"What the hell are you doing? They were just a bunch of orphan children, Sakumo!"

The white-haired man named Sakumo Hatake raised his head to look at the Jiraiya standing before him.

He too was filled with guilt about the building in flames a few meters behind him, but it was against his principles to refuse a mission from the Hokage-sama. Even if the mission was to attack an orphanage, or slaughter a civilian community, or even slaughter young children, he couldn't make exceptions.

Jiraya today set out to return to Konoha after three years away to teach the boy he believed to be a child of destiny and two of his friends, but coincidentally on the way he encountered a ninja looting an orphanage.

After a long battle to punish the ninja, Jiraya realized that this ninja was not simple at all, because the ninja had easily destroyed the entire orphanage while fighting him.

After Jiraya managed to scratch his opponent's face with a sudden attack, the mask on the ninja's face fell to the ground, and for a while, silence fell.

When Jiraya saw that it was Hatake Sakumo who had committed the inhuman act of slaughtering the orphanage, he immediately cursed him in anger, but after a while, he fell silent again because he saw that Sakumo's eyes were reddened and two small drops were slipping down from his eyes.

After Jiraya's fiery personality was extinguished by the shock of seeing a tough ninja-like Sakumo crying, he took a moment to think and realized that Sakumo was doing what he did at someone's command.

Jiraya was about to vomit with a feeling of nausea deep in the pit of his stomach when they both heard a cry coming from the ruined house.

After the sound of a small baby's cry echoed through the dark forest for a while, Sakumo drew his sword and began to walk slowly, but after a few steps he heard the sound of a summoning technique and at the same moment he felt the strongest killing intent he had ever felt in his life.

He turned his head a little and looked behind him to see three pairs of eyes staring at him through the dark forest.

Hatake stopped moving, wondering what to do, and the only sound in the forest was that of the baby crying again. Sakumo Hatake thought for a while and then remembered the purpose of his mission.

According to what Danzo had told him, these children were the test subjects used by an S-rank fugitive to create a new bloodline. In other words, these children were stable animals, like sheep raised to be eaten by humans. Their fate was to die in extraordinary pain.

Hatake felt that if he did not kill this last baby, he would fail in his mission and, most importantly, the deaths of all the children he had killed would be meaningless. Fortunately, as a ninja renowned for his intelligence, after a brief hesitation, he found a way to make it up to God, calm Jirayaa down a little, and complete the mission.

"Jirayaa... Can you keep a secret?"

Jiraya heard Hatake Sakumo's tired voice and decided to talk to him first and then do what he was about to do. Meanwhile, the two old frogs summoned by Jiraya looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes and remained silent, sensing Jiraya's intent to kill.

When Sakumo received Jiraya's approval, he released his sword and told him of his plan as he continued walking towards the orphanage.

"Jiraya... can you do me a favor and tell people that when you returned to the village, you found a baby and met me on your way to the orphanage and then you entrusted this baby to me to raise?"

Jiraya understood what he meant after hearing those words, but still didn't trust him.

Sakumo left his sword behind and walked towards the ruins of the orphanage, while Jiraya continued to observe him and continue to intensify his chakra. Although he had encountered hints of Konoha's dark side in the past, this time was different.

Fortunately, Sakumo was as bored as he was, and all he could do now was to relieve himself by saving the life of this last remaining child.

Sakumo dug a little into the ruins and pulled out a small baby that had luckily survived in a void. As he looked at the baby's dark eyes and dark hair, the baby stopped crying and looked at him innocently with wide-open eyes.

As soon as the baby stopped crying, Jiraiya misunderstood the situation and blew a powerful ball of flame. Meanwhile, Sakumo, who was completely emotionally broken while looking into the baby's eyes, could only collect some chakra on his back in response to the fireball.

Jiraya saw Sakumo fall to the ground after being dragged for tens of meters, half of his body burnt, but his main attention was on the child in Sakumo's arms. The child started crying again after this attack, but Jiraya realized he had misunderstood and canceled the summoning technique.

Even though Sakumo was in pain from the fireball, he felt no anger. What he had been forced to do today had only left him with self-hate.

If he hadn't known that the third shinobi war was about to begin around the time the second shinobi war was ending, he would have announced to the village that he wanted to retire without hesitation.

While Jiraya was tending to Sakumo's wounds for his mistake and trying to get to the bottom of what happened there, Sakumo told Jiraya that he would be the father of this child in the future, and then the two of them walked back to the village.

The baby in Sakumo's arms was suggesting to himself that everything he had seen all this time had been a dream. Right?

Well, of course, a baby can't have such thoughts at this age when it looks like a newborn, but who says this baby is a normal baby?

-------

A dark-haired, pale-skinned boy turned his head to look at his white-haired stepbrother who had entered his room.

Yuta inwardly complained about him as he watched Kakashi pat his head and pinch his cheeks.

As Kakashi ruffled Yuta's hair and tickled Yuta's stomach with an expression as if he had been poured concrete, Yuta wondered how he had gotten here.

