Chapter Text
Dream shut the scroll, blinking in shock after what he had just read, having snuck into the higher parts of the library, where he was not allowed because he was still an Academy student.
Dream tucked his knees under his chin breathing heavily, having just read the snap of the Uzumaki-Yamanaka duo.
'Boruto-sama, son to Uzumaki Naruko the Nanadaime Hokage, and her lover Yamanaka Inoto, both widely revered and feared for their strength and intelligence in the Fourth Shinobi war, had perished in a battle on the attempt of ending the Shinobi Era, Boruto-sama sacrificed his life, the lose hitting both legendary Shinobi and Kunoichi hard, they snapped, nearly decimating the whole village before being stopped by Sasuke, Sarada, Mitsuki and Sakura. Both of the blondes had died that same night, the terror the two brought bad karma unto the Yamanaka and Uzumaki legacy.
Dream clenched his fist, his long, soft and golden pale locks that mixed with a sharp red was the reason he was told to be wary of, from Parents to their Children.
Dream had read more about the more famous, Dai-nana-han Teams, he subconciously drew parallels from himself to Sakura-sama, the way they had fanboyed, or fangirled in Sakura-sama's case, over an emotionally stunted idiot and let that drown their talent.
Dream was glad he read this now, rather than fall harder, Dream wouldn't be the next Sakura, destined to follow and stumble after her Team mates.
Steeling his resolve he made his way to where he knew the Uzumaki and Yamanaka clan scrolls were kept, only himself able to open the seals with his blood and chakra.
He looked through the scrolls quietly, eyes scanning the Uzumaki one that seemed to call for him, before settling down on 3 things.
Adamantine Sealing and Attack Chains, Iryo-jutsu and Fuinjutsu.
'Uzumaki Kushina and Karin were the only Uzumaki's able to pull off the chains, though it is unknown if Uzumaki Naruko had been able to, both Kushina and Karin using them with their worst skill, Kushina in defence and Karin with offence, so it is the belief of many theorists that since Naruko was the worst at Genjutsu out of all skills, had the Nanadaime Hokage used a Genjutsu to conceal the chain abilities in fear of being hunted down?'
Dream knew everyone had just unlocked chakra's last year, so he used what he knew and settled down, reaching gently for the Uzumaki pool, the dense Chakra being pulled like a taut rope.
"Then again... Karin had used it in a time of peril and emergency, so that is most likely how I will unlock it. Right now my weakest is in offensive Ninjutsu, though we haven't practiced that much yet."
The Academy students graduation was changed after Naruko came into role of Hokage, making it so before they were Genin, atleast had to have one D-rank elemental Ninjutsu under their belt.
They would be testing their affinities to learn and master the Ninjutsu they had by the end of their time in schooling.
Next Iryo-jutsu seemed the most likely for Dream to learn with his Yamanaka chakra, the fluidity and Yin properties adding to his advantage.
Dream looked out the window of the library as he saw those in the Academy play around and practice in the training ground.
Dream pushed down the stupid rising blush that came to his face when he looked at George and Techno sparring, cheered on by Sapnap- the Jinchuuriki of their village-, Tommy, Tubbo, Wilbur, Minx, Niki and Schlatt.
Dream knew he wasn't nearly as good as the others, himself sabotaged for his heritage, though they reallu underestimated how rescourceful orphans like himself were.
Grabbing the Katas for both flexible styles of Yamanaka and Uzumaki, he stuffed them in his bag, a old gift passed down from Naruko-sama the Eleventh Hokage Notch had gifted him, sealed with Storage and Space Fuinjutsu.
He made his way outside admiring the skill and strength the two Academy students had shown, in a testiment to Dream's studies, Chakra control, and the new Academy learning pace he climbed up the tree hopping from one to another before stopping above everyone.
He looked down at the Jinchuuriki who cheered on the Color Blind Hyuuga, landing soundlessly beside him, the others jumping in surprise.
He inwardly grimaced as they grew tense, George scrunching his nose in disgust at his Fanboy and Techno uncaring.
Dream breathed in and out, walking forwards, he had changed his usual clothing out, for those he found when sifting through the remains of his families items, vaguely recalling how this was Kushinas Genin outfit.
The pale yellow and grey body suit with grey thigh highs (which they were, they went to his thighs, it wasn't a fashion choice he just had to wear them.) and open toed shoes suited his pale golden and red locks, his dark emerald with an unseen seriousness.
"Dream." Came the unimpressed reply, the pale Hyuugan eyes unwilling to deal with Fanboying or quests for love.
Dream bowed "I have done some... research and realized how idiotic my crush and idealization of you was," Dream looked ashamed to the side after unbowing, his resolve still firm, the others behind and in front shocked, "It would be detrimental to my future as a Ninja and I've decided to focus on my career and catching up to you all."
Dream shut his eyes breathing in and out, before meeting Georges eyes in a challenging stare.
"I have a proposal; two weeks before graduation I want to fight against you. To test if I really do get stronger." Dream then walked off, the starstruck and shocked group staring after the blonde and red headed academy student.
"I told you Dream was awesome! He just needed to let go of that stupid crush on you!" Sapnap said excitedly, George was shocked into silence, the others talking excitedly at the challenge.
"I wonder..." Techno looked at where the Uzumaki-Yamanaka had disappeared to.
He shook his head turning back to spar once more.
