3 I Have No Name

-Two Months Later-

"You don't have any chakra. Why do you keep coming to school?!"

"Loser!"

Upon enrolling in school, Dantes was immediately subjected to discrimination based on his lack of chakra. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to manifest any chakra, making him stand out from the other students in a negative way. This led to him being isolated and excluded from various activities, which had a significant impact on his sense of belonging.

'There I thought I could finally find something interesting only to have it stolen from my grasp. Sigh~...'

From the very first day that Dantes joined the school, he was subjected to a never-ending barrage of insults and occasional physical attacks. Day in and day out, the routine was always the same - rapid insults or sudden blows. However, Dantes never really cared about the abuse. Having always been a loner, he had grown accustomed to the pain and it no longer affected him, except for a numbing sensation that he had come to expect.

"Man~, even in another world school is so boring." He lazily muttered to himself while walking toward the end of the classroom.

'I wouldn't mind beating them up but they have chakra. And from what I discovered, even tho it's not a substantial amount, it still makes them slightly stronger than me.

I could still beat one up but they all seem to have united to isolate me.'

He found himself questioning his purpose for attending school. He couldn't figure out what he was gaining from being there. The classes seemed uninteresting and lacked any valuable lessons. He wondered if it was just a force of habit that made him continue to attend, or if there was still some hope for him to learn something new.

'Maybe I should abandon scho- ah."

As he was approaching his seat, he suddenly found his path obstructed by Haruki, one of the notorious troublemakers in the class. Haruki had deliberately stretched his legs in front of him, causing him to trip and stumble.

"Bahahaha!"

"Did you forget how to walk?!"

And so on, everyone in the classroom laughed.

'Kids in this world are ruthless huh. Let's see a beautiful reaction then~.'

"ARGH!"

As the group ridiculed and belittled the young man for his supposed lack of chakras, a sudden cry pierced the air. It wasn't Dantes, but Haruki who let out a pained howl. The others looked over to find a pen sticking out of his hand, blood oozing from the wound and staining the table. Haruki's sobs echoed through the room as he clutched his injured hand and stumbled out of the door, leaving behind a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

Dantes had a very faint feeling in his chest but it was almost unnoticeable, and so he just continued to walk toward his seat and sat. As if it was another day.

Not even 5 minutes later, a man with a headband entered class, it was their principal teacher. He scanned the classroom before his eyes landed on the lone kid at the end row of the class.

"Dantes! Why did you do that?" He ordered.

'He started it maybe ? That's a ninja which means I can't anger him right now or when I leave school he may disturb me.

Man~, can't say he is ignoring my discrimination and protecting the kids or he's gonna get even angrier.'

"Sensei-senpai, my hand slipped."

....

'I guess that wasn't a very good excuse huh. I was gonna leave by myself but I didn't expect to be expelled from the school. Guess being a pariah, having no chakra, no parents and lazy was a good combo.'

As he ambled aimlessly into the dense forest that separates The Land of Fire and Land of Rain, he found himself lost in thought. The rustling of leaves under his feet and the whispering of the wind through the trees provided a soothing background to his musings. He pondered the mysteries of life and the universe, letting his mind wander wherever it pleased.

The peaceful stillness of the woods enveloped him, and he felt a sense of calm and contentment that he had not experienced in a long time.

With a sense of disorientation and confusion, he muttered to himself, "I'm completely lost." He considered changing his plan to search for wildflowers in the forest as he had done on a previous occasion. However, as he looked around, he realized that all the trees and bushes seemed to look identical. No matter where he turned his gaze, there was no noticeable difference in the dense foliage that surrounded him.

*Rustles*

As Dantes stood there, marveling at the otherworldly sights and sounds around him, he suddenly heard a faint rustling emanating from a nearby tree. Curiosity piqued, he cautiously approached the source of the sound, his heart beating faster with each step. And then, just as he was about to step forward, he saw a flash of black cutting through the air toward him. He instinctively froze, unsure of what kind of creature or object was hurtling toward him at such breakneck speed.

In an instant, he found himself thrown off balance as a sharp, piercing pain shot through his left shoulder, causing his body to tilt backwards. Despite the sudden shock, he managed to keep his cool and focused on the source of the pain, only to find a kunai deeply buried in his flesh. He could feel the numbing sensation spreading through his entire arm, but strangely, the blade seemed to be slowing down the blood flow. Despite the discomfort, he tried to keep himself composed, knowing that panicking would only make matters worse.

"Hehe, another kid."

"Our luck is good today! We found another one!"

"Alright stop messing around and cut his tendons and knock him out, we can't have them wiggle around like last time."

Just as Dantes was about to retreat slowly, three ninjas left the tree branches and bushes. They had their faces covered with clothings and they all wore gray attires.

One of them started approaching him carefree.

"Hehe." He took out his katana and pointed it toward the kid's arm joints.

'Man~, it had to also be a sadist, at least knock me out. I'm a kid...' Were his last thoughts before he fell unconscious on his back.

Unknown man's pov:

'Hehehehe, I can have some fun again, last time it died of shock too rapidly. This one didn't even scream hehe so it's more durable.' Just as the man's blade was about to touch the kid's skin, the kid's hand grabbed the blade!

"...huh?" He tried to take his katana back but the iron grip made it impossible for him to. So he quickly jumped back and was on alert.

'What's going on?' This thought was in everyone's mind before they heard a voice

"Hehehe..." The kid's laugh sounded very eerily and they all saw the kid get back up. But what shocked them even more was how he took out the kunai out of shoulder with no blood.

"Tell us your name you brat! Who the hell are you !?" Said one of the trio in a commanding voice.

"Hehe, what's my name?" The distorted voice sounded, followed up by a very small piece of mask forming on his eye out of thin air.

"I have no name hahaha!"

Before anyone could react, the sadistic man was gurgling in his own blood. A kunai piercing his throat.

"Hehe~" The kid's distorted voice mocked.

"Kill him! It's just a kid! Come on now!" They both stood ready with their kunais. Unfortunately, they didn't see it arrive as they got distracted by their now dead friend and so one of them kneeled on the ground, his heart impaled by a blade.

"You little, you have no weapon now you stupid little shit haha!" He made hand seals and a jet of water came out of his mouth. "Water release: Water bullet!" The water jet barely hit him yet it was enough to push him back but this benefited him as he hid behind the trees.

"Do you think a mere tree can stop my technique!" The man continued spitting water at him and breaking the trees along the way. He moved from tree to tree in a clockwise manner while the man retreated while firing as the little demon approached.

This continued on until the man noticed something that stunned him. The kid was next to his two dead comrades, taking out the kunai and katana.

'Shit!!' He cursed while dodging the kunai. His shoulder was slightly grazed and he sighed in relief. 'Thank go- "KARH!!" was all he mustered from his mouth, a katana piercing his throat.

'Th-this little shit used the kunai as a distraction...' Were his last thoughts. The demon in front of him watching him slowly fall with wicked eyes.

The kid giggled to himself before the mask fragment on his face broke away into nothingness, his body swaying and falling on his side. His eye color returning to its normal color...
