It was evening, and the sky was scarlet with the brilliant sunset. After an orange sunset gave its last smile to the earth, it slowly sank below the horizon. A cool autumn breeze blew through a tall birch forest, and the branches and leaves swayed like a gentle murmur. A yellowish leaf swirls in the air in the wind, fluttering and falling to the ground.

A chubby, white hand, suddenly reached out from the knee-high grass on the ground and gently clamped the leaf. A small cloud of blue light suddenly poured out of the little hand, and the leaves instantly broke in two in the middle.

With a childish sigh, a small figure slowly sat up from the grass.

I saw that he was wearing a small light gray hoodie, a pair of black leggings on his legs, and a pair of dark blue shoes with strange shapes on his feet. He grabbed a slightly messy black hair with his hand, a pair of big black and white eyes stared at the half of the leaves in his right hand without blinking, and a helpless wry smile appeared on a white and lovely little round face.

Judging from his size and appearance, he is just a three-year-old child. But judging from his confused eyes and the complicated expression on his face, there was a hint of weirdness that did not match his age.

"It's been three years, and it's still hard to accept!" The child tossed half of the leaf aside, then propped his hands back on the ground, shrugged his little shoulders, and looked up at the dim sky peeking out from the canopy. A flock of birds chirping past him and then descended into the depths of the woods.

"Little tree, come out quickly, we're going home!" Just then, a woman's gentle call came from the outskirts of the woods, followed by a howling dog.

Hearing this call, the child's eyes that were a little out of focus suddenly lit up, and a sweet smile appeared on the little face.

"Here we go! Mom waits for me! The little boy, called the little tree, stood up with a crisp carp. He was about to run away, but as if he remembered something, he turned and bent down, and after lifting a small basket full of wild mushrooms, he ran like a hare, at a speed far several times his age, and bounced out of the woods.

Outside the birch forest, a tall, long-haired woman squinted her eyes and smiled, stretching out an arm and waving at the small figure that was hurrying towards her. A large black wolfdog the size of a calf half-crouched on her lap, spitting out its long tongue and wagging its long thick tail.

The woman looked to be about twenty-four or five years old, wearing a black tights with an army green waistcoat and a boxy, dark tool kit tied to her legs with white straps. Her appearance is quite good, and her fair face is painted with a pair of red wolf fangs. She tilted her head slightly, her long hair pouring down, a touch of metallic hues, revealing a forehead guard engraved with a strange pattern like a leaf like a flame.

The little boy jumped into the woman's arms, and the latter's body leaned back slightly, his long black waterfall hair fluttering in the wind. Then I saw her copy it with one hand, and hugged the little man like a porcelain doll. The big wolfdog also stood up with his tail wagged, raised his head and licked the little boy's calf with his tongue.

"Aomaru, open up! It's itching!" After being licked by the rough dog's tongue, because of the unbearable itching, the child let out a crisp scolding sound and giggle laughter.

Seeing this, a gentle smile also appeared on the woman's face. She tapped her finger on the little boy's forehead and placed it on the back of the big wolf dog known as Aomaru. Then, talking and laughing, they walked towards a super-tall walled village surrounded by greenery a few hundred meters across the woods.

Under the reflection of the sunset, the body of this big and small dog is covered with a layer of warm colors, looking from a distance, like the most beautiful oil painting.

"Inuzuka Yi, ninja number 012011, Konoha patrol deputy team leader. Drip! Identification is complete! At the wide entrance of the village, the woman took out a card like an ID card, and gently swept it in front of the scanner in the duty room, and a mechanical cold prompt sound came out.

"Sister Ayi, are you back from your patrol mission? Little tree, little trickster, did you go out to dig the bird's nest again? A delicate black-haired woman in a navy blue uniform jumped out of the duty room, first greeted the woman named Inuzuka Yi affectionately, and then bent down and smiled and flicked a brain on the little boy's forehead.

After the little boy covered his forehead and sighed, instead of getting angry, on the contrary, he giggled and shouted: "Aunt Pingzi, don't wronged people!" Usually climb a big tree to dig out a bird's nest, is it good to stop the water? I'm very well-behaved. You see, this is the mushroom I picked, and I can make my mother's favorite mushroom ramen at night. ”

Inuzuka Yi burst out laughing, and secretly praised his son's troubles in his heart.

Looking at Pinko, who was crossed, glared and sneered at with her fist, Inuzuka shook her head helplessly. I saw her quietly winking at Aomaru, who whined and ran towards the village with the little boy on his back.

"Pingzi, don't listen to Xiaoshu's nonsense. How could such a well-behaved child climb a tree and dig out bird eggs? Hee-hee! Inuzuka Yi blinked with a pair of good-looking eyes and said to the black-haired woman. However, in the end, he couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing again. After smiling and saying sorry to this young playmate and best friend, Inuzuka flashed and chased after Xiao Budian, who was still babbling.

