Kyojuro, the life of a Hokage since the age of one

The child picked up by the caravan was a child from the Snow Clan. She couldn't be called a child. She was already twelve years old.

Yes, it's a girl.

After Uchiha repeatedly investigated from all angles and confirmed that she was just an ice escape ninja with a tragic background and good talent, Uchiha accepted her.

"My name is Linglong," the girl introduced herself.

She had no objection to the Uchiha clan's repeated investigations, but was happy because of the solemnity.

She knew that this was the first step to being accepted into the family.

She wanted a roof over her head so badly.

She never wanted to look back on those days when she was hiding from place to place, with no clothes on her body, no food to eat, like a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted to beat.

Just living in the house provided by Uchiha, Linglong felt uneasy. No matter how innocent her life experience was, if she could not bring benefits to Uchiha, why should Uchiha accept her as an outsider.

On this day, Uchiha Ao took the blueprint and briefly explained the structure of the ice mirror to her, and then asked her to condense a palm-sized ice ball.

It's easy.

Uchiha Ao tested the hardness of the ice ball with a kunai, then cut the ice ball open and looked inside, and asked,

"With such a big ice ball, how many can you condense at one time?"

"One hundred,"

This is the limit that Linglong can achieve if he exhausts all his chakra at once. "I will definitely be able to condense it in the future..."

"Very well, your abilities are very useful."

Uchiha Ao confirmed that Linglong can condense ice balls, allowing her to serve as the source of ice in the ice mirror, but the ice mirror is filled with ice balls shot by Ice Peashooter, which melts slower and is colder.

As for this little girl, the clan has other arrangements.

Uchiha Ao interrupted her and left with the hickey.

…

Just when Linglong thought she was going to stay here and condense ice balls every day, she was sent back to the workshop near the Uchiha clan by Uchiha Ao.

Nowadays, the number of workshops near the Uchiha family has expanded to three, and each workshop is responsible for different things.

The smaller mill built at the beginning was still responsible for pea flour, but the number of personnel was reduced by less than half.

The second workshop built was larger and more confidential. The people inside were all selected from the pea mill and were responsible for the production of walnut oil and corn oil.

The third workshop is larger than the first two workshops combined and is responsible for the continuous output of other processed products of corn.

All the workers in the three workshops add up to nearly 500 people. Several nearby villages and even people in the town who want to make a living gather here.

Abandoned houses near the workshop were also reused, and workers spontaneously built more simple bungalows, where workers who did not want to waste time on the way back and forth would live here.

Workers who have been promoted to the position of small managers can be assigned a former Uchiha house as their daily residence.

Since these houses are closer to the Uchiha clan than the workshops, the workers began to think that people who lived closer to the Uchiha clan had more status.

Linglong looked at the busy mill in front of her and was a little at a loss. She didn't know what she could do. She was not strong enough and could not move the big stone mill with two or three people like the workers here.

The big Uchiha in charge of this mill knocked the big bell hanging at the door.

"Stop what everyone is doing!"

"This is a new member who joined the workshop. He is an ice escape ninja."

As soon as she heard that her identity as an ice ninja was exposed in front of so many ordinary people, Linglong reflexively wanted to run away, but when she saw the half-smiling expression on the face of Ochiha who was speaking, she forced herself to calm down. .

Ou Chiha continued, "He is responsible for making ice cubes in summer to help cool down the interior of the factory. He also ensures that you will not suffer from heatstroke in the bright sun like last year."

"Ohhhhhh!"

"Thank you, Uchiha-sama!!"

The workers cheered and clapped. Ochiha waved to her to say hello to everyone, and Linglong pursed her lips shyly and smiled.

Then the workers returned to their respective posts and continued working. Ou Zhiha led Linglong to the female manager of the mill.

"This kid lives next door to you. When you get off work, take him to check out the house."

"Yes! Uchiha-sama."

…

The next day, Linglong officially took up his post.

She used the Ice Release Ninjutsu to create large blocks of ice in the open space, which were carried by workers and placed in the four corners of the workshop.

The workers who moved it were amazed. Even through their gloves, they could feel the chill from the ice.

"I didn't expect that we can also use ice. This is a enjoyment only noble gentlemen can enjoy."

