Three days after the last events.
When Tsunade saw that a simple eagle had almost killed Yuta, she got rid of her secret ideas about not sending him to the ninja academy and decided that he should at least have the strength to protect himself.
So after Yuta was discharged from the hospital one day, Tsunade brought him home and began teaching him the basic martial arts of the Senju clan.
After Yuta was woken up early for breakfast, he came to the table and found fragrant barbecues piled up on the table. Yuta was suspicious that they had been eating better food lately than before, but he knew it wasn't his place to decide how Tsunade should spend her money.
After Tsunade finished eating, she leaned back and stretched happily.
"It was definitely worth selling the house."
Yuta was lying on the dining table, exhausted from overeating, when he heard Tsunade's words and asked to be sure.
"Didn't these houses used to belong to family members? Are you sure about selling?"
Tsunade wondered how Yuta could know such details and then guessed that someone was being blunt. "Yes, but what difference does it make? All the houses belong to me now. I'm glad I didn't sell them before, if I had I would have gone gambling with all the money."
Yuta pondered for a while whether Tsunade was no longer gambling because she was attached to him, then decided that this was impossible. Tsunade was probably dreaming of gambling even as she said she was happy not to gamble.
As Yuta sighed with concern for this desperate woman's future, Tsunade jumped up, having already digested what she had eaten, and said that it was time to start practicing for the day.
Yuta cursed inwardly as he looked at the brightness of the sun shining through the window. Why was the sun so bright even though winter was not yet over?
Tsunade grabbed Yuta, who had no intention of moving, by the leg and in one swift motion lifted him onto her shoulder and dragged him outside.
For the next half hour, Yuta practiced throwing shuriken under Tsunade's supervision.
At the end of the half-hour exercise, Tsunade looked at Yuta lying on the ground in a sweat and ruffled her hair in anger, fortunately, the target board drawn on the tree was mostly covered with shuriken.
Yuta opened his profile screen, wondering why the sun was bothering him so much. He honestly didn't expect to find the answer to his question on his profile screen, but surprisingly, the answer to his question was actually there.

When Yuta saw that the question marks about his race had disappeared and he could now see his race in full, he looked up excitedly and took another look at his profile screen reflected in the dirt.
Tsunade saw that the boy was about to go crazy from the heat and decided to end the physical part of today's training here. Meanwhile, Yuta touched the mark in the corner of his race, and important information about his race was injected into his head.
Yuta learned that while his new race gave him some traits that he would have to discover on his own, in return his physical attributes were weakened by being exposed to light. Light also greatly reduced his stamina and endurance.
Yuta realized why he had been feeling more energetic at night and exhausted in the morning lately, at the same time he heard Tsunade's voice.
"Sigh... That should be enough to enter the ninja academy."
As soon as Yuta heard Tsunade's words, he realized what she was planning.
"You're going to enroll me in the ninja academy so you can gamble comfortably. Right?"
Tsunade approached Yuta with a smile, and suddenly she hammered his head.
"Fool! If I wanted to gamble, I would go gamble. Your body looks like a five-year-old boy, even though your real age is very young. After the old monkey saw you, he told me to enroll you in the ninja academy. He thinks you have potential because you can face a ninja eagle and survive on your own."
Or he's been watching us train all day using the telescope technique, Yuta thought, but he didn't say it out loud.
Seeing that Yuta didn't answer, Tsunade continued, "And while you're there, you can see your real brother, but remember, if he asks for your real identity, don't tell him. I will also use the name Yuta Senju when I enroll you in school."
When Yuta's mind had developed enough, Tsunade had already told him the truth about Sakumo and his relationship with Hatake. Or rather, the truth as she knew it.
Yuta slowly stood up and followed Tsunade into the house, using his arm to block the sun's rays.
"I'll go and enroll you in school today, and you can start school tomorrow. I'll pick up dinner on the way, so you can practice the chakra extraction technique I gave you yesterday until I get back."
"Aye Tsunade-sama!"
Tsunade was about to leave the house when she heard Yuta's sarcastic words and stepped back inside. There was nowhere left for Yuta to run and all he could do was hope that Tsunade's blows didn't hurt too much.
______________
As Tsunade left the house and slowly made her way to the ninja academy, Yuta took the opportunity to run to his room and close the curtains.
After looking at them for a while, he realized that they were translucent and would not be enough to block the telescope technique. After lifting his single bed from one end and placing it in front of the window with all his might, he finally sat down in his chair in his room with a sigh of relief.
Yuta had been waiting for Tsunade to leave him alone for a long time, but she had decided to live the life of a neet and was waiting by his side all day.
Yuta brushed his hair back before reaching his tiny hand out into the space in the center of the room and said "Arise" in the most un-childish voice he could muster. And after a short pause, he added, "Bitch."
