Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

Various tall buildings are lined up in rows. Although it is not as densely populated as modern Earth, but from the perspective of the world of Naruto, it can be regarded as an international metropolis.

The people coming and going are all filled with relaxed smiles.

Passing through several streets, we arrived in front of the Hokage Building, the landmark building of Konoha Village.

After being informed by the chuunin guarding the building, after waiting for a while, Bai Mingyu and Xiang Ling's mother and daughter were finally brought into the Hokage's office.

Across a desk, I met the legendary Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This third-generation Hokage, who is already sixty or seventy years old and can be said to be an antique in the ninja world, already looks very old, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and patches of age spots on his face.

However, the momentum revealed inadvertently is breathtaking. He is worthy of being a generation of ninja heroes who defeated the five major ninja villages in the past.

""

The Third Hokage crossed his hands and held a pipe in his mouth. He looked at the three of them in silence for a while and then said slowly: "I heard a report from the ninja that several of you who claim to be the Uzumaki clan came here from the neighboring country of grass. "

"To be precise, it's the two of them."

Bai Mingyu corrected him. He wanted to travel through time and become a descendant of the Uzumaki, but since he didn't have that red hair, he was destined to be unable to unlock the bloodline, so he could only despair.

"Well, this red hair, strong chakra and vitality are indeed almost exactly the same as Kushina back then."

The Third Hokage quickly confirmed the identities of Koso and Uzumaki Miya.

"I remember when I heard that the Uzumaki Kingdom was being besieged and exterminated, Konoha originally wanted to send people to support it. However, because the war in the ninja world was stalemate, no manpower could be spared for a while, so they watched helplessly as their allies, the Uzumaki clan, perished. I didn't expect to let you go through this. It’s our fault on Konoha’s part to cause so much pain, I’m sorry.”

The specific time of the Uzumaki clan's demise is not detailed in the original work.

But judging from the time when Kushina came to Konoha, it should be a year between the Second Ninja War and the Third Ninja War.

At that time, the war was in full swing. Konoha Village was busy fighting with several other major countries and had no time to think about it. It was understandable that it could not free up manpower to support the Uzumaki clan.

And Uzumaki Miya and Kaoru were a little flattered. After all, the person speaking was the Hokage.

The number one person in the Five Great Ninja Villages actually apologized to them in person, which would be enough to brag about for a lifetime.

The Third Hokage lamented for a while, and then called an ANBU wearing a ninja mask: "Go and arrange the residence of these guests. Let's arrange a residence in the East Street area. I remember that there should be other places in that area. There are a lot of empty houses, so make some for them.”

Then he said to Uzumaki Miya: "Miya, you have come all the way and settled down in the village first. When the ninja school starts in a few days, I will try to arrange the admission of Shiroyu and Xianglan."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Bai Mingyu showed a grateful smile at the right time, and the mother and daughter also bowed in thanks. The three of them left the Hokage Building and followed the ANBU to Konoha East Street.

"This is it."

The ninja dog Anbu stopped in front of a house and pointed: "The room on the left is slightly larger and is for Miya-sama and your daughter. The room next door belongs to Shiroha Asakawa. You guys need to settle in first. , Anbu will send subsidies and some necessary supplies later.

You can have a good rest, this will be your home in Konoha from now on. "

After the ANBU finished speaking, he formed a hand seal, turned into smoke with a bang, and left.

Bai Mingyu stood on the street and looked to the other side of East Street.

“This place”

It seems to be the residence of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Most of the walls of the row of houses going in from East Street have a symmetrical family emblem printed on them, which is clearly the symbol of Senju Senju.

This was once the largest clan in Konoha and had given birth to strong men of Senju Hashirama's level. After three generations of Hokages in power, it was now in dire straits.

Especially after the end of the Third War, after Tsunade, the only Senju Princess who could lead the way, left Konoha, there were only three or two kittens left, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled tribesmen. Looking around, there were only a few people. A scene of sunset over the western mountains.

However, because of the lofty reputation the Senju clan once had, although their base has shrunk significantly compared to the first and second generations, it has not been completely recovered.

But judging from their current situation, it would only be a matter of time before they were completely destroyed.

The mother and daughter were arranged to live here, probably because of the blood connection between the Uzumaki and Senju clans, and by the way, it would increase the popularity of the Senju clan, which had been dormant for a long time. Bai Mingyu, on the other hand, was exposed to Uzumaki Miya's light.

"Brother Bai Yu, my mother and I are going to clean up the room first. We will come out to play with you later."

Xiang Ling waved his hand and followed his mother into the door on the left.

Bai Mingyu entered the house on the right.

"Clean up the room first, and then"

Go out for treasure hunting

Half an hour later, Bai Mingyu, who had changed into clean clothes, appeared on the streets of Konoha Village.

I bought an ice cream cone from a roadside stall and ate it while walking.

According to what the ANBU said before, orphans like him without parents will receive some financial subsidies every month. The amount is not much, almost a thousand silver taels per month.

In addition, because he is a new arrival, he will be given a one-time subsidy of part of the settlement fee to purchase daily necessities such as sheets and bedding.

As for what a thousand silver taels can do, here is an example:

The monetary system of the Naruto world is based on silver, with auxiliary coins being one yuan, and one tael equals ten yuan.

According to the average price of goods in Konoha Village, the monthly salary of a working-class civilian is between 5,000 and 10,000 taels, which is equivalent to the salary level of a genin, while the net worth of a chunin and a jounin is much richer. .

An ordinary family of three spends about 500 taels on food and cooking every month. However, if they go to a barbecue restaurant to eat and drink in the lake, these 500 taels can only cover two or three times.

Moreover, in addition to eating, we also need to buy clothes and daily necessities.

If you are a ninja, you also need to buy ninja tools for training.

Calculated in this way, one thousand taels can barely sustain the food and clothing of a family, but it is definitely not enough. If you squander a few times, you will be hungry in the next half month.

So in the original work, Naruto drinks expired milk, eats instant noodles every day, and never changes into a set of orange clothes all year round.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Naruto has lived alone since he was a child and does not know how to manage money. If he is the kind of protagonist with full life skills, he can live happily with one thousand taels per month.

"This is it."

Bai Mingyu stopped at an intersection, looked around calmly, then squatted down next to a telephone pole and pretended to tie his shoes.

However, a hand quietly touched the corner of the wall next to it. In the corner where no one saw it, a black iron box was emitting a faint light.

Black iron treasure chest.
