46 - Sandaime's Headache - 4

After that Anbu commander is constantly making complaints about work load. Every time I say, you can compare your workload with my workload, he ran away instantly. Hehehehe.

Why i am rejoicing, this workload is gonna be main reason for my death and i am being happy about it.

We still can't find the other person who is killer of 3 Uchihas. And i started with paperwork again.

As i were doing paperwork, I heard knock on door. Please be a good news.

"Enter"

Daikoku entered office. 

Daikoku: "Hokage sama, I have come to report about clan students' class."

"How are they doing?"

Daikoku: "Excellent actually? This year Chikako Nara came third, Hinari Hyuga came Second, and Ikki came third. Overall class's result is excellent. And they all got bonus point for Kawaimi no Jutsu. and everyone performed basic Katas quite nicely, so we might start Shinbobi kumite for this class in 2nd semester of upcoming year. In first semester, we will teach them against dummy, so they know how hitting someone feel like."

At last, i got hear some nice things. Because of this kids, I can feel my lifespan increasing.

"Can you describe top 3 for me?"

Daikoku: "Yes, Lets start with third rank. Chikako Nara, is of course lazy as its Nara clan's main Kekkei Genkai [Hehehe], but because of influence of Ikki, he is somewhat more active. He performed exceptionally in theory parts and in kata performing, he was ranked 5th, overall he came 3rd because of this."

"Active Nara huh, He already have moniker for himself."

Daikoku and I chuckled on that.

"Continue"

Daikoku: "Second rank, Hyuga Hinari, Got basic trait of Hyuga, straight face, and good taijutsu. She was somewhat bad compare to Nara kids, but still she ranked at 5th position in theory, and ranked 2nd on katas display."

I nod.

Daikoku: "For first rank, Ikki, He is calm, composed, sometime out of hand crazy, but because of that never caused issue to anyone except Chikako Nara and me [Hahaha]. They both have become best friends. [Good]. Ikki ranked third in theory parts, couldn't beat Nara in intelligence. He was ranked, first in practicals. His chakra control was exceptional. He already started in tree climbing exercise. About his katas..."

There was some delay. 

"What's the issue?"

Daikoku: "When he started performing katas, initially it was normal. I think he always performed it as shadow boxing. But when he started hitting, he liked that feeling, and he went to war with dummy. Initially, punch power was same as normal kids, but then his punch and kicks started to strengthen, and his speed increased about 3 times. I think he subconsciously started using chakra in that exercise. It is normal trait for fighters."

"Good. you have raised nice kids Daikoku."

Daikoku: "No no, Hokage sama, I am just guiding them. Its all their efforts. Especially, first 3 ranker students. They are geniuses in their fields."

I nod. They are geniuses alright. 

Daikoku: "I will take my leave Hokage sama."

"okay. Nice work with kids. keep it up."

After he leave, i thought about Ikki's performance in Taijutsu. That must be natural chakra course for kenjutsu. His chakra is ambiguously assisting him in raising his physical strength. And when he goes in fighting mode, that chakra strengthen him. If his taijutsu katas made so much impact, what will happen when he holds the sword. Tatsumo has done one more favor to Village. 

Old leaves wither to give space and nutrients to new leaves. I need to make sure no one finds out about Ikki. Specifically my good friend. But i am not that worried. He would give up on him, as soon as he opens his medical history and about Hyuga kid and Nara kid, he don't have guts to piss off Hyuga clan and specifically Shadow Demon (Kage Shura).

As soon as i thought of it, I remembered next day after clan meeting, when Shikaku came in my office.

[Flashback starts]

Next day after clan meeting was over, i was sitting in my office doing paperwork. Yes, paperwork. I might just burn all of this down. Just one fireball. But afterwards, i need to do this all again, so i gave up on this idea, 1000th time today. And continued working. I heard knock on door.

"Come in"

Without lifting my head I know, The person who entered is Shikaku. 

"Dog remains, others leave."

After 1 min, 

"Now Shikaku, which group of 3 you were talking about?"

Shikaku: "Hokage sama, this was pointed out to me by my clan member. So please keep this secret."

I nod.

Shikaku: "Clan member i was talking about is Chinatsu Nara."

"Kage Ashura, huh. So three members, you were gonna talk about must be, Ikki, Chikako Nara and Shishui Uchiha."
