Hidden Senju compounds
Age: 5
It was early morning, and Tsunade was sleeping peacefully as she felt a light tap on her shoulder. She opened her eyes and saw her little sunshine wide awake and gazing at her curiously. He instantly buried his face in her neck and hugged her till she rose giggling profusely.
"So Naru-chan is excited about his training now, isn't he?" she asked softly, and he nodded in her neck, making her smile. She sat up and put him on her lap as she brushed his hair softly, and he played with her blonde locks.
"So Kaa-chan, what will you teach me today?" he asked, and she smiled as she kept brushing his hair softly.
"Well, we are going to try and unlock your chakra Naru-chan," she said, and he nodded beaming happily.
"That's the thing that you use to do awesome jutsu with, isn't it Kaa-chan?" he asked, and she giggled and nodded at the cheerful boy.
"Hai, but today I'll tell you what chakra is and how to unlock and use it a bit." She said, and he nodded as she picked him up and went towards the kitchen, and all of them had breakfast, and Tsunade took him to the clan grounds under a tree and made him sit down cross-legged and sat beside him. Shizune sat a bit faraway watching Naruto take his first steps into the skill set of the shinobi arts.
"Alright, Naru-chan, now I'll explain to you the detailed theory of chakra, listen to everything carefully and ask me to explain whatever you don't understand, alright," she stated. He nodded, giving her his full attention.
"My grandfather and granduncle personally explained and taught me what chakra is, using both of their views of the concept in tandem to merge the spiritual aspects with the practical aspect of it. To summarize it, chakra is the energy used by shinobi to enhance their skills. It consists of two halves." She said, opening two fingers, and he nodded. "The first is the spiritual energy that consists of our Yin chakra, which means the power of the mind and of one's essence. It is developed through amassing knowledge over the years and can be increased through studying, concentrating, and meditating over the years and builds up with experience." She said and paused to see if he understood everything and got a nod in return and continued closing her second finger. "The second is physical energy or the Yang chakra, which means the power of one's body and of the physical essence. It is developed through intense training of the body and can be increased with the increase in one's stamina and other physical traits." She said, letting him take it all in and waited for a question but got just a nod making her smile.
"When these two energies are molded together, the chakra is formed, and to strengthen it, one must train both their body and minds. Chakra is present in everybody but is active in those who make the connection between mind and body. Both Hashirama and Tobirama, to a lesser extent, felt that chakra is more than an individual's energy, but rather an energy that connects and unites us all, and that people began to seal the energy off to themselves by separating the energies of mind and body." She said, and he nodded, taking everything in. She told him to reiterate everything, and he worded everything words for word, surprising her, and then she got to the part of unlocking his chakra.
"Alright, now we will try and unlock your chakra Naru-chan." She said, and he grinned foxily in excitement, making her smile.
"Alright, now relax your body and close your eyes. Keep your focus on yourself and nothing else and try and find a warm pull near your stomach, remember everyone's chakra system is different, but the one thing they all have in common is the location of their pool of chakra." She explained, and he nodded doing as she said and sat like that for half an hour meditating but didn't find it. Opening his eyes, he sighed in defeat, as he had hoped to unlock it on his first try to impress his mother.
"It's alright Naru-chan rarely anyone gets their chakra unlocked on their first try, try to visualize the energy as a stream or body of water you can touch, alright." She said, and he nodded, and she sat back as Shizune sat beside her. She knew it would take him some time, maybe a week or so before he unlocked it.
"So Tsunade-sama, how is he doing?" asked Shizune, and she smiled.
"He is doing great. He understood the more complex theory of chakra word for word after I explained it only once. He'll unlock it soon enough, the boy's smart just like his mother." She said proudly, and Shizune smiled and nodded as they sat for an hour and were surprised to see a little boy stay so focused for such a long time.
