( Author's Note : Hello guys I hope all of you are doing well . So before going any further with the story I just wanted to clarify that this story will not only focus on the main cannon events , power level ups and fights but it will also reflect and give importance upon character development of the different figures especially the Yamamoto Takeru the main character of this fanfiction . He will go through a lot of emotions good and bad will find new hope and people to love and break free of the bindings of his previous life experiences . So there will be a lot of non cannon things in the story but I ask you to be patient as I assure you that once you keep reading it , you will start to understand more and more . And then you can decide whether you like it or not .
So that's all I had to say today . Hence without any further adu let's start with our magical journey . )
Thank you all for reading .
Chapter : 2 : Training Rutine And Meeting With Some Important Characters :
Location : A Forest In Konohagakure :
Inside Konoha there are many small and large forests situated in different parts of the village . Even after the industrialisation of the village the top administration has made it compulsory to protect the wildlife in their home and propagated the growth of natural vegetations .
Most of these forests are usually monitored by the village and are used as training grounds and for other purposes . But there are few places where monetering is not as strict .
Yamamoto Takeru our dear main character of this story was currently rooming in a such a less monitored forest .
Normally getting out of the orphanage for so long without being monitored is impossible for an orphan like him but Takeru was different .
Since even before his takeover of the body the original owner had a good reputation among the orphanage workers and often displayed a mature personality despite his young age so the orphanage workers of the orphanage allowed him to go out on his own , given that he will not go too far and will come back in a set amount of time .
So after getting his new character templates Takeru had been constantly coming to this place for the last two weeks to practice and improve his skills .
At first he faced many difficulties , for example all though he had unlocked his Chakra naturally due to him having unlocked Senju Hashirama template but right now he only has the Sanju physic and some of their enormous chakra reserve . And according to the system for him to gain access to Senju Hashirama's techniques and battle experiences he needs to master the character template to at least 30%.
Although 30% doesn't seem much at first glance but when you compare this 30% mastery with a character of Senju Hashirama then this becomes an entirely different story . If it were an ordinary chunin or Jonin level template it might not have been that difficult to reach the mastery of 30 % in a few months but Senju Hashirama was certainly not a ordinary shinobi .
Not only that since he had no knowledge basic of fighting , body training or shinobi art reaching 30% mastery in a few months is an unrealistic dream .
So , right now instead of focusing on the Senju Hashirama template entirely Yamamoto Takeru has decided to divide most of his attention towards the other character template in his hands .
The Miyamoto Musashi character template from Baki series .
His reasoning was simple and sound . At first he needed to build his own strength base for future endeavours so he decided to use the Miyamoto Musashi template to train his body and bring it to the level were he can easily access and progress with Senju Hashirama template in the future .
The other reason for him choosing the Miyamoto Musashi templete is that unlike the Sanju Hashirama template Miyamoto's template is far easier to learn and train . No doubt that Miyamoto Musashi is a legendary character and his swordsmanship along with chakra is a formidable and deadly communication for any opponent . But even so when compared to Senju Hashirama the god of shinobi this power pales in comparison . So naturally it is easier to learn the basic of body training , hand to hand combat and swordsmanship from this character template and once his fighting power and body has reached a certain point he can start training with the Senju Hashirama template with much ease .
But it doesn't mean that he has totally given up on the Sanju Hashirama template . No ! so what if he can't perform big jutsu's from the right start , he has decided to take advantage of his Senju chakra reserves and Sanju body to start his chakra control training .
So after entering the forest and finishing his 2 hours of daily body training , meditation and leaf sticking exercises our dear main protagonist brought out a rusty wooden practice sword from his inventory .
This is another problem that he had during first days of training .
Since Miyamoto Musashi was a swordsmanship practicing with a real sword will make his progress faster but he was a four year old boy , so getting a real sword or even a practice sword was impossible for him .
So he had to find an alternative for it. Fortunately while going through a back alley he found a wooden practice sword laying in a garbage tank . He quickly picked it up washed it and made some adjustments to it so that it can be used in a practice . Although not a real sharp blade this wooden one is more than enough for him to train his character template for now .
So his daily routine was first wake up in the morning help the orphanage in various task then go out by 9:00 a.m. then spend one hour in physical training one hour in meditation and chakra control and one one hour in sword practice .
Also between the three hours of hard training he also takes half an hour rest because proper rest is very important so that he doesn't put too much pressure on his small body as even with his Senju body he was still a 4 year old child .
Afterwards he must return to the orphanage by 1:00 p.m. then after eating he goes to study just like other orphans in orphanage where they were taught basic reading and writing skills by the orphanage workers . Then in the night he secretly moves around his chakra through out his body while continuing his chakra control exercises before going to sleep .
This was his daily routine and today to was no different.
" Ting ! ting! ting ! ting ! "
With each strike that he did with his wooden practice sword against the tree he felt improvement in his body and in his swordsmanship .
" Phew ! I guess that's enough for today . "
After removing up all the sweat from his body with a towel he decided to end his training session for today and go back to the orphanage early .
