Filling His Stomach

After leaving the Anbu headquarters, Ye Lan had nothing to do. He could only wait for Ibiki to tell the Third Hokage about him. That way, the Third Hokage would at least arrange somewhere for him to live.

After all, he was truly homeless now. In reality, he was no different from a war orphan.

Ye Lan thought about it too. Perhaps he would become a genuine member of Konoha from now on. The first thing he needed to do was continuously improve his strength.

"Grr~"

Hearing the sound, Ye Lan could neither laugh nor cry as he rubbed his stomach. Right, he had been dragged here by the Anbu the moment he woke up that morning. He had not even had a single bite to eat, and Ibiki had only known how to interrogate him.

Ye Lan complained rather bitterly, "Do Anbu not offer food when they interrogate prisoners?"

Ye Lan was truly starving now.

He looked around and said helplessly, "Looks like I can only rely on myself now."

Thinking of this, Ye Lan examined his body. After the system had given him the new skill Fire Dragon Flame Bullet, he had sensed that his body had changed somewhat.

Then he directly imitated the characters from Naruto, closing his eyes and looking inward at his body. The moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly sensed a deep-blue river within him, as vast as the sea.

The river was mainly located in his lower abdomen, with countless branches surrounding it. Those branches almost ran through his entire body.

Ye Lan was naturally astonished by this sight, but he was even more delighted. He knew perfectly well what this deep-blue river inside him was. Wasn't it Chakra?

When he had first learned from the system that he possessed unlimited Chakra, he had not paid much attention to it. Now that he saw it for himself, he was truly shocked!

And this Chakra belonged to him. Based on his past experience watching the show, his total Chakra reserves even exceeded those of Jonin in Naruto!

Ye Lan withdrew his inner gaze with satisfaction...

Although I have Chakra now, I only know one Ninjutsu, Fire Dragon Flame Bullet. I never learned taijutsu in my previous world either. If I had to fight someone now, I could only spam this one Ninjutsu. If I missed, I'd have no choice but to get beaten senseless...

Ye Lan shook his head...

It seemed he had to increase his strength quickly as well. After all, in Naruto World, strength was what truly mattered!

He had to grow step by step! Only by standing at the top of the pyramid would he have the right to look down on others!

Ye Lan's heart was filled with boundless ambition!

Since he had a goal, he had to find a way to carry out his grand plan!

And the first step of that plan!

Was to fill his stomach first...

Ye Lan was so hungry that his chest was practically sticking to his back.

Then he wandered through the forest, hoping to find something edible.

However...

After wandering around for a long time, Ye Lan discovered that there was not even a trace of game in the vast forest. There were only a few sparse wild vegetables.

Ye Lan smiled helplessly. People were made of iron, food was made of steel; miss one meal and hunger would strike. Besides, it was already noon, and he had not eaten anything yet.

Still, Ye Lan could not help feeling conflicted. In Naruto World, he could only learn all kinds of Ninjutsu to become stronger. Why could he not be like those cultivation worlds, where people could use all sorts of awesome magical powers to go without food? If he could avoid eating, that would mean he would never have to eat again.
