( Author's Note : Hello guys I hope you all are doing well . So before going into the story I would like to say something important and that is that the number of words in each chapter will not be constant but instead will vary between 2500 words and 3500 words .
So that's all I had to say for now . Hence without any further adu let's start with our magical journey .
Thankyou all for reading . )
Chapter : 3 : Why Are These Emotions So Hard To Control :
When he heard the familiar voice calling out to him Yamamoto Takeru came out of his inner thoughts and looked at the person who called him just now .
And what greeted him was a black haired matured beauty with dark brown eyes smiling at him .
It was of course non other than our dear Tenten herself .
" Yes . " after looking at her for a while he gave his answer in a curt and short manner which to many would sound disrespectful and rude .
However Tenten and the other girls didn't get mad over his behaviour but quickly understood that the kid in front of them ( Yamamoto Takeru ) was ' someone of few words ' .
And they had plenty of experiences dealing with this kind of people be it Sasuke , Gara or Neji .
They knew that although the boy in front of them was talking like that he didn't mean any insult or harm . It is just that he had a problem with communicating with others and express their feelings properly .
" Oh ! Look how cute you are little boy here have some candies . " - said Tenten as she took out a handful of candies from her bag and presented it to Yamamoto Takeru .
Right now Yamamoto Takeru was truly embarrassed . It was a fact that he was not good with proper and polite communication at all so even if he tried to become polite and speak to other in a friendly manner it always came out as rude .
That's why he always preferred to let his action decide rather than his words .
This has formed a certain level of pride within himself . So , being treated as a child truly hit his prideful heart hard .
" Hmph ! I don't like candies and I am not cute . And remember I am not a child I am a man and will become shinobi soon . " - he said while looking the other way around .
But while he trying to act tough his hands betrayed his actions and quickly grab the candies in Tenten hand .
Although he may act like an adult and mature more than any other of his age , he was a child in the end . So the allure of free candies got the best of him .
Seeing his actions only made the girls laugh even harder , even Ayame who was not far away joining in the laughter .
This only made Takeru's situation even more embarrassing .
' No ! why are my hands moving on it's own what happened to them . ' - he thought to himself as his face flushed red in embarrassment as he failed to control his actions .
In fact he was a sweet lover from the beginning even from his previous life but since coming to this world he had to use every bit of his will power from the bottom of his soul to resist using his money to buy candy .
But for some reason right now when Tenten offered him the candies he couldn't resist it . It felt strange, as if it was as someone very close to him was genuinely giving him something .
And if he had not known better he would have thought that he was under someone's Jutsu . But the truth was that even he knew that it was all his body's action and he didn't know why ?
" Hey hey what are you all laughing at huh ! ... I told you I am not a child I am a man I will be a shinobi soon . So stop laughing . " - unable to take control his actions and no way of retorting the other party's laughter Takeru spoke out loud in embarrassment trying to assert his dominance and prove the fact that he was not a child .
But his face red with embressment and childish voice only made the girls laugh even harder .
" Yes ... yes ... you are right you are not a little child are you now , you are a little man . " - said Tenten in a teasing voice as she gently ruffled his hair much to Takeru's initial dismay .
He tried to protest but found that for some reason he didn't dislike his hair being ruffled gently like that but instead he found it somehow soothing .
" So what's your name little man and where are your parents . " - this time it was Sakura who asked the question as everyone else finally put a stop to their laughter .
" Yamamoto Takeru , my name is Yamamoto Takeru and I am an orphan if you must know . " - said the Takeru with the last part of a sentence comeing out a little sad and forced .
As soon he finished speaking silence feel in the room as no one spoke anymore .
Hearing that Takeru was an orphan everyone including Tenten became very sad and emotional . Especially Tenten in perticular looked at the boy in front of him with much more attention as she gently ruffled Takeru's hair .
" Hey ! hey ! have you been training before coming here . " - seeing the awkward situation Yamanaka Ino spoke up directing the conversation elsewhere .
And honestly Takeru was grateful for it . Since he had problems with parent issue from his last life he had thought that being an orphan in this life will not affect him as much and he won't have to rely on anyone . But what happened was totally different then he expected . Instead of being happy whenever he thought of his all orphan status he felt angry over the parents some reason he becomes furious and sad .
