Chapter 6: Studies

"Good very good"

"What's so good Ikki-san?" Akane-sensei comes to my side and asks with a smile, making my heart flutter.

'Damn it! I almost died of a heart attack', I give Akane-sensei a stern look while taking a deep breath.

"It's not very respectful to get close to a skinny person Akane-sensei" I say and try to put on a disappointed face.

'hump! let's see how you handle it'

"What are you talking about Ikki-san?, obviously I got here 5 minutes ago, but you're lost in your thoughts, so decide not to interfere" Akane says with a victorious smile, as she starts pinching my cheeks.

"So that was the case. I'm sorry Akane-sensei, it seems I kept you waiting too long", I show a sad face with tears in my eyes.

"A..ah, it's not your fault Ikki-san, I'm responsible for teaching you so early, so it's only natural that you didn't pay attention to my arrival" she tries to ease my guilt and lift my mood.

'But there's no way I can let her out so easily, after all, I can't allow everyone to pinch my cheeks and get away with it'

"B-but… what I did is wrong" to top it off, I pretend to be about to cry and Akane-sensei starts to panic.

*Ding*

[Acting leveled up]

"Na..no, it's okay"

"So if it's all right, it's fine! Now we should start studying before any more time passes Akane-san" I show my best smile as I skip to the study hall.

Meanwhile, Akane-sensei is rooted in the room with a blank mind, the gears in her head begin to turn rapidly to understand the situation until she realizes that she has been tricked.

With an increasingly red face and a cruel expression, she walks elegantly into the study room.'You brat, you think you can fool me, but you forget who your teacher is. Hmmm! I'll increase your study load 10 times, then you'll come to me begging for forgiveness'

Akane enters the study room and looks at Ikki with an affectionate smile, but her eyes show a hint of evil.

'hehe, looks like Akane fell into my trap. Never in her wildest dreams would she suspect that a child would be plotting against her, muahaha!'

With one more plan completed, I return my focus to the beginning of the class.

"Very well Ikki-san, I heard that you are the newest genius in Konoha, so I hope you perform well in my classes"

"Don't worry Akane-sensei, I'll do my best!. Besides, you can call me Ikki-kun"

"I'll think about it if you can surprise me, for now let's start with the history of Konoha"

And so five months passed.

===General POV===

Ever since Akane started teaching and met Ikki, things keep getting better and better. Akane was quite surprised that the boy didn't complain about the extra activities, but he seemed to be enjoying it and sometimes even showed an expectant look. But seeing as he had such a keen interest in studies, she had no sense getting mad at a little joke.

Ikki also began to improve his handwriting, which would eventually be a basis for learning the Sealing Techniques. To get the necessary result, it was necessary to have both fast and precise movements.

Also, Ikki was rapidly improving his knowledge of Konoha's history, its geography, mathematics, basic knowledge of a ninja (only the theoretical part, no jutsus), etc.

In the meantime, Ikki discovered that Akane was extremely intelligent, being often hired by clans, merchants, wealthy people or people with important positions to teach their children.

She basically knew a lot of subjects on a deep level and those that she didn't know at that level, she had a general knowledge of the subject. This is due to her parents working directly under the Hokage as scribes, causing the many books now available in the Konoha library to have passed into her hands to ensure that no restricted content was made public.

So, being her daughter, she was no wonder she had such knowledge. A pity that soon I will be reaching the same level.

===POV Ikki===

"Come on mom, I don't want to be late"

"Don't worry, no one will run away from you because of a few minutes late"

Today is another day that I go to the Senju clan, but unlike the other times, my mother invited Mito, Tsunade and her mother to take a tour of the village. These are good times I have to spend with my mother.

"Emi-san, here!", hearing the familiar voice, stops my thoughts as I look in the direction of the voice.

"Oh, Aunt Miya, it's been a long time" runs towards the direction to give a big hug

"It's only been a few days, but look at you, you're already missing me"

"I can't help it, the time inside the complex is very tedious"

Well, there's no way to avoid it, as an anomaly it's hard to find people willing to talk and Miya is one of them, Ah, I don't think I introduced her, her full name is Miya Senju, daughter of Mito Uzumaki and Hashirama Senju and mother of Tsunade.

With this combination you would expect her to be very talented, which is right, but she never liked being in fights and is very clumsy, making her never become a ninja.

Her heart is very kind, that's what allowed me to be so close to her, now I consider her part of the family.

"How are you and Tsunade-chan doing, Granny Mito"

"I'm fine, while she's very happy that you decided to go on the ride with her"

Mito also noticed how much I enjoy spending time with her on our visits and with her penchant for children it also allowed me to call her Grandma Mito, which made our relationship closer.

"I am also very happy, besides that I have a new story to tell"

"Very good, when we get to the square you can take advantage of the moment to tell her" says my mother, who has just accompanied me.
