Chapter 24: Interesting girl with a Secret

The next day, both guys stayed in a crumpled state for themselves. They didn't let anyone near them and talked only to each other, as if others didn't exist for them at all. Their acquaintances were even surprised by this strange condition, but still did not send any special significance. Well, they're in a bad mood, the next day should be better. But the next day was no better...

From these two people staggered, seeing a drooping and tired look. Both did not specifically attract attention to themselves, which they got rid of only on the territory of the Hatake clan. And then some rather curious personalities continued to follow the children. To calmly exhale, I had to go into a house where there was at least some protection.

- How long do we have to walk like this? Hatake asked, taking off his mask, which hid his usual facial expression.

"I don't know until your father shows up..." Sora replied, repeating after his friend.

- Why did we do this clowning at all? He himself said that we should not lower our noses now and trust my feelings.

More recently, Iguru came up with a special plan to attract attention to himself. To do this, both of them had to win back the offense to the whole bright world. What for? He never told me. Kakashi only had to agree.

- If your feelings didn't let you down, then something really happened there, but we can't find out what exactly. We can only help your father.

The guy went into the kitchen, where he washed his hands under a cool stream of water.

- Yes? And how will this help us? - the gray-haired boy sat down on a soft sofa, which perfectly kept its shape.

"You and I have let the people who are watching us know. The change in mood after the father went on a mission should have interested people. People could have been sent to help your father, although I honestly don't know how the watchers reacted to our trick at all.

Sora explained, taking back his injured hand. Previously, she was hanging out without proper supervision, but one of the teachers noticed it and immediately helped to sort out the problem. Now the guy has been walking for the second day with a bandage that slightly restricts movement.

- Why can't you say that right away? Kakashi asked. His emotions had already cooled down, so he was calmly talking to his friend.

- I don't know, I was wondering how long you would follow my instructions without explanation.

Sora laughed, knocking over a glass of the same tap water. It tasted too good to compare with the filtered water from his world. Everything is too good with ecology here.

- Freak... Hatake swore.

While there was a chance, Sora looked into the system for which he had big plans. Only this terrible world has already begun to show its claws, which the guy was wary of all the time. In the beginning, after arriving in this world, he still wonders how easy it was for him to get to the village. And he felt the most terrible threat to his life only a few times in Kakashi's ambushes. This unknown world full of bloodthirsty personalities met him too rosily. There are also bright sides to it like Minato. But it is much more difficult to meet these bright sides than one can imagine. Ordinary people live here in poverty, and the rich decide the fate of the poor. Only Shinobi here are personalities...

[Name: Iguru Sora]

[Affiliation: Refugee]

[Rank: Novice Trader]

[Age: 5 years old]

[Total strength: 57]

[Strength: 12(67/100)]

[Endurance: 10(58/100)]

[Speed: 9(45/100)]

[Intelligence: 45(74/100)]

[Inventory]

[Skills]

[Trade]

[Shop]

After discovering a new skill, his overall strength increased by as much as five points, which was a drop in the sea of real masters. He couldn't wait to do it, but constant thoughts about Sakumo did not allow him to concentrate, which is why all training was canceled. It was impossible to miss the chance to save the father of a friend. His own ambitions were no longer pursued, he was driven only by the desire to help this poor family.

Both Hatake have been through the horrors of war. One lost part of his team in an ambush, and the second part turned away from him. Love died too soon, leaving him alone with his son. Even the native village turned away...

The second lost his mother at a tender age, and after that his father also passed away. His father was branded not as a hero, but as a cowardly man who betrayed his village. A close friend and comrade died during the war, and soon he had to take the life of his girlfriend with his own hands, whom he pledged to protect. Even the teacher and his caring wife left him. By the time he was twenty, he had lost everyone who was truly dear to him and whom he loved.

An unenviable fate was approaching this family, and Sora was determined to prevent it. Looking at his small strength for Shinobi, he compared with key figures and more or less successful classmates, whom he had already managed to count.

[Name: Maito Guy]

[Total strength: 46]

The red beast of Konoha, who will dance a deadly dance with the pinnacle of the power of this world. The overall strength reflected, it seems, the capabilities of this or that person, but thinking during the battle and strategy could level this very strength, which Sora used and not once.

[Name: Sarutobi Asuma]

[Total strength: 53]

[Name: Kurenai Juhi]

[Total strength: 41]

[Name: Uchiha Obito]

[Total strength: 61]

[Name: Nohara Rin]

[Total strength: 40]

These children were not deprived of strength, since they already had decent strength at that age, although they did not reach the real genius, whose strength would soon grow beyond the mark of two hundred and fifty units.

But when compared to his own class, these kids were still a little stronger...

[Name: Nara Ibi]

[Total strength: 44]

The boy still stood out from the general background, which Iguru immediately noticed. The intellect of this boy splashed in all directions, but as soon as it came to physical activity, his strength magically evaporated from him. He never received a scolding from a poor teacher, who repeatedly tells this stubborn Nara about the importance of training. Next on the list...

[Name: Fujiyashi Shoichi]

[Total strength: 49]

The simplest native of the people. He didn't stand out in any particular way, but he had already proven his talent in combat areas more than once, and despite his age, he worked hard, sometimes even entered into discussions with Nara, which came to skirmishes. An interesting guy that Sora has set his sights on for the future.

[Name: Yokomoto Nibu]

[Total strength: 39]

The guy is weaker than others, but he is also a native of the people, which is surprising. Both had talents, because without the support of a village or a large clan, both had to fight their way through a difficult path. He was not strong in taijutsu, but he already knew a simple ninjutsu technique. He demonstrated this ability in the battle with Ibi, replacing himself with a log. Only the result didn't even change that much, he was destined to lose.

[Name: Senju Maisa]

[Total strength: 67]

The last and only girl in this small list of interesting people. That was the most interesting one. A native of the legendary Senju clan, a girl with blonde hair like the color of the sun. She illuminated Sora's bad mood on bad days, for some reason he felt warm and light in his soul, as soon as he turned his attention to her. The sweet girl hid a remarkable strength in herself, which was not unknown to anyone. Although the remnants of the Senju clan may have known, but not the teachers or students. At the academy, she presented herself as a civilian surname and behaved calmly, not particularly standing out from the general background, even in fights she completely lost to the guys, so that the attention of others would not fall on her. Why would such a crumb hide her powers?

Sora put forward whole theories with this story, but he never came to a complete answer. Everything could be banal simple, or it could be confusing at the level of the top of the village. Where he should stick his nose in the next ten years is definitely not worth it. To begin with, you need to grow yourself a force that others will have to reckon with and only then take steps to change this world.

Sora sat down in the lotus position and began to drive energy through his body to test the new skill he had acquired during training.

[Chakra Control (1ur) - a person who has mastered this rare and basic ability can finally take the first steps in the dangerous but powerful side of this world. The skill allows the owner to control the chakra flows as he wants.

Warning: if with a low skill level the owner starts managing too much energy flows, there is a chance that the chakra channels will explode, which will lead to disastrous consequences, and possibly death. Be careful!]

Having driven away the very crumbs of energy, Sora received a charge of cheerfulness, but he just did not know what to do next. He could control the chakra, but how to increase it, it's not cultivation from books, where internal energy can be developed and developed. In this world, the chakra was something that you get from birth. And only genes decide how much you will have.

Thanks for reading and support!

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
