For ordinary people, the Forest of Death was a forbidden area because there were all kinds of dangers hidden inside. If they were not careful, they would lose their lives.
But for Zhang Miao, this was his paradise, his hunting ground!
Especially the Gigantic Anaconda unique to the Forest of Death, Zhang Miao felt that this kind of animal could be called the best reserve ration!
Facing a giant monster that was several times his size, Zhang Miao was not afraid, but trembling with excitement.
"Yes, a giant snake like this should weigh at least a ton. After peeling off its skin and bones, I should be able to obtain several hundred pounds of meat. If I consume it sparingly, I will have enough food for a long time!"
Seemingly noticing Zhang Miao's unbridled gaze, the giant snake was immediately enraged. It hissed and opened its bloody mouth to pounce at Zhang Miao, ready to swallow the latter directly.
But in the next moment, its neck was grabbed by a big hand, and the person who held it was none other than Zhang Miao who used the Expansion Jutsu.
After using the Akimichi clan's secret technique, Zhang Miao, who was originally less than 1.5 meters tall, suddenly turned into a giant more than 25 meters tall, just like the titan in legends.
After grabbing the giant snake, Zhang Miao grabbed its neck with one hand and grabbed its head with the other. Then he gently twisted it.
"Crack!"
With this crisp sound, the giant snake that was still desperately twisting its body suddenly softened and soon became motionless.
Zhang Miao shook the giant snake in his hand a few times and confirmed that it was dead before throwing it to the ground and grinned.
"Because it's too big, it doesn't even have basic nerve reflex? That's good too, it saves me trouble!"
After saying that, Zhang Miao took out a butcher knife from the system space and began to deal with the giant snake in front of him quickly.
He first removed the skin, then cut the snake's body into two parts and used its spine as a boundary to cut off the meat on both sides of the body. Finally, he put the pile of meat into the system space.
The system space had the ability to preserve. No matter when it was put in, it would be the same as when it was just put in, so Zhang Miao utilized it as a food warehouse.
Zhang Miao's movements were very fast. In less than half an hour, he had dealt with the giant snake. Looking at the remaining snake skin, bones and internal organs on the ground, he suddenly grinned.
"This snake looks a bit thin. I didn't expect that it would still have meat after I peeled off its skin. Just one snake is enough for me to eat for half a month. Hm, not bad!
Just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him. He hurriedly looked back and found that it was another gigantic anaconda crawling out.
This anaconda was very large, even larger than the one he had just killed. At this time, it was baring its fangs and looking down at him.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao grinned again.
"Hehe, was it attracted by the smell of blood? This saves me a lot of trouble. Little snake, quickly come to my bowl!"
"Hiss... Roar..."
...
The harvest season was joyful and busy at the same time.
The smell of blood coming from Zhang Miao when he slaughtered the giant snake to other giant snakes in the Forest of Death flock like moths to a flame, and Zhang Miao naturally did not refuse this to happen.
As he slaughtered more giant snakes, the smell of blood became stronger, and then more snakes were attracted. The Animals he attracted were not only giant snakes, but also wolves, leopards, tigers, wild boars, and other edible animals.
Facing such an army of food, Zhang Miao naturally would not let this chance slide. He directly sent out dozens of wood clones to work together, turning all the living creatures in front of him into his rations and stuffed them into the system space.
Zhang Miao had been busy for the entire day. He even used a dozen of knives and finally filled most of the system's storage space.
Looking at the piles of animal bones and internal organs in front of him, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm, it's almost enough to eat for a year and a half. The rest of the space should be filled with fish and fruits. And.. hmm... There is also sugar, cigarette, and wine. After all, the Land of Wind is famous for its lack of supplies. I have to prepare more...
Just as Zhang Miao was thinking about what other supplies he should prepare, the system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.
"[Ding! Boss, please pay attention. Some of the Ninja Fragments in your possession have changed. Hyuga Hizashi's 5-star fragments have now turned into out-of-print fragments. From now on, it can not be obtained through ordinary means.]"
"Uh..." Hearing the system prompt, Zhang Miao was stunned.
"What's going on? How did Hizashi's ninja fragments suddenly become out-of-print fragments? Could it be that he is dead? How is this possible?"
Although he was reluctant to believe it, Zhang Miao was also very clear that the system couldn't lie, so he immediately frowned.
"No, I have to go back and take a look!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao immediately jumped onto the branch and then ran at full speed toward Konoha.
About two hours later, Zhang Miao returned to the village. After entering the village, he did not stay in other places but went straight to the Hyuga residence in the east part of the village.
When he arrived at the Hizashi's house, the courtyard was already full of people. Many of them were still wearing black robes and were whispering to each other, pitying the young Neji.
In the middle of the crowd, the four-year-old Neji was in his mourning clothes and cried with tears all over his face. His face was full of sadness and despair.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Zhang Miao suddenly widened his eyes, revealing a sense of disbelief.
"How could this be? I clearly prevented it! Why did all of this happen?"
Just as Zhang Miao was in a state of shock, he saw Neji suddenly run toward him and then jump into his arms, crying loudly.
"Waah... Brother Ryunosuke, Father... Father... My Father... The main family killed him... Waaah...."
Neji's crying woke up Zhang Miao, who was in shock. He took a deep breath and then nodded at him.
"I know. Your father has not been buried yet, right? I will see him one last time!"
According to Zhang Miao's idea, since the Hizashi was dead, it was too late to say anything now. For now, he could only think of a way to take his body away and see if it was possible to resurrect him in the future.
But what Zhang Miao did not expect was that just as his voice fell, Neji cried even more sadly.
"Sob... Father... My Father has already been taken away by them... Sob..."
"Taken away?"
Hearing Neji's words, Zhang Miao first frowned, then touched Nejis little head. "I know, Neji. Just you wait, I will bring your father back!"
With that, Zhang Miao disappeared from where he was with Body Flicker Jutsu.