"Even a noble lord cannot hire a ninja just to use ice."

"Hey, my cousin's family said that the ice used by the noble gentlemen in the summer is the ice that farmers like us are sent to fish out from the freezing rivers in the north in winter, and is stored underground until it is used in the summer. "

"Then everything has to melt."

"Uchiha is still awesome."

"Such a little girl can actually make such big ice."

"That's an Uchiha ninja, of course he's powerful."

Facing the admiration, envy, praise and admiration of the workers, Linglong felt a little dazed.

It turns out... Ice Escape can bring happiness to people.

The workers continued to chat about the various treatments they received at the Uchiha family workshop.

"Fortunately, I was the first one to sign up when the job was recruited, otherwise I wouldn't have the good life I have now. I asked a matchmaker to help me find a marriage partner. The girl's family originally disliked me for not having land, but when the matchmaker told me that I was working for the Uchiha family, the girl's family immediately agreed."

"That's right, I can have a free meal here every day, and I can take some food home at night. Even in the summer, the Uchiha masters still want to send ice to us peasants, and in the winter, the mill has a method called something to provide warmth."

"I really hope this kind of life can last forever. Maybe I can get a house in the workshop next year."

"I heard that the Uchiha family is recruiting again. Are they going to build a new workshop again?"

"Really? Oh, then I have to go home and inform my sister-in-law!"

Working for the Uchiha u003d Food + Shelter u003d Good Life

Linglong's mind has such an equation.

This is also the consensus of all the workers working for the Uchiha.

…

After about half a month, Linglong has been working diligently in the corn mill.

Although her job content is only to make ice cubes, she feels that just creating a few pieces of ice does not consume much physical strength.

This makes her feel a little uneasy when eating at the Uchiha family, so she always does what she can, and at lunch time, she will go to the kitchen of the mill in advance to help.

After listening to the report from the person in charge, Uchiha Qing took Linglong to the oil mill.

The work of the oil mill is much more complicated than that of the mill.

Linglong could only see the workers using a long-barreled machine with a crank to continuously squeeze oil.

Uchiha Qing handed the person over to the person in charge of the oil mill. The big Uchiha briefly introduced Linglong's work.

"Your task is to cool down these tools. Too high a temperature will damage the quality of the oil."

"There are only two requirements. One, you must lower the temperature of the tools and it must not affect the use of the tools. Two, you must not let the water melted from the ice mix in the oil."

"As for what to do specifically, think about it yourself."

After that, the big Uchiha left.

Linglong thought about it. First, as in the mill, she also placed ice cubes at the four corners of the oil mill. Although the ambient temperature dropped, she was still burned when she reached out to touch the long tube of the tool.

How to do this... directly freeze on the tools?

The workers who were disturbed by her work cooperated with Linglong to try for the sake of the person in charge and the ice cubes provided by Linglong.

If it is directly frozen, when she withdraws the chakra, the ice will melt in the sunlight, and the water will naturally drip into the barrel below to collect oil.

Moreover, this tool is a bit complicated. Linglong found that if ice forms on the crank, the tool will be unusable.

So the only way is to find a solution on the long tube...

Linglong thought of something that can disappear without a trace in the sunlight,

frost.

She controlled her chakra and cleverly controlled the temperature. After trying several times, she finally succeeded in condensing a layer of white frost on the long tube.

Then she withdrew her chakra, and the frost disappeared directly under the sunlight without melting into water droplets.

(Ice melts, frost sublimates)

"It's done!!"

The workers watched Linglong try little by little, and they all recognized this child who was willing to use his brain and experiment.

"Master Linglong, can you help us take a look?"

"Okay!"

Linglong began her daily life of running back and forth.

When the sun gradually rose, a layer of frost should be condensed on the outer layer of the oil press to prevent the oil press from heating up too quickly under the dual effects of sunlight and continuous use.

Then immediately ran to the mill and placed ice cubes at the four corners to create a little coolness for the workers.

Then she had to rush back to the oil mill before the sun reached its highest point.

At this time, the frost that had condensed at the beginning had generally evaporated, and she had to condense a thicker layer of frost again, replenishing new frost at any time, and also pay attention to condensing only on the outside of the long tube, not affecting the normal use of the crank.

