Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

A few days later, in the Rain Country, a town that had been preserved intact amidst the war.

Patter, patter——!

"It's raining again……"

Pedestrians walking on the street murmured to themselves and took out their raincoats and put them on as if it was normal.

A dirty little hand suddenly reached out, accompanied by a low pleading sound.

"Please, please."

The man looked up at the owner of the little hand, a little blue-haired girl in tattered and dirty clothes.

Her small body trembled slightly in the cold rain, like a homeless stray cat soaked by the rain.

"War orphans."

This person has realized that there are more and more war orphans like the blue-haired girl who have lost their parents and are living on the streets recently...

"Please... please be kind... I haven't eaten for days."

The blue-haired little girl curled up when he stared at her, and then, as if she mustered up the courage, she prayed softly.

Her little hands were timid, as if they were young sprouts growing out of the soil, ready to shrink back at any time.

"Ugh……"

The man sighed and wanted to tell the little girl to get out, but he suddenly remembered something, so he bowed slightly and said to the blue-haired girl: "Come on, I'll show you a way."

"what?"

The blue-haired girl looked confused.

"You walk straight ahead along this street, then turn right, then right, and then turn left again. You will see a house that is neither too big nor too small, and there are many people queuing there."

"You can get food if you go there. Don't say I won't help you. I don't have much food left. I can only survive on my own. It's already very kind of me to show you the way!"

After giving his instructions, the man walked away without caring whether the blue-haired little girl could understand him or not, and even felt complacent about his own guidance.

In this kind of world, I am indeed a rare good person!

He didn't notice at all that while he was talking to the blue-haired girl, a little boy with orange hair quietly walked up behind him and stole his wallet...

"Which girl should I go play with today~ Hehe~"

The man walked away with a silly smile on his face.

The expression of the blue-haired little girl who stayed where she was gradually changed from pity to suppressed joy. She exchanged a glance with the orange-haired little boy, and while no one was paying attention, she quickly ran to a dark corner, hid behind the garbage, and began to count their gains.

"How come it's only 532 taels..."

After opening his wallet, Yahiko was disappointed: "Last time, that person still had more than 2000 taels."

This amount of money is actually not a small amount, enough for two people to live for a week, but after a week, they have to find another way.

Yahiko, who considers himself as an older brother and feels that he should take care of his younger sister, is under a lot of pressure!

"Ah... But it's okay, let's go, Xiaonan!"

He quickly calmed down and said, "We have to get out of here quickly."

They are war orphans living in this rainy country, helpless and brought together by chance, and then struggling to survive.

At first they wanted to beg for food honestly, but instead of getting any food, they were beaten a few times. Then Yahiko got his senses and started stealing for righteous reasons.

Although Xiaonan didn't want him to do this, it was difficult to maintain a high moral bottom line when he was hungry.

So the two of them would go to a town, steal some food like little mice, and then immediately slip away to the next town.

They don't know how long this kind of life can last, but this is the only way to survive...

However, today is a little different.

"Yahiko, I want to go to the place that person mentioned." Xiaonan said hesitantly, "It's the place he said... the place where you can get food."

"Why are you still so naive, Xiaonan? That man is so unreliable, how can you take what he says seriously?"

Yahiko was quite speechless: "What kind of place is there to distribute food? We have encountered this before. Those guys pretended to distribute food, but actually wanted to sell children to some unknown organization to train them as assassins. In this country, there are no such kind people!"

Yahiko felt very miserable living in such a gloomy and desperate country. He wanted to change everything, but there was no way.

The only way to survive is by such despicable means.

Although he is optimistic by nature, what he has experienced in the past few days has made this young boy a little discouraged.

"But I still want to go and see..."

Xiaonan said firmly: "Didn't you say that, don't give up hope no matter what."

"Well, okay, then I'll go, and you observe secretly. If anything goes wrong, you run first, and I will always find a way to get away." Yahiko sighed, but still agreed to her request.

There's no way. As an older child, sometimes I still have to give in to the younger ones.

It couldn't get any worse anyway.

"Ok!"

Xiaonan nodded vigorously, a smile on her little face, like a daffodil blooming in the rain.

The place was not far away, and the two found it without much effort.

It was indeed as that person said, this was a house of neither big nor small, but now on the street, there was a queue of neither long nor short people lined up in an orderly manner.

"It should be right here."

“So many people are queuing!”

Yahiko looked around and asked Konan to hide in a hidden corner. Then he quietly lined up at the end of the team and moved with the team.

There was a faint aroma of rice in the air, it seemed that porridge was being served here. Smelling this soothing smell, Yahiko's heart somehow became calm.

They actually served porridge directly... This is quite rare.

He muttered in his mind.

Rice is a scarce commodity nowadays. Many people can only eat vegetable soup with carrots. Rice is something that only ninjas can eat.

No wonder so many people are queuing here!

The team advanced in an orderly manner, and before he knew it, Yahiko had reached the top ten. He suddenly heard the sound of silver coins falling on the table in front of him, and his heart skipped a beat.

"This big brother..."

He cautiously asked the person in front of him: "Does the porridge here cost money?"

"Of course."

The man in front said as a matter of course, then turned around and saw Yahiko's appearance: "Oh, war orphans like you don't need to collect money. These two kind people from Konoha have good hearts."

"From Konoha? But... isn't Konoha at war with us?" Yahiko frowned, feeling something was wrong.

"Who cares! The ones fighting are ninjas, what does it have to do with us civilians?"

The man thought it was nothing: "Besides, they have been posting here for several days, and this is the rule."

"Oh……"

Yahiko suppressed his doubts and thanked him repeatedly.

"Next!"

Finally it was his turn. Yahiko cheered up and the people in front of him made way so that he could see clearly the person who was distributing porridge.

He was a boy with messy black hair, about the same age as me. His eyes were always narrowed and there seemed to be a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.

Next to the boy, there was a silent, fair-skinned, pretty girl helping him.

Are there only two people?

Yahiko was somewhat surprised and impressed, then he asked uneasily:

"Um, excuse me, could you give me an extra bowl? My sister is still waiting for me..."

"it is good."

Ito Toru readily agreed, and then used a large spoon to scoop two large bowls of thick lean meat and vegetable porridge from the porridge bucket next to him, and swiftly put them into the lunch box made of paper by Yukina on the spot, and then put them in a paper bag and handed them to Yahiko: "Your two servings of porridge."

"Ah? Thank you, thank you..."

Yahiko took it a little dazedly, with a blank expression.

Did you really give it like this?

So straightforward, no other additional requirements?
