Vampire İn Naruto World

Chapter 5: Chapter5—The First Eclipse



Two years have passed.

During this time, I neither heard a word from the system nor received any real missions.

But every morning, I kept waking up with the same discipline and continued my training.

My body may belong to a child, but my soul and reflexes have already turned into those of a warrior.

I don't know any jutsu yet, but I don't need to; my body has already become a weapon.

At night, I silently search for blood, while during the day, I sweat to improve my chakra control.

I'm now closer to the nature of vampirism.

The feeling of hunger hits me from time to time, but I've learned to control it stealing bags of blood from the hospital when necessary, fulfilling my need without drawing attention.

My meetings with Hinata never ceased. She's like me now devoted, disciplined, and dangerous.

She smiles less now, hesitates less.

The weak and shy girl she once was is gone; in her place stands a warrior waiting for orders from the shadows.

As for me, Zekiram... I realize I am slowly abandoning my human side.

I no longer think of my father's death. I don't even feel anything about it anymore.

Death has become an ordinary result, applied when necessary.

There is no clear difference in my eyes between knocking out a civilian and killing someone.

To survive in this world, power is necessary and I'm ready to do anything to obtain it.

Today, the academy begins.

It was quiet.

My footsteps moved without echoing against the walls.

This new beginning… felt like an ordinary day to me.

There was no excitement.

Only preparation.

When I opened the door, the noise inside stopped.

All eyes turned to me.

My eyes quickly scanned them.

Sasuke. Shikamaru. Sakura. Kiba. Ino. Choji. And the others...

Konoha's Original Eleven.

I silently thought to myself:

"They're all here... Perfect."

At the front of the classroom, by the window, he was sitting.

We locked eyes.

He nodded his head...

And pointed to the empty seat next to him.

I walked over.

Sat down quietly.

"Sir… how are you today?"

"I'm managing."

"I heard Iruka-sensei will be teaching today... he's said to be strict."

"Is that so..."

After a while, everyone was chatting, then the door opened, and he stepped into the classroom.

His expression was serious, his steps were firm.

The class fell silent in an instant.

"Everyone to your seats! Time for introductions."

He walked to the board.

Picked up a piece of chalk.

Wrote his name.

"I'm Iruka Umino.

I'll be your instructor.

I'll be teaching you not just the basics, but also what it means to be a real ninja.

You won't just learn jutsu here…

You'll learn about yourselves.

What it means to fight… we'll grow together and learn that."

After a short pause, he scanned the classroom.

"Now... everyone introduce yourselves one by one. Let's start with you... yes, what was your name?"

He pointed... at me? Seriously?

I stood up.

All eyes were on me.

I stood straight, my voice cold and clear.

"Zekiram."

And I sat down again.

Nothing more.

No dreams, no favorite things...

Unnecessary.

Then it was Hinata's turn.

She stood up.

Glanced at me from the corner of her eye.

She spoke in a soft but confident voice.

"Hinata."

And sat down.

Brief.

Just like me.

Iruka sighed deeply.

Adjusted his glasses.

"Wonderful... very informative…"

"Let's move on to the next one…"

And just then...

The classroom door burst open with a loud bang.

A footstep…

A shout…

"I MADE IT, I'M ON TIME!!!"

A blond-haired boy with three marks on his face stormed into the class like a blast of energy.

Naruto Uzumaki.

The class froze.

Some were shocked, others barely held back their laughter.

Iruka jumped up instantly.

"NARUTO!!!

ALREADY BREAKING THE RULES ON THE FIRST DAY?!"

Naruto scratched his head and smiled.

"Ehehe… the alarm didn't go off..."

Hinata laughed involuntarily.

For the first time... sincerely.

Zekiram turned his head and looked at her.

"So, you're amused?"

"Um… Naruto is just... interesting."

"Is there something going on between you two?"

"No. It's just... his chakra is strange. Very… different. That's enough to make him interesting.

Sir, sometimes I run into him on the streets.

Once, I used my Byakugan on him and saw a bright red chakra focused entirely on his stomach.

It gave me chills.

I asked my father, but he only warned me never to do it again."

Zekiram thought for a moment.

"We'll talk later."

Iruka slammed his hand on the desk.

"That's enough! Take your seat, Naruto!

But first, introduce yourself!"

Naruto stretched out his arms and proudly shouted:

"MY NAME IS NARUTO UZUMAKI!

FUTURE HOKAGE, DATTEBAYO!

REMEMBER THAT!"

The class burst into laughter.

Sakura, Kiba, Ino… everyone was laughing.

Zekiram showed no reaction.

His face remained expressionless.

His eyes were studying Naruto carefully.

"Judging by his appearance would be a mistake..."

Iruka stared at Naruto for a long time.

