Naruto the Cat and the Fox

At dusk, Konoha Village welcomed three victims who had come from all the way to seek refuge, a girl of twelve or thirteen years old and an elderly couple. The third generation Hokage of Konoha Village has always been very tolerant and generous to the helpless people who came for help. After recording the relevant information in detail, he arranged temporary accommodation for them in a simple room in an old hotel.

This is already the best treatment. After all, it can give them a place to stay when they are helpless.And although the hotel looks old, it is still very clean and tidy.

The girl comes from the Mist Ninja Village in the Land of Water, but she is not a ninja and has no chakra like an ordinary person. Her family began to decline due to suppression, and then the family members fled in all directions.

However, even though the family was closely guarded, the people who suppressed them did not keep an eye on their lives.Of course, that's assuming they stay peacefully in the village, and that's if they haven't gotten what they want.

But for some reason, the family patriarch took the risk and sent all the young children everywhere.However, not many people can actually get out alive. The girl is lucky, assuming that the original team of more than a dozen people now only has three of them, two old and one young.

In this world of ninjas, only the strong are eye-catching and respected. The decline or rise of various families is not uncommon in this undercurrent world. Coupled with the secrecy of the Mist Ninja Village, not many people can know why that family suddenly declined. Or rather, no one knows that such an unknown family exists in the world.

Yingluofeng is the name of a girl, a very strange name, and a very strange family. The girl's character is as plain as water. Even though she witnessed the oppression of her family and the scattering of her family, her mood remained calm, as calm as an outsider.

The girl has long black hair, black eyes, and a very ordinary appearance. She can barely be considered pretty. The only thing that impresses people is that she smiles gently all the time.

The old couple who accompanied her were servants who had taken care of and protected her since she was a child. Originally, they could choose to leave after escaping, but they followed the girl loyally. Although the old woman was only about fifty years old, her hair was already gray. Her neatly tied hair made her look in good spirits, and her smile made her wrinkled face look kind.

The old woman's husband is still very strong, maybe because his figure is still strong and his black hair makes him look much younger.It's a pity that he is mute and usually just does his work honestly and quietly.

However, being able to survive well after experiencing so many thrills can also be seen as extraordinary.Although she is a bit older, she can still protect their young lady's integrity.

After washing away the tiredness of running around, the old woman was combing her young lady Yingluo's waist-length jet-black hair. The antique wooden comb combed through the silky black silk.

Yingluo, who was sitting quietly on her knees, seemed to be looking ahead, but there was no focus in her eyes. After a while, she spoke in a low voice, "Aunt Ye, let's go out with Uncle Ye tomorrow to see if there is a suitable store. After all, if you want to settle down here temporarily, you still have to have a place where you can support your family."

"Alas", the old woman whom she called Aunt Ye was stunned for a moment, but then she didn't reply. After all, after being homeless for so long, they didn't have enough money to buy a store, but she didn't know how to explain it to the always pampered lady.

"I still have some jewelry in my bag. I can just sell it all when the time comes." Yingluo said calmly. After all, she was not a pampered daughter, but she still knew the importance of money.

Hearing this, Aunt Ye was full of surprise and persuaded with a hint of anxiety, "But, miss..."

"Don't worry about this little thing. It's better to survive now." Yingluo replied with a smile and didn't care much.

Aunt Ye wanted to say something more, but she just sighed and nodded silently. With the changes of time, the current Yingluo family is no longer the same as before. It is only slightly better than a well-off family now. And for recognizing and accepting the facts so quickly, this thirteen-year-old girl has a heart-warming sense of understanding.

"Then I will go out with the old man to take a look tomorrow. Miss, please take a good rest first." Aunt Ye put the wooden comb aside, bent down to salute, and then quietly walked out.

After hearing the sound of the door closing, Yingluo sighed, and then looked at herself in the mirror quietly. The young girl still has a childish look on her face, but she looks very stable because of her gentle smile.

After a while, she reached out and took out a small package from the dressing cabinet. When she opened it, there was only a white short knife and a small wooden box. After opening the wooden box, there was only a simple pendant inside. The pendant was only half of a pink cherry blossom. The smooth cut marks indicate that there is another half.

The other half is with her biological brother, but the fat boy is only three years old this year. I'm probably still at home now

After carefully placing the wooden box, she reached for the white short knife. The exquisite white short sword is only 50c, and the scabbard has subtle carvings that look like some ancient writing. There is a small hanging rope tied to the end of the knife handle. One end of the rope, which is only seven or eight centimeters, is tied to the knife handle, and the other end is a wood-carved wind character.

