I grasped the soft, beautiful and very appetising ass...ahem, it happened accidentally, but without showing it, I lifted it up in the same position, which made Mina involuntarily hugged me and moaned softly. Heh, it certainly looks insanely sexy, but there was no reaction from my body. Well, what can I say, it's a shame... It's okay, though. I'll have time for that, but in the meantime I have something important to do. In the same position I reached my room, which was already spacious, with a double bed and new furniture, chosen by me personally at the Auction, as well as a few personal belongings. Halfway there, I felt damp in places, and Mina clung to me even tighter. Switching off the light, I laid her on the bed and watched the most mesmerising picture of a girl in a pink nightie with dark pink underwear. Ahem, anyway, not up to it right now. Although, I wonder how my body still did not burst with hormones and body did not pounce on the representative of the fair sex, who defended this title, from such a situation. Well, I guess you can't argue with physiology. I have to wait, and while I'm waiting I can play. Although, like I said, not tonight.
- Mina, lie down and don't move. And you can close your eyes too. - I told her, after which she immediately complied with my request and lay motionless on the bed.
I opened the Player Auction window and entered the name of the item I wanted. There is such a function in the Auction, almost like Google Search, which in no time can find the item I need and do not have to look for it myself in the sections of this or that kind of items. Pretty much the same way I found information. A second later I found the item I needed and after spending some of the Soul Crystals I had, I was in possession of a mysterious, to some, syringe with a red liquid inside. Taking it in my hands, I looked at the still lying motionless Mina and took her hand. Slowly pushing the syringe into her, I felt her flinch in surprise, but she didn't resist. When I was done, I placed the empty syringe back into my inventory and looked back at the girl.
- I'm done, you can open your eyes.
- Huh, Love, what was that? Did you inject me with something? - she said in a tired voice and tried to get up and collapsed back on the bed.
- Don't get up. Relax and go back to sleep. When you wake up, you'll get a little present. - I smiled and she relaxed, then I could see from her breathing rhythm that she was already asleep. - Heh, tomorrow will be Naruto's first day at the Academy. Looks like I'll get to see the other main characters. I'm looking forward to tomorrow too! - Closing Mina up, I lay down next to her myself, catching a glimpse with the Byakugan that her chakra system was starting to change and its volume was increasing. Heh, this is the first time I'm seeing this from the outside....
***
I woke up jerkily, and the first thing that came to my mind was, "Why can't I see Mina in front of me?" As I looked around, I realised she was still asleep in her seat. Hmm, that's weird. Like, when she sleeps over, I always see her lying either on top of me or snuggled up close to my side. Why is it different tonight? Running these thoughts through my head, I wandered to the bathroom, the door to which was right in my room. Ahh, a private bathroom is awesome! But wait, I have Mina in the room with me. So it's not private anymore. Well, there's no point in waiting for her outside. Whatever. Already in the bathroom for morning procedures I looked in the mirror, looking for an answer to my previous question and suddenly....
- Exactly! - Two things came to my mind that I couldn't remember until I woke up. But one of them had to be checked out soon! I burst into my room with a toothbrush in my mouth and a considerable amount of foam in it, and found a surprised Mina looking at her hands, clenching them intermittently. Looking at her with my Zenki, I was convinced that it had worked. After a second, the realisation of what had happened, well, not all of it, but only part of it, came to Mina, and a happy smile played on her face and her eyes glistened to the max. - ∆0б₽0€ ¥†₽0. - I somehow slurred my words with my mouth full of paste and drew her attention to myself.
- Favourite!!! - Wow, that's some speed! Mina threw herself on top of me twice as fast as she usually did, throwing me to the floor and kissing me without paying attention to anything. And just as quickly, she hugged me, and with considerable strength! Apparently her physical characteristics jumped several times too. Wow. She was already very fast and strong at the level of Chunin, and with the Uzumaki gene, her physical abilities can even compete with the weak Jonin, and if she also gets used to the new abilities and train! Ugh, I don't feel like touching her anymore! She's going to break me in at least five places!
- Reinforcement! - Whew, that's a pass. Even though my body is strong, but when it's being squeezed with such force, even I'll feel pain! Apparently, she's really out of control, or she's just overjoyed and doesn't realise how much she's hugging me. Well, it was mostly my arms and back that hurt, but Mina's soft form was still pleasant to the touch, perhaps even more so than before. - That's it, Mina. We have to see Naruto off to the Academy.
