2 Konoha Visit

"Lord Third, are you sure my Tenshin is alright?" My mother anxiously asked the Hokage who was looking at my mother and me in grandfatherly way.

I even forgot to blink while looking at a real legend of this world I live in now. Despite showing real signs of aging in his face and body, Hiruzen excludes an aura of someone of power and wisdom.

I've seen and meet generals of the army in my previous life when I once served in the military, but Hiruzen was way above their level. It was like comparing a newborn child to a grownup. The people of this world are a whole lot different from my previous one that's for sure.

"Don't worry Madam Shijimi, I assure you our little lord is quite fine. In fact, the Iryo-nin assured me that she had never seen a toddler as healthy as him before. The Fire Country surely are blessed to have an heir like this child." Hiruzen laughed heartily while patting my head gently.

Now that this old man reminded me, my first time in contact with this world's chakra was surreal. When the doctor checked me with her glowing hands, I felt the warm and unexplainable energy passing through my body like it was scanning my insides in a noninvasive but gentle manner.

The chakra of the doctor even leads me to have me first feel my own chakra when she checked for any foreign chakra that might have invaded my systems. And boy does it feel amazing to just feel the chakra inside me although it was really small at this point, it was something that I've never known back on earth.

Having the chance to do flashy Jutsus like how Naruto and the others did in the anime is a good enough reason to look forward to in the future. For now, I'll fully accept the reality that I'm one of those cliché SI of some fanfiction that I've read before, besides I'm the feudal lord's son.

The best thing I could do now was to prepare my self and plan properly in the future to make sure I could live or even do something about this world. I mean, I'm basically the heir lord of one of the most powerful country of this world, right?

Then, to hell if I won't use my family's power to rise above in this world. I surely won't just be some powerless Daimyo in the future that's for sure – I'm not even sure if I would like to be just a daimyo, but well that's for some time in the future to decide.

"As long as our son is all right and healthy. But still, Hiruzen I want that person who attacked us find as soon as possible." My father standing beside us commanded in a serious tone towards the Hokage.

"Of course, Lord Daimyo. Even as of now, my Anbu's are tracking the perpetrator as best as they can." Hiruzen assured my father.

"Well then, I'm afraid our little Kenshin needs some rest after that long journey. We'll talk business tomorrow in the morning." My father bid the Hokage his leave as we left the Hokage tower alongside our guards.

Now, finally after we made it through the feudal lord's mansion in Konoha, I could now move to my own plans. I waited until after dinner when both my parents have tuck me in for the night inside my own room with one of the maid servants shushing me to sleep.

Thankfully whatever that Iryo-nin did to me earlier gave me too much vitality that I still have more energy than usual. I faked to fall asleep as the maid servant finally went towards her own bedroom just beside my own.

'Finally. I've been itching to try and probe this strange energy in my stomach.' I sat up my bed and concentrated trying to remember the feeling earlier when the Iryo-nin scanned me.

'Found it!' It only took me a couple seconds of concentration to grasp that warm and comforting feeling inside my stomach.

It got me so excited to feel this supernatural energy, that I accidentality made it flare up a bit despite its small amount. It was like a candle light that briefly turned to a flame torch in power for an instant but really small in size.

I felt the immediate effects as my body felt somewhat hot especially at my navel all the way to my solar plexus. It's like a whole level of sensitivity compared to when I do yoga back on earth.

'This is amazing. I'm not even doing any meditation right now but I could really feel the chakra flowing through my solar plexus and navel area.' I concentrated more as I close my eyes and tried circulating the chakra at those two points.

Couple of minutes after, I opened my eyes and felt more rejuvenated just like when I was freshly checked by the Iryo-nin earlier. But my miniscule chakra has dwindled to just a flicker amount and I estimated I need it to recover. As much as I want, I don't want to know how it feels to empty my chakra this young.

Feeling more energetic than before and having nothing more to do, I decided to be a jerk and call out my maid who was probably already asleep in a loud voice.

"Nana!"

A few seconds later the door opened as my maid appeared right away and asked me what's wrong. Of course, playing the part of the child – which I'm so used now, I asked for a 'carry me' and felt the soft bosom of her.

To bad I still don't have any urges right now, but laying your face in a woman's bosom is really comfortable to the point of addicting. This went on for some time while I asked to have her read me stories after as per usual before going to bed.

I was unfamiliar with the writing system of this world so as much as possible I always ask to have me on their lap whenever they read me a story to at least try and learn how to read. She read to me until at some point I fell asleep.

