The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Ignoring the filth in the toilet, he began cleaning.

The old man looked at Uchiha Tonan, who was diligently cleaning the toilet, and a hint of apology flashed in his eyes.

After Uchiha Tonan finished cleaning the toilet, he got up and began wiping the dust off the furniture.

Throughout the entire process, Uchiha Tonan maintained a focused expression.

Even when dealing with small items, Uchiha Tonan took out a small brush from his shirt pocket and carefully brushed away the dust.

The old man swore he had never seen anyone do housework so diligently.

It's simply art.

It wasn't until noon that Uchiha Tonan finished wiping the floor for the third time.

After spraying perfume throughout the room, he respectfully approached the old man, placed his hands on his knees, and bowed, saying:

"I've finished cleaning, please check."

The old man felt increasingly guilty as he looked at Uchiha Tonan's once clean and tidy white shirt, now wrinkled and discolored.

"You...did a great job."

Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly and handed over the mission sheet and pen at the same time, saying:

"Then please sign the task sheet."

The old man readily signed his name, then hesitated for a moment.

He took out the two thousand taels that Kakashi had given him from his pocket, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.

He forcefully stuffed the money, along with the task list, into Uchiha Tonan's hand.

"These two thousand taels are your tip. Now go."

"Grandpa, you're so kind. I thank you on Kakashi's behalf."

Uchiha Tonan's face beamed with a sunny smile as he left the courtyard and headed to the Hokage Building to hand in his mission.

After Uchiha Tonan left, the old man pushed his wheelchair into the bedroom and took out a photo frame from the bedside table.

The photo frame shows a happy family of three.

The old man reached out his trembling hand and gently stroked the photo frame.

"If Iomaru hadn't died, he would probably have great-grandchildren by now, just like this well-behaved little guy."

The old man sighed deeply, put the photo frame back in the bedside table, and turned to go to the kitchen.

I opened the refrigerator and found only a few leftover rice balls from the morning.

Since the death of his family members, the old man has become increasingly withdrawn.

In addition, he was a notorious miser, and his neighbors were unwilling to associate with him.

The old man reached into the refrigerator and took out two rice balls, holding them in his hand, intending to wait for them to thaw on their own before eating them.

"I have to go out again this afternoon." The old man sighed, leaning back in his wheelchair, seemingly lost in thought.

"Cuckoo~"

At this time of day, most villagers have gone home for dinner.

It was quiet outside, with only a few sporadic bird calls.

The old man leaned back in his wheelchair, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he were dozing off.

Time passed little by little.

"Clang clang clang..."

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The old man's eyelids opened and closed a few times before he finally regained consciousness and shouted:

"who."

"Clang clang clang..."

The old man frowned, pushed his wheelchair to the door with one hand, and opened it.

The moment the door opened, warm sunlight streamed in.

Uchiha Tonan, carrying ingredients in both hands, greeted him with a gentle smile as warm as the early spring sun:

“When I was cleaning before, I noticed that there was no food in your refrigerator.”

I figured it wouldn't be convenient for you to go grocery shopping, so I bought some for you.

The old man paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Thank you, young man, but I don't need these things."

After all, it's very difficult for me to cook a proper meal because of my leg problems. I usually just eat rice balls.

If you want to eat meat, just wrap some cured meat in your rice ball.

Uchiha Tonan glanced at the old man's legs and said gently:

"Since we've already bought it, it would be a waste not to eat it."

Why don't I make it for you? I'm all alone at home anyway.

Let's eat together, that way I'll have someone to keep me company.

The old man's expression changed slightly, clearly showing that he was somewhat tempted.

"Whatever you want."

Uchiha Tonan smiled slightly, walked in, and casually took the rice ball from the old man's hand and threw it into the trash can.

"These rice balls have no nutritional value, so it's better not to eat them."

After saying that, she went to the kitchen, tied an apron around her waist, and began to cook.

Light the fire and add oil.

"Da da da..."

The rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables rang out.

[Chapter 46. Sanhe Yuanliang Moves Again]

Before long, the old man in the living room smelled the aroma of food and swallowed hard.

Uchiha Tonan came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food.

"Please try it. I personally prefer light food. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Then place the food on the table.

One meat dish, two vegetable dishes, one soup, plus two bowls of white rice.

The old man hadn't had such a proper meal in a long time. He picked up his chopsticks, took a bite, and his eyes widened in surprise.

too delicious!

Then he started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Uchiha Tunan smiled, narrowed his eyes, ladled a bowl of soup into the old man's bowl, and pushed it towards him, saying:

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Then he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat politely.

In her previous life, she was able to cook, and later she also incorporated the abilities of Nanako Uchiha.

This system is very user-friendly; it includes cooking skills in the ability list.

Uchiha Tonan's cooking skills improved dramatically, and most elderly people prefer light and bland food.

Therefore, these dishes were especially to the elderly man's liking.

As the saying goes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

"Grandpa, my name is Uchiha Tonan. I don't know how to address you yet."

The old man swallowed the food in his mouth, a look of satisfaction on his face, and said contentedly, "Sanhe Yuanliang."

"Grandpa Yuanliang, eat more meat to nourish your body." Uchiha Tonan politely placed a piece of crispy pork into Sanhe Yuanliang's bowl.

Sanhe Yuanliang narrowed his eyes and said, "Little guy, your cooking skills are not bad, but I don't have the money to hire you."

Uchiha Tonan shook his head and said, "I don't lack money."

Upon hearing that Uchiha Tonan wasn't after money, Mikoto Motoyoshi immediately began to speak.

"Not short of money?"

That's true, after all, you are a member of the Uchiha clan.

I never expected the Uchiha clan to produce such a cheerful and optimistic person like you.

Let me tell you, you're still young and don't understand the concept of money.

Money is saved; avoid spending it if you can.

You have no idea how many common people starved to death during the Warring States period.

Even many ninjas starved to death.

Uchiha Tonan wore a puzzled expression, much like an innocent young boy who was unaware of the ways of the world.

"Ninjas can starve to death?"

Sanhe Yuanliang took a sip of soup, let out a long sigh, and said:

"Ninjas are just strong."

During the Warring States period, war raged everywhere.

Without the protection of powerful clans, who can produce goods with peace of mind?

There's nowhere to steal food, and sometimes food is even more expensive than explosive tokens.

Many ninjas couldn't withstand the hunger and had no choice but to become lackeys of powerful clans, just to fill their stomachs.

As Uchiha Tonan ladled soup into Mikoto Motoyoshi's bowl, he said thoughtfully, "So, Grandpa Motoyoshi, that's why you're so frugal?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Miyamoto Yoshimi's expression fell silent.