Immediately a small pool of shadow appeared in the center of the room and out of it came a girl of about 10-12 years old wearing a pink kimono.
-----
Emerging from the shadow pool, the girl slowly opened her eyes and stood up from her kneeling position. Yuta watched with some trepidation to see if she would attack him and made sure that she would not attack him.
Yuta was briefly dumbfounded by her beauty, as it was the first time he had had the opportunity to see her face so clearly up close. But that little interest quickly dissipated when he soon remembered the way she had looked when she attacked him.
As the girl opened her eyes and looked around in amazement, suddenly there was a flash in her eyes, and the way she looked at Yuta changed dramatically. Before, she had been looking around like an ordinary little girl, but now she was looking only at Yuta's feet like the person in front of her was a god and she wanted to pray to him.
At the same time, Yuta felt in his heart the girl's unshakable loyalty to him. She would probably die without hesitation even if he ordered her to die, maybe she would hesitate, but it would make no difference.
When Yuta realized that the possibility of a sudden attack had completely disappeared, he got up from his seat, approached the girl, and reached out his hand to stroke her hair. In her current state, this girl certainly looked like an ordinary person.
Her not-so-rare short brown hair fell over her shoulders and her long eyelashes made her look like a pharaoh's daughter.
As Yuta grabbed her chin and lifted her towards himself, he realized that she was averting her eyes from him. Of course, since he could feel what she was feeling now, he knew why she was averting her eyes. She was now ashamed and afraid of being punished for attacking him the first time they met.
Yuta decided to talk to the girl for a while after he sat back in his chair.
"What is your name?"
"My name is Natsumi, my lord."
When Yuta heard her call him lord, he remembered a DVD movie he had watched in a previous life and asked her to change her address.
"Uh, I guess you think I'm not worthy to call you my lord. Hmm I see, I deserve it, Great Master."
"Just call me Yuta."
Natsumi trembled with fear as if she had heard something terrible, but Yuta, feeling her emotions, immediately realized that this would not be possible.
"Okay, call me something else, but not Great Master or Lord."
She calmed down and said, "As you wish, Emperor."
"That won't work either, I don't rule any land."
"Yes, My Sun and Moon, you are my sun and moon, no matter what anyone says."
Yuta frowned and rejected this offer without hesitation.
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
"I see, the three-word address must not have sounded good Precious Owner."
"Hey, can't you address me properly? I don't want people to misunderstand, it makes me sound like a perverted psychopathic MC who turns people into slaves."
"Hai! Reason for my endless obedience!"
As Yuta's hair stood on end, he gave in and let Natsume address him as Lord. He had an instinct that the longer this went on, the more complicated it would become for him.
In fact, he wasn't wrong, and right before Natsume asked Yuta for permission to call him Lord, he was planning to offer to call him My Hidden Passion next time.
"Tell me your real age, Natsume."
Even before Yuta got the answer some information came to his mind, information that Natsume was about to lie to him and that he could punish her with a thought if he wanted to.
"Ahaha my age, I'm only 14. years old"
Yuta narrowed his eyes and looked with contempt at the human demon in front of him. He was not about to play games with a demon who used to live by eating humans.
"Liar."
Natsume looked up and saw Yuta looking at him from under his eyes as he sat cross-legged in his chair, swallowed, and said her real age in a barely audible voice.
"14... Actually, I am 114 years old, my lord."
As Natsume said these words, she knew that he could destroy her with a thought, and that was what she feared in the first place. She thought that her beauty was her only redeeming quality since she was weak compared to other demons and that if Yuta ever found out her true age, he would be disgusted by her.
She had experienced similar events in her previous life in the red light district. Even though she was not aging and was very beautiful, middle-aged perverts were only interested in her because she was a little girl, and as the years passed, it became clear that she was not aging and she was expelled.
In her previous life, being kicked out of the red light district had bothered her but she could go back and cause a small-scale massacre to get revenge, but being rejected by this boy who was looking at her with disgust would be the end of it all.
When Yuta found out her real age, he realized that she had eaten hundreds of people alive and sent her back, not wanting to ask any more questions. He had already gotten the answers to his questions, now he knew how loyal the people he had eaten were to him.
Yuta waited for a while and then looked up to see Natsume still standing there.
"My lord, you must accept me before I can return."
Yuta interlocked his hands and fingers, thinking that she could not return to the shadows on her own, then opened one of his fingers to make the customized hand seal of the ten-shadow technique.
The number of fingers left open summoned the monster with that number in the ten-shadow technique.
Yuta left one finger open and hands rising from the shadows grabbed Natsume and pulled her underground.
Thanks to the feedback from the ten-shadow technique, Yuta understood what she meant and why she couldn't return to the shadows on her own. Until now she had been temporarily sheltering in the shadow technique.

