TSSITWON Chapter 12: Report
🕑 Added 2024-09-03 11:11:23 +0000 UTC"Lord Hokage, I would like to report on the activities of the Kyuubi Jinchuriki," said the masked man politely and respectfully.
"Huhhh... report!" Hiruzen exhaled his cigarette smoke slowly, his eyes sharply focused on the Anbu in front of him. Hiruzen was ready to hear a report that could have significant implications for the village.
"Very well, Lord Hokage... So, in the morning, the Kyuubi Jinchuriki and Minato were at their home. They spent time together, enjoying a peaceful day. In the afternoon, they walked around the village, and by evening, they went to the Ramen Shop for dinner. There, they met a civilian child who had very little chakra..." Before the masked bear ninja could finish his report, Hiruzen interrupted him.
"A civilian child? Let it be. After they spoke with that child, they went straight home, right?" Hiruzen said nonchalantly, showing no interest in Aoki.
"That's correct, Lord Hokage," replied the masked bear ninja, nodding in agreement.
"Alright then, return to your duties," Hiruzen commanded, clearly indifferent to Aoki. Unfortunately, Hiruzen's indifference and arrogance might lead to significant problems in the future. However, at that moment, Hiruzen was unaware of the consequences of his actions.
It wasn't just Hiruzen who was indifferent to Aoki. In a dark and gloomy place underground, illuminated only by dim light, a man with a bandaged face was sitting. In front of him stood a ninja wearing attire similar to Anbu, but with a mask labeled "Root."
"Lord Danzo, I would like to report on the activities of the Kyuubi Jinchuriki," said the Root ninja.
"Hmm, report," Danzo replied in a hoarse voice.
"So..." the man continued with the same explanation that the Anbu had given to Hiruzen.
"Then, when they were about to go for dinner at the Ramen Shop, they met a civilian child who had very little chakra..." This time, the Root Ninja was also interrupted, just as Hiruzen had done with the Konoha Anbu.
"Hmm, just a civilian child with little chakra. Let it be, I don't care. After they finished talking to that child, did they go straight home?" Danzo asked, showing no interest in Aoki at all.
"That's correct, Lord Danzo," replied the Root ninja.
"Alright, continue your duties," Danzo said coldly.
"Yes, Lord Danzo."
"Hmm... Let it be. Report if there is anything important regarding Kyuubi," Danzo said in a cold tone, appearing annoyed.
"Understood, Lord Danzo," replied the Root ninja before disappearing into the darkness.
It seemed Aoki was lucky. If Aoki had drawn the attention of Hiruzen or even Danzo, his life would surely not be peaceful. However, their indifference might become a source of significant problems in the future.

(Midnight)
"Uh... Where is this?" Aoki opened his eyes, his face showing confusion as he looked around.
"Youβre awake, kid?" Kuroshiro's voice sounded, and in an instant, the black cat jumped in front of Aoki's face.
"Mr. Kuroshiro? What happened?" Aoki asked wearily, his body feeling heavy.
"You ran out of chakra. I then healed you, because otherwise, it would have endangered your life," Kuroshiro replied calmly, explaining the situation.
"I understand... Thank you, Mr. Kuroshiro," Aoki smiled weakly, trying to express his gratitude.
"No problem, but in return, give me ten fish!" Kuroshiro said while lounging comfortably on Aoki's stomach.
"... Sure," Aoki replied with a faint smile, feeling relieved despite his exhaustion.
That night became the most exhausting night for Aoki. He almost lost his life if Kuroshiro hadn't been able to use Medical Jutsu in time. This made Aoki increasingly aware of the reality of how weak he was at that moment.
