Chapter 1

As a穿越者 (穿越者, time traveler), Chiba Shiro felt that he should have the basic qualities of a穿越者 (穿越者, time traveler).

Remaining calm and quickly integrating into a new world is the most important task at present.

Despite the many unscientific aspects of this world, such as seeing people on the street jump like fleas, reaching the rooftops of buildings eight or nine meters high in just a few bounds, and even spewing flames from their mouths or summoning water out of nowhere...

These scenes, which transcend reality, had more than once left Shiro speechless.

What kind of magical world is this?

Supermen?

The key is that there is not just one superman. In this village called Konoha, there are countless such supermen.

Only after this did Shiro learn that these people, who seem like 'supermen,' are actually called 'ninjas.'

They use a special energy called chakra, and their astonishing jumping ability and the ability to perform various incredible ninja techniques all depend on chakra.

After a few days of adaptation, Shiro finally understood that he had arrived in a world that was no ordinary place.

He also had a very detailed understanding of his current identity.

In Konoha, he is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage until he turned six, when he was found to have the potential to become a ninja and was released from the orphanage to live independently.

The time when Shiro took over this body was exactly the day he left the orphanage.

This made Shiro inwardly complain, what kind of lousy orphanage is this, kicking him out at the age of six?

Isn't it just letting him fend for himself?

According to the information provided by the orphanage, his parents were killed in battle shortly after his birth. It is said that both of them were under twenty years old when they died, and their remains could not be found, leaving only their names carved on the memorial stone.

Therefore, the village leadership still provided Shiro with many conveniences in life. After he left the orphanage, his tuition for the ninja school was waived, and he received a monthly allowance. All of his parents' inheritance would also be passed on to him.

From this perspective, Shiro felt that Konoha still had a bit of human warmth.

However, everything must be considered from a comprehensive perspective. Over the past few days, Shiro had more than once heard some gossip on the streets of Konoha.

The result was a very frightening conclusion.

As long as one is a formal ninja, regardless of age, they must follow the arrangements of the village leadership and go to the battlefield to fight the enemy.

According to Shiro's observations, since it is currently the Second Great Ninja War, Konoha sends a large number of children under ten years old to the battlefield every year.

Ten years old?

Even younger than ten?

To the battlefield?

You must be kidding!

How can children under ten be sent to the battlefield?

It is said that some children as young as six or seven, due to their excellent potential, graduate from the ninja school early and are sent directly to the battlefield...

Despair and confusion immediately filled Shiro's heart.

How dire must the front lines of Konoha be to send children under twelve to the battlefield?

Are they crazy?

Is this Konoha... actually a terrorist organization?

Did I enter a terrorist organization?

Thinking of this possibility, Shiro looked at the admission notice for the ninja school in his hand, his eyes showing a complex expression, and he sat on the ground with a somewhat dejected look.

I'm doomed, I must have entered a terrorist organization!

Once I enter the ninja school, not only will I be taught various terrifying killing techniques, but I will probably be brainwashed and turned into a killing tool for the village leadership...

Looking at the beautiful village under the sunlight, Shiro felt a chill run down his spine.

Run?

Where to run?

The strength of the ninjas is just the tip of the iceberg, and they can crush him like an ant. Shiro doesn't think he can escape from this terrorist organization now.

After a fierce internal struggle, Shiro decided to take it one step at a time and wait for the right opportunity to escape from this village.

Konoha Year 30, April.

Ninja School.

Not long after leaving the orphanage, Shiro had to go to the ninja school, which was his only way out.

Shiro also accepted the extremely dangerous situation he was in. Konoha is a terrorist organization, and before he has enough strength, he must not raise suspicion or provoke suspicion.

One wrong move, and he would be suspected and secretly dealt with by those around him.

Therefore, Shiro also became wary of the seemingly harmless villagers around him.

He increasingly felt that the kind and friendly smiles on the faces of these simple villagers were cunning, fox-like, and demonic, while he was like an innocent and harmless rabbit.

Each of their faces seemed to be filled with the desire to devour him, their teeth stained with blood and sin.

This was Shiro's reasonable analysis of his current situation.

Shiro mixed with the crowd and entered the ninja school. It was eight o'clock in the morning, and some children, like Shiro, came alone, while others were accompanied by their parents.

The scene was very lively, like a market fair.

Shiro did not choose to stand silently on the side, emitting an aura that was out of place with the environment.

Such a move would be foolish.

He must not draw attention to himself; he must be ordinary and unremarkable, and must not stand out.

Before officially entering the class, Shiro and the other new students had to attend the opening ceremony.

The so-called opening ceremony was extremely simple, just a section of the school's playground where several hundred new students were lined up by height to face the adults' long and tedious speeches.

The speaker on the stage was a middle-aged man in a priestly robe, with a warm and infectious smile.

Shiro knew that this middle-aged man in the priestly robe was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The current leader of the terrorist organization Konoha.

A terrifying man who inherited the will of the first two leaders of the terrorist organization, the First Hokage and the Second Hokage.

Involuntarily, Shiro labeled the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's harmless and friendly smile as extremely dangerous.

The content of Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech, in Shiro's view, was very boring and dull.

It was just like a pyramid scheme.

How the Will of Fire is great.

Konoha is bright.

We are all one big family.

Then, from a historical perspective, he elaborated on the great achievements of the previous Hokages, praising them to the skies, which resonated with everyone present.

Except for Shiro.

But to avoid drawing attention, Shiro also showed the same excited and admiring look as the others, as if he were truly moved by the achievements of the previous Hokages.

This is called political correctness!
