Also known as The Konoha F4 Confession Record
Confessor Hiruzen: "Location: Konoha. I found her in the lab where Teacher Tobirama's experiment had exploded. Back then, I didn't know that Beagles had an expiration date, but I have to say, Milk Beagle was just so cute!"
Confessor Danzo: "I stood with her on the Hokage Rock countless times, gazing into the distance. I even thought about jumping off the cliff with her in my arms so we could die together. But then I realized that if I jumped, I might be the only one to die. Without me and Root, how could this naive little Beagle survive in this world without getting beaten to death...?"
"Hiruzen is indecisive, Koharu is mediocre, and Homura's thinking is rigid."
"After thinking it over, I'm the only one who can properly guide the Beagle Teacher Tobirama left behind... no, his legacy."
Not long after the Third Hokage took office, Danzo snatched a prodigy ninja from Hiruzen. According to the notes left by the Second Hokage, she had been able to assist him with ninjutsu experiments at just six years old, making her a rare research genius in the shinobi world. Unfortunately, she suffered a brain injury in an explosion and was now suffering from amnesia.
Confessor Danzo: "Hiruzen held her and cried when I took her away. Looking back, he was probably crying for me."
"It might have been fate's last warning to me, but I didn't understand it at all. I just took her home."
"From that day on, I never slept soundly again."

Beagle's perspective:
I woke up in a laboratory, starting with an amnesia debuff. Then there was some unknown male ghost in my head, endlessly chattering away. It convinced me that my splitting headache and mental state were closely related.
"You're so annoying. Shut up!"
Blurred faces flashed past. I think they called me...
I tried hard to remember, then finally collapsed on the floor. "As expected, whenever I get to the important details, I can't remember a thing~"
- "Do you know who I used to like most?"
- "Uchiha Izuna."
- "Then do you know who I am?"
The male ghost finally fell silent, leaving me in peace.
- "Then I'll call myself Uchiha Izuna from now on."
After a while...
- "Aren't you going to ask why?"
- "I guess I thought the person you like must have a nice name or something."
- "You really understand me. We must have been close before."
- "..."
This male ghost was so secretive. Even when I asked his name, he just mumbled. Since he even knew who I liked, I'd just call him Childhood Friend. When I was in a bad mood, I'd call him Loser Childhood Friend.
Hehe, I'm such a genius.
Anyway, first I needed to escape this lab that was guarded like it was protecting against thieves.
Huh! What's this? Why does it explode the moment I touch it?!
