Chapter 2: A Revelation and Training Begins with a bit of Trouble?

The first year as new parents were extremely rough on Minato and Kushina. It took a couple weeks until all the paperwork and the interview(s), to see if they would be suitable parents, especially considering Minato was still a shinobi, were over. But, in the long run it was all worth it. Or so they thought. The constant wake-up calls throughout the night, whether it was because Bryon was hungry or because he needed changing, were exhausting.

It was difficult to tell who had it worse. Kushina because she was always at home in the village with the baby, or Minato because he would be woken up when he was home and because he got little sleep when out on the frontlines to begin with. And they found out real quick that the boy ate a lot. It was like saying Minato was fast. A complete understatement.

On occasion, Hikari and Hiashi offered to watch over baby Bryon so that they could relax. They after all, were looking to have children one day.

Every now and then Kushina, and sometimes with Minato, got together with Tsume and/or Mikoto , who each had a child his age. Tsume Inuzuka's daughter Hana, since they were only two days apart. And once Mikoto's son, Itachi, was born and grew a little older, they had them get together as well. Usually all three children played together, rather than just two of them.

As they grew, and were old enough to start running around, they began playing outside together. Mostly they played tag, or hide-and-seek. Fairly easy games for a few four years olds.

Kushina and Minato had seen them play hide-and-seek, and often noticed that Bryon had always found the others rather quickly. At first it took him a while to find his friends, but it didn't take long until he could find them just a couple minutes, at most, after counting. This got them curious, and they wondered if he was a 'Sensory type'. It would explain things.

Now Minato and Kushina, along with Tsume and Mikoto, were watching one of these games. And it was now Bryon's turn to count. "Hold on a second, Bryon." Minato called out, getting everyone's attention.

"Yea, dad?" Bryon asked, running toward Minato as he did so.

Once Bryon had come up close, Minato kneeled down to whisper something into his ear. Once finished he backed up a little, and asked. "Do you understand?" Minato's response was Bryon looking at him curiously. *Sigh* "Just go count, and when you're done then just do as I say ok?"

"Uhhh, ok." Bryon answered, as he turned around to lean up against a tree to start counting. Once he was done counting, Bryon came off the tree. "Ready or not, here I come." Bryon called out.

Just as he was about to go running after them, Minato called out for him to stop. "Hold on there Bryon."

"Minato, why are you budding into a kid's game?" Kushina asked, curious as to what her husband was up too.

Turning around slightly, Minato replied. "I just want to test something. You've noticed it to, Kushina. I just want to find out if our hunch is correct."

This earned him some curious looks from Mikoto and Tsume.

"Alright, Bryon. Do you know where they are?" Minato asked, as he turned back toward his son.

"There's no way he could know where they are. He's just four years old, same as Hana and Itachi." Mikoto thought.

Tsume had similar thoughts. "Heck, Hana hasn't even started learning how to use chakra to increase her sense of smell yet."

"Uh, yea. Why?" Bryon asked, wondering why he couldn't just go find them. Because he wasn't really paying attention, he missed the shocked looks from Kushina and the other two women.

"Can you tell us where they are please?"

Confused, Bryon just pointed over to a large boulder toward the middle of the yard. "Itachi is behind da big rock." Bryon said, before pointing a little higher. "And Hana is behind da tee behind him."

As if to prove him right, Itachi and Hana came out from behind their respective hiding places. This mildly surprised Kushina, but outright shocked Tsume and Mikoto.

"No way! How'd he do that?" The two women thought.

"Bryon. Do you know how you did that?" Minato asked, already knowing the answer, even thought Bryon might not know it. "I thought so. He is a 'Sensory type'. And he's already this good at it. He'll be one heck of a ninja one day, that's for sure." Minato thought.

Bryon just shrugged his shoulders. "I dunno. I feeled them." Bryon answered.

"You felt them." Minato corrected, with a smile on his face. "Alright, because I interfered, you should restart the round. Sorry about that." Said Minato, as he sat back down with the others. While the children did just that. The adults laughed slightly as Hana stomped up to him and asked him how he did that and if he was cheating.

"How'd he do that, Minato?" Tsume asked.

Minato just smiled, as he responded. "He's a sensor. He can sense chakra. That's how he's been able to find those two so many times, as quickly as he has been."

"He can sense chakra? He's four. Hana can't even use chakra yet." Said Tsume, surprised at the revelation.

"Neither can he. I'd know if he could." Minato replied.

