  Kensei Yasaji.

  Kensei was eating his m breakfast wheiced Daichi ing down. “Good m Gramps.” Daichi greeted him. As he looked at Daichi, Kensei noticed something strange.

  ‘His chakra reserve has increased and he seems to be o.’

  Even though it wouldn't be obvious to someone normal, Kensei saw the signs. He watched Daichi take a look at the exits and take in every obje the room quickly and subtly. He sat down without saying anything and ate his breakfast.

  Kensei quickly sensed Daichi's chakra signature to verify it's his grandson. 'It's Daichi alright.! So then what's up with him?'

  "Did something happen st night?"

  The question startled the boy. He put a wide smile on his fad replied. "Nothing happened… Why do you ask?"

  "You seem to be on guard. More vigint and wary of your surroundings." Kensei replied in a fused tone.

  "Oh? I'm trying to be more vigint of my surroundings. I read in a book about taking in every detail when ierritory. Trying to make this a habit…" Daichi said with a straight face. He did read something simir in a book so he wasn't lying.

  Hearing Daichi's answer satisfied Kensei.

  "Anyway...Umm...Something else did happen st night." Daichi had a sheepish smile on his face as he said this.

  Seeing Daichi's jovial expression, Kensei let go of his worries. "What is it?" He was curious as to what brought the ge.

  "I learwo jutus. One for water and one for wind."

  "Have you tried them?" Kensei asked.

  "No." Daichi replied with a straight face. "I was thinking we could go over them after we had some breakfast."

  Kensei nodded in approval. They quickly fiheir food a outside. They reach the training area in their backyard. Kensei motioned for Daichi to begin.

  Daichi quickly went through the hand seals for the water style jutsu. A fast spiraling bst of water shot from his mouth aroyed the small stone he aimed at. Kensei was examining Daichi as he used the Jutsu. He noticed his grandson’s chakra reserves had increased by a wide margin. Noting that he had enough chakra to perform another jutsu, Kensei motioned Daichi to perform the ohe wind style wind bullet jutsu was quickly demonstrated as well. Daichi turned around to look at his grandpa.

  "So what do you think?"

  Kensei examihe aftermath of the two Ninjutsus. He was more than impressed that a first year academy student had the reserves and trol to pull off two teiques that looked like they were k level.

  "Your chakra volume has grown far more than most others ye. And your chakra trol is exceptional. To successfully use two chakra nature jutsus that are not of your natural affinity… That's impressive." Kensei was impressed by Daichi's improvement and dismissed Daichi's strange behavior in the m. "I take it you have something in mind for tellihis."

  Daiodded. " you give me 3 simple easy jutsus for the remaining chakra natures."

  "So you want a fire, lightning ah nature jutsus. Why do you hem?" Kensei's curiosity peaked.

  "I want to feel what it's like to use all 5 elements. Uand the way my chakra ges to each element. Improve my trol. All that stuff." Daichi gave his answer. He was hoping his grandfather would approve.

  After listening to Daichi's reasons and thinking about it for some time he agreed. He took his grandson to his library and gave him 3 scrolls detailing k jutsus for fire, earth and lightning nature. After inf his grandson that he was going out, Kensei left.

  He was walking down the road thinking about Daichi's progress. It really baffled him. 'The speed of his growth is truly abnormal. And his chakra reserves had increased quite a bit sihe st time I sehem. And his talent… He makes me look like chopped liver. His talent is far beyond what I initially thought… '

  'Maybe… Just maybe… He do it… Stand at the top of this era… Wouldn't that be something? But this will als him attention. Sooner or ter the eyes of everyone important is going to fall on him. He'll o prepare for that…'

  Kehought about Daichi and his enormous talents and his thoughts drifted to his te son. He shook his head and sighed after a few moments clearing his thoughts. He looked up in front of him. He had reached his destination. The orphanage where he met Daichi.

  He went inside a with Aiko.

  "Hello Aiko. It's been a while." Kensei sat and smiled.

  "Yes it has. How have you been? Not bored I imagine." Aiko smiled at her old friend.

  "No. Not with Daichi around."

  "How is he by the way?" Aiko asked.

  "Good. Great actually. He got first p the academy this semester. A natural benius. It's iing to have him around to say the least." Kensei smiled as he recalled his experiences with Daichi. They talked about the past for a while. While talking about Daichi's training Aiko suddenly remembered something. The visit from the Special Jonin Genma.

  "Kehere's something I think you should know. The Hokage enquired about Daichi." Aiko said in a somewhat serious tone.

  "What! When?" Kensei excimed.

  “A few days after you adopted him.”

  "Did he e here personally?"

  "No. He sent one of his guards…" Aiko was silent for a sed before asking "What are you going to do? I know you and lord third have a history… Is that going to affect Daichi?"

  Kensei sighed and replied. “No. What happened between me and Hiruzen won’t affect Daichi. He’s not that kind of a man… But someone like Danzo oher hand… Has he e here retly?”

  Aiko shook her head. “No. He hasn't, not sihat day.”

