As Samuru lead Hinata and walked out of the academy, they didn't notice two figures standing on the roof of the academy watching them leave.
They were Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze
"So what do you think of the new students?" asked Hiruzen.
"It's still too early to tell but Samuru and Sasuke are the most notable" replied Minato.
"I agree, my nephew is amazing" said Hiruzen with a proud smile.
"Yes he is. He already understand charka control and how to use it to achieve high speed movement. If I am being honest, he doesn't need to go to the academy, he just needs real world fighting experiences"
"I agree with you Minato, but Akari would kill us for sending her 8 year old son out to complete missions"
"Yes she would, and my wife would probably team up with her" laughed Minato.
"And the Uchiha boy, do you think he will be a like his brother?"
"With Samuru to push him, yes he could be better than his brother" replied Minato.
Minato turned away from the now disappeared duo of Samuru and Hinata and turned to look Hiruzen in the eye, "Are the Uchiha still have talks about a coup d'état?"
"Yes, our spy says, they are still having talks and are even gathering resources from the black market for a full on war with the village and all the clans in it."
Minato sighed, "A civil war will end this village, why would they want something like that?"
"It gets worse, our spy said that in the last meeting, there were talks of hiring the mercenary group Akatsuki to boost their ranks"
"Yes that would be bad. We still don't know the full strength of the group. We estimate that they are at least Quasi-Kage class ninja"
After a short pause, Minato asked "Do we have any solutions to this upcoming crisis?"
"No, but Danzō Shimura says he has a solution that he will present at the next council meeting in a week's time"
"Danzō has an idea, I don't like the sound of that."
"Let's hear him out before passing judgement"
Minato sighed and disappeared in a puff of white smoke.
Hiruzen looked at the training ground were the new ninja class had just finished there duels, "I will protect their future no matter the cost"
He then turned and looked at the direction Samuru disappeared to and smiled, "I think Akari would like to know her son is skipping class on just the first day"
With a smile still on his face, he to disappeared in a puff of white smoke.
…..
…..
Samuru who had no idea Hiruzen was about to snitch on him to his mother, had a smile of his face as he stood in front of assign post that read Yakiniku Q.
He punished the door opened and enter.
"Welcome to Yakiniku Q, how many in your party?" asked a host.
"Party of two" replied Samuru.
They were lead to a nice booth were the seat across from each other.
"Keep the meat coming until I drop dead" he said to the waiter.
With the first round of meat on the grill cooking, Samuru turned his attention to a quiet Hinata.
"So why did you choose to come with me?" he asked her.
She looked at him with a determined look and said "I was hoping we could became friends"
"Is that all? Or is there more to it?" he said as he gave her a hard stare.
Hinata cracked and said, "Yes there is. I was hoping you would help me get stronger."
"Strength, hmm... what is your reason to become stronger…if I like your reason I can try and help you."
Hinata went quiet as she recalled something she then said, "I few months ago I was kidnapped. I was powerless to do anything and I don't want to feel like that ever again"
Samuru sighed, "What makes you think I am can help you get stronger?" he asked
"I used my Byakugan to watch your fight with Sasuke"
"Oh and what did you see?"
"I saw how you used Chakra in you palm attack to and disrupt the flow of chakra in Sasuke body, but he recovered faster than you thought"
"True, whoever is giving him training is a very clever person. They are training his body to recover from chakra inference without the need for rest or meditation"
"Yes but you used you high kick to deliver the same attack directly to his brain causing him to pass out instantly. It was amazing that you had a plan B when A failed" said Hinata
Samuru laughed, "You are a clever girl Hinata" he said.
She blushed at his remark, then asked "So will you help me?"
"I can only help you how to learn basic chakra control, the rest on my knowledge is there to advanced for you or isn't suited for a Hyūga"
With a smile on her face she said, "Thank you, if I can learn to control to chakra like you, the rest will work itself out"
Samuru was glad the little he could show her was all she need, "Okay let's eat and head to the lake, for your first lesson"
After eating what was about 2kg of grilled beef by himself while Hinata wonder how his delicate looking body could achieve such a fit, he paid and walked towards the lake.
"So what are we going to do at the lake?" asked Hinata.
"We are going to strip and play doctor of course" he replied with a serious face.
"WHATTT!!! Samuru we are still too young to do that and I already like someone else so…" said a red faced Hinata as her voice went down every word she spoke.
Samuru laughed, "Clam down, I was just joking, besides after see Kurenai Yuhi's naked body, I sure I am now in to older women."
"You what!!!" exclaimed Hinata
"Never mind that" he said as waved that subject away
He then said "So what are going we going do to at the lake you asked, I am going to show you the simplest way to learn charka control"
"What is that?" she asked
He looked at her a smile "Walking on water" he said.
A smile of awe appeared on her face, "You can walk on water?"
"Quick lets go and you showed me" she said as she pulled by him by the hand and dragged him away towards the lake.
….
A few meters from them was a woman with a crazed look in her eyes, "Skipping class on the first day… you are a brave my son" she said in a low voice as she stalked the duo from the shadows.
