Konoha Village, Hokage's Office.
Boom!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was immersed in the documents and handling one trivial matter after another carefully, heard the knock on the door and answered without raising his head.
"Come in."
Click, squeak——
"Lord Hokage, mission accomplished."
"Thank you for your hard work." Third Hokage nodded and expressed condolences while taking the scroll.
"No, it's not hard."
The young ninja at the head quickly shook his head.
Seeing the ninja's body with more than one bandage and bleeding wounds, Hiruzen Sarutobi also sighed in his heart and lamented Konoha's current situation.
This is a team that returned from an investigation mission at the border between Land of Fire and Land of Hot Water. The content of the mission was to investigate some small actions of Hidden Cloud Village at the border of Konoha.
Although Third Shinobi World War came to an end last year, some minor conflicts did not stop. Hidden Cloud Village is one of the people in the village who is entangled with Konoha.
After hearing the news about the sacrifices of Konoha, Nine-Tails' Rampage, and Fourth Hokage, it is reasonable for the other party to increase the intensity of the trouble. It would be the same if it were him, and he would kill you while you are sick.
Seeing that the three-man team had not left, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that the other party had something else to do, and his eyes slightly shifted to look at the four-year-old little boy with his head lowered due to the unhealthy and pathological appearance of the white boy from the days of traveling.
The boy has short gray-green hair. Although he feels a little wilted at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi still feels a bit of vitality from his big, drooping blue eyes.
Especially the boy's eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked like a Fourth Hokage that had just been sacrificed, with blue eyes like pure glass balls.
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, the leading ninja handed over the boy's information.
"Kōzuki Clan..."
Looking at the little boy's information, Hiruzen Sarutobi once again sighed in his heart. This Kōzuki Clan himself had an impression.
Although he is not a ninja, he is just a farmer with hundreds of acres of land and dozens of cows, but he subsidizes most of the food for Konoha every year. Last year's war was barely able to be fought thanks to several years of harvests donated by the Kōzuki Clan for free.
Although he is not a ninja, Will of Fire is burning!
"The village..." Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
Hearing the sound, the leading ninja shook his head and glanced at the little boy who was still a little distracted.
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly felt a pang in his heart. Konoha This marginal farming village was so slaughtered that only a little boy was left?
"Chloe, right?" Hiruzen Sarutobi got up and walked slowly to little Chloe with both parties on his back. He tried his best to put away his sadness and pretend to be kind, "Just live in Konoha Village from now on. The people here are your family."
Chloe still didn't speak, with his head lowered and his eyes looking dead.
Seeing the other party like this, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who mistakenly thought that the child was still unable to let go of seeing his relatives being slaughtered, squatted down in front of Chloe and took Chloe into his arms with a pair of experienced hands.
"System, what should we do at this time?" What expression is appropriate?"
"Cry, cry loud!"
"Wow——!"
At this moment, Chloe raised his head and howled loudly with a cry. Big tears were desperately flowing down his cheeks. The torrent of sadness swept through the entire Hokage's office in an instant!
Everyone present was affected by the young man's sadness, and the three ninjas who had saved him for thousands of years all clenched their fists and mentally rebuked the ruthless enemy!
The four-year-old child hiding under the floor saw with his own eyes his parents, friendly neighbors and daily friends were slaughtered by strange ninjas. No one present could bear to imagine how deep the shadow left on the little heart was!
Looking at Chloe who didn't care about the occasion and finally no longer suppressed the grief in his heart and howled loudly in Hokage's office, several ninjas also admired Hokage who was getting stronger with age, getting stronger with age, and was not old at all... ahem, Hokage!
During the few days on the road, Chloe didn't say a word to him the whole time. He didn't think about food or tea. He always looked like he was lost. No matter how much he comforted him, there was no response.
But for my own Lord Hokage, a loving hug melted the ice in Chloe's heart and opened Chloe's heart. It was really... amazing!
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not show any irritation after hearing Chloe's sad cry, but gently patted his back with his hand.
Because he is a civilian who has shown great kindness to Konoha, so perhaps out of concern for the descendants of the hero, the room given to Chloe in the orphanage... is a single room!!
You must know that other war orphans sleep in Datong bungalows, and a single room is considered the top treatment in the orphanage!
Black Zetsu... ah no, the boy who should be called Mitsuki·Chloe was lying on the wooden bed in the single room, which was a little hard but filled with the warmth of Will of Fire and Konoha Village, and was quietly flipping through a book named Expression Management Master.
In fact, this matter started one and a half months ago.
That day, Obito's melon boy was so confused that he couldn't stop his wife from coming to Konoha to celebrate the birth of her child. Although it didn't have any serious problems with her plan, she felt that it was still a bit risky and she persuaded her to do so.
