"When that time comes, Shenyue, you can come too, okay?"

As long as she thinks of the beautiful future filled with hope and warmth, even if she can only use a schoolbag made of rags and eat hard-to-swallow grains, Yaoshi Qianxia can still live with a grateful heart and be firm and strong.

At this moment, she smiled lightly, the curve of her lips was extremely gentle, and she stared at Shenyue with cautious but slightly unnatural shyness.

Shenyue was the first person outside the orphanage who took the initiative to care about her. Qianxia hoped to become friends with this kind child, but she also knew that she, who was of humble status, could not be in the eyes of Shenyue, who came from the Uchiha clan.

Would she hate such a bold self?

As long as she thought that Shenyue might hate herself, Qianxia's heart felt like being beaten, but even if the hope was slim, she wanted to try anyway.

"No."

...Ah, is it really like this? That's right, how can people from big families look down on an orphan like me?

Qianxia lowered her head in frustration, wanting to cry but not having tears. She was so ashamed that she twisted her hands nervously, and her body was as stiff as a piece of rotten wood.

Qianxia, ​​who was born an orphan, suffered countless cold eyes and contempt. If it weren't for the dean's upbringing and love, she would probably die early, just like the countless orphans created by war and poverty in this era.

I'm too greedy to want friends!

Pharmacist Qianxia lowered her eyes weakly, almost crying with sadness and unwillingness, and at this moment, a slender and delicate snow-white hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"It won't take that long."

Shen Yue didn't notice Qianxia's frustration at all. She was completely immersed in her own world, talking to herself in words that others couldn't understand, and her brows were slightly frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

When her wrist was suddenly grabbed, Qianxia felt her mind go blank. She looked down at the hand that was holding her wrist, then looked up at Shenyue, who had a serious expression but a distracted look, and asked blankly.

"What are you talking about?"

"China, I promise you that before you become a ninja, I will make sure everyone can eat rice!"

After being called back to her lost soul by this question, Shenyue still held China's hand tightly. Her voice was low and her expression was serious, but her words were still incomprehensible.

At that moment, she reflected on her mistakes.

Shenyue thought that she had already understood the low and distorted productivity of the ninja world and the miserable situation of the civilians, but now it seems that she has overestimated it all.

The hateful and damnable degree of the daimyo and the nobles has been upgraded again!

However, it is not too late to know this now, and what does this show? Doesn't this fully show how important farming and hoarding land are, and how foresighted she, Uchiha Shenyue, is!

Since the ninja world is so short of food now, after the harvest, she can do whatever she wants and walk around with a lot of food in her hands.

At this time, Shen Yue already had a preliminary plan in her mind - in a few months, after the farmland has a big harvest, she will first take out a batch of food to aid the Konoha Orphanage and the lower-class civilians of Konoha, expand her influence and gather a group of refugees, and then let them plant more and bigger fields.

It must be said that farming is indeed an instinct deeply engraved in the soul of every flower-growing family. Even if she has traveled through time, Shen Yue still longs to plant land and vegetables from the bottom of her heart.

But now, she can only slow down, after all, seeds are not sown today and harvested the next day.

In the fields, under the cultivation of manpower, suitable weather and fertilizer, spring goes and autumn comes, spring flowers and autumn fruits, and the green seedlings of grains will nurture heavy fruits.

This is the iron law of nature that no one can defy, except for a certain wood escape user named Senju Hashirama.

Every time this happened, Shen Yue would be jealous of Senju Hashirama to the point of being unrecognizable.

You have Senju bloodline, I also have Senju bloodline, why don't I have Wood Release? Is it because I don't have Asura Chakra? Then I also have Uchiha bloodline and a sacred tree!

This is not fair at all!

When Shen Yue thought about the harvest that she had to wait for several months to obtain, maybe Hashirama could get it all with a clap of his hands, she was furious, but what she couldn't understand the most was actually this point.

Damn Senju Hashirama, how could he not use Wood Release to farm? Isn't this a waste of natural resources!

"...Huh?"

Although the brain understood Shen Yue's words, Yakushi Chinatsu, who was completely unable to understand emotionally and rationally, was stuck for a long time,She hummed a questioning word in a daze.

"You'll know when the time comes. Don't worry. It won't take long."

Shen Yue patted Qian Xia's stiff shoulders. She thought for a moment, threw the lunch box in her hand beside Qian Xia, and returned to her original position to look for her black schoolbag with the family emblem printed on it.

"Found it."

After searching for a while, Shen Yue took out the can of ginpeito that Hashirama gave her from her schoolbag. She shook the glass jar gently, and finally listened to the beautiful sound of the ginpeito colliding with the glass. She reluctantly opened the mouth of the jar, picked out a red candy and put it in her mouth.

With food, there will naturally be sugar and more wealth, but only after there are people, will there be all this.

Without people's cultivation, the land will only be land and will not produce food; without people's refinement, the sea water will only be sea water and no salt can be taken out.

No matter where you are, people are the most important.

"Brother Jing, have some candy."

Reaching out and tugging at the corner of Uchiha Jing's clothes, Shenyue picked out a blue candy and carefully placed it in his hand.

"Ah, is this for me? Thank you, Shenyue."

Taking this precious candy, Jing smiled shyly, his cheeks flushed.