There was an inexplicable tension on his face...

A bit of anger too.

There was a strange sharpness in his gaze.

Hinata noticed Iruka's harsh expression.

She slightly frowned.

But then shrugged and turned back to face forward.

Zekiram observed both Iruka's harshness and Hinata's lack of response.

Every detail was noted in his mind.

"That look... it's not just a teacher's frustration.

Iruka knows about the Kyuubi.

And he knows it's inside Naruto."

"He lost his parents…

So every time Iruka looks at him... he sees that monster."

While the class was bursting into laughter from Naruto's crazy introduction, Zekiram closed his eyes and thought to himself:

"Naruto Uzumaki.

Konoha's most outcasted child... yet the future legend.

Hidden power, a sealed beast, endless determination… yes, all in that body.

But for now... just a loud kid."

Laughter continued for a while.

Naruto was still muttering to himself, but eventually, the class quieted down.

Iruka adjusted his glasses and took a deep breath.

"Finally… we can start the lesson."

"I won't push you too hard today.

But you need to know what to expect at the academy."

The class was generally attentive.

But suddenly, Iruka's expression turned serious as he changed the topic.

"Today, we'll be testing you a little.

A small written test and some simple physical exercises.

I need to assess your level."

In that moment, something echoed in my ears:

[New Mission: Take First Place in the Tests]

Description: Succeed in all the tests Iruka will conduct.

Reward: Vampire Eyes

Alright… not too difficult.

But… "Vampire Eyes"?

Is that something like the Sharingan?

"System, can you explain?"

Vampire Eyes are a special ocular ability that, like the Sharingan, can be activated and deactivated at will and consume chakra when used.

Passive abilities include:

• Enhanced vision

• Ability to see chakra with your eyes

• Partial ability to perceive the power gap between you and your opponent

Active mode includes:

• Hypnosis ability

• Affects those who are mentally weak or weaker than you

• Currently, only a few minutes of control or temporary memory erasure is possible

• As the user grows stronger, the abilities improve

This… is actually pretty good.

But there's one problem...

"I've been training for two years, but I've never studied the academy basics.

I'll probably fail the written part… the physical one I can handle.

I need a quick solution."

Well, I guess I'll have to cheat...

I slowly turned to Hinata and whispered:

"Hinata… I need your help with something."

Hinata's eyes lit up instantly.

Her face practically glowed.

"Yes, sir? What do you need? I'm listening!"

This... excessive excitement I'll never understand it.

It's become normal, it seems.

"During the test, I need to look at your answers.

Help me cheat."

As soon as Zekiram finished speaking, Hinata slightly bowed her head.

"Of course, sir.

It would be an honor to assist you."

A few minutes later, Iruka stood at the front of the class with a stack of papers.

He handed out the tests one by one.

Zekiram frowned as he looked at his paper.

"Just as I thought…"

Most of the questions were theoretical.

Ninjutsu terminology, history, academy protocols...

Zekiram had focused on physical training for two years.

He hadn't bothered with information like this.

After staring at the paper for a while, Hinata made her move.

Suddenly...

Hinata silently swapped her test paper with Zekiram's.

Her movement was so swift and graceful that no one noticed.

On the new paper…

All the answers were written.

Neat, clean, complete.

This girl… she really would do anything to please me.

Such blind loyalty...

Useful, but also terrifying.

Time ticked slowly.

The scratching of pencils faded, breathing grew quieter.

"Time's up!" Iruka called loudly.

"Place your papers neatly on your desks!"

The papers were collected.

Zekiram glanced at Hinata.

She bowed her head with a small smile.

She had done a perfect job.

Iruka raised his hand.

"Now… time for the physical test.

Everyone to the yard!"

The class stood up.

They moved to the sunny yard.

The soil was slightly dry, a few training dummies were set up at the side.

Iruka began reading matchups from a paper.

"Sakura – Ino

Kiba – Shino

Choji – Shikamaru…"

With each pairing, cheers erupted, little shouts of excitement.

Then Iruka paused.

He looked at the class.

"Sasuke Uchiha – Zekiram"

Sasuke, huh…

Already the favorite of everyone.

But right now… just another kid in this class.

As Sasuke stepped forward, voices rose from the crowd:

"Sasuke's gonna win!"

"Show them, Uchiha!"

"Sasuke-kun is so handsome!"

Naruto sighed with jealousy.

But then shouted:

"Go Zekiram! Show them your strength, dattebayo!"

Hinata chimed in at the same moment:

"Zekiram, be careful!"

The crowd paused for a second.

Hinata not cheering for Sasuke was... noticeable.

Sasuke stopped, narrowing his eyes.

"I don't even remember you."

Zekiram took just one step.

"You don't need to.

But you won't forget today."

