Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Thank you for your patronage, welcome to come again next time."

The butcher shop in Muye Village has been in operation for more than a hundred years. The boss looked at the white-haired young man in front of him, bowed slightly from the bottom of his heart, but made a thank-you gift that he hadn't done for a long time, and said sincerely.

"boss……"

However, facing the sincere thanks from the butcher shop owner, the white-haired young man frowned slowly, as if hesitating for a moment, and finally chose to speak.

"What's the matter? Is there any problem with the meat? Lord Chiba."

In this regard, the face of the butcher shop owner flashed a trace of solemnity, walked out from the counter, stopped beside the white-haired young man, and looked at the meat of the half pig on the stall next to the white-haired young man. The meat, and the only remaining venison in the store, after checking up and down, looked at the white-haired young man, and asked.

"no."

Regarding this, the white-haired youth shook his head and said.

It was Chiba.

"Is there any problem there?"

Hearing this, the butcher shop owner asked again. At this time, the butcher shop owner's brows were already frowned, apparently unable to think of any problems.

"price."

At this time, Qianye's eyes had already fallen on the price signs of various parts hanging above the door frame of this store.

The problem lies here, the price is wrong.

According to Chiba's estimation, the boss underestimated at least 50% of his money for his own meat.

"Hahaha! This one! This is a discount for you. 50% discount!"

Regarding this, the butcher shop owner suddenly laughed and said.

Yeah……

It turned out to be a question of price!

It's not about the meat!

Really... Chiba-sama is too serious.

But his originally uneasy heart calmed down at this time, and such a thought flashed through his mind.

Originally, he thought there was something wrong with the meat, but it was really a big problem. This not only related to the signboard of the century-old shop he inherited from his ancestors, but also related to the signboard of his Konoha century-old meat farm.

However, the signboard is second.

This was sold to Lord Chiba!

As a person who has experienced that era, when he knew that Lord Chiba had died in battle, he could hardly believe it, and what followed was a kind of despair.

To be honest, at the beginning, he thought that the whole Konoha was going to end.

He has even made a plan that he would rather be broken than broken.

And it was at that time that he truly understood that the boy who was disgusted by the village and even him was already such an important person, and in his mind, he was already such an important person.

Someone he admired and trusted from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, at that time, he was also ashamed of his disgust and unfair treatment of this child.

Moreover, this shame has continued to this day, this moment, and this moment.

So, this time, whether it was out of personal affection or guilt, he decided to sell the best meat to the young man in front of him at half price.

If it wasn't for fear that the young man in front of him would not accept it, he would even have planned to give it away for nothing.

Be it, a little bit of compensation and respect for this young man.

However, I didn't expect that the young man in front of me would discover it so keenly.

But thinking about it, it’s Konoha’s hero in front of me, the future fifth-generation Hokage, who has experienced so many battles, large and small, and should be performing tasks that only he can perform that they dare not even think about in the past ten years , His small hands and feet were found to be normal.

Ah……

But at this moment, Qianye sighed deeply in his heart.

Which one is it?

At the same time, such a helpless thought flashed through his mind.

To be honest, the butcher in front of him was not the first one to lower his price unknowingly, and the discount was not even the lowest.

The most exaggerated thing is that the vegetable market next door to the butcher shop gave him a discount, almost for free.

It is precisely because of this that he is concerned about the price.

Otherwise, it is estimated that the price of meat would not be so quickly noticed.

Along the way, Qianye paid attention.

As for why these merchants gave him such a big discount and such a big price cut, Qianye still knows it well.

"Then I'll pay the original price. Can you deliver it to my home? I still have a lot of things to buy and I just came back."

However, Chiba didn't intend to accept it, and said.

Although Konoha also has a series of punishments for bribery, and he is considered to be in a high position now, this should not be regarded as bribery, and it is harmless to accept it.

It's just that Chiba is not very willing to accept this kind of discount.

It's still the same as before. He has already felt the changes in how the villagers treat him more than ten years ago, and he thinks it's enough to stop being disgusted. , The current atmosphere made him a little uncomfortable.

In this regard, he is still the same as before.

If one day the villagers really change 180 degrees, he will definitely not be able to adapt.

But now, he was really uncomfortable.

"No, that's all, I'll help you..."

In this regard, the butcher shop owner quickly waved his hand.

"Duh."

However, before he could speak, a stack of money and silver was placed on the booth, and the young man in front of him had disappeared without a trace.

"Lord Chiba?"

After glancing at the money and silver, the butcher shop owner was slightly taken aback, then turned his head and looked around, and couldn't help calling out.

However, there was no response.

Obviously, Master Chiba is far away.

"Did I say something wrong?"

After searching for nothing, the butcher shop owner scratched his head, blinked his eyes, and couldn't help recalling what he had done and said just now, muttering to himself.

"no……"

Then, after thinking about it, he didn't realize that he was wrong, and scratched his head again.

Afterwards, he sighed helplessly, but he was not dissatisfied with Qianye's sudden departure. Thinking that Qianye might be really busy and anxious, he picked up the money and counted it, and found that it happened to be the price of the meat .

"It's really not a penny less!"

Then, subconsciously, he spit out such a sentence.

"Son! Come down quickly, and send the meat to Master Chiba."

Afterwards, he didn't insist anymore, and after taking the money, he casually took another peeled rabbit and threw it into the meat Chiba bought, before shouting towards the shop.

"knew."

And soon a slightly lazy voice came from the room.

"Do you know Chiba-sama's house?"

In this regard, the butcher shop owner shouted again.

"have no idea."

The lazy voice replied honestly.

Then, there was a series of explanations from the butcher shop owner.

