Chapter 4 (Updated)

The weather in the Sunshine Village is sunny and warm as the people are busy living their country life. It was a peaceful place, albeit small, and the people in the village were satisfied with their life.

With a population that just barely passes the five thousand, the village has very few ninja to protect their peace even more so those that reach the jonin level.

Other than the current Second Yokokage, there are only nine more Jonins within the village. 

Still, because of the geographic location of the place, very few dangers befall the village which is easily solved by the Second Yokokage.

But Asahi knows that this peace is superficial and the village's strength isn't worth mentioning compared to the might of the five great shinobi villages and it's a kind of strength he alone cannot fill.

Over the course of months, Asahi was not only busy training following the manual scroll but was also experimenting with the floating screen's capabilities. But except for Osamu and Hattori, no other saved data popped up even when he interacted with other people, leading Asahi to speculate what was the condition to save other people's data.

 Today marks the third month since he and the two kids started training and the three choose to take a break from training.

The trio walk on the lively streets of the village, often greeting the villagers they meet, they choose to mainly relax this day because tomorrow is a special day.

"I said let me go!" 

The trio heard a scream around the alley not far from their location and as the curious kid as they are, they rush to see what it was.

Inside the alley, a bunch of kids are bullying a boy that are noticeably bigger than his peers.

"Hold the gorilla!" 

"Don't let him go!"

"This is what you get for messing with us gorilla!"

The kids banter at the boy they called gorilla as they are having a hard time pinning him to the wall. The one leading them is another boy with very long hair that makes him look feminine.

Seeing this, Asahi and the others stop the quarrel between the kids, who are just a year or so younger than them.

"Big bro Asahi, why are you helping that cunning gorilla!" A childish voice among the bunch asked as his teeth grind in anger.

Because of the village's small population, everyone knows everyone which is the case here and the same case is for Asahi as he knows the boy the kids call gorilla is named Monga while the long-haired boy is Mamushi Reiki, the third son of the current Yokokage.

"Fighting is bad, why are you fighting?" Asahi nagged like a forty-year-old, which caused some passersby to laugh seeing a child nagging another child like an old man. 

"You nagged like my father! Besides it's the gorilla who started it!" Another child complained, earning himself a chop to the head for calling Monga gorilla.

"Yeah, the g- I mean Monga asked me for a spar but uses cheap tricks!"

"Everything is fair in war hmph!"

Monga refuted Reiki's complaint earning himself a sharp glare from the latter. The two were about to go at it again if not for Osamu and Hattori separating the two.

"Okay okay I get it, Monga you are right that everything is fair in a war but using cheap tricks in sparring is too much, you too Reiki, it's bad bullying others just because you lost."

Hearing Asahi, the two are obviously unconvinced just like the children they are but couldn't do anything with Osamu and Hattori holding them down. Seeing this, Asahi massages his forehead in stress.

"I don't care! It was the gorilla who started playing unfairly!" The long-haired boy screams, unbefitting his noble appearance.

"Che, loser." Monga shows disdain by spitting on the ground, angering Reiki as his face turns red.

"You..!"

'Sigh...kids' Asahi sighs in defeat seeing the two continue arguing as he comes up with a solution.

"How about this, Monga, you can use cheap tricks and Reiki can have a fair spar, but instead, we will be your opponent" Asahi suggested, but wasn't enough to convince the children as Reiki retorted;

"Tsk, why would we want to spar you, are you strong?"

It was not only Reiki but also the other kids seemed to have the same thought as him, noticeable by their deadpan look toward Asahi,

To that, Asahi simply punched his fist into the wooden wall, creating a spiderweb crack through the wall.

"WOW!" 

They are still children and a simple demonstration of strength is enough to earn their admiration as their eyes blink shiningly.

For their admiration, Asahi smiled smugly when all of a sudden dozens of floating screens popped out of nowhere surprising him.

[Save 'Monga' Data?]

[Save 'Mamushiki Reki' Data?]

. 

. 

.

A total of seven floating screens popped up, each for every child present, making Asahi once again question what are the conditions to save the data of a person.

'As I thought, there seems to be a need for an interaction but not just a simple interaction, there seems to be a special condition needed but I can't figure out what it is.' 

"HEY! WHAT DID YOU BRATS DO TO MY WALL?!!" 

Asahi's thoughts were interrupted by a hoarse voice screaming at them, it came from the owner of the wall that he had just punched.

"Quick! Run!" Asahi ordered as the children ran for their lives under the lead of Osamu who was the fastest among them.
