"Three chunin have co to talk to in the last 10 minutes. Tell , what did you do, boy?!" Mada Gorete spoke sternly when she saw Minato arrive with the other children in that group.
"I...to be honest, I didn't do anything..." Minato said, scratching his head, but he was a bit calm. It was true; he just took the tests.
"Many examiners were questioning , especially about your origins and personality..." She said, crossing her arms.
Minato was about to respond, but he was interrupted by his classmates.
"Aunt Gorete, they said Minato has 3 elents. Is that so amazing?!" One of the girls, who was with Minato and his group during the tests and also part of the orphanage, asked curiously, as in the commotion between the two examiners, they had ntioned it out loud.
"3 elents?! I'm not deeply knowledgeable about ninja ways, but 3 elents are quite rare, so it's understandable that they want to know about you..." She said, a little stunned, but she quickly composed herself.
"Is that really so good?" One of the boys grumbled with a bit of envy in his voice.
She looked at the children and sighed, then began to explain.
"Yes, with this, they can asure Minato's potential. Look at our Hokage; he has an affinity for earth and fire, although I heard he can use all the other elents as well." She said, crossing her arms and with a certain approval in her gaze. She wanted to see all the children with a guaranteed future, and Minato seems to be doing well in that regard.
"WHAAT?!" the children exclaid.
"Now enough talking; let's go back. It's past lunchti, and the results will only co out at the end of the day. I'll co by myself and give you the news before dinner. You are free to return to the orphanage and have your proper als after that." She said.
"Really? I thought we had to stay..." Minato asked curiously.
"No, this ti will be used for them to classify the results and divide them among this year's classes." She explained, and Minato understood. All the boys returned after that.
anwhile, in the administration.
A group of chunin and a special jonin were approving who would go for the 30 spots in the prodigy class, the group of children they would invest the most in this year and the following years.
They had to review who would be classified before passing it on to the Hokage, the village leader may not be able to take care of 1000 children, but 30 prodigies would be ticulously passed by his eyes in this report, so they would review all the results and pay the most satisfactory among the top qualifiers.
They classified the grades as follows:
Bad - Considerably Worse - Average - Considerably Better - Superior/Perfect.
"Na, result, and classification."
"Mikoto Uchiha. Kunai test: superior, physical classification: superior, chakra affinity and chakra reserve: considerably better, fire affinity. Classification: prodigy class."
"Okay, approved. This passes without surprise, being an Uchiha. It's the third one we've approved in this class."
"Yes..."
"Next! Na, result, and classification."
"Shikaku Nara. Kunai test: average, physical classification: average, chakra affinity and chakra reserve: considerably... average, affinity for fire and earth. OBS: Very lazy but extrely intelligent. Classification: prodigy class."
"What could we expect from a Nara? Update your data with the Yin (Darkness) elent as well, a specialty of your clan. He is approved."
"Yes."
"Next."
"Tsuna Senju. Kunai test: considerably better, physical classification: superior, chakra affinity and chakra reserve: superior, affinity for water and earth. Classification: prodigy class."
"Approved, there's nothing to say about the great-granddaughter of the first Hokage."
"Yes."
"Next."
"Minato Namikaze. Kunai test: considerably worse, physical classification: superior, chakra affinity and chakra reserve: superior, affinity for fire, lightning, and wind. Classification: prodigy class."

"Say the na again."
"Minato Namikaze."
"Is there any clan with the na Namikaze in the village?"
"No, sir."
"Who is the boy then?"
"Sir, I classified him; he is an orphan from one of the orphanages in the lower regions of Konoha."
"An orphan? That's very unexpected. Any other information?"
"We asked the caretaker about the boy and his history. He ca to Konoha two years ago as an orphan at the age of 4. It seems his family was destroyed in the first war; so mbers survived, and it appears this boy is the last of them."
"I see. Conduct a search on the Namikaze surna and record everything you find for the Hokage to know about the boy. He will want all the information on why the boy has such potential."
"Yes, sir."
"It looks like this year will be a good batch, huh?"
"Yes, if we can get soone like the third Hokage's disciples or our current rising prodigy, Sakumo Hatake, our village will be blessed."
"True, now, next!"

...
While they were classifying the prodigy class, Minato was running through the village at this mont. He was heading back to the sa training ground he was at yesterday; he just ate and escaped from the orphanage and the kids with many questions since it was quite obvious that he was classified as one of the top results among the new batch this year.
Minato didn't want to waste ti on this and went to train imdiately; he had a lot to learn still. Arriving at the location, Minato sighed and made sure he was alone without anyone else passing by or training nearby.
"Let's first try to release my Logia energy..." He thought, raising his hand and attempting to make it turn into light, then squinting his eyes and focusing on it.
10 minutes later.
"..."
"No result... I can't even feel the energy, and I can't touch myself to prove if I'm really a Devil Fruit user. But I know my body is much more powerful than my peers; maybe I only lose to that Senju girl..."
Minato knew that no one started strong in the world of One Piece, but the potential was always imnse for everyone in that world, only that 99% of the population didn't know how to harness it. Even so, compared to the ninjas, especially children who couldn't use chakra to strengthen their bodies, Minato had a significant natural advantage.
"Nothing with my Logia; maybe I should train sothing else..." He thought frustrated. So, as Minato had a brilliant idea to start his Observation Haki yesterday, he brought a blindfold, tying it around his eyes. He planned to run to try to activate his Observation Haki while dodging trees in the forest.
"Let's get started!" He said and began to run.
"HM!?"
*Thud*
"OUCH!! That hurt!" Minato grumbled; he took five steps and hit a tree.
"I can't even have my light body to avoid damage. I'm completely screwed here..." He grumbled.
"But it doesn't matter; let's do it here. I have many years to develop still, and I want to start with Observation Haki, so this pain is necessary. I'll continue until I learn!" The boy muttered to himself in the middle of the forest while trying to ease the pain in his forehead after hitting that tree.
Minato stood up, and even with his eyes blindfolded, he still showed determination and began to run again.
*Thud*
"Darn! That hurts too much!"
