Naruto Law of the Devil

Chapter 6: The Konoha Orphanage

In the midst of the Third Great Ninja War, when resources in the village were extremely scarce, the Konoha Orphanage relied solely on the financial aid from the Fire Country and the village itself. It was already very difficult to maintain the daily expenses of the orphanage, which had so many children.

Furthermore, today they had brought back another child from outside, and now Yakushi Nono was finding it unrealistic to gather the tuition fee for Yu to enter the ninja school.

"No, Director."

Yu looked up at the apologetic expression on Nono's face.

Yu shook his head and said, "You brought me back from the battlefield, sheltered me, and taught me how to refine chakra and medical ninjutsu."

"I am very grateful to you, and I am well aware of the current situation in the orphanage..."

While saying this, Yu opened his own ninja tool pouch and took out a black bag to hand it to Yakushi Nono.

"What's this?"

"Five thousand ryo?! Where did you get so much money?!"

Yakushi Nono's face was filled with surprise as she opened the bag Yu had handed her. It contained a whopping five thousand ryo, which was the reward for an official ninja completing a D-rank mission in the village.

"Did you forget that I've already learned the Healing Jutsu, Director?"

Seeing the astonishment on Yakushi Nono's face, Yu playfully blinked his large eyes. "Lately, I've been helping treat injured ninja from the village, and this money is what I've accumulated. I hope it can help you and the orphanage."

"As for the tuition fee for the ninja school..."

Even though he was eager to enter the ninja school and become a self-reliant ninja as soon as possible, now that he had awakened the devil inside him and possessed the powerful Thread Fruit ability, Yu was no longer in a rush.

Moreover, he had observed all the financial hardships and income struggles that the Konoha Orphanage had been facing during this time.

So Yu continued to comfort Yakushi Nono, "I will figure something out on my own. After all, there are still a few months until the ninja school starts, right?"

"Yu..."

"You're only five years old..."

As night fell, Yu stood outside the Konoha Orphanage, gazing at the pale, moonlight-like hair of his face, not knowing what to say.

Although he had been brought back from the battlefield and sheltered by the Konoha Orphanage for only a year, the young Yu felt entirely different from any other child.

Yu, who was only five years old, not only kept his clothes exceptionally neat but also had the ability to think and act like an adult, showing remarkable maturity in his demeanor and behavior.

"This can be considered my way of repaying you and the orphanage for taking me in, Director."

Just as Yakushi Nono was about to say something more, Yu gestured to the clock on the wall above. "And now, it's almost nine o'clock..."

"It's time for the orphans in the orphanage to go to sleep."

"I'll go in first!"

With that, Yu turned and walked into the wooden house, leaving behind a small, slender figure that left Yakushi Nono deep in thought.

This child...

He's truly unique...

"Great!"

"As long as I can develop the abilities of the Thread Fruit to the level of Doflamingo from One Piece."

"At least until those terrifying individuals of the Six Paths level don't appear in this world, I'll be able to protect myself!"

In the middle of the night, when all the children in the Konoha Orphanage had already fallen asleep, Yu lay in bed but couldn't sleep.

He couldn't help but think about everything that had happened today.

If he couldn't vividly feel the power of the Thread Fruit currently coursing through his body, Yu would almost believe that everything that had happened today was just a dream.

Turning his body gently on the bed, Yu looked at the moon rising outside the window. His thoughts began to wander again.

Such a bright and white moon...

Who would have thought that this was the vessel for sealing the Ten-Tails created by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, using the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei technique?

I wonder if the Ōtsutsuki clan truly resides on the moon...

Having been sealed for thousands of years by her own two biological sons, and betrayed by her closest relatives, it is no wonder that Kaguya wants to destroy the entire world as soon as she comes out.

Thinking back to twenty years later, the reincarnation eye of Otsutsuki Toneri, a descendant of the Otsutsuki clan, split the entire moon with one blow. Yu couldn't help but yearn for that supreme power that could destroy the world like an immortal.

"In any case, starting from tomorrow, I'll train hard."

"Besides developing the abilities of the Thread Fruit, I won't neglect any other abilities, such as ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu."

"I'll find a way to obtain the secret techniques of human puppets and unlock all the abilities of the devil's laws. By then, I won't have to fear anyone!"

After tossing and turning in bed for a long time, Yu finally drifted into slumber.

The night passed quietly.

The next morning, as a warm ray of sunshine shone on Yu's face, he woke up.

Yu had not slept soundly the previous night, perhaps because there had been too many incredible and surreal events throughout the day.

Thoughts filled his mind during the night, and Yu had experienced a series of strange dreams.

From defeating Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, to reaching the pinnacle of the ninja world, to dying tragically in the Fourth Great Ninja War, to becoming a cheap cannon fodder on the battlefield like the lowest-ranked ninja.

"It seems that there were too many things happening yesterday, and the excitement was overwhelming, leading to restless sleep."

After getting up and freshening up, Yu looked at himself in the mirror.

His delicate and handsome face, paired with his amber-colored eyes and the snowy white fragmented hair, made him exclaim inwardly that he had been given a good appearance in this world—a perfect, adorable face.

After grooming himself, Yu put on the black kimono unique to the Konoha Orphanage. He draped a white haori over his shoulders, similar in style to the priests and nuns he had seen in the church in his previous life, giving him a delicate appearance.

"All right, from now on, working hard to train is the only thing you need to do." Yu murmured to himself as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.

"Hit them!"

"They don't even know their own parents!"

"You village spies!"

Just as Yu was about to leave for his training, a sudden commotion erupted outside the Konoha Orphanage.