"I wonder if we should start teaching him how to manipulate chakra. What do you think, Minato?" Kushina asked, earning raised eyebrows from Tsume and Mikoto.

"I've been thinking about that myself. But, I'm curious about what his sensing range it." Minato answered.

"You know, Fugaku and I have been thinking of starting Itachi in our clan's taijutsu. After all, he is old enough to start learning how to be a ninja for the Uchiha Clan. Doesn't hurt to prepare him for the academy in a few years." Stated Mikoto, bringing attention to herself.

"Hm. I guess I could start training Hana as well. Can't have her too far behind, once she enters the academy in a few years."

"Oh!" Said Kushina, getting everyone's attention. "Wouldn't it be awesome if those three get assigned to the same squad when they graduate?" Kushina asked, receiving smirks from everyone as her answer.

"Heh. It's unlikely, but it's possible." Said Minato. "Hm? Hang on, someone's at the gate. Be right back." Minato then stood up to see who was at the front gate.

*Sigh* "Probably another dangerous mission. I really wish this war would just end." Said Kushina, as she solemnly looked over toward the children playing in the yard.

"Yea, no kidding. Luckily, you and I have retired. But still, it would be better if the war just ended. That way, our children won't ever have to worry about going to war." Said Mikoto.

"Yea. Anyway, how's Kakashi and Rin? Are they still taking the loss of Obito hard?" Tsume asked.

"Don't remind me. I really liked Obito. He would've been a good role-model for Bryon, and any other children Minato and I might have." Kushina answered, suddenly finding the ground interesting.

After a moment of silence, they heard a commotion inside. Kushina and the others got up to go check it out. Once inside, they followed the source of the noise in the bedroom. Just before they entered the room, Minato came rushing out wearing his full Jounin outfit. Minato came to a sudden halt.

"Minato? What's going on?" Kushina asked, worriedly.

"Sorry, Kushina. I just got word that Rin was captured during her mission. Kakashi heard of it, and ran off to go retrieve her. I have been assigned to a different, yet more urgent mission. Again, I'm sorry. but I really have to go. Tell Bryon I love him, ok. Bye." Minato explained, giving Kushina a quick kiss before rushing off to go on his mission.

"Oh, please. Let Rin be ok." Said Kushina, in a low whisper.

"Mom. What wrong wit dad?" Bryon asked, as soon as he came in through the back door.

Steeling herself, Kushina turned around with a smile. "Oh, he just had to go on an urgent mission. He'll be alright." Kushina answered.

Despite being so young, Bryon somehow knew there was more to it. But he left it as is. "Ok. Mom?"

"Yes, sweetie?" Kushina asked, as she picked him up and held him on her hip.

"Can I be a ninda?" Bryon asked, surprising the three women.

"A ninja? Well, why do you want to be a ninja?" Kushina asked.

Bryon just put on a big smile, as he answered. "Because, I want to help dad on missions."

His answered surprised the women, but also brought a smile to their faces. "Is that so?" Kushina asked, getting a nod from Bryon. "Well then, we'll have to start teaching you soon then. Don't you think so?"

"Uh huh." Said Bryon, nodding enthusiastically.

"Well, for now just keep playing with your friends. Ok?"

"Ok, mom." Bryon replied. Once his feet were on the ground, he rushed outside to resume his playing with Hana and Itachi.

-Later in the village-

Kushina was currently walking through the village with Bryon holding her hand. Kushina was worried about Rin and Kakashi, so she did what she usually did when upset or overly worried. Pig out at Ichiraku's. It's been a while since she's eaten there, and it would be the first time for Bryon.

They soon made it to the small ramen stand. Walking past the curtains, they saw Teuchi manning the stove. His eldest daughter, Hitomi, standing on a step so she could help serve the ramen to customers.

"Evening Teuchi. How are you?" Kushina greeted, before placing Bryon on one of the barstool.

Looking over his shoulder, Teuchi replied. "Kushina! It's been a while. And I'm fine, how 'bout you?"

*Sigh* "Fine, I guess." Kushina answered.

Teuchi had known Kushina and Minato for years now. So he knew when something was up, and they didn't want to talk about it. Of course when it came to Kushina, it meant to give a large amount of ramen to help her feel better.

"I gotcha. So, I guess the little one is this Bryon I've heard so much about?" Teuchi asked, having changed the subject after taking their order.

Now sporting a smile, Kushina answered. "Yea, he sure is. And he wants to be a ninja."

"Oh! Is that so? You think he'll be aright?"

"I'm sure he will be. We just confirmed a theory of ours earlier today."

