Ch. 21 Adoption

( Third Hokage)

As Shisui finished his report on Yutos talent on making a new sword technique just from understanding the water and performing more forms as he trained with Shisui.

"Thank you for the report, Shisui. you can go now."

Shisui:" Yes, Lord Hokage."

Seeing Shisui leaving, I thought how I should keep a better I on Yuto and with how easily he learns and creates new sword techniques. I thought I should put him in the academy early, so when Danzo learns about him, he'll be able to stay safely there for a while.

I'm thinking for a while about Yuto, when suddenly I thought about the Uchihas strange movement and their change of attitude towards the villagers. Knowing that they're preparing for something thanks to Shisuis reports on their movement.

'It seems that I'll have to think about a way to overcome this.'

While thinking that I took out my smoking pipe, to help relax in the office under the moon.

* Next Morning *

(Yuto Pov )

[Yuto (Takahashi)]

[Level 10 [ 225xp/750xp -> 425xp/750xp]

[Stat points = 62 -> 64]

[Ryo = 27,100 -> 28,600]

[Hp =1,843] [36HP/s]

[Cp = 7,475] [36CP/S]

[Strength = 240.5 -> 242 -> 243.5]

[Dexterity =129.5 -> 130 -> 130.5]

[Agility =240.5 -> 241-> 241]

[Vitality =243]

[Intelligence = 166]

[Wisdom = 178]

[Endurance = 278 -> 280 ->282]

[Charisma = 149]

[Luck = 176]

With the increase of my status, I knew I was improving at a fast rate, so I needed to control how to keep my strength hidden. Right now, I was being questioned by Yoshiko and managed to get every question right.

Yoshiko:" Well, it seems you're a little genius, I'll check these books in. You could go and get new ones." After saying that she started to write in her notebook, probably to keep track of the books. Walking past the front esk, I started to pick the academy books and then the books that could give me any skills. Using [Observe], I managed to come across a book.

[ How to learn etiquette 101]

[Passive Ability: Graceful aura]

[No matter what situation or how stupid you look, you'll always look graceful as a swan.]

' Iris'

<Yes?>

'Is there a book on getting a badass aura instead.'

< There should be a possibility.>

Putting the book back into its place, I began my conquest on finding a badass aura skill. Using my [Observe] to my fullest, I came across another skill book

[Writing for beginners]

[ New skill: Writing]

[ + 2 Intelligence]

[ + 2 Wisdom]

'Well, this is nice. It's a way to upgrade my Intelligence and Wisdom stats. I've also noticed that I liked reading as I read this world's history and its story that wasn't mentioned in Canon. Writing wouldn't be so back, I guess.'

I am picking up the book. I set it aside, either the others, to look for another skill book. A few minutes later, I managed to look for another book.

[ Gambling your luck away]

[ New Skill: Gambling] [Active]

[ ×2 Luck for 5 minutes]

[ Cool down 15 minutes]

Grabbing this book as the skill was useful. As I walked toward the other books, another book caught my eye with its cool design. Stopping and picking it out, I looked at it with [Observe]

[ The Fearful Samurai]

[ New Skill: Fear] [ Active]

[ Debuff attack: -50% stats]

[ 100% successful for people with the same level or below]

With just one glance, I just took the book and grabbed the others, and went to the front desk. And as Yoshiko was checking them out.

Yoshiko:" Gambling? aren't you a little too young to be gambling?"

I just shrugged my shoulders as I pointed out the books that were on a showcase facing out the shops window named [ icha icha paradise]

Yoshiko:" Touchè"

With that said, I picked my books and left them back towards the orphanage to put them away to read them later.

* An hour later*

Leaving the orphanage to continue training. I suddenly stopped as to why I felt I had forgotten something.

' Shisui? wasn't he supposed to watch over me. If he's not here, he's either on a mission or watching me from somewhere.'

I'm checking the map. I saw two green dots not too far away from me. Moving around the village and saw that they were following me, I knew that had to be Shisui and Itachi.

Knowing it was them, I left toward a dango shop and ordered three sets of them. after paying for the food, I went out and took off my glasses and started to eat as I stared at the place they were hiding at, which was at the top of the house across from me.

( Itachi Pov)

He knows that we're here, I thought he didn't find us when we were spying on him at the library. And now it seems that he's eating my favorite food in front of me as he looks at us without his sunglasses, although his face or eyes don't show it, he seems to be mocking us.

Shisui: * sigh* " Let's just go down. It seems he already noticed us already."

Nodding my head, we both went down, and I greeted him with a nod and went inside to get some dango as well. While ordering, I heard Shisui.

Shisui:" So how did you know we were there?"

Yuto seemed to put back his sunglasses and shrugged his shoulders as he just enjoyed his dango while I awaited mine.

Shisui:" Ah, I get it. You love me so much that you were able to gain a sixth sense if I'm nearby, huh?"

Shisui said the most stupid explanation, and I don't know if I could tell, but I'm sure Yuto agrees at he just blankly stares at Shisui. And shisui was nodding his head as he looked like he solved a million dollar question.

I was getting my dango and eating them outside before Shisui could take them.

(Yuto Pov)

I finished my dango and ignored Itachi, eating his with superhuman speed and Shisui's stupid remarks. I went to the river to train in [water breathing] Again.

Arriving at the river and getting on, I summoned 3 shadow clones to help with increasing the [ water breathing ] as not only I would use it, but my shadow clones would as well.

Shisui:" hoh? three shadow clones already."

Ignoring him once more, I started to spar with my shadow clones as Shisui and Itachi watched on as Shisui, for some unknown reason, had popcorn, and Itachi looked at him with a questioning face.

* A few hours later. *

Shisui:" Wow, you managed to create two more forms." Shisui clapped as he looked at me, and Itachi had a complicated face.

Since the sun was going down, I started to leave and checked the maps to see if anybody was following me, noticing a blue dot coming towards. I turned my attention as a familiar face came approaching.

Hiroshi:" Kid!! there you are, I couldn't find you at the training grounds."

Nodding at him as I pointed where the river was.

Hiroshi:" The bathouse?"

I was shaking my head and used wave motion for a river.

Hiroshi:" Oh a river!!"

Nodding as I looked at him to see what he was calling me for.

....we looked at each other....and he looked stupid as he forgot what he was going to say. I'm not getting an answer from him. I walked back to the orphanage but immediately stopped as Hiroshi held my shoulder.

Hiroshi:" Hold on, kid, I need advice as I'm going to be meeting Yuriokos parents next week."

I looked at him once more, and I noticed that he was checking his watch, and I wanted to test something else. sprinting towards the orphanage and Hiroshi, surprised about my new speed. quickly flickered I front of me.

Hiroshi:" Hold on, Yuto, I really need advice."

I pointed at his eyes, and to his watch, it seemed he understood what I meant as he showed a defeat face.

Hiroshi: * Sigh* " You know you're too smart for your own good. come on, I'll walk you to the orphanage. "

Walking with Hiroshi towards the orphanage and by the time we got there, I noticed the number of people standing in front of the door on my map. And that put my guard up, Hiroshi, noticing my guard was up.

Hiroshi:" Geez kid, calm down. It's a surprise....oh shit."

Looking at him as an idiot I opened the Door to everyone screaming.

"CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING ADOPTED!!!"

' Who says that to a 5 years old." Was my last thought as I was greeted by Yuriko and Sister Nonou.
