"what are you looking at, brat?" says Kushina to the child for staring at her, she felt uncomfortable since people often hate on her for her hair color.

"I'm sorry beautiful nee-san, i didn't mean to be rude, it's just that it's the first time that I've seen someone with red hair like me" replies Aka probing her IQ by dropping some clues about his origin, he also wants Minato to suspect him being an Uzumaki so he won't have problems if he declares himself as one when he(Minato) is Hokage.

some people might wonder 'how would it benefit him if he exposed himself as a Uzumaki? wouldn't it just bring him trouble?'.

Well, he would get the protection of the village as one of the few Uzumakis alive, and he would get full access to every Uzumaki fuinjutsu available to the village, seen that his ancestor's scroll doesn't have any instructions on the usage or activation of the adamantine sealing chains of 'his' clan, that are probably only available to the family of the clan head, and as previously stated, his ancestor only had a high position in the clan, probably an elder, nothing more.

As for trouble? who cares about that when one has the power? only the weak fear trouble. Reckless? Not at all, if one has the strength to back it, he has the right to be reckless or arrogant. In addition to that, the village will most likely protect him as a member of a clan on the verge of extinction as said.

oh? and Danzo? he probably won't survive till the next Hokage election, our MC will make sure of that.

"Oh! if that's the case then I'll forgive you on the condition that you give big sister a hug." says Kushina while forcing him into a hug.

'Alright, i obviously overestimated her intelligence, and it seems Minato already got the hint' thinks Aka looking at Minato from the corner of his eyes while being crushed by Kushina's two giants, just how are they this big when she's still a teenager?

'hm? red hair? now that i think about it isn't that very rare? could he be an Uzumaki? considering that he's an orphan, there's a very high chance that he's one, should i confront him about it? no, i don't think it is the best for him, even if he really is one' contemplates Minato.

'kushina would be extremely happy to find a relative, i have noticed her longing for family many times, but once again, it would probably do him more bad than good so i'll let it be.' concluded Minato.

"well, nee-san, can you please let me go so i can eat my ramen?" says Aka to Kushina as teuchi serves him his best ramen.

"uh? o-ok, you can eat, and can call me Kushina-nee, and this is Minato, my..friend" says kushina hesitant on letting him go.

"oh? is he your boyfriend?" asks Aka 'innocently'.

As a result Kushina blushes and Minato coughs, "*cough*cough*, i think we should get going, we still got missions to do, right Kushina?" says Minato.

"uh? y-yeah, yeah we got missions to do" answers Kushina still in a daze.

"see you then, kushina-nee and Minato-nii" says Aka while eating his ramen.

they then went out of ichiraku in an awkward atmosphere.

and Aka went back to the orphanage after finishing his meal, which deserved the name 'Gods food'.

{ THE NEXT DAY }

Aka woke up at 5:00 AM, which is quite early for a child his age, not really since he is a adult in a child's body.

He got up, made his bed and took a shower, alone since the others are still sleeping, otherwise he would have to take one with a dozen wild children that got unlimited energy.

after finishing, he walked up to the caretaker and greeted her before walking out to the orphanage.

his destination was the forest at the back of the orphanage, Konoha has a lot of forests, which isn't surprising since it is named the village hidden in the leaves.

and this one isn't used a lot by ninja because it is situated in the outskirts of the village, and that makes it perfect for his light training.

after diving deep into the forest and making sure that no one is observing or monitoring him, he sits down and starts thinking about and considering his future plans:

1.in the next 3 years, he won't attempt learning anything ninjutsu related, maybe some theory stuff, but he will focus on toning his reflexes and instincts, as well as strengthening certain parts of his body.

2.in the first year of the academy, he will try to absorb all the knowledge they give him, and try to figure out the inner workings of chakra, is it physical energy produced by the body in form of proteins? or is it psychological energy which is related to the mind and soul?

3.in the second year he will attempt to create theoretical jutsus based on what he figures out about chakra in his first year, and study fuinjutsu from the scroll.

4.in the third year he will start training his original jutsus and try to recreate the jutsus he knows from the show.

5.in the fourth and last year he will start his fuinjutsu training as well as graduate with under average scores to not attract any unwanted attention.