Naruto's breathing became light as his mind went blank, and he started to eliminate all distractions around him, leaving him in a void with nothing but himself. Next, he took his mother's advice and began attempting to visualize water sources, first a drop of water, then a glass worth, then a bucket. However, this wasn't enough if he had to imagine a single amount of chakra for him to use. He'd never be able to do anything fast enough. He thought for a bit, well maybe if I had enough water I wouldn't need to make more, how about an ocean? He thought as all around him, he began to feel a surge of energy, and rush of the ocean hit him. 'Too much, too much!' He thought as he quickly stopped thinking in terms of the sea. 'I need to control the water, I can't keep going back to the source to ask for it, and I can't bring the source with me, then what should I do?' He contemplated this for what seemed like an hour, then it hit him, not unlike the ocean a while ago, 'How did we solve this problem in the real world, plumbing. If I can find a tap or faucet, I can control the amount of chakra I pull and still have the control to limit myself.' He concluded and imagined a large basin, like the one his mom uses in poison and medicine mixing and above it a large pipe that seemed to narrow down to a reasonable size, and a lever to release the flow. Using his base intuition, he pulled the lever and saw a smooth stream appear and fill the basin slowly, while the basin seemed to contain a natural drain that leads to smaller pipes. As the basin began to level out, the void started to fade, and Naruto found himself in a room he had visited before in a dream.
(At the same time)
Tsunade and Shizune were smiling and making small talk while sensing short chakra bursts too minuscule to be sustainable. Each burst growing in size, showing the blonde's progress in unlocking his chakra, as suddenly a burst of visibly purple chakra came rolling off of Naruto's body, making their hair stand on their necks. The ground around Naruto cracked, and the chakra swirled wildly around him as both women's eyes widened at the density and amount of chakra the boy held and how it flowed just wild and completely untamed. Naruto kept it up for a second at most, it was only after the chakra dissipated did he open his eyes.
Having felt so powerful during the last few moments, he knew he had done it. He could feel the presence of his mother and sister and pinpoint where they were exactly. He had guessed it came with the usage of chakra and thought it was cool. He grinned at the stunned expressions of his mother and sister and tried to stand up and walk to his mother.
He stood up with shaky legs and took a couple of steps as his legs wobbled and his vision blurred a bit as he started falling face-first only for Tsunade to catch him in her arms before he could impact and picked him up as he wrapped his arms around her neck and chuckled tiredly.
"I did it, Kaa-chan." He whispered in a tired voice, and she smiled and brushed his hair softly.
"Yes, you did my little angel, I'm proud of you," she whispered, rubbing his back gently as he rested in her arms.
"I feel so sleepy, Kaa-chan." He said softly, and she hugged him closer and kissed his head softly.
"You did great Naru-chan, I'm so proud of you. Now sleep, even you must be tired with all the chakra you pushed out. You'll be better after a nap and some food, alright." She said softly, and he nodded and closed his eyes as his breathing became soft, and he gave into exhaustion. Tsunade rubbed his back gently, and his sleep deepened as he breathed on her neck softly, making her sure he was in a deep sleep. She went to the living room and laid him down on the couch with his head on her lap, and Shizune put a blanket over him. She kept running her fingers through his hair, and he snuggled into her stomach, making her giggle as she rubbed his whiskers, making him purr and smile. She was broken out of her musings as Shizune spoke up.
"He unlocked it on his first day Tsunade-sama." She said in a calm voice, and Tsunade smiled and nodded, smiling at the sleeping face of her son.
"Yes, he did; he is showing signs of his skill already. It took me a week before I unlocked it." She said, and Shizune nodded. It took her ten days herself, but to do it on his first was something else.
"And you felt the density of his chakra, right? I haven't felt such a potent chakra ever before. He cracked the ground, and the color of his chakra was purple instead of the usual light blue that can be seen when a lot of chakra is openly condensed, like when you supercharge your fists." She said, and Tsunade nodded, remembering the power that he unleashed, almost taking her breath away.
