From the age of four, Haruto has borne the weight of a life destined for sacrifice. During the Third Great Shinobi War, he lost both of his parents, and his infant younger brother perished alongside them, leaving young Haruto to face a world of shinobi clans, hidden powers, and political intrigue alone. At eight, he also lost his twin sister, and soon after, he and his twin brother were separated, forcing him to navigate a life filled with enemies, uncertainty, and betrayal.

By twelve, Haruto is no ordinary boy. Haunted by past losses and thrust into deadly conflicts, he must survive relentless hunters, uncover the treachery of trusted leaders, and confront enemies that strike from both shadow and light. Alongside friends—and secret allies whose loyalty is tested to the extreme—he fights to restore peace while struggling with the heavy burden of responsibility no child should bear.

Even as victories are won, dark forces stir. Hidden rebellions, ruthless political schemers, and mysterious powers from beyond the known world threaten everything he holds dear. With each mission, Haruto learns that true strength isn’t just skill—it’s the courage to protect those you love, even when the world seems determined to tear them away.

As Haruto grows, so do the scale of his battles. Friends lost, secrets unraveling, and enemies waiting in every corner, he must prepare for a war that could change the very balance of his world—and discover the truth behind his own mysterious powers before it’s too late.

Then Haruto slowly closed his notebook.


And for the first time that evening, both of them stopped writing completely, staring at each other like a small storm was about to start.


The silence stretched for a few seconds.


Then Kaito pointed at Haruto's notebook.


"You only got that answer because you copied the teacher's method."


"No. That's called borrowing intelligence."


Haruto closed his notebook and picked it up.


Haruto walked past him toward the living room.


Then Haruto placed the cushions in a straight line through the middle of the hall.


Then a grin slowly spread across his face.


Haruto pointed toward one side of the hall.


Kaito immediately pointed toward the other side.


Then Kaito suddenly grabbed a nearby blanket.


Kaito sprinted across his side of the hall.


"This fortress now belongs to the Great Nation of Kaito!"


Haruto immediately grabbed two cushions and stacked them near the sofa.


"Yet somehow you're still participating."


Kaito immediately raised both fists into the air.