Do you really think you are invincible?
Konoha The predecessor Hokage and the current Hokage are both here, and there are many capable people. What if you haven't been exposed?
This Obito not only refused to listen, but also insisted on going!
But he didn't expect it to succeed for him. Seeing his master give birth to a child made him so happy and excited, as if he was giving birth not to his master's child but to his own child!
At that time, Obito, who was so excited that he forgot about himself, also said how could such a big day not be popular? So red became the theme color of the delivery room (referring to Third Hokage's wife).
With a face full of enthusiasm, Obito looked at the yellow-haired little boy he had picked up (grabbed), who had not even been hugged by his own father. Obito was getting more and more excited, and even felt that just giving the delivery room a festive color was not enough to express his inner excitement!
Therefore, Obito immediately decided that a celebration program must be added! And it is a program that everyone Konoha Village can see, and even become famous throughout Shinobi World in the future!
So, that night, Nine-Tails, who was known as Shinobi World's strongest tailed beast and had a festive look, was pulled out by Obito to perform. The whole Konoha Village... the whole Shinobi World was shocked by it!
If there were paparazzi in this world who captured that scene, the recent headlines would be like this -
"Shocked the whole world! Land of Fire Konoha Fourth Hokage's disciples used Nine-Tails to celebrate the birth of their master's son!"
"Look at other people's disciples, and then look at your own disciples!"
"When you accept a disciple, you should accept a masked man!"
"A certain Fourth Kazekage who did not want to be named publicly dissed Konoha and the masked man, saying that you Konoha are rich and amazing? You show off your wealth all day long (the whole job)!
Konoha responded that having money is great! Houses can be demolished at will, and people can die at will! We don't have much, we just have a lot of money and a lot of talent! There's simply no way to spend it all! "
Then Fourth Kazekage cursed and threw away the microphone and exited the live broadcast room.
Ahem, I got off track, back to the text.
It is said that that night, Akatsuki Organization's black and white one was left alone. He just learned from White Zetsu who was investigating that Obito successfully celebrated the master's child's birthday, and suddenly a voice appeared in his mind!
"Ask a question, do you think Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is wrong?"
Huh?! Black Zetsu was instantly startled. Looking at the other half and the half-buried probing White Zetsu, the two of them seemed to have heard nothing but themselves!
Could it be that someone noticed me?
He even mentioned my mother's name. Who is using Genjutsu on me?!
Black Zetsu, who was getting more and more frightened as he thought about it, hurriedly looked around, but... there was no reaction from Chakra! And it doesn't look like I've been hit by Genjutsu!
"Last question, Black Zetsu, do you think Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was wrong?"
Black Zetsu, who was getting more and more panicked, no longer cared about anything else, roared in his heart and replied: That's right! There is nothing wrong with my mom!
"Your answer has been received and the conditions have been met."
Ding——!
"Your Ninja Reputation System is online and Beginner's Gift Pack has been distributed!"
Black Zetsu was stunned, what on earth is this? What is Ninja Reputation System? What is Beginner's Gift Pack?
After the mechanical female voice in his mind stopped, Black Zetsu was still a little confused and couldn't figure out what had just happened, but then he saw a small light spot floating in the lower right corner in front of him.
"Did you... hear something just now?"
"Huh?" The white half was stunned for a moment, "What?"
"Then can you see anything strange in front of you now?"
White Zetsu, who was half buried in the ground, immediately became unhappy and said, "Hey, White Zetsu looks so weird, don't you also look weird? When you are sarcastic about others, why don't you first pee and look in the mirror? By the way... you don't seem to have this function, and neither do I, hahahaha..."
Knowing that neither of them could see the light spot, Black Zetsu thought twice before reaching out and clicking the light spot. The moment the light spot was clicked, a light curtain the size of an A4 paper appeared in front of Black Zetsu!
The cautious Black Zetsu first observed the performance of White Zetsu. Judging from the performance of White Zetsu, the other party should not be able to see this light curtain. Currently, the only one who can see it is himself!
"Viewing System for the first time. Sign in successfully. Three ninja reputation points will be awarded."
The mechanical female voice without any emotion sounded in Black Zetsu's mind again, but Black Zetsu did not panic this time, because at this moment, he was already attracted by the content on the interface!
Ninja Reputation, Reputation Mall, Quests and... Beginner's Gift Pack in the warehouse.
The more I look at Black Zetsu, the more frightened I am. Although I don't know what it is, the items in Point Shop including Rinnegan, Tenseigan, Ōtsutsuki Artificial Body and God Tree Seed are really eye-catching!
However, we should not take it lightly and be blinded by this kind of thing!
You still have to ask yourself what's going on!