The reason why I am called Feng is because I hope you can be as free and carefree as the wind~

In my memory, my gentle mother once said this, maybe she never said this. Just because, with her heart as calm as water, there is no way she could be as free as the wind. After all, she's too lazy to run around.

In addition, after being branded, her freedom is gone. What's more, she is just a child of a separated family.

After recovering her thoughts, she pulled out the knife slightly, looked at the sharp blade silently, and then put it back.After quickly putting the small package away, she began to prepare for rest.

After all, a new life starts tomorrow. I just hope those people don’t come looking for me.

The new store was bought quickly. It was not close to a commercial street. After all, the rent in the commercial street was too expensive. But the location is quite good, after all, it is close to residential buildings. The wooden house has two floors and a medium-sized backyard. The overall area is quite large. It is said that the previous owner sold it at a low price because he moved elsewhere.

The first floor is mainly the shop and kitchen, while the second floor is the rooms of Yingluo and the old couple, as well as a simple study room and practice room.After a brief discussion, they decided to open a bakery.

After a few days of decoration, the store finally had a simple size.The entrance is a simple wooden door, with a small wooden sign hanging on the handle facing outward, and a shell wind chime hanging inside the door.To the right of the main entrance is a glass window with a huge lattice wooden shelf.The wooden frame, which is four meters high and four meters wide, is divided into five levels, with five grids on each level for placing cake samples on display.Most of them are models, though.

There are also four rows of wooden racks in the store, with various types of bread ready to be placed on them.The innermost one is the cashier, and on the left side of the side store is a production station where you can write blessings on cakes for customers.

After the decoration was completed, the small cake shop called Fengzhijia opened quietly. Of course, for the sake of interest rates, a few children were hired to distribute leaflets, otherwise they would lose money. .

Aunt Ye is only responsible for making all kinds of bread, while Uncle Ye is also responsible for buying ingredients and taking care of the vegetables in the backyard. Yingluo was responsible for making the cake, although she followed the instructions throughout the process. Occasionally, I will ask a few people to come over and help me.

When people saw that they had just arrived, they were willing to help them.

Various kinds of bread have been placed on the shelves, and there are also several exquisite cakes placed on the display rack by the window. There are not many passers-by, but they are not few either. Occasionally, a few will come in to choose, or just stand outside and look at the exquisite cakes.

In the morning, the sun is shining and the breeze is gentle. The freshly baked cakes on the display stand looked extremely delicious in the sunshine. Sakura was wearing a plain white kimono, her long black hair was tied up, and a white cherry blossom in full bloom was pinned to the black silk stockings. At this time, she was decorating a small cake with a smile, and carefully made a flower with cream on the small cake.

"Ring, bell," the sound of the wind chime rang. She was so shocked that her hand shook and she twisted the flower.

The person who pushed the door in did not expect that there would be wind chimes there, and he was also startled.The person who came was a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life, wearing a neat ninja uniform and carrying a backpack as if he was going out on a mission.

After repairing the flower with a knife, she smiled and said, "Welcome, how can I help you?"

"Ah, oh", the uncle let go of the door handle he was holding on with some discomfort, and subconsciously looked at this small but exquisite cake shop before suddenly remembering his purpose, and immediately said with a naive smile, "Actually, it is Well, it’s said that you can customize cakes here, right?”

"Yes," Yingluo walked out from behind the production table carrying the small cake and said as she walked towards the glass window, "Do you want a custom-made birthday cake or other types of cakes?"

"Ah hahaha, it's a birthday cake." The uncle touched his head and said with a smile, "It happens to be my daughter's birthday in a week, and I just came back from the mission at that time, so I wanted to celebrate her birthday properly. "

"That's it." Yingluo nodded in understanding, put the cake on the display stand and closed the glass. Immediately, she walked to the counter and took out an exquisite menu, "These are the cakes that our store can currently provide. You can choose a style from them. And our store can help customers inscribe on the cakes for free."

"Oh, that's it, hahaha, let me take a look." The uncle seemed to rarely come into the bakery, but he was sincerely thinking about his daughter. After carefully looking through the menu for a while, he pointed to a rabbit cake and said, "Let's take this one. My daughter quite likes cakes."

"Okay." Yingluo nodded, wrote down the note on the side, then handed him the notepad and pen, and pointed to one of the blank spaces, "Please fill in the words you want to write on the cake. , please fill in the address if necessary."

