《The Life of Kenshiro Senju》Chapter 5, Childhood 3, Busted
Advertisement
Three Month Later;
Did you know that being a baby is boring? I'll tell you, it is boring as fuck. I'm not even three-month-old and I am bored as fuck. I can't move very much, well I couldn't. At first, I could only move my stubby arms to one side or the other. I could also open and close my hand, but not by my own will, it was a reflex that activated whenever something touched my palm. And lastly, my legs could only kick out, nothing more.
So, I did just that, until I got tired and my Stamina run out. Then I had to wait for a few seconds and start again. My parents loved my activity. Praising me to heaven and gushing about my eagerness to
play and live. They were already planning a training plan for my Ninja career.
I liked the attention and did even more like the rise in my status. All the kicking, flailing and moving was increasing my strength, endurance and reflex. Not overly much, just a few points. It's not as if I could really train. Baby sit-ups are still impossible, my head is way too heavy for that.
But still, I did all the training my infantile body could handle and learned a few things. First, I don't need to sleep. My body does only need to rest until my Stamina is recharged and then I could continue.
I also didn't need to eat, what I first thought to be hunger was the instinct to suck on something pushed into my infant's mouth. I still can't really stop that instinct, but I never felt hunger or thirst. My Gamer's Body must be one of the old games, where there are no thirst, tiredness and sleep requirements. Awesome!
Tsunade, my baby sister, did need to sleep and eat. She was always sleeping, eating or screaming. Sometimes she was also giggling, she sounded cute and also looked completely adorable.
Yes, you heard me correctly, I did say look. I can finally see more than dark and bright. I still can't see as well as an adult, but close things are possible. Let me tell you, my mother is hot and my father looks fairly strong.
I can't really tell how tall they are, Mother is at least a head shorter than Dad but other than that I couldn't really measure them. Being smaller than everything does that to you.
Anyway, mom is a blond bombshell. She has brown eyes fairly large breasts, double D or small E and a petite figure. How she could carry twins is a mystery to me. She adores both me and Tsunade and was showering us in hugs and kisses. I liked them, I always liked hugs.
Dad wasn't a muscle man, but he did look fairly strong. Broad shoulders, strong arms and a fit body. He has brown hair and a sharp looking face. He also had a small goatee that both Tsunade and I really like to pull on. Mom finds it hilarious, he was amused.
But still, without being able to move and do something I had to resort to other activities. Manipulating my Chakra was one such thing. Whenever I was pushing it outwards, or into one of my body parts specifically, it would suck my Chakra bar dry quickly. So, I did not do that. Chakra exhaustion felts crappy, I once did try how it would feel to use my life as Chakra, worst hangover ever.
But trying to meditate to get it back faster gave me a pretty neat skill.
Meditation: LV 5 ( 43%) Active;

The user gathers himself and finds inner peace. Chakra and Stamina will be regenerated at an accelerated pace. This skill can't be used during combat.
Chakra regeneration per minute now uses (0,5 intelligence x 0,5 strength x 0,25): 950 to calculate the given amount.
What I did was moving it through my body, trying to make it faster, slow it down at some parts and so on. This doesn't use as much as placing it inside a single body part or outside of my body. It also was slowly increasing my endurance and intelligence. Seems like intelligence isn't only rising through studying.
I also was training my Chakra sensing, whenever I could I would try to sense for another person's Chakra. Tsunade's was tiny in comparison to our parents Chakra. And hers was also a lot less than mine.
Which brings me to my current situation, I was laying in my crib, Tsunade next to me, and two gigantic Chakra signatures were coming closer. Both were accompanied by our parents, so I don't think they are hostile. This much Chakra, it was dwarfing everything in their surroundings. One of them had at least five times as much as my father, who had the largest signature I knew up till now.
The other was even bigger, he had fifteen times as much as Dad, scary.
The door got thrown open and the one with the most Chakra was the first one to come inside. His steps were purposeful and carried him over to my and Tsunade's crib with ease. I looked up and starred in the almost glowing eyes of Hashirama Senju.
