Chapter 1: 1. Set a Goal First, Then Escape Konoha
As a transmigrator, Chiba Shiraishi believed that he should possess the fundantal qualities as one. His most important task currently was to remain calm and assimilate into this new world as quickly as possible.
Although there were several illogical phenona in this world, witnessing individuals leaping across rooftops or summoning animals, walking on walls, Shiraishi had been astonished by these surreal fantasy scenes more than once. What sort of magical world was this? Was everyone here Superman? because in the village of Konoha alone, there were countless superhumans like them.
Shiraishi ca to realize that these superhuman beings were referred to as "Ninja." They possessed a special energy called chakra, which grants them enhanced strength, incredible jumping abilities, and manipulating various elents.
After a few days of adjustnt, Shiraishi finally understood the fact that he had arrived in an extraordinary world. He had gained a thorough understanding of his current identity.
The previous owner of his body had been an orphan in Konohagakure, growing up in the village's orphanage for several years. Only recently, on his sixth birthday, he had been identified as having the qualifications to beco a shinobi, and he left the orphanage to live on his own in an apartnt.
Shiraishi felt endless complaints about the day he left the orphanage, which coincided with the day he transmigrated. What orphanage kicks out a child who was rely six years old?
According to the information provided by the orphanage, his parents had died on the battlefield shortly after his birth. They were both under the age of 20 when they perished, and their remains had not been found. Only their nas were etched coldly on the morial monunt.
Therefore, after becoming a hero, Shiraishi received nurous conveniences in life from the upper echelons of the village. After leaving the orphanage, the entrance fee for the ninja academy was waived, and he received a monthly stipend, including the inheritance left by his parents.
From his perspective alone, Shiraishi believed that Konohagakure showed a touch of humanity. However, one must consider everything from a comprehensive viewpoint. Over the past few days, he had repeatedly heard gossip on the streets of Konoha Village, he reached a terrifying conclusion.
Every official ninja, regardless of age, was required to go to the battlefield to fight against the enemy as arranged by the village's higher-ups.
From Shiraishi's knowledge, since the Second Ninja World War was currently taking place, Konoha sent a large number of children under the age of ten to the battlefield each year.
Under ten years old?
Children on the battlefield?
This wasnt a joke.. Right?. Do they really send children under the age of ten to the battlefield?
There were even rumors of six or seven-year-old children who graduated early from the academy due to their exceptional abilities, and were subsequently sent directly to the battlefield...
Feeling lost and uncertain, Shiraishi's heart was imdiately filled with hesitation. How dire was the situation on the front lines of Konoha for them to involve children under the age of twelve in battle?
Are they out of their minds?
Could Konoha actually be a terrorist organization?
Had he unwittingly entered a terrorist organization?
Contemplating this possibility, Shiraishi stared at the academy admission notice in his hand, his eyes filled with a complex expression as he slumped onto the ground.
It's over. He must have joined a terrorist organization.
Once enrolled in the academy, he would not only be taught various terrifying killing techniques but would also be brainwashed, becoming a tool of murder for the village's upper class...
As he looked at the picturesque village basking in the sunshine, Shiraishi couldn't help but feel a chill.
Escape From Konoha? But where could he escape to?
The strength displayed by those ninjas was only the tip of the iceberg; they could easily crush him like an ant. Shiraishi didn't believe he could escape from this terrorist organization at the mont.
After a period of intense internal struggle, Shiraishi decided to take it one step at a ti and escape from this village when the right mont presented itself.
...
Konoha Year 30, April.
Ninja Academy.
Not long after leaving the orphanage, Shiraishi was preparing to attend the academy, which was his only way out.
He understood the very perilous situation he was in. Konoha was indeed a terrorist organization. Until he beca strong enough, he had to avoid arousing suspicion.
A single misstep could lead to suspicion from those around him, and subsequently he would be secretly dealt with.
Therefore, Shiraishi couldn't help but be cautious of the seemingly innocent villagers around him, always maintaining a sense of wariness.
More and more, he started perceiving the kind smiles on their faces as cunning smiles, fox-like smiles, devilish smiles, and their innocence appeared as nothing more than a facade.
Each face seed to harbor thoughts of devouring him, with teeth stained by blood and sin.
This was Shiraishi's logical analysis of his current situation.
Shiraishi blended in with the crowd as he entered the academy. It was eight o'clock in the morning. Like Shiraishi, so children arrived alone, while others were accompanied by their parents.
The scene was lively, resembling a gathering.
Shiraishi didn't choose to stand silently by himself, emitting an aura that clashed with the environnt.
That would be utterly foolish.
He couldn't attract attention. He had to be ordinary, inconspicuous, and avoid doing anything out of the ordinary.
Before officially entering the classroom, Shiraishi and the other new students would attend the opening ceremony.
The so-called opening ceremony was a rather simple affair. A designated area was marked out on the academy's playground, and hundreds of new students were arranged in lines according to their height, facing the lengthy and tireso speeches of the adults.
The speaker on the stage was a middle-aged man dressed in a royal robe, his smile reminiscent of a gentle breeze. He exuded a powerful presence.
Shiraishi knew that the middle-aged man in the royal robe was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The current leader of the terrorist organization Konoha Village.
He was a formidable individual who carried on the will of the First and Second Hokage, the leaders of the previous generations of the terrorist organization.
Involuntarily, Shiraishi labeled the seemingly harmless and friendly smiling face of the Third Hokage as extrely dangerous.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech, in Shiraishi's view, was exceptionally boring.
It was nothing more than a series of empty rhetoric.
What the Will of Fire stood for.
How bright Konoha Village was.
How everyone was considered family.
Then, from a historical perspective, he expounded on the great accomplishnts of the previous Hokage, using hype and propaganda that resonated with the audience.
Except for Shiraishi, but to avoid drawing attention, Shiraishi also displayed excitent and admiration alongside everyone else, as if he was genuinely moved by the achievents of the previous Hokages.
