This World's Children

During dinner, Danzo looked at the panda-eyed Bing San and frowned slightly, asking, "Did you get into a fight?"

Bing San quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it was a taijutsu class."

Danzo narrowed his eyes, nodded, and then said, "Whose child was your opponent?"

Bing San twitched the corners of his slightly stiff mouth and said, "It was that fat monkey of Asuma's!"

Actually, Asuma wasn't fat, just a little chubby!

Danzo's expression turned a little grim as he asked, "You lost?"

Seeing Danzo's expression, Bing San suddenly remembered that the Third Hokage and Danzo had always been slightly superior to Danzo.

Bing San quickly replied, "I won. I knocked out Asuma's front teeth."

Immediately, Bing San began to vividly recount his "heroic" battle achievements.

After so long, Bing San had a general understanding of Danzo's temperament.

As long as he was pleased, you could do whatever you wanted. Once you went against Danzo's wishes, you wouldn't be far from death!

He boasted extravagantly, even pulling out all the tricks of a crosstalk performer.

However, in reality, Bing San was just a weakling. Being mature in thought didn't mean you were good at fighting.

Bing San had only practiced randomly for a while; he didn't know the first thing about fighting.

So, the two of them just threw random punches at each other. Because he was small, Bing San got hit in the face. Asuma was unlucky and was hit on the chin, triggering the Rozan Sho Ryu Ha. He was sent flying and lost a tooth.

Danzo was amused by Bing San's flashy words and his mood improved considerably. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and let out a chuckle!

He even ate an extra bowl of rice for breakfast.

After dinner, Shimura Yujin came to teach Bing San taijutsu. Looking at the panda-eyed Bing San, he frowned and said, "Who hit you? Why didn't you protect your face when you were fighting!"

Bing San once again vividly recounted his "glorious" battle achievements.

Shimura Yujin's face twitched, and he chuckled a few times, saying, "Next time, remember to protect your face. Don't let them mess up your handsome little face."

After a moment of silence, he added, "Next time you meet Asuma, just grab his eyeballs and kick him in the crotch, and you're guaranteed to win!"

Bing San's mouth twitched, and he thought: You're trying to make me an enemy of Asuma, aren't you!

Time passed quickly, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

In the morning, the entire village felt a bit strange. He didn't know what these adults were up to. Obito wasn't late today, but Kakashi was unexpectedly absent from school.

Bing San narrowed his eyes. Did Danzo kill Hatake Sakumo?

After school, Bing San, Asuma, Namiashi Raidō, and Morino Ibiki walked home together. They all lived nearby.

At the school entrance, they saw Uchiha Feng and his sister Uchiha Yue, along with Hyuga Kuji and Hyuga Go, surrounded by seven or eight raggedly dressed children!

A child about ten years old pointed at the four of them arrogantly and said:

"No matter what the reason, you hateful children of noble clans dared to hit my brother, so I will definitely not let you off."

With that, the boy grabbed a stick and was about to attack.

Hyuga Kuji said to the others next to him impatiently:

"Go, you've caused trouble for me again. I'll deal with you when we get home."

Then, the two sides began to fight. However, it was clear that the opposing children were much older, and Hyuga Kuji and the other three were outnumbered and seemed likely to suffer.

Asuma, carrying his schoolbag, was about to step forward to help, but Namiashi Raidō stopped him and said calmly, "They always look down on us. Why should we help them?"

Asuma looked a bit stunned and said, "But we're classmates."

Morino Ibiki also grabbed Asuma's schoolbag and said, "They don't consider us classmates.

Have you ever seen them look at us properly?

They just keep calling us 'commoners,' 'commoners.' Hmph."

As expected, the children in the Naruto world were very precocious.

At this moment, Hyuga Kuji shouted: "Eight Trigrams Palm, Twelve Palms."

Hyuga Go also shouted: "Eight Trigrams Palm, Eight Palms."

Uchiha Feng landed a powerful spinning kick, taking down two of them.

Even the weak girl Uchiha Yue managed to knock one down!

Uchiha Yue's hair was a bit messy, Hyuga Go had a scrape on his face, and the other two were just a bit dirty, looking somewhat disheveled.

Hyuga Kuji, still with a gentle tone, said to the children lying on the ground: "Trash should know its place. If I see you again, I won't let you off so easily this time!

Do you understand? Now get lost."

The leader's eyes trembled as he got up and shouted:

"You wait! My older brother is a genin. When my brother comes back, he will definitely avenge me."

With that, he turned and ran, not even caring about his little brothers groaning on the ground.

"Oh, my dear classmates, were you about to ambush us just now?"

Hyuga Kuji, with his head tilted, looked at Bing San and the others with a sarcastic tone.

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you guys go. Hurry home and go drink milk," Hyuga Kuji said with a fake, hypocritical smile, his voice sinister.

Asuma was furious on the spot. "What did you say? We were just thinking of helping you."

Uchiha Feng chimed in:

"Ahaha, this loser saying he wants to help us? That's hilarious."

"Go home and drink milk, losers should act like losers," Hyuga Go said, dusting the ashes off his clothes.

"Let's go, Mom's going to be angry if we don't get home," Hyuga Kuji said with a smile, glancing at Bing San and the others before pulling Hyuga Go away.

"This is infuriating! Namiashi Raidō, don't hold me back! I'll show them what I'm capable of!" Asuma struggled a few times but couldn't break free. The four children had already walked away.

Bing San, instead of being angry, fell into deep thought. This world was different from the one he knew; these ninjas were nothing like Hokage.

After returning home and during dinner, Bing San, for the first time, mustered the courage to tell Danzo about what happened today.

Danzo listened and simply said, "If you want respect, you need the strength of a powerful individual, or you must hold supreme authority.

Do boots care about the lives of ants?"

With that, Danzo shook his head slightly and continued eating.

Bing San nervously brought up the fact that Kakashi hadn't attended school today.

Danzo frowned, his expression turning gloomy once more!

After practicing taijutsu in the evening, he sat in his room cultivating Chakra. It was past midnight when he was about to sleep, and he heard a noise outside. Bing San curiously went out to investigate.

A Root Ninja was reporting something in a low voice, with over a dozen Root Ninjas standing at attention behind him, like human weapons.

Soon, they all left with rustling sounds. Bing San cautiously crept closer, only to be grabbed by the back of his neck and dragged away by Shimura Yujin.

Shimura Yujin simply shook his head and left without saying a word.

After a while, Bing San's curiosity got the better of him, and he crept back to Danzo's door.

He could faintly hear Danzo inside tearing something and muttering "Monkey" and other things.

Bing San secretly peeked his head in, but Danzo spotted him.

"Come in."

Bing San said nervously:

"Y-yes, my deepest apologies, Lord Danzo. I just heard a noise."

Danzo looked at Bing San's face and finally just told him not to eavesdrop on his conversations again before letting him go.

Danzo, that man, was full of contradictions.
