4 Training and Academy

The training with Tsunade was really... boring. We, well mostly I, did nothing but reading books about anatomy or diseases and how to cure them.

While reading, I saw that there aren't any big differences except the chakra pathways that are just like roads that go through your body.

There was even a book that just talked about chakra pathways which I read. I have to say that reading new things is a pretty fun thing to do.

We did no practical training until after my 4th birthday, She just sends me to run laps and do power training. Well, I didn't really anticipate something else from one of the strongest kunoichis.

I now know mostly everything about the human body, probably even more than Tsunade as the Ninja World never really went in-depth.

Tsunade was often not there so she just has me do some things that would help my training.

Today, Tsunade should have come back from the mission. I hope she can teach me any Jutsu.

My chakra is now at the peak of a Genin because of my physical training which is still killing me. She just doubles the exercises when she sees me doing them with less effort than before.

Not that I complain, I like that I don't have to disguise my training as playing around anymore.

"Oy, Izumi. Did you finish your morning exercise? If I find out, that you didn't do it, I will triple it. Every Exercise."

Sweat dripped on my already sweaty face. This Devil! I never thought of her as an intensive trainer. She just trained Sakura and Shizune in medical ninjutsu. Well, Sakura got a lot stronger later on, so maybe she did almost kill Sakura?

"Yes, sensei. I already did it. I also read all the books you gave me."

"Hoho, nothing less was awaited from MY genius disciple. That perverts little boy is still doing the basics."

'I am pretty sure she would have killed me if I was slower than Minato'

"So what do you want to learn? I would show you the Medical Palm Technique. It is a basic Jutsu that every Medical-nin should know to use."

I nodded at her to indicate that I want to learn it, as I mostly don't talk that much if it is not important

My face also showed most of the time an emotionless look, I assume that it is because of my passive defense which should block any harmful substance.

The technique wasn't too hard for me to learn, it was just a bit harder to master. I think I would need some weeks to completely master it.

But my chakra reserves were mostly blocking me right as this Jutsu really sucks a bit. In front of Tsunade, I can only show a chakra level of about peak academy students.

The Konoha Hospital would surely have some people that have mastered the technique, I think I will just steal it from them. No reason to learn it myself, if I can just use the time for better stuff like training my abilities or my body.

Orochimaru also seemed interested in me as he sometimes visited our training session. He even taught me a bit of Kenjutsu, but it was nothing special.

Team Hiruzen also knew about my Zanpakuto as I used it for my training. If I ever used another sword, my own Zanpakuto would fly down to cut me. Tsundere~

Minato also often trained with me as we were still in the training ground of the three students of the Hokage.

We never actually saw Hiruzen because he seems too busy. But that is better for me since I don't want to see that Manipulator. He will surely talk about the Will of Fire and bullshit like that.

The next morning I went to the main hospital of Konoha, Konoha Hospital. Really a creative name, I have to say.

I often visited them to learn a bit more practical, sometimes I can even use my knowledge to help the injured people.

Most of the workers already knew that I am Tsunade's student so they don't do it difficult and even seem to be a bit friendly. Well, if she were to be famous as Sannin already, I think everyone would start to kiss my ass.

The biggest haul that I got from here was blood from the Uchiha as well as the Hyuga and some other clansmen. I didn't really know how to store the vials and bandages that were filled with blood when my Zanpakuto told me he could store it in my landscape.

Apparently, he can transform Yang into Yin and reverse, so basically my mindscape became my inventory. I just had to touch the things I want to transport to my mindscape with the katana.

I saw a myriad of things about how I can abuse the shit out of this. (A/N: Do you guys have any idea how to abuse this? Nothing like changing Yin from Mind to strengthen body Yang)

Tsunade's Laboratory would be available for me but she won't let me alone in there so I have to wait for some time.

If I had Money, any of this wouldn't really matter that much. I think I have to think of a business idea. I could write some books since I have a decent knowledge of Anime and Manga, I would just rewrite them to fit a bit more. I could even develop technology, which would probably make me rich in seconds, but that would be too big of a breakthrough in the world (A/N: Any suggestions?)

That is a matter that I will think through a bit later.

First I have to steal Mystical Palm from someone.

---------------------------------------------------------

[Tsunade POV]

This little genius learned the Mystical Palm so fast, it wasn't even two or three days. Even I took about a week to learn it. He will surely create big waves when he grows up.

I never really thought he would be such a genius, everything I teach him, he learns in a matter of days. (A/N: Well, "learns")

Taking him as a student was just done on a whim. Just teaching him one or two things or even just the physical training would make him stop and play around with his friends again. Well, if he has friends with his little introvert personality.

Now, I genuinely want to see how far he can go. Maybe it isn't too bad to be the teacher of a prodigy.

---------------------------------------------------------

The years went by and then it was time for the academy entrance. (A/N: I made six years the entry age. Minato graduated with 10 when 8 was the entrance age, I think. The war also started when Minato was about 10, but I wanted them to do some missions, possibly in conjunction with the war)

"Izumi, get ready fast, you don't want to be late for your first day."

"Mom, don't worry, even if I leave late, I will arrive on time. I am pretty fast you know."

"Son, it is a matter of principles, not if you are fast or not."

"Yeah, yeah. Let's go!"

(Guys Question Time: Should I let Minato die? and Kushina? Both die or both live? one dies one lives? Actually, I wanted them both to die so our MC can steal all of their abilities. But I thought about it and thought I could steal Fuinjutsu from Mito as she should be more knowledgeable)

We arrived about 10 minutes later as we live near the school because of our shop.

At the entrance, I saw Minato waving towards me while I nodded back.

Going into the academy, we saw a huge crowd already waiting and what seemed to be a podium, probably for the Third Hokage.

After some minutes, the Hokage walked up and talked

"You are going to join the academy and become wonderful shinobis that will protect their village as well as their teammates. Our village was based on teamwork and peace. I hope that every one of you will carry the Will of Fire and ...."

He started with his manipulative speech that would burn the fire of YOUTH in a lot of children and well also Minato

Looking at him and seeing how his eyes twinkled with stars watching the man on the podium, was giving me the creeps.

I think I should have been late instead of hearing this shit. I looked around seeing some characters that would be important later on like Hiashi, Hizashi, Fugaku, and Mikoto. Hmmm, they should do with some of my experiments. Nothing deadly, but I would like to have the blood of them all, as they are successors of the patriarch.

(A/N: Actually all of them are older than Minato, but I changed it a bit so they will all be in a class. It was said that Fugaku and Minato were good friends so I will just build it in the school. And well for the experiments that the MC would do.)

If I could be in a team with them, that would be nice. The Yamanaka's were also on my list of research. Inoichi should be somewhere here too. I hope he already learned his clan techniques so I can steal them more easily.

They should be really compatible with my eyes, hopefully, I can combine them somehow.

After the talk ended, we went to our respective classrooms. Minato and I were in class 1-A with the clan kids because Jiraiya and Tsunade recommended us. How easy it is with the right connections.

When we entered with all the others, everyone quickly tried to find a good seat. Most of them looked at the seat in the corner next to the window. But what they saw was not a free seat, but me sitting there. Shikaku was especially down after seeing me there.

I used Body Flicker to take my seat. No one will be in the protagonist's seat except me!
