My New Fanfic: A Reboot Of Ifanfic

Chapter 5 - Red and black.

In front of the entrance gate of hidden leaf village, the guards, as usual, are relaxing and acting very lazily since nothing happened in a very long time even though they're in a war period it doesn't seem to affect their calm and lax maneuver which would probably be completely unacceptable in any other village, not that it's not unacceptable but it's just not as much of a priority as to should be.

While the relaxed guards just laid on their chairs doing nothing but that didn't last as much as they expect it to since they heard the cries of a child that appears to be in panic from the cream earlier, both of them who are currently inside the gate guard hut put their heads out the window only to seem a boy that appears to be around 8-10 years old running pretty fast for his age and size. After a little while, the boy got much closer and they could see his features and were just blasted away by it since a kid that is many years younger than then has a way better physique than them together and not only that but even his hair and face were amazingly good looking.

Both just stood there in a dazed state looking at the boy who was getting closer by minute while in an obvious panicked state as the two idiots just kept looking as if waiting for something to happen instead of trying to help or stop him at all.

Ingenuus seeing how the two gate guards just kept looking at him without any kind of productive reaction since their just gawking like perverts which made him want to reconsider going to hidden leaf for a second before throwing that thought to the back of his mind thinking that if something goes wrong he can just use one of his teleport scrolls. After running for some time Ingenuus finally reached the entrance gate of the leaf village while in a pitiful state since he's dirty with and sweating a lot making it seem as if he has been running from something for a long time and since he was breathing heavily once he stopped running both guards came out of their dazed state and immediately went to check the boy's state but both cautious, unlike their previous attitude which is way more appropriate for their task.

Ingenuus seeing them act more cautiously was slightly calmer not because their showing caution towards him but more because this proves that it's still possible to shape these people into the correct attitude towards their function and that doesn't apply only to the gate guards but many things in hidden leaf are done sloppily or poorly making the village's output both economically and politically weak, especially because of the pacifist rule they decided to take which only makes them vulnerable to the other big villages, in summary, they are fools at least in Ingenuus view. Ingenuus knows he's no genius himself but even he understands that the way hidden leaf acts is weak except for some times where Danzo or Minato was in command of the situation, Danzo is trash that should be eliminated but can also be useful if one has the right tools to control him properly not that Ingenuus ever plans to work with him, but if Ingenuus can he'll use Danzo and once he has enough power Ingenuus will immediately eliminate him.

But right now Ingenuus already has enough to worry about like Elma, infiltrating hidden leaf, and how to best win the trust of big shots influence wise like Hiruzen, Minato, Tsunade, Danzo(just in case, since it's dangerous if he seems Ingenuus as an enemy) and some minor but still influential ones like Fugaku and Hiashi. Other minor clans like Nara, Inuzuka, Akimichi, and Yamanaka that also have a great impact would also make a big difference especially the Nara since if they get suspicious of him it might be problematic but the possibility of it happening is not so high, Yamanaka don't really worry Ingenuus once the system will hide any crucial information until he can do it himself and clans like Akimichi and Inuzuka don't represent a threat to his plan but Ingenuus won't overlook them and befriend them the same.

Random leaf ninja(1): "Hey kid, are you ok?"

Said one of the ninjas with a slightly worried expression that couldn't fool Ingenuus since he could feel some hostility even in those 'kind' words directed to him.

The second ninja just stood there looking at Ingenuus with a 'care' expression while on guard and ready for any attack that might happen, making Ingenuus start to rethink if he didn't underestimate hidden leaf's seriousness but Ingenuus was never the stubborn type to hold onto old beliefs regardless if they're wrong, rather then that he's more the type that easily accepts new ideas while accepting his own mistakes, even so, it didn't change the fact they are way too lax compared to others.

Ingenuus: "*Huff*... *Huff*... *Huff*, yes... *Huff*... I'm... *Huff*... Ok."

Ingenuus said while breathing heavily to feign tiredness while holding his knees with his head lowered and for someone watching from the outside side he looked exactly how he should after running like that, both leaf ninjas looked at him with appraising eyes for a little before looking at each other and loosening a bit of their 'well hidden' tension making the atmosphere somewhat better.

Random leaf ninja(1): "What were you running away from?"

The ninja asked way calmer than before and now with a more 'genuine' expression of kindness.

Ingenuus: "I woke up in the forest, then when I was looking for a safe place I ended up being chased by some wolves after a long time of hiding and running I saw this village so I ran as fast as I could to reach it before I found any more dangerous animals"

Ingenuus explained the story he made up while walking here, because of his act Ingenuus had to make various expressions from anxious to scared to reliaved. For those who know his usual indifference seeing Ingenuus act like this would be a major surprise.

