I took a deep breath, feeling the changes in my body, I felt slightly stronger, not by much, but it was enough for me to notice it, my five senses had a small boost, and the warm in my body was still present, it was almost undetectable but when focused it felt the same as at the beginning of the process, another change I noticed was that besides the Chakra that was concentrated and generated on my abdomen, there was another type of energy concentrated on my forehead, it had an Indigo coloration, it seemed like a flame but the way it behaved was closer to the mist being dragged and dissipated by the wind.

Finally, I opened my eyes and looked around, to my surprise aunt Kurenai wasn't in the room anymore, that's really irresponsible of her, leaving a three year old alone in a dangerous situation, or maybe she had that much confidence in me, I took a glance to the clock on the wall, it marked midday, what seemed to be minutes for me were actually a couple of hours.

I stood up, noticing my clothes were soaked with sweat, I made my way towards my room, to change myself, I put on a white T-shirt and blue shorts, went back towards the kitchen, grabbed a plastic cub filling it with water, I was dehydrated, I was busy drinking water when I heard the entrance door being open, made my way to the living room, to find aunt Kurenai entering the house, she looked at me standing in the middle of the living room, and rushed at me like if my life was in danger.

"Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?" unable to conceal the concern on her voice and face, she said while touching and checking every part of my body, looking for bruises, cuts or inflammation, "you don't seem to be hurt, so that means you were unable to keep your Chakra Pathway open, is okay we can try again in a week, most people need three or four attempts before being able to keep it open" she was trying to reassure me, making sure I wouldn't depress by what she thought was a failed attempt.

"I didn't fail, the Chakra is circulating without issue, I just needed to change my clothes and drink some water" I replied, not understanding her concern.

"What?! It's only been two hours, how is it possible for you to finish the process in such small amount of time? It normally takes twice the amount of time for someone to stabilize their Chakra Pathway, I even went to the academy looking for a special oil to help you with the process" she reached for a bag, and took out a clay pot that had some seals applied to it, either for conservation or security measures.

"Well, I was able to do it, that means I'm a prodigy" I proudly said sticking my chest out, putting my hands on my hips and raising my chin slightly mimicking a superhero pose, but I was quickly brought back to earth, by a smack on the head.

"Don't get cocky now, you just learned how to crawl, you still need to take your first real step in the ninja world, but we'll do that tomorrow, now you need to take a shower, and rest" She pinched her nose.

{Yūhi Kurenai POV}

Kenji was unlike his peers, he would act like a kid sometimes and others he'll show an unnatural level of maturity, I wouldn't be too surprised if he had some Nara genes on him, but that wasn't the case, he never made tantrums, he eats all we give him even if he doesn't like it, I was never able to fool him with dumb 'magic tricks' like faking I split my finger from my hand or that I stole his nose, he was exceptional.

Yesterday incident just confirmed what I already knew, he had the potential to become a great asset to the village, he saw something he deemed unfair, and rushed to stop it, he made a mistake, but it was a minor one, he was outnumbered and outmatched, but I attribute that to his lack of experience, I could work with that, his heart and morals were in the right place that's why I decided to help him, that, and I don't like hypocrites, specially when they try to hurt my family.

And today, just when I thought he couldn't surprise me anymore, he asked me to train him, I have to admit I was opposed to the idea, I didn't want him to put himself in danger doing ninja stuffs, who's the hypocrite now? But I knew that even if I refused he would try it on his own, he is stubborn just like his father, at least this way I would be able to keep him away from the things he wasn't ready, but my plans changed once again, he not only was able to keep his Chakra Pathway open, he did it on his first attempt and on record time, the only other person I knew was able to do that was Kakashi and I heard rumors that the Uchiha prodigy did a similar feat.

If my assessment of Kenji's abilities is correct, he is ready for the big leagues, but I can't let him know that, or he will become arrogant and won't put enough effort in his training, and if I learned one thing in all these years is that talent is just a part of the equation, he needs hard work and resolve to become a great ninja.
