Childhood Days- part 3: Uzumaki Namikaze Family

hokage mansion- 5 days after the kidnapping attempt

the last five days has been crazy for konoha as a whole. while the kidnapping attempt was kept secret, the huge battle between jiraya who was called back, tsunade and minato with orochimaru has resulted in huge property damage to the central district. fortunately their was no loss of life but unfortunately orochimaru has managed to escape.

as in canon all his labs were ceased and tendo or yamato was found in one of the labs. he was accepted into the senju clan. for me, i continued my mock battles with master and now in the afternoon i am studying various things both historical records and about chakra theory in sarutobi compound. but i have a new stalker in the afternoons now. the sarutobi hime, whose name i have finally had opportunity to know, mira sarutobi has started appearing in the study at afternoon but not to study but to look at me when she thinks im not looking.

today, i am invites to hokage mansion to dine with minato and his family and i just made it to there home. when i knocked on the door, it was answered by silver haired teen with face mask.

kakashi with his usual deadpan voice: hey kid, come on in. my name is hatake kakashi by the way.

'oh good evening hatake-san, thank you' i replied while entering.

i was soon directed to dinning room where kushina is putting up the food. seeing me come in she rushed towards me while passing over kakashi who she hit was flying into the wall and fell down with the same deadpan eyes and got me into a tight hug while pressing her large d cups on my face.

i would have enjoyed it if not for the lack of oxygen and stars which started appearing in my eyes. kakashi came to my rescue still ploping at the wall

kakashi- nee san he is not breathing.

which brought kushina to the present while she released me.

kushina- aa sasaki chan you are so cute. and that is a thank you for rescuing my daughters.

as i was regaining my bearings the aforementioned daughters came inside the room, but once they saw me they both became shy while the blonde one was slightly grinning at me the red head was looking at me with a small smile.

i decided to introduce myself. ' hi, my name is sasaki haruno, 4 years old, sandaime's apprentice and all around badass'

all the people there were dumbfounded on my last words and kushina started laughing loudly.

the blone haired twin started introducing herself with a grin now- 'heya sasaki kun, i am natsume uzumaki namikaze, nice to meet you and thanks for saving me and my friends yesterday'

i nodded and looked at the red head twin who started in a calm voice- 'hello sasaki kun, i am mito uzumaki namikaze, nice to meet you'

i nodded at them with a small smile and was awarded with a blush on both faces.

i started sensing their energy levels and was not disappointed to notice they have high academy level chakra, and i also sensed kyuubi in both of them, while natsume has yang , mito has yin chakra sealed which was leaking and converting to their chakra increasing their chakra levels and density, but the rate of conversion is miniscule and they may not be able to get the negative emotion sensing if they are not in kyuubi chakra mode.

just then minato flashed inside the room and greeted me, after which we started getting seated for dinner. i was seated between natsume and mito while opposite to us minato, kushina and kakashi were seated.

i looked at minato and finally said- hokage sama, thank you for having me at your house today.

minato waved his hands and said- dont worry about formalities here sasaki kun, call me minato.

i nodded my head and asked - 'minato then, i wanted to ask was the jutsu you used now and on that day hiraishin?'

minato startled and asked- you are right, but how did you know about that name.

' you used that last week on both master and me, so i started looking for information in masters study, there was a mention of jikukan ninjutsu (space time) in it. i was looking at fuinjutsu scrolls this week and was able to make some progress. but i have some questions if you have some time.'

but before minato could answer, kushina cut in- okay we can talk about this stuff afterwards for now lets eat.

i looked at the bowl infront of me and guess whats for dinner... ding ding.. its ramen.

i looked up to see all three females in the room looking intensely towards me. confused i looked at minato and kakashi to see minato smiling awkwardly and kakashi with his dead eyes normal look.

i picked up my chopsticks and started eating after a queit thanks. let me tell you this, even if ichiraku has good ramen, we cannot underestimate the food prepared by ramen fanatics at all. it was too good. i started eating automatically and finished the bowl in record time to catch a shocked look from everyone there.

i blushed a bit and said- 'it was too good. '

they all laughed and then started eating and talking while i got a second serving. looking at them and the warm family atmosphere i involuntaryly let out a small smile. i looked at lively kushina berating kakashi who wore an unintresting look and minato trying to act as a mediator in between. what i dint notice is the two little girls looking mesmerized at me.

