Naruto Law of the Devil

"So, he can use ninjutsu at such a young age?"

"Yu is truly a genius!"

Seeing Yu in front of them, who could already use the healing jutsu at such a young age, the two girls, Maya and Momoka, had hearts practically bursting with admiration.

"You know..."

"Even the official medical ninjas in the village can't do this!"

The children in this world... They mature so early...

Sensing the hearts filled with admiration from the two girls beside him, Yu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He hadn't expected to gain two little admirers so quickly.

"But why does this white-haired kid look so familiar?"

His gaze returned to the silver-gray-haired child in front of him, who was steadily recovering under Yu's healing jutsu. Yu furrowed his brow slightly.

Looking at the child with silver-gray hair in front of him, gradually waking up under Yu's healing jutsu, Yu couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen him somewhere before.

But it was like there was a missing piece of the puzzle, and Yu couldn't quite recall it, so he didn't dwell on it and continued to focus on treating the child.

"It's been only a year since he was brought back from that battlefield and started following me."

"Not only has he successfully refined chakra but he also learned healing jutsu on his own."

Watching Yu perform the healing jutsu on the small, frail figure, his silver-gray hair gradually being restored, Yakushi Nono stood in place, seemingly lost in thought. "This child's talent in ninjutsu... it's truly astonishing."

"And the effectiveness of this technique..."

Looking at the silver-gray-haired child before her who was gradually waking up under Yu's healing jutsu, Yakushi Nono couldn't help but express her amazement.

Healing jutsu involved concentrating chakra in one's palm and directing it at the target to achieve a healing effect. Throughout the entire Leaf Village, those who could use healing jutsu were primarily the official medical ninjas of the Leaf Medical Corps. This was because it not only required mastery of the technique but also a level of chakra control beyond that of an ordinary person.

Yet Yu, at the tender age of five, had managed to achieve this in just a year of training.

Such talent and ability.

Even Yakushi Nono, who had executed espionage missions in various countries of the ninja world in the past, admitted that she had never seen anything like it.

Looking at Yu in front of her, Yakushi Nono's memory seemed to return to a year ago, when she had first seen Yu on the battlefield where the Fire Country's Leaf Ninja had suffered a defeat at the hands of the Wind Country's Sand Ninja.

Yu's appearance had been completely different from the other war orphans, who cried and screamed. The first time Yakushi Nono saw Yu, although the child's face had been smeared with a little blood, his amber eyes were calm and composed, even with a hint of curiosity.

He resembled a newborn baby in this world, and Yakushi Nono remembered him at first glance because of his pale hair, as bright as moonlight.

"I am the director of the Leaf Orphanage, Yakushi Nono. What is your name?"

"I don't have a name."

"Then—let me give you a name. How about calling you 'Yakushi Tetsubari'? Or 'Yakushi Maru'? Or maybe 'Yakushi Shin'?"

"... ... ..."

"Tetsubari? Shin? Have I traveled to the world of Crayon Shin-chan or Doraemon? Can't you think of a slightly more normal name?"

Looking at the woman in front of him, who appeared gentle on the outside but had a dark side, Yu couldn't help but go on a mental rant.

"Ahem, it seems like you don't like any of those."

Feeling that the young boy in front of her was starting to give her strange looks, Yakushi Nono felt a bit embarrassed. After clearing her throat a couple of times, she finally regained her gentle smile.

"Well, how about just 'Yu'? Yakushi Yu. I hope that in the future, you can be as free as a bird, with no constraints, and the sky can be your home."

...

"Director! He's awake!"

Maya exclaimed from the side.

Bringing Yakushi Nono's thoughts back to the present, she saw that the silver-gray-haired child in front of her had already fully regained consciousness thanks to Yu's healing jutsu.

"You're really amazing, Yu!"

Seeing that Yu had managed to save the dying child in just a few minutes, Urushi beside him was filled with envy.

"What's your name?" Yakushi Nono smiled gently and asked the now-conscious child.

However, the response he received was a blank expression from the silver-gray-haired child.

"What about your parents?" Seeing the child's bewildered silence, Yakushi Nono continued to inquire.

Upon hearing Yakushi Nono's questions, the silver-gray-haired child's eyes dimmed, and he remained silent.

"You don't know anything? Really!" Seeing the child's lack of response, Urushi, who was standing beside Yu, complained.

"When I was treating him just now, I observed him."

Yu's eyes were fixed on the silent child in front of him, with silver-gray hair.

Yu nodded thoughtfully. He had probably guessed the child's identity.

"He most likely suffered a head injury and has completely lost his memory."

"Well, let's take him back to the village for now." Upon hearing Yu's diagnosis, Yakushi Nono agreed with a nod. "Urushi, help him."

"Why does this kind of thing always get assigned to me?"

Hearing that Yakushi Nono was once again passing this exhausting task to him, Urushi grumbled.

"Lucky you," Yu said, rolling his eyes. "Give me your hand."

Although he complained, Urushi still stepped forward and hoisted the silver-gray-haired child onto his shoulder.

While it was still dusk, Yu, Yakushi Nono, and their group of six quickly set off on the road back to the Leaf Village.

During this Third Great Ninja War, if they didn't return to the village before nightfall, they would face strict security checks at the entrance.

After about ten minutes of walking, Yu and Yakushi Nono's group finally returned to the Leaf Orphanage.

This place was located on the outskirts of the Leaf Village, practically pushed out of the bustling center of the village.

There was also a wooden building here, somewhat resembling a classroom.

This was the Leaf Orphanage, the home of Yu, Urushi, Maya, and the other orphans in this world.

"We're finally back!"

Returning to his home at the Leaf Orphanage, Urushi unceremoniously dropped the child he had been carrying on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Yu."

At this moment, Yakushi Nono, standing nearby, looked apologetically at Yu. "With your talent and abilities in ninjutsu..."

"If we could send you to the ninja academy for training, you would undoubtedly become an outstanding ninja in the future."

At this point, Yakushi Nono's gaze dimmed. "But with just the financial support from the village and the nation..."

Clearly, Yakushi Nono had recognized Yu's exceptional talent and aptitude in ninjutsu. If they could enroll him in the Leaf Ninja Academy for training, Yu would undoubtedly become an excellent ninja in the future.
