Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Academy Days and Ramen

The morning sun bathed Konohagakure in a warm glow, casting long shadows over the bustling village. High above, the Hokage Rock stood as a testament to the village's legacy—though today, it bore an unexpected addition: vibrant graffiti defacing the solemn faces of the past Hokage.

Naruto Uzumaki, the village's notorious prankster, stood atop the monument, grinning at his handiwork. "Heh, that'll show 'em!" he chuckled, satisfied with his latest prank.

Unbeknownst to him, a group of four newcomers observed from a distance. Team RWBY—Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang—now integrated into the village thanks to the World Editor Token, watched the scene unfold.

"That's Naruto?" Weiss inquired, adjusting her grip on Myrtenaster.

"Yep," Blake confirmed, her eyes narrowing. "He's... energetic."

Yang laughed, "I like his spirit! Reminds me of someone we know."

Ruby smiled, "He's kind of adorable."

Suddenly, a voice echoed from below. "Naruto! Get down here this instant!"

Iruka Umino, Naruto's long-suffering Chunin instructor, stood at the base of the monument, arms crossed and foot tapping impatiently.

Naruto's eyes widened. "Uh-oh. Busted!"

Ninja Academy

An hour later after Naruto's silly prank.

The classroom buzzed with chatter as students settled into their seats. Team RWBY entered, drawing curious glances from their peers.

"Who are they?" whispered Ino to Sakura.

"No idea," Sakura replied, eyeing the newcomers. "They must be transfer students."

Naruto, now seated after his earlier escapade, perked up at the sight of the new girls. "Whoa! New faces!"

Iruka entered the room, calling the class to order. "Settle down, everyone. We have new students joining us today."

He gestured to Team RWBY. "Please introduce yourselves."

Ruby stepped forward, her voice cheerful. "Hi! I'm Ruby Rose. Nice to meet you all!"

Weiss followed, her tone more reserved. "Weiss Schnee."

Blake offered a simple nod. "Blake Belladonna."

Yang grinned, "Yang Xiao Long. Looking forward to sparring with you guys!"

The class murmured in response, intrigued by the quartet, looking forward to knowing more about the four girls.

Iruka continued, "Today, we'll be practicing the Transformation Jutsu. Each of you will demonstrate your ability to transform into someone else."

One by one, students approached the front, performing their transformations. Sasuke flawlessly transformed into Iruka, earning nods of approval. Sakura and Ino followed suit, each showcasing their proficiency.

Then it was Naruto's turn.

He stepped forward, forming the necessary hand signs. "Sexy Jutsu!"

A puff of smoke enveloped him, revealing a scantily clad female version of himself. Nosebleeds erupted across the room as Iruka fell backward, stunned.

"Naruto!" Iruka shouted, regaining his composure. "That's not appropriate!"

Naruto laughed, reverting to his original form. "Heh, couldn't resist!"

Team RWBY exchanged amused glances.

"He's certainly... creative," Weiss remarked.

"Bold move," Yang added, chuckling.

After School

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Naruto found himself scrubbing the Hokage Rock under Iruka's supervision.

"This is punishment for your earlier prank," Iruka explained.

Naruto sighed, "Yeah, yeah..."

Team RWBY approached, observing the scene.

"Need a hand?" Ruby offered.

Naruto looked up, surprised. "You'd help me?"

"Sure," Blake said, taking a cloth. "It's only fair."

Together, they worked to clean the monument, laughter and conversation filling the air.

Ichiraku Ramen Shop

Later that evening, the group gathered at Ichiraku Ramen, the village's beloved noodle shop.

"One miso ramen, please!" Naruto exclaimed, taking a seat.

Teuchi, the shop owner, smiled. "Coming right up!"

Team RWBY joined him, curious about the local cuisine.

"Iruka sensei, can I borrow your forehead protector?" Naruto asked.

"Oh this? No no, this is what you get after you graduate, a symbol that you officially become a Shinobi. Maybe you will get it tomorrow after the graduation exam" Iruka said, cheering Naruto up.

"This place smells amazing," Yang started a new conversation.

Everyone agreed as they started talking about food and Ramen.

As bowls of steaming ramen were placed before them, Naruto turned to his new friends.

"You know," he began, "I want to become Hokage someday. To be the greatest ninja and have everyone acknowledge me."

"Sensei will treat you to another Ramen bowl tomorrow then" Iruka promised Naruto.

Ruby smiled, "That's a wonderful dream."

Weiss nodded, "Ambitious, but admirable."

Blake added, "With determination like yours, it's possible."

Yang raised her ice water cup, "To future Hokage Naruto!"

They clinked their cup together, laughter echoing into the night.
