Although it was strange that there was an extra person, seeing that Uya and Konan were about the same age, they immediately regarded Uya as an accomplice.
"Oh no! Run!!"
Yahiko's expression changed instantly, and he called to Konan to make a run for it.
Konan was a little taken aback and instinctively wanted to follow, but then she immediately thought of Uya.
"Come with me now!"
Although Uya wasn't part of her group, she was clearly being treated as one now. If she abandoned Uya, and Uya couldn't explain himself, she might get a beating.
Konan didn't care about anything else; with her kind heart, she grabbed Uya's arm and pulled Uya forward.
Uya's expression was a little strange, but he didn't say anything. After letting Konan pull him along for a few steps, he took the initiative to catch up with her.
The three squeezed through the bustling city, quickly shaking off their pursuers and running out of the town.
"Huff, huff..."
After running out of the town, Yahiko bent over, panting heavily.
Konan, standing to the side, was similar, though she appeared a bit more reserved.
As for Uya, he didn't seem to be catching his breath at all; his eyes were constantly flashing as he looked at the two of them.
After catching his breath for a while, Yahiko realized that Uya seemed completely unaffected, and he showed a surprised expression.
He circled Uya once, then couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "You've got amazing stamina! You didn't even feel a thing after running all this way."
" Yahiko..."
Konan looked at Uya with an embarrassed expression and said, "I'm so sorry, I've dragged you into this."
"It doesn't matter."
Uya smiled slightly, then handed over the long loaf of bread, saying, "This..."
"Uh, you've been running with us all this way, so..."
"Hey, Konan, just take it. They obviously don't need these things!" Yahiko pouted at Konan.
Konan looked at Uya shyly, but finally accepted it.
"I'm so sorry, we're all orphans. Surviving in this world is already difficult enough; this is the only way we can..."
I'm an orphan too.
Hearing Konan's words, Uya suddenly spoke softly.
At the same time, Uya's expression also revealed a slight loneliness, as he still did not know who his parents were in this world.
I only have some very vague memories, and they are mostly fragmented.
Konan was clearly surprised when Uya said that, and looked at Uya in astonishment.
However, she noticed that Uya's clothes, like hers, were somewhat worn and damaged.
Judging from Uya's expression, there was no doubt that Uya was telling the truth.
"Oh?! You're an orphan too?" Yahiko looked at Uya with surprise and said, "But you don't look pale and thin at all, and your stamina is so good..."
At this point, Yahiko's eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled, saying, "Um, how about joining forces with us?"
With such good stamina, Uya is clearly not a burden. If Uya helps out, life might become much better.
Uya instinctively wanted to refuse.
However, seeing Konan beside him and thinking of Nagato, an extremely important figure, Uya's eyes flickered slightly, and he had another idea.
"Can."
"Very good!"
Yahiko laughed and greeted Uya, "My name is Yahiko, and this is Konan."
" Uya."
Uya didn't care what problems his name might cause; his name wasn't yet at the level that ordinary people in the Land of Rain would know about it.
"Well, we're partners now. Come on, let's go see our base."
Yahiko patted Uya on the shoulder in a casual manner, and then led the way.
Uya felt slightly uncomfortable looking at Yahiko like this.
Because of his accustomed image, he still became Deva Path Pain, with that eternally indifferent and calm face.
Konan nodded slightly to Uya, and then walked forward with Uya.
Soon, Uya followed Konan Yahiko into a cave.
This place is piled with stolen supplies, including food and clothing, which are basically daily necessities.
Uya watched the scene with great interest.
"How is it? Pretty good, right?"
Yahiko sat down at a wooden table and grinned at Uya.
Uya simply shrugged.
"By the way, what about you?"
Thinking of Uya's stamina, he should have some reserves, Yahiko asked Uya.
Uya shook his head and said, "I have nothing."
"Okay... that won't do."
Yahiko gave a helpless look, then jumped off the table and looked at Uya with a serious expression.
"Although you have good stamina and strength, and can probably get food anytime, what if the war gets here one day?"
"So, you definitely need to stock up on the necessary items. It seems you have absolutely no idea how to survive in this world."
Yahiko grabbed an apple, took a bite, and then began to explain, much like a teacher.
Konan stood to the side with a smile.
"First and foremost, we must stockpile essential supplies, because we have no idea when we might run out of food."
"Also, be careful when stealing. There are some people you absolutely cannot steal from, such as ninjas who wear metal plates on their heads."
"Those guys are terrifying. If you mess with them, they could kill you on the spot!"
At this point, Yahiko revealed a lingering fear in his expression, as if he had witnessed ninjas killing people.
Konan, standing to the side, fell silent instantly, her expression somewhat somber.
Her town was almost completely destroyed in the war, and she became an orphan as a result.
"As for robbing, you can only rob the shops, and you need to find a good escape route, but I don't recommend doing that."
"After all, it would be troublesome if you got caught, but... with your stamina, you probably won't get caught."
Yahiko grinned at Uya, still quite envious of Uya's stamina.
"In short, there's only one important thing: whatever you do, never mess with those ninjas!"
"Ordinary people like us are like ants in their eyes; they can kill us without even blinking an eye."
After saying a lot, Yahiko realized that Uya didn't seem to have listened to a word, and he was immediately exasperated, showing a pained expression.
He shook Uya's shoulder forcefully.
"Hey! Are you even listening?! Don't blame me if you die!"
" Uya, Yahiko is right. Those ninjas are absolutely not someone we can afford to mess with. You must remember that."
Konan couldn't help but whisper to Uya, "Even if we get caught stealing, we'll only get a beating at most, but if we offend those ninjas, we'll be in real trouble. We simply don't have the power to fight them."
"Actually... I'm a ninja too..."
