[Blurb]

As the most powerful human trafficker in the business, Orochimaru firmly believed he could never misjudge a person. But he never expected the child he brought back this time to be a genius-level idiot: at just thirteen, her combat ability was off the charts, but she was hopelessly clueless. For example, she couldn't understand sarcasm or what people meant between the lines, and she couldn't even tell when someone was insulting her. Words like "stupid" were automatically filtered out. But if she noticed someone giving her a hostile look, even he would get beaten up (?))

Before long, Orochimaru was living in constant fear of getting beaten up (?))

Then Orochimaru abandoned her.

The girl moved into the Root residence and lived frugally with the old geezer.

Once, when she didn't have enough money to pay for a meal, a curly-haired boy paid for her.

The curly-haired boy started acting strangely.

Whenever he saw her, he would smile brightly, and he kept inviting her to eat.

His smile was kind of... handsome.

In her experience, the curly-haired boy definitely wanted her to do something for him.

After eating the 191st bowl of ramen the curly-haired boy had treated her to, the girl asked seriously, "What do you want me to do for you?"

The curly-haired boy said, "Aren't we... friends?"

The girl asked, "What are friends?"

The curly-haired boy said, "People who can trust and help each other."

The girl pondered. "Hmm..."

Her eyes lit up. "Then can you help me make money and support me?"

The curly-haired boy suddenly stammered, "...Y-yes, I c-can."

The girl was puzzled. "...?"

The girl was shocked.

Only when a gentle smile appeared on the curly-haired boy's face did she understand.

She gazed at that smile that made her heart flutter.

Then it dawned on her. "Oh..."

Then the curly-haired boy got beaten up.

The girl stretched, then swaggered away.

Orochimaru was right...

She had to be careful not to get tricked by people from the village. The ones like him were the most dangerous.

Later on.

The girl discovered that the old geezer was always docking her bonuses and pay, and had also killed the medic sister. Unable to take it anymore, she beat him up. She hit him too hard and killed him.

The girl became a rogue ninja of Konoha.

She found a new place to live and a new job: good pay, little work, and great benefits.

Her new boss was very kind and didn't mind that she had a history of accidentally beating her boss to death.

Her new boss also provided a damp, unwelcoming "home" for all the displaced 'rogue ninjas.' There were no meetings, no corporal punishment, no docking of bonuses or pay, and no huge bills if they accidentally damaged public property during a fight. They had freedom at work, and the new boss rarely gave orders.

The girl thought this place was pretty good.

The organization's name sounded better than Root, too.

The only thing was, how could her new teammate be...?

The girl: "???"
