Ch 14: Minato a sensor ninja

The group that was previously unlocking their chakra was now doing the chakra control exercise with the teacher.

-All right guys, I will explain to you what to do next.

After saying this, the teacher raised one of her hands and plucked a leaf from the tree that was in the training field.

-We will use this leaf for the explanation.

After this the chunin took the leaf to his forehead, and left it there, after a few seconds the chunin spoke again.

-As you can see, the blade sticks to my forehead through the use of chakra, if you put too little the blade will not stick, however, if you use too much chakra....

After saying this the chunin put more chakra on the blade, it suddenly began to tremble, before breaking into pieces.

The children watched this in awe, after all, more than half of them had never used chakra before.

-All right, now it's your turn to try, don't rush, after all it will be hard at first.

After listening to their teacher, the children began to take leaves and put them on their heads, as the teacher had told them, almost none of them managed to keep the leaf on their foreheads for more than two seconds.

Yasuke now looking at the leaf on the ground shook his head.

-It looks like this is not going to be so easy, besides, using chakra still makes me feel strange.

Yasuke picked up the blade again and put it on his head, closed his eyes, and started to think about the energy he felt before.

He tried to control it slowly, bringing it to his forehead, and try to make it stick to the blade, however, he did not succeed, it was as if the chakra did not understand what he had to do, he just went where he commanded it, but without doing anything more than staying still.

The leaf fell again.

Again he tried again, he tried to bring more chakra this time, however it seemed that he had overdone it, because after a little crunching the blade fragmented into several pieces and broke.

-Damn!" said Yasuke irritated.

Looking around he saw that some were just like him, which made him smile, however the smile froze when he saw a clump of yellow hair, surrounded by several other kids, as he got closer he saw that his blond friend was keeping the leaf on his head, although it wasn't perfect, as sometimes it fluctuated and looked like it was going to fall off, it was good enough, at least better than him.

Suddenly a mischievous idea went through Yasuke's head.

-All right, looks like it's my turn to get revenge for all those sleepless nights listening to him ranting about his ninja stories.

And with that said he silently approached towards his innocent victim.

Minato at this moment was concentrating on keeping the sheet on his forehead, although strangely he felt that someone was approaching him, he thought it was the teacher, checking the exercise, however suddenly he felt a wet object enter one of his ears, which made him scream and lose his concentration.

-Aaaah, what was that? How gross!

The teacher who was passing by gave him a look and spoke loudly.

- Stay focused, and if possible don't interrupt the concentration of others - And after that she looked away from the blond.

- I'm sorry - whispered the light blue eyes.

Minato, who now had a reddish color in his face, looked around to find the culprit, but it was not until he saw Nonoe pointing to one end of the field that he understood.

At one end of the field a boy was leaning against the wall of the training field, his back to the other boys, he was visibly trembling and covering his mouth.

-Ha...mp...ha...mp.... Shit I can't hold my laughter," said Yasuke unable to cover his mouth completely.

- Ahem... What are you supposed to be doing?

Suddenly a voice he recognized came from behind his back, turning around, he faced blue eyes looking directly at him, this made him tense up.

-Oh, Minato, what's wrong, do you need my help or something?

-No, don't worry, I just want to ask you if you knew about something.

-Of course, ask, we're friends for a reason, aren't we?

-Yeah, so, my question, did you see anything strange around me when I was trying to perform the chakra control exercise?

-Mmm, I don't think there was anything strange.

- Are you sure? - Minato asked suspiciously.

-Yes, sure pf...hahahaha sorry I can't hold it anymore.

- You, you'll be...

Minato's annoyed face only made Yasuke laugh harder and harder.

-I'll get revenge, I swear - And after saying this Minato left still complaining about how because of Yasuke he lost his concentration.

After that Yasuke started again to try to stick the leaf on his forehead and although he didn't manage to keep it for more than five seconds, he managed to do better than the previous time.

The class continued, and when it was over, Yasuke could proudly say that he kept the leaf stuck on his forehead for more than 30 seconds.

After some theory and history classes, the school schedule ended.

Minato, Nonoe and Yasuke were getting ready to leave for the orphanage, when they met their friends.

- Hey, guys, today we are going to train again, in the same place as always - said the Inuzuka.

- Okay, you also have to teach me that jutsu - replied Minato.

