Chapter Size: 1356 Words.
Third Person POV
Somewhere in the training fields, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
"Hm?!" A boy with yellow hair suddenly awakens in a forest clearing.
"What a darn headache..." He mutters as he scratches his head, trying to
alleviate the pain. A few seconds pass, and he stands up, particularly
disturbed, looking around, trying to figure out where he is. It seems he's
even lost the knowledge of his own name.
His eyes scan the area, unsure of what to do, and he ends up looking at
his small hands with some wounds on them.
"My hands hurt a bit? And I don't remember having such tiny hands...
Hm?! Wait! I'm starting to remember... Is this real? Did it really happen?
So, I've truly come to this fictional world!" The boy, who was quite lost
until now, starts jumping and shouting as things fall into place in his
mind.
"Now I need something to see my face, and fast!" He seems excited,
searching for anything that could show his reflection to confirm some
things.
It doesn't take long for him to hear the sound of rushing water from one
corner of the forest, and he immediately runs in that direction. The six-
year-old boy runs as if his life depends on it, but he's laughing and
excited about what he'll see in his reflection.
He sees a river with a strong current and jumps from the highest hill he
can find with his child's body to reach it. As soon as he reaches the
riverbank, the first thing he does is look at his reflection in the water.
Even with the water flowing, he can see himself there: spiky and stylish
blonde hair, blue eyes, and a big smile on his face, expressing his current
joy. Despite having a child's face, his identity is unmistakable. He's one of
the most significant characters in this universe, and he has earned the
right to be that character!
"I... I am Namikaze Minato! Hahahahaha!" The boy laughs by himself on
the riverbank.
While laughing, he can't help but think that he's no longer the Minato
Namikaze from Naruto's original story, but a transmigrator who has been
given a new chance to live in this world. His purpose is to satisfy a bored
cosmic entity called ROB, who wanted to see a new story to escape his
boredom. So, he sent a new soul here to replace a key character and have
fun with the changes this new arrival would bring to the world, complete
with a few privileges.
"My cheat is simple; I have the Pika Pika no Mi without its water
weakness and a One Piece world body, along with the ability to use
chakra. That's really good and gives me a potential far greater than
canonical Minato!" He exclaims in his mind while still jumping on the
riverbank.
"Besides having Minato's talent, I can become the world's greatest taijutsu
expert with the six styles. I also have a body made of light and
destructive abilities with the fruit. Best of all, I didn't even have to eat it
and experience its horrible taste, as it's always described! There are other
cool things too, like Haki, which is like Uzumaki abilities and sensors
compared to Observation Haki or how Raikages would deal with their
Lightning Chakra Cloaks against an even more powerful attack and solid
defense with Armament Haki!" The young Minato can already envision
his future battles.
"Unfortunately, that ROB limited me to Conqueror's Haki. He just said
that I couldn't end a war solely by using my aura, so he limited me to 1%
of my potential with this Haki. But I can still use it to stun some people,
which is still pretty good. I hope that changes in the future..." The young
Minato is still happy, very happy with everything, ready to show his
power when the time is right in the future.
"I'm sure the First Ninja War has already passed, but I'll still be involved
in the Second, Third, and Fourth Ninja Wars. They'll all fall before
Minato Namikaze! And I don't plan on becoming a puppet Hokage for
those old folks, or dying during the birth of my first child!" He shouts
happily, making promises about what won't happen to him.
"Although I believe the Second War must be happening now... Strange, I
still can't remember anything about Minato before this point..." He
murmurs a bit.
"Can I see his memories if I try to search his mind? Let's try to see what's
happening in young Minato's life..." He begins to focus on his memories,
and they respond by giving him a headache, just like before. But his
curiosity and hunger for information override the pain, and he continues
to force his memories.
Now he knows that Minato was an orphan in one of Konoha's
orphanages, having arrived in the village two years ago and being in the
orphanage ever since. He had friendships with all the children. This was
the time when Minato used to share with his orphan friends. However, he
discovered that tomorrow would be his first day at the ninja academy.
So, he left the orphanage and came to one of the training fields near the
village to train. He trained until he hurt his hands, much like they are
now, with wooden kunai. It was during the next moment when his
personality changed, and his powers were transferred to his altered body.
This body not only possessed chakra but had superhuman potential
beyond any ninja in the world, maybe second only to jinchuuriki in terms
of physical potential.
"So, tomorrow, the academy will begin... The Second Hokage ruled a few
years ago, and Hiruzen is now wearing the Hokage hat. The Second
World War hasn't started yet, Mito is still alive, and Kushina won't come
to Konoha for a few more years. But I must get stronger by then because I
have to protect her from the Cloud Village people, and maybe I can save
Uzushiogakure in the future." He thought.
"First, I should start my personal training. Maybe I should begin with
Observation Haki and prepare my body with weights before starting
training with the six styles." He thought while organizing and mentally
listing his next steps.
"I need to master fuinjutsu... Learning from Mito-Sama is the best option,
but I doubt I could ever reach her. I can't just show up at the Senju
residence and say, 'Hello, I'm just an ordinary orphan and I want to see
the village's most powerful weapon and the person with the highest
authority in the country, where even the Hokage and the Daimyo of the
country should be respectful in her presence.' Minato thought ironically.
"It's not the time for me to meet her yet. For now, it's just training and
buying some weight seals when I have some savings. So, I'll focus on
what I can do now..." Minato thought internally.
Unable to do much, Minato decided to return to the place where he woke
up in this world and picked up some ugly and crooked wooden kunai that
the old Minato had used for training since it was the only thing an
orphan could acquire. He only had three of them, so he gathered them all
on the ground and prepared to train.
"Let's start with this. Tomorrow, I'll begin my real training after the
academy!" Minato thought as he started throwing some kunai at various
forest targets.
Author's note:
I've always wanted to write a Naruto fanfic, and I was inspired to include
a Devil Fruit with an SI of Minato, one that can have a happy ending for
his story. I hope you enjoy it. Here begins a new saga in the world of
chakra users!
I'm open to feedback and criticism, so feel free to share your thoughts.
In the auxiliary chapters, I wrote about the main characters and their
personalities with images of them as young and adult.
Help this story grow with reviews and PowerStones, if possible!
Thank you in advance, and I hope you have a good read.

Third Person POV
Somewhere in the training fields, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
"I'm exhausted, my body doesn't seem to have much endurance yet. I
have a long and challenging journey ahead for more intense training..."
Minato said to himself dissatisfied as he returned to the village center
after his intense training.
The sky had an orange hue at this moment, indicating that it was nearing
the end of the day, and the sun was losing its shine to make way for the
rising moon on the other side. In Konoha, nighttime activities were
beginning.
But not nighttime activities like gambling houses or brothels; Tobirama,
the Second Hokage, never wanted those in the village. However, he
couldn't prohibit them either, so he pushed these establishments away
from the main streets, and these types of places seemed to act as a black
market within the village. This was beneficial for many ninja and
civilians because their actions could be more discreet in these places
without tarnishing their family or wife's reputation.
As Minato walked, he couldn't help but notice something.
"Strange, the village looks as developed as it did in the anime. I thought
it would be less developed since we're about 30 years before the TV
series..." Minato thought as he passed Uchiha ninja patrols, acting as the
village's police force.
Putting aside thoughts about Konoha's urbanization, Minato couldn't help
but marvel as he saw people going about their business, traders opening
their shops, families with children, civilians in plainclothes, and some
leaping between rooftops silently. Others passed by like a flash so fast
that Minato couldn't keep up with them using his current eyes. All of this
seemed to be a pretty normal sight within Konoha.
"This place is so active at dusk, and it's just beginning. This world is
incredible!" Minato laughed internally, thinking that all of this would be
part of his life.
He continued walking through the village center, admiring everything
and everyone, to finally leave the bustling area and enter a more modest
region. But even here, there were activities in some shops and people
outside their homes.
Minato moved forward through the somewhat poorer area of Konoha
until he reached a two-story building, his orphanage. It wasn't very well
maintained, and the building looked old, even though it was only a little
over 30 years old. Yet, this orphanage could accommodate more than 30
children, and Konoha's administration financed and took care of it to
ensure they could support these children.
Minato sighed and went to the door. There was no one playing in the
yard at this time, and the young boy with blond hair knew what was
waiting for him.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
With his knocks on the door, he heard someone with heavy steps
approaching, appearing to be in a hurry.
"Did you find the boy?!" The first thing Minato heard before a middle-
aged woman, in her 40s, opened the door and exclaimed these words
with a worried expression.
The woman quickly looked at him and fell silent, which lasted for 10
seconds before she made sure he was alone and showed a stern face from
there.
"Minato! Where were you?! I asked some Genin to look for you when you
weren't among the children at curfew! Now you show up alone, so you
came back on your own, but still, you better tell me where you were!"
She said sternly while analyzing him, all sweaty, with dirty clothes and
some calluses on his hands from throwing kunai after hours of training.
Minato had to shrink his shoulders a bit, knowing how severe this
woman was, but she still cared for him.
"Madame Gorete, I was training, and I lost track of time while doing so
on one of the training fields..." Minato said a bit reluctantly. He had to let
her know.
"I know you want to be Hokage and all, and you're excited to start the
academy tomorrow, but you shouldn't go out like this and come back so
late, boy. I'll let it slide today since you and a new batch of children will
be going to the academy tomorrow, but there won't be a next time, so
you better be more careful!" She warned him, and Minato gave her an
apologetic smile.
"Thank you, Madame Gorete! I promise to be more careful next time," he
said, and she made way for him to enter and go past her.
"Go to your room and get some clothes. You need to take a bath before
dinner." She requested, and he nodded, heading to the orphanage's stairs
since the children's rooms were upstairs.
Minato climbed the stairs and entered one of the doors in the hallway.
There was a shared room for the children with several beds, and it was
still too early to sleep, so everyone was awake, gossiping, and playing
with each other.
Minato's arrival didn't go unnoticed, and many raised their eyebrows
when he entered, looking disheveled...
"Where were you, Minato?" one of them raised their voice, gaining the
attention of the other 8 children.
"I was training in the forest," he said simply.
"Hm? Training? Well, you'll need it, as you'll be behind me tomorrow,"
one of the boys said arrogantly, wearing a mocking smile.
"Good luck with that. As you can see, I'm dirty, and Madame Gorete
asked me to take a bath before dinner, so I'm heading to the bathroom.
See you later." Minato simply said, reaching his bed, grabbing his towel
and some clothes, and leaving through the same door he entered, leaving
the children quickly bewildered.
He didn't want to pay them any attention. Minato had a much more
mature mindset now, so why bother responding to a bunch of kids? He
didn't even care and continued taking care of his own business.
Minato quickly took a bath in the communal tub and, once clean and
fresh, went to the first floor where the large communal kitchen was
located.
The 30 orphanage
children were already eating at this time. They ranged in age from 4 to
14, and by 15, they had to leave the orphanage and find a job to carry on
with their lives. In a world where 8-year-old children were taught to kill
like emotionless machines, the age of majority was 15 for those who
weren't ninja.
"Hey, Minato went to train in the forest, can you believe it!" one of the
children suddenly shouted these words to the older kids.
"Hm?! Is it true? Do you think you'll pass the tests tomorrow? I can even
show you some cool jutsu I learned at the academy if you want!" One of
the boys, about 3 years older, said, seemingly showing off in front of him
and the other children.
Minato rolled his eyes. He knew the boy was lying. In the academy, you
only learned the basic techniques, which were 3 E-rank jutsu, or at least
that was how it was in the anime. This boy just wanted to show off to the
younger ones.
"Really?! Big brother, please teach me!"
"You're so cool!"
"It seems your trick to look cool worked..." Minato murmured internally
but didn't care any further. He grabbed his bowl of stew to replenish the
energy he had spent during his training that afternoon.
"Enough chit-chat! Finish your meals before bedtime!" Madame Gorete
quickly told them to stop gossiping and focus on their food.
Minato remained silent after that, not wanting to talk much, and ate in
silence while savoring the stew at the end of his plate.
They returned to the room afterward and went straight to bed.
Minato could hear the children's chatter about going to the academy
tomorrow and the younger ones complaining about having to wait one or
more years.
The blond let his consciousness fade as he closed his eyes and quickly fell
asleep, not caring about the outside world.
...
...
"WAKE UP! LET'S GO TO THE NINJA ACADEMY! WAKE UP, LET'S
BECOME NINJAS!" Minato woke up with all that noise being made by
one of the children.
"Stop yelling! I'm trying to sleep!" someone said, but the boy in question
seemed quite excited and kept shouting.
The future Yellow Flash got up after that, yawning, and started preparing
to return to the center of Konoha. He had never been to the academy in
these two years, so he needed to get ready.
After having a quick breakfast, Madame Gorete asked the other
orphanage staff to take care of the other children who would stay behind.
There were children who had already gone to the academy to study
earlier since they had passed the academy's ninja test in recent years.
Meanwhile, Madame Gorete would take a group of six children to fill out
the forms and take the admission tests. This group was the only one
available in this small orphanage to have a chance to enter the life of a
ninja this year.
"I'm so excited! I'm going to be ahead of all of them!"
"I'm going to be! Not even the big clans can beat me!"
"You're just talking fantasies. Everyone knows that we civilians don't
stand a chance against them."
"I refuse to be a cannon fodder like you say! I'm going to be Hokage!"
Minato ignored this kind of conversation and continued following the
orphanage caretaker through the streets of Konoha. People looked at the
group of children with some smiles, as everyone knew that today was the
test day.
They walked a long way since the village was quite large and finally
arrived near the Hokage building and the wall with the statues of three
men. This was where the academy set up by the Second Hokage was
located.
"This place is immense!" Minato exclaimed as they arrived in front of the
gates. The place really looked like a college with an area of at least 200
square meters.
"Well, I guess it's fair since Konoha should have between 10,000 to
20,000 active shinobi, and replenishing these ranks is extremely
important after a war and performing missions with such a deadly
profession and a high mortality rate, which is being a shinobi." Minato
thought silently.
As they entered, they saw a large crowd of people gathered, and Madame
Gorete pushed them into the large crowd. There must have been about a
thousand children there, with many parents accompanying them and
other groups like theirs, as Konoha had hundreds of other orphanages in
the village.

Third Person POV
Madame Gorete's Orphanage, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
Minato and his group reached the crowd with Madame Gorete, blending
in as more people continued to gather.
"Madame Gorete!" They had just found a spot in the crowd to wait for
further instructions, and a man dressed as a chunin approached and
spoke to Madame.
"Hello, Irlon! How are you?" She said with a polite smile.
"I'm fine, Madame Gorete. Some genins told me that you lost one of your
kids yesterday, but he came back on his own." He said as his eyes
scanned the group of kids.
"Yes, one of those little rascals gave us quite a scare yesterday. It was that
blond one over there, running off to train in some training field." She said
with a wry smile, clearly dissatisfied with what had happened the day
before.
"Hahaha. Don't be too mad at the kid; he's just excited about the prospect
of entering the academy. Do you want to be a great ninja, kid?" He asked
Minato.
"Of course, I do!" Minato replied with a warm smile, though not as
exaggerated as the other children. He remained calm, just like the Minato
from the original series, who always had an easy smile but was also calm
and analytical.
"Then I'll be looking forward to great results from your tests, just like
with the other children!" He encouraged Minato, who nodded in
gratitude. He truly appreciated those words.
Minato began to think about how Madame Gorete had strong connections
among the ninja. Not a jonin, but she knew some chunin and a handful of
genin. He now realized that most of them had been raised by her, which
was quite evident.
The children next to Minato started shouting at the ninja who was
Madame's friend, saying they would do better and come in first.
Minato ignored the chaos from the other groups, as seeing a thousand
children gathered in one place was unbearable. He began to imagine
what the tests would be like, knowing that they would involve kunai
throwing, but it would not be something to fail the kids on, as that could
be developed in the middle of the academy. Minato wasn't worried about
that, even though he had to improve his accuracy over the rest of the
year.
There should be two more tests: one physical, which had to be done on a
circuit, and another, the last test, which Minato believed to be the main
one.
"The one to test the children's chakra affinity, of course. Konoha will
want to nurture children who have an easier time molding their chakra."
Minato thought while the crowd continued to grow.
He was lost in his own thoughts when he felt a certain commotion
coming from his surroundings.
"Look, it's Princess Senju!" Someone yelled as if they had seen the Hokage
himself.
Curious about this title, which he only remembered from his few years in
the village, belonging to someone named Senju Tsunade, Minato quickly
looked to that side, wondering why Tsunade would appear here.
The boy noticed how the crowd was parting to make way for a trio that
entered, as they opened a path through the crowd. This demonstrated
that the people had great respect for this little group.
Minato was amazed by this sight. There were three people in the group,
but it was something he never expected to see here, especially the other
two people beside the First Hokage's granddaughter.
"Tsunade-Sama brought her daughter to the academy! I hope my son can
study with her!" A woman near Minato, presumably someone's mother,
quickly shouted.
Yes, Minato was amazed that Tsunade had a daughter and that she was
walking in front of her mother and father.
"Tsunade had a daughter with Dan? This is very unexpected, especially
since I thought she would be around 18 years old now, but it seems she is
a few years older than I thought, maybe around 25..." Minato reasoned,
looking at Tsunade in her prime and accompanied by her husband.
"But seeing the girl walk in front of her parents like this, she seems as
arrogant as her mother was in those flashbacks from the anime..." Minato
murmured, thinking that Tsuna, despite looking cheerful and smiling,
walked with an air of arrogance among the crowd, her nose held high.
He concluded that he should avoid getting on her bad side.
He didn't realize he was caught up in his own thoughts, and he didn't see
the shadow blocking the morning sun in front of him. More precisely,
three shadows were in front of him.
"Hey, kid! I heard you say some strange things. I have to ask you, who
are you talking about, and are you saying it's as arrogant as her own
mother?!" He heard someone with an annoying voice in front of him.
Minato quickly raised his head, snapping out of his thoughts, and
realized that the trio that had attracted attention until a while ago was
now standing in front of him.
Minato seemed to have gotten in their way without realizing it, as
everyone else moved aside to let them pass. The family had stopped for
the first time, and a boy had been standing in their way, and he had
heard what Minato had said. The women in that group looked at him
with fierce eyes.
"I..." Minato was taken aback by this, the young blonde girl, very similar
to her mother, glared at him with deep annoyance.
"Tell me, I hope you're not referring to us!" She asked again, annoyed.
"Kid, you'd better not be talking about us!" Tsunade, the woman behind
the girl, spoke with arrogance, crossing her arms as well. Mother and
daughter looked so alike that even Minato was surprised.
The entire crowd had their eyes on them now. They had been watching
the trio since their arrival, but now the little orphan who had apparently
irritated the women in the group was also receiving everyone's attention,
some with sympathy, and others thinking they were watching an
entertaining show.
"Can we keep going? I'm sure the kid wasn't talking about us..." Dan, the
white-haired man, tried to calm the situation. He saw the boy in a
difficult situation and knew it was better than making enemies of the
women in his life, with all the experience he had dealing with that at
home.
"Dan, you're too soft on kids. Let's just leave this stinky brat this time. I
want to see that old man when he shows up." Tsunade said, still with her
arms crossed, and she pushed Tsuna to keep walking. Minato quickly
moved aside to get out of their way and this commotion.
"I hope we can meet again, kid!" Tsuna said before continuing her way,
leaving Minato somewhat confused about the kind of trouble he had
gotten into without even entering the academy yet.
"What kind of person is this girl... and what have I gotten into with just a
few thoughts spoken aloud..." He still couldn't believe the situation he
found himself in, but it was clear that the girl was vengeful, and Minato
knew they would encounter each other many times in the years to come.
"Minato, you're so brave. I wonder why the Senju princesses looked so
irritated with you," one of his orphanage peers teased him.
"Min
ato, show some more respect for people!" Madame Gorete quickly scolded
him, showing her displeasure with the boy.
"I... I'm sorry, Madame. It wasn't my intention..." That was all Minato
managed to say, a bit lost.
Minato was now thinking about how to get out of this situation, but
another group seemed to arrive, pushing everyone aside as they made
their way through, even more so than the previous group.
"Look, it's the Uchihas!" Someone shouted from the other side of the
gathered crowd.
Minato looked once again to the entrance of the academy and saw a
group of people with stern, almost expressionless faces, leading some
children in front of them.
"They look like some kind of mafia; they're all so proud..." Minato
thought as he noticed they made a point of displaying their emblem on
their clothes, the fan with flames.
Minato spotted a young girl among them, her hair unique.
With a ribbon tied above her head, similar to the young Sakura's, she had
her hair tied in the back, with two strands falling in front of her, giving
her a unique hairstyle.
"That girl is Mikoto Uchiha, the eldest daughter of the clan leader. It's a
shame that the Uchihas are so closed off, so you'd better not get close to
her or any of them to avoid trouble, understand?" A father seemed to be
advising and warning his son next to Minato.
"The mother of Itachi and Sasuke? She's certainly very traditional, but
even so, she's so different from what I imagined... It seems she will study
with me, which is not strange, as Kushina and Mikoto were friends in the
original work..." Minato reasoned.
He was alone, lost in thought, listening to the gossip from the adults,
which turned out to be quite reliable here.
But that didn't last long, as a while later, whether it was the other
children or the adult ninjas and civilians, everyone stopped talking
because on a stage in front of the huge crowd of thousands of people, a
middle-aged man entered with a red hat on his head. The Hokage himself
had arrived.

Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
"...Today we will begin a new phase for the Leaf, what I see when I see
all these children is our future, the future of Konoha, with the Will of
Fire, I see the success of our village with these new leaves and sprouts!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, spoke easily for all present to hear
him; he made a 20-minute speech, emphasizing the importance of
Konoha and the Will of Fire.
Minato heard that, but his eyes were rolled. He knew it was just a way to
introduce an ideology that everyone must sacrifice for the village and
obey their superiors like killing machines without questioning orders. He
didn't want that, and he didn't like how the village and the Hokage
manipulated children with these words.
'I promise to change this when I become Hokage!' He said to himself.
Looking around, he saw how the children had shining eyes, while the
adults seemed to agree with all these words.
The Hokage looked at the crowd with satisfaction; the situation among
the nations is becoming critical, and a new war may break out in the
coming years. A new batch of ninjas must be nurtured before, hoping to
pick good sprouts here. He saw the boys looking at him with eyes shining
with adoration for the most part, except for a few. Many of the
prominent clans didn't have that look; Tsunade and her daughter
particularly just rolled their eyes. The Uchihas had expressionless and
scowling looks, while the Naras just looked at him with boredom. But
Hiruzen couldn't do anything about it.
There were many people gathered, while the Hokage surveyed the place
with a sense of accomplishment. He didn't know that among the civilians,
there was a certain blond boy looking at him with eyes different from the
others, and it would intrigue the Hokage if he had noticed, as it is
expected from clans but not from a civilian.
Anyway, after the motivational and manipulative speech, he stepped
down from the stage, leaving the academy chunins to take over the
organization of the tests among the crowd, handing out forms for the
guardians to fill out with the children's data before conducting the tests.
Madame Gorete took a stack of them with her fellow ninjas and began
filling them out for the children.
This took many hours, once all the papers were handed in and the final
hour closed, dozens of ninjas took a group of children to lead them to the
largest testing field, dividing them into their groups.
Minato was among the boys from the orphanage, being led by one of the
examiners to the first test, which turned out to be kunai throwing.
When his turn came after a short wait, he picked up the iron kunai for
the first time in his life. He felt the weight significantly different from the
wooden ones he trained with yesterday and began throwing them at the
designated targets after getting a little familiar with the weapon. He
didn't achieve a great result with a score of 40% on the targets, but he
didn't find his result as bad as he expected.
"Minato got more points than me!" One of the children, the one who
claimed to be ahead of everyone, only scored 30% of the targets, feeling
quite dejected.
"I think this test is not as important as you think; I believe you should
focus on the upcoming tests," Minato advised him calmly.
"Yeah, I think you're right. Thank you, Minato," he said.
The next test was as Minato predicted, a circuit to assess the children's
physical conditions. With the same group as the previous test, they
started running together. Most children thought it was a race to see who
could finish first, so chaos ensued at the starting line. The children
burned all their energy to stay ahead.
Meanwhile, Minato ran rhythmically to conserve his physical energy. He
was naturally stronger than the others with his otherworldly body, so he
ended up finishing first after passing the exhausted children on the way.
Even though it wasn't his initial intention, as he thought the result wasn't
very important.
"Kid, good physical fitness, I'm impressed!" The Chunin said, jotting down
the results on his clipboard after seeing Minato arrive first, surprising the
examinee who didn't seem very tired.
'Yesterday's training was much worse than a simple obstacle course
where the children had to jump and crouch as they went through the
test,' Minato thought.
He didn't start the circuit in the first place, but the children in front
quickly tired, and he passed them while maintaining his own effortless
pace.
The orphanage children wanted to talk to him after that, but he ignored
them and continued to the next test.
'What can I say to them? They'll keep screaming that it's unfair for me to
be better than them and stuff. I'm not in the mood to answer stupid
questions,' he thought as he walked to the next test.
Now there was another Chunin in front of them, and they formed a large
line in front of him. The test was designed for each to be tested with the
release of chakra in their bodies and the affinities that the children
possess, something that surprised Minato to hear since, in the original
work, the ninja academy didn't seem to care about that. It was quite
strange from his other life; elemental affinities should be something
important.
He wasn't the first in line, so he had to wait his turn as they walked to
the Chunin who placed a chakra finger on the child's chest to release it,
and then the child had to place their newly released energy on a special
paper next to it.
All children so far had a single affinity, ranging from fire, water, earth.
Rarely did someone have a lightning affinity, and none had wind, the
rarest of elements.
After waiting for dozens of minutes in line, Minato was called for his
turn. He walked up to the ninja, who did it calmly and let him put his
finger on Minato's chest to pull his chakra.
"Hm!?" Minato felt the energy overflow his body in the next moment
effortlessly.
'This is incredible, it's so warm and comforting. Is this my spiritual
energy they call chakra?!' Minato said internally, feeling all that energy.
"Hm! Kid, that's astounding. I've never seen a child pull their chakra so
effortlessly, and you have so much of it at such a young age!" The Chunin
couldn't help but comment with a lot of surprise. Minato had an amount
that could be compared to a newly graduated genin. He might not be the
child with the most chakra, as there was a Senju among them, but he
certainly shocked that ninja with this civilian orphan.
"Well, I'll fill in your data here. Try channeling the energy you just felt
onto this small paper here. They're called Chakra Conducting Sheets," he
instructed, and Minato nodded.
Taking the seemingly ordinary paper on the table, Minato internally
focused on the energy he felt before and tried to put it on the paper
between his fingers. In the next moment, the paper emitted a small blue
light and went out, undergoing some changes in the next moment.
The paper split into three aspects. One of them made a cut on one side of
the paper, another burned, and in the last part, small electric currents
appeared.
"What?! 3 elements!" The man, who was already surprised by his chakra,
was even more shocked by this. He never expected three elements from
the boy, considering most had only one element, with the exception of
some clans that had 2 elements among their members. Witnessing a
common orphan boy with three different elements left him stunned,
drawing everyone's attention around him.
"Is that true, Greg? Does the boy have an affinity for 3 elemental
affinities?" Another Chunin approached after hearing this and asked the
instructor leading that group of children at the moment.
"Yes, fire, lightning, and the rare wind are in this child. He also has
chakra reserves much higher than the other children; I would say he has
more chakra than all the children this year," he said.
"I doubt the chakra reserves will be greater than the daughter of Princess
Senju, but still, 3 elements and a higher amount of chakra are enough to
put him in class A. How were the other tests with this boy?" He asked,
and the current examiner looked at the papers in front of him and said.
"Kunai throwing is well below a satisfactory result, but he certainly hasn't
received training before, so it's not a surprise. But the physical test
already shows great potential, as he came in first without any problem or
exhaustion like the other children," he said.
Minato was getting a bit uncomfortable; they seemed to be talking about
him like a rare species at an auction. It bothered him a lot, but there
wasn't much he could do.
"Stamp your resume as a recommendation for the prodigy class. I'll talk
to the organizers later," said the man, and he walked away, not forgetting
to congratulate Minato.
Minato thanked him, despite his annoyance.
He thought the chakra paper from the test was common; if it were more
special, they could see his high affinity with the Yang element too, which
is even rarer than the wind element.
"Speaking of this element, I've never tested my fruit, and I don't even
know how to activate it yet. I should go back to the forest and start
training when things are finished here," Minato reasoned.

