To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Uchiha Shigeka was taller than the little girl. He looked down at her, and the amiable fox mask inexplicably gave her a strong sense of oppression.

The little girl was a little nervous, her voice still so small, she mustered up the courage to look up and said to Uchiha Shigeka: "I... I haven't thanked you yet..."

"Thank you, thank you for the food."

"Just for this?"

Uchiha Shigeka asked.

The little girl nodded quickly.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person? Buying you food means I expect you to follow me, and then..."

Uchiha Shigeka suddenly smiled sinisterly.

"Ah?" The little girl's face turned pale in an instant.

Was her feeling wrong? Was the other person really a bad guy? Was she walking into a trap by chasing him now?

Uchiha Shigeka saw that the little girl wanted to run away, and quickly said: "Okay, okay, I was just teasing you just now, I'm not a bad person... Uh, this doesn't sound right."

"Anyway, you came here to thank me, right? I received your thanks."

Uchiha Shigeka squatted down, looked directly at the little girl, and asked, "By the way, I don't know your name yet. Do I have the honor of knowing it?"

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and her anxious heart eased a little. She whispered her name: "Xiao Nan... My name is Xiao Nan."

"Konan, huh? That's a nice name."

Uchiha Shigeka suddenly sighed and his tone became low.

"Poor Xiaonan, life of displacement must be painful. Wandering aimlessly, hungry, going from house to house begging for survival..."

Uchiha Shigeka's words were cruel: "There is no hope in such a life. The cruel fate ruthlessly destroys you. It is so difficult for you to just survive, let alone the meaning of life. Keep going, and one day, you will become one of those "people" on the roadside."

Xiaonan was filled with fear. The "people" on the roadside were just like her, wandering around and then one day they could no longer go on and fell to the side of the road...

"Xiao Nan, do you have any dreams?"

Xiaonan's eyes dimmed as he heard Uchiha Shigeka's words: "Dream...My dream was to open a flower shop."

The Rain Country has been crying all the time. The sun is rarely seen, and the bright flowers blooming in the sun as described in the books cannot be seen.

In the land of rain, flowers cannot survive...

......

Chapter 133: Xiaonan's Following

"It's a good dream. You said it was once, do you still have a dream now?"

Xiaonan shook her head. Just as she said, the Rain Kingdom was always crying and the bright sunshine could not shine on her.

Her life has no meaning, just to survive...

Thinking of this, Xiaonan felt depressed and his eyes began to turn red.

Uchiha Shigeka's words kept echoing in Xiaonan's mind, and suddenly she felt that everything was meaningless and everything was nothing.

Life is so cruel and painful, Xiaonan wondered, how long can she hold on?

At this moment, Uchiha Shigeka's words floated over.

"Do you still want to continue living such a meaningless life? No hope, no dreams, only a painful life..."

Xiaonan raised her head and the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and flowed down.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shigeka reached out and wiped away Konan's tears.

"Come with me, I will give you hope, dreams, and the meaning of life."

Xiaonan stared at Uchiha Shigeka in a daze, and a faint light flashed in his lifeless eyes.

Xiaonan hesitated and said, "I...I'm not worthy..."

Xiaonan understood what Uchiha Shigeka meant, he wanted to take her in.

——Why? There are people like her everywhere in the Rain Country, they are ordinary and not worth it at all...

"No, you're worth it!"

Uchiha Shigeka grabbed Xiaonan's hand and said in a powerful voice: "You have the value I need!"

Uchiha Shigeka gave Konan a reason he couldn't refuse.

"Follow me, you can wear clean clothes, eat delicious food, and never wander around or suffer from hunger again."

"Not only that, I will also teach you knowledge so that you can become a ninja."

"Ninja?"

Xiaonan was surprised and felt that everything today was foggy and like a dream.

I just came over to say thank you, how did it develop to the point where he wanted to take her in?

You can also become a ninja... Although the current situation of the Rain Country is inseparable from ninjas, Xiaonan can't help but feel yearning when he thinks of the various abilities of those ninjas.

"Xiao Nan, how about following me?"

Uchiha Shigeka's voice sounded again.

......

“This is the country of birds.”

Xiaonan, wearing clean clothes, trotted a few steps, his pair of orange eyes looking into the distance brightly.

Migratory birds fly in the sky and the sparkling lake ripples.

It is full of green and vitality, completely different from the dark and humid Rain Country.

The pretty and delicate little face turned back, and the light blue-purple hair was smoothly groomed, looking fresh and shiny under the sunlight.

"Lord Chonghua, it's so beautiful here." Xiaonan waved to Uchiha Chonghua who had taken off his fox mask behind him.

"Are we going to live here from now on?"

Uchiha Shigeka came to Xiaonan and said with a smile: "Well, live here for a while and teach you some basic knowledge of ninja."

