Senju Naoki hugged his knees with both hands and curled up in his favorite little "secret base" when going out to play - a tree hole. He lowered his head and buried his face in his legs.

He and his younger brother Hideki both like trees and feel close to them from the bottom of their hearts.

Maybe one day in the future, they will wake up to Mu Dun like their parents. However, this kind of thing that seems very important to outsiders may not be so important to adults at home. Mom, dad, and other people, to him and

Hideki has only one request——

Be healthy, safe and happy.

The two brothers have indeed been living happily.

...I thought it would last forever. Even if I get married and have children in the future, I would still have to live with my parents and other elders. But, why did it suddenly change?

Just went to the casino once like my father...

It was as if his mother suddenly didn't like him.

…Is it because he doesn’t look like his mother?

No, No, that’s definitely not the case.

Senju Naoki shook his head vigorously, and then, the tears on his mother's face just now appeared in his mind, and he thought desperately: I actually made my mother cry... No one in the family has ever done this, and I actually made my mother cry.

Crying... Now, my mother definitely hates me even more, and others definitely don’t like me either...

Just at this moment, footsteps came from outside the tree hole.

Senju Naoki's shoulders tensed up, but he quickly recognized that these were the footsteps of "Brother Jing", so he relaxed instantly.

Although according to their age, Uchiha Kagami and others are enough to be the uncles of Senju Naoki and Senju Hideki brothers, but things like "seniority" are so helpless sometimes. Who makes them disciples of Senju Tobirama?

Then I have no choice but to become equals with the two brats.

Fortunately, Uchiha Mirror doesn't care too much about this. Moreover, he also likes the two children of the same bloodline as Hokage from the bottom of his heart. They are smart, confident, lively and cute, and they have what he has dreamed of since he was a child.

Family. Looking at them, he knew what a child born in a happy family would look like. He also wanted to protect them well, because this was also the teacher's wish.

Uchiha Kage did not poke his head into the tree hole to look for anyone, but sat down cross-legged by the tree, leaning his back against the tree, and said softly: "Naoki, do you need a handkerchief?"

After a while...

A small voice came from the tree hole: "No need, Brother Jing."

"Then, would you like to chat?"

"……Um."

"Are you angry with the Nidaime Hokage-sama?"

"How could it be..." Senju Naoki whispered, "It's my mother who is angry with me, right? After all, I made her cry."

"How could she be angry with you?" Uchiha Kagami said in a soft tone, "Everyone knows and can see that she loves you and Hideki."

"..."

"Well, let's put it this way, all the children in Konoha envy you for having such a mother."

"Brother Jing is also envious?"

Uchiha Kage couldn't help but laugh: "I'm not a child anymore." He paused and continued, "But... I'm still a little envious." If the teacher is an ideal father, then Hoshi... the second generation

, is the ideal mother.

Ah, it’s not that Hashirama-sama is not good, but everyone has preferences, right?

"...Brother Jing, do you think what I did was wrong?" Senju Naoki asked in a low voice.

"The important thing is not whether I feel it or not, but it depends on you, Naoki." Uchiha Kage replied, "Do you think you did something wrong?" He thought, even if everyone in the world says that this kid is wrong, it doesn't matter.

The purpose of Mr. Hoshi... to make Naoki realize this is her most fundamental purpose.

Senju Naoki was silent, and he murmured in a low voice: "I won't do the same thing again in the future, why not..."

Uchiha Kage raised his hand and scratched his hair, thinking: Is this the point? He understood a little bit why she was so angry...

So, he changed the topic and said: "Naoki, as the saying goes, 'the arms can't hold the thighs.' It's not an option for you to continue to compete with Mr. Hoshi like this. It's better to pay back the money early and admit your mistake, what do you think?"

Senju Naoki fell silent.

Uchiha Mirror waited for a while before continuing: "Or do you really plan to stay estranged from Mr. Hoshi for two years like this?"

"I don't want it!" Senju Naoki said aggrievedly - he couldn't bear it for a few days, let alone two years. But then, he was very entangled, "Mom forbids other people to lend me money...

"Otherwise, how simple would it be? Let's not talk about dad, a "poor guy" who has been without money for ten thousand years. Second uncle, Uncle Ban and Uncle Quan Nai are all richer than the other. To them, seven hundred thousand taels is no different from seventy taels.

Right? They must be willing to repay the money for him, after all, they love him so much. Moreover, Hideki must be willing to use the small treasury to help his brother.

"But, Hoshi-sama hasn't forbidden you from 'making money' yourself, right?" Uchiha Kagami said with a smile.

"Ah..." Senju Naoki was stunned, and then he reacted, "Yeah..." The reason why he didn't have such a concept was because he had never "worked" since he was a child, and he hadn't graduated yet.

