Konoha Ninja Village, in a very remote corner, has many buildings that look old. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It looks like it was a few decades ago, and on the walls, you can see children's innocent graffiti. Although some of the houses are also very scary, they are listed as forbidden areas by children.

But exploring the forbidden area is also something for these children to prove their bravery.

It can be said that this place carries the joy of batches of children in this village.

Other than that...... In this orphanage, there is a place that cannot be compared to other orphanages. Because in this orphanage, there is one of the most special things, and that is called hope.

This is also the one thing that children here yearn for the most, whether they are flamboyant, withdrawn, irritable, or quiet. They all know one thing, each and every one of them...... All have the potential to become ninjas.

Of course, compared to Konoha's ninja school, basically every child can go to it. They can only compete with other children for opportunities, and they have to go through several screenings for talent before they can be selected for the ninja school.

Of course...... For children with very strong talents, it is possible for them to go to an even more enviable place. No one knows where it is, but they know that anyone who comes out of that place can wear a cool mask.

No matter how lively a person was before, after coming out of there, he will become a very cold person, and become a powerful ninja who is respected by others.

All the kids longed for it there, and it wasn't until the big red-haired brother came here that things changed.

The red-haired elder brother told them that if they worked hard, they could be chosen by him to become his disciple.

Of course, so far, no child has been able to achieve such glory. All they knew was that the big brother and his sister, as well as the big sister, had sponsored many children with ninja talents to go to ninja schools.

And you don't have to worry about ninja tools and ninjutsu scrolls. Even when someone bullied them at the ninja school, telling the big brother could easily settle these things.

Although the big brother didn't look much older than them, almost every child knew that even if the big brother went to the ninja school once in a while, their teachers not only treated the big brother as an equal, but sometimes even respected the big brother's appearance.

Of course, these are all for the children who go to the ninja school.

The children who went to the ninja school would tell them what they had learned again every night when they returned to the orphanage. Sometimes, they also talk about big brother things.

As these children learned more and more, they realized that the eldest brother had a strong position in the village.

And...... The eldest brother (Tomoki), the eldest sister (China), and the younger sister (Yuma) are all orphans.

Everything about them is really desirable. Almost every child is dreaming about how they can be like them.

But today, all hope is shattered.

Now almost every child knows that he or she will be sent to a different place.

And the location of the orphanage now will become a training place, and no one knows about the training or anything.

"Hey, Yuya, where are you going?"

"I'm going to be sent to the Temple of Fire, how about it, awesome!" Yuya smiled innocently.

Because in the land of fire, the second strongest ninja force is the Temple of Fire. Among all the children who were sent away, only the children who went to the Temple of Fire had hope of continuing to have a strong strength that shocked the ninja world.

After all, the presiding officer of the Fire Temple, but the Fire Country guards the land among the twelve ninjas.

(The so-called immortal talent in the original book, but for now, it is similar to the idea of the frog at the bottom of the well.) The bounty in the underground market is five million taels lower than that of Ape Flying Asma. ）

The child, who was still worried about his friend, was stunned at first, then turned his head and shouted disdainfully, "Cut! It's just that there's something great about the Temple of Fire! If you have the ability, you can cultivate a name for me!"

"Okay, then let's compare with the previous one! Let's see who we are better in the future?"

Yuya said with full confidence that he didn't seem to have the consciousness to go to the Temple of Fire to be a little novice at all.

I didn't notice it, I turned my head away from my friend, and there were already crystal tears in my eyes.

Yes, although Yuya is a little monk, there is still hope of becoming a ninja in the future...... But what about myself? I don't have any hope at all.

In fact, not only him, but many children have shown such feelings, even if the children who go to the Temple of Fire, how many of them want to be novices in the past?

"No! I will never allow you to take the child away!"

Suddenly, a stubborn female voice sounded in front of the orphanage.

In the eyes of the children, hope was born again in an instant. Quickly find the nearest window, the railing, and poke your little head in the direction of the sound.

"Look, look! It's really Sister China. ”

A child happily pointed to the beautiful figure, with smooth black hair, blown by the wind, but the figure was so firmly in front of the door of the orphanage.

"At least wait until the village settles it again, I've already submitted a request to the village for a new resolution, so please wait a little longer!"

China Hoshino shouted loudly to the group in front of her, and in her eyes, there was a gloomy look of the director of the orphanage, standing next to her, as if she could not do anything.

And those who are arrogant and stand in front of her are the dark ones......

Although for her, she couldn't tell whether the other party belonged to the [root] of Danzo or the shadow department directly under the Hokage.

But either way, she's going to stand here and stand firm to stop it.

"Sena-sana, you're really embarrassing me like this. Speaking of which, Tomoki-sama probably doesn't want to see anything worse happen, right?"

As he spoke, the member of the dark department wearing the mask slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and said with a strange encounter of yin and yang,

"Miss China, what you said about the application for re-resolution...... It's a pity that no one saw it, no, Danzo-sama did. He said......"

"You're such a childish waste! Sure enough, you're not related to Tomoki-sama, and he said that the adult wouldn't do such a thing!"