Xiaonan glanced sideways, and after she agreed to follow Uchiha Shigeka, he took off his fox mask, allowing Xiaonan to see his true face.

Xiaonan still remembers how shocked he was at that time.

——I didn’t expect that Lord Chonghua would look like a teenager. He looked only a few years older than her.

Xiaonan was a little surprised by the handsome and elegant face. Lord Chonghua was very handsome.

Moreover, he was very powerful... He easily took her through the blockade of Iwagakure and came to the Land of Birds.

Xiaonan still remembered that the distance between them and Iwagakure was no more than a hundred meters, but the other party didn't notice them at all and let them pass by easily.

Xiaonan followed Uchiha Shigeka with his hands behind his back.

The person she follows is not ordinary.

In just a few days, I went from a precarious life as a wanderer to a clean and tidy person with enough food to eat every day...

Xiaonan's life circumstances have changed so much that he is still a little dazed.

All of this was brought to her by Lord Chonghua, and Xiaonan was somewhat glad that she chose to agree.

She can't let Lord Chonghua down!

Xiaonan's eyes were determined and he clenched his fists.

——She must repay Lord Chonghua well!

Although she doesn't know what Lord Chonghua needs from her, she will try her best to fulfill Lord Chonghua's needs!

Uchiha Shigeka brought Xiaonan to a village near the Rain Country. He first rented a house here and planned to live here with Xiaonan.

As for Aburame Shisei... Shadow clones are really useful things.

The shadow clone is specially allocated a large amount of Sage Chakra, and it is not an ordinary thing that explodes when touched.

Let the shadow clone deal with Aburame Shisei and the other two.

After Uchiha Shigeka took Xiaonan to purchase some supplies, they settled down here with peace of mind.

When to leave depends on when the injuries of Aburame Shisei and others are healed.

Or...the person sent by Konoha Ninja has arrived.

The news that they were recuperating in the Land of Birds was sent back to the Konoha camp. Not long after, news came from the headquarters that a team would be sent to pick them up.

Uchiha Shigeka estimated that it would take at least half a month.

Let’s spend the next half month teaching Konan the basics of ninja!

He could also calm down and learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan and mastering the space-time eye technique Ten no Jōri, Uchiha Shigeka's understanding of space and time became deeper.

With his talent, half a month would be enough for him to learn the basics of Flying Thunder God!

......

Xiaonan's wandering experience caused him to suffer from frequent malnutrition and severe physical loss.

Girls develop earlier than boys, but Xiaonan, who is five years younger than him, is as short and thin as a five-year-old child.

Uchiha Shigeka himself was an accomplished doctor, and he first examined Xiaonan inside and out.

"Well......"

Xiaonan felt the hands moving on her body, feeling a little shy and her face turned red.

The thin clothes could not resist the constant warm touch, which was a bit itchy and made her body tremble.

Uchiha Shigeka had no romantic thoughts and his brows were furrowed.

"My health is too bad..."

At this time, Xiaonan had not yet met the brave and capable Yahiko. She seldom had enough to eat when she was wandering alone, and was often chased away and beaten...

Uchiha Shigeka's chakra transformed into Yang attribute, and emerald green light brushed across Konan's body.

Xiaonan didn't care about being shy. Her eyes were filled with surprise, and she felt warm all over under the shining green light.

“Ah~~Hmm!”

Xiaonan couldn't help but hum comfortably as she was enveloped in that warm breath, but then she immediately felt that there was something wrong with the sound and quickly covered her mouth.

This sound... is a bit like the sound of a cat in heat that she saw...

This is totally out of control.

Xiaonan suppressed the sound of wanting to scream, and felt like crying but couldn't. Her beautiful eyes were moist and her eyes were moving. Although she was young, she had her own charm.

......

Chapter 134: Flying Thunder God Stage 1, practice successful!

Gulu gulu——

Xiaonan wrinkled his nose, his eyes lit up as he looked at the delicious food bubbling in the pot.

Uchiha Shigeka took a sip with a spoon and nodded with satisfaction.

He filled a bowl and handed it to Xiaonan.

"Drink it, it's good for your body."

Xiaonan took it happily and drank it. It was the right temperature, not too hot, and the aroma filled his tongue.

"Delicious."

Xiaonan's face immediately showed a look of happiness and satisfaction.

In just three or five bites, Xiaonan drank all the medicine soup cooked by Uchiha Shigeka.

It is called a medicinal soup, but it contains only a few medicinal ingredients and most of it is meat and vegetable supplements.

Most of Konan's weak body had been healed by his medical ninjutsu, and the rest would be restored to a normal healthy physique by drinking more medicine.

By then, Konan can start practicing chakra refinement.
