"Did someone ask you to come?" Yuya asked Uchiha Rou while forking the steak in the bowl.
Uchiha Rou shook her head. "No, I came here on my own. I know you are here... here... working."
Speaking of which, the definition of work was proposed by Yuya. In the past, everyone referred to it as a job...
Yuya's head hurt when he heard about employment. Konoha Village didn't have many facilities before, and there were few positions available in the village. Most of them were management positions. Were these so-called employment positions all management roles, and were they all ninjas?
What kind of job was there for ordinary people to do manual labor like a cow and a horse?
Yuya looked at Uchiha Rou. Her tone was sincere, and the expression on her face was not strange.
He breathed a sigh of relief; luckily, it wasn't what he thought.
Otherwise, if he forced a girl to face him as he initially feared, Yuya would truly feel that everyone in the Uchiha clan should commit seppuku.
But if he thought more carefully, the Uchiha clan was known for being arrogant and brainless. If they were so arrogant, how could they force a 13-year-old girl to do something against her will?
Of course, Yuya knew well that Uchiha Rou must have been influenced by the Uchiha clan to come here. The Uchiha family was like that. It was obviously a ninja clan, but it felt like there were too many people in this family. This was the case for almost everyone; at least a little bit serious.
In the future, there would be a top performer who took his four-year-old son to the battlefield (the daily whipping corpse, Fugaku).
In short, after coming to this understanding, Yuya felt a lot more at ease, though there was still some discomfort in his heart.
"Why do you say that?" Yuya suppressed his feelings and looked at Uchiha Rou, asking softly.
Uchiha Rou looked at Yuya with red eyes and said, "Everyone in the clan is saying that you, like Lord Hokage, are targeting our Uchiha clan."
Yuya was silent, looking at the little girl in front of him, and sighed softly in his heart.
After all, she was just a child. What could he say?
Yuya considered his words for a moment, then looked up at Uchiha Rou. "Xiaorou, how long has it been since you saw the ordinary elders in the clan?"
Uchiha Rou looked a little confused. "I see you every day. I see you when I go to pick up tasks and do tasks..."
Uchiha Rou was already a genin, doing tasks like finding cats and dogs, weeding, and fertilizing every day.
Yuya was speechless. "Then let me put it another way... What about talking to the Uchiha people who have moved out to live? By the way, ask them what they think of their current life and whether they are willing to move back to the clan. Then, when you do tasks in the future, if you go to the north of the village, you can also ask the farmers there how the waterwheel that the Uchiha clan repaired for them is working. You can check on the water plant where the Uchiha clan is located near the Minami Gano River. You should go and have a look.
After you talk to the people I mentioned, if you still have the idea that I am targeting your Uchiha clan... you can come to me at any time."
After Yuya finished speaking, he bid farewell to Uchiha Rou.
The little girl was still very kind-hearted.
It's just that she didn't have enough experience to see things clearly. The one who really made Yuya angry was definitely the Uchiha family.
Uchiha Rou watched Yuya's back with some doubts. After thinking about it, she decided to follow Yuya's instructions and ask first.
On her way back to the clan, she met an aunt who was looking after a shop on the street outside the clan and asked how her life was and whether she would like to return to live in the Uchiha clan.
The aunt looked at the forehead protector on Uchiha Rou's forehead with some fear. Although she was only a genin, for ordinary people, she was already strong enough to decide their life or death.
The aunt expressed her unwillingness to go back, clearly afraid.
Uchiha Rou was a little confused. After thinking about it, she didn't ask the reason directly. Instead, she left and used the transformation technique to become Yuya. She came to the stall and bought a box of mung bean cake, then asked if it was true that Uchiha people who moved out wanted to go back.
The ordinary people were a little confused about who this boy was, so Uchiha Rou, disguised as Yuya, revealed his identity: "I am the divine gold Yuya who appeared in the newspaper some time ago."
The aunt suddenly became more enthusiastic and relieved, starting to chat with "Yuya."
The aunt shared that her leg had been broken more than ten years ago. At that time, she was a teenager and a ninja. During a daily conflict, she was affected by the detonating talisman of the Senju clan and became disabled.
Fortunately, it was only an injury, or she would have died immediately.
From then on, she retired from being a ninja and became like an ordinary Uchiha woman, weaving and making clothes to exchange for food.
She didn't think anything was wrong.
It had been like this since she was born, so she was still alive, right?
Until two years ago, people in the clan began moving out one after another. She originally didn't want to move out. After all, she felt that the clan was the safest.