In his previous world, Yuta's name was Michael and he was a novice but enthusiastic photographer. He lived with rented cameras for a long time, trying to get good pictures at concerts and political rallies. Finally, he was able to buy his dream camera.

As Michael was dreaming of the great pictures he could take with the camera he had bought, he heard a strange whistling sound. When Michael looked out the window to see what was happening, he saw a red meteor falling from the sky towards him.

Immediately forgetting that the meteor was heading toward him, he ran home to get his new camera came back to the window, and started taking pictures of the meteor glowing green as it got closer and closer to him.

He was sure that with a photo like that, he would surely be chosen photographer of the year.

While Michael was daydreaming, a meteorite fell from the sky, turned into a small boulder, and crashed into his house and before he realized what had happened, Michael found himself in this world.

Since Kakashi always wanted to have a cool personality with a cold expression, he could never enjoy Yuta's sweetness when Sakumo was around.

So whenever Sakumo went on a mission and left Kakashi to take care of the child, Kakashi would take care of Yuta to the best of his ability.

Yuta tried to pout to push him away, but his baby face looked so much cuter that way.

Kakashi played and fed Yuta for hours, as he always did. Luckily Yuta pretended to sleep for a long time so he decided to go outside and practice throwing shuriken.

As soon as Kakashi left, Yuta opened his eyes again and looked at his poor brother. He couldn't remember every detail about the Naruto anime, but he remembered that Kakashi's father had committed suicide when Kakashi was still a child. That meant that soon Kakashi would be an orphan and he would be sent to an orphanage.

Yuta sighed deeply and forced himself to remember the good things. Things like Tsunade...

When Yuta was first brought to this village, Sakumo took him to Tsunade's house for a checkup. Tsunade looked very beautiful at the time, but for some reason, she had a kind of shut-in, neat air about her.

At first, Tsunade said she couldn't do it, but when Sakumo insisted, her hands glowed and a mass of green energy entered Yuta's body.

After a few minutes, Tsunade said that the boy was fine and went back into her house and closed the door.

Remembering the look of loss on Tsunade's face, Yuta realized that he really needed to think of something good and thought of the pictures of the meteor that had thrown him into this world.

Maybe the photos he took before he died were found thanks to the remains of his camera, and the photograph of the year would be the last photos taken by the dying photographer at the risk of his life. Maybe even though he was dead, people would continue to remember him for hundreds of years.

The drool dripping from the corners of Yuta's mouth returned to Yuta's mouth when he suddenly saw the words on the screen in front of him.

[ Welcome to the most cursed photographer system ]

[ The information needed to use the system is transmitted to your mind ]

[ Ultimate mission: become the most powerful creature in this universe

Ultimate reward: return to your previous world or a different world of your choice with the powers you have earned ]

Yuta was so surprised that he almost swallowed his little tongue as he looked at the screens in front of him.

"What the fuck is the most cursed? Shouldn't it be the strongest?"

Forgetting that he was still a baby, Yuta cursed loudly, then recovered and covered his mouth to see if Kakashi would hear his voice and come here. Luckily it seemed that Kakashi and Sakumo were not home and no one came to his room to check the sound.

Just then Yuta's head started to fill with information and a strong pain shot through his head.

After about a minute of Yuta crying loudly because of the pain, Kakashi came running worried.

When Kakashi saw Yuta holding his head and crying, he worriedly picked him up and ran towards Tsunade's house.

Yuta was crying loudly and Kakashi was about to cry with him. Because it was the first time Kakashi had ever seen Yuta cry like that and he was scared.

Ignoring the strange looks of the surrounding crowd, Kakashi quickly ran to the land that used to belong to the Senju clan.

While carefully holding Yuta, Kakashi began banging on the wooden door of the house opposite. After a while, Tsunade opened the door.

Tsunade looked like she had just woken up, wearing only a t-shirt with a wide neckline. Therefore, most of her large breasts were clearly on display.

Unfortunately, no one noticed Tsunade's seductive nature at this time.

"Tsunade-sama please save my brother!"

After Tsunade opens the door, she hears a tearful voice and looks down. A four-year-old boy had come to her house holding a few-month-old baby.

"Who are you, brat?"

"Please Tsunade-sama, my little brother is in a very bad situation."

Tsunade felt the urge to laugh as she watched the Kakashi begging her, hopping on his feet like a boy who needed the toilet.

"Tsunade-sama! I am Hatake Sakumo's son. My father told me to bring Yuta to you if anything happened."

Tsunade was appraising the handsome face of the silver-haired boy in front of her when she heard his words, she realized what was happening and bent down to pick Yuta up. At that moment the injection of information into Yuta's mind was complete and Yuta stopped crying and slowly opened his eyes.

When Yuta cleared his mind of the burden of information, he found himself directly beneath two gigantic watermelons. Before Yuta could comprehend what was happening around him, he raised his tiny hands in surprise and reflexively grasped the soft watermelons.