But before that he had one last thing to do .
" System open my status page . "
"
Ding ! Status Page :
Name : Yamamoto Takeru .
Age : 4 years old .
Race : Human .
Gender : Male .
Status : Orphan boy from Konohagakure no Sato .
Chakra : Unlocked .
Character Templates :
( 1 ) Senju Hashirama template ( mastery 4 percent ) .
( 2 ) Miyamoto Musashi template ( mastery 10 percent ) .
Skills and Techniques :
( 1 ) Imitation cut ( mastery 5 percent ) .
( 2 ) Kawarimi no jutsu / Body Replacement technique mastery ( 50 percent ) .
( 3 ) Basic throwing technique ( mastery 50 percent ) .
" "
' Imitation cut ' is a scale special skill that Miyamoto Musashi had . This technique allowed him to cut through his opponent without actually cutting him physically . Miyamoto Musashi can make his opponent feel that he is been openly cut through even making him feel the pain of it without actually physically doing it . This is a technique that only Miyamoto Musashi could do in the entire Baki series and after completing 10% of the character template Yamamoto got this . But right now the scale of this technique is only at 5% so he won't be able to anything like invisible cuts but with this skill he can create a short zone of pressure that can release a aura of supression to intimidate other people by making them feel the notion of threat .
After seeing his progress report Yamamoto Takeru felt quite satisfied . Although his character template mastery has not progressed much but what can he expect from two months of training .
But still he was able to master the body replacement technique and basic throwing techniques ( this includes all kinds of basic throwing techniques like Kunai throwing and senbon throwing ) to a good level .
It is not only because of his character templates but also because he even without the character templates had a comfortable enough talent in shinobi arts .
By the time he was on his way for the orphanage it was already 11:45 p.m. earlier than usual. It was then when he suddenly noticed a famous and iconic structure from Naruto series .
It was a ramen shop and there is only one ramen shop which can attract a fans attention in Naruto verse .
Yes ! you have guessed it right it was non other then the our dear Ichiraku ramen establishment .
Yamamoto Takeru after seeing the Ichiraku ramen shop suddenly had an Idea, so quickly went through his little wallet and found that he had 2,000 ryo in his hand .
At this moment you may ask the obvious question as to how did a orphan get so much money in his hand ?
The simple to this question is that he ' saved ' . The orphanage from time to time gives a little bit of money to the orphans which they use to buy candy and other stuff . But Yamamoto Takeru had decided to save this money so that he can use it later . Other than that he always help the people nearby who sometimes gives him some gifts and money as a reward .
' So assuming that a normal ramen with eggs costs around 500 ryo it should be okay if I eat it . ' - Takeru thought to himself .
So without any further thought he went straight for the shop attracted by the beautiful and delightful smell comming from the Ichiraku ramen shop . But just as he was about to enter the shop he heard some fimiliar voices from inside .
" Yeah ! That was great . "
" Yeah I know right ! "
" Oh ! By the way Ino where is Hinata . "
Yamanaka Ino : " She is at home taking care of Himawari . "
TenTen : " Oh ! That's bad she couldn't come with us on this friend's gathering . "
Uchiha ( nee Haruno ) Sakura : " Yeah considering how busy Naruto always is with his work it must be difficult for Hinata to look over to children's . "
Tenten : " Well I guess today it's only us. But whatever we will invite her next time for now I think we should begin eating . "
Nara Temari: " Agreed . "
Yamanaka Ino and Uchiha Sakura : " agreed . "
As the conversation between the three female customers continued , Yamamoto Takeru who was standing outside the shop felt a thud feeling in his heart . Because after hearing the voices and the names of these people ( obviously he had not met them in person before but their voices were the same as the one he heard from the show ) it was of no doubt that these people wear the four characters from Naruto series Yamanaka Ino , Tenten , Nara Temari and Uchiha ( nee Haruno ) Sakura .
Although they were not Naruto or Sasuke these people were important characters from the show he loved so he obviously felt a different kind of excitement in his heart .
So it took him some deep breaths to control his emotions and steady his mental state when suddenly he heard a very fimiliar sound in his mind .

" "
After seeing the notification Yamamoto Takeru face changed a bit . Since the first day of it's opening the system has not given him any Quest until now and this was the first Quest he has gotten .
" Good graces ! it's seems that the system wants me to get into the spotlight as soon as possible . Sigh ! I wanted to practice my skills for next 2 years quickly and quietly without attracting much attention but it seems that the system has other plans for me . But whatever , this isn't all that bad either at least the quest is easy enough and the rewards are also good , so I think their is nothing wrong with it. " - Takeru sighed inwardly as he prepared himself for the upcoming act .
Then suddenly an idea clicked to him .