On his way to the ninja academy, as Tsunade had told him, Yuta looked at his profile screen and fumed. No matter how hard he trained, the only thing that changed on his profile screen was the amount of chakra. And His cursed energy was increasing by ten points almost every hour.
His cursed energy had been increasing on its own since the inscription in the race section was Cursed of Darkness. Probably people's fear of the darkness provided him with passive income.
Apart from that, two things caused his stats to change so far. The first was the stat boost points he received from the system, and the other was that his stats increased when his cursed energy increased.
Although Yuta admitted that he was cursed, he thought that he was more similar to humans in many ways because humans could see him, but apparently getting stronger through exercise was not his blessing.
Yuta thought about how he could increase his cursed energy and came up with only two viable ideas. Either make people afraid of him or take more pictures.
As Yuta looked at the red building standing in front of him, he decided that trying to practice as a photographer was a mistake in the first place.
The schoolyard was so quiet that it wasn't hard to guess that all the students were in classrooms listening to lessons. It was deliberate for him to arrive late when the other students had already started class because Tsunade had told him to. He would leave after classes started so that the teacher could introduce him to the class.
Yuta took a deep breath and tried to guess where Kakashi was right now. Maybe he was at odds with Obito right now, maybe he was pretending to sleep in class to avoid Rin's annoying attention.
Yuta chuckled to himself and walked towards the front door of the school. Tsunade had already told him that he would be in the same class as Kakashi.
When Yuta reached the door of his class, he knocked and waited. A few seconds later a young man opened the door and came out. The man locked eyes with Yuta, sized him up with his eyes, and realized that he was the student who was coming today.
"Your name should be Yuta, right?"
"Actually it's Senju Yuta."
The teacher had obviously not been informed of this and was surprised to hear the surname Senju and questioned Yuta. When Yuta said that he lived with Tsunade, the ninja teacher almost thought he was making fun of him, but remembering that he could enroll in the academy in the middle of the school year, he left it for later.
The teacher told Yuta to follow him as he entered the classroom.
As Yuta stepped into the noisy classroom, he realized that he was secretly a little nervous. Even though Yuta had graduated from a university in his previous life and had spent years in school, an unexplainable feeling of excitement and nervousness continued to hover in his chest until the teacher introduced him to the class.
"Hey brats, shut up!"
The bald teacher shouted, and the excitement in Yuta's chest dissipated as the students in the class calmed down. Even a teacher's shouting could have a magical effect in such situations. Of course, what happened to Yuta was completely temporary even without the teacher's shouting. After all, he was still an adult among a bunch of kids.
As Yuta secretly shaped his hands into photo frames and took a picture of the class, the teacher told Yuta that it would be better for him to introduce himself than to introduce himself.
[ Photo being analyzed...]
[ Congratulations on catching a silver moment; The-One-Eye-Club The beginning of everything ]
"My name is Senju Yu... Puahaha... I'm sorry I got distracted. My name is Senju Yuta. I don't like the sun, I like evening outings and taking pictures. Let's make nice."
Yuta was just introducing himself when he saw how the system had named the photo he had just taken and laughed. He quickly pulled himself together and after introducing himself, without waiting for the teacher to speak, he sat down in the empty seat next to Kakashi and continued to laugh quietly after putting his head on the table and covering his face with his arms.
The bald teacher and the rest of the class watched Yuta's shaking back for a while, unable to stop laughing because of his nervous breakdown. Finally, the teacher sighed as he realized that another troublesome brat had joined his class and continued to talk about ninja traps.
When Kakashi had started school he had managed to sit alone by the wall, intimidating the others, because he wanted to be away from the other students, but now a boy had appeared and threatened his solitude.
Normally that would have been what Kakashi should have been thinking about, but the boy's name and clan had given him more to think about. Kakashi heard the name Yuta and remembered his younger brother, while the other boys in the class were already gossiping about Yuta's clan.
"Mom said that Tsunade-sama was the only one left in the Senju clan."
"Yeah, that's what I also remember."
"Is he Tsunade-sama's secret child?"
"But if so, who's the father?"
"I think Tsunade-sama's husband is Orochimaru-sama."
"No, no, I think Tsunade-sama must have secretly married Daimyo."
"Then this child is Daimyo's son?"
Yuta slowly began to get angry as he listened to the gossip coming from a back row. What was worse was that even Kakashi, hearing the gossip, quietly made more room for Yuta.
Fortunately, before Yuta could angrily beat up the idiots behind him and cause trouble on his first day of school, the teacher, annoyed by the gossiping, angrily intervened and told everyone to shut up.
Once the atmosphere was peaceful again, Yuta pretended to listen to the lesson and checked the reward for the photo he had just taken.
