Wearing a black raincoat and blending into the black rainy night, Li Zhen walked with difficulty on the muddy ground.

The cold wind and rain hit Li Zhen's numb face, and even his bone marrow seemed to have been washed away by the cold rain in this country, which stung extremely.

Li Zhen has been having hallucinations from time to time recently, and he misses some of the sparse and ordinary scenes in the past that cannot be remembered. He misses the warm feeling of the sun on his body. It is not too late to leave this country and find a place with good scenery to wait. Death is a different experience.

The only regret is that she will remain a virgin until her death, and the tools for committing crimes in this young body have not yet fully developed.

If it were in the past, I am afraid that I would have given up the illusory hope under the heavy blow, but Li Zhen, the second Zhoumu, is a person who will not give up even if he reaches the bridge. At worst, he will jump down the river and swim across, whether he drowns or reaches the end, it makes Li Zhen himself was a little surprised that it didn't seem to be that important.

"Wait... Yahiko..."

The timid voice carefully advised his stubborn companion, but the orange-haired fool was not discouraged even if he was rejected several times. Compared with a fragile person like Li Zhen who was tortured by cold rain and humidity to the point of hallucinations. Differently, Yahiko, who was born in this country, has a bright face.

"I'm not giving up! Not until that guy shows me how to use this thing!"

Carrying a knife that was too heavy for a child on his back, even the physically weak Yahiko had trouble chasing after Li Zhen for two days.But for Rijin, who could pick up this kind of sword with one hand, Yahiko was even more sure of his ability.

Yahiko needs strength. He has no lofty ambitions now. He just needs the strength to survive in this troubled world and the strength to protect Konan and Nagato.

But no one taught him how to use chakra and fighting skills. The Country of Rain is a small country that is not known for its martial arts. There is no inheritance of any fighting school in the country.After being baptized by the flames of war for many years, Sanshouyu Hanzo established Yuyin Village, which changed the situation of being one-sided and ravaged by others.

Yahiko once considered going to Amegakure Village to practice ninjutsu, but it is said that the reason why the ninjas of Amegakure Village are not inferior to the elite ninjas of the great powers is precisely because they have experienced rigorous training far beyond that of the great powers, and this The process will face extremely high mortality rates.

Yahiko is not afraid of any cruel training, as long as he can get the strength to protect Konan and Nagato. However, even the citizens of Amegakure Village, which pursues secrecy, cannot see the whole picture. Once he goes to ninja training, he loses Konan and Nagato who he took care of. Door, Yahiko is worried about them.

As for the three of them going together... Yahiko didn't want them to participate in such a dangerous practice, not to mention whether they could pass through the Rain Country that had become a battlefield and find the Hidden Rain Village alive.

Unlike his silly appearance and careless demeanor, Yahiko is thoughtful about his companions.

Having skills and being willing to use weapons in exchange for food shouldn't be a bad guy. Unlike those dangerous adults who can beat a dog's brains out at every turn, isn't this a rare opportunity for someone of a similar age?

"Yahiko, I didn't mean that..."

The red-haired boy, who was squirming like a girl, gently tugged on Yahiko's raincoat, causing him to turn around and see the little purple-haired girl who was panting but followed them without saying a word.

"Xiao Nan!"

Yahiko walked through the rain and came to the soft and frail Konan, who forced a smile on his face and said softly.

"It doesn't matter to me... Yahiko, just keep walking."

"Come to the front and take a rest, Konan, Nagato."

"Yahiko...it doesn't matter to me..."

"Okay, listen to me."

Turning his head to look at the figure disappearing in the rain, Yahiko was a little reluctant, but his companions were more important than this kind of thing, so he could only catch up later.

"Damn it, isn't that guy tired?"

Yahiko said angrily. Under the rock shelter from the rain, the three of them sat together and ate cold food.

Nagato broke open the noodles mixed together with unknown ingredients and placed them in front of the skinny little yellow dog. He took a small bite of the remaining half, swallowed it with difficulty and hesitated for a moment.

"Forget it, Yahiko, that person's eyes always feel dangerous..."

It was a cold gaze that did not look like a living person. There was no expression of any emotion in the eyes, not even a desire for life. Being stared at by that kind of eyes made Nagato feel more shuddering than Leng Yu.

"Nothing like that."

