Hokage: Ten-year-old Kaleidoscope, the beginning of betraying Konoha

[Nation of Vortex] After its demise.

Xianglin and her mother wandered to 【Cao Ren Village】.

In order to avoid hunting, to seek asylum, and to raise her daughter.

Xianglin's mother had no choice but to succumb to the coercion of Cao Ninja Village and reached an agreement with her.

By sacrificing herself, with her healing physique, she helps the many ninjas of Kusanagi Village heal and recover from their injuries.

This barely gave the mother and daughter a chance to survive.

Because of this, the information about Xianglin and her mother was also tightly sealed by [Cao Ren Village].

So as not to be known by other ninja villages.

Therefore, their mother and daughter have been arranged to live in a secret dilapidated wooden house outside the village.

Only when necessary, people from Kusanagi Village will come to pick up Xianglin's mother.

Then, perhaps all night;

Maybe for several days in a row;

After being sucked and squeezed by one grass ninja after another, until it was on the verge of the limit.

Only then could she drag her exhausted body, hide the tooth marks all over her body, carry food and daily necessities, and return to this wooden house with difficulty...

Weak, lonely, plus 'the crime of being pregnant'.

obviously.

Even if the survivors of [Nation of Vortex] escaped.

In this cruel ninja world, it is also difficult to survive.

After all, there are too many people who covet the ability of the Uzumaki clan...

For this reason, their mother and daughter chose one.

The most painful and difficult, but at least the way to survive.

……

At this moment, the periphery of Cao Ninja Village is a thousand meters away.

Inside a dilapidated cabin.

Xiang Lin, who has just turned eight years old, is smoking a bench, struggling to pour a pot of water into the pot, ready to start boiling water for cooking.

After all, Mom was taken away again yesterday evening.

Today's lunch needs to be prepared by herself.

And, if you're lucky, mom will be back before lunch.

So she has to get her lunch ready early.

After all, when her mother is away, she has to live on her own...

This is also what her mother taught and warned her countless times:

[Even if I am alone, I must work hard to live! 】

……

"boom--"

The ground shook and the houses shook.

Xiao Xianglin who was cooking was startled.

"Is it an earthquake?"

The shaking subsided quickly, and the house did not collapse.

Xiao Xianglin breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and continued to cook.

But it took less than 2 minutes.

"Boom boom boom!"

Outside the house, a series of dull knocks on the door suddenly sounded, which startled Xiang Lin suddenly.

With a stagger, he fell off the wooden bench.

Xiang Lin, who fell down, didn't care about the pain on his body, and quickly shrank into a ball, not daring to open the door.

After all, except for mom.

The only ones who will find this are those bastards from Kusanagi Village!

"Boom boom boom!"

There was another knock on the door, and Xiang Lin was even more panicked.

She didn't want to face those bastards at all, so she had to hide in the room as much as possible to escape.

After a while.

"Crack-"

The inner door bolt was easily broken by an invisible force.

The door opened, and a figure pushed the door and entered.

"Moses, Moses! Are you alone in the house?"

The young man's voice startled Xianglin in the room.

She opened her eyes and looked.

Only then did I realize that it wasn't the bastard from Kusanagi Village that shone in with the sunlight.

It was a ten-year-old boy who looked very young and was a little handsome.

"you……"

The girl raised her head, staring at Natsume in a daze, not knowing how to respond.

However, the fear in her heart was diluted a lot by the warm sunshine and the young man's voice.

"Scented phosphorus, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

"You're the only one at home?"

"Yes, it is."

Natsume who got the answer was also a little speechless.

He immediately turned his head to look at the three grass ninja village elders behind him, with murderous aura in his eyes.

The three elders fell to their knees in an instant, and hurriedly argued:

"That's right, that's right!"

"I remember that child's mother was taken away yesterday..."

"There should be a need in [Ghost Lamp City], so I will send it there temporarily to treat the wounded!"

"The person responsible for picking him up is Anbu's ninja, we don't know very well!"

In order to survive, the elder explained very neatly, not daring to hide anything.

No idea!

This young man is too ruthless, the kind who will instantly fall apart if he disagrees with him.

He doesn't want to die yet!

Had to obey as much as possible.

"Send it to [Ghost Lamp City]?"

"Is it such an unfortunate coincidence?"

"People should still be alive, right? If they die, you can go down to be buried with them..."

"Alive, definitely alive!"

The elder echoed tremblingly.

Although, he was not sure in his heart.

"Tsk."

Natsume glanced at the three elders one last time and spat.

I don't even bother to draw my sword to kill this kind of waste.

Just a dirty knife...

Ever since, the three passed by, and continued to say to the girl in the house:

"Let's go, take you to see your mother!"

Now that you're here, let's take Xianglin along with you.

Anyway, I will go to [Ghost Lantern City] later, so let's take it with me along the way.

Xianglin was a little dazed.

Still confused by the current situation.

She had seen the three old men kneeling on the ground in fancy clothes and masks outside the house.

He is a big shot in 【Kusa Ninja Village】!

Every time the grass ninja strongman who came to take away his mother had to respect these old men.

Therefore, she could not understand.

How could such a big man kneel in front of this young man in such awe?

How old is he?

Is his identity very unusual?

Although very confused, very confused.

But Xianglin still obeyed her mother's advice:

"No! I won't go, I want to wait here for my mother to come back!"

"I'm not going anywhere!"

Very stubborn, very stubborn.

Seeing this, Natsume also felt some headaches.

For a girl of this age, it is difficult to reason, it is really difficult to deal with.

However, Natsume has no time to dawdle here.

Had to take some tough measures.

next moment.

With a flick of Natsume's song finger, a small stream of chakra was shot out, which instantly hit Xiao Xianglin's neck.

Knock it out.

Then, he took a few steps forward and hugged the girl on the ground.

The girl's body is very soft, as if made of water.

Of course, Natsume didn't have any crooked thoughts.

Although in all fairness.

With a delicate figure and a beautiful appearance, Xiao Xianglin with bright red hair is really cute.

However, its age is indeed still young.

Natsume doesn't have any strange xp.

Of course, he wouldn't play around with delusional thoughts about a little girl.

How to say.

I have to wait another two years, two more years of development!

Soon, Natsume, who was wearing fragrant phosphorus, jumped forward and disappeared in place in an instant.

And head towards the [Ghost Lamp City] in the north.

There were only three elders of Kusanagi Village left, still kneeling on the ground, trembling...
