Sharingan

The next day, Makira did his daily chores as usual. Hiro still hadn't returned, but the boy decided not to dwell on it. Closer to lunch, Minato came running to him, who was already ready to go to training with him, taking their things together they headed towards the playground.

While they were sparring, Makira stopped his movements for a second, taking off the weights and said: - "Let's practice in chakra control"

- "Why do you need this, we are already doing very well. We can even safely stand upside down on a branch!" Minato replied, looking at a friend who for some reason behaves strangely.

- "We need to improve our chakra control, maybe we can move on a solid surface without any problems, but what happens if we start sparring on water?" Makira said, heading towards the waterfall.

Hurrying after their friend, taking off their weights at the same time, they both headed towards the source of the noise. Usually this place is used for swimming, but since it is a remote place, it is very rare to meet other people here. Taking off their clothes, they headed for the water.

Trying to control the chakra on his foot, Makira slowly stepped on the surface of the water, but could not resist and fell into the water. Minato did not laugh, because he knew that he would certainly make his first step no better than his friend, but expectations exceeded even himself. He slowly but confidently managed to take three steps at once, Paka did not fall either.

- "How did you do it?" Makira asked, hoping to find out the secret of his friend who was able to take a couple of steps.

- "Well.. Try to use less chakra, but direct it to every part of the leg. When we usually walk on walls, we don't need to worry that it will crack because of the chakra, but when we walk on the surface of the water, we need to better make sure that the chakra does not flow out in all directions, which is why the water just goes out from under our feet and we fall. " - trying to make a smart look of the teacher, Minato began to explain to him in his own words how he understands himself.

Minato, although he did not have much talent, but his thinking abilities allowed him to develop at a very fast level than other children, which was noticed more than once in the development of other techniques. If Makira needed an accurate description or instructions for performing complex techniques or techniques and he will easily remember, then Minato can easily sort out all the shortcomings and choose the best conditions for the successful execution of techniques.

Getting back on his feet, Makira poured chakra into his legs, but not as much as usual, instead he made a very thin but uniform layer of chakra, as his friend said, and began to move slowly through the water.

The guys walked on the water for hours, despite all the failure, they had no desire to give up this business for later, so they practiced walking until they were tired, not paying attention to the fact that the time was getting later.

So the days passed. Hiro still hadn't returned home, and Minato and Makira were still doing their daily weight exercises, and then returning to their water walking workouts.

On the third day, Minato and Makira were already running all over the water, throwing shurikens at each other and dodging them. After they were already exhausted, Minato took two sheets from his bag and handed one to Makira: "This is a chakra paper, I bought it, they told me that it can show what element a person has a predisposition to."

Picking up a piece of paper, Minato poured his chakra into it. After a moment, part of the paper shrank, another burned and a small part was cut, forcing Minato to smile happily and he said: "I have a predisposition to the element - Lightning, Fire and Wind, cool!"

Seeing how his friend rejoices at this, Makira also repeated his movements and the paper also split into three parts, which showed his elements of Fire, Lightning and Earth, to which Minato happily congratulated his friend that they had similar results, except for one element.

Getting up from his seat, Makira stretched his body slightly and looked towards his friend and said: "I need to tell you something, but promise that you won't tell anyone, even if it costs you your life. To which Minato replied with complete confidence: "My mouth will be kept shut, because secrets among best friends are something that only we will know!"

Pouring the chakra into his eyes, he activated his sharingan with 1 tomoe and removed the bangs from his right eye and looked towards Minato, forcing him to open his mouth wide in shock. He knew that it was not worth hiding such things from his friend, someone who is an important person in his life for him.

- "Wow! I always knew you were from the Uchiha clan, but you always said you weren't from their clan, but now I'm completely convinced!" - getting up, he approached Makira, putting his hand on his shoulder and said: - "You always reminded me of all these Uchih, both in appearance and character, but I know that you have a kind heart and you will not become as arrogant as they are"

- "Of course I won't, they got rid of me as a useless thing and the only one who cares about me is Hiro, but even he still hides that he is my own older brother. Makira replied with a blank expression.

- "What?! I thought Hiro was just your guardian, but you don't look a bit like him, except for the hair!" - rubbing his chin, he sat down next to Makira and said: - "But even so, there is some reason that does not allow him to talk about the whole situation, for sure it's for to protect you. He is a very good person and I can see from his eyes that he is not like other Uchiha and that he has a really kind heart."

"Sooner or later, all secrets come true. The day will come when I will find out everything" - with determination in their eyes, they headed towards the waterfall to swim and wash their dirty bodies from sweat after a hard workout.

The days pass unnoticed and Makira's 5th birthday is about to come and the day when he will have to apply for admission to the ninja Academy.
