10 minutes passed by with Shun almost losing his mind as he witnessed his daughter playing around with Naruto and climbing his body. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets and his heart out of his chest while the children were completely unaware of his worries.

Shun was about to take action and he had made up his mind to save his daughter when Naruto's body turned back to normal and he was once again a tiny little baby floating in the air as he slowly descended on to the floor.

Mana quickly caught Naruto so that he won't fall and held him with love; this was her first time holding a life so fragile and lovely. She looked at Naruto and touched his cheeks playfully and caused the infant to giggle.

Shun on the other hand adjust himself after seeing what happened and wished to dig himself a hole to hide as he was too embarrassed at the moment.

'Damn that yeti, he made me lose face in front of my angel.' Shun wanted to curse but just smiled and watched his lovely daughter as seeing her happy made his worries lessen.

"Mana, you can take Naruto for a tour of the house and play with him until I call for you." Shun said in clear manner and left once he received her approval.

For a child of four Mana was quick to mature just like most children of large houses and clans or sects as they received training from younger age and would develop their powers faster.

Shun was very happy as his little star was a special since she could see through an illusion which he was incapable of and he was on the third stage of cultivation while she had just entered the first stage.

'I wonder what kind of power she will develop but first let us plan a celebration and call Nina.' Shun thought as he walked to his study and was thinking of planning a party to celebrate the ascension of his daughter to a level beyond mortal.

In his happiness he had already put aside the spectacle with Naruto and hummed a tune as he went his way.


Mana carried Naruto in a careful manner that she never showed before as she was worried that Naruto might get crushed under her hands by mistake. She moved slowly and explained about things as she came across them.

The servants were awed and giddy as they watched the adorable scene of Mana explained things and moving in such a careful manner, which even brought a tear to few of them.

"Naruto look, this is a picture of Mother. Isn't she pretty? She will definitely love you."

"Look look, this is one of the replicas of the artifact Gaea Bolg. They saw the real one never misses its target but it has been lost since a long time. I don't understand why it is considered important since many weapons have a similar function and it doesn't seem to have anything more than that. Maybe it can kill anything it pierces or something."

"This is my favorite. It's a replica of the artifact that is owned by the Demon Lord of Greed, Beelzebub. It has many functions and the most well known is the amplification of energy type skills by multiple levels and it can even absorb the power of others completely, allowing the user full access to those abilities. This weapon in old ages almost destroyed the world, which should tell of its power."

"This is the garden where you can find special plants which father and mother have planted. It is a very good place for training and we will most like spend a lot of time here so that you can be strong like big sis."

"Come on Naruto, call me big sis" Mana muttered as she sat down on the grass and heaved a breath of relief. She found walking at a crawling pace was torturous after always moving at a face pace and this even made her respect others for actually doing this so easily.

"Mana"

"Mana" She repeated slowly but Naruto couldn't really form any words and just smiled at her innocently.

"Gaga"

"Hehe" Mana laughed a bit as she heard him. Most children would not like to be taking care of others but Mana didn't really have friends and she always wished to take care of someone just like how her father takes care of everyone.

Shun was her role model so she was happy to have responsibility as it will help her develop the qualities and skills needed to be like her father.

Mana sang a lullaby and swung Naruto from the right to left in a delicate manner, which finally put him to sleep and even Mana dozed off. The task had caused her to tire easily since she was not used to moving in such a slow manner and would always speed around.

The servant came out of the shadows as he had been keeping watch and picked up both of them through telekinesis. He walked towards Mana's room and put both little ones to bed while leaving a servant to watch out for anything.


"Waaa" Naruto cried out in hunger as he woke from his nap

"No need to cry, I am here" Mifune looked down at Naruto and put milk bottle to his lips, which Naruto took with fervor.

Mifune had spent a day with Naruto and already realized his schedule. He was meticulous in his dealings so he made sure to leave a seal on his body in case of such problems.

'Milk from the Sword Goat should be good for his growth and to help it become higher quality, even I put miniscule amounts of sword intent.' Mifune thought as he watched Naruto with a calm look.