"Oh, okay. I'll just pick it up when I finish the task." The uncle smiled. After writing the required information, he thought about it and filled in the address. "Just in case, just in case. It's better to write down the address, after all, if the task is delayed, she can still see the cake."

After confirming that the good news was correct, the uncle handed over the record book and paid the account in one go. "If I haven't come back by 5 o'clock in the evening a week later, please help me deliver the cake to my house." Well. After all, I have missed my daughter’s birthday several times due to missions, and I didn’t prepare a gift. It would be troublesome if it happens this time, hahahaha.”

"You are really considerate." Yingluo just smiled softly, threw the money into the drawer on the counter, and wrote the delivery time in the record book.

The uncle didn't talk much because the time for his departure was coming soon. He hurriedly said goodbye to Sakura and left immediately. Although his figure looked clumsy, he had the strength of a ninja.

Yingluo looked at the record book in her hand, and then wondered when to start making this cake. At this time, Ye Po was taking out the last plate of bread. The light yellow bread has an appearance like a rose, and is dotted with red beans.

Yingluo put the record book aside and immediately stepped forward to help. Although at the beginning, Aunt Ye and Uncle Ye were not used to the help of the young lady they served, but with Yingluo's persuasion, they gradually got used to it, but they still tried their best not to make her too hard.

The bakery's business is pretty good. If it goes well, the money invested can be earned back within two months. And there were quite a few people making cakes, but Yingluo didn't look tired at all.

Before you know it, a week has passed, and the ninja uncle from before was supposed to come to pick up the birthday cake today. As it was approaching noon, Yingluo was putting the final touches on the cake. After using a carving knife to carve the rabbit in the middle of the cake more beautifully, she used the flower mouth to make several small flowers, and finally used the fruit slices placed aside as the final decoration.

After she was done, she wiped her hands with a nearby towel, and then looked at the finished product on the production table in silence.Fruit cake, very suitable for children's taste.And the size is just enough for a family of three. Just looking at it makes me feel a little happy.

Unfortunately, that is only the happiness of others.

After reaching for a bunny-shaped chocolate chip, she carefully wrote the words requested by the customer in white chocolate on it. It's nothing more than wishing the birthday boy a happy birthday and other blessings.

After thoroughly finishing the lovely light pink cake, she put it into a light pink box, tied it with a delicate ribbon and tied a bow on the top for easy access. The next step is to put it in the refrigerator and wait for its owner to pick it up.

As time passed, the bread in the store began to become less and less. When the clock on the wall behind the counter reached five o'clock and made five dull sounds, the uncle who ordered the cake still didn't show up.

"" Yingluo, who was sitting behind the counter, frowned slightly, then stood up and shouted into the kitchen, "Aunt Ye, I'm going out. A customer has ordered a cake but hasn't come to pick it up yet."

"Hey, Miss, are you going out?" Aunt Ye, who was preparing dinner, immediately walked out in a hurry, holding a hot and smoking spatula in her hand, "It's almost night now, and it would be dangerous for Miss to go out alone. It’s better to let me go.”

"It's just a very short distance. I can be back in about thirty minutes. And I've memorized the map." Ying Luo tidied her kimono, then took out the box containing the cake from the refrigerator, "Ye Luo Auntie, you'd better prepare dinner first, there isn't much bread left anyway, so we can close early."

"But", Aunt Ye was still a little worried. She took a spatula and shouted in the direction of the backyard, "Hey, the old lady is going out to deliver goods. You can go with us."

There was no response from the backyard. After the sound of hurried footsteps, Uncle Ye ran out and nodded silently.

Yingluo covered her mouth and smiled, and said gently, "There's no need to worry so much, I'm not a child anymore."

"That's not okay. We are not familiar with the place here. What if there is danger?" Aunt Ye still looked worried, so she kept telling Uncle Ye, "Remember to protect the young lady. The old man must be there." Come back before it gets dark."

Uncle Ye nodded constantly, reached out to take the cake box that Yingluo was carrying, and then pointed in the direction of the door. Yingluo knew that he didn't want to continue listening to Aunt Ye's nagging, so she nodded with a smile and said softly to the nagging Aunt Ye, "It's already very late, let's go out first, Aunt Ye."

"Oh, yes, the later you leave, the later you will come back, and the more dangerous it will be. Be careful, miss." Aunt Ye nodded quickly, and then suddenly smelled a burnt smell, and rushed back in a panic. Kitchen, "Oh no, no, the food is going to be burnt."

"Hehehe", Yingluo smiled helplessly and then went out. Uncle Ye also followed behind, keeping a certain distance quietly.
