Chapter 5: Chapter 05
When I open my eyes, I find the other three still fast asleep. I had no idea what time it was, because the rain only stops for a few hours and then starts again with full force, so it's almost impossible to determine whether it's dawn or dawn.
Chibi was lying down next to Konan, but I soon realized that he too was already awake. I played a little with the little one, since he was by far the most animated here, always wanting to play when he was well fed.
I ate two apples that were stored in a bag and soon started to do my series of abdominal crunches. As much as my body was not yet completely healthy and fit, I can still reach the goal in a few minutes.
Next I moved on to push-ups, this one was a bit grueling as my physical strength is not one of the best either, but my low weight also makes it a bit easier. Then I moved on to squats, this was by far the most complicated part, my legs and hips are not that strong yet and both muscles are underdeveloped, so it took a lot of effort to get to 100.
To finish, I moved a little further away closer to the cave entrance and started running in circles as fast as I could. It was not so difficult to run the 10km, as I took a short break every 500 meters, but it always took about an hour to reach the goal.
This has been my routine for the 9 days since I arrived here. I don't want to risk losing my five senses just by neglecting these exercises, that would be one of the worst tortures for me at this time...
After completing all the objectives, I returned inside the cave. Everyone was already awake and eating the fruit from the bags, it is essentially necessary that they be consumed before they rot.
— Have you been exercising again? Don't you get tired of doing that every day? — Yahiko asked, he couldn't understand why anyone would want to do all those ridiculous exercises every day after waking up.
— Yes, but I've already finished them. It's a necessary thing.

— Okay... We are running out of food and we need to steal some more. We'll be leaving soon! — replied Yahiko.
A few minutes later the four of us left the hiding place while remaining cautious so that no one would discover us. When we got close to the stall that would be our target, we quickly discussed a plan and went into action.
This stall had only a single saller, so we saw him as easy prey, even though he appeared to be a healthy adult male. While Nagato, Konan and Chibi distracted him, we sneaked around the back and grabbed two watermelons big enough to occupy our hands.
We did everything and as fast as we could and prepared to run, but we both bumped into something and were thrown to the ground by the impact. Another man, extremely similar to the salesman, was standing in front of us.
AH... — Yahiko gave a soft shout of pain.
The salesmen grabbed us by our clothes and took us to a nearby alley. They beat us with all their rage, not even giving us a chance to resist or escape. When they finally stopped beating us, they kicked us into a pile of garbage.
— Shameless children! Next time you won't come out with just that! — said one of the sellers, as they were slapping their palms together, as if they were cleaning up a mess. They left soon after.
Having a child's body really sucks! And I didn't even have any right to fight back, since we are the ones trying to steal their goods... — thought Hiro
— At least the chibi didn't get shot too... — Hiro said, as he helped Konan to her feet and checked her wounds. Fortunately, she seemed to be the least injured of the group.
*WOWOW*
It seems they felt sorry for her because she was the only girl in the group and maybe she was just being influenced by the others," Hiro thought as he petted the small dog.
Yahiko and Nagato's injuries seemed to be minor as well, as they were soon back on their feet. Hiro still had his Katana strapped to his waist, the vendors completely ignored it, as they thought it was a toy due to it being in the hands of a small children. Even if it was real, they wouldn't have many uses for it anyway.
After recovering sufficiently, they returned to their hiding place. As much as their attempt had been unsuccessful, they still had food for at least two days, they prepared themselves for this kind of situation, after all, it's not always that robberies are successful.
— Uhmmm — Konan groaned in pain, while Hiro rubbed some alcohol on her wound. It was necessary to sterilize as soon as possible to prevent an infection, since their hygiene was not as effective as in the modern times Hiro lived in.
— Calm down, it will stop hurting soon. — Hiro replied.
— B-But it's burning! — Konan replied, it seemed as if the burning wound would never go away, and the pain increased every time Hiro rubbed the cotton.
— Finish, now there's no chance of infection. — replied Hiro.
Nagato and Yahiko had also performed first aid on themselves. They had some small medical kits stored away for situations like this. Soon after Konan began to apply alcohol to Hiro's wounds, she tried to be a little meaner this time to get revenge, but unlike what she expected, Hiro didn't even sketch a different expression, as if he was already completely used to it.
— You are really strong, Hiro! Even me and Nagato kept complaining about the burning. — replied Yahiko, feeling slightly jealous of his companion's stamina.
This reminded him of the event of a few days ago, when he and Nagato tried to hold on to their sword, but barely managed to get it off the ground for a few minutes, but Hiro managed to carry it with him at all times. They admired Hiro a little more after that day and understood that his strength was much greater than theirs.
The boys obviously wondered where so much strength came from, and questioned Hiro, and he only answered:
— I training every day!
Nagato and Yahiko didn't believe it so much, but still accepted the answer. After all, they could see no other reason than this. They began to suspect that Hiro is a boy who was part of a strong clan in some ninja village, and has been training since he was a child.
— I'm not strong, you two that are sluggish. — replied Hiro, with a mocking face and tongue hanging out.
— What's up? -Yahiko was instantly annoyed. — I could be stronger than you if I wasn't such a training fanatic!
— I'm just a dedicated boy! I've asked you to train with me more than once, but you always ended up farting every time you tried harder than you could to keep up. — Hiro replied, with an embarrassed expression and a little laugh.
— You....! — Yahiko's face turned tomato red. He had made Hiro swear that he would never tell anyone about this, but he found out that he was nothing but a shameless liar!
— HAHAHAHA — Konan and Nagato laughed at their interaction and the mood quickly lightened. Now they had one more weapon to make fun of Yahiko.
