271. Chapter 271: Strawberry Flavor Is Still Too Early for Children

As plates of ingredients that made men cry and women silent were served into the private room, the diners in the barbecue shop, regardless of gender, all showed a knowing expression, whispering about the people in the private room, saying that there must be a tough battle tonight.

Inside the private room, the two Hei Laoda who were wolfing down their food had such heroic eating manners that they stunned the few little ones who were grinding their teeth on the rod-shaped ingredients.

Swallowing a suspicious ingredient that was grilled with oil, the curly-haired Hei Laoda raised his head and drank the deer whip wine shared by Uchiha Gin. Accompanied by the intense burning sensation in his throat, he couldn't help but praise.

"This wine with barbecue is really great!"

I didn't expect Konoha to have such fine wine, which is no less than the fine wine of the Land of Lightning.

And the bearded Hei Laoda beside him, his mouth was already stuffed with barbecue. Regarding his Laoda's words, he could only nod repeatedly to show agreement.

Quietly looking at the two Hei Laoda who seemed to have fled from Africa, Uchiha Gin sipped his tea thoughtfully, and couldn't help but worry about the living conditions of the Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao brothers in his heart. He could only hope that the two little Laodi wouldn't be malnourished and short because they couldn't eat enough.

"Thank you for your wine, my name is A, from the Land of Lightning, I haven't asked for your name yet."

After the wine and meat passed through his intestines, the First Raikage felt his whole body warm, and there was a trace of dryness and heat in his lower abdomen. Looking at Uchiha Gin, who was drinking tea and didn't move his chopsticks, he smiled and asked.

"My name is Uchiha Gin, I'm a jailer waiting for a job at home."

Putting down the teacup, Uchiha Gin showed a warm smile.

"Jailer? I didn't expect Gin-kun to be a civil servant."

Witnessing what happened on the street before, the First Raikage had always thought that Uchiha Gin was a high-level figure in Konoha, but he didn't expect him to be just an ordinary jailer.

"Then who is this brother with a good appetite..."

Nodding seriously, Uchiha Gin expressed that I am at the grassroots level and I am proud. He turned his gaze to the bearded Hei Laoda who was still eating bull treasure, and appropriately showed a look of doubt.

"Crunch, crunch... I am..."

The bearded Hei Laoda, who was suddenly asked, was stunned after hearing Uchiha Gin's words. His wide bull eyes were full of confusion.

Ever since he became the only candidate for the Second Raikage, according to custom, he had to abandon his previous name and change his code name to A, the same as the First Raikage.

"Gin-kun, he is also called A."

The First Raikage saw his subordinate's embarrassment and explained.

"Your naming is quite casual~"

Touching his chin thoughtfully, Uchiha Gin looked at the bearded Hei Laoda who was nodding, and said.

"Little A classmate?"

"I'm here."

The bearded Hei Laoda answered subconsciously.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Although being called Little A classmate made him a bit awkward, after all, he had inherited the name of the First Raikage, so the bearded Hei Laoda accepted this strange nickname very proudly.

"Nothing, nothing, order more if it's not enough, I'll treat you to this meal."

"Thank you~"

"How can I be embarrassed, Gin-kun."

The First Raikage, who had never thought of white-prostituting, hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

"It doesn't matter, meeting is fate. Speaking of the Land of Lightning, I still have two little Laodi who are living a miserable life and begging for food over there. I don't know if they can eat enough now~"

Uchiha Gin could still afford a little money. Looking at the honest and honest Hei Laoda, he sighed quite a bit, only hoping that the two little Laodi wouldn't be malnourished because they couldn't eat enough.

"I didn't expect Gin-kun to have brothers in the Land of Lightning. I can also speak in the Land of Lightning. If Gin-kun's Laodi have any difficulties, just come to me."

The First Raikage, who had always been heroic, guaranteed after hearing Uchiha Gin's narration.

