"What are we thinking about today dear?" The elderly asked sitting her bags down before she made her way over to where the small girl was sitting on the porch.
"Obaasan, you're back!" Akari exclaimed, quickly jumping up to hug the elderly woman who smiled affectionately at her.
"I was only gone for a day dear."
"But it was boring being all by myself. And besides I wanna protect you! That's why I've been training real hard. But you keep going all by yourself into town." Akari pouted.
The elder woman chuckled. "Alright Akari-chan, perhaps next time I'll take you with. How about you help me bring these bags inside and we'll get dinner started, alright?"
Akari pumped her fist excitedly. "Yeah! That way I can protect you from all the bad guys obaasan!"
The elder chuckled as Akari ran over and swooped up all the bags and then tried to open the door with her foot. She walked over and opened the door for the struggling child.
"You looked like you could use a hand dear."
"Arigato obaasan!" Akari said as she ran to the kitchen and started unpacking the bags.
"Training with improving your speed now Akari-chan?" The elder asked when she reached the kitchen to find half of the groceries already unpacked, and Akari jumping on the counter to reach the cupboard.
"Mm mm mm!" Akari mumbled through the can in her mouth.
"Can't quite understand you dear." The elder hummed as she began chopping vegetables.
"I said yep I'm getting pretty fast now!" Akari explained as she jumped down from the counter and pulled out a bowl for the elder to put the chopped vegetables in.
"Don't you think you're training a bit intensely Akari-chan? You're but 4 years old dear, surely you don't need to be training so intensely. Can you start peeling the potatoes awhile dear?"
"Hai obaasan, I can peel the potatoes for you!" Akari agreed as she began peeling the potatoes. "It's not too intense obaasan, Nao-sama says I have a lot of chakra for my age! She thinks that soon we'll start working on my chakra control and once I get that down we'll start some basic medical ninjutsu!"
"Medical ninjutsu already? Don't you think you're moving a bit quickly Akari-chan? You've only been training with Nao-chan for a few months."
"Nao-sama says she thinks my medical skills will surpass hers once I've trained in medical ninjutsu." Akari hummed.
"Really now?" The elder smiled.
"Yeah! She says I - " Akari threw the potato peeler and deflected the kunai that had been thrown at her.
"Good job Akari-chan!" Nao praised as she entered the room.
"Nao-sama no throwing kunai around obaasan!" Akari yelled at her grinning mentor.
"You've got to be prepared for anything Akari-chan." Nao responded, ruffling Akari's hair and making her glare.
"Nao-sama." Akari whined stepping away from the woman and going to retrieve the thrown potato peeler.
"Here Akari-chan I'll help Chiasa-san with dinner, you can go train some more alright? Hm how about… see how many laps you can run around the lake before supper is finished. Your goal is 30 laps." Nao said as she pulled the peeler from Akari's hand and began peeling potatoes.
"30 laps!?" Akari exclaimed. "But I'll never do that many before dinner is ready!"
"Well, if you doubt yourself and continue standing there then no. Of course you'll never get that many laps done before dinner." Nao laughed and Akari sighed before running outside to complete her laps.
"You believe she'll do it, don't you?" Chiasa asked once the younger child was out of earshot.
"Of course she will!" Nao answered confidently.
"Now, I'm perfectly aware of how well she's doing with training but do you think it's a good idea to move towards medical ninjutsu already Nao-chan?"
"I do." Nao spoke with certainty.
"She's only 4 years old." The elder reminded her.
"A 4 year old who would likely be able to keep up with a genin." Nao hummed as she carried the potatoes to the sink and began rinsing them before dropping them with the other vegetables waiting to be cut up.
The elder sighed. "Next you're going to be telling me I should let her go to the Academy."
"W-well…" Nao stuttered a bit nervous.
"You want me to let her enter the academy? You know that we can't just send her to the academy based on her skills, we keep her outside of the village for a reason Nao-chan."
"Right well about that… maybe it would be best to take her into the village and let her train with the other sharingan users." Nao said quietly.
"You think that's wise? People will question her background, and too many questions may draw unwanted attention." The elder said as she began dumping the chopped vegetables into the boiling water and stirring.
"I think that - "
"I did 31 laps Nao-sama!" Akari yelled breathlessly as she walked into the kitchen and reached for a cup of water.
Nao grinned and praised Akari while Chiasa continued stirring quietly. Would it be a good idea to take her to the village? Is that what Uchiha-chan would've wanted? Chiasa pondered quietly.
A/N - I'm glad you guys like this story so far. I have to say, I wasn't sure if I was going to bring it from Wattpad over to Fanfiction but it seems like I made a good choice, ne? Anyways, there will be quite a bit of Japanese words and possible even phrases in here. So I'm going to include a little guide at the end of all the chapters that will give you the English translation for the Japanese words/phrases. Do I need to cover the suffixes too?
Obaasan - grandmother
Arigato - Thank you (sometimes arigato will be shown with a horizontal line above the o.)