When Tsunade saw the little baby trying to squeeze her breasts, she smiled slightly and turned to Kakashi.

"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him, why did you bring him here?"

Kakashi saw that Yuta was quiet again and guessed that Yuta was having a nightmare or something.

"I thought something was wrong when he started crying just now, I'm sorry. Please check on him anyway, it's the first time I've seen him cry."

Tsunade sighed and quickly checked the boy and saw that he was fine. By this time Yuta had already realized where he was and promptly withdrew his hands from Tsunade's watermelons.

When Tsunade saw that the boy stopped crying once he was in her arms, she decided to invite Kakashi in and spend some time with them to get herself out of her depression.

"Kakashi, why do you always wear a mask? If girls saw your face, they would all run after you"

When Kakashi heard these words, he immediately raised his hand touched his cheeks, and blushed, realizing that he had forgotten to wear a mask.

When Tsunade saw him blushing, she began to dwell on it even more.

Meanwhile, Yuta had finished absorbing the information in his head. Yuta raised one hand and placed it in front of his eye with a gap in the center, then looked at Tsunade's face through the gap in the center of his hand.

When Tsunade saw the interesting movement of the little boy in her arms, she closed one eye, put her head on the other side of Yuta's hand, smiled, and started to play with him. Yuta had already done what he was supposed to do and took a photo from the gap in his hand.

The system Yuta received was a simple system with only two functions. The first function was to take a photo using the gap in his hand or a real camera and receive rewards based on the value of the photo. The other function was to access a system window that allowed Yuta to track his own power.

[ Congratulations you have taken your first photo, the Newbie pack is ready to be picked up ]

[ Analyzing photo... ]

[ Congratulations on catching a bronze-level moment; Messy but attractive Tsunade ]

[ Photo-taking reward; All stats +1 ]

[ Reward ready: Waiting for user to claim ]

As Yuta read what came in front of him, he was happy to realize that he could practice the art of photography in this world as well.

Seeing Yuta smiling, Tsunade turned to Kakashi and said, "Your brother smiles so sweetly."

When Kakashi heard what Tsunade said, he stopped covering his face in embarrassment and rushed to the seat next to Tsunade. Kakashi only had a few seconds to see Yuta's smile before he became uncomfortable with the attention and hid his smile.

It was the first time in his life that Kakashi had ever seen his brother smile, but he only had a very short time to see it. After thinking for a while, Kakashi guessed that his brother was uncomfortable with him.

Tsunade easily guessed what Kakashi was thinking as she watched the smile disappear from his face. Tsunade then began to laugh, enjoying his innocence.

---------------- one hour later

Tsunade went out and got something to eat and came back and invited everyone to eat.

Tsunade realized that spending time with these two children was quite fun and she was laughing for the first time in a long time, so she decided to keep them around a little longer.

Yuta enjoyed playing with Tsunade or rather hugging her breasts, so he acted like an ordinary baby and smiled a lot, all the while constantly photographing Tsunade from different angles.

[ Photo being analyzed... ]

[ Photo grade: Iron ]

[ Reward: None ]

Yuta took a quick glance at the system screen in front of him and slowly shook his head in disappointment.

Witnessing the change of expression on his face, Kakashi immediately suggested to Tsunade that maybe Yuta didn't like his food.

Tsunade confusedly took a small bite of the kibble and put it in her mouth and said, "Hmm, of course, he didn't like it. Nobody likes this stuff, what he needs as a ninja baby is meat!"

Kakashi, like every other Konoha person, knew of Tsunade's skills in combat and medicine as one of the sannin. Without a moment's hesitation, he handed his brother the fattest and plumpest barbecue meat on the table.

Yuta inwardly thought that these lunatics were demons trying to inoculate a small baby with heart disease, but without hesitation, he stuck the large cutlet into his mouth. Of course, since he had no teeth, the only thing he could do was lick or suck the meat.

Bom

As the door to Tsunade's house opened with a loud bang, the smile on Tsunade's face disappeared and she looked at the door to see who was so brave.

Sakumo Hatake entered the door with a flustered expression and his eyes immediately shifted to his sons and Tsunade at the dining table. After a brief glance, Sakumo breathed a sigh of relief.

Tsunade was about to open her mouth and scold Sakumo for entering her house like this, after all, no matter how famous and powerful a ninja Sakumo was, Tsunade was a woman who would not hesitate to beat even the Hokage. But before Tsunade could open her mouth and scold him, she was the one being scolded.

"Why does Yuta have a greasy piece of meat in his mouth?"

Yuta sensed what was coming and greedily started to suck harder on the meat in his hand when Sakumo came and tried to take it away from him.

Sakumo briefly tried to separate the meat and Yuta, then made a place for himself at the table to find out what was going on.

Meanwhile, Yuta, feeling unfairly wronged, started taking pictures of them while eating his kibble in the corner of the table.