And why is he calling abandoned , smple while he was in the orphanage he had heard the metron talking with someone about how he was left outside the orphanage door on a stormy night and no one came with him only one note stating his name .
Takeru had always had a peculiar family life from his past life that has given him deep mental and psychological scars .
Hence , he prefers not to talk too much his parents . But deep down his subconscious knew what he actually wanted was recognition and love from them his parents in his previous life . He didn't want to be alone and lonely but wanted to be a happy family . So when he became an orphan in this new life and heard the metron talking about the circumstances of his arrival the first and for most thing that came to his mind was that his parents had abandoned him for some reason .
( Author's Note : Hello guys I hope you all are doing well so before going any further into the story I would like to say somethings about the above mentioned lines of Takeru being abandand . I mean think about it , he had been treated as nothing more than garbage by his useless parents in his past life and now in his new life as an orphan when he heard about the circumstances of his arrival in the orphanage it is very simply logical for the negative emotions to come at play quickly .
While writing the character of Yamamoto Takeru I have considered different aspects of human nature including their psychological behaviour under different circumstances . So as I have said before the main character will go under character development as the series progress and he will not be perfect from the start . In order to become strong and happy he will need to overcome the ghosts of his past life and see more love and warmth in other people . So I hope you will understand the points I am making . )
" Yes you are right I was training to become stronger because I am going to join the shinobi academy soon . " - said Takeru .
" So how old are you anyway . " - asked Nara Temari .
" I am 4 years old and will turn 5 soon . " - answered Takeru while taking another bite from his tasty noodles .
" Good ! that means you will be on the same class as our childrens I hope you all can become friends and get along with each other . " - said Sakura with a cheerful voice .
" Hmph ! We will see about that . " - said Takeru while snorting but his attention was somewhere else entirely .
" Ding ! System Notification : Mark Your Impression - Completed .
Rewards :
( 1 ) Basic Medical Knowledge Pack .
( 2 ) Sunshin no Jutsu scroll .
( 3 ) Bunshin no jutsu scroll .
( 4 ) Wind Release : Gale Palm technique scroll .
( 5 ) Cooking skill ( activated ) .
" "
While Takeru was talking to the ladies his attention was suddenly attracted by the system quest complition notification .
As he went through the rewards he gained Takeru felt quite satisfied .
Everything in this reward were important and essential .
First of all was the basic of medical knowledge which was the required by every medical shinobi to learn . In fact in the boruto series this medical knowledge is were given to the academy student as well as a part of new education policy. These are essential for medical person to learn from cleaning of to bandaging and everything . Although once he had reached a good mastery in Hashirama Sanju temple let template even one of the best healing Jutsu will become irrelevant to him but that doesn't change the fact that learning medical knowledge is very important and if not for himself then for his comrades and other people .
Then there is the Sunshin no jutsu . It's a famous technique which reached its one of most famous height under the use of Uchiha Shisui a famous figure from Naruto series.
Then comes the bunsen no jutsu a simple clone jutsu which was famously known for our dear Naruto failing in his graduation exam . Although this is far cry from the Kage Bunshin no jutsu / Multi Shadow clone technique that Naruto uses , these low rank jutsu is one of the basic jutsu that one must learn in the academy . Although it may not give high chance of anything against strong opponent this is more than enough to deal with low level enemies .
Thirdly we have the Futon: Reppusho / Wind Release : Gail Palm technique a powerful C rank wind release .
Obviously is the cooking skill . Yes !it may not be an Ninja skill especially not good in fighting but hey this is an important daily life skills which is very important . It can help help cook for himself in wild environment . And it can also be useful especially if you want to impress someone or some people . You know capturing someone's heart with their stomachs ( Great Love advise ) .
" So I have already told you my name , so what's your name ? Don't you know it's rude not to introduce yourself . " - while he was thinking about the implication and benefits of the rewards , Yamamoto Takeru kept talking with the other people as to not arsose any suspicion .
" Oh sorry about that my name is Tenten and these are my friends Uchiha Sakura , Yamanaka Ino and Nara Temari and the lady you just got your ramen for us Ayame the daughter of this shopowner. " - said Tenten as she quickly introduced herself and the rest of the group to Takeru .
