Uchiha girl, ignites a group pet war in Konoha

Today, a very strange scene also appeared in Konoha.

In the surprised eyes of the Konoha villagers, several Uchiha in black clothes and black hair were seen walking quickly through the streets and alleys of Konoha.

They held baskets full of rice in their hands and bags full of rice on their backs, and hurriedly sent the food in their hands back to the Uchiha clan. After a moment, they rushed out again with empty baskets and returned along the original way.

This strange scene naturally attracted the enthusiastic onlookers of the Konoha villagers. They watched these Uchiha who were as diligent as worker bees to bring food back to the clan. Deep in their hearts, they emerged strong envy and even jealousy. A huge question kept fermenting in their hearts, that is -

Where did the Uchiha get so much food?

In the afternoon, when the ninja school was over, Madara, who had completely finished his work, was about to return to the Uchiha clan with Shenyue, and he also encountered a very strange scene.

As they walked back to the clan land, civilians and ninjas kept casting envious and jealous glances at them. In just a few steps, the sights of the passing crowds were like needles, scanning them straight and straight, making it difficult for people to ignore them.

Shen Yue was a little surprised, raised her head and vigilantly scanned the villagers around her.

I saw that the eyes of these people were flashing with a faint green light, which was full of envy, jealousy, exploration and greed. Various emotions were mixed together, radiating an extremely complex emotional color.

Shen Yue, who was stared at by this weird gaze, couldn't help but speed up her pace and wanted to escape, but there were wolves in front and tigers behind. She had just escaped the sight of a wave of villagers, and she was greeted by another wave of ninjas' attention. Such a posture was simply a net of heaven and earth, dense and pervasive.

"Master..."

Being stared at by this gaze until her back felt cold, Shen Yue reached out and tugged at the corner of Uchiha Madara's clothes with some uneasiness.

Madara bent down and picked up Shen Yue, patting her back gently as if to comfort her, while glancing unhappily at the villagers who didn't know what to do.

His eyes were as cold as steel and as hard as rock. Anyone who dared to meet his cold and hard gaze would feel as if their heart was being squeezed. In just a moment, the crowd who were watching the moment before fled in fear.

"Humph."

Looking at the fleeing figures of these mobs indifferently, Madara snorted coldly, and his eyes also revealed a look of disgust.

"Master?"

Madara lowered his head, and Shen Yue raised her childish face in his arms, with doubts and confusion in her big black and white eyes.

"It's okay, go back."

After adjusting his hug, Madara simply jumped up from the ground, ran along the eaves, and rushed towards the clan's land.

Inside the Uchiha clan's land, there was another completely different scene.

On the clean and neat streets, the Uchiha clan members who were passing by had rosy faces, and their mouths and eyes showed smiles that could not be suppressed at all. The faint haze that often lingered in their eyes had melted away a lot.

At this moment, when they saw Madara and Shenyue who had returned to the clan, they actually took the initiative to come forward and chattered about how they were. They looked like they were collectively possessed by the annoying uncles and aunts and gossiping gossips of the Senju.

"Clan leader, you are back!"

"Sir Shenyue is back too."

"Have you eaten?"

"What did Madara teach in school?"

"Sir Shenyue, what did you learn in school today?"

Although the chat method was very low-level and stiff, how could these proud and arrogant monsters who wanted to save face express their concern so actively? Normally, even if they met the clan leader, they would just have a cold face, nod and say "Hello, clan leader" as a greeting, and at most bow.

This abnormal phenomenon made Shenyue and Madara feel numb. It was actually a very scary thing to see the familiar cold men and women suddenly melt.

It was really unsuitable for Uchiha to be so disgusting.

What's going on? Why do they all look so happy?

Did gold fall from the sky?

Lying in Madara's arms, surrounded by smiling faces, Shenyue's eyes were a little dull and confused.

What she didn't know was that in the morning, Kazuko and the others not only handed over a large amount of millet, but also sent persimmons, chestnuts, wild honey from the mountains, radishes, beans and wild vegetables they planted and picked themselves, as well as mature herbs, rabbits, pheasants and many other local products.

At noon, they took out a lot of refined rice and jam, borrowed the steamers from several Uchiha families, built a stove on the spot with the help of the ninjas, and made a lot of rice cakes for the people.As they ate, the whole clan was filled with the sweet smell of rice and jam.

For the first time, the Uchiha were flattered by ordinary people instead of being feared and hated. They were almost a little overwhelmed. Although they didn't show it on their faces, they were very happy in secret.

Of course, the happiest person was Huo He, who was in charge of the bills of the whole clan.

Looking at the grains piled up in several warehouses, he roughly calculated that so much grain could almost make the whole clan worry-free for the first and second half of the year!

In turbulent times, food is always the most troublesome problem.

In the current Fire Country, on the one hand, money is worthless, and on the other hand, food is too precious.

