Chapter 1.2


"Good morning cousin. What brings you here?"

The blonde young master when he saw that curious glare and smile from him, his senses were telling him something.

A possible evaluation. Those blue eyes whose owner will capture many maidens' hearts in the future that contain seriousness and slight

That's right, a test/evaluation of himself by this kinsman.

This event that happened way before his arrival two weeks ago, occured during the third day of [Foundation Week of Yamato Empire](1), the first day of 3-day [Sword Clash Tournament](2) of his original timeline at the lounge.

Naruto will not forget that. The fellow made a lot of contributions way beforehand that will make low-income bracket nations, groups and business entities get their hands on after hearing such talent one and for all.

Naruto himself personally, loved people with talents under his service provided they have redeeming traits.

He, himself started expanded his skill sets recently since he doesn't want to be useless. No way would he will be like that!

The blonde young master took a seat beside him while reminding himself inside that he got plans of adventures just like his father who pulled the same thing when he was alive. How did he know that? He got it from his original timeline. Naruto would execute that action in this current timeline since according to the custom on his beloved realm, the ruling Yamato Monarch will always wear a fox mask to cover their face at all times even in public events(those who are truly within their circles can see their faces behind it). His deceased father did that as proven by records of His Majesty Minato Namikaze the King of Yamato Empire and the Yondaime Hokage, Arashi Kazama.

Of course, Naruto will not be taking the 'Kazama' for his incognito public and adventuring persona because of the damage done by one particular skill that can many would kill of - Flying Thunder God, which he already learned and together with his unmatched swordsmanship combined, it'll make enemies or anyone who pisses him off, wet themselves.

"Do you mind helping me with my goals in the future as one of my strategists and generals?" Naruto asked the curious white haired demonkin(3).

Without saying a word, Shiro closes the book and asked Naruto a question. Usually, the 'normal' Shiro was playful and easy-going but the current Shiro wasn't.

"Helping you out in your goals? Pray, can you tell me what are your goals and why you seek me out? Surely, there must be better person suited than me. I am just same age as you, five years old." the half-blooded Senju replied with bashful look on his face.

Naruto's facial expression remained the same.

'I will never allow him to die...because he's my family who will become my lord!' an image of revigored teen-version of Shiro stopping an assassination attempt on him during that day, flashed his thoughts like a clock flowing back in time.

Naruto will never forget that. His party and nearly all of his royal guards(majority dead) were surrounded. If not for the half-blooded Senju's sudden arrival and being the unmatched swordsman in the realm and later the world itself, he would have been dead in the original timeline.

"Yes, that is bring out prosperity and peace throughout the continent."

"And how will you do it then?"

"Love and bringing out reforms for the betterment. If there is a need to use force, I would like to make it less bloody under my watch."

'I didn't expect this..his eyes and tone speak of determination..wait, I need to be sure...' the blonde's answers made Shiro interested. So far, he heard the young lord a bit not interested in studies and training as the future ruling monarch before he returned from training trip three weeks ago night time. It made Shiro a bit weary. Distant, calculating and cautious because it might bring some shame and bad reputation to his reputation in the future or within his peers due to association. He wanted to avoid that. The recent one, the present from the Hokage and some others, caused himself to challenge their claim of 'his kinsman showed determination as the future ruler similar to the deceased predecessor.'

Without further ado, he gave his kin an answer. "Very well, if you pass five trials that will start two weeks from now, I will be under your command."

Hearing that, the inner chibi Naruto let out grin at such challenge.

"I will tell you the details on that day, so please take time to prepare yourself."

Shiro stood up and left the Royal Library with book in hand, leaving the blonde alone there.

'If I have a choice, I will use that ..the problem is the opportunity..'

The restrictions on this tournament are killings of participants, no usage of poison unless the user got an antidote, must be registered a month before the event, and usage of non-registered parties' assistance in winning the match.

(3)Demonkin = a term referring to youkai. There are various types. For the royal family of our protagonist's case, they're fox-type/kitsune.
