Ino, Shikamaru and Choji reached the treehouse.
"Yota… Where are you?... It's us. Come out to play?" The three called out to their mysterious friend.
"Yota… Are you asleep? Wake up! It's us…" Ino called out to the person.
Suddenly a small skinny boy popped out of the tree leaves.
"Ino! Shikamaru! Choji! You're here." The boy was smiling looking at his new friends. He then jumped onto a smaller tree branch and laughed.
'Now who is that kid? I don't remember him from the original series.' Daichi thought and tried to recall any information on the boy.
At that moment the young boy named Yota saw Sakura hiding behind a tree looking at them. He looked at her for a few seconds and then called out loudly.
"Forehead!"
Sakura, startled by the shout, slipped and fell. Daichi chuckled looking at the comic scene taking place. Shikamaru and the other two turned around and saw Sakura.
"Oh? You're…" Choji exclaimed.
"Sakura!? What are you doing here?" Ino asked.
"How troublesome." Shikamaru sighed, rubbing his head.
"Ow Ow Ow…" Sakura slowly stood up and looked at her classmates. Just then the little kid ran to Sakura and called out. "Forehead!"
He laughed and ran around her having fun. Daichi was watching the scene from several trees behind. As he looked on, he felt something land on his head. He looked up and his eyes widened. It was snowing.
'Snowing? At this season? Something is strange with the weather.' Daichi looked ahead to the laughing child. 'I’m guessing he has something to do with this.'
Daichi stepped out of his hiding spot and went to his classmates. He saw them noticing his presence.
Shikamaru heard footsteps and tilted his head. It was then he saw Daichi walking towards them. Choji and Ino also saw him coming.
"Daichi!? How did you get here?" Shikamaru asked defensively. He was aware of how serious Daichi could be. He was also aware of his strength. Shikamaru had an understanding as to what makes most of his classmates tick. But he didn't know what to make of this particular one.
Daichi came near them and stopped. "I saw you guys stealing food from the students at the academy. I got curious and followed you guys here."
Shikamaru almost facepalmed upon hearing this. 'Of course he'd notice. We should have been more careful.'
"Grumpy face." The little kid named Yota said pointing at him. Daichi took a good look at the kid.
He was a small skinny boy with tan skin. He had spiky brown hair that reached his waist and short bangs hanging over his eyes. He had a wide smile on his face and Daichi could see a sharp tooth sticking out of the right side of his mouth. He was wearing a full green robe with a brown cloak.
It was at that moment Daichi noticed something strange with the kid's eyes. 'Those eyes… He has black sclerae…' It only took a few seconds for Daichi to know where he remembered that from.
'Reanimation jutsu!!? Don't tell me he's a reanimated zombie.'
Daichi had a serious look on his face. He instantly used 'observe' on the boy.
[LV.?] [Yota]
Age: 8
HP: ?? CP: ??
[A reanimation created by Orochimaru. Yota was born into a traveling clan who could manipulate the weather and made their living. He is a naive, carefree and fun loving boy. He possesses an unusually powerful ability to manipulate the weather. Even his emotions are capable of changing the weather. Due to being born with a frail body he died of natural causes not too long ago. Orochimaru left him as a test subject and is not actively controlling him.]
"What's with the look Daichi?"
Just as Daichi finished reading the information, Shikamaru questioned him.
Daichi let out a small sigh. 'Thank god this kid isn't going to wreak havoc or anything… I hope.'
"It's nothing… He's not from the village is he?"
"No. If they find out an outsider is within the village, it'll cause trouble for Yota…" Shikamaru said.
Daichi nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Especially with the current tensions between the villages. How did he even get here?"
Choji had a sheepish look on his face at that question. Shikamaru sighed and answered. “Choji was practicing his kunai throwing skills and he accidentally pinned Yota to a tree… That’s how we found him. Since he was just a kid looking for someone to play with, we figured it would be best if we kept this a secret.”
At this point Yota jumped and stood in front of Daichi. He pointed his finger and laughed.
"Grumpy!… Grumpy!… Grumpy!"
He ran around Daichi as if he was playing around. Daichi chuckled looking at the antics of the little kid. 'For a second I thought this kid would have some malicious intent being a reanimation and all… But it looks like I'm wrong. I guess there's nothing to worry about.'
"Forehead… Forehead… Forehead." Young Yota then ran around Sakura laughing at her. Sakura puffed her cheeks as she looked at the kid. "Hey don't make fun of me."
"What's your name kid?" Daichi asked even though he knew.
"I'm Yota."
"Where are you from?"
"Nowhere!" Yota kept laughing and answered. "Kon Kon Kon… it's snowing! Kon!"
"Looks like he took a liking to you guys." Shikamaru smiled.
Daichi looked around and saw the falling snow. "Is it snowing because you're happy?" He asked the boy.
"Um!" Yota nodded.
"That's a pretty cool ability." Sakura chimed in.
"Yeah!" Ino agreed as well.
Daichi looked at Shikamaru and said, "I take it you three stole the food for him?"

The young Nara sighed and simply nodded.
"Here. You can have mine too." Daichi handed his food to Yota. The boy jumped with excitement. "Yay. Food for my tum tum!"
"So you'll keep this a secret? You won't tell the adults about him?" Shikamaru asked Daichi.
"No. He doesn't look like he's here to cause trouble. I'll keep this between us."
The young Nara simply nodded and smiled.
Reputation increases with Shikamaru, Ino and Choji.
All of them gathered near the treehouse and watched Yota eat the food he had. It was snowing and soon there was enough snow to play around with. Once he ate his food they started playing.
Daichi build a snowman and then laid on the ground and made snow angels. They had snowball fights and rode sledges.
For the first time since becoming a part of this world, Daichi had fun playing with kids his age. He enjoyed spending time just goofing off. That day he made some true friends.