  “Probably due to Hiruzen. He always had a soft spot for you. Especially after all the things you did for the vilge… I am curious though… Have you found out the source of the funds you received?” Kensei wao know if Aiko found her mysterious beor.

  The orphanage and Aiko received a very rge sum of money shortly after the ails attack. When she received the money Aiko believed it was someone who wao help the orphans at such a terrible time. But with that money came 1 important instru.

  Never let Danzo Shimura take any of the children at the orphanage.

  Aiko khe kind of man Danzo was. She made sure to s every person she hired at the orphanage. 2 years after the attack, Danzo came trying to recruit a couple of children for his anization but Aiko refused. Whearted to make trouble for her, the Hokage intervened. Danzo never bothered her again.

  She would protect all the children under her care. But she was curious as to why that money came with that particur dition.

  Kensei and Aiko spent a couple of hours reminisg about the past and talked about various topics. After some time Kensei left the pce.

  Hokage’s Offibsp;

  The Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was looking over the missios of the Anbu Team Ro. He paid attention to the Rank and number of missions pleted by the team. Team Ro under Anbu captain Kakashi Hatake was a formidable squad.

  'With Itachi's addition to the team, their mission pletion rate has increased twofold. Today is the st day of their one week break.'

  The Hokage took another folder and reviewed it's tents. After going through it he came to a decision. ‘I'll assign Kakashi's team to this. They're the most suitable.'

  Once he stamped the st of the top secret and critical dots with his official seal he took a break from his work. He wehe window and looked out.

  'Things are getting progressively worse with the Uchiha . Itachi and Shisui were the only ones who stood on our side from the . But now that Shisui is dead things have gotten much worse. The Police force is iigating the matter. Even though it appears as a suicide to the world, the Uchiha won't buy into that. Now Itachi is the only informant I have in the . If something happens to him as well…'

  Hiruzen sighed as he thought about the burdens he carried on his shoulders and the burdens he pced on the 11 year old genius of the Uchiha bsp;

  ‘I'll have to trust Itachi on this matter. I hope he’ll be able to vince Fugaku and the other Uchiha members. iation is the only way to solve this problem. And the soohe better.’

  Soon he went back to work. He looked over the importas first and after some time came to the dots regarding the academy tests. He looked over the results of the first year semester and what he sahat he thought but it still somewhat surprised him.

  ‘Just as I expected. Daichi took first p almost all the tests. He was even able to beat Sasuke Uchiha and score higher marks. It seems my intuition was right.’

  ‘During the entrance ceremony I noticed his chakra volume. It had grown several times from when I first met and sensed him. And it felt like he had precise trol over it as well. He had grown a lot stronger in just one year. And based on the reports Daikoku made from his observations, it seems Daichi is still holding back. Daikoku hat Daichi is eligible for skipping a grade.’

  ‘Should I do it?... No! It's still too soo him develop a healthy and strong mind first. I'll have him graduate with his css or if he's really impressive then maybe a year early. That should be enough.’

  The Hokage went over the results of the whole css and made mental notes of all the students who showed some talent. He paused when his eyes reached a certain name.

  Naruto Uzumaki.

  ‘It would seem he has your looks, Minato. But he's ied his attitude from Kushina.’

  ‘A troublemaker. Retly he started pulling pranks on teachers. Bad in studies but has a positive attitude… I suppose that's a fair assessment from the teacher… But I know you'll do great things one day, Naruto. You're the one Minato entrusted with the ails after all.’

  He looked over the academy files and tinued on with his works.

  Uchiha . - Sasuke’s Home.

  Sasuke was sitting in front of his father Fugaku Uchiha. Sasuke had a downcast expression as his father went through every line in his report card. Once he was done, he pced the card down and looked at his you son. His face showed ion. After staring at his son for over a minute he broke the silenbsp;

  "This was ued, Sasuke. You got sed pce… I thought you'd be like your brother but it seems I'm wrong."

  Sasuke ched his fists around his knees. He didn't even have the strength to look at his father. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He stayed like that, never speaking a word.

  "What do you have to say for yourself?" Fugaku asked in a stern voibsp;

  "I'm sorry father. I'll do better ime." The young Uchiha replied.

  "Don't fet. Your brother took first p the academy and graduated ihan six months. He is a genius like no other. Now that you've joihe academy you have to hold yourself up to his standards. You o work harder. Much harder. Do you uand?" Fugaku asked.

  "Yes father. I'll train more." It was the only reply the young Uchiha gave.

  Fugaku got up and was about to leave but abruptly stopped. "The child who defeated you. What is his name?" He enquired.

  Sasuke was quiet for a few seds and then answered in a small voice. "Daichi… Daichi Hekima."

  Fugaku nodded ahe room. He always held Sasuke to the same standards he did Itachi. But seeing his son not take the first spot in his css disappointed him. But at the same time Fugaku became a bit ied in the boy that defeated his child.

  Sasuke was in a turmoil. Tears started rolling down his face. He stayed seated on the ground even after his father had left and cried, but he never made a single sound.

  ‘Itachi… Daichi… I… I hate you both.' It was the only thought that went through his head as he silently shed tears in misery.
