The Uchiha Orphan's Survival Guide [Naruto]

After passing the Country of Grass, the rest of the journey was considered safe, and everyone quickly arrived at the capital of the Country of Earth. Anri led the carriage to the Uesugi family's courtyard, and was about to say goodbye when Junko suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. corner.

"Miss Junko, do you have any other instructions?" Anri asked.

Junzi bit her lower lip and said hesitantly, "I do have a merciless request."

Anri raised an eyebrow and motioned for her to continue.

Junko bowed her head and said, "Can you pretend to be my maid and accompany me to meet Lord Uesugi's wife tomorrow?"

"Yes, yes..." Anri scratched her forehead, "But why? Just ask Xiaoxia to accompany you."

Junko sighed: "I heard that the wife of the wife has a hot temper, and she will definitely make things difficult for me. If I take Xiaoxia with me, she will be worried when she sees her, and she might even stop me from marrying Mr. Uesugi."

Anri smiled and said, "You are very affectionate towards Mr. Uesugi."

Junko shook her head: "I am only grateful to Mr. Uesugi for redeeming my life."

Anri tilted her head in confusion: "Then...is that Mr. Uesugi deeply in love with you?"

Junko still shook her head: "Although Mr. Uesugi has some admiration and affection for me, it is just a temporary novelty."

"Then why do you still want to marry him? You know that Mr. Uesugi is not a good man and the Uesugi family is a complete fire pit, but you still have to jump into it?"

Junko showed a faint smile and said: "That's not the case. I have inquired about it. Although Mr. Uesugi's wife has a hot temper, she is still kind-hearted and will not use despicable means to harm others, but there will be too many It's just a few times of making things difficult, but I can still bear it. Uesugi-sama, although he is a carefree person, he is still a good person and has a gentle temper. He will not beat or scold his wife and concubines at every turn."

"The Uesugi family is already a good place for me."

Xingli is still puzzled: "You have saved some money over the years, why don't you redeem yourself, set up your own business, and do some small business. Although your life may be poorer, at least you don't have to rely on others. Besides, Miss Junko, you are not a person who covets glory. ah."

Junko sighed: "Master Anri, you are a ninja. You have lived in the ninja village for a long time and you are outstanding in martial arts. But I have no strength and no relatives. I once lived in the land of fireworks. In this world, I have no one." Asylum, it is really difficult to live an upright life on your own..."

She smiled sadly: "Who doesn't want to straighten up and work, but I really have no choice."

Anri's face was slightly moved: "But I can't keep pretending to be your maid. After we get married, Xiaoxia will live with you in the Uesugi family. Sooner or later, she will find out about your situation. You won't be able to hide it for long. Besides, there is Daisuke. What's on the child's mind Delicate, you can’t hide it from him.”

Junko said: "After the wedding is completed, I will ask Mr. Uesugi to send Konatsu to study in the academy. He still loves me a little bit and will not refuse, so Konatsu will not find out."

"As for Daisuke, maybe due to your influence, he no longer hates ninjas. On the way here, he told me that he wanted to become a ninja in the future, so I am going to ask Mr. Uesugi to send him to the ninja school in Iwagakure Village. , so he won’t find out.”

Anri was silent for a long time and then said slowly: "So are you planning to stay at the Uesugi family alone and face the loneliness and pain in the courtyard alone?"

Junko nodded silently.

Anri sighed and said, "I promise you."

After Yui and Sakura were settled, Anri arrived at the Uesugi family courtyard early the next morning. Junko had been waiting for a long time. When Anri arrived, she smiled and held out a kimono.

Anri twitched her lips slightly: "Do you have to be so formal? I'm just pretending to be a maid, do I have to be so serious?"

Junko said seriously: "The Uesugi family is a wealthy and noble family and should not be ignored."

So Anri had no choice but to lower her head and was put on a kimono by Junko. She thought that everything would be fine, but she saw Junko holding out a bunch of bottles and cans from nowhere.

"The next step is to put on makeup." Junko said.

Anri's eyes widened and she said, "You still need to put on makeup? No need..."

Junko shook her head, picked up a piece of powder cake, and said slowly: "Wealthy nobles..."

"Don't ignore it, I know it, I know it." Xingli waved her hands and closed her eyes, "Come on, let's put on makeup."

Seeing her aloof and righteous look, Junko couldn't help but cover her mouth with a smile, and then lightly covered her face with powder.

Junko was skillful, and it didn't take long for her makeup to be put on. She took out a silver mirror and handed it to Anri: "Ms. Anri, you are a beauty."

Anli took the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror carefully. Then she touched the flower patch on her forehead and smiled softly: "My mother also liked the style of this flower patch..."

She raised her head and looked at Junko, stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go."

The two walked out of the courtyard together. The Uesugi family's carriage had been waiting for a long time at the door. Anri helped Junko get on the carriage and was about to go to the front to catch the carriage. Suddenly she remembered that she was a maid now, so she also boarded the carriage.

The carriage soon arrived at the door of Uesugi's house. Junko and Yui got off the car and were led into the door by a servant. A small sedan was parked in the yard. Anri helped Junko get on the sedan and followed slowly behind the sedan. Looking at the surrounding environment animatedly.

