Konoha: My Character Card

Chapter 38 The Gravekeeper's Mission; Grandpa, I Met a Very Cute Girl

Good times are always short-lived. After eating the Sanse Duanzi, Sanshui and Quan left this small secret place.

The clothes on the two of them are not thick, and they are easy to catch cold after staying for a long time.

"Sanshui, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Quan waved to Sanshui to say goodbye to him.

Tomorrow is the opening day of Ninja School. It is not a formal class, but just to meet the students after class division and to get acquainted with their teachers.

The real classes start next week.

After parting ways at the intersection, Sanshui took a look at the sky and felt that it was not too late, so he started walking around Muye Village to digest food.

Then he met Maitkai who was running fast.

"Yo, Sanshui, why are you late today?"

"I had something to do just now. I had a meal with my classmates. Now I need to digest it."

"I see, Sanshui, you must have a good relationship with your classmates. Youthful friendship is very precious!"

Matt Kay imparts his experience.

"Understood, Senior Kai."

Sanshui accepted the instruction solemnly, and waited for Maitekai to nod in satisfaction and then gradually ran away before he sighed.

"It would be great if senior Kai would not be so ridiculous."

When he came to the door of Qiu's family, Sanshui knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, Qiu Yi walked to the door with slow steps.

"Grandpa Qiuyi, it's me."

Hearing it was Sanshui, Qiuyi opened the door.

"Come in, we have guests at home."

Qiu Yi said slowly.

"Ok?"

Sanshui was taken aback.

guest?

"Come with me and you'll know."

Qiu Yi saw Sanshui's doubts and explained.

"Oh."

Sanshui didn't ask any further questions, and followed Qiuyi into the room.

There was a little boy sitting in the room, about the same age as Sanshui, not handsome, but very attractive, especially his eyes, like a lake, very peaceful and quiet, and there was a woman next to him, who was somewhat like a child Like, it should be his mother.

"Senior Qiuyi, I'm bothering you today. If there is nothing else, we will leave first."

Seeing a child coming in from Qiuyi, the woman thought it was the grandson of the other party, so she didn't disturb the relationship between the grandparent and grandson, and proposed to leave.

"Aren't you going to stay and take a look?"

Qiu Yi stayed and said.

"Father's wish has been understood, and I am very relieved to leave the rest of the matter to you, so I won't keep any more."

The woman looked at the ancestral hall in the backyard with nostalgia, and then left holding the child's hand.

Sanshui and the little boy looked at each other a few times, remembering each other's appearance, but did not ask each other's name.

After seeing off the two guests, Qiu Yi sighed slowly.

"Time is merciless."

Sanshui was smart and guessed something, but didn't say much, just quietly accompanied Qiu Yi who was a bit lost and sad.

Back in the room, Qiu Yi picked up the urn sent by the woman on the table and walked slowly towards the backyard.

"The elders of the Qianshou clan still want to return to the clan after death, and they are not at ease if they are not buried here."

Qiuyi seemed to be explaining the origin of the ashes in his hands to Sanshui, but also seemed to be feeling sorry for himself.

Some of the Qianshou clan who were disbanded once left their hometowns, and some remained incognito and still lived in Konoha.

These people get married and have children, work securely, and live happily. The only regret is that the former ethnic group has been disbanded, and their descendants can no longer use the surname of Qianshou.

But even if they don't use Qianshou as their surname, these Qianshou people will still teach their younger generations to remember that their ancestors were once famous Qianshou clan.

The woman and child just now have a high probability of having the blood of the Qianshou clan.

However, unlike the older generation of the Thousand Hands Clan, these new generation of people with the blood of the Thousand Hands no longer have a strong family concept, and they will not ask to be allowed to enter the Qianshou Clan's cemetery after death.

Sanshui helped Qiu Yi and buried the urn in the tomb. Qiu Yi was getting old, and it would take a long time to handle it by himself, and his body would not be able to handle it.

"Thank you, Sanshui."

Although the hard work was taken away by Sanshui, Qiu Yi was still a little tired, mainly due to mental distress.

After all, it's not a good feeling to personally bury the companions and elders you once knew, and watch them leave the world one by one.

Sanshui didn't speak, and was immersed in a sad atmosphere.

This is the first time he has come into contact with the job of being a tomb guard. If it is someone he does not know, it is fine. The key is to bury his former clansman, which is a bit hard to let go.

Sanshui couldn't help but feel a little distressed when thinking of Qiuyi's experience of burying countless clansmen.

"Come and tell me what happened today."

When Sanshui is working, he usually doesn't come to Qiuyi's place, only on weekends when he is free, and today is not a weekend, so Qiuyi guesses that Sanshui has something to tell him.

Sanshui originally wanted to tell Qiu Yi about his admission to the ninja school, but thinking that the old man was not in a good mood and the news was not instructive, he thought for a moment and talked about another matter.

Something between a young man.

"Grandpa Qiuyi, today I met a very cute girl."

"Oh?"

Qiu Yi was not very interested at first, but when he heard Sanshui say this, a hint of agility and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

Qiuyi is a widowed old man who used to have no one to accompany him, but now he has Sanshui, who chats and eats with him to ease his loneliness.

So in Qiu's eyes, Sanshui is his grandson.

Now that he heard that his grandson seemed to have a girl he liked, he couldn't help but become curious.

Which girl is it that makes Sanshui, a mature kid, so excited?
"She is from the Uchiha clan, named Uchiha Izumi."

"Uchiha Clan"

Qiu Yi showed a thoughtful look, but nodded quickly, as if he thought it was feasible.

People from the Uchiha clan, although they are noble, are not suitable for common people to marry, but Sanshui is the grandson of Chiju Akiichi, I have the cheek to tell Hokage, and I will not be rejected by the Uchiha clan.

"How did you know each other?"

Qiu Yi became interested and asked proactively.

Seeing that the sadness on Qiuyi's face had faded a lot, Sanshui felt relieved, knowing that he had found the right topic.

"We met during the ninja school assessment."

"I met you during the exam."

"Well, I helped her during the first assessment, and she also helped me, and then we got to know each other better."

Sanshui began to tell Qiuyi how he and Quan met in detail.

Qiu Yi listened carefully, analyzing Uchiha Izumi's personality from Sanshui's words.

It sounds like she has a cheerful personality and a generous personality, and she is a very nice girl.

Qiu Yi smiled and nodded.

but
Qiu Yi thought of something, paused, and looked at Sanshui strangely: "Well, Sanshui, you seem to be only six years old this year, right? Isn't this a bit early?"

"Grandpa, where are you going, we are just good friends."

"This"

Qiu Yi was a little dazed, could it be that he, an old man, was delusional?

"Dating such a thing as falling in love, at least I have to wait until I graduate from ninja school."

Sanshui explained.

"Oh, um, that's right, you're all grown up by then, don't worry about it"

Qiu Yi said with some embarrassment that it was because he thought too hastily.

Even though Sanshui is only six years old, he has even thought about hugging his great-grandson.
