4 Chapter IV

What was the solution we found?

Orphan newborns and toddlers. With strength and good bloodline if possible. To be raised in Hidden Storm from the very beginning.

And some Hyuga clan kids from the branch house, without close relatives who haven't been marked with the Caged Bird seal yet and are very young.

If possible, some with Uzumaki bloodline.

Between the three of us and some sophisticated and advanced puppets, we were sure that raising a few dozen kids from the scratch wouldn't be impossible.

So that's what we've been doing for the past eight years. Practicing parenthood.

Other than us, there are now 93 other villagers in the Hidden Storm village. All of them are children ranging from three to twelve years old. 51 male and the rest female.

Among them we have seven kids from Hyuga clan, four female and three male. Two boys with Uzumaki bloodline, a girl from Yuki clan and another girl with Dark style.

The rest are random children with large chakra reserves who were in good health.

Bringing them back to the Hidden Storm was a walk in the park. It was the process of locating potential children that gave us trouble.

Raising them is a challenge but what's life without something to spice things up a little bit?
