Chapter 14.

As i was musing i saw hokage sama sitting there still with a sad expression.

" It is nobodies fault, All the fault is that war. Grandpa why is there war in this world. Why can't the world be at peace. what can war bring other then sorrow and death." I asked in confusion this was the first time i thought of something as profound as peace.

"There are many reasons for war but the most common one among them is Benefits. People forget about everything else when it come to benefits. They completely drown themselves in this momentary benefits that they will forget about the sorrow it brings and feel proud for it. These are the type of people who bring chaos to the world. But humans will always come to war because of one reason or another it is better to know about the reason then facing unknown. We can deal with it as long we give them enough benefits but we have to balance it we cannot back away as in this world only strength matters, if you have strength then you will have the right to speak if not others will just snatch everything." He said with a thoughtful look.

"That is why it is the job of us ninja to use strength to keep the balance and work out for peace. The first hokage fought for this peace just it was momentary. Me and Nidaime sama also want this peace but it is still not looking good all I can do now is to give village people a peaceful life even if it means sacrificing everything including myself" continuing he said with determination.

" I have decided i would live for peace it will be the goal of my life. Although I don't understand what you said properly but still it helped me make up the resolve to fight." I replied to him with a firm gaze.

' Although I know Naruto brought peace after the fourth shinobi war. But there is always a chance that things might go south. That's why I will become strong enough to support him. I know i am no protagonist so i will give my full power to help the child of destiny to reach his goal.' I thought.

Grandpa looked at me with a proud look as he seemed to be satisfied with my reply I could feel he was genuinely happy as his eyes were glistening.

He said " This time I will not stop you from what you want to do. I will announce to everyone that i have adopted as my grandchild. Making it easier and no one will make any underbanded moves at you. It is good to reveal talent but sometime revealing to much will lead to unnecessary trouble you must learn from this. The Ninja way can be described by the idiom 'playing pig to eat the tiger' you should keep this in mind." he taught me.

"Yes grandpa I understand." Happy for finally having a relative although i liked to be alone but having someone always feels good.

" Since the important part has finished and i have not given you any presents before you can ask me anything you want. I will do my best" He said happily.

I thought for a while when i realised that according to a filler episode in Naruto there was kid who used Sword of thunder godwhich was used by Nidaime-sama which means he was good at kenjutsu. I can't ask for the sword but the kenjutsu can be obtained without making it difficult for Grandpa.

So i said to him "I want Nidaime-sama kenjutsu techniques and records of how he practiced."

"This will not make it difficult for you right." I hurriedly continued with slight worry and expectation in my voice.

" Its ok i will give it to you but you to make sure not divulge it to others." he said with a smile.

We continued to talk, most of the time it was him talking about how he did when he was young, different adventures and others. I was enjoying it as well took some of his experience which i thought might help in future. This didn't go unnoticed from as he looked at me with a praising look.

" At that time we were in the land of grass when..." He stood up instantly as though something important happened.

" Looks like we will have to stop here for today. We will continue some other day." he said while getting ready to depart.

" It isn't anything bad right grandpa." I asked him with a nervous expression.

" Everything will be okay you don't have to worry just concentrate on your studies and make me proud. Your kenjutsu scroll will be delivered later. Goodbye." He said

"Thanks Grandpa I had fun today. Bye." I said while he departed using the Body flicker jutsu. While i went back to training, only by finishing basics can i even think about starting Nidaime's kenjutsu training.