coming out of it, i turned towards the twins to talk and asked-' so what kind of training are you guys doing? did you complete the pre acadamy foundation training already, did you get started on fuinjutsu?'

the table became silent and everyone were staring at me.

bewildered i asked 'what?'

it was minato who replied- sasaki kun, training even for clan kids only starts when they are 4 you know

kushina asked curiously about my training- what about you sasaki kun, where are you at the training program.

minato and kakashi looked tense.

i smiled and replied- 'i completed the foundation training last year and master trained me on battle simulations and body refining. i am also close to becoming bojutsu master'

to the shock of everyone i continued speaking 'i got started on fuinjutsu last week and currently on stage 2. we will be started on elemental manipulation tomorrow' i replied with exitement in the end.

i couldnt help but get exited for elemental manipulation. i would find my base elements and work on elemental chakra transformation which when completed will propel me to low jounin level fighter.

i hit a bottleneck in both chakra training and body training due to my younge age and will have to wait till i am 7 or 8 for another qualitative improvement. this is also the reason why i couldnt perform energy assimilation for nature chakra since i reached a limit due to age constraint. my body cannot hold anymore chakra and it is already in peak refinement.

kushina hearing me started looking menancingly towards minato who continued sweating and the two little girls beside me are looking at minato and kakashi accusingly.

minato cleared his throat and asked kushina about desert. kushina went inside and brought some japanese sweets to the table.

after finishing dinner we sat in the hall to continue talking.

minato- so do you know your base elements already?

'no, master told me we will check it tomorrow morning, but i am fine with any element since i believe there is no useless element, every element can be used based on users attainment '

kakashi and minato nodded at me and i started talking about fuinjutsu concepts i had questions in

' so the hiraishin jutsu is based on summoning right?'

minato- yes thats correct, but the user needs to have instantaneous reflexes and kage level body for hiraishin to work. there is also equivalent chakra requirment that is the larger the body which is being moved the more chakra is taken.

i nodded my head and asked - ' is there not any requirement on understanding towards space time elements and is the distance not a factor?'

minato- thats a usual missunderstanding, the summoning works for fixed points in space time so the distance can be anywhere but chakra equivalance is based on the body being transported, while attempting to use hiraishin needs some understanding of space time elements, the seal usually takes care of the chakra conversion. you have seen jiraya sensei summoning toads right, the jutsu shiki will take your intent on summoning and convert the chakra given automatically.

i asked the most important question

' you use hiraishin kunai as a medium right, but theoritically if you get attainment in space time element can you not teleport without any jutsu shiki?'

minato looked stunned by my question but i followed up with another

'do you know any ways on nature transformation for space time element?'

while minato was thinking while muttering to himself, kakashi and kushina were looking at me like im a monster for having this much knowledge on chakra theory even most jounin have a trouble in while the twins were looking at me in awe.

minato- theoritically what you said should be possible, but there are no known methods for training in space time nature transformations.

i knew that from my own research but when thinking about it, i had an idea on how to train too, ofcourse from my previous life anime and novel knowledge. i looked at minato and put down the research idea.

'what if the practise of nature transformation is similar to how we do it for base elements. like for base elements, we make our chakra do what is similar characteristic of natual element so if we can isolate and contain the space time chakra convered in hiraishin formula using fuinjutsu and get a feel of it in fundamental level, with that understanding cant we naturally train to transform our chakra like other jutsus for perfect teleportation. this method is not just for one element, we can totally have the same done with other elements which should cut down the initial training time of the elements'

minato, kushina and kakashi looked absolutely stunned at my idea. the implications of this method for all elements is huge. this could cut down the elemental manipulation training time from 10 years to less than 2 years and people with low affinity can bypass that hurdle using this method to gain enough understanding for using an element. the number of jounins are in thousands due to people not having enough talent to gleam this understanding. having a million shinobi who can use elemental manipulation can bolster the village strenght to obscene levels.

while they were thinking of the implications i decided to cool their heads by reminding what will happen if the method is available for villages like iwa or kumo which brought them back to earth.

the twins were dumbfounded with the high level discussion going on but seeing the exitement on my idea their adoration and curitosity grew more.

after calming down a bit minato and kushina offered to lend their notes for my fuinjutsu traning which shocked me. you need to know that both of them are seal grandmasters and having their notes will cut down my training time atleast by half not to mention the uzumaki sealing technique. i guess this is also a reward for saving their daughters.

i thanked them profusely and left from there happy with scrolls with their notes till level 5.
