A reasonably developed ninja world

"From now on, your surname will be Senju. Biquge Yi, let me inform everyone that we have an additional clan member named Senju Nagata."

"Hi."

"The food that a child eats is very small, but if a child can grow up healthily and become a hard-working farmer, a qualified craftsman or a great ninja, how much food can he bring to Konoha Village? If every orphan like me can live healthy to adulthood, we will definitely be able to repay Konoha a thousand times. Please help Tobirama-sama to help the orphans." Nagata knocked his head hard on the ground. .

Tobirama and Senju Yi were both shocked by Nagata's actions. After a long time, Tobirama helped Nagata up.

"Relax, Nagata, we're just chatting." Tobirama turned the branches so that the mushrooms could be heated more evenly.

"You are the first civilian orphan recruited by our school. To be honest, we are inexperienced in this area. I would like to know your thoughts." Ordinary mushrooms naturally cannot emit the aroma of matsutake, but they still smell good. Not bad, but no cumin. Spices are a specialty of the Kingdom of Wind, and their price is as good as gold.

Nagata thought for a long time, and Tobirama did not urge him. Senju Yi felt that it was not good to make the clan leader wait, but out of etiquette, he did not dare to speak: "My parents had two children before this. They all died young, and they didn’t even get a chance to see the human world. If I hadn’t had the love of my parents when I was young, and later received relief from the village, I would have died long ago. This was all because my body was not strong enough. I also know many Orphans like me will also be adopted. But few of them love them as their own children. They have to help with work very early, and they don't have enough to eat. Such people should not live long. Some become actors, which can be better, but if the master gets drunk one day, he may die like a wild dog. I entered the ninja school and saw the intensity of ninja training, which is even more intense than working life. Cruel training, if it weren't for the help of the Senju family, I would have died earlier than those workers."

Senju Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and Tobirama also started to eat mushrooms. "So what do you want to say, some light training for you? Or do you need more food?"

"No, there is no need to reduce training, because the enemy will not relax on me. As for the food, it is already very good. I will fish and dig out the eggs myself for meat. I should not expect more from favors. You should try hard to think about how you can repay." Repaying kindness is a precious quality of a person. Even if the benefactor has some purpose, kindness is kindness. People cannot enjoy the favors given by others with peace of mind, just because they doubt others. It is for a certain purpose and does not consider repayment.

Tobirama nodded with satisfaction and motioned for him to continue.

"Hi, thank you sir for taking care of me, Nagata is very grateful." Nagata knelt on the ground, raised the basket with both hands above his head, and said loudly.

Tobirama looked at the mushrooms and wild vegetables in Nagata's basket and twitched the corners of his mouth. It was probably difficult for such a serious person to express joyful emotions.

"Get up, don't be so polite, I haven't eaten yet."

"Are you complaining about the inhumanity of the school?" Although Tobirama did not exude murderous intent, he stopped baking mushrooms. Qianju Yi could not wait to rush up and block Nagata's mouth. His body was shaking and he was clutching his knees with both hands.

"No, not really. When you think about how great your achievements are, how much pain you have to endure. I think that Hokage-sama, the first Hokage-sama, Principal Senju Takeshi, and so many ninja masters all came here like this, even better than The pain I suffered was even greater, after all, we do not live in a troubled world where we are constantly threatened by death." Nagata's clear eyes proved that this was what he was thinking in his heart.

"Nagata, are you still used to being in ninja school?"

"It's okay. I couldn't keep up at first, but I will work harder." Nagata maintained a respectful attitude.

Nagata said that gratitude is an emotion that must be expressed in person. So Senju Yi also waited with Nagata for a long time, and worked until very late before Tobirama returned home.

"Master, this is Nagata, a student at the ninja school. He wants to personally express his gratitude to the master for taking him in."

Of course, it doesn't matter if he is so luxurious that he uses human life to test poison like a daimyo.

Tobirama folded a few branches, skewered wild mushrooms and grilled them. Ninjas, unless necessary, would never use Senbon and their own knives to intersperse ingredients. Every weapon was a treasured resource in troubled times.

Of course, Tobirama was no problem identifying drugs. Before he knew it, he had already completed the inspection of the gift.

"Hi."

Tobirama's house had not yet been affected by the daimyo's extravagant customs, and there was a stove in the middle of the house. For ninjas, the family's large dining hall is not actually a safe choice, because if it is attacked on a large scale and the dining hall is secretly poisoned, it is likely that everyone will lose their combat effectiveness. Therefore, vigilant ninjas will only eat food prepared by themselves. Although he is no longer as vigilant as he was in the troubled times in Konoha Village, it is still very convenient to have a reserved stove in the middle of the house.

After eating, Senju Yi led Nagata to visit the residence arranged by the Senju family for Nagata. Since the military management system was implemented, the houses in the village were arranged directly by the Hokage. There was no real estate. Until the third generation came to power, there was no real estate opening. The Hokage can open certain shops for business according to the needs of merchants, or grant residence to certain ninja families, but he will never allow free buying and selling of real estate. After consulting Nagata's opinion, Nagata's parents' house was retained. After all, it's just a thatched house built by yourself near the outside of the village. It doesn't have much value, so it doesn't matter if you keep it.

Apart from their respective residences, the Senju family did not have many forbidden areas. , if you tell everyone that entry is not allowed here, then it is not obvious to tell the enemy that there are valuable items stored here, come and take a look. Even the Thousand Hands clan members on patrol only deal with simple disputes. People with serious criminal intentions will not be stupid enough to be discovered by patrol members, and ordinary defenses cannot prevent them. Putting up so much vigilance has no superfluous effect other than showing off one's own magnificence. Of course, the first generation and Uzumaki Mito are not something Nagata can see.

Senju Yi has been persuading Nagata to rest first and ask his servant to deliver the gift himself.
