Chapter 374: 374
Like in the original, the Village may be manipulated by them behind the scene .
Continuously advancing, Naito gradually entered a snow-covered area . However, the snowflakes were bouncing off his shoulders or hair before reaching him .
The color of the snow was a little whiter than Naito’s hair color .
Last time he visited the Land of Iron, Naito encountered a similar scene, but at that time, Naito was in a rush . He had to deal with the Five Kage meeting; thus, he didn’t have time to enjoy the snow .
Naito didn’t want to speed up and cross the whole distance in a moment, he felt completely relaxed watching this scene; thus, he used his Ultra Perception to sense the snow for miles, which made the vision in his mind extremely clear .
He could sense every snowflake falling on the ground, which made him appreciate the god’s word on making this beautiful scene .
Wandering around in his perception, Naito reached the end of his perception range and saw a small town .
This town wasn’t on the road that Naito was traveling on . This town was in a different direction, so he just ignored it and moved on .
But when the small town got fully included in his perception, Naito suddenly widened his eyes, revealing an incredible look!
…… .
In that small town, a child, about five or six years old, was sitting quietly in the snow on the side of the street .
The shirt on his body was very thin and worn . Apparently, he was a homeless orphan, begging for food in this cold weather, but the civilians were passing by totally ignoring him .
Although he looked a little dirty, he looked like a healthy kid . On a second look, he doesn’t look like a kid, but a bit more like a girl .
Even in this cold weather, he didn’t seem like he was cold, yet he was trembling .
He was just hungry .
Begging in such terrible weather was a difficult task in itself .
The snow didn’t take away the heat in his body, but the hunger he was feeling in his stomach was weakening him, taking the heat out of his body gradually; he was dying from starvation .
Just then, a piece of bread suddenly fell into the bowl in front of him .
His eyes sparkled; although his body was too weak, he immediately raised his head and looked at the man who gave him the food .

“Thanks… Thanks . ”
Although he was dying from hunger and wanted to eat that bread, he still showed his gratitude first and said thank you .
The figure in front of him was wearing a white cloak and had a snow-colored hair, he looked as if he was completely integrated with the snow .
After he thanked him, he took the bread then started eating it .
Naito looked at the boy in front of him, with an inexplicable color flashing in his eyes . It wasn’t completely out of pity, Naito actually knew the little kid .
The weather shouldn’t be bothering this kid because of his bloodline limit that it’s related to ice .
His situation, his bloodline limit, his age, the timeline, the place were all related to that kid, Hakuu .
Looking at Haku barely having the strength to eat that bread, Naito felt sad for the kid .
Haku, who was from the Yuki Clan, can be said that he was born with higher standards than ordinary people . After all, the Yuki Clan, had a strong Bloodline Limit, but not everyone could awaken it, just like the Uchiha Clan, not everyone, eventually awaken their Sharingan .

However, unlike the Land of Fire, where a bloodline limit is regarded as an excellent talent, the Land of Water, considered it as a cursed unknown power .
In the Village Hakuu was born in, the villagers hated that power, and were afraid of it . Haku’s mother had the same bloodline limit but kept as a secret even from her husband . However, when they knew about Haku, his father led the villagers to kill his mother . And just before they murdered Haku, he accidentally used his power and killed everyone .
Haku has been an orphan since then, wandering around the Land of Water .
Because of that accident, Haku grew afraid of his talent . Just like the villagers who got killed by him, he regarded this power as a curse .
Kimimaro was just afraid and has no goals, just like Haku . They’re innocent people who would have lived a different life if they didn’t encounter people like Zabuza and Orochimaru .
Naito didn’t expect to meet him in this town .
“what’s your name?”
Naito stood there quietly, looking at the boy who had finished eating his bread and asked softly .
“Haku…”

The boy’s answer didn’t surprise Naito . After all, there weren’t a lot of people in this world who have awakened the Ice Release and were of the same age as Haku .
Haku didn’t want to make eye contact with Naito . He didn’t know why Naito stayed here . Even when people gave him something to eat, they couldn’t bear looking at his face and left immediately . They didn’t care about him at all .
Haku, who finished eating the bread that Naito has given him, couldn’t help but ask weakly when he noticed that Naito didn’t leave yet .
“Is there anything I can do for you, mister?”
Naito smiled and said: “I want you to follow me . ”
After that, Naito turned around and walked out of the town .
Haku froze there, shocked; he kept looking at Naito’s back, getting far and far away .
It was not until he completely disappeared into the vast snow that he finally woke up, struggling a bit, he stood up, and run to the direction that Naito has taken .
Someone has actually needed him in this world, a world that he felt like he didn’t have a place in it . It seemed as if a ray of light has appeared in this dark world, and he couldn’t help but to desperately grasp into it .
