Chapter 37

*Night*

I woke up feeling a little cold. I immediately realized that it was night and checked to see if the girl was feeling cold. She was not there. I quickly threw her to the back of my head as I ran to my house but as I opened the doors and expect the usual nagging from my mother. It felt as if a bucket of cold water was dropped to my head as I realized my house was destroyed and that my parents were dead.

Tears slowly dripped from my eyes as I stood in front of my house. It wasn't particularly late at night so there was still people out and the street lamps were still on but the people out were either drunkards or people who simply minded their business.

An uncountable amount time passed as the people who passed the crying child gradually decreased until there was none. At that moment the child raised both his hands slapped both his cheeks until they were swollen.

The child mumbled to himself like a crazy person before stopping and then started to wander the streets. The flame of the lamps on the streets were extinguished. The only places giving off light was the hokage building and a distant ramen stand.

Hizashi while still mumbling incoherent words to himself walked towards the direction of the distant ramen stand. To Hizashi, it was like the ramen stand gave him a beacon of hope. The closer he got to the ramen stand, the less he mumbled.

As Hizashi finally reached the ramen stand, he saw the disappearance if an orange shadow. In the counter, there was still stacks of bowls left behind. The ramen chief noticed Mukai and said "We're about close and have run out of most ingredients. Would you like to come back tomorrow" Mukai shook his head. So the ramen chief said "Well than let me see if I can cook so something up for you with what we have left." The man said while going behind the stand. The man' name was teuchi

After several minutes, the man came back to Mukai with a steaming bowl in his hand. "We only had enough ingredients to make shoyu (soy sauce) ramen and the only topping we have left are menma and Moyashi (Bean sprout). " Mukai just nodded. Mukai then opened the chopsticks and started eating the noodles.

…

5 minutes of vigorously eating the noodles.

The bowl was empty, no broth, no topping and no noodles were left inside the bowl. "That will be 160 ryo" Teuchi said. Mukai put his hands in his pocket and took all the money he had on him. Which was impossible as he had no money in his pocket. Luckily for Mukai he kept 1000 ryo in his inventory just in case for times like these. He gave the money and waited for the change.

Suddenly he was hit with a large smell of alcohol behind him. "Hey cutey~ How about you give big sister some of th blargh" Clearly the person behind him was dead drunk and was a female. She vomited on to the stool next to Mukai.

Mukai let out an expression of disgust as he finally saw the face of the person who was drunk. The woman was fairly tall looking and had a slender frame. It was too dark to distinguish her face, eyes and hair color but from the height and frame, it was easy to figure that she was between 18 to 25 years old.

Mukai quickly took his change and tried to run away. Teuchi just gave Mukai a look of pity as he looked as if he new this woman and clearly did not want to offend her. She smiled drunkenly at Mukai before chasing after him shouting Wait up gaki (brat/kid).

Around an alley she fainted and Mukai noticed it. His first thought was to leave her there but then he thought what would happen to a dead drunk fainted woman at this hour. Although he killed someone and is thinking about killing everyone in the village at the moment, that did not mean he still did not have some chivalry left.

Women are evil creatures, that was what he found out in his last lifetime and in this lifetime, it is clearly not disproving that women are deceptive, evil and frequently mood changing creatures, in other words, women are highly troublesome creatures bordering on extremely dangerous.

Mukai cautiously and silently went to the fainted woman and picked her up. 'Heavy woman. I wonder if all women are fat. God I don't want to know that.' Mukai felt as if she was heavy and could barely hold her and walk without falling.

Mukai did not where to go, his home was destroyed and he did not where she lived so the only thing he could do was go to a place where people would nit normally go. Mukai did not want to make her go to his personal training ground as it was his place know and no one should know about it. That place was his playground or his secret base.

Mukai and the woman on his back was slowly losing sight of the building behind them and was getting closer to the woods. Mukai was going to a place called the forest of death or otherwise known as training ground 44. He only remembered about that place as where the sasuke curse mark scene happened and that people rarely go their as it is known as a dangerous place.

There would be giant metal fences closing off the forest and a large metal gate as well as a small guard post there. Mukai was pretty sure the guard would not even notice them as staying there for so long without doing anything even if there was breaks, could make any sane person let their guard down. Especially to a child if he or she saw him.

…

Training Ground 44

I saw the small guard post. My arms felt numb carrying that woman and strangely enough that woman did not wake up no matter how much my hands trembled. I was quite excited to finally get some shut eye after all that has happened today.

Luckily for me there was no one at the guard post when I gently put the woman down to see if anyone was in there. If anyone saw me doing something like this and was a little bit older, they would think that I was gonna do something shady and if they saw the women they would think I was gonna rape her.

I merely shook my head in amusement at my thoughts