"I haven't felt such a potent chakra in years." She said as her mind went back some years, and Shizune looked at her curiously, waiting for her to explain further. "The last time I felt such a potent chakra was when I used to train with my grandfather and granduncle. They both had the most potent chakra I've ever felt, but today, Naru-chan's was almost as dense as my grandfather's, and he hasn't even had any training to control it yet." She said fondly, and Shizune's eyes widened as she understood what she meant.
"You don't mean…" she said in disbelief, and Tsunade nodded.
"He has strong Senju genes in him. My clan was known for its potent chakra that gave us one skill that was far stronger than all of the other skills we trained in and when mastered the proficient skill became unstoppable when coupled with the various other skills we trained in, which was why we are known as the clan of a thousand skills. I don't know what he has awakened in him, but he will be something else. My chakra was potent enough in the use of medical chakra that gave me advanced healing skills. Maybe I can pass on all of my knowledge to him. He really is my son." She said fondly, and Shizune sat there stunned.
"But how is that possible? Tsunade-sama, he is an Uzumaki…" she said, and Tsunade cut her off.
"Yes, and Uzumaki's are a cousin clan of Senju that had their skills occur mainly in fuinjutsu and kenjutsu; this separation led to some of them using their dense chakra to form constructs made of chakra that was based in sealing. Maybe Naru-chan's activated the dormant potency with my feeding him all these years. That's the only possible explanation." She said, and Shizune nodded, not finding words, and the points she made were the only possible explanation in her opinion.
"So, what do you think he will awaken then." Asked Shizune and Tsunade smiled as she cradled her son in her lap.
"I don't know, but whatever he will, it will be strong seeing the density of chakra he has." She said, and Shizune nodded, smiling as she saw the love in Tsunade's eyes as she cradled Naruto and left to prepare some lunch.
Naruto woke up three hours later and snuggled into the stomach of Tsunade and gave a slight yawn making her giggle. He gazed up as Tsunade placed a kiss on his forehead, making him smile as he rubbed his eyes and still felt tired.
"Kaa-chan, why do I feel so tired?" he asked, and she smiled at his innocent question.
"Well, Naru-chan, that was the first time you unleashed your chakra, and being the reckless little angel you are, you went overboard and pushed out a lot of it." She said softly, and he grinned foxily, making her smile at the boy.
"So how did it feel to use your chakra for the first time?" she asked, and he smiled as he laid on her lap, and she brushed her fingers through his hair.
"At first it was difficult, I was in a void, and began to imagine my chakra as you told me to, and I thought well if a bucket isn't a big enough source of water, I should go for broke and thought of an ocean. That was a mistake as it hit me all at once. I had no way to control it, so I scrapped it and thought of it terms of the real world, how did we solve this water problem and I came up with pipes like we have in the house and a faucet for me to control the flow of the chakra into a basin for me to use as I need to. And when I opened my eyes, I felt amazing Kaa-chan, I felt so powerful, like I could do anything, I could even sense where you and Nee-chan were, even with my eyes closed tightly." He said, and Tsunade's eyes widened.
"What did you say, Naru-chan, you could sense where Shizune and I were? Can you tell me what you felt?" she asked curiously, and he thought for a moment and nodded.
"Hai, I could sense where you and Nee-chan were, and when I opened my eyes, you were there. It was almost like some small beacons with different lights. Yours was brighter and bigger than Nee-chan's, and both had different colors, but I could only sense it when I had my chakra fully open, I cant' right now." He said, and Tsunade smiled ear to ear and hugged him tightly.
"Oh my little Naru-chan is a sensor!" she squealed, hugging him tightly, and he snuggled into her embrace and kissed her neck softly.
"Kaa-chan, what's a sensor?" he asked innocently after a moment, and she smiled.
"A sensor is an ability that few people possess by birth. It is a handy ability since a sensor could sense the presence of other shinobi even if they are hiding. Experienced and high-level ninja create their own sensory techniques through various means, but they still aren't anywhere near as powerful as a natural sensory ability." She explained, and he nodded.
"Wow, is it really that great?" he asked, and she nodded with a smile.
