Chapter 3:

Dad and brother stayed with us for 2 days and he didn't teach me anything at all, he was talking something to Aunt for the whole time, 2 days! I have no idea what they were talking about. I got curious so I tried to sneak past into their conversation but was kicked out by my Aunt and Dad. Well after 2 days I knew what was that all about, Looks like my asshole Dad is finally serious to pass down our family's technique and for that, I have to move in with him. and my Aunt was not willing to let me go.They finally came to me to break this down to me.

Dad: "Dan, Since you have turned 5 years old, it is about time to pass you our Yamanaka techniques as per the tradition, so you will be moving with me to our clan compound, go and pack your stuff we will be leaving tomorrow morning"

"Ok" Saying this, I looked at my aunt and cousin sadly and left to my room. Hearing this news from him, I can't help but feel sad about leaving them. I love my Aunt and Rukia like my family and feel more alive when with them, they treated me well as their blood, far more than my Dad and brother ever has shown.

My Aunt and Rukia came to my room and helped me pack my stuff, during these moments we were silent and finally after several minutes Auntie hugged me and said"Dan-kun, I am sorry, This is for your good, this world is cruel, to survive you must become strong and unfortunately I don't have any means to help you, staying with me won't help you becoming any stronger and I will be dragging you down, We always love you"

I hugged her back and cried for the first time in a long time."Auntie, Rukia nee-chan, I will get strong and protect you, Don't worry about me"And my cousin joined us crying with her brutal hug which I enjoyed for the first time."I will visit you frequently because you and Rukia are my family""And also I will be sending letters weekly, I hope you do the same""Of course you idiot, if we don't get any reply we will whack your ass", Well I know if it is my cousin she might do it with her one-track mind.

We started our journey next morning bidding farewell to Aunt and Rukia.

"Dan-kun, I will be going ahead now, see you later at home," said my brother.

"Nee-san, Aren't you coming with us?" I cried inwardly "Don't leave me alone with this robot""Sorry, I need to take care of some business and by the way, you will be training so you won't be bored along the way"

"You.." before I can finish he just disappear, Was that a shunshin! Damn, I need to learn that cool move. I looked expectedly at Dad but he just ignored me.

After some time my training officially started. It would take 10 days to reach the clan if we go by walk so we need to speed up, so my first lesson was Naruto style running!, As a person from 21th Century this style doesn't make any sense at all, running while leaning forward and stretching arm behind looks cool but not able to increase my speed though it looks cool.

Dad: "Dan, pump your chakra to your legs while running"

Hearing this, I pumped my chakra to my legs and my speed increased and now the posture makes sense. Running is like gliding now, the arm stretched back will help us to maintain balance, and leaning forward helps us to reduce the air drag and my speed increased by 3 times!.

I cried inwardly "Shit, how could I forget this such a simple thing, I didn't exercise properly using chakra at all these times, I need a lot to learn".

After some time I got used to this style. "I did it" Looking at dad I said proudly.

"Ok" I blinked at him for a couple of seconds expecting to talk and all I got was silence and he started running again.

"Ok" that's all you got to say after my awesome performance, I followed him while cursing him, how dare he. since I got nothing else I tried applying differently while instead of pumping chakra continuously I tried doing it in a pulse on each stride, well that worked surprisingly well, with this I would be able to train my chakra control on the run and I was able to get a perfect hang of the interval.

Dad took notice of my improvement and said "Looks okay now, try running on trees using the same"

"Can't you explain this properly before" cursing inwardly I hopped on trees and tried running, It demands much more control since I am hopping between branches I need to pump a precise amount of chakra, Luckily with my incredible control I was able to get hang of it with no time. After 3 hours of running, I got tired, we stopped for rest Since I got nothing to do I shoot out a question about the clan.

Dad: "Yamanaka clan is also known as mind walkers, we can control others mind and body with our exclusive technique and also we are good at healing and sensing arts as well for example my sister and Rukia"

Shit, I didn't know Auntie is his sister, well come to think of it I don't even know dad's name, great I don't even know my brother's name at all. Well, this is awkward, shall I ask his name and my brothers! Here we go,

"Dad, I am just wondering, what's brother's name?" I asked awkwardly.

"Remember, Your brother's name is Jun Yamanaka" and seeing my expression looks like he figured it out, he continued "My name is Inomichi Yamanaka and my sister is Riya Yamanaka".

Alright, at least he made things easier for me, I might be the only person in the world who forgot to ask other's name.

"What about my mom?"He looked at me for a couple of seconds and said "Ashina Uzumaki"I was stunned, well I am a half Uzumaki that explains my huge reserves and dense chakra,

"Can you tell me more about mom?"