Yahiko picked up the knife and waved it around indiscriminately. Anyone could do it, but improper use of the sharp blade would not only hurt himself, but also the object he wanted to protect, so he needed someone to guide him.

"That doesn't sound like an unreasonable person. As long as you talk to him properly..."

"The problem is that the other party doesn't listen to you at all, right?"

"Well……"

"After all, Yahiko, are you too anxious? Stalking is very annoying."

"Ah, really? Maybe that's true..."

Nagato looked at Yahiko, whose head was hanging down after being struck by Konan, and smiled unconsciously.

It was obviously a pain not long ago, but after a period of wandering and meeting Konan and Yahiko, Nagato gained more important things than the pain.

As long as you are with them... you must...

Lightning illuminated the dim rain curtain, as it always does in this country, thick rain clouds obscure the sky and make it difficult to tell whether it is day or night.

Light and shadow illuminated the intruder's forehead protector. To Nagato, it was a nightmare symbol, the symbol of Konoha ninja.

"Hey, kiddos, hand over your food."

The Konoha ninja, whose body was soaked by the rain, had a wolf-like green light in his eyes, and his breathing was rapid. He did not wear rainproof equipment but was still lost in the battle.

Konoha's ninjas usually operate in teams of three. Even under special circumstances, few people act alone. The Konoha ninjas who were in a state of embarrassment didn't know whether they had lost their teammates or... escaped from the battle. By.

It is the first time for everyone to be born in this world, and it is the first time for everyone to walk in this world. Why should I use the precious life I only have once to fight with others?

"Ah...ah..."

Unlike standing up when he met that scary boy, Nagato looked at the Konoha ninja with trembling eyes. The painful memories affected Nagato and fell into chaos where he couldn't move.

Yahiko stood up and protected Konan and Nagato behind him. His eyes instantly confirmed the kunai that the Konoha ninja kept in his hands. No, even if he didn't confirm it, no matter whether he was escaping or resisting, it was impossible for a child to defeat an adult. .

"I understand. The food is here. I will slowly put it on the ground. Please don't hurt us."

This is not the first time that Yahiko and the others have experienced this kind of thing. As long as they honestly hand over all their belongings, generally no one will pay attention to children like them. Although some people will beat them to vent their emotions, but eating After all, there are only a few perverted and murderous people who want to kill people for fun.

The ninjas of Konoha were also stunned, speechless because of the skill and sensibleness of the orange-haired kid.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, a bolt of lightning illuminated the sword Yahiko placed next to him.

"You! Are you here to hunt me too!? Damn it!"

To strike first, the hunted rebel Konoha held the kunai tightly and pounced on Yahiko and the others like a frightened bird.

The pain and fatigue of the battle, the joy of surviving elusively, the guilt of betraying his compatriots, the pain and anger of being hunted by his former companions, all these have brought the fragile nerves of the Konoha rebels to the verge of collapse.

As a result, he is reflexively hypersensitive to anyone holding a weapon.

"No! This... Konan, Nagato! Run!"

Without time or space to explain, Yahiko pulled out his knife in a panic to buy time for his two companions. The little yellow dog named Xiao Dot rushed towards the Konoha rebel without barking or roaring, and opened his mouth to bite him. On the legs!

Just like before, help your little master escape smoothly.

"Go away!"

"Wow!"

It's just that this time the target of the obstruction is no longer the shop owner, but a ninja, a combat expert who licks blood from the edge of a knife.

"little guy!"

After hearing the screams, Nagato turned back and picked up the kicked little one in his arms. No one could blame him for his actions. This little yellow dog was his first partner and a family member who depended on each other for life.

"No one takes me seriously! What's wrong with running away just to survive!?"

Konoha's rebel ninja yelled nervously, speaking to himself, and the high-end sharp kunai distributed to front-line combatants stabbed Nagato, who was hugging the little one tightly.

"Nagato!"

Konan's shout made the trembling Nagato raise his head. Facing the pain in the past and the future that could never be erased, the invisible force swung open the bangs in front of Nagato's forehead, revealing a pair of purple eyes.Those pupils were slightly wider for a child, as if an adult's pupils had been randomly placed in the sockets of a child's eyes.

There were waves of stinging pain in Nagato's brain and flooded into his optic nerve. The approaching death forced the defensive instincts of his eyes to open, squeezing Nagato's life force to condense the pupil power, and he was about to launch a shocking blow to eliminate all external enemies. .

hooah!

