This morning, there seemed to be quite a lot of guests.

Shortly after Qianju Tojian "clicked on the cat", the automatic sensor door opened again.

The crisp sound of wind chimes made Uchiha stand by the counter, holding the patriarch cat's paws and shaking them up and down to help him play the role of lucky cat, and turned his head with a smile: "Welcome!"

Then I saw three small figures standing at the door. Their expressions were shrinking, and their clothes were a little old and tattered, but they were washed very clean.

"Hug, I'm sorry..." The purple-haired little girl glanced at the too clean environment in the store, then at the slightly strange but very good-looking clerk, and whispered, "We are not customers, we just want to ask

Ask if there is a shortage of jobs here."

After saying this, the little boy with orange hair and the little boy with red hair beside her also raised their heads, looking at Uchiha Obi with longing and expectant faces.

To be honest, they didn't have much hope.

Because they have asked many stores in the Land of Rain in the past few days, and the answers they got are "no need". It is still good if they are willing to answer, and some people in the store will not even talk to them.

Others directly drive them away.

The previous winter was somewhat difficult, and many civilians and orphans like them did not survive it.

And now, even if winter turns to spring, everyone’s life is still not good. In this situation, many stores are just struggling to support themselves, and there is no spare time to hire other people, especially... or a group of children.

Nagato, Yahiko and Konan all know this clearly, and also know that there is little hope. However, they are very hungry, and there is no shortage of water in the Land of Rain, so they have only relied on drinking water to survive for two consecutive days——

People will never survive if they just drink water. They also need some food. Even a little bit is enough for them to continue to struggle to survive and continue to wander.

Yahiko tried hard to sell himself: "Although we are still young, we are very strong. Moreover, you only need to give us three people... no, half a person's money, or just give us some food."

It’s okay. Really, we are very capable!”

Bangs covered his eyes, and Nagato, who was clumsy at speaking, opened his mouth, but couldn't squeeze out a single word, so he just nodded desperately.

Xiaonan also clasped her hands on her chest and looked at the girl in the store expectantly.

The black cats in the store all looked at the door.

The patriarch Meow looked meaningfully at Obito Meow, who was popping up from the trash can: Look, the target of your future sins.

Obito looked back at it: Are you qualified to say this?

There is no doubt that these two are the source of all evil, and no one has the right to complain about the other. If you don't know, you would think that the two of them have a deep hatred for Jiraiya, and they will try their best to harm his apprentice.

Qianshou Feijian also raised his head, frowning slightly, feeling a little annoyed.

He remembered that he had specially formulated a strategy regarding Konoha's homeless children, and had specially held two or three meetings with that group of people, repeatedly emphasizing that children are the future of Konoha, so Konoha does not allow the existence of homeless children. -

Once they are discovered, they will all be taken to the village-run orphanage. It would be great if some of them have families willing to adopt them. After that, if they want to, they can go to the ninja school in the village, and someday in the future -?

, they will eventually become trees that support the leaves of wood. They may not be towering trees, but they are indeed an indispensable foundation.

And now, right under his nose, three sallow-looking street children appeared in the village?

And -? I feel hungry for a long time. I haven't eaten much for at least two days.

This group of people simply ignored him and turned a deaf ear to his words!

Senju Tobirama's face suddenly turned as dark as water. Anyone who knew him well knew that he was 100% angry.

—Although the mirror cat next to him could roughly guess that this was a misunderstanding, he couldn't explain it because the cat couldn't explain it. He could only look at his teacher anxiously and get angry. After thinking about it, he silently rubbed his little head against it.

He rubbed the arm of the person next to him, hoping to make him feel slightly better.

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "..."

He lowered his head and glanced at the black cat whose big eyes were full of worry, and once again had to admit that this was indeed a good cat.

Just at this moment...

He heard the clerk say: "Sorry, our store doesn't need long-term manpower for the time being."

Although Senju Tobirama knew that this kind of rejection was natural, he was a little disappointed for some reason. Realizing this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, because only with hope can one be disappointed. So,

What hope did he have for this girl he met for the first time? This was undoubtedly unreasonable.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three children at the door dimmed.

Xiaonan pursed her lips and bowed: "Sorry to bother you..."

The same goes for Yahiko and Nagato.

They have encountered many people with bad attitudes in the past few days, so when faced with a rare situation with a bad attitude, they

Wrong shopkeeper, they chose to respond with the same courtesy.

"...Ah, wait." Uchiha realized that the other party had misunderstood, and quickly continued, "I mean, I really don't need long-term manpower here, but I need a few temporary workers, but the time is very short.

