Chapter-68: Day of resultThere are many students was gathering in the groups in front of particular places. The result of the exam was out.
It was published in the white piece of papers in several places as serial wise. And that"s where students were gathering their heads.
Students were noisy and most of them showing a tense atmosphere. Some of them showing happy expression and some of them showing sad expression, they are the individuals who already saw their result.
From one of the groups, a scream was heard by students.
"Eh... Eeeeeeeeh!"
Naruto let out an unbelievable shriek. He was in front of the result board.
"How did this happened?"
Naruto"s face was twitching. Because he got a somewhat unexpected result.
In the result board, there are six rows, those are, Serial, Name, Status, Marks, Position, and Rank. Where Naruto"s states are-
D19420531-Naruto Uzumaki-Pa.s.sed-485-5-Gold Core
In another word, he has become number five position student among the freshmen. He knew that the top 7 students will become Golden Core students this year which was announced before the exam. By his rank, it is clear he got the position of Gold Core rank student.
"How troublesome, dattebayo! Jin told me not to be in the top ten or barely the tenth rank... because he want me to not to be in the Gold Core rank."
[Well, it doesn"t matter, I did expect that someone in your caliber will gold core even if you don"t want to.]
It was Jin who is using telepathy of Yamanaka clan.
[Sorry, Dude.]
Naruto replied.
[Oh well, now you are set up in this academy. I hope the invaders will make their move soon. Be careful of them. I don"t know the scale of their strength.]
Jin said.
[I understand, dattebayo.]
Without any wasteful line, Naruto replied him with a serious face. Even though it was forced on to Naruto, he is taking his job seriously. Just because he knows that Jin isn"t a bad guy and there is nothing Naruto can do.
Naruto got out from the noisy crowd somehow and started to find Ikuse Ryuuga.
"Hey, Naruto did you found your result."
Ikuse Ryuuga asked him.
"Yes, I did."
"Oh, what"s your rank?"
"It"s fifth."
"As expected I should say."
Ikuse wasn"t surprised at all hearing Naruto"s result because he saw in first hand what Naruto was capable of.
"So, what about you?"
Naruto asked him.
"It is fourth. I think writing test was my all minus point or I would be the first in rank."
Saying that Ikuse dropped his shoulder. Actually, that is true. Except for the writing test, He got full marks in every exam he took part in.
"Well, rank is just number. What is one capable of, it will be proven later with body and soul, you know?"
Naruto cheered him.
"I know right. I will prove that I am the worthy son of Eastern Dragon King. Hahahahaha...."
While slapping on Naruto"s shoulder Ikuse haha"d. [In facebook style (><>
"It"s hurt, dattebayo!"
Naruto complained with a cramped smile.
"So, who do you think can take the first place?"
Naruto asked Ikuse, as he knows the current affairs of the young generation.
"Hmm. If you ask me, I would choose, Spear G.o.ddess."
"Spear G.o.ddess?"
"Ah, she is the daughter of Spear G.o.d."
"Hmmm... I have never seen her."
The reason Naruto(Jin) don"t know her because Spear G.o.d like to stay out of the worldly matters. It is rumored that his origin is a country called Asmodeus but he does not stay in one place. It is also was a rumor until two years ago that he has a child.
"Well, even I also have seen her just once, and that is a day before yesterday."
Ikuse said.
"Whatever, it isn"t my concern who she is in the first place."
Naruto brushed his shoulder.
"Say, you are not that curious person, are you? You are not even that happy that you become a Gold Core student... Tell me the truth, who the heck you are?"
This is the first time Ikuse pressed Naruto for his real origin.
"Just an ordinary boy who drugged into the struggle of power."
Naruto replied him with a mysterious vibe as if he was enjoying it.
"In the struggle of power?"
But Ikuse took it seriously and asked more about it with a frown.
"Yes."
Naruto looked at the sky while creating a lonely face and continued,
"This world is not that simple as you think. You don"t know who is who. People wearing the skin of innocence while being a real devil."
Of course, there is no way Naruto could quote this on his own, he learned this philosophical word from Jin"s memory. But Ikuse"s face becoming more and more serious.
"Seems like your childhood wasn"t that pleasant."
This time Ikuse touch where it hurts for Naruto,
"Maybe."
Naruto said while taking two steps ahead from Ikuse,
"But you know, I was able to change my cursed childhood into a blessing."
Naruto looked back with a smile,
"Because now, I am not alone. I have so many friends. And I was finally acknowledged by my best friend."
Of course... By his best friend, he meant Sasuke.
"Wow, so who is that best friend?"
"He is not here. As long as I know he is on the Western Dragon Territory."
Ikuse frowned after hearing Western Dragon"s name.
"Western Dragon huh?"
"What"s the matter?"
Naruto asked him seeing his swing of mood.
"There is two part in this world. The first half is Western Dragon and the second half is the rest of the world. It is still a mystery about how their world works. Even if we want, we can"t apply the same thing as them. And that enormous evolution happened when the current King also is known as Divine Emperor enthroned."
Ikuse Ryuuga, as a dragon, he has both admire and jealousy toward Western Dragons. It is just the nature of dragon"s who don"t want to see someone is superior to them.
"Oh, I am getting off track. I like to meet your best friend by all mean. After all, I am also your new best buddy."
"That guy make himself my best buddy on his own." Naruto"s face was cramped. But told him with a smile.
"Of course, I will. But remember he is rude and moody."
But he didn"t forget to complain about Sasuke.
