After the Battle of Mount Kikyo, many towns and villages in the Land of Fire were destroyed, and the population of Konoha Village was also hit hard, receiving many refugees and orphans.

At this moment, in a simple large wooden house similar to a church next to Konoha Village, a woman with long yellow hair took several children and helped up a young child with gray hair.

"He is from that village, right? There was a fight there some time ago. What should I do, sister? This guy's head has been bleeding and he seems to be dying. Do you want to take him with you?"

A child wearing a hat asked the yellow-haired woman. While the child was speaking, the yellow-haired woman had already put her hands on the gray-haired child's head, emitting a burst of green light.

"Urusi, compared to your injuries at that time, his injuries are minor. Don't worry. Don't look at me like this. I still know some medical ninjutsu."

The yellow-haired woman stopped the gray-haired child's bleeding injury. The yellow-haired woman asked gently to the gray-haired child who stopped breathing:

"Where are your parents?"

The child stared blankly at the yellow-haired woman and lowered his head.

"What's your name?"

The child was a little sluggish. He lowered his head when he heard the question and looked to the other side from the corner of his eyes, seeming a little frightened.

"Don't you remember anything? It's true!"

Ulusi, who was behind the yellow-haired woman, couldn't help complaining about the gray-haired child's lack of answer.

"Urusi, help him."

The yellow-haired woman said softly, and Ulusi stepped forward after hearing the words.

"You're so lucky, come here and lean on my shoulder"

The amnesiac child was brought back to the simple wooden house by the yellow-haired woman and her group.

There were many children and orphans in the house. The yellow-haired woman looked at the child who was brought back with a dull look and a helmet. The child seemed to have lost his memory and had no memory of what happened before.

"What's his name?"

The yellow-haired woman touched her chin, thinking in her mind, looked at the helmet on the child's head, and smiled:

"Kabuto, how about this name?"

The amnesiac child came to the house and saw many children the same age as himself. He relaxed his vigilance. When he heard the words of the yellow-haired woman, a smile appeared on his dull face.

The children nearby were naive and outspoken, and expressed their opinions one after another.

"Eh, that doesn't sound good."

“So casual”

"so so"

The yellow-haired woman smiled with crooked eyes and wore black-rimmed glasses. She was very friendly. She looked at the children with a smile and said:

“Simplicity is the best”

However, Ulusi noticed that the amnesiac boy smiled and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Ah! This guy just laughed. It seems he likes this name very much!"

The yellow-haired woman noticed this and said softly:

"Great."

……

At nine-twenty at night, the orphanage had gone to rest, but Kabuto was still walking around the grounds.

A fat woman wearing a black monk's uniform brought Kabuto to the clock hanging on the wall and asked:

"Hey, have you seen this clock? What time is it now? It's already twenty minutes past the lights-out time, so what time is the lights-out time?"

The fat woman asked Kabuto, and added sternly: "You are here now, remember it well."

Kabuto heard what the fat woman said, his head was wrapped in a bandage, and he looked at the clock on the wall, but he couldn't see clearly. He seemed to be nearsighted at a young age.

"Hey, hey, what time is it now? Give me a good answer and remember it clearly."

The fat woman continued to ask. She usually brings a large number of children, and the fat woman is also very tired. She must teach them the concept of time and rest.

Kabuto looked at the big clock on the wall, his eyes widening for a while and then squinting, trying hard to see the clock on the wall clearly, and some sweat broke out on his forehead.

The yellow-haired woman next to him looked at Kabuto's eyes, a little surprised, and guessed something.

Another elderly man wearing black modified clothes and square glasses said softly:

"This child is still young. Let alone arithmetic, it is normal for him not to be able to read a watch. Let's forget about it today."

"It's 9 o'clock."

Kabuto's childish voice answered at this time.

"Ok?"

The two monks looked down at the young child below.

"correct answer"

After the yellow-haired woman put the glasses on the child, she heard the child answer directly and affirmed gently. Kabuto already knew time and clock numbers at a young age.

"Hahaha, it seems that his eyesight is not very good. He is so smart at a young age. We need to get him a pair of glasses as soon as possible."

The old monk wearing glasses laughed and liked Kabuto's intelligence very much.

Kabuto stretched out his hand, preparing to take off his glasses and return them to the yellow-haired woman.

However, the yellow-haired woman stopped Kabuto's movements and put on his glasses for him.

Kabuto was a little surprised and looked at the yellow-haired woman.

"This way you can keep time in the future. I hope the power of these glasses is suitable for you."

The yellow-haired woman's voice was as gentle as ever. Kabuto stared blankly at the yellow-haired woman and her warm smile.

Kabuto seemed a little scared. He turned his head and lowered his head to look at the yellow-haired woman out of the corner of his eye. The young child was very embarrassed and uneasy, and there was something strange about it.

Kabuto saw the yellow-haired woman from the corner of his eye, and saw the yellow-haired woman's crooked eyes and smile. Kabuto, who had lost his support, had hazy eyes, tears falling down, and choked with tears:

"Thank you...thank you...thank you..."

Dou repeated the same sentence, and the more he cried, the sadder he became, but his uneasiness about life was completely eliminated at this moment.

The yellow-haired woman looked at Kabuto's appearance and felt a little distressed. She didn't know what Kabuto had experienced when he lost his memory, so she gently rubbed Kabuto's hair.

"It's okay..."

......

Konoha

Hokage Building

bang bang

Orochimaru knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Please come in"

The powerful voice of the Sandaime Hokage sounded in the office.

Orochimaru pushed open the door and came in. Orochimaru was a little reluctant to be summoned by his teacher.

Orochimaru has already begun research on the Forbidden Technique of Immortality, and has had ideas and breakthroughs, and has become increasingly obsessed with experiments.

Previous research projects on curse seals and research on soul secrets and other related ninjutsu have also made great breakthroughs. During the Ninja War, Orochimaru captured many ninjas from various countries and obtained the desired data and guesses through cruel experiments.

During the Ninja War, Orochimaru served as a fire extinguisher. He was transferred to wherever the danger was most. During the rare rest, the Third Hokage came to summon him again, which made Orochimaru somewhat helpless.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his beloved disciple in front of him, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes, and said softly:

"Orochimaru, you have worked hard during this period. Danzo's team lacks strong and reliable ninjas. I would like to transfer you to Danzo's command to assist Danzo in his work and to find out all the information about Danzo's organization. I hope to be able to It’s up to you to take charge.”

Orochimaru frowned slightly when he heard this. Orochimaru and Danzo had been in secret contact for a long time before the teacher transferred him away from Danzo's command.

Now that he has transferred himself into the root tissue again and again, Orochimaru is a little confused about Sarutobi Hiruzen's intentions.

"Danzo, good teacher, I will monitor him for you."

Orochimaru had no dissatisfaction with the transfer. Danzo's darkness was exactly what Orochimaru liked, and the two had the same affinity.

"You seem to have forgotten the key point of my explanation. Find out all the information about the root organization. I hope you can complete my mission this time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew his beloved disciple very well. He was a ninja who was very resourceful and skilled in ninjutsu. As a doctor of ninjutsu himself, Orochimaru's dream was to learn all ninjutsu, which was another way to inherit the mantle.

In response to the teacher's solemn explanation and his appreciation for reuse, Orochimaru licked his lips, which greatly satisfied Orochimaru's inner desire for the three ninjas to be favored, and replied seriously:

"I will, teacher, don't worry."

"Well, I hope you can become the root of Konoha. But you are not suitable for the position of leader of the ninja class. I will arrange another ninja to take the position tomorrow."

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke in a roundabout way and finally revealed the true purpose of summoning Orochimaru.