- Oh, yes! I'm sorry, my love! I'll get ready right away! - Even though she said that, she didn't stop hugging me, just lifted her face and broke away from the kiss.
- Heh, although your reserve has increased and your physique and health has increased, but your control has gone down a lot. Could you please not hold me so tightly?
- Hmm? I'm doing the same as before.
- Heh, okay. Just let go. Then we'll talk some more and practice.
- Practice?!
- Yeah, don't you want to go back to being a Kunoichi?
- Yes! I'd like that, my love. We can train together, go on missions, travel to countries... - Mina finally pulled away from me and stood up and walked to the bathroom, happily listing everything she was thinking about in a dreamy tone.
- Heh, okay. And now for the next event. - I got up too and went in after Mina.....
When I went downstairs, yes, my room was already on the first floor, I saw a funny picture of Clone laughing merrily with Mariko discussing something with her, both of them wearing beautiful Kimono with the Clan mark in some places.
- Morning. What are you doing? - I asked them.
- Menma? Why are you wearing normal clothes? - Ryoshi stared at me in surprise.
- Why? Is something wrong? - Really, what's wrong?
- It's Naruto's entrance into the Academy today. Even Mina's wearing a Kimono. Change into something more traditional. - Mina did dress like that, but I didn't think it was because of that. But still, what's the problem?
- Ryoshi-kun, I don't think it's necessary. - Mariko-san smiled at Clone
- Menma, there will be a large number of Clan Heads there with their families. Many of their children are entering the first year of the Academy this year. - He wouldn't stop.
- You're the face of the Clan, so it's your duty to show off in traditional robes at all times. Especially at my age. Even though I'm Tokubetsu-Jonin, I'm still eleven.
- Heh, okay. Then at least wear your rank's body armour.
- Okay. - Hmm, I think that's a good idea. Still, some people still confuse me with Genin, so I'd rather go with the Vest tag. Although, pissed off people might still just not recognise me as Tokubetsu-Jonin, no matter what my Vest is. And how will these people not realise that fake Vests usually get you arrested and it's stupid to walk around in the middle of the village with one? Even the zero reaction of the Konoha Police, who have a Sharingan that can easily spot a fake, can tell that the Vest is obviously real!
I changed clothes and took a food pill, which didn't taste good and only made me feel hungry for a while, and went out with Karin and Naruto. I skipped breakfast for a simple reason. I'd overslept it, and Admission was coming up soon. It took less time for Mina to receive the Uzumaki gene, thanks to the accelerated version of the injection, but it was still a lot of time, and Clone, having made up his own mind, decided not to bother us. They'll come out when they're done with their business. That's how it turned out. All the way, the young Uzumaki waited impatiently for the Ceremony to begin. Surprisingly both Naruto and Karin were quite energetic, and it wasn't like the two of them used to hide from the sight of every person on the path. Apparently they got used to it quickly and were on their merry way today. Actually, I was a little surprised at first that they were so aloof. In the anime they seemed very energetic, especially Naruto. I remembered the kid who was having fun colouring other people's houses, and you couldn't tell that he was hiding behind his brother's back from the stares of unfamiliar eyes. Well, I probably changed something in the canon when I interacted with Naruto at the orphanage. It didn't matter anymore, though.
After a few minutes of leisurely pacing, after jogging with Shunshin's help, we reached the Academy, where a good number of Shinobi were already crowded together. Yeah, there really are a lot of Clan Heads here this time. Nara, Inuzuka, Yamanaka, Sarutobi, Kurama, Akimichi, Aburame, Hyuga, Uchiha, Haruno...but no, that last one doesn't count as a Clan. It's just a simple Clanless family, though for some reason some fans from my old world thought that white circle on Tsipao Sakura's back was the sign of her Clan, but that's nonsense. Hmm, there's a lot of familiar faces here. Fugaku, Mikoto, Itachi and baby Sasuke. Ryoshi decided to say hello to their family and talked to the Head Uchiha, while I held Naruto's hand and looked at the rest of the familiar faces.