"Then thank you very much~"

Thinking that the First Raikage was also a figure, Uchiha Gin pondered for a while, and thanked the two Laodi, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, in advance. He didn't know if the two Laodi had climbed into the upper circle of the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Hoo~ What are the names of Gin-san's Laodi? When I go back, I will arrange a position for them that is less work and more pay~"

On the other side, the Second Raikage, Little A classmate, who had stuffed the last piece of barbecue into his stomach, also said with certainty.

"Then I'll trouble Little A classmate. My two Laodi were a ninja clan that fled to the Land of Lightning a long time ago."

"Refugees, right? Do they have names?"

"That's natural. They were once a famous family, but unfortunately, they stood on the wrong side, offended the wrong people, and in the end, their families were broken and they could only flee to the Land of Lightning."

Thinking of the miserable encounters of the two Laodi, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but sigh. He had been looking at that white hair more and more unpleasantly recently.

I don't know if the two Laodi have practiced the art of war, and if they can reproduce the great achievements of the original work and properly clean up that guy Senju Tobirama.

After recalling, Uchiha Gin looked at the two Hei Laoda who were listening attentively, smiled, and said the names of the two Laodi.

"My two Laodi, one is called Jin Jiao, who has a bit of premature aging, and the other is called Yin Jiao, who has a congenital emo constitution. When they were sent to the Land of Lightning, they were only ten years old. They left their hometown at a young age. I hope they didn't suffer any bullying in the Land of Lightning."

"Pfft!!!"

The two Hei Laoda, who were listening intently to Uchiha Gin's narration, sprayed the wine in their mouths together after hearing the names of the two Laodi. Fortunately, Uchiha Gin was quick-eyed and quick-handed, picked up the tray on the table to block it, and avoided being washed by the Water Style.

"Cough, cough, cough... Gin-kun, are you sure you didn't remember wrong?"

The First Raikage, whose black face was purple, coughed a few times and looked at Uchiha Gin in front of him in disbelief. He broke his head and couldn't connect the two fierce generals under his command with the lonely orphans in Uchiha Gin's mouth.

"How could it be, I personally sent them to the Land of Lightning back then."

Seeing Uchiha Gin's serious expression, the Second Raikage quietly leaned into the First Raikage's ear and said.

"Lord A, I remember that Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao and the Hagoromo clan were entrusted to us by people of the Uchiha clan back then."

Without his reminder, as the direct superior of Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, the First Raikage naturally knew very well about the origin of the two. He nodded without a trace, looking at Uchiha Gin who had a look of expectation in front of him, his tone was a bit unnatural.

"Gin-kun, if I'm not mistaken, your two Laodi should be living quite well in the Land of Lightning, or even say they have a bright future."

The First Raikage really didn't tell the truth. In his plan, the bearded Hei Laoda who had followed him for many years had been designated as the Second Raikage, while the young and vigorous Jin Jiao was being cultivated as a candidate for the Third.

As long as there are no accidents, the position of the Third Raikage will be Jin Jiao's pocket.

"So you know each other, that's good, that's good. I hope you will take care of my two Laodi and don't let them suffer any grievances."

Seeing that the First Raikage was a reasonable person, Uchiha Gin immediately poured himself a glass, touched the two Hei Laoda, and drank it down.

Two Laodi, don't blame the older brother for not paving the way for you. The relationship has been found for you. I hope you two will be competitive and don't lose face.

"Definitely, definitely!"

The two Hei Laoda looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

After eating and drinking, Uchiha Gin waved goodbye to the two Hei Laoda with the few little ones.

"Gin-kun, thank you for your hospitality, see you again if fate allows~"

"Absolutely~"

Walking a hundred steps after a meal can make you live to ninety-nine. Uchiha Gin upheld the concept of longevity, took the full few little ones, and began to walk on the street.

"Gin-san-san, we are so hot!"

But before walking far, the few little ones called out one after another. Uchiha Gin looked down at the few little ghosts with red faces and red ears, a flash of teasing smile on his face, and then his expression became serious, and he said to the few people.