But her husband, an ordinary member of the Uchiha clan and a former farmer, strongly demanded to move out, and she could only comply. After all, the food in the family was grown by her husband and handed over to the clan.
After moving out, they discovered that, although they still had to hand over part of the food to Konoha, the proportion was similar to that given to the clan, but they had more job opportunities.
Her husband had sold the land to "Lemu" and returned to Ye Guan to farm, while she herself worked in a factory as a technical worker.
She was now easily earning more than 10,000 taels a month. After all, it was a technical job and quite valuable.
She had also set up a small stand in the specially vacated space in front of her house to sell the mung bean cakes she made. They tasted very good, and a box cost 20 taels. She could sell several boxes a day, earning thousands of taels a month.
Fish in Kirigakure Village sold for 50 taels per pound. She couldn't stand the smell of fish, so she usually ate canned pork sold by Konoha officials for 200 taels per pound. Occasionally, when she got a craving, she would buy a box of canned beef weighing 5 pounds.
Anyway, it was only 500 taels, so it wasn't expensive.
(As for the canned lizard meat from Sand Hidden Village... well... let's skip that.)
Moreover, it was much more convenient after moving out.
In the past, food was distributed among clan members.
Occasionally, she didn't have enough to eat.
After moving out, as long as she had money, she could buy as much food as she wanted. When she got tired of eating rice, she could buy some steamed buns to try. The point is that they did have money.
Therefore, living outside was much more comfortable than in the clan.
The people outside were not as lifeless as those in the Uchiha clan. Everyone was very friendly and spoke nicely. The aunt enjoyed her new life very much.
Of course, she didn't know that her good life was due to Yuya. She just felt that the people in the Konoha Hokage's office were quite powerful and could make such a big change in Konoha.
"Youya" listened very carefully.
The aunt didn't realize it, but she understood.
Konoha was currently on the front line because of Senju Tobirama, and although Yuya was only a secretary in name, many decisions were made by him.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people in the Uchiha clan scolding him. Although they were mentally ill, how could they scold a teenage child every day if they didn't truly mean it?
But to put it bluntly, the grateful look on the aunt's face meant she was thanking Yuya.
After confirming that the aunt didn't want to return to the clan, not because someone had bullied her there, but simply because she did not wish to go back, Uchiha Rou felt a bit confused.
She couldn't figure out what Yuya had done.
The clansmen in the tribe were scolding him, but people outside the tribe thought he was very powerful and good. His performance on the battlefield not long ago had given people in the villages outside the tribe a good impression of him.
Uchiha Rou felt that she couldn't just listen to what her family was saying; she wanted to see more.
Therefore, unknowingly, Yuya gained the label of "understanding the sentiments of the people of Konoha."
In the future, after Uchiha Rou stopped messing with Yuya's face, future generations would look back at this period of history and firmly believe that Yuya-sama, the Third Hokage, must have transformed into someone else and paid a private visit incognito.
Otherwise, how could they explain why every time Konoha faced any problems, they were solved as if someone already knew about them?
It must have been that he discovered these problems long ago and conducted on-site investigations!
As expected of the respected and admired Third Hokage!
Bright! Great!
…
"Sneeze!" Yuya sneezed violently and touched his nose. He muttered, "Who is scolding me behind my back?"
Then he looked at a case in front of him, where a house had been expanded without permission, leading to complaints from neighbors. The investigation found that the neighbor's house also occupied the adjacent road for private use...
One was an illegal expansion, and the other was occupying the road for private use...
How to put it, ordinary people are like this no matter which world they are in. They are simple but cunning. They are willing to donate everything at home to support the front line for the sake of their family and country, yet they will also test the edges of the law for petty profits.
"Aha..."
Yuya yawned and made a note: Use these two points as garbage dumping areas for Konoha Village, but be careful to place them outside the alley, not inside.
…
One day passed, and nothing changed.
Two days passed, and someone started throwing away trash.
Three days passed, and the garbage piled up.
A week later, the first family occupying the road couldn't bear it any longer. They took back the debris they had occupied and paid a sufficient fine as an apology, hoping to withdraw this garbage dumping point.
The next day, those who had built their houses privately also came to pay their fines.
Now, I've all seen it; they did it voluntarily. I didn't force them.
Come on, you guys, do you think you can stump me with your moral skills?
I've seen this kind of thing too many times.
…
A week later, Uchiha Rou did not continue to come to Yuya but sent a box of cakes instead.
Nara Shikaya walked in with a box of mung bean cakes and handed it to Yuya, saying it was a gift from a girl from the Uchiha family.
Yuya opened it and took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
It was quite delicious!
