Rin was having a normal day.
Well, as normal as learning to be a child soldier in the academy…..
. . .
She listened as Toka, the academy teacher, droned on about a specific period of the First Hokage's generation.
"...And then, after forming an alliance with the Uchiha's clan's ancestor Madara Uchiha,
the hidden lead Village was formed…..
Later, the Uchiha clan leader turned traitor and after a Grand battle at a Valley now known as the Valley of the End, the first Hokage, Hashirama, killed the traitor and successfully returned to the village in peace…"
. . .
As usual, everyone sat in their usual spots as some were paying attention to the lesson like Rin, some were spacing out, and some were downright sleeping on the desk.
Asuma was pretending to pay attention as he stole glances at Kurenai. Kurenai, like Rin, was actively paying attention.
Genma was staring at the seemingly interesting wall as he silently chewed on a bamboo stick.
Izumo and Kotetsu (the future village guards) were secretly trying not to laugh as they shared an inside joke with each other.
Hayate Gekko, was silently snoring on the desk, as he had slight bags under his eyes.
Anko (the future disciple of Orochimaru) was silently chewing on her fingers as she was seething at how Hayate was making a disturbance next to her by snoring to the point only she could hear it.
Yugao, who was twirling a strand of her purple hair with a finger, and was among the only ones along with Kurenai and Rin who were paying attention.
The rest of the students were Fodder who did one of the three things in the classroom.
Rin sighed as she stole a glance at the seemingly empty seat next to her.
. . .
"Obito is late again….." she thought.
. . .
Suddenly the door slid open as a young boy entered.
"Oh?" Toka said.
With the disturbance in front of the classroom, Rin turned to look at the boy.
Anko, Kurenai, and Yugao also turned to look at him.
Asuma and Genma were snapped out of their trance, Izumo and Kotetsu jumped up as they were startled, while Gekko snapped awake as the seemingly comical snore bubble popped.
The rest of the fodder were surprised at the boy's sudden appearance.
Toka turned to look at the boy. He originally thought that Obito had arrived late again, but after remembering the Hokage's arrangements for a new student, Toka recognized the boy.
As the rest of the students were confused at seeing this new figure, Toka raised his voice.
"A new student would be joining us. He will be attending the Academy with you until you graduate.
Toka formally gestured to the boy and pointed at the class.
"Please introduce yourself."
The boy smiled and walked up in front of the podium.
He stared into each students eyes as the classroom was silent.
He slowly bowed as he crossed one arm in front of his chest and crossed one arm behind his back.
"I am Amon. Amon Tsuchi. A pleasure to meet you all...."
. . .
As Amon bowed in front of the classroom, Rin observed the boy. The first thought in her mind was handsome. His seemingly noble appearance gave him a scholarly vibe, and with his black eyes that seemed to resemble the void, the boy left an impression with his presence.
It wasn't just Rin however, everyone in the classroom had the same thoughts as they took in Amon's striking appearance.
With the boy's introduction, Toka nodded and left a comment to Amon.
"Please meet me at my office after class."
Afterwards, he told Amon to sit on a empty seat at the back of the classroom.
As Amon was heading towards his seat, eyes lingered at his figure until he sat down.
Toka coughed and clapped his hands.
"With that introduction, lets get back to the lesson."
Soon enough, the classroom returned to its previous mood.
The only exception was that the cast stole glances at Amon every now and then. The boy kept on that permanent smile as he stared at the lecturing Chunin.
- - - - - - -
Finally, the lecture had ended, and Toka walked out the door.
The previously quiet class suddenly burst into a myriad of noises. Some students left while others broke into conversations. Part of the main cast, however, walked up to the still seated boy.
Asuma, Kurenai, Genma, and Anko stopped in front of boy's desk.
Anko introduced herself first.
