Glassy Sky (A Naruto Fanfiction) - Training and Fanboys (2025)

Yosuga stood in the middle of the training grounds, breathing heavily. She knew she was pushing herself a bit too hard, especially since it was only five in the morning and she had to go to the academy soon. Large drops of icy sleet-like rain fell from the grey clouded over sky and pelted her harshly, but she paid it no mind. She was determined to get this right.

Still breathing heavily and shivering from the cold rain, Yosuga straightened her right arm out in front of her, fixing her hand so her thumb pointed upwards and her pointer finger pointed straight out in front of her while her other fingers curled into her fist. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening them to reveal her green eyes turned a light olive green color and her pupils dilated. Her kekkei genkai, Rerugan.

Gathering as much chakra as she could at the tip of her pointer finger, she aimed at a tree in front of her. A small ball of blue chakra shot through the air and hit the tree, leaving a small, barely noticeable hole in the tree. Yosuga stared at it a moment before gritting her teeth and shooting at the tree four more times. She yelled out in frustration. The tree seemed impenetrable against her balls of chakra. It infuriated her.

"Why can't I do this!?" She cried out in her small voice and kicked a small puddle of mud as she released the jutsu, leaving her temporarily blind from the strain the jutsu put on her eyes. It only worsened her mood as the mud splashed onto her legs and lower abdomen. She took a step foreword, knowing she probably shouldn't move when she was blind but too upset to care. This landed her on the ground as she stepped in a pothole just big enough for her foot. Yosuga groaned and rolled onto her back, looking up into the raining sky as her vision slowly started to clear.

She waited for a few more moments for her vision to return to her. It felt like a lot longer before she was granted use to her eyes. Her day was off to a dreary start. She sniffed and slowly stood up before stomping away from the training ground and back to her house. She had to be there before anyone else woke up.

Yosuga was still in a bad mood as she reached her clan's compound and strode into her house, making sure to keep quiet so she didn't wake her father or sister. She took off her soaked sandals and quietly walked upstairs to her room. Walking into her bathroom, Yosuga wrinkled her nose in distaste as she peeled off her soiled clothes.

Yosuga got in the shower as quickly as she could, lathering herself in soap twice to be sure she got every last particle of dirt off of her. From basically rolling around in the mud, her shower was extended. She hoped this wouldn't cause her a run-in with her family.

After her shower Yosuga quickly got dressed in her normal attire. A short sleeved white jacket that usually stayed zipped up covered her black shirt that matched her shorts. Chain metal protected her torso under her shirt and knee pads covered her knees. Her dark green clan symbol was printed on her back. After getting dressed Yosuga walked down the stairs and got an apple, trying to move quickly so she wouldn't have to be confronted with her family.

Yosuga's hopes were quickly flushed away as her sister, Minami, walked downstairs. Yosuga kept quiet, trying to walk out the door before her sister could speak. Before she could leave, Minami threw her arm around her little sister's shoulders.

"Good morning, Yosuga! Going to the academy?" She asked in a bright and cheery voice, smiling as she steered her sister out the door with her. Yosuga nodded. It had stopped raining and the sun was now beginning to come out behind the thin clouds, but the ground was soaked.

"Yes." She spoke in her normally quiet voice.

"Still? What are you, ten?"

"I'm eleven."

"Yes, as you say." Minami sighed dramatically before smiling. "Well, I just thought you'd be out of the academy at ten, since of course that's when I became a genin and everything." She bragged as they continued walking with Minami's arm still around Yosuga's shoulder. Yosuga sniffed and rubbed her nose. It was a bit red: a sign of a cold. Minami noticed this right away and gasped, smiling. "Aw, do you have a cold? That's a shame. A cold is a sign of weakness, you know."