Naturally, it is impossible to accept tasks like others. But, "What can I do..."

"This is simple." Uchiha Mirror rubbed his chin and said, "Isn't it better if I take on some D-level tasks in the village that don't require leaving the village, and then outsource them to you? Of course, I have to take a commission, otherwise Master Xing may be

It won’t be approved.”

"That makes sense!" Senju Naoki's eyes lit up, "Brother Jing, please take 50% of the commission." He said as he got out of the tree hole, "Are we going to take on the mission now?" He and

The biological father also belongs to the type with super strong action. Once he has made up his mind, he will not waste a second.

Uchiha Mirror thought a little funny: He is indeed a child who has never suffered...

He said: "It doesn't cost that much, just 20%. It's a reasonable price."

Soon...

The two arrived at Konoha's mission release point.

Normally speaking, Senju Naoki is not allowed to enter, but who makes him the Hokage's child?

Although he may not realize it himself, he does enjoy many "dividends" that ordinary people cannot enjoy because of his background. And these will indeed influence a person subtly.

Due to family reasons, Senju Naoki, who had just entered the first grade of the Ninja School, had no problem with literacy at all. When he looked at the mission scroll and saw the D-level mission released, his expression suddenly collapsed——

"It's one thousand taels for picking up garbage; two thousand taels for catching cats; two thousand five hundred taels for cleaning up dog poop; three thousand taels for helping with the children... What are these!"

"Quests." Uchiha Mirror replied, "These are basically the tasks that can be released in the village." After all, Konoha is extremely peaceful now.

"...Brother Jing, are these the tasks you did in the past?"

"No." Uchiha Kaoru replied with a smile, "I had already been on the battlefield when the village was built. Later, I directly passed the ninja level assessment and became a ninja. I can take on missions out of the village." Ninjas of the same age as him are almost the same.

This is the case. Only the next generation of little ninjas can enjoy such "gentle treatment", starting from the simplest tasks.

Senju Naoki really wanted to say: Otherwise, Brother Jing, can you take me out of the village to do a mission?

But he also knew that this was impossible.

Besides, he, who has free access to his father and his uncle's study, also knows that Konoha is indeed peaceful, but the entire ninja world must still be "undercurrents". If he, the son of the Hokage, leaves the village rashly, he will easily get into trouble if he doesn't do well.

Not only will it implicate Brother Jing, but it may also...

The cost is too high and the benefits obtained are too small, so it is not worth it.

Senju Naoki immediately made a judgment.

Under the current circumstances, the only possible way seems to be Brother Jing's proposal. There are other ways to make money, but they probably won't be approved by my mother...

Thinking of this, he sighed, raised his hand and clicked on the cat catching tasks and various tasks of finding people and items on the scroll, and said: "Brother Jing, help me take these."

"No, Naoki." Uchiha Kage said with a smile, "You can only pick up one at a time. This is also to complete the village's tasks more efficiently."

"...Then let's find the person with the highest salary." Senju Naoki curled his lips and said somewhat unhappily.

"Okay." Uchiha Mirror followed his words.

After a while, the two people walked out of the door holding the mission scroll.

Senju Naoki turned his head and asked Uchiha Mirror: "Is it possible to use any method to complete the task?"

Uchiha Kage thought for a while and replied: "Theoretically, ninjas can do whatever it takes to complete their tasks, but this is Konoha after all, and they still have to abide by the law."

"That's no problem!" Senju Naoki smiled, then put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly: "Nine Lamas, help me!!!"

After a while.

A little fox appeared in front of him with a bang. This was one of the clones of the Nine-Tails responsible for guarding Konoha.

"Naoki," the little orange fox squatted in front of Senju Naoki, swung his tail and asked, "What's wrong?"

The way it looked at the child could be called "loving". After all, this was Hoshi-chan's child, and it was the one it watched grow up little by little.

Senju Naoki squatted down, grabbed the scroll and showed it to Kyuubi: "Kuro Lama, can you help find someone?" Kyuubi, who is good at sensing malice, has placed many clones throughout the village in order to protect Konoha, so

He is absolutely good at finding people to find things. Anyway, he also asked Brother Jing, and he said, "As long as you don't break the law or commit any crime, you can do whatever it takes," so it should be no problem.

"Let me take a look." Kyuubi put his head on the scroll and looked at it carefully.

Uchiha mirror on the side: "..."

He was feeling complicated at the moment, but he also felt from the bottom of his heart that this child really needed to be disciplined. Maybe Naoki himself didn't have this awareness, but he was really good at taking advantage of the rules——

This is a "bad habit" that smart people with "channels" in their hands can easily get into. For example, Danzo and Monobu, who committed crimes in the past two years and are still "working with guilt" today, would not get rid of it early.
