The academy was big enough, many rooms all about, a good outdoor area to play within; or in his case swing upon the raggedy wooden rope seat no one else found a reason to go too. The classrooms are dull, typically either everyone else had made themselves to scream out at each other in challenges when the teacher doesn't stand at the front of the room, or they were all silent when he was- playing at being on their nice behaviour. Naruto doesn't understand the concept, though he had taken to the knowledge as many parents would ask their children if they had been 'good for their teacher,' or if they'd been bad. Naruto knew that there was a difference at least, and for that he was proud enough to be content with however he acted; whether that be good or bad. Right now, he'd managed to balance a pen in between his lip and his nose, it was a trick that he had watched Kiba- another kid his age, do a while ago and all the other kids had found it extremely impressive- he was hoping for a similar reaction; because in his mind maybe if he managed a small trick or had a little ability then another kid would come to talk to him and perhaps then he could have a friend too: No one was looking at him or the pen between his lips however, everyone else had begun to argue about if the colours pink or blue were better.

His cheeks puffed out in disappointment, a small pout he didn't particularly want anyone else to see. Even though he had expected the same usual treatment as he always got; ignored. He had been hoping for a different response just once.

The pen fell off his lip. It dropped onto the desk and made a hardly noticeable clanking sound against the wood as it fell, it was a marginal thing, but Naruto just found himself watching the tool roll off the desk to drop upon the floor, rather then attempting to save it so he could use it for later, he knew he did not really need one anyway; he couldn't write.

Beside him sat Sakura-chan, she was pretty and she knew how to write and read, she was very smart too- she knew it and boasted about it when she could. That was probably why he always found it funny when the kids from the desk uptop from theirs spat spitballs into her cute hair- apparently she really loved her hair; and would yell at them loudly whenever they did so. To be candid with himself, Naruto really liked his hair too; but when he had yelled at them for doing the exact same thing, unlike Sakura he had gotten in a lot of trouble with the teacher being mean to other students and had been forced into the time out corner for the rest of that day. So now, whenever they spat balls into his hair he had to stay silent and let them; otherwise he'd be in more trouble- or so he'd been told. Naruto did not truly understand why he got in trouble so often -or what could be worse then standing in the time out corner for the entire day.- For he thought he acted like all the other kids; he yelled all the time too, he laughed along with the others even when they were being mean directly to him, he fell down on purpose sometimes and let everyone laugh at him; yet, it only seemed to make all the adults more mad at him, and he didn't even know why.

The teacher came in when the pen dropped to the ground, and unlike everyone else who became very silent and prepared to make notes, Naruto remained still with his cheek in his hand and his elbow on the desk. Though no one gave him a glance for the behaviour, as their teacher gave a wide smile from the front of the room and continued to ignore him. "Now everyone, an important lesson today." The view of his back then came, and the temptation to throw an object at their undefensive teacher was a difficult one to squish down, so Naruto bit on his lip instead and played with a strand of his own shiny hair. Not paying attention to the board, but Naruto could hear the clicking sounds of the chalk as he wrote in big, bulky words for them to all read and possibly take note of. Already, the young Uzumaki twisted uncomfortably in his chair; he couldn't read or write properly yet, so he could only watch as everyone else took notes while he sat there and waited for an explanation; he was being taught by the same old man who had given him his small apartment to live in, but the entire process was so slow- and Naruto often found himself easily bored. "Today, we will be learning more about your secondary-sexes." The teacher stated, while everyone else in the room gave a little giggling sound or a groan in frustration. Naruto blinked; the Old Man had told him that there were three types of people out there, but only continued on by saying that he would learn about them all eventually.

He blinked up at the chalkboard waiting for a miracle to occur and for his eyes to magically understand what was written there; they didn't, so he slumped a little in his chair at realizing he would actually have to pay attention. "Now, your parents should have told you the basics." Naruto almost let his hand spring up in protest, because that was not true- but he clenched at his shorts instead gripping hard into the fabric and glaring at the wood of the desk. Though, he noticed that beside him, Sasuke- his other deskmate twitched at the mention as well and he too looked very uncomfortable, his lips had thinned and he was glaring at the window as if waiting to be swept away from class. "To begin: As you should all know, there are three main types, an Alpha, a Beta, and an Omega, now who can tell me a primary difference between these three?" As to be expected; beside him, Sakura's hand shot up straight and quick as an arrow, cream pale in pure contrast to her neat pink hair. Naruto slumped a little further away from her, not understanding why their teacher for the day was asking about something everyone's parents should have already taught them, a stab of bitter envy jabbed uncomfortably at his eyes and he managed to push the want to cry away- again. "Sakura-chan?" Naruto looked about the room, no one else had their hands up.

