After wandering for what feels like forever, I spot the silhouette of a village in the distance and quicken my pace. In my mind, I'm already imagining how the villagers will welcome me, tired and exhausted, and treat me with their food. But as I get closer, my dreams shatter—the village is in ruins. Roofs collapsed, doors and windows shattered, as if a massive storm had ravaged the place. I don't lose hope and start shouting: "Is anyone here?!" No response. The village shows no signs of life. Urgently, I create my clones and start exploring. I still hope to find someone, or at least some food to lift my spirits. I've never been this hungry, not even when Kakashi tied me to a log and made me stay hungry all day. What would Sasuke do in my place? Unlike me, he's always lucky. But here I am, in this cursed place where giant cannibals want to eat me. Now, even this seemingly safe village is completely destroyed, and worst of all, there's no ramen. After a long search, I find some food and warm clothes. The sun has set, so continuing the journey is pointless. I pick the tallest building and camp on its top floor. An eerie silence surrounds me; none of the familiar sounds of a lively village, no animals or insects disturb the night. Everything feels strange and hard to bear. Loneliness doesn't bother me much; I'm used to it. I've spent many nights alone with the moon, in silence and deep thought. I remain lost in these thoughts until dawn. Restless, I resume my journey at first light. Soon, the silence is broken by the sound of a nearby river. I quickly run down and kneel to drink. After catching my breath, I survey the area and spot a monster approaching. I have no choice: either swim across the river or fight. Such is the way of the ninja; retreat is not an option. It's time to fight! Using shadow clones, I surround the monster and attack. Its skin is like armor; I can't even scratch it. After a long battle, I realize I'm wasting chakra and retreat. Crossing the river is tough, but I manage and hurry away. I hope to find someone who can explain where I am, what this place is, and what these creatures are. Lost in thought, I hear a woman's desperate scream. Instinctively, I rush towards the sound, coming from behind a nearby hill. I quickly climb and see a horrifying scene: cannibals have cornered a woman. I immediately summon shadow clones and rush down the hill, but it's too late. One of the cannibals, with long black hair and a terrifying jaw, grabs the woman and devours her. I can't do anything in time; she's torn apart and swallowed. Anger engulfs me; I feel the nine-tailed fox trying to break free. I'm burning with rage when out of nowhere, a short, large-headed, and long-nosed monster appears. It attacks the cannibals with incredible speed, tearing their necks out one by one. It destroys them all in succession. Before I can comprehend what's happening, the creature grabs me and speeds away..........
