'The next day came sooner than I thought it would, as sarutobi-sensei woke me up'
"Ryuu, wake up, It's time to train, go quickly, have your breakfast, then meet me in the training ground as soon as you're done." He left.
Yawn.
Ryuu woke up and stretched, as usual.
He went to wash his face first.
"Looks like I forgot to mop the floor yesterday, that's not a problem, I can do it right now."
As Ryuu finished washing his face, he grabbed a mop.
'Huh? I don't have my sandals and I can't see them nearby.'
Ryuu searched for his sandals.
He couldn't find his sandals.
"That's alright, I'll just mop without them." Ryuu took a step into the warm water and froze. He shivered, as he had a strange feeling.
"I-I-I can't move. The floor is wet it's kinda warm."
He looked down at his feet and there it was again.
"The blood it's everywhere." Ryuu was trembling, and he kept on looking around for a way to stop this feeling.
"I can't breathe, I can't breathe the air is too thick."
'I started shivering as cold sweat dripped from my head. I tried to calm down and think of a solution.'
"Calm down Ryuu, calm down and remain calm."
He was stuttering and bit his tongue, then it halted.
Ryuu was panting and sweating a little.
'I took in deep breathe as much as I could to remain calm.'
After that, Ryuu left his room and went to eat breakfast quickly.
He left as soon as possible and ran towards the training ground; he found the Hokage training against his Shadow clones.
Why is he wearing that weird gear?'
"Fire style Fireball jutsu!"
A large fireball came from his mouth on its way to another clone. It didn't hit the clone because he used substitution and only a log was left; the clone came back behind the old man and threw 6 shurikens.
"Shuriken shadow clone jutsu!"
Suddenly the 6 shurikens turned into 12
The old man wasn't shocked and had a small smirk.
Ryuu's one tomoe Sharingan activated by itself as he watched the Hokage fight.
He did some hand signs and put his hands on the ground.
"Earth style: mud wall!"
The ground was shaking like there was going to be a huge earthquake, then suddenly the ground created an enormous wall and he wasn't finished.
He attacked the clone and then did some other hand signs.
"Wind Style: Violent Whirlwind!"
He inhaled a large amount of air and blew a lot of air toward the clone, it even collected some dust, and after he was done, the whole place was dusty.
Ryuu's Sharingan helped him see through the dust.
After the dust cleared, the old man came to Ryuu with a sly smirk, "What took you so long you almost missed the show."
Ryuu shyly scratched his head.
'I remembered what happened in the bathroom and I was silent for a while. I couldn't tell him what was going on because I thought he wouldn't train me.'
"Sorry Sarutobi-sensei, I had forgotten to mop the floor yesterday, so I just did it today."
He could see that something was not right and that he was hiding something, but he didn't force him to say anything.
They just moved on.
"Very well then, we will continue training as planned, at least you're here.
I can tell you're lying to me, but you can talk to me about that later."
Ryuu nodded.
"Now, before we begin, tell me all you know about ninjutsu chakra and the shinobi."
"Let's see, I know the five elements: wind, Earth, Fire, lightning, and water.
Wind style is weak to fire style and fire style is weak to water style.
They all have a weakness in each other.
And about the shinobi history…"
Ryuu continued telling him what he knew about the shinobi history, he also speaks about the ranks.
After 30 minutes of talking, Ryuu was finished.
'By the time I finished, Sarutobi-sensei was shocked beyond anything, even by his face. I could tell I surprised him a lot.'
"Sarutobi-sensei?
Are you OK?"
The Hokage snapped out of it and blinked many times.
"Ryuu, honestly I'm well past surprised you know all this considering you're just a child no shinobi in history has been this intelligent at your age, not even Orochimaru shocked me like this when he was your age and he's one of the legendary sannins.
Well, your knowledge can put your years ahead of children your age."
Ryuu smiled.
'After some time of Sarutobi-sensei admiring my intellect, we moved on.'
"Well, we know how great your intelligence is but now let's test out your physical capabilities, but before we start I'd like to ask if you want us to Unlock your chakra this week or if we should wait and train so that it has an easier path?"
Ryuu tilted his head.
"Unlocking chakra? Doesn't everything have chakra? And don't I? It's the reason I can use my Sharingan, right?"
The Hokage laughed.
"Unlocking chakra is just a metaphor used to describe a technique which they teach you in the academy.
Using another source of chakra to free another person because if you don't do it, using ninjutsu will be difficult and almost impossible depending on how much chakra you have."
Ryuu nodded.
"Sarutobi-sensei, can we wait a year longer so that I can focus first on my taijutsu and increase my chakra?"
He nodded in agreement.
"Are you sure? Not everyone awakens their chakra this early, most children have to wait until they begin their academy lessons."
Ryuu nodded.
The Hokage moved on.
"Taijutsu requires a lot of physical and mental strength and endurance."
He began telling Ryuu about different taijutsu stances and moves.
'He told me how to increase my taijutsu skills. He then wrote on a paper what I would do while he went to finish up his work. It's not like the Hokage can take a day off just to train a kid.'
After nearly the whole day working on his fitness and body strength, it started becoming dark, and he went back.
'I could barely move my legs to walk and I fell just as I was about to reach my door.
The next day reached, and I was woken up by Sarutobi-sensei again.'
"I can't move Sarutobi-sensei. I'm too tired, I feel dead."
"Ahahahah!"
He laughed at Ryuu, so many tears were coming from his eyes.
"Ryuu, you did well yesterday believe it or not but even some Chunins would be too tired to even lift their eyelids after yesterday's training, I'm happy to hear you talk it's almost like you have an unlimited amount of energy you have that in common with your mother but somehow you have more energy than her."
Ryuu shyly smiled.
"Anyway, come to the training ground, let's get you stronger, I'm sure by the time sakumo comes back you'll be able to impress him with your strength."
Ryuu nodded and quickly jumped up, then followed the Hokage.
