Shinobi

1 year later

On a dark night

In Haruku's room

Only a dim light was on in the room.

And Haruku stood in front of the mirror wearing a long black cape with a red interior.

His skin was pale, and his ears were elongated, pointed at the end

With slick black hair, his eyes were glowing red in the dim light.

He looks like a devil

And as he gives a devilish smirk, his teeth as white as milk appear, with his canines standing out as they were longer and sharper than humans.

He appeared to be cosplaying as a vampire, but the difference was that he did not use any fake props.

His pale skin and bright red eyes were real in that color, as were his teeth and ears.

These changes were the byproduct of his assimilation abilities, as he can make some minor changes to his appearance and even return to his normal looks.

Seeing his appearance, he has a satisfied smile on his face.

"I am Dracula."

"I bid you welcome."

As he speaks, his voice resembles a certain character from his previous life.

'a-oooooooo..'

Suddenly there was a howling sound in the background

"listen- to them children of the night, what music they make." He was clearly absorbed in his act.

However, with his small height and childish face, it appears that some old devil had possessed him.

Just then, he hears his mother coming upstairs.

In a hurry, he removes his cape and hides it under his bed.

After that, his appearance begins to change:

his ears become normal, his skin tone returns to a healthy light hue, and his eyes turn blue.

His hair also turned light brown.

Then he climbed silently into his bed and lay down, pretending to sleep.

Soon after his mother, Hazuki quietly opens the door of his bedroom and checks on him.

"Hmm, is he asleep? Then where did the sound come from?"After confirming that he was sleeping

Just as Hazuki closed the door, Haruku opens his eyes and starts to mutter in a cold voice

"I am vengeance, I am the night"

'I'

'Am'

'Batman'

After that, he closes his eyes and sleeps.

The following day, Haruku wakes up early and after finishing his daily morning routine,

physical exercise, he freshens up and now was thinking of what he should do for the rest of the day.

Just then, someone rings the doorbell, and Haruku notices a familiar scent in the air with his enhanced senses.

Haruku rushes to open the door.

"Tadaima, Haru" Yagami was standing on the front; he has finally returned after a week.

"Dad!" Haruku immediately jumps on him and tightly hugs him.

During this time, Yagami was on a mission, as when he was leaving, he informed that he will most likely not return for the next 4 to 5 days.

"Dad, it has been a week. Were you on a secret mission? Are you hurt anywhere?"Haruku immediately bombarded Yagami with a lot of questions, which made him overwhelmed, but there is a smile on his face; having returned to his home and knowing his family is waiting for him there, he feels happy.

Soon, Hazuki arrives at the door, and seeing Yagami there, she has moist eyes and says in an emotional voice.

"Welcome back, dear"

"yeah! I am back, and in one piece."Seeing the faces of his son and wife, he feels completely relaxed.

They then enter the house, and after Yagami has freshened up, they eat lunch together.

After lunch, Yagami and Haruku were playing shogi.

"Dad, how was the mission? Did you fight anyone?"

Haruku asks his father expectantly.

"Well, Haru, I cannot tell you about the details of the mission because it was an S-class mission and everything about it is forbidden to expose.

But I can tell you that the mission was successful; we even got into conflict with the ninjas of Iwagakure.

"Dad, then what happened?" Haruku was obviously interested in hearing his father.

"Well, as our squad came to face their squad, we got into conflict, and you know that I alone took three of their jonins. They did not even make me sweat." he was trying to boast about himself in front of son

Seeing the expression on his son's face makes him proud.

"Wow!, Dad, you are truly amazing."

Haruku's eyes sparkle as he finally makes up his mind.

"Dad, i also want to be like you 'A shinobi'. Please, Dad, teach me how to refine the Chakra." Haruku asks his father in a hopeful tone with puppy eyes.

"Ha ha ha, Haru, if you want to become a shinobi, you will have to train very hard."

Yagami was happy to know that his son wanted to be like him, but his expression turned serious.

"Haru, tell me why you want to be like me, why you want to be a shinobi, what is your motive to become a shinobi"

Yagami asks him seriously because, as the son of ninjas, he will not have a normal life, and being a ninja is not a children's game.

It is a different world, a world of conflict in which you never know when you will die, so every shinobi should have a strong will and a reason for being a ninja.

'why? i want to become a shinobi' Knowing that his father is serious, he replies.

"Dad, I want to become the strongest"

Haruku clearly expresses his true feelings about why he wants to be a shinobi.

Hearing this, Yagami was initially disappointed, but as Haru continues to speak, he becomes surprised.

"Dad, as a shinobi, you are stronger than the rest;

you are responsible for protecting us;

you are in the front to face any threat our village faces;

even in the dark, you are constantly battling with other villages;

many of the villagers may not even know you, but they can still safely sleep because of you.

You are the reason why everyone in the village feels safe

And you know, dad, that every time you leave for a mission, mom becomes worried, and sometimes when you do not return for days, she even cries to herself; I cannot see her in that state, which is why I want to be like you' a shinobi' , to protect you, mom and the village."

"To protect, is that why you want to become a shinobi, Haruku?"

Yagami asks him seriously.

"Yes Dad!" after finishing, even Haruku was surprised

'wow! I did not know that i could speak that well'

" Fine, as you want, my son, I can only help you, but you will have to do the hard work yourselves."

After that, Yagami explains about the chakra to Haruku.