"Sensors are rare and very useful in the shinobi world and are really difficult to get an unexpected ambush since the sensor will already sense their presence when they are only trying to get close. It is a rare and powerful ability, and we'll develop it and train you in it properly, alright?" she asked, and he nodded happily with a smile at having such a cool ability.
She picked up the miso soup and rice on the tray that was beside her and put it on her side as Naruto tried holding the chopsticks, but his hands were shaking heavily, and he dropped them. Tsunade smiled and grabbed his hands and stopped him from trying it as he looked at her, confused.
"I'll feed you Naru-chan, your body is still adjusting to the newly unlocked chakra. So you try and do as little as possible until tomorrow, alright?" she asked, and he nodded as she fed her little boy, and as he finished, he yawned cutely. Tsunade picked him up and walked into her room as she tucked him in and kissed his forehead and moved out as she started studying the scroll for Minato's taijutsu style. She had been studying it for a year now to help Naruto learn that style. She had to admit it was a fearsome style when mastered. She had studied it in detail to help him work out whatever she could help him in and knew that she had to lay a good foundation for her boy to build on. Shizune saw her studying and smiled as she saw the determination on her face to teach Naruto. Ever since Naruto had come into her life, she hadn't even thought about gambling and drinking, and it made her feel pride for her master.
"So Tsunade-sama, what are you going to teach him tomorrow?" she asked, and Tsunade smiled as she put the scroll down.
"Well, I'll be starting him up in Minato's taijutsu style and let him get used to it. Then I guess some simple chakra control exercises and his usual calligraphy lessons, along with the start of the basics of fuinjutsu, should suffice for now. This won't put too much pressure on him and will help him grow as well. So I guess from morning till noon we'll go through taijutsu, then a couple of hours for chakra control and the basics of chakra theory and after lunch a couple of hours for fuinjutsu. That was the basic schedule I have in my mind, and then from evening till dinner time, he could play and relax a little." She said, and Shizune nodded. That was a pretty nice schedule in her opinion and would help him grow immensely with one on one training with a Sannin she mused.
They sat making small talk before Tsunade decided to call it a night and went to bed with her little blonde sunshine as he cuddled up against his mother.
Next Morning
Tsunade woke up to the rays of the sunshine falling on her face as she gazed at the little boy cuddled up beside her and smiled. She brought him close to her, and he snuggled up against her as she laid a kiss on his head, and he snuggled in further, making her giggle. She started laying kisses all over him, and he giggled and tried to get her off.
"Kaa-chan stop it; you're tickling me." He said in between chuckles, and she smiled as he yawned and hugged her close and closed his eyes.
"Come on time to get up, Naru-chan." She said softly, brushing his hair, and he whined and kept a hold on her.
"Mhmm, five more minutes." He said with a yawn, and she giggled and held him close to her, letting him have his rest. He woke up after ten minutes and was gazing at her with curious eyes as she smiled at the boy.
"So what are we going to do today, Kaa-chan?" he asked, and she smiled, already expecting the question.
"Today, we are going to start you on some new things, but I'll tell you once we start it." She said, and he pouted. He gazed at her with innocent wide eyes and looked at her pleadingly.
"Please, you love me, don't you Kaa-chan, you can tell me." He said, rubbing her cheek softly, making her resolve melt away, and she smiled and shook her head.
"You are getting too smart, mister, but this time you won't be getting me with that look now. Let's go." She said and picked him up on her shoulder with one arm as he flapped his leg and punched her back, trying to get off, and she laughed.
"Let me go Kaa-chan, I'll get back to you for this." He said, struggling half-heartedly, and she giggled.
"Oh, you're a hundred years too early to get me, mister." She said, giggling, and Shizune laughed as she saw the two coming into the dining room that way. All of them had breakfast and finished eating it in comfortable silence.
"Alright, Naru-chan, let's go outside and get you started with the first part of your schedule, alright." She said, and he nodded, pulling her with him happily running, making her giggle and follow the enthusiastic blonde outside. She led him to a small clearing and stood in front of him as he looked at her with those wide, curious eyes making her smile at the little blonde.
