Tobirama really was a troll.

I checked the history scrolls. The old stuffy boring smelling funny sort that no one cares about here because a. He wasn't considered a legend (dorks) and b. It only talked about him as a person nothing in his training or ninjutsu or anything. It was just stories sent about him from one of his friends to the mans kids. Some of the pranks he pulled are so lame. He is my new version of Murphy's law. Something went wrong? I blame Tobirama. It gets me through days when all I hear about is chakra.

I am seriously thinking chakra must be addictive because give people a taste and they go all crazy. Maybe the Nara are on to something with how they try not to use it or do so efficiently?

Granny still gives me looks all the time holding her fan now if I'm just standing around. She takes my training so seriously that I'm starting to wonder if Gai didn't have Lee pre molded for his insane workouts thanks to her. She has a habit of threatening us with more exercises if we slack off. Her favorite is if our form gets sloppy she makes us do punishment routines using other muscles and then back we go.

Kaa-san says in a few years she will tie bells to my shoes to make me walk softly.

I hate bells.

Tou-san is always working with us on our academy basics to prepare us. Pure taijutsu because apparently it's the one area kids mess up and fixing that later can be a disaster. Grandpa is also teaching us something like tai chi which is pretty fun. It is a way of focus, inward meditation and learning the precise areas of your body as you flow from motion to motion. Lee isn't very good at it so we usually do it as our cool down, once he has his nervous energy out. So if we start when the sun is up..usually after lunch.

I beg for it because it hurts a lot less than the agility training Kaa-san and granny put me through. No one is fooled, but they do laugh at me.

I never thought I would look forward to running laps because that at least made sense. And my constant piping up before we start of "Run Away!" In my weirdest sounding accent because British does not translate here..well everyone thought it's funny since the first time. No one gets the joke and that is fine.

Seriously I hate running but running is good. So good. Because yeah I have tiny chakra reserves and in the future there will be dudes slinging chakra around like be a at Mardi Gras, so I have two choices. Go crazy like Lee or go smart.

Smart Alec more like but meh.

Fortunately girls naturally have better chakra control and my heritage means I am learning a fighting system that will take advantage of this. Because twins are nuts and we are always challenging each other (so not my fault I swear it's in my blood!) it takes another crazy long double year before my grandfather decides to troll me during one of my bendy as body shouldn't chakra exercises with bells on. (My family is crazy)

I have been keeping a piece of paper with of all things..a plum blossom drawn on it on my face while focusing on a twist the underworld created. Chakra makes paper stick, it's what my muscles are doing too but I have to force them to go in ways they don't want to.

Grandpa teasing slaps another cut out flower on my cheek and says "keep it there Zi-chan!"

"Whatever Gramps." Puffing out my cheeks with a intake of air I just mentally tell it to stay put as I don't have time for this.

It does.

Grandpa then slaps another, I hear him cutting them out, and plop on my forehead.

"Really Grandpa?! I am not a plum tree! Trying to focus here!"

So now we know who I get my trolling from that wasn't my being a little turd from Before. As I try to focus on getting my ankle up higher than my calf while bracing my weight only hands and leaning forward in a really funky angle Grandpa keeps sticking cut out flowers all over me.

I bet I look like a hippie bush. That sounds bad. Only a touch of my attentions on him sticking them to me with what must be a paste as I try to get my brain past how much it freaking hurts to stretch like this. Still a year off the academy and I'm doing exercises like a circus nut. But I feel every time he slaps one on my form giggling and cackling like he got into the Lee clan sake stash early. I don't really pay it much attention aside from noting that I am going to be covered by the time this is done.

Finally my body quivers and the irritating jingalingaling doesn't stop so granny gives a sharp "and relax."

I so flop down.

"Owwwwwwwwwww..." Blinking my gray eyes a few times I look over to judge how I did that time as you know, little focused on the ouchy stretchy bendy.

Huh. Mom is grinning, granny looks like she ate a sour fruit so her happy face, and grandpa is still cackling off his rocker.

As I stand little plum blossom cut outs fall off me, making me look down bewildered.

"No glue?"

"It seems, Ziwei-chan that you possess unusually strong chakra control" my granny says and then she smiles.

Now you do not want granny to smile. She has a nice one but when she smiles bad things happen. Very bad things.

"We shall have to test your limits instead of proceeding slowly!"

Did I mention bad things?
