the sight. Guy fell on his butt and Kakashi returned to his seat as nothing happened. Our sensei came in and we began the lesson. I zoned out, and thought about my ancestors, and what my Kagune will look like in the future. I still haven't unlocked it, yet. "Yuki." My Sensei interrupted my thoughts. I looked up, looking bored as hell.

"Hm?" I heard a few snickers around the room.

"Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Rat, Boar, Bird, Ox, Horse, Bird, Rat, Tiger, Dog, Tiger, Snake, Ox, Ram, Snake, Boar, Ram, Rat, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Dragon, Bird, Ox, Horse, Ram, Tiger, Snake, Rat, Monkey, Rabbit, Boar, Dragon, Ram, Rat, Ox, Monkey, Bird, Dragon, Rat, Boar, Bird. What does this 44 hand seals represent?" I glanced at Kakashi, who looked bored but had an overconfident gleam in his eyes. I looked back to my sensei.

"Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu. Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu." I answered in a bored tone. Silence filled the room, as Sensei looked at the answers.

"That is correct." I heard a few gasps of shock. Rin and Obito looked at me like they just saw a ghost. I looked back at them.

"What?" I asked, uncomfortable at the stares I was getting.

"How? How can you analyze all these hands seals, without Sensei repeating?" Obito asked.

"It's called having a memory Obito," I replied dryly. A few chuckled echoed the room. He playfully glared at me and huffed in annoyance. One year later I saw Kakashi coming out of the building with an ninja headband. A few students looked at him in amazement. Rin congratulated him and Obito stomped at him.