"Alright, Naru-chan today we'll forgo our jog, since it's too late, and start you with the first main branch of the shinobi arts – Taijutsu or hand to hand combat. Most people learn a single taijutsu style that contains both defensive and offensive katas, but we are going to go with a different approach in your case." She said, and he tilted his head to the side cutely.
"Why is that Kaa-chan?" he asked innocently, and she smiled.
"Well, you see Naru-chan, the taijutsu style your Kaa-chan uses is a defensive style with minimal offensive strikes, but I have customized it to my own needs with my own techniques. So to not make you too forced on those if you don't manage to make it and learn my techniques, we will start you with your father's style, that is completely offensive and then let you master my style and see if you can learn the technique your Kaa-chan uses to overcome its limitations." She said, and Naruto nodded happily, way too excited at the prospect of learning the two styles of his parents.
"Kaa-chan, you said that you use a technique to perfect your style. What is that technique?" he asked innocently, and she smiled at his attentiveness.
"That's very sharp of you, Naru-chan, but I will show you when I deem you are ready for it and maybe even teach it to you. You will be the first one ever to learn this technique other than me." She said, and he looked at her with glimmering eyes.
"Just you wait, Kaa-chan, you'll be teaching me that special technique in no time!" he said, and she giggled.
"I have no doubt Naru-chan about Naru-chan. She said with a genuine smile showing the faith she had in the boy, and he grinned foxily.
"Alright, Naru-chan, here is the scroll for the taijutsu style now; we will go through the first two katas for today; that should give you enough to cover the basics of the style for today. I'll help you fix your mistakes and make corrections to your stances, so now go on." She said, and he nodded, unrolling the scroll and tried to copy the katas in the scroll making many mistakes that Tsunade was continually pointing out and fixing for him.
At noon Naruto was huffing and puffing from the strain the katas were putting on him as he plopped down, and his muscles ached from the newfound exhaustion that they had. He had to admit his Tou-san must have been a speed freak to go through and master the katas of such a style. Tsunade smiled as she saw the plopped down blonde bundle in front of her. She walked up and sat beside him, putting his head on her lap as she rubbed his head, and his breathing calmed down.
"And here I thought you were going to master it all in one day." She said playfully, and he glared at her tiredly.
"Hey, it's not my fault that Tou-san was a speed freak! Just you see, I'll master it." He said heatedly, and she giggled and kissed his forehead gently, giving him a heart-warming smile.
"I have no doubt that you'll surpass me and your father one day. I believe in you completely." She said warmly, and his eyes widened as he looked at her with watering eyes.
"Really?" he whispered, and she nodded with a smile as he threw himself in her arms, making her giggle and cried.
"There there Naru-chan, strong boys, don't cry." She whispered, rubbing his back, and he sniffed as he kissed her neck softly.
"I love you, Kaa-chan." He said, making her heart warm and a broad smile spread on her face.
"I know my little sunshine, and I love you the most." She said softly, and he smiled.
"No, I love you the moistest." He said, and she giggled.
"The mostest Naru-chan?" she asked in a giggle. "Hai!" he said, making her chuckle.
"Alright, then I love you the mostest too. You're too cute, my little angel." She said with a giggle as he snuggled in her arms.
"I'm not cute, I'm dangerous." He said, puffing his cheeks, and she laughed as she got a mischievous tint in her eyes.
"Dangerous, huh?" she asked slyly, and he gulped as she took a position like a pouncing tiger and pounced on him. "Rwaaar!" she said as she started tickling him, and he laughed, trying to get her away but to no avail.
"Kaa-chan stop… it tickles alright I'm cute. Please stop…" he pleaded in giggles as she stopped and picked him up in her arms as he snuggled in her embrace. Shizune watched it all from afar and was smiling at the two playing blondes.
"Alright, Naru-chan, now we are going to learn how to control your chakra. You remember how you pulled it out yesterday, right?" she asked, and he nodded.