Both ninjas looked at the boy and seeing his physique and dirty look it did seem like a possible story yh since any normal kid would just have died trying to run away from wolves but considering the speed, they saw earlier they thought it might actually be true, but as gate guards in a period of war, they couldn't just let it go this easily and started shooting question like where are your parents or the person responsible for you? how many days did you spend in the forest? Did you have any food with you and if so how much? at Ingenuus without even giving him time to properly breathe before asking something else and even Ingenuus was starting to get somewhat annoyed at their persistence even though he was answering as well as he could making pauses to think and saying things like I don't know or don't remember since it would be suspicious if a child who just came out of this kind of situation to be able to perfectly answer every question but the leaf ninjas just wouldn't stop, seeing no other solution Ingenuus throw away some of his pride and shame by starting to cry like any other child with everything he had.

The two ninjas didn't know what to do since one of them was not a father yet and the other one didn't even have a girlfriend.

Because of the commotion caused by this, some of the bypassers started to stop to look at what was happening and many were surprised to find a very cute child crying covered in dirt and some of the mothers present started giving ominous looks at the two ninjas who didn't have any idea of how you solve this while the rest of the present mothers wanted to go there and give the cute child a hug then take him home given him a bath and raise him. When a woman suddenly shouted.

???(1): "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT KID?!"

A red-haired woman yelled at the two panicking ninjas who were trying to think of a way to calm the child down.

Random leaf ninja(1): "We did nothing wrong, miss, we just asked a few questions since he seemed suspicious"

The ninja who was startled by the sudden appearance of the red-haired woman did his best to explain their actions.

Red-haired woman: "Yeah, but you obviously went overboard! The poor kid is crying couldn't you at least take him to the hospital and them take him to the Yamanaka"

The woman said with a very displeased expression at their work.

Random leaf ninja(2): "Miss, you can't just talk to my colleague like that we did what we could, we just didn't expect the kid to start crying! You can't just go and critici others works when you probably wouldn't do better"

The second ninja who completely disliked to see himself and his friend get 'lectured' by this woman in front of everyone yelled at her in response, Ingenuus who saw what was happening made an effort to continue crying and hoped this would finish fast.

The red-haired woman did like the man's answer at all and shouted.

Red-haired woman: "What did you say?! dattebane!!"

The red-haired woman yelled as her hair started floating and both men as many of the people watching widened their eyes as if realizing who she is. While Ingenuus who had long known who she was and had an idea of how this would play out. The woman started beating both men up before they had a chance to apologize.

While the red-haired woman was beating the two ninjas up in between the crowd a pitch-black haired woman came to the scene and immediately looked at the red-haired woman sighed and said.

Pitch-Black haired woman: "Why does she always jump into trouble like this?"

After saying this she looked around noticing crying Ingenuus and started moving to him. Once she got close enough she kneeled and said.

Pitch-Black haired woman: "Why are you crying little one?"

She asked with a gentle smile on her face as she waited for Ingenuus to answer.

Ingenuus seeing her behavior acted according to what he had already set even though he didn't like it, it was a sacrifice necessary for a better good.

Ingenuus: "I-I... Was just trying to-to... Find a safe place but-but... The mean guys wouldn't let me in and kept asking questions even-even... When I answered they just asked another question!"

Ingenuus said this just like any crying kid who felt unfaired would and the Pitch-Black haired woman hugged him and said.

Pitch-Black haired woman: "There, there, don't worry look that big sister over there already give them a lesson now be a good and strong grown boy, you don't want other kids to think you're a cry-baby right?"

She said while hugging Ingenuus with a warmth that felt somewhat maternal to him but he didn't let that pleasant feeling trick him, he was very well aware that the woman holding him was in high alert and would attack at the first sight of a weird movement.

Ingenuus nodded to her words and stopped crying as he slowly wiped the tears from his eyes. The people around got somewhat touched by the scene while some of the mothers regretted not having gone there themselves seeing how much cuter he was now that some of the mud on his face was removed.

The Pitch-Black haired woman walked to the red-haired woman while holding Ingenuus in her embrace.

Pitch-Black haired woman: "Kushina, I think that's enough we have to take the boy inside and check his condition."

She said to the red-haired woman who had already calmed down and turned with a smile seeing the boy was no longer crying. Ingenuus started at Kushina while inspecting her toes to head while thinking of the image he has of her from the knowledge he has from his past life.

Kushina is a beauty with a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet eyes, and the common Uzumaki red hair. It reaches her waist with shoulder-length strands that frame both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left. She's wearing a high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, loose-fitting dress with a wristband on her left wrist and standard shinobi sandals. After making a full inspection without really hiding his gaze he realized she looks much more beautiful in person than she ever did in the anime.

Kushina: "Don't worry Mikoto, I was careful not to break too many bones. It's their fault for making such a cute boy cry... I know I'm a beauty but I never thought my charm was so big even child would fall for me, hahaha!"

She said in a cheerful mood like if all that just happened was just a small lapse and she was never angry in the first place. Noticing Ingenuus obvious gaze Kushina decided to tease him a bit.

But unlike Kushina's expectations instead of shying away Ingenuus simply nodded in agreement and said.

Ingenuus: " Hn, very pretty"

Even though Ingenuus wanted to use a word like beautiful or dazzling, he thought that in his current situation it was more appropriate to say this.

Kushina: "You?..."

Kushina who felt bested by a child didn't say anymore and simply started walking alongside Mikoto who was laughing at her friend.