' Oh ! Yes I can use that technique can't I . Hehe this is going to be interesting . '
Location change : Inside Ichiraku ramen shop :
Yamanaka Ino : " Well Sakura did you hear any news from Sasuke recently . "
Nara Temari : " Yeah he has been outside the village for quite some time now hasn't he . "
Uchiha Sakura : " Sigh ! You know how he is . He has been outside the village for so long that I have to console Sarada from time to time that he will soon come back . But yes I did get a latter 6 months ago saying that he is okay . "
Tenten : " Wow ! that's tough for you Sakura . "
Uchiha Sakura : " I guess you are right, Haa Haa ( awkward laughing ) ."
But just as they were continuing their peaceful conversation a sudden and strange pressure fell on them making them stiff immediately .
Although they have left the field work for some time they all were powerful shinobis each holding the rank of Jonin while their real power surpasses the rank by a lot .
Hence they quickly reacted and took defensive positions holding out a kunai in each hand looking at the door with fixed gazes ready for any confrontation .
But what happened next cought everyone off guard .
Instead of an enemy coming in the person who came in was a young boy looking no older than 4 years old .
He looked a little ragged probably from training . His hands and feets were covered in some bandages and thick clothes .
The boy glanced at them for some time before we drawing his gaze and went towards the counter .
And as soon as a the boy stoped looking the sudden oppressive pressure disappeared as if it never existed .
" Two bowls of ramen with egg please . " - after getting up to the counter the boy gave his order in a soft childish voice which to the girls surprise contained a hidden edge to it .
His sudden calling brought them broke the silence that fell in the room .
" Ofcourse dear customer please wait a minute I will have your order as soon as possible . " - but soon Ayame who was serving the customers quickly regained her composure and nodded her head politely and went back inside to prepare his order .
After Ayame left the scene fell silent .
Seeing the sudden turn of events the four female gave each other a secret nod , coming to an tact understanding of what to do and then simply went to their seats and started eating like nothing happened , afterall they are veterans who have lived through wars so this kind of situation although shocking and unexpected was nothing too seriously threatening to them .
Yamanaka Ino : ' Guys I have connected us through our minds so we can freely talk now . '
Nara Temari : ' What's up with this kid . I am sure he is not disguising himself through any jutsu but this aura is so off . '
Uchiha Sakura : ' Yeah ! this kind of oppressive aura belongs to people with multiple battle experiences . Although it is not very strong it's very potent and more importantly why does a kid of such a young age possess it . '
Yamanaka Ino : ' And the way he looked at us , does he know us or something . And why does it feel that the target of that intent were us . '
Nara Temari : ' No I don't think so . By looking at his figure he was clearly training before coming here so I think that the aim of that intent was not us in perticular but entirely accidental . '
As soon as Yamanaka Ino opened the mind link between the group all of them started having a conversation with each other , speculating about the strangness of the event .
This is truely strange to them because not only was the kid in front of them different from the others of his age but the fact that he had posses such power at his age is enough to show them how much he had trained .
But the real problem in the situation is that unlike their era where children's were trained to be soldiers of War , this peaceful Era has no such things . Hence seeing a kid with such a powerful aura that can only be earned through life and death battles and hard training they couldn't help but be stunned .
Tenten : ' Guys I think you all are missing the point . I think we should should be more worried if the kid is facing any problems or not . '
Suddenly Tenten who had kept herself quite till now spoke up showing concern for the kid in front of him . For some reason when Tenten looked at the kid in front of him she felt very sad inside and wanted to comfort him .
Nara Temari : ' Yes you are right Tenten we almost forgot what was most important right now . '
Tenten : ' I think we should start a conversation with him and see if their is something he need help with. What do you guys say about it Ino , Sakura , Tamari . '
Yamanaka Ino , Uchiha Sakura and Nara Temari : ' Agreed *3 !!! . '
With Tenten's lead everyone agreed in their mind as Yamanaka Ino stopped the mind link .
Just as the four friends where having their conversation Ayame brought Takeru's order .
" Here is your order two bowls of ramens with eggs and the second bowl is on the house . So that would be 400 ryo . " - Ayame said .
" Thank you miss . " - Yamamoto Takeru replied in his sweet childish voice his fierce edge now gone showing geniune happiness .
" No problem sweet heart . Oh ! by the way I have not seen you here before are you new to our shop . " - Ayame asked gently .
" Yes this is my first time coming here . " - Takeru replied .
" Well then do tell me how you liked our food . " - Ayame said .
" I definitely will . " - with that Takeru went say next to the seat where Tenten was sitting .
" Thank you for the food . " - just as Takeru took the first bite of his meal his eyes unconsciously bimed up in excitement of the delicious taste .
' Goodness the show didn't exaggerate it at all , it's truly delicious . ' - He thought to himself .
After testing the ramen Takeru finally understood why everyone in the series especially the main character Naruto loved it so much . Although another big reason for Naruto loving this Raman to the point of obsession is because the shop owners were the one of the very few who showed him kindness in his moment of darkness but even so it doesn't do true justice to just say it's delicious .
The taste is so good that he even forgot his surrounding completely ignoring the important characters beside him for a moment totally forgetting about the quest entirely .
" So do you like the ramen kid . "
