[Minato Namikaze]

I groggily open my eyes and see an unfamiliar ceiling. Never thought I would say that... Wait what?

I abruptly sit up and through my bleary eyes see a mop of red hair and hear it laughing like a third rate movie villain.

"Why are you laughing like a third rate villain Kushi-"

Holy shit! It's bitch Mito sama. Shit...shit! She looks like she is about to murder me. I can't even fight her...Fuck fuck fuck...

"Let's just forget anything like this happened or you will be subjected to untold pain...Am I clear boy?"

"Yes Mam!"

That's right. Nothing happened in the last minute. I just woke up. I didn't piss off the woman who fucked me over some hours ago... Actually for how much time was I knocked out?

"How much time has it been since our fight, Mito-sama?"

"About 3 hours I think and you can call me Grandma or Granny kid, you have earned it. Though I wouldn't call that a fight. I was just giving a beating to you kid."

Yeah, I definitely didn't her piss her off if she lets me call her Granny. It stings a lot but what she said is true. I have to work my arse off to reach anywhere near that level but that doesn't matter does it? What matters is that I am going to be the best shinobi this world has ever seen... That kinda went in a shonen direction but honestly that pure power Lady Mi- Grandma no Granny Mito showed me is the reason I am working so hard aren't I?

"Thank you for... healing me Granny Mito but I didn't know that you were a medic as well?" I honestly didn't know that. No records ever hinted on this possibility.

Granny Mito suddenly looks a bit irritated. Oops... Did I ask something sensitive?

"I... didn't heal you kid, it was my granddaughter Tsunade..."

And there goes my assumptions... Still getting healed personally by a Sannin would be considered a honour in the future, that I am sure of...hehehe...

Granny Mito looks weirded out by my laugh. Was my laugh that creepy?

"It's weird to see you actually behave like a kid for some change. You behaved too much like a shinobi for me to think of you as a kid."

Ok...that was a pretty weird reasoning but to each their own I guess? Grandma Mito comes closer to the bed and then sits on its edge. She stares into the empty space for a second or two and then pats me on the head. I tense for a moment before relaxing. She has that motherly aura around her. Kinda makes me forget that she beat the shit out of me some hours ago...

"You performed quite well. I don't think any genin would have lasted that long before me... You are on the right track. In 5-6 years you will definitely be a S rank shinobi...but that's not what I want to talk to you about... That 'Rasengan', how...did you make it?"

Shit! Shit! Shit... Wait what am I afraid of? Judging by her curious expression, she is just curious about it? I guess there isn't any harm in showing her other than being scolded for being reckless. If I had been someone in Naruto's generation, I would have been fucked if I had shown someone my Rasengan. I confirmed one thing though.

Fighting Minato is reckless Minato. I don't believe I would have actual have shown my Rasengan to ANYONE before it properly finished but my adrenaline-high near unconscious brain thought it was a good idea to use it on a S rank Jinchuriki. Well at least I didn't damage myself doing that... I put my hand on my mouth and cough slightly to make Grandma Mito focus her attention on me.

"Ahem... So basically, I read Lord Second's notes on chakra theory he left in the academy notebooks-"

"Tobirama you stupid shit! I told ya to not do that kind of fuckery...ugh.."

I am surprised as hell to see Granny reacting so strongly to this... Is this reaction normal? She then looks at me and as if suddenly remembering that I am here, says:

"You don't worry about that. It's just I warned Tobi to not write complex theory like that in academy notebooks but he always said that any ninja worth their rank would definitely check the academy books once again before reaching their prime. It's not as if actual academy students will try this stuff. And now we have you little Minato who actually read that stuff... That explains a lot about you to be honest..." She goes back to contemplate on some stuff while I try to digest this revelation.

So that means that the notes were meant for actual Genins and Chunins... What the actual fuck? Why the hell would Tobirama do that? It's the kind of shit actual retards do...No no... Maybe that's why? He may have done this as Genins and Chunins get instructions from their Jonin Instructors and don't actually read any books of any kinds except if they want to study medicine or poisons... That's bloody brilliant.

Genins from genin corps can get actual guidance from these books! Even genins and chunnins wilth actual Jonin Instructors can take advantage of this goldmine but then why... Oh fuck... Tobirama didn't account for the fact that most genin and chunnin would consider academy to be a waste. He must have thought that any intelligent shinobi will think of getting guidance from that the available books.

That's not the fucking point Tobirama!! No one without extreme deductive skills would think of doing that. Most of the the people who read those things must have chanced upon that shit and secondly ithe excercises are pretty hard to actually perform so shinobi who actually benefitted from those notes would be incomparably small.