...
"Three chunin have come to talk to me in the last 10 minutes. Tell me,
what did you do, boy?!" Madame Gorete spoke sternly when she saw
Minato arrive with the other children in that group.
"I...to be honest, I didn't do anything..." Minato said, scratching his head,
but he was a bit calm. It was true; he just took the tests.
"Many examiners were questioning me, especially about your origins and
personality..." She said, crossing her arms.
Minato was about to respond, but he was interrupted by his classmates.
"Aunt Gorete, they said Minato has 3 elements. Is that so amazing?!" One
of the girls, who was with Minato and his group during the tests and also
part of the orphanage, asked curiously, as in the commotion between the
two examiners, they had mentioned it out loud.
"3 elements?! I'm not deeply knowledgeable about ninja ways, but 3
elements are quite rare, so it's understandable that they want to know
about you..." She said, a little stunned, but she quickly composed herself.
"Is that really so good?" One of the boys grumbled with a bit of envy in
his voice.
She looked at the children and sighed, then began to explain.
"Yes, with this, they can measure Minato's potential. Look at our Hokage;
he has an affinity for earth and fire, although I heard he can use all the
other elements as well." She said, crossing her arms and with a certain
approval in her gaze. She wanted to see all the children with a
guaranteed future, and Minato seems to be doing well in that regard.
"WHAAT?!" the children exclaimed.
"Now enough talking; let's go back. It's past lunchtime, and the results
will only come out at the end of the day. I'll come by myself and give you
the news before dinner. You are free to return to the orphanage and have
your proper meals after that." She said.
"Really? I thought we had to stay..." Minato asked curiously.
"No, this time will be used for them to classify the results and divide
them among this year's classes." She explained, and Minato understood.
All the boys returned after that.
Meanwhile, in the administration.
A group of chunin and a special jonin were approving who would go for
the 30 spots in the prodigy class, the group of children they would invest
the most in this year and the following years.
They had to review who would be classified before passing it on to the
Hokage, the village leader may not be able to take care of 1000 children,
but 30 prodigies would be meticulously passed by his eyes in this report,
so they would review all the results and pay the most satisfactory among
the top qualifiers.
They classified the grades as follows:
Bad - Considerably Worse - Average - Considerably Better - Superior/
Perfect.
"Name, result, and classification."
"Mikoto Uchiha. Kunai test: superior, physical classification: superior,
chakra affinity and chakra reserve: considerably better, fire affinity.
Classification: prodigy class."
"Okay, approved. This passes without surprise, being an Uchiha. It's the
third one we've approved in this class."
"Yes..."
"Next! Name, result, and classification."
"Shikaku Nara. Kunai test: average, physical classification: average,
chakra affinity and chakra reserve: considerably... average, affinity for
fire and earth. OBS: Very lazy but extremely intelligent. Classification:
prodigy class."
"What could we expect from a Nara? Update your data with the Yin
(Darkness) element as well, a specialty of your clan. He is approved."
"Yes."
"Next."
"Tsuna Senju. Kunai test: considerably better, physical classification:
superior, chakra affinity and chakra reserve: superior, affinity for water
and earth. Classification: prodigy class."
"Approved, there's nothing to say about the great-granddaughter of the
first Hokage."
"Yes."
"Next."
"Minato Namikaze. Kunai test: considerably worse, physical classification:
superior, chakra affinity and chakra reserve: superior, affinity for fire,
lightning, and wind. Classification: prodigy class."
"..."
"..."
"Say the name again."
"Minato Namikaze."
"Is there any clan with the name Namikaze in the village?"
"No, sir."
"Who is the boy then?"
"Sir, I classified him; he is an orphan from one of the orphanages in the
lower regions of Konoha."
"An orphan? That's very unexpected. Any other information?"
"We asked the caretaker about the boy and his history. He came to
Konoha two years ago as an orphan at the age of 4. It seems his family
was destroyed in the first war; some members survived, and it appears
this boy is the last of them."
"I see. Conduct a search on the Namikaze surname and record everything
you find for the Hokage to know about the boy. He will want all the
information on why the boy has such potential."
"Yes, sir."
"It looks like this year will be a good batch, huh?"
"Yes, if we can get someone like the third Hokage's disciples or our
current rising prodigy, Sakumo Hatake, our village will be blessed."
"True, now, next!"
...
While they were classifying the prodigy class, Minato was running
through the village at this moment. He was heading back to the same
training ground he was at yesterday; he just ate and escaped from the
orphanage and the kids with many questions since it was quite obvious
that he was classified as one of the top results among the new batch this
year.
Minato didn't want to waste time on this and went to train immediately;
he had a lot to learn still. Arriving at the location, Minato sighed and
made sure he was alone without anyone else passing by or training
nearby.
"Let's first try to release my Logia energy..." He thought, raising his hand
and attempting to make it turn into light, then squinting his eyes and
focusing on it.
10 minutes later.
"..."
"No result... I can't even feel the energy, and I can't touch myself to prove
if I'm really a Devil Fruit user. But I know my body is much more
powerful than my peers; maybe I only lose to that Senju girl..."
Minato knew that no one started strong in the world of One Piece, but
the potential was always immense for everyone in that world, only that
99% of the population didn't know how to harness it. Even so, compared
to the ninjas, especially children who couldn't use chakra to strengthen
their bodies, Minato had a significant natural advantage.
"Nothing with my Logia; maybe I should train something else..." He
thought frustrated. So, as Minato had a brilliant idea to start his
Observation Haki yesterday, he brought a blindfold, tying it around his
eyes. He planned to run to try to activate his Observation Haki while
dodging trees in the forest.
"Let's get started!" He said and began to run.
"HM!?"
*Thud*
"OUCH! That hurt!" Minato grumbled; he took five steps and hit a tree.
"I can't even have my light body to avoid damage. I'm completely
screwed here..." He grumbled.
"But it doesn't matter; let's do it here. I have many years to develop still,
and I want to start with Observation Haki, so this pain is necessary. I'll
continue until I learn!" The boy muttered to himself in the middle of the
forest while trying to ease the pain in his forehead after hitting that tree.
Minato stood up, and even with his eyes blindfolded, he still showed
determination and began to run again.
*Thud*
"Darn! That hurts too much!"

Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
The afternoon was nearing its end when a large crowd of parents invaded
the academy once again. There were at least 10 boards with the approval
of 30% of the children who took the test to enter the shinobi life.
Among these 10 boards, there was one specific board that was the main
focus, but it was largely ignored by civilians since it was for the top 30
children. This board was visited only by clan members and some ninjas
who wanted to find out how their children performed.
"Mom! Look, I'm in the main class!" A blonde girl shouted to her mother
with crossed arms.
"I see, congratulations, Tsuna."
Mother and daughter looked at the board of those approved in the
academy along with a crowd as soon as the results were released.
Tsunade's daughter was quite anxious and wanted to see the results
quickly.
In the main board, where there was the class of prodigies, many names of
children from clans appeared. The mother-daughter duo easily
recognized most of them, thanks to their last names. It was no surprise
that all kinds of clans appeared in this class, especially some listed as
heirs.
"Tsunade, you're here too!" Tsunade heard a familiar voice and turned to
its source.
"Jiraiya? What are you doing here?" Tsunade looked at her teammate
with narrowed eyes, wondering why a character like Jiraiya would
appear on the academy's result board, although she already had an idea
of why.
"I'm checking a name." He said, waving and greeting both Tsunade and
little Tsuna.
"Are you still looking for the perfect student? As you always say?" She
asked.
"That's right, I heard about someone mysterious in the prodigy class this
year..." He said excitedly.
"Someone mysterious? Who could that be?" She asked curiously.
"Let me see here... M... Here! Minato Namizake! Found the kid." Said a
young Jiraiya with the hope of fulfilling a certain prophecy. He always
looked at the new buds of the village after receiving the prophecy from
the old toad, so he had some contacts within the academy to know when
someone extraordinary would appear.
"Minato Namizake, never heard of..." This time, it was little Tsuna who
said.
"It's no surprise, little Tsuna. This boy came out of nowhere. He's from an
orphanage, but his chakra is incredibly dense, and he has 3 elemental
affinities!" Jiraiya said with some excitement, maybe he finally found the
disciple of his prophecy.
"That is truly remarkable..." Admitted Tsunade.
"Well, anyway, it was great to see you again, Tsunade. See you later, I'll
just keep an eye on the boy in the coming years and pick him up for
myself when he graduates." Jiraiya started to leave after that.
"No matter who that boy is, I will be in first place!" Said a determined
Tsuna.
"I'm sure you will, Tsuna." Said Tsunade. What these mother-daughter did
not know is that they had already met as a boy on this same day and
exchanged some words, but they had no idea that the name of that little
rascal is the same as the one who performed excellently, even catching
Jiraiya's interest.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the village, a limping boy walked toward
the center of the village from the training area to return to the
orphanage.
"Hey, look at that boy!"
"For the deceased Hokages, did someone attack this child?"
"Who does something like this? Where are the Uchiha police?!"
In front of them, Minato walked through the village looking very
disheveled and injured.
"Damn, this got way out of hand! I must have dislocated some bones and
lost a baby tooth..." Minato was frustrated. His first training with
Observation Haki was a disaster; he couldn't do anything but bump his
head into every obstacle or stumble over low objects.
His clothes were in tatters, his face battered, especially the forehead with
some dried blood, his arm seemed to hang on his shoulder, the boy
literally looked like he had gone through a violent beating.
Minato wouldn't be late for curfew like yesterday, but Madame Gorete
would certainly scold him for his current state.
The boy limped, ignoring all the stares he was getting, and continued
walking to the orphanage without caring if someone asked what
happened to him.
"Tell me, who did this to you?!" Madame shouted at him as soon as he
arrived and saw his current condition.
"I'm fine, it was just training," he said.
"Training? You call this training, or you don't want to tell me who beat
you up?" She said sternly.
"It was training. I tried running through the forest blindfolded; this was
the result," he said simply.
"Why did you train like that... Anyway, sometimes I don't understand
you, kid! Anyway, I must congratulate you. I went to the academy again
and saw that you entered the main class this year. Keep working hard,
kid. Now clean up, and let's put some ointment on those wounds." She
said with a tone between pride and severity.
"That's great! Hahaha, thank you!" Minato smiled with some missing
teeth and entered the orphanage.
"Anyway, make a bright future," she said.
"You got it!" Minato said and went to his room to get clothes for a shower
and change out of the worn-out clothes.
The children questioned him all night, but Minato simply replied that he
didn't know most of the things they asked about his performance on
today's test.
And he really didn't know; the only things that had an influence were the
supposed Devil Fruit and his body, but chakra and affinity were natural
from the original.
The next day, he woke up excited. Finally, he would go to the academy
with three other children who passed the test; some didn't make it,
remaining stuck in civilian life. But it wasn't like their lives ceased to
exist there; they would have some classes in the coming years without
becoming a shinobi.
After breakfast, Minato left with them and their papers to be presented to
the academy.
When they arrived, they separated as instructed to their respective
classes. Minato went to Class A, the main class of that year.
"Who are you?" A Chunin was in front of the door, taking the papers and
preventing any child from entering the wrong room.
"Minato Namikaze, here, these papers indicate this room." The blonde
handed the paper to the adult.
"Let me see... Hmmm... You're correct. Well, you can enter. Welcome to
Class A. Go in and find a seat; I'll introduce myself as your teacher once
everyone is inside." He said, and Minato nodded.
He then entered for the first time. The place was almost full, but he could
already see many people he knew from the future of the work here.
7. Chapter 7
[Chapter Size: 1527 Words.]
Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
Minato entered the classroom calmly.
The place was almost entirely filled, as the children seemed quite excited
about their first day at the ninja academy.
The room resembled the one from the anime with not much difference:
three rows with four tables arranged diagonally, with the back row
higher and descending to the teacher's floor. Each row accommodated 12
students, with 3 students at each table, making a total of 36 spaces for
the children to sit.
Initially, Minato didn't know anyone, as everyone was a child for him to
try to recognize someone, while the other part seemed to be getting along
quite easily. They already knew each other, as all the clans had bonds
with each other. Many children knew each other before entering the
academy, thanks to meetings and parties organized by their parents.
Some seemed lazy but chatted, others were arrogant, nodding as they
listened to their classmates.
Some looked at Minato with curiosity, trying to figure out if they knew
him, but seeing that Minato didn't wear sophisticated clothes like the
others, it was obvious that he didn't belong to Konoha's clans, earning
him disdainful glances from many.
But the boy didn't care about that; he didn't care about being approved
by others as their future child. So, he calmly walked to one of the
emptier tables at the back and intended to sit there.
He didn't even notice a little girl looking at him like a hawk at this time
from the first rows.
She quickly got up and followed Minato from behind.
"Tsuna? Why is she going after that stranger?" Someone asked.
"Do you know who he is? I don't know him."
"That's no surprise; look at his clothes, he's a civilian and a poor one at
that..." Someone said disdainfully.
"So why is Princess Senju following him..."
"Who knows, maybe he'll get a beating; I heard her mom used to beat all
the boys back in school..."
"Hahaha. I feel sorry for the newbie then."
Minato sat calmly before feeling a shadow over him, quickly realizing it
was Tsunade's daughter, looking at him with crossed arms and a small
smile without taking her eyes off him.
"Hm? You? Can I help you?" Minato said a bit cautiously, seeing that the
other part was right behind him without him noticing.
"Yes, you're the boy from yesterday! I said we'd see each other again!"
She seemed excited, but Minato had a cautious and nervous look about it.
'I don't want to get involved with a character like her, definitely not!'
Minato protested internally.
"About yesterday, it was a misunderstanding..." He said with an
apologetic tone.
"I see, but I'll sit here; maybe we can be friends!" She said excitedly, but
for Minato, she somehow wanted to beat him up for yesterday, and he
knew this little girl was a kind of vengeful girl.
'Okay, let's act normally; she'll leave at some point.' Minato adjusted his
seat, looking ahead, making Tsuna look at him with a twisted look.
"You should at least introduce yourself!" She protested because the boy is
ignoring her at the moment, and many are watching the interaction
between the two.
"Ah yes, my n..." He was going to say out of politeness, but he was
interrupted by the teacher's voice.
"Children, everyone has finally arrived; it's time to start our introductions
and begin the lesson right away." The teacher announced as the last
students passed by him.
A Uchiha girl, being one of the last students, went to the last vacant spot,
where Minato and Tsuna were sitting at the moment. Tsuna had to sit
urgently next to Minato since her old place in the front rows was filled by
another child, while Mikoto sat stoically on the other side.
'Wow, a Senju and an Uchiha on each of my sides? This is surprisingly
bizarre...' Minato couldn't help but think about this situation in a rather
strange way.
"Now that everyone is in their seats, let's begin with our introduction."
"My name is Maki Fuuma; I enjoy reading in my free time and spending
time with my family. I dislike people who don't endure with their full
potential. I am a Chuunin specialized in ninjutsu, and my big goal is to
make you shine in the coming years. I will be your teacher this year, and
if all goes well, in the following years as well. All of you here today were
chosen to be in the best class this year, and Konoha expects good results
from you, as do I. I will try to guide you in the best way possible." He
concluded and continued speaking when he saw everyone paying
attention to him.
"Now, onto your introductions. I want your name, likes and dislikes,
finishing with your dreams or goals right after." He said, and the first
children at the front began to introduce themselves.
Minato didn't know any of them, so the introductions reached the middle
of the class, making Minato raise his eyebrow at the first one to introduce
themselves there.
"Shikaku Nara; I like to rest and sleep and don't like being awake or
having too much work. I don't have much ambition; I want to have a wife
with one or two children and live an average life." He said, yawning.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
' Shikamaru's father is quite a character in his youth; at least he will be
quite competent in the future...' Minato couldn't help but think.
"Well... that's kind of surprising, I guess... next!" The teacher replied, a bit
taken aback by the sleepy child's honesty.
Next to him, a blond boy introduced himself.
"Inoichi Yamanaka; I like to learn, and I don't like doing nothing. My goal
is to master my clan's techniques and make its name great in the future!"
"Very good, next!"
"Chōza Akimichi; I like to eat barbecue and don't like going hungry. My
goal is to open a great barbecue place so I won't go hungry!" He
announced.
'The Ino-Shika-Cho trio from the future is in this room... that's surprising.'
Minato thought.
"Another odd one... Next!"
"My name is Ibiki Morino; I like instant food, and I don't like being bored.
My goal is to become a competent Jonin!" The boy spoke, and Minato
looked at him, also surprised.
'This is Ibiki; how does he have so much hair! And to think he will
become a torturer in the future.' Minato thought.
"Next."
"Hiashi Hyuuga; I like to follow rules and control situations. I dislike
rebellious and weak people. My goal is to lead my clan one day!" He
spoke proudly.
"Next."
"Hizashi Hyūga; I like and dislike the same things as my brother. My goal
is to serve my clan in the best way possible." He said, and Minato was
surprised to find these brothers here.
"I'm Gurin Uchiha; I like to become strong and dislike weak people. My
goal is to make the Uchiha name proud," he said with a huffing tone.
"Yes, next."
"I'm Akame Uchiha; I like my fire-style jutsus and dislike being weak. My
goal is to bring pride to my family!" He had a neutral expression like the
last.
"Fire-style jutsus? That's surprising for a child, next."
'These Uchihas are really proud...' Minato couldn't help but murmur as he
looked at the presentation of the two Uchihas in the class; this was the
clan with the most members here, with a total of 4 members.
The children continued with the presentations and finally reached
Minato's table, starting with Tsuna next to Minato.
"My name is Tsuna Senju! I like the time I spend with my family and
dislike lazy people. My goal is to be a powerful Kunoichi like my mother
and even surpass her in the future!" She said proudly.
"Very well, Princess Senju, next."
"My name is Mikoto Uchiha; I like being strong and dislike people taking
care of my life. My goal is to become a powerful Kunoichi so that I have
control over my own life."
"Great, a worthy goal. Next."
"My name is Minato Namikaze; I like to train and become strong, dislike
wasting time, and arrogant people. My goal is to be the strongest ninja in
the village and become Hokage!" He announced.
"Hahahahahhaha!" Some laughed at the civilian's goal, as no one believed
in Minato.
The two girls looked at him with mixed feelings. Mikoto glanced at
Minato, who didn't seem bothered by the mocking attention and
appeared firm in his goals, while Tsuna didn't care about his dreams, but
his name came to mind in yesterday's conversation with Uncle Jiraiya.
"Are you Minato Kamikaze?!" Tsuna shouted beside him when she
realized.
"Yes...?" Minato seemed cautious.
"Children and Tsuna, don't disrupt the class!" The teacher immediately
warned.
"Yes, yes!" The children stopped laughing, and Tsuna said a little
embarrassed and fell silent while looking at Minato strangely.
"Anyway, I expect great things from all of you; now let's continue with
the lesson."

Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
As the class proceeded, Minato tried to concentrate on the lessons,
ignoring the glances and whispers of his classmates around him. He knew
it would be difficult to be accepted as a civilian among so many aspiring
ninjas from renowned clans, but he was determined to ignore this initial
reaction and prove his own worth over time, as he is the protagonist of
this story.
"Let's start our lesson with the history of Konoha and the will of fire
passed on by the first Hokage!" Professor Fuuma began.
Minato had to look up, while most of the children seemed excited about
this, he knew this was the beginning of the brainwashing they did to
children, yet Minato put on a neutral face and began to listen to the
professor start to tell the Hokage-chosen version of Konoha's creation.
"This isn't right..." Minato heard a voice beside him and found Mikoto
Uchiha murmuring as she listened to the professor.
"Well, at least they didn't remove the Uchiha clan from the founding
clans..." Minato commented, and Mikoto looked at him in surprise.
"Do you know the real history of the founding of Konoha?" She raised an
eyebrow at Minato.
"It's not like I was really there, but I know a lot of the history, for
example, Uchiha Madara was the one who named Konoha in a room with
Mito Uzumaki, Hashirama Senju, and Tobirama Senju." Minato whispered
to her.
"Really?" She asked in surprise and looked at Minato with some
astonishment still.
"Yes, the creation of Konoha was mainly a union between the Senju and
Uchiha clans, not like the professor is saying over there, he's including
other clans like Sarutobi just to invent some privilege with the Hokage.
And this stuff about the third Hokage being the strongest is nonsense,
even Tobirama can beat him easily." Minato whispered.
Mikoto began to laugh softly at this.
"Hey, can you stop gossiping during class? Pay attention!" Next to
Minato, Tsuna seemed dissatisfied hearing the whispers of Minato and
the other Uchiha girl.
"TSUNA, don't disrupt the class!" The teacher shouted with Tsuna's little
outburst.
"Sorry..." She had to admit and turned her face to Minato.
"See what you did?!" She said dissatisfied.
"I didn't cause you to yell beside me, you have to be discreet. You'll be a
ninja, remember that..." Minato spoke, scratching his head.
But Tsuna had veins on her forehead, thinking she would hit this blue-
eyed boy at the first opportunity.
"Now that we've talked about the will of fire, let's move on to our first
practical lesson, I want to know how many of you have not released
chakra before coming to take the test." The teacher asked, and only
Minato raised his hand, since he was the only one who hadn't trained his
chakra for not being in any clan.
This earned some laughs and mockery from his classmates, but Minato
didn't care, he wouldn't lie about it.
As the laughter and mockery continued, Professor Fuuma looked directly
at Minato, his eyes sharp, but not devoid of a certain understanding.
"Well, you shouldn't laugh at your classmate, although he is a civilian, he
has more chakra for his age than most of you, only losing to Tsuna Senju
in this class." This immediately silenced all his classmates. The teacher
turned his attention to Minato. "Minato, it's important to be honest about
your abilities. That's the first step to overcoming them." He said with a
tone of approval, and Minato nodded.
The teacher then turned to the rest of the class again, changing the
subject. "Today, we'll do chakra concentration exercises. I'll form pairs,
and each of you will try to keep a leaf on your forehead using only
chakra. This will not only help with chakra control but also concentration
and focus."
A buzz of excitement passed through the room as the children prepared
for the challenge. The teacher began calling names, forming pairs. Minato
was paired with Tsuna, the girl who had been annoyed with him earlier.
She looked at him with a frustrated expression, but there was a spark of
determination in her eyes.
"Don't think I'll go easy just because you're a civilian," she whispered to
him.
Minato just smiled, his calm and confident expression contrasting with
Tsuna's fierce determination. "I wouldn't expect any less from a ninja in
training," he said, acknowledging her strength and seriousness.
Sitting opposite each other, the air was charged with focused tension. A
thin leaf rested on each of their foreheads, fluttering gently with every
movement. Professor Fuuma, with a serene and authoritative voice,
instructed: "Focus on your chakra. Imagine it as a stream of energy
flowing from the center of your being to your forehead, holding the leaf
in place."
Minato closed his eyes, trying to follow the instructions. Internally, he
sought the calm and focus needed, but the chakra within him seemed like
a wild animal, restless and untamable. The leaf, like a boat on a stormy
sea, repeatedly fell from his forehead. He could feel the frustration
bubbling within him, but refused to let it show.
On the other side, Tsuna, with her eyes firmly closed, displayed intense
concentration. She seemed naturally more skilled, yet still, the leaf on her
forehead danced dangerously. Noting Minato's struggle, she murmured,
surprisingly offering guidance: "You need to relax more, Minato. Don't
force the chakra, guide it as if you were conducting a gentle melody."
Grateful for the unexpected advice, Minato nodded slightly. He took a
deep breath, trying to dissipate the tension in his muscles and mind.
Visualizing his chakra as a calm river, he tried again. This time, when he
opened his eyes, the leaf trembled but remained in place, sustained by a
more stable and controlled flow of chakra.
Around, the room was divided between those who laughed with each
fallen leaf and those who, like Mikoto, held the leaf firmly in place,
demonstrating the skill of future ninjas. She cast an approving glance at
Minato, acknowledging his progress.
"Great work," Professor Fuuma praised, walking among the pairs. "Chakra
control is fundamental for a ninja. Today is just the beginning. With
practice and patience, you will become masters of it, and it will reflect in
your skills."
Tsuna, with an eyebrow raised, asked Minato: "You're good, haven't you
done this exercise before?"
Minato shook his head, a humble smile on his lips. "No, I've never
released my chakra before coming here to take the tests. It's the first time
I'm trying, but it's still very difficult..." He admitted, his voice carrying a
mix of frustration and determination.
They continued, each attempt bringing them closer to mastery, one step
at a time on their journey to become capable and controlled ninjas.
As he focused intensely on his chakra exercise, Minato noticed a shadow
approaching. Looking up, he saw Mikoto Uchiha walking toward him,
her expression serious but her eyes curious. She had a natural elegance
and a presence that didn't go unnoticed, even among the other talented
children. What set her apart was the depth in her gaze — she observed
the world around her with an intensity that suggested an understanding
beyond her age.
"You are brave, Minato Namikaze. Most here don't believe in you, but I
like people who have bold ambitions," Mikoto said, her voice calm and
somewhat respectful, breaking the barrier of silence that had formed
around them. Her recognition was not just words; there was a genuine
weight behind them, as if she truly saw potential in the civilian boy
before her.
Tsuna, in turn, did not take well to Mikoto's approach. "What do you
want, Uchiha?" she asked, crossing her arms defensively. Her posture
displayed a mix of irritation and challenge, a clear demonstration of her
Senju pride.
"I'm talking to the boy, Senju," Mikoto responded without hesitation,
facing Tsuna's challenging gaze with an unflappable calm.
"He's my partner. Go take care of your own," Tsuna retorted, the rivalry
between the Senju and Uchiha clans transpiring even in this childish
interaction.
"He's my first friend, so it's okay to talk to him!" Mikoto replied, sitting
down next to Minato with a naturalness that indicated she was not easily
intimidated.
Minato, sitting between the two, felt as if he were in the eye of a small
hurricane. He knew the stories and rivalries between the Uchihas and the
Senjus, legends and realities that intertwined in the foundation of
Konoha. But seeing these tensions manifest in his classmates was a
completely new experience. It was intriguing, confusing, and a bit
intimidating.
The civilian boy looked from Tsuna to Mikoto, trying to understand the
complicated dynamics unfolding before him. He knew that each of them,
in their own way, was strong, determined, and carried the weight of their
respective clans on their shoulders. And now, here they were, interacting
with him, a boy without a clan, without the same legacy, but with
dreams as big as theirs.

Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
The discussion between Tsuna and Mikoto had quickly escalated, both
with inflamed pride and looks that cast sparks at each other. Minato,
sitting between them, felt like a boat adrift between two colliding storms.
Their voices rose, each word sharp as a kunai, until the attention of the
entire room was turned to the trio.
It was the voice of Professor Fuuma, strong and unmistakable, that broke
the tension. "Girls, can you stop this! Respect the class!" He shouted, the
veins in his forehead pulsing with the frustration of an educator trying to
maintain order. Tsuna and Mikoto immediately fell silent, but still glared
at each other, the challenge clear in their eyes.
Minato, feeling the weight of the silence that followed, tried to intervene.
"Can you both calm down a bit, you're still drawing attention!" he
whispered, trying to appease the situation. However, his attempt was met
with a simultaneous and severe "Shut up" from both girls, leaving him
stunned and a little more cautious about intervening in future disputes.
As the teacher resumed the class, discussing details about chakra control
techniques, Minato sank into his own thoughts. 'My chakra control is still
horrible, and I'm at a disadvantage compared to the other students who
have been training even before the academy,' he reflected, recalling the
teacher's words about his surprising amount of chakra. 'But I'm surprised
I have more chakra than everyone here, except Tsuna... that's an
advantage, but I hope not to have the same control difficulties as my
future son.'
His mind, always working and planning, began to trace a path to follow.
'I have to train chakra control, observation haki, and my pika pika no
mi... it's so much for me when I'm only 6 years old...' The magnitude of
his goals and the skills he needed to master seemed overwhelming, but
Minato's determination did not waver, and he would master these
techniques in due time.
He thought further ahead, beyond the academy and to the larger events
he knew were to come. 'It's good to be prepared before the second ninja
war breaks out. I might even save the Uzumaki, which should happen
before the third ninja war... they will be valuable allies...' He pondered
the future, knowing that many of his plans would take years to
materialize. But time was a resource he was willing to invest in intense
training.
"Anyway, I still have plenty of time to prepare, so I'll focus on the now
and leave the future for later..." Minato murmured to himself, trying to
reorient himself after the torrent of thoughts and concerns about the
future.
"What are you mumbling there, Minato?" Tsuna asked, leaning closer
with a curious expression. Beside him, Mikoto also looked at him, her
sharp eyes indicating a similar interest. Minato sighed internally, 'Damn...
forgot I'm between these two. My years in the academy can't be as quiet
as I imagined before Kushina's arrival with these two by my side...' he
lamented silently.
"It's nothing, Tsuna, I'm just thinking out loud..." He tried to deflect,
hoping the conversation wouldn't deviate into another clash between the
two.
"I see... just pay attention in class. We've been drawing a lot of attention
from the teacher lately. I don't want to draw any more attention from
him..." Tsuna grumbled, clearly worried about the image they were
projecting to the teacher and the rest of the class.
Mikoto, however, didn't miss the opportunity to snipe. "Tsk. The teacher
calls you out because you're scandalous! The secret is not to get caught..."
she said, her tone laden with typical Uchiha arrogance.
"What did you say, Uchiha?!" Tsuna retorted, her voice increasing in
volume and irritation.
Minato rolled his eyes, foreseeing the start of another heated argument.
"I'm saying you're too scandalous for a ninja," Mikoto replied, keeping her
voice expressionless, but her words were like fuel to the fire.
"I'll show you that with my fists!" Tsuna growled, clearly provoked
beyond her limit.
"Come at me, Senju. I'll show you the power of the Sharingan!" Mikoto
challenged, even though her own Sharingan wasn't activated yet.
"You haven't even unlocked your Sharingan yet, girl!" Tsuna retorted,
mocking Mikoto's threat.
BANG!
The entire room trembled with the sound of a book slamming on
Professor Fuuma's desk. The noise echoed like thunder, immediately
capturing everyone's attention. Minato, Tsuna, and Mikoto, together in
the last row, turned abruptly to face the source of the sound. The
professor was staring at them with eyes sparkling with frustration.
"You two, stop arguing again! You are disturbing the class. I swear next
time I will put you both in detention!" Fuuma spoke, his tone serious and
impatient cutting through the air like a blade. The threat was clear, and
for a moment, a heavy silence fell over the room.
The other students, witnesses to this confrontation, looked toward the
corner of the room with a variety of expressions. Some glances were
tinged with envy, not just for the attention Minato received from Tsuna
and Mikoto but also for the beauty and promise the two kunoichis
exhibited. Other students whispered among themselves, questioning how
Minato, a mere civilian, managed to stand firm and even mediate
between two such dominant forces from such renowned clans.
"Why are they always together now?" a boy whispered, unable to divert
his gaze from the intriguing trio.
"He must be trying to use their connection to climb up the ranks,"
another boy speculated, his voice laden with poorly disguised jealousy.
For Minato, Tsuna, and Mikoto, however, these murmurs were little more
than distant background noise. They were far more concerned with the
immediate consequences of their actions.
"Can you stop arguing all the time? It's the first day of class!" Minato
finally said, his voice firm and somewhat exasperated. He knew he
needed to intervene before things escalated further.
"Hm." Tsuna turned her face away, clearly annoyed, but recognizing the
seriousness of the situation.
"Tsk." Mikoto, equally frustrated, looked the other way, the tension still
evident in her expression.
Minato could only sigh, feeling the weight of the day on his shoulders.
He wished the class would end soon so he could escape from that
battlefield.
As the class proceeded, a tense silence prevailed in the last row where
Minato, Tsuna, and Mikoto were seated. The two girls, having been
reprimanded by Professor Fuuma, kept quiet, but the atmosphere around
them was still charged. However, Minato felt the weight of the looks
directed at him, an uncomfortable sensation he couldn't ignore.
'Great, I'm drawing attention thanks to these girls...' Minato grumbled to
himself, feeling a mix of irritation and concern. He noticed different types
of looks coming from his classmates. Some, like Shikaku Nara, looked at
him with an expression that mixed pity and a desire for distance, as if
proximity to the troublesome trio was a kind of contagion they wanted to
avoid.
Members of the Uchiha clan, on the other hand, cast looks laden with
resentment and anger. Minato couldn't say for sure if their anger came
from seeing him close to the chief's daughter or if it was because he, a
civilian, had somehow surpassed or offended their pride. Either way, he
knew these looks were not good.
The class dragged on, with Professor Fuuma continuing to lecture on the
fundamentals of the village and chakra. Minato tried to focus on the
class, but the sensation of stares upon him was a constant distraction.
Tsuna was eyeing him, her gaze firm and resolved. He knew what that
meant. She wanted to "talk to him" after the incident on the test day.
As soon as the bell rang, signaling the end of the class, Minato, already
anticipating Tsuna's imminent approach, acted quickly. With agility that
surprised even some of the more experienced ninjas, he grabbed his
things and leaped off the counter in a single fluid motion. "Wait, Minato!"
Tsuna called, but he had no intention of stopping. His only focus was to
get away from the "blonde maniac" and the uncomfortable situation he
knew was approaching.
With agile movements, he weaved through the other students, passing by
them as if he were running on a well-practiced track. Upon reaching the
corridor, he found himself surrounded by students from all classes, a sea
of faces. But that didn't stop him; he used it to his advantage, quickly
blending into the crowd and disappearing from sight. "Damn! He
vanished!" Tsuna murmured frustratedly, sweeping the corridor with her
gaze, but Minato was already far away, indistinguishable among the
other students.
Beside her, Mikoto appeared, a mocking smile on her lips. "Seems like
even men run away from you..." she teased, enjoying the growing
irritation of Tsuna. "Who's running from me! What do you think you're
saying?" Tsuna retorted, veins popping on her forehead, her patience
clearly running thin. "I'm saying you'll never find a man that way since
they're already running from you!" Mikoto continued, her taunting sharp
and direct.
"You talk as if you're better than me, blood-eye. No one wants a woman
like you!" Tsuna returned, her words laden with anger and challenge. The
exchange between them was like a verbal battle, each word a strike
aimed to wound.
Meanwhile, far from the tension and irritated glances, Minato ran
through the streets of Konoha, his breathing rhythmic and focused. He
knew he had narrowly escaped and that the break would be brief. "It's
time to train again!" he said to himself, his voice full of determination.
He skipped going to lunch at the orphanage to train, not wanting to
waste any time.

[Chapter Size: 1500 Words.]
Third Person POV
Training Camp, Konoha, Year 32.
...
Minato finally arrived at the location he had chosen for his training in
recent days, an isolated and quiet area, perfect for concentration and the
development of his skills without anyone interfering, at least he didn't
even notice an Anbu in the area. With a wooden kunai in hand, he
headed to the nearby river. This kunai, despite not being made of metal,
was an instrument he had been practicing throws and maneuvers with,
and its tip was still sharp enough to be effective in fishing.
Arriving at the river, Minato assumed a focused and balanced posture. He
patiently observed the water, looking for signs of movement. After
several frustrated attempts, adjusting his technique with each mistake, he
finally managed to catch a fish manually. It was a moment of modest
triumph, but significant, demonstrating his growing skill and patience
with the blade.
With the fish in hand, Minato quickly prepared a small fire on the bank.
He cleaned and roasted the fish with his experience from a past life,
creating a simple but nutritious lunch. While eating, his thoughts were
focused on the training ahead. 'I have the rest of the afternoon to train.
I'll try to develop my Haki and my ability with the fruit,' he thought,
referring to his ambitious goal of mastering skills that would make him
formidable for the future.
Finishing his lunch, Minato prepared for the next phase of his training.
He placed a leaf on his forehead, a traditional chakra control training
method that required him to keep the leaf attached to his forehead using
only his chakra. To increase the difficulty and effectiveness of the
training, he blindfolded himself. This would not only force him to rely on
his other senses but was also preparation for his Observation Haki
training.
With his eyes blindfolded, Minato began to move through the forest,
trying to dodge trees and natural obstacles as on the previous day. He
knew this would be a challenging task, requiring full focus and deep
attunement with his environment. At the same time, he tried to manifest
his body of light, an ability of his fruit that, if mastered, would allow him
to avoid damage and move at incredible speeds. It was a challenging and
exhausting 3-in-1 training, but Minato was determined.
With every step Minato took, every collision with the trees and natural
obstacles of the forest, he absorbed a lesson. The sounds of the forest
became a sonic map, each bird singing, each branch cracking under his
feet, provided information about his surroundings. The smell of damp
earth, the aroma of leaves and wood, all filled his senses, keeping him
grounded in the present moment. The wind caressed his skin, a gentle
caress that brought with it the direction and speed of potential obstacles.
He used these natural clues to orient himself in his blind run.
"OUCH!" He couldn't help but groan as he hit his forehead on a tree, but
he quickly got up and continued his training.
Once again he hit another tree, his leaf was placed back on his forehead,
even without hitting, he could still feel the leaf struggling to remain on
the skin. Each time the leaf threatened to fall, he adjusted his focus,
channeling a precise amount of chakra to keep it attached. It was a
delicate balance between keeping divided attention and yet being fully
focused on each aspect of his training.
Above all, Minato sought that deep and intuitive feeling, the premonition
that preceded danger, the key to his Observation Haki. He knew that this
ability was more than just a heightened sense; it was an almost
supernatural perception of the world around him. Each time he hit a tree
or stumbled, he came a little closer to activating this latent ability,
learning to feel the world in a way his blindfolded eyes could not see,
even if it was a skill that would take up to a year to awaken, he would
still continue.
This intensive training was not just physical; it was a test of his will,
patience, and perseverance. Each bruise, each scratch, were marks of his
progress, symbols of his unwavering determination. He knew that the
path to becoming the ninja he aspired to be was fraught with challenges,
but each step, each fall, each success, brought him closer to his goal.
After three hours immersed in this rigorous regime, his body was covered
in bruises and scratches. Recognizing the need to shift focus, Minato
decided to continue his training with kunais. Despite the fatigue, he knew
he needed to hone his throwing skills and precision. Picking up his
wooden kunais, he began to practice his throws, aiming at specific targets
he had marked on the trees. With each throw, he adjusted his aim, his
strength, and his chakra control, refining his technique with each kunai
he threw.
As the sun began to set, casting long shadows through the forest, Minato
continued, tireless in his quest to achieve the extraordinary and refine his
skills.
Minato returned to the orphanage in the late afternoon, walking through
the village streets in a visibly worn state, similar to the last time he had
undergone similar training. His clothes were dirty and crumpled, and
small cuts and bruises adorned his skin like the last time. Despite this,
there was a glow of determination in his eyes, a clear sign that he did not
regret the effort expended, as he walked through the streets of Konoha
and people wondered if the boy had been attacked again.
Madame Gorete, the person in charge of the orphanage, was waiting for
him as expected, as if she already knew about Minato's training
escapades. With her arms crossed and a reproachful but concerned look,
she watched him approach. "So you were training again? I hope you've
eaten," she said, her tone was stern, but there was a hint of affection in
her words.
"I was training, yes, I need to get stronger," Minato replied, his voice
carrying a tone of apology. He knew that Madame Gorete was concerned
about his health and well-being, but he also understood that his training
was essential for his future goals.
"As long as you are well-fed, it's fine. It looks like tomorrow you will start
full-time classes, so I doubt you can do these trainings again," she
commented, a gentle reminder that Minato's life would soon become
more complicated with the increase in school responsibilities.
Minato nodded. He knew that his days of free training were about to
become rarer, and he would need to adjust his routine to balance school
and personal development.
Ignoring the other boys who were excitedly talking about their own
training and the first day of school, Minato headed directly to his space.
He was physically and mentally exhausted, and he knew that the only
thing that could really help him now was a good rest.
Lying in his modest bed, Minato closed his eyes. The next day, with the
sun still shy in the sky, Minato walked towards the academy for another
day of classes. Upon arriving at the entrance, he met Tsuna, waiting for
him with her arms crossed and an expression that left no doubt she had
something to say.
"Hello, Tsuna..." Minato greeted, trying to keep the tone light.
"Did you run away from me yesterday?" She interrogated him, an
eyebrow arched in suspicion.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I just went to train," he replied,
maintaining a small smile, trying to steer away from the subject.
"Minato, if I find out you're running away from me, I'll catch you! I won't
allow that girl to mock me if boys are running away from me..." Tsuna
said, frustration coloring her words, and the pout on her face revealed
more than she would have liked.
"What did you say?" Minato raised an eyebrow, surprised by her
admission without understanding what she meant by that.
"It's nothing! Now let's go to class, we can't be late, can we?" She quickly
changed the subject, grabbing him by the arm resolutely.
"Wait, I know how to go to class by myself..." He protested, but received
only an intense look from the girl, who clearly was not willing to let him
escape again. With little room to argue, he let himself be led by her to
the classroom.
As they walked, Minato couldn't help but think about the dynamic
unfolding. 'This year is going to be quite intense...' he murmured to
himself, half resigned, half amused by the situation. The blonde Senju by
his side was a force to be reckoned with, and he knew that his
interactions with her and the other students would bring challenges and,
possibly, unexpected opportunities. The path ahead was uncertain, but
Minato was ready to face whatever came, inside and outside the
classroom.

[Chapter Size: 1500 Words.]
Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
Sitting at the back of the room, Minato found himself once again in the
company of Tsuna and Mikoto. The atmosphere among the trio was
mixed, alternating between conversations and a subtle rivalry between
the two girls, while Minato wished to be anywhere but in the middle of
these two troublemakers, as he classified them. Suddenly, Mikoto broke
the silence with a sharp observation.
"I noticed he didn't run away from you this time... Did you threaten
him?" She inquired, casting a perceptive glance toward Tsuna.
"He never ran away from me! My mother said that's just how boys are,"
Tsuna quickly responded, crossing her arms defensively, a hint of pride
tinting her words.
"What kind of talk is this, you're only 6 years old, you should be talking
about dolls, not these more adult things..." Minato murmured, a bit
exasperated with the direction the conversation was taking. He was more
comfortable discussing techniques and training than navigating the
complexities of his female peers' interactions with the opposite sex.
"Spoken like the 6-year-old boy who's learning to be an assassin..."
Mikoto retorted with a sarcastic look toward Minato.
"I guess that's fair..." He admitted, recognizing the irony of the situation.
"You're hurt, your hands are also quite worn, this means you weren't in a
fight, but in training..." Mikoto continued speaking after Minato's remark,
her analytical eyes observing the signs of wear on Minato.
"It's true I was training. I want to improve my control and my skills with
kunais, so I'm training after school," Minato openly admitted, seeing no
reason to hide his efforts and dedication.
"What kind of training is it that you come all bruised..." Tsuna
questioned, a tone of concern mixed with mockery in her voice.
"I don't have a large clan behind me. I have to make do with what I have;
I train in the public fields..." Minato confessed. He didn't have the luxury
of resources or private training that many of his classmates had, but that
didn't diminish his determination.
"I see... It must be good, since there's no one watching you all the time
and criticizing every mistake..." Mikoto commented, a glimpse of envy in
her voice. She never liked the constant pressure and high expectations
her father and the Uchiha clan placed on her, especially regarding
training. It was a weight she carried every day, and the idea of training
freely, away from judgmental eyes, seemed appealing to her.
"But having some guidance is good..." Minato pondered aloud,
recognizing the advantages of having a mentor or someone experienced
to guide and correct mistakes. While he valued his independence, he
knew that proper guidance could speed up his progress and help him
avoid common pitfalls on the path of a ninja.
"Minato, do you train chakra control and kunais?" Tsuna asked, curious
about the details of Minato's training.
"Yes, but I use wooden kunais. I need to earn some money to buy better
equipment. I have a plan to have an income, but I want to learn
Fuuinjutsu... Maybe I can make some money in the future if I can get a
master to create some seals," Minato commented quietly, sharing his
goals and the limitations he faced due to a lack of resources.
"Fuuinjutsu... so boring..." Mikoto grimaced, expressing her personal
opinion on that particular area. She preferred more direct and impactful
methods of combat.
"I have to admit that it's kind of boring, but my mother is forcing me to
learn some seals, especially the one she uses as her main weapon..."
Tsuna shared, a bit of resentment in her voice.
"I envy you, Tsuna. You can have contact with Mito-sama. What I
wouldn't give to become her apprentice..." Minato expressed his deep
desire to learn from the best, especially in the field of Fuuinjutsu. Mito
Uzumaki was known for her proficiency in that area, but Minato knew
that accessing her as a master was beyond his current possibilities.
"Yes, great-grandmother is the best, there's no one more powerful in the
world than her, even among the Uzumakis in Uzu!" Tsuna spoke with
pride, her eyes shining as she spoke of her famous great-grandmother.
"I imagine..." Minato lay back in his arms while murmuring.
"If you want, I can talk to great-grandmother, she always listens to me!"
Tsuna continued, the pride in her voice clearly evident. Her offer was
sincere and reflected the closeness and respect she had for the powerful
matriarch of her family.
"I would appreciate it..." Minato replied quietly, his voice tinged with a
mix of hope and skepticism. He knew that despite Tsuna's generous offer,
the chances of being accepted as an apprentice to Mito Uzumaki were
slim. He had a feeling that fate would lead him to learn from Mito
through Kushina, not directly through Tsuna.
As they talked, the class was suddenly interrupted by the teacher, who
brought up a new fascinating topic for the rest. "Did you know that you
can master all the elements of chakra?" he asked, immediately capturing
everyone's attention, which left aside the conversation with the girls to
focus on the class.
"Really, can we learn all 5 elements?" a student asked, clearly excited by
the possibility.
"It's true, but it requires dedication. The Hokage-Sama is a man who
mastered all of them, that's why he is considered the greatest Hokage!"
the teacher explained with pride in his voice.
"Greatest Hokage... He wouldn't last 5 minutes with Hashirama in his
prime..." Minato murmured to himself, unable to resist mocking the
statement. In his opinion, the Third Hokage was far from being the most
powerful, especially when compared to the legendary figure of
Hashirama Senju.
"Anyway, we're going to have a lunch break. This afternoon we're going
to the training track to do some exercises, so get ready for the workout."
the teacher announced, to the delight of many children in the room who
were eager for a change of activity at last.
Minato picked up the food container that Madame Gorete had prepared
for him and headed to a quiet spot under a tree. As he ate his lunch, his
thoughts wandered about what he had learned and the possibilities the
future might bring. Meanwhile, 3 shadows dimmed the sun in front of
Minato.
"Hey, are you Minato Namikaze? The civilian who hangs out with Tsuna
Senju and Mikoto Uchiha?" Said a slightly older boy with a disdainful air
as he approached Minato. His posture was challenging, and he looked at
Minato as if expecting the mere fact of being a year older to give him
some authority.
"That's my name. What can I do for you, brat?" Minato responded without
hesitation, an eyebrow arched in challenge. He was not willing to be
intimidated or looked down upon just because someone had decided to
confront him.
"Brat? What did you call me?" The boy immediately shouted, his voice
full of indignation and anger. Minato, on the other hand, shrugged while
opening his food, clearly uninterested in a pointless quarrel.
"My name is Kai Inuzuka! You better stay away from those girls, civilian!
Hm?" He said, trying to threaten Minato, but he just continued eating,
enjoying the meal Madame Gorete had prepared.
"Madame Gorete always knows how to make great food..." Minato
praised, more interested in his meal than in the growing frustration of the
Inuzuka.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" The Inuzuka shouted, trying to capture Minato's
attention, who looked at him with an interrogative gaze, clearly
indifferent to the supposed threat.
"Sorry, I didn't hear. Who are you again?" Minato asked, scratching his
head, genuinely confused about what that boy wanted from him at such a
delicate time as lunch.
"I said I am...!"
"Get out of the way!" A new voice interrupted with a punch to the
Inuzuka boy's head, sending him flying to the side as he fell knocked out.
"Mr. Inuzuka!" His classmates quickly ran to where he fell, concerned
about the sudden attack.
"Tsuna?" Minato was surprised by the sudden appearance of the blonde
girl, who approached him with her hair swinging in the wind.
"I saw you here alone and it looked like you were in trouble," Tsuna said,
crossing her arms while staring at Minato with a concerned look, but at
the same time strong and determined.
"I didn't need help, I could handle some brats," Minato responded with a
shrug.
"Tsk. You're also a brat, Minato." Mikoto appeared right behind Tsuna.
"What are you doing here too?" Tsuna looked at her suspiciously, clearly
not expecting Mikoto to join them.
"I wanted to see how the fight would unfold, but you protected your
boyfriend so quickly..." Mikoto said calmly, provoking Tsuna with a
comment she knew would irritate her.
"Who's my boyfriend!? And you didn't answer why you're here. You
should be with your clan," Tsuna retorted, frustration and anger growing
within her.
"I'm not. They're so boring and arrogant, so I came here with you,"
Mikoto replied with a small smile.
"She calls them arrogant..." both Tsuna and Minato murmured about the
girl who is arrogant herself.

[Chapter Size: 1500 Words.]
Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
In the afternoon, with the sun high in the sky and the heat permeating
the air, the teacher gathered the elite class at the training track in the
courtyard, a spacious and well-equipped space designed to test and
develop the physical and mental abilities of the young ninjas. The
children gathered, some excited, others nervous, but all aware that this
training was a crucial part of their ninja journey.
"Today we will test your physical fitness. Don't worry about the initial
result. We have years to train you, and you're in the elite class for a
reason. So just strive to improve from today onwards," the teacher said,
offering words of encouragement. His voice was calm and steady,
conveying the seriousness of the training, but also an underlying
confidence in each student's abilities.
As everyone familiarized themselves with the track, looking at the
various obstacles that included walls to climb, beams to balance on, and
areas designated to test agility and speed, the air was charged with a mix
of anticipation and determination. Some students stretched, others
exchanged words of encouragement or strategies, and some, like Minato,
quietly observed, mentally preparing for the challenge ahead.
"I want everyone to line up at the start of the obstacle course. We're
going to do an initial circuit to assess your physical level," the instructor
announced, and all the children began to line up at the starting line. They
positioned themselves side by side, some with confident postures, others
a bit more hesitant, but all ready to begin.
Minato took his place in the line, next to Tsuna and Mikoto, his already
common partners. He could feel their tension, the friendly but intense
competition between the girls. He knew that, despite being together, each
one was focused on their own goals and desires for improvement.
The teacher raised his hand, ready to give the start signal. A tense silence
fell over the track as all eyes focused on him, waiting for the moment to
begin. And then, with a decisive nod, the race began. The students took
off, each with their own pace and style, facing the obstacles with
determination and courage. It was the beginning of not just a simple
circuit, but a long and challenging path toward mastery and excellence
with parkour and speed.
As the young ninjas raced towards the obstacle circuit, the track was a
tangle of challenges designed to test strength, agility, and speed.
Minato, although a civilian, had exceptional physical characteristics, a
result of his origins in the world of One Piece. His body was naturally
more powerful and resilient, and he moved with an agility and strength
that surprised many of his peers. The first obstacle was a series of tall
walls that needed to be climbed. While some students struggled to find a
foothold, Minato used his superior strength to propel himself upward,
almost with ease, his movements fluid and precise.
"Incredible, he's really a civilian...?" Someone asked.
"He's not even sweating chakra..." Tsuna reflected with some surprise.
"Yes, he's using pure physical strength, but how is that possible..." Mikoto
also murmured.
Moving forward, there was a narrow beam that required balance and
concentration. Here, many students faltered, their bodies swaying
uncertainly. Minato, however, crossed the beam with the confidence of
someone accustomed to high-sea battles and maneuvers on rocking ships
naturally. His posture was firm, his eyes fixed on the goal ahead.
Next, the circuit led to a series of barriers and tunnels that required
agility and flexibility. Minato stood out, his speed almost a blur to the
onlookers. He moved with a grace that belied his power, sliding under
barriers and twisting through narrow tunnels with ease that made it clear
his training and origin were not as ordinary as many thought.
But what really impressed was his endurance. While others began to
show signs of fatigue, Minato's breathing remained controlled, his
movements as efficient at the end of the circuit as at the beginning. He
treated each obstacle as an opponent to be overcome, a chance to prove
to himself and others what he was capable of.
At the end of the circuit, while other students arrived panting and
exhausted, Minato completed the course with a breath that surprised
even the teachers. He didn't reach first place, as he was competing with
students who had been training since birth for their clans, but he
certainly surpassed most of the other students.
Minato's performance did not go unnoticed. Murmurs and looks of
admiration, envy, and surprise ran through the crowd that arrived after
him at the finish line. Even Tsuna and Mikoto, who knew Minato better
than most, couldn't help but be impressed with the demonstration of skill
and strength.
As Minato caught his breath, his thoughts were already on the next
challenge, the next chance to improve and grow. After the completion of
the circuit, while the young ninjas recovered, panting and exhausted, the
teacher walked along the finish line, holding a clipboard and carefully
noting the results of each student. He observed each one with an
attentive eye, marking the times, highlighting the strengths, and the
areas that needed improvement.
The teacher approached Minato, looking at the clipboard before fixing his
eyes on the young ninja.
"Minato Namikaze," he began, his voice carrying a tone of respect and a
bit of surprise. "Your time and ability on the circuit were remarkable.
Your strength, agility, and endurance are exceptional, especially for a
civilian and you did this with physical capabilities. This speaks volumes
about your commitment and potential."
Minato just nodded, listening attentively. He was aware of his abilities,
but he knew that praise from the teacher was not the ultimate goal. It
was just the confirmation that he was on the right path.
The teacher made a special mark next to Minato's name on the clipboard
and then continued to speak. "However, the path of a ninja is not just
about physical ability. Tactics, strategy, chakra control, teamwork, and
many other aspects are equally important. I hope you continue to
develop in all these areas."
"Understood, professor," Minato responded, his voice firm and
determined. He knew that the original Minato would have already been
breaking all the academy records at this time before Kakashi, so he must
do even better.
As the teacher moved away to continue his notes, Minato looked around
at his peers. He saw Tsuna and Mikoto discussing their own results, some
students expressing frustration, others joy, and still others silent
determination.
'These two are always fighting all the time...' Minato looked at the girls
with a lost gaze.
After the obstacle course, the teacher guided the students to a new
training area, aimed at improving precision in kunai throwing. It was a
crucial skill for any ninja, useful both in combat and on missions that
required discretion and accuracy. Minato joined his peers, each receiving
a set of kunais to practice.
'The wooden kunais I use have the same weight as these, but it's still
quite different to hold a real one compared to a copy.' Minato murmured,
balancing the weapon for the first time.
Lined up in front of targets fixed at various distances, the students began
to throw their kunais, one after the other. There was a palpable tension
in the air, a mix of concentration and competition among the children.
Minato positioned himself, briefly observing the others before focusing
on his own target.
He took a deep breath, seeking to find a state of calm and focus.
Throwing kunais was never his strong point; he knew that his precision
was mediocre compared to some of the other skills he possessed. With a
fluid motion, he threw the first kunai, watching as it spun through the air
and hit the target, but not exactly at the point he was aiming for. It hit
the target, but far from the center.
Minato threw one kunai after another, each time adjusting his aim, his
strength, and his control. Despite his efforts, only 40% of his kunais hit a
satisfactory area of the target. Frustration began to form within him, but
he refused to let it take over. He was determined to improve, no matter
how many attempts it took.
Beside him, Tsuna and Mikoto also practiced. Tsuna, with impressive
precision, threw her kunais with confidence and skill, while Mikoto, even
more adept, showed her mastery with each throw.
"Focus, Minato. Visualize the exact point you want to hit," the teacher
advised, noticing Minato's struggle. He offered some additional tips on
posture and throwing technique, hoping to help the young ninja improve.
Minato nodded in acknowledgment and took another deep breath. He
remembered the intense training he had undergone, the hours of practice,
and the burning desire to improve. With a new sense of determination,
he threw another kunai, watching closely its flight and impact. The kunai
hit closer to the center, a small but significant progress.
"I'm on the way, but I need to improve a lot with my training..." He
murmured, still not satisfied with the result.

Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
After the kunai throwing session, the teacher decided to shift the focus of
the training to hand-to-hand combat. It was an essential part of ninja
training, teaching not just fighting techniques but also how to react under
pressure, assess opponents, and quickly adapt to varied situations. The
children gathered, some eager, others apprehensive, but all aware that
this would be a test of their physical and mental abilities.
"Let's test your combat skills," announced the teacher. "It's not just about
strength, but strategy, agility, and effective use of your environment.
Remember, the goal is not to severely injure your opponent, but to
demonstrate control and technique."
The students were paired up, and the training field quickly transformed
into a whirlwind of activity. Minato was paired with a classmate he only
knew by sight. Although not as physically imposing as some of the other
students, there was a clear determination in their eyes.
As the fight began, Minato focused on observing and reacting. He knew
his physical abilities were strong, but he was also aware that hand-to-
hand combat was unpredictable and that any overconfidence could be
quickly undone. He moved with agility, defending against his opponent's
attacks and looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Around him, the training area was full of action. Some fights were quick
and decisive, while others were prolonged tests of endurance and skill.
Shouts of encouragement and frustration could be heard mixed with the
sound of rapid footsteps and strikes.
Minato, using his superior strength and speed, began to gain an
advantage in his fight. He dodged attacks gracefully and responded with
controlled strikes, always careful not to cause serious injury. He could
feel fatigue beginning to affect his opponent, but instead of using that to
end the fight quickly, he slowed down, allowing both to have a longer,
more analytical training.
At the end of the exercise, Minato emerged victorious, but his spirit of
camaraderie remained intact. "It was a good fight," he said, extending his
hand in a gesture of friendship and respect.
"Thank you... I guess..." the classmate responded, still catching their
breath, but clearly grateful for Minato's consideration.
It was then that the teacher intervened, deciding to raise the level of
challenge for Minato. "Minato, fight against Shikaku," he announced,
referring to Shikaku Nara, known for his intelligence and strategic skills,
as well as his characteristic laziness.
"Such a drag... Go easy. I don't want to go home hurt," Shikaku spoke in a
typically bored tone of his clan. Minato sighed, understanding the
reluctant nature of his new opponent, but also recognizing the
opportunity to learn from someone whose skills were more mental than
physical.
The ensuing fight was an interesting contrast to the previous one.
Shikaku, despite his lazy demeanor, was a cunning opponent, using his
shadow jutsu to try and control and predict Minato's movements. Minato,
in turn, had to adapt his fighting style, relying less on brute force and
more on speed and strategy to overcome Shikaku's deceptive techniques.
Eventually, the cat-and-mouse game began to wear on Shikaku, who
clearly preferred activities that required less physical effort. With an
exaggerated yawn and a look conveying a mix of boredom and mild
irritation, he finally backed off.
"Such a drag... That's enough," Shikaku announced, his voice laden with
boredom as he put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked away. "I'm
not interested in getting hurt just to prove a point. You win, Minato
Namikaze." His casual attitude and lack of interest in continuing the fight
didn't surprise Minato, who knew the Nara clan's reputation for
preferring mind over muscle.
Minato, watching Shikaku walk away, sighed lightly, a mix of relief and
disappointment in his chest. He understood and respected Shikaku's
decision, but at the same time, longed for a challenge that would truly
test his abilities. His attention, however, was quickly diverted by a
commotion around.
"Oww, look at them!" An excited child's voice cut through the air,
followed by murmurs and glances pointed towards another part of the
training area. Curious, Minato turned to see what was attracting so much
attention.
At the center of the training track, Tsuna Senju and Mikoto Uchiha stood
face to face, ready to begin their own fight. It was a scene that captured
attention: on one side, Tsuna, known for her physical strength and the
fierce determination that ran in her Senju blood; on the other, Mikoto,
with her speed and agility that made her a formidable opponent,
distinctive traits of the Uchiha clan.
As the fight began, the difference between their approaches became
evident. Mikoto moved like a blur, her steps quick and light, almost
dancing around Tsuna, who, in turn, responded with powerful and
decisive movements. Each of Tsuna's strikes was a demonstration of pure
strength, while each of Mikoto's dodges was a testament to her
exceptional speed.
The fight between them was like a ballet of contrasts: strength against
speed, power against agility. The other children watched in silence, some
cheering, others merely absorbing every move, every tactical decision.
Minato, in particular, also watched the fight attentively, hoping to absorb
something from the different fighting styles, even though his style was
more like Mikoto's, favoring speed.
The fight made all other bouts stop to watch the exchange of fists
between the girls, each strike, each dodge was made by two of the class's
leading geniuses.
In the end, the fight ended in a draw with the interference of the teacher.
"You managed to get out unscathed this time, Uchiha," Tsuna spoke
arrogantly.
"You were lucky, Senju. Next time won't be so easy..." Mikoto spoke with
a small smile.
Meanwhile, the teacher continued the fights.
"Let's continue the fights. Minato, fight against Chōza Akimichi," the
teacher instructed, and Minato nodded.
Chōza Akimichi would not just be a member of the renowned Akimichi
clan, known for their ability to manipulate their size and weight, which
gave them a significant advantage in terms of strength and defense, but
also the future patriarch of the clan like Shikaku. Minato knew that this
fight would be a true test of his abilities, facing an opponent with such
unique and powerful potential and capacity.
As they positioned themselves, Minato assessed Chōza, trying to plan a
strategy. He knew brute force wouldn't be enough and that he would
need to use his speed and agility to try to circumvent Chōza's defense.
The fight began with Chōza immediately utilizing his body strength,
jumping on top of Minato to slow his movement. Minato, moving
quickly, tried to find a weak point, a moment of opening. He dodged
Chōza's powerful blows, each capable of causing serious damage if it hit.
Minato managed to land a few strikes, but soon realized that his damage
was minimal due to Chōza's impressive natural defense. Each attack
Minato made seemed only to make Chōza more determined. The
Akimichi used his strength trying to unbalance Minato and force him into
a vulnerable position.
The fight continued, with Minato striving to maintain agility, but fatigue
began to set in. Each dodge and run consumed his energy, and he could
feel his pace slowing down. Chōza, noticing this, intensified his attacks,
becoming increasingly confident of his victory.
Finally, in a critical moment, Minato stumbled, a fraction of a second of
hesitation that was enough for Chōza to take advantage. With a quick
and powerful move, Chōza managed to hit Minato, sending him to the
ground with a surprising impact.
Minato lay there, panting and defeated, but not discouraged. He knew
that each defeat was a lesson, a moment of learning to become stronger.
Slowly getting up, he faced Chōza with a look of respect. "Good fight," he
said sincerely, acknowledging his opponent's skill.
Chōza offered his hand to help Minato up. "You fought well too," he
replied, a sign of mutual respect between the two.
The teacher, observing the end of the fight, noted the results and moved
on to the next combatants.
Minato's next opponent had a mocking and confident look. "I'm Akame
Uchiha, I'll defeat you easily as any Uchiha would, civilian!" The boy
taunted, clearly underestimating Minato due to his lack of a renowned
clan and by his natural Uchiha pride. Minato, in turn, rolled his eyes, not
letting himself be intimidated by Akame's provocative words.
Both positioned themselves in the makeshift ring for the fight, under the
watchful eye of the teacher and peers. The fight began, and immediately
it was clear that Akame had more training. His stance was firmer, his
movements more fluid and confident. He advanced quickly, trying to
dominate Minato with a series of agile moves. Minato, in turn, remained
focused, dodging Akame's attacks and trying to find an opening.
Despite his lack of formal training, Minato had an iron determination and
a natural ability to adapt quickly. He observed every move of Akame,
learning and anticipating. However, Akame's skill and confidence were
palpable, and he seemed to have control of the fight.
But then, in the heat of the moment and perhaps due to overconfidence,
Akame made a mistake. In a particularly arrogant move, he attempted a
bolder strike, hoping to finalize the fight with style. It was the slip that
Minato was waiting for. He saw the opening created by Akame's
arrogance and, with a quick movement, took advantage of the chance.
Minato, using his agility, circled around Akame and, with a surprisingly
strong push for a boy his age, launched Akame out of the ring. It was a
simple but effective move, executed at the exact right moment.
Akame fell to the ground with a dull thud, his expression mixing surprise
and confusion. For a moment, the ring was in sepulchral silence, all those
present absorbing the unexpected outcome of the fight. Minato, standing,
still catching his breath after the effort, felt a wave of realization. He had
faced a considerable challenge and emerged victorious.
"It was a good fight," the teacher finally broke the silence, praising both
competitors. His voice carried a tone of respect and a slight touch of
surprise, reflecting the reaction of the spectators.
"I should have won that fight!" Akame protested, his voice tinged with
arrogance and a touch of resentment. He was still on the ground, looking
incredulously at Minato.
"Yes, but you're very careless..." Mikoto commented, an evident mockery
in her voice as she watched the scene with crossed arms. She couldn't
help but point out the flaw that had cost Akame the fight.
"Tsk." Akame clicked his tongue in frustration, clearly dissatisfied with
how things had unfolded.
The teacher, seizing the moment as a teaching opportunity, addressed all
the students. "Remember, a ninja always has to be attentive, Akame. I
hope you learn from this. And Minato, congratulations on using the
disadvantages of a stronger opponent," he praised. His words served as a
reminder that cunning and perception were as important as brute
strength on the path of a ninja.
With that, the class came to an end. The students, still discussing the
fights and their outcomes, began to go their separate ways. Minato, with
the fresh victory in his mind, decided to use the rest of the afternoon for
further training. He knew that each victory was just one step in his
journey and that there would always be more to learn and more
challenges to face. Determined and focused, he headed to the training
field, ready to continue honing his skills and preparing for the future.

Third Person POV
Hokage Tower, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
As the sun began to set, painting the sky with vibrant colors, Minato
headed to his favorite training spot. He was determined to make the most
of the last moments of the day to improve himself, especially after the
day's events. The victories and defeats he had endured had given him a
new sense of purpose and determination. He knew he needed to grow
much more to reach his ideal.
While Minato focused on his training, practicing his senses to develop his
haki, and working on his taijutsu with his technique based on agility and
strength, something important was happening in the Hokage's office. The
village leader, a man of great wisdom and power, was receiving a
detailed report on the students of class A, the elite class of the academy
this year.
"This is this year's batch... interesting..." He murmured, spreading papers
with various profiles across his desk.
Among the various names, some he knew very well either by the name of
their clan or by knowing their parents, the main children had potential
that could bring changes to the village and to the ninja world as a whole.
Hiruzen reflected on each of them, thinking about how he could guide
and support their growth.
Tsuna Senju, with her renowned lineage and impressive physical strength
from the first and second Hokage, already showed signs that she could
have as much talent as her mother, a powerful kunoichi. Her connection
to the legendary First Hokage and the heritage of her clan brought great
expectations, but also immense responsibility.
Mikoto Uchiha, with her speed and the promise of an early Sharingan,
carried the legacy of one of the village's most powerful clans, but was
also someone the Hokage should keep an eye on if she showed too much
potential.
And then there was Minato Namikaze, the clanless boy who impressed
everyone with his large amount of chakra, multiple elemental affinities,
and notable physical aptitude. The Hokage was particularly intrigued by
him. Minato didn't have the backing of a powerful clan, but his abilities
and potentials indicated that he could one day become an exceptional
ninja, perhaps an elite jonin or something more.
Hiruzen was still skeptical about Minato's potential, but he could not
deny the potential that this child represented.
The Hokage read carefully the notes about Minato. "Large amount of
chakra, three elemental affinities, naturally high physical aptitude..." he
murmured to himself. "It seems Namikaze was a small clan that
disappeared with the first war, they specialized in space-time
techniques... interesting..."
He read about a few more children and was pleased with what he saw.
"Interesting," the Hokage commented, putting the report aside. He knew
that the village's future had promising sprouts, seeing that peace is
cracking every moment and soon war will break out, so it's better to have
capable ninjas for the future.
As the Hokage lost himself in his thoughts about the future of the young
ninjas of the village, a familiar and laid-back voice emerged from one of
the open windows of the office. The Hokage sighed, a mix of resignation
and affection in his gaze.
"I see you're thinking again... maybe about a hot spring?" Jiraiya, one of
the legendary Sannin and one of the Hokage's most notorious students,
appeared with his mischievous smile and playful gaze.
"You like to show up every day, Jiraiya," the Hokage commented, a slight
smile forming on his lips despite his attempt to maintain a serious
demeanor.
"I just came to say hello..." Jiraiya approached with interest, his eyes
quickly turning to the Hokage's desk, where the report of the new
students was.
"This is the report of the new students..." The Hokage confirmed, noting
Jiraiya's sudden interest.
"Interesting, I'm interested in one too, here it is!" Jiraiya pointed to the
name of Minato Namikaze on the report.
"The Namikaze? Perhaps because he's a civilian like you?" The Hokage
raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his student's choice.
"Maybe, but there's no denying the boy has potential. I want him when
he graduates," Jiraiya spoke with a firm and determined tone, a rarity for
the normally jovial Sannin.
"You? Why are you so interested in the boy, by the way, I don't know if I
can do that, Danzō is recruiting for his new division, the Root, and he
needs new talents," Hiruzen commented, starting to smoke his pipe, the
concern evident in his voice.
"Sorry, sensei. But I want him, no matter who I have to fight with... I'll
become this child's teacher," Jiraiya declared, his usually playful tone
now replaced by an unusual seriousness.
"Well... if you're so insistent, I can grant that to you, but I want to know
about your latest research," the Hokage spoke, a smile forming on his lips
at the mention of Jiraiya's notorious interest in "research."
Jiraiya beamed at this, clearly pleased with his master's concession. "Oh,
sensei, you're going to love hearing about this," he responded, already
preparing to recount his adventures and "discoveries."
While Jiraiya spoke animatedly with the Hokage, young Minato was
engaged in his training in the dense forest that surrounded the Leaf
Village before the sun completely set. He was determined to make some
progress in Observation Haki.
Minato ran through the forest, his eyes blindfolded as always to increase
his reliance on other senses. "I just need to concentrate," he murmured to
himself, trying to tune in and trust his instincts about the world around
him. But the task was not easy. Several times he stumbled over exposed
roots or collided with low tree trunks.
"Ouch!" he exclaimed, hitting a tree with his face. He fell to the ground,
holding his sore nose. For a moment, he considered giving up for today.
However, the image of the future he aspired to began to appear to him, "I
need to keep going!" He murmured. He got up, shook the dirt off his
clothes, and prepared to continue.
Taking a deep breath, Minato started running again, trying to open
himself to the sensations around him. He felt the wind whispering among
the leaves, heard the chirping of the birds at the end of the day calming
down with the approach of night, and even the slight crackling of a
branch breaking under his foot. Then, something changed. For a brief
moment, it seemed like the world around him slowed down. He felt
something... a presence, an imminent danger coming from his right.
Instinctively, he turned to the left, a sudden and clumsy move, but
effective. He felt the rough bark of the tree brush lightly against his
shoulder instead of colliding head-on as before. He stopped, panting,
trying to understand what had just happened.
For a brief moment, Minato felt a clarity, a perception beyond his normal
senses. "Could it have been Observation Haki?" he wondered, his heart
racing with excitement at managing to feel the ability for the first time.
He knew he still had a long way to go, but this small success was a sign
that he was on the right track.
"This is amazing! I need more of this sensation!" Minato spoke excitedly.
He continued his progress again, trying to dodge the trees and obstacles
in front of him, but still couldn't get the same feeling again, causing him
to hit his face against various trees.
"I think I just got lucky... I don't think that's going to happen again
anytime soon..." Minato murmured, giving up on today's training since
the sky was already dark, and he had to return before Madame Gorete
sent some chunin after a missing child.
Even though he hadn't made any more progress, Minato was satisfied
with the sensation he had at that moment, as it was proof that he was
indeed developing the ability that would be better than any sensor at that
time.

[Chapter Size: 1400 Words.]
Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
Minato's routine had become a series of rituals and strict disciplines, each
day starting with the journey to school in the early hours of the morning
and ending with intense training sessions in his usual field after classes
on history, math, and other subjects. The academy was a mix of
theoretical and practical learning, where he spent most of his day, always
attentive and seeking to improve. In class, Minato was an exemplary
student, but it was in the training field that he truly felt at home.
His relationship with Tsuna Senju and Mikoto Uchiha continued the
same. The two girls, continuing their own disputes from their renowned
clans, still sat by his side and accompanied him during lunch. Despite the
clan differences, the three formed a peculiar trio. Minato fought a few
times against them in combats during practical classes, and despite
always having lost in technique and skill in his fights against the girls, he
always stood out in physical conditions, being among the first in terms of
strength and endurance in the circuits that the teacher put the class
through.
In the kunai throwing classes, Minato observed a slow but steady
improvement. His accuracy had increased by about 10%, a modest
progress, but encouraging for his condition. Still, it was far from the level
he aimed for. He spent extra hours practicing, each throw an attempt to
refine his aim and control every day.
Outside the academy, Minato dedicated himself to developing chakra
control and improving Observation Haki. Slowly, he began to notice
more moments when the ability manifested, allowing him to anticipate
and dodge obstacles more effectively.
However, the manifestation of his body of light, an ability he eagerly
awaited, still proved elusive. Despite his incessant efforts, he couldn't
trigger this elemental transformation, which left him frustrated and often
injured after more intense training sessions with him hitting the trees in
his way. Each night, he returned to the orphanage with new scratches
and bruises, a testament to his dedication and determination.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks into a whole month since his entry
into this world of ninjas. Minato had made remarkable progress, but he
knew he still had a long way to go. He felt himself getting stronger,
closer to what he aspired to, as his path was just beginning and he had
many challenges that his future held.
As the sun gave way to the shadows of dusk, Minato was intensely
focused on his training. With his eyes blindfolded, he ran among the
trees, trying to refine his perception and reaction through Observation
Haki. He was about to dodge another tree when an unexpected voice cut
through the forest's silence.
"So this is where you train?" The childlike, curious, and somewhat
amused voice made Minato lose concentration at a crucial moment.
*Pow!* Minato's forehead collided with the tree he was about to dodge.
The sharp pain made him crouch down and hold his head.
"Ow, ow, ow!" Minato murmured, a mix of pain and frustration in his
voice as he rubbed the spot where he had hurt himself.
"HAhahahahahahaha!" The clear and unmistakable laughter of Tsuna
Senju echoed through the forest. She found the scene hilarious, seeing
Minato with his eyes blindfolded colliding with the tree.
"Don't laugh, what are you doing here?" Minato demanded, a little
irritated but more embarrassed than anything. He quickly removed the
blindfold from his eyes to face his friend, who was still having fun with
the situation.
"I wanted to see how you create all those wounds, but what kind of
training is this? It's kind of sadistic!" Tsuna said, still laughing, but also
with a touch of genuine curiosity in her voice.
Minato sighed, the initial embarrassment giving way to a slight
resignation. "It's a type of training to increase my perception and
reflexes," he explained, trying to regain some dignity. "It's not sadistic,
it's... a challenge."
Tsuna, still smiling, approached and examined Minato's forehead. "You
always try so hard. But be careful not to hurt yourself too much, okay? I
don't know how this training is supposed to help you..." she said, her
voice now softer and more concerned.
Minato nodded, silently thanking her for her concern, but still spoke with
a bit of frustration.
"Tsk. This is my training; it improves the senses, it's very effective for the
future," Minato argued, trying to explain the importance of his method to
Tsuna, who still seemed to find the situation more comical than serious.
"I've never heard of anything so self-harming, you had to see the booth
you shocked with that tree, I still don't understand... Hahahahahahaha!"
She laughed again, genuinely finding the situation amusing, her hand
pressed against her belly in an attempt to contain the laughter.
"If you're here to laugh at me, I'll continue my training," Minato
murmured with a frown. He began to ignore Tsuna, preparing to put the
blindfold back on.
"Hey, don't ignore me, wait!" Tsuna stopped laughing when she saw
Minato adjust the blindfold and start running through the forest again,
clearly willing to continue despite the collisions and ignoring the little
girl's presence.
Minato ignored her and continued his run, focused on honing his
perception beyond sight. *Pow!* With another dull thud, he fell to the
ground after colliding with another tree.
"Bfffffur! HahahahahaHahaha!" Tsuna began to laugh again, unable to
contain her amusement at seeing her friend trying so hard but continuing
to crash into trees one after another.
Despite the pain and embarrassment, Minato did not give up. He got up
and continued his run through the forest, each collision, each bruise,
bringing him closer to his goal.
"HEY, why do you keep doing this? It seems to be quite painful..." Tsuna
was no longer laughing. The initial fun had given way to genuine
curiosity and a hint of concern. Why would Minato persist in something
so clearly painful?
"I need to become stronger," he said as he started running again, his voice
mixed with determination and a hint of frustration before colliding with
another tree. *Pow!*
Tsuna watched him silently for a moment, her expression now serious
and thoughtful. She realized there was more to that determination than
she initially thought. She saw, perhaps for the first time, the depth of
Minato's resolve and began to respect him even more for it. Even as he
continued to collide with trees, Tsuna knew that somehow, each collision
was forging Minato into something stronger, something greater.
*Pow!*
Another collision, followed by a brief sigh of pain and determination.
Minato didn't stop, his determined figure advancing and falling, but
always getting up to continue.
*Pow!*
Tsuna furrowed her brow with each sound, each thud a reminder of the
brutality of the training Minato chose for himself.
*Pow!*
And then, amid the cycle of collisions and determination, Tsuna finally
broke the silence. "Why do you want to become stronger and why do you
strive so much?" she asked softly, her voice carrying a mix of genuine
curiosity and concern.
Minato stopped for a moment, panting. He turned to Tsuna, removing the
blindfold from his eyes to face her directly. "Because the path of a ninja
isn't easy, and this is my path," he began, his voice full of a conviction
that went beyond his age. "I intend to live my life without regrets in this
world!" he continued, firmly. Minato was aware of the challenges and
dangers the future might bring, and he intended to overcome all of them.
"A life without regrets..." Tsuna murmured, echoing Minato's words. She
looked at him with a unique expression.
Minato finally paused his training and turned to Tsuna.
"I'm done for today, I'll wash off a bit of my dirt in the river and head
back to the orphanage, you should go back to your house, your parents
must be worried." Minato reminded her, making Tsuna snap out of her
thoughts as he walked away.
As Minato washed his face in the river and bid Tsuna goodbye to head
home, the girl walked back to the village in a different direction from
Minato towards the Senju clan headquarters with many thoughts on her
mind, as Minato's words had touched her in some way.

Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
Minato returned to the orphanage as he had for a month in his routine
every late afternoon, each day bringing new marks from his relentless
training. The night had fallen, and the warm light of lamps illuminated
the entrance when Madame Gorete greeted him with a watchful look at
the boy's arrival.
"You finally came back..." she said, observing the new scratches and
bruises that decorated the boy's skin. "Let's go inside..." She said, making
room for him to enter.
"Minato, he's back! All bruised as always..." One of the children dining
pointed out Minato entering the place.
"You need to take a bath first, then join the other children, Minato."
Madame Gorete instructed Minato. Minato nodded and, without saying a
word, went to the room to get some clean clothes and headed to the bath.
After washing away the pains and dirt of the day, Minato joined the other
children at the orphanage for dinner. It wasn't long before curiosity and
questions began to arise.
"Minato, what's it like being in the elite class this year? You've been there
for a month now, and everyone says only the best are in it, and it's full of
future clan leaders." A child asked, his eyes shining with the idea of being
among the notables of the academy.
"Jealous, how many contacts I could make if I were in it..." another
murmured, more interested in the connections they could form.
"I heard that Minato has a group made up of two more girls!" the
conversation began to take on a gossip tone.
"Really? Who are they?" a younger child asked, clearly intrigued.
"You don't know, it's Mikoto Uchiha and Tsuna Senju! They're quite
famous at the academy," someone replied, and a murmur of admiration
swept through the table.
"What? A Senju and a Uchiha? That's amazing, Minato."
"I bet he's just a servant for them, so don't be surprised that Minato can
walk with them," a skeptical voice sounded, mocking Minato.
"Tsk. You talk too much..." Minato murmured, his patience running out
with the gossip and assumptions about his life. He wasn't interested in
proving anything to these children.
"Minato, let's fight any time, I'll show you how a real ninja fights!" one of
the older ones challenged.
"Hey, you're in the third year, how do you want to fight against a first-
year..." another child intervened, trying to defend Minato.
"Minato's in the elite class, it's fair!" the challenger insisted.
"It's not fair, you're just jealous!" the discussion continued, each child
taking a side, defending or challenging Minato.
"I'm not!" "Yes, you are!" The voices mixed in chaos of arguments and
accusations.
Minato moved away from the discussion, finishing his meal in silence and
going to rest, ignoring all those childish voices.
On the other side of Konoha, at the Senju clan headquarters, very
different conversations were taking place. Tsuna, usually lively and full
of energy, was visibly distracted that night, sparking the curiosity of her
family around the table.
"Tsuna, what's wrong? You're so focused today..." Tsunade looked at her
daughter with concern and curiosity.
"I'm just thinking..." Tsuna responded softly, her thoughts still on Minato's
words.
"Hohoho! What is my great-granddaughter thinking about..." Mito, the
venerable matriarch of the clan, gently teased, trying to lighten the mood
with her typical good humor.
"Tsuna, I heard you left the academy and went to one of the public
training fields," Dam, observing his daughter's behavior, tried to
understand the reason behind this sudden behavior.
"I went to see a friend training..." Tsuna admitted, somewhat reluctant to
share her thoughts and feelings.
"A friend... it usually starts like that... Hohohoho!" Mito joked once more,
casting a knowing glance at Tsuna, who quickly became defensive.
"It's not that!" she defended herself. "I saw him train, and he was so
determined in his training that it surprised me. Despite his failures, he
never gave up, and I asked why he was so insistent. He told me he wants
to be strong to live a life without regrets..." Tsuna murmured, her words
carrying a mix of admiration and reflection.
"Oh? Who is your friend?" Tsunade asked, raising an eyebrow, intrigued
by the effect this friend apparently had on her daughter.
"It's that one from the test day, Minato Namikaze. We've been friends
since the first day," Tsuna stated.
"Little Tsuna, you're only 6 years old, you can't think about getting a
boyfriend so early!" Mito laughed, teasing Tsuna even more, who
immediately blushed and protested against the implication.
"It's not that, grandma, I'm sure Tsuna doesn't have that kind of
relationship with any boy, otherwise, that boy wouldn't survive the next
day!" Tsunade spoke, the intensity of her words cracking the table and
causing a brief silence.
"I'm sure it's nothing like that, Tsunade, you need to calm down..." Dam
tried to calm the mood, his serene voice contrasting with the tension that
was beginning to form in the atmosphere.
At that moment, Nawaki, proudly wearing his genin clothes, appeared. "I
heard everything, if a boy thinks he can date my little umbrella, he can
just wait for his death!" he declared.
"It's not like that uncle! I was just surprised by it!" Tsuna shouted, clearly
embarrassed by the direction the conversation had taken. She quickly
changed the subject to something that really mattered to her. "I thought
about what Minato said and I also want to live a life without regrets!" she
said, determination shining in her eyes.
"That's very good, Tsuna." Mito acknowledged Tsuna's words with a
warm smile and a nod of approval.
"Mom, I want to learn everything about being a powerful medic! Teach
me everything." She looked at Tsunade with expectation and hope.
"That's good, daughter. I'll start your more rigorous training from
tomorrow after the academy when I'm not in the hospital," Tsunade
replied, a glint of pride in her eyes.
The next day, Tsuna arrived at the academy with a new determination.
She was ready to absorb all the knowledge and skills she could, not just
as a kunoichi but also as a future medic.
"Hey, what's up with you?" Mikoto asked with a raised eyebrow as Tsuna
opened a medical book her mother had lent her.
"I'm following my dream, I'm going to learn everything about medicine,
Uchiha," Tsuna replied firmly, closing the book and looking directly at
Mikoto.
"What's this change...?" Mikoto looked at Tsuna suspiciously, noticing the
difference in her attitude.
"Yesterday I went to see Minato train and discovered some things. I want
to live my life without regrets too!" Tsuna said with a smile, her voice
carrying a mix of determination and inspiration.
"Minato training? Where does he train?" Mikoto asked.
As Tsuna and Mikoto discussed, Minato entered the classroom,
completely oblivious to the girls' conversation about him. He settled in
his usual place and focused on the day's lessons, dedicating himself to
absorbing as much as possible from both theoretical and practical classes.
During practical classes, Minato once again stood out in combats against
some of the less experienced fighters. His physical strength and agility
were notable, but when facing more experienced ninjas, the lack of
technique and experience became apparent. Despite the defeats, Minato
accepted each result as a valuable lesson, analyzing where he needed to
improve and planning how he could overcome his own limitations.
At the end of the day, as Minato left the academy toward his training
site, he noticed a familiar presence following him. Mikoto Uchiha,
curious about the training that had so influenced Tsuna, decided to see
for herself what Minato was doing.
Minato, initially surprised to have company, soon resumed his usual
training without caring about the Uchiha girl. He ran between the trees,
his blindfold on, intensely focusing on each movement, on each
sensation.
Mikoto watched in silence. She didn't laugh like Tsuna did; instead, there
was a look of reflection on her face. After some time observing Minato
colliding and getting up repeatedly, she finally approached.
"Why do you do this?" Mikoto asked, her voice carrying a mix of curiosity
and newfound respect.
Minato stopped, removing the blindfold and facing Mikoto directly.
"Because I need to be stronger. Because I have goals that I can only
achieve through effort and pain," he replied earnestly.
Mikoto nodded, understanding. At that moment, she recognized Minato's
determination not as an act of madness but as a sign of his dedication
and willpower.
When they parted that night, something had changed. Mikoto looked at
Minato not just as a classmate but as someone who, despite their
differences, shared a similar determination to change their fate.

17. Chapter 17
[Chapter Size: 1400 Words.]
Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
As tensions between the Five Great Nations increased, threatening the
fragile peace that had been maintained for years, life in Konoha
continued. Concerns about a possible imminent conflict were present in
the minds of all the world's military forces, from the most experienced
leaders to ordinary ninjas. The possibility of a Second Ninja World War
loomed like a shadow over the villages.
In the midst of this whirlwind of preparations and uncertainties, a boy
with golden hair stood out for his unwavering determination in Konoha.
Minato, at six years of age, continued his rigorous training in his usual
field in the forest over the months since he joined the ninja academy.
Every possible day, he was there, running with a blindfold over his eyes,
dodging trees and obstacles on the ground. It took months of constant
effort and many collisions and falls with some lost baby teeth, but he
finally began to feel the initial sensation of what would be the
development of his Observation Haki.
Now, he was honing his ability with mastery in its first stage, feeling
everything around him as he passed through natural obstacles. Every
movement, every breath, every sound, and sensation became part of his
expanded consciousness. The world around him, which was once a
sequence of disjointed images and sensations, was now becoming a living
map in his mind, each element a note in a complex symphony that he
was learning to interpret even without his eyes.
With one last effort, Minato ran through the final stretch of the forest
before finally stopping, panting but triumphant. "Finally, I have
developed this Haki!" he celebrated, a feeling of accomplishment filling
his young being.
"Although it's just the initial stage, I can predict attacks and sense objects,
something even more powerful than the Byakugan," Minato reflected, his
thoughts racing as he considered the implications of his new ability. "To
start, I don't need to expend chakra on an activated dojutsu to have this
ability. Second, it's much more powerful than that. It's just the first stage,
and I'll be able to develop it to see as far as a Byakugan, feel people's
emotions, and even predict seconds into the future!" Minato mused alone
in the forest as evening fell, his spirit uplifted by the possibilities his new
ability brought, considering it the best haki for the ninja world.
After successfully mastering his technique at this initial stage, Minato
returned home, his face lit with a satisfied smile. He knew there was still
much to learn and improve, but that moment marked a turning point in
his journey since entering this world.
"I need to focus on my chakra now. I still haven't released my body of
light, so it's better to focus on my control of spiritual energy for now..."
Minato reflected as he walked back to the orphanage. He knew that
mastery of chakra was fundamental for any ninja, and without refined
control, he would never reach the level of skill he desired, as he didn't
want to rely only on his other unusual abilities in this world.
"Today you are much better... It seems you at least know how to take
care of yourself now, unlike the last few months, you are coming back
less and less injured..." Madame Gorete, as a daily ritual, always came to
greet Minato arriving from his training. She watched the boy with a mix
of maternal concern and admiration for his determination.
The boy preferred to train alone in his training area rather than interact
with the other children. Madame Gorete always found Minato's behavior
strange but accepted it, seeing how he strived to become stronger and
was in the most privileged class of the academy that year.
The next day, in the training class, Minato was paired with Tsuna for a
fight. "Minato, I won't go easy on you!" Tsuna spoke with a smile, her
posture full of confidence and anticipation for the fight.
"Bring it on, Tsuna. But how about a bet?" Minato suddenly spoke, a sly
glint in his eyes.
"Hm? A bet with you? Why would I do that, I'm not addicted to gambling
like my mother!" Tsuna crossed her arms, a challenging expression on her
face.
"If I win, I want a jutsu that you have access to, how about that. If you
beat me, you can ask anything from me, it can even be something that
can be charged in the future!" Minato proposed, his voice calm, but full
of determination.
"Fine, but don't regret it since you've never won a fight against me!"
Tsuna spoke, accepting the bet with determination and a touch of
excitement. They then began the fight.
As the fight between Tsuna and Minato unfolded, an air of anticipation
hovered. The classmates, accustomed to seeing Minato being outdone by
Tsuna, watched with renewed interest. Minato, now with his Observation
Haki more developed, positioned himself with unusual confidence, his
eyes focused and determined.
"Ready, Minato?" Tsuna asked with a confident smile, ready to
demonstrate her usual superiority.
"Always," Minato replied, his posture calm and focused.
As soon as the signal was given, Tsuna launched into a fast and powerful
attack. Her movements, usually a blur to her opponents, were strong and
precise. But this time, Minato was prepared. With the aid of Observation
Haki, he could sense Tsuna's movements before they happened, like a
prediction, dodging with a grace and accuracy that surprised everyone,
including Tsuna.
With each dodge and fluid movement of Minato, Tsuna's frustration grew.
She increased the pace, unleashing a series of quick and varied attacks,
but Minato continued to dodge, each of his movements synchronized
with her attacks. The spectators watched, stunned, as the fight took a
turn no one expected.
"How are you doing this?" Tsuna exclaimed, her frustration turning to
surprise. She had never seen Minato fight like this.
"It's the training you laughed at me for one day," Minato simply replied,
maintaining his focus.
The fight continued, and with each move, Minato not only avoided
Tsuna's attacks but also began to counter-attack, pressing her back. Then,
in a decisive moment, he saw an opening. With a quick and precise
move, he pushed Tsuna, using her own strength and momentum against
her.
Tsuna, caught off guard, stumbled backward, unable to recover in time.
With one final effort, Minato pushed her even further, and with a look of
surprise and disbelief, Tsuna stepped out of the designated fight area,
marking the end of the combat.
For a moment, there was shocked silence. Then, a wave of surprised
murmurs and exclamations ran through the crowd of students. Minato
had won, overcoming Tsuna in a way no one expected.
"Winner... Minato Namikaze..." The teacher announced still a bit stunned,
he didn't understand how Minato became so agile and predicted all of
Tsuna's attacks, one of the best when it comes to a fight.
Tsuna, still out of the fight area, looked at Minato with a mix of surprise
and a twinge of frustration. "You've improved, Minato," she admitted.
"Wow Senju... He got you there!" Mikoto spoke and didn't miss the
chance to tease Tsuna.
"Shut up, Uchiha! He might beat you too." Tsuna said with a tone of
frustration.
Minato approached Tsuna at that moment with a satisfied smile, still
catching his breath, reminded of the bet they had made before the fight
started. "Do you remember our bet, Tsuna?" he asked, a sly glint in his
eyes.
Tsuna nodded, an expression of reluctance mixed with the acceptance of
her defeat. "Yes, I remember. What do you want?"
Minato looked around, ensuring only Tsuna could hear him. "I want to
learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu," he revealed. This jutsu, a B-level
technique, which allows the user to create real clones of themselves, was
something Minato considered extremely valuable for his development as
a ninja.
Tsuna's eyes widened, surprised by the request. The Shadow Clone Jutsu
wasn't a simple technique; it was categorized as forbidden, "Are you sure?
This jutsu isn't easy to master and is quite dangerous!"
Minato nodded with determination. "I know. But that's exactly why I
want it. It will help me get stronger and reach my goals as I don't have
access to jutsus like you do."
Tsuna sighed, a smile forming on her lips. "Alright, Minato. I'll ask my
mother or Great-grandmother to deliver the scroll."
Minato was satisfied with this; he would finally learn something
powerful. He might not be as powerful as Naruto to create hundreds of
clones, but having a dozen of them at this time would help him develop
his jutsus and body several times over.

[Chapter Size: 1400 Words.]
Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
On the following day, Minato was already seated in his place, with
Mikoto by his side, discussing something intensely. "What was that
technique?" Mikoto looked curiously at Minato. "Something I've been
training for many months, over half a year," Minato calmly replied.
"Does it have to do with that strange training you've been doing after
class, isn't it? Dodging trees blindfolded helps that much in improving
your reflexes?" Mikoto asked curiously. "More or less, I managed to
develop a technique in the midst of that..." Minato calmly responded.
"Well, everyone is quite curious about it, they're still figuring out how
you managed to defeat that Senju..." Mikoto said, pointing towards the
classroom. All the students were looking at Minato while murmuring
something about him among their groups. 'Great... I hope I don't attract
too much attention... I just won a fight... Minato murmured, looking at
his classmates with a raised eyebrow.' Minato thought a bit frustrated.
The conversation between the two was interrupted with Tsuna entering
the room and going to her usual place next to Minato. The girl was
carrying an almost palpable excitement as she approached. "Good
morning, Minato, Good morning, Uchiha!" Even Tsuna didn't make her
usual grimace when she spoke to Mikoto.
"Someone seems happy..." Mikoto murmured, and Minato looked at the
Senju girl curiously. "Let me tell you, it was hard... But my great-
grandmother gave me the scroll!" Tsuna spoke, barely containing her
enthusiasm. She knew how important it was to get that scroll.
"Really? That's great! Where is it?" Minato replied, equally excited. The
possibility of learning the Shadow Clone Jutsu made him eager to start.
"I'm not just going to give you the scroll like that!" Tsuna said, a
mischievous glint in her eyes. She couldn't help but have a little fun with
the situation.
"What? Why?" Minato asked, his expression becoming a mix of surprise
and suspicion. "Because we're going to train together!" Tsuna revealed
with a small smile. She knew that training together would benefit not just
Minato but also help her improve her own skills, and she didn't want to
fall behind Minato after yesterday's fight.
"Hm... okay... I'm fine with that then..." Minato replied, he had nothing
against training with this girl. "Hahaha! You don't think I'll let you
surpass me that easily! Besides, I want you to show me that training of
yours; I still can't believe you beat me like that, we need to have a
rematch!" Tsuna grumbled. Minato nodded in agreement. "Sure, we can
train together. It will be good to have someone to practice with," he said
with a small smile.
"HEY, what are you mumbling over there..." Mikoto spoke from the other
side of Minato, interrupting the conversation and showing her usual
curiosity. "Just training, Uchiha!" Tsuna replied in a slightly displeased
tone.
"Oh? After Minato defeated you, you finally stopped being lazy?" Mikoto
teased, a mocking smile on her lips. "When was I lazy? If you want to
provoke me, at least speak the truth, I'm going to do training that will
knock you down!" Tsuna retorted.
"I want to see that!" Mikoto challenged, clearly amused by the exchange
of barbs. She then turned her attention back to Minato, quickly changing
the subject. "Speaking of training, I have something for you." "For me?"
Minato raised an eyebrow, surprised by the sudden change of focus.
"Yes, take this!" Mikoto extended a box to Minato. Curious, he opened it
and was surprised to see a dozen real kunais inside. "This!" Minato
couldn't hide his surprise and gratitude. The wooden kunais he had been
using were limited and didn't reflect the reality of a ninja combat.
"You keep complaining about using wooden kunais, here's a set for you to
train with!" Mikoto said with a wink, clearly pleased to be able to help
her friend. "How suspicious, you giving a gift to him... You're not
interested in Minato, are you?" Tsuna tried to provoke.
"Unlike you, I don't need to make a bet to give a friend a present!" Mikoto
retorted arrogantly. "What did you say!" Tsuna didn't like that comment
and was ready to respond in kind.
"Hey, calm down... Thank you, Mikoto, this will help me a lot!" Minato
intervened before the discussion between the two escalated further.
After a day full of theoretical and practical lessons, the bell finally rang,
announcing the end of the activities at the academy. Minato and Tsuna
bid farewell to Mikoto and the other classmates. As they left the room,
they went directly to the training site to study the scroll Tsuna had
obtained from Mito with the jutsu created by the second Hokage.
As soon as they arrived at the training field, a familiar and isolated area
surrounded by trees and dense vegetation, both prepared to begin. Tsuna
took out the scroll and carefully unrolled it. The instructions for the
Shadow Clone Jutsu were there, written with detail and precision.
"Are you ready?" Tsuna asked, looking at Minato with a serious
expression. She knew that mastering this technique would not be easy
and would require impeccable concentration and chakra control.
"Always, let's start..." Minato responded.
Tsuna began by explaining the fundamentals of the jutsu, the way the
chakra should be shaped and divided. Minato listened attentively,
absorbing every word. After the explanation, they began to practice,
trying repeatedly to shape their chakra correctly to create a clone with
the crossed finger seal.
In the beginning, their attempts were frustrating. Creating a clone that
was more than a mere illusion was more difficult than they had
imagined. But Minato didn't give up. With each attempt, he adjusted his
technique, learning from his mistakes, and striving to better understand
the jutsu's complexity.
Tsuna, in turn, also tried focusing her chakra with her seal, but she still
had as much difficulty as Minato; she was learning while correcting
Minato when necessary and encouraging him to keep trying. The sun
began to set, casting long shadows over the training field, but the two
children still persisted, driven by determination and the desire to master
the Jutsu.
As night fell and the stars began to appear in the sky, Minato finally
made a breakthrough. With a concentrated effort, he shaped his chakra
more successfully and, to his surprise, a clone collapsed on the ground
appeared beside him. "What is this?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tsunade
began to laugh at Minato's small clone; it was a copy of the clone Naruto
created in the first episode, if that could even be called a clone. "That was
terrible..." Minato had to admit, looking at his clone.
They tried for a while longer, but they reached their limits, exhausted but
not discouraged; they finally agreed to end the training for that day.
"Let's try again tomorrow. It's our day off from the academy, so we'll have
the whole day to practice," Tsuna suggested.
Minato nodded in agreement, seeing that it was pointless to continue and
everything was dark. "Tomorrow, without a doubt, we'll make more
progress," he said, confidence in his voice bringing a smile to Tsuna's
face.
The next day, with a break from the academy, both met at the same
training field in the morning. The sun was still low in the sky, casting a
soft light over the forest. They began immediately, picking up where they
had left off and striving even harder to master the technique.
"I did it!" Tsuna was the first to make a clone.
Finally, as the afternoon progressed, Minato made a new attempt to form
a clone. He shaped his chakra with precision, and this time, a stable and
solid clone appeared beside him. The clone stood firm, an almost perfect
mirror of Minato, before dissipating calmly.
"You did it, Minato! I knew you could!" she exclaimed, running to hug
him in a spontaneous gesture of celebration.
Minato, surprised by the hug, hesitated for a moment before
reciprocating, a genuine smile forming on his face. "Thank you, Tsuna. I
think we finally managed to master it!" he said.
"Shall we start sending clones to school now?" Tsuna asked curiously.
"I don't think that's a good choice; we might have only been able to
create these clones because we have more chakra than the other children,
but it's still risky for a newly learned technique. Maybe at the beginning
of the year, what do you think? Our chakra will be more stable to leave
the clone in class while we train somewhere else." Minato suggested and
Tsuna nodded, understanding the situation.
"I think you're right, but I want to see the face of that Uchiha when she
finds out that who's beside her are just clones. Hahahaha!" Tsuna had a
devilish face at that moment.

19. Chapter 19
[Chapter Size: 1300 Words.]
Third Person POV
Training Camp, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
In the last months of the year, Minato's routine solidified into a
continuous cycle of what he had been doing all year. Each morning, he
would rise before the sun to train his body before heading to the
academy. He continued to attend the academy, where his skills visibly
improved, and his classmates and teachers began to recognize the boy's
growing competence in areas where he had been weak. He quickly began
to outperform everyone in circuits with physical tests, and his body
rapidly adapted to any challenge. His kunai accuracy shot up from 40%
to 70% after he began training with the real kunais that Mikoto gifted
him. In the tests with the rings, Minato dominated the class, almost never
losing a duel since he activated his observation haki. It wasn't a surprise
how everyone was stunned by how the boy could simply predict all the
opponents' attacks, even in blind spots, making even the Hyuga brothers
of the class, Hiashi Hyuga and Hizashi Hyuga, ask if Minato had his own
byakugam. Even the arrogant Uchihas couldn't escape their defeats
against the civilian's incredible prediction ability, making him the
number one student when neither Tsuna nor Mikoto could defeat him.
Minato had changed from the odd civilian to the rookie of the year,
surpassing all the future leaders of the clans.
But Minato didn't limit his dominance to just the academy. The training
field in the forest became a second home for him. He spent hours there,
tirelessly working on his chakra control, perfecting the Shadow Clone
Jutsu, and advancing in the mastery of Observation Haki even when it
got dark, he was still training. With each passing day, he became more
agile, stronger, and more attuned to the world around him.
In these training sessions, Tsuna became a frequent visitor. She
participated in his training sessions, even risking doing the strange
training of running blindfolded in the forest, but that didn't end very well
for her in the first weeks and she ended up giving up that training,
limiting herself to just fighting Minato in their sparrings that they did all
the time.
Minato and Tsuna seemed to have developed something more over time,
even though neither admitted it, there was something growing between
the two, as they spent every day together in recent months. Mikoto was a
girl who wanted to be with them, but her clan prohibited any training
done outside of the clan, so her visits were very limited.
With the freedom of Minato and Tsuna together, they laughed, shared
stories and challenges, and occasionally competed in friendly training
fights. Tsuna, in turn, was developing her own abilities, perfecting the
hereditary techniques of the Senju clan, and exploring new areas of ninja
knowledge, such as medical ninjutsu, inspired by her mother, Tsunade, in
the following months.
That day, the training field in the forest was a scene of effort,
determination, and friendly rivalry. While tensions between neighboring
nations grew and rumors of imminent conflicts spread through Konoha,
Minato and Tsuna continued to focus on their development, preparing for
whatever the future brought.
Minato and Tsuna had spent the last hours in intensive training,
practicing their techniques, improving their reflexes, and testing each
other. It was a routine that had become familiar but never monotonous,
each session bringing new challenges and learning opportunities.
"I give up!" Tsuna's voice, mixed with exhaustion and a hint of
frustration, echoed through the open space. She fell to the ground,
breathing heavily, looking at Minato with an expression that had more to
say.
"Already, Tsuna? You gave up quicker than yesterday..." Minato
commented, a playful smile on his lips, but his eyes showed genuine
concern for his friend.
"You have a damn weird ability that can predict all attacks, that's not
fair!" Tsuna murmured, referring to Minato's Observation Haki, an ability
he had developed and perfected over the months.
"You shouldn't say that, you have an incredible lineage in your veins,
you're the second-best student in the class," Minato replied.
"I'm not the first, even though I'm satisfied to show that Uchiha that I'm
the best, I'm not the first in the class, Minato! My great-grandfather was
the First Hokage! I should be more than this!" Tsuna exclaimed, standing
up abruptly.
Minato looked at Tsuna, his blue eyes reflecting a deep understanding.
He knew how difficult it was for her to deal with the expectations and
pressure of being the great-granddaughter of the First Hokage. "Tsuna,
you're amazing just the way you are. You don't need to be first in
everything to prove your worth. Your great-grandfather would be proud
to see the kunoichi you're becoming."
"I'm sorry for that, I shouldn't be talking to you like this, it's just that two
members of the Senju clan died on a mission yesterday..." She murmured
with a bit of sadness.
"Died?" Minato repeated with a concerned look, already imagining what
might have happened.
"Yes, the Senju clan is disappearing, Minato. There are only a few of us
left, even assuming my mother's name, I'm still worried. I should be
stronger..." Tsuna murmured, her voice laden with a mix of sadness and
determination.
"Being strong is good, Tsuna, but don't let it consume you..." Minato
spoke, placing a hand on her shoulder in a gesture of comfort and
continued his speech.
"If it's to protect those you love, it's important, but don't let it spoil your
relationships. Get strong, but always keep people around who can
celebrate your strengthening together." Minato's words were sincere,
inspired by what Naruto might say to someone at this moment. "I think
you're right... thank you, Minato..." She murmured, a slight blush of
gratitude and shyness coloring her cheeks.
"You should... Hm?!" The intimate conversation was abruptly interrupted
by sudden danger. Kunais flew towards them from the surrounding
forest. Minato, reacting instinctively, drew a kunai and defended himself
and Tsuna from the projectiles.
*Metallic Sound* *Metallic Sound*
The metallic sound of impacts echoed through the air, a sharp reminder
of the dangerous world they lived in.
"Oh? You're good," an unknown voice commented from the forest, and an
older boy, apparently about 12 years old, emerged from the shadows of
the trees. His presence was imposing, and there was a glint of challenge
in his eyes.
"Nawaki!? What are you doing here?!" Tsuna expressed her surprise and
slight discomfort at seeing her uncle suddenly appear after attacking
Minato.
"What? I just came to see if my niece is alright! There have been many
deaths in our clan, and you're here until this time. How can I not be
worried?" Nawaki responded.
Tsuna knew that Nawaki had good intentions but felt a bit suffocated by
the constant protection. "I think I have to go..." she turned to Minato with
an apologetic look, indicating that their training together would have to
be interrupted.
"It's okay, it's already dark," Minato replied with understanding but kept a
watchful eye on Nawaki.
"Don't forget to come to class tomorrow. It will be our last day," Tsuna
reminded Minato, who nodded in agreement.
"Is he your boyfriend? I heard he's the number 1 rookie of your class,"
Nawaki asked as he walked away with Tsuna from the site.
"He's not my boyfriend!" Tsuna responded promptly, a bit flushed by
Nawaki's assumption.
Meanwhile, Minato walked away, leaving Tsuna and Nawaki behind. He
reflected on the last day of the year approaching. It was a day when not
only parents would be watching their children but also future teachers,
masters, and maybe even members of the high ranks of Konoha like the
Hokage himself. Everyone would be assessing the abilities and potential
of the first-year students.
Minato was prepared to break all the academy's records the next day, as
was naturally expected of him.

