I couldn't make out anything but the girl's name, but her lips kept moving.

Although, even what I heard then surprised me very much, because I already knew who she was, only here in front of me was not quite " the one" Kaguya, a very early version of her, and there were only two eyes.

Soon, I couldn't move, couldn't get out a word, couldn't even think straight.

The confusion on my face was replaced by indifference, my eyes dimmed, and I lost consciousness again.

...

November 8. 20 years before the birth of Naruto Uzumaki.

Sunagakure. ("A village hidden in the sand.")

There was a small settlement in a fortified gorge, behind rocky cliffs in the middle of the desert.

An unusual place, but the people there lived also not ordinary, because it was one of the hidden villages of the ninja, the place where they were born, trained and ... died for the sake of the interests of their country.

The village consisted of many small houses built of processed clay and sand, including even the residence of the Kazekage-the main and, most often, the strongest ninja of the village.

Kage - 影 ("Shadow.")

In one of these houses, lit only by the faint natural light that filtered through the narrow round windows, was a young ninja couple and their first child.

A beautiful girl was holding a newborn baby, gently rocking it in her arms.

The boy got her deep brown eyes, and her hair, red as blood, was exactly like her father's.

- Baby, Sasori. She said with a warm smile to her son.

"That's what your grandmother wanted you to be called." After that, the girl turned her gaze to her husband.

"Yes, it's a beautiful name. He nodded approvingly and put his arm around his wife.

Although they wanted to prolong the moment, a few minutes later they left the house with the child and went to the council building.

They could not relax and enjoy a quiet family life, as they had responsibilities to the village.

...

Time flew by imperceptibly...

Sasori was trained in the necessary skills, language, and other quite ordinary things, and life in Suna flowed on as usual.

When Sasori's parents went on missions, they usually left their child in the care of Granny Chiyo.

She was the best ninja medic in the country, as well as an important member of the council, so she almost always stayed in the village and could look after the boy.

And so passed his first years in this world.

...

August 4. 14 years before the birth of Naruto Uzumaki.

Village council building.

In Chiyo's private room, a 5-year-old boy sat and carefully studied a scroll.

A couple of days ago, his parents went to the battlefield and, as usual, gave Sasori to the care of his grandmother.

Last month, Konohagakure ("A village hidden in foliage.") unleashed a new world war, and Sunagakure was one of the parties to the conflict.

Due to the circumstances, the ninja academy of the village recruited even children under 6 years old this year.

Although you do not need to take any exams to enroll, applicants are tested for a basic predisposition to "Ninjutsu" and "Genjutsu".

Jutsu - 術 ("Technique.")

There was a rule in Suna Academy that forbade people who didn't have talent for at least one of these two areas from studying.

Sasori planned to go to the academy at the beginning of the new school year, and thanks to the position of his grandmother, he had access to some basic knowledge and could study things that interested him.

After a while, the door of the room where the boy was studying was ajar, and Sasori, noticing this, immediately jumped up and ran to meet the newcomer with a smile from ear to ear.

The boy knew that it could only be his Granny Chiyo.

However, he quickly regained his composure and became alert when he saw the sad expression on her face.

"Baby, I have to tell you something. Then she went over to him and took his hand.

Even in non-military times, death is not uncommon in the lives of these people.

In wars, the ninja die constantly, and some villages disappear from the face of the earth.

No wonder the first casualties had already appeared in the recent battle.

After learning about the loss of his parents, Sasori temporarily cooled down and closed himself in, but Chiyo was able to interest the boy with her puppets.

At first, she presented all the necessary skills as a kind of game.

Her grandson showed an incredible talent in creating dolls, but so far it was difficult to control them, because it required a confident command of the chakra and the presence of special equipment.

A couple of weeks later, he managed to finish making a couple of simple puppets the size of a child.

Of course, these dolls do not provide for the presence of weapons and serious mechanisms, as in combat puppets, and in general they were too primitive, but for a 5-year-old boy to create something like this is simply " - Incredible...", and his grandmother is not so easy to surprise.

However, he quickly lost interest in simple "toys", as they still could not replace his parents.

The day of enrollment in the academy was approaching, and the boy, named Sasori, spent all his free time training in the control of the chakra, improving his mastery of the puppet master's threads, as well as honing the skills of making puppets in his new workshop.