Most Jonins wouldn't tell their juniors about shit like this out of sheer spite due to missing such opportunity. Tobirama strikes-

"So why don't you continue what you were talking about... Sorry for interrupting your explanation. I would like to know how a kid came so close to inventing an A class Jutsu..."

"Oh please, the Jutsu isn't finished yet. I plan on making it a S class one."

She raises an eyebrow at the declaration and says," If it was anyone other than you, my brother or maybe Tobirama; I would have decked them across the face for speaking such an absurd thing but I believe that you can do it.."

Seriously? She believes me? Yay-

"Ouch! Why did you hit my head? Itte te..." " To remind you to humble down a bit. Having confidence in your abilities is great but not overconfidence."

I rub my head after that painful chop. Well...she is right but I am not really overconfident. Oh well let's actually continue...

"Ok let's actually talk about the Rasengan this time... without any interruptions" I glare at her for a bit while saying this. She doesn't really respond beyond nodding her head a little.

"So after performing most of the chakra exercises recommended by him, I came across the fact that none of the exercises made us move chakra in different directions at once. I was understandably miffed about that and tried to create one of my own. I picked water balloons as they are likely to explode if chakra moves inside them in several different directions at once and they wouldn't harm me even in the worst case scenarios."

"Hmm... That's quite clever"

"Anyways, that was a success so I thought of taking the experiment a bit further. What if I tried to explode an object with neutral chakra? You know that Neutral chakra is naturally explosive... Yeah so I took that and tried to make a rubber ball explode with it. Of course, it is easy if you pour too much chakra into it but it is a waste of chakra. This helps in actually increasing the volume of chakra you release at once.

Shinobi release different volume of chakra but greater the volume of chakra released the better is the effect of a Jutsu as lower volume of chakra being released makes the chakra easier to dissipate even if the amount released is tremendous. This unnecessary dissipation can be avoided by mastering the previous exercise."

"Wait that matters? So that's why Uzumaki find it easier to perform chakra intensive Jutsu. It's not just about the reserves."

Why does she keep interrupting me? Whatever, I will just continue.

"Now after doing both of these things, I kinda wanted to try them both as once and the result was a new type of Jutsu that was extremely destructive and unstable. I kinda wanted to make a containment layer at the end of the Jutsu. That way it would be stable and more focused. The problem with it is the immense chakra it needs. I have the reserves of an average Special Jonin I think but it still left me with less than half of my chakra..."

I finish my spiel and look up to Granny Mito to find her mouth slightly ajar. Did I mess this up? Hope I haven't booked myself a ticket to T I department.

"That's... incredible. How in the name of Kami sama did you manage that? That is...almost the pinnacle of what shape manipulation can be. Kid, if you would teach Kushina this Jutsu, I will be eternally grateful to you."

Fuck! She is bowing to me. Kushina is an Uzumaki and she frankly has monstrous reserves due to being a direct lineage Uzumaki. I do consider her a very close friend by now but teaching someone else my life's work(till now) is...hard.

"Please don't bow down to me Granny. I...will teach her Rasengan but can you please...teach me the basics of sealing for that? I kinda want to specialise in seals and I can't exactly do that without knowing the basics..."

Her face basically lights up like a christmas tree on christmas and I don't know how that's even possible with her looking like a lady in her 70s. I will just put that in the 'anime weirdness' folder in my head.

"Considering the intellect you have shown so far, I expected you to ask something but asking for the one thing I really wanted to do for a long ass time is just cherry on the cake. So when do you want to learn about the wonders of seals from me?" She asks with a blinding smile on her face. Wait what? Okay, let's not look a gift horse in the mouth. That's actually incredible!

"Can we start now?" "Of course we can..."

The rest of the evening went past very quickly. Seals are wonderful and I look forward to learning more.


A/N: So Tell me what you all think about this chapter 'kay? Also I would like to say that Mito bowed her head and not kneeled as A class Jutsu that can be converted to S class ones are rarer than SS class ninjas(literally) so her bowing a little is quite natural. As for why she wouldn't just copy the Jutsu? That would be needlessly antagonise Minato and ruin Minato and Kushina's friendship. Him asking for training in seals is just wonderful for her as she is destined to die in max 2 years(actually less than that) so passing her legacy to a protege sounds fantastic to her especially one that is set to surpass her.

I started a new fic. Worry not, the update schedule won't change, I will just be writing that one in the background. Do check it out.

Anyways, if you see a bullshit plothole, tell me about it and I will patch it up. Enjoy the chapter.

Goodbye and Stay tuned for the next chapter
