Chapter 16: What a small world we live in

The elves were dazed, however they were still cautious of their messy white haired savior who wore a gray hoodie with a vector logo of a panda's head and hazel shorts. Yohan saw this and sighed.

He released his lightning chakra cloak and said "Relax I mean no harm. If I wanted to kill you, you would have no chance to resist." With the two bear corpses behind him providing substance to his words, the elves relaxed a bit. The elvish man however, was still staring at him, standing, gritting his teeth and grasping his left arm, not letting his guard down. "Your injury was deeper than you judged, let me heal your wounds." Yohan drew near the elf, then while extending his hand above his arm he spoke softly "[Wood Release: Rejuvenation]" after which a mellow verdant light glowed from his palm. The blood seemed to have seeped through the elf's skin and back into his blood stream and the gash was closing rapidly. When he lifted his clutching hand, he saw the skin as if being mended and resown, join together once more leaving no scars.

With that, the elves no longer doubted that Yohan didn't have any ulterior motives. They gathered after which Yohan said. "Oh, sorry for my manners, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Yohan Uchiha... a passing... 10 year old...." His introduction made them shocked, 'Why is a 10 year old out so deep in the forest full of monsters' however reminded of his capabilities they didn't voice out their thoughts.

"I am Falnis and these are my daughters." The middle aged elf introduced. Falnis looked upon his saviour who was more than two heads shorter than him.

"I'm Arwen," "Ayne" "A-Acia" The girls each introduced themselves. The girls were very pretty and they all looked the same, but, Yohan was able to distinguish very minute differences in their appearances.

"They're actually triplets." Falnis further explained their identical looks. "We're forest elves and were going to seek refuge in Hakono." 'Elf' was just a general name, in fact there were a few types of elves. The royal family were part of a group of special elves called 'fae' who are distinct for their fairy wings, they were recognized as the royals by all the other elves. Sylvie had yet to grow these wings since she was still too young. Another group of elves were 'high elves' and were accustomed to cities, much like humans. Another were 'dark elves' who were tanned versions of the high elves and they lived in both cities and the wilderness in villages. 'Forest elves' sometimes called 'wood elves', which unlike the other elves, had short pointy ears instead and usually prefer the forests, hence their name.

"Refuge?" Yohan looked puzzled.

"Well, our village was overwhelmed by a large group of monsters. We had barely managed to escape, however we fell behind the group and had to fend for ourselves." Falnis explained, however the triplets looked down when he said that. Yohan was pondering and did feel that lately monsters have been appearing much more frequently, in large numbers and increasing strength. 'Forest elves should be strong since they live in forests with monsters and require enough strength to defend themselves, those monsters definitely weren't weak for them to force a whole village of forest elves to flee.'

"Well, if you wish to go to Hakono, I can lead you to the edge of the forest nearest to the city or I can just take you to the city." Yohan gave options.

"Oh no we wouldn't want to take much of your time, just taking us to the edge would be more than enough." Falnis said.

"Actually taking you directly would be much easier for me, those patrols don't know I'm here." Yohan explained. Falnis was hesitant, he looked at the girls' worn-out expressions

"T-Then if you don't find it too much trouble, please take us to Hakono... erm.. benefactor.. Yohan." Falnis finally said. Yohan raised his thumb.

"Sure thing!" Yohan closed his eyes, and opened them once more showing Obito's mangekyo sharingan pattern in his eyes.

'Mana m-mutation' Falnis was stunned, while the girls couldn't take their eyes off of Yohan's mesmerizing eyes. Mana mutation is similar to kekkei genkai of Naruto. What it is, is when a part of an individual's body is able to make use of mana to produce a sort of unique magic, for example, one individual could have a nose which can distinguish and pick up mana signatures or their wind pipe could allow the person to spit fire, another could have their larynx produce a sort of hypnotic magic with their voices much like sirens. It wasn't uncommon, as shown by the easily dispersed crowd after Amber's combat exam celebration, however many mana mutations were useless.

"Kamui!" A spiral sucked them into a large space. "While I can take you there, I don't want to get caught. So, I'll find a place where there aren't any cameras."

"Where have you taken us?" Arwen asked, still looking around.

"This is my dimension, I can take people in and out of it as I please." Yohan answered. This made them all stunned especially Falnis who knew this was a result of Yohan's mana mutation. "Also, when someone asks how you got there, can you not mention me?" Falnis agreed, he understood that sometimes attention isn't wanted. The girls also curtly nodded in agreement. "Great, I'll be right back."

'Even if we did mention of a 10 year old being able to perform everything Yohan has done, we would just be called crazy.' Falnis pondered. This was another point since even if they were to find Yohan he could just play dumb.

Yohan appeared on top of an apartment building. He found a place with very little people about and no cameras, and appeared there. A spiral appeared on his right eye, after which 4 elves appeared. "Welcome to Hakono! That direction should be the city hall. Since you can use intermediate spells, you must be a mage. You can work for one of the guilds to earn some money to live on. I see your daughters can use low-tier magic, if they train a bit more they can easily land themselves in one of the major magic academies. If you have no other questions, I'll be off." Yohan waved.

"W-wait!" This time Acia spoke up. The other three elves were surprised. Acia was actually the shyest of the triplets. "I-Is there a way to get in t-touch with you?" Acia stuttered.

"Oh, sure." Yohan raised a cupped hand in front of him and extended it to Acia. She saw a seed in it. "All you have to do is add a bit of water then a doppelganger of me will appear, you can find me through him." Yohan still hasn't learned the [Flying Thunder God] jutsu so he can only do this much to keep in touch. A wood clone can use the power of the mangekyo sharingan as shown by Madara. (If Madara's wood clones can use susanoo that means they have to be able to use both eyes separately as well).

"T-Thank you for your help!" Acia said. To which the other three elves also followed in gratitude.

"No problem, glad to be of help, see you all later!" Yohan backed into a wall, slowly sinking into it. For a few seconds, they stared at the wall, recounting the quick encounter with their mysteriously young savior.

~Four days later~

=In a school at Hakono=

Yohan was busy doodling and Stella was in front of him, copying his homework. The bell rang and Stella returned Yohan's homework. The other students hurried to their seats and the teacher waltzed in.

"Morning Class!" The teacher said.

"Morning Ma'am!" The students returned in unison.

"Today we will be greeting three new students." The teacher beckoned to the corridor. Three girls with pointed ears and similar facial features wearing their school uniforms came into the classroom. "Please introduce yourselves girls." The teacher warmly smiled.

"Hello class, My name is Arwen Windrunner," "Mine is Ayne Windrunner," "A-Acia Windrunner" They each introduced. "We hope we can all get along." They said harmoniously. While the other students were clamoring at their arrival. Yohan sat there, a bit stunned.

'What a small world we live in.' It was a bit sooner than he expected.