"Hot? It's right to be hot. This is also a part of cultivation. If you can't even endure this bit of dryness and heat, how can you become a qualified ninja?"

"But we are really hot, not because of the weather, but because of the heat in our bodies."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sticking out his tongue, pulled his collar and said very painfully.

"Yeah, yeah!"

The few little ones echoed one after another.

"No, I want to eat ice!"

As the player with the biggest butt among the few little ones, Danzo felt that his groove was full of sweat, and he could spray water when he farted.

"Eat ice? It's not impossible~"

After all, Uchiha Gin was not a devil. He nodded thoughtfully, looked at the sky that was not too late, and said to the few little ones who were full of anticipation.

"Run fifty laps around Konoha, I'll wait for you at the cold drink shop at the entrance of the village."

Stretching out a palm, Uchiha Gin smiled and arranged a new cultivation task for the few little ones.

"Don't!"

"I won't eat, I won't eat!"

The few little ones were like mourning, rolling on the ground begging for forgiveness.

"It's okay if you don't go. Those who don't go, don't think about receiving my guidance in the future!"

"Go, go, go!"

When the few little ones heard this, they ran away quickly, fearing that they would be a step late and wouldn't be able to eat ice.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is youth!"

Looking at the running figures of the few little ones, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but sigh that youth is priceless~

At the other end of the street, a ferocious-looking bald tattooed man was followed by a petite and cute purple-haired little loli. For the dazzling array of goods on the street, the little loli felt that her eyes were about to be dazzled, and her watery eyes were full of envy.

"Teacher, teacher, what is that?"

"Teacher, teacher, this red bean snack is so delicious~"

Along the way, the chattering voice of the little loli wearing exotic costumes attracted passersby to stop and look. After seeing such a cute little guy, everyone showed a doting smile, but after seeing the bald man who didn't leave her side, everyone tightened their hearts.

Some enthusiastic masses have even started to contact the security team.

"Sir, there is a kidnapper there!"

"Chiyo, as a ninja, you can't be surprised~"

Shamon, who didn't know how many waves of people had come to question him, looked helplessly at his little disciple behind him.

"Ah? Sorry, teacher."

Wearing a gorgeous purple cane on her waist, the little girl who was called out recognized her mistake with some grievance.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Seeing that her little apprentice was about to cry, looking at the passersby who had started pointing, Shamon had to take out a few banknotes common in the Land of Fire and put them in the girl's hand.

"These money are for you, buy whatever snacks you want, I'll go to some places you are not convenient to enter to investigate information~"

"Hoo~ Okay, teacher!"

Getting a stack of pocket money that was not small, Little Chiyo immediately smiled, and the grievance just now vanished instantly.

"Remember the location of the reception? If you encounter any danger, send a signal."

"Got it, teacher, go and get busy!"

Happily counting the banknotes in her hand, Little Chiyo urged without raising her head.

"Also, don't cause trouble."

"Got it, got it~"

"Hehe, with this money, I can go eat ice cream!"

Looking at her teacher's back, Little Chiyo smiled and tucked the banknotes close to her body. Due to the special climate of the Land of Wind, she had only heard of ice cream from the mouths of traveling merchants.

Following Shamon to the Land of Fire this time, Little Chiyo's ultimate goal was to taste the legendary ice cream. If possible, she also wanted to bring one for her younger brother.

"However, where is the ice cream?"

Now that the funds were in place, but where was ice cream sold in Konoha Village? Little Chiyo hadn't found out yet, and just when she was at a loss, a noisy sound suddenly sounded behind her.

"Let me through! Let me through!"

Little Chiyo, who didn't know what the other party intended, turned her head in confusion and saw a group of five boys and one girl of the same age as her, all with red faces, running with all their might.

"Excuse me, do you know where ice cream is sold?"

Seeing that the few people were all peers, Little Chiyo, who was a bit timid, mustered up the courage to ask.