"And what would that be?" Teuchi asked, very curious now.

"Well, it turns out Bryon is a 'Sensory type'." Kushina answered, with pride being heard in her voice.

Teuchi whipped his head around in surprise. There weren't many sensors period. Most of them came from the Hyuga Clan. Others would learn sensory type ninjutsu to sense the presence of others. The only other person in the village that was a born sensor, was Minato. But he didn't start sensing others until he was about to graduate the academy. Yet here was a young child, that could already sense the presence of others?

"You serious? He's four isn't he?" Teuchi asked.

"I thought only the Hyuga were sensors." Said Hitomi, deciding to enter the conversation.

Kushina looked toward her, before she spoke. "Not necessarily. Hyuga make great sensors because of their Byakugan. But in some cases, other ninja are sensors as well. Most learn a special ninjutsu so they can sense others, but others, like Bryon and Minato, are born with the ability. And I think that Bryon may even be on a higher level one day, if he isn't already. heehee."

"Oh." Hitomi replied, while mumbling something about dumb teachers not being specific about their teachings.

"And yes Teuchi, I'm sure. He was playing hide-and-seek with Itachi and Hana, and for months now he's been finding them almost as soon as he's done counting." Kushina explained, receiving an 'O' expression on Teuchi's face.

Ten minutes later, Kushina and Bryon were eating their ramen. Bryon had some trouble with his chop sticks. So Kushina had to spend a few minutes teaching him how to hold his chopsticks. Eventually, Teuchi's wife Miu walked in with their younger daughter Ayame.

"Ah, Kushina. One of those days, I see." Said Miu. Miu was as tall a Kushina at about 5'5. She had short brown hair, like her daughters, that curled under her ears and up to her cheeks. Hitomi shared her mothers hair style, while Ayame's just hung down to her shoulders.

Kushina swallowed her food before replying, as Miu placed Ayame onto the barstool next to Bryon. "Yea, unfortunately. Anyway, I see you brought Ayame this time." Kushina mentioned, seeing the girl staring at her adopted son.

Miu noticed this as well, and smiled. "Ayame." Miu said, getting her daughter's attention. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself to him?" Miu asked, getting a light blush from Ayame.

Yet Ayame went ahead and introduced herself. Tapping Bryon on the shoulder, Ayame got his attention. "H..hi. I'm A...Ayame Ichiraku. W...what your name?" Ayame asked, with a slightly darker blush on her face. Said blush only went unnoticed by Bryon.

Giving a small smile, Bryon introduced himself. "I'm Bryon Namikade." Bryon said, unknowingly giving a slight mispronunciation in his name. Bryon then went right back to his ramen, since he didn't want it to go to waste.

Teuchi and the others couldn't help but smile at the scene. Hitomi was even humming a teasing song toward Ayame. "Bryon and Ayame, sitting in a tree..." This resulted in a deeper blush from the little girl. She recognized this tune because she had done the same thing to Hitomi, whenever she saw her with a boy. Even if they didn't look like they had an interest with each other.

-Later-

Kushina was walking home with her son, when he decided to ask a question. "Mom?"

"Hmm. Yes, sweetie?" Kushina replied, looking down toward her son.

"What does it mean dat I'm a sensor?" Bryon asked. He heard Kushina and Teuchi talking about it earlier, he was just too busy eating to ask about it.

"A sensor huh. Well it means that you can feel where people are by their chakra. That's how you know where Hana and Itachi are, when you're playing." Kushina answered, with a smile.

"Oh. What is chaka?"

"Heehee. Chakra is what you need to live. And you need to learn how to use chakra, so you can be a ninja. Understand?" Kushina asked, after giving him a simple explaination.

"Kinda." Bryon answered, giving her a questioning look.

"Well, don't worry. You'll understand it all better when you're older. Now. Let's get home, have some dessert, give you a bath and then it's bed time. Ok."

"Ok, mom."

-Two months later-

It's been almost two months since Rin Nohara's funeral. The details about what happened were only known to a select chosen few. Kushina and Bryon, along with Rin's parents, have all cried at the funeral. Even Minato shed a couple tears for his student.

Bryon had remembered Rin. He remembered how nice she always was to him. How she healed his scraps and bruises when he got hurt, or how she sometimes snuck him some candy. He always had a smile on his face when she showed up. Especially she he could sense her near by, he'd always yell out her name. This would always let his parents know that she was close. Even though Minato could sense her as well.