Although busy, her eyes became brighter day by day, and her smile became more and more.

At this time, Uchiha Su decided to go out in person.

In the evening, Linglong was stopped by Uchiha Qing, who had not seen her for a long time,

"Linglong, you have done well recently, come with me."

"Yes, Lord Qing."

Linglong had a premonition of something, and her mood was inevitably excited.

After bypassing several houses, Uchiha Qing took her to a beautifully decorated courtyard.

In the courtyard under the moon, a beautiful and elegant lady waved at her,

"Linglong, good child, come here."

Linglong looked at the lady's Sharingan and beautiful face, knowing that this was another Uchiha, and her level should be higher than Lord Qing.

She obediently approached him and lost herself in the moonlight.

Uchiha...

I want to be a member of the Uchiha clan...

I want to live a good life...

Uchiha accepted my ice escape...

I found my value...

How can I become an Uchiha...

Uchiha Su was satisfied to see Linglong's sense of belonging to the Uchiha.

She held the unconscious Linglong in her arms and nodded to Qing who had been waiting beside her.

...

Izuna and Mori were assigned a mission. The mission was unclear, but Uchiha asked them to let Linglong fully integrate into the Uchiha, have one or two close friends, and it is best to recognize a certain family as their own. family.

Uchiha Senna went to the mill, "Are you new to the clan? My name is Senna, hello."

Linglong shivered unconsciously. She thought it was because she had just touched ice and was a little cold.

"Hello, I'm Linglong, what do you want from me?"

Izuna was helpless. Elder Su might have scared this girl before. Even Xing Jurou felt that his temperament was becoming more and more like Elder Su. It seemed that he had to rely on Sen for this task.

"I heard that an ice escaper has come to the clan, come and take a look, Sen! Hurry up!"

"Coming, coming!"

Uchiha Mori stepped on the wall and climbed into the yard, "Brother Izuna, you are walking too fast, are you Ice Escape?"

Linglong's tone was a little weird, "My name is Linglong."

"Oh, hello, Linglong, I am Uchiha Mori, I am a fire escape ninja, no, I mean I am a fire escape ninja, no, I am..."

Linglong smiled with crooked eyes, "Hello, Sen."

Sen pinched his sleeves uncomfortably, looking for a topic to talk about!

"Well, I heard you did a good job at the mill. Let me take a look."

Linglong turned sideways and said, "Okay, just take a look. After you finish reading, I'm going to see how you did."

Uchiha Mori is currently staying in the Ministry of Commerce to exchange information, but he definitely cannot tell Linglong. He stuttered and said,

"I, I am a member of the caravan. Without me, your goods will not be sold no matter how good they are."

Linglong still smiled, her eyes showing her unwillingness to admit defeat, "Without me, what are you selling?"

"But you're not a worker, you're just a refrigeration guy."

"Then you are not a caravan horse, you are just a loader."

"snort!"

"snort."

Quan Nai watched the two people bickering and found it a little funny.

…………

In the evening, Izuna and Anjuro reviewed the logic of the two people's behavior today.

"Sen's appearance was planned. He is a somewhat reckless Uchiha who seems to be lively and lively, which is rare among Uchiha."

"Especially after I first left the impression of Uchiha's inscrutability on that Ice Release, Mori, a seemingly simple person, is easier for people to get close to."

Anjuro was holding the washed iced cherries and eating them, while feeding Izuna by the way.

"Is that why Aunt Su asked uncle and Brother Sen to be partners?"

"Yes, and that Linglong should have wanted to contact the Uchiha clan for a long time. However, except for the person in charge, the mill is all ordinary civilians. Two new Uchiha finally came today. Of course she has to catch them. This opportunity.”

"And what she said - after you finish reading, I'm going to see how you're doing - does Anjuro know why she said that?"

"For the next meeting with Brother Sen?"

Because of Ganlu Temple, Xingjuro can still guess some girls' thoughts.

Kanroji is probably already with Ihei.

Yihei obviously likes Ganlu Temple very much, but he didn't say anything before.

"Correct answer."

Izuna picked up a cherry. That guy Mori was probably going to be trapped, but could this be considered a plan for the two of them to go in both directions?
