Chapter 5 - Filling the Stomach

After Ye Lan left the Anbu's gate, he had nothing to do. He was simply waiting for Ibiki to tell the Third Hokage about his situation. At the very least, the Third Hokage would arrange a place for him to stay.

He was now truly homeless, no different from a war orphan.

Ye Lan also thought about it; perhaps he would become a true member of Konohagakure in the future. The first thing he needed to do was continuously improve his strength.

"Grooooowl…"

A sound came, and Ye Lan could only laugh and shake his head. He touched his belly. Yes, he had been grabbed by the Anbu people as soon as he woke up that morning; he hadn't eaten a single bite, and Ibiki only knew how to interrogate him.

Ye Lan complained, "Don't the Anbu even give the prisoners food when they interrogate them?"

Ye Lan was starving.

He looked around, saying helplessly, "It seems I can only fend for myself now."

Ye Lan thought about this and examined his own body. After the system gave him the new skill, Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique), he felt some changes in his body.

Then, he imitated the characters in the Hokage series and closed his eyes to look inside his body. The moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly felt that his body contained a vast, azure river, like the ocean.

This river was mainly located in his lower abdomen, and there were countless branches around it, almost permeating his entire body.

Ye Lan was naturally surprised to see this, but he was even more delighted. He knew exactly what this azure river within him was—it was Chakra!

At first, he hadn't paid much attention when he found out from the system that he had infinite Chakra. Now, he was truly shocked!

Moreover, this Chakra belonged to him, and based on his previous experience watching the show, his total Chakra reserves were even greater than that of a Jonin in the Hokage world!

Ye Lan contentedly withdrew his inner vision…

He thought that even though he now had Chakra, he only knew one Ninjutsu, Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu. Furthermore, he hadn't learned any Taijutsu in his previous world. Now, if he were to fight someone, he could only spam this one Ninjutsu. If he missed, he'd just get beaten up…

Ye Lan shook his head…

It seemed he also needed to quickly increase his strength. After all, in the world of the Hokage, strength was truly everything!

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 overflowing with grand ambition!

Now that he had a goal, he had to devise a plan to achieve it!

And the first step in realizing his plan!

Was to fill his stomach...

Ye Lan was already so hungry that his stomach was practically stuck to his back.

He then wandered through the forest, hoping to find something edible.

However...

Ye Lan searched for a long time, but surprisingly, there wasn't even a single piece of game in the vast forest, only a few sparse wild vegetables.

Ye Lan smiled helplessly. "Food is the most important thing," he thought. It had been midday, and he still hadn't eaten.

He was just puzzled why in the world of Konohagakure, he could only learn Ninjutsu to strengthen his power. Why couldn't he be like those in the Cultivation World, who could use Magical Power to achieve a state of not needing to eat? If he could do that, he wouldn't have to eat in the future.
