Reborn as Hokage, I am actually a god

Chapter 2 Encounter (page 12)



A small town on the border of the Land of Rain, Year 33, early spring.

The slightly cold wind in the early morning was blowing the drizzle. People who got up early were wearing rain hats and walking in a hurry. There were not many pedestrians on the road. Everyone seemed to have a dull and numb face like this hazy weather.

It has been almost a year since the Second Ninja War. In the Land of Rain, the land of the Fourth War, except for corpses everywhere and famine, there really is no expectation for the new year. People except to continue to live indifferently, probably the remaining Just the hatred and disgust for ninjas, and praying for the war to end soon.

In a building with drafts everywhere and the only room that could provide some shelter from the rain, several half-year-old children huddled together and snuggled together. They were all orphans left by the war and lived on charity every day or picking up garbage.

But in this war-torn era, the adults were hungry and full, and there was extra food for them. They were so hungry that they could only dig grass roots and eat some bark to wrap their breasts.

Leah opened her eyes weakly. As the eldest child, she was the only one who could still go out and do odd jobs and take care of them. Originally there was only one at first, but then she saw more and more people on the roadside and could no longer support them. She couldn't bear the children who were going down, so she could only reluctantly accept them. The days that were already sad became even sadder now!

She had no choice but to look at her younger brothers and sisters who were becoming more and more dependent on her. Lia could only tell herself silently in her heart that she should work harder today, go out more and see if she could get some more casual jobs!

Wake up the younger brothers and sisters and arrange for them to go out to beg. Those who should go to pick up garbage will do so. The older ones will be arranged to dig wild vegetables outside the town and throw bark and grass roots.

Although I know that there are ninjas fighting everywhere now, and they don't care about the life and death of civilians, but if we don't do this, a dozen children will not survive at all!

"Aping, Liqi, you must be careful when you go outside the town today! If you encounter a ninja battle, you must stay far away!" Leah said worriedly

"Sister, don't worry! We will definitely pick more wild vegetables today, and maybe if we are lucky, we can catch a few fish by the river!"

A Ping, who was slightly older, steeled himself and said brightly!

"Yeah, sure!" Leach nodded firmly and agreed.

"Yeah, sister, I believe you, but you must pay attention to safety."

Leah touched Aping's golden, standing hair, and her gentle words were full of worry.

Well, eldest sister, you should pay attention to safety when you go out, and don't come back too late. Those green-skinned people at night are not good people, and they only steal things from the hands of us half-grown children.

Aping clenched his fists and looked at his eldest sister who was getting thinner and thinner. In fact, he felt uncomfortable. He just hoped that he could grow up quickly so that he could help this sister who took care of him.

"Okay! Sister knows!"

The other children also looked at the two Apings who were about to leave with worried faces. Compared to picking up garbage and begging in the town, it was really unsafe outside the town. In the wilds of the town on the front line, there were ninjas around at all times. The battle is a little bad. If the battle is affected, if you are not careful, you will be disabled, not to mention that some perverted ninjas take pleasure in killing civilians. A few days ago, Tietou and Xiaojie went out and never came back. As for Sister Leah, she was sad for many days.

Watching the two people walking away, Leah couldn't help but feel a little more disgusted with the ninjas, and she also felt powerless about her own weakness. If she could be stronger, wouldn't she be able to protect them better!

The children all said goodbye to Leah one by one. Leah looked at the empty room, tidied it up briefly, and was ready to go out to find work!

Leah, 14 years old this year, wears a simple golden ponytail. Long-term malnutrition has made her originally delicate face look sallow and thin. Her eyes are like black gems, but she is extraordinarily energetic. She is one meter tall and thin. He looks like a bean sprout, but he walks briskly and nimblely. His face is always filled with a gentle smile. Even if he is wearing patchwork clothes, he looks extremely friendly. He is in sharp contrast to the numb faces of the people around him. The contrast!

Liya greeted the familiar vendors enthusiastically and asked if there was any temporary work. However, after asking several vendors in succession, they all shook their heads without saying a word. Liya felt a little uneasy in her heart. You can't find any work today!

While Leah was looking around uneasily, an old man called out to her.

"Little girl, are you looking for a job?"

"Yes, grandpa!" Leah nodded hurriedly!

"Just in time, it's almost dinner time. My store is short of a waiter to serve the plates. Little girl, are you quick with your hands and feet?" The old man asked the little girl in front of him with a smile. He knew that this was a good child and that she had adopted a group of people. Cub, although his own life is not very easy, but as a childless man, he doesn't mind helping this little one!

"Please don't worry, uncle, it will definitely be done quickly!" Leah agreed hurriedly.

"Okay then! Come in and work!"

Time passed, and after a busy day, Leah diligently cleaned up the store and put down the apron in her hand.

"Uncle Coco, I've finished cleaning up. Do you want to check it?" Leah shouted towards the bar, her face flushed and sweat dripping from her forehead.

"Girl, you can go back when you're done! Well, when you leave later, go to the kitchen. There are some leftovers today. I asked Chef Xi to pack them for you. You can take them back to eat! By the way, this is yours The salary is one hundred taels, so be sure to keep it!"

"Thank you, Uncle Coco!" Lia was grateful. Although she only worked one job today, the high salary included food, and she could also bring some leftovers home at night. If she saves money, one steamed bun per person per day would be enough. They spent two or three days. Thinking of this, Lia was especially grateful to the old man in front of her!

After bidding farewell to Uncle Coco, Lia carried the three packed leftovers and walked briskly on her way home. It was already getting darker, and it was extremely quiet on the trail late at night, with almost no people in sight.

This is the first time for Leah to go back so late. You must know that the Rain Country is covered with clouds most of the time. At night, there is not even a single starlight, and it is extremely dark. But thinking about the leftovers packed in her hands, Lia was particularly happy, and the dark night road was not so scary!

Liya walked carefully on the road. The cold wind at night, mixed with drizzle, was extremely cold. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in front of her. Liya didn't think much about it, thinking it was a passerby. Liya tightened her grip, and Uncle Coco sent her She put on her raincoat and felt the hot leftovers in her hands, thinking that her younger brothers and sisters would be particularly happy today! The corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly!

"Haha, the little girl is a little happy! It seems that you have gained a lot today! Jie Jie, do you want to give me the things yourself, or should I beat you and then give them to me, hehe!"

Listening to the low and somewhat depressing voice, Lia's heart suddenly became tense.

"Who...who is where?" Because it was too dark, Leah could only see a black figure blocking the front of her. He grabbed the food box tightly, guarded his chest with his hands, and looked ahead warily.

"Who, I'm your dad, haha! Bring it, you!" The black shadow quickly snatched the food box from Leah's hand, waved it casually, and slapped the girl on the face.

Lia felt her hands were empty, and then there was a pain on her face. She lost her footing and fell sideways towards the mud mixed with rain. There was a splash of water on the ground, her head was buzzing, and she was short of breath!
