V.2 Chapter 2

At the Hokage's office,

"You are going to," Hiruzen said.

"I am not," Yukan replied.

Hiruzen and Yukan were having a peaceful argument on the topic of Yukan having a student.

"I am only 15 right now," Yukan said.

"Exactly, you are already 15, that is very old and you are pretty strong too."

"Then make me the Hokage," Yukan said, though he did not have any intentions to become one.

"No, you are still young."

Yukan hit his palm on his forehead and thought,' This old man's words change too fast.'

"It is Kakashi who I am asking you to teach," Hiruzen said as he put his hands on the table.

"I get it but, yeah, doesn't Sensei have anything to teach him?" Yukan asked as he crossed his arms.

"No, he does not have time. He is busy making him a brother most probably." Hiruzen said unconsciously.

Yukan heard it clearly but still asked," What?"

"I-I mean he is, uh, y-you know, bu-busy doing missions," Hiruzen said when he realized what he said.

"But, I saw him in the village today."

"Hey, just teach Kakashi or I will tell your mom that you broke her favourite flower pot," Hiruzen said as a smile appeared on his face.

Yukan was scared now. The only person he was scared of in the village was his mom.

He had indeed broken her flower pot a few days ago while playing with a ball. The remains of the flower pot were carefully disposed of by Yukan himself.

"How did you know?"

Hiruzen said nothing and unconsciously looked over to the glass ball that was kept on a cushion right beside him.

Yukan sighed. "I will teach Kakashi but don't use the same threat again or I will tell Lady Biwa that you watch 'that' using whatever method you watched what I did." He said as he exited the office.

Although Yukan knew how Hiruzen watched what he did, he still had to act like he knew nothing in front of Hiruzen.

As Yukan exited the office, Hiruzen shivered in fear imagining his wife holding a slipper in her hands and beating him.

Currently, it was noon. Yukan walked through the commercial street.

The sun was too hot for the street to be bustling with people like normal.

Seeing the street almost empty, Yukan was amazed.

He continued to walk and finally reached the strongest guy's shop.

Ichiraku Ramen.

Yukan walked into the shop and he saw the Sage of Six Bowls making ramen and on the seat, he saw Kushina.

She was eating ramen.

'More like devouring.' Yukan said in his mind since he did not dare to say it from his mouth.

"Hey Kushina, I am here," Yukan said and sat on the seat beside Kushina.

She saw Yukan and then looked at Teuchi and said," Old man, he will pay the bill for me."

Teuchi heard it and nodded.

He then looked at Yukan, who was also nodding and asked him," Are you sure you will be able to pay?"

He then pointed toward 7 empty bowls behind him.

Yukan then looked at Kushina with a surprised expression and said," Do you want me to get no pocket money from next month?"

Kushina just shrugged her shoulders and finished the eighth bowl of ramen.

"Treat it as a fee for teaching you Fuinjutsu," Kushina said and stood up.

"Yes ma'am." Yukan gave all his money to Teuchi.

Yukan and Kushina then left the shop under the hot sun.

After walking for a while, Kushina said," I guess we should train in the shade today."

When Yukan heard this, he laughed a little. He was used to this kind of sun so he had no problem but Kushina was not the same.

The two went to Yukan's house.

When the two entered the house together, Aayu had a misunderstanding.

'I did not think they would start dating so soon.' Aayu thought as she smiled while looking at the two.

Then, Yukan had to spend an hour clarifying that Kushina came to teach him fuinjutsu and that they were not dating.

Yukan's whole noon was spent learning Fuinjutsu from Kushina.

"Hah! I Learned a lot today." Yukan said.

Surprisingly, Yukan had a talent for Fuinjutsu. He had never expected himself to have talent in something other than the sword.

"Yup. You learn at a good pace." Kushina said.

Her stomach then grumbled and her face turned red at the same time.

"I am hungry too. Let's eat." Yukan said.

Later, at midnight, Yukan lay in the bed with his eyes open.

He felt some movement near his mother's room and went to the window.

When he looked through the window, he saw his mother sitting in the garden and looking at the sky at night.

'Is she alright? This has been happening for quite some days now.' Yukan wondered as he went back to his bed.

Aayu then glanced towards Yukan's window, stood up and started to walk in the direction of the woods.

In the morning, Yukan walked downstairs without changing his clothes and yawning.

When he saw his mother, he felt that something was weird with her.

"Mom, are you alright?" Yukan asked.

Aayu looked at Yukan with her eyes half-closed and said," Yup, always been."

'System, does my mother have any disease or injury?'

[Negative]
