In the year 37 of Konoha, Yuuto Aoba, a war orphan, only had three weapons: anatomy notes, self-prepared insect repellent powder and the life-preserving Three Body Technique.
When Minato Namikaze was shining on the battlefield, he huddled in the trench to record the habits of poisonous insects; when the Sannin dominated the country, his hands that amputated the wounded were as steady as a rock.
"Surviving," he wrote a manual on the bark of a tree dipped in blood, "requires more talent than being a hero."
Many years later, when Nine-Tails' claws tore through the night sky, the man who was always ridiculed as a "medical cockroach" stood in the middle of the ruins, the green light of his palm magic connecting to form a web of life.
"Look! Senior Aoba is shining!" The surviving children cried.
He lowered his head and turned over the yellowed title page of the manual: "Wrong, it reflects the moonlight from the Hokage Rock."