Grinning like a child, she pointed at herself with a thumb. "My names Anko! The future strongest Kunoichi!"
Shaking his head, Genma spoke as he moved the bamboo stick to the corner of his mouth. "My name's Genma. Whats up?"
Asuma spoke with his hands in his pocket. "My name's Asuma Sarutobi. I heard from my Dad the other day that we were going to have a new student at the academy. If you have any questions you can ask me."
Lastly Kurenai spoke with her hands behind her back. "My name's Kurenai Yūhi. Nice to meet you!"
Listening to their introductions Amon smiled.
"As you heard when I introduced myself earlier, my name's Amon. I hope you can take care of me while I'm at the academy."
. . .
Suddenly while the others were following up with a conversation, the front door of the classroom opened with a loud noise.
A disheveled young boy with orange goggles stood in front of the classroom. He had leaves and branches stuck in his hair, while his clothes were slightly torn.
"I'M *pant* *pant* HERE!"
His eyes widened in horror when he realized the Chunin was absent.
. . .
Rin who hadn't yet walked up to Amon to introduce herself, looked at the boy in pity.
"Obito..... class already ended...." she said.
Obito clutched his head in panic as leaves fell onto the floor.
"Oh nooo!! My Grandma's going to kill me when I get home!! I took way too long trying to save that damn cat stuck in the tree!"
He dropped to the ground on his knees, and stared at the floor in defeat.
Looking at Obito with an amused smile, Amon stood up and walked past the students in front of him and stopped in front of the mourning boy.
. . .
"Hello Obito."
. . .
Obito raised his and widened his eyes in recognition.
"Amon! So you were assigned to my class!"
The mourning boy's mood suddenly shifted as Obito stood up and gave off a blinding grin.
"We can meet up everyday now!! Lets be friends!!!"
Amon sighed and looked at Obito.
"Shouldn't you go meet up with Toka at his office?? I was just about to go there."
Obito's grin disappeared as he returned to his previous state.
Behind Amon, Rin sighed and walked up to him.
Hearing footsteps, Amon turned around.
A young girl with brown hair and purple patch marks on her cheeks.
She shyly spoke: "Hi Amon... My name is Rin Nohara. Please take care of Obito... He's a bit of a trouble maker, you see..."
Amon gave the girl a smile. "Don't worry Rin. I'll take care of him."
With that he turned to Kurenai, Asuma, Anko, and Genma and waved.
Afterwards, he grabbed Obito by the scruff of his shirt and dragged him out of the classroom.
. . .
Watching Amon and Obito leave, Anko let out a tsk.
"That guy's late again? I honestly wouldn't even know he was an Uchiha if someone hadn't told me."
Asuma sighed and shook his head. "Supposedly, my dad said to me he's late every day because he's helping people..."
Kurenai looked worriedly at Obito. "I hope he's ok..."
Genma however didn't give a damn as he rolled his eyes.

"AND MAKE SURE YOU ARRIVE IN CLASS- ON- TIME!"
An angry voice echoed from the office as students that walked past its entrance hurried their steps.
Then, Obito flew out of the entrance of the office and smashed into the wall ahead. He collapsed onto the floor as a red bump appeared on his head.
Amon was whistling in his mind as he watched the huffing and puffing Chunin let out deep breaths.
After Toka calmed down, he addressed Amon.
"Alright Amon was it? The Hokage told me that you haven't learned basic training yet... From now on, I'm going to be your private tutor and give you additional lessons out of class after my lessons."
With that Toka pointed outside his window.
"Follow me." he said.
Toka walked out of the office as Amon followed him.
While Toka ignored the still collapsed boy on the ground, Amon looked at Obito and waved at him with a smile.
Soon, they arrived outside and took positions outside a small field.

Amon and Toka stood face to face outside.
"Alright, now listen to me carefully while following my instructions..." toka said.
Amon put on a serious expression as he intently looked at the Chunin
Lumian was finally going to learn Chakra.

He finally met the main cast.... or the side cast.... eh, Naruto's not alive right now so they are the main cast.
