Chapter 3 - Ch3: Minato Namikaze and the past of this body

After breakfast Yasuke slowly walked towards one of the people who seemed to be in charge of the orphanage, they seemed to be following the old woman's orders.

-Hello, excuse me, but could you tell me where to find grandmother Nora?

-Oh, you're the new one, aren't you?

Yasuke just nodded to confirm.

-Then let me call one of your classmates to take you to Nora-sama's office.

And after finishing saying those words he went to one of the tables that were located in the center of the large dining room, from there he walked the path to the center of the table where he stopped and talked to a boy of apparently the same age as Yasuke, when the boy stood up his appearance was completely seen.

He was a young man with a fair complexion, he has bright blue eyes and spiky blond hair, he had bangs framing both sides of his face, the young man was wearing a white tracksuit with three blue stripes on each sleeve, fishnet t-shirt, dark pants and dark sandals.

The young man advanced to Yasuke's level and with a beaming smile introduced himself.

-Hello, my name is Minato Namikaze," the boy introduced himself.

Yasuke felt strange to see this boy his smile along with his bright blond hair color like the rays of the sun itself, and those piercing blue eyes reminded him of a ninja who wore an orange jumpsuit and shouted that his dream was to be hokage.

-Hello, Minato, my name is Yasuke Shiya," replied Yasuke coming out of his trance.

-Well, you seem to have just arrived at the orphanage so I'll take you to the office where grandma Nora is usually working.

-Yes, thank you Minato, by the way, can you tell me more about this place," said Yasuke as he was led through some corridors following Minato's steps.

-Well the only thing I know is that grandmother Nora built this orphanage after the Warring Kingdoms Period, she was a powerful medical ninja in the Senju clan and during the war she lost her husband and son, after the creation of Konoha she retired from the shinobi lines and together with the support of the Senju clan she created the konoha orphanage for the children who lost their parents in the war.

Yasuke who was listening was surprised, but not so much by the information given by Minato, but more by the fact that Minato knew all this at such a young age.

Minato sensing the silence behind him chuckled in embarrassment and putting his hand behind his head he laughed

-I'm sorry, it might be too much information, but I love to read and even more if it's about shinobi.

-I was just surprised that a boy of your age knew so much information.

-Hey," Minato said, "we're the same age!

-Yasuke could only smile helplessly, it's true that in this world he seemed to be in the body of a five year old child.

And so Yasuke had to listen to Minato talk all the way about how amazing the shinobi were and how they did incredible dangerous missions.

After a few more stories, Minato and Yasuke stopped in front of a wooden door that had kanji written on it with the word office.

Minato stepped forward and knocked hard on the wood of the door with his small hands.

A delicate, elderly female voice confirmed Minato who opened the door to see inside the office.

Inside was a small room that had pale blue walls along with some pictures of what appeared to be groups of children, along with orphanage caretakers, in the center of the room was a somewhat curved table that had several documents on it.

Sitting quietly in the chair behind the desk was Nora with a smile on her sweet and kind face that with the incoming light from the windows behind gave her the appearance of a being full of kindness.

-Oh Yasuke I thought you had already forgotten about this old lady, but it seems Minato was excited to tell you about the shinobi and brought you the long way around.

At this Yasuke turned his head towards Minato, where he could see a pink tinge on the five year old's tender face.

-I just thought that since Yasuke was new I could take him on a tour of the orphanage and let him get to know it better," said the yellow-haired bush with obvious embarrassment.

-Hahaha, relax Minato, I know you meant well," Nora stood up and walked towards the position where Minato and Yasuke were standing.

-Now what I need is for you to leave me alone with Yasuke," said Nora caressing the head of the embarrassed boy.

-It's ok grandma Nora," and after that Minato left the office closing the door behind him.

-Well Yasuke, how about you take a seat and tell me how you got to the orphanage door?

Pov Yasuke

After Minato left the office, the old lady Nora asked me to tell her how I got there, but the problem is that I don't know myself, and I couldn't tell her that I came from another world or she would call me crazy.

So after a quick brainstorming I decided to ask if they found me with something that could help me to create a story about myself.

-The truth is that everything I remember is blurry, don't you have something that could help me remember, like something that was with me when I was unconscious at the door of the orphanage?

After hearing that, the old woman put her hand to her chin as if she was trying to remember something.

-Oh that's right, I forgot about it.

And after those words she got up and began to rummage through the office, and after some murmurs of complaint about her bad memory she took out what seemed to be a suitcase and a long sheathed Japanese sword.

-This is what we found next to you, the suitcase will be your old belongings and this sword I suppose should belong to some of your parents," and after these words he handed me the suitcase, but the sword he kept in his hands.

I just stared at the sword with a certain strangeness, I supposed he didn't give it to me because a sword was not something that a boy of my apparent age should use, not even in a ninja world.

And leaving the matter of the sword behind I could only focus my attention on the suitcase that now resided in my lap.

Carefully I brought my tiny hands towards the lock and with force a click sounded from its lock indicating that its contents could now be revealed, opening it slowly I caught a glimpse inside of what appeared to be a pair of ordinary changes of clothes and a fur cap with black and white spots that seemed to want to resemble those of a leopard

As it was the only product that caught my attention I took my hands towards it and when I felt the softness of its fabric I lifted it, I placed it slowly on my head and when I touched it I felt that some kind of information came to me, this information was about how this body arrived to this orphanage.

In this I could understand that the family of this body was a medical family of a nearby village, in which a disease had begun to spread and infect everyone in the village, but this was not fatal, as the leader of the village had a medicine with which could suppress the effects of this disease, but he sold them at a high price and very few rations so the people plunged into a deep crisis.

However the boy's family had obtained the cure for this virus, but before he could supply it he was hunted down and killed by renegade ninjas who were hired by the village leader and only he was able to save himself.

After these memories although I did not feel any sadness it seems that the boy's body did not feel the same and my body began to shake uncontrollably and tears ran down my cheeks.

Nora who was in front of me waiting for me to remember something was surprised to see me cry suddenly and quickly held me in her arms and pressed me to her chest until I stopped crying.

-Calm down little boy, tell grandma Nora what you remembered.

I just nodded and told her the memories of the boy's body, which I promised I would help her avenge his parents.

Continara....