Our stay at Konoha the past week was really fun for me. Every day my mother and I would have visitors from the heads of the clans of Konoha, and thanks to that I was able to meet the chibi versions of the heirs of the Rookie 9.

Turns out I was two years younger than the Rookie 9 besides Naruto. Which of course I didn't even catch a glimpse of throughout my stay in Konoha.

I tried to be as dignified whenever I was introduced to each of the main characters but it didn't have the desired effects as I thought it would be. Although they were all very respectful at the start with their prepared greetings – I know thought to them by their parents, but whenever we were left on our own to play things get boring or real messy.

Well messy specifically towards one blondie little girl. All other heirs of the Rookie 9 were mostly tame and behave when we tried playing like Hinata, Shino and Shikamaru. Even Sasuke was adorably behave alongside his brother Itachi who studied me curiously the whole time while Sasuke and I were playing.

I had lots of fun playing with puppies with Kiba who was really like a puppy too, wonder what happened that he became like that in the anime. The most fulfilling one to hang out with was definitely with Choji, I almost didn't want to go back after tasting all the delicious foods that the Akamichi's have prepared for us.

But the most terrifying one amongst them was the blondie menace – not Naruto, but Yamanaka Ino. Out of all the heirs in Konoha, that little girl really had the 'fan girl' in her veins from the start. I guess I have my mother to thanks for my adorable looks that is surely going to grow into a lady killer in the future.

Ino was in a sense the real spoiled brat out of all the heirs, even his father sweated heavily while looking at her daughter thrashed me around their place. The Yamanaka princess just didn't have a sense of boundary as she dragged and do things with me throughout the whole period of our visit at their clan.

I almost passed out of tiredness by of Ino, I swear that I shall keep my distance with her in the future, ever. Finally, the final day of our visit ended as we are on our way to 'Home' at last. I wasn't even able to progress that much with exploring my chakra nodes.

I was still only feeling the navel and solar plexus nodes opened a bit wider since I started my own Meditation technique that I based on my limited but somehow effective knowledge of Yoga on Earth.

As mother and I waited outside our carriage while father was bidding farewell with the Hokage and the Konoha Elders – which included the creepy Danzo, I was doing circulating my own chakra quietly while in my mother's arms.

I realized that this technique was not something even one of the twelve Guardians that was assigned to me can't detect. So, I didn't think that I would somehow earn the sudden attention of the old Hokage when he walked towards my mother and I at the carriage.

"Thank you so much for the Hospitality this past week Lord Third." Even while my mother was saying the pleasantries at Hiruzen his eyes were glued at me while mother was talking.

Even I could not help but stared back curiously at him, only when mother bowed did Hiruzen seemed to have noticed my mother.

"Ohh? Ahh, It's always our pleasure Madam Shijimi." He lightly bowed to mother and then gently patted my head while smiling warmly. "And safe travels to you as well little lord."

Somehow, I got the feeling that he knew something or saw what I was doing earlier and gained his attention. But instead of feeling nervous about getting found out, when I saw his warm smile at me, I only felt proud that I laughed back in return, which earned a heartful laughed from the Hokage.

As our carriage passed through the gates of Konoha I waved playfully at Hiruzen and the others as my Mother urged me to wave at them. And when my eyes met with the eye of the only person – Danzo, that was not waving back in return, I gruffly turned my head in contempt and stop waving at them.

****

"Huh?" Hiruzen was surprised when he saw the little lord suddenly stopping waving happily at them.

He looked at the person beside him where the little lord last made eye contact with, and saw Danzo a bit surprised as well.

"Danzo, what happened?" Hiruzen raised an eyebrow at his old friend in question.

"Hmm, somehow the little lord didn't like me." Danzo regained his stoic expression while looking at the carriage.

"Well of course, you're the only one not waving back at the little lord." Koharu said while smirking a little at Danzo's predicament.

"Hahaha, Danzo was never been good with children. I just hope the little lord won't remember you because of this in the future." Homura laughed as well as Danzo walked backed inside the village quietly while Koharu and Homura followed while the two talked about their own grandchildren.

Only Hiruzen stood still in his position while looking at the carriage of the Daimyo. He was thinking about the interesting thing he found out just a while ago.

"Tenshin Hediyoshi…" He took out his pipe and lit it up, puffing some while thinking, and soon laughed loudly when he remembered the proud laughed of the child earlier.
