Saving Little Chick Tian

Land of Fire, Konoha Village.

The winter in this world was exceptionally cold; heavy snow drifted through the air, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

"Damn it, where did this brat come from, meddling in our business?"

"He's not very tall, but he's got some nerve. Get him!"

Three tall boys, six or seven years old, looked at a boy with a lazy expression and spoke with fury.

Three seconds later, the three boys ran away crying:

"Waaah... you actually hit me, I'm going to tell my mom!"

"Waaah... you actually flicked my junk, I don't want to live anymore..."

The lazy-looking boy clapped his hands in boredom and sighed, "They're not even that old, yet they like bullying girls. I don't know what they're thinking."

After saying that with disdain, Nara Lu Yu turned his head to glance at the little girl standing not far behind him, who was watching him.

The little girl had exquisite, pretty short hair, a faint blush on her delicate face, and her eyes were stealing glances at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu naturally knew who this little girl was—Hyuga Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan's main house.

Glancing back at Hyuga Hinata, Lu Yu turned and walked away. "It's best for a girl to have someone protecting her when she's out; being alone is very dangerous..."

With that said, Lu Yu walked away with a carefree air.

Hyuga Hinata's bright little eyes watched Lu Yu's retreating back, wondering what she was thinking.

Lu Yu walked straight down the road for a while, turned a corner, and saw his younger brother, Shikamaru, waiting for him.

"Hey, hey, I say, big brother Lu Yu, I've been waiting here for a long time. Let's hurry home; it's cold outside, and Mom has already finished cooking."

Lu Yu nodded. "Mm, let's go home, Shikamaru. In this hellish weather, it's still most comfortable to just lie down at home."

"Big brother, if you keep lying down at home, I'm afraid Mom is going to explode..."

"Ah, what a drag..."

Though Lu Yu said it was a drag, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Heaven had truly been kind to him. An orphan in his previous life, he had been reincarnated into the Naruto world, and what's more, he had become Shikamaru's twin brother.

Compared to his past life, this Lu Yu felt the meticulous care of his father, Nara Shikaku, and his mother, Yoshino.

If that were all, it would be one thing, but the key was that Lu Yu had inexplicably acquired the physical constitution of Saitama.

The great earthquake in Konoha Village three years ago had been caused by Lu Yu, who, curious about his own destructive power, had punched the mountain behind Konoha.

Fortunately, Lu Yu had shown some restraint with his punch, causing only a small area of houses to collapse.

From that day on, Lu Yu had completely begun a "salted fish" life—if he could sit, he would never stand; if he could lie down, he would never sit.

The Shikaku couple could do nothing about their eldest son; the little guy was smart, learned things quickly, and was especially good at reading the situation.

Whenever Yoshino got angry, Lu Yu would run faster than anyone, leaving the couple feeling quite helpless.

After Lu Yu and Shikamaru returned home, the family enjoyed a delicious hot pot meal.

During the meal, Shikaku looked at his two sons and said happily, "Lu Yu, Shikamaru, I have some good news for you. Tomorrow is the entrance exam for the Ninja Academy. You remember what I told you before, right?"

Shikaku placed the Ninja Academy entrance notification on the table, eyeing the two of them with interest.

As a result, the two brothers, who had been eating meat with great enthusiasm, slumped their heads in unison upon hearing this and spoke in perfect sync:

"Ahhh, we know, what a drag!"

Nara Yoshino, sitting to the side, had veins bulging on her forehead as she glared at the two of them with a menacing look.

Feeling their mother's killing intent, the two of them shivered instinctively.

Lu Yu, with a strong desire to survive, said, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. It's just a simple entrance exam, right? Your son will definitely get a perfect score to make you proud!"

Nara Yoshino nodded, then looked at Shikamaru with a menacing glare. "Shikamaru, what about you?"

"Ah... I'll be just like my brother and get a perfect score to make you proud!"

"Mm, that's more like it."

Watching their mother nod in satisfaction, the two of them let out a breath of relief, still feeling a lingering fear.

Shikaku looked at his two sons, smiled helplessly, and continued, "Go to sleep early tonight. We are in a peaceful era now, so the pass rate for Ninja Academy students won't be too low."

"Tomorrow's assessment likely won't be simple. You two little ones had better pass, or someone is going to be very angry..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu and Shikamaru snuck a glance at their mother, then shoveled two more mouthfuls of food into their mouths before bolting away as if fleeing for their lives.

Watching the two boys obediently head back to their rooms, Shikaku couldn't help but whisper to his wife:

"You shouldn't always be so fierce. If you keep this up, the kids won't feel close to you anymore. They're growing up and have their own ideas..."

"Hmph? Do you think I want to be? It's because you've spoiled them rotten. At such a young age, they've already developed such lazy habits; they lie in bed even more soundly than I did during my postpartum recovery. They need to be sent to the Ninja Academy quickly so someone can properly discipline them..."

As Yoshino Nara said this, she seemed to recall something, and a look of worry appeared on her face:

"By the way, do you think the teachers at the Ninja Academy will hit our sons? I haven't even had the heart to truly hit them myself..."

Shikaku watched his wife begin to fret again and sighed helplessly. Love truly does cloud one's judgment...
