Chapter 45
Under the eaves, the old man was drowsy under the sunshine.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tonan's gentle voice came from the room.

"Grandpa, were you also a ninja before?"

The old man opened his eyes, shook his head, his whole body was a little sober, and subconsciously said:
"Hmph, have you heard of the Sanhe family?"

As soon as the voice fell, he remembered something again.

Looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, he was slightly absent-minded, with a slightly lonely expression, and said:

"You probably haven't heard of it, because I'm the only one left now.

The Sanhe family was a well-known warrior family in ancient times.

Later, the ninja prospered, and the Sanhe family became a ninja.

It's just that in the Warring States period, only three or two kittens were left in the family.

When the first generation of Hokage established Konoha, I was the only one left in the entire Sanhe family.

Not long after, the first ninja war broke out, and our family went to the battlefield.

That's when my legs were disabled and my son and wife died. "

When people are old, they can't stop talking.

When the old man stopped, he realized that he seemed to have said too much.

However, Uchiha Tunan didn't take offense at all, instead he asked through the wall in a curious tone:

"You should be very strong back then."

The old man raised his eyebrows and said proudly:
"Naturally, I was the captain of the Anbu squad before.

Led a team to perform S-level missions.

just a pity"

The old man patted his paralyzed legs lightly.

"War is so cruel."

"Grandpa, you were quite handsome when you were young."

The old man hummed lightly triumphantly, and continued to bask in the sun with his eyes squinted.

In the room, Uchiha Tunan gently placed the old man's family photo frame on the conspicuous cabinet.

Sunlight poured into the room from the window behind him, making it hard to see Uchiha Tonan's expression now.

Uchiha Tunan got up slowly, picked up the handkerchief and walked towards the toilet.

The clutter is cleaned up, and all that needs to be done now is to wipe the dust.

But when Uchiha Tunan opened the toilet door, the scene in front of him made Uchiha Tunan slightly frown.

I saw that the toilet was full of filth, and the toilet had been blocked for an unknown amount of time.

An unspeakable smell permeated the air, slightly irritating the eyes.

Combining the old man's previous performance, Uchiha Tunan roughly guessed why he was so stingy and asked a ninja to clean it.

At this moment, the old man pushed the wheelchair and came behind Uchiha Tonan, and coughed lightly with a guilty face:
"Ahem, little guy, if you give up the mission, it will be recorded on your resume."

Uchiha Tunan turned around, squinted at the old man and said with a smile, "Don't you have a toilet plug at home?"

"No." The old man shook his head and said.

Uchiha Tunan nodded, bowed and said, "Please wait for me a moment."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the courtyard.

After a while, Uchiha Tonan walked back with tools under the anxious eyes of the old man.

Regardless of the filth in the toilet, he began to clean up.

The old man looked at Uchiha Tonan who was working tirelessly to clean the toilet, and a trace of apology flashed in his eyes.

After Uchiha Tunan cleaned up the toilet, he got up and started wiping the dust off the furniture.

Throughout the process, Uchiha Tonan kept a focused look.

Even when facing those small items, Uchiha Tonan took out a small brush from his shirt pocket and carefully brushed off the dust.

The old man swears that he has never seen someone who does housework so hard.

It is simply art.

Until noon, Uchiha Tonan wiped the floor for the third time.

And after spraying perfume everywhere in the room, he came to the old man respectfully, put his hands on his knees and bowed:
"I've cleaned it up, please check."

The old man looked at Uchiha Tonan's originally clean and tidy white shirt, which was wrinkled and discolored at the moment, and felt more and more guilty.

"You did very well."

Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly, handed the task list and pen forward at the same time and said:

"Then please sign the task list."

The old man happily signed his name and hesitated for a while.

He took out the 2000 taels that Kakashi had handed in from his arms, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

The money and the task list were forced into the hands of Uchiha Tunan.

"This 2000 taels is your tip, let's go."

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

With a sunny smile on Uchiha Tonan's face, he left the yard and went to the Hokage Building to hand in the task.

After Uchiha Tonan left, the old man pushed the wheelchair to the bedroom, and saw the family photo frame on the cabinet at a glance.

After staring at it for a while, he let out a long sigh and turned to go to the kitchen.

Opened the fridge to find only a few leftover rice balls from the morning.

The old man reached out and took out the two rice balls from the refrigerator, held them in his hands, and prepared to eat them after the rice balls thawed by themselves.

"I have to go out again in the afternoon." The old man sighed, leaning on the back of his wheelchair, wondering what he was thinking.

"Cuckoo~"

At this time, most of the villagers went home for dinner.

It was quiet outside, except for a few sporadic bird calls.

The old man leaned on the back of the wheelchair, his eyes narrowed slightly, and fell into a doze.

Time passed little by little.

"clang clang"

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

The old man opened and closed his eyelids a few times, finally came to his senses, and said in a deep voice:

"Who!"

"clang clang"

The knock on the door continued, but no one answered outside.

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

At this moment, the knock on the door stopped abruptly.

The old man frowned, slowly put his hand on the door, and then pulled it away violently.

The moment the door was opened, the warm sun poured in.

I saw Uchiha Tunan holding the ingredients in both hands, with a smile like the warm sun in early spring, and said gently:

"When you were cleaning before, I saw that you didn't have anything to eat in the refrigerator.

I guess it's not convenient for you to go grocery shopping, so I bought some for you. "

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

After all, my legs are inconvenient, and it is very difficult to cook a good meal. I usually eat rice balls casually.

If you want to eat meat, wrap some bacon in rice balls.

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

"Buy everything, it's a waste if you don't eat it.

How about I do it for you, anyway, I am the only one left in my family.

Let's eat together so I can have company too. "

The old man's expression was slightly moved, obviously a little moved.

"As you like."

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

"These rice balls are not nutritious, so don't eat them."

After speaking, he went to the kitchen, tied the apron around his waist, and started cooking.

Light the fire and put the oil.

"Da da da"

The sound of chopping vegetables sounded like a rhythm.
