Chapter 4 (Patreon)

- Die on the battlefield? No, I just want to have the strength to survive in this world,” Yu said, looking at the funny Urushi and Momoki.

“However, you have no idea how terrible the future of this world will be,” he added to himself.

Then he smiled, remembering that now he has a chance to survive wars and even become the strongest.

“I will definitely find a way to get puppet equipment,” he promised himself.

“Okay Urushi, Momoka, stop it, it’s late, let’s go back, Nono will worry about us,” at this time Yu reminded them that it was already quite late and that they needed to hurry back.

Momoka and Urushi stopped at the same moment and looked at Yu with a surprised look.

- Did I just hear Momoka or did our Yu, who always thinks about training, ask us to come back earlier? Urushi asked with a slightly dramatic tone.

“Yes, Urushi, you heard everything correctly,” Momoka supported him with exaggerated surprise.

- Guys, that's enough! – Yu answered, embarrassed by their teasing, he just wanted to return quickly so that he could study the abilities of the Thread Man.

After that, having collected shurikens and kunai, the quartet left the field and headed to the orphanage.

And so, when the sun was almost hidden behind the mountains, the guys reached Konoha. And after a couple of minutes, they reached the meeting place discussed with the director.

Since now was the time when the third war had just recently begun, the remains of kunai and shuriken could be seen in various places, as well as many traces of various types of ninjutsu.

After arriving, they immediately noticed a figure in the distance waiting for them. This figure was the director of the orphanage, Yakushi Nono.

"Sister!" - Seeing Nono, all the children ran towards her with all their might.

“Momoka, Urushi, Mayuna, you’ve finally returned, oh Yu, you’re here too,” Nono said looking at them with a gentle gaze.

Nono was a blonde-haired girl, with a white scarf draped over her head and a black dress, it made her look a little like the nun from the church from Yu's past life.

This girl always had a gentle, loving smile on her face, and was the director of an orphanage in Konoha.

A year ago, at one of the places where the conflict broke out, the Third Shinobi World War, it was she who picked up Yu and brought her to the Konoha shelter.

This kind-hearted woman, always with a gentle smile on her face, was not only the director of the Konoha Orphanage as everyone saw her, but also had another personality known as:

"Wandering Miko."

Naturally, only a few knew about this second personality of Nono; Yu knew this only because he was from another world and knew the history of the Naruto world.

Nono is a jōnin and captain of the Konoha Medical Corps, in addition to being a former member of the Root, a secret unit run by Danzō. Nono was an elite shinobi, she skillfully collected various types of information and had excellent command of medical jutsu.

But that’s in the past, she left the Root in order to work in an orphanage and look after children.

Looking at Director Yu, who was very grateful to this woman, was in a difficult situation. It’s just that Yu had the soul of an adult and could not, like other children, sincerely throw himself into the arms of this woman.

- A? Who is this guy? – Urushi asked in surprise, noticing a boy with gray hair behind Nono.

After his words, Yu and the others looked behind Nono, and indeed, leaning against a tree there was a small boy standing there, shyly looking in their direction.

However, the boy had a head wound and some of his hair was already stained with it. It was clear that Nono had already used medical jutsu, but it seemed that some more medical equipment was needed to fully heal.

“This is a child from the village that recently rebelled,” looking towards where the village was located, Nono revealed a slightly lost look.

- Sister, his head is bleeding, we’ll do it! - at this time Urushi approached the child and, after examining his wound, asked: “Sister, will he survive?”

“Don’t say such terrible things to Urushi, his wound is much lighter than the one you had then,” Nono scolded him.

Looking at the child with gray hair, a gentle smile appeared on Nona’s face.

“Don’t worry, I can still use some medical jutsu,” saying this, she carefully placed her hand, glowing green, on the child’s head.

“Director Nono, please allow me, you have already spent a lot of chakra,” seeing the faint light of the healing jutsu, Yu immediately understood the reason why Nono did not immediately cure this child.

The other children looked with surprise and some fear as Yu stopped Nono’s hand with his small hand. But Yu didn’t pay attention to this, he immediately began to make hand seals.

“Healing Technique” - by the time everyone reacted, the technique was already ready and running. Pale green chakra light blossomed in Yu's hands.

Nono and the others were surprised, only a year had passed, and Yu was already able to master this technique.

Nono’s face expressed disbelief: “Yu little one, are you already so skilled at using this technique?”

Urushi, who was standing nearby, changed his face greatly when he saw Nono’s gaze.

"Liar! Yu, you are a deceiver, you already know how to use ninjutsu, but you never told us anything.” - I was indignant in my heart.