After hearing their names Takeru opened his eyes wide pretending to a little shocked as if he recognised their names from before .
" I think I know you . You are that lady from the hospital aren't you and you own a weapons shop correct . " - he said his tone a little more excited than before .
" Yes , you are right we do but how do you know about it Takeru have you ever visited my shop . " - said Tenten .
" Oh yes I have visited or atleast I wanted to visit your shop to buy a weapon before but Sigh ! the orphanage workers won't allow me to keep weapons with me for now because they think I am only 4 years old . " - Takeru said as he sighed in frustration as this is what truly happened .
" But they are right to you know . You are only 4 year old you should not have those are weapons with you what if you hurt yourself accidentally . " - replied Sakura showing concern .
" No I am a swordman if I want to improve myself I will need to practice with a real sword not with some wooden practice sword . " - replied Takeru with firm determination in his eyes .
" Alright then when you become student in the academy you can come to my shop and buy a sword for yourself I'll give you a special discount . " - said Tenten .
" Really thank you miss . " - Takeru thanked Tenten as he jumped out with joy like a child in genuine happiness .
He doesn't know if it's for the Miyamoto Musashi character template or not but he feels geniune happiness when he thinks about getting a real sword to use .
" Alright alright then that's enough of your shop promotion Tenten . " - said Nara Temari jokingly to which Tenten pouted.
" Takeru you should take care of your health more than training . Here just show me your hands . " - said Sakura as held Takeru's hand gently .
Soon a green light appeared in her hands and a cool sensation fell over Takeru's body .
Due to his Sanju blood he was able to quickly sense the incredible chakra control that Sakura used in this technique. As he could see his owns and injuries even the internal one which all the over very small started to heal quickly.
" This is the Shosen Jutsu / Mystical Palm technique . " - Takeru said in surprise . Although he had seen this technique in the show and manga from his previous life it's a completely different thing when he is seeing it infront of him .
( Authors Note : Hello guys I hope you all are doing well so before going any further I need to clarify something for you. The main character of the story Yamamoto Takeru has Senju Hashirama character template giving him the Sanju body and the healing properties of Hashirama cells but having these things doesn't mean that he is some kind of immortal entity , no he is far from it . Even Senju Hashirama has his own limits and since he is only a four year old child with little mastery over his character templates, even though injuries external and internal heals quite faster than rest of the people around him that does not mean that everything is healed quickly and perfectly . So the application of medical jutsu is quite required for him for now . So I hope you can understand my point of view . )
" You know this jutsu Takeru ? I am quite surprised you seem to have a lot of knowledge for your age . " - said Sakura with a surprised look on her face as she finished healing Takeru's injuries .
Even Tenten and others were now curious about how Takeru knew this jutsu .
But unaware of these things Takeru continued to speak .
" Yes , Shosen Jutsu or Mystical Palm technique is an A rank medical ninjutsu with is often associated with the modified Ox - Tiger hand seals ( varies ) with an effective range of 5 metres ( for most of the people ) . It's a medical ninjutsu that allows the user to speed up the body's narutal healing process by sending chakra from their hands into the wounded or affected body parts of the body and can be used to treat both external and internal injuries . " - said Takeru in a childish excitement voice completely forgetting the implications of his actions might bring .
But Sakura and others who were present at the scene were not so calm .
Especially Sakura who had a complex expression on her face .
" What more do you know Takeru ? " - she asked her tone taking a serious note to it .
' Oh ! No I said too much . ' - after hearing Sakura's words and feeling everyone's intense eyes on him Takeru quickly came back to his senses and understood that he was in a pickle .
Because what he said was too much information that a 4 years old orphan shouldn't know .
' Stupid me and my stupid mouth . Ahhh ! Why are these emotions so hard to control . ' - although on outside he was still wearing the same expression with only a touch of surprise on his face inwardly he was cursing himself for letting his guard down .
But he knew what done is done and cannot be changed , so instead of he stared thinking about a way out . And fortunately he had already created multiple covers for future scenarios like this .
So after confirming the perfect excuse in his mind Takeru looked at the girls seriously and opened his mouth .
" Well ... "
To be continued .
