About me being the shavings boss at Konoha

Chapter 2 The difficult road to receiving relief benefits

Seeing the Konoha ninjas taking away the tasks one by one, Kurama Jiji withdrew his envious eyes and took a relief application form from the front desk.

Relief funds are not automatically distributed. You have to apply for them yourself from the Hokage. It is only available once a month. Fortunately, the perverted old man of the Third Hokage, although his mouth is long-winded, has a good heart and will agree every time.

Otherwise, he can only let his mother seduce him in his dreams.

Perhaps out of confidence in his strength, or because there was a powerful ANBU hiding somewhere in the dark, Kurama Jiji didn't meet anyone questioning him in the corridor to the Hokage's office.

After politely knocking on the door and receiving a positive response, Kurama Jiji pushed the door open and entered with the most meticulous bow etiquette: "See the Third Hokage..."

In addition to the Hokage, there was a middle-aged man with a bandage on his face in the office. His face was as gloomy as a gambler who had just lost his last pair of shorts.

"It's Jiji from the Kurama family...what's the matter?"

Kurama Jiji admires the Third Hokage very much. Even at his age, he can still clearly remember the names and living conditions of everyone in the village. Perhaps this is why he is very popular among the villagers.

"I want to apply for this month's relief fund." Kurama Jiji respectfully handed over the application form.

"Well... I remember you should have graduated last month, right?" The Third Hokage did not sign readily this time. Instead, he put the form aside and started chatting.

"Yes, but I failed the ninja test." Kurama Jiji did not lower his head in inferiority even when facing the Hokage. His father told him that a gentleman would never lose his pride because of anything.

"Well... I remember, but why didn't you repeat the grade? Is it because you don't have confidence in yourself? It doesn't matter, not every leaf can thrive at the beginning, as long as you work hard to absorb the sunshine..."

"It's because I don't have money to pay for the repairs." Kurama Jiji interrupted calmly.

"Ahem..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's words of encouragement seemed to have been cut off by a sharp knife, ending abruptly in his throat. He could only cough to cover up his embarrassment:

"Ahem... For a child who has lost his parents, the repair fee is indeed a bit much..."

Kurama Jiji has already begun to urge in his heart: You won't invite me to dinner. Everyone's time is very precious. Please sign your name on the application form as usual, and then let me leave smoothly. After all, I haven't had breakfast yet. , if you really care about me, then write two more zeros in the amount column...

The Third Hokage still had no intention of signing the application. He quietly looked at this weak but well-groomed young man: "What are your plans in the future?"

"I'll take my dole money and go to the park and finish a bowl of ramen," Kurama Jiji replied.

"Ahem... Jiji, you misunderstood me. I mean everyone's life has the ultimate value of their own existence. What do you plan to do in the future?" Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed.

"The meaning of my life is to take the relief money and go to the park to finish a bowl of ramen. If the amount is considerable, I can also add a piece of barbecued pork." Kurama Jiji answered seriously.

"..." The Third Hokage's face was expressionless.

"Sarutobi! Hurry up and sign the damn list, and then let him take the money to eat ramen in the park! I still have business to talk about!" The bandage-faced uncle on the side said with a frown.

Kurama Jiji immediately felt a fondness for this sinister uncle. If he had the chance, he would treat him to a bowl of salad...forget it, let's eat a roasted mushroom.

"Danzo... don't worry, even if it's a withered sapling, we have to confirm it twice before eradicating it. I plan to give the child a chance to live a new life... Since he can't be a ninja, maybe we can give him a chance to live a normal life. One cannot live on relief funds all his life." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said: "Tell me, kid, what type of job do you want? I can help you arrange it."

Kurama Jiji's eyes were a little bright: "Is there a job with high salary, good benefits, light work, not dangerous, close to home, and where you can sleep at work?"

The smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly stiffened.

Jiji also felt that her request was a bit too much. After all, she was not Hokage, so she could still sleep at work, so she immediately changed her words: "My eldest sister likes to read. If possible, I hope to work in the library."

In this case, there is no need to go to the bookstore and spend money to buy books for my eldest sister to read. Books are valuable.

"The library..." Sarutobi Hiruzen began to think. The library is not a particularly important place, but it is not accessible to just anyone. The Fire Country is the country that pays the most attention to scientific research among the five major countries. Konoha's The information in the library is also very complete, and only Jonin is eligible to borrow books freely.

Kurama Jiji waited quietly.

"Jiji... how is your illness? I mean... your mental state, do you still think you can see your dead family members?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was very worried that Kurama Jiji would become mentally unstable. The library was burned down. Although his information showed that he had never done any violence or hurt anyone since he was a child, but he was often bullied.

Kurama Jiji lowered his head slightly and began to think, maybe as long as he said that he could no longer see his family, he would be able to get this good job.

But he doesn't want to deny the existence of his family, which is his only attachment in this village.

"Yes... I have parents and two sisters... they are not dead... living in my heart." Kurama Jiji solemnly replied.

"Well...that's a very honest answer, but in this case, I can't give you such a job..." Sarutobi Hiruzen said regretfully.

