The Uchiha Orphan's Survival Guide [Naruto]

After Junko's wedding, the three of them rushed back to Konoha, went to the Hokage's office to hand in tasks, and after receiving their rewards, the three of them got a few days off from Tsunade, so Sakura suggested that the three of them go to Yuzuki together. While playing in the country, she heard that Yunin Village was holding a summer festival recently, which was very lively.

Anri frowned and said, "I won't go. I want to seize the time to practice."

But Sakura grabbed her hand and smiled slyly: "Anri, you've been feeling gloomy all the way, so you should go and relax."

Yui also said: "Practice should not be rushed at this moment. Besides, practicing when you are depressed is not very efficient. We have been spinning for several months, and it is time to relax."

Anri pondered for a moment, then sighed and nodded: "Okay."

So the three of them agreed to go home and pack their bags, have a good night's rest, and set off early tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, when it was still dark, the three of them set off from Konoha. This time they did not need to escort anyone. The three of them were all ninjas and could move very fast. Therefore, when they arrived at Yunin Village, the sun had not completely set. .

Xingli looked around silently, and saw that many vendors had set up stalls and were enthusiastically soliciting business. Many lovers in love on the street were traveling together in bathrobes, chatting and laughing. There were also many elderly people traveling with their children, smiling. Kindly, Anri stood in the middle of the road, and laughing and playing children passed by her from time to time——

It is indeed a scene of joy and peace.

"I've booked a hot spring hotel. Let's go and take a relaxing bath first, then put on our yukata and go shopping at some time!" Sakura said with a smile.

Hearing this, Anri scratched her eyebrows in embarrassment and said with wandering eyes: "I didn't bring a yukata..."

Yui sighed after hearing this, patted Anri on the shoulder and said, "I knew you would forget to bring it, so I brought it to you."

As she spoke, she pulled out an indigo blue yukata from her bag.

Anri clasped her hands together and smiled gratefully: "Thank you so much, thank you, Yui."

The three of them came to the hot spring hotel and checked in, and were led to a private hot spring by the front desk. After getting in the water, the three of them couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Anri took the eggs from the waiter, put them into the net, and put them into the spring water.

Yui took a tooth of watermelon placed next to the soup pool, put it into her mouth, and then said: "Tell me, what's going on with you recently, why are you so depressed all the time."

"You'd better tell the truth!" Yui glared at Anri and said seriously, "Don't keep pretending that nothing is wrong!"

Sakura also nodded and said, "We are companions. If you have any difficulties, just tell us and we will definitely help you."

Anri sighed slightly and said, "It's nothing serious, I'm just thinking about the last mission."

Yui frowned in confusion: "The last mission? The last mission went well, and the reward given by Miss Junko was also very generous."

"Or are you worried about Daisuke? Don't worry, I heard that Miss Junko sent him to the ninja school in Iwagakure Village. I believe he will become an excellent ninja in the future." Sakura added.

Anri leaned lazily on the rock wall, stretched out two fingers danglingly, pointed at the two people in front of her, blinked teasingly, and said with a smile: "You two, you don't show it on your face, but you are actually scared in your heart. He doesn’t even want to say a few words to Junko."

Yui was stunned for a moment and said: "I am indeed biased against her. After all, she is..." She bit her lower lip, as if she was reluctant to say those two words.

"A prostitute [anti-harmony] girl?" Anri answered simply and neatly.

She shook her head with a smile, took out two boiled hot spring eggs from the net and handed them to Yui and Sakura, and then said: "She and I talked a lot, and I have thought a lot these days."

"Not just Konoha, I feel that every ninja village and the outside world are like two worlds. It seems that everyone in the ninja village can live and work in peace and contentment. Even orphans, although their lives are more difficult, they can always have something to eat. It's very much like a paradise on earth. Right? But it’s very strange. Why do all the children in the village dream of becoming a ninja, as if there is no other way in life? Why is it that no one feels inappropriate when a twelve-year-old child is sent to the battlefield? "

Sakura frowned and said, "It's always been like this. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"It's always been like this?" Anri repeated the sentence softly and smiled noncommittally.

"As for people outside, they know that twelve-year-old children should be protected, but ordinary people can't protect their children at all. Years of war have caused countless people to be displaced. Some refugees can't survive, so they become bandits. As a result, banditry spread everywhere, which made it even more difficult for ordinary people who just wanted to live a normal life, so there were countless people who sold their sons and daughters - this is how Junko was sold into the Flower Street."

"It's strange, this world." Anri smiled, "The Ninja Village seems peaceful and peaceful, but children start to learn the art of killing at the age of six, and are sent to the battlefield at the age of twelve. Ninjas can only live past thirty. There are very few of them; ordinary people outside do not have to go to the battlefield to fight, but the famine and banditry caused by the war make it equally difficult for ordinary people to live past thirty."

