Problem Children's Home

Alternate Dimension.

Training room.

"Bang bang--!"

The beautiful woman with curly blonde hair, Delta, is venting her anger on the training dummies in the training room!

"That Kashin Koji is such a coward! If he hadn't dragged me away last time, I would definitely have captured the Sixth Hokage alive..."

"This is absolutely outrageous! I've never been treated like this before!"

Delta grew angrier and angrier, and finally, with a "bang!", he smashed the extremely resilient training dummy to pieces!

From a dark corner of the training room, a mocking voice rang out. "Delta, is boasting all you've got left?"

Delta didn't need to turn around to know who it was, and growled unhappily, "Code, you'd better not mess with me now! Because I really will tear you to pieces! (*Ӧ)σ"

To this, the red-haired Code remained completely unconcerned. "Whatever, I won't lose to you."

Delta turned around, her gaze fixed on Code's obnoxious face. "Don't tell me you can swallow this!"

"The prestigious Kara ran this far without even seeing the enemy's face!"

"The crucial 'container' for this key organization has also been taken over by Konoha!"

Code: "This is Jigen's decision, I'll listen to him."

Delta was displeased. "That's true, but... I just can't swallow this! I'll have a serious talk with Jigen! If that doesn't work, I'll force my way into Konoha and bring the 'weapon' back!"

Code shrugged. "Go if you want, but I can't leave the base easily."

While the two were talking, a burly man in a Black Robe appeared in the training room.

Delta's eyes seemed to hold a hint of disgust as she looked at everyone, silently sweeping over the burly man in Black Robes. "Boro, what are you doing here?"

In response to Delta's question, the burly Boro chuckled, "I heard you intend to force your way into Konoha to reclaim the 'Vessel,' so I came to give you a heads-up: Konoha isn't so easy to enter..."

"Trust me, I've spent more time active in the Shinobi World than any of you..."

Delta gave a mocking laugh, "You've been active for so many years, and you still haven't managed to overthrow Konoha."

"Oh, right, I heard Konoha even gave all the Ninjas portraits of Kara members... You're a wanted criminal now, how are you supposed to get around? (σ≧︎▽︎≦︎)σ."

To this, Boro remained calm. "It's alright, Transformation Technique is the simplest... Besides, my followers are all extremely loyal. (๑ت๑)"

Delta: "Give me a break!"

Konoha Second Orphanage.

Kabuto, the dean, frowned as he looked at the newly arrived problem child from the Anbu...

"What's your name?" Dou tried to communicate amicably with the boy who was bound hand and foot with Vines.

As expected, the boy turned his head away. "Hmph!"

Don't expect to get any useful information from me! ꐦ≖ ≖

Dou felt a bit of a headache. "Why is Shinki throwing all sorts of people at me...?"

Just then, Yakushi Nonō returned from her shopping trip.

Upon seeing the boy bound hand and foot, Nonō looked puzzled. "This boy doesn't seem aggressive at all, why are you tying him up?"

Kabuto repeated what the Anbu had said when they delivered him, "He's being coveted by a mysterious organization in the Shinobi World, so he's a bit sensitive..."

Nonō: "I see... Since the Lord Hokage sent him to the Orphanage, it means he wants us to teach him well... Let's untie him. (๑ت๑)"

Upon hearing this, the boy looked surprised...

Soon, the Anbu contacted the Hokage's Office, Shinki untied the Vines binding the boy.

The moment the restraints were lifted, the boy immediately revealed his ferocious nature, like a wild beast freed from its cage!

"Whoosh!"

He raised his right fist and slammed it towards the seemingly most vulnerable Yakushi Nonō!

However, just as the boy leaped into the air, he was entangled and bound by the swarm of snakes released by Dou!

Boy: ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞

Even a random Orphanage director in Konoha is this strong?!

Beside him, Dou pointed at the boy with displeasure. "Why are you still repaying kindness with enmity! Go hungry for a couple of meals! (눈益눈)"

Yakushi Nonō patiently said, "Young man, this is Konoha Second Orphanage. We won't hurt you..."

The boy glared defiantly, his eyes wide. "I'm not going to give in! (｡•ˇ‸ˇ•｡)"

As if she hadn't heard the boy's words, Nonō continued, "I still don't know your name."

The boy turned his head.

He didn't want to talk to the people of Konoha!

Also, he hates his own name!

His name was given to him by his father, who then personally sold him to the Kara to undergo all sorts of inhumane experiments...

His simple name encapsulates too many of his humiliating and unbearable past experiences!

In the silence, Nonō spoke up first, "Then I'll give you another name."

The boy remained silent, Nonō took as agreement, and continued, "Your arrival in Konoha marks a new beginning, so let's call you 'First Life'..."

Dou's expression changed. "Newborn... Could this be the mother's hidden meaning?"

"Um, how about we choose another one?"

Nonō nodded. "Then you think of one."

Dou casually suggested, "Let's call it Shūichi Month, it's short and clear!"

Nonō agreed, glancing at the boy beside her. Seeing no obvious resistance, Nonō grinned and said, "In that case, it's settled! Have you eaten, kid? I'll cook you some porridge!"

The Hokage's Office.

Shinki received a new message from the Orphanage: "Chu Shūichi, huh? That's a better name than mine..."

Shikamaru nodded in agreement, "His skill level is far superior to yours!"

Shinki: "... You don't have to be so blunt."

Shikamaru's expression suddenly turned serious, and he continued, "You know this boy is extremely important to the Kara, so why are you still raising him in the village...? What if the Kara attacks..."

Shinki shrugged. "Actually, my thinking is very simple. I've seen Defensive Fortifications all over Konoha, as well as Chakra Identification and Sensing System. It would be difficult for even a fly to get in... Besides, Kabuto is also very strong..."

Shikamaru murmured, "That's true, but..."

Shinki raised his hand. "Don't worry, I'm still here... By the way, could you arrange for Qing and the fat guy we captured a couple of days ago? I want to see their memories..."

"I really didn't expect Ao to join Kara. Shikamaru, have you informed Kirigakure about this?"

Shikamaru nodded. "Of course, the Mizukage apologized on the phone and said he would personally visit soon..."

Shikamaru had just finished speaking.

"Whoosh!"

An Anbu appeared in the Hokage's Office, knelt on the ground, and reported, "Lord Hokage, the two Kara members you brought back yesterday committed suicide in Prison."