"Hai, but it makes me feel fuzzy." He said, and she giggled, making him pout.
"Naru-chan, you unlocked your chakra yesterday but don't know how to control it. You pulled almost all of it out yesterday at once and released it into the air, which made you feel fuzzy." She teased, and he puffed his cheeks.
"Hey, that's not funny!" he said, and she laughed as he huffed and sat down, turning his head the other way and crossed his arms. She got behind him and put him on her lap as she put her head on his shoulder and saw his eyes were closed and was angry.
"Alright, I'm sorry, Naru-chan, you can forgive your Kaa-chan, can't you?" she asked gently, and he snorted and looked away. She got an idea as she sniffed and put her face in her hands, faking crying. As soon as he heard it and saw her, his face saddened, and he hugged her.
"I'm sorry, don't cry." He whispered, kissing her cheek as his own eyes watered, and he sniffed, and she smiled and grinned mischievously, and his eyes widened at being outdone.
"See you are a hundred years too early to outdo me, mister." She said, and he huffed but didn't say anything instead, blushing in embarrassment, making her giggle.
"Alright, so let's move on. Now to learn how to control your chakra, the first chakra control exercise and the simplest of them all is the leaf balancing exercise. Like yesterday, pull your chakra, or in your case, open the flow of chakra and try and concentrate on putting it on to the leaf you will put on your forehead and try and stick it there with chakra." She said, handing him a leaf, and he nodded, putting it on his forehead and closed his eyes in concentration. He found the basin from the previous day. He did as she told him, opening the faucet from a drip to a steady stream into the basin and tried concentrating it to his forehead as the chakra flowed to a specific pipe going up and suddenly felt his forehead get wet. He opened his eyes and saw that the leaf was dripping damp and sticking to his forehead as he gazed above to see if it was raining, but the sky was pretty clear and was confused at the damp leaf in his hands.
"Umm Kaa-chan, I think it's going to rain. Let's go inside and practice." He said innocently not understanding what he had done just now and turned to Tsunade, whose eyes were as wide as saucers and had an expression of disbelief. He grew nervous and looked around, getting uncomfortable at her stare.
"Umm Kaa-chan, did I do something wrong?" he asked timidly. She broke out of her stupor as she saw Naruto getting nervous and fiddling with his shirt with his bottom lip trembling, thinking he had disappointed her by not meeting her expectations.
"I'm sorry I tried, but I think I messed it up." He said, disheartened to have messed up the most basic exercise and stood up to get a leaf, only to be scooped up by his mother. As soon as she saw his hurt and pained expression and his cute sniffs, her heart tore away at his innocent voice and eyes as she held him close to her softly rubbing his back.
"Naru-chan, you did really good. I was so surprised at how good you did that I was shocked and I'm so proud of you." She said softly.
"Really, I did good, you're not upset or disappointed?" he asked shyly with a sniff, and she cupped his face in her hands and kissed his tears away softly, giving him a gentle smile.
"My little Naru-chan can never disappoint because you never cease to amaze me." She said softly, and he smiled and snuggled in her arms, and she held her little boy in her arms happily. "Yes you did really good, now let's go and start your calligraphy practice, alright." She said, and he tilted his head to the side cutely.
"But what about chakra control Kaa-chan?" he asked, and she smiled, ruffling his hair, making him giggle.
"We'll get to that tomorrow, there is something I will have to change for it to be more effective for you and then we'll start. So go and get started with your calligraphy arts and I'll join you in a moment, alright?" she asked softly, and he smiled and nodded as he ran off. She walked into the house and took a glass of water and drank it halfway in a gulp, and sat down on the dining table, staring at the water intently. Shizune came in and saw her master sitting there, staring at the glass of water lost in thought and sat in front of her.
"Tsunade-sama, what's the matter?" she asked, and Tsunade looked up surprised that she had spaced out and smiled fondly.
"Looks like Naru-chan really is my son." She said in a far off voice, making Shizune confused as Tonton too looked at her bewildered and 'oinked' in confusion.
