It took Yang another two and a half days to get to the border of Kawanokuni.

For about two days, I walked on the outskirts of the Wind Country, and not only did I have to pay attention to the route, but I also had to avoid others.

In the desert, it is difficult to walk in a straight line from the starting point to the destination, and her departure from home will definitely not be discovered before the morning, whether it is close to someone or not, it is better to be on guard.

But maybe I showed the attitude of 'I want to go to Sand Hide to be a ninja' before, even if I go missing, my father and they will probably look around the courtyard first, and then go to Sand Hide immediately, right?

Even for ninjas, it takes at least a little more than a day to walk from the center to the border.

And Yang came out at night, counting the days spent, she had reserved enough time for her successful separation.

The outskirts of Kawanokuni are difficult to walk, but fortunately, the scenery is good, so you can enjoy it slowly while walking.

She even saw the 'attraction' in her impression of Araro minus Shouzuru.

-

Yang spent another day walking to the town of Kawanokuni.

The country of Kawanokuni is much smaller than the country of the wind, so she quickly appears on the streets where people walk.

Yang found a place to dig a hole with a spare new shovel, buried the food she had brought, put only a few pieces of dry pastry and money for breakfast on the inside of her clothes, and tidied up the ground to the point that only canines and white-eyed people could find it, and then she patted the ashes on her hands and found a big tree to climb up and sleep for a while.

-

In the evening, Yang woke up.

She simply ate something, dealt with her daily events, and then quietly ran out into the street to find the pit she wanted to ...... The kind of people you want to take away.

-

Half a day later in the middle of the afternoon.

-

"The ......"

Yang picked up a young man on the street who didn't look very old but wasn't too young...... The boy's sleeve, "I'm sorry, excuse me, how to get to the land of fire......"

The child who looks very thin, his face is not very complex, and he is carrying a lot of baggage behind him, especially like a person who is backward in the middle of the family road and plans to go to relatives and friends with all his belongings.

But unlike that Jean, the one in front of him was just a very young child.

So thought to the teenager who was being tugged at his clothes.

"Are you looking for someone in the Land of Fire?"

He pinched Yang's hand holding his sleeve, pulled up the sleeve, and squatted down to ask.

"Well, actually...... I don't have any real relatives in this world anymore.,I've heard that the Fire Country has a good environment.,And there's a ...... The village of このは will take in children like me and raise everyone to be ninjas...... I want to be a ninja so I can live without having to depend on others anymore......"

Yang said, holding his forehead with the palm of his other hand.

What she said was the truth, there really are no real relatives in this world, so it's not entirely a lie.

Yesterday's Yang slept quite peacefully, but after so many days of driving, his mental state was fine, but his physical strength couldn't keep up.

Yang has a symptom that most children have: fever.

A fever is like the lowest level of cold, but for a child, it is more troublesome than a cold.

Yang knelt down as he spoke.

The large burden on her back rolled forward as she knelt and smashed into the teenager opposite.

The man was a little stunned when he saw the child suddenly kneeling, and before he came back to his senses, he saw that he didn't know how many catties of burden was pasted towards his face, and he reflexively raised his hand to block it, but he also blocked it.

Then he found that the contents of the baggage did not seem to be as heavy as he had imagined.

…… Also, if it was a little heavier, how could this child carry it?

"What's wrong with you?"

He took the burden off Yang and put it aside, helping Yang to ask.

It's okay to ask, 'Are you okay?' but this kid doesn't look like he's okay, does he??

Politeness also depends on the situation.

"I'm just a little tired, how long will it take to get from here to the Land of Fire?"

Yang pretended not to need help.

Because as long as this is the case, there are generally some soft-hearted and gentle people who will offer to help when they see this.

Abbreviated as routines.

"Fire Country, it will take about a day and a half, have you been on your way? It's hard work, but you seem to have to take a good rest, and if you get sick, it will be very uncomfortable, but listening to what you said, you don't seem to have anywhere to go, and it just so happens that I have some aunts I know, and everyone is very good people, so let them help take care of you, okay? ”

This person doesn't know how to get along with such a young child.

I don't know how to get along with children who are so young and ask for directions by themselves.

…… This is not the case with ordinary children.

"I can do it myself, I don't need to be taken care of, but ...... Can Big Brother let me stay overnight? I also brought food, and I also have money, although it is a lot less for the price of the hotel, but it can also be used as the cost of accommodation, please ......! ”

Yang is still kneeling.

[All kneeling anyway.] ]

She took advantage of the situation and came to a dirt seat.

