Yoshino~

Setsuna's POV

Why did I have to do this again ? Oh , right , because I wanted to get rid of the ANBUs as soon as possible .

I was starting to wonder if it was worth the trouble of facing a class full of brats with a teacher who couldn't even control his own students . Right now , I was standing in front of the class , waiting for these brats to calm down .

Mom wanted me to look older so that I wouldn't be bullied on my first day of school , but I refused to wear what she had picked out for me . In the end , thanks to papa's awesome convincing skill , mama decided to only change my hairstyle .

She braided my bangs and pinned them to the back , despite my protest that it's hot and this kind of hairstyle would only make it worse . I really didn't know how this would make me seem mature . Besides , the class had seen me when I was wearing pigtails , they already knew that I was immature .

"Class! Shut up ! We have a new student joining us today !" The class quieted down and finally noticed me standing in front .

"Konichiwa ! Tsuna's name is Akimichi Setsuna , nice to meet you ."

"Can you tell us more about yourself ?" Sensei asked .

I shook my head , wanting to play with him for a while .

"Tsuna wants to sit !"

He was about to disagree but quickly changed his mind once he saw me with my puppy dog eyes. He told me to sit beside a very shy Hyuga girl .

I was about to sit but the raging questions that came from the brats stopped me .

"Sensei ! Why is she here ? You said it yourself that she's too young to be in the academy !"

"W-well . .that's . ."

I mentally face palmed as he kept stuttering , trying to figure out how to answer them without telling them that it's the Hokage's order . If he did tell them , I was sure that I would be hated by these brats .

Suddenly a ninja cane into the room , telling sensei that Naru-chi had destroyed a woman's herb garden . Sensei left the room after he had told me to sit down and ordered the class to be quiet . Obviously , the class didn't comply and did what they wanted . Me , being me with left the class and went for my adventure . It had been decided that the ANBUs would left me while I was at school and home . As a result , I was able to explore the area outside the village all alone , without anyone interrupting me .

One month quickly went by . Today , Hokage-sama called me to his office . Sensei said that he wished to speak to me .

It may have to do with the fact that I spent my time pranking the teachers together with Naru-chi . Well , I certainly couldn't help it . It was , after all , the only way I could vent my anger of being watched constantly .

Ah , wait a minute , it may also be about me pranking some of the villagers who acted cruel to Naru-chi . But even though both of us did the prank , it was always Naru-chi who got scolded . So in the end , I decided to do it myself without getting Naru-chi involved .

Right now , I was being carried like a sack of potatoes to the Hokage's office . Sensei claimed that he didn't trust me not to run away after I had escaped twice from him .

I was still covered in paint because of Naru-chi who dropped something on my head when sensei saw him standing on top of the First Hokage's head . That something was a bucket of paint and because of Naruto , it covered me from head to toe , shocking me temporarily which resulted in me getting caught by sensei . Naru-chi had disappeared by the time sensei caught me so sensei decided to deal with him later .

I was thinking of torturing Naru-chi by not giving him ramen for a month . Mommy could help me with that . I was snapped out of my thoughts when sensei knocked on the Hokage's door .

"Come in ." The Hokage's raspy voice rang out .

Sensei entered the room and I waved my hand to Hokage-sama . I heard him chuckle when he saw me .

"I see you had a fun day Setsuna ."

"It's not fun ! This is disgusting Hokage-chama !" I wailed ,wiping the paint away from my face .

"What do you think about the academy so far ?" He asked , gesturing sensei to put me down on a chair in front of him . After sensei put me down , he left the room .

"Tsuna doesn't like it ." I scoffed as I crossed my arms together . His chuckle filled the room once again as he watched me trying to get rid of the paint .

"Why?"

"Too many boring stuff ! Tsuna wannna explore and learn , not sit and do nothing ! Tsuna want out , no more academy !" I said as I made a cross shape with my arms .

"But I thought you feel lonely without your brother ." he wasn't feeling confused , he was teasing me . I could tell that much from his tone .

"Tsuna did but freedom is number one ! And not just that , since Tsuna entered the academy , whenever Tsuna went outside there are strange people watching Tsuna ! Tsuna doesn't like it ! Exploring is Tsuna's Me time !" I huffed , trying to get him to see from my point of view .

"Me time ? Oh , you mean your alone time ?" He asked , laughing softly .

"Mhm , it's Tsuna alone time without anybody watching Tsuna ."

"You don't have to be afraid . Those people will protect you from bad guys . That is your parents' wish , you entering the academy has nothing to do with it ."

"Tsuna still doesn't like the academy and papa said that Tsuna is too young to enter the academy . That means Tsuna can still quit and wait until Tsuna is older to enter again . Tsuna remember it clearly ! Yay ! Tsuna is a smart girl !"

"No ,no , you can't do that - I mean you can but think about it Tsuna. If you study now , you can graduate at the same time as your brother . Then you can do mission together , or would you rather still stay in school and watch your brother do his missions ?"

Even if I do graduate , it means I will get one more jounin to supervise me . Hurray , I'll be guarded 24/7 no more free time ! Note the sarcasm .

". . . Noooo , Tsuna doesn't want that !" Although I detested the idea of graduating earlier , if I did quit the academy , the ANBUs would be assigned to protect me 24/7 .

It's not like I really need to study either . I'll just use my study time to train and do some research .

