The places you look for are dark, the sounds you hear are wind and rain, and the things you touch are only bone-eroding and cold.

The security brought by this human settlement at first was slowly disappearing from the sound of wind and rain in the darkness. The darkness that could not see anything was always terrible, covering the dead village with a strange aura.

Ye Zi moved slowly along the wall, and his hand attached to the wall suddenly stopped when he touched the smooth and cold glass window. He could not feel the dust in his palm, but this did not prove anything.

The dirty little hand was groping in the dark, and after the fingertips were embedded in a gap, he tried to break out. To his surprise, the window was not locked, but when he thought that there was no one there, he felt relieved.

After opening the window, Ye Zi was embarrassed to find that he could not climb up at all in his current physical condition, let alone enter the house through the window. He had no choice but to continue moving along the wall. After a while, he found the door to enter the house.

After nightfall, the rain became heavier, and even the specially extended eaves could not stop such heavy rain. The pipes used to clear the rain were driven by the water flow to make sounds. The rain shelter where Ye Zi was before was already wet.

"Boom..."

A huge thunder arc suddenly flashed across the night sky, illuminating the world in an instant. Although it only took a few seconds, it was enough for Ye Zi to see the house he was in. It was a very ordinary house with basic furniture.

With the lightning flashing from time to time, Ye Zi closed the window he had opened before, then found a box of matches and some paper, and burned a wooden bench and some wooden tableware as fuel.

Although it is irrational to know that it is irrational to produce light in such a strange and unknown place, he has no choice but to live tonight without making a fire to keep warm.

After raising the fire, Ye Zi finally felt the long-lost warmth, and the accumulated fear also evaporated a little. With the light of the fire, he searched roughly for the house and found no food at all, but the kitchen utensils were all there, but a pot of boiling water was burned.

In addition, he found that the furniture in the interior was not covered with dust and was very messy, which showed that there was someone living here not long ago, but for some reason, the people here left hastily.

"Where is this place?" Staring at the fire, Ye Zi looked confused.

Why is it here? Where is it? Can I go back?

Many questions pierced his head like a thousand needles.

If it weren't for the hardships I had experienced since childhood, perhaps Ye Zi would not even stand up from the moment he woke up. This was not only because of his own will, but also because this long-term malnutrition body was not as unbearable as imagined.

Leaning against the fire, Ye Zi, who was very tired from his spirit and body, leaned on the ground and fell asleep slowly. When he woke up, it was already dawn, but the rain outside did not mean to stop at all.

Ye Zi felt hungry and weak. If he didn't find food quickly, he would starve to death sooner or later.

He found clothes similar to raincoats in the house and put them on his body, then opened the door and walked into the rain curtain.

There was no one here, so there was no pressure to invade the house. However, after searching for several houses, he could not find food, which made him feel desperate.

"What is the reason why the people here leave in a hurry and don't leave any food?"

Ye Zi frowned and thought as he walked. From the corner of his eyes, he suddenly saw two iron trash cans on the corner of the street. He stopped and then walked towards the trash can without hesitation.

"If it's here..."

Ye Zi silently lifted the lid of the trash can and then pushed it down. Suddenly, the stench came, but he didn't even frown, but just squatted down and calmly fiddled with the residue that emitted the stench.

At the corner hundreds of meters away from where he was, two people stopped because of him, one man and one woman.

The woman is young and beautiful, with blond hair and beautiful brown eyes. She has a forehead guarding her forehead, and there is a leaf-shaped mark in the middle of her forehead.

Such a beautiful young woman has a piece of armor on her upper body, adding a hint of solemnity to her.

Another man also had a piece of armor on his upper body, but he had a green cloak than the woman. This man had long black hair, which was in a strong contrast with his extremely pale face. What was surprising was that this man had a pair of golden long pupils, and the faint eyeshadow that extended from his eyes to his nose made him exude a strange indifference.

