Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Surprises and expectations
[A/N: Sorry guys, some stuff came up and I couldn't write nearly as much as I had hoped to. Important exams will start in a month and I won't be able to write much then either. But then again, I can be nearly 100% sure that at the very least, there will be a minimum of 1 chapter every week on average. I'll be able to write more once I get back though. And I was going to make you guys wait till Monday but..... I just can't so here is the chapter!]
[A/N: For those who think that Konoha is way too interested in Kagaku and is directing a lot of resources at him for no reason, The Second World War is coming up, to deal with this, even canonically Konoha directed a lot of it's resources towards the development of the genius of Konoha, Minato Namikaze. So, to discover a genius who is even better, undoubtedly Konoha would direct a lot of resources to him as well.]
"I would like to start tomorrow!" Kagaku said feigning excitement.
Akane chuckled and said, "Good, good... it seems you are quite exited, come here at 5 a.m. sharp tomorrow and don't be late, you will have to wake up yourself as well though you are provided with an alarm clock."
Kagaku replied in affirmation, "Yes of course Akane oba-chan! But.... can I get some reading material about what we are going to be doing, to read tonight?"
Akane though internally shocked replied calmly, "Reading material? Kagaku, do you know how to read?"
"Yes! Mom and dad taught it to me before they... were murdered."
'His talent surpasses what we had thought previously, if only he has the same talent for being a ninja, we will have another prodigy who an grow up to become a pillar of Konoha! Starting his training right now was indeed the right choice!' Akane thought and then said, "Of course! That's not a problem Kagaku! The caretakers taking you to your room will bring the scrolls with them."
"Really? Thanks Akane oba-chan! I'll study everything before coming here!" Kagaku thanked.
"Okay now, go play with the others while I set up everything, and remember, 5 a.m. sharp ok?"
"Of course! You don't have to worry about me being late!"
After saying this, Kagaku ran off in the direction of the other kids. Seeing this, Akane smiled and disappeared in a shunshin.

In a small office, in an undisclosed location sat both Hiruzen and Danzo discussing the upcoming 2nd Shinobi World War and the recent attempt of Kumo to abduct their jinchuriki. Suddenly, a knock came from the door.
"Come in." replied Hiruzen calmly knowing who it was by sensing their chakra signature.
Then, 'Akane' walked in and while kneeling said, "Hokage sama, Elder Danzo sama, I have the report on 'The Second Light' mission."
"Good, report." Danzo said coldly.
Akane looked up with astonishment clear in her eyes and said, "He is exceptional! Or rather, it would be an understatement to say so. I am thoroughly convinced that he could outshine even 'The Light in Darkness' given time to develop."
"Time huh... time is the thing we are lacking the most, tensions are high and the war could break out any minute now. How do you propose we allow him time to develop?" Hiruzen asked.
"He is not even 3 Hokage sama, however, I think he could be allowed to join the anbu after a couple of years of training. Due to his young age, we can't expect him to be able to fight on the front lines so soon, but if it's necessary..... he should be able to perform assassinations by the time the war starts picking up. I think we should divert even more resources towards him."
"Alright, for now see if he has a talent to become a ninja, then we can decide what actions need to be taken." Hiruzen replied.
"Yes sir!" After saying this, Akane disappeared once again into a shunshin.
After a few moments of silence, Danzo spoke up, "Hiruzen you took Minato and the jinchuriki, now, at least you have to give me this kid, he's perfect for the root."
"No, he's a kind hearted boy, I'll give you a couple more Abarame instead, they are more suitable anyways." Hiruzen replied in a stern voice.
"You will regret this Hiruzen!" Danzo spoke in an angered voice.
"I am the Hokage." Hiruzen calmly replied, after all, he had long gotten used to the antics of his old friend. 'That always shuts him up.' Hiruzen thought gleefully.
Hearing this, Danzo stood up angrily and walked out of the office.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Back in the orphanage, a caretaker guided Kagaku to his 'room', it was really just like a large hallway with 5 bunkbeds on each side. With a total of 20 kids in the room. Showing him his bed, which was the top of the bunkbed in the right corner furthest away from the entrance to the room, with a window beside it.
After showing him his bed, the caretaker gave him 3 books, some toy kunai and shuriken made of wood and a ninja figurine, he now had 2! And for now, he kept the books aside.
Then after chatting a bit with his bunkbed partners, he found out that his friends were in another room, though it was just a little ways away from his room.
After getting to know the kids around him, he also found that everyone was much older than him, the average was 10 years so, everyone treated him like a little brother.
They were of course very shocked that Kagaku was just 2.5 years old and yet was still so mature and intelligent.
Then, after a couple of minutes a caretaker came in the room and announced alright everybody! It's bedtime, lights out!
Hearing this, everyone shuffled to their respective beds and tucked themselves into their blankets. While a few asked Kagaku if he would be okay sleeping alone and that too in the top bunkbed.
Kagaku assured them that he was more than capable of it but in the end was forced to keep two pillows by his side to ensure that he doesn't fall of. Although that was much easier considering one side was a wall and the other was a wall with a window.
