Konoha Sheriff

"Itachi-kun?"

Quan seemed to sense something. She subconsciously turned her head and stared at the street behind her, only to find that the street behind her was empty.

"what happened?"

Someone who obviously knew everything well had a curious look on his face at this moment, and he loosened his grip on the other person's wrist without leaving a trace.

After all, she was just a 13-year-old girl. If she had done this in her previous life, she would have been arrested by the police for questioning.

Beichen realized that he didn't have any bad XP, so the movements of his hands were extremely crisp.

Quan looked at his free wrist and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't help but blush.

Except for the night of the Kyuubi, this seemed to be the first time she had been held by someone of a similar age.

"No, nothing..."

Quan put his hands behind his back and gently grabbed the lunch box in his hand, lowering his head and feeling confused.

Quan, what happened to you just now?

How could you let a guy who had only met you twice grab your hand?

You were clearly able to break free just now, why did you get so confused...

Complaining and complaining, Quan subconsciously raised his head and stared at Beichen with a vicious look.

It's all this guy's fault, why...why...

The dissatisfied eyes that were originally dissatisfied quickly melted away visibly when seeing that profile face with no flaws under the moonlight...

At this moment, Izumi Uchiha quickly realized one thing. Forgetting to struggle was not her problem.

This is... physiological instinct, yes, it is physiological instinct.

"Have you seen enough? If you don't come in, I will close the door?"

Beichen was used to Uchiha Izumi's confusion. In the past three years, he would encounter such problems almost every time he talked to women.

"Ah? Oh..."

After Quan came back to his senses, he looked at Beichen who was leaning on the door frame. Two wisps of red clouds appeared on his pretty face unconsciously, and he immediately trotted into the yard of Beichen's house with Beichen.

…………

Following Beichen through the relatively spacious courtyard and the classic Japanese corridor, Quan's little head looked around unconsciously:

"Minister Beichen, your family is really big..."

The 13-year-old girl expressed her sincere admiration.

Because Quan's father was a foreigner and died on the night of the Nine-Tails, after the tribe moved, Quan and his mother, an orphan and widowed mother, were only assigned a small dwelling.

This experience caused the girl to have a different obsession with having a big house since she was a child.

"It's just a standard garden that is distributed to jounin families as usual. When you become a jounin in the future, you can also have a garden like this."

Beichen answered somewhat casually.

But when this answer fell in Quan's ears, it caused ripples in the little girl's heart:

"Minister Beichen, what you just meant was...does someone like me have a chance to become a Jonin?"

Quan looked at Beichen with hopeful eyes, eagerly hoping that Beichen could give a clear answer.

No one has ever said to her "You have the qualifications to become a jounin" before.

Not just her, it can be said that all the Ninja School students of their generation are a group of people who extremely lack a sense of identity.

Uchiha Itachi, who graduated directly from ninja school and became a genin after only one year of ninja school, was the shadow of their lives.

With such a gem in front of them, no matter what they do, they will not be taken seriously, because no matter what, they will not be as powerful as Itachi.

Beichen didn't consider this aspect. He just looked at Quan strangely and said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"Isn't that a sure thing?"

Come on, Uchiha Izumi in the original book opened his eyes to the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and the three Magatamas were activated on the night of the genocide, okay?

This kind of talent can be said to be at least on par with Erzhu, not to mention Yiqi Juechen, whose entire clan was slaughtered and opened his double magatama.

With me here in this life, things like the night of genocide will definitely not happen.

With Izumi's talent, it wouldn't be difficult to reach the Jonin realm before the plot begins in ten years.

There is no doubt about it...Does Minister Beichen think so highly of himself?

This sentence echoed repeatedly in Quan's mind, and the red glow on his face almost dyed his crystal round earlobes red.

They must be just polite words to comfort themselves!

But what value does a mediocre girl like me have that deserves the comfort of Minister Beichen’s words? It can’t be...

Glancing at the grooming mirror placed at the entrance, I saw that my figure in the mirror, which was already considered tall among peers, was barely even with Minister Beichen's shoulders.

There seemed to be nothing particularly outstanding about her "ordinary" face. Looking down at the steamed buns on her chest, the girl's remaining self-confidence was completely gone.

"Haha... Minister Beichen is really good at comforting people." (?_?)

"Comfort?" Beichen glanced at the little girl strangely, still not realizing how much ripples his words would cause in the ears of a girl who was extremely lacking in self-confidence and whose brain theater was extremely active:

"This is no consolation. With your talent, you just need to focus more on training, and your strength will not increase much slower than Shisui and I."

"Huh?!" The girl suddenly showed an unusually surprised expression.

What does "just focus more on cultivation" mean?Is Minister Beichen trying to beat himself up?

Could it be that Minister Beichen had been paying attention to him a long time ago?Did you already know about yourself and Itachi?In this case, everything in the training ground of the police force that day was not a coincidence...

The theater in the brain began to spontaneously play scenes from certain idol dramas. The red glow on the girl's face seemed to speed up the attack on the city a little faster. The CPU in the brain seemed to be emitting bursts of steam due to the excessive speed.

"Are you OK?"

Beichen, who came back with tea, was startled by the "Steam Girl" in front of him, and subconsciously reached out with the back of his hand to touch her forehead.

The device temperature is too high! ! !

Sansan took back the back of his hand that was placed on the other person's forehead. Beichen looked at the girl who suddenly fainted on the ground, and suddenly felt worried about the physical fitness of Konoha's new generation.

Turning around and going back to the room, he soaked a clean towel and put it on the girl's forehead. After thinking about it for a while, Beichen picked up the lunch box wrapped in blue cloth.

Opening the lunch box, the exquisite Japanese bento was immediately presented in front of Beichen:

"Tamakoyaki, tempura... and even the classic octopus sausage."

I picked up a fried shrimp and put it in my mouth. Although the batter hanging on the outside was soft, the overall taste was still good.

"Hmm~ I'm surprised by my skill!"
