Naruto:AFK SYSTEM (COPY ABILITY )

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: First Day at the Academy – A New Path Begins



1. Entering the Academy

The sun cast golden rays over Konoha as Ren stood before the Ninja Academy. The massive building, filled with the future shinobi of the village, loomed before him.

His heartbeat was steady.

This was his first step toward truly integrating into the world of Naruto.

He wasn't here to stand out—not yet. His goal was to blend in, learn, and grow stronger in secret.

With a deep breath, he stepped inside.

---

The classroom was already bustling with students.

Ren recognized most of them instantly—Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Shikamaru, Ino, Sakura, Choji, Kiba, and others.

Naruto was arguing loudly with Kiba, while Shikamaru was slouched in his seat, looking bored.

Sasuke sat near the window, staring outside, while a group of girls (including Sakura and Ino) stole glances at him.

Hinata was sitting quietly in the corner, fidgeting with her fingers.

Ren scanned the room, keeping his expression neutral.

"I should avoid attracting attention."

He walked over to an empty seat, near the middle row.

Then—

"Oi! You're the new kid, right?"

Ren turned to see Naruto Uzumaki grinning at him.

The blonde boy was full of energy, his bright blue eyes filled with curiosity.

"Yeah," Ren said simply.

Naruto plopped down beside him. "Awesome! What's your name?"

Ren hesitated for a second before responding. "Ren."

Naruto grinned wider. "Well, nice to meet you, Ren! Let's be friends!"

Ren blinked. That was fast.

Before he could respond, another voice cut in—

"Tch. Don't bother. He's probably just another loser."

Sasuke.

The Uchiha didn't even look at them, his arms crossed.

Naruto's face darkened. "What'd you say, bastard!?"

Ren held back a smirk. "Just like in the anime."

2. First Lesson: Chakra Basics

Iruka-sensei entered the classroom, immediately bringing order to the chaos.

"Alright, everyone, settle down!"

The students took their seats as the lesson began.

"Today, we'll go over basic chakra control."

Ren listened carefully, even though he already knew this information.

Iruka continued, "Chakra is the energy inside us that allows us to perform jutsu. To use it properly, you must focus and mold it carefully."

Ren glanced at the others.

Naruto looked confused.

Sasuke seemed uninterested.

Hinata was quietly paying attention, occasionally glancing in his direction.

Iruka smiled. "We'll start with Leaf Concentration Training. Everyone, take a leaf and place it on your forehead. Your goal is to hold it in place using only your chakra."

Ren took a leaf, placing it on his forehead.

This was easy. He had already practiced chakra control for days.

But he had to pretend to struggle.

So, for the next ten minutes, he acted like he was having trouble while secretly refining his chakra flow.

Nearby, Naruto groaned. "Argh! This is impossible!"

Hinata, who was sitting close by, hesitated before speaking softly. "Um… you have to focus… and control your breathing…"

Naruto blinked, then grinned. "Oh! Thanks, Hinata!"

Hinata's face turned red, and she quickly looked down.

Ren raised an eyebrow. "She's already got feelings for him at this stage."

3. Meeting Hinata

After class, Ren was about to leave when he heard a soft voice.

"Um… Ren-kun?"

He turned to see Hinata Hyuga standing in front of him, her hands nervously clasped together.

Ren kept his expression calm. "Yes?"

Hinata looked down. "I… um… I saw that you were trying really hard in class."

Ren almost laughed. "Trying hard?" He had been faking.

But he simply nodded. "Yeah. Chakra control is tricky."

Hinata fidgeted. "If… if you want… I could help you practice."

Ren's eyes widened slightly. Hinata was offering to help him?

This was unexpected. But… it was a good opportunity.

He smiled. "I'd like that."

Hinata's face turned bright red. "O-Okay! Um… see you tomorrow, Ren-kun!" She quickly bowed and ran off.

Ren watched her go, smirking slightly.

"Interesting. Maybe this world won't be so bad after all."

4. Night Training – Strengthening the Copy System

That night, Ren snuck into the woods outside the village.

He had to train in secret.

---

[AFK System Progress]

Chakra Control: +3%

Clone Jutsu: 95% Mastery

Copy System Upgrade: Can now copy D-Rank Jutsu

---

Ren formed a hand seal.

"Bunshin no Jutsu."

A perfectly formed clone appeared beside him.

He nodded. "Good. I've mastered the Clone Jutsu completely."

Now, he needed to move on to something else.

He thought back to his encounter with Hinata.

"She's a Hyuga… which means she knows Gentle Fist techniques."

If he could observe her training, he might be able to copy some of her movements.

His plan was coming together.

Tomorrow, he would train with Hinata.

And soon—he would grow even stronger.