Then, in a bit, the lights went out and the room turned dark with only faint lights coming from outside the windows which were also promptly closed using blinds.
The only faint light that remained was the window next to Kagaku giving him a view of the training ground of the orphanage for the kids who were in the academy and this couldn't use training grounds without special permission.
'Hmm.....I think I should try it now... I will try to unlock my chakra right now!' Thinking this, Kagaku started remembering his own theories and the in universe information he had about chakra due to his previous life.
'Chakra is supposed to be the combination of Yin and Yang... isn't that similar to..... antimatter and matter? When they two meet, they annihilate each other perfectly and release massive amounts of energy, this would explain how people are able to put out massive attacks of energy.
Although.... the fact that there are some techniques like genjutsu and medical ninjutsu which use only one of the two, Yin Release and Yang Release respectively. This would disprove the antimatter and matter theory I suppose.
But if the theory was right then that would also mean that the durability of literally everything is just off the charts. To the point where you could consider a small rock to have the durability of a large building, we'll that's just an example I'll have to do the calculations to find the exact conversion
Although..... The insane durability could be explained by natural energy, it's said that everything that exists on the Earth of the Naruto world, has natural chakra running through it. Which can be absorbed by sages.
This means that the nature energy is not really..... you could say the stone. Energy and Mass are the manifestations of the same thing and nature energy isn't the thing it's in, it's in a free energy state.'
Kagaku sighed and thought, 'That's more than enough thinking for now I suppose, well..... here goes nothing I guess...'
Thinking this, Kagaku began 'looking inside himself' to find his chakra. But after a while.... he couldn't.... he couldn't find his chakra anywhere.
'The chakra you are supposed to find should be the one my body naturally creates. So.... if I instead try to create chakra from spiritual energy and physical energy myself..... that should also so the trick right?'
Then, Kagaku began to try and merge 'opposites' as that was what Yin and Yang were. Surprisingly it wasn't that hard considering he could feel something he could only describe as abyssal dark.... it was the Yin Release chakra.
'I see.... so thinking or doing any sort of mental tasks stimulates mental energy then thay should be applicable to physical energies well.....' Thinking this, Kagaku started doing exercises he could do on the bed without too much hassle like push ups, sit ups, etc.
Now, he when he looked inside himself, he found a brilliant white light! 'Finally! ..... Yang release chakra!'
After clearly seeing both of these in his mind, Kagaku tried to bring them together and make them combined into one thing.
But moving the entire thing felt like it was impossible, maybe that's good considering these energies are supposed to represent mental and physical capabilities.
To overcome this, Kagaku decided to tear off small equal chunks from both and then try to merge them. This time.....
A brilliant blue light engulfed his mind and in the real world, his body began glowing a bright blue hue. This happened due to his chakra leaking as he wasn't able to control it just yet. But, with the release of this chakra, the sensors sensed a chakra spike in one of the dorms and rushed there.
When the ninjas arrived, they were flabbergasted.... The 'genius kid' they had been notified of was..... glowing a blue hue..... this.... this is the signal of awakening chakra!
The same thoughts ran through everyone's minds, 'This kid..... no this absolute monster... no kid who's not even 3 could ever even imagine unlocking their chakra themselves! If thus kid is allowed to grow up..... he might just become the god of shinobi of this time.'
Some would say that this is over exaggerating the feat, the God of shinobi from just seeing the kid unlock chakra? That's absurd right? No.... no it's not. After all, even the most genius kids like Minato required major assistance unlocking their chakra and still could only do it by the time they were 4 or 5.
Even if someone unlocks their chakra on their own, it's due to them having studied chakra for years and having a deep understanding of chakra.
'This Kagaku Heishi..... his name is going to strike fear into the hearts of our enemies, if only the second world war could be delayed by a couple years..... we would certainly have another S - Rank ninja considering his talent!' Just as everyone was thinking this, the matron of the orphanage, Akane came into the room.
It had been an hour after lights were turned off so all the other kids were entering deep sleep and thus didn't get woken up by the light.
Akane walked into the room and asked, "What is going on he...re...." Akane's eyes widened as she saw Kagaku covered in a faint blue light. "This.... this isn't possible...."
Akane glanced towards the books she had given on the shelf and with one glance could discern that they hadn't even been opened yet.
"His talent..... it far surpasses anyone in the history of Konoha!" Akane muttered under her breath. ' 'The Second Light' truly outshines the 'Light in Darkness' by a long shot..... Konoha's enemies will die to his hands.... they will shake in fear just hearing his name!.... Kagaku Heishi!'
After calming everyone down, Akane decided that it would be better to let Kagaku sleep for now and ask questions later but just as she was about to ask him to go to sleep..... Kagaku collapsed onto his bed!
"Kagaku!" Everyone had now thought the future of Konoha to be in Kagaku's hands now saw that future collapse was shocked and rushed towards him.
Akane was the first to catch him and observed him carefully, trying to keep her calm..... 'If this kid dies then I'll be striping Konoha of a brilliant future! I cant let him die here!'
[A/N: Sorry if this chapter is of lower quality, I didn't have time to properly proof read it and this one is kind of rushed.]
