Ch#2 young Meiko 

"Father, why am I bothering with this tedious tree climbing using chakra? I'm certain I can manage without it. I'll never master this," an 8-year-old girl with stunning red hair, who's oblivious to her own beauty, argued. This girl is Meiko.

"Oh, come now. It's not as complicated as you think. Just concentrate on your chakra. Are you going to give up? That's not like you," Tatsuya encouraged his daughter.

He diligently trained with Meiko every day in a secluded forest, striving to remain unnoticed.

Suddenly, two Kumo Gakure ninja passed by. One of them, a sensor named Soya, detected someone nearby and signaled his partner. "I sense two individuals. One of them possesses chakra nearly on par with a tailed beast, and another distinct type of chakra within their body. The other has about half their chakra."

"What in the world? Are you serious? Chakra comparable to a tailed beast and a jinchuriki?" Asahi exclaimed. He added, "Considering there are no jinchuriki reported in the Land of Flowers, should we inform Lord Raikage?"

"Let's find out who they are first."

As they moved forward, Daisuke suddenly whispered to Soya, "Conceal your chakra. We're being detected."

During Meiko's training:

Tatsuya had a keen sensing ability, though his chakra detection range was limited, perhaps around 4.5 km, whereas the other party had a range of 5 km. As the other party entered Tatsuya's range, he immediately sensed them, but they promptly masked their chakra, eluding his detection.

"Did something happen, Father, or are you just teasing me?" Meiko inquired.

"No, nothing at all. Keep going," Tatsuya reassured her.

As Soya and Asahi approached closer, they stealthily observed the other party training.

"Wow, that vibrant red hair," Asahi remarked.

"I suspect they're from the Uzumaki clan. Let's inform Lord Raikage," Soya suggested.

"Agreed," Asahi nodded.