All I got was a blank stare, since there is no reply I shoot out another question. "Why are Auntie and Rukia staying in that small village instead of staying in Yamanaka clan", Well again all I received was silence, come on at least say something. Oh, my poor brother how did he spend his time with him for years.

"For now this is all you need to know, We will have this talk sometime later"

Alrighty, at least I had a reply that's a good sign, I had a quick snack and went to meditation to replenish my Chakra.

We resumed our journey after I recovered and only stopped for rest, we continued this routine for 2 days, and finally, we have reached the village where the clan resides clan compound. In term of appearance the village is composed of several aesthetically pleasing single-storied buildings and is surrounded by gigantic trees, you can say it is pretty much isolated from outside, that explains the absence of roads. Even though it is isolated the village is very much alive, the children were running across the streets, playing, some were even on top of the gigantic trees and there are even folks smiling gently at the children's antics as they passed by, the whole village looks very peaceful. I was expecting a fortress. No one would say this is a Ninja village.

Let's see how strong the villagers are, I started extending my chakra sense to perceive others chakra in a second, my old man whacked me in the head all of a sudden.I yelled, "what was that for?"

The reply was an everlasting blank stare for a couple of seconds "Its rude to use chakra sensing here".

"How did you know that I was sensing?" Well, that was a stupid question, I was flaring my chakra and was telling everyone I am sensing them, Luckily he beat me out it before the damage was done. Now I know why aunt forbade me in sensing while in the compound.

"We will talk about this tomorrow".

We finally reached home, when he said the clan compound I was expecting a palace, but to my disappointment, it is just an ordinary single storied house with 4 rooms.Looks like brother reached first and we were welcomed by him,"How was your journey, Dan-kun", he asked smirking at me, Looks like he knows how I will be suffering from Dad's company.

"It's alright", All I had was a one-sided conversation with Dad and most of the reply was silence, Now I am kind of glad that he dropped me at Auntie for all these years and feel pity for my brother for enduring this unbearable silence for all these years, I wonder how mom ended with him. I need to get some information about mom from my dear brother.Dad left us soon after he dropped me in the home and since I was tired I just went to my new room and went to sleep.

On next day, Dad briefed me about the Yamanaka clan and the politics, we have around 50 known members now, we used to have around 200 but because of these clan wars, our number reduced considerably and we are currently on a friendly relationship with Nara and Akimitchi term for many generations and talked about Ino-Aki-Nara trios formed on each generation and he finally took me to the clan meeting formally introduced me to everyone in the clan. Its a gathering of slim and aesthetic blondies. Since most of them were sensors they were surprised to see my huge reserves for my age. Looks like they are very interested in me especially ladies. As a Yamanaka 5-year-old boy, I look very cute and pleasing with my mature look in the eyes of those ladies. Well, thanks to my cousin's training I was able to endure their attacks calmly.

My brother was laughing at my misery, I am happy that the meeting ended early and he took me to introduce to some of his friends from other clans like Nara and Akimichi clans. Nara's and Akimitchi styles are similar as in Anime, Nara's are very lazy and Akimitchi's are always hungry. In the end, my loner habit kicked in and I sneaked away from him after some time. Looks like I have inherited by social awkwardness to this life as well or maybe I got this from dad, at least I am better than him I guess. I am sure there won't be any Ino-Shika-Aki trio with me in this generation. Good god, no friends in this life as well!!

Should I try summoning??, keeping pets will keep me company, I don't have to talk with them anyway, I need to make a note of it and ask dad about this when chance upon.

And finally training time, My dad took me to our clan's training ground. It is as large as a football ground and a lake next to it.

"Dan, from tomorrow onwards assemble here in the morning at 7:00 AM for the morning exercises and in the evening we will be working on Yamananka techniques in our clan compounds" saying this he suddenly took me shunshed in front of a building.

M.y head was spinning, I couldn't handle the sudden change in the speed all of a sudden, All I felt was an increased gravity for a couple of seconds and boom, I was in front of a building. I looked at him madly, but as usual, he ignored me with his blank eyes"This is our clan library, I will authorize your access to the first level tomorrow"Saying that he just shunshuied away. Since I got nothing to do I went back home. Since all the knowledge was in front of me I need to rethink my plans what all need to learn with priority. I am sure to survive in this cruel world Yamanaka clan techniques are not enough. I created a list of things I need to work on immediately

Sealing: Since I am a half Uzumaki, how can I say no to sealing arts, It looked cool in the anime.Chakra theory and hand seals, Manipulation & Nature transformation. I am pretty sure they won't teach me any jutsus.Medicine & body anatomy, I Just want to know how different the body in this world with my previous world. Yamanaka clan techniques, I am forced to learn it anyways.

Well with just this my schedule is more than full, I will think about more on this tomorrow after getting the library access, no hurries.
