Prodigy.

Chapter 17: CH 17



Hiruzen looked it over and narrowed his eyes as he looked it over checking for any little mistakes. Then a couple of seconds later he smiled.

"This is very good for a first try Naruto-kun," he said placing the paper back down on the table making Naruto smile at the praise. "Though next time try and make the bottom right leg of the kanji a little longer since the one on this is a little short."

Naruto nodded seriously before he attempted it again.

The two worked on calligraphy for a few hours as Hiruzen taught Naruto to draw all the element symbols as well had him write sentences as quickly as he could whilst trying to keep the writing and symbols as neat and elegant looking as possible.

Hiruzen had to admit that Naruto was doing very well for his first real go at calligraphy. The first time he drew a new symbol there was only small things that needed to be tweaking. From then on all of them looked very professional looking and Hiruzen could not spot a flaw in them.

"The Uzumaki blood runs strong in you Naruto-kun," he thought as he went on to show him the symbol for Iron.

"The little guy is doing well." Tsunade said to Shizune as they quietly spoke and watched Naruto work with Hiruzen and found it very cute s how determined he looked.

"You know Naru-chan has been asking me a lot of questions about medic-nins lately." she said making Tsunade's eyebrows rise up in surprise. "Really? I did not think medic-nins were something little Naru-chan would be interested in." Tsunade said honestly since not many children really knew about medic-nins.

"You would be surprise. He is very curious about all the different types of shinobi there are and is always asks me about the things I do as a medic-nin."

"So you think he could be a medic-nin one day?"

"Hmm, no I don't think Naruto would be a medic-nin; however, I do think he would be interested to learn some medical ninjutsu."

"You think he could?" Tsunade asked since she was not fully aware of what Naruto could do or what he was good at since she was busy a lot of the time at the hospital.

"He is very smart for his age and he always asks question which is a good thing. Plus for the amount of chakra he has for his age and having pretty good control over it which he demonstrated earlier, I think Naruto learning some medical-ninjutsu could be possible for him and be a big help to him."

Tsunade tapped her fingers against her chin as she thought it over. She did enjoy showing people how great medical-ninjutsu was since it was an art that many took for granted. It was medical-ninjutsu that helped her create her creation rebirth technique and to discover the super human strength she was known for.

And I would like to teach Naru-chan. Since Kushina and Minato are his parents he will without a doubt go on to do great things and if I could help prepare for the life of a shinobi like Shizune already is, it would give Naru-chan a great start.

"I will think it over. Perhaps teaching Naru-chan a little medical-ninjutsu would not be a bad thing." she said with Shizune smiling.

Later On At Uzumaki-Namikaze Home Naruto sat on the floor in the living room as he sat in front of the coffee table. A little time after his working on calligraphy with his jiji, Sarutobi had taken Naruto out and got him a little calligraphy set of his own so that he could practice at home.

Since Sarutobi told him to make sure he could draw the kanji on the paper as if it was second nature and at a quick speed, that was what he decided to do with the rest of his time for the day.

"Na-Na," he heard from beside him and smiled when he noticed Mito was crawling towards him. She and Eiji had spoken their first word a few days after hers and Eiji's first birthday which happened to be Tou-san. It of course made Minato extremely happy since Naruto first word was Kaa-chan.

"Hi Mito-chan," he said as his little sister continued towards him before rolling around beside him. "Did you have a nice dinner?" he asked since he saw little bit of mushy carrots and beans on her face. Picking up a napkin he put his baby sister in his lap and wiped off the mess from her face which made her flay her arms around, indicating she did not like it.

When he was done he saw she was staring at what he was doing on the coffee table and was pointing towards one of the brushes he was using.

"You want a go?" He said down at Mito who just gave a delighted squeals as a response just as Minato walked in with Eiji in his arms and Kushina following behind.

"So that's where you went Mito-chan; went to see what your big brother was doing." Minato said as he saw his daughter on his eldest's lap and he put a brush in her right hand.