"Hoo~ We are cultivating, please let me through!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was the leader, had red eyes at this moment. He couldn't see the appearance of the person in front of him, only knowing that the other party was blocking his way.

"If it's ice cream, there is a very famous ice shop at the entrance of the village."

Uchiha Mirror, who had a smaller appetite, could still barely suppress the rising flames in his body. Seeing that the other party was a little girl of the same age as him, he calmed down and answered.

"Uh... thank you~"

Little Chiyo looked at Uchiha Mirror, who had a handsome face, and couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. In the Hidden Sand Village, she hadn't seen such a handsome little boy, and couldn't help but look at him in a daze.

Shimura Danzo, who was beside Uchiha Mirror, turned his red eyes, and when his gaze fell on Chiyo's cute little face, his heart, which was already accelerating, suddenly accelerated like liquid nitrogen, almost jumping out of his chest. The dryness and heat of his body became more and more serious. It was the feeling of heartbeat.

"You... you are not from Konoha, right?"

"None of your business!"

After hearing the question from the side, she turned her head and saw a black-haired boy with a huge butt and a ferocious face, and immediately frowned.

You kind of goods, dare to talk to this lady?

"Mirror, let's go quickly, don't continue to delay here."

Seeing Uchiha Mirror being pestered by a stranger, Utatane Koharu, whose head was a bit hot, urged with some jealousy.

"Okay."

Smiling warmly at Little Chiyo, Uchiha Mirror followed the pace of the large army. There were still 45 laps to go before eating ice.

"It's a pity that it's not a child from our Hidden Sand Village."

Looking at Uchiha Mirror's dancing curly hair with some regret, Little Chiyo pouted with some regret, and then walked in the direction pointed by the other party.

Cold Drink Shop

As a regular customer, Uchiha Gin lifted the curtain and walked in. After seeing a familiar back, he smiled and greeted.

"Little Zhili, why are you free to come to the shop to help today?"

I saw the girl who was called by name suddenly stiffen her movements. A few seconds later, she raised her head, her face was still the cold expression as usual. After watching Uchiha Gin sit down, Uchiha Zhili nodded.

"I just happened to have no missions recently, so I came to help Mother."

Although the expression was still the usual expression, Uchiha Zhili's eyes were inexplicably more erratic, and the tone of speaking was also a bit teasing.

"It's you, Mr. Gin, why didn't you accompany Senior Guang at home, but ran out to steal food?"

Hearing the girl's words, Uchiha Gin subconsciously understood it as Uchiha Zhili complaining about him coming out to secretly eat sweets, and then smiled and laughed.

"Hehe, Little Zhili is still good, unlike Little Guang, she wouldn't let me eat such sweet things."

The girl heard this, a faint smile pulled from the corner of her mouth, then flipped the ice knife in her hand, and asked.

"Still honey syrup strawberry shaved ice?"

"Add sugar, add honey, don't shave ice!"

A moment later, a bowl of strawberry shaved ice covered with honey syrup was served by the girl.

"Mm, mm, mm~ It's so good to be alive!"

Busy scooping a large spoonful into his mouth, the rich sweetness made Uchiha Gin couldn't help but narrow his eyes and enjoy it fiercely.

Uchiha Zhili sat in front of Uchiha Gin, looking at the happy expression of her teacher, the girl subconsciously clamped her legs.

That special experience of Owatatsumi, she still remembers it vividly until now. Two intoxicating crimson colors quietly floated on Uchiha Zhili's cold and beautiful cheeks.

Uchiha Gin, who was opposite her, seemed to see some clues. Looking at the girl's cheeks that were red for some reason, he painfully pushed his shaved ice over.

"Little Zhili~ only one bite!"

Look at how hot my Little Zhili is, hurry up and eat a bite of shaved ice to cool down.