After a while Mifune picked up Naruto as he was finished drinking and held him up. Mifune didn't wait and poured his energy inside, to make Naruto's body stronger and help him digest the food but he had forgotten one thing.

Naruto was a baby and he didn't have control over his bladder or any other function so Mifune's face was met with the golden shower for a second. In that second, Mifune was hit in the eyes with the golden liquid before the barrier came up.

The barrier didn't come up because it didn't consider that an attack and Mifune had to use it manually. Mifune didn't react much and just put Naruto back on the bed as he used the cleansing jutsu, which cleared any external element on the body and made it completely clean.

"Kuku"

Mifune turned around to see Mana trying to suppress her laughter and failing to do so. But once Mifune looked at her, Mana was lost in those eyes that contained unfathomable power and wisdom.

"Sorry" Mana muttered in shame which came from the soul as she found herself unworthy

'No! Resist, Resist' Mana's eyes shimmered with for a second as a voice rang inside and disappeared as it came, suddenly.

"Clean up Naruto and bring him outside" Mifune said and walked away

Mana gained back her normal demeanor once Mifune left and took a deep breath as she felt it had been very hard to breath. The voice had mixed with her inner desire so she couldn't tell that it was not the case and ignored it.

"Mean Old man, isn't that right Naruto. Once I am older, I will show him." Mana muttered under her breath as she decided to change Naruto's diaper instead of asking a servant.

"I can do this." She muttered as she took of the dirty article and used the water from the basin that a servant provided silently without asking for a command.

But even after a few minutes she was unsuccessful in her attempt as Naruto moved around too much and messed it up.

"Aghhh" Mana screamed in frustration and threw the diaper down on the floor.

"Why are you doing this, little brother?" Mana asked pitifully and received the same results like always

"Young Miss let me guide you. Mister Mifune doesn't like to wait." The Servant said in a respectful manner and quickly handled the job, his skillful handling made Mana gawk like she had seen something unexpected.


"Sit down" Mifune commanded as Mana stood in front of him and she followed it without a question.

"I heard that you arrived at the first stage of cultivation, the Beyond mortal stage. That is good as my teachings will be much more useful now." Mifune muttered slowly as he tapped Mana's forehead with his cane, which shone at the tip.

The Chakra from the cane caused Mana's chakra to resonate with it and pulsate in a rhythm.

"How is it?" Mana dared to ask, it was a question bugging her since she gained her chakra.

"Good, strong chakra and it seems you will have large reserves." Mifune responded as his chakra traveled through Mana's body, making an accurate analysis.

"Yes!" Mana shouted in joy and jumped from the ground up to 10 m

Mifune didn't mind and let Mana have her happy time but it seems Mana really wanted to mature. So she stopped once she landed and apologized.

Mifune nodded and tapped the ground, causing small round pieces of earth to float around him and slowly catch fire.

"Your elemental affinity is highest with earth followed by fire. This rare for people in our country and some people might be negative about it but you should not mind it. All elements have their advantage and depend on the users." Mifune said as he moved away from Mana and the flaming earth spheres revolved around him.

Mana's attention was on the simple display of power and was feeling excited. She was let down by not having the water element but it didn't get to her head as she already knew each element had powerful users.

Mifune nodded in approval and suddenly the spheres shot at Mana, with speed close to the speed of sound the spheres rode through the air and hit Mana.

Mana was surprised at the sudden move and barely reacted, and moved her body in the nick of time. Nonetheless, Mana suffered a hit on her right arm as she was unable to move out of the way.

"Sss" Mana hissed in pain and looked at Mifune in fear

"You should always be ready for combat. This world is unpredictable and anything can happen so never let down your guard." Mifune muttered in calm tone as he sat down and indicated for Mana to sit

"I will train you to fight, I will train you to best utilize your chakra and I will train you to ascend to a higher level as I can see good potential in you but achieving all that depends on your hard work." Mifune continued as he took a lotus position

Mana would have run for it but she had already been informed that Mifune was a serious person and Naruto was also sitting only a few meters away from Mifune.

She sat down without making a sound as the damage wasn't so bad; just a slight burn and some scratches.

