Konoha: My Character Card

Chapter 53
Father Quan smiled lightly, sealed the remaining tea leaves with a lid, and put them back on the shelf.

"Hojicha roasted on a slow fire has a stronger aroma."

He looked at Sanshui with a different sharpness in his eyes.

"Recently practicing Chakra?"

"...yes, just started."

"No wonder I ate so much just now. When I first started practicing, my body's consumption increased unconsciously. Pay attention to nutritional supplements."

Uchiha reminded for a long time.

"Ah."

Sanshui nodded, accepting Father Quan's instruction.

"Speaking of which, I didn't know before that the good friend Quan said was you."

Uchiha Tsunaku seemed to have thought of something interesting, his gaze changed from sharp to gentle.

"Ok?"

Sanshui expressed doubts, not knowing what the other party was talking about.

"Didn't you keep running around Konoha, with a green-clothed Chunin?"

"You know?"

Sanshui was a little surprised, did Quan's father notice him so early?

"When I inspected the village before, I saw you several times."

Uchiha Hengjiu explained.

"At the time, I was curious as to why a kid who hadn't even learned Chakra could persist in such high-intensity training."

Father Quan's words paused, and his eyes fixed on Sanshui again.

"It's hard for kids of your age to be like you. I'm surprised and admired by you."

I admire Sanshui's modest smile.

"It's serious, I just want to become stronger."

"Become stronger?"

Uchiha frowned for a long time, a little surprised.

"Why are you so obsessed with becoming stronger?"

Sanshui was silent, he wanted to become stronger for many reasons.

Yuan Shen's parents died on the battlefield, and an originally happy family was shattered.

On the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, those who died helplessly had no choice but to wait for rescue.

This is an era full of dangers, and being weak is the original sin, so Sanshui has to become stronger.

In addition, the identity of a time traveler also makes him unwilling to be left behind.

What is the meaning of my coming into this world?
Could it be that he has been dawdling at the bottom all his life?
Do not!
Keep moving forward, see more scenery of this world, and climb to the top stage of this world is the way I want to go.

Sanshui thought for a moment before answering Uchiha's question,

"Maybe. I want to better protect myself."

Father Quan nodded, not too surprised by the answer.

It wasn't long after the Nine-Tails Rebellion in the village, maybe Sanshui was affected by that disaster and became so anxious to become stronger.

And I heard from Quan that Sanshui's parents died fighting for Konoha, which is probably why Sanshui is so eager to become stronger.

Cuckoo!
The ceramic pot lid made a crisp collision sound, and the transparent steam rose up, and then quickly liquefied into a pale mist.

The water is on.

Uchiha stopped talking for a long time, and began to cook tea quietly.

Sanshui watched the other party's methodical movements, both slow and fast, half a minute later, a pot of tea was brewed.

The first tea does not need to be soaked for too long, just tens of seconds is enough.

Uchiha poured out the maroon tea for a long time and handed it to Sanshui.

"Thank you."

Sanshui took a cup of boiling hot tea, and gently blew air on the surface of the tea.

Father Quan also picked up a small cup of roasted tea and sipped it into his throat.

Feeling the fragrance of tea spread from the mouth, straight into the throat, a clear sense of transparency is sent to the brain from bottom to top.

Time seems to slow down at this moment, the world in tea is wonderful.

"Sanshui, would you like another glass?"

"It's troublesome."

Father Quan lifted the teapot and poured tea for Sanshui.

Sanshui raised his teacup with both hands and bowed slightly to show his respect for his elders pouring tea.

"By the way, Sanshui, are you living on Huoyan Street now?"

"Yes."

"That's not far from here, and Quan may visit you often in the future."

Uchiha Tsunaku seemed to sigh a little.

"Quan has a wild temper and likes to go out to play very much. Please forgive me if I trouble you in the future."

"what?!"

Sanshui shook the hand holding the teacup.

What is understanding?
"Don't panic, I can see that she has a special affection for you, and she will definitely look for you often in the future. Of course, I know your determination to become stronger, and I also know that you need to spend a lot of time training. It's a trouble, please don't tell her clearly, come and tell me, I will communicate with her."

"How come, Quan is my good friend, and I won't make her sad."

"yes."

Father Quan looked deeply at Sanshui.

At this moment, he is no longer the man without majesty at the dinner table, but a real Konoha Shinobu, the power contained in his gaze is definitely not inferior to anyone Sanshui has ever met.

But Sanshui didn't have the slightest timidity, and looked directly at Uchiha's long-lasting eyes.

After a while, Uchiha Tsunade smiled faintly: "That's good."

"Sanshui, I know you are not an ordinary child, that's why I told you so much, please forgive me for being presumptuous just now."

Uchiha Hengjiu bowed his head slightly, expressing his apology for his actions just now.

"It's okay, I know uncle, you don't mean anything malicious."

Sanshui shook his head, showing that he understood.

After taking the most difficult step in the whole conversation, Uchiha Hengjiu relaxed a lot.

He was really under a lot of pressure just now, because he was thinking about how to communicate with Sanshui, until he discovered from the simple conversation that Sanshui's mind was more mature than expected, so he boldly said what he just said.

"Sanshui, can I ask you something?"

Uchiha took a sip of tea for a long time, his tone soft.

"Please me?"

Sanshui was a little surprised, he was only a six-year-old child, is there anything he can do to help this man in front of him?

"Yes, speaking of it, it's also related to Quan."

"Uncle, please tell me."

Hearing about the spring, Sanshui decided to listen first.

"What do you think, the last time the clan held a banquet for Quan, how was it?"

Uchiha looked at Sanshui for a long time, and there was a hint of school examination in his eyes.

"The banquet was very grand and went well, but I don't think what you're asking, Uncle, is that. Is Quan being praised too much by that banquet?"

Uchiha's eyes flashed for a long time, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, although Quan awakened Sharingan at the age of six, it's amazing, but I'm afraid she will suffer in the future if she bears the title of genius so early on."

Speaking of this, Father Quan's tone was a little heavy.

"Besides, the child Quan has not grown up yet. I'm afraid she won't be able to practice as hard as you. So, as her friend, I hope you can properly guide her and let her put more effort into cultivation."

"I see, Uncle, I will help Izumi."

"Well, then thank you very much."

Uchiha Hengjiu refilled the tea for Sanshui.

"Let's go out after drinking this cup of tea, lest people outside wait in a hurry."