"Okay , but I didn't call you here to talk about the academy ."

"Huh ? Then what does Hokage-chama want to do ?" I titled my head in confusion .

"I received a lot of complaints about you and Naruto pranking the villagers so sit down and listen carefully young girl ."

I mentally groaned as he started his speech which I knew would take a while . Naru-chi you're so gonna get it. No more ramen for a year ! Face my wrath Naruto !

Milady , I have some good news . I heard Yuu's voice rang out.

What is it ?

I found your real father , to relieve you of your nightmares , I can assure you that he is not Kyogoku-san . Your father is still the same person that you know .

Oh , thank Kami , if Kyogoku is my father I would have murdered him the moment I saw him regardless of who he is . I really need to thank Zakuro-sama and Raiton-sama for not changing who my real dad is .

Your father also did something small to make sure that Tetsuyuki-sama didn't recognise you . Your hair and your age , which is actually 3 years older , were changed .

Stop calling the old man Tetsuyuki , it's annoying .

He ignored my comment and continued on speaking , something told me that he also rolled his eyes but fortunately for him I couldn't see it .

I did think that I could change you back but I found out that only your father is capable of reversing the jutsu.

So I'm actually 8 years old *sigh* I guess we now know why my hair isn't the same color as before . Anything else?

Well yes . Your plan did work well , it had caused Tetsuyuki-sama to doubt himself . In the end , he decided to monitor you for a couple years before making the next move . After all giving threats to any village is against the rules . He needed to have a solid prove or else he would be punished . He was already punished for attacking you that day so the council is also keeping an eye on him.

. . . I want you to continue , get Kashiro or Ein to help you . Find any information you can about the plan , see if they change anything . We can't just rely on the information that I held . Also , get Rui to guard my real mother 24/7 .

Why, is there something wrong ?

Judging from what you've told me , it's no longer safe to keep my mom near that old hag .

What did that woman do ?

It's not the old hag , it's my mom . She's pregnant again . I can feel it through our bond .

Wouldn't your grandfather know it if you do ?

No , long ago before I came here , Zakuro-sama taught me how to close one's family bond  . I closed mother's the moment you told me she went to meet my father .

But wouldn't he feel weird ?

No , a corrupted dragon will slowly but surely lose their connection and place as a family member and as one of the Ryuugazaki's member . Old man knew that right from the start .

Well , you seem to be getting smarter and smarter each time I report . Learn something in the academy ?

In fact I do , but I'll tell you later . Tell Rui to put the special genjutsu on mother , I need it to cover the baby bump that will definitely grow bigger in time .

I understand , I'll give you a new report as soon as I can .

I inwardly nodded . It's strange that the old man stopped this quick . He couldn't have been scared ....maybe he got his hands on some information , but if that was true then who -

"Setsuna ! Are you listening to me ?!"

"Uh , y-yes !" I stuttered out quickly , straightening my seating position slowly peeking up only to see his  piercing look . He eyed me for a few more minutes before he sighed and leaned back in his chair .

"You obviously aren't listening or you would have replied the first time I tried to get your attention ."

And that's how I got punished by kneeling and holding a bucket of water in his office for hours . Note to self , pay attention to Hokage next time .

The next day ~

I sighed , I couldn't walk so papa had to carry me to the academy .

"Paapaa , you need to turn around and walked straight and then you turned left and then right and then you put Tsuna back in my bed and then Tsuna will sleep ."

He chuckled but didn't turn around like I wanted . "I can't do that Tsuna , your mother will have my head if I do , you know that ."

"But Tsuna is injured ! See , Tsuna can't walk ! Iruka-sensei said that if we are injured we can stay at home . Tsuna have the right to stay !"

"Well your mother has forbid you from entering the house , how can you stay in your bed ? Besides that , it's your fault this time . Papa can't help you ."

I pouted in response but papa's right . Mommy was angry when she found out about my mischievous behaviour and forced me to the academy as my punishment . In addition to that , yesterday Iruka-sensei showed up and told her I hadn't done any of my homework for this week .

Why ? Iruka-sensei why ? Why must you show up at such a bad time ?

When we arrived at the academy , papa put me down and the moment he left , the boys started teasing me . Well , I wasn't surprised . Ever since I gained the weight an Akimichi was supposed to have , they had been teasing me nonstop .

"Oi fatty what's wrong with you ?"

"She can't hold her own weight so that's why she can't walk!"

"Hah ! What a loser ! -"

And bla bla bla . I guessed I tuned them out for too long because the next thing I knew , Iruka-sensei whacked my head and told me to share my thoughts .

I smiled because I got just the right thing to say . " Well sensei , the boys loved to bully me so I thought that their mommy must be so . . how do you say it . .ah! disappointed . Because out of all the sperms that were released , they're the sperms that won and made it inside ."

Sensei turned bright red , his eyes widened and he started gaping . The other kids didn't understand of course , and it pleased me to no end knowing that finally I could silence these brats .

"W-w..where did you learn that ? Who teach you that?! You're far too young to know about that kind of stuffs !" He spluttered out rapidly , with a very visible red hint on his cheeks .

Bad move sensei , I thought and snickered mentally when I saw him being bombarded with questions by the brats . Being in the academy was bad buuuttt , at least I get to torture my teacher in more ways than one . I just hoped he's ready for the fun that was about to come .
