Bright sunlight filled the room of his families home as the young boy Minato Hatake had been training since the sun first started peaking over the horizon wanting to get it all out of the way before breakfast so his mom and dad couldn't yell at him about it. His mother Sarada began shouting his name frantically but Minato just ignored it and continued his training in the courtyard. After a short while his father joined up before Minato heard an all to familiar voice from behind him.
"You know you really ought to give them a break." The man said in a voice that sounded slightly amused. "Right Minato?"
"Of course Grandfather but wheres the fun in that?" Minato replied looking up at his grandfather and meeting his one showing eye.
"Minato." he said sternly.
"Yes grandpa Kakashi" Minato said defeated. "Mom, Dad, I'm out here!" he shouted as his mother and father came running out his mother looking like she could kill him before seeing Kakashi standing behind him.
"Thank you Kakashi sensei." his mother said to him. "What brings you in?"
"Well, I heard the yelling from across the way and figured I should drop in and check on you all."
"Thanks, dad it's appreciated." His father said smiling to Kakashi.
The rest of the morning went on without a hitch lots of remembering for Minato though as he was remembering the time he spent in the academy and how in spite of his troublemaking he seemed to be towards the top of the class with only one other genin to be giving him competition for that spot, Kagasei Momochi. The young son of the man his grandfathers fought alongside the 7th Hokage and his grandmother. Minato had been told the story before and had always allowed it to lead him when it came to being as strong as possible. In fact is was the day he found out that he would be paired up with him on a team that he started training harder and harder. Looking into the corner of his room he saw the sword stand that held his families sword. A sword that allowed him to charge it with his own chakra and make it seem sharper and longer than it appears. After a short while Kakashi came into his room and sat down next to him.
"So Himawari sensei told me that We're going to be participating in the Chunin exams." Minato said staring at the sword. Even though he had been training with it since it was handed down to him he never took it with him on any ninja missions.
"Well, I think you can do it. You are the grandson of the Sixth Hokage after all." Kakashi said in reply.
"I don't know about making it though Grandpa Sasuke told me about his first Chunin Exams and how hard it was."
"And if not for the interruptions I'm sure you're Grandfather would have made Chunin then."
"Perhaps you're right. I just hope Kagasei will get his thick skull out of the way and listen to me."
