Third Person POV

Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.

...

...

The afternoon was nearing its end when a large crowd of parents invaded the academy once again. There were at least 10 boards with the approval of 30% of the children who took the test to enter the shinobi life.

Among these 10 boards, there was one specific board that was the main focus, but it was largely ignored by civilians since it was for the top 30 children. This board was visited only by clan members and some ninjas who wanted to find out how their children performed.

"Mom! Look, I'm in the main class!" A blonde girl shouted to her mother with crossed arms.

"I see, congratulations, Tsuna."

Mother and daughter looked at the board of those approved in the academy along with a crowd as soon as the results were released. Tsunade's daughter was quite anxious and wanted to see the results quickly.

In the main board, where there was the class of prodigies, many names of children from clans appeared. The mother-daughter duo easily recognized most of them, thanks to their last names. It was no surprise that all kinds of clans appeared in this class, especially some listed as heirs.

"Tsunade, you're here too!" Tsunade heard a familiar voice and turned to its source.

"Jiraiya? What are you doing here?" Tsunade looked at her teammate with narrowed eyes, wondering why a character like Jiraiya would appear on the academy's result board, although she already had an idea of why.

"I'm checking a name." He said, waving and greeting both Tsunade and little Tsuna.

"Are you still looking for the perfect student? As you always say?" She asked.

"That's right, I heard about someone mysterious in the prodigy class this year..." He said excitedly.

"Someone mysterious? Who could that be?" She asked curiously.

"Let me see here... M... Here! Minato Namizake! Found the kid." Said a young Jiraiya with the hope of fulfilling a certain prophecy. He always looked at the new buds of the village after receiving the prophecy from the old toad, so he had some contacts within the academy to know when someone extraordinary would appear.

"Minato Namizake, never heard of..." This time, it was little Tsuna who said.

"It's no surprise, little Tsuna. This boy came out of nowhere. He's from an orphanage, but his chakra is incredibly dense, and he has 3 elemental affinities!" Jiraiya said with some excitement, maybe he finally found the disciple of his prophecy.

"That is truly remarkable..." Admitted Tsunade.

"Well, anyway, it was great to see you again, Tsunade. See you later, I'll just keep an eye on the boy in the coming years and pick him up for myself when he graduates." Jiraiya started to leave after that.

"No matter who that boy is, I will be in first place!" Said a determined Tsuna.

"I'm sure you will, Tsuna." Said Tsunade. What these mother-daughter did not know is that they had already met as a boy on this same day and exchanged some words, but they had no idea that the name of that little rascal is the same as the one who performed excellently, even catching Jiraiya's interest.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the village, a limping boy walked toward the center of the village from the training area to return to the orphanage.

"Hey, look at that boy!"

"For the deceased Hokages, did someone attack this child?"

"Who does something like this? Where are the Uchiha police?!"

In front of them, Minato walked through the village looking very disheveled and injured.

"Damn, this got way out of hand! I must have dislocated some bones and lost a baby tooth..." Minato was frustrated. His first training with Observation Haki was a disaster; he couldn't do anything but bump his head into every obstacle or stumble over low objects.

His clothes were in tatters, his face battered, especially the forehead with some dried blood, his arm seemed to hang on his shoulder, the boy literally looked like he had gone through a violent beating.

Minato wouldn't be late for curfew like yesterday, but Madame Gorete would certainly scold him for his current state.

The boy limped, ignoring all the stares he was getting, and continued walking to the orphanage without caring if someone asked what happened to him.

"Tell me, who did this to you?!" Madame shouted at him as soon as he arrived and saw his current condition.

"I'm fine, it was just training," he said.

"Training? You call this training, or you don't want to tell me who beat you up?" She said sternly.

"It was training. I tried running through the forest blindfolded; this was the result," he said simply.

"Why did you train like that... Anyway, sometimes I don't understand you, kid! Anyway, I must congratulate you. I went to the academy again and saw that you entered the main class this year. Keep working hard, kid. Now clean up, and let's put some ointment on those wounds." She said with a tone between pride and severity.

"That's great! Hahaha, thank you!" Minato smiled with some missing teeth and entered the orphanage.

"Anyway, make a bright future," she said.

"You got it!" Minato said and went to his room to get clothes for a shower and change out of the worn-out clothes.

The children questioned him all night, but Minato simply replied that he didn't know most of the things they asked about his performance on today's test.

And he really didn't know; the only things that had an influence were the supposed Devil Fruit and his body, but chakra and affinity were natural from the original.

The next day, he woke up excited. Finally, he would go to the academy with three other children who passed the test; some didn't make it, remaining stuck in civilian life. But it wasn't like their lives ceased to exist there; they would have some classes in the coming years without becoming a shinobi.

After breakfast, Minato left with them and their papers to be presented to the academy.

When they arrived, they separated as instructed to their respective classes. Minato went to Class A, the main class of that year.

"Who are you?" A Chunin was in front of the door, taking the papers and preventing any child from entering the wrong room.

"Minato Namikaze, here, these papers indicate this room." The blonde handed the paper to the adult.

"Let me see... Hmmm... You're correct. Well, you can enter. Welcome to Class A. Go in and find a seat; I'll introduce myself as your teacher once everyone is inside." He said, and Minato nodded.

He then entered for the first time. The place was almost full, but he could already see many people he knew from the future of the work here.