But soon, his smile froze a little, because Shenyue picked out two more orange and purple candies in front of him and gave them to the Miki sisters.

"Miki, Inari, here."

"Ichima, Huoyan, these are yours."

In the blink of an eye, Shenyue gave out two more yellow candies and handed them to Uchiha Ichima and Huoyan.

"So generous, Master Shenyue, are you going to do something bad?"

"Go to hell, Inari, I'm just happy to share."

After distributing the candy to all the Uchiha cubs, Shenyue simply distributed the candy along the seats under the surprised eyes of the Uchiha cubs and all the students who gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Kotoshin, yours."

"I have one too?"

Holding the white konpeito in her hand, Hinata Kotoshin smiled shyly. She picked up the candy and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully. The refreshing sweetness blew away the bitterness that had been lingering in her heart.

Soon, most of the class got a small konpeito, and the rest were eagerly waiting to eat the candy, but Shenyue was in trouble when she saw them.

This was not because the konpeito in her hand was in urgent need, but because of these guys who were deliberately ignored by her, excluding the members of the Senju clan, there were only three people left, Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En.

Uh, if possible, I really don't want to share the candy with them.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Yue finally picked out three green konpeito and threw them in front of the three people.

If it weren't for the lack of black, she would have picked three black candies for these three guys who were as black as the bottom of the pot, that would be a perfect match.

"...Isn't this candy poisoned?"

Shimura Danzo stared at the green konpeito in front of him, fearing that there was some poison hidden in it, which would poison him to death if he ate it. Beside him, Mitomon En, who was eating candy non-stop, silently rolled his eyes.

"Eat it quickly. If you don't want it, I'll accept it!"

"No!"

Danzo immediately took the candy away and carefully placed it in his palm. He wanted to eat the candy but was afraid of being poisoned, so he struggled for a while.

"Why do I feel that something is wrong?"

Utane Koharu made a speechless sound, and simply grabbed the candy and stuffed it into her mouth, enjoying it happily.

"Ah, my candy!"

After going around in circles, the whole class joined the army of eating candy. At this time, the jar of konpei candy that was originally full was finally left with only a shallow layer.

Shaking the pitifully small jar of konpei candy, Shen Yue sat back next to Yakushi Chiharu again. She picked out a golden candy and handed it to her personally without allowing it to be refused.

"Everyone has eaten now, you should eat too, Chiharu."

"Huh?!"

Chiharu stared blankly at the candy in her hand, with surprise, shock, and disbelief flashing in her eyes. She wondered blankly:

Did Shenyue go around in circles just to let her eat a candy?

This thought made her freeze in place, and her hands holding the candy trembled a little.

No, how could there be such an incredible thing! How could there be such a stupid person!

Seeing Chiharu's dumbfounded look, Shenyue reached out and gently pushed her shoulder.

"Eat it quickly! Otherwise I'll be angry."

"Ah, okay, okay."

Chiharu, who was still in a daze, subconsciously put the candy into her mouth,Carefully, she licked it up with the tip of her tongue. The rich sweetness penetrated into her lungs silently. Qianxia couldn't help but lick it. The next second, she couldn't help but lick it again.

So this is what people call sweetness?

Qianxia, ​​who knew what sweetness tasted like for the first time in her life, suddenly felt sore in her eyes.

She stammered her lips silently, opened her mouth to say something, but couldn't say anything. In the end, she only let out a few sobbing breaths with her chest rising and falling.

This is so strange, Qianxia thought helplessly, the candy in her mouth is so sweet, but why does she feel so bitter and wronged in her heart, why does her tears keep dripping?

You can't cry. If you keep going like this, what if the candy in your mouth is also stained with the bitter taste of tears!

How could I waste such precious sweets? How could I fail Shen Yue's kindness? But the more I thought about it, the more Qian Xia's tears fell, like a flood that broke through the dam.

Seeing Qian Xia crying, Shen Yue didn't say anything. She took out her handkerchief and wiped away Qian Xia's tears silently.

"There will be a lot of candies in the future. Everyone can eat them. I promise."

She still made an incomprehensible promise, took out the kinpei sugar jar, and stuffed the remaining candies and the handkerchief into Qian Xia's hand.

"Take it back to your brother and sister. This is my gift to them."

"Thank you... Thank you..."

Qian Xia held the jar and handkerchief tightly. She bit her lips hard. For some reason, her heart was aching. Even breathing was so difficult and painful. However, hope and dawn were rising in this pain.

The sight wet with tears blurred the figure of the girl in front of her. Looking at this blurred figure, Chixia suddenly felt an infinite desire in her heart. She mustered up her courage again and pleaded carefully:

"Can you... hug me?"

Kamizuki did not answer yes or no, she answered this question with action - she opened her arms and embraced Chixia in her small arms.

Feeling the girl's warm and soft embrace, Chixia felt as if she was embracing the warm sunshine of mid-spring. She hugged Kamzuki's slender body back with force, and felt infinitely relieved.

Summoning up her courage, Chixia once again asked sincerely:

"Can we... be friends?"

"We are already friends!"

Finally, on this sunny afternoon, except for Sarutobi Hiruzen who was driven out of the classroom by Uchiha Madara and deliberately ignored by Kamzuki, the ninja school students and the children of the orphanage all ate the konpeito shared by Kamzuki.
