Chapter-1

Taiga was just 5 years old when he made his first seal... he was happy

"Grandma, GRANDMA look!! look", Taiga came running towards his old grandma who looked at the seal and nodded with a smile

Taiga was happy, according to him his grandma is the best in this world, she loves him the most, she always read him a story at night, she is always smiling and she even teaches him fuinjutsu

When his grandma said that he can not use ninjutsu like other people he was sad, but she hones his little body as much as possible conditioning his prodigal reflexes, she even engaged him in fuinjutsu

-------

(Later that night)

"He sure is growing fast", said the sage of the six path

"Kids grow up fast master", said the old lady the Aide

"Indeed, but back to business, it's time for him to befriend child of prophecy, Ashura reincarnation", said Sage of the six path

"Can you tell me your plan master"

"Indra and Ashura needs to be united for them to fight mother, using this kid as the bridge we can unite them, at the same time making taiga strong enough to stand toe to toe with mother"

"But won't that amount power corrupt his mind", asked the Aide

"That's why I am here... that's why we are here"

-------

Next day Taiga and his grandmother have gone to park for playing, he played for some time when he saw a lone kid sitting on a swing

"Why are you alone", asked Taiga which makes the kid on the swing flinch

"W-what do you want", the blond boy was covering his face

"Wanna befriend", said the redhead with a grin

"F-Friend?", Naruto was shocked that someone wished to be his friend

"You don't want to?"

"I do"

He grinned, Naruto grinned and they become friends

When Taiga alongside Naruto goes to play with other kids, they refused and so Taiga refused to play with them

They were dirty with all the mud on their body

Naruto was sad the moment he saw his friend looking at the Old lady, thinking it's time to let go of another friend like countless others in the past

"Grandma, This is My friend... his name is Naruto", said Taiga smiling

"H-Hello", said Naruto nervous

Old granny looked angrily at Naruto and Taiga which makes Naruto more nervous

"I think I will go", Naruto with a head-down decided to go back to Orphanage

"Where do you think you are going, mister"

This statement alone makes Naruto even more nervous

"Sigh... let's go back for you two to bath"

"R-Really"

"What you don't want to", at this time she was really angry

"I-I will go"

"Yea, let's go home", Taiga took Naruto's hand and pull him towards the home

-------

Naruto bath alongside Taiga and eats the lady's food before going to sleep with Taiga, this was the best day ever, not only he found a friend he even found an adult other than the Hokage who does not hate him

-------

"This should take care of Ashura, but what about Indra", asked the Old lady Aide

"The attack by Kurama did a huge number on the village, they are suspicious of Uchiha's it won't be long before something large happens that's when we will take care of Indra", replied The sage of six paths

"Kurama, do you want me to talk to that big idiotic fox?", asked the Old lady Aide

"Let Ashura deal with it on his own, It's time to teach Taiga a technique", said the sage of six path

"hmm...how about flying Raijin, his fuinjutsu level and reflexes are good enough already to learn the basic version", asked the old lady.

"Flying Raijin? What's that?", asked Sage of the six path

"I heard these humans made it"

"... Humans made Space time Jutsu? I am surprised"

[Second Hokage was an Absolute prodigy]

"Indeed, the master shouldn't underestimate them, after all, they are born with the power of God's fruit inside them"

"God's Fruit powers Huh? I wonder if they even know the real purpose and the story behind that Chakra they take so casually, and the truth behind the 10 tails"

"Master", The Old lady aide interrupted his mumbling

"You deal with it anyhow you see fit, but just keep an eye on him the entire time, he cannot get corrupted at any cost, this time we can not leave it to destiny, the mother is going to be free soon, we have to be prepared"

"Don't worry master I will make it sure the boy never gets corrupted"

-------

And so, Naruto becomes the frequent visitor in Taiga's home with granny making breakfast lunch and dinner to him, alongside theirs

Old granny also taught Little Naruto the leaf sticking exercise, in which he was really-really bad.

-------

4 Months Later, Taiga learned his first technique the flying thunder god level 1

8 Months Later granny taught Little Taiga how to make the seals from his hands or legs

Another Year Later, he finally performed flying thunder god level 1

Another 13 Months was gone by, and Taiga finally managed to do flying thunder god flawlessly, it was fast and definitely not something to be able to dodge

It took him 3 years to learn Flying Thunder god level 1 and to think the fourth Hokage, after learning flying thunder god created variations and took the technique to the maximum limit

He was far far far too weak to be able to compare with the likes of Fourth Hokage

-------

He is 8, today is the day he attends the academy with his best friend

He runs to Naruto's apartment

When Naruto was 7, Orphanage kicked Naruto out, and Hokage gives Naruto his apartment

Of course, Taiga and his grandma were the frequent visitors there they bring the food to eat, just like Naruto comes to their house every so often.

