Under Madara's gentle narration, time passed by like a stream without stopping.
In the quiet classroom, the students' thoughts were drawn to the magnificent era of village building - the bloody battle between the Senju and Uchiha clans, the acquaintance of Madara and Hashirama, the friendship and breakup by the Minamiga River, the endless war and the death of relatives and friends, the desire for peace and the weariness of war, and how this small village called Konoha, which embodies everyone's hope, was established and built.
No one can understand that era better than Uchiha Madara, who experienced it firsthand.
At this time, no one would complain about the dullness and boredom of history. Under Madara's narration, the heavy history was particularly interesting.
The children's breathing rose and fell with Madara's narration, and they imagined how the ninjas of that era struggled to survive and sought hope in the midst of survival.
This is not just the story of Hashirama and Madara, or the family history of Senju and Uchiha, but also the history of the Warring States Period that these children's parents and grandparents have personally experienced, dragging countless ninjas and civilians into it.
Dingling——
Until the bell rang on time, the children were still immersed in this period of history, still a little unsatisfied. They looked eagerly at Uchiha Madara on the podium, with a clear and clean look in their eyes, hoping that he could say more.
"Class dismissed."
However, Uchiha Madara seemed to have not seen this desire at all. He didn't even look at the group of children. He picked up his things and turned away, leaving only a cool and cold back to everyone, and then left with Hashirama who was waiting at the door.
Seeing that both teachers had left, the students in the classroom looked at each other and exchanged opinions with their eyes. Now that the teacher was suddenly gone, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
For a while, the classroom was full of flirtatious glances, and everyone was flirting with each other. This scene was very disgusting.
Shen Yue silently stretched out a hand and covered her eyes tightly to avoid everyone's flirtatious glances. She was speechless now. For some reason, everyone seemed to want to exchange glances with her, and she clearly saw that someone even secretly gave her a kiss.
Ugh! Do these little brats in the ninja world have to be so precocious?
Suddenly, a muffled sound like thunder and a drum roared in the classroom, and everyone was startled, almost thinking that it was thunder in broad daylight.
Soon, there was another roar. This time, the eyes of the students who had been prepared for it were all focused on the source of the sound. They saw the fat boy Qiu Daoqufeng holding his growling stomach pitifully. Noticing that everyone was looking at him, his face suddenly turned red like a monkey's buttocks. He lowered his head and said in a low voice embarrassedly:
"Can we have lunch now?"
Shen Yue turned her head to look at the early sky outside the window, and then looked at the fat boy's stomach that was growling with hunger. In the end, she resigned herself to taking out the lunch box prepared by Huo He for her from the desk.
Well, he is like this, so he should eat.
In the poor Konoha Village, the school does not provide lunch at noon, of course, everyone eats the lunch boxes they bring with them.
Gathering together with the Uchiha friends, Shen Yue opened her lunch box, and saw two rice balls with plums and seaweed inside, and grilled salmon and thickly sliced pickled radish on the side, as well as a small handful of natto in the corner.
As soon as she saw the natto, Shen Yue's expression was distorted in an instant, and her pretty face wrinkled into a ball, and her appetite was mostly gone.
I really don't understand why Huo He didn't give up letting her eat natto?
"Uh, there's natto!"
"Uh, fish again!"
Uchiha Inari, who opened the lunch box, also made a disgusted sound. She looked at the grilled fish in the box and showed a very distorted expression.
This guy with a bad heart just narrowed his eyes and thought about it, then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the grilled fish and put it in his sister Miki's lunch box, and then she took away all the tamagoyaki in Miki's lunch box without any hesitation.
"Sister, I'll give you fish in exchange for the tamagoyaki."
"Meiqi, I'll give you the natto, and give me your radish."
Kamizuki, who was watching from the side, was inspired by this. She quickly picked up all the natto and put it in Miqi's lunch box, and took away all the radishes in her lunch box.
"Hey! Am I your trash can?"
Meiqi was immediately furious, and quickly held her lunch box high to prevent the two picky eaters from exchanging food with her.
"That's enough, you two!"
After a quiet snort, Kamzuki and Inari became obedient and quieted down., they both knew that if they dared to anger Miki again, she might be so angry that she would overturn the table and let everyone have nothing to eat.
Uchiha Miki, who was angry, could do anything.
Without natto, she continued to lose her appetite. Shen Yue picked up a rice ball and took a bite. She chewed the cold rice carefully, and it was a bit tasteless.
Huo He's cooking skills were just enough to eat, and it could only be said that it was not enough to kill people. Considering that this man who had never cooked before only learned to cook after having her precious daughter, she should not have more requirements for him.
Shen Yue tasted some flavor from it bite by bite. The rice was paired with sour plum juice and crispy seaweed. The taste was okay, but she still liked to eat hot food, and she was still a little uncomfortable with the cold bento.
After finishing a whole rice ball, Shen Yue looked up and looked around, somewhat curious about what everyone's meals were like.
I don't know if it's because they all came from the ninja clan, or because Konoha's supplies are really scarce, everyone eats the same thing, nothing more than the old three sets of rice, grilled fish, and pickled radish.
Among this group of people, two people are particularly conspicuous. The fat boy Akimichi Tofu's lunch box has three layers and eats a lot, and the people of the Nara family actually have venison to eat!
Wow, it's venison! So greedy!