[Chapter Size: 1500 Words.]
Third Person POV
Training Camp, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
On the last day of school, the Konoha Ninja Academy was filled with an
unusual energy and anticipation. The first-year Class A, known for having
the most exceptional students of the year, was the center of attention,
and the presence of a crowd of spectators — proud parents, respected
ninjas, and important figures from the Konoha clans — only increased
the tension and excitement.
The morning began with a summary of the lessons taught throughout the
year by Professor Fuuma. He went through a detailed review, ensuring
that the fundamentals were firmly established in each student's mind.
Then, all the students were given a written test, which they completed
quickly as their theoretical exam for the year.
During the break, Minato was surprised to see Madame Gorete
accompanied by some students from other classes. She approached him
with a warm smile and words of encouragement. "Minato, you will have
an important test this afternoon. I heard that the Hokage himself will
appear, so good luck to you." Minato thanked her, feeling a mix of
gratitude for the woman who had always taken care of him.
The academy courtyard began to fill even more. In addition to the
parents and clan members, Jonins began to infiltrate the crowd, their
presence signaling the importance of the day. And then, with an entrance
befitting his status, the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, arrived. His presence
immediately attracted everyone's attention, and he gathered the crowd
for a speech.
Minato, while somewhat respecting the Hokage, felt a certain boredom
during the speech. He was more interested in locating his friends. Mikoto
was somewhere with her clan, the Uchihas displaying their usual pride.
Tsuna was next to her parents, listening intently to the words of the
Hokage. The speech, filled with words of encouragement and hope,
ended with respectful applause from the crowd.
After the speech, while some students returned to their classrooms, Class
A remained in the courtyard. It was time for the practical tests, and all
the spectators were eager to see the young ninjas' skills in action. Minato
felt some of the pressure and expectation, but also a firm determination.
He had prepared for this moment, and now was the time to show the
results of his hard work.
Quickly the children were called for the first test, while all others took a
place as spectators on the platform set up for the viewers. Among the
spectators, the Jonins and the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, watched with
keen interest, ready to witness the potential of the new generation of
ninjas. The academy courtyard had been transformed into a complex
training field, with various testing stations set up under the supervision
of Professor Fuuma and other experienced Chuunins who took care of the
boys' evaluations.
The first test of the day was the obstacle course. The students were called
in groups, each positioning themselves at the starting line with a mix of
nervousness and determination. The circuit in front of them was a series
of physical challenges designed to test their agility, speed, and strength.
As soon as everyone lined up, the teacher gave the signal to start the test.
"Begin!" With the command from one of the teachers, the group of
students took off. They ran, jumped, and climbed with all they had, each
trying to outdo the others and, more importantly, overcome their own
limits.
Minato, with his usual calm and focus, quickly took the lead. He moved
with a grace and efficiency that set him apart from the others. Even
without using chakra to enhance his performance, his natural speed and
agility were evident. He climbed the walls with ease, jumped the pits
with precision, and maneuvered through the nets as if he were dancing.
"That boy... He's the famous Minato Namikaze, the civilian who entered
Class A?" a Jonin questioned, watching Minato overcome the obstacles
with a skill rarely seen in someone his age or someone using only their
physical strength without chakra to enhance their power.
"Interesting... He's not even using chakra, but his body is naturally very
fast..." another evaluator commented, impressed with Minato's
performance. Murmurs of admiration spread among the observers, many
of whom were now focused exclusively on the young Minato.
Hiruzen, the Hokage, watched with a keen and thoughtful gaze. "Hokage-
Sama, we have good fruits this year," one of the Jonins commented
beside him.
"It's true... I cannot deny that..." Hiruzen replied, his gaze still fixed on
Minato. He saw a talented young man with a bright future ahead.
As Minato crossed the finish line, a wave of applause and exclamations of
surprise ran through the crowd. He had completed the circuit in an
impressive time, setting a high standard for the other students.
On a rooftop near the academy, a figure watched the unfolding events
attentively. It was a man with white hair, looking at Minato with an
interest that went beyond the casual. His eyes followed every movement
of the young student, analyzing and evaluating with the precision of an
experienced ninja. "Good job, boy..." he murmured to himself, a slight
smile forming on his lips as he assessed Minato's potential.
Then the first stage ended with Minato claiming first place, an impressive
result for a civilian amidst so many renowned clans.
"Let's move on to the second stage. Kunai throwing," announced Professor
Fuuma, taking charge of this part of the test. He instructed the children
to prepare, distributing kunais and designating targets.
One by one, the students threw their kunais, aiming to hit the center of
the targets positioned in front of them. The evaluators watched closely,
quickly noting the results. As expected, members of the Uchiha clan
proved particularly proficient at this task, their natural abilities and
intensive training quickly taking the lead in the group.
"It seems the boy isn't so good with kunais..." commented a Jonin,
noticing that Minato wasn't among the best in this stage.
"This is his first year, remember he's a civilian who's never received
formal training. You should give some credit to the boy..." a Chuunin
murmured at his side, defending Minato's effort and progress.
Minato, for his part, had hit 70% of the targets, a result that placed him
in twelfth place. It wasn't the best, but for him, who had spent a year
striving and training, it was a satisfactory outcome and a starting point
for future improvements. He nodded to himself, already planning how he
would surpass this result next year.
As the kunai test came to an end, the atmosphere in the ninja academy
became electric, with palpable excitement and anticipation among both
students and audience. The most awaited moment of the day had finally
arrived: the fights in the ring. It was time for each student to prove their
worth not just in physical and technical skills, but also in strategy,
adaptability, and emotional control under the watchful eyes of the
spectators.
Students, one by one, were called to the center of the ring, each name
announced generating murmurs and expectations. The fights promised to
be the highlight of the day, a spectacle of young developing skills. Some
of the first fights announced were:
Tsuna Senju vs. Mikoto Uchiha: A confrontation that already promised to
be one of the most exciting fights of the day, pitting two of the most
talented kunoichis against each other, representatives of legendary and
rival clans.
Shikaku Nara vs. Inoichi Yamanaka: A battle of intellects and strategies, a
clash that would bring to the fore the sagacity and creativity
characteristic of these clans.
Chōza Akimichi vs. Hiashi Hyuuga: Strength against precision, brute
power challenging the skill of control and keen vision. A duel of opposite
styles, but equally respected.
Ibiki Morino vs. Kaito Aburame (OC): Ibiki, with his ambition to become
a competent Jonin, would face Kaito, a representative of the enigmatic
Aburame clan with their insect-based techniques.
Hizashi Hyuuga vs. Arata Sarutobi (OC): Hizashi, with his Byakugan
ability, against Arata, a promising young member of the Sarutobi clan
known for their tenacity and potentially fire-related skills.
Other fights also promised to be exciting:
Gurin Uchiha vs. Ryohei Inuzuka (OC):The clash between the refined
technique of the Uchiha clan and the ferocity of the Inuzuka clan.
Tsume Inuzuka vs. Haruto Kurama (OC): The agility and savagery of
Tsume would face the creativity and illusory powers of Haruto, a young
talent from the Kurama clan known for their genjutsu skills. This
confrontation would test not just physical strength but also mental
endurance and the ability to adapt to unexpected strategies.
And, finally, the duel that many awaited with great anticipation:
Minato Namikaze vs. Akame Uchiha: The talented civilian, known for his
ambitions and notable skills, would face Akame, a member of the
prestigious Uchiha clan. All eyes would be on this confrontation, to see
how the young Minato would fare against such a formidable opponent.
All the spectators watched attentively for the unfolding of these fights.

Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
"Tsuna Senju vs. Mikoto Uchiha! Please... Enter the ring!" One of the
examiners took the paper and asked the girls to step into the circle under
everyone's watchful eyes for the first fight.
The atmosphere in the Konoha academy was electrifying. The chatter
stopped, and all eyes were fixed on the central ring. It was the moment
many had been eagerly awaiting: the fight between Tsuna Senju and
Mikoto Uchiha. Two young kunoichis, both with powerful heritages and
promising futures, were about to face off.
After the Chuunin called their names, the two girls stood up. Tsuna, with
her confident and determined posture, walked to the ring displaying the
characteristic strength of the Senju clan. Her fists were clenched, ready to
defeat her year-long rival. Mikoto, on the other hand, displayed an
almost disconcerting calm, a serenity that hid the agility and precision
the Uchiha family was known for.
As soon as they faced each other, the examiner started the fight, "Begin!"
announced the referee.
Tsuna advanced first, her movements powerful and direct. She sought to
close the distance quickly, aware that her strength was her greatest
advantage. With each step, she tried to impose her presence, as if to say
that the legacy of the First Hokage ran in her veins.
Mikoto, however, was not intimidated. She danced around Tsuna, her
movements fluid and graceful, a battle dance that confused and
frustrated her opponent. With each of Tsuna's thrusts, Mikoto glided to
the side with the elegance of a leaf in the wind, her agility was her
weapon, and she used it masterfully.
Tsuna's strikes were strong, each one loaded with the intention to end the
fight. But Mikoto was always a step ahead, anticipating and avoiding, her
mind as quick as her feet. But Tsuna's patience was not infinite, and with
each of Mikoto's dodges, her frustration grew.
"You are not Minato, you can't run forever!" Tsuna shouted, launching an
even more fierce attack.
"I don't intend to," replied Mikoto, her calm voice contrasting with the
intensity of the fight.
And then, in a move that surprised all who were watching, Mikoto
stopped retreating. Instead, she advanced, meeting Tsuna's strength with
her own speed and precision. It was a clash of styles, a collision of
legacies.
The two kunoichis clashed in the center of the ring, the sound of their
blows echoing like little thunders. Tsuna, with her brute strength,
delivered powerful blows that promised to end the fight with a single hit.
On the other hand, Mikoto, with her feline agility, dodged and counter-
attacked with precise and quick strikes, aiming to unbalance her
opponent.
The fight was tied, each one exploring the weaknesses and resisting the
strengths of the other. Tsuna launched a powerful punch that Mikoto
dodged at the last second, responding with an agile kick that Tsuna
barely managed to block. The spectators were on the edge of their seats,
amazed at the skill and determination of the young children.
"This won't be easy," Tsuna whispered, panting, but with a glint of
challenge in her eyes.
"I expected no less from you," Mikoto replied, equally panting, but
smiling. "But I am not going to lose!"
They stepped back and, almost as if they had agreed, charged at each
other with everything they had. Tsuna with a determined yell, Mikoto
with concentrated silence. Their fists were on the way to a clash that
would decide the fight.
However, at the last moment, both attempted a risky maneuver. Tsuna
used her strength to try to throw Mikoto out of the ring, while Mikoto
used her agility to try to dodge and counter-attack. The result was
unexpected: both lost their balance and fell out of the ring almost at the
same time.
The referee looked surprised, trying to determine who had fallen first,
but it was impossible. The onlookers exchanged glances and nodded to
each other.
"Technical draw!" announced the referee, raising his hands to signal the
outcome.
The audience burst into applause. Some were disappointed not to have a
clear winner, but most were thrilled by the skill and fighting spirit the
two girls had shown.
Tsuna and Mikoto got up, both a bit surprised but satisfied with the
outcome. They exchanged a look of mutual respect.
"Good fight," said Tsuna, extending her hand.
"You too," replied Mikoto, shaking Tsuna's hand.
"But next year, I will win," Tsuna declared.
"We'll see about that…" Mikoto responded with a hint of arrogance.
As Tsuna and Mikoto left the ring, the buzz of the crowd was still alive
with comments and discussions about the fight they had just witnessed.
The examiner, a man with a firm posture and attentive gaze, called the
audience's attention back to the present with his clear and authoritative
voice. "The next fight will be between Shikaku Nara and Inoichi
Yamanaka. Please, enter the ring!"
The conversations quieted down, and all eyes turned back to the fighting
area. Shikaku, known for his intelligence and tendency toward laziness,
slowly rose from his place. He yawned openly, showing an apparent lack
of interest, but his eyes were sharp and observant. Inoichi, on the other
hand, stood up with an energy and enthusiasm that strongly contrasted
with Shikaku's relaxed attitude. He was known for his ambition and
desire to learn more and more.
Both boys positioned themselves, Shikaku with his hands in his pockets, a
casual posture that some might interpret as disinterest, but those who
knew him understood it was just his way of being ready for anything.
Inoichi, more upright and focused, analyzed his opponent, trying to
anticipate the moves and strategies he might employ.
"Begin!" announced the referee, and the fight started.
Shikaku was the first to act, moving with a laziness that belied his intent,
trying to corner Inoichi with a move that seemed casual but was
calculated. Inoichi, however, was not easily fooled. He responded with a
series of maneuvers aiming to unbalance Shikaku.
It was a cat-and-mouse game, each trying to anticipate and counter the
other's moves. As the fight between young Shikaku and Inoichi unfolded,
it was clear that, despite their young age, both had a remarkable
understanding of tactics and strategies. Shikaku, with his casual posture
and hands in his pockets, advanced with a calculated slowness, each step
a test for Inoichi's defenses. Inoichi, energetic and focused, responded
with quick and decisive movements, trying to find a gap in Shikaku's
seemingly relaxed defense.
The fight continued, each boy anticipating and reacting to the other's
moves. Shikaku, with his sharp intelligence, made lazy moves that
concealed his true intention of cornering Inoichi. Inoichi, in turn, used
his energy and enthusiasm to keep Shikaku moving, seeking to tire him
out and create an opportunity for a decisive blow.
As they progressed, fatigue began to show. Shikaku, realizing that
Inoichi's energy and vigor might overcome his strategy of patience, began
to reconsider his plan. Inoichi, sensing Shikaku's hesitation, pressed even
harder, his eyes shining with the prospect of an imminent victory.
Finally, after an intense cat-and-mouse game, Shikaku found himself
cornered, Inoichi's cunning and relentless energy prevailing. With a sigh
of resignation and a smile acknowledging his friend's skill, Shikaku
stepped back and admitted defeat. "You won, Inoichi," he said.
"I won!" Inoichi cheerfully celebrated, and many spectators clapped for
him.
"The next fight will be between Chōza Akimichi and Hiashi Hyūga.
Please, enter the ring!"
The crowd stirred with renewed anticipation. First, Chōza Akimichi made
his entrance, his imposing and confident figure immediately capturing
everyone's attention. Known for incredible physical strength and abilities
that represent the tradition of his clan, he walked with an air of
determination and serenity, ready to face his opponent.
Next, Hiashi Hyuuga entered the ring with calm grace and piercing eyes.
His posture and sharp gaze reflected his dexterity and the perfect control
he possessed over his abilities. Representing the prestigious Hyuuga Clan,
he emanated a silent confidence and an aura of intensity that promised a
memorable fight.
As the two ninjas positioned themselves face to face, the anticipation was
palpable. Chōza with his brute strength and Hiashi with his lethal
precision, both at the age of 6, were ready to prove their abilities and
honor their clans. The examiner stepped back, and silence took over the
arena. All eyes were fixed on the center, waiting for the start of a fight
that promised to be an incredible display of power and technique.
As the examiner retreated, a tense silence fell over the arena. Chōza and
Hiashi, despite being only six years old, faced each other with the
seriousness of seasoned veterans. Chōza, with his size and impressive
strength, even for his age, took the initiative, advancing with firm and
determined steps towards Hiashi.
Hiashi, in turn, remained motionless, his penetrating eyes watching every
move of Chōza. As Chōza was about to reach him, Hiashi dodged with
agility, his lightness contrasting with Chōza's brute force. The crowd
watched, fascinated by the dexterity and speed of the young Hyuuga,
who dodged Chōza's advances with surprising grace.
Chōza, undiscouraged, attempted several times to hit Hiashi with quick
and powerful blows, each capable of changing the course of the fight if
connected. But Hiashi, with an almost supernatural perception,
anticipated and avoided each attack, his calm expression never wavering.
Then, in a defining moment of the fight, Hiashi did something
extraordinary. With a focused look and deep breath, he activated his
Byakugan, a feat rarely seen in someone his age that left everyone
stunned. His eyes took on a new intensity, the veins around them
becoming visible as he looked directly at Chōza.
With the Byakugan activated, Hiashi clearly saw Chōza's chakra points,
predicting his movements with even more precision. He began to
counter-attack, each move calculated to avoid direct contact while
targeting points that would reduce Chōza's strength and mobility. The
young Akimichi felt the pressure, his attacks becoming more desperate as
he struggled to keep up with the precision and agility of his opponent.
Finally, with a quick and precise move, Hiashi struck a crucial point,
causing Chōza to stagger and fall to his knees. The silence was deafening
as everyone absorbed what had just happened. Hiashi, with his Byakugan
still active, offered Chōza a look of respect and a hand to help him stand.
Chōza accepted the help, his face showing a mix of disappointment and
admiration. The examiner announced Hiashi as the winner, and the
crowd erupted in applause and exclamations. Despite his young age,
Hiashi Hyuuga had demonstrated remarkable skill and the promise of
becoming an exceptional shinobi, bringing honor and prestige to his clan
as a member of the main family.

Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
As the previous battle reached its impressive conclusion, the arena was
filled with murmurs and exclamations. "Incredible! Byakugan at this
age?" a voice stood out among the spectators, clearly amazed by Hiashi's
early ability. Admiration was palpable, surprise and respect mingling in
the words echoing through the space.
A Jonin, with an assessing and experienced gaze, nodded in agreement,
adding his voice to the conversation. "The future of the Hyuuga clan
looks promising with a young one like this," he stated, his words
conveying not only an assessment of Hiashi's potential but also a
prediction of what his growth could mean for the clan.
Around the arena, various members of the Hyuuga clan, with their
characteristic eyes and dignified postures, nodded in approval. Looks of
satisfaction and a hint of pride adorned their faces as they considered
Hiashi not only as a talented young individual but also as a future leader,
someone who could one day stand out as a patriarch of the clan,
especially considering his direct lineage from the main branch.
Even the Hokage, observing from his honored position, expressed his
acknowledgment. "A promising young one, indeed," he murmured, a
slight smile outlining his words. His confirmation served as a seal of high
expectations and belief in Hiashi's potential.
As this exchange took place, the focus began to shift to the next battle.
"Now, step forward, Ibiki Morino of the Morino clan versus Kaito
Aburame of the Aburame clan. Competitors, please enter the ring!" the
examiner called, his voice clear, bringing the attention back to the
present.
Ibiki made his entrance with fierce determination, his expression serious
and focused, an image of determination and the ambition of a future
Jonin. His eyes swept the arena, every detail, every shadow and light,
analyzed as possible advantages in his imminent battle. Anticipation
grew among the spectators, all feeling the tension and promise of another
memorable fight.
Shortly after, Kaito Aburame entered, his presence almost enigmatic with
the characteristic hood of his clan covering most of his face. The aura of
mystery surrounding him became more palpable with the subtle, almost
imperceptible buzz of the insects that formed the basis of his techniques.
He stood before Ibiki, the confrontation of their gazes promising an
intriguing battle.
The examiner stepped back, and the arena fell silent, all eyes fixed on the
two young shinobi. "Begin!" he ordered.
The fight began almost instantly. Ibiki advanced, his movements quick
and decisive, but Kaito remained still, a subtle signal from his hand
releasing his insects. In the blink of an eye, a swarm of them enveloped
Ibiki, disorienting him and obscuring his vision. Ibiki struggled to fend
them off, but with each move, Kaito controlled the insects with precision,
anticipating and countering every attempt by Ibiki to break free.
And then, as quickly as it began, it ended. With one final coordinated
move, Kaito's insects struck key points, causing Ibiki to yield. The
examiner quickly announced Kaito as the winner, and the crowd, still
processing the speed and effectiveness of the fight, erupted in applause
and exclamations.
"Let's continue," the examiner began, his voice projecting clearly
throughout the arena. "Next up, Hizashi Hyuuga and Arata Sarutobi, step
forward."
Shortly after, Arata Sarutobi made his entrance. With a confident
demeanor and a gaze reflecting the fiery ambition of his clan, he walked
to the center of the ring, acknowledging Hizashi with a respectful nod.
The examiner took a step back. "Begin!" he declared, and immediately,
the battle commenced.
Hizashi advanced first, his swift and precise strikes a demonstration of
his skill and intense training. Arata, however, was prepared. He skillfully
dodged, his agility allowing him to stay out of Hizashi's reach. With each
move, Arata observed, learned, and adapted, a quality inherent to the
Sarutobi clan.
As the fight progressed, Arata began to take the initiative. With agile
maneuvers and smart use of his surroundings, he started to put pressure
on Hizashi, who, without the Byakugan, struggled to anticipate and react
to the fast and varied attacks.
Finally, at a decisive moment, Arata executed a series of moves that
unbalanced Hizashi, followed by a final strike that brought him down.
Silence fell for a brief moment before the examiner announced Arata
Sarutobi as the winner.
The crowd applauded. "Hokage-Sama, your clan has a great talent,
defeating a Hyuga," a Jonin spoke to the Hokage.
While many members of the Hyuga clan looked grim, others
congratulated the Sarutobi clan.
The examiner appeared with the next matchup. He proclaimed, "Gurin
Uchiha versus Ryohei Inuzuka! Enter the ring!"
Gurin Uchiha entered first, his small stature not diminishing the aura of
determination surrounding him. Even at just six years old and without
the Sharingan, his confidence and training were evident. His eyes
carefully watched the ring, calculating every possible move as he walked
with a seriousness that defied his age.
Next, Ryohei Inuzuka advanced with palpable energy and enthusiasm.
Without a canine companion by his side, he relied on his own innate
fierceness and agility. His expression was fierce, a reflection of his clan's
combative nature, and he bounded back and forth, barely containing his
youthful fervor.
The examiner stepped back, and silence filled the arena. "Begin!" he
ordered.
Ryohei was the first to act, advancing toward Gurin with a series of fast
and unpredictable movements. His actions were wild and instinctive,
attempting to disorient Gurin with his speed and energy.
Gurin, on the other hand, remained calm. He watched, learned, and
adapted to each of Ryohei's moves. With careful and precise steps, he
dodged the attacks, using his intelligence and training to anticipate
where Ryohei would be next. Each defense and counterattack by Gurin
was a demonstration of his innate ability and the training he had
received from his clan.
The fight continued, a test of agility and strategy. Ryohei pressed on with
all the fury and energy of his youth, but Gurin responded with a calmness
and technique that were almost surprising for someone so young. And
then, in a decisive move, Gurin managed to dodge a particularly fast
attack from Ryohei and lightly touched him on the shoulder, a symbolic
but clear gesture, causing his opponent to fall out of the ring.
The examiner announced the end of the fight, declaring Gurin Uchiha the
winner. The crowd applauded, impressed by the young Uchiha's skill and
composure.
"Tsume Inuzuka and Haruto Kurama, please step into the ring!"
Tsume Inuzuka was the first to enter, her energy and determination
radiating throughout the ring. She didn't yet have her canine companion,
but the tenacity and inherent fierceness of her clan were evident in her
posture and fierce eyes. She bounded back and forth, clearly eager to
begin.
Shortly after, Haruto Kurama entered calmly, his presence almost
ethereal in contrast to Tsume's vibrant energy. His clan is known for their
genjutsu ability and creative nature. Haruto walked with serene
confidence, his intelligent and observant eyes analyzing the ring and his
opponent.
The examiner took a step back and gave the signal. "Begin!"
Tsume wasted no time, immediately advancing toward Haruto with
impressive speed. Her movements were fast and direct, each one
reflecting intense training and her clan's fierce nature.
Haruto, on the other hand, remained calm and focused. He began to
execute moves to slow down his opponent. But she was too fast, as she
had been trained by her clan in the arts of Genjutsu, and the agility of the
girl from the Inuzuka clan was faster than he could anticipate.
The fight turned into a game of cat and mouse, with Tsume trying to
overcome Haruto's defenses and Haruto attempting to create an opening
with his physical abilities. With a combination of agility, instinct, and an
impressive understanding of Haruto's tactics, he managed to get close
enough to strike Haruto, signaling the end of the fight.
The examiner announced Tsume Inuzuka as the winner, and the crowd
erupted in applause.
As Tsume and Haruto left the ring, the atmosphere of excitement and
anticipation did not diminish. There were more than a dozen fights left
among all 36 students in Class A who hadn't fought yet.
As the day progressed, the arena witnessed a variety of exciting
matchups. Each fight revealed a new layer of skill and spirit in the young
competitors. Some duels were quick and decisive, while others were long
and tactical, but all showcased their talents for their respective clans.
The techniques varied greatly: some competitors relied on speed and
agility, others on strength and endurance. Some showed promise in
advanced tactical skills, while others surprised with creative and
unexpected moves.
As the sun began to set, casting long shadows over the arena, the
tournament was approaching its climax. The crowd, though tired from
the children's long sequence of fights, grew in excitement and noise. They
knew that the event everyone had been waiting for was about to happen.
"Ladies and gentlemen," announced the examiner, his voice rising above
the crowd. "We have reached the last fight of the day, a matchup that
promises to be one of the most memorable of this tournament. On one
side, we have the number 1 newcomer, Minato Namikaze, who has
demonstrated resilience and growth throughout the year in most tests. On
the other side, Akame Uchiha, a talented young one from one of our most
powerful clans."
A murmur of excitement ran through the crowd as Minato entered the
ring. His expression was calm, but his eyes gleamed with fierce
determination. He was not just a newcomer; he was a shinobi who was
already beginning to stand out, even among his talented peers from
various clans.
Akame Uchiha entered with an almost majestic presence and an arrogant
gaze. The expectation surrounding his abilities was high, and he carried
that weight with quiet confidence. His eyes, though calm, reflected the
intensity and fire of his clan.
The examiner stepped back. "Let the final fight of this tournament begin!"
he declared.
A tense silence fell over the arena, all eyes fixed on the two young
individuals in the center of the ring.