Oh, lobast...Sakura, yes. The bitch is the last one. Even though she's just an innocent little pink-haired girl with a red bow now, but in the future that bitch is going to act like a real Bitch! Heh, I remember not really hating her in the past world, but hating the manga author's wife more. As I recall, she was kinda the reason Kishimoto didn't do any romantic moments with Naruto and Hinata because she insisted on pairing Naruto and Sakura. I didn't like the fact that she was one of the most important characters at all and in the battle with Kaguya she was given attention too. And the way she went head-to-head with Madara...in short, I just don't like this character. And my negativity towards her only increased when I learnt that she was real(!) and that all those situations were real! That's also the case with Hiruzen. When I was watching the anime, and I wrote off all those strange actions to the author's mistakes and thought he was a good guy in the anime, but when I found out that it was real...!!!!!! If I see her beating up my brother for nothing, after all the times he saved her and risked his life! Naruto definitely needed to get it into his head that ungrateful idiots like her could be left to die if they only wanted to be rescued by a prince on a white horse with a sharingan in his eyes.
But there's a chance that won't happen, because I don't think Naruto really liked her at all. Firstly, that incident at the Chunin Exam, when Sakura wanted to talk about the cursed seal on Sasuke. That time, Naruto kind of defended Sakura when Sasuke got mad at her for it, but as soon as Sasuke mentioned that he wanted to fight Naruto as well, he immediately forgot about the Pink-Haired One. Secondly, the rivalry between Sasuke and Naruto. Naruto always wanted to beat him and defeat the Uchiha. So I guess Naruto said he loved Sakura, and maybe even believed it himself, but that was only because of Sasuke's attraction to her and nothing else. I'm sure that if Sakura didn't like the black-haired one, then Naruto wouldn't pay attention to that bitch who insults the name of a beautiful spring tree, one of my favourites, with her name.
By the way, Minami doesn't seem to recognise her cousin at all, nor does she pay any attention to her aunt and uncle. I'd say that's weird, but I think she's just thinking about her newfound strength and reserve and not paying attention to anyone, except Naruto and me, of course. Karin, on the other hand, was walking arm in arm with her mum and looking at everyone, occasionally casting confused glances at Sasuke, who was standing next to her holding Itachi's hand. When Naruto and I approached him, the little reincarnations said hello and started discussing something amongst themselves, while I was already talking to Itachi. He was occasionally glancing awkwardly at Minami and apparently still hadn't fully digested the fact that she was my girlfriend. Looking around carefully, I noticed the Yamanaka Family. Specifically the young daughter of that family, Ino. Heh, what can I say, nice girl. I like her better as a girlfriend for my little brother. Hmm, looking at Naruto I can guess why his beauty is not appreciated. His facial expression is always smiling and cheerful, and his smile itself, as much as I love my brother, I'll tell you the fact that he has a smile like a fool. But I like it, which I can't say for the female gender. Yeah, if Naruto had been as poker-faced as I was and had the manners of an older man, girls might have started chasing after him. But why would he change for them, and I don't really like it. I'd rather he stay the same as he is now. No, I'll give him a good workout so he doesn't get beaten up by geniuses like Neji.
Speaking of which. I quickly found the Hyuga family and found...Hinata, who wasn't taking her eyes off me. What? How did I not notice? I must have been distracted. But that's not the point. When I looked back at her, she hid behind...what? Why was she hiding behind Neji, who was looking at the princess of the Hyuga Clan in a bewildered and uncomfortable manner!!!! Now, what kind of situation is this?! Didn't Neji hate her and the entire Main Branch? So why does he care about Hinata so much? Something's not right here. Turning my gaze to the older Hugues, I was shocked even more. What's going on here?! Why are there TWO Hiashi?! Two Hugues that look exactly alike. Although no, one of them has his forehead covered for some reason...just like Neji's.
- Of course! - I suddenly said out loud.
- Menma? Is something wrong? - My friend turned to me, to which I could only scratch the back of my head and smile awkwardly.
- No, nothing. I just remembered something.
- What's that? - What the hell was he so interested in?
- Oh, it's just that... Daruma! That's right!
- Daruma? What about him?
- His sister! Yeah, I think if she's ten years old, she should be graduating from the Academy in a year.
- No. You probably don't remember because we graduated so quickly, but now kids become Genin at twelve, not eleven like before. Only last year's Apprentices graduated at eleven. That's why Sasuke and Naruto and Karin are entering the Academy at six, not five like us.- Oh, right, I forgot that at their age we were already ranked Genin.
- Yeah, by the way, our past classmates have all become Genin.
