In the dim alleyway, a sturdy man with a backpack full of herbs hurried home, his face etched with determination. "Little Child is home alone; I hope nothing bad has happened..."
But just then, "Bang!"
A strange noise suddenly came from the trash can in the corner. The man paused, unconsciously taking a couple of steps forward, but soon...
He frowned and slowly walked back.
Finally, someone came!
In his hazy consciousness, Ren Aoi seemed to hear steady footsteps approaching him. A pair of warm, large hands gently picked him up...
"This child... he looks a lot like my boy..."
The man's hands were warm, and his voice was like a fireplace in winter, making people feel safe.
"Escape the Trash Can Task Complete. Please claim the task reward."
The system's voice was still emotionless, as if it didn't care about Ren Aoi's life or death.
However, he had finally survived!
Ren Aoi smiled wryly and closed his eyes in relief...
As if seeing Ren Aoi's smile, the man holding him couldn't help but smile himself, cradling Ren Aoi in his arms. "Don't worry, I, Might Duy, swear in the name of youth that I will make sure you live!"
With that, the watermelon-headed man named Might Duy. laughed heartily and left, the Konoha forehead protector on his forehead shining brightly...
Wherever leaves dance, the Will of Fire will never cease to burn.
A huge spider hung on the stained, mottled ceiling, weaving its web back and forth, its posture extremely arrogant...
"Have I been rescued?"
Ren Aoi slowly opened his eyes, trying to turn his head and survey his surroundings.
Under the dilapidated ceiling, in an empty Japanese-style room, there was no furniture except for a wooden plank bed. This was truly an impoverished home...
After looking at the furnishings, Ren Aoi noticed that there was another baby lying next to him, about the same age as himself. A blank watermelon head, a chubby face, ugly and cute...
Besides this baby, there was also a strong, middle-aged man in the room. The middle-aged man was dressed like a farmer, but the comical watermelon head made him seem more lively. The man was holding a basket of what looked like herbs, carefully sorting through them...
At first glance, this watermelon-headed man gave Ren Aoi a sense of familiarity. However, this familiarity was mixed with a strange sense of unfamiliarity...
In short, Ren Aoi seemed to recognize him, but he was also sure that he had never met him before.
"What a strange feeling..."
Ren Aoi shook his head, not making a sound. Before he understood the situation, he didn't want to show any unusual behavior beyond that of a baby.
Ren Aoi gently closed his eyes again...
"Newbie Task: Escape the Trash Can (Completed)!"
"Kunai Throwing (Beginner): Available to Claim."
"Claim!"
After confirming the claim, a skill bar suddenly appeared in Ren Aoi's mind.
Kunai Throwing (Beginner)
At the same time, a sudden warm current poured out of Ren Aoi's hands. This warm current slowly flowed from the tips of his fingers to his whole body. Ren Aoi could feel that this warm current seemed to be strengthening his physique, but as it flowed, it slowly became thinner.
When this warm current reached his feet, it had become barely perceptible... Obviously, this warm current mainly strengthened his hands!
When the warm current completely disappeared, Ren Aoi slowly opened his eyes and involuntarily reached out to grab the wooden bedpost next to him.
"Creak, creak, creak..."
Wood chips cracked and crumbled under Ren Aoi's grip, making a teeth-aching sound.
Gently releasing his hand, Ren Aoi looked at the clearly visible small handprint on the solid wood bedpost next to him and grinned. "It seems that even in this Naruto world, my strength is already far beyond that of an ordinary two-year-old child..."
