Under the eaves, the old man fell asleep under the sunshine.
Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan's gentle voice came from the room.
"Grandpa, were you a ninja before?"
The old man opened his eyes, shook his head, and became a little more awake. He subconsciously said:
"Hmph, have you ever heard of the Sanhe Family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered something again.
Looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, he was slightly distracted and said with a slightly lonely expression:
“You probably haven’t heard of it, because I’m the only one left now.
The Sanhe family was a famous warrior family in ancient times.
Later, when ninjas became more prosperous, the Sanhe family became the ninja clan.
It's just that during the Warring States Period, only three or two kittens were left among the family members.
By the time the First Hokage established Konoha, I was the only one left in the entire Sanhe family.
Not long after, the first ninja war broke out, and our whole family went to the battlefield.
It was at that time that my legs became crippled and my son and wife died. "
As people get older, they can’t stop chatting.
When the old man stopped, he realized that he seemed to have said a little too much.
However, Uchiha Tunan was not surprised at all. Instead, he asked in a curious tone through the wall:
"You must have been very strong back then."
The old man raised his eyebrows and said slightly proudly:
"That's natural, I used to be an ANBU squad leader.
Led a team to perform S-level missions.
It’s just a pity…”
The old man gently patted his paralyzed legs.
"War is so cruel..."
In the house, Uchiha Tunan put the last sundry into the cabinet.
Sunlight streamed into the room from the window behind him, making it difficult to see Uchiha Tunan's current expression.
I saw Uchiha Tunan slowly getting up, picking up the handkerchief and walking towards the toilet.
The clutter has been cleared away, now all that needs to be done is to dust it.
But when Uchiha Tunan opened the toilet door, the scene in front of him made Uchiha Tunan frown slightly.
I saw filth everywhere in the toilet. I don't know how long the toilet has been blocked.
A breathtaking smell permeated the air, slightly spicy.
Based on the old man's previous performance, Uchiha Tunan roughly guessed why he was so stingy and asked ninjas to clean it.
At this moment, the old man pushed a wheelchair and came behind Uchiha Tunan, coughing lightly with a guilty look on his face:
"Ahem, little guy, abandoning the mission will leave a record on your resume."
Uchiha Tunan turned around, narrowed his eyes at the old man and said with a smile: "Don't you have a toilet plug at home?"
"No." The old man shook his head.
Uchiha Tunan nodded, bowed and said, "Please wait for me."
After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
After a while, Uchiha Tunan came back with tools in the old man's anxious eyes.
Ignoring the filth in the toilet, I started to clean it up.
The old man looked at Uchiha Tunan who was working hard to clean the toilet, and a trace of apology flashed in his eyes.
After Uchiha Tunan finished cleaning the toilet, he stood up and began to wipe the dust on the furniture.
Throughout the entire process, Uchiha Tunan maintained a focused look.
Even when facing those small items, Uchiha Tunan took out a small brush from his shirt pocket and carefully brushed off the dust.
The old man swore that he had never seen anyone doing housework so carefully.
Simply art.
It wasn't until noon that Uchiha Tunan finished wiping the floor for the third time.
After spraying the perfume everywhere in the room, he came to the old man respectfully, put his hands on his knees and bowed:
"I have cleaned it, please check."
The old man felt increasingly guilty as he saw that Uchiha Tunan's originally clean white shirt was now wrinkled and discolored.
"You did very well."
Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly, handed the task sheet and pen to the front at the same time and said:
"Then please sign the task list."
The old man signed his name happily and hesitated for a moment.
Taking out the two thousand taels that Kakashi had handed over from his arms, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
The money and the task list were forced into the hands of Uchiha Tunan.
"These two thousand taels are your tip. Let's go."
"Grandpa, you are so kind. I thank you on Kakashi's behalf."
With a sunny smile on Uchiha Tunan's face, he left the yard and went to the Hokage Building to hand in the task.
After Uchiha Tunan left, the old man pushed the wheelchair to the bedroom and took out a photo frame from the bedside table.
In the photo frame, there is a happy family of three.
The old man stretched out his trembling hand and gently touched the photo frame.
"If Imaru hadn't died, he would have great-grandchildren by now, as well-behaved as this little guy."
The old man let out a long sigh, put the photo frame back on the bedside table, and turned to the kitchen.
When I opened the refrigerator, there were only a few rice balls left over from the morning.
Since the death of his family, the old man has become increasingly withdrawn.
In addition, he is known far and wide as an iron rooster, and the neighbors are unwilling to interact with him.
The old man reached out and took out two rice balls from the refrigerator, holding them in his hands, ready to wait for the rice balls to thaw on their own before eating.
"I have to go out again in the afternoon." The old man sighed, leaning on the back of his wheelchair and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Gugu~"
At this time, most of the villagers went home to eat.
It was quiet outside, with only a few sporadic birds chirping.
The old man leaned on the back of the wheelchair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell into a false sleep.
Time passed little by little.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The old man opened and closed his eyelids several times, finally woke up and shouted:
"who."
"Dang Dang Dang..."
The old man frowned, pushed the wheelchair to the door with one hand, and pushed the door open.
The moment the door was opened, warm sunlight poured in.
I saw Uchiha Tunan holding the ingredients in both hands, with a smile like the warm sunshine of early spring, and said gently:
“When I was cleaning before, I saw that there was nothing to eat in your refrigerator.
I guess it's not convenient for you to go shopping, so I bought some for you. "
The old man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Thank you, little one, I don't need these things."
After all, my legs are inconvenient, so it is very difficult to cook a good meal. I usually just eat some rice balls.
If you want to eat meat, wrap some marinated meat in a rice ball.
Uchiha Tunan glanced at the old man's legs and said gently:
“Everything you buy is a waste if you don’t eat it.
Why don't I do it for you? I'm the only one left at home anyway.
Why don't we eat together so I can have company? "
The old man's expression was slightly moved, and he was obviously a little moved.
"As you wish."
Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly, walked in, took the rice ball from the old man's hand and threw it into the trash can.
"These rice balls are not nutritious, so don't eat them."
After saying that, he came to the kitchen, tied the apron around his waist, and started cooking.
Make a fire and add oil.
"Da da da......."
The sound of chopping vegetables sounded rhythmically.
