"Oh, shut on up," A voice muttered as a hand reached over towards a nightstand on his left and shut off the blaring alarm clock.

A young Ousei with his long black and pink hair down to his back sat on up in bed and let out a yawn as he slowly got out of bed and headed toward the bathroom to start his usual morning routine.

After a quick shower, he came out of the bathroom wearing a black and stripe pattern haori with his clan symbol on it in red. Underneath is a black and red long-sleeve shirt, along with red pants with a black strap on his pants leg. He also wore red and black ninja sandals and a pouch around his waist.

He was headed out of his room to eat breakfast when he saw a picture of his parents, which was sealed away in the scroll that came with him as a baby hanging on the wall next to the bedroom door.

"Father and Mother wish me to luck. My last day at the Academy is coming up," Ousei whispered, rubbing a hand against the picture for a moment before leaving the room.

He walked into the kitchen and made a nice omelet before stepping out of his apartment for the academy for one of his last remaining days there before graduation.

••••

He was walking through the village. As he walked toward the Academy, he could villagers talking.

"It's that demon child again. I can't believe he is still here in this village," A villager whispered.

"I don't know how he can still allow here he has done nothing but hurt people, that kid's aura is dangerous," Another villager said.

Ousei looked over at the villager with a dark glare making the two male villagers shit their mouths, not wanting to face the wrath of the sole Iguro member.

While he continued walking, he noticed someone was painting the Hokage monument in orange. He sighed, knowing that it was only one person who would do something like that.

'Naruko, you're constantly causing trouble. You have some growing up to do.' He thought, shaking his head at the scene with a barely noticeable smile on his pale face.

••••

He arrived at the academy and sighed in relief that it was quiet, meaning the annoying people weren't here yet.

He then walked over to his seat next to Hinata Hyuga and Shino.

"Good morning Hinata," He greeted quietly.

"U-um h-hello Ousei," Hinata said, blushing as she played with her fingers.

'Still shy as ever.' Ousei thought with a small smile.

"Hey, creepy eye freak, what are you smiling about?" A familiar voice asked.

Ousei turned around to see a familiar boy with short pink hair and green eyes. He wore a red shirt with a fishnet shirt underneath and black pants.

This was none other than Saku Haruno the twin brother of Sakura Haruno. He was born four hours before Sakura and acts like he is in charge because he is mentally intelligent, and is one of the major people in class who does like Ousei his two different eye colors and his strange appearance, and almost looks like a snake when he smiles. Through what Saku hated most about Ousei was the fact he had the attention of three girls one being the girl that Saku was determined to win over.

"Oh it's nothing, Saku, so why don't you go on somewhere and sit down," Ousei stated.

"Oh, why should he do that?" Another voice asked.

Ousei then noticed a male with short blonde hair with a bang covering one eye was now standing next to Saku. He was wearing a purple shirt shoeing his stomach and marching pants. He also had on mesh armbands. It was no other than Inojou Yamanaka who like Saku was in love with the same girl as Saku, making them huge rivals.

"Ino-pig," Saku greeted with a glare.

"Billboard brow," Inojou greeted back with a glare.

"Both of you leave him alone," A familiar female voice said.

Ousei glanced over to see none other than Suki Uchiha, one of the sole survivors of the Uchiha clan, walk into the class. She was born two hours after her twin brother Sasuke Uchiha. She is mostly a quiet girl who doesn't talk much. She has a strong rivalry with Naruko Uzumaki. However, she can be nicer than Sasuke if you don't get on her nerves.

"Ah, Suki, those creepy eyes are just freaky," Saku said, placing a hand on Suki's shoulder."You should focus more on me." She smirked.

"No, she should be focused on me, Billboard brow," Inojou commented.

"Hn," Suki said, walking away from the fighting boys and taking a seat in the open seat in front of Ousei.

Ousei noticed a woman walk into the room before her eyes landed on him and stared at him. He looked at her confused about what that was about until Iruka then walked into the room, holding a stack of papers and his clipboard, making the two boys go sit down.

"Good morning, everyone," Iruka greeted with a smile.

"Good Morning, Iruka-sensei," Most of the class greeted.

Ousei looked around to see that Naruko wasn't here yet like usual. She is probably still pulling her prank.

"Now, before we begin today's lesson. I have your scores from your last quiz," Iruka said, making the class look at him with their full attention.

Ousei rested his head against his fist as Iruka started to announce the lowest score, which was Naruko like usual, and began to tune him out until he heard the top three being announced.

"Third place goes to Saku Haruno," Iruka said. That wasn't surprising. Saku is an annoying fanboy, but he does have book smarts.

"The second place goes to Suki Uchiha, and for the highest is Ousei Iguro."

Ousei nodded, seeing he beat Suki Uchiha, which didn't make her fanboys happy. He then noticed Suki looking at him with blankly looking at him, but he could see she wasn't pleased with getting second place.

"No, well, that creepy eye freak beat Suki!" Saku shouted.

"Well, the score says unwise, Saku," Kiba said as Akamaru barked in agreement.

"Alright, settle down now, we-" Iruka was cut off by the door opening as a Chunin rushed into the room and walked over towards Iruka, saying something.