—--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shikamaru and the others would go play with Yota everyday after the academy. Unfortunately Daichi couldn't spend all his time playing around. But he'd give Shikamaru some food to bring to Yota.
It was a Saturday morning. Daichi was currently at home trying to control his chakra and changing it to earth nature. He then took a stone and started his shape transformation training. He remembered what his grandfather had said when he inquired about the affinity training.
‘The change in chakra nature is an advanced form of chakra control that entails molding and defining the nature of one's chakra. Altering its characteristics and properties to use in jutsus. Then there’s the change in chakra form.’ He could remember what Kensei said all those months ago like it was yesterday.
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flashback:
"Hey gramps… How do I go about creating a jutsu?" Daichi asked Kensei one morning after breakfast.
The old man thought for a few seconds before giving his answer. "Creating a jutsu is a very complicated process. As you know, to use jutsu a person weaves several hand-seals which allows them to mold their chakra a certain way allowing them to use techniques of any nature. To create a new jutsu one must have sufficient knowledge about all the hand-seals and how they mold the chakra inside the body. And that's just the very basics."
Daichi listened attentively to every word Kensei said.
"The two most important aspects of creating or modifying a technique are Nature transformations and Shape transformation. Now, Nature transformation helps us change the properties of chakra. We can turn our raw chakra to fire, water, earth, lightning and wind depending on our proficiency with the skill. Do you understand so far?"
Daichi nodded. Kensei continued.
"Now shape transformation or change in chakra form as some say, deals with the changes in actual form, movement and range of the technique. It helps us alter the abilities of a jutsu."
"I understand. But what about Yin and Yang chakra? I read that they help in Genjutsu and medical Ninjutsu!" Daichi asked.
"It's true. There are several techniques that fall under the category of Yin and Yang release. The Nara clan's shadow jutsu's are based on Yin nature chakra while the Akimichi clan's body jutsus fall under Yang release." Kensei said.
"Yin is based on the spiritual composition of the chakra and Yang is based on the physical part, isn't it?"
"Yes Daichi. But using the jutsus that require yin and yang nature transformations are extremely difficult even for adults. The reason that ordinary people can't use a clan's secret techniques is because members of a clan are predisposed to their affinity when they are born. It's why you don't see an Akimichi using a shadow possession jutsu and vice-versa." Kensei wanted to make sure Daichi knew the difficulty of attempting such a task.
"What about elements that fall outside of the basic 5? Like ice or lave technique?… Or wood style jutsu?" Daichi asked.
"Reading up on the first Hokage and other villages, have we?" Kensei lightly chuckled.
"Daichi! Do you think you're the first one who had these thoughts?... There were countless people who mastered 2 affinity and tried to combine them to create a third new element. But they weren't successful. It's why we call the shinobi who can use elements like that, 'Kekkei Genkai' users. One must have a genetic advantage when trying to use techniques like that."
"But hypothetically, can it be done? If a person has absolute control over multiple affinities, can they create it?" Daichi was going to max out his skills and try to combine different affinities to create new elemental jutsus. Or at least that's his plan. He wanted to know his grandfather's opinion in the matter.
Kensei thought long and hard about this question. And after sometime gave him an answer. "For a person who doesn't have a Kekkei Genkai I'm gonna have to say no. When you master multiple natures, using those individually is an easy task. But using them simultaneously is a different matter altogether. So that's why even if you master all 5 chakra natures, unless you have a Kekkei Genkai you won't be able to combine them… But…anything is possible in this world. So who knows…"
Kensei then looked at Daichi. "I don't want you to try and do too many things at once. You'll only hinder yourself that way. Right now we know your natural affinity is earth. Start with earth nature chakra. Train in it. Then when you have reached advanced mastery, we'll try the others. This is advanced stuff. I'm only starting you on it because your talent is far greater than others. But that doesn't mean it's going to be easy. Do you understand?"
"I understand Gramps." Daichi replied in a serious tone indicating he understood the importance of the task.
Kensei took Daichi outside and both of them sat down on the ground. "I want you to feel the earth. The ground, the small pebbles, the soil beneath you…" Kensei then gave Daichi a small stone made of clay. It was half the size of Daichi's fist.
"We're going to start on the 'shape changing' aspect of your chakra. This is a very simple and basic training method for earth affinity users. It's just to get you to feel the way your chakra responds to you… Now concentrate and pour some chakra into the stone." Kensei began his lesson on earth manipulation.
"Your chakra is an aspect of you. And since earth is your natural affinity you have a much greater connection to it than those who do not. Remember how your chakra would feel when you use an earth jutsu? Close your eyes and concentrate on that."
Daichi closed his eyes as he held the stone. He would always try to feel what his chakra would be like when he performed the 5 basic jutsus he knew. Daichi focused and started flowing his chakra into the stone. Once the outer layer of the stone was coated in his chakra he slowly pushed his chakra to penetrate into its core. Coating it completely after a few minutes.
"Excellent. You're progressing faster than I thought." Kensei complimented.
Skill Chakra Flow's level has risen by one.
"Now imagine a thick sheet of paper. Use the chakra and slowly reshape that round stone into a square plane."
Daichi slowly moved his chakra. He could feel every part of the small stone with his energy. It took time but he moved his chakra in and around the stone. Trying to break it down and reshaping it. After about 20 minutes he was successful. In his hand was a thin square sheet made from clay.
"Wonderful. To think you actually got it on your first day. That's impressive." Kensei was amazed at Daichi's talent.
Skill Earth affinity's level has risen by one.
[A new skill is created with a specific action.]
[By successfully concentrating and infusing chakra throughout an object and changing its shape, the skill 'Creation' has been created.]
'Huh.? Wasn't expecting that.' Daichi thought as he read the notification.