Lightning once again illuminated the dimness under the rock. The keenness trained by the Konoha traitor made him notice the extra person who appeared at an unknown time. He interrupted his stab at Nagato and quickly retreated with him. The unknown figure distanced himself.

Also saved his own life.

The rebel ninja of Konoha had also been on the battlefield and faced the fear of life and death, so he could tell that the new intruder was different from these three brats.

Is this guy the pursuer?

Shaking the water off his raincoat, Li Zhen waved his hand after noticing the ninja.

"You continue as if I don't exist."

"...Do you even look down on me!?"

"...?"

It was not a deliberate and purposeful betrayal, but a forced one. His stance and choices led to the bad course of betrayal. He was not mentally prepared for betrayal, so his mental state was extremely unstable, otherwise he would not have been able to do so. Wouldn't it be obvious that Yahiko and the other three are really no threat?

But the same goes for this little guy who doesn’t take people seriously!

"Hey, wait..."

The rebellious Konoha ninja who still refused to listen to others shot a kunai at the arrogant kid. Not only did the latter avoid it without even scratching his clothes, he was also able to think about a wave of shuriken kunai in his memory. It seems that not many famous ninjas died here?

It is difficult to even hit the enemy, so the fact that I often miss is within the scope of normal people, and it is definitely not because I am too good!

"So you people from Konoha..."

The thrown black raincoat obscured the sight of the Konoha rebel. The three shurikens fired by the Konoha rebel instantly tore the raincoat into pieces and hit the target hiding behind the raincoat!

The Konoha traitorous ninja stepped forward with two kunai and quickly cut cross wounds on the target.

Bang.

Before there was time to confirm the target's body, the poor gray wolf who was channeled disappeared from this world with a puff of white smoke.

"...You can't even listen to what others say!"

"Varied……!"

Li Zhen jumped to the top of the rock under the cover of his raincoat. A blue light appeared in his empty hand, which instantly formed a slender blade. He waved it and his head fell to the ground.

With the sound of the watermelon rolling to the ground, the body of the Konoha traitor twitched and fell.

"You, you are really powerful!"

The fight between the two was fleeting, and Yahiko forgot about the previous encounter and gathered around Li Zhen excitedly.

"Nagato! I said this guy doesn't look like a bad guy! He even came back to save us!"

"Ah...thank you for saving us..."

"..."

Li Zhen looked at the cheerful Yahiko with a look on his face. Why did this guy send him a good guy card without any basis?

Although I have no intention of rescuing people,... I won’t tell you the embarrassing truth of walking far away only to find that there is no suitable shelter to rest and then returning dejectedly the same way!

The azure blue blade in his hand shattered and dissipated. It was not suitable for maintaining for a long time and consumed a lot of chakra.

For some reason, Rasengan's practice has never been successful, but during this process, Li Zhen had a profound understanding of the changes in chakra's form. This blue long sword was the useless result he came up with during this process.

This is not a product of chakra materialization. In fact, if you want to make pure chakra material into a physical object, you need to have the amount of chakra at the level of a tailed beast. Moreover, it is very expensive and meaningless. Only Poor chakra-less people might do that.

This long sword is a mixture of condensed rainwater and chakra. The combination of matter and energy is not only troublesome to use, but also consumes a lot of chakra. It is not as useful as just taking a real sword, which is barely enough under special circumstances. use.

It is very convenient for ninjas who have water-type chakra. They can use their own chakra to create such weapons, and it does not consume much.But for Li Zhen, if there is no rain or existing water sources, it is impossible to make weapons, so it is said to be a useless achievement.

The dead Konoha ninja was originally a very important source of intelligence, but it was a pity that Li Zhen was unable to leave him alive. The other party seemed to be in an abnormal mental state. Li Zhen did not win as easily as it seemed, but...either you die, It's just a reality that I will die.

Gollum...

Although it was not the sound of thunder, the chakra consumption was still clearly reflected, but for a shameless guy like Li Zhen, this was not something to be embarrassed about.

So Yahiko and Nagato saw the cold-faced boy making a sound that was not cold at all...

But, but!As long as you show this kind of thing openly!So!It will be someone else who is embarrassed!

"Um, if you don't mind... do you want to eat?"

The girl with a bright smile held the cookie with the white paper peeled off in both hands, and seemed not to be afraid of the murderer's cold gaze.

"……eat."

There was not much hesitation in answering.
