The most expendable entity in this world.

"So I can understand that you can help me?"

"Yes, but they still can't help you directly, so you'll have to wait a little longer"

"..."

'I have to wait?'

"So I can't go taking out more entities?"

"That won't be possible"

Then he seems to remember something.

"Oh, I almost forgot, there is still an entity that has not met that, like me, has always been free"

"!?, was there such a thing?"

"Yes, but it's a bit peculiar so it always goes unnoticed"

Now that he's said that, I'm curious.

"So where is he?"

"Here"

...

Then the butler guides me to where the back of the patio should be.

We arrive at what seems to be a patio where in the distance I can see a small figure that seems to be sweeping.

"Child?"

He then seems to notice me then I see him start coming towards our position at full speed.

So the first thing I hear instead of an introduction seems to be a reprimand.

"You!! You finally decide to show your face! Do you know how many times you could have died because of your decisions? You got into a lot of trouble, plus you're getting entangled with a hidden danger that could potentially kill you in the future-" The boy blurts out what seemed to be words accompanied by frustration.

Hearing his words I feel stunned.

Then in the midst of my daze I see that the dark entity around me grabs the boy's clothes, who is a little smaller than him, and then brings him closer to his face.

"Do you want to shut up for once, are you making a lot of noise? If you want, you can go somewhere else to shout because otherwise I'll get it for you"

I see that the dark entity Shadow seems to look directly at the boy with crimson eyes that carry sinister intentions in them.

But instead the boy doesn't seem to be intimidated and just fights back.

"You too, like the rest, are a hidden problem that will threaten our lives! So you don't have the right to silence me just because I'm telling the truth"

"Shut up brat, what could someone your age know about these things, power is the only word in this world, living a mediocre life will only make you more miserable than you are not to mention you won't be in control of your miserable life "

Listening to their conversation incidentally I just found out a few things, not to mention that they seem to know each other right now they have me intrigued to know what they are talking about for a while.

"Hey, what have you been talking about for a while?"

Hearing my question, they both turned their heads to look at me.

"Ah, about that, don't worry, just silly advice, it won't do you any good to listen to it, actually, I think it's better to leave it here because it will only infect you with cowardice at this rate"

The boy doesn't seem to take Shadow's talk anymore.

"You shut up, you don't know what you're talking about-"

"Silence!"

So, seeing that they are going to start fighting again, I decide to intervene by raising my voice.

My words seem to work and the heated argument cools down.

"As I asked before, what are you guys talking about?"

I turn my attention to the child.

"You didn't find out until now, I'm talking about all the incensary trouble you've caused so far"

"Issues?"

"Yes, trouble"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the decisions you've made so far about walking the ninja path"

"Is that a bad decision?"

"Of course, you could have abandoned the ninja life to begin with, avoiding future problems to begin with, are you aware that when ninjas grow up they are sent on missions where they are likely to die, if we were only civilians we would have lived more comfortably even if it had taken us a while more in obtaining power, because after all that system is very uncertain and does not ensure that it will always help us grow in power-"

Shadow seeming to take no more talk.

"Shut up shorty, that's called cowardice, if we had become civilians then we probably never would have obtained knowledge from the ninja academy to be able to refine chakra and we would have been defenseless for a long time like fish on a chopping board!"

"That's no excuse, at least if we hadn't become ninjas we'd have a better chance of living because after all we're not children of fate and we're not always going to get away with it, not to mention that we've been very close to Satsuki who clearly she will go crazy in the future and could kill us, don't you remember that the original Sasuke almost killed Naruto several times and almost killed Sakura, which prevents him from doing it with us out of revenge"

"Silence, getting away hadn't had much of an effect because after all we've already gotten involved with her"

"But-"

"stop"

The butler next to me intercepts the conversation.

"I think they should discuss another time, the time is drawing near"

The two who were arguing stop upon learning of the situation.

When he says that I realize that my time to go is getting closer.

"As a last piece of advice I should tell him to take care of himself, if he is very involved with the children of destiny then at some point things will get very lively"

So when the butler talks Shadow says something too.

"It's true, the atmosphere has always felt a bit off"

Then before he can ask anything my vision goes black.

'Is there anything else to ask...'

.

..

...

Then I wake up from my slumber.

"Hmm-.."

Then I remember everything that happened while I was sleeping.

'So I went back to that place'

I feel like that place is a bit strange but at the same time I somehow feel very intimate with it.

Then I think about the last thing they told me.

Although I can understand what the butler said, what has me intrigued is what Shadow said.

Even though I think and rethink, I can't grasp anything.

'What exactly feels weird?'

He stopped thinking because I see that I will not reach a solution in the short term.

Sunbeams cross my window illuminating my eyes.

Then I realize something.

"Shit, I'm going to be late for class"

Then I get up quickly as I get ready to speed off to school.
