Prologue

The third Jihikage, Hiru Saru, who returned to work a few days ago, was just sitting in the office, looking at the portrait of a young blonde with blue eyes. He wondered what to do. Mino Ao - Blue Flash Jihi, a genius that appears once a generation, the Fourth Jihikage, and most importantly the son of Tetsu Ao, who was to take his place with his wife at the head of the largest village in the Shinobi World. Unfortunately, three days ago, a young man and his wife died in an incident protecting the Village of Mercy. He had no idea how to report this to the so-called Shinobi God. After all, it was to him - the Professor, that he left in the care of his son, even allowing his eldest child to become the leader of a friendly, yet alien, village until the end of his term of office.

There was another problem. A child born on the day of the disaster. Tenshi Moeruaka-Ao. The only surviving, rightful heir of pure blood, where the long secrets of the Village of Angels are hidden. Currently, the boy has been temporarily taken in by the Four Greatest Jihi Clans, who maintained friendly relations with the child's deceased parents. However, Hiru realized that this inconspicuous angel-looking boy was now the most important person in the entire Shinobi World. Had something happened to him, his position would likely have contributed to the Fourth Shinobi War. Yet not so long ago they finished Third. So it could not be allowed to happen in terms of losses. The death of the Third Chōmiryōkage, the destruction of the Kannabi Bridge, contributed to by the deceased blonde. On top of that, the battle with Hanegakuresama was a bad idea in itself, knowing what powerful shinobi she had and who her leaders were, but mostly because of a lack of knowledge of her exact location. The only information he had was that the village was on Angel Island and that the villages that encompassed it were dominated by steep hills and bridges. The past of the Moeruaka and Okamura clans also did not allow any harm to the people of Chōju no Sato. So the best option was to protect the child and inform his family of the catastrophe and its consequences, praying on their way to the village that they would have clear minds.

Unexpectedly, a masked figure appeared in front of the old man. Saru, as they used to see him in their youth, immediately recognized her as a member of TSAY, the Special Tactical Assassination Unit, but at this point they were doing something else entirely. The figure bowed its head slightly.

- Jihikage-sama, there are problems - he said irritably. - An unidentified man is coming here with a large group of shinobi and he makes a lot of confusion.

- Quantity and intentions? He asked, wondering why some group had come here.

- They didn't attack anyone. Apart from the aforementioned man, there is also one more and a woman. They are followed by seven young people.

An instant thought occurred to the leader of the head, which a second later came true.

The door was opened without a knock by a middle-aged man. He had blue eyes and long, loose, sunny hair. The boy next to him looked like a copy of him, and the girl on the right stood out with red hair that was rising restlessly. Her gaze could kill, and she herself, ignoring the appearing Mercy shinobi, quickly walked over, hitting her hand on the desk top.

- How could you let them die? - She raised her voice, looking into the eyes of the old man. - Plus, you hid information! Just like a baby! - She continued to struggle on the wooden furniture, which after a while broke in two. The standing shinobi wanted to catch the young woman, but the Jihikage gesture ordered them to stay where they were. He stood up in front of her and fell to his knees, placing his hand over his heart.

- There is nothing I can do to fix my mistake, Asami-san. However, I was going to inform you about the boy today. He looked at the two blondes who were looking at the picture. The same one he was looking at a few moments ago.

- Send for the boy. - A low voice sounded in the room. - He is the only hope for your redemption now. Mino was the son every father dreams of. Gifted, wise and brave. Despite his death, the Ao clan knows it was his decision. The elder blue-eyed gave him a hand. - What is his name? He asked softly.

- Tenshi - he replied, motioning to one of TSAY to go get the baby.

After a moment TSAY reappeared in the office, this time holding a little baby with blue eyes in his arms. Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

- So they managed to move him - he whispered. - Well done son. Ao smirked as he took the baby in his arms.

- Tenshi Moeruaka-Ao, heir of the clans, we're taking you home. - The red-haired girl approached the boy, putting her hand on his forehead.
