A nearby rustle presented the apparition of a squad of ninjas with Konoha headbands and Uchiha's symbols.
"We found another group of criminals." Said one of the shinobis.
"This is the 4th now, they have a curse on their tongues that makes it impossible to interrogate..." Another one added.
They then approached the bodies and started looking for clues.

"Fugaku, the kid is still alive."

Fugaku approached the kid and noticed that he was still firmly holding a katana even while being unconscious.
'Did he get help when he got ambushed? That's impossible, there are clear indications of these shinobis preparing an ambush... Did this little kid really kill 3 chunins by himself?'

He stayed silent for several seconds, the sounds of searching the surroundings was all that could be heard.
Fugaku then observed the kid very closely and saw the scarring sholder and the other very bruised shoulder.
'He really fought them head on by himself...'

"Akira, bring him to the our clan's doctor. I will personally interrogate him."
"Understood."

With that, the corpses were collected and the scene cleaned up.
...............

{Congratulations to the host for completing his first mission <Kill a living person> !}
{ Exp gained }

{Host has killed 3 low level Chunins at the same time, streak awarded. +3 coins}

{System has taken the initiative to loan you 3 coins to unlock [White-Ichigo] to save host. 3 coins will thus be deducted.}
{-3 coins}

'What... a system? Shop?'

{Exp too low to unlock shop.}

'What the hell happened? I only remember fighting those goons... I did get reincarnated so a system existing isn't so surprising, it's looks fun even.' Thought Dantes until he suddenly opened his eyes and calmly observed his surroundings.

There were a few beds here and there where a few people getting their wounds patched up with bandages by nurses.
Sometimes they would use a green glow from their hands to close bleedings.

"You are finally awake little one, you young people are so resilient. Surviving your conditions with just sheer will power is astonishing.

Anyway you're as good as new except for that scar on your shoulder but don't worry! Girls love that hahahaha!" His laugh resounded in the whole hospital but people didn't react to him. Perhaps a common occurrence.

'What a weird old man.'

"Thank you ...?"
"You can just call me Old Man." He said as if proud of his name.

"..." Dantes was speechless.

"Anyway go see little Fugaku. Never seen him accord importance to anyone other than the clan in so many years."

Dantes then obeyed and started walking before he came to an halt, he was lost... The Uchiha clan was big...

"Hello, are you new here?" He heard a kid's voice behind him. As he turned around he saw a kid with black eyes and somewhat long hairs falling till his neck. He was observed by the him for a few moments.

"Hum, I was informed that Fugaku-senpai is calling me."

The boy's originally calm expression turned into one of curiosity.
"Why are you searching fath-... hum. Follow me." The boy turned around and walked toward a house like any.

"You're finally awake, I remember telling that old man to accompany you."
As they crossed the door, they heard an emotionless voice. They saw a man with very dark brown/black hair, his eyes as dark as the kid's.
"You can leave, Itachi."
'Itachi? Isn't that what the girls in my previous life class were fantasizing about ? This means that this is an important character.' He thought while walking toward where Fugaku was siping a beverage from a cup. Itachi stayed for a few seconds before leaving.

"What does senpai needs me for?"

His question was met with silence, he was about to repeat himself.
'He seems awfully calm in the presence of the patriarch of Uchiha, maybe he doesn't know.' Fugaku concluded in his mind.
"What happened in the forest?"

The boy before him looked to the side. And if he was still as sharp as before, this meant that the target was trying to remember vague memories.

"I don't really remember, I just remember being assaulted by 3 people. After that I lost consciousness." He said in a doubtful voice.

'That can't be, the wounds on the corpses were all cause by the kunai and the katana he held on. Which means he fought them while being unconscious...'
'And even then, it doesn't make sense, why would the ninja school expel him? Their reasoning was that he was too aggressive, had no chakra and had almost no talent for anything.

This either means that someone had an agenda for him or he's hiding his real talent'
'Or maybe there's another possibility. He may be gifted for battle only in life and death situations.'
Fugaku then closed his eyes sipped his
tea, his mind producing thoughts after thoughts.
Even in such a desperate situation, in a situation where he could only crawl he still stood tall and cast his excuses into the dirt. Even without chakra, he still stood on the corpses and Fugaku was extremely impressed.

"You have nowhere to go right?" He inquired gently.

"No."

"What do you think about becoming my son?"

"..."

"..."

'...What? Why does he suddenly want to adopt me?!' Though Dantes almost screamed in his mind. Even a school shooting didn't make him this surprised.
'But, this isn't such a bad proposal, I get lodging and free food.'

"Hum, why would you want to adopt me?"

"Do not think too much about it. So what do you say?"

"I mean, I have nowhere to go so of course I will accept your offer Fugaku-senpai." The kid bowed his head deeply.

"You can call me father." Fugaku said gently.

"...Yes, Father." Dantes felt weird. When he was a baby, he wasn't conscious and didn't remember what his parents looked like and didn't feel loved. But now, now he had someone to call father... It felt so alien...