"Everyone stay here and review your notes. I need to take care of some," He said, rushing out of the classroom with the Chunin.

••••

Iruka then came back with a tied-up Naruko."Naruko, I'm at the end of my rope!" He shouted.

Naruko then rolled her eyes and turned her head away. Iruka then untied Iruka.

"Since Naruko missed it, we will review the Transformation Justu!" Iruka announced, making the class groan.

Ousei stood up and started to line on up with the rest of the class. Saku was the first one up.

"Okay, Saku, here, let's do this. Transform!" He transforms into Iruka.

"Transformed into me, good."

Saku transforms back as he smirks."Did you see that Suki" He asked, flirting with the female Uchiha like usual.

"Next up, Suki Uchiha."

Ousei shook his head at Saku as Suki ignored him and walked forward and transformed into Iruka as well, even better than Saku, of course.

"Okay, Ousei Iguro. You're up," Iruka said as Ousei nodded and walked up to the front.

He narrowed his eyes as he thought about who he would transform into.

"Iruka, do you care who I transform into?" Ousei asked, playing with his haori sleeve.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you transform into someone." He replied.

He nodded as he concentrated his chakra doing the handsign.

"Transform!"

The guys looked at Ousei with surprised and red faces as they saw Ousei transform into such a beautiful woman.

"Excellent job, but if you don't mind me asking, who is that?" Iruka said as he wrote down on his clipboard.

Ousei noticed the woman from earlier was gone and decided it wasn't his concern as he turned back to normal as he looked at Iruka. "She is my mother. I never met her, but I have a picture of her, and heard she was quite a shinboi," He explained.

Iruka nodded as he noted that the woman did seem a bit familiar from somewhere. He knew that Ousei was from a village with an alliance with the Hidden Leaf Village and that the Iguro clan was well respected but eventually feared for their swordsmen ship and their Kekkei Genaki.

"Next up, Naruko Uzumaki," Iruka said.

"This is a total waste of time," Shikamaru sighed.

"We always pay for your screw-up," Inojou complained.

"Like I care," Naruko muttered.

Just as Naruko was about to transform, Ousei felt a pair of hands cover my eyes, keeping him from seeing anything.

"You don't want to look," Suki said, catching Ousei off guard, almost not used to Suki talking to anyone for real except earlier telling the two fanboys to leave him alone.

"Transform!"

After a bit, Suki uncovered Ousei's eyes for him to see Naruko laughing at Iruka's nosebleed.

"Gotha! That was my sexy justu."

"Stop with the stupid tricks! This is your final warning!" Iruka yelled.

Ousei looked at Suki with his with a blank look on his face."What was that about covering my eyes?" He asked.

She blushed as Ousei asked that and quickly turned away."It was something you didn't need to see," She muttered.

Ousei just stared at her but finally just shrugged it off, seeing it wasn't that much of a big deal anyway.

••••

Today was finally the day of the graduation exam. The first part was the written test,t, and it talked about what it means to be a ninja and the history of Chakra, which Ousei found to be easy.

The next and final part of the test was over the clone justu.

He looked to see Naruko sitting in front of him, freaking out.

"Gahhhh! That's my worst jutsu!"

Ousei sighed and gently put a hand on her shoulder, calming her down silently without words.

"Thanks, Ousei-kun!" She beamed with a smile at Ousei's silent attempt to calm her down.

"Ousei, you're next!" Iruka called out.

Ousei stood up and walked into the room, seeing Iruka-sensei with a white hair guy. Ousei narrowed his eyes slightly, not having a great feeling about the other guy.

"Your test is to make three perfect clones."

Ousei did the hand signs as he closed his eyes. "Serpent clone Justu!" He said as he made five solid clones made out of brown serpents appear next to him.

Iruka and Mizuki stared at Ousei in surprise, never seeing that type of clone justu before.

"Y-You pass!" Iruka praised as he snapped out of his shock and gave Ousei a white headband.

Ousei took it and walked outside the room as he saw Naruko still feeling nervous about the test. Ousei nodded. He walked outside.

As Ousei was heading home, he spotted Naruko on the swing, looking sad. He then heard two village ladies talking.

"Look, I heard that she was the only one that did pass..."

"Yeah, it's a good thing, but I'm bad enough that boy did; after all, he injured a child for life. His ribs didn't heal correctly..."

Ousei's eyes hardened as he glared at the woman, making them flinch in fear. He was going to walk over toward Naruko but saw her take off with Mizuki.

'Naruko, you better be careful.' Ousei thought with a hardened look at Mizuki. He just didn't trust that guy.

So in this chapter, Ousei graduates from the academy ready to begin his new journey as a shinobi. You also get to see the small interactions with him and the three girls he will end up with when the time comes. As well as meeting male Sakura and Ino, the fanboys of Suki Uchiha. I hope you all enjoy the fourth chapter of The Silent Serpent.

Here we go I finished rewriting and editing chapter 4. The woman is Y/N belonging to albiengan. I went ahead and rewrote it adding her in earlier and making more sense on with Sakura and Sasuke suddenly being in the story. So edit it so we're there in my story with Saku and Suki being their twins.

Question of the day: What team are you hoping Ousei will be with?
