The dog's name is Little One.

The puppy, whose breed was hard to tell, was wagging its tail happily, with some rain water still on its body.

Ningji stood in the distance, wearing his outer coat, watching the three children discussing how to divide the small packet of soaked soldier pills.

There is no more food.

The focus of the battlefield has shifted. Those who deserve to die here will die, and those who are alive are not much better than them.

There has been no harvest for nearly a week.

"did you like it?"

Neji placed his hand on Konan's shoulder.

He asked in a low voice, his eyes not only looking at the puppy held in the girl's arms, but also at Nagato who was dividing the food pills into small portions.

"I think..."

Konan looked towards Neji hesitantly.

Look at the dog again.

His gaze moved around and landed on Nagato.

"You should like it."

Before Neji could ask Yahiko his question, the blond boy spoke first.

He grinned like the sun.

The sun is rarely seen in Rain Village.

“It’s too cold now!”

"Let's become... uh... penguins too!"

Sometimes Yahiko would pick up books from the ground and read the ones he recognized.

I don’t know where the boy learned the word penguin.

Hug together for warmth - hundreds of penguins hug together and move forward together to find hope for survival.

The word "penguin" doesn't seem to be applicable here, but fortunately Neji can still understand what Yahiko wants to express.

This side is a residential area, and Nagato was walking from the direction of the residential area.

When he got to this position, his hands were still empty - there were traces of beatings on his body.

In such a chaotic time, how could someone on the verge of starvation give away the only food they had?

Either he has some ulterior motive, or he is just a simple fool.

But there happen to be three such fools gathered here.

Neji had heard of the stories of Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato.

It's just that their fate was weak and their first meeting came at an inappropriate time.

The day we met, the situation was tense and war was inevitable.

The young master of a wealthy family could not understand Nagato, who was wearing the shell of a close friend, and shouted loudly:

"Know the pain!"

I can't understand the blue-haired woman who released thousands of explosive talismans and suffered the consequences.

They were not the same kind of people from the very beginning.

Born in different eras, growing up in different environments.

Just meeting is wonderful enough.

But he is here now.

As Nora is here.

Stray dogs and cats gathered together. They couldn't talk about everything, but the resonance in their hearts could not be stopped.

Just looking at Nagato, he couldn't help but think of the day when he stretched out his hands and received the stick.

It was just a little bit, insignificant, but at this moment, Hyuga Neji seemed to be able to understand some of Nagato's pain.

A feeling of empathy that came about by chance.

"Then go pack your things."

"Leave this place for those who come later."

Xiaonan paused for a moment while stroking the little one's hand. There was a gleam of crystal in her eyes, but it did not fall.

they are the same.

Girls always have this kind of understanding for no reason.

They are all people who have been let down by the world - including Nagato who he just met today.

For various reasons, they were let down by the world.

Wandering in this world, looking for my own place to live.

She is lucky.

Xiaonan thought.

The little guy under his hand raised his head and rubbed the girl's palm.

It is also lucky.

Before they were completely thrown into the abyss by the world, they met their "predecessors" who found a way to survive in troubled times.

The older Xiaonan gets, the more he understands.

She is the Nora of the past, and Nora is her who grasps the miracle and survives the miracle.

There are many Konans in the world, but few Nora.

Even fewer are willing to share their hard-earned possessions with the good people of the past.

"That..."

Konan raised her head and looked towards Nagato.

The dirty child was timid, just like myself who had just arrived here.

I am overwhelmed by kindness and have lost my direction. I am full of doubts about everything around me.

They are hedgehogs with thorns, but everything will be fine after that.

"From today on, we are a family."

The little one was put down by the girl. He ran and jumped in front of his owner, wagging his tail and licking his owner's cheek with his wet tongue.

A cobbled-together home supported by a "madman" that could break at any time.

But what's wrong with this?

They will always...always...walk together.

The sheltered children will one day stand up and use their broad shoulders to make this world a better place.

Half a bag of military ration pills soaked in water was their main luggage.

The rain was getting lighter and I could see the road ahead a little more clearly.

The four of them held umbrellas and stood in front of the wooden house. It was tattered and the roof would be blown off by heavy rain from time to time.

Xiaonan closed the door.

The wooden door was still shaking and looked like it would fall down at any moment.

The memories of the past four years flow by like flowing water.

Nora was not capable of delicate work or repairs, but whenever he could recognize himself, he would mend the house.

Although the techniques are not professional, Xiaonan was able to learn most of them.

Nora had only known people for a short time at the beginning, only a few minutes, so there was very little he could do.

Often he would finish something halfway before walking to the side in confusion, wandering around for a while, and then going out as if doing a routine.

Xiaonan would then take over the remaining work of Nora and finish it by imitating him - but some things were really beyond the ability of a child half the height of a man to complete. She could only wait until Nora was able to work again.

Then, Yahiko came.

The little flea jumps three feet high and can accomplish more and more work.

Although the wooden house was dilapidated, it lasted for four years thanks to the residents' persistent mending efforts.

"Please... bless those who come later."

They left behind the tattered bed.

The wooden bed cannot be taken away, and there is no need to take it away.

Konan was on the left, and Nagato and the dog were on Neji's right.

In front was Yahiko, scurrying up and down like a flea.

There's nothing to worry about.

Xiaonan was walking on the road and looked up at the person holding an umbrella.

No raincoat, no dry food, no gas mask...

The lack of the last item was undoubtedly fatal in the era of Salamander Hanzo.

But the girl walked firmly, her lips trembling as she asked the question calmly.

"Where are we going now?"

There's nothing to ask.

This was the route Yahiko had taken here, and he had told her about it many times.

This is the way to the main battle zone.

This is the path of unilateral slaughter by Hanzo of the Salamander.

This is a road where even a basic gas mask will not be effective.

"Who knows?"

Neji lowered his head and looked at Konan, smiling as if he was joking.

"Where do you want to go?"

The boy asked back, as if they could go to any place Xiaonan mentioned right now.

Xiaonan opened his eyes wide, seeming to be thinking.

“You can go anywhere...”

"But if I could...I'd like to go..."

"Not here, somewhere."

"A place that can tell me your name."

Nora is a ninja.

Xiaonan always thinks this way for some unknown reason.

It was obvious that Nora had never used any traditional "ninjutsu" in front of him.

Obviously no one knows Nora's true origins.

He is a madman, but not an unarmed madman.

Nora is the same as them, but he is definitely not from the Rain Village.

The only reason is that there is no bridge arch in Rain Village.

There was no surprise or amusement in Neji's eyes.

He nodded, holding the girl's hand and continued walking forward.

Xiaonan did arrive, in the near future.

"Then let's go." Yahiko turned around at this moment and listened to Neji's answer.

"Go wherever you want to go."

Yahiko took two or three steps to Nagato's side and hooked his wrist around his neck.

“I want to be a god!”

"Become the God of this world!"

He took a deep breath, as if he was really the god of this world.

"In that case, we can go anywhere we want even without Nora-nii-san's efforts."

"Hey, Nagato..."

The blond boy is shining:

"In that case..."

"There will be no more children like us in this world."

If Nora was like a gentle breeze, it lifted him up without leaving a trace.

Yahiko is the sun wrapped in the wind. Even though he knows he will get burned if he gets close, he can't help but get close.

He wanted to be Yahiko's strength.

With these eyes... which possess power close to that of God.

Holding his hand could barely be called warm, as they had only met for a short twenty-four hours.

But it brought too many unimaginable things to Nagato.

For example, he is alive and aware.
