(Regur POV)

  Once I was able to keep Ino from b me during my time in the academy I made goress with my taijutsu style. Sasuke being ever the grumpy try hard made an excellent practice dummy to test the effectiveness of what I came up with after the mimicry of eay beasts was plete. For example I learhat my hawk form despite being a faithful recreation of the way my hawk moved was absolute garbage. See I used my arms like wings and my feet as the talons but in a spar this simply didn't work.-

  As a result I had to remove the form from the style entirely as using my hands as talons basically only aplished the same thing my scorpion form did. I was only a little disappointed about this but chalked it up to simply how creating and refining a taijutsu style worked. It was only in my third year at the academy that I was forced to stop w on my taijutsu style and switch to learning ninjutsu as that was the focus of that point onward. First was the three basic jutsu that every ninja was supposed to know, substitution, e and transformation jutsus.-

  Substitution jutsu was the art of switg yourself out for something else nearby before you took damage. e jutsu was using chakra to create es of yourself though the teique was highly fwed with the es being uo take hits or directly attack either. That jutsu in particur caught my attention as my snake could do something simir except the es it created could both take hits and dish them out too. The final jutsu, transformation was a bit peculiar in that it used chakra to ge ones appearao anything roughly the same size as you were.-

  This jutsu much like the e jutsu was fwed in that if you took any damage it was celed and had several other fws as well such as needing to mates chakra signature, the drain on the chakra reserves and even that it required absolute precision in the image you created. In other words it was basically useless against experieninjas unless you specialized ih and espioill in order to graduate you o be able to use all three jutsu at minimum.-

  'I feel like I might have over trained my chakra trol.' I thought with a frown as I pulled off the jutsus on my first time without any issue.

  The issue was that everyone in the css was staring at me in surprise since Iruka sensei had firmed that nobody knew how to use it before he demonstrated it for us. The jutsu were all just that simple when it came to how you o mold your chakra.

  "Very good Kenzo, you are already ready to graduate if you would like to apply for it." Iruka said with a hopeful look.

  "And good would that do me besides painting a target on my back during missions? Everyone knows that if you see a kid much youhan the rest of his squadmates they are a genius and should be killed before they grow." I said shaking my head.

  Iruka sensei grimaced but clearly couldn't argue with that logic as it was very much true. It might not be a written rule for any of the vilges but it was one of those things that everyone did if they came in tact with such a situation. Early graduation was not a good idea at all unless I was only a year or two youhan my squadmates at which point I would likely not stand out in terms of age.-

  It was one of those things I had over others my age in that I looked older than I was as I was tall and my body was deceptively muscur. By that I mean you couldn't tell that I ure refined muscle under my clothes with how lean I was. If I was oh I would be sidered a freak of nature as a year old should not have such a body but in this world it wasn't that stra all thanks to chakra making physical training not so detrimental at my age.-

  A good example was Rock Lee who trained his own body relentlessly since he couldn't mold his chakra. Not that he didn't have any mind you, just that he couldn't shape it into ninjutsu. This wasn't a skill issue either but a sort of birth defe a way that was rare but not unheard of. Anyways his way of traini despite being about the same age his body was also very muscur and freakish by earth standards.-

  Anyways I had basically already decided that I was going to graduate in two years rather than the four that it normally would have taken. The reason was very simple as well, restris. I was well aware that while I was in the academy the highest rank of jutsu I would be able to get access to would be the k ones. Not to mention I was starting to have issues improving my taijutsu style as despite mimig my beasts perfectly none of my cssmates were skilled enough to help me find any fws iyle and as a result I was having trouble finding them myself.-

  I imagihat the same would likely hold true for ninjutsu as well but thankfully there were a lot of those avaible at the lower ranks so I could always just move to another after I got stuck with one. My Idea was quite simple as far as learning ninjutsu was ed, I wanted one of each. I had already tested my affinity by purchasing some chakra paper to test it and discovered my chakra lit equally between all seven natures with each being just as strong as the others.-

  Obviously I hadn't revealed this information sinething told me that it was reted to my sage mode stantly being active. After some reading up on chakra natures I patted myself on the bay wisdom as most people have only a single dominant nature and a few have at most three but no one had all seven be dominant like me. An iing thing I figured out was how to "lie" to the paper about my affinity by purposefully off bang my chakra. Thanks to this I maintaihe illusion of being a genius as my paper test showed earth, lightning and yang affinities.-

  Basically my paper kled, crumbled and expanded when I ran chakra through it in front of my parents. I couldn't keep my chakra off bance for long though or I started to stiffen from the nature energy rampaging in my body. I wasirely sure what would happen if I left my chakra unbanced but something told me I didn't want to find out. Still thanks to showing my affio my parents they promised to try and find some low rank jutsus for me to learn.
