Reincarnated with Bleach System

Weird old man

As Dantes sat under the tree, he couldn't help but feel a sense of boredom creeping up on him. He watched the world around him, lost in his thoughts. Despite the fact that children were strictly prohibited from entering the forest, Dantes had wandered in without a care in the world.

The forest was a mysterious and somewhat intimidating place, but he couldn't resist the call of adventure. As he walked, he stumbled upon a cluster of vibrant purple flowers, their delicate petals swaying gently in the breeze.

This was the first time he had ever seen such beauty in his two lives, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and amazement.

Dantes remained crouched by the flower patch for what felt like an eternity, his eyes fixed on the delicate petals as though they held the secret to eternal bliss. Completely entranced, he lost all sense of time and space as he gazed upon the blossoms. As the day wore on, he continued to wander aimlessly through the forest, his only mission to search for more of these beautiful flowers that had captured his heart.

............

'I forgot to ask that kid's name, sigh. '
Thought Dantes while walking back to the orphanage.
'I didn't find any other flowers the whole day, what a sham-'

"NAMAKE WHERE WERE YOU?!" He was startled out of his thoughts by a woman's scream.
"Why are you screaming?"

"Huh??"

The woman's furious temper was halted by a kid's simple question. Namake had always been very obedient and never talked back, that's why she always gave him her chores of the day as he would never refuse.
'What is this little shit saying all of a sudden?'
"Why were you out for the whole day?! And where were you??"

She had been reprimanded for not doing today's chores, the ones she had given Namake.

"Dunno, how old am I?" The kid before her refuted in a lazy and calm voice.

'Wh-what is he talking about?? Did he hurt his head somehow?'
"Hum, the dean esteemed you to be 5-6 years old."

"What age does one need to go to college?"

"What's college? Are you talking about the ninja school? Then you need to be at least 6."

The woman stood there, completely taken aback by the kid's behavior. She had just given him some instructions, and all she got in response was a simple "Perfect." The kid then turned and started walking towards the launch hall, hands in his pockets, as if he was the only person in the room. The woman was left standing there, speechless, watching him disappear down the corridor. She couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind and why he seemed so oblivious to her presence.

'...'

.................

Following the evening lunch yesterday, Dantes appeared to be in a melancholic state, as he retreated to his bed without uttering a single word to anyone. The rest of the orphanage was already asleep, and the only sound that could be heard was his deep, solemn breathing.

The next morning, he emerged from his room and made his way to the shared bathroom, where he meticulously washed himself and brushed his teeth before exiting the orphanage with clean cloths

...

Through a blurry house window, a man with long, white hair was gazing intently outside with a mischievous grin on his face. He let out a soft chuckle, almost as if he was enjoying a private joke. Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Old man."

Jiraiya was caught off guard and stumbled awkwardly, his legs and arms flailing in different directions. He turned around to see who had caught him peeping and said, "Wh-who?"

"I wanted to ask you for directions," the stranger said, eyeing Jiraiya suspiciously.

"Shush little brat! You disturbed my data gathering!" His scream seemed to have disturbed the one living in the house as the window was now closed.

"Sigh~... so much time wasted in vain. What do you want kid? These hands need experience to continue writing !"

"Hm, are you a perver?"

"Kakaka I'm not a perver, I'm a super perver!"

'Shouldn't you be convincing me that you're not instead of magnifying it?' Dantes thought.

"Ok, where is the ninja school?"

"You brat you interrupted my data gathering for such a stupid question! Couldn't you just ask another passerb-. Goddamn it... You continue on this path then turn right..." Jiraiya interrupted himself when he saw no one in the alley and just drooped his head.

"Thank you." The kid before him slightly bowed his head and thanked him with a lazy voice before marching toward the school.

'What a weird kid.'
