I am now 5 years old and 2 months, today i am supposed to be trained as always, but for some reason my brother told me he has something important to do, and the weirdest thing is, it will be for 1 week.

Not only that, but somehow my own mother is quieter than ever, and i am not gonna lie it worries me a lot.

For 2 days i have been training alone, and sometimes i take a walk around the compound, buying groceries and stuff for my training, weights, kunai, shuriken ect...

I improved a lot the month followed my training to learn my first jutsu, i gasped the jutsu in 3 days, it was surprisingly easy, i just needed to know how much do i pour in the jutsu to do it perfectly, i also asked my brother for the Body flicker, but he said for me to get used and find the use of my already learned jutsu in combat, so we spared with it, and boy it was exiting.

While in Kenjutsu part, i got better, i am not doing the beginner mistakes like before, now i am a force to be reckoned with in Kenjutsu.

In my way home, i decided to confront my father, well this is if he come home earlier than normal, i just hope he will not be tired when i speak with him about the matter when he get home, late or early... I need to know.

So a moment later, i got by home, helped my mother, and talked with her a bit to relieve her stress that i started to notice, so i tried to make her forget about her worries.

The night came, we ate, like i expected, my father is not here, and even with all my tries to make her deviate her attention from the situation, i saw my mother getting grim.

So to help her a bit, i got my self to clean the dishes even with the protest of my mother, but i won with my kiss and hug then told her to sleep well.

So i cleaned everything, at the moment it was 10:53PM, i waited in the saloon, reading one of my already finished novel about a samurai.

I kept reading until i heard the door open slightly, putting away my novel to my pocket, i stood up and walked to the front door direction.

I arrived and saw my father taking off his ninja chooses.

I greeted him "Hey dad, was waiting for you to get back home."

He looked at me with his tired eyes, then smiled a bit "Tadaima."

I crossed my arms and said "Wanna eat or drink something? mother is asleep, and you are tired."

He nodded slightly and said "Thank you." then he went to the saloon and sate to the couch.

While me i was taking a glass of water and the meal that we ate I and mother that i reserved for him to come, even if it is cold, it can be eaten.

I approached him and gave him his food and the glass of water, i said "Sorry the food is cold, don't know how to warm it up."

He nodded with tired eyes and a smile "Thank you anyway, i can eat it."

He started to drink water first then ate his food slowly, while me waiting beside him with my novel.

For 10 minutes, it was quiet, well it was only the sound of fork that hit the plate my father eat.

So he finished his food and took his plate and glass to the kitchen, then came back and sate with me at the couch.

It was an awkward silence this time, but it broke when he said the first words "I guess you wanted to know what is going on, right?"

I close my novel then tossed it to my pocket, i nodded "Yes, my mother is worried sick, i guess it was for my brother who is i don't know where, but i know my mother knew, but i decided to know it from you."

He hummed and said "Thank you for not speaking with your mother on this matter, but honestly this matter concern the security of our clan, even our existence."

I frowned a bit, thinking for what i would do, do i stop here? or try to come the truth as close as possible "Did we get compromised?"

He shook his head "No, i do believe we didn't get compromised, but this is one of the risks that follow their departure."

I perked up, looking at my father with a confused expression "What do you mean? who's leaving?"

He looked at me for a moment with a grim expression, he said "There is a slight chance to go on all out war with the Uzumaki clan."

My eyes went wide, i looked at the ground, my head being supported by my two hands underneath my jaw. (Sasuke pose)

'A war ? why a war with them, we saved them, how and why in the world would they want to start a war and leave, and apparently they are underpowered as we have more number and more experience, did they lost their mind? and why...'

"Don't overthink to much, you are still young, you still don't know about politics and their reason for that, but one day i will tell you, don't worry, and for your brother matter he is currently patrolling the area where we do believe the confrontation will happen if they try to leave or try a breakthrough first before leaving, the majority of our spy and guards is patrolling and monitoring their movement around their compound to see if they start a rebellion or not."

I frowned and looked up at him "What do you mean rebellion? aren't they free or something?"

"Technically no, but economically and socially they are puppets to us, like i said, don't overthink it, i will tell you after all of this calmed down, this kind crisis is not the first and not the last, i assure you, anyway," he got up and walked to the saloon door, he stopped and said "The formation center will be able to accept you, i can confidently say that you are more competent than the recruit, so there will be no problem in them accepting you as a recruit."

I also stood up and said "What do you mean formation? kind of a school to train spy's?"

He chuckled a bit and said "Well yes, a school but not only for spy, for shinobi capable recruit they send them to be spy's, then they do what they want, but center work for civilian as well, the likes of farmers, builders, doctors and ect, but you your formation will be for spy's, you being a 5 years old child was difficult to make you in, and the base age there is 8 years old, but i know you will love that," he then chuckled a bit "even if your mother will kill me if she discover that i recommended you, anyway go to sleep, today 'till next week prepare yourself, it's not hard but i honestly like to brag about my spawn." he finished with a smile.

I had my eyebrow rised, then laughed a bit, "Alright alright, i will show off a bit i guess," i walked beside my father, hugged him and said "good night Otou-san"

he returned the hug "Good night to you too, and make me proud okay?"

We broke off and walked up stairs while waving "Alright alright."

I got upstairs, took my pajama, got showered then dressed.

I got to my bed, i closed my eyes letting the dream world guide me.

Well like i said it will be a short chapter, but hey at least update, it will be like that everyday 'till 10 days, hopefully, anyway, thanks for reading, don't forget to fav the chapter if you loved it, and review the story and tell me what is wrong with what i do, maybe some ideas that i will use, anyway, it was a 1203 word chapter.

See y'a!