"No

Glancing at the spoon in Uchiha Gin's hand, which was covered in a suspicious liquid, the young girl subconsciously swallowed, but her reason quickly regained the high ground; she immediately shook her head, indicating that she was just a bit out of breath from exercising.

"Hello, may I ask if you have ice cream?"

Just as Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Li were chatting, a timid voice drifted in. The two turned their heads in unison to see a little girl standing at the entrance, not daring to step inside.

Just moments ago, after walking through several streets, little Chiyo had finally found the cold drink shop Uchiha Kagami had pointed out. But looking at the gorgeously and cutely decorated entrance before her, the little girl felt a bit inferior as she looked down at her own rustic clothing.

Could someone looking as rustic as her really enter such a cute shop to eat ice cream?

Finally, after a fierce internal struggle, she couldn't help but come to the door and stand on tiptoe to peer inside. Upon confirming there were people, little Chiyo gathered her courage and asked if they had the ice cream she dreamed of.

Hearing the little girl's inquiry, Uchiha Li, acting as the young proprietor and shop assistant, stood up and beckoned to the timid little Chiyo outside the door, a smile appearing on her icy face.

"Come in, we have many flavors of ice cream here~"

Uchiha Gin, meanwhile, curiously sized up the little girl in her unfamiliar attire. Upon catching a glimpse of the staff hanging from her waist, he suddenly realized the truth, and a bit more understanding appeared in his eyes.

"Thank you, Miss. I would like a serving of ice cream. Do you think this is enough?"

Infected by Uchiha Li's smile, little Chiyo finally stepped inside. Looking at the cute elements filling the shop, the little girl nervously twisted the corner of her shirt, gritted her teeth, and took out all her paper money, her eyes filled with longing.

In little Chiyo's view, such a cute shop must sell ice cream at a high price, and she didn't know if the money she brought was enough.

"More than enough; just one bill is plenty."

Looking at the paper money the little girl pushed forward, Uchiha Li chose the bill with the smallest denomination to keep and returned the rest in full.

"What flavor would you like?"

"Uh..."

This stumped little Chiyo. Since Uchiha Li's family shop basically only sold to regular customers, there were no menus or price lists, aside from some pictures on the wall.

"I recommend you try the strawberry flavor; it's addictive~"

Just as little Chiyo's face turned red, Uchiha Gin, who had just been battling his shaved ice, stood behind her without her noticing.

"Ah!"

Someone suddenly standing behind her made little Chiyo, who possessed no small amount of ninja training, tense up. She subconsciously reached for the staff at her waist, but before she could make a move, a pair of warm, large hands had already patted her head.

"But the strawberry flavor, a sign of a mature adult, is still a bit too early for a brat like you. Why not try vanilla instead~"

Uchiha Gin, skillfully ruffling her hair, said his recommendation with a smile.

"Hey~ who are you?"

Feeling she was being taken advantage of, little Chiyo reached out to swat away Uchiha Gin's mischievous hand and pouted angrily. After this commotion, the little girl no longer felt the previous restraint.

"Heh heh~ Since you've asked with such sincerity! I am merely a passerby..."

As if he had hit a certain point, Uchiha Gin covered his face, struck an incredibly chuunibyou pose, and replied in a low voice.

"Mr. Gin, don't bully my customer."

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Li couldn't help but roll her eyes at her teacher, incidentally interrupting his chanting, and then lowered her head to ask little Chiyo, who had regained her liveliness.

"Little guest, what flavor do you usually like to eat?"

"Red bean! I want to eat red bean flavor~"

Recalling the red bean pancake she had just finished, little Chiyo subconsciously swallowed; the dense sweetness still lingered on her lips and teeth.

"Alright, wait a moment, the red bean ice cream will be ready right away~"

"Thank you, Miss!"

"Little Li, give me a refill, would you~"

Uchiha Gin, on the side, held his nearly finished shaved ice and shamelessly tried to come over for a refill.

"Sorry, Mr. Gin. Senior Guang instructed me earlier that you can only have one bowl a month." (End of chapter)
