Root ninja and danzo left the house at the same time and forgot me here, like it was normal to leave a tiny baby alone.
I really couldn't understand how danzo could love a person so much and not care about him at the same time.
I closed my eyes and focused on the souls around me to make sure that no root ninja was hiding in the house.
When my template reached 10%, I had some degree of control over the souls and could sense them as long as they were near me.
At this moment there were 2 root ninjas standing guard, one on the roof of the house and the other a few meters away from the garden, knowing that they would not be able to come to me without permission, I started to walk out of the house with waddling steps.
Now it was time to really have some fun, and for the first time in my life I was able to move around freely in the garden. I wouldn't have been so relaxed if it wasn't for the two root ninjas following me from behind.
After walking slowly for about 100 meters I finally came across some shops, it was a miracle that I didn't meet any shimura clan members on the way.
After walking a bit more I saw a new shop opening up, a young boy of about 13-14 years old was carrying supplies into the shop from a small wagon.
I had nothing better to do so I decided to sit in a corner and watch this man, people passing by were turning their heads and looking at me but I didn't seem to care.
After the man had finished carrying the stuff he probably noticed me because he called me to him with hand gestures.
I wondered who had the nerve to gesture to Danzo's son and went over to him, at the same time I felt the root ninjas on the roof of a building behind me reaching for the small bags tied to their waists.
When I got to the man he asked me whether I was hungry or not and I told him I was.
The man laughed a few times, stroked my hair, which was slowly turning pale blue because of the template I had gotten, and invited me in.
I was invited into the shop by the young man and I had a quick look inside, apparently it was a small restaurant but I couldn't see any tables.
There was a counter to which the kitchen was attached and on the other side of the counter were bar stools that could only seat 5 or 6 people at a time.
As I was looking at the bar stool, which was the same height as I was, I heard a little tearing sound coming from my heart and I jumped up and quickly sat down on the seat.
After I sat down on the bar stool I saw the young man looking at me with his mouth open and I realized what I had done wrong, I had spent the last half an hour walking like a child who had just learned to walk and then suddenly jumping up to a height higher than my own was very strange for a one year old.
"You must be from a big clan, you have really amazing skills as a ninja."
"Ahahaha, right, I am magnificent."
I gave a quick answer using my acting experience that had accumulated over the last year, the only thing stranger than being extremely skilled was being a child talking like an extraordinarily old person, after all.
The young man smiled at me, told me to wait a few minutes and went into the kitchen behind him.
I used my hand to blow up the dust on my side of the bar counter, even puffing my cheeks a few times to make myself feel more childish.
I no longer felt ashamed of such actions as I did when I was first reincarnated. Being childish and sweet doesn't feel so bad after all.
Closing my eyes and focusing, I saw the root ninjas waiting at the top of the building behind me coming down from the roof and slowly walking towards here.
On their way here, they secretly removed the root symbol from their clothes and put it in their pockets, and while I was wondering what they were going to do, they entered the shop, sat on the bar stools in the corner of the wall and called out to the middle-aged man.
I could identify them now that they had removed the masks from their faces, one of them was a girl and the other a boy, and the only thing they had in common was that they were both very young.
A few seconds later a young man came out of the kitchen with a plate in his hand and when he put the plate in front of me I saw that the food was râmen and I looked at him more closely in shock.
The more carefully I looked the more I could see that this man was an un-aged râmen guy, if I remember correctly his name should have been teuchi or something like that.
I didn't think anyone would suspect what I was going to do anyway, so I narrowed my eyes and watched the man who brought the food carefully.
After several minutes of staring at him I decided that there was nothing strange about his soul, he was either not the reincarnation of the sage of the six paths or he was very skilled at hiding his power.
As I watched him, he was trying to explain to the two root ninja who came to the teuchu shop like ordinary customers that he had not opened the shop yet.
But the root ninjas were very attentive and sarcastically trying to find out why he was giving me food and if he had some hidden agenda.
I stopped watching them, thinking it was time to taste the food in front of me, and was about to take a piece of the ramen and put it in my mouth when an arm holding the fork given to me by the teuchu because I was a child got between me and the food.
I was really annoyed that this root ninja was behaving in such a daring way and I immediately decided to use my secret weapon.
