Konoha: My Character Card

Chapter 14 The Old Man Qiuyi
After more than ten minutes, Sanshui, who was wandering around the village, finally ran into a living person.

Konoha is so quiet now, so quiet that people feel that the disaster has not passed yet.

Sanshui saw an old man with gray hair not far away, walking around with a cane, as if he was looking for something.

"Grandpa, what are you looking for?"

Sanshui ran over and just started asking, but the old man was startled.

The old man turned around slowly and saw that it was a child. As he relaxed, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Kid, why are you running around?"

The old man's voice was a little hoarse, and although his deeply wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes, he looked very energetic.

Sanshui responded to the old man: "Grandpa, my home was destroyed by monsters, and now I have no place to live, so I can only walk around."

"Well, then are you hungry?"

Hearing Sanshui's words, the old man's expression dropped a lot, but he quickly asked Sanshui if he was hungry.

"I've eaten, grandpa, have you eaten?"

"I also ate."

The old man nodded slightly, then turned around and looked at the ruins.

"I really didn't expect that when I woke up, the village turned into this."

The old man's voice was not without emotion, and seemed a little angry.

Sanshui blinked his big black eyes and looked at the old man beside him.

wake up?You are always able to sleep, the big noise last night didn't wake you up.

And the source of good fortune is not shallow, and it has not been affected by Nine Tails.

"Last night was terrifying. The village was completely destroyed with just a wave of the monster."

Sanshui explained to the old man what happened last night.

The old man put on his crutches, and walked slowly along the ruins, while listening to Sanshui's narration, while his eyes swept over the ruins from time to time.

Along the way, Sanshui just followed the old man, but didn't run into anyone else.

Getting a little thirsty, Sanshui stopped talking, and followed the old man who was searching for the ruins with small steps.

The old man sighed several times along the way, and Sanshui could feel the strong sadness in his voice.

After walking for a while, the old man looked away from the ruins and looked at Sanshui again.

"Little friend, did you get separated from your parents?"

Sanshui could tell that when the old man asked this question, he was a little cautious.

It seemed that he was worried about touching Sanshui's wound, so his voice was unexpectedly soft, combined with the old man's original hoarse voice, it sounded a bit awkward.

The old man thought that the child's parents were killed in yesterday's disaster.

Otherwise, how could a five-year-old child come out and run around at such a dangerous time?

Sure enough, when Sanshui said that he was an orphan, the old man sighed again, as if he had already guessed such a tragic fate.

The old man's name is Qiu Yi, and he is a Konoha veteran.

The reason why he is said to be a veteran is not because of his strength.

Qiuyi is an ordinary person, an ordinary person who cannot practice chakra.

But he has a special surname, a surname that used to be well known, but now fades out of people's sight.

Because of this surname, he can be said to have stayed in Konoha all his life.

In his generation, there are very few people who can survive until now.

Not only because of the frequent wars, but also a large part of them are political.

Once a matter is involved in politics, it will become very complicated, and it cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

But the aging Qiuyi has never forgotten his former identity.

If the current Konoha is a big family, then he is the elder of the family, and he has watched the family grow step by step, from a newborn baby to an independent adult.

Seeing the village destroyed like this now made him feel uncomfortable, so after waking up and discovering this cruel fact, he searched for survivors along the ruins, hoping to save some people.

But so far, except for the dead body, he has not found anyone calling for help.

Originally, he wanted to keep searching like this to ease the pain in his heart, but now he has a little furry child beside him, which looks quite pitiful, and the old man felt that it was inappropriate for such a child to follow him all the way.

So he took Sanshui and walked the way he used to come and go.

"Child, come, go with grandpa."

Sanshui was held by his little hand, and reluctantly followed.

The old man's hands were very rough, like thorns full of edges and corners, and it was uncomfortable to be pinched.

If it is a child of an ordinary family, when encountering this situation, it may be associated with a bad old man who abducts and sells children.

But Sanshui is not an ordinary child, he is a child with an adult soul.

So even if I feel awkward, I still don't panic.

Isn't he just a kind old grandfather?

Sanshui had more or less guessed what the old man was thinking before, there should be some acquaintance buried below, so he came to look for it.

Originally, he was thinking about whether he could help, but unexpectedly, he was taken away by the old man as a homeless child.

In front of an old house that looks very old, the old man dragged Sanshui into the house.

"This place is comparable to my broken house."

Looking around a few times, Sanshui saw creepers all over the west wall, and the gray-black wall, which looked like coal.

"Looks like me, an old man living alone living alone."

The house is not big, and the living room is very small, so there is a table. From the shoe rack by the door, it can be seen that the old man lives alone here.

"Come on, kid, drink some water."

Qiu Yi took out a bowl of clear water and put it on the table.

Sanshui thanked him, walked to the table, took a sip from the bowl.

After he put down the bowl, he saw a weird symbol on the place he was holding just now.

The two sides are like a devil's triangular fork, connected by a long line in the middle, and a small vertical line stands on the long line.

"Why does it look familiar?"

Sanshui muttered to himself, then looked at the old man.

"Son, what are your plans for the future?"

When Qiuyi asked this question, he didn't expect Sanshui to answer, because he felt that a five-year-old child would not have any long-term plans.

But Sanshui thought for a while, and after guessing the old man's intentions, he said, "Grandpa, I'm going to go to school."

"Go to school? Go to school!"

Qiu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then agreed.

Ninja school is a great way out for ordinary children. Even if you can't become a ninja in the future, you can learn a lot of knowledge from it, and the future will definitely be even longer.

"Son, do you want to be a ninja in the future?"

Qiu Yi continued to ask.

"Of course, I want to be a Konoha ninja and protect my village."

There was a smile on Sanshui's face, and there was yearning in his words.

Although it is not denied that Sanshui is now pretending, but he is not completely pretending, and becoming a ninja is his goal.

Qiu looked at Sanshui with more satisfaction, and nodded slightly.

"Okay, you have a clear goal now. Even if you can't become a ninja in the future, you will definitely not be far behind. Children, you have to remember that no matter what your profession is, as long as you work hard, you are making a contribution to Konoha."

Sanshui smiled in his heart, he didn't care about the old man's words, he was sure to be a ninja, and he wanted to be a powerful ninja.

Even if the aptitude is poor, so what, with the character card system, are you afraid that you won't be able to become a powerful ninja?
