Naruto: A Scientist's Way of World Domination!

[A/N: Sorry guys, couldn't get much time to write recently..... now that I have taken care of some stuff, I'll be able to upload more, I'm not going to make any promises about upload targets or schedule though. But.... if we reach a milestone like 100 power stones, 50k views, etc I will upload more chapters for a while after doing so.

By the way, I was reviewing the recent chapters and was quite disappointed, they were written in a hurry but still.... I wasn't satisfied by the quality so I will also be rewriting those sometime in the future. Anyways, I know it's a bit late but, Happy Diwali everyone!]

After the scare, Akane eventually concluded that it was simple chakra exhaustion due to expending a lot of chakra immediately after awakening it as Kagaku didn't have control over it, it's a fairly common phenomenon in people with low chakra pools.

This however, didn't mean that Kagaku had a small chakra pool by any means, as normally, the person who helped awaken the chakra by injecting some of their own controls their chakra inside of the person to prevent chakra leakage.

They can't do this instantly so, the people who have lower chakra pools faint before the ninja assisting them can stop the chakra leakage.

In the case of Kagaku however, he unlocked chakra on his own, as such there was no one to stop the chakra leakage he experienced, ultimately resulting in him exhausting a lot of chakra which his body want used to yet and thus caused him to faint.

As he had unlocked chakra just now, his chakra pathway wasn't used to channeling so much chakra at once and thus he hadn't depleted a lot of chakra unlike the case with trained ninjas who use all but the bare minimum needed to stay alive.

So, even though normally it would take a few weeks or even months for a ninja to recover from chakra exhaustion depending on the severity of the condition and the strength of the person, Kagaku should be up and about in a couple of days.

After assessing Kagaku's condition, Akane lowered him to a stretcher the caretakers had brought and ordered, "Keep him in the highest quality medical room. Axolotl, you will be responsible for watching over him, the rest of you, return to your posts."

"Hai!" The anbu named Axolotl responded in confirmation while two anbu picked up the stretcher and looked towards Akane for further orders.

"One of you, create a clone and henge it into Kagaku and clean up. Make sure everything is seamless. Now, disperse!" Akane issued her orders.

All anbu followed her commands without question and soon the room returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Akane wrote reports of what happened and sent it to Hiruzen and Danzo through anbu and root respectively.

Considering it was quite late, both were already asleep.... ofcourse it goes without saying, when they woke up the next day, their expressions were a sight to see.

The room eventually returned to tranquility and the rest of the night passed without incident, however, rumors were circulating among the anbu about an orphan genius who had awakened chakra on his own and had quite a lot of it.

Needless to say, the ones who weren't present during the said incident found it incredibly hard to believe and many outright refused to do so saying that it was more likely that all the anbu were in cahoots and were pranking everybody out of boredom rather than such an absurd thing happening.

They weren't entirely wrong, after all such an event was unprecedented and hadn't been accomplished by even the likes of Hashirama and Madara, who were in a league of their own, they were known and feared throughout the shinobi world as the God of Shinobi and the Ghost of the Uchiha respectively.

The anbu weren't the only ones shocked by this, when Danzo, Hiruzen and the elders woke up, they immediately called a meeting among themselves, such an extraordinary event happening was certainly important enough to do so.

When the news spread throughout the village, many civilians didn't really understand why all the ninjas and the higher-ups like the hokage and the elders were getting so worked up over it. One such civilian who had a ninja friend enquired the reason for this ruckus.

And after some small talk, they finally got to the real topic.

"Hey.... Keitsuki, do you know why some orphan kid awakening his chakra is a big deal? I mean I heard he is very young and all but we have geniuses like Minato Namikaze who even graduated at the ago of ten. So why is this so much better? They didn't create nearly this much ruckus that time." The civilian asked to his ninja friend.

The ninja confused for a second quickly realized that civilians likely don't understand the magnitude of the situation here and thus replied, "Bro, it is a huge deal, normally people can only unlock a relatively measly amount of chakra at 4 or 5 years old and that too with the help of someone else opening up their chakra pathways. The only real difference between normal people and geniuses at this time is that geniuses can unlock their chakra at a younger age and/or maybe have more chakra than the average.

This applies to everyone, not even Hashirama sama or Madara Uchiha could unlock their chakra by themselves, it's something that is considered impossible.

Whereas that kid..... Kagaku Heishi, he not only awakened his chakra on his own, he also did so at an absurdly young age of 2.5 and the chakra he released was very high and he didn't even go into a pseudo-coma signaling he has much more. Not to mention it is said that he had just woken up from a 1.5 year coma which just makes it even more impressive. I could go on and on about how insane this situation is dude.

We are probably witnessing the rise of someone on the same level as Hashirama sama and Madara Uchiha no.... most likely way stronger than that. If this kid is allowed to grow up..... he could single handedly make the entire Ninja World bow before him."

Flabbergasted, the civilian replied, "Really? Someone who is way stronger than even First Hokage sama!? I didn't realise we were witnessing such an extraordinary event!"

The ninja amused at his friend finally getting what was considered the most obvious thing in the ninja circle advised, "Well, look who finally gets it! Anyways dude, I recommend you try to garner favour with him as soon as possible, you will probably not be successful considering that every ninja clan and influential ninjas from civilian backgrounds will also try their best to do the same. After all, who wouldn't want to have someone who will become as remarkable as that be their benefactor."

