Missions?

Shiro opened his eyes calmly, yesterday he had spent most of the night thinking about what to say to the counselors and how he would flee if the conversation did not work out.

"I see you're finally awake."

The doctor said as he entered the room with a smile.

Looking at the doctor, Shiro's eyes widened in surprise when the latter noticed that there was a small black flame coming out of the doctor's belly, strangely Shiro could see three more flames hidden in the room, but the latter three were much stronger and dense.

'System, what are these flames?'

Shiro asked, trying to hide his surprise.

<Responding to the host, This is your new skill [Detection of Powers]>

System responded robotically

Shiro then finally understood this ability he gained yesterday, thinking better this power was very strong and incredible since he could detect the power of these ninjas, even if hidden. Shiro then imagined that the bigger the flame, the stronger the opponent.

"I brought this food to you."

Shiro then looked at the food, it was two loaves with egg, soup, and milk. Hearing that his belly was full of hunger, he devoured everything quickly. (Obs: Shiro's reason for not suspecting that he was poisoned or anything like that is the same as you do not investigate whether fast food is poor or not. In short ~ inexperience.)

"So are you ready to talk to the counselors?"

Asked the doctor doubtfully.

"Yes, but what do they want to talk about?"

"Nothing more, just simple questions. They will then decide what to do with you."

"I see, I've finished eating ..."

Shiro then followed the doctor as he noticed the other three flames were following him, he walked looking sideways with a little curiosity, but in his right hand was already the escape paper, the one he invoked from the inventory while eating.

<New mission available # 1>

...

The counselors' office was very simple, had only two tables, some shelves with books and scrolls, the wall had few old photos, a window, and a door.

Sitting at the table by the window was a very beautiful woman, her eyes were light blue and very cold, she had a noble air and her black hair was swaying with the wind that was coming in the window.

While at the table on the other wall there was a simple man, he seemed to be in his thirties, he was bald and looked at the beautiful girl with admiration and respect.

Soon the two of them stared at the door, listening to someone beating on the other side.

"In between..."

The man said, smiling at the doctor who was entering with a strange boy.

"Pleasure Counselors, this is the boy I told you."

The doctor spoke, smiling and shaking hands with the counselor.

Watching the fighting power of the two, Shiro noticed that there were not big things there, they were weaker than the three hidden ninjas.

"Pleasure young, you can call me Kuro. this is the chief counselor."

The man spoke as he pointed to the beautiful lady who was still sitting in the chair, not even looking at Shiro.

"Do not call her, she's just like that."

Kuro whispered.

Shiro just smiled back and waited for the counselor to speak.

What went on was just simple conversations, Shiro and the man introducing himself and exchanging a few words, but after some time the man finally came to the point.

"So Shiro, how did you end up at that place?"

Kuro asked seriously.

"I-I do not remember ... I just remember that I was living my happy life with my parents when a strange monster appeared."

Shiro replied, as he clenched his fists tightly and bit his lips, pretending to be angry.

"How was this monster?"

"E-He looked like a chameleon, only it was very big ... If I remember correctly, it was green."

Shiro answered, holding his head in his hands and frowning.

'Hmm, this looks like ...'

Kuro had remembered the invocation of his Amekage, the descriptions are the same.

Shiro did not know the appearance of animals or beasts of this world, he then described the invocation of Pain, but specifically of the Animal Path.

"Can you give me more details? Where was this village, how many people lived in it, what were the names of your parents and if you were a member of a clan?"

Kuro asked seriously.

"Of course ... She was [...]"

Shiro spent the next two hours talking to the counselor, remembering to always pay attention to his surroundings, the hidden ninjas and always ready to tear the escape paper.

In the end, the meeting turned out to be quite right, Kuro also said he would send some ninjas to this village and investigate, and also if there was anyone alive, he would report to Shiro.

Before Shiro left the room, he was called by Kuro who asked him:

"How old are you?"

"Eight years, why?"

"Do you want to go to the ninja academy?"

"Why did you ask that so suddenly?"

Shiro asked with a strange expression.

"I noticed you were looking a lot into the corners of the room, did you notice any presence there?"

Kuro asked, smiling and pointing to the corner of the room.

Glancing at the spot, Shiro's eyes twitched as he looked serious.

"No need to worry, I think you're a sensor type, that's very rare, you know if you want I can sign you up for the gym?"

Kuro asked, smiling.

"I refu."

When Shiro would refuse, the system spoke in his mind.

<New mission available # 2>

<Goal: If you graduate in the gym in two years>

<Reward: Friendship of Kuro - 4 Unusual Gacha>

<Fail: Lie discovered - Enemy of Kuro>

Will the Host accept the mission? Yes / No>

'... The system would not do this mission if it were fatal, right?'

After a moment's thought, Shiro finally looked at Kuro.

"I accept."

"Great, I'll talk to you as soon as I get this straight. You can go see the city in the meantime."

Kuro spoke, smiling.

<Mission Completed # 1>

<Goal: Successfully mislead the counselor>

<Reward: 3 Common Gacha>

<Failure: Death>

Seeing that the first mission was complete, Shiro let out a sigh of relief and left Kuro's office, not before taking one last look at the beautiful girl who had not looked into his face since he arrived.
