Raizel took a slight breath and kicked towards the stake. His kicking speed is not fast, or even slow. This is not because he is tired or physically injured, but when he is practicing, his body is under the full range of gravity that his body can withstand.

"One, two, three... forty..... fifty, fifty-one..."

In a short while, Raizel sweats like rain, and his speed of kicking slowed down a lot. In the ankle area, pain, soreness, swelling, and other symptoms gradually formed.

However, he did not stop but clenched his teeth.

"To think the sealing tag that I found in the garbage bin helped so much", The boy muttered, "After this, let do the meditation and then the chakra control training"

...

He doesn't know how long it took, Raizel opened his eyes from the meditation state. Seeing that the sky was completely dark, he was going back to rest.

He saw a snake on a tree not far away, quietly approaching a bird's nest. The mother bird, who was opening her mouth and feeding her child the food she had hunted only recently, did not seem to notice the danger.

Several of its chicks also did not notice that a dangerous predator was approaching, constantly fighting for the little food in the mother's mouth...

Getting closer, the predator couldn't help but spit out his tongue and was about to deliver a fatal blow at any time. Its target was the mother bird.

Raizel glanced at the snake without emotions, he raised his hand, took out two kunai from his hostler, and waved it sideways.

Two kunai tear through the winds in a quick manner.

The snake that was preying and the mother bird who was feeding immediately felt the danger coming. The snake hissed and the mother bird's feathers stood upside down...

But when they wanted to see the source of the crisis clearly, their bodies were out of control and smashed crazily to the trunk...

chirp

hiss

The snake and the bird got trapped in between the tree trunk and the Kunai without knowing anything, there was no room for struggle.

Raizel ignored their chirping of the cubs, squatted down and picked up the mother bird, then killed it with a twist of its neck, and then used the same rough method to deal with the snake.

As for the few cubs, they did not escape the fate of death either, These things were going to be his dinner today.

Grabbing the prey in his hands, Raizel got up and walked towards the top of the mountain. Above this forest, there is a natural hot spring, the place is not big, at most it can only accommodate 2 to 3 people at the same time.

...

After a day of training, after taking a bath and once again wearing the worn-out mourning dress, Raizel walked onto the village streets again.

Unlike morning, although many shops in Konoha have closed at night, shops like some pubs have a steady stream of customers.

Therefore, even at night, there is no so-called loneliness in this village, and it is still very prosperous. To avoid being pointed, Raizel turned directly into the alley after entering the street.

Soon after, he entered the not as prosperous street, there are no lights, it's dark and sloppy, and there are cockroaches and mice everywhere around the garbage barrels.

Occasionally, someone could hear the barking of wild dogs and wild cats.

Raizel didn't care and just kept moving forward

"Hic"

"Hic"

As he continues his walk, there was a sudden stray dog ​​barking and crying at some little girl.

Raizel takes a closer look and found a little girl squatting in the corner shivering, and in front of her, there were a few stray dogs barking mouthfuls.

Looking at the little girl who had been scared to cry, what Raizel noticed was not her situation, but her eyes. It was unnatural, it was red.

...

Kurenai Yuhi was scared. She originally came out to play with her friend Anko. They are in the same class in the first grade of Ninja Academy.

Compared with her peers, she has not much time to play, because her father has been urging her to practice chakra and how to become a good ninja.

When she was coming out from Anko's house, she deliberately took a less crowded road.

However, there were too many people on the street, and she didn't know when but she entered the alley. When she came back to her senses, she was already surrounded by several wild dogs that were as evil as wolves.

She wanted to resist but found that she was trembling all over, and she couldn't do anything except cry.

Looking at the wild dogs getting closer and closer, she could only hold her head with her hands, crying, desperate, praying that someone would show up in time and save her.

She looked up to see a young boy in dark, not too far away.

The sudden appearance ignited hope in the desperation of Kurenai Yuhi.

The little boy was wearing a shabby black mourning robe. Probably coming from a funeral.

Raizel chose to ignore the girl. But to his luck, at this time, several wild dogs also found him, they growled at him, but after a single look from him, the wild dogs lost their courage and after a few whimpers, they began to back up, and then quickly left the scene. They ran away in fear.

Raizel retracted his gaze, ignoring the wild dogs, and the black hair, and continued to walk home.

"...Can you take me home?"

Seeing that he didn't want to pay attention to her at all, Kurenai Yuhi looked around and summoned the courage to speak.

Raizel paused, then looked back and continued to walk forward, he did not care about the girl.

"Please?"

Raizel didn't stop but kept moving. Seeing her chances are better with him, Kurenai got up quickly, kept a certain distance, and carefully followed Raizel.

Watching the girl following him, Raizel grumbled but eventually decided to turn around and look straight at her red eyes.

"Where do you live?"

"Ah? I- I mean. I live at...", She told him her address and he nodded before changing his directions.

She does not know how long it took, Kurenai realized that the surrounding environment became more and more similar to what she remembered. She knew that she was not far from home.

After walking for a while, she was able to recognize the way, with a smile on her face, she couldn't help but trot. That's right, this is her home, and the shabby-looking boy brought her back..!!

When she came to the gate of her house, she saw her mom walking sideways in tension. Her father was not there, probably gone to search for her.

Kurenai had tears in her eyes. Turning her head and looking, she found that the boy who brought her back had already turned back and was about to leave.

"Can you tell me your name?"

Raizel ignored her and continued to move forward.

Seeing this, she hurriedly ran a few steps in his direction and said loudly, "My name is Yuhi Kurenai, you look the same age as me... do you go to the academ... y"

Her voice buried down when she saw him not stopping even once.

She watched the little boy in front of her merge into the night, like a wolf before disappearing.
