Chapter- 5

I get out of my grandmother's arms and run to my mother to which she bends down and picks me up as I speak "I meditated for the first time okaasan, and managed to get into my balance point!"

To which she widens her eyes and looks at Kimiko "is that true?"

Kimiko shakes her head with a big smile on her lips "yes, our little Satoru managed to do that on his first try fufufu"

Fumiko hugs her son tighter with his face against her and his face is full of smiles "haha my musuko*son in Japanese* is a genius!"

Ohh man this is really good, but I can't breathe "mom I'm running out of air! Let me out a little, can we continue the hug so I won't suffocate to death? Haha"

So my mom releases me and puts me on the floor, but gets on her knees touching my cheeks "OH I'm sorry son, I think I let my enthusiasm get too high. Hihihi your dad will be happy to know that he will be able to spend more time around you, without you making stinky faces fufufu^^^"

To which my obaasan agrees saying "that's true fufufu I still remember the first time this occurred, he cried and cried all night saying his dear son hates him fufufu^-^"

I feel my face getting hot hearing all this because I feel very guilty for this happening, I prefer my mother without any doubt, but I also love my father. In my former life, my father spent a lot of time traveling for work and when not... he is a workaholic, it was only when I was 12 that this stopped a little.

But it made me like my mom more and I ended up not caring much for my dad. He tried to make up for a lost time, but... I was already 12, and everything he wanted to do as a father I had already done as my grandfather.

My mother sensed my mixed emotions and said "no need to blame yourself son, your father cried but I am sure that in the midst of those tears, were tears of joy that you are a genius capable of awakening your senses so early! He's always bragging about how his little muzuko is going to be a great ninja hahaha"

My obaasan stood up came to me and messed up my hair and said "what your okaasan said is true Satoru-kun, don't be depressed about it. Now I have to go, I promised mito-chan that I would accompany her for tea today. Do you want to go satoru-kun? So you can play a little with little Nawaki.

My okaasan agrees "that's good, go with your obaasan son, I will prepare dinner, it will be a big celebratory meal for your conquering today!!! Just don't get hurt ok?"

I agree nodding my head and give my mom a hug "see you in a bit okaasan!"

-A few minutes later

-Satoru POV

When I was 2 years old, I found out that my cousin Nawaki is 1 year younger than me. That means I am 1 year older than the class, and I will start the ninja academy first. Not that it matters, I will graduate early as I don't plan on staying that long at the ninja academy.

As we walk down the road to my aunt grandmother's yard, I look at this beautiful forest that surrounds the entire senju compound "Obaasan, were all these trees made by grandpa hashirama?"

Kimiko who was looking at her lovely grandson, lifts her head and looks at the dense large trees and then at the large lake in the distance "yes, not only the trees he also made most of the houses here. The lakes were made by his ojiisan, he had a huge connection with the water elements, able to create huge tsunamis in a matter of seconds! Your father also has a very strong connection with water, he just didn't reach the same level as your grandfather, not even hashirama had this connection. For his ojiisan was in fact also a sage, the sage of the waters! And this created a link between him and the water nymphs."

She finishes saying and I can see by her bright blue eyes that this is something she takes great pride in. "but don't despise your father, he is on his way to becoming a sage too, he managed to get accepted by the nymphs and the sea sage 1 years ago!!! Of course to be accepted by that old monster he has to fight a lot still."

I look up with great doubt and scratch my chin with my right hand, since the left is being held by my beautiful grandmother "old monster? And what are nymphs?" my grandmother looks at me with a KAWAIII type face.

"hihihihi if your mother saw your cute face right now!!! She would be stuck on you for hours asking you to do it again fufufu^^^" she stops for a moment and then continues "water nymphs are very unique beings, they are described as water goddesses. But in the valley of the water sages, they are the representatives of the water elements, and represent one of the water sages. They train the contractors in the water elements and also guide them in the trials of the sages, for each nymph they have their own water domains, ranging from a small river to the great ocean. But they are not fighters, they are fragile and weak.

But as a representative of the sages or water gods, she stands for a lot. Your grandfather passed the test of all the nymphs, every time you pass a test you gain more connection to the element of water. And the old monster I said, that's a conversation for another time, but let me stir your imagination! He looks like a giant carp, but he is more beautiful than carp, he has 4 wings, 2 pairs on each side. His color is like the universe, only the stars are red, he has a belly with white. They call him the Sage Roc!!!(can also be called kun peng)"(Image)

My eyes have stars as I picture this beautiful being, and I begin to imagine myself sitting on his head as we flew through the skies and made our enemies fear us!!! AHAHAHHA.

I just keep thinking, how did my grandfather, who has such a strong summons, die?
