RiaN Chapter 31 (Patreon)

There was less than a month of the ninja academy before the students graduated and formed teams. As graduates of the elite class, and because we spent so much time in those classes, we’d automatically be promoted to Chunin. The chunin exams no longer existed; instead, they were replaced with jonin exams, a similar system was put in place. However, not every chunin participated; only the best of each village would.

Because of that, the students were given the rights to either make their own squad, join an existing squad, or have a jonin sensei lead them. I was given the right to choose my squad size, and many backroom deals were made to put two jonin senseis on my team, as well as expand the size of my team, as all my teammates could become my wives.

Because of my special circumstances, I was warned of who my two senseis were, and I couldn’t help but be pleasantly surprised by who they were, because I knew both of them. I entered the classroom, and the class went silent as I did. It had been almost two years since I left, so some might have even forgotten about me.

Some didn’t, though. “What the fuck? How did you get so big?” Talia rushed over to me as she started touching my muscles. I knew I had grown; it wasn’t a surprise to me, but it was odd to see everyone from this angle compared to my previous height. Many of the other girls came rushing over, taking after Talia and touching my muscles as some got ahead of themselves and grabbed at my arm to try and get my attention.

I had never been popular before, but I was akin to a celebrity now. Not only was my new Yoki clan unique, but I was also one of the tallest, most handsome, and well-built in the entire village. I was the most eligible bachelor in the village. I had one wife(still plenty of room for most new clans). Attractive, up-and-coming clan, powerful, and with many backers(including my first wife). I had many things going for me.

Talia started taunting me right away. “So, those new muscles aren’t just for show, right? When we have our sparring practice today, I want to see what you’ve learned.” Coming back to finish school after almost two years away felt both nostalgic and different at the same time. The teachers were teaching different things, but it was all things I learned years ago by now, so I was getting nothing out of them.

Talia fought me, but she hadn’t learned anything spectacular in the two years I was away. I learned an entirely new fighting style, perfected using chakra to strengthen my body, even reinforcing my body with nature energy, so it wasn’t fair. I defeated her in a few moves, whereas before, she could defeat me with some regularity if she used her sexy body to distract me.

She looked ashamed, but I was just too much for her now; it had to feel embarrassing, though. She had gone from being so strong, still the strongest in taijutsu since I left, to being outright flattened by me now, and I was holding back. If I went sage mode, all of my punches would be almost impossible to block, and if they grappled with me, they would suffer petrification; even just touching me with a fist could cause some hardening until the nature energy slowly released from their body.

It went on like that for the rest of the day. I didn’t want to discourage my possible wives/squad members, but everything I was showing was things I didn’t plan on hiding. If I showed my strength right now, it would scare off weaker shinobi, but I’d keep trump cards and hide my full strength for the stronger shinobi. Healing practice was unfair; I was an Uzumaki with all my Uzumaki traits unlocked, which meant I had healing blood that also helped restore chakra.

I was the foremost fuinjutsu master years ago, that hadn’t diminished but only increased over the years I spent at Mount Myoboku. My sensory abilities were also broken. I had unnaturally strong senses because of my kekkei mora, but the mind's eye of the kagura as well, on top of all that, I could still sense emotions from the special tailed beast in me.

My main subject, the one I went to class for because I couldn’t learn it outside of school, was for support-type ninjutsu and techniques. With the large chakra pool, I could cast many extremely potent ninjutsu, and because of my frog clan heritage, I could also use oil-based attacks, which would pair incredibly well with anyone who could launch fire-based ninjutsu.

I was good at just about everything, the best in fact, except for kunai throwing, which I was only as skilled at because hand-eye coordination also improved my accuracy as a side effect. The only time I ‘practiced’ kunai throwing was during the kunai throwing tests. Suki Uchiha smirked at the other girls who did worse in their own areas of expertise, but it was more the fact that I didn’t care for it; no, I thought it was even worse, it was a complete waste of time to learn kunai throwing.

That Uchiha arrogance would be put to the test in the bedroom when I made my team finally official. The rest of the month went by quickly; most of the classes only had the final left, and I aced all of them. The final two weeks were just people trying again if they failed, but everyone who had already passed it was just a break. People openly talked as they made plans, and my group was finally cemented as I was given permission to have six female kunoichi, plus the two female sensei, bringing our squad size all the way up to eight.

Tama Yoki- All-rounder

Talia Ryuchi- (raccoon/snake pseudojinchuriki) Taijutsu specialist

Hinata Hyuga- (different from the anime) Healer

Kite Might- (wants to be different from her family) Ranged

Karen Uzumaki- (same as anime) Formations

Suki Uchiha- (off-branch brown hair) Sensory

Shiho- (Civilian ninja, wants a big family) Support

Kurenai Yuhi- (same as anime)

Anko Mitarashi- (same as anime)

My two senseis both excited me. Now, why were they both still unmarried? I wasn’t sure, but I was happy nonetheless. I did some digging and found out that most of the Sarutobi clan, including Asuma(which sucked, because I thought he was cool), were wiped out… That went for all the elder clans; Shimura, Mitokado, and Utatane were heavily diminished, if not outright gone. 

I wasn’t sure if I was going to marry all of my squad yet, but all of them agreed on just the off-chance that I did marry them. I was going to go with the flow and let things play out naturally, but if I did, all of them would be having sex with me before we graduated in two weeks. There was one that stood out to me, someone I wanted to lock down before fate got involved and tried to put things back on track…

I needed to lock down Hinata before fate got involved and tried to make Boruto.