Everywhere he passed, he saw splendid buildings and houses, and countless exotic stones and plants in the courtyard. Anri was surprised, thinking that the Uesugi family was really rich, and whether Junko was favored or not, she would at least be able to marry into it. No worries about food and clothing.

Arriving at the door of the main house, Anri helped Junko off the sedan and walked into the house. He saw a graceful woman sitting on the main seat. She must be the wife of the wife. There were several beautiful women standing around. She must have been there. They are the concubines of Lord Uesugi.

Junko stood in the hall and bowed respectfully, and Anri followed suit.

The woman looked at Junko roughly and snorted coldly: "Are you the one Uesugi Shuichi fell in love with in the Land of Fire? Look up."

Junko obeyed and raised her head.

"She is indeed beautiful, but she is not stunningly beautiful." Madam commented lightly.

"Look at that charming look on her face, she is indeed someone from Flower Street." A concubine next to her covered her mouth and said with a teasing smile.

"I heard that the ladies from the brothels are used to using some charming tricks to seduce people. I think it was only through these despicable methods that I got the favor of Mr. Uesugi." Another person whispered.

The lady frowned and glanced at the two concubines displeasedly, and the two concubines immediately fell silent.

"Since Uesugi Shuichi has taken a fancy to you and wants to let you in, I can't say much, but you have to respect this cup of concubine tea." Madam said coldly, dressing up to a maid standing nearby. The woman waved her hand.

"A Tao, go get her tea."

A Tao responded, handed the teacup to Junko, then took the teapot and poured the boiling tea into it.

The tea cup was thin, and the hot tea burned Junko's plain hands until they turned red. Anri couldn't help but clenched her fists in distress when she saw this, but there was nothing she could do.

Junko slowly walked up to the lady, half-bent, and served the tea respectfully.

The lady glanced at the steam coming out of the tea and said expressionlessly: "The tea is too hot, take it away and let it cool down for a while."

"Yes." Junko replied respectfully and walked aside with tea in hand.

Time passed by, Junko's hand serving tea trembled slightly, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the laughter of several concubines could be heard from time to time. Her face turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth and remained silent. A sound.

Anri sighed calmly, and slowly formed an illusion hand seal with her hands folded in her sleeves, but suddenly she heard the lady shout: "Forget it, bring the tea over."

Junzi quickly served the tea respectfully. Madam took it and took a hasty sip. Then she turned her head and told A Tao: "Go get her a box of burn ointment."

A Tao followed her words and went to the back room to take out a box of ointment and handed it over. Xingli quickly stepped forward to take it.

"You go back first." Madam waved her hand.

Junko bowed, bowed and walked out. As soon as she was out the door, Anri supported the shaky Junko, hugged her up, and arrived at the door of the Uesugi mansion in a flash.

She helped Junko onto the carriage, grabbed Junko's blistered hand, frowned, and said, "I'll take you to the inn where we're staying, and let Sakura treat you."

Junzi shook her head and said, "No need. Madam, didn't you give me a box of burn ointment? I'll just apply some on it."

"But..." Xingli wanted to persuade her again.

Junko interrupted and changed the subject: "Why do you think I asked you for help?"

"why?"

Junko smiled softly and sighed: "Because you are the only one who doesn't look down on me."

She still smiled, her smile was still gentle, but her tone was a bit sad: "Sama Sakura and Yui-sama, although they are very polite to me and don't have any disgust in their eyes, I know that they look down on me and look down on me as a human being. □□, I am in the flesh business, I earn money from selling my body, and I would rather join a high family as a concubine. I think I am a woman without integrity and greedy for vanity."

"But Anri-sama, I didn't hurt anyone, I just wanted to live. Is this wrong?"

"You can't live if you lose your moral integrity. I once saw a sister who didn't want to accept customers get beaten to pieces by the madam. I also heard that a sister who redeemed herself returned to her hometown but was spurned by her neighbors. She finally opened a shop within a few days. He was completely smashed, and in the end he had no choice but to go back to his old business..."

"Yes, I am weak, incompetent, humble, and have no character at all. But I just want to live, I just want to live peacefully. What have I done wrong? Why do everyone accuse me, laugh at me, and look down on me? ?”

Anri looked at the excited Junko in front of her, sighed, and said: "Junko, this is not your fault, it is the fault of this world."

"This world should not be like this."

"No children in this world should be sent to war, no young children should be displaced, and no daughters should be sold into flower streets by their parents just for a few bags of rice."

"It's the world's fault, not yours." Anri repeated.

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the coachman shouted: "We have arrived at the other courtyard. You two girls, please get out of the car."

Anri stood up and was about to leave, but Junko suddenly grabbed her wrist regardless of the blisters on her hands, and said urgently: "Anri, I will marry into the Uesugi family tomorrow. From now on, the only concubine Junko of the Uesugi family will be in the world. Son, before that, I want to ask you one last favor."

"Say, I will do my best within my capabilities." Anri said.

"I hope you can remember that there once was a girl named Fujii Hatsuka. She was not Junko, but Fujii Hatsuka."

You Anri nodded and said seriously: "I remember."
