Afternoon.
Ring!
The bell rang throughout the Shinobi Academy causing the suppress compound to come to life.
Shaa...
"Hand signs were essential to mold those chakra to guide and..." Let's explain when suddenly the bell goes off.
"I want you to write homework on how to mold chakra and what are the essentials needed to mild them" he immediately presented students 'with some homework before they stormed off the classroom door.
"Yes, teacher" all the students reply while moving toward the door.
...
It had been two weeks since school started, Jin and Naruto, true to their bets were focused on their studies trying to Ace this year's Exam.
While the students were busy playing, they employed many tactics to trick each other while they secretly trained and studied behind each other's backs.
Like now,
Jin can be seen reading material from the school library about the advancement of chakra manipulation or how to control it.
Not far away from him, Naruto also can be seen reading with a deep concentration to comprehend how to perform the only jutsu he constantly failed, Clone Jutsu.
What he found surprised him and caused him to read materials on how to Control Chakra and stuff like that.
He collected all types of Chakra control insight seeing that he had immense Chakra himself.
...
Before six in the afternoon, Jin immediately rushed back to the house planning to act callow busying himself with chores.
On his track, he suddenly came across a blond-haired girl tending the flowers beside a mature man sporting the same face as her.
His world started to come to a stop, butterflies danced in his heart trying their best to lift it.
The void seems to be vibrant pink while he loses his ability to use his motor functions.
Bam!
Crashing, he found himself kissing one of the stall's wooden fences with a contusion nose, bleeding.
"Ah, are you alright young man?" a woman exclaims walking out from the rear and helping the boy up.
Embarrassed, Jin decided to behave frivolity as if he hadn't crashed seconds ago.
"Nah, I'm good. I am just captivated by a certain sight, painting my vision pink" he waved his arm and dusted himself while giving the little girl a wink then immediately ran away to hide the embarrassment.
"Haha, what an interesting boy" exclaims the woman then looks at the daughter-father duo. "Ino, do you know who that is? By estimation, he's around the same age as you. He must be attending school, too"
"No, Mom, I don't know" Ino, the girl that causes the boy to stumble and fall in an embarrassing fall, replies with a red cheek.
"Mm," the man says looking thoughtful.
...
'What was that?' Jin can't stop thinking about a certain girl while doing his chores in a woolgathering state.
'Nah, I'm too young! No. Maybe it is a possibility of a child crush, yeah, that could happen' Smiling he resumed his tasks.
Naruto finally arrived with dirt all over his clothes as if he just returned from the playground.
Unlike canon, here, Naruto didn't give a shit about the contempt and disdain he received from his classmate and he also started to strike up a conversation with Hinata occasionally as she is the only person who shows no hostility toward him.
Luckily, Hinata was able to hold her ground when he started to distance himself from her when she always fainted, afraid he would completely distance himself.
"Ah, I started to train in chakra control and it seems helpful. Also, thanks to Hinata being my sparring partner, I started to develop a decent Taijutsu style suitable to me" Smiling, he looked over and saw Jin doing his chores. 'Hehe, just you wait to completely do the chores for a year'
Not forgetting their bets, Naruto snickers feeling like victory is near.
...
3:00 a.m
Click!
The window to the Jin-Uzumaki house slowly opens as Jin rushes out from it.
Jumping and landing on the pole, he looked back at the house and smiled.
"Well, it's not my fault if I trained extra hours before attending school, right?"
After that, he used a movement technique and vanished, heading toward their training ground with Gai.
Thud!
Landing, he took a deep breath and then started to stretch warming his body.
"First, let's try to break my physical limit again. I'll try to train my agility and dexterity now until I reach superhuman speed surpassing the Uchiha and Hyuga eyes"
After setting his goal, Jin started to work.
Looking at the various obstacles in front of him, Jin takes a deep breath the rushes toward the obstacles which is a combined effort between Kakashi, Gai, and Naruto including him.
When he reaches the red line, suddenly various traps are activated sending a series of projectiles.
"Grunt!" grunting, Jin tries his best not to interrupt his rhythm.
A senbon finds its way to his shoulder but he carries on.
Duck!
Sidestep!
Jump!
Roll!
Head lean!
Spin!
Pierce!
Various traps which are deadly fly targeting him while he tries his best to evade or dodge them.
After a gruesome time, Jin can be seen lying on his back with blood covering. Luckily, he change his clothes and do a bare training showcasing his scarred physique.
This is his request to the two to harden his resolve to become a shinobi and also to survive the world.
Not only that, but he also needs pressure to completely awaken his physique and reach its optimal state which is Superhuman, or surpasses by a grade.
Unlike his friend, who had the advantage of both physique and spirituality he wanted to be in the same league as Naruto.
But he didn't know, that his physiqcoulddld rival Jonin or even Kage if it was fully realized.
...
Five hours later.
Jin can be seen sitting in a lotus position as he meditates while his innate healing factors kick in leaving behind scars.
He had superhuman healing ability which he abused to train his body.
Sadly, he can't compare to Naruto who leaves no scars behind.
That guy is a monster in human skin.
Looking at himself and finding no more injuries, Jin decided to hear home.
...
Naruto didn't sleep all night trying to elevate his awareness of how to control his chakra and the reddish chakra.
He has been focused on these for the second week after school began. He began to be aware of what the red chakra entails and mistook it for his demon fox chakra, a chakra of his evil side as the villagers talk about it.
He also tells it to Jin who declares him to take over the red chakra and make it his own, by force or crook.
As it seems, the duo's goal is to become strong and achieve their dreams, and the best way to become strong, so anything that gives them strength must be used.
"I just need to control this rebellious chakra and make it mine!" Naruto's stubbornness causes the resident inside his subconscious to wake up, playing tuck-war games with him.
Causing the poor boy to have a hard time manipulating his chakra.
He didn't even have an inkling as to why. Naruto solely focuses on his chakra and controls the reddish chakra not knowing that it could be foreign as it is not known to the boy that he is a jinchūriki.
But that doesn't mean it didn't work. As much as his control over the reddish chakra, his chakra had been manipulated to the point where he could do clone jutsu and the rest of the academy's three jutsus.