23. Chapter 23
[Chapter Size: 1400 Words.]
Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
As Minato and Akame, both only 6 years old and in what would be the
final fight of their first year at the academy, entered the ring, the crowd
was eager to see how both would perform. Minato, the number 1 rookie,
had earned an enviable reputation among everyone in the past few
months, although no one knew of his special and unique ability in this
world.
Akame, however, had an arrogant look plastered on his face. He was
determined to defeat Minato and prove that he was the best in his class.
He would not allow a nameless civilian to take the place he believed was
his by right.
The examiner, sensing the tension in the air, stepped back and declared,
"Begin!".
Minato immediately took a fighting stance, his expression focused and his
body agile. He was ready to demonstrate his skill and show why he was
considered the number 1 rookie. His confidence was palpable, and the
crowd knew they were about to witness something extraordinary.
As the last and most anticipated fight of the day began, Akame Uchiha,
representing one of the most respected and feared clans, did not hesitate.
With fierce determination shining in his eyes, he advanced toward
Minato with a speed and confidence that could only come from deep
training and an unwavering belief in his abilities. Each of his steps was
charged with clear intent, a promise that he would live up to his clan's
legacy.
The crowd watched, holding their breath, as Akame launched into a
series of quick and precise attacks. But Minato proved to be a formidable
opponent. Somehow, he anticipated and dodged Akame's attacks with a
grace and precision that defied understanding.
Spectators exchanged looks of surprise and admiration. "How can he do
this...?" ninjas around murmured among themselves, unable to
understand how Minato could predict each of Akame's moves without the
aid of a famous doujutsu from some special clans. Curiosity and
astonishment spread through the crowd like waves, all fascinated by
Minato's apparent foresight of Akame's movements.
The Hokage, with his calm expression, yet clearly impressed, watched
every detail of the fight. Beside him, a jonin, unable to contain his
curiosity, questioned: "Hokage-Sama, can you tell how the boy is doing
this?"
The Hokage turned slowly, his gaze still fixed on the fight. "I am as
surprised as everyone," he began, his voice reflecting his amazement and
admiration. "I heard that the boy might do something similar from his
teachers, but seeing it in person is truly astonishing. The boy is predicting
the attacks without even looking at his opponent. He seems to have an
exceptional mastery of his perception and instincts, almost as if he could
sense the young Uchiha's intentions before they materialize."
Minato switched from defense to attack, pressing the Uchiha and making
him retreat at that moment.
As Minato dodged and counter-attacked with a skill that defied logic, the
confusion and fascination among the spectators grew.
"He's using that ability again..." Tsuna spoke with crossed arms among
the other children.
"It's like he has my clan's Sharingan. But it's strange..." murmured Mikoto
Uchiha, her forehead furrowed in confusion each time she looked at
Minato in the ring. She was not alone in her thoughts; many around
began to whisper comparisons, trying to understand the source of
Minato's almost supernatural ability.
While Akame launched a series of quick and precise attacks, Minato
responded with agility and foresight, counter-attacking the Uchiha and
making him receive hits from Minato.
Applause and exclamations of admiration echoed through the arena, the
crowd vibrating with each fluid and precise movement of Minato. He was
the favorite in this fight. However, Akame Uchiha, refused to be
overshadowed. Feeling the pressure of the fight and the need to respond
to Minato's exceptional skill, he did something no one expected. With a
burning determination and intense focus, he activated his Sharingan, a
tomoe standing out in his red eyes. A murmur of surprise immediately
swept through the crowd, gazes fixing on Akame's intense and shining
eyes.
"The Sharingan..." Minato murmured, his eyes fixed on the determined
visage of the young Uchiha before him. The recognition in his voice was
mixed with a hint of surprise.
"See, civilian, this is the power of the Uchiha clan, the power that will
defeat you!" Akame exclaimed, his confidence inflated by the activation
of his Sharingan. The determination in his voice and the glint in his eyes
revealed a deep pride in his legacy and abilities.
The crowd reacted with surprise and admiration. "At just 6 years old, he
activated the Sharingan? That's incredible!" a spectator exclaimed, their
voice laden with shock and admiration.
"Indeed, impressive for an Uchiha, as expected from this clan..."
commented the Hokage, a subtle acknowledgment in his voice. Though
his words were calm, there was a certain gleam in his eyes.
Meanwhile, among the members of the Uchiha clan, surprise was mixed
with satisfaction. Many looked at Akame with newfound regard, while
others, already aware of his potential, nodded with quiet pride, seeing in
him a potential elite shinobi of the clan.
With the Sharingan active, Akame now possessed supernatural vision. He
began to read and anticipate Minato's movements with a precision that
rivaled Minato's intuitive ability. The fight, once dominated by Minato's
agility and foresight, now became a balanced clash of extraordinary
skills.
Spectators followed with wide eyes, the tension and excitement growing
with each movement. Both young fighters were now on equal footing,
each using their unique abilities to outdo the other, the blows and
counterblows occurring at an impressive speed.
Minato, feeling the pressure of Akame's Sharingan, murmured to himself,
acknowledging his opponent's skill. "My Haki is even better than your
Sharingan, but he has a far superior style of taijutsu than me, this is
getting bad for me, I need to end the fight as quickly as possible..." As he
dodged a kick from Akame, his eyes sought an opening, a moment to
reverse the tide of the battle that now balanced precariously on the edge
of a thread.
Each moment a testament to the talent and potential of two of the most
promising young fighters of the year. As the battle between Minato and
Akame intensified, the crowd watched, completely captivated. Akame
moved with lethal precision, his red eyes tracking every movement of
Minato, anticipating and responding with quick and accurate physical
blows.
"Damn it... How can he compare to my Sharingan?" Akame couldn't help
but murmur in frustration as the fight continued to be balanced.
Minato, in a spectacle of agility and grace, danced around Akame as if he
were as light as air. His movements were a blur to the onlookers, fluid
and unpredictable, each step and dodge so harmonious and calculated
that it seemed part of a complex dance. Even in the face of the
Sharingan's predictive power, Minato's ability to sense Akame's intentions
and move accordingly, a mastery he called 'Observation Haki,' allowed
him to be always one step ahead.
Akame, feeling the pressure to maintain his Sharingan active, which
required a constant amount of chakra and focus, launched into a frenetic
assault. Each of his attacks was quick and precise, a determined effort to
corner and defeat Minato. But Minato, with a dexterity that defied belief,
dodged each attack, his form gliding through the ring with the ease and
grace of a leaf in the wind.
Then, in a critical moment, Minato noticed the opening he had been
waiting for. Akame, in his determination to end the fight and under the
strain of maintaining his Sharingan, became slightly more predictable.
Minato, with impressive agility, slid under a particularly aggressive blow.
In a movement swift and lightning-fast, he kicked to the side of Akame's
head, a non-lethal blow but sufficient to make the boy fall unconscious,
ending the fight.
The crowd, which had been held in collective suspense, erupted in
applause and exclamations of admiration and respect.
"Victory for Minato Namikaze!" the examiner announced, his powerful
voice echoing over the clamor of the crowd. That announcement sealed
the outcome of the fight but also marked the beginning of the legend of
Minato Namikaze, a name everyone knew would one day be synonymous
with greatness both within and beyond the village's boundaries.

Third Person POV
Ninja Academy, Konoha, Year 32.
...
...
As the dust from the last fight settled, the crowd's energy shifted from
vibrant excitement to animated and reflective conversation. The day's
fights had ended, and now was the time to analyze the results, discuss the
displayed skills, and ponder the future of these young shinobis.
The spectators, still in their seats, began to discuss among themselves.
"Did you see Minato's agility?" one asked, still impressed. "And Akame's
Sharingan, so young and already so powerful!" another responded.
Groups of Jonins and instructors gathered, speaking in lower tones but
with equal enthusiasm, analyzing the abilities and potential of each child,
making mental notes on how to guide and train them in the coming
years.
"Very impressive for first-year children, the Leaf Village is surely blessed
with this generation." Someone said.
"Interesting is Minato Namikaze, will he break all the academy records in
the coming years?" Another asked curiously.
"A Byakugan and an early Sharingan, it's a year full of talents..."
The Uchihas, in particular, surrounded Akame after he regained
consciousness, impressed with his early activation of his Sharingan at
such an age. Despite his defeat, he was still seen as a prodigy, someone
who would certainly bring great prestige to the clan.
The Hokage, along with other leaders and high-ranking ninjas, remained
a bit longer, discussing what they had witnessed. They talked about how
to cultivate and direct these emerging talents, ensuring that each child
received the proper guidance and training to reach their maximum
potential in the coming years.
As the crowd left the arena, the atmosphere of excitement and
competition gave way to a calm reflection. The children, now free from
the uniforms that marked the intensity and seriousness of the
tournament, began their journey back to their homes, accompanied by
their guardians.
Madame Gorete walked alongside him, observing him with a look that
mixed pride and maternal concern. "You put up a good fight in the end,"
she said, breaking the comfortable silence that surrounded them.
The sun, now touching the horizon, bathed the village in golden tones,
casting long shadows and softening the lines of the day. "I managed to
win in the end, but I was lucky, fighting against the Sharingan is not
easy..." Minato replied modestly.
Madame Gorete smiled, her expression lighting up with admiration and a
touch of pride. "Even so, you received the title of Rookie of the Year,
Minato. I'm proud of you, you have a bright future in your military
career." Her voice was firm but carried a softness that spoke of her
affection for the boy.
"Thank you... But next year I'll do better! I'm going to train all vacation!"
Minato replied, his determination shining through his words, his posture
a reflection of his unwavering will to improve and grow.
Madame Gorete, however, offered a gentle sigh, concerned about the
boy's well-being beyond his abilities as a shinobi. "That's good, but don't
focus only on training, you missed much of your relationships with the
other children at the orphanage this year." She warned him.
Minato knew she was right. Though dedicated to his training, he felt the
growing distance between him and the other children. Besides Tsuna and
Mikoto, with whom he shared mutual respect, he felt an increasing
discomfort in his social interactions with children his age. He was no
longer just a boy and it was uncomfortable to act as such.
As Minato walked back to the orphanage, his mind a web of thoughts and
plans. "I'll train more," he murmured to himself, a silent promise cast into
the evening wind. "I can try now to use my shadow clones, if I have
Tsuna with me, I can improve my taijutsu during the vacation." He
reflected.
"Speaking of physical fighting style, I'm going to look for Day... I need to
strengthen my body to learn the six styles of the navy and Armament
Haki which requires a stronger body to develop these skills... Having him
as a partner despite that he hasn't developed the eight gates, is still very
useful." Minato murmured, hoping to improve his performance even
more for the next year.
As Minato pondered his future, the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, returned to
his tower to end the day with some final paperwork. The tower, a symbol
of leadership and responsibility, was quiet, but this calm was interrupted
by the arrival of an expected, but always intriguing visitor: Danzou
Shimura.
Danzou, with his imposing presence and calculating eyes, entered the
room. "Hiruzen..." he greeted, his tone neutral but carrying layers of
unspoken intention. "I've seen the children," Danzou began, getting
straight to the point.
Hiruzen, aware of the implications, replied calmly but with an
unwavering firmness. "Yes, but as I've already told you, we'll review this
in the coming years." He sat down, his posture reflecting the authority
and wisdom of his position. The ANBU, always vigilant, positioned
themselves discreetly, a constant presence of protection and service
hidden around the room.
"Even so, I want to reserve some of them, especially that Minato
Namikaze," Danzou declared, his voice revealing a specific interest in the
young prodigy.
"Minato is out of the question, as are the future leaders of the clans.
Someone made me reserve Minato, so he won't be able to enter your
division," Hiruzen responded.
Danzou raised an eyebrow, surprised and visibly frustrated. "What? That
was not our agreement. The Root needs talents," he growled.
Hiruzen, however, remained unshakable. "Our most promising talents
need to be nurtured for the benefit of the entire village, not just a single
division. Minato and the others will be fundamental for the future of
Konoha," he declared, ending the conversation with a note of finality that
left little room for argument.
"But I need talents, Hiruzen, I want the best!" insisted Danzou.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, maintained a serious and determined
expression as he faced Danzou. "Yes, and you will have yours, but Minato
won't be part of it," he stated, his voice firm and resolute.
Danzou, in turn, was clearly frustrated. "You saw his abilities, we need to
study them, Hiruzen. No one should predict attacks as he did without a
doujutsu like Sharingan or Byakugan. He even proved superior to that
Uchiha's Sharingan!" He argued, his voice carrying a greed.
Hiruzen, however, remained unmoved. "Yes, but we know nothing about
this ability. So, I won't waste a talented young man with your studies."
Danzou, impatient, tried once more. "Think about it, Hiruzen. The boy
must have some Kekei Genkai in his body, something we can benefit
from!" His insistence revealed a desire to possess and control whatever
power Minato might have.
"My answer is no, Danzou!" Hiruzen raised his voice, a rare tone for him,
who usually maintained his calm. "Jiraiya has taken an interest in the
boy and I've already promised him to him when the young one graduates,
so let's end this matter here!" His decision was final, and there was no
room for further discussion.
"As you wish, Hokage..." Danzou growled, the last word laden with
bitterness as he left the room, but before he exited the door, he turned
back. "And the Uchiha who opened the Sharingan?"
"We'll keep an eye on it, our teacher always said that the Sharingan could
open from trauma, we can't assume a 6-year-old will be the next
Madara." The Third Hokage spoke and Danzou continued walking and
closed the door.
Hiruzen sighed deeply as his old friend left, his thoughts concerned with
the future. "It's just one year... Let's see how they fare until they
graduate..." He murmured, gazing at the moon, pondering the fate of
Minato and the other talented children.
The next day, well before the sun rose, Minato left the orphanage with a
fervent determination. It was December, and he had just over two months
before the start of the next academy year. He was resolved to dedicate
himself entirely to becoming much stronger physically and even to
improve his Haki, if possible.
The child ran to his usual training spot. The world was still quiet, and the
streets were empty, but Minato's heart was full of an unquenchable fire.
He knew the next few months would be crucial in further improving his
strength, wanting to reach new heights!

Third Person POV
Training Camp, Konoha, Year 33.
...
...
The morning was just beginning to lighten, casting a soft glow over the
training field where Minato was already in action. His clothes were
drenched in sweat as he practiced his taijutsu techniques, each kick and
punch echoing with the sound of his concentrated breathing while his
eyes were blindfolded. He was fighting against his own clone while his
copy fought one another with limited vision, relying solely on his unique
ability.
His goal was clear: to become stronger, faster, more resilient. As he
moved at an almost frantic pace, while battling his clone, a figure
approached silently from where Minato was fighting his clone. Tsuna,
with her blond hair gently swaying in the cold January wind, watched
Minato for a moment before calling out to him. "Minato! Stop this fight!"
she called out cheerfully.
Surprised, Minato interrupted his training with his clone, removing the
blindfold, dispelling the shadow clone, and turning to find Tsuna holding
a box wrapped with a simple yet elegant bow. His face expressed a mix of
surprise and curiosity. "Tsuna? What are you doing here so early?"
Tsuna stepped forward, a shy but warm smile on her face. "I know you
probably forgot, but today is January 25th... your birthday." She
extended the box to him. "I wanted to be the first to give you a present."
Minato was visibly surprised, his eyes widening a bit as he realized the
date. "My birthday? You knew?" He accepted the present, his expression a
mix of gratitude and admiration.
Tsuna's smile was contagious, and the playful light in her eyes reflected
the joy she felt in surprising Minato. "Yes, I picked up the date at the
academy some time ago," she explained, her voice soft and friendly. "You
are always so focused on training that I thought you might have
forgotten." There was a tone of admiration in her words, an appreciation
for Minato's dedication and determination.
Holding the box with an almost ceremonial reverence, Minato felt a wave
of warm emotion flood his heart with his friend doing this for him. It was
rare to receive such gestures of consideration, and Tsuna's surprise
touched him deeply. "Thank you, Tsuna. This... this means a lot to me,"
he murmured, and his voice, usually firm and confident, carried a layer
of emotion that he rarely showed. His words were simple, but the
gratitude he felt was immense and genuine.
With hands following anticipation, he opened the present, and his eyes lit
up to see what was inside. "This... Are these weight seals? Incredible!" he
exclaimed, his surprise quickly turning into enthusiasm as he saw the
papers tinged with Fuuinjutsu. The weight seals were exactly what he
needed to take his training to the next level, a tool he had long desired
but never had the means to acquire, as they were very expensive.
Tsuna laughed, pleased with Minato's reaction. "Yes, you were always
complaining that you needed them. My great-grandmother made them
when I asked," she said, her tone brimming with pride and joy. The
mention of her great-grandmother added an extra layer of meaning to the
gift.
Minato looked at Tsuna, his expression now a mix of surprise and
gratitude. "I... don't know what to say, Tsuna. This will help me a lot," he
said, his words sincere and full of appreciation.
Minato quickly returned to the training spot with the seals placed on his
clothes, leaving behind a stunned Tsuna.
"So, are you going to spend your birthday stuck in more training?" Tsuna
asked a bit dissatisfied.
"Yes...?" Minato responded with a raised eyebrow, ready to recreate the
shadow clone.
"Stop that! Let's go to the river!" Tsuna exclaimed, grabbing Minato by
the arm and dragging him to the nearby stream before he could react.
"Hey, what are you doing bringing me here?" Minato demanded, realizing
he was being dragged away without the ability to react by the Senju girl.
Tsuna pulled Minato with cheerful determination, ignoring his mild
protests. "Today, you're going to do something different, Minato. No
clones, no training. Today, you're going to relax, even if it's just for a
little while," she said, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
As they approached the river, the soft sound of flowing water filled the
air, a calm and steady melody. The sun, now higher in the sky, reflected
off the water's surface, creating sparkling patterns of light. Tsuna released
Minato's arm, pointing to the smooth stones on the bank. "Let's have a
contest to see who can make a stone skip the most times on the water,
my great-grandfather used to do this with his best friend..." she suggested
with a smile, recalling stories she heard about Hashirama with Mito, but
never imagined that best friend would be Madara Uchiha.
Minato looked at her, a bit disconcerted but curious. "Skipping stones on
the river?" he repeated, his voice mixing disbelief and a bit of interest. It
was such a simple activity, so far removed from his rigorous training, it
seemed almost alien.
"Yes!" Tsuna exclaimed, carefully selecting a smooth stone. "Watch, like
this." She demonstrated, throwing the stone with an elegant wrist
movement. The stone bounced several times before sinking, leaving
concentric circles in the water.
Minato watched, the corner of his mouth curving into a half-smile.
'Maybe today is a day to just relax…' He murmured internally. Minato
chose his own stone, feeling its weight and surface. With a focused look,
he threw it, watching it bounce repeatedly on the water. "This is...
strangely satisfying," he admitted, a feeling of relaxation beginning to
take over him.
Tsuna laughed, happy to see Minato engaging in the activity she
suggested. "See? Not everything has to be about training and being the
best. Sometimes, just being, just enjoying the moment, is enough."
They continued, throwing stones, competing in a friendly manner, and
laughing when one or the other made a particularly good or bad throw.
Over time, Minato allowed himself to truly relax, the laughter and the
soothing sound of the water easing the constant tension he usually
carried.
While Minato and Tsuna continued their simple but joyful stone-skipping
contest, a new figure approached the river. It was Mikoto Uchiha.
"So, this is where you two have been all this time..." She murmured,
approaching.
Mikoto walked with quiet elegance, carrying a picnic basket in her arms.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves of the trees danced gently over
her black hair as she approached, a soft smile on her lips.
"I didn't expect to find you two here," Mikoto said, her tone calm and
friendly. She placed the basket on the ground, revealing an array of
snacks, fruits, and refreshments carefully prepared. "I heard it was
Minato's birthday and thought a picnic would be a nice way to celebrate."
Minato looked surprised at Mikoto. "Mikoto, even you knew about my
birthday? You didn't have to bother," he began but was interrupted by
Tsuna.
"Of course she had to! It's your birthday, Minato. Even for an Uchiha,
she's still your friend, isn't she? And today, you're going to enjoy every
moment!" Tsuna exclaimed, clearly pleased with Mikoto's addition to the
small group, despite their usual rivalry.
Mikoto laughed, waving them over to sit around the basket. "Come on,
Minato. Today is a day to relax and have fun, and I'm willing to spend a
day with this Senju to celebrate your birthday. No training, no worries,
just a good time with friends."
Reluctantly, but curiously, Minato joined them, sitting on the soft grass
by the river's edge. As they began to enjoy the snacks, the conversation
flowed naturally, revolving around funny stories from the academy, plans
for the future, and even some friendly teasing. Minato, who usually kept
to himself and focused on his training, found himself laughing and
participating more than he expected with his best friends in the last year.
While Minato, Tsuna, and Mikoto settled around the picnic basket, the
peaceful environment of the river provided the perfect backdrop for an
afternoon of relaxation and camaraderie. Minato, still a bit displaced
from the situation, sat cross-legged listening to the girls holding the seals
won by Tsuna.
Tsuna, always observant, noticed the subtle tension in Minato and
decided to break the ice. She picked up one of the sandwiches prepared
by Mikoto and lightly tossed it towards Minato, hitting him gently on the
arm. "Hey, Minato! You can't eat weight seals. Try this, it's much better!"
she said, laughing.
Minato, caught off guard by the playful act, couldn't help but smile.
Picking up the sandwich, he took a bite and nodded in approval. "You're
right, Tsuna. This is really good," he laughed.
Mikoto, who had been more reserved, watched the interaction with a
slight smile. Deciding to join in, she extended a bowl of fruit to Tsuna
and Minato. "I tried to make something that all of us would like. I think
we need a bit of sweetness after all this talk about training," she
commented.
The conversation flowed more naturally now, with laughter and shared
stories. Tsuna, feeling inspired, proposed a game. "How about we play
'Truth or Dare'? It could be a fun way to get to know each other better,"
she suggested, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Minato and Mikoto exchanged a look, a mix of hesitation and curiosity
on their faces. "Alright, but nothing too extreme," Minato agreed, and
Mikoto nodded, reluctantly agreeing.
The game started innocently enough, with questions about favorite foods
and childhood memories. However, as it progressed, the questions and
challenges became more personal and revealing. This resulted in some
red cheeks admitting some things about Minato from both girls.
As the day came to an end, Minato looked at Tsuna and Mikoto, a feeling
of gratitude and camaraderie filling his heart. "Thank you for today," he
said sincerely. "I didn't realize how much I needed this."
Tsuna smiled, and Mikoto nodded, both feeling a similar connection.
They began to gather their things, preparing to return to the village.

[Chapter Size: 1400 Words.]
Third Person POV
Training Camp, Konoha, Year 33.
...
...
The orphanage was quiet and welcoming, illuminated by soft lights as the
day came to an end. Minato, with thoughts of the meeting he had with
Tsuna and Mikoto, was greeted by an unexpected and warm scene.
Madame Gorete, with a maternal smile and a cheerful laugh, extended to
him a carefully decorated cake as soon as he entered.
"Happy Birthday, Minato!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with affection.
Minato's surprise was evident, his face taking on an expression of shock
and admiration. He didn't expect anything, accustomed to simple or
nonexistent celebrations over the years in his memories, so he was
surprised by this.
"Don't look at me like that, it's your birthday. Congratulations!" Madame
Gorete continued, encouraging him to accept the celebration. The other
children from the orphanage, drawn by the sweet smell of the cake,
joined the chorus. "Happy Birthday, Minato!" one of them said, pulling
the chorus of childish voices that echoed through the room.
"Well... thank you, I guess..." Minato muttered, his voice low but filled
with unexpected gratitude. He was accustomed to being the forgotten
one, the one who trained alone and focused only on becoming stronger.
But there, surrounded by other children and the careful attention of
Madame Gorete, he felt differently in his heart—a sense of belonging and
joy.
The night unfolded with laughter and conversation as everyone ate the
cake. Madame Gorete, always attentive, watched the children with a
satisfied look. As soon as they ate and celebrated, everyone went to bed
with the curfew.
Minato, lying in his bed, couldn't help but smile slightly. The day had
been different from any other birthday he had had. Not only had he spent
the day with Tsuna and Mikoto, his best friends, but he also felt the
warmth and celebration at the orphanage, something he rarely
experienced.
Minato reflected on the last few weeks since the end of the first year at
the academy. He had dedicated himself to refining his chakra, practicing
tirelessly with the leaf on his forehead. He was not yet ready for more
advanced techniques like walking on trees or over water, but he knew his
time would come.
More impressive was his ability with shadow clones. Now, he could
create three, each an extension of himself, training and learning
simultaneously. This technique had become a vital part of his regime,
allowing him to multiply his training time and experience. With the
knowledge that this technique provided him, it was the biggest cheat in
this world, in his opinion.
Thus, Minato went to bed satisfied that night. The training field was
filled the next day with Minato for his training regime again.
However, this day was different. Minato arrived at his training spot and
immediately felt the presence of someone hidden among the trees.
'Since the last day of the academy ended, I have been watched by
someone...', Minato reflected as he did his usual stretches to train as any
other day. His Haki allowed him to sense the hidden presence in the
nearby trees. It was a Chunnin, at least in ability and discretion that he
felt in his senses.
'He might be some agent of Danzou... That damn...', Minato pondered
with a twinge of irritation. He knew of Danzou's ambitions and it
wouldn't be long before that man would be interested in unique abilities
like his, as it was no longer a secret that he had a unique ability.
Deciding not to give these spies the show they desired, Minato put on his
usual blindfold and began his taijutsu training as he would normally.
He moved with blind precision, each punch and kick a dance of strength
and control. The recently added weight seals to his training made each
movement demand more of him, but also made him stronger, more
resilient. He didn't summon his shadow clones, aware of the constant
gaze on him and the B rank jutsu would attract unwanted attention, but
worked with fierce intensity, as if fighting against an invisible opponent.
As the morning gave way to afternoon, Tsuna appeared. Her
announcement of arrival broke the tension in the air, "Minato!" she
greeted, her voice strong and clear cutting through the quiet. She walked
up to him with firm steps, her presence always as imposing as it was
friendly.
"Hello, Tsuna!" Minato greeted her, "Ready for another day of training?"
He said and quickly moved a finger as a sign, making Tsuna slightly raise
an eyebrow and nod discreetly, maintaining her normal expression and
posture, recognizing that signal from Minato. It was a gesture they had
previously agreed on, a sign that they were not alone. Tsuna, always
attentive, immediately grasped its meaning.
They began a small sparring, a routine both were well accustomed to. To
any casual observer, it seemed like just another training session between
two dedicated students. However, beneath the surface, there was a
palpable tension, an awareness that they were being watched.
When the hidden agent finally withdrew, Minato let out a sigh of relief.
"So he's gone..." Tsuna commented, her voice low, a rhetorical question
hanging in the air.
"Yes..." Minato confirmed, his tense expression softening slightly. Tsuna,
noticing the concern on his face, decided to touch on a subject that was
on her mind.
"You know, Minato, you are a skilled sensor. No child should recognize
things like this at your age, no matter how skilled they are. My great-
grandmother said that you must be special." Tsuna murmured, a tone of
admiration mixed with concern in her voice.
"What? You spoke of my abilities to Mito-Sama?" Minato asked, a glimpse
of surprise and a sense of betrayal appearing in his eyes.
Tsuna raised her hands defensively. "Don't get so upset. I had to say we
were being watched, so I had to mention your strange ability that could
recognize an observer from a short distance," she explained as if it were
the most obvious thing to do.
Minato sighed, the frustration disappearing as quickly as it came.
"Whatever, now that he's gone, let's train with clones!" he declared. In an
instant, he formed three shadow clones, while Tsuna, with more chakra
and control, created five.
This was a common scene, thus they spent their days, training together,
developing their skills, and facing challenges in sparring. Over time,
Mikoto also joined them when she could escape the watchful eyes of her
clan.
The weeks of intense training had passed like a blur for Minato and
Tsuna. Each day brought a new challenge, a new opportunity to hone
their skills and strengthen their bond. They had become stronger, faster,
and incredibly synchronized in their movements and strategies. The
atmosphere of friendly competition between them only added fuel to
their determination.
Now, sitting together by the river's edge, skipping stones on the calm
water, they shared a moment of tranquility before the return to their
academic routine. "Ready to go back to class?" Tsuna asked, her stone
bouncing several times before sinking.
"Of course, I'm the top rookie, I intend to keep being that this year too,"
Minato replied with a confident smile. He picked up another stone,
throwing it with his perfected technique to beat the girl at their little
game.
Tsuna laughed, a glint of challenge in her eyes. "Just wait for me to
surpass you, smarty-pants!" she said, delivering a light but surprisingly
powerful punch to Minato's chest. He didn't have time to react, caught off
guard.
"That hurt, you're increasing your strength a lot lately..." Minato
murmured, rubbing the spot she hit. He was impressed, but not surprised.
Tsuna always had incredible potential.
"I've been training with my mom. You have no idea how strong she is,
she broke a stone in front of me with just a punch, it was incredible!"
Tsuna spoke, her admiration and pride for her mother evident in her
voice.
"I believe it, trust me..." Minato replied, thoughtful. He had memories of
Tsunade Senju as one of the most powerful shinobi in Konoha, especially
when she fought with the other kages against Madara.
"You? You never really met her!" Tsuna looked at him with a suspicious
gaze, curious about Minato's familiarity with her mother.
"Well, who doesn't know Tsunade Senju, the disciple of the third
Hokage..." Minato replied, trying to deflect Tsuna's scrutinizing gaze.
"Hm... whatever. It's getting late, I better be going, see you tomorrow.
Bye, Minato!" Tsuna stood up, the energy and joy always present in her
farewell. She ran off, her figure quickly disappearing among the trees.
Minato watched her leave before getting up. The sky was tinged with the
colors of twilight, and he knew it was time to return to the orphanage.
Tomorrow would begin his first day of class in the second year!