For the people in this area, it is very clear who lives where. Although after the expansion of the village, it has been replaced by a more prosperous commercial street, but this is still Muye Village's favorite market for buying vegetables. , There are many acquaintances, and occasionally there is a need for door-to-door delivery. Gradually, the businesses here are still very clear about the addresses of the old acquaintances.

Back then, Chiba was also a regular customer here.

It's just that at the beginning, everyone remembered that it was the young lady named Xue Nai.

The mistress of the cabin was gone now, but the cabin was still where it was, and the butcher knew the address.

Chiba-sama, you probably aren't used to dealing with people.

After explaining to his son, looking at the place where Chiba disappeared, the butcher shop owner had such an idea in his mind.

...

"Would it be a little unreasonable for me to be like this?":

At this time, Qianye, who had already left the market, frowned slightly.

At this time, he suddenly realized that the way he threw down the money and left just now was not too high profile.

Although, he almost ran away just now.

However, in the eyes of others, it may not be a real escape, but it may also be a kind of domineering.

"Ah……"

Then, in the next second, Chiba, who was on a roof in the commercial street, let out a long sigh.

How does it feel, once here, it's like going back to the past.

At the same time, a trace of helplessness flashed through his heart.

Perhaps, there are some things that really cannot be changed.

When he first traveled to this world, even though his memory had been tampered with, he still maintained an indifferent attitude towards life, accustomed to loneliness, and blended into it. Perhaps, many people regard loneliness as a scourge, and have been preaching that human beings live in groups , is the need for the presence of partners.

But, to be honest, a person, alone for a long time, is actually like that.

And that indifferent and lonely attitude is already part of his character.

Even though he has experienced a lot now, he has received a lot of warmth, and by the way, his personality has also changed a lot.

However, a part of the original cold and lonely personality still survives, and it may not be obvious anymore.

However, the behavior of his escape just now undoubtedly explained it. These characters still exist in his current character.

When meeting those people at the beginning, for those people who were social but not very familiar, this part of the personality will be particularly obvious.

For example, the butcher shop owner just now, and all the bosses who have just dealt with in the market.

"It seems that when I get to Konoha, I have revealed my true colors."

Then, thinking of this, Qianye smiled slightly and murmured.

"Um?"

Then, in the next second, Chiba's eyes paused, and they landed on a certain sign in front of him.

Konoha extra-large steamed buns?

Has the uncle moved here?

I thought it was closed!

And in his heart, there was joy.

At this time, where his eyes settled, it was a somewhat worn-out sign, but he was very familiar with it.

Back then, if it wasn't for this brand, he might not have been able to practice Bamen Dunjia.

He has practiced the Bamen Dunjia by eating the steamed buns here.

To be honest, he had just returned to the village, and when he had a little free time, he had found this Konoha extra-large steamed bun shop in a limited number of places. However, because of the expansion, the steamed bun shop had moved to an unknown place, and at that time, he had just Back to the village, there are more trivial matters.

So it was all over after that.

Now, unexpectedly, by chance, he found the store address for him.

Speaking of which, now that I think about it, this Konoha extra-large steamed bun is not like an ordinary steamed bun shop.

But at this time, Qianye couldn't help but focus on Konoha's extra-large steamed buns.

At the beginning, the reason why he chose Konoha extra-large steamed buns as his staple food was because it was big enough to serve as a second meal if he couldn't finish one meal.

Secondly, it is full of energy under its plain appearance.

At that time, he thought that the whole world had the magical power of Chakra, and it was normal to have magical food that was a bit contrary to common sense.

It is very possible that the owner of this Konoha steamed bun shop may be a descendant of a family who has some family secrets or blood succession limit, and has mastered some cooking techniques that can make the steamed buns contain various nutrients that the human body needs.

Even at that time, Chiba was planning to make a good relationship and learn secretly, and wondered if he could cook some food to change his defective body by relying on this cooking method.

However, after he made indirect remarks, the steamed buns were just the cooking method of steamed buns, which was no different from his previous life.

Later it was all over.

After all, at that time, he was somewhat urgent and utilitarian about improving his strength, and seeing that he didn't get the result he wanted, he put it aside.

But now, when he no longer needs to improve his strength, when everything slows down, he also has more knowledge reserves, and after more knowledge reserves, he finds that he missed a very critical point at the beginning.

Although steamed buns are still the cooking method of steamed buns, it is still unusual to cook steamed buns that can provide the energy needed by an adult.

There is still something to dig inside.

And this place that can be tapped is the material.

Since steamed buns have this effect, there are no more than two reasons, one is the cooking technique, and the other is the special materials used.

From Chiba's point of view, it should be a matter of materials.

It is very possible that this Konoha extra-large steamed bun is made of military grain pills, and it is purely nutritious, and it will not affect the child's development because of eating too much. Although I don't know why it can be cooked like ordinary steamed buns, a little None of them smell like medicine, or the taste of army grain pills.

However, now that this Konoha extra-large steamed bun has such a great effect, it can only be like this.

"It's been a long time since I ate it. Let's see if the taste is still the same!"

Then, after thinking of this, Qianye took a breath and took the first step.

A feeling of nostalgia already filled Qianye's heart.

Anyway, this is really a "childhood" memory.

"Sister! After finally coming to Konoha, shall we just eat steamed buns?"

And at this time, just when Qianye was about to jump off the eaves, a slightly complaining voice suddenly came from the Konoha steamed bun shop.

"Well, although I brought enough money this time, I don't know how long it will take to find the benefactor. We still need to save some money."

Then, with a crisp female voice, a woman and a man came out of the steamed bun shop.
