Country of Fire, Kiba Village.
A small clothing store. The store wasn't big, but the quality wasn't low. The boss was a very enchanting beauty. The clothes she designed were all first-class goods. In addition to high-end goods, there were also slightly lower quality products for the general public.
After all, those kinds of high-end goods weren't easy to get. It required inspiration. Although as long as she sold one piece, she could close the store for three years. But that kind of life wasn't what she liked. She liked her current life. Designing clothes was her hobby. She didn't want to turn it into a burden. Life would be very boring.
Recently, the regulars who came often found that the boss had a helper. It wasn't the white-haired kid who occasionally came to help with the accounts, but a cuter and younger little boy.
Brown hair, purple eyes, and a delicate face with a touch of timidity always made people couldn't help but feel pity for him. At least those aunties who came often liked this soft-spoken child very much.
"Boss, tell me, is he your illegitimate child?"
"This child is so beautiful!"
"Why don't you give him to me? Let him marry my youngest daughter, how about that?"
The customers coming and going teased the boss with all their might, but the most they could do was tease the little boy until he blushed. The boss, on the other hand, was indifferent and didn't care at all.
"Youkimaru, go sweep the floor at the door, there are leaves piled up again." Reiko sat behind the counter and began to drink in the daytime, and she was very rude to Youkimaru.
Youkimaru responded, holding a broom and went out to sweep the floor, smiling and greeting every acquaintance passing by.
Since the end of the battle to catch the Sanbi, Youkimaru's potential was forcibly stimulated by that bastard Kabuto's medicine. He almost died. Fortunately, Sakura received Tsunade's teachings and pulled him back from the gates of hell.
In the end, Aoyama simply brought the little guy back to the village. After being abandoned by Kabuto, Youkimaru completely lost his home. If he was left to wander outside, he estimated that he wouldn't live for more than three days. He thought that it was better to bring him back and put him by Auntie Reiko's side. Otherwise, Auntie Reiko would be very worried if she lived alone.
Therefore, Youkimaru became a small helper in Reiko's store. He was usually responsible for cleaning, cooking, washing dishes, and all the housework was done directly, so that Reiko had more time to drink. It was a subtle difference from Aoyama's original intention.
"Oh, You Onimaru, are you sweeping the floor?" Xiao Ying walked over with a large paper bag in her arms and greeted You Onimaru.
"Sakura -nee-san." Youkimaru raised his head and looked at Sakura with a happy smile. When he noticed the paper bag in Sakura's arms, his little face twitched and looked at the paper bag with fear. "Sakura -nee-san, you're still studying the military food pill!" “
You little brat, how dare you dislike the military food pill I developed. " Sakura raised her eyebrows and pretended to be angry. She waved her fist, and Youkimaru was immediately scared and slipped into the store. He didn't even want the broom in his hand and directly threw it on the ground.
Sakura was suddenly amused by Youkimaru's escape. She couldn't help but laugh. He's so cute!
The hearty laughter echoed on the street, attracting the passers-by to look over, but except for a few idle people, most of the pedestrians just glanced at it and didn't care.
However, a special guest had just come out of a breakfast shop and saw Xiao Ying and You Onimaru talking. His expression changed immediately and his body stiffened, freezing on the spot like a piece of wood.
"Alright, Youkimaru, you can come out now. I won't beat you." Sakura finally stopped laughing and waved at Youkimaru who was leaning against the door.
Youkimaru carefully walked out and picked up the broom on the ground. He continued to sweep the leaves by the door while chatting with Sakura. Most of the time, Sakura was asking about his physical condition.
"You seem to be recovering well, but you should go to the hospital for a check-up in a few days." Sakura was reminding Youkimaru about the things he needed to pay attention to when she suddenly felt a strong sense of killing intent.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of You Onimaru, a murderous aura surging out. In just a moment, You Onimaru's face turned pale. If Xiao Ying had not been quick enough to support You Onimaru, the poor child would not have been able to stand properly.
However, it wasn't Youkimaru's fault. He wasn't a ninja, so he naturally couldn't resist the killing intent. Even Sakura couldn't help but feel cold when facing the person in front of them.
The man was tall and had an eye patch over his right eye. There were two talismans hanging from his ears. He looked to be about forty years old. He had a solemn expression and wore a green robe. There was a misty forehead protector on his forehead.
"Mist Ninja … What do you want to do to the child? This is Kiba! " Sakura shouted. She knew that the Mist Ninjas were communicating with the village and both sides were preparing to form an alliance. Although she had never seen the person in front of her before, she knew that he should be one of the messengers of the Mist Ninjas.
Ao was stunned. He didn't expect this little girl to be so bold and strong. She didn't seem to be old, but she wasn't affected by his killing intent.
Among the Five Great Ninja Villages, the Mist Ninjas have the most murderous nature. Their killing instinct has been engraved in their bones. They also know how to use murderous aura. It's not that Aoki is boasting, but as one of the few veteran Jonins of the Mist, when he releases his murderous aura, ordinary Genin and Chunin don't dare to move in front of him.
"Don't worry, I didn't mean any harm. I was just a little emotional just now. I'm sorry." Aoki restrained his aura and bowed to Xiao Ying and You Onimaru warmly to express his apology.
This little girl was right. This was Kiba, not a place where a Jonin like him could act presumptuously. Especially since the Mizukage-sama was now trying to form an alliance with Kiba. If he caused any trouble and ruined the alliance plan, he wouldn't be able to redeem himself.
Xiao Ying was still staring at Qing warily, protecting the timid You Onimaru, not daring to let her guard down.
"Sakura, what happened?" Ino's voice sounded from behind, making Sakura's heart relaxed. She heard footsteps behind her, indicating that Ino-Shika-Cho had arrived.
Shikamaru stood in front of Ao and said with a smile: "Isn't this Ao sama? Why are you here? What's the matter? Sakura is Hokage-sama's disciple. You'd better think carefully and don't do anything you shouldn't do. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it. "
Halfway through his words, Shikamaru's voice darkened as he bluntly threatened Qing. Choji rubbed his fists as he stood behind Shikamaru. As long as Shikamaru gave the order, he wouldn't hesitate to attack.