Shen Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, looking at the greasy, roasted and crispy venison, she secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
In this hellhole of Konoha, except for the Nara clan who raise deer and the Aburame clan who raise insects, almost no one is engaged in breeding.
If you want to eat meat, you can only go hunting in the forest or buy it from foreign merchants. It was fine at the beginning, but after a few years, the wild beasts around Konoha had been eaten clean by the hungry ninjas, and the meat from foreign merchants was not fresh and expensive, which was not cost-effective at all.
As a result, the fresh fish fished from the Nanga River near Konoha has almost become the preferred meat source for the major ninja clans.
In Konoha now, almost everyone has fish on their table, but this is not because they like to eat fish, but because they can only eat fish!
Not only Shen Yue, several envious eyes were cast on the lunch box of the Nara clan, especially Akimichi Tofu, who was sitting next to him, with a pair of round eyes wide open, drooling, and looking like he wanted to bury his head in his lunch box to eat meat.
This lazy guy was eating slowly, and suddenly being stared at by so many people made him uncomfortable. He quickly stuffed all the venison in the lunch box into his mouth and swallowed it all with a gulp.
Retracting her envious and somewhat jealous gaze, Shen Yue picked up a piece of grilled salmon with chopsticks and bit it angrily. Just as she was struggling to chew the unpalatable fish meat that was overcooked by Huo He, she suddenly noticed that Yakushi Chiharu had been lying on the seat and had never taken out her lunch box to eat lunch.
"Chiharu, don't you want to eat lunch?"
Taking her own lunch box, Shen Yue quietly sat down on the seat next to Chiharu. Seeing Chiharu lying down with her head down, she poked her shoulder with a finger with some concern.
"...It's Shen Yue."
Yakushi Chiharu raised her head from her arms, and her brown eyes under the glasses reflected a gentle light.
"Don't worry, I brought lunch."
After saying that, she took out a small wooden lunch box from the rag bag, but did not mean to open it.
This successfully aroused Shen Yue's curiosity. She looked around at the mysterious little box, like a black kitten with extreme curiosity, always wanting to secretly stretch out her claws and peek into the secrets in the box when her owner was not paying attention.
However, Shen Yue did not open the box rashly. She just kept peeking at it eagerly, thinking that she was hiding it well. Seeing Shen Yue's overly curious look, Qian Xia sighed and opened the little box with a frown.
"..... What is this?!"
When the lunch box was opened, Shen Yue's curious expression froze on her face - Qian Xia's lunch box was a yellow and green lunch that looked like vomit.
Looking at the overcooked, swollen plant particles that could only be barely distinguished in the box, but the original shape of the paste-like thing could not be seen at all, Shen Yue felt nauseous in her chest and retreated in horror.
How could this be something for people to eat!
"It's mixed grain rice."
Pharmacist Qianxia subconsciously clenched her hands. Her clasped hands were clenched so tightly that even her finger bones were a little painful, but her expression was still gentle and calm. Facing Shen Yue's question, she was silent for a moment, but finally responded to the question.
"Mixed grains?"
"It's millet and barnyard grass."
"Barnyard grass? That's notSomething edible, right? "
Even if Shen Yue had no common sense, she knew that weeds in rice fields, such as barnyard grass, were either pulled out and thrown away or fed to livestock. How could people eat such things?
What Shen Yue could not have imagined was that in fact, not only Chinatsu, who was born in an orphanage, but also Kazuko, whom she knew, and the civilians living in Konoha, all ate this kind of millet rice mixed with a lot of barnyard grass for two meals a day.
What she could not imagine, lacking common sense, was that for the vast majority of civilians in the Land of Fire, rice was actually an absolute luxury. Only nobles, big businessmen, and people like her who came out of the country could afford it. A delicacy that only ninjas from big clans can enjoy.
"This, this..."
Do the children in the orphanage eat this kind of thing? What about Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju? Won't they come to take care of it?
Looking at the things in the lunch box that she thought were not things at all, Shen Yue's face became extremely bad.
Thinking that Chinatsu had been eating such disgusting things, Shen Yue quickly took out the rice ball that she had not eaten from her lunch box and handed it to Chinatsu.
"Chinatsu, I'm full just now, eat it for me, otherwise it will be wasted."
"Shen Yue, thank you, but I can't accept your kindness."
Looking at the rice ball in Shen Yue's hand, Chinatsu's eyes flashed with yearning for a moment, and instinctively wanted to reach out for it, but she quickly shook her head firmly and declined Shen Yue's kindness.
"Everyone in the orphanage eats the same thing. Whether it's the dean, the nanny, or the children, we survive by eating this kind of food. "
Qi Xia picked up her lunch box, took out her chopsticks, and began to swallow this lump of food that was more like porridge than rice into her mouth bit by bit.
"If I eat your rice ball now, although I will be very happy when eating, I will definitely feel guilty and regretful after eating it. My family members haven't eaten such a meal yet, how can I leave them alone to eat it?"
Seeing Shen Yue still trying to throw the rice ball into her bowl, Qian Xia smiled gently, but firmly refused Shen Yue's feeding. She thought about it, leaned against Shen Yue, and the two of them leaned against each other, whispering quietly:
"Secretly tell you, eating white rice is actually my ideal! When I become a ninja and make a lot of money, I will definitely eat with everyone."
"At that time, Shen Yue, you will come too, okay?"
