Naruto – Minato Namikaze SI

[Chapter Size: 1400 Words.]
Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 34.
...

...

In the training field, surrounded by the quiet of the morning, Minato was immersed in solitary and intense training. The light emitted by his arm illuminated the area around him, creating a spectacle of shadows and clarity that danced to the rhythm of his movements, even during the daylight. He was focused on a clear objective: maintaining the light state of his arm and trying to mold it, understanding the nuances and limits of this unique form.

With the help of clones, Minato tested the intangibility of his arm. One clone punched while another threw kunais, each blow passing straight through his luminous form. He watched, fascinated and attentive, as his ability reacted under different angles and intensities. The feeling of becoming immune to physical attacks was both exciting and disorienting.

"If my body is immune to physical attacks, I won't be able to receive any more attacks, and that will be difficult to explain when someone from the higher-ups realizes this..." Minato murmured to himself, his low voice lost in the morning breeze. He was fully aware of the implications of his abilities. Being immune to physical attacks was an incredible power, but it also brought with it a series of complications, especially in a world where beings with extraordinary abilities were often seen as threats or opportunities for study.

Minato knew that he didn't want to become a subject of study, an experiment in the hands of others. He also didn't wish to be branded as a renegade, forced to flee from the village that he now considered his home and had sworn to protect when he decided to follow the shinobi path. These prospects led him to a clear conclusion: he needed to hide his ability to become intangible until he was in a position of sufficient strength and influence.

"For now, I will continue to hone my skills in secret," he thought, determined. "When I have powerful allies and sufficient merits, then I can reveal my true power without consequences."

With that thought in mind, Minato continued his training, each movement and experiment shaping his abilities. He knew that the path ahead would be filled with challenges and difficult decisions. After all, he wouldn't just be a ninja; he would be Minato, the future Yellow Flash of Konoha, and he was determined to carve his own path, illuminated by the light of his convictions and the brilliance of his power.

Minato, with his arm still emitting a soft and continuous glow, decided to take his training a step further. Inspired by the abilities of characters he knew from his memories, he focused intensely, trying to feel and direct the energy flowing through him. Then, with iron determination, Minato attempted to take a step forward while maintaining his arm in the form of light. However, instead of the fluid and fast movement he expected, his body hesitated, faltering between physical and luminous forms.

Minato tried again, this time attempting to run. He imagined his entire form becoming light, moving with the speed and grace that his power promised. However, the reality was much different. He became unbalanced, stumbling and almost falling. Each attempt to move as light resulted in a struggle, an uncomfortable disconnection between his mind, his body, and the energy he was trying to manipulate.

Frustrated but not discouraged, Minato paused to reflect on the difficulties he was facing. He knew his goals were ambitious, perhaps even premature, considering his current level of understanding and control over his fruit.

"The transformation into light is very complex, challenging not just the laws of physics but also the very nature of my physical existence," Minato murmured, looking at his arm of light. "I'm not there yet," he admitted to himself, taking a deep breath to calm down. "But that doesn't mean it's impossible. It just means I need more practice, more understanding."

"The good thing about this is that I don't use chakra to maintain this form... It comes directly from my physical energy, and having a body with the potential of people from One Piece gives me a significant advantage in stamina compared to people with chakra bodies from this world," Minato reflected, as he had the advantage of using two energies. Unlike taijutsu specialists in this world, he could use physical energy to emit explosions and move at the speed of light with mastery of his power.

Minato resumed his training, returning to more basic exercises of control and transformation, trying to master his power even if it takes years of training. During not just that day, he continued training his fruit every day. Unfortunately, he could only train with his original body with the Pika Pika no Mi, as no clone could use this power, but it doesn't mean he wouldn't train, putting clones to practice his calligraphy, chakra control, and even observation haki since his experience with the clones could contribute to the increase of his perception.

Minato made the most of the day until it finally darkened, he had put a clone to the academy and one to work, so the clones dispersed, Minato returned to the orphanage. He greeted everyone and rested for the next day.

When he returned to the training site and was about to enter his state of light, he felt a presence approaching. It was Tsuna, her haki was sharper than before, taking a distance of 20 meters around her. If he had to classify the level of observation haki, he would say he has 10 levels, and currently, Minato is at level 2, which is a great achievement for an 8-year-old boy. Even in One Piece, he would be considered a great genius.

"Tsuna?" Minato called out to the approaching girl.

"Damn it, Minato, I can't even scare you, you're a damn sensor!" She growled, seeing that Minato had easily discovered her.

"Yes, I'm a sensor," Minato said, rolling his eyes, what else could he say?

"Minato, I could have talked to your clone, but you wouldn't know in time, so I sent this clone of mine to talk to you," she said.

"And what's so urgent that you needed to seek my original?" Minato raised an eyebrow.

"Because I want to invite you to my house tonight!" She said with a bright smile.

"Hm?! Why so sudden?" Minato was a little stunned by Tsuna's invitation; he had never been to her house, he never imagined her inviting him, especially on a night, for what seems like a dinner.

Tsuna took a deep breath, clearly trying to gather courage. "Well, my mother is home for a few days. She wants to meet my closest friends, and... you're my closest friend! Well, so I wanted to invite you to dinner at the Senju residence tonight. It would be an honor for me if you came." Tsuna was blushing greatly and continued even redder. "But remember, don't think this is a date or anything, just a dinner to meet my family!"

Minato was still surprised by the invitation but completely ignored the part about the date mentioned by Tsuna. Dinner with Tsuna's family, especially being the daughter of Tsunade and the great-granddaughter of Mito-sama. Tsunade was a living legend in Konoha, known for her phenomenal strength and unparalleled medical abilities, even at this time when she is still not considered a legendary Sannin. And there was also the possibility of meeting Mito-Sama, someone Minato imagined meeting only after Kushina's arrival.

"Well, this is quite sudden, but yes, I accept the invitation, Tsuna," Minato replied with a genuine smile. "It would be a pleasure to dine with your family. Thank you for inviting me."

Tsuna exhaled, relieved and happy. "Great! It will be tonight. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the academy about 3 hours after the classes, and we'll go together, okay?"

"Yes, let's meet at that time then," Minato agreed.

"Great, goodbye!" Tsuna, still a bit red, dispersed her clone the next moment before Minato could react.

*Booof*

"She didn't even let me ask what kind of clothes I should wear..." Minato murmured to the dissipating smoke.
