After a night of silence, Shinomiya Aoba slept very comfortably. He originally liked to sleep in an extremely quiet and dark environment because he couldn't feel the passing of time like this. During the holidays, it was the best.
The only flaw was that there wasn't even a pillow in this broken place. It was so uncomfortable.
He didn't know how long he slept. When he opened his eyes, a tall ninja with Konoha's forehead protector stood in front of him and examined him.
Aoba was shocked, but before he could say anything. He heard the person in front of him slowly say, "You are Shinomiya Aoba?"
Aoba nodded and thought, "Aren't you asking a question you already know?"
"At such a young age, he is ruthless, vengeful, and stubborn... Forget it, come with me."
Aoba knew that this should be the person who investigated his past and sent the information back. His every move during this time was seen by the people in the dark, but he did not know how to arrange him now.
Following the tall ninja all the way out, Aoba could see many people's frightened eyes. Presumably, the matter that happened last night had already spread. Now that he was taken away, he should be very lucky.
He did not care about this ate was not here to make friends. He always remembered that he was a spy. If he were entangled by feelings and caused him to fail the mission, even if Obito did not deal with him, the dog system would pull him to self-destruct!
"This kid is really too difficult, alas!"
"I will take him away."
The middle-aged aunt had eyes that were not eyes, a nose that was not nose. She looked at Shinomiya Aoba with disgust and then said snappily, "Hurry up and take this troublemaker away."
The tall Ninja did not say anything and walked forward directly.
However, after Aoba followed him, he turned around and gave the middle-aged woman who had locked him up a middle finger to show his respect.
If not for the fact that the dog system did not issue a mission this time, he would have rushed up and spat on her!
It was a little too much to carry out this punishment in the orphanage. It seemed that Konoha was not as glorious as it looked. Even if there were no Danzo and the others, this kind of dirty thing was unavoidable!
"Although Hokage-sama wants me to adopt you and educate you to become a talent, I want to hear your thoughts."
The tall Ninja suddenly stopped and turned to look at Aoba.
Aoba was stunned. He did not expect that the other party would say this, and he did not expect that someone had already arranged his future life.
Perhaps another person would agree. After all, there was no child who did not desire the warmth of family, let alone suddenly come to a strange place.
But he was different. He came here with other purposes. Being adopted would only implicate more innocent people. Moreover, suddenly having a father like this, he felt awkward from the bottom of his heart.
So he refused without hesitation.
"I can live well alone, so let it be. I think you are not satisfied with such a decision, so you asked me this."
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the tall ninja. He did not expect that a five-year-old child actually saw through his mind.
However, he had to admit that this kid was right. Although his child had died on the battlefield, he was not willing to use this method to extend his bloodline. Although he was just an ordinary Jonin, he could tell that this kid seemed to have some special talents.
"You are right. I don't want to adopt you, but it is not easy to refuse. But I still have to remind you, do you know what your choice means? I can give you another chance to choose."
"No need, I don't want to call a person who I have never met before father. But I have helped you so much, can you do me a favor?"
"Hmm? Tell me first."
"I don't want to go back to the orphanage, and I don't want to be adopted, so can you help me find a place to live?"
The tall Ninja was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered what he had seen him in the solitary confinement room and then sighed. Although these things were not under his control, some people still went too far. It seemed that it was necessary to mention it to the Hokage.
"Are you sure you want to live alone? In fact, I can help you find a family that is willing to adopt you and treat you well."
"Don't, don't. You also said that my character is too bad. Whoever adopts me will be in big trouble."
Thinking of this little brat's violent tendency, the tall Ninja was speechless and had a headache. It seemed that this was the only way.
"Come with me."
......
After a while, the two arrived at a house in the Commoners District.
The tall Ninja opened the door and walked in. "You can stay here first. I will report your matter to my superiors. I can't guarantee what the result will be. In addition, there is some money here as living expenses for the past few days. It can be considered as compensation."
After saying that, the tall Ninja left the money and key behind and was ready to turn around and leave. —--It seemed that everything here made him feel a little touched by the scenery, and he was unwilling to stay any longer.
"Wait a minute. I still don't know who you are."
Aoba suddenly remembered that he still didn't know who the other party was and what his name was.
"You can just call me Mikawa Jonin. I will come back when the results come out. Don't run around during this time, and don't cause trouble."
Mikawa?
Or was it Jonin?
After the other party left, Aoba was a little confused because he had no impression of this name at all. It seemed that it should be an unknown type of Ninja.
After all, there were so many ninjas in the Naruto world, and only a few people who were familiar with their names could remember their names.
In addition, after coming to this world, other than meeting Madara, Obito, White Zetsu, and Black Zetsu, these several familiar villain characters, he had never met a person who could call out his name in Konohagakure. It seemed that ninjas and ordinary civilians were really from two different worlds.
However, after he settled his identity, this kind of thing would probably not happen again.
As he thought about it, he sized up the environment here. It was a private house of about thirty square meters. The place was not big, but it was not messy either. It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time. The house was covered in a layer of dust.
"It seems that today's main job is to clean up this place."
After confirming what he had to do later, he opened the wallet left behind by Mikawa Jonin and counted the living expenses inside.
A whole thousand taels!
'Mmm… What was the price of the items in the Naruto world?'
He vaguely remembered that in the book of soldiers, 1 tael was equivalent to 10 yen. The price of the goods was similar to that of the Nihon Empire before transmigration, and he only remembered a bowl of ramen for one cup of ramen did not exceed 100 taels.
If he calculated it like this, the purchasing power of this one thousand taels was good!
Aoba silently gave Mikawa Jonin a thumbs up!
