When night fell, Aoba finally cleaned up all the remaining stones and dirt with great difficulty. He took the small money he had and walked home with a silly smile.
There was no one else in this world who had crossed over with a golden finger.
If he met a transmigrator senior, he would probably have to bow 90 degrees and say, "I'm sorry, I've embarrassed the army of transmigrators!"
In fact, Aoba did not want to do this either, but who asked him to set up a dog system that was always thinking about how to explode on the spot? If he did not want to die, he could only rely on himself to finish the suicide mission.
He only hoped that this dog system would not play any tricks before he mastered the life-saving ability, and then he would burn incense!
.....
After returning home, he first looked at the 'little trap' that he had learned from the movies and TV dramas in the past. After making sure that no one had entered his room during his time away from home, he breathed a sigh of relief and went to wash up and prepare to sleep.
In fact, he was not sure whether it was useful to put a strand of hair on the ground or not. After all, in this world, those high-ranking ninjas had many tricks to sneak in.
However, what he wanted to guard against was not the ninjas, but the civilians who liked to steal and loot.
After all, the commoner district was far away from the bustling central street, and the people living there were all from all walks of life. Only God knew if anyone had their eyes on him during this period of time.
It was fine if they wanted money, but if he was killed, he really did not know where to cry for injustice.
Therefore, he had to be careful.
After taking a bath, he first hid the money he earned today in a special place. Then, he looked at his scarred hands and his right shoulder that had been accidentally hit by a falling stone. He sighed.
It was not easy to earn some money!
Fortunately, his [Poor Quality Self Healing Body] could play a role at this time. Otherwise, he would not be able to work tomorrow.
"Sleep, sleep!"
After gulping down a large box of milk, Aoba burped and immediately fell asleep.
....
After Aoba fell asleep, a figure stood in front of the window and looked inside through the moonlight. His eyes were a little complicated.
If Aoba opened his eyes at this time, he would be able to see that Mikawa, who had not been heard for several days, was standing there, thinking about something.
What Aoba didn't know was that Mikawa hadn't been out on any missions these past few days, but had been hiding in the dark watching him, including the mocking and ridicule of the people around him, as well as the situation when he went out to find work and encountered many obstacles.
In fact, if he hadn't hesitated over and over again, he would have mentioned this situation to the Hokage.
This job of cleaning up the gravel was still not up to a five-year-old brat to do.
And this was just a matter of a few words for the Hokage-sama.
Moreover, Mikawa had done more than that. Every day, before Aoba went over, he would go to the bottom of the Hokage Rock first, and then break all the relatively large falling stones in advance so that it would be convenient for Aoba to come over and clean them up later.
Otherwise, with Aoba's current strength, how could he be qualified to do this kind of hard work?
Aoba did not know all of this. He thought that his luck was good. Not only did he meet a kind person, but he also did not encounter the predicament of being unable to move, nor did he encounter any great danger.
And Mikawa did not know why he was so concerned about a little brat who had nothing to do with him.
When Lord Sandaime gave him such a task, he was so disgusted that he even contradicted Sandaime in front of him and wanted to give up.
But now he clearly did not need to do this. As long as Aoba did not cause trouble like last time, they could live their own lives.
"So... I am probably crazy."
Mikawa's figure disappeared in an instant, and the sigh also drifted away with the wind.
......
Fortunately, he used to cook some home-cooked dishes. Otherwise, his expenses in this area would double, which made Aoba very glad.
But just as he took the money and pushed open the door to go out, a person who surprised him stood outside.
"Itachi? Why are you here? No, I mean, why did you come so late? I have waited for you for many days."
The one who stood outside looking around was none other than Uchiha Itachi, who was considered by Aoba as one of the future 'protectors'.
To be honest, for so many days, Itachi had not been able to find him, which made Aoba mistakenly think that the other party was just being polite.
Seeing that Aoba was very happy to come over and greet him, Itachi could not mantain his cold face for a moment. He also smiled and greeted, "Good morning, Aoba. I was going to come to find you the next day, but Father arranged a lot of cultivation tasks for me. I didn't finish all of them until yesterday. It's so late."
"Hey! I say! I almost thought that you didn't want to treat me to food, so you didn't come to find me. You came at the right time. Today, I'm going out to make a big purchase. In a while, you can help me share the burden. Is that okay?"
Aoba directly interrupted what Itachi wanted to say. He put his arm around the other person's shoulder and walked out.
Itachi seemed to be a little unaccustomed to this kind of excessive intimacy. He struggled a little, but he was afraid of hurting Aoba. He was even more afraid of making Aoba misunderstand. So in the end, he followed Aoba half-heartedly.
It had to be said that Itachi was really too precocious. Moreover, his mind was delicate and sensitive. He cared too much about other people's feelings and ignored himself. Moreover, everything was hidden in his heart, so at a young age, he was suppressed by too much responsibility and pressure that he could not breathe.
It could be said that Aoba's appearance allowed him to relax and no longer suppress his own channels.
This was something that even the current Itachi did not notice.
....
And just as Aoba and Itachi left with their arms around each other, two members of Uchiha's clan appeared in an instant.
"The Clan Leader said that something was wrong after Itachi returned home last time. It seems that the source should be this commoner youth."
"En, you continue to follow. I will go back and report to the clan leader."
"Humph! How can a dignified member of Uchiha's family be so close to this kind of person? If I want to say it, I should just kill him directly."
"Although you say so, now that the new Hokage has been promoted, the clan leader and the others are all planning a big operation. If something goes wrong, ten of you will not be enough to kill. So don't act rashly. Wait until I ask the clan leader."
The two of them looked at each other and then immediately began to move separately.
