Naruto: Snow Cold

Eventually, we stopped and were brought into what seemed to be an orphanage. The caretakers were dressed and everything.

I hope a certain anthropomorphic gaming pig doesn't come after us.

-----Somewhere Else at the Hokage's Office-----

In a dimly lit room in the Hokage Tower, with a large wooden table at the center, four old figures could be seen—who else could it be but the Hokage himself and his fellow members of the Konoha Council? Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane.

"It seems that the mission was successful, hm?" said the old Hokage, smoking a pipe with a slight wisp of smoke rising from it.

"Indeed," replied the man with shaggy black hair, bandages covering his left eye, and an X mark below his mouth.

There was a slight silence for a few seconds, and then Homura spoke up.

"We must nurture these children as much as we can and ensure that they reach their full potential."

Nodding, Koharu spoke up as well.

"Kirigakure won't even notice this loss; they're so blind in their own internal battle that they are completely open to attacks."

"So, how should we proceed?" replied Homura.

"Allow me to induct a part of the children into my ROOT. I'll make sure they become strong enough to protect Konoha from the shadows." It was clear who said this.

"Danzo, your methods of training, while they ensure that they become obedient tools willing to carry out any task, are inefficient and impede their growth after a certain point. You won't be receiving any of these children this time," said Hiruzen with a stern look on his face.

"Hiruzen, you're making a mistake by doing this," Danzo replied, his expression remaining unchanged.

"Danzo," Hiruzen threatened, his tone slightly rising.

"Putting the matter of these children aside, we must discuss the funding for these orphanages and other financial issues in Konoha." He said shortly after.

I was bored of just doing nothing but messing around with my chakra and sleeping, so I tried crawling... and guess what? I fucking succeeded!

The gentle sound of my tiny hands patting against the surface filled the air as I pushed myself forward, eager to explore my surroundings.

I went up to a wall and tried standing by pulling myself up onto one of the tables, but I fell with a small thud, hitting the back of my head.

Ow.

But I didn't cry because I'm just tough like that, ha!

So I kept going, exploring the corridor, and eventually found what seemed to be the bathroom. Luckily, there was a mirror just low enough for children to see their reflections. I grabbed a mini chair that was around, got up on it, and saw myself.

As expected, I looked like your average baby, except that I had short white hair and blue eyes. Eh... maybe I could become the honored one, hehehe.

On second thought, never mind. I don't want a 50% off discount like in the manga.

One of the caretakers saw me and started scolding me while picking me up and bringing me back to my room. Annoying.

I'll just wait until she's gone and start exploring again; maybe I can find some books or something to help me!

I can't wait to grow up and start doing cool ninja stuff already.
