In Naruto Trying to become a Saiyan from Kumogakure

Chapter 15: Ch 15. Future & Parent's Concern



After the meeting, the members gradually dispersed, leaving the Daimyo behind. As one of the safest locations in Kumogakure, the Raikage Clan's manor served as a fortress within the village. The Daimyo and his entourage would remain there for the night, with his guards stationed in other parts of the compound. It is already one of the safest places in the world with Raikage being there.

Meanwhile, in the manor's study, the Daimyo, the Third Raikage, and Raiya sat together, reflecting on the day's events. Ron, too young to join them, had already been tucked into bed, his small body needing the rest of a child despite his remarkable intellect.

The room was cozy, illuminated by warm lantern light. The Daimyo sipped his tea, a satisfied smile on his face. "Sister," he began, his tone light, "it seems my nephew is a genius a true prodigy. Did you know we already have an underground research lab in Kumogakure? Built years ago by ninjas using Earth Release techniques."

"But we never thought to use it for anything beyond basic experiments. And here comes Ron, barely out of diapers, suggesting ideas that even seasoned leaders wouldn't think of like applying our resources to farming and other innovations!"

Raiya chuckled softly, her gaze fond as she thought of her son. "Yes, Ron has always been different. Since the day he was born, he's shown a quiet maturity."

"He rarely cries, only when he needs something hunger, discomfort, etc. Even as a baby, he'd sit in his crib and stare off into space, lost in thought. I used to call him my little daydreamer."

The Daimyo laughed. "A daydreamer? That doesn't do him justice. He's planning the future of Kumogakure before he's old enough to wield a kunai!"

The Third Raikage's expression was a mix of pride and thoughtfulness. "He's calm, quiet, and perceptive traits well-suited for a ninja and a leader. But there's something more. Even after learning about the harsh realities of the world, he doesn't simply accept things as they are."

"He questions everything, forming his own ideas and perspectives. That's a mind far beyond his years. Unwilling to accommodate the world! And unwilling to let it change him."

Raiya's smile faded into a look of concern. "But are you truly planning to let him lead the village's research team? He's still so young, barely able to care for himself. And ninjutsu especially advanced techniques can be dangerous at his age."

The Raikage leaned back, his arms crossed. "I've thought about this carefully. I'm not throwing him into the front lines. For now, we'll implement his ideas and give him access to the knowledge he's requested. He won't be working directly in the lab until he is older, but he will act as its visionary proposing research directions and identifying talent."

"Those he selects, whether ninja or civilian, will be thoroughly screened before joining. And if they contribute significantly, they'll become part of the Raikage Clan's inner circle."

The Daimyo nodded in agreement. "That's a wise approach. To be honest, when Ron spoke earlier, I forgot I was listening to a one-year-old. His clarity and conviction were so strong that I promised him my support without even considering his age."

Raiya's concern deepened. "But isn't it dangerous for him to stand out so much? Other villages are always watching. If they learn of a prodigy like Ron, they may see him as a threat."

The Raikage's gaze darkened, his voice firm. "That's why he'll remain behind the scenes for now. The world doesn't need to know about Ron, not yet. Let the other villages continue to think we're a village of muscle and brawn. When the time is right, Kumogakure will reveal its strength not just in power, but in innovation."

If Ron heard his father's statement he would definitely say, "How is that possible, in Naruto, they were the 1st to have Chakra technology like, Chakra Canon, and figured out how to become Perfect Jinchurikki, and even used clever tactics! It's slander to call Kumogakure a Ninja village full of muscle and brawn!!"

The room fell into a contemplative silence. Finally, Raiya spoke again, her tone soft but resolute. "As his mother, I'll do everything I can to support him. But I want him to have a childhood too, even if it's a brief one. Promise me you won't push him too hard."

The Raikage's expression softened as he looked at her. "You have my word. He will have the time he needs to grow. For now, we'll guide him carefully and protect him from the shadows. But you know he is the eager one, that little rascal making his mother worry."

The Daimyo set down his cup with a smile. "It seems this little genius has us all wrapped around his finger. Let's see where his brilliance takes Kumogakure. The future is looking brighter than ever."

As their conversation wound down, the three adults shared a rare moment of peace, united by their shared hope for Ron's future and for Kumogakure and Land of Lightning's rise.
