Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　Yahiko laughed and said to Ye Chen, "My name is Yahiko, and this is Konan."

　Ye Chen!

　Ye Chen didn't hide it, nor did he care what problems his name might cause.

　It hasn't reached the point where ordinary people in the Land of Rain would know about it.

　We're partners now, come with me to see our base. Yahiko said generously.

　Said.

　He patted Ye Chen on the shoulder casually, then led the way.

　Ye Chen felt slightly uncomfortable looking at Yahiko like this.

　Because of the image he was used to in his memory, he still became Pain.

　That perpetually indifferent and calm face uttered the sassy line, "Carry a bag of rice up several flights of stairs, it's so spicy it'll stun you."

　And then, in an instant, he blew up the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

　Xiao Nan nodded slightly to Ye Chen, and then walked forward with him.

　Soon, Ye Chen followed Konan Yahiko to an abandoned cave.

　This place is piled high with supplies stolen from 097, including food, clothing, and so on.

　These are all daily necessities.

　Ye Chen watched the scene with great interest. Their family background wasn't bad; they weren't exactly destitute.

　White, nothing at all.

　This shows that Yahiko's personal abilities are indeed outstanding.

　This is our home. From now on, the three of us will depend on each other. As long as I have food to eat...

　"Yes, you will never go hungry, Xiao Nan, Ye Chen."

　Yahiko said magnanimously, then handed half an apple, which he had picked up from somewhere, to Ye Chen.

　,road:

　"It's still fresh, here you can have some!"

　After saying that, Yahiko looked at the apple with reluctance. In their Land of Rain, apples and similar fruits were...

　These are things only the rich can enjoy; the poor can forget about them.

　However, to celebrate the recent addition of Ye Chen, he was still willing to reluctantly part with him.

　Looking at the half-eaten apple, although it was indeed fresh, he just couldn't bring himself to eat it.

　She returned it to Yahiko, saying, "I'm not hungry, you should keep it and eat it!"

　When Yahiko heard that Ye Chen wasn't eating, he instinctively took the half-eaten apple back. But after taking it...

　Suddenly realizing she might have been too excited and lacked restraint, she felt embarrassed.

　baf scratched his head.

　Xiao Nan stood to the side with a smile, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

　She seems happy, perhaps she's not pursuing...

　(1/4)

　Many people just want enough to eat and wear, and hope for a peaceful life.

　Everything is fine.

　To cover his embarrassment, Yahiko pretended to be experienced and stood on a crooked stool.

　He began to describe his grand plan in a rambling, lecture-like manner:

　"The first thing we need to do is to stockpile what needs to be stockpiled; we must stockpile it, because we..."

　There's no telling when we might run out of food.

　Also, be careful when stealing; there are some people you absolutely should never steal from, such as...

　They're ninjas with metal plates on their heads. Those guys are terrifying; if you mess with them...

　They'll probably kill him right away!

　At this point, Yahiko revealed a look of lingering fear and apprehension, as if he had witnessed something similar.

　Scenes of ninjas killing people.

　Xiao Nan, standing to the side, fell silent instantly, her expression somewhat somber.

　Her town was almost completely destroyed in the war, and her parents died as a result.

　As a result, she became an orphan and was displaced.

　"As for stealing food, that's something you do only when you have no other choice, and even then, you have to do it within..."

　In crowded and conspicuous places, plan your escape route in advance and have backup plans! This is the most important point.

　"Don't provoke ninjas, because you really could die."

　You need to speak fluently and passionately, truly befitting the future spiritual leader of the Akatsuki.

　He has an exceptional demeanor.

　However, Ye Chen listened with little interest, because he had heard this kind of speech many times in Konoha.

　That old geezer from the third generation loves to spout these nonsense ideas, and ironically, they actually make a lot of sense.

　People feel their blood boiling.

　Ye Chen couldn't help but doze off, enjoying a rare moment of peace!

　After he finished speaking, Yahiko noticed that Yoruichi was already dozing off, as if he hadn't heard a single word.

　He was immediately speechless, and a look of utter exasperation crossed his face.

　He couldn't help but jump down and shake Ye Chen's shoulder forcefully:

　"Hey! Are you even listening?! Don't blame me if you die!"

　Yoruichi, Yahiko is right. Those ninjas are absolutely not someone we can afford to mess with.

　Remember this.

　Xiao Nan couldn't help but whisper to Ye Chen, "Even if you get caught stealing, the worst you'll get is a beating."

　He paused, and got a minor injury.

　But if we offend those ninjas, we'll definitely be in big trouble. We have no chance against them at all.

　The power to resist only leads to being slaughtered.

　Looking at the two people who were concerned about him, Ye Chen said, "If I said I was a ninja, would you believe me?"

　??"

　Both Yahiko and Konan were taken aback by Ye Chen's words.

　Then, Yahiko couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then said with a big laugh, "Haha, no..."

　Wrong, I'm not pretending anymore. I'll lay my cards on the table. I'm actually a ninja, and a Jonin at that!

　Xiao Nan couldn't help but chuckle, a sweet smile spreading across her face as she said longingly:

　(2/4)

　Being a ninja wouldn't be bad; at least I could protect myself.

　Upon hearing this, Ye Chen looked at Xiao Nan and said, "Do you really want to release the ninjas, Xiao Nan?"

　"I'm just a commoner? There's no hope for me." Xiao Nan looked dejected.

　"Yeah, if only I could learn ninjutsu! I would definitely beat those rich and heartless bastards to a pulp," Yahiko said fiercely.

　"Learn ninjutsu, huh?" Ye Chen silently noted down their words.

　As darkness fell, the rain continued to fall, and it was unclear when it would stop.

　A seven-man Sand Ninja squad was walking along a secluded path.

　The leading ninja looked at the sky, pondered for a moment, and said: "It's getting late, let's not..."

　Let's go, to avoid being ambushed by the Rain Ninja, and search the vicinity for a place to stay temporarily. If...

　If all else fails, use earth magic to build a temporary foothold.

　The group searched everywhere!

　Soon, a Sand Ninja returned and said: "Captain, we've spotted a small abandoned site not far ahead."

　The abandoned cave can serve as a temporary shelter.

　“Let’s go together then,” said Sand Ninja Captain Sajiro.

　Inside the cave.

　Yoruichi, Yahiko, and Konan were warming themselves by the fire.
