Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Bai Yunqingye paused for a moment, looked over, and asked, "Would you like to try some?"

Uchiha Hikaru didn't speak, but you could tell from the way her throat moved.

That stall mainly sells three-colored meatballs.

Could this be a hobby ingrained in the genes of the Uchiha clan?

Otherwise, why would so many members of the Uchiha clan like to eat it?

However, when Shirokumo Aoba handed a box of three-colored dumplings to Uchiha Hikaru, she took a bite and her first reaction was to frown.

"So sweet!"

Shirokumo Aoba was somewhat surprised, so she picked one up and tasted it. It was very sweet, but much less sweet than what Uchiha Izumi made.

Is this your first time eating this?

"Ah."

Hikaru Uchiha nodded. "It seems that many members of the Uchiha clan used to enjoy eating this, but this is my first time trying it."

"It tastes much better than military rations."

As she spoke, she picked up another one and put it in her mouth.

"..."

Shirokumo Aoba looked at Uchiha Hikaru, who was eating like a little hamster, and his expression became somewhat complicated.

Uchiha Hikaru's experience was far more tragic than Naruto's in the original storyline.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch the other person's hair.

"Um?!"

Uchiha Hikaru quickly took a step back, looking at him warily.

However, he still didn't forget to stuff meatballs into his mouth.

Baiyun Qingye was amused by the other party's appearance.

"Let's go, there's still plenty of good food in Konoha. I'll take you to try some while I have time."

Chapter 692 Holding a soldier's ration pill in his hand, there wasn't a drop of oil in the dish.

"Hiccup~"

Shirakumo Aoba, who was originally planning to take Uchiha Hikaru to Ichiraku Ramen one last time to get out of the predicament, suddenly heard a sound that looked like an uncontrollable burp.

He looked curiously in the direction from which the sound came.

But all they saw was Uchiha Hikaru zipping his down jacket all the way up, hiding half of his face except for his slightly reddened earlobes.

However, judging from the slightly bulging cheeks, she was clearly still eating.

"If you can't eat anymore, don't force yourself."

Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but chuckle; after eating all the way, she was indeed quite full.

However, judging from this, Uchiha Hikaru's appetite is already quite large, but she is ultimately not a glutton like Hinata.

It's still within the normal range.

"good to eat."

Uchiha Hikaru's answer was concise and clear.

"If it's delicious, then come back to eat it again tomorrow."

Bai Yunqingye smiled and took the snacks from her hand, saying, "Eating too much at once is bad for your health."

Uchiha Hikaru watched with longing, but didn't know what to say, since these things were bought with other people's money.

He could only ask hesitantly.

Are you free tomorrow?

Baiyun Qingye thought for a moment. Right now, Tsunade was handling the affairs of the Land of Fire. If he skipped work again tomorrow, he would probably be eaten alive by Tsunade that night.

"I guess it's over, but when we get back I'll introduce you to some friends who are around the same age, and you can go out and play with them tomorrow."

"..."

Uchiha Hikaru pursed his lips but did not answer.

Although they had only spent half a day together, she could already tell that Bai Yun Qingye was a good person.

I bought her nice clothes and treated her to so many delicious meals.

As for having ulterior motives or something.

She has no money, no strength, and can't even beat the other party. She has nothing left. What could the other party possibly want from her?

Therefore, in Uchiha Hikaru's current view, Shirakumo Aoba is a very good person.

Those who live with Baiyun Qingye must be good people, right?

-

"You bastard, you brought another woman home again?!"

However, as soon as Shiraku Aoba brought her home, the first thing she faced was a flustered and irritated Yukito.

Uchiha Hikaru also immediately became alert.

He wanted to take out his kunai, but suddenly realized that she had changed her clothes and that Bai Yunqingye had put away everything she had been wearing.

This left her feeling somewhat lost.

She sensed a strong hostility from this woman who resembled Hakimi.

This person clearly wants to eat cream puffs.

"Lord Aoba is now a daimyo, so it's normal for him to bring back more women. Yugito, you're being too petty."

Qin has almost instinctively started criticizing Yugito.

This hasn't changed despite our heartfelt teamwork every night.

However, their teamwork was quite excellent.

Baiyun Qingye felt that perhaps Samui could teach the two of them the special techniques for using the Jue Niu Lei Li Hot Blade, which could improve their relationship.

While Yugito might also be able to do it, he certainly isn't as quick-witted as Samui in terms of creativity.

"Hmph! I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you, you're not even worthy to listen. Xiyan, if you don't keep an eye on this scumbag, the Thousand Hands Clan's territory will be overflowing with the women he brings back!"

Yugito didn't know how to refute it, so he could only turn to the other person in charge of the family, Uzuki Yugao, for help.

Heitu and Fu, who were watching the drama unfold, said: "Why does it seem like we're involved too?"

Uzuki Yugao's expression was also somewhat helpless. She glanced at Uchiha Hikaru, who seemed a little wary, and sensed that the other person probably had a story to tell as well.

After all, Baiyun Qingye couldn't just bring a girl back casually.

"Aoba, why don't you introduce yourself to us first?"

Seeing this, Shirokumo Aoba took the opportunity to introduce Uchiha Hikaru's identity to everyone.

When they first heard that the other party was from the Uchiha clan from hundreds of years ago, everyone showed expressions of great surprise.

But after hearing Baiyun Qingye's embellished account of her tragic life, they all fell silent.

What a life it is to be locked up in prison every day, holding only military rations, with not a drop of oil in the food.

Without loved ones and having lost their freedom, every day their tears turn into bitter tears.

When everyone looked at Uchiha Hikaru, they couldn't help but show various complicated expressions.

But Uchiha Hikaru herself was somewhat confused. Had she told Shirakumo Aoba about these things?

Besides, how could she possibly cry? She cries every single day.

Only when she was confused.

The outgoing and cheerful Fu rushed towards her with a tearful face.

"Xiao Guang, waaaah, don't worry, no one will bully you here anymore!"

Uchiha Hikari was startled when she was suddenly hugged, and she was also surprised that this guy was calling her Hikari so familiarly.

She instinctively pushed the other person away and then hid behind Bai Yunqingye.

To her, apart from Baiyun Qingye, all these people were strangers.

Her power is still sealed, and now she can only rely on Baiyun Qingye.

Fu blinked blankly after being suddenly pushed away.

Shirokumo Aoba almost laughed, and patiently explained to Uchiha Hikaru.

"Futa has a rather outgoing personality, and she was also treated as a weapon of war by the people in her village for a period of time when she was a child, so she feels your experience more deeply."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the wheat-colored girl in front of him with surprise, who had regained her sunny smile.

Did this guy actually have such an experience?

How can you still manage such a smile even after all this?

This time, Fu didn't lose her composure like before, nor did she care that the other person had pushed her away. She smiled and extended her hand again.

"Hi Xiaoguang, my name is Fu. Can we be friends?"

Being used as a weapon by the village and being viewed with suspicion by the villagers is a common experience for almost all Jinchūriki in their childhood.

However, Fu's natural personality, coupled with the care she received from Shibuki after becoming the village chief, changed her situation.

Uchiha Hikari, on the other hand, had been living in darkness for the past ten years and had been sealed away for hundreds of years before she met Shirakumo Aoba, who was willing to show her kindness.

Therefore, Fu truly felt sorry for Uchiha Hikaru from the bottom of her heart.

"..."

Uchiha Hikari hesitated. She could naturally sense that the other person meant her no harm, but friendship...

After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and grasped the other person's outstretched hand.
