Tick.

Tick.

The rain dripped down the robe, and after hearing Nagato's voice, Yahiko reluctantly raised her head and smiled, and then fell silent again, for a moment, as if realizing that she shouldn't behave like this in front of the two, she quickly dispelled the gloom in her heart, revealing a sunny smile:

"Well, Nagato, I'm back."

After that, take off your coat, sit down and grope for a while, and show off today's harvest.

A small bag of moldy paddy.

Because of the mold, the surface is slightly black and mixed with dirt, and judging by the creases on the bag, it seems to have been squeezed for a long time.

This is normal, as orphans, the only way they can get food is to steal, rob, and even cheat for it, so their lives are doomed to be insecure.

Before, although the war was going on, the economy of the Land of Rain had not been dragged down, but now it was different, the shadow of imminent defeat hung over everyone's heads, not only the shortage of food, but even the firewood used to warm life was given priority to the front line, resulting in a lack of resources in the rear.

Countless people have died of starvation, freezing, and even survival conflicts, and as war orphans, they have borne the brunt of the most tragic end.

Recalling the scene when they were almost killed before, if Yahiko hadn't taken the opportunity to leave with the two of them, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Cannibalistic ......"

With a gloomy look in his eyes, Yahiko's heart was very painful, what was the reason for the originally kind uncle to become hideous? It's terrible to let a homeless child die in his abdomen, is such a world really where he originally lived?

War! The war must be ended!

Clenching his palms fiercely, Yahiko hates this war extremely much, change it! Stop it! Destroy it...... And so on and so on in the mind, and then, back to silence.

Treading ......

Leaving the coat in a corner, they found an iron pot covered in rust from a grocery pile, which they had found in the garbage heap, and was now just right for cooking.

Washed with rain casually, Yahiko saw Xiao Nan squatting on the ground, and couldn't help but ask strangely:

"Xiao Nan, what's wrong with her?"

"This ......"

His eyes were a little dodgy, and he didn't dare to face Yahiko's gaze, but it was not a way to drag it all the time, so he simply let it go out and told Xiao Nan about bringing a boy back.

Moment.

Nagato could clearly see Yahiko's expression, from confusion at first, to surprise, and finally to distress.

"Yahiko, I'll cook first......"

Looking at Yahiko cautiously, Nagato stepped back as little as possible to not alarm him, and then fled quickly.

Yahiko is not in the mood to pay attention to this at the moment, on the contrary, he is extremely distressed at the moment, it is already very difficult to feed himself three people, if you add another ......

The more he thought about it, the more distressed Yahiko became, and in the end, he decided to take a look first to see what the boy Xiao Nan brought back looked like.

……

……

Meanwhile.

Uchiha's consciousness gradually came to his senses, but instead of opening his eyes, he used his sense of hearing to gather information, and after listening to the conversation between Yahiko and Nagato, he finally understood his current situation.

Was it picked up as an orphan?

Although he looked miserable at the time, even in terms of weapons, he wouldn't be considered an orphan, right?

Thinking helplessly, the Uchiha Division didn't dare to delay here now, in case it was found by the follow-up rain ninja troops, not only would it be a dead end, but it would also involve the three of Yahiko.

Click.

Just as he was thinking like this, he suddenly heard the sound of a piece of wood being stepped on, and then he heard Yahiko's voice, and he immediately gathered his thoughts and disguised himself as unconscious.

At the same time.

Yahiko accidentally stepped on a piece of firewood when he walked over, and it was the rainy season, so it was difficult to find dry wood like this, so Nagato, who rushed over after hearing the sound, blamed him for a while.

"Sorry, sorry......"

Touched his head embarrassedly, but fortunately, Nagato didn't really want to talk about him, and repeatedly warned him to pay attention to his feet when walking, and then picked up the broken firewood in two, turned around and continued to cook.

After the Nagato walked.

Yahiko refocused his gaze on the Uchiha, and at the first sight of the boy, he was surprised, because the orphans left behind in the war were usually either yellow or thin, or covered in scars, although the scar on the Uchiha's chest looked terrifying.

But Yahiko could see at a glance that the vast majority of these scars had only been produced in the past two months.

Moreover, Uchiha's skin is different from the salallow of ordinary people, but it looks like a child of a pampered big family, with a feeling of white and red.

"Xiao Nan said that he may be a child of a big family, it doesn't seem to be nonsense."

Like the Land of Fire, the Land of Rain also has a family similar to the Uchiha, but more of them are merchants, relying on the supply of a large number of weapons, making this group of merchants make a lot of money, almost as rich as the country!

In addition, due to the supply chain, business routes, etc., the country of rain had a very unpleasant quarrel with this group of merchants during this period of time, and in the end, because he couldn't accept the other party's asking price, Hanzo ordered the merchants to be expelled and all their property nationalized.

So, this guy can't be the heir of that group of merchants, right?

This makes sense, Yahiko thinks that he has found a perfect explanation, and even if he is the son of a merchant, this fate means that his father has been liquidated, otherwise it would never have become like this.

Thinking of this, Yahiko sighed, looked at the Uchiha Division who didn't seem to have any intention of waking up, thought for a while, pulled the only quilt in the cave over and covered him, and said seriously:

"Don't worry! No matter what your identity is, since we have found you, I will never give up on you, and we will be a family from now on! ”

So said.

Because he knew very well in his heart that in the midst of war, the best way to keep orphans alive was to report to the group to keep warm, not to mention that he was still the eldest of the all, and seeing that the Uchiha was only about five years old, he couldn't be indifferent.

Gollum......

Not far away, the gruel that Nagato was in charge of boiling had begun to gurgle and steam, suddenly adding a touch of smoke to the originally calm cave.

Smelling the smell coming from the air, it was not strictly speaking, and even had a strange smell, but now being able to eat was already the greatest happiness, and they didn't dare to ask for more.

With a smile on his face, Yahiko patted Xiao Nan who was squatting on the ground, and said helplessly:

"Xiao Nan, it's time to eat."

Xiao Nan didn't speak at first, but after a while, his stomach made a hungry sound, which made Xiao Nan raise his head shyly, and under Yahiko's helpless expression, he pretended to be casual and walked to the pot.

Dangdangdang......

Chopsticks tapped on the iron pot, and finally, the gruel was ready, and Nagato didn't know where to find four broken bowls and poured the gruel into it.

After doing this, Nagato was the first to pick up the bowl and start eating, followed by Xiao Nan who shouted, 'What cunning!' Subsequently, he also joined the war.

And beside the two, Yahiko felt very satisfied when he saw the noisy scene.

How nice would it be if we continued to live like this?

Perhaps knowing that this was just a delusion, Yahiko shook his head, then picked up his share and joined the battle.