Almost all the food in the country is concentrated in the hands of daimyo and nobles. They can't eat so much food themselves, so they let a large amount of fresh rice rot in the warehouse. As for the surplus food in the hands of farmers, it was bought by merchants at a low price during the harvest, and sold at a high price when there was a shortage.

Let alone the peasants who were exploited, ninjas were also victims of this system.

They needed a lot of food to ensure their energy supply, but the mission money they earned in exchange for their lives seemed high, but once the expenses of ninja tools, herbs, and medicine were deducted, there was actually not much left.

This little money could not buy enough food, so in order to have enough food, ninjas had to maintain a high intensity of mission acceptance, but the number of missions in the ninja world was limited after all, and they had to do everything they could to eliminate competitors and use all means to gain the trust of the powerful.

Since Izuna's death, Huo He, who was forced to take his place, often had a headache about the family's expenses and wanted to bang his head against the wall.

But now, he found that once he saved the money he had to spend on buying food in the past six months, the largest expenditure on the account would suddenly disappear, and the remaining hole could not only be filled directly, but also a lot of money could be saved.

What a wonderful plan!

After figuring out the key points, Huo He was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He realized that the wonderful thing about this plan was that the supply of food was not a one-time thing, but a continuous one.

As expected of my precious daughter Shen Yue, she is really smart!

If the cost of buying food can be completely saved, then the money can be invested more in the tribe to improve the lives of the tribe members. Whether it is cultivating a new generation or ensuring the retirement of the old generation, this is undoubtedly an advantage, which can make Uchiha far ahead of other ninjas.

Ninjas are very short of money, and food is a wealth more precious than money.

A half-barreled jar is worth a thousand taels of gold, and there is no panic in the heart if you have food in your hands.

Although they are in different worlds, the perception of Huo He is the same as this proverb.

"Sir Kamatsuki, Sir Madara."

Seeing Kamatsuki and Madara finally come back, Kazuko, who had been waiting in the clan land, hurried to greet them. The Uchiha who had surrounded them to ask about their well-being wisely made way and stopped hindering them.

"We have delivered all the food."

"So fast?"

I haven't even finished paying yet!

Shocked by the amazing efficiency and the high enthusiasm for paying taxes, Kamatsuki slightly widened her eyes. She originally thought that she would have to send people to collect taxes like the daimyo did.

On the way to the warehouse where the grain was stored with Kazuko, Kamatsuki smelled the sweet smell that permeated the clan land, which aroused her greed as a heavy sweet lover, and she couldn't help asking:

"What smells so sweet?"

Kazuko smiled mysteriously, and she didn't answer, but led Madara, who was holding Kamatsuki, into the yard outside the warehouse.

The stoves that had just been set up at noon had been turned off at this time, and only one was still hot.

On the bench nearby, the Uchiha cubs who returned to the clan before Shenyue and Madara were sitting there obediently, chewing on a piece of rice cake each.

When they saw the clan leader holding Shenyue appear at the corner, they all stopped chewing the rice cakes, their big black eyes looked over here, but soon, they retracted their gaze and chewed on them together.

Not to mention Uchiha Madara, even if the Six Paths Sage came now, he couldn't stop them from chewing on them.

"I don't have any, it's too much!"

Seeing that everyone had rice cakes to eat, Shenyue was so envious that she was almost twisted. Such a sweet rice cake, but she didn't have it, she was really angry!

Hezi quickly took out a piece of still hot rice cake from the steamer nearby and handed it to the angry Shenyue.

"Sir Shen Yue, of course you have one too."

"Wow, it's so big!"

While chewing the rice cake in her hand, Misaki stared at the big rice cake with envy. This rice cake was particularly large, and it was obvious that it was specially made. It was as big as an adult man's hand.Seeing this, Madara put Shen Yue down from his arms. At this moment, she was full of rice cakes, and she couldn't wait to take the rice cake from Kazuko.

"It's so hot!"

As expected, Shen Yue was burned by the steaming fragrant rice cake, and even her small fingers turned red, and she almost cried.

She exhaled repeatedly, blowing on the rice cake and fingers for a long time, and then blew away some of the heat.

After her fingers adapted to the temperature, Shen Yue divided the big rice cake into two halves, and the orange-red inner core flowed out of the white and soft rice cake, which looked hot and fragrant, very tempting.

"Master, here you go!"

Shen Yue raised her head and returned to Uchiha Madara's side, handing the half rice cake to Madara. A sweet and playful smile appeared on her lips, carefree like a half-opened flower, exuding irresistible cuteness.

"Let's eat together."

"...Okay."

Taking the hot rice cake from Shen Yue, Ban took a bite of the sweet inner core, but the sweetness in his mouth was all in his chest.

Putting down the rice cake he had taken a bite of, Ban quietly watched Shen Yue happily squinting his eyes to enjoy the rice cake, which looked very satisfied like a little animal.

Really, do you like sweet things so much?

Although thinking so, Ban still took another bite of the rice cake, chewing slowly, quietly enjoying the sweetness.

He actually didn't hate this kind of sweet food, and he could even say that he liked it very much.
