Ukai

~"I have extra duties after school today so don't worry about fetching me, I'll come home on my own."~

Sarada told me that this morning. Before saying I should starting keeping my promise and train Mino and her friends for the day instead. I still walked her to school though, all her young female friends greeting me while the boys stayed at a distance, only Mitsuki had greeted me, before they all disappeared, but that was expected, we grew up together after Maru took me in. He was like a younger brother.

'Train Mino huh?' I think heading for the lake again.

Mino looks about 6 maybe 7, she isnt in the Academy yet so I don't exactly know what she wants me to teach her. Chakra control would be a start, learning at a young age is good but then what, she won't be able to do Jutsus for a good 5 years. Maybe I'll just make them read about them like I did instead.

"Big brother Ukai!" I lifted my gaze from staring at the lake to see a group of small children run to me.

"Mino, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I got away from Mommy to play with my friends, then we saw you here and you promised to train us remember!" She smiled.

"Yeah," Her friends cheered.

"Right," I sigh.

"Well then, let's get started," I say.

The children cheered and ran toward me.

"Um, are you sure about this big brother?" Mino asked as she clung to my shirt.

"Yes, don't worry, you control is excellent for your age, and I will be here to catch you if you fall," I tell her walking onto the lake.

All of her friends watched as I slowly placed Mino down on the water.

Her right foot touching the water first, slightly going threw so she pulled it back up.

"It's ok, it's just water, it's not going to hurt you," I smile at her.

She looked back down at her foot before placing it back on the water, it stayed above the water line this time, causing Mino to smile. She put her second foot down and now she was standing.

"Ha ha! Look guys! I'm doing it!" Mino waved to her friends.

"Your awesome Mino!" Her friends cheered back.

"I'm doing it!~" She looked up at me.

"Thank you Big brother," She smiled.

I smiled back.

"Who's next?" I look at the group of children.

"Me! No me! I wanna go!" The all cheered.

"I'll take the next person who can prove like Mino did that they are ready!" I told the children, watching the rush to get some water and pour it on the ground in front of them, stepping on/in to try and be first.

"Big brother?"

"Yes?" I looked down at Mino.

"Can I try and walk?" She asked looking at her feet.

"If you would like to," I say stepping back.

"Walk with me!" She looked absolutely terrified that I had stepped back.

"Hey no worries, I'm right here," I step behind her.

"O-ok," She breathed, taking a small step forward.