Kurama Jiji didn't say anything. Anyway, it's not a bad thing to receive relief money for the rest of his life. If one day he stops giving it, I will ask my mother to seduce him in his dream.

"Did you hear that? Sign quickly and tell him to get out." The middle-aged man with a bandage face said impatiently.

Kurama Jiji wildly agreed.

"But... I still don't want an outstanding child to spend his whole life doing nothing. I hope you can go to the psychiatry department of Konoha Hospital. There is a very good psychiatrist in the middle of the mountain. If he can Provide proof that you are qualified for this job, and I will give you this job." Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, but..." Kurama Jiji really has no money.

"Don't worry, I will write a letter to Shino, and he will give you free examination and treatment. Remember... I will not give up any leaf on the big tree of Konoha." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled. Start writing a letter.

Kurama Jiji looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's somewhat old face and hoped that he could live forever. Where could he find such a caring boss?

"Okay, let's take some time to meet him in the next few days. Shinno is a very good medical ninja, especially in the psychological field." Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the written letter to Kurama Jiji.

Kurama Jiji didn't move after taking the letter.

"What? Is there anything else?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked doubtfully.

"Relief fund." Kurama Jiji stared at the application form on the table.

"Haha..." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled helplessly, picked up a pen and signed the application form.

Kurama Jiji stared intently at the pen in the Hokage's hand, watching him draw one by one.

"1 taels"! !

2000 taels more than usual!

In this era when a bowl of the most common salty ramen costs 50 taels, 1 taels can already allow a person to live decently for a month.

Although Kurama Jiji has to support not one person, but a family.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!!" Kurama Jiji bowed deeply and said goodbye to the two most powerful executives in Konoha. The glutton in his stomach was already urging him to quickly collect the money and go to the park to finish a bowl of ramen.

A pair of good friends were left chatting in the office.

"Hiruzen, there is no need to show such hypocrisy in front of me. Leaves should be picked when they are withered instead of wasting nutrients." Danzo Shimura said coldly with his eyes half closed.

"Haha, Danzo, so I am sitting on the Hokage chair, not you. The true meaning of Hokage is to regard a village as a home. Maybe some children are disobedient, and some children have poor talents, but after all, they are our children. Don't abandon any of them unless you have to..." Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled.

"You and I have different ideas, don't talk nonsense to me! I need people at my roots, especially people with blood inheritance boundaries!" Shimura Danzo shouted.

"Do you want the one just now? It's also from the Blood Step family."

"Hmph, I'm not a trash can at all. I can collect any kind of waste."

……

Kurama Jiji couldn't hear their conversation anymore. He had already gone to the finance office to get a whole stack of brand new banknotes, and counted them carefully over and over again. The sense of security brought by this thick banknote was beyond anything else. replaced.

Finally there was money in his long-dead wallet, and Kurama Jiji's steps became more and more brisk. He felt that if he had put such a stack of bills at the end of the graduation exam, the [-]-meter obstacle course might have passed.

"Ramen... ramen... Ichiraku ramen..." Kurama Jiji thought repeatedly in his heart as he kept walking towards Central Park. This is the only store where the ramen tastes good and the price is affordable.

"Never meet the second sister...never...never..."

Kurama Jiji looked at the strange yet familiar ramen stall in the park, getting closer and closer. At this time, he only needed to shout: "Boss, a bowl of salty ramen!"

The soft, glutinous and chewy ramen will soon take shape in the boss's hands. While waiting for the ramen to cook, Kurama Jiji has five minutes and 30 seconds to quietly consider whether he can add a candied hot spring egg to the noodles.

Although there is a high probability that it will not be added, in the process of thinking, the fantasy in the brain has tasted hot spring eggs countless times. Such thinking is happy.

Just when Kurama Jiji's eyes met the master of Ichiraku Ramen, both of them smiled at the same time, and when they were about to shout out those words, a girl suddenly appeared with an evil smile on her face, blocking the way. between the two of them.

"Two...two...second sister..." As the saying goes, what you are afraid of will come, Kurama Jiji swallowed a mouthful of saliva, extremely nervous.

"Ji~ji! The relief fund has been received, right?" The second sister's mobile phone came to Jiji's chest where she kept her wallet, and she hooked her arms around his neck with a smirk on her face.

"Second sister, can you...let me eat a bowl of ramen first...just for 10 minutes..." Kurama Jiji swallowed.

"10 minutes! You actually asked me to wait for you for 10 minutes! Do you know how many times 10 minutes can make a 35-year-old bald man happy?! Twenty times! Do you ever care about his feelings? You only care about yourself! "

"Second sister...I just want to eat a bowl of salty ramen..."

"What's so delicious about salty ramen! When the second sister wins the money, the second sister will treat you to the most expensive Overlord Lobster Seafood Ramen! Let's go! I've been waiting for this day for a month! Hahahaha..."

Kurama Jiji was dragged on the ground by her second sister, and all pedestrians gave way in fear.

Because from the perspective of passers-by, Kurama Jiji went crazy again, and suddenly became frightened as if he had seen a ghost. After talking nonsense, he twitched and fell to the ground, and walked away with his body arched like an earthworm. .
