Konoha…Park beside the ninja Academy...
Currently, Kirito and Naruto are playing with Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji they are hard to decide what they should play.
"Let us play house. " Ino said after thinking a little.
"Are you guys sure you don"t want me to teach you the transformation jutsu. " Kirito asked for confirmation as he got surprised when they didn"t show as much interest as this morning.
"Yes, I am because I didn"t understand anything about the transformation jutsu so I asked my dad and he said when I am at the right age it will be easy. So I need to enjoy my life until I start learning my clans jutsus. " Choji said as he ears chips.
"Yes, he is right you know. Though I somewhat understand the process I can"t use the jutsu and trying so hard is so tiring so I will also try to enjoy till I am old enough. " Shikamaru added lazily.
"Then I will also do that besides when we join the academy we can learn it then so there is no point in rushing it right. " Naruto also said as he really didn"t like to work hard, after all, what will you expect he is just a kid right now.
"If you put it like that I will not force you but know this it is your loss. " Kirito said with a sigh.
"Ok let us play tag then. You are it. " Naruto said as he hit Kirito and the 3 boys started running.
"Hey, that"s not fare. " Kirito said as he got off guard by their sudden decision.
"Stop ignoring me….. " Finally Ino couldn"t take it anymore as she shouted it loud as she saw everyone ignoring her and starting playing as if she wasn"t even here. At first, she thought they will ask her but soon she found they were only talking among themselves and not looking at her but when she saw they just started playing without asking her she shouted at the top of her launch which affected Kirito as he was standing right beside her.
"Can you not shout, please. " Kirito said as he covered his ears.
"But you are not listening to me. " Ino said innocently as she saw Kirito"s pitifully talking to her.
"Can you replay that? " Kirito asked as he puts his hands spread on his ears to try and hear Ino better as he wasn"t able to hear what she said because he really got affected by her shout from earlier.

Hokage office…
While Kirito is playing with his brother and friends in the park here in the Hokage office the 5 most authoritative persons in the village are having a serious discussion of their own.
"You can"t be serious Saito he is just a 3 years old boy. We can"t let him join the academy at such a young age. If he was a year or two older then. " Koharu said while looking at Saito with a serious tone as she drank her green tea.
"Cut that act Koharu I know what you are implying and planning to do but I won"t let you guys decide this time as I have already decided. " Saito said angrily as he looked at everyone in the room.
"If anyone one should have him then it is not you Saito but me and my root. " Danzo said as he really wanted at least one of the two brothers so after making his declaration he looked at Hiruzen and said with a serious tone "Hiruzen, Let my root have that kid I will make sure to train him good for the village. "
"Dont overstatement yourself Danzo and think I will not take action against you. " Saito said angrily as he heard Danzo thinking of taking his student even before ge could teach him.
"I am not overestimating myself at all Saito. Don"t forget I gave the publication to protect the village from the shadows. So there is nothing wrong for me to ask of having one of the twins. " Danzo said with seriousness as he added "Besides I will be able to make him a strong weapon for the village more than what your academy can ever come close to of think of. "
"Like h.e.l.l, I will let you do that. " Saito said as he was almost going to let out his aura to suppress Danzo with his killing intent.
"That"s enough Danzo I told you before and tell you again. I am not going to give you any of those two boys. I promised to Kushina that I will make sure they have a normal life. " Hiruzen also joined in the conversation.
"You can"t be serious Hiruzen. " Danzo couldn"t believe what his friend is telling him as he added when he saw how serious Hiruzen"s face is "hahahahaha…..You of all people Hiruzen. How could you say that you will make sure that they had a safe life? Aren"t you the one that spread the rumors about the fox and now you are acting all nice and good after making their lives h.e.l.l. I am telling you to give them to me while you still can. "
"That is enough out of you Danzo. I felt guilty for what I have done with the twins and I regret it now. Though Kushina told me that Minato thought the villagers will hold the Twins as heroes. So I disclosed the matter how would I know it will turn out this bad. " Hiruzen said with a sad sigh.
"Stop playing fool Hiruzen. " Danzo suddenly cut in.
"I don"t need to explain it to you do I beside when I saw the villagers are taking everything negatively I tried my best to stop the rumors. " Hiruzen gave a long sad sigh ad he continued "But now I am not going to let them suffer anymore. Also, Saito, I understand that you mean well for the kid but I can"t let him join the academy I want him to pa.s.s at the same age as other kids at his generation. "
"No, I won"t accept it. I think he deserves better and I won"t let someone so talented to rot like this. He deserves to start learning now. " Saito said with a complicated tone.
"I can understand what you mean by that after all I also want a talented boy like him to shine brightest in the world. Ok how about this you will teach personally outside the academic and I will promote him like every time based on his ability. That means he will need to join Anbu is ge is capable before 7 years of age and I will send him to do different missions on turns as well and when he is 7 he will join the academy with his brother and continue to study but still be sent to missions time to time. Also when his generation gives the cunin exam I will devil his rank whichever he is. " Hiruzen said with after thinking a little.
"Ok, I can accept that for now. " Saito said as he looked at the other three in teb room with could look as he said, "Don"t think of doing anything funny with the twins or you know I am not a nice person to make an enemy of. Also before I go Danzo I am especially warning you, that time I wasn"t in the village so I don"t know how my Minato and Kushina end up dead in the nine tails attack but if I was here I know the result wouldn"t be the same. So if you think of hurt the twins know this I will destroy your root and give you a punishment worse then even h.e.l.l. " and he vanished from teb spot.
"You saw how impudent he got. " Danzo said as he looked at teb place Saito was standing and the room returned to normal temperature.
"we can"t do anything about him though after all he was chosen for the 3rd Hokage seat before me and he declined saying he doesn"t like politics but stayed to protect village after first Hokage"s request. " Hiruzen said as he also knows how fearful Saito really is.

Back to the playground/park...
Currently, it already became evening and the parents of every kid came to take them home.
"See you again tomorrow Kirito. " Ino said with a smile while waving her hand at Kirito.
"Take care on your way. " Kirito also said with a smile.
"Don"t worry I will. " Ino said as she grabber dads hand and said "Let"s go, dad. "
Ino started walking with her dad and left the park Inoichi asked "You know who that kid is right. "
"Yes, but he is very nice to me. " Ino said with a smile as she remembered Kirito wasn"t like other boys and respected her.
On the other hand a few meters away from them Shikamaru just joined with his dad Shikaku Nara as he asked "Dad why does everyone say bad things about them? "
"It is not important what they say about them but what you think about them son. So what do think? " Shikaku asked with a wise tone.
"I think Naruto is good but his brother Kirito is smarter than me a lot. Also, I like to hang around with them. " Shikamaru said after thinking a little.
"I see. Good for you then. " Shikaku said as they started walking.
Back to the twins…
"What are you sad about brother? " Kirito asked as he knows Naruto is thinking about their parents while looking at the back of the kids who are leaving the park with their parents.
"Its nothing. " Naruto said with a sigh as ge didn"t want to make his brother worried or sad talking about their parents as he asked "So where are we going next. "
"Did you forget already that grams promised to take us with him to the ramen shop from here."