"Three times." Anri raised three fingers and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Since the founding of Konoha, in just over sixty years, there have been three major wars in which all five major countries participated, not to mention small-scale conflicts and wars during the period. After all, in this world, whether you are a ninja armed with force or an unarmed ordinary person, you are all equally precarious."

Anri looked at the two people in front of her who seemed to be shocked, chuckled, and then continued: "Yui, Sakura, aren't you very curious about why I am in a bad mood recently, because I found-"

"This world is hell."

Yui and Sakura seemed to be shocked by Anri's speech. After being stunned for a long time, Yui slowly said: "What you said makes sense, Anri. This world shouldn't be like this..."

Anri sighed: "I hope that one day, children will no longer be sent to the battlefield, and people, regardless of their status, can live and work in peace and contentment on this land and live openly and honestly with their own hands."

Anri raised her head with sad eyes: "This is my dream, but now I can't think of a way to realize it..."

Xiaoying jumped over from the water, stuffed the peeled eggs into Anri's mouth, and then smiled: "You think about it slowly, don't be anxious, anyway, we are still too early to be thirty, remember to tell us if you figure it out. , we will definitely help you.”

Yui also nodded, then lowered her head and scratched her forehead: "I hope I have the chance to meet Miss Junko again. I owe her an apology."

Sakura nodded in agreement, then raised her hands and said excitedly: "Okay, we're almost done. Let's discuss the world peace plan in the long run. Now put on your yukata and go to the festival together!"

"I made a guide before I came here, so don't let it go to waste!" Yui said with a clenched fist and a look of joy on her face.

Anri was startled for a moment, then lowered her head and couldn't help but smile, smiling so widely that she even cried. After a while, she raised her hand to wipe away the hot tears from the corners of her eyes, and slowly said, "I heard that later on , there is also a fireworks show, we can’t miss it.”

The three of them changed into their yukata and came to the street. It was already dark, the festival had officially begun, and every stall was bustling with activity.

The three of them first walked to a dart throwing stall, and relying on their years of hard training in shuriken skills, they easily won the special prize - a teddy bear that was as tall as everyone else. Yui and Sakura held it. The giant bear was left in Anri's arms, and then they held hands and went to the water polo fishing stall. Although both of them were very good at controlling chakra, they were really poor at controlling the crochet paper rope. After Anri sealed the giant bear into the scroll, she bought a skewer of squid and ate it while wandering away. When they arrived at the shop, they saw that both of them had changed several paper ropes, but there were still not many water balloons in the basket. Anri couldn't help but let out a laugh, and then naturally, Sakura and Yui joined forces. Anri was being chased by others, but Anri couldn't dodge and was hit by several water balls. The squid in her hand was also snatched away.

"Two against one, it's not fair!" Anri complained angrily.

"Who told you to laugh at us? You deserve it!" Yui made a rogue face.

Anri reluctantly curled her lips, but she could only admit defeat.

The three of them were tired of playing around, so they walked to a dessert stall and each ordered a bowl of shaved ice. As they were eating, they suddenly saw a float slowly passing by. The place where the float passed was filled with colorful fallen flowers, and there was a flower on the float. The graceful geisha was dancing gracefully, and the three of them couldn't help but stare at it, but Anri suddenly clapped her hands and shouted: "The fireworks show is about to start. If you don't go, you won't be able to get a good viewing spot!"

So the three of them hurriedly stuffed the shaved ice into their mouths, got up and rushed to the square. When they arrived, they found that the square was already overcrowded. The three of them gritted their teeth, thinking that it was a rare visit, so they squeezed forward as hard as they could, and when they finally arrived, In the front row, the three of them had been squeezed into each other by the crowd——

Yui put her arms around Anri's waist, and Sakura clung to Yui's back.

The three of them wanted to move to a more spacious place, but at this moment the crowd suddenly became excited. They raised their heads and saw that the night sky was suddenly lit up, and there were gorgeous fireworks one after another in the night. is blooming.

So they watched the entire fireworks show closely together.

When they returned to the hotel, the three of them were exhausted. After saying good night to each other, they went back to their rooms. Anri stretched her body, walked to the window, looked at the full moon in the sky, and couldn't help but curl her lips.

At this time, a sparrow flew to her window - it was Sparrow Thirteen!

Anri took off the note tied to Que Shisan's leg and slowly opened it. It read:

Genbu built a hidden laboratory in the Land of Thunder, and the experiments he conducted seemed strange, and seemed to be related to the Uchiha clan. We will talk about the details after meeting.

Anri turned the paper to the back and saw a place name written on it.

She sighed and burned the paper to ashes.

She closed the window, lowered her head, smiled self-deprecatingly, covered her face and murmured: "For a few moments, I really wanted to be a Konoha ninja..."

"ridiculous!"

She raised her head again, her eyes were cold.