"Beta do not have the ability to mate sensei, while an Alpha can bite into the neck and stimulate special um... hormones? To claim an Omega mate, an Omega also goes into heats, while the other two do not." Her brows furrowed for a second as she stumbled over one word, though she quickly recovered and made a hesitant -teacher pleasing- smile afterwards. Naruto hid the pout that was invoked from him as it appeared to work its natural charm, even as she spoke without being spoken to in question. "But sensei- my parents said I'm too young to learn about this kind of thing yet." It was not his answer, though the large sigh from the front could clearly be heard from everyone- even the back; Naruto could tell, as he could hear the whispers about it being spread throughout the room like a fire surrounding him, a metaphor he was uncomfortably familiar with, because of his own experience.

"I imagine they did. But, you all must keep in mind that all of you have chosen to become shinobi, and because of that you will need to learn about sex and all that which is involved in order to better protect yourself when necessary within the harsh world that is being a ninja. On top of that, each of you will be obligated to take the mandatory secondary test today and all this information is very important to understand, if you decide to remain a shinobi." Naruto flinched, he was not ready for another test to take place- he had only barely passed the previous one, and that was only because Shikamaru had been kind enough to read out the questions and answers to him before they started -he hadn't told him the answers though, and Naruto thought that was rather mean of him as he obviously knew all of them.- "Worry not, this isn't a written test, it will be a physical test to determine what your secondary-sex is." Brows furrowed, the blond found himself glaring towards the front of the room in confusion; not understanding the correlation between being an A, B, or O, and being a ninja. Their present teacher did not appear to pay any heed unto his behaviour, as he merely brightened away from the slouched over posture he had held and smiled marily.

"Now, to properly begin! You are indeed correct Sakura-chan, but I am afraid there are a few more important points you have missed. Now, as I'm sure everyone knows, there are female and male Alpha, female and male Beta, and female and male Omega-" he wrote upon the board again, and Naruto rolled his eyes as he forced his ears to pay attention. "Female Betas can become pregnant, along with female and male Omegas, however, male Betas cannot- and of course no Alpha can become pregnant." He giggled to himself for a moment then as if it were a type of privatized joke; but so did the rest of the class, apart from Naruto, and once again he felt disjointed from everyone his age and indeed everyone over, just from not knowing a common fact. His head tilted down to his knees as he so obviously didn't laugh or giggle with the rest of his classmates and teacher, shame creeping slowly upon him; it was marginally comforting that beside him, Sasuke wasn't laughing or chuckling either, he had simply rolled his eyes in a form of exasperation and continued writing in his booklet as if the entire joke was an irritation onto him. "It is for that reason that Omega are discouraged from becoming fully active shinobi, not that they cannot do so; it is however, a risk onto them to do so, and indeed their body structures. Which brings me swiftly onto Omega heats." The words 'gross' filtered throughout Naruto's head at the concept, he did not want to think about the yucky things adults did to each other.

"Some of you may have begun to have them, some of you may have not- both are entirely natural at your age." All Naruto wished to do at that moment, was to leave the classroom at any plausible time, astray from the information he had no want to hear. Further then being uncomfortable, it was shameful- for Naruto knew the was someone who had little knowledge of anything already in comparison to anyone else, therein, he had no one he could ask questions unto- the teacher would ignore him, he had no parents nor guardian, and though the Hokage cared within his own measure; he was a busy man. "However, heats are to be treated with caution, especially as a shinobi- you do not want to be taken advantage of within such a moment of weakness, and make no mistake or presumption; a heat is a very vulnerable time. Within such a state, an Omega's primary goal is to be mated and bound to an Alpha whom they believe can protect them and their children from any potential threat: Many enemy shinobi, Alpha or even Beta will use this to their advantage if you expose yourself to be an Omega. They could use you merely for your heat, or an Alpha may try to bind you to them as a mate merely to be used against the village. I do not think I need to emphasize just how dangerous such a situation is." Everyone shifted at their desks with the bluntly stated facts, though no one made themselves question the information; as it was presumed to be entirely correct, no matter how cruel it sounded.

