Chapter 3 : Happy Birthday (Rewrite)
TIME SKIP - 1 YEAR LATER
Kirito has grown a little in the past year.
In this past year, he has been working hard to grow stronger.
However, he was only able to learn 3 new techniques in the entire calendar year.
And with every technique he learned, he got mastery. Meaning he can do it without a hand sigh and even some variation if he so desires.
[The Replacement Technique]
[Shun-Shin Technique]
[Transformation Technique]
He learned them all. He even learns the Shuriken throwing. With makeshift Kunai with wood.
And when he was thinking about all this, suddenly the system rang.
[Ding. Congratulations Host for unlocking 10% of Minato's template]
[System reward is being awarded]
[Shadow Clone Technique Upgraded to Multi Shadow Clone Technique]
This shocked Kirito even more. He did not know that if he increases progress in the template he will be awarded rewards.
'This is awesome, I almost thought that I need to steal that damn seal book to get this technique considering how I didn't get it directly from Minato's memories.'
Maybe the system is giving him not only Minato's Jutsu but even his capabilities.
Kirito was very happy and now was looking forward to what he got when he upgraded his template to 20%, 30%, or even 50 and 100%.
Anyways today is his Birthday.
Being Naruto's twin brother means that on your birthday people are more hostile to you.
He wanted to celebrate today with his brother because, in a few weeks, he and Naruto will be joining the ninja academy.
He already has hunted 2 wild rabbits and purchased ramen materials under transformation jutsu.
He saves the money which Hokage gives him every month by saving his eating expenses by hunting for food.
Today he can use some of that money to surprise Naruto and celebrate with him.

[Kirito POV]
I quickly came home with the wild rabbits with me and started preparing before Naruto came home too.
Since the day, I learned shadow clone jutsu I have been spending less time with Naruto and kept on training.
Most of the time I just send a shadow clone to accompany him.
He did get the clone's memory but that's not the same as spending time with Naruto.
So the plan for today is to spend time with Naruto.
I quickly made 2 shadow clones after sensing that no one was monitoring me.
Hyper Focus is super handy.
He could not only sense Naruto's surroundings but was also able to sense where is Naruto in the village if he focused on his chakra.
Naruto's chakra stands out among other shinobi and civilians like a sore thumb.
I use one clone to make food while another clone decorates their home with balloons and pictures of foods and previous Hokages.
"What would be his face if I said that one of us is our father," Kirito mused to himself.
I personally work on preparing the ramen he purchases from the market.
In 15 minutes with my speed, everything was completed.
Naurto was within 30 seconds of walking distance.
I quickly close all the curtains and switch off the lights and candles.
Ready to surprise Naruto on his entry.
"I am home brother".
[POV END}

[Naruto POV]
What did I do wrong?
Why I and my brother been hated by the other villagers?
I had never even seen this demon fox.
How can I be him?
Naruto was thinking all these kinds of things after getting bullied by other kids and villagers.
He wanted to purchase some ramen on his birthday but the Ichiraku Ramen is full and other shop owners won't sell him Ramen any more.
A drop of tear was visible on his 7-year-old face.
All his life he was only treated right by his brother, his Jiji and the people in Ichiraku Ramen.
Naruto was down and wanted to just spend some time with his brother now.
Before entering his house he wipes the teardrop from his eyes and puts a fake smile on his face.
When he opens the door he finds everything dark.
The Anbu who was trailing Naruto also saw that.
Anbu was ordered by the Hokage to protect Naruto but that's it.
They were not allowed to interfere in any other matter.
They saw that Naruto's house was dark and no one was in it.
He was already on guard and was ready to protect Naruto if something happened.
I walk in asking my brother if he is there.
"Brother are you in there".
"...".
"Bro where are you".
I went inside and looked for Kirito.
But as soon as I stepped inside I saw the light turn on.
The entire room was decorated with balloons and images of the previous Hokage.
I finally saw my brother standing there with a mega-watt smile on his face.
"Happy Birthday Brother," He said with a kind tone.
I was stunned.
Never before they have celebrated their birthday. They only wish when themselves.
Even his brother never forgot to wish him but still, they never were able to celebrate the day. There was nothing to celebrate in the first place.
Almost everyone hates them more on this day. Most of the time, this day was worse than their usual days. Their birthday was nothing to be happy about.
Before I could think about anything more I looked at the table where many different types of foods and his favourite ramen.
[POV END]

Naruto was so happy at this that the recently wiped tear from his eyes appeared again.
He and his brother were the most hated people in Konoha.
Nobody ever sells them anything and always looks at them with hatred.
Kirito did not bother to bring a cake at all.
He knew that Naruto would be happier to get Ramen over a cake with a bunch of candles on top of it.
Naruto on the other hand did not say a word.
Then Naruto just directly rushed towards his brother hugging and crying.
"Okay okay, Don't put a snort on my shirt. Let's just eat otherwise the ramen will grow cold," said Kirito.
Finally, Naruto calmed down and said with a smile.
"Hai, let eat dattebayo".
When the Anbu trailing Naruto was taken aback at the surprise.
Kirito could sense that.
'Yeah take that, a 5-year-old able to sneak under your noses,' Kirito had a little smirked.
In a few weeks, he and Naruto will be going to attend Ninja Academy.
