I had joined a new clan, surrounded by unfamiliar people and customs. At first, the idea seemed absurd. But in the end, I realized that I had nothing to lose. And when I saw how the master cared for Kai, my doubts began to fade.
Even though they weren't related by blood, the bond between them was like that of a father and son. It was something that I admired greatly. My time as a slave had taught me many things, one of which was how to judge a person's character by their actions and words.
No one could hide their true nature forever. If something was amiss, time would reveal it. And so, the next day, the master began to train Kai and me together. Our training grew more intense with each passing day.
The more I got to know the people of the ninja clan, the more my trust in them grew. Even though I was an outsider, they treated me with kindness and respect.