- Ah, Izumi, Iruka, Hana and the others? I wonder what they've become. I haven't seen them in a while.
- You didn't even talk to them the whole year we were in school, did you?
- Yes, but I still wonder what they've done.
- Me too, to be honest.
Hmm, kind of got away with it. And about the Hyuga situation, I forgot what I did when I rescued Princess Hyuga. I made sure that Hiashi didn't kill the Ambassador of Kumo and ruin the whole treaty with his outburst of aggression and revenge. Kumogakure didn't ask for the body of the Head of the Hyuga Clan, and Hizashi, I think that was his name, didn't give his life to save his brother. Hiashi is probably because of his brother and remained kinder than in the anime and that's why Ryoshi was able to get along with him. Hence Neji's behaviour is also quite understandable. He seemed to be interested in his cousin and wasn't so aggressive towards her before his father died, and now he has a pretty good relationship with Hinata, which means he's not going to talk about Destiny and stuff like that. By the way, the funny thing was that Naruto was the one who convinced him that there was no fate and everyone determines their own future. Considering that Naruto was the blue-eyed destiny that would either save the world or ruin it according to Toad's predictions, it seems ridiculous.
Clone was approached by the Hyuga family too, as was Nara and Yamanaka...all in all it looks like a good relationship he's going to build with everyone. I'd hazard a guess that they came to discuss Ryoshi's idea of a MAGAZINE. Yeah, he's going to put so much good stuff in there for the Shinobi of this Village that every Clan Head wants to sign a contract with this self-proclaimed Businessman. I was listening to the Hokage's speech, but there was nothing to do, so I listened, and at the same time I explained some points to Naruto and did not let him get into this contagion called the Will of Fire! Sometimes I noticed the young Byakugan princess glaring at me, hiding every time I looked at her. After that, I decided to look at my Reputation with her. Little if she might have changed.
Reputation window:
Hinata Hyuga 4350.
Hmm, and she has indeed changed. At our last meeting, I earned 2000 Rep with her due to Bisyonen's Smile and another 1000 for saving her. Then, after I left, I got two 500 reputation, apparently Hiashi had explained to her the danger she was in and told her who I was. But now for some reason I got another 350. I wonder why? I didn't see her following me like she did Naruto in the canon. Maybe she got a better look at me. It was pretty dark that day, though the moon was shining brightly...Hoh, I felt a chill run down my spine, like I'd said the wrong thing. Ugh, weird. Well, going back to Repa with her, she's really tall, with only one meeting and now a second one where she's just staring at me, occasionally hiding behind an uncomprehending Neji. Is she really that grateful to be saved? Well, maybe she was, maybe she was scared in that potato sack, but really, it was the same sack I keep potatoes in, and it was the same sack Jonin Kumogakure used to carry her in. Although I thought she was passed out and only woke up afterwards. Hmm, judging by the way she's looking at me like that, I'd hazard a guess that she can't dare to come over and thank me. Well, it'd be weird to approach the little princess myself, so I'll leave it at that. Maybe the next time I see her, I'll address her as Naruto's classmate and talk to her. In the meantime, I can just smile at the girl and wave, showing that I remembered her.
Attention!

Well, now there's something that needs to be done. The edit is small of course, but hopefully it'll work. Looking at Sasuke, who was actively trying not to notice Karin, Ino, Sakura and a dozen other teenage lovers staring at him and talking to Naruto, he called out to him.
- Sasuke, come here.
- Brother Menma? - he ran up to me and looked at me in anticipation. Itachi also turned his attention to us.
- Sasuke, can you fulfil my request?
- What is it?
- You see your groupies staring at you for half an hour?
- They're not my groupies!
- Okay, okay. Just don't look in their direction. Remember the pink-haired girl with the bow?
- Yeah, I do.
- Wow, so you're not ignoring them after all, are you?
- No, I'm not! She's just one of the most annoying ones!
- All right, all right, you're right. Anyway, I'm gonna ask you not to mess with her in any way and not let Naruto do it, okay?
- Why?
- Oh, so you're interested in her?
- I'm not!
- Ha ha ha, I'm just kidding, never mind. But I'm serious about the request. Also, don't sit with her in class. You should sit with Naruto and-- Oh! With that girl with the dark blue hair and white eyes, you remember her, right?
- Yeah, but why?
