Standing before the entrance to the academy, Daiki had his arms crossed as he leaned against a familiar tree, right next to a very, very important swing set.
Many had already entered, dozens of teams from all different villages, some people he recognised, others he did not.
He wasn't alone either, many teams were chilling outside the building, the anxiousness from them palpable.
Disappointingly, the vast majority of the ones hesitating to enter were from the Leaf Village.
Many had their eyes on him, eyeing him curiously, both because of his relaxed state and because he was alone no doubt.
They probably thought he didn't notice their attention either, since he had his eyes closed, coolly. Too bad for them, his eyes could see through his eyelids should he so desire.
Well that, and because he just randomly spoke a second ago. Some of them seemed freaked out by his statement.
'….What are you doing?' Isobu questioned, sounding lost, 'What do you mean 'and so it begins'?'
'I'm setting the mood.' Daiki replied, rolling his closed eyes.
'You know, you're incredibly pretentious sometimes.' Isobu sighed, 'I know you think you're being cool and mysterious, but you're really not.'
'To you maybe,' Daiki gave an internal shrug, not an external just to be exact, 'See I've been thinking, but there's nothing saying this new variation of this world isn't being broadcasted in another world right now, and while it will probably still follow Naruto, other characters will get some spotlight, and I've already set my character path.'
Specifically, after Naruto's arc in Wave alongside Sasuke, where they really became true shinobi for the first time and saw how big the world really was, Daiki himself came barging in, crushed Sasuke, the main characters big rival, and was all epic, handsome, powerful, handsome, mysterious and handsome.
He basically cemented himself as that badass guy that the main character and his rival strove to surpass. The type of guy that got his own side series or show that ran parallel to the main one, and was generally liked even more.
'….You're an idiot, you've put far too much thought into this and you said handsome three times.' Isobu deadpanned.
'But you haven't said I'm wrong.' Daiki smugly pointed out, and he was just that handsome.
'It is highly unlikely, but not impossible as your own situation proves,' Isobu replied, heaving a sigh, 'You have been much more full of yourself the last few days, ever since you rutted with that Jonin.' the bijuu pointed out.
Daiki's only response, was a smirk.
He had not at all expected to lose his virginity a few days ago, and he definitely hadn't imagined Kurenai Yuhi would be the first woman he ever had sex with.
Well, he said sex, but honestly they just fucked like animals, no lovemaking involved. To be fair, she came around acting all haughty and arrogant, thinking she had the right to test him when as far as he knew nobody else was getting tested, and in the grand scheme of things, she was utter fodder, her only redeeming trait being her body really.
Honestly, he remembered her being quite bitchy in the original timeline as well, looking down on Naruto and the like. And he'd never really been a big fan of her.
Then she put herself up as the prize and well, the rest was history. Who knew Kurenai was actually a huge slut? And a size queen at that. She couldn't control herself at all when he 'summoned' his mighty 'Serpent King Manda: Sage Mode' when she stripped down and wiggled that sweet ass of hers at him.
Honestly, it was an amazing night. Not only had he got to have his way with a beautiful older woman, he got the chance to experiment with her body, grind out his skills as a lover and in the process, discovered something amazing.
Something he'd been hesitant to experiment with before until doing it on instinct with Kurenai.
Manipulating the nerve system with lightning chakra. He'd managed to figure out how to trigger pleasure in the nerves through his lightning chakra with her. He'd touched upon one of the main techniques he wanted to master above all others with her.
Now, he just needed to go down the path of learning to manipulate his nerve system with it, to heighten his overall speed, reaction time and reflexes.
He was so glad he hadn't totally lost himself in lust for a sweet round ass, fat pair of tits and lovely voice squealing beneath him and remembered the path of the grind.
His timetable had moved forward so much faster thanks to it.
Of course, it wasn't the only thing he'd worked on in the last week leading up to these exams after his night with Kurenai.
Thank fuck for Shadow Clones to be honest. With most of his house decorating done, he'd been able to assign some of his clones to studying his new Chakra Armour.
Specifically because, they were created through the fusion of chakra ore and fuinjutsu. The seal used in its creation for absorbing ninjutsu, was very reminiscent of the one within the Infinite Armour on his shoulder, except it automatically converted chakra absorbed into usable chakra for the wearer and added to their chakra coils.
Beyond that though, there was something in it he was very, very happy to get. A seal that created a barrier ninjutsu, a powerful one at that, that could ward off his strongest physical punches multiple times without wavering, it had taken over a hundred rapid fire blows at his strongest just to make it tremor.
The only real weakness the armour had at all, was a resonance with the other armours that weakened it and made it unstable.
Interestingly though, while most of the armour seemed to be of chakra ore with no elemental affinity, the blue trim on the ebony black armour, was different. It was lined with a lot of both wind chakra ore and water chakra ore, in a perfectly symmetrical and balanced amount.
Which when used together, seemed to generate what Daiki was sure, was ice type chakra.
'Though considering how much was used in it, not something I can replicate any time soon.' he huffed.
Seriously, there was a stupid amount of just water and wind chakra ore, probably a good thirty to fifty million ryo worth at least.
He'd give one thing to Doto at the very least, the guy went all out on his, or rather, Daiki's armour. To the point where Daiki, just from remembering the hand seals and having learned the Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu thanks to Isobu, was able to replicate the mans own technique.
Granted, the armour did all the heavy lifting for him, but it was still cool to be able to use even one ice style jutsu.
'Honestly, I'm looking pretty damn awesome these days.' Daiki admitted to himself proudly.
He opened his eyes, his status screen appearing before his vision.
[Chakra Capacity: 87,000/87,000 (Elite Jonin)]
[Chakra Control: 222/500]
[Lightning - (Advanced): Roar with the power of thunder.]
[Water - (Advanced): The sea parts before you.]
[Fuinjutsu - (Advanced): The breath hitches]
God just looking at his status screen made him want to punch his fist into the air and crow loudly about his sheer badassery. His lightning affinity had advanced when he made his little discovery with Kurenai, and his Water affinity had caught up quickly thanks to the knowledge Isobu passed on to him from Yagura and all his water jutsu.
He'd managed to finally get the last and most difficult of them all done just the other day thanks to his clones. His chakra capacity was getting more and more monstrous by the day, and that wasn't even getting into his physical stats or his taijutsu and ninjutsu.
Not to mention, his fuinjutsu had risen up a stage as well now that he had learned everything there was to know about the seals used in the creation of the Infinite Armour and the Chakra Armour and he had so, so many ideas dancing in his head.
Sure, with the time using shadow clones included, he'd probably actually been training for what amounted to two or so years, possible more in total, but hey;
'Am I a badass or what?' Daiki mentally preened as dismissed his status screen. He wasn't even going to acknowledge the stupid add on descriptions to his fuinjutsu and elemental affinities, he wouldn't give whatever it was, his subconscious or otherwise the satisfaction.
'…You're going to end up missing the exams if you don't hurry up and get a move on Mr. Badass.' Isobu prompted dryly.
'Oh right.' Daiki blinked, forgoing his mental masturbation and pushing himself up off the tree, it was already around half three in the afternoon now and the exam started at four.
With a confident swagger in his steps, Daiki made his way into the academy and towards the top floor where room 301 was located.
