[Time skip: one year]
[AIKO'S POV]
I am now one year and six months old.
I haven't done anything eye catching…which wasn't a good idea.
I still didn't even say my first words. I can talk but I just thought it was too early so I pretended I couldn't , which was a very bad decision.
My parents started getting worried about me, especially when they asked Yoshino about when Shikamaru spoke for the first time she said when he was 12 months old (one year).
I know they'll love me nevertheless but still, I feel bad..so today, I have decided to surprise them.
My parents were in the kitchen. My father was cooking dinner, he was really skilled. My mother was trying to help him but… she only ended up burning the food, accidentally using sugar instead of salt and a lot more, basically she made a mess.
Luckily my father knew she'd do that _even though he told her not to help but she insisted_ and he already made preparations for another meal.
Whilst they were busy with the cooking, I wobbled _I still can't run perfectly, it's better to go slowly. Better safe than sorry_ into the kitchen and I sat at the entrance.
I took a deep breath…
"mama, papa!" I said, showing the best smile I could ever make.
They both turned around towards me, I could see the surprise in their eyes. Soon enough their look turned into an extremely happy and relieved one.
They hurried towards me and father lifted me up then threw me into the air and caught me again.
He was so happy and so was mom, she even cried from happiness.
"her first words.she said her first words!" My father exclaimed, happily.
"yes dear..she finally did.."
she replied with a whisper, resting her head on his shoulder looking at me as I was in father's arms.
Father kissed mom's forehead then kissed mine, hugging me.
We stayed like that for a while, it's not like I mind but… they completely forgot about the food on fire..
It ended up getting burned.
[FOUR YEARS LATER]
It's been four years since I reincarnated in the Naruto world.
I am now four years old. I've been training on my chakra control and sensory skills. Now I can sense chakra from about 500 metres away from me .
Nothing really important happened throughout those years , other than being the playmate of Shikamaru I didn't leave the house that much .
I spent most of my time reading the books and scrolls of father and mother, secretly of course. As I said before, I don't want to be labelled as a prodigy. Not that i'm worried about the reaction of my parents, I know that they love me, they want me to choose and pursue my own path in the future , if they find out that I've advanced more than any normal kid my age they probably won't hesitate to put me on the ninja course which i really want to avoid .
I read through the history of konoha and the elemental countries , as well as some scrolls about chakra and iryo ninjutsu i read the basics about it and I have memorised the theories. it really requires an advanced control of chakra which i’m still working on. I’m not practising it yet because i don’t have the materials and all.
I thought to use it on myself but then again i don’t want my mom barging in to find me bleeding .
So usually when I feel my mother's or father’ s chakra near my room I hide it under the various children's books that mom bought for me.
At first I was worried that they might notice the missing books and scrolls but after a few days I confirmed that they didn't.
It's probably because they are not that important since they were basics and because we had a lot of them so it wasn't noticeable as long as I took a small amount and put them back in place after I finished and got new ones.
Another thing that I have noticed about me is that I oddly looked so much like Katara from the Avatar series, which gave me a wild and unique idea i wonder if i can use water bending that will be quitely impossible since we in the naruto universe not the avatar ones , but anyway this gave me ideas on jutsu for the future
I started thinking about theories and principles I can use to be able to use the same powers as her.
Unfortunately, I still didn't make any progress.
I'm starting to think it won't work but hey, I should keep trying until I'm satisfied and until I have finished all the theories possible.
And another important task I should start learning about is fuinjutsu since it’s the hardest one and it needs a lot of time to master. it is better to start early, my parents don't have scrolls or books on it. so i will put my hope in finding it in the public library of Konoha , iwill try to convince them to bring me there .
[AUTHOR'S POV]
" Aiko-chan, hurry up papa is waiting for you " Tomoko's voice echoed through the house as Aiko stepped out of her bedroom with her hair still in a messy braid. She walked towards the living room , where her father was waiting for her.
yesterday he promised to bring her to the local library. She's been excited ever since, after all, she finished all the books and scrolls in her house and she wants to start learning
Funijitsu.
She took his hand and walked alongside him.
When the two went outside on their way to the library located in the center of the village. she couldn't help but look in awe at her surroundings. It's like she is in the Edo era yet not all the shops and stalls are made from wood and stone, all with a few different designs on them, kids running around playing with their ball and civilians chatting with each.
she even saw ninja and some genin teams jumping from roof to roof doing their missions, It was lively.
She couldn't help but smile when an old woman walked by with a basket full of flowers in hand and waving at her ,she returned the gesture too with a smile , she also spotted the infamous mountain where the face of previous ‘s hokages were craved clearly stating where she was .
When they finally arrived at the entrance of the library, she looked so surprised and excited.her eyes almost falling off from how much she was admiring and staring at the Library which was huge. Entering the building , It was very beautiful inside , tall with multiple towers and columns all holding books on shelves that were stacked as high as her eye can see.
There are a lot of books and scrolls ,’ i can’t wait to read them ‘ the 4 years old girl thought. She loved reading books in her past life , you can say she spent most of her time there , even her friends called her a book nerd .
“This is amazing!” The girl squealed in her excitement. “Thank you for taking me here!” She said with a big smile on her face.
Her father smiled back at her and patted her head gently.
When she finally realised her excitement and outburst, she blushed in embarrassment.
'I should have held myself back, this is embarrassing!' she scolded herself mentally.
Then her father led her to the kid section but her eyes were on the adult one she was disappointed, dramatic fake tears fell from her eyes .
What she wanted to read wasn't some children's ninja stories or fairy tales. She wanted to check out Scrolls about techniques and theories about Fuinjitsu but she couldn't tell him about that since she was just a «Normal» child and wanted to lay low.
Her only solution is to pretend to stay in the kid's place until her father is gone and then she will sneak to the adults.
If he ever leaves her alone, that is.
She sighed mentally.
'this is going to be bothersome...'