- Don't think about it. If you do that, I'll train you in Shurikenjutsu. I'm even better at it than your big brother. Am I right, Itachi? - I asked Raven, who was standing nearby, listening quietly.
- Yes, Menma is better at it than I am.
- Really?! I'll do it! I'll do it, Brother Menma!
- If you do well, I'll give you the Fourth Hokage's Kunai you like as a present.
- Hooray!
- Brother! What did you say to Sasuke? - Naruto came running up to us and stared at me with a begging look on his face.
- He said he'd train us if we got good marks today. - Sasuke said with a smile as he looked at Naruto and then winked at me sweetly. Sasuke, I knew you'd be good at this!
- You did!!! I'll definitely get the best scores!!! - jumped up and down vigorously and shouted.
- Yes, yes, the ceremony is almost over, it's time for you to go to your Chunin Sensei. - Itachi said, and then I saw all the freshmen gathered around the Academy Teachers.
- Yes." Sasuke said in a measured tone and looked at Naruto.
- Yes!" my brother said in a louder voice and rushed off to his class, not even waiting for his friend, who waited for him and then ran to the classroom after Naruto.
- Why are you doing this? - My dark-haired friend asked, looking at his brother running away.
- So that Naruto wouldn't make the wrong choice.
- Heh, they're kids.
- And who started looking at Izumi-chan when she was six? - I quipped at Itachi, causing him to turn away in embarrassment and mutter.
- How can you not look at her when she's so persistent? - He didn't say it to me, but I heard him and smiled.
- Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Listen, don't you want to watch them?
- No, I have to go back to NSAU HQ now, sorry Menma.
- It's okay, go ahead. Just remember to take a rest from this job and don't get too caught up in it.
- I will. - Itachi disappeared into Shunshin, while I used Body Shimmer and climbed up one of the buildings around the Academy, opposite the window to Naruto's classroom. Using Invisibility, I activated my Eyes and waited for the students to arrive. Finally, when they arrived, I saw that Sasuke had sat down at the centre desk and Naruto was about to sit down there, but Sakura was already flying at him, intending to push her brother down and sit in his place, and a few centimetres away from Naruto she fell to the floor. But at the same time Sasuke realised what was going on and stopped Naruto, and then after a second he pointed out that another boy had helped her up. His brother was a little confused as to what had happened, but he wasn't given time to think. Ino jumped up from the back of the desk and with a small leap fell between Naruto and Sasuke, grinning at the standing up Sakura, who only had her clothes a little dirty in the dust. Seeing her rival in her "reserved place", the pink-haired girl was seething with anger and wanted to lash out at the princess of the Yamanaka Clan, who was in a defensive stance and preparing to take the blow, but Naruto blocked her path and got hit in the face, but didn't fall backwards, but stood there, not giving any hint of being hurt.
- What are you doing, you fool!!! - Sakura shouted angrily.
- You wanted to attack her. - Naruto said, still standing between Ino and Sakura. Ino, meanwhile, was staring at Naruto's back in surprise and didn't say anything.
- Hey, what happened back there? - The teacher turned his attention to the scene in the centre of the classroom.
- Nothing happened, Sensei. - Naruto wiped his face with his hand, which was the one Sakura had hit in the attack, and smiled at his Master with a thirty-two smile.
- Alright, take your seats. Haruno, this concerns you too. - He looked reproachfully at Sakura, who with a still disgruntled face sat down on the desk behind Naruto and was subsequently joined by Choji and Shikamaru. When Naruto sat down in his seat, Ino still looked at him in surprise at first, but then turned away from the stare and introduced herself to Sasuke and said hello to him, which he simply ignored. Naruto then decided to introduce himself and say hello to Ino as well.
- And my name is Naruto Uzumaki, Dattebayo. Nice to meet you. - Yamanaka turned around to look at him and after a second she replied.
- M-my name is Ino Yamanaka, it's nice to meet you too. But what's with Dattebajo?
- Silence in the classroom! - The teacher interrupted the kids, not only Uzumaki and Yamanaka, by banging his book on his desk a couple of times, and they all fell silent.
- Heh, Naruto's doing more or less fine. - I said and pulled my shadow back, and then I switched my Invisibility back on and went to my Polygon, which is now officially mine, since Ryoshi bought some for Clan Polygons and they cover quite a large area and no one can see what's under the barrier, so you can practice large scale Techniques....
