"Greetings Kushina Sensei"

"Ahhhhhhh" Kushina is almost having a heart attack seeing Hoseki when she opens her door. She is having this shocking experience, this early in the morning. "Bammm!" Kushina close thr door showing her refusal.

Hoseki stand up in front of her door and refuse to budge and keeps asking for his apprenticeships.

From that day, Hoseki doesn't stop expressing his desire. He will follow wherever Kushina goes and start pestering her.

"Sensei, let me hold it for you."

"Sensei I will send it for you."

"Sensei let me open the door for you."

"Sensei I do... "

"Sensei I will... "

"Sensei let me.... "

" Sensei... "

"Sensei... "

"Sensei... "

After a few days, whole village heard about his interaction with Kushina. Wherever Kushina goes he will chase and pestering her to be his teacher. He also dare to wait for Kushina openly in front of public toilets or bath with slogan 'waiting for my sensei'

Hokage office.

An anbu give his report to the third hokage. "That's what is happening hokage sama."

Massaging his head, the third hokage looks into the report, "This boy, what did he up to this time. Should I stop him?"

Knowing the big position Kushina hold in the village, the third hokage having headache upon receiving the news. "Just keep your eyes on him for now. Give me updated time to time."

"Yes, hokage sama" the anbu dissappear after receiving his order.

"Sens.."

"STOP IT!!!"

"Stop decided me as your teacher by yourself" Kushina stop holding back and shout.

"But I want to learn from you. Please sensei" Hoseki bow and begging her.

"I have nothing to teach you. You should go to academy to learn" Kushina refuse.

"I have sent my clone to academy. No problem. I am learning there. You can teach me without problem here." Hoseki explain his current situation.

"You study in academy? Then, what more can I teach you?" Kushina ask in confusion.

"Fuinjutsu" he shortly replies

"Boy, the academy DOES teach fuinjutsu."

"But.. You are an Uzumaki. The Uzumakis were always praised for their fuinjutsu. The Uzumaki was the one who sealing the ninetail beast. They said the Uzumakis were the best when it comes to sealing abilities. There is also a saying that the Uzushiogakure faced inhalation because of some people envy and afraid of their gift".

"As the future greatest shinobi, I shall learn from the best." Hoseki trying his best to praise her.

"I, I am to young to teach you anything" after being praised, Kushina show some reluctant but still refusing him.

"Compare to an old teacher, having young and beautiful as a teacher is best deal I can get. Please sensei" Hoseki starting to get on his kness again.

"Stop get on your knees every single time! Get up and follow me". Kushina kicks Hoseki in anger and walk to her house.

'Yatta'

Hoseki smile widely and follows her.

In her house, Kushina sit down on floor with a scroll. Infront of her, Hoseki sit obediently.

"First of all stop calling me 'Sensei'. Because of you, I don't think. I will ever stand being call sensei after this." Kushina start talking after a period of time.

"Then.. Maste.."

"Don't start calling me master either. Call me Onee-chan (big sister) is enough." Kushina cut him off before he finish, talking.

"Yes nee-chan" Hoseki immediately nod

"I might teach you, but it depends either you have talent or not. I take that you have learn some basic on fuinjutsu. So now you need to decipher this scroll as best as you can". Kushina open the scroll to test Hoseki telent.

{The night he decides to learn fuinjutsu}

Hoseki open his storage and click on the '10x learning abilities point' item

[10x learning abilities point is ready to activate. Pls choose the study that you want to upgrade]

"Fuinjutsu"

[PROCESSING ]

"Urg.. Darn it. Can't you put some warning?!" Hoseki starting to get hard headache.

[COMPLETE]

The headache immediately gone and he fell into sleep.

(A/N: this item will be call 'learning abilities point' from now onward. I decided it as the word affinity is more inclined on elements study)

Looking seriously at the scroll, Hoseki start describe it in details. The lines, the chakra path and the seal power that need and the uses that he can guess, are being laid down one by one.

Kushina open her eyes widely, "You must be kidding me", she shouts in her heart.

She know what the academy had taught fuinjutsu, but they are all basic study. To explain and understand a real seal in one glance, needs to have good understanding or outstanding talent in fuinjutsu. This 5 years old boy laid the details with high accuracy and even guess correctly its uses.

"This godsend talent is the best I ever seen, and he came directly to my door. I hit jackpot!" Kushina smile widely and start to laugh slowly

"Hahaha. This village will see the best fuinjutsu master in future and he will be my apprentice. Those oldmen, I will show them what I, Uzumaki Kushina made of." Kushina have new thoughts while she is laughing quietly.

Seeing Kushina suddenly laughing, makes Hoseki wonders if he making any mistakes.

"Nee-chan? "

"Ah! Hoseki. Good job. You really have talent for Fuinjutsu. However, don't be conceited, that was the lowest scroll that we have in our clan. We use the scroll to measure the depth of your theory understanding on Fuinjutsu. Your journey has just begin". Kushina is very satisfied with her new apprentice and praise him.

"Umm.. I am busy today and have no suitable material to use for teaching you. So you should go back and come tomorrow for your first lesson. Oh wait a minute". She stand up and walks to her room.

A few minutes later she come with a few books and scrolls. She puts them in front of Hoseki and tell him "You should study all this materials for your first lesson".

" Mission complete". "Should i say half complete?. 'S to S' operation should be 'stalker to students'. But now I am an apprentice not a student. Whatever. That mission can go to wherever it want. The important thing is, she has agreed to teach me." He smiles and walks to his house holding the books and scroll