“Ahahaha, my grandchildren, come, give Grandpa Hashi a hug,” boomed Hashirama. He picked me up and squashed me into a strong hug. I knew that he was holding himself back, or else I would be dead, it still was really uncomfortable and I was starting to get notifications about damage.
He was hugging the life out of me, literally.
Hashirama looked to be in his forties. Brown long hair and a charismatic face, with a fit body. His loud voice also had the side effect of waking Tsunade, who promptly decided that waking up wasn't something she liked. A fact that she has to make known to the world, that's why she started to wail.
Hashirama, the loving idiot, was freaking out and tried to calm Tsunade down with silly faces and gestures, all the while holding me in an uncomfortable position. I made my dislike known the same way as Tsunade, which made him even more worried.
“Hashirama-nii you idiot! You can't just shout when children are sleeping. No wonder Mito-nee banned you from holding Iria-chan when she was small. You are holding Kenshiro-chan upside down. Hand him over!” Ordered a stern voice.
Hashirama looked sullen and gave me into the arms of another man. He was the other one of the massive Chakra signatures. Tobirama, the man was known for his sternness, no-nonsense attitude and seriousness. He too was in his forties, a few years younger than Hashirama, but looking way more serious and scarier.
He was holding me with surprising care. He was even supporting my head properly. Now he was looking into my eyes and I stared back. We both held the stare for long moments. “Ha, this babe is already more serious than Hashirama-nii. He'll become a fine Ninja, once he can walk.” Tobirama then began to laugh loudly. The always serious Tobirama Senju was laughing.
“We know, Kenshiro-chan is very intelligent. He is also a very quiet child, never screaming and always studying his surroundings.” Agreed dad proudly with Tobirama.

They began to speak about the village and day to day things while carrying us out of our room and into the living room. They placed both me and Tsunade down on a blanket and gave us toys to play with.
I ignored my toys and continued with my training. Those toys are boring, I already have fine motion control and don't need to play with blocks. And while most games were geared to get children used for the life of a Ninja, it still wasn't as interesting as my own training. No, I'd rather move my Chakra through my body and enhance it enough to finally start crawling. So far, I can roll around, but actual crawling was still something in the making. And I'll be damned if I stay immobile for any longer.
So, I moved my Chakra into my limbs and started the process of holding it there longer than natural. Doing this was depleting my Chakra and I don't have much of that. Still, I concentrated and finally managed to fill both my arms and legs.
You've learned; Chakra Enhancement
Chakra Enhancement; Active LV 1 ( 0%)
The ability to enhance your body, with growing skill even objects, with Chakra. Making it stronger, more durable and all in all better.
Suddenly doing this wasn't so hard any longer and it felt quite easy even. I also noticed that my Chakra drain lessened significantly. Not enough for me to hold this on for long times, but still enough for me to crawl around and not wiggle for a second or two.
So, learning something is hard and then once I have learned the skill it will be way easier to do, while also decreasing the costs. A higher skill level will then make this as natural as breathing and lower the costs even more, nice.
I had just rolled myself over and was laying with my stomach on the ground when Tobirama stopped mid-sentence. I didn't bother to find out why, too focused on crawling over to the bookcase that was tempting me since I spotted it a few weeks ago.
I pushed myself up and stopped on all fours, my stomach no longer touching the floor. One arm forward, then the opposite leg and repeat with the other arm and leg. Slowly I gained momentum and was crawling. Yes! Fear me world, for I can crawl! Muhahahaha.
My evil laugh came out as a cute baby giggle, so I stopped and increased my effort of getting some books in my hands. I was so focused on my goal that I didn't notice the person at my back until it was too late and I was picked up.
Mom turned me around in her arms and was smiling a bright smile. “Look, Ken-chan is already crawling. He is such a strong boy, hehehe. Now I have to keep an eye on him or else he might crawl away.”
“Yes, strong. Say, can I hold him for a moment?” Requested Tobirama suddenly. I kind of knew that I was found out. I think to remember that Tobirama was a sensor himself. He must have felt me using Chakra when I started to crawl. That's why he stopped speaking.