Seeing this, the woman who was called Aunt Pingzi by the little boy was actually laughed at by the two of them.

"Fresh mushroom ramen? What a mother and son! Hum! Stop the water, and wait for my mother to go back at night to make you a stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots, hum! The black-haired woman snorted coldly, turned her head and said to several men in black security uniforms in the duty room: "You continue to be on duty, I'll go back first!" ”

"Yes! Vice! The men stood up and looked at the woman with respectful eyes.

The black-haired woman nodded, and then swept towards the eastern part of the village. Under the sunset, the red and white fan-shaped logo behind her looks particularly bright and dazzling.

That night, Uchiha Shisui ate his grumpy mother's fried pork with bamboo shoots, Inuzuka doesn't know for the time being. But his gentle mother picked the fresh mushrooms he picked by himself, and the few bird eggs he picked up by climbing the tree himself...... I made him a large portion of fragrant fresh mushroom ramen, and both of them ate it with relish.

Yes, this person is a little doll with a big ghost, and his name is Inuzuka Tree. The mother who lives with him, named Inuzuka Yi, is a special shinobi who is also listed in Konoha Village. His father's name was Inuzukado, but he died in an important mission a year earlier, and became a cold symbol on the tombstone of Kuroishi. The surname Inuzuka is not ordinary, because it is the Ninja family in Konoha Village that is famous for raising ninja dogs-Inuzuka family.

And the world where Inuzuka is located is naturally the Hokage world in parallel time and space.

Inuzuka Tree, in fact, his real name should be called Xiao Shu. Strictly speaking, although his body belongs to the Hokage World, his soul is from another time and space, the Blue Star Earth of the 21st century.

Xiao Shu is a college student with excellent character and learning at Shudu University of Geosciences in China. His parents died in an eight-magnitude earthquake at an early age, leaving Xiao Shu alone to be raised by his grandfather and read to adulthood. Although his life was miserable, his grandfather's favor also made Xiao Shu develop an optimistic and cheerful personality.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. When his grandfather suddenly died of a heart attack, Xiao Shu became a veritable orphan. After asking the school for leave to deal with his grandfather's funeral, Xiao Shu signed up for a primeval forest expedition in order to relax.

Maybe fate was joking with Xiao Shu, the ten-person expedition team that signed up for the expedition actually encountered a sudden dense fog in the dense forest, and for a while they couldn't see their five fingers, and the group became veritable blind. What's even more inexplicable is that ten people are obviously walking in the same direction, but suddenly they lose any sound from their teammates.

When this strange fog cleared, Xiao Shu found himself in the depths of the primeval forest. What's even worse is that not far behind him, a group of roaring wild wolves rushed to outflank him. Under the urgency of the situation, Xiao Shu's potential exploded, and he hurriedly climbed a big tree surrounded by adults.

But, unfortunately, his backpack was torn alive by a wolf-like wolf with glowing green eyes. You know, that backpack contains all his rations and equipment!

As time passed, the wolves, known for their patience and cunning, still gathered under the tree, not giving Xiao Shu any chance to escape. Xiao Shu, whose hungry eyes glowed green, looked around in the canopy, and found two wild fruits the size of a baby's fist, one red and one green, on the branches above his head. Overjoyed, Xiao Shu decisively picked all the two fruits. However, when he was about to speak, Xiao Shu was guilty of choosing a difficulty.

The green fruit looks unpretentious, the surface is still a little rough, and occasionally a faint fragrance comes out. The red fruit is full and round, full of attractive bright red color, and there is a burst of fragrant aroma.

Xiao Shu, who has always loved outdoor adventures, knows a common sense in nature, that is, the brighter the color, the higher the danger. Looking at the bright red wild fruit that was as unique as poisoning Snow White in a fairy tale, Xiao Shu smiled, opened his mouth and stuffed the green fruit into his mouth.

Strange things happened, this green wild fruit actually melted in his mouth, and without giving him time to react at all, it swallowed into his stomach and melted into his body as a cool air current. Then, a thick sense of sleepiness came over, and in the next second, Xiao Shu fell asleep on the big tree.

Bang! The bright red wild fruit in Xiao Shu's hand fell off from his hand and smashed on the head of the wild wolf under the tree in a free fall. There was a commotion among the wolves, and finally a tall and strong black wolf came out and swallowed the fragrant wild fruit. However, in the next second, the black wolf suddenly let out a long howl of pain from his back, and his body instantly turned blood-red, and then swelled into a blood-colored ball of flesh.

Boom! An earth-shattering bang was followed by a violent storm that swept out. This black wolf was naturally blown into the sky full of flesh and blood, and nearly twenty wild wolves within more than ten meters around it were all seriously affected. Naturally, there are no dead corpses at close range, and even those in the distance are bleeding, and they are actually shattered by the aftermath of the explosion, and they are also dead and can no longer die.

After the explosion, there was an eerie calm. And just then, that strange fog filled the forest again.