"What do you mean, Tsunade-sama? Of course, I know he is your son?" she asked, and Tsunade shook her head with a face splitting smile, making her all the more curious.
"No, I mean, he is closely related to the Senju blood somehow and has awakened the dormant Senju special ability today that I told you about. I have figured out what he has awakened, and I couldn't be prouder." She said, and now Shizune was dying of curiosity and the suspense that had built up.
"What has he awakened? What is his dormant ability? Tell me Tsunade-sama?" she asked pleadingly, and Tsunade's smile didn't falter as she giggled at her tone, and the reaction she knew would come.
"Our little bundle of sunshine is more closely related to my grand uncle than we could ever imagine. He has inherited the special skill of one of the two most powerful Senjus in history." She said, and Shizune's eyes widened, and her jaw dropped to the ground.
"Y-You d-don't m-mean?" she stuttered, and Tsunade nodded with a grin.
"Hai, he has inherited Tobirama Senju's absolute control over the water element. The same thing that my grand uncle once told me had happened in his childhood to show his strong affinity to the water element happened today." She said, and Shizune's eyes were glued to her as she watched her with an amused smirk and how she hung onto her every word.
"The leaf exercise never worked for my grand uncle." She said, making her confused. "Why is that Tsunade-sama?" she asked, and Tsunade smiled as she remembered her grand uncle and the times she had spent with him.
"Because Shizune, his affinity to water was so high that as soon as he concentrated his potent chakra to the leaf, instead of floating on his forehead, it would become dripping wet. And the exact same thing happened today with Naru-chan." She said, and her eyes widened as she came to the realization.
"That's great, Tsunade-sama. He'll be mighty one day." She said happily, and Tsunade nodded but had a worried face making her confused as suddenly she stared at Shizune intently, making her nervous.
"Shizune, we will keep this to ourselves, don't even tell Jiraiya about this for the time being. I don't want him treating Naru-chan differently or forcing him to master his ability and pressuring him too much. The fewer people know, the better it is as it would create a huge target on him since many have tried to gain such mastery over their element but have failed since it can only be inherited genetically. My feeding my little boy and his distant relation to the Senju clan has made it good and given him an ace in the hole against any dangers." She said, and Shizune nodded, agreeing entirely with her.
"So how will this change his training Tsunade-sama?" she asked, and Tsunade thought for a few moments and answered.
"Well, not much for now, but we'll have to change the leaf exercise somehow to suit him better, and I'll start going through my grand uncle's scrolls that he left in the Senju archives for anyone in our clan who may have inherited this ability in the future. We will have to get his control up to par. He will have an easier time at elemental manipulation of water than anyone else. However, he still will need the control over his chakra to use it effectively, plus his affinity will aid him better in medical ninjutsu, and I'll get his chakra control on par with me one day." She said determined, and Shizune nodded happily, offering her help in any way she could. She really wanted to pass on her skills to her son. Shizune mused happily and wished that her little brother would learn all her skills and carry on her legacy with her.
Author's note: So Quarantine, am I right? But anyway, I'm back and ready to continue this fic. So quick response to a guest who made a comment, I am planning to change up the abilities and do want to deepen his abilities to his father, I was really unhappy when NXSE had given him the wood release and water control when earlier he had said he wouldn't do it, but due to creative decisions, he changed it but whatever to each their own. I do not plan on not giving him the toad contract, but I do have some plans to incorporate other summoning based on some form of "destiny" from the sage, but that is still in the works. I'm trying to Un-baby Naruto, but it will be a slow process as there is a lot of cutesy stuff on here, but if I do it all at once, he becomes an adult too soon, you get me? Also, I won't be writing the water scene each time he needs chakra but for his moments of great focus. Other than that I hope you all enjoyed it and like the changes, make sure to read the original if you want to see the changes be made, and feel free to let people know about the continuation of the story over here, as I do understand that the comments are asking for him to continue. Anyway, thanks for all of your support and I hope you make it through till this all blows over, bye for now!