"Omegas are the only ones of the three who can be mated- or bound, as it is most commonly referred to these days. This can technically be done at any time, though it is considered permanent only if it is done during a heat. Now, in order to bind, an Alpha- and I mean only an Alpha, can bite into the scent gland at the junction of an Omega's neck which induces particular pheromones to be produced along with their unique saliva, thus releasing a slight amount of their scent into the Omega in question.That is why it is suggested that an Omega shinobi either gets scented by an Alpha they trust before going onto the field- this will unconsciously warn other Alpha's not to intrude upon another's territory, of course this does not always work, but it is a good safety precaution against being taken advantage of." Naruto ignored the chalkboard as it served for nothing, yet the information as it was spoken sunk into his mind as if it were the most important thing he had ever learnt, and in turn he gripped tight onto an itching place between his shoulder and neck as if in response. He could not truly understand the wording, nor the explanation, but the basics he grasped; if he was an Omega, don't let anyone bite your neck or catch you in heat unless you wanted to be in a really bad situation. It made him nervous, shifting in his seat a little to know that he'd have to trust another person to scent him before going on a mission was daunting; he did not trust other people within his village besides the Hokage, and maybe the old man at the ramen stand.

"Continuing on- everyone will be tested for their gender. Now, this is to be kept strictly secret between the supervising teacher, the Hokage and when warranted- or if, your supervising Jonin. You will each be taken into a separate room and tested privately." Then, the man -who had yet to speak his name- shuffled about some pages on the desk. Meanwhile, surrounding, the gossiping began in steady pacing- whispering, gasping, and giggles all around the classroom, little bets were even being tossed about here and there as to who was what. As a game; to his own surprise, only himself and Sasuke remained firmly away from the scandalous whispers- himself for the simple fact that he was not liked, while Sasuke appeared to be completely disinterested in the flowing conversations. Naruto was too, though he really did not wish to have any similarity to the classroom smartass/genius, besides maybe his popularity; but he knew that wasn't going to happen so he let it lay for the most part. "Beginning alphabetically-" Naruto groaned and slammed his head forward into his desk, normally he would have already left the academy and gone to paint a wall for fun or something similar, but he did acknowledge that this test was actually important so he had to force his legs to stay where they were, even if his mind remained bored to tears with the monotonous waiting.

Primarily to begin was Chouji of the Akamaji clan, his own one of prominence and well known throughout the village for civility. He was munching on a bag of chips when called, and he followed with his snack out of the room. Naruto did ponder on what he could be; he was usually very nice minded, never truly said anything mean spirited even if prompted, then again, Naruto reasoned; neither did Shikamaru, but that was apparently because it was too much a hassle to do so. No one returned to the room, and soon enough it was only him and the sombre Uchiha beside him remaining in wait. Of course, as Naruto was adapted to, Sasuke went first by his name order and did not return just like the others.

Naruto found himself beckoned shortly afterwards with a scowl and the same cast down judgemental eyes he was used to seeing from everyone around him. He was then grabbed firmly by the arm, shoved brutally towards the concrete wall, then shoved from a hand between his shoulder blades into an open doorway, and stumbled into a chilled room with grimy floors and dirt coated walls. He could hear the click of a lock behind him as his presumed escort closed the door properly, and his own little glare manifested as he stared at it in anger; he hated locked doors when he was the one trapped inside. If it was his own apartment he had an encompassing presence of safety, not entirely, but it lingered within the atmosphere enough for him to feel comfortable, but if someone else held the key and the control he was immediately made nervous by the fact.

It was then that he choose to look up, finding the dark brown eyes of a woman with stern set features; she evaluated him, though he could not tell why, he only stood in wait while her gaze roamed over him as if some predatory cat. She stood then, gliding across the floor with an obvious intimidation then pressed her fingers fiercely into the same juncture between his neck and shoulder which had been pained previous. Though her own fingers were far less light in handling then his own, it burned to be touched with such a force. "Male, Omega." He flinched, it was the one he hadn't wanted; though he knew it was inevitable, things did not shift in his favour after all. He allowed his smile to curve up slightly for his own sake this time, rather then for anyone else. "Will you be continuing as a shinobi?" She asked, bland and uninterested- obviously expecting a negative, and unable to ebate himself from the true force of his own determination he answered with a gallant:

"Yup!" He took satisfaction in the simple fact that she stared at him with widened eyes.
