So hard! My brain just can't keep up! Is this Naruto or Detective Conan after all? Do we really have to start off with such a brain teaser? I'm only four years old right now, three years younger than the shinigami elementary school kid!

　　Henry Carter, wincing in pain as he stood up, looked around the room. It was simple and spacious, with strong lines and a sense of depth—a standard Japanese style. Well, that's all nonsense; Henry Carter didn't know a thing about Japanese style. He just saw the futon on the tatami.

　　"Isn't there usually a village chief grandpa in the beginner village?" With a head full of questions, Henry Carter was eager to find someone to ask what on earth was going on.

　　"Yo, kid, you're awake!"

　　A middle-aged man with purple hair, dressed in a black mesh outfit, slid open the door, looking rather annoyed.

　　"Ah! There he is, the beginner village's grandpa!"

　　"What an unlovable brat!" The man looked even more displeased.

Chapter 4: I'm So Cute, I Must Be a Boy

　　"What an unlovable brat!" William Baker looked thoroughly annoyed. It was clear—this was a little troublemaker.

　　"Sigh! I thought it would be a grandpa!" Henry Carter scratched his head, putting on an innocent face as if to say, "Don't pick on me, I'm just a kid." But inside, he was ranting: Black mesh bodysuit, huh? Is it really okay for a grown man to dress like this? Officer, there's a pervert here!

　　"Why would it be a grandpa?" William Baker asked, puzzled, completely unable to follow the logic of a brat.

　　"Isn't that how it always goes in stories? Being chased, falling off a cliff, then meeting a super powerful grandpa." Henry Carter kept up the clueless act.

　　"……" Where did you hear stories like that! There are no cliffs here, and no super powerful grandpas either!

　　"Sorry, mister!" Seeing that William Baker was ignoring him, Henry Carter quickly apologized. He still had a ton of questions to ask and couldn't afford to offend this guy. In his previous life, this outfit would be perverted, but in the Naruto world, it's definitely a ninja.

　　"M... mister!" William Baker looked as if he'd been struck by lightning. Sure, the kid in front of him was about the same age as his own daughter, so being called "mister" wasn't that strange, but why did it sound so heartbreaking! I'm in my prime at thirty, the golden age for a ninja.

　　"What's wrong, mister?" Henry Carter was really pushing his luck.

　　"Nothing, mister it is!" William Baker waved his hand, not wanting to argue with a brat.

　　"Mister, my name is Henry Carter, I'm four years old, thank you for saving me." Seeing that his target had little interest in him, Henry Carter quickly switched personas. If the clueless act didn't work, he'd try being polite. Just a local in another world—he had a hundred personas, one of them was bound to fit.

　　"Henry Carter, huh?" William Baker raised an eyebrow. "No need to thank me, I wasn't the one who saved you. Also, is Henry Carter your full name?"

　　"Huh?" Henry Carter thought, I've used this name for two lifetimes.

　　"Like my name, Mitokorozukiyo... Shikyo. What about you, is Henry Carter your full name? Is it something like Itou Henry Carter, Tojo Henry Carter, or the like?" William Baker said casually, but was actually watching Henry Carter closely.

　　"My name is just Henry Carter, that's my full name—surname Du, given name Ke!" Who would have surnames like Itou or Tojo? You'd get executed for that! This uncle called William Baker, don't just blurt out such dangerous words. This book might get axed! Well, it's only chapter four, so it wouldn't be a big loss anyway!

　　"Full name, huh?" William Baker looked down at him, trying to see through him, but Henry Carter really wasn't lying—this was his name.

　　"Is there a problem?"

　　Henry Carter was confused. Could it be that his background was mysterious, and his real name was Uchiha Henry Carter, Senju Henry Carter, or Otsutsuki Henry Carter?

　　"No, just confirming! After all, if we're going to change your name, I should at least ask your opinion." William Baker had already confirmed that the kid in front of him had no idea about his Mizunotsuki bloodline, which made things much easier. As the head of the Anbu, he trusted his own abilities—a four-year-old couldn't fool him.

　　Fine, a four-year-old really can't fool you, but what about a four-year-old with twenty-six years of experience? He's your age already, and he has a hundred personas...

　　"Change my name?" Why change my name for no reason? You want to change my name—are we even that close? Is the surname Du not good enough? Where I come from, there are over five million people with the surname Du. If each of them spat once, you'd have enough to swim in. You, you pervert in a mesh bodysuit, if you don't give me a good explanation today, be ready to face the wrath of five million people!

　　"From now on, your name is Henry Baker, and I'll be your guardian." William Baker thought it over carefully. Naming was definitely not his strong suit.

　　"Eh!! That's way too careless, you just slapped 'Mitokorozu' in front of my name. It doesn't feel like a change at all!" Henry Carter complained. This counts as a name change? I'm still called Henry Carter! And what's with this guardian thing, is it literal? That would be tragic!

　　"Not satisfied? Then how about Mitokorozu Goudan, or Mitokorozu Maodan, Mitokorozu Jidan, Yadan, E'dan—you can pick whichever you like!" William Baker didn't care at all. It's just a name, just a code name, what's the big deal? Brats have too many demands—keep it up and I'll just call you Goudan.
