Chapter 8: CH. 8 Exploration and Planning ( Rewrite )
(Third pov)
In the Hokage office, we see Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage. along with his assistant Shikaku Nara. Hiruzen was watching everything that folded happened down below, observing with his hands on his back.
Hiruzen:" What do you think about that kid, Shikaku."
Shikaku:" The kid certainly stands out with hair and eyes. His hair is the same color as Kakashi's hair. And the way he stayed calm after being shouted at by a genin."
Hiruzen:" Shikaku, could you get me information on this kid."
Shikaku:" Are you sure Hokage-Sama? not to be rude, but why? The kid stands out with only his hair and golden eyes."
Hiruzen:" A gut feeling, I've seen many geniuses in my life, and there would always be some that stood out from the rest of them if we could train him with the will of fire before Danzo does, Konoha would have another pillar that supports it."
Shikaku:" Understood Hokage-Sama, I'll get the information on the kid." After saying that, Skikaku left the Hokage office.
Hiruzen:" Now to finish this paperwork." Seeing the piles of paper stacked up, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the professor, was ready to face his greatest enemy. that would go down in history.
(Yuto pov)
< one objective completed, sir >
Walking away from the Konoha front gate, I started to make my way toward the other landmarks.
Reaching Ichiraku ramen, I completed another objective.
'I'll come by here once more in the future.'
Walking away, I go to the clan district, where I found the Senju, Hyuga, Uchiha, and Sarutobi clan houses
< 4 objectives complete, sir >
' Now towards the training grounds'
When I reached there, I saw many other training grounds. Some were being used, and others looked like they hadn't been used in a long time.
'I could train here since nobody is using them. I could also ask Jonin's instructor. I just met to teach me about Chakra and other stuff. '
Walking away from the training grounds, my new destination was the Ninja Academy.
reaching my new destination, I looked at my status screen and noticed that I only had two locations left, I decided to go to the memorial stone first, then the library. Turning around, I walked to the memorial grounds.
The memorial grounds looked like a Kunai, getting closer. I started reading the names of the people who were lost in the war. reading down the list, I spotted two names that caught my attention.
' Obito Uchiha'
'Rin Nohara'
I was about to turn around when I looked to my side, which stood a man with grey hair and a black mask that covered his lower face. and his Ninja headband was covering his left eye.
'Kakashi Hatake'
It seemed that he noticed my staring because of that turned his head towards me, we both stood there looking at each other with a blank faces. That awkward moment was broken when Kakashi took out a book that read 'Icha Icha Paradise.' My face didn't show anything, but I'm sure my eyes told him how much I was disgusted by his action.
And I'm sure he noticed because he gave me that bombastic side eye and chose to ignore me.
'Damn, perverted bastard!!!"
Ignoring him once more, I turned to the memorial monument for one final look and started to walk away to my final destination.
(Kakashi pov)
Putting my research book away, I looked at the names of my former comrades. thinking of them made me look at the kid from earlier.
' weird kid '
Taking out a storage scroll, I took out two lunch boxes wrapped in cloth on the monument. After that, I turned around and started to walk away with my hands in my pocket.
' That kid was irritating '
(Yuto pov)
Reaching the library, I was about to walk in when I checked the side quest.

Walking into the library, it was very spacious with the smell of books. walking up to the counter. an old woman with glasses looked up from her book and spoke kindly.
Old four eyes hag:" Welcome to the library, young man. Do you wish to read books?"
Nodding towards her question. I saw her take out a card, and then she explained what this card was.
Old Hag Yugioh player:" This card here is a library card. Just sign your name here. and you'll just hold onto it."
After signing my name on the card, it's for when you check out books, and they'll copy your info from your card to a checkout book.

Nodding again, I started walking towards Aisle 27. When I reached there, I grabbed the books that mentioned that they were only elementary level, but I picked them to not raise any suspension, setting them on a nearby table I picked books that could be useful.

Nodding at her, I took the books again and started to make my way back to the orphanage.
* 5 min later*
As I opened the door, I heard Nonou walk up to me.
Nonou:" Ah, Yuto!! you should've told me you were going to the library by yourself."
Shrugging my shoulders at her, I went toward my room. Climbing the stairs, I heard Nonou's voice again.
Nonou:" After you put away those books, come down for lunch, alright."
Not bothering to reply, I went toward my room and sat down the books on the study table. then went back downstairs to eat lunch with everyone else.
After eating, I started to read the books one by one.
by the time I was finished, it was dark outside. So I went downstairs to he'll Nonou with the food and after everyone had their fills, I and Nonou cleaned the dishes and tables.
