Watching the steady income of genius points, Ken couldn't help but grin while inside the office.
Hiruzen looked at Ken once again and decided at that moment to cultivate Ken into the next Minato.
Since Minato was to be placed as hokage later that same year, Hiruzen came up with the decision of taking in Ken as a disciple and nurture him into the fifth hokage.
Hiruzen took out a scroll and gave it to Ken before giving him an affectionate head pat and say
"These are the training methods of the academy's basic three, only when you master these can you be called a genin. Next year I also want you to join the academy. Continue the good work."
Shortly after Ken left, Danzo smacked his fist onto the desk and looked coldly at Hiruzen.
"I want you to …"
Before Danzo could even finish his words Hiruzen had already declined by saying a simple, "no."
"Such talent is terrifying, Hiruzen, if left unchecked it can be wasted or end up as a rogue ninja. Give him to me and I can make sure that the Kageno clan's kekkei genkai is seen in Konoha once more."
"Root Commander Shimura Danzo I want you to remember the sacrifice that Ken's father made for the village. In order to honor his demise the least we can do is make his only son live with free will."
"The Uchiha have a genius who is the same age as that boy and that genius has already began ninjutsu training while we have someone who has equal or greater than talent to him but has only just let him refine chakra.
Imagine the power we will hold if that boy awakens their clan's kekkei genkai even more what if he also awakens his Senju bloodline."
"Danzo I am Hokage!"
"Bastard." Danzo said as he exited the office and under his voice he said "Enjoy your time as Hokage since soon your bastard student will take over."
Kageno clan compound
Ken had just arrived accompanied by two jonin anbu from the shadows. He quickly ran towards the training grounds causing the anbu to quickly fall back.
The had strict orders from the Hokage to ensure Ken's safety all while not entering the compound.
Meanwhile Ken searched through the secret diaries of the clan and found what he had been searching for.
What he found was an old aesthetic scroll that contained the Kageno clan's record kenjutsu. The reason he had looked for this was after hearing the rumors that the Hatake sword style had been derived from the Kageno sword style.
"System open store."

Refreshes after every year ]
Ken decided to purchase Kageno clan history and the body cleansing pill, not that he could buy anything else. He also leveled up his wind release and water release to level 1.
[Host has bought the Kageno clan's history, do you want to use it.]
"Yes."
[Before the era of villages, existed the Sengoku period. This period stretched longer than four centuries and among the centuries six clans dominated.
The Senju, Uzumaki, Kaguya, Hyuga, Uchiha and Kageno. Each clan having its own unique bloodline limit.
Among all the clans, the one that showed more promise was the Kageno clan which had a bloodline limit that carried priceless strength. Despite their numbers being small it was true that they were one of the strongest in the first three centuries of the Sengoku period.
As time passed they withered in numbers and by the formation of Konoha only three members existed. The latest member was the host's father who had attained kage level power and awakened the bloodline limit.]
"System what is the bloodline limit of the Kageno clan."
[The system is not inclined to answer and will not answer that question]
Hearing something that even the plot didn't say, Ken found the current situation he was in very interesting.
He then looked at his other purchase which was the body cleansing pill. He ate it and felt is chakra control improving as well as his body improving qualitatively.
After feeling the improvement he focused intently on the kenjutsu working his but off to master it and even investing all the genius points he had and earned.
As for discovering what the famous kekkei genkai was, he would have to firstly grow in power before exploring it.
Two months later, Ken had greatly improved his mastery in kenjustu. However today he had been called out by Hiruzen for two major reasons.
Firstly to check on his progress and to also introduce him to the current hokage whom was Namikaze Minato the father of the child of fate as well as the Yellow Flash.
Seeing Ken arrive, Hiruzen who was now standing beside Minato wore a brilliant warm smile and gave Ken a small head pat.
He then signaled to Minato and Kushina before greeting the little boy.
"Little Ken, how have you been doing lately. Be respectful and greet the fourth hokage and Lady Kushina."
"Good afternoon Lady Kushina and Lord Fourth."
Ken made a soft expression which turned out to be cute especially to Kushina who moved towards Ken and began cuddling him.
Minato in a flash appeared beside Ken and asked " Grand master has been constantly complementing your talent even claiming that it is even better than Kakashi, are you willing to prove that?"
Ken slowly turned his head and looked at Minato his face mirroring that of a serious anbu. The moment that he had been waiting for had arrived.
The goal he had was as simple as one could be, to show Minato that he was indeed a genius and to also attain Minato's taijutsu mentor ship.
"Minato how dare you ask this adorable little child to fight for you." Kushina said her expression fierce and clear irritation visible from her voice.
"It's not a problem at all I can indeed demonstrate my talent to Lord Hokage, but before I begin I have a small request."
