For Zhenyong, this kind of daily routine seems to be back to the old days - those simple, goal-oriented days.

On the other hand, the children who tremble in the face of death have an unexpected strength - every day, every day, they face this terrible fear repeatedly, but they still maintain their humanity and try to live it.

It's remarkable, if it's really brave himself... Maybe it has become a beast that chooses people to eat.

Time passed slowly in this unremarkable daily life, and the true courage that was originally just a passerby was gradually accepted by the three children... This strange, eternally masked wandering poet taught them how to fish, how to weave nets, how to avoid dangerous beasts, how to distinguish the poison of wild plants... Although he only told them a little bit every time, it is undeniable that compared to those days and nights struggling near the survival line, this period of time can be regarded as a happy time... Happy days always pass too quickly.

…

"Ahlala~I didn't expect to find such a good thing~"

During today's routine foraging trip, Mayu and Yahiko spotted an ambushed caravan... No one survived, and the supplies had almost been swept away, but for Yahiko, who was living in the middle of the war, it was a gift from heaven!

Leftovers, daily necessities, and other things that ninjas don't look up to, are very important to them in troubled times...

And what surprised Zhenyong even more was that he found a small pot of turbid wine in this unlucky carriage...

For this era when even food is in short supply, wine is indeed a rare luxury! And two lives, Zhenyong, who has been a child for more than ten years, has not been able to come into contact with such high-end entertainment products in the wood industry...

He pushed the slight xiangshang of the mask a little, and then took a sip to himself - the sake brewing jishu of this era is not the top, not to mention this kind of troubled times when everyone is in danger, this wine does not have much refreshing aftertaste, but adds a lot of bitterness...

But Zhenyong still raised the corners of his mouth.

Bitter wine, naturally, is not the first time to drink it, for ninjas, wine is just the dross that is easy to make mistakes, but what Zhenyong has done these days, isn't it a waste of time?

Next to the fire in the depths of the cave, a few little ghosts have already lit a small bonfire, the temperature that is constantly flickering, constantly flickering, and the shijie outside, the rare drifting snow...

In the blink of an eye, it's been three years...

Maybe it's because this body is still young, or maybe it's because everyone is drunk and drunk, Zhen Yong turned to the side drunk, and he looked at the three little ghosts who were playing, they were like white roses blooming next to this Shura Road...

At first, it was just a low murmur, and he didn't know where he had heard it, but when he got to Zuihou, he sang softly to the rhythm in his head

"The long road is long, and I am full of courage and heat; In the dream of seeking truth and love, walking and stopping as a hometown; The world is thrown into the fire of ten thousand catastrophes, and the ethereal is endless."

The imps still didn't understand the meaning of the song, but Zhenyong's deep voice made them naturally quiet, they also experienced pain, and the strong resonance began from the depths of their hearts, spreading beautiful chords to every corner of the cave...

"Welcome the sun and the moon and the wind, and the white ripples wash my madness; Laughing and talking about heroic things in the coming days, rather rusty beacon fire and a hundred battle guns... Laughing and talking about heroic things in the future, I'd rather rust the beacon fire and fight a hundred guns~"

Lying on his side, Zhenyong seemed to be really drunk, and in the gap of the mask, Sanxiao saw that warm smile for the first time...

"Haha, poet, you're drunk" Xiao Nan covered her mouth and laughed, she opened her slightly closed eyes, looked in the direction of Zhenyong, and waved her hand to Zhenyong as if she wanted to be funny...

However, her hand was suspended in mid-air...

At the far entrance of the cave, a man with a short knife appeared in their field of vision... There was still visible blood on his body, not only his own, but also the enemies who died under the daggers...

But at least one thing is certain, the rock ninja who is tied to his forehead is silently explaining his identity as a ninja!

Ninja!

Ninjas who are still at war!!

"Don't come here!!"

Just like facing True Courage that day, Yahiko immediately jumped up and blocked in front of the other two imps... He held the old kunai in his hand, but he didn't dare to pray for the same good fortune as Shin Yong had at that time...

Today... I'm going to die here... A thought flashed, but he held the kunai in his hand more firmly!

At least... At least let Xiaonan and Nagato live!

"Ahh Xiao Nan, you quickly escape with Nagato!! ”

He almost closed his eyes like the other party rushed over! Of course, from the very beginning, he did not feel that he would be able to kill the other ... He was just dying.

"If I die, my companion will be saved or something..."

One hand, holding Yahiko's arm, the force that could not be refused left him in place, and the familiar, always cynical voice that sounded cynical in the past, today sounded a little more flavorful...

For the first time in three years, Jinyong slowly removed the mask covering his cheeks... Probably because he hadn't been exposed to sunlight for too long, his face looked a little pale, but he couldn't find any trace of lignification! Yes, this face is more mature than it was three years ago, but that doesn't stop the playful smile that rises at the corner of his mouth!

"It's so stupid to think like that..."He paused, but didn't look back at Yahiko beside him, "Yahiko, you have to remember that the weak who sacrifice death will never be favored by fate - if you want to protect those who are important to you, you have to become stronger... Strong enough to deal with any crisis! ”

Taking a step forward, Zhenyong's whole person stood in front of Yahiko... At that moment, this familiar figure became infinitely taller!

"You followed the voice, didn't you?"

He spoke to himself, then shook his head again

"You shouldn't have come."
