"How long will this seal last?", said one voice.
"Probably forever, as long as the… circumstances are met", replied the other
"How about the Jikan Suto no Jutsu (Time-Stopper Jutsu)?"
"A few years, from either 5 to 20".
"Good, everything's in place then".
"But", said the latter, a bit unsure, "I don't see the point of all this. Why are you setting all these precautions?"
"The others will surely come for him. For his… inheritance from me".
"Yes, but you'll be able to protect him, right?"
"If I meet my downfall, the answer to that will be in jeopardy"
"How can you possibly fall? After all, you are-
Yishan awoke with a start.
It was the same dream again, two people speaking, talking about something like a seal. It kept bothering him again and again.
Looking outside his apartment window, he saw the first rays of light shine through. The Hidden Leaf Village was beginning to wake. Another day with nothing to look forward to.
"Wait", Yishan muttered to himself, He was wrong, he suddenly remembered that there was something important today.
The entrance ceremony to the Academy.
Yishan, like all the other children in the village, will be entering the academy to learn ninja skills, starting from today. The idea excited him, as it involved learning more about ninjutsu. He already knew some jutsus, but the prospect of becoming stronger was one he would happily embrace.
But then, there was the other children.
Up until now, Yishan has mostly stayed indoors in his apartment. There wasn't really anything to do outside. Neither did he want to deal with the other children.
Not that he had anything against them, it was just that he was different.
Entirely different.
Yishan had no parents. At least, he doesn't know who or where his parents were. All that he did know was that he was found as a newborn in the ruined village of Uzushiogakure, with nobody and nothing else to accompany. He was discovered by Anko Mitarashi during a scout mission, and brought back to the village. Ever since he grew old enough to do so, he took care of himself, with a stable stream of finances from the village.
But he only befriended a precious small amount of the children, only the ones he trusted: Boruto Uzumaki being the best example.
Maybe today, though, he'll start being more open to the village. After all, he didn't like the sound of Sasuke Uchiha's attitude when he was young, which he was dangerously close to achieving.
4 hours until the ceremony. Yishan liked to get prepared earlier. He got out of bed, went the closet and put on a pair of long black track pants, and a grey sweater on top of his current blue t-shirt.
Brushing his teeth in the washroom, he examined himself. Good-looking face, deep yellow eyes. The most distinguishable feature, however, was probably his deep-blue hairstyle. Let loose and medium-long length, it covered one of his eyes. He was looking at a face that would probably charm at least one kunoichi from the academy.
He was struck out of his daydreaming of his attractiveness to girls by a strike of pain in his back. "Not this early in the morning", he thought.
It was the seal again.
A seal was imprinted on his back, only he knew about it. What the seal did, he did not know. He didn't want to tell it to the village as he thought it would probably make him a pretty strange character.
It wasn't like he hadn't put any research into the seal. It didn't resemble any sealing pattern recorded. It was a diamond shaped symbol with a lot of weird patterns in it. Squares and twirls, among others.
He forced himself to stop thinking about the seal and finished brushing his teeth. He then ate breakfast and sat down on the sofa in his living room to watch television. It was what he did all the way until there was just 20 minutes left until the ceremony began. It took only 5 minutes to get to where the academy was from his house, which meant he had 15 minutes to get prepared.
His apartment was near a vacant training ground. Yishan got out of his suite and headed off towards the training ground to get some last minute practice.
He already knew a whole lot about chakra, so he understood how to control it. Research showed that he possessed 4 different chakra types: water, lightning, fire and wind. Yet he could not do jutsus from all 4 types yet.
Yishan took a deep breath. Starting from today, he would be doing ninjutsus on a regular basis, so he better began practicing what he already knew.
Performing rapid hand signs, he got ready to unleash the first jutsu of the morning.
Dragon, Tiger, Hare. All set.
"Suiton: Mizurappa (Water Style: Raging Waves)!"
He blew out rapid water from his mouth, completely flooding the patch of grass around him.
"One chakra type down, three to go", he thought.
"Katon: Ryuka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu)!", a mass of fire ignited and launches towards the flooded grass, then fizzled out.
"Time for Fuuton, Wind Style".
"Fuuton: Shinkuha (Wind Style: Vacuum Wave Jutsu)!", and a rush of air rushed forward, knocking off some branches off a nearby tree.
Yishan stood, a bit exhausted. The final jutsu was one of his best, and from what he had known about ninjutsu, it was quite rare, with him possibly being only one shinobi who can use it.
Horse, hare, bird, dog, tiger, followed by a few unknow hand signs.
"HYOTON: SENCHI-", his bellow was interrupted by the alarm coming from his watch. There was only 3 minutes to go until the ceremony started.
"Oh no", Yishan trembled. There was no way he could make it to the Academy in three minutes. Guess there was only one way, but what if it was seen by the other villagers?
"No matter", he muttered to himself, "they won't know or guess it was me". Besides, it was the only way to get there on time, and he didn't want to be late.
Biting his thumb, he got some blood and performed the hand symbols for this specific jutsu.
"KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU (Summoning Jutsu)!", he yelled as he pressed his hands onto the ground. There was a poof of grey smoke.
A quick while later, a lightning-infused bird appeared, massive and golden with an electric glow.
"Hey, Leiyi, haven't seen you in a while".
