Everywhere you look, there is darkness, all you hear is wind and rain, and everything you touch is only cold and bone-eroding.

The initial sense of security that this human settlement brought was slowly fading away from the sound of wind and rain in the darkness, and the darkness of not seeing anything was always terrifying, casting an eerie aura over the dead village.

Ye Zi moved slowly along the wall, and the hand attached to the wall suddenly stopped when it touched the smooth and cold glass window, and the touch of dust was not felt in the palm of his hand, but this did not prove anything.

Dirty little hands groped in the dark, fingertips embedded in a gap, and tried to break out, to his surprise, the window was not locked, but the thought of this lack of popularity was relieved.

After opening the window, Ye Zicai was embarrassed to find that he couldn't climb up at all in his current physical state, let alone enter the house through the window, so he had no choice but to continue to move along the wall, and after a while, he found the door to enter the house.

After nightfall, the rain became heavier and heavier, and even the eaves that were specially extended could not stop such a heavy rain, and the pipes used to dredge the rainwater were driven by the water to make a burst of sound, and the shelter where Ye Zi was located before was already damp.

"Boom..."

A huge arc of thunder suddenly swept across the night sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth in an instant, although it was only a few seconds, it was enough for Ye Zi to see the appearance of the house where he was, it was a very ordinary house, and the basic furniture was there.

With the flash of thunder from time to time, Ye Zi closed the window that had been opened earlier, and then found a box of matches and some paper, and burned a wooden bench and some wooden cutlery as fuel.

Although he knew that it was irrational to give birth to a light in such a strange and unknown place, he had no choice, and if he didn't make a fire to keep warm, he wouldn't survive tonight.

After lighting the fire, Ye Zi finally felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time, and the accumulated fear also evaporated a little, with the light of the fire, he roughly searched the house, and did not find the slightest food, but the kitchen utensils were all there, but a pot of boiling water was boiled.

In addition, he found that the furniture in the room was not covered with dust, and it was very messy, which indicated that the place was inhabited not long ago, but he did not know why the people here left in a hurry.

"Where the hell is this?" Staring at the firelight, Ye Zi looked dazed.

Why is it here? What kind of place is this? Can I go back?

Many questions pierced his head like a thousand needles.

If it weren't for the suffering experience since childhood, maybe from the moment he woke up, Ye Zi wouldn't even be able to stand up, not only because of his own will, but also because this long-term malnourished body was not as unbearable as he imagined.

Leaning on the fire, Ye Zi, who was very tired mentally and physically, lay on the ground and slowly fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dawn, but the rain outside did not stop at all.

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

He found a raincoat-like garment in the house and put it on his body, then pushed open the door and stepped into the rain.

There was no one here, so there was no pressure to invade the house, but after searching several houses and not finding food, he began to feel hopeless.

"Why did the people here leave in a hurry and didn't leave any food behind?"

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

"The words here..."

Ye Zi silently lifted the lid of the trash can, and then pushed it down, and suddenly the stench came to him, but he didn't even frown, just squatted down and calmly stirred with the foul-smelling residue.

Around the corner a few hundred meters away from where he was, two men stopped because of him, a man and a woman.

The woman was young and beautiful, with blonde hair and beautiful brown eyes, and she had a forehead guard tied around her forehead, and in the middle of the forehead guard was a mark shaped like a leaf.

Such a beautiful young woman, but with a piece of armor on her upper body, added a touch of murderous aura to it.

The other man also wore a piece of armor on his upper body, but with a green cloak more than the woman, and this man had long black hair, which contrasted sharply with the extremely pale face, and amazingly, this man had a pair of longitudinal golden pupils, and the faint shadow that extended from the eyes to the wings of the nose gave it a strange indifference.

These two people are Orochimaru and Tsunade, who are about to return to the village after the war.

"Is it another remnant of war?"

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

"It's better to live so painfully than to die."

He muttered to himself coldly, holding the kunai in his hand, 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.

"Huh." Orochimaru smiled coldly, glanced sideways at Tsunade, and said, "So what? With that, his shoulders shook and he broke free of Tsunade's hand.

Seeing Orochimaru's insistence, Tsunade's brows tightened even deeper, but he didn't go any further to stop Orochimaru.

I'm used to seeing too much life and death, and my hands are stained with too much blood, so that even my heart is quietly hardened, in the final analysis, this is not the country of fire, not Konoha Village...

Ye Zi didn't know that hundreds of meters behind him, there was a person who was walking over with a kunai and preparing to kill him, at this time, he was silently looking at an earthy yellow puppy in front of him, obviously, this uninvited guest was also in a state of hunger, so he didn't seem docile, and the low roar from his mouth seemed to show his sovereignty over these garbage on the ground.

"I don't remember how long it was, I was like that back then, just for a little food scrap that ordinary people throw away."

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

Looking at Ye Zi holding a stone, the little yellow dog suddenly felt threatened, but it didn't want to give up because of the hunger in its belly, and if it wasn't for Ye Zi pushing off the trash can, it would not have been able to obtain the capital to survive in this trash can, so its roar slowly changed from low to intense.

"I'm sorry."

Such a weak threatening bark had no effect on Ye Zi, and he didn't pick up the stone to drive away the little yellow dog, compared to the things in the trash can, he preferred the ready-made meat in front of him, so he didn't hesitate to raise the stone and smash it at the little yellow dog.

The difference in body shape between the two made the result doomed from the beginning, but in just over ten seconds, with several miserable barks, the little yellow dog was stoned to death by Ye Zi.

Covering the hat that had fallen off because of too much movement, reaching out and wiping a handful of rain that had slid across his face, Ye Zi bent down and picked up the same skinny little yellow dog, and then walked in 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.

"Hehe, interesting..."

Putting Kunai into the ninja bag, he looked at Ye Zi's figure, his eyes flashed with interest, he thought that this child would drive away the little yellow dog at most, or set aside a place for the little yellow dog, but he didn't expect the other party to directly use the little yellow dog as food.

If this kid is a ninja... Then this kind of thing is not enough to surprise him, and he also noticed a detail, the stone used to kill the little yellow dog is still held in the child's hand, indicating that the child has begun to realize the danger because of the appearance of the little yellow dog, so the stone as a weapon is still held in his hand after it has played a role, you must know that before that, he did not carry any weapons.

It feels like... Sudden awareness and awakening to the environment? Or is it a momentary growth?

He suddenly had the idea of bringing the child back to the village, but it was denied in an instant.

Although the war is over, the atmosphere is still urgent, and for whatever reason, it is difficult to bring a person from another village into the village, even if the other party is just a helpless child.

But...

He stood in the rain curtain, his cold snake pupils kept staring at Ye Zi, such a child, if he couldn't take it away, he could only kill it.

"Orochimaru."

Tsunade was also slightly taken aback when she saw the scene just now, and she sensed the killing intent that Orochimaru faintly emanated.

Ye Zi, who was walking towards the house, was very sensitive to the malicious gaze coming from behind him, and shuddered in vain, and suddenly turned around and looked at the place where the gaze came.

"People?"

After seeing the person clearly, Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief, but then he was deeply vigilant, and this mentality directly affected the performance.

The man's malicious gaze made him put him on the list of bad people in the first place.