It had been a rough week for Kushina and Bryon. And although Minato and Kakashi took it hard, it hardly seemed like it. They were still shinobi of the village afterall. So they had to put their grief to the side, in order to focus on their missions.

Speaking of which, the mission Minato was given, wound up having him face the man who'd later become known as the 4th Raikage. This man's name was A. Kushina was a bit worried that Minato had run into the man, but since Minato came back unharmed, she didn't worry too much about it. Especially when she heard that before his mission, he was soon going to be named Hokage.

The war with the Hidden Stones had died down against them, but they still had their battles with the Hidden Cloud to deal with. Despite this however, Minato was now just a week away from being named the Fourth Hokage.

Bryon had decided to ask about what the Hokage is. "What is a Hokage?" Bryon asked, as they were eating lunch.

Minato and Kushina looked at Bryon. It was Minato who answered. "Hokage is a title. He is a ninja who protects the people of this village, and also sends them out on missions. The Hokage is also considered to be the strongest ninja out of everyone in the village." Minato explained, as simply as he could.

"Oh. Does that mean the Hokage has the most chakra?" Bryon asked, having learned more about chakra.

"That's definitely a part of it, yes." Kushina answered.

Looking over toward his mom, Bryon asked. "Are you a ninja, mom?"

"I was. A long time ago."

"Then why aren't you Hokage? You have waay more chakra then dad." Bryon said, somewhat shocking his parents with his statement.

"Now Bryon. Why do you say that?" Minato asked.

"Because mom has blue and red chakra. And the red chakra is veeerrry big. But only mom has the red chakra." Bryon explained.

Minato and Kushina stared wide eyed at their adopted son. "Incredible! Even I can't really sense the Nine-tails inside Kushina. Bryon is something else. To be able to sense the Nine-tails through the sealing jutsu." Minato thought, surprised yet also somewhat proud.

Kushina had similar thoughts running through her mind. And like Minato, she could help but be somewhat proud of him. Kushina and Minato made eye contact, having a silent conversation.

Deciding it was best to tell him and have him understand, Minato and Kushina turned back toward Bryon. "Bryon. The red chakra you're feeling, isn't Kushina's." Minato began.

Bryon just looked at them confused as to what he was being told. "Huh?" Was all Bryon could say.

"Bryon." Kushina began, gaining her son's attention. "Their are these beings called Tailed-Beasts. There are nine of them. Understand so far?" Kushina asked, getting a nod in response. "The 'red chakra' belongs to one of them. It belongs to the Nine-Tailed Fox. And the Nine-tails is sealed inside me."

Kushina paused, letting the information sink in a bit. Bryon just stared at her, before asking something. "Sealed?"

"Basically it means that Kushina is like a prison, and the Nine-tails is a prisoner. Understand?" Minato explained/asked.

"Ooooh. So does that mean the Nine-tails is bad, because the chakra feels very mean."

"The Tailed-Beasts are normally used as weapons for the Hidden Villages. But we're just keeping the Nine-tails from causing trouble, and from being used against us. But, the Nine-tails will attack us if it's not kept away. So, in a way, yes. It's bad." Kushina explained.

Bryon just stared at them as he let the information sink in. Although, all he really paid attention to was the actual answer to his question, and that it'll attack if it's free. "Ooook. So, we're safe right?" Bryon asked.

"Yes. We're very safe. No need to worry, alright Bryon?" Minato asked.

Both Kushina and Minato were nervous to how he would take the information. But were relieved when he just smiled and said. "Ok. But I still think mom in stronger."

Minato hung his head, but couldn't keep a small smile of his face. Kushina however just laughed.

Once Kushina calmed down, she spoke again. "Bryon." She said, gaining Bryon's attention again.

"Yea, mom?"

"The whole thing about the red chakra and the Nine-tails, it's a family secret. So you can't tell anyone, ok?"

"How come?" Bryon asked, wondering why it was a secret.

"Because, not everyone would understand. If they knew, they would be mean to your mom. That's why it's a family secret. Can you keep it a secret? It would make your mother and myself very happy if you did. Ok?" Minato asked, after giving a brief explanation.

Making one's parents happy, is something every child would want to do. So Bryon immediately promised not to tell anyone. "Ok! I promise to keep it a secret!"

Smiling Minato responded. "Good. Thank you, Bryon."

"Now, how's bout we start teaching you some 'Sealing Jutsu'. Would you like that Bryon?" Kushina asked.

"Yeah!" Bryon yelled.