27. Chapter 27
Hello everyone, I'm here to pass on some information about some
changes I am making in my publications. First, as I am now working with
double the number of fanfics, 8 in total, I am quite overwhelmed and
having a bit of difficulty in publishing the most recent chapters on my on

Thinking about this, I decided to establish a publication routine to work

finish them all in this same year, before starting new adventures in some
projects I am thinking about for the future.
My new posting routine is as follows, within the timezone of my country.

I will be setting aside every Wednesday (Today), to create drafts so that I
can update all the fanfics according to the day, which I am quite behind
on, as I need to draft and then edit immediately to post on the agreed
day. Sometimes it doesn't come out with the quality I want, so I will start
this method this week. I will release at least one chapter of One Piece to
keep its daily update going.
Note, if you want advance chapters, I am posting on a few hours before
posting on other sites. You can access them for free or contribute to get
extra chapters and sponsor our community receiving access to extra
fanfics and advanced chapters of existing and published stories.

Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 33.
...
...
As the dawn of a new academic day approached, the bustle and
anticipation filled the air at the orphanage. Madame Gorete, always the
maternal and encouraging figure, stood at the door, wishing each child
success and good luck. "Good luck on the first day of school!" she
exclaimed with a warm and genuine smile.
"Yes, Madame Gorete!" came the enthusiastic chorus from the children,
their faces aglow with a mix of nervousness and excitement. Minato,
among the second-year students, was in the midst of the group. He was
not alone; beside him were new students, eager and hopeful after going
through the start-of-the-school-year trials as Minato did last year. Minato
had become a small idol among the younger ones after his achievement
of being first in class A. Now, all the classes at the academy were united
by the shared beginning of another academic year.
Upon arriving at the academy, the familiar buzz of animated
conversations and laughter filled the air with all the children. The
building was as crowded as Minato remembered from the previous year,
with a sea of new and some familiar faces.
As he entered the room indicated on his new schedule, Minato noticed
that despite the small changes in the room, much remained the same. The
students had already occupied their usual places, creating a familiar
pattern of voices and colors as they chatted among themselves. He
headed to the back of the room, his preferred spot, and noticed with a
smile that Mikoto was already there, settled in.
"Hello, Minato!" Mikoto greeted, her smile a rare but sincere expression
of welcome coming from the Uchiha.
"Hello, Mikoto. Is Tsuna late?" Minato asked, looking toward where
Tsuna normally sat, finding only the empty space.
"I'm here!" Tsuna's voice suddenly rang out, and Minato turned in time to
see her emerge from behind a cloth she used to camouflage against the
wall, a typical trick of her mischievous and unpredictable nature. She
advanced for a surprise attack, trying to hit Minato with a quick punch.
Minato, for a moment, was stunned by the similarity of the scene to
something he remembered from another life, a memory of a blonde boy
named Naruto hiding from his pursuers with the same trick in the
original work's first episode. But the surprise soon gave way to instinct,
and he skillfully dodged Tsuna's punch. With an awkward movement, she
lost her balance and fell to the floor.
"Always trying to surprise me, huh, Tsuna?" he teased, as she accepted
the help and got back on her feet.
The classroom, which normally buzzed with the murmur of conversations
and laughter typical of the first day of school, suddenly focused on the
small spectacle provided by the trio. Mikoto, always ready for a sharp
remark, didn't miss the chance to mock Tsuna's failed attempt.
"Hahahahaha! You even made her fall to the floor! I told you it wouldn't
work, Senju..." Mikoto spoke, a mocking laugh accompanying her words.
Tsuna, now standing thanks to Minato's help, shot an annoyed look at
Mikoto before addressing Minato.
"Damn, you and that weird ability!" Tsuna murmured with frustration
over Minato's capacity to always evade her pranks.
"Tsuna, these pranks are dangerous, you could get hurt..." Minato warned
with a concerned expression. He was used to coming out unscathed from
Tsuna's antics, but he didn't want to see her injured.
"I don't want you worrying about me!" Tsuna replied, a blush appearing
on her cheeks as she moved away to sit on the other side, leaving Minato
no choice but to sit between her and Mikoto.
The attention of the class gradually returned to their own conversations,
and Mikoto took the opportunity to question Minato about his plans for
the year. "So Minato, what are your plans for this year?" she asked
curiously.
"Study, train, and get a job, I need some money," Minato replied, his
voice carrying a mix of determination and realism. He knew that the
upcoming year would demand more from him, not just academically, but
also personally.
"Interesting, are you going to start sending clones to school?" Mikoto
asked, intrigued by the strategy Minato mentioned during the holidays.
"Yes, this year it's possible since we'll only have two days of practical
classes per week. I can send clones to attend the theoretical classes, with
the original working or training elsewhere," Minato explained. It was a
bold and risky tactic, but he had carefully considered his options.
"But if you get caught, you could be in trouble, you know that?" Tsuna
intervened, her voice laden with genuine concern.
"I'll only be in trouble if I get caught, Tsuna. So I'll do it without getting
caught," Minato responded, his confidence instilling a respectful silence
in his friends.
"Well, if that's the case, I'll do the same as Minato!" Tsuna replied,
crossing her arms, a spark of challenge in her eyes. The idea of being left
behind was unthinkable to her, always so fierce in her determination to
excel.
"You, Senju?" Mikoto raised an eyebrow, surprised and somewhat
skeptical of Tsuna's declaration.
"Of course, Uchiha. I won't be left behind! You should worry about
yourself since you'll be increasingly left behind by us." Tsuna spoke with
typical arrogance.
"Tsk! You think I won't do it. I'm with you guys, then. I don't know the
shadow clone, but Minato will teach me, and I'll show you that I'm
superior to you, Senju!" Mikoto responded with a firmness that made it
clear she wouldn't accept being underestimated.
"Oh? You're full of yourself, Uchiha..." Tsuna retorted, but before the
conversation could escalate further, Minato intervened.
"Tsuna, let's talk about this later, the teacher is coming in." Minato said
and pointed to the door, where a new instructor entered the room.
The man who entered wore sunglasses and discreet clothing, a marked
change from the more familiar style of Professor Fuuma. "Isn't that
Professor Fuuma, has he been replaced this year?" Mikoto asked,
confirming everyone's surprise.
"Hello everyone, my name is Kuy Aburame, I'll be the chunnin in charge
of you this year. Professor Fuuma is taking care of the first year, I will
take his place this year." the man announced calmly, his voice low but
clear.
"A new teacher... What a drag..." Tsuna murmured, clearly less enthused
by the change.
"He's from the Aburame clan, but he doesn't seem to be as shy as all the
others..." Minato observed. He noticed the classmates from the Aburame
clan, usually reclusive and reserved, appearing equally surprised by the
new teacher.
The first day of Minato's second year at the Konoha academy was marked
by the introduction of a new teacher, Kuy Aburame, whose approach was
noticeably different from that of Professor Fuuma. Without the usual
discussions about dreams and ambitions, the room filled with notes and
focused attention as the teacher shared the theoretical classes of
mathematics and ninja world history that followed, demanding the
students' complete attention.
At the end of the day, Minato headed to his usual training spot. He was
committed to improving his taijutsu and chakra control, and for that, he
used the basic taijutsu scrolls he had acquired at the academy.
"If I have the six styles of the navy, I'll have my own style," Minato
murmured to himself, reflecting on his aspirations and limitations. "But,
for now, I'll have to make do with the basic techniques from the
academy." Despite his closeness to Tsuna, he was aware of the barriers
his lack of affiliation with a powerful clan brought, he would never
achieve a taijutsu style as good as the great clans had and could never
acquire a scroll. He knew that, although his speed and strength were
notable, his techniques were still inferior to those of students from the
great clans.
The next day, committed to his rigorous routine, Minato created a clone
to attend classes in his place, while his original body headed to the
training spot. Hours passed as Minato dedicated himself to training
throughout the day. He alternated between taijutsu exercises and
meditation to improve his chakra control.
At sunset, exhausted but satisfied with the day's progress, Minato
returned to the orphanage. As Minato's clone dispersed, the memories of
the day's theoretical classes flowed into him. Tsuna and Mikoto, though
curious and impressed, still hesitated to use the same strategy as Minato.
But surprised by Minato's audacity, they finally gained the courage
needed to follow in his footsteps. However, before they could implement
the plan, Minato needed to teach Mikoto the shadow clone technique.
The next day, repeating his method, Minato sent another clone to school
while his original body headed to the training spot. Tsuna was already
there, practicing diligently, waiting for him. Together, they dove into an
intense training session, honing their techniques and strength.
As the sun reached its peak in the sky, Mikoto joined them, having
discreetly escaped from the academy. She asked Minato to teach her how
to create shadow clones. Patiently, alongside another clone of his, Minato
guided Mikoto through the complex steps. After a few hours of practice
and guidance, Mikoto finally mastered the technique, albeit limited to
one clone.
With this new ability, the trio began to skip theoretical classes, opting to
send clones in their place, while reserving their physical presence for
practical sessions where the risk of unmasking the clones was high. This
tactic allowed them to maximize training time and personal growth
during theoretical days.
Meanwhile, Minato looked for a source of income to support his needs
and perhaps save for future resources. He found a job at a warehouse of a
local grocery store, where his tasks included noting inventories and
carrying heavy items for the owner. It was a discreet job, away from
watchful eyes that might recognize him as an academy student, and it
paid enough to get by for the next few months.
He began to divide his chakra between two more clones — one at school
and another at work — while his original body trained with Tsuna and
Mikoto; it was exhausting. Minato arrived at the orphanage each night
feeling every muscle protest from fatigue. However, he persisted,
knowing that each day of work and training brought him closer to his
goals.
This routine extended over the days, weeks, and months. Minato, Tsuna,
and Mikoto became increasingly synchronized and strong for their ages,
as Minato balanced his school responsibilities, work, and personal
ambitions.

Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 33.
...
...
As the months unfolded, Minato solidified his position as the most
prominent student in his class once again. His unmatched dedication and
skill made him unbeatable in sparring and practical exams. In theoretical
areas, Tsuna emerged as a formidable competitor, especially with her
knowledge in medicine, a passion she cultivated under her mother's
tutelage over the past months. However, even with her intensive studies
and undeniable talent, Tsuna still remained in second place, with Minato
maintaining the lead.
Minato's precision with kunais had also notably improved. He was now
among the top five in his class in this skill. His status as the number one
rookie was undisputable, and his reputation only grew with each new
achievement.
Tsuna and Mikoto, too, had made significant progress, surpassing many
of their peers thanks to the secret training with Minato. The three formed
a formidable team, pushing each other beyond their limits and sharing
techniques and strategies within their bounds. They had created an
efficient system, sending clones to theoretical classes while dedicating
their original bodies to intense training and personal improvement.
However, Minato had his doubts about how safe his secret was. He had
noticed the presence of bugs at his training location and wondered if
Professor Kuy Aburame was aware of his escapades with Mikoto and
Tsuna. Despite never having confronted Minato or mentioned his
suspicions, the uncertainty remained, leaving Minato cautious and always
on alert.
With the money he had accumulated from his job, Minato had invested in
additional weights and seals to enhance his training. These new tools not
only increased the intensity of his sessions but also boosted his physical
development and ninja skills.
When Madame Gorete inquired about how he had acquired these
resources, Minato was honest. His revelation about using clones for both
school and work surprised the old lady, but she didn't express many
objections. She saw that, despite his unconventional tactics, Minato
continued to excel academically and maintained an honest source of
income. His impeccable performance and conduct reassured her, and she
recognized that Minato was doing what he thought necessary to enhance
his future potential.
The months followed, and Minato, Tsuna, and Mikoto continued their
journey, each growing, learning, and overcoming challenges. As time
passed, Minato noticed significant changes in his body. The rigorous
training routine, combined with the weight seals and the development of
his skills, was shaping him into an increasingly capable shinobi. He could
feel his strength increasing, a testament to the latent potential residing in
his young body.
However, he was conscious of his current limitations with his young age.
At seven years old, his body was still developing, and more advanced
techniques like the six styles of the navy were beyond his reach for now.
Yet, this reality did not discourage him; on the contrary, it encouraged
him to excel in other areas and prepare for the moment when he could
learn these techniques.
On a day of practical class, Minato joined Tsuna and Mikoto at the
academy. "Minato, what are you going to do?" Tsuna asked, curious
about Minato's plans for that day.
"I'm going to study Fuinjutsu. I heard there are some beginner books in
the library, so I plan to study that, in addition to some other chakra
techniques," Minato responded with a thoughtful expression. He was
always looking for ways to expand his knowledge and skills.
"Why haven't you used the library before? What's changed this time?"
Mikoto inquired, noticing the change in Minato's approach.
"I'm developing my body and refining my chakra control. Now I can
make three clones, but my seven-year-old body has a limit. I'll focus on
absorbing knowledge while my body matures..." Minato explained.
"Well, I can't say you're wrong. That's why I'm studying a lot. My mother
says this is the best time to read because later it's going to be much
harder for all of us," Tsuna shared, agreeing with Minato's strategy. She
was also taking advantage of this crucial period to absorb as much
knowledge as possible under her mother's tutelage.
"Good for you. Most of my clan only have fire jutsu scrolls, it's hard to
find anything useful," Mikoto said.
Minato, always the optimist and encourager, tried to cheer her up. "You
should focus on your strengths. You can cast the shadow clone jutsu and
even the fireball. At 7 years old, you're very cool, Mikoto." His tone was
sincere, trying to highlight the impressive abilities that Mikoto already
possessed.
"But I don't have as much chakra as you and Senju over there. I can only
cast one clone, and I get tired quickly after launching a few jutsus," she
murmured, expressing her frustration.
"But you have a powerful lineage; there are still positives in your blood. I
heard that you Uchihas received the physical strength of Rikudou Sannin!
Isn't that fantastic?" he encouraged, referring to one of the most
legendary stories in the ninja world.
Tsuna, overhearing the conversation, showed her skepticism. "What story
is that, Minato?" she murmured, clearly doubtful of the claim's veracity.
"It's true," Minato affirmed with conviction, not minding sharing one of
the world's most important secrets with his friends.
Mikoto, skeptical, rolled her eyes. "Yeah, you're going to tell that fanciful
story about a man who possessed the legendary Rinnegan and that his
lineage divided into Uchihas, Senjus, and Uzumakis... You said you read
this in a book, right?"
"Yes, and I believe in the book," Minato affirmed, even if he was slightly
lying about the origin of his knowledge.
Tsuna, with her arms crossed, expressed her disappointment. "That's a
children's story, Minato. I expected more from you, honestly."
"Whatever... I'm going to lunch, I'll send a clone to the library to see what
I can find." He walked away, creating a clone that headed to the library
while he himself went to the practical class.
The practical class that day went as usual, with Minato standing out
among his peers. He ran the course with impressive agility and dexterity,
finishing in first place once again. His precision with kunais was notable,
hitting 85% of his targets, and in all the sparring, he emerged as the
undisputed winner. His commitment and skill were evident, and he was
quickly becoming an example for the other students.
As the class ended and the students began to disperse, a familiar voice
caught Minato's attention. "Minato," called Professor Aburame, his voice
calm but authoritative. Minato, a bit surprised, approached the professor
while the other students continued to leave the room.
"Yes, professor..." Minato replied, maintaining a respectful posture and
waiting to find out what had caught the teacher's attention.
"I've seen that you're interested in learning Fuinjutsu," Professor Aburame
began, catching Minato completely off guard. The revelation left him
momentarily speechless; only Tsuna and Mikoto knew of his interest in
the art of seals and that he had sent a clone to the library.
"What? How did you know?" Minato couldn't help expressing his shock.
The idea that his secret escapades and studies had been discovered was
something he hadn't considered, despite some suspicions.
"Don't think that I don't know about your escapades throughout the year,
Minato. You're a great student, but you still have a lot to learn, as you're
only a 7-year-old child," the teacher continued, but there was a certain
pride in his tone.
Minato waited, nervous, anticipating some form of punishment or
reprimand. "So..." he murmured, uncertain of what was to come next.
"Then, I'm proud of you," the professor declared, to Minato's surprise.
"Can you imagine how it is to split your chakra into four parts, creating
three shadow clones? No genin should do that, but you do and stay all
day with it. I was expecting something like this from a Senju like
Tsunade's daughter, but you are surprising."
Minato felt a wave of relief and confusion. "So you knew about all my
clones all this time?" he asked, still stunned by the revelation.
"Of course, I knew. I may seem like an ordinary chunin, but in the
Aburames, we are specialists in tracking. I knew you were a clone in the
second week of your escapades," Professor Aburame explained, his
expression calm and inscrutable.
Minato, with a mix of anxiety and caution, stared at Professor Aburame,
searching his eyes for any indication of what the future held for him.
"What's going to happen to me now?" he asked, the concern evident in his
voice.
Professor Aburame observed him closely before responding. "What do
you want to do? You know I can recommend you for early graduation.
You know how to use a forbidden jutsu, learning the other basic
techniques should be quite easy for you," he said, presenting Minato with
a path few had the opportunity to traverse.
However, he continued, as if he already knew Minato's answer before
asking. "But I feel that you don't want that, do you?" The question was
rhetorical, a confirmation of what he had already perceived about the
young shinobi in front of him.
Minato hesitated for a moment before responding. "No, I don't want early
graduation. I need to further increase my knowledge and improve my
strength. I feel I wouldn't have the time I have now if I become a genin."
His answer was firm.
"Even if it makes you famous? Graduating at 7 would make you have a
famous name in the military records, I don't doubt you will break all the
academy records, but graduating at 7 will open many doors for your
future," Professor Aburame argued, presenting Minato with the tempting
prospect of recognition and opportunities.
"Sorry, professor, but I'm not ready yet," Minato replied. He had his
reasons, his own goals and ambitions that transcended the mere pursuit
of fame or early recognition. Moreover, he wanted to be in the academy
when Kushina arrived in the village, wishing to see the future Jinchuriki.
Understanding Minato's determination and thoughtful thinking, Professor
Aburame nodded in approval. "I understand, I can relate to that. But I'll
leave something for you," he said, taking out a basic Fuinjutsu manual
from his clan. "I made sure to send a clone to my house and get it. I
noticed your clone didn't find anything in the library, so here's a manual
for beginners."
Minato, surprised, took the book. He quickly deactivated a clone to
confirm Professor Aburame's words and discovered that indeed the
library didn't have what he needed. "Thank you, professor!" he exclaimed,
the joy evident in his voice as he held the manual.
"I'm counting on your bright future, Minato," Professor Aburame
murmured, watching the young boy leave the room. He saw in Minato
not just a talented student, but a shinobi who promised to shape the
future.
With the manual in hand and a new sense of purpose, Minato left the
room, his mind buzzing with the possibilities that Fuinjutsu could offer
him.

Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 33.
...
...
Minato held the Aburame clan's Fuinjutsu manual as if it were a treasure
as he returned to the orphanage. He was eager to dive into the pages and
absorb every bit of knowledge he could. With a new goal in mind, he
dedicated himself to learning the basics of Fuinjutsu that late afternoon,
an ancient and complex art of sealing. Minato sent a clone for training
while he focused with the original on learning Fuinjutsu.
In the following days, whenever he was not at the academy or training
his body and chakra, Minato could be found with his nose buried in the
manual. He studied each chapter and seal diagram meticulously,
understanding the theories behind the seals and how they manipulated
chakra in various powerful ways. He learned about different types of
basic seals, their functions, and applications, and began to understand
how he could incorporate them into his own ninja style.
Aware that practice was as crucial as theoretical study, Minato knew he
needed suitable materials to start practicing his calligraphy and seal
creation. Thus, with the money he had saved from his job, he purchased
regular ink and a fine brush. These materials were not cheap; he had to
learn first to improve his calligraphy before using chakra ink.
With his new materials in hand, Minato began practicing the calligraphy
necessary to create effective seals. He found he was terrible with writing,
but this only strengthened his determination to improve quickly. After
getting used to this type of training, Minato began to put a clone to
practice while the original would do more intense training.
His clone spent hours practicing, repeating the same characters over and
over, perfecting his technique. He filled pages and pages with seals,
comparing each attempt to the book's examples, seeking to achieve
perfection. Over time, his hands became steadier, his lines more precise,
and his seals more potent.
Minato also began experimenting with simple seals, applying them to
small objects and observing the effects. He started with basic tasks, like
making an object glow or emit a sound when activated with a bit of
chakra. Each success was a small victory, each mistake a valuable lesson.
He was determined to master this art, knowing that Fuinjutsu could be an
incredibly powerful tool in his arsenal.
On a sunny day after school, Minato met Tsuna at their usual training
spot, a secluded area where they often practiced and discussed their skills
and progress. Tsuna was curious about Minato's recent activities,
especially after noticing that he was carrying something different with
him - a book and inks with brushes.
"Hi, Tsuna," Minato greeted with a wave, his face lit up with an animated
smile. "I've been working on something new."
Tsuna, with an intrigued look, asked, "What is it? You're always full of
surprises."
"It's a Fuinjutsu manual," Minato began, displaying the book he had
received from Professor Aburame. "I'm learning the art of seals. It's
fascinating, but I'm still stuck on the calligraphy."
Tsuna's eyes widened in surprise and admiration. "Really? That's
amazing, Minato! How did you get it?"
"Professor Aburame gave it to me," Minato revealed. "He knows about our
clones and, instead of reprimanding me, offered me this book to delve
deeper into Fuinjutsu when he discovered my interest in the area. He
thinks I can make good use of it."
Tsuna was impressed not just with the professor's generosity but also
with the trust he placed in Minato. "That's a big deal and a great
opportunity, Minato. What have you learned so far?"
Minato opened the book to the pages he had been studying and discussed
what he had learned - from the basic principles of Fuinjutsu to the
calligraphy techniques and the first attempts to create functional seals,
but he could not execute anything since fuinjutsu needs better chakra
control and calligraphy than he possessed.
Tsuna listened attentively, absorbing every detail. "That's really
complicated, but if anyone can learn this quickly, it's you. My great-
grandmother made me practice calligraphy since I was 4, it was
horrible!" she said in her usual way.
"Actually, I have some tips that might help you practice," she continued.
"When you're training with kunais and shurikens, you need precision and
control. Maybe you can apply the same concentration and precision to
drawing the seals with your calligraphy."
Minato nodded, acknowledging the smart suggestion. "That makes sense.
I'll try to incorporate that technique into my practice." They spent more
time discussing possible applications of Fuinjutsu and how Minato could
improve his chakra control and calligraphy to apply to the seals.
A few days later, there was an odd sight at the training field. Minato had
sent one clone to school, another to work, one to learn calligraphy, and
his original body took the day to train and hone his observation Haki,
which seemed to be reaching a new threshold.
Minato's clone dipped the brush into the normal ink and moved it with
meticulous precision, forming seal characters one after another in a
corner of the place where the trio was at that moment. Tsuna, curious
and always ready to help, offered suggestions and encouragement. "Try to
keep your hand a bit firmer here," she said, pointing to a particular curve
in the seal.
Meanwhile, Mikoto was throwing shurikens with deadly precision in a
corner, each embedding exactly in the center of the target. However, she
couldn't help but get involved in the conversation, especially when she
saw an opportunity to tease Tsuna.
"Do you really think you're going to make him improve with those
obvious tips, Tsuna?" Mikoto called out, a teasing smile on her face.
Tsuna rolled her eyes, a reluctant smile appearing on her lips. "At least
I'm trying to help, unlike certain people who just know how to throw
shurikens all day, Uchiha."
Mikoto laughed and responded, "Throwing shurikens is an art, Senju.
Maybe you should try to improve your skills instead of giving tips about
calligraphy."
Although the argument between Tsuna and Mikoto was a common
occurrence, Minato knew that deep down, they respected and cared for
each other. It was this camaraderie and mutual support that made their
training days not only productive but also enjoyable.
In the following months, Minato dedicated himself to a rigorous routine
that balanced his education at the academy, intensive training, and work.
Every day, he attended classes at the academy, where he continued to
excel, maintaining his position as the top student.
To support his needs and invest in more materials for his Fuinjutsu study,
Minato continued to work hard at his job in the grocery store. He saved
every penny earned to buy more quality ink and brushes.
"Minato, we're finally going to finish the second year! I heard from my
father that the conflict is ready to burst into the world," Mikoto spoke to
Minato as they trained.
"It's true, we're about to enter the second ninja war…" Minato spoke, in a
few years the war would break out, Minato never had precise knowledge
about the events before Naruto and the fanfics he read were not official
events made by the original author, but by the writers and their logic, so
he could expect most things to happen in an unknown way to him.
"Do you think we'll graduate early?" she asked.
"Honestly, I think so, maybe not at 8 years old since it's forbidden to send
children to war, but we won't have the same privilege of graduating at 13
years old," he spoke sincerely.
"And to think we're going to the next year, these months have passed so
quickly…" she murmured, looking at Minato in a somewhat strange way.
"Well, at least we are getting stronger to survive, that's going to be our
survival," he said, referring to the war, which would not be easy for
them.
Now, after months of relentless dedication, tomorrow would mark the
last day of class for the year. Minato felt a mix of relief and anticipation.
The academic year had been a time of constant training for Minato,
Tsuna, and Mikoto, incredibly productive.
"Well, I'm going back, my father will send ninjas after me if I don't return.
So, see you tomorrow, Minato!" Mikoto said and got up to leave.
"See you later, Mikoto!" Minato began to pack up his materials and
started to return to the orphanage, tomorrow marking the last day of the
second year.