Naruto truly like the grandma, she is always smiling, to him, Taiga was like his brother and the old lady was truly his grandma.

They were 7 years 6 month old when she brought both Naruto and Taiga to eat at Ichiraku ramen

The two kids eyes widened once they tasted it and they cleaned 6 to 7 bowls

The two kids and the Old Lady becomes the frequent visitors to Ichiraku Ramen

------

"Hey Taiga, why do you have 2 surnames", asked Naruto

"Grandma said it's to remind me of my parents, to make sure I never forget that they loved me till their last breath"

"Do-Do you think my last name means my parents loved me as well"

"Yes Naruto, grandma always told me that everyone is in this world is here because they are being loved, no matter how little, no matter how insignificant, you are here, because your parents loved you"

Naruto was crying at this point

-------

During the academy days, Little Taiga was the Best at studying, he is also the top-notch at the physical side which makes him a Top Grade Student.

Last being Naruto and Second Best being Sasuke

Naruto because of some reason becomes the rival of Sasuke, but he never won

As for Sasuke, He always showed flames and a desire to be ahead of Taiga.

Taiga was a little afraid of Sasuke, he is a little too competitive for his good, It's not like he is some kind of a prodigy either, what does he think he is, Uchiha Itachi?

-------

Hinata was crying at the park all alone

"Why are you crying?", asked Taiga

She got startled by the voice but let it go

"I-It's nothing"

"Sigh...Hinata", He moved ahead and before she could say anything else, she got hugged

"w-what are you doing", she tried to push him but he held on to her

"I don't know what happened so I don't have the right to tell you this, but I do know that you are the kindest and most powerful kunoichi in our class... So cheer up girl, because I am sure Whatever it is, You will be able to overcome it"

"W-what are you t-tal-king about", she was red-faced after hearing it.

"Does that makes you feel better"

"W-What"

"You know, Whenever I am down grandma always hug me, and I always feels better"

"T-That, I do t-thank y-you", said Hinata smiling

"That's great I have to go, but remember Hinata, No matter what, overcome any obstacle with a smile, and if you can't, remember your friends are always here for your help"

He runs towards his Grandma who was waiting for him

"Thank you Taiga-Kun", muttered smiling Hinata

-------

Just like that 4 years gone by, Hinata and Taiga are always seen together

They spent much time together

"So... Do you like Naruto that much?", ask Taiga while returning home with her.

Hinata being red face nodded after a bit of hesitation

"Then why not talk to him about it, he is a blockhead, and he definitely won't be able to tell"

She was red-faced and kept looking down

"Want me to talk to him?"

"N-NO", She suddenly yelled

-------

His training alongside his grandma was going well, She taught him how to sense chakra, he is not a sensor, at least he is not born like that, but due to his training, he pretty much becomes a chakra sensitive.

She even begins his training of flying Raijin level 2

Of course, it's supposed to be tougher than level 1 but since Taiga already knows the basis and space-time being his sole affinity, it becomes easier.

Not to mention the almighty Grandma was watching it like a hawk.

-------

Time went by and he somehow passed the academy, being the middle of the pack...

Grandma told him to do that for some reason, He never questions Grandma's decisions.

Sasuke was the top student of the year

Naruto failed

But later due to some reasons unknown to Taiga Naruto passed

Afraid that taiga will hate him, Naruto decided not to tell Taiga or grandma about Jinchiruki

Not Knowing, Naruto's every move is being watched by grandma

-------

Taiga learned Flying Raijin Level 2 just after graduation day, of course, he could not do it effectively but he can put it into use

Besides he already mastered Level 1.

-------

'Genma Shiranui' was enjoying his day when ANBU comes to summon him

"Lord Hokage"

"Genma, from this day onward you are going to be an instructor of 4 man team"

"L-Lord Hokage"

"Do you have any problem with this?", asked Hokage

"O-Of course not"

"Very well, you will be team 2, here is the list of all your members"

"First is Yakumo Kurama, she is the last remaining member of main branch Kurama clan"

"Second is Sarutobi Ken, he is a hard-working guy although his talents are just average"

"So who is third?", asked Genma after some minute of silence

"Uzumaki Kanzaki Taiga...he is the entire reason why you are being asked to be the instructor of this team"

Genma's eyes narrowed, "Why, who is this kid?"

"Sigh...he learned Flying Raijin"

"W-WHAAAT"

"I know, it's shocking, although he can put it into use, though this kid could not apply it in battle like Minato, your job is to train him on how to apply the Flying Raijin in battle, the more effective he can apply it in battle, the better it is"

"Please don't worry Lord Hokage, I will train him with the best of my abilities"

"Don't forget about other two kids, now dismiss, I have other works to do", asked Lord Hokage puffing his smoke

"Please rest assure I know what to do", with that he disappeared in the leaves
