Chapter 2 - 2 (1/2)
Year 34 after Konoha's establishment, the second Ninja War has become increasingly fierce. Although Konoha has achieved some advantages on various battlefields, things don't look like they are heading in the best direction. Thanks to the recent clashes between Cloud and Earth villages, Konoha was able to save some troops to concentrate on the battle with the Hidden mist and Hidden sand.
On the other hand, Yamanaka Ryo had his 1stbirthday! He was able to say some easy to pronounce words by the time he was 6 months old. ”The newborn Yamanaka is a genius!” those words were spreading amongst the Ino-Chika-Cho Alliance. It was spreading across the whole village. After all, Ryo, after three months of being born, didn't wet his bed once!
At first, Yamanaka Chinse felt that her child's progress was normal. After all, one of the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan is to nurture the child with chakra. Back when he was in her w_o_m_b, she used those secret techniques. However, just after he had his 1st birthday, Ryo Surprised his mother!
Ryo, who was just 1 year old, learned how to copy after his cousin he had demonstrated several skills. When Yamanaka Chinse saw her son's fluffy little hands clumsily practicing the hand seals, she was shocked. What kind of ninja talent is this?!
Whether he was a genius was unknown even to Ryo himself. He was only a one year old so he couldn't refine his chakra, not to mention learning ninjutsu. In the deadly shadowy world of shinobi, and especially in this period of war, while he didn't need to participate in this second war, what about the time when the 3rd one (as he already knows from the anime) arises? In the original storyline, Kakashi graduated at the age of 5 and this genius was sent to the battlefield. What is certain is that if Ryo graduates normally he will also be sent to the battlefield. So he might not be able to learn ninjutsu or even refine his chakra, but he can always practice his hand seals.
On September 15, year 34, Hatake Sakumo's son Kakashi was born on a night of a full moon. All families went to congratulate them, and the Yamanakas were no exception.
The family sent the next generation of Ino-Chika-Cho, the one that graduated last year. They will be the next heads of the family, and the parents of the original storyline's Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji.
Yamanaka Chinse also received a personal invitation from Sakumo. On October 15th 4 people and a baby arrived together to congratulate the Hatake family.
Hatake Sakumo, at the rise of the war, was really famous. His Chakra infused white blade has harvested the lives of hundreds of skilled enemy shinobi. He was at the very top along with Konoha's elite.
While the Hatake clan wasn't particularly large in number, people from all over came in to celebrate Kakashi's birth, so there was quite a line of people entering.
”Oh, didn't you get a personal invitation from Sakumo San? You can go directly through the side door ”
”Great! You can help us now! If we don't get a seat soon we won't actually find a place to eat!”. Akimishi Choza is mainly here for the food: That's the Akamishi way. It made Tory roll his eyes.
”Yeah, It would be such a drag to wait in here!”, said, Shikaku Nara, while looking at the long queue in front of him impatiently. The three of them reminded Ryo so much of their children.
”You're finally here, Chinse!” A purple-haired woman in Hatake's household looked very happy at the sight of Ryo's mother.
”The flower from our hospital is now a mother!” Kakashi's mother and Yamanaka Chinse obviously knew each-other. They talked very happily while Ryo was watching Kakashi who was sleeping by their side.
