The large number of genius points instantly served as a reality check for Ken as he looked excitedly at the genius points.
"Little Ken, due to this event I have decided the way forward for your academy life. Since your power already exceeds that of a seasoned genin it would be a waste of time to have you spend your days in the academy."
Minato said his face stern seemingly to have calculated everything about Ken's future. In accordance to his thoughts, some one like Ken was destined to reach a level of power that even he could only dream to attain.
And it was a very well known far and wide that geniuses received preferential treatment.
"Wait!"
"Ken cannot be told to skip the academy. Remember that the academy is a place where social bonds are created and students learn how to love the village and its people, please do not strip the child of such a crucial part of his life."
It was Kushina who had decided to go against Minato's decision and everyone listening was stupefied. Normally anyone to defy the Hokage's decision so outright would get at least a small punishment but no one dared to intervene a dispute between couples.
"At the end lets leave the decision to little Ken." Minato made a verdict and everyone turned their glance to look at the seemingly young boy was sited on the bed.
The boy - Ken pointed at himself and flustered he entered deep thought. At his current stage he was satisfied with anything he was told to do and had never once considered the matter.
"Are you truly going to ask a four year old to decide his own future? I believe that's unwise for a bunch of seasoned adults."
"I…"
Minato was looking for the correct way to clash with Ken's words but he came up short inevitably deciding to look at Nara Shikaku.
"I actually forget that we were talking to a four year old kid." Shikaku said easing the tension coursing in the room.
"Since our genius here is a bit too young to decide for himself I think my proposal is just perfect. As normal he will join the academy at five but will then choose either to graduate immediately or to delay. But by any chance he is still indecisive by age 8 to preserve his talent we will have to make him graduate early and join a qualified jonin team or possibly become a disciple of anyone qualified enough."
Hearing the husk voice everyone decided to agree on it, since it carried the weight of wisdom.
"Not to keep this a secret to you Ken but I have to already inform you as Hokage. You are the clan head of the Kageno clan which possess unlimited wealth and many ninjutsu anyone would kill for, as well as your revealed talent.
I have decided to take it on myself and send four anbu teams to constantly guard you. Also the daimyo has two elite squads that guarantee your protection."
"The daimyo what does he have to do with me?"
Shikaku intervened once more and clarified"although not known to many, the Kageno clan was once a great clan on par or greater than Senju and Uchiha. During its glory days in the Sengoku period, it served a great help to the Land of Fire making it a permanent stakeholder of the Land of Fire.
Therefore the daimyo has to ensure that you are well protected and guarded until you become of age and are at the age to self protect yourself. Meaning right now if you ever enter a desperate situation the daimyo will spare no expense to come to your aid."
'No wonder despite my immense wealth that guy Danzo has not made any proactive action.' Hidden under the sheets are creeping smile appeared on Ken's face.
'Never did I expect for my ancestors to leave me such inheritances.' the thought crept his mind and his heart was pounding just enough to show his excitement.
After the semi strategic meeting, Ken walked towards his clan compound. On his way he decided to test out the new knowledge he had gained.
"I know that you are here, why not just show yourself." After nearly five seconds, Ken's face was about to turn red from embarrassment when suddenly a figure formulated right in front of him.
The figure was that of a middle aged man with a short beard, neck long brown hair and a sharp fierce expression. If it weren't for the nervous expression on his face he would have looked like he was here to assassinate Ken.
The man was half kneeling in an upright posture and carried a very domineering aura that had been kept tranquil the moment he came in front of Ken.
With a downcast expression he respectfully remarked. "I pass my greatest apologies if our presence has caused any problems to you Lord Ken."
"Not at all. Would you care to introduce yourself?" the sharp tone had made it sound like an order over a question.
Fixing his posture into an even more respectful one and in a softened tone he replied
"I am the commander of the Death Spirit Guard and you can address me as Noel, no pleasantries required. As for my purpose it is absolutely simple. Me and my subordinates have a simple purpose and that is to meet your demands and ensure your safety.
We would have waited till you matured till we introduced ourselves but it was my lack of insight that you would discover us."
"How strong are you guys?"
"Although Konoha intelligence thinks that there are only two squads, the truth is that we take regular shifts with our base being just outside Konoha, in short we are strong enough to deceive the entirety of Konoha."
"That's good enough. At current I am just four years old and have no need for your power but I believe that the time will arrive, so just keep on doing your jobs in secrecy."