-One month Later-

It was now the middle of January. Minato had been Hokage for three weeks now. And he was enjoying it, to an extent. Going on missions during a war was one thing, but sending others on mission during a war was different. Yet, he still enjoyed to be living his childhood dream.

Minato and Kushina were currently at home, after a long day at the office. It was cold outside, but Bryon's training in sealing justu was going better than expected. Minato and Kushina didn't think he'd pick up on it as well as he has been, but they weren't complaining. They of course started with simple seals, about how they work and how to draw the markings of the seal.

The one thing they did have to hammer into their son, was to be patient when drawing the markings. They explained to him the consequences of what could happen if you were too impatient. Although, it took them to explain that a mistake could even kill the user to finally drive that point home. So, Bryon learned to be more patient. He started going much slower than he did at first, but that was better than rushing through it.

Minato and Kushina of course, never let Bryon try the drawings with actual sealing supplies. They wanted him to get used to drawing the seal with typical ink. Practice made perfect after all.

At first he would have the actual sealing array in front of him, and he would just copy it. Then he had to copy it from memory alone. Once they were confident that he could preform his first 'Sealing Jutsu', that they were now going to test him.

"Alright, Bryon. This is a simple 'Storage Seal'. Now, just do as you've been practicing. And take your time." Minato said.

Carefully, Bryon picked up his brush and began to draw the markings required on the scroll in front of him. Bryon had practiced this over and over and over, to the point where he could see it in his head as clear as day. He almost flew through the process of drawing the seal. He wasn't a pro who could draw out the array in just under thirty seconds, but for someone his age it was still impressive. He had managed to finish the array in two minutes.

"Finished!" Said Bryon, as he placed his brush down.

Peering over Bryon's shoulders, Minato and Kushina looked down at the scroll. With two 'Sealing Jutsu' masters as parents it wouldn't take long for them to spot any mistakes. Fortunately for Bryon, there were none.

"Great job, Bryon. It's perfect. Ready to seal something in it?" Minato asked, with a large smile on his and Kushina's faces.

"OOH OOH! CAN I?" Bryon asked excitedly.

"Of course. You've been training hard." Kushina replied.

Aside from 'Sealing Jutsu', Kushina, and sometimes Minato when he had time, had taught him how to manipulate and control his chakra. He had actually managed to complete the tree climbing and water walking exercises. Although it's been cold outside, it was never cold enough for the water to freeze. None the less, Minato had taken him to the hot springs for the water walking. But had first let him adjust to the water temperature before making any attempts, otherwise he'd get burned.

Being handed a kunai, Bryon placed it on the scroll and performed the 'Ram' (Or sheep, which ever you prefer) hand-sign. And in a *poof* of smoke, the kunai was gone, and the kanji for the word kunai appeared on the scroll.

Patting Bryon on his shoulders, Minato and Kushina couldn't be more proud. "Congratulations. You've just performed you're very first 'Sealing Jutsu'. We're proud of you." Said Minato, as he and Kushina smiled down at him.

Bryon just laughed and smiled back up at them. He felt very proud of himself as well. Although something like this was very low level in the 'Art of Sealing Jutsu', he had managed to accomplish this in just a month at only four years old.

-Two months later-

The past two months have gone pretty much the same since Bryon started his training in 'Sealing Jutsu'. Mostly, he'd been learning how to tweak the storage seals to fit different uses. For example, instead of storing one kunai, he could now store any number of kunai. As long as he made that adjustment. Or he could seal any other object, also as long as he made the proper adjustments.

Now with it being the middle of March, Bryon had spent the last two weeks perfecting the 'Water Walking' exercise. Even though he could now walk on water, they were now having him learn how to better maneuver on the water's surface. Now, he could run and jump around on the water as if he were on land. And he could even move as he were skating on ice. He would sometimes make his parents laugh as they watch him play on top of the water.

Currently all three members of the Namikaze family were at home, and Minato was training in the backyard. Kushina and Bryon were watching him train. Bryon was amazed as he saw his adopted father, and his clone, move around so fast that the only thing he could see were yellow flashes. Soon the clone was dispersed, and Minato turned his sights on a training dummy. Holding his right hand to the side, he gathered his chakra in the palm of his hand. Once finished, it looked like a small blue ball being held in the palm of his hand.

He then rushed forward and rammed the jutsu against the training dummy. Most of said dummy, flew off in separate directions. While the last of it ended up being hurled away and clashed against the boulder in the yard, leaving a small dent in it.

"WOOOOW! How did you do that dad!?" Bryon yelled out, amazed by the justu he just saw.

