Sento watched from the dimensional plane as the dust of the night's battle with Mizuki settled. The dimensional plane is a plane where he can observe the Naruto world comfortably, he got it from 10 draws.
[System Alert: Team RWBY helped Naruto defeat Mizuki – Reward: 10 Summoning Draws]
[System Alert: Team RWBY graduated from the Ninja Academy – Reward: 10 Summoning Draws]
[Total Draws Available: 30]
Notifications from the system popped in rapid succession, as Team RWBY defeated Mizuki with Naruto, which gave Sento 10 more draws and 10 more for Team RWBY becoming Genin, with previous leftovers 10 draws, Sento now has 30 draws.
He grinned, pleased with the progression. "Let's save them for later," Sento muttered, his eyes following the young heroes as they stepped into the next chapter of their journey.
—------------------------
The next morning, warmth bathed the streets of Konohagakure. Excitement buzzed in the air. The graduation ceremony had come and gone, and newly minted genin were crowding the Hokage building to receive their certificates and take their official team photos.
Naruto stood front and center in the photo booth room, grinning like a maniac. He threw up peace signs with both hands, chin up, eyes closed in exaggerated pride. Behind him, Sasuke glared sideways with a bored scowl. Sakura did her best to look composed, only to secretly try to sneak glances at Sasuke.
In another corner of the room, Team RWBY gathered in their own frame. Ruby, beaming with her usual energy, leaned on her massive red scythe. Weiss stood perfectly posed, chin tilted with regal poise. Blake looked sideways at the camera, calm and collected. Yang rested her hands on her hips, wearing her confident smirk.
"Alright! Say ninja!" the photographer called.
"NINJA!" Ruby and Naruto shouted together.
Click!
One by one, the new genin received their certificates. The room slowly cleared out… except for one lingering debate that had drawn a small crowd.
"I'm just saying," Weiss said coolly, "that if you think you're the best genin here just because of your Sharingan, then you're delusional."
Sasuke scoffed. "I don't need to think about it. It's a fact. You think those icy little tricks of yours can stand up to an Uchiha?"
Weiss narrowed her eyes. "I've defeated shinobi with more power than your smug attitude."
Yang laughed from the side. "Oof. Frost Queen versus Emo Avenger. This is better than a fight."
Ruby tried to defuse the tension. "Guys! We just graduated. Can we please have at least one hour of peace?"
Sasuke turned his back. "Tch. Waste of time."
Weiss huffed and turned the other way.
Blake gave Ruby a flat look. "So… this is going to be our daily life now?"
_____________________
Outside the Hokage tower, Naruto was already wandering through the village, basking in his new status. "I'm officially a ninja now! Believe it!"
That's when a blur of brown and goggles slammed into his back.
"Oof! What the—?!"
"Shadow attack!!" shouted a tiny voice.
Naruto rolled over to see a small boy sitting on his chest, arms folded triumphantly.
"Oh, it's you…" Naruto muttered. "Konohamaru."
"That's Honorable Grandson to you!" Konohamaru corrected, puffing up his cheeks.
From behind a nearby post, a woman approached—tall, graceful, and with an aura of steel masked beneath a pleasant smile. She had long black hair tied back and wore a jonin vest over a tailored red blouse. On her hip were throwing needles and a set of reinforced gloves.
"Konohamaru, that's not how we greet people," she said gently.
Naruto blinked. "Wait… Who're you?"
The woman bowed politely. "Yor Forger. I'll be Konohamaru's new instructor."
Yor is a B-rank summon, Sento had used a World Editor Token the night before, officially integrating Yor into the Naruto world and elevating her to Jonin rank with a forged ninja record. A perfect blend of nurturing presence and terrifying strength.
"Eh? What happened to that old perv who used to teach him?" Naruto asked.
"Ebisu was… reassigned," Yor replied with a faint smile.
Konohamaru stood proudly. "Ms. Yor is the best! She's way stronger than that other guy!"
Yor smiled politely but placed a hand on Konohamaru's head. "Flattery won't get you out of training."
Naruto chuckled. "Heh. I like her."
Suddenly, Konohamaru looked serious. "Naruto, I've been thinking. I want to be Hokage. But I realized… you're my rival now!"
Naruto blinked. "Huh?"
"I mean, you beat that Mizuki guy and used that crazy clone technique! You're ahead of me!"
Naruto scratched his head sheepishly. "Hehe… I guess I am kinda cool."
"To beat you, I've been working on my ultimate technique! Sexy Jutsu!"
"Wait, what—"
Puff! In a cloud of smoke, Konohamaru transformed… into a weirdly distorted, awkwardly shaped version of a large woman with too much makeup and a crooked smile.
Naruto's face twisted. "What the—what is that?!"
"I call it: Ugly Sexy Jutsu!" Konohamaru announced proudly.
There was a long pause.
"Kid… you need help," Naruto deadpanned.
"Let me show you how it's done."
Puff!
Naruto transformed into his signature Sexy Jutsu—perfectly formed, with clouds of smoke strategically placed and glitter effects.
Yor, standing nearby, froze—her eyes wide and cheeks slowly turning red.
SLAP!
She smacked both boys on the head. "No more perverted techniques!"
Naruto and Konohamaru sat cross-legged, rubbing their heads.
"Geez, what a killjoy," Naruto muttered.
Yor sighed but crouched down to their level. "Naruto. Konohamaru. You want to be Hokage, right?"
"Yeah!" they chorused.
"Then stop fooling around. There's no shortcut to becoming Hokage. It takes hard work, patience, and discipline. That's how you earn respect—not tricks or jokes."
Naruto looked thoughtful. Konohamaru pouted.
Then Naruto grinned. "You know what? You're right."
He stood and looked down at Konohamaru. "We're rivals now. But that means we gotta push each other to become stronger."
Konohamaru nodded seriously. "Then I'll beat you someday!"
"You can try," Naruto said with a grin. "Believe it!"
High above the village, watching through a crystal ball, the Third Hokage—Hiruzen Sarutobi—chuckled.
"Ah… youth," he said fondly. "And Naruto… I'm glad you found people who believe in you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the academy courtyard, Team RWBY sat on a ledge overlooking the training grounds. Naruto jogged up toward them with Konohamaru trailing behind.
"We're rivals now!" Konohamaru announced proudly.
"Oh? You got yourself a mini-Naruto," Yang teased.
"Rude!" Naruto shouted.
Ruby laughed. "Sounds like today's been productive."
"It has," Weiss muttered, still annoyed from earlier. "Except for one Uchiha-shaped headache."
Blake chuckled. "Weiss vs Sasuke. Round Two pending."
Weiss crossed her arms. "Please. He'd lose."
As the sun dipped lower in the sky, the nine graduates—Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Team RWBY—stood at the beginning of their new journey as genin. Tomorrow, they will meet their jonin instructors. Missions would begin. The world of shinobi awaited.
And somewhere in the dimensional plane, Sento smiled.
