Chapter 661: Undercurrent

The hand slammed in response, and this time the action was much faster, but in more than two minutes, the steaming ramen was served, it was two, in addition to the bowl of Lei Luo, there was also a bowl of rope tree.

Noticing that Rope Tree obviously didn't speak, but handed the ramen to the other party with a familiar hand, as if there was a tacit understanding between the two, Lei Luo couldn't help but ask curiously: "Rope Tree, did you always come here to eat before?" ”

Sucked in the last noodle in one gulp, Rope Shu took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, exhaled hot air with a comfortable face, and heard Lei Luo's question in his ears, so he turned his head and replied with a smile:

"Hokage-sama doesn't know, this shop was discovered by me half a year ago, and the owner's craftsmanship and character are quite good, so I often come here for lunch and dinner."

Seeing the rope tree praising himself in front of Lei Luo, the smile on his face seemed to be more overflowing, and he interjected two sentences in passing: "The rope tree has endured too much, as long as you can like Ichiraku ramen, then I will be content with my hand beating." ”

"I'd be embarrassed to praise me in person."

Looking at the smug face of the hand-beaten-handed, Lei Luo couldn't help but be a little interested in the owner of the small ramen shop, and immediately asked: "Hand-beaten, the rope tree said that he found out here half a year ago, that is to say, are you also one of the victims of the 526 incident?" ”

Hearing Lei Luo take the initiative to mention this, he cautiously glanced at Hokage-sama's face, and seeing that his expression was calm as if he was just asking casually, he nodded and replied after a little thought:

"Yes, Hokage-sama, the original storefront was destroyed in the battle on May 26, and the current storefront was rebuilt by me after using up my family's savings."

Hearing this, Lei Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked: "I remember that all the property losses caused by the 526 incident were all responsible for the village finance and real estate developers, didn't you receive subsidies?" ”

Although Lei Luo's tone was calm, he obviously sensed something unusual in it, and he hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at the rope tree on the side.

After getting a "you just tell the truth" look, he turned his head to look at Lei Luo, he pursed his lips with a tangled face, and found that Lei Luo's gaze gradually became impatient, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"Hokage-sama, although the village finance has given us compensation for the victims, the amount is only 50,000 taels, which is obviously not enough to do business in Konoha where every inch of land is valuable."

"Of course, I won't complain about the village or anything, after all, it was Madara Uchiha who caused all this, and with this compensation, it proves that the village is still worried about us civilians, and I am already very content."

Fifty thousand taels, equivalent to 500,000 yuan, in the monetary system of the Hokage, its purchasing power is equivalent to 500,000 yen in Lei Luo's previous life, which is about 30,000 yuan when converted into RMB.

In today's Konoha Village, due to the rapid development of all walks of life, the more than 30,000 yuan is only enough to buy one or two square meters of residential buildings, which is not the center of the village.

Therefore, there is definitely something wrong with the compensation money obtained by hand.

Almost immediately, Lei Luo thought that there might be corruption among his subordinates, which made him lose the mood to eat, and he only felt that there was a flame rising from his heart.

Taking a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, in order not to be frightened, Lei Luo barely squeezed out a smile, and asked in a gentle tone as much as possible:

"Hand beat, do you remember where you were and who received the 50,000 taels?"

Perhaps it was the process of opening the store for so many years, so that the ability to observe words and colors with his hands can be called perfect, so at this moment, when facing Lei Luo's seemingly calm gaze, he only felt a sigh in his heart, and the secret way was not good.

"Hokage-sama......"

The hand beat his face was bitter, and he hesitated for a long time without answering.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't be willing to get involved in the internal disputes of the ninja adults and put himself in danger.

The problem with the compensation was realized very early, but when it comes to disaster compensation, it is only the new policy implemented by the village in recent years, and there was no such thing in the past.

To put it simply, it's good to have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't, after all, although Konoha Village has never been attacked, it is still strictly a military base, and any unexpected situation is possible.

In comparison, Konoha is already much better than the rest of the ninja world.

What he said before the hand-beating was indeed the truth, and he was already content to get the 50,000 taels, so although he knew that the amount of the money was a little wrong, and the policy mentioned that the village finance was responsible for the loss of the civilians had not been fully implemented, but the hand-beating still did not have any stalking.

If you use four words to summarize the purpose of hand fighting, it is to protect oneself.

After all, no matter what kind of problems arise within the management of Konoha, it is also a matter for the ninjas, and it is a matter for the big shots. He doesn't want to live anymore?

Unexpectedly, today, at the moment when Hokage-sama came here, he wanted to be familiar in front of Hokage-sama, so he eagerly stepped forward to talk, but he inadvertently said that he had leaked his mouth, exposing the fact that the amount of compensation was insufficient.

What Hokage-sama's temperament is, he doesn't know everything, but he can be regarded as having heard of it, so he only feels ten thousand regrets in his heart now, regretting that he said something he shouldn't have said.

If there is a problem with the village finances, Hokage-sama will definitely deal with a group of people, if the outside world, for example, let the family members of those unlucky ninjas know that it was he who exposed the problem in front of Hokage-sama, then ......

Anger, resentment, revenge, attacks, and even assassinations...... These follow-ups are completely predictable.

However, what does he, a small owner who runs a ramen shop, an unarmed civilian, defend himself in such a situation?

With a grunt, he swallowed his saliva, noticed that Hokage-sama's eyes gradually turned cold, and his hand beat him to understand that he couldn't avoid it, but the remaining luck psychology still made him stumble and say:

"Hokage-sama, I'...... I can be honest with you, but, but I hope you ......"

"Protecting you?" After answering the second half of the sentence, Lei Luo was silent for a moment, then raised his head, looked at the hand punch seriously, and said word by word: "Don't worry, no one will know about today's conversation except you and me, I promise." ”

Rope Tree glanced at Lei Luo sadly, wanting to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut.