Looking back at his son, Minato asked. "Uh, which one? The clone, the fast moving or the 'Rasengan'?"

"The blue ball the went BOOM, when you hit the dummy!" Bryon replied, with a lot of enthusiasm.

Minato smiled and joined his wife and son. "It's a Ninjutsu called the 'Rasengan'. I made the jutsu myself. Only myself, my sensei Jiraiya and Kakashi can use this jutsu. It's very powerful, as you just saw." Minato relied, with a smile.

"Can you teach me how to use the 'Rasengan'?" Bryon asked, hoping he'd get to learn his dad's powerful jutsu.

"Heheh. Sorry son. But it's too dangerous for a boy you're age. But, I'll be more than happy to teach you when you're older. Does that sound good?" Minato explained, earning a pout from his son.

"Fine." Bryon replied.

"Heehee. Well, I've got some news to share." Kushina stated, gaining their attention.

"What is it, mom?" Bryon asked, curious about what is mother has to say.

Smiling, Kushina replied with a question of her own. Only it was directed toward Bryon. "Well, how would you like to have a baby brother or sister?"

Bryon first looked on curiously, but after a moment he realized what his mom was talking about. And he couldn't help but have a big smile on his face. He had heard that Hana and Itachi were going to have a baby sibling, and he had stated that he wished he could have a baby sibling too. To say Bryon was excited, was an understatement.

Minato however knew immediately what she was implying. So he stood up, picked up his wife and kissed her passionately. However, they were interrupted by their son yelling.

"I'm gonna have a brother or sister!?" Bryon asked out loud.

Never having lost her smile, Kushina replied. "Of course. Are you excited to have a little brother or sister?"

"Uh huh!" Bryon answered, vigorously nodding his head.

"Well, in about seven months you'll have one." Said Kushina, causing Bryon you pout again.

"But, that's soooo looong." Bryon complained, bringing his parents to chuckle.

"Don't worry, Bryon. By the time the baby is born, the wait will have been worth it." Said Minato, placing his hand on Bryon's head affectionately. "Just be patient, ok?"

"You mean like with my 'Sealing Jutsu'?" Bryon asked.

"Haha. A little more patient than that, but yea. Think you can do that?" Minato replied/asked.

"Hmm. OK!" Bryon replied, with a big smile.

-Next morning-

The sun was barely up. Bryon had gotten up and went outside, quietly so as not to wake up his parents. After he went to bed last night, he started to remember a conversation he had with Itachi. Itachi had said something about it being an older brother's responsibility to protect their siblings. So once he woke up this morning, Bryon decided to try and see he could use the 'Rasengan'.

He figured he didn't have a lot of chakra to try over and over, so tried to remember how his dad had performed the jutsu. After about ten minutes of thinking, Bryon believed he had it figured out. "Ok. He had the chakra spinning very very fast, and he made it look like a little ball. It was also very strong when he hit the dummy."

Bryon then went over to the boulder in the yard, held out his hand in front of him and tried to see if he got it right. Never knowing that he was being watch from the kitchen window. "Hmm. I wonder what he's up to, so early in the morning." Kushina thought, as she watched her son outside by the boulder.

Meanwhile, Bryon was busy focusing on his chakra. He was trying, but he was failing. He was getting the chakra to appear and spin, but not like the way he was expecting. After a few tries, he stopped and went back to thinking how it went. He sat down in a meditative position, like he had been taught, and focused on the jutsu when it was in his dad's hand.

Soon, only the jutsu itself was on his mind. On his mind and up close. He could now see how the jutsu looked upon closer inspection. He could see multiple individual strand of chakra. Each spinning in different directions. And there he had it, he only had his chakra spinning in one direction. Standing back up, Bryon tried again. This time after a few attempts, he now had a fully formed 'Rasengan' in his hand. Only it was smaller than Minato's.

He then ran the few steps toward the boulder. Not hearing his mom shout "NO!" as he slammed the jutsu against the boulder.

The jutsu had done just as he had seen the day before. It was creating a sizable dent in the boulder, until it released a shockwave that sent Bryon flying back. Causing him to land hard on his back and knock the air out of him.

*Gasp* "Ooowww. That hurt." Bryon stated, as he was being picked up off the ground.

"Well, what did you expect to happen!? Minato said that you weren't ready for that jutsu, and this is exactly why!" Kushina yelled, causing her son to flinch.

Bryon was silent. Not because he was hurting, but because he knew he was in big trouble.

And that's chapter 2. Hope you all like it. Please read and review.