"Of course I'll try to get on his good side, I'm not that much of an idiot, unlike you!" The civilian retorted.

And after a back and forth, they both went to their respective jobs, they were adults after all, they couldn't just laze around all day or spend it just talking.

----- In an unknown location -----

Four figures sat around a circular table in a dimly lit room. These were ofcourse Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage and the three elders, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado who were currently in an emergency meeting called surprisingly by both Hiruzen and Danzo simultaneously.

Koharu asked, "What is so pressing that both of you called an emergency meeting? Don't tell me... is it about the absurd rumors spreading in the village." While Homura nodded expressing his curiosity about the matter.

Danzo replied with an emotionless voice, " It's not just a rumor, in fact if anything, the rumors are understating the achievement of this Kagaku kid. The chakra was sensed even by us during the night despite being on practically the opposite side of the village."

Both Homura and Koharu's eyes widened, they were astonished..... such praise from Danzo! It's worth mentioning that Danzo is as stingy as Tobirama in terms of praise. To receive such compliments from Danzo was almost as unprecedented as someone awakening their chakra on their own, it had never happened!

Hiruzen spoke up, "Indeed, what Danzo said is true...." He smiled and added in a jovial tone, "Besides, I'm sure you two must have understood the gist of the situation after hearing Danzo complement someone so generously."

Hearing this, Danzo frowned slightly and in a vaguely defensive voice said, "I give credit where credit is due Hiruzen."

To an outsider, it would seem like Danzo wasn't affected much by these comments, however, considering it was Danzo who said this, it was akin to pouting and shouting in rebuttal like a little kid. Being close childhood friends of Danzo, the three smiled briefly remembering their younger days where Danzo was always gave the cold attitude to everyone but was actually a friendly person on the inside.

"Stop going off topic Hiruzen, we are here to discuss what to do with Kagaku. He is a never before seen genius. He could easily become the most powerful shinobi in the history of the shinobi world. Hand him to me and I will mold him into the perfect weapon for the village.

He will be even greater than Hashirama, he could unite the shinobi world under Konoha. Effectively also achieving world peace, isn't that what you and your student wanted Hiruzen? This is the best option Hiruzen, if you hand him to me, he will be able to achieve both our goals."

All three turned serious hearing this and everyone looked at Hiruzen to hear his answer.

"No, Danzo... Kagaku isn't suitable for the root, he is much like Hashirama sensei, he will be better off in the light rather than the darkness, besides to pressure the other villages, we need his strength to be in the limelight." Hiruzen replied resolutely.

"Yes but he needs to aquire that strength first and we need to keep him in the dark until he reaches such a level of strength. And for that, root is the best place." Danzo countered fiercely.

Then a back and forth between Hiruzen and Danzo ensued and in the end, they came to an agreement with the two other elders as mediators and witnesses.

Koharu finalizing the agreement said, "So, this is is the final agreement. Kagaku Heishi will henceforth be trained under both root and anbu, he can decide to continue in either of them exclusively at anytime. Meanwhile, he will be staying in a house in the ninja section of district 1. When he obtains enough strength, he will become a normal ninja to repel the other villages.

This agreement is henceforth an SSS Rank secret and shall not be disclosed to anyone outside of the training personel and Kagaku Heishi.

The rumors about Kagaku Heishi will be labelled as absurd and impossible, being a practical joke played by some bored anbu members to spark some excitement and to accomplish this, the anbu and/or root ninjas who were not present during the incident will be told the same and the ones present will be sworn to secrecy.

If the truth is revealed, it will be punishable by death. The ones already knowledgeableof the incident will be responsible for the completion of the task to convince everyone that this was merely a prank, this mission is a long term SS Rank mission with Chameleon as it's lead.

Does anyone have any objections?"

A unanimous "No" came from all other occupants of the room and with that, the matter was finally settled and everyone dispersed to their quaters, some with lingering thoughts.

Danzo and Hiruzen simultaneously thought, 'I need to make that kid blindly loyal to me or else... he will do so. It's better to convince him in his early years, I should personally visit him often.'

Over the next few days, the rumors died down as it was revealed that the 'truth' of the matter was that it was just some night shift anbu who were bored and decided to prank everyone for fun.

The reactions of the people who had believed it to be the second coming of Hashirama were disappointed and embarrassed by the comments of the people who had coincidentally believed that it was indeed a prank.

The other villages, with minor and major were already shaken by the prospect of such a kid emerging had calmed down after learning that it was just some silly prank.

However, some still had the lingering feeling of doubt in their minds that it could be true... although they were quickly discarded as the absurdity of the rumors was just too much.

Four days after the incident, Kagaku awoke up to an unfamiliar ceiling..... "No.... no, not possible right? I couldn't have died and reincarnated again could I?"

Though after looking around and seeing the now familiar anime people wearing animal masks, he realised the situation and sighed in relief "Well... at least we didn't get deported again...."

Then, suddenly, a voice from his right said, "Kagaku Heishi, your exceptional talent was noticed by the village and as a result, you shall henceforth live in the house alloted to you by the village and will be trained by two groups, the anbu and the root. You have three days of rehabilitation before your training will begin."

'Quite straightforward and blunt, no comforting or baby voice.... it seems that the village is taking me quite seriously.... but why? I haven't done much as of now, I only just unlocked my chakra and then passed out..... probably due to chakra exhaustion.

But there's no real reason why they are treating me as if I did something that not even Hashirama could accomplish...'