It’s probably just for today or the next few days. I’ll be paid and have meals included, if you don’t mind?..."

"We don't mind!" Yahiko stood up straight and replied with bright eyes. Then, an extremely bright smile appeared on his face.

Konan and Nagato also laughed in unison.

There is no doubt that they were all surprised by this result. Because originally, they did not have high hopes.

"In that case, I will officially hire you." Uchiha smiled and waved to the three of them, "Come in and find a seat in the store to sit down."

The three of them walked to the store a little restrained. After looking around, Nagato whispered: "No, otherwise, let's forget it. Let's..." He looked down at the old and tattered clothes on his body, and then looked at them.

In the clean and tidy store, there was a clearly visible expression of discomfort.

Uchiha tape: "..." Hey, boss Nagato, who will become a "crazy beautician" in many futures, was really immature when she was young. And she has always been full of patience towards "cubs"

?and love, so she reached out and touched his red hair, leaned down and said with a smile, "I don't think there is any problem." As she said that, -? she gently put one hand on Nagato's shoulder,

—? Putting his hand on Konan's shoulder, he asked Yahiko to follow him with his eyes, and led the three of them to sit down at a seat for four near the door.

"It's breakfast time now. Since I said I would provide three meals a day, let's start with this meal." She asked with a smile, "But currently there is no normal breakfast in the store, only various desserts. I can only grievance for you."

Eat some of this to fill your stomach. Do you have any favorite desserts?"

The three little ones looked at each other and shook their heads honestly.

Xiaonan replied softly: "We... rarely eat this kind of food, so we don't know what we like."

"As long as it can fill your stomach, that's all." Yahiko said cheerfully.

"Just the cheap one is fine." The sensitive Nagato knew clearly that they were being helped by this kind-hearted girl, so he didn't want to cause too much trouble to the other party.

"Soga..." Uchiha nodded understandingly, "Then let's have one of each."

Just order, eat more - you will know what you like~" As she said this, she turned around and quickly brought a variety of desserts on a tray, and, in Sanxiao

A cup of hot milk was put down in front of each other, "Children don't need to drink coffee or tea. Drink some milk. Drinking more milk will make you grow taller." If she remembered correctly, these three

The tallest one is only about 1.75 meters tall, and Nagato's boss is only 1.75 meters tall. Maybe it's because he didn't have enough nutrition when he was a child.

...Although, it seems that her words are not convincing enough.

After that, Uchiha Ochi simply left, because she knew that if she was next to her all the time, the three children would not feel comfortable eating.

And just after she left...

Qianju Feijian raised his head again silently, and his originally angry heart gradually calmed down for some reason. He - while using the knuckles of his fingers - rubbed the little head of the black cat next to him,

—? while observing the three children not far away.

The three of them looked at each other again...

As a girl, Xiaonan couldn't resist the temptation of the overly cute dessert in front of her at first. She picked up the fork in front of her and carefully picked up a piece of cream as white as snow, brought it to her mouth and sipped it gently.

—? A small mouth. Next -? Seconds, an extremely shocked expression appeared on her young and cute face.

"...What's wrong? Xiaonan."

"Xonan?"

"Okay, it's delicious." Xiao Nan said "Ah woo", then she directly brought all the cream on the fork to her mouth, and then put the fork down again. This time, she directly forked half of the cake, and by the way

He urged his friends, "You guys should eat too, it's really delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious!"

Nagato and Yahiko looked at each other, then picked up their forks at the same time.

After a while, all three children started eating almost hungrily.

Most children love sweets very much, except for a few. But for them, as orphans, really? They have no right to be picky eaters - how can they have the time to care about these things when eating enough is a problem.

And the current meal, it is no exaggeration to say, is indeed the most delicious meal they have ever eaten since they can remember.

Very fragrant and sweet.

It's really sweet, many times sweeter than the bottle of Jinping Candy they picked up on the roadside. It's like a rare dream, so much so that it even makes people a little suspicious...

This -? Exactly, really

Real??

And even if this is a dream, at least, you have to eat enough before waking up from the dream.

Qianju Tobijian watched this scene with a smile. As the second son of a big family, he has not suffered this kind of suffering. But this does not mean that he cannot understand this kind of "small and satisfying happiness".

"Feeling". In other words, no one understands the preciousness of this small happiness better than him, who has suffered from war for a long time and finally brought peace to this land with his brother.

There is no doubt that the store manager who gave them this is a kind girl.