I really didn't want to get handed over, but squirming now would bring even more suspicions. So reluctantly, I allowed mom to give me over into Tobirama's hands.
He looked down on me, put Chakra into his hand and touched my tummy. My own Chakra instantly moved into the way of his foreign one and tried to fight it away, not liking the intrusion of unknown Chakra.
“His Chakra pathways are active,” stated Tobirama after only a moment of applying Chakra. He stopped his intrusion and we both looked up into the shocked faces of my parents and Hashirama, as well as the drooling grin of Tsunade. The later was in dad's arms.
“How? I mean he is not even half a year old. How can he already have an active Chakra system?” Questioned Hashirama, more serious now than what I have seen him the whole day.
“I don't know, give me Tsunade-chan for a moment, maybe it's something they have in common,” replied Tobirama, he handed me back to mom and took Tsunade. He placed his hand on her tummy as well, but it stayed longer than on me.
He then took his hand off, poked Tsunade's nose, and looked at the rest of us. “No, hers isn't active. It didn't fight my intrusion.” Interesting, so an active system will fight foreign Chakra and an inactive not.
“But how then is Kenshiro-chan's?” Asked Hashirama with a frown. Is it dangerous for a baby to have an active Chakra system? Sure, I can deplete it and die from Chakra exhaustion....oh.
“There was this moment, I thought Kenshiro-chan has had gathered Chakra into his hand. It was glowing then,” muttered dad. The others were looking at him, silently ordering him to continue. “Well, it was just hours after his birth, I chalked it up as having seen wrongly. But maybe not, maybe he was born with an active system. Tobirama-san, how much Chakra does Kenshiro-chan have?”
Tobirama looked at me for a moment and I felt how his Chakra touched my whole body. Not invasive, but similar to sensing. “Roughly the same as a four-year-old child. He must be using it for some time now. It's a miracle that he hasn't shown any signs of Chakra exhaustion.”
“Maybe he instinctively knows that using too much isn't good for him? Like some people have a fear of spiders, even when they see one for the first time?” Mused mom, she was still holding me with care, so I don't think they will think less of me.
“Still, having an active system at such a young age is unheard of. The earliest we have seen was three.” Hashirama's words were confirmed by Tobirama with a serious nod. Maybe it was also a normal nod, Tobirama's face always looks serious.
“Is there something we have to do? I don't want to have my Ken-chan in pain.” Mom pulled me further into her embrace and cuddled me strongly.
Hashirama shook his head in denial while placing a comforting hand on mom's shoulder. “Not that I know. Sealing his Chakra would be more harmful, his grows would be severely stunted. I can ask Mito-chan if she knows something. The Uzumaki are a clan with high Chakra reserves, even when young.
For now, we can only keep a close eye on him and try to keep him from overusing his Chakra. Maybe you are right and he stops himself from using too much on his own. If Daikuma-san is right and Kenshiro-chan here has an active system since birth then not much will happen. He is five months now and hasn't had any illness or signs of Chakra exhaustion, for it to happen now would be unlikely.”
Mom turned me around and looked into my eyes. “You are already causing trouble eh Ken-chan?” That was the last thing about my active Chakra system for the day. Early the next morning a pretty woman with bright red hair came and took a look at me. She told mom and dad that I had no signs of continued Chakra exhaustion and that everything was pointing at their theory that I am instinctively only using as much Chakra as was healthy.
Which wasn't necessarily true, I did use my Chakra up, just not so far that it will also harm my health. I have learned that continued use of Chakra was raising both my endurance and intelligence. Slowly, like every training, but steadily.
Mito, no one else could be this woman, played some time with both me and Tsunade before leaving again. Her games were heavily oriented towards hand-eye coordination and finger flexibility. I also tried to feel her Chakra and didn't find any signs of a second Chakra source within her. Her seal is either hiding it or she hasn't yet sealed the Kyuubi within herself. She raised an eyebrow when I felt for her Chakra but said nothing.