"First step in our chakra training will be to learn the passage of chakra inside your body and to control it manually. This step is crucial and the foundation of cultivation along with usage of skills." Mifune explained as he extended his cane and tapped Mana's forehead allowing her to see the movement of chakra within her body.

The chakra was of pinkish color and it moved slowly like a turtle, the amount was barely close 2 liters of water if it was liquid.

"20 points worth of chakra, which is equal to 4 E rank jutsu or a single D rank of the lowest class." Mifune provided Mana with clear cut estimation of what she had at the moment and didn't tell her that it was 4 times a normal person's chakra at the beginning of the first stage.

'Will she keep the difference in reserves even at a later stage?' Mifune questioned as it intrigued him

Mana nodded and closed her eyes as she sank into her mind, remembering the feeling. All she could see was darkness but she kept concentrating and the chakra appeared clearly to her.

Mana observed it with patience and excitement along with a slight fear of making a mistake. She watched it flow slowly and understood the negative consequences.

'I need to make it faster and increase the amount.' Mana thought as she tried to interact with her chakra with her mind. The first try was a failure and she continued to fail.

Mana's patience ran out and she was feeling stifled from the failure. Mifune didn't say anything and just meditated near Naruto, who seemed to be dreaming and trying to mutter something.

The servant was watching from afar and was intrigued by the child as he read the lips. 'Sing me to sleep, is he asking for a lullaby?'

While the servant's attention was on Naruto, Mana stood up and took a heavy breath. She looked at Mifune with frustration after seeing him so relaxed and stomped towards Naruto.

Mana stopped in her tracks and walked back to her place, she stood there while watching nothing and trying to see if she could get back her mojo.

Mana's will to succeed made her come back instead of going to Naruto and complaining about Mifune being mean.

'I can do this, I am Mana Mishima.' Mana encouraged herself with this mantra and focused deeply on the chakra flow. With the immense concentration, it finally affected the flow slightly.

"Good work that is enough for now. Remember that feeling and work hard as things will not always go your way." Mifune muttered as he stood up, the process had gone for two hours and it was time to move the schedule.

"Now get ready for physical training. The training your father gave was hard but compared to mine, it will be child's play so it is your choice if you want to continue or not." Mifune elaborated as he knew Shun babied his daughter and wouldn't wish for his daughter to be forced into training she didn't want.

Mana's head lead her to some very dangerous thoughts, where she imagined dipping into the Yin Sea or the Yang Volcano. Facing the death wind or surviving many other dangerous things of legends.

"I can do it." Mana managed to stutter out her response as she steeled her heart

"Excellent, I am happy with your choice child." Mifune smiled slightly and moved, his foot hit Mana's abdomen and sent her flying.

Mana was shocked and only stopped when she hit a tree that had been harvested of its mystical fruits. Her breathing was ragged and tears were coming out of her eyes from the pain she felt.

"Ahh"

"Get up" Mifune said in a cold tone

Mana was scared and wanted to run but his eyes kept her grounded, she knew her legs won't move and her hatred for Mifune flared. She punched the ground and took the mud, which she slung at Mifune.

Mana realized that with anger she could move and she let it flow through her heart, which resonated with her chakra and strengthened her body.

Mana's eyes shone with pink light and she ran at Mifune with crazed expression.

"Don't let anger cloud your judgment and always watch your opponent's movement." Mifune commented as he avoided the crazed assault and once Mana's kick passed by him, he caught her by the color and slammed her into the ground.

Mana snapped back to reality as she hit the harsh surface and lost most of her chakra. The pain and fatigue along with fear caused her to cry like a child.

"Sir Mifune if you don't mind, could you please show a little bit of mercy. She is just a child. Instead of fighting her so harshly, physical training would be better along with light spars." The servant came out and picked Mana, who latched onto him like a Koala.

Mifune looked at Mana and thought a bit, "I cannot make it light but I will try being less harsh. I seem to have forgotten whom I was training."

"Thank you." The servant bowed and left with Mana

'A tiger doesn't change his stripes but it shouldn't mean that I can't change.' Mifune thought as he watched Mana disappear and walked up to Naruto.
