Chapter 1: A Rescue
It's been hours since they realized they were trapped in a burning cottage.
Yoshida-san was almost unconscious, for she breathed too much smoke. Kojima-kun and Tsuburaya-kun were close to fainting. Shiho couldn't help but think that it's time to use one of the pills she had made to temporarily return to her original body and destroy the door with the ax, that the culprit used to kill, to escape.
Suddenly, there was a shadow of a person outside. Shiho could only gasp with surprise, half-guessing that it was Kudou-kun while the two conscious boys assuming that the culprit was back to check on them, eyeing the shadow with fear in their eyes. But even so, the three of them were still hoping of a rescue.
"Help!" Kojima-kun was still able to shout, unlike her who was struggling to even breathe. Shiho's trembling hand was already holding the pill and almost ready to run across the room to change her clothes.
"Is there someone inside?"
The three of them froze when they heard a stranger answering them from outside, cautious. They immediately shouted to their best ability;
"Yes!"
They were behind the door, helpless. The person outside sounded young but they believed him when he replied calmly, "I'm going to destroy the door. If you're behind the door, stay away."
Shiho quickly seized the fallen Yoshida-san and backed away from the door. Kojima-kun was helping Tsuburaya-kun who was disoriented to step away.
Not a second later, the door was destroyed.
Shisui didn't expect to find a burning cottage in the middle of a forest and that people were trapped inside it.
In his second chance at life, he had never witnessed something like this. He was here on a camping trip with his family, and he was prone to wandering off himself whenever they went camping here, and his family already got used to it. So, he wandered off alone inside the Gunma forest to enjoy the sight that was almost similar to the one that he could easily find in Konoha.
When he spotted the smoke, he thought of someone camping there. But the closer he got, he became suspicious of how far the place was from the camping place. The nearer he got, the more anxious he became. His instinct to see it close was right when his the sight of a burning cottage greeted him.
When he arrived, there were hisses inside the cottage. Shisui promptly ran, stopping just outside the cottage's door that was chained from the outside.
"Help!" A croaky, loud voice came from inside the cottage.
"Is there someone inside?" he urgently asked, alarmed of how young the voices sounded were.
"Yes!"
Shisui took a deep breath and then firmly uttered, "I'm going to destroy the door. If you're behind the door, stay away."
With this world's logic, a kid as small as he couldn't destroy such a door made from hardwood. But fortunately, he had a secret weapon.
Chakra.
With precise control of chakra, he could even destroy a mountain if he wanted to.
Shisui gathered a small amount of chakra into his left leg and quickly released the chakra as soon as he kicked it.
The door busted open and his mind registered the battered four kids that were definitely younger than him, inside.
He quickly moved to help them.
Author's Note: This is short because I don't know if anyone would like this. But I've decided to continue. Enjoy the edit.