Iruka stepped in between the two fighters, holding up his hand.

"The rules are simple: No jutsu allowed.

Only pure taijutsu.

Punches, kicks, agility, and balance.

Stay in control—no one gets seriously hurt.

Begin!"

As soon as Iruka stepped aside, the dirt covered field fell silent.

Two children one a member of Konoha's most gifted clan, the other a mysterious white-haired boy locked eyes.

Sasuke made the first move.

He crouched and lunged forward.

His fist sliced through the air, but Zekiram tilted his head slightly left and dodged it.

"This is Uchiha speed? Too slow."

Zekiram countered with a low kick.

Sasuke barely escaped by leaping back, but he lost his balance.

In the blink of an eye, Zekiram changed position.

With a series of strikes, he pushed Sasuke backward.

One punch to the arm.

Second to the ribs.

A knee strike just below the hip.

"What's happening…?"

"Sasuke's falling behind!"

The spectators started murmuring.

Naruto watched with his mouth open.

Shikamaru frowned.

Ino couldn't figure out what was happening to Sasuke.

Sasuke leapt back to gain distance.

His breathing was fast, sweat forming on his forehead.

Zekiram stood still.

As if he hadn't even taken a breath.

"Get serious already!" Sasuke shouted.

"Are you mocking me?!"

Sasuke charged in rage. Punches, kicks…

He was fast.

But Zekiram was faster.

Zekiram caught Sasuke's punch under his arm, grabbed his wrist, twisted over his shoulder and...

Sasuke was slammed flat on his back.

A cloud of dust rose into the air.

Zekiram simply turned his back and walked away from the combat area.

Hinata was smiling

Naruto was bouncing in place.

"Whoa! Zekiram was amazing, dattebayo!!"

Even before the dust settled, most of the class knew the result.

Zekiram had floored Sasuke and with almost no effort.

Iruka paused for a few seconds, then spoke loudly:

"Winner: Zekiram!"

A murmur spread through the class.

Sakura covered her mouth with her hand.

Ino stared at Sasuke in shock.

Shikamaru muttered:

"This kid… is going to be trouble."

Sasuke suddenly clenched his teeth and punched the ground as he stood up.

His eyes were filled with fury.

Sweat on his forehead matched the fire in his gaze.

Zekiram kept walking without even glancing back.

But then Sasuke spoke from behind:

"This isn't over, Zekiram…

Next time, I'll be the one who wins!"

Zekiram paused for a moment.

He didn't even turn his head.

He just left behind a short sentence:

"We'll see…"

After all the matches were over, Iruka lined the class up again.

The students were tired, but excitement was at its peak.

Who scored what?

Who stood out?

Iruka carefully studied the result sheets in his hand, then took a deep breath and began speaking:

"Today's results are based on written performance and taijutsu testing.

And I must say… the class overall showed an average performance. But…"

He paused.

The class held its breath.

"Only two students got full marks in both the written and physical tests."

Everyone looked around, curious.

Sakura widened her eyes.

Naruto thought, "Could it be me?" but stayed silent.

Iruka finished his sentence:

"Those students are… Zekiram and Hinata Hyuga."

A short shockwave rippled through the class.

Even Sasuke looked at Zekiram, then at Hinata.

Ino whispered softly:

"Hinata? That quiet girl?.."

After a brief silence, Naruto smiled:

"Wow! You two are amazing!"

Hinata bowed her head without blushing, but her face carried pride.

Zekiram, on the other hand, didn't change his expression.

He simply let out a quiet sigh:

"Objective complete. Time for the reward…"

Zekiram silently stood up.

He turned toward Hinata, nodded slightly, and began walking toward her.

The class was still in shock, whispering among themselves.

As Zekiram approached Hinata, they locked eyes.

Though Hinata tried to hide it, the joy in her eyes was unmistakable.

Zekiram spoke shortly but clearly:

"Well done, Hinata."

Hinata's eyes sparkled.

With a small smile, she bowed her head.

"You too… Zekiram."

Their exchange was brief, but their eye contact and body language said enough.

Just then, a familiar "ding" echoed in Zekiram's mind.

[Mission Complete!]

Reward: Vampire Eyes unlocked.

Your eyes can now see chakra. Hypnosis and mental manipulation abilities are available.

Energy consumption: moderate.

Note: To activate and control the ability, focus within your eyes is required in a suitable environment.

Zekiram's eyes narrowed slightly.

The sudden influx of information filled his mind it felt like a direct download.

"This isn't the right time to test it…

It would attract too much attention."

He calmly returned to his seat.

Naruto, still buzzing with excitement, was talking nonstop next to him.

But Zekiram didn't give him any attention.

"I'll test the eyes once I get home…"

He could feel the power shimmering behind his eyelids.

A new door had been opened.