"Well, there's no cost, anyway, I'm living alone, so it won't cause me any trouble......"

The teenager was still a little confused.

But it's just a temporary child, and nothing will happen.

Yang is dressed very neutrally, and although his hair is not short, he looks more like a man than a girl.

Most of the young boys are also quite delicate.

"Thank you......"

Yang fell to the side halfway through getting up, and the person on the other side was afraid that she would fall and hurt and hurriedly supported her, hesitated, asked Yang's opinion, and then carried Yang on his back, and then took Yang's burden and went back to his home.

-

"What's your name? I'm ひのき. ”

This person's name still sounds good.

ひのき, simply means plant, can be written 檜.

I don't know if there is any deep meaning behind this name, or because this person's former parents gave such a name to a wasted name.

But it's really good.

“……”

Yang pretended not to hear it, looked out the window, and thought about what kind of name it would be better to give himself.

[Speaking ......]

Yang rubbed his head with a little headache, and while thinking about the past, he slowly thought of the name he would use in his heart.

“…… ゆう,まきのゆう,But call me ゆうや、ゆういち or ゆうた、叫ゆたか或まき也OK,It's almost the same anyway.,I don't care.。 ”

But if you call a long tone, there is always a feeling that you are about to be angry with the other party, as for other candidate names...... It just sounds good.

It's all fake anyway, and it's okay to be called anything, because no matter which one of you is, you may not be able to immediately react that you are calling yourself.

"So Yu...... By the way, you're a boy, right? ”

The bowl that had been washed before was washed again, and gave it to Yang...... Yu poured a bowl of water.

He called Yu Nian's first name very ordinarily, without adding a surname.

Yu didn't answer this positively, just tilted his head, "Brother Yu...... Do you want to stay with girls more? ”

Although it is not undesirable to be a girl, it is better to live as a man externally, which can save a lot of trouble.

can joke with other people like this, and the other party won't think much about it.

But at present, because I didn't take the initiative to say my gender, it can't be regarded as a default, but I just avoided answering.

After that, no matter what the other party says, you can not admit it.

Get along or something, of course, it's better to get along with how easy it is.

"Ahem, no, anyway, you should rest well, and it's not too late to hurry when your physical condition is better-"

She coughed and smiled, touched her head, covered her with her own quilt, and slipped out the door.

[Most people don't care if you just let a child stay overnight, but it's not so easy for someone who is older.] ]

Yu touched his chin in the not-so-warm quilt, thinking about other possibilities.

-

Yu thought about the possible branching routes, and filled in the plot in her mind little by little, but the more she thought about it, the more messy her head became, and she lost consciousness and fell asleep.

At night, Yu woke up once because he wanted to go to the bathroom, and when he passed by the small living room, he found that the owner of the house, Yu, was sleeping on a 'long bed' made up of several stools and rolling up another quilt.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened, and she didn't say anything about the man's behavior, nor did she call him up to ask where the bathroom was, but she was looking for it.

Fortunately, it wasn't in a hurry.

She went around looking for a circle to find the bathroom, to solve the daily incidents, after washing at the sink, she went back to check her baggage and money, and after finding nothing different, she went back to sleep peacefully.

-

When Yu came to his senses again, it was already completely dawn, and breakfast had been prepared on the other side of the house, beckoning her to eat with her.

"Didn't Brother Yu want to live somewhere else?"

Yu washed his hands and picked up a vegetable bag and ate it with a little thin millet porridge.

"I didn't ...... I've been in this place since I realized it, although I can't remember what my parents looked like anymore. ”

He took a bite of the vegetable bag, and although he talked about some sad past, he didn't look very sad.

[Maybe we can take him away...... The cooking is also delicious, and it looks like it's quite good at taking care of people, and it's not too old, so I don't know if we can go to school together......]

Yu's little abacus crackled in his heart, and while eating, he proposed to Yu:

"Then you might as well be my big brother and go with me, right? To be honest, if I go to Konoha, I don't have much confidence in living alone in a strange place...... And it seems to be a time of war in the mouth of the big people recently, and we can go to Konoha and settle down as brothers in distress—"

Looking at this child, he even forgot to chew the food in his mouth and swallowed it directly, almost choking, he hurriedly poured two mouthfuls of gruel, and then still looked at Yu in front of him with some shock.

Yu Zaina earnestly explained the advantages of walking with him, and explained the reason why he wanted to disguise himself as a brother.

It doesn't look like a child who looks like he's only a few years old.
