My Hokage Journey

The golden sunset reflected the vast swaths of clouds, trying its best to emit its last remaining light, briefly covering the streets of Konoha Village with a peaceful atmosphere.

A young man in gray cloth was carrying two boxes of lunch boxes and quickly shuttled through the crowded streets.

"Thank you for your patronage. The bento you ordered is 50 taels in total." The childish voice had a smile, which made people feel good about him.

"Take it." The middle-aged man took out the money and handed it over.

The young man in gray clothes who took the money showed a happy smile, thanked him, and hurried back. There were still more than a dozen bento boxes waiting for him to deliver in the store. For him, this job was quite important.

He is not a descendant of any martyrs in the village, and there is no relief fund to receive. The price of losing his job may be starving to death on the streets. This may sound exaggerated, but it is true.

"The Morikami family on the East Street, the Nohara family and the Sakurai family on the West Street have all marked the lunch boxes so that they don't go to the wrong place." The fat boss was tirelessly instructing the boy in gray.

Compared with the previous deliveries, the young man named Lu Ming was the most satisfactory one he met now. There was not a single mistake or omission, and the most important thing was that there was no trace of impatience with his repeated words. This made him the most satisfied for the first time. For once he felt like a real boss. Although his store was only less than 10 square meters in size, this feeling left him with endless aftertaste.

"Okay, Uncle Tanaka, I will remember it, there will be no mistake." The young man nodded affirmatively.

Although Boss Tanaka is usually a bit picky, he has a great advantage, that is, he will not deduct salary at will. This is really, really important to the young man...

After delivering the last lunch, today's work has come to an end. At this time, the sky is already dark and night has fallen. I return to the lunch shop and prepare to receive today's salary. Yes, it is a daily salary.

"This is today's salary." Boss Tanaka looked at this young man with a warm expression. He looked more and more pleasing to his eyes. He was hard-working and had a good attitude. Where could he find such a good labor force?

The young man took the money and counted it several times. He looked at Boss Tanaka in front of him with some doubts. No, maybe he had made a mistake. The young man immediately eliminated this possibility. According to Boss Tanaka's character of playing tricks on others, this is not true. Possibly, he dared to assert.

"Uncle Tanaka, why are there five more taels?" Since the other party can't make a mistake, then this is intentional. If he didn't ask, he would look petty.

"The salary has been increased. This will be the way to go from now on." Tanaka turned around and touched the back of his head and said, "Didn't you say you were going to register for a ninja school? If you are not from this village, you have to pay a registration fee of 500 taels. By the way, you will do it today. There happens to be more than one portion of the lunch box, which is placed on the table." After saying that, he walked to the backyard.

Lu Ming's face could not be seen clearly under the dim light. He only felt warm in his heart. It had been more than a year since he arrived in this world. This was the first time he felt the warmth of others. He smiled slightly. It turned out that this stingy Uncle Tanaka was not satisfied either. Physical shortcomings.

Returning to the dilapidated rental house, Lu Ming did not eagerly open the lunch box that had completely cooled down.

He lit a fire on the stove and reheated the bento. After all, it was rare to eat such a 'luxurious' thing, and it always had to be perfect to meet Lu Ming's concept.

In his previous life, Lu Ming was considered a rich second generation. His father was a well-known wealthy businessman and his mother was a university teacher. He was from a scholarly family. The good family environment allowed him to develop a temperament that was different from other rich second generations. Even though he is now Even though he has been reduced to this, you can still feel the difference between him and others from the meticulousness with which he eats. He eats very quickly yet elegantly.

After eating his lunch, Lu Ming washed up and lay down on the old wooden bed. He was thinking about something in his mind. Although his daily salary had increased a little, he still had a lot of expenses waiting for him. Just in this dilapidated room The monthly rent for the rental house costs him 300 taels, and eating three ramen meals a day costs 15 taels. If he eats it for a month, it costs 450 taels. Not counting other expenses, he spends here every month. 750 taels, and Lu Ming's monthly salary is now about 1650 taels, and there is about 900 taels left. It is estimated that even Naruto back then was doing better than him.

Relying on frugality, Lu Ming spent more than a year saving about 10000 taels. This is probably the largest amount of money he has saved since he came to this world. Calculating, it can last for a year and a half. After all, after enrolling in the ninja school, he had no source of income and could only live on this deposit. This was what he had planned from the beginning. After all, this is the world of Naruto. If you don't eat people, you are destined to be eaten by others. Eat, if you say you are innocent, no one will care about you. You still have to rely on your fists to tell the truth. This is something he firmly believes.

Imagine that Nagato suddenly goes berserk and a Shinra Tensei comes, and you are just a passerby in the village. You don't know how to die. Lu Ming is speechless when he thinks about it. Without strength, there is no human rights.

Suddenly I envy those friends who can receive relief funds. They can receive money without having to work. It's not jealousy. Lu Ming can empathize with this kind of legacy from his ancestors. After all, he was also a rich man before, but there are some Feeling.

It is estimated that he will be resigning after finishing this month. Alas, the stingy boss Tanaka has increased his salary. If school hadn't started soon, he would have been able to work for a while longer.

Lu Ming was lying on the bed looking at the stars through the glass. The bright moonlight was shining, covering the surrounding area with a layer of silver frost, making the surrounding environment softer. The evening breeze rustled the treetops not far away. Lu Ming also felt silent in his heart. His previous curiosity and enthusiasm for the ninja school disappeared without a trace, and he stared straight at the night sky.

I don’t know if my elderly parents at home are well, and if they have discovered that I have disappeared, they are desperately looking for me, and whether I can go back again. Everything around me seems so unrealistic, but yet so real, at night. The feeling of the wind blowing against your face through the window, the sound of your heartbeat in your chest, all of these confirm that you have truly entered another world, feeling the tricks of fate, or reminiscing about your past life.

Family, love, friendship... Familiar faces popped up in his mind and couldn't be shaken off. This was the first time for Lu Ming to experience such a quiet atmosphere and such complicated emotions. He was filled with sorrow and wavering. The constant feeling, seriously, is the sadness of separation, not just a feeling in my heart!

Looking at the moon, he felt so many things. It was already late at night, and sleepiness was gradually rising. Lu Ming slowly closed his eyes. Tomorrow is a new day, and everything will be better, right...
