For the next 2 years and 7 months Yujiro continued to grow like an ordinary child.
However it is debatable if the growth rate was that of an ordinary child, after all in the sixth month of his rebirth he had learned how to walk.
Running came right after.
But what he was sure about was that normal babies in his previous life could not start to speak decently at 13 months of age.
But even when he could do that, the caretakers of the orphanage did not see it as weird, even though he was obviously ahead of other children at the orphanage.
Aside from that he was constantly looking around the orphanage and its surroundings, but all he could see mostly was a small playground, white walls and enormous trees everywhere.
At the age of 20 months when most of his peers started to have coherent speech, he started to ask a lot of questions from the caretakers.
But as they said, they are only responsible for taking care of the orphans so they themselves didn't know much.
But as luck would have it, when Yujiro asked the head of the orphanage about many things she recommended him to read many books from the library.
When he asked where it was, he was led to a small room in the orphanage.
But that's where his luck ended. As he had no one who had time to teach him to read.
As such most of free time went on trying to read himself, though it was extremely tedious since he had to point to a character and ask one of the nannies about their meaning.
Through his tedious efforts he spent the next 8 months of effort learning how to read and write.
After a couple of months of reading, Yujiro finally confirmed when and where he was reborn.
Konoha 46 Years since its founding, and in the middle of the third great ninja war.
After realizing this, he went around asking how to become a ninja.
This was solely because he knew that the future of this world was incredibly perilous.
As such he wanted to ensure that he won't randomly die.
But it wasn't like he didn't know this path wasn't as dangerous or even more dangerous.
But one thing over was much more valuable to him than mere danger. It was the potential to control what he could do.
Though when he realized that he was a Hyuga he knew that his pursuit of power and freedom would be difficult.
But these matter will only come to affect him later. Now his no. 1 priority is to awaken his chakra.
But the problem is that he had no real good reason to ask about it, since not a single book in the orphanages library mentioned anything about chakra and how ninjas use it.
Since that's the case I can try to awaken it myself, if it takes too long I'll just risk it and ask somebody about it.
As for what the risk is in asking about chakra. May I ask if your 3 year old child starts randomly asking about integrals, would that not be suspicious.
Though he wants to get supported by the village, so he needs to show some talent, but if that talent is like that of Uchiha Itachi's people will not only support him but paint a giant red target on his forehead.
At evening.
'Hmm, since I'm going to try awakening chakra on my own, I should probably try and strengthen my physical and spiritual energy.
I remember that in Naruto chakra is formed by combining spiritual and physical energies.
In my previous life it was said that spiritual energy can be increased with experience, age and meditation. If that's the case I should meditate since that's the only way for me to increase it currently.
As for physical energy, it's simpler I just need to train my body, the only worry is that my training will have a detrimental effect on me in the future.
But that should only happen if I strain my body really hard or use weights, though this will have to be clarified in the future.
But if it's just normal running and body weight training it should not be a issue.
As for the issue of learning more about my environment, I should ask if there is a larger library nearby.
But now I should just sleep and worry about this in the morning.'
The next morning, Yujiro woke up at around 7 AM and almost immediately he started to plan on how to exercise naturally.
'Hmm I will probably be under adult supervision until I'm old enough though that will probably be till I'm just 4. Since most 4 year olds can freely move near the orphanage, and the orphanage is surrounded by a forest and a wall which will ensure that we won't get out from the Hyuga compound.
But I should still be able to organize some games of tag and climbing until I'm old enough to escape the adults supervision. As for the rest of the muscle training there is not much I can do, I can probably do frog jumps and punching training in secret but for the rest of the training I should probably just wait till I can get proper instruction or till I can observe proper training.
For the daily training we have breakfast at 7 AM and have free playing time from 7.30 AM till 11.30 AM in which time I can organize something like tag with the 34 kids my age. We have food at 11.45 AM and have free time from there to 4.45 PM when we have dinner. From there till 7 PM we have free time.
I'll do physical workout from 7.30 AM till 11.45 AM.
And from 12 AM till 4.30 PM. The rest of the time I will delicate to meditation or reading.