- How about you guys, are you coming too? -Yasuke asked Shikaku, Inoichi, and Choza.

The Nara made a shoulder movement implying that he didn't care.

Choza continued eating his bag of candy and looked at Inoichi.

- Mmm, I guess we'll go," replied the Yamanaka.

- Well, how about a picnic then? I'll cook something together with the orphanage caretakers - Nonoe proposed.

-I'll ask my parents for some food from the family restaurant," said the Akimichi.

-I guess I'll ask my mother to give me some juice from our clan's forest fruits.

- Perfect, then we will not see there.

And so they all said goodbye with the promise to meet later at the secret camp, where they trained.

Some time later at the orphanage of Konohagakure No Sato.

- Yasukeeee! - A somewhat childish scream pierced through the silent dormitory.

- Mmm, don't shout, can't you see I'm busy?

- Busy? - asked the female voice.

- Ags, during the chakra exercises we had today I realized that chakra is amazing, it seems easy to shape and control, but yet it's not that easy.

- Mmm, and then... - Nonoe tried to get more information.

-Well, I don't know, I just felt that there are many ways to use it.

-Mmm I see," said Nonoe with one of his hands on his chin and nodding as if he understood, "I don't understand what you mean.

Yasuke's eyes rolled.

-Well, leaving that aside, where is the Hokages fan boy? - Yasuke asked for his other friend.

-It looks like he's training in the playground, from what he told me he's trying to glue two sheets at once.

- Two blades? So soon? I knew he had talent, but it seems even I underestimated him," said the red-haired man in amazement.

- Oh it looks like you're envious, I'm sure if you trained like him, you'd make it too.

- Eh, why, we still have time, there's still a long time until our graduation - Yasuke answered while he turned his attention back to the book.

- Well, it's not like you're wrong, remember that we'll be leaving in a while, the food is almost ready, I'll ask Minato and you to bring it, after all you have more strength than me.

-Oh, okay, then I'll go call him -And after that Yasuke got up.

____________

Orphanage courtyard.

Yasuke looked at a blond who kept his eyes closed and two blades on his forehead, sometimes he seemed to move a little, but soon they were still again.

Yasuke wanted to repeat what he did at the ninja school, however when he got within five meters of where Minato was, Minato's eyes widened.

Two pairs of eyes looked at each other, gray eyes and deep blue eyes, they looked at each other for a while before the owner of the leopard hat spoke.

- Oh Minato, you woke up already.

- I wasn't sleeping, I was coming in - Minato complained.

- Oh, I didn't know, sorry.

- Why were you sneaking up on me? You weren't going to do that again, were you?

- I don't know what you're talking about, I just came to see what you were doing.

- Yasuke, I felt your intentions - The blond answered.

- You felt?

- Eh, yes, I don't know how to describe it, it was as if something was telling me that you were close to me, and that you didn't have good intentions.

-Mmm, you seem to be something like a sensor ninja - Yasuke was waiting for Minato to get distracted by this.

- Sensor ninja? - Minato asked.

- Yeah I read it in a book, from what I read they are extremely rare, they can sense others in a range and even their intentions.

- Oh, that's good isn't it?

- Ags if you read more you would know that it is very good, look for you to understand, the second Hokage was also a sensor ninja which helped him in his battles.

- The second Hokage was a sensor? So I can be as strong as him?

-Mmm well no, after all he wasn't strong just because he was a sensor type, although it certainly helped him to be stronger than others, besides, how well can you sense your surroundings?

-Well, I can sense if someone is near me, but I can't locate them exactly.

-See, the second Hokage could.

This statement made the excited Minato depressed.

Yasuke who saw this bit his tongue, and tried to explain.

- Relax, it's not like you can get better you just have to train for it, after all, Tobirama Senju also had to train to get to the level he got to.

Hearing this Minato's eyes lit up, and he asked Yasuke.

-Then, will you help me develop it?

Yasuke knew that if he refused he would have Minato pestering him for help, so he thought to get something out of it too.

-Ags okay, I'll help you, however you'll also help me with something.

- Mmm, fair enough, deal.

And with that the two of them high-fived each other.

Meanwhile Nonoe who was waiting at the door of the orphanage next to two boxes wrapped in cloth, looked at the sky and complained.

-I told her to call Minato, not to go and entertain him, we are already late, ags.