These two people are Orochimaru and Tsunade who were preparing to return to the village after the war ended.

"Is it Yu Gu of another war?"

Orochimaru looked at Ye Zi's back coldly and took out a black kunai from the ninja bag on his waist.

"Living in such a painful way, it's better to die."

He murmured to himself coldly, holding Kuwu, and took a step forward.

"Orochimaru, that's just a kid without chakra."

Tsunade frowned slightly, reached out and pressed Orochimaru's shoulder to stop him.

"Ha." Orochimaru smiled coldly, turned his head to look at Tsunade and said, "So what?" After saying that, his shoulders shook and he broke free from Tsunade's hand.

Seeing Orochimaru go his own way, Tsunade locks his eyebrows deeper, but does not further stop Orochimaru.

I have been used to seeing too much life and death, and my hands are stained with too much blood, so that my heart is quietly hardened. In the final analysis, this is not a country of fire, nor Konoha Village...

Ye Zi didn't know that hundreds of meters behind him, someone was walking slowly with a handful of kunai to kill him. At this time, he was silently looking at a yellowish puppy in front of him. Obviously, the uninvited guest was also in a state of hunger, so he didn't seem docile. The low growl from his mouth seemed to show his sovereignty over the garbage on the ground.

"I forgot how long it took. I was like this at that time, just for a little bit of food that ordinary people throw away."

Ye Zi picked up a stone from the ground and stared at the little yellow dog silently, with a very calm eyes.

Seeing Ye Zi holding a stone, the little yellow dog suddenly felt threatened, but it was hungry in its stomach but did not want to give up. Speaking of which, if Ye Zi had not pushed the trash can, it would not be able to obtain the capital to survive in this trash can. So its roar gradually became violent from low.

"Sorry."

Such a weak threatening bark had no effect on Ye Zi. He picked up the stones not to drive away the little yellow dog. Compared to the things in the trash can, he was more interested in the ready-made meat in front of him, so he raised the stones without hesitation and smashed the little yellow dog.

The difference in figures between the two made the result destined from the beginning. In just over ten seconds, with several barkings, the little yellow dog was killed by Ye Zi.

He covered himself with a hat that fell off due to excessive movements, reached out to wipe the rainwater that had slipped through his face, and Ye Zi bent over and lifted up the same thin yellow dog, and then walked towards the direction of the house. In the case of fire, he didn't want to eat it raw.

Orochimaru, who stopped not far away, took all this into his eyes.

"Haha, interesting..."

He looked at Ye Zi's figure in his pocket, and his eyes were filled with interest. He thought that the child would at most drive away the little yellow dog, or split a place for the little yellow dog, but he did not expect that the other party would directly treat the little yellow dog as food.

If the child was a ninja... then this kind of thing would not surprise him. He also noticed a detail that the stone used to kill the little yellow dog was still held in his hand by the child, which means that the child began to realize the danger because of the appearance of the little yellow dog. Therefore, the stone as a weapon was still held tightly in his hand after it played its role. You must know that before that, he did not carry any weapons.

It gives people the feeling of... a sudden awareness and awakening of the environment? Or a moment of growth?

He suddenly had the idea of ​​bringing the child back to the village, but it was denied in a flash.

Although the war has ended, the atmosphere is still urgent. No matter what the reason is, it is difficult to bring an outsider into the village, even though the other party is just a child with no power.

but…

He stood in the rain, his cold snake eyes staring at Ye Zi. If such a child cannot be taken away, he can only kill him.

"Orochimaru."

Tsunade also saw what happened just now and was slightly surprised. Moreover, she noticed Orochimaru's vague murderous intent.

Ye Zi, who was walking towards the house, was sensitively aware of the malicious gaze coming from behind, and suddenly shivered, and turned around and looked at the place where the gaze came.

"people?"

After seeing the person clearly, Ye Zi breathed a little relieved, but then he became deeply alert, and this mentality directly affected his expression.
