Time passes.

From afternoon to evening, it looked like it was night, but the rain hadn't stopped, or even abated, making people not want to go out.

Lights were turned on in every house.

Yamanaka Ino sat there as if he was clear, supporting his head with his hands, turning his head to look at the outside world through the glass window, frowning slightly, as if he was a little annoyed.

"It's been raining for too long!"

Pouted.

With such a heavy rain, it was not easy to walk even with an umbrella, and it was estimated that her clothes would get wet after walking a few steps, so she could only stay here and wait, a little boring.

It's out to play in itself.

Now I don't have to play, and I can't go home, so I naturally feel a little boring, and she is not like Qingming, so daze, so able to endure loneliness.

"Want to go back?"

Qingming suddenly spoke.

The little girl was faintly uneasy, he could perceive that it was almost night, it was time to go home, she was trapped here, her parents didn't know, they would be worried.

"It's raining too much."

She replied.

It's true that I want to go back, but it's raining so hard that it's useless to think about it, so I'll have to stay here until the heavy rain stops, or the rain gets lighter.

To make it less boring, just ask.

"Big brother, I heard that you are from outside the village, what is it like outside? Is it fun? ”

"Hmmm......"

Qingming thought slightly.

It's true that he's from outside the village, but it's not the same concept as the little girl's "outside the village", so he doesn't know anything about places other than Konoha Village.

But considering the background of the times in this world, Qingming is also thoughtful.

"It's dangerous out there."

"Dangerous?"

"Well, it's dangerous, some are killing each other, some are catching people for experiments, and some are specifically catching little girls like you, they may starve to death, they may be killed, they may be played to death, in short, it is very dangerous."

Qingming explained.

Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and what he said was just his conjecture, it was all very likely to happen, after all, the world has always been in conflict.

"Catch the little girl? Playing to the death? ”

Yamanaka Ino expressed doubt.

Killing each other, experimenting, starving, being killed, etc., she can understand all this, but what to do with the little girl? What kind of way to play death?

She didn't quite understand.

"Hmmm......"

Qingming looked at her, looked at her, and could feel the doubt in her eyes.

I thought about it.

He stood up again, yawning and stretching.

"Ah, it's time for dinner, what do you want to eat? I don't have anything to eat here, though. ”

"Huh? You haven't said ...... yet."

"Well, let's eat cake, as long as I can eat enough anyway, but I really should find a maid who really belongs to me to come back and help me do these things."

Qingming shook his head.

With emotion, he walked towards the kitchen, not intending to answer Yamanaka Ino's question at all, not because it was difficult to say, but because he couldn't say it.

He didn't mind answering, but there were people staring at him outside.

Speaking of which, those ninjas in the shadows are really dedicated, and they can stick to their posts in such a heavy rain, which is really worthy of praise, and Qingming expressed his spiritual praise for them.

Regarding his behavior, Yamanaka Ino could only pout, expressing his displeasure.

Good for a while.

Qingming brought out some cakes, some biscuits and other snacks, made a pot of tea by the way, and brought out hot milk, this is today's dinner.

This time, Yamanaka Ino was not polite, and he ate the biscuit and asked while eating.

"Big brother."

"Huh?"

"If it rains all the time, can I stay with you?"

"Whatever, but I only have one room and one bed, and only one quilt, so if you don't mind sharing a bed with me, I'd be more than welcome."

“……”

"Don't worry, even if the rain doesn't stop, you can go back, if you don't go back for too long, your parents will naturally come to you, and you should be able to find this place soon."

Qingming comforted.

There are dark ninjas staring outside, and it is estimated that they will relay the news of Yamanaka Ino here to Yamanaka Haiichi, for fear that Qingming will suspect it, so they will deliberately come over later.

If she hadn't told her, Qingming wouldn't mind staying here for one night.

"What if I don't come?"

"If you don't come, then I'll send you back in person to ensure that you can return home safely, no more and no less."

“……”

The little girl looked at Qingming.

Blinked, then laughed again.

"Big brother is a little weird, but he's a good guy."

“……”

Qingming also looked at her.

Good?

Quite a few people have said this, but then they don't say it.

But......

At this moment, I don't bother to refute it, after all, it's not an important thing, I will see people's hearts for a long time, and after that, Ino in the mountains will naturally understand.

"Let's eat."

"Yes."

……

Night.

The rain finally got a little lighter.

At about half past eight, Kaichi Yamanaka appeared at the door of the coffee shop with a somewhat anxious expression on his face, and only after seeing Yamanaka Ino did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Daddy."

Yamanaka Ino quickly got out of her seat and ran towards her father.

After all, she's just a little girl.

Although his daughter was wearing a maid's outfit, Yamanaka Haiichi didn't ask much, and said a few words of thanks to Qingming, and then planned to leave.

"Please wait a minute."

Qingming hurriedly shouted.

Then he took a bag and went to the back, put all the clothes that Yamanaka Ino had changed into, and handed them into Yamanaka Ino's hands.

"Your clothes."

"Oh, thank you, big brother, my ......"

"Keep it if you like it, it's useless for me to keep it anyway, so I'll treat it as a gift to you."

"Really? Thank you. ”

Although the maid costume is a bit strange, Yamanaka Ino seems to like it.

Yamanaka wanted to refuse.

But after saying that, Yamanaka Ino pulled him out, so he could only nod to Qingming, and then left the coffee shop with his daughter and went home.

Qingming closed the door of the store, and then stretched.

"Well, a peaceful day has passed again!"

After that, turn off the lights and go upstairs to sleep.

……

The next day.

In the morning, the Hokage's office.

The medical ninja, who has been busy until now, sent the test report on the pill to the desk of the three generations of Hokage, and the report was very simple, and the three generations of Hokage also read it quickly.

Tian Tian and Hinata Hinata train at high intensity every day, which will more or less affect their physical development and will also cause certain damage to their bodies.

The main effect of the pills made by Qingming is to condition their bodies, try to minimize these effects and damage, and also have the effect of enhancing their physique.

"Does it work well?"

"Much better than the few methods we know."

"Hmm."

The three Hokage nodded.

Some ninja families have similar methods, after all, ninjas start training since childhood, and they will all encounter the same problems, and even a little bit of a dark injury or something if they are not careful.

Dark injuries and dark diseases, it's good to say when you're young, but they will show up when you're older, which will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the ninja, and even affect a person's achievements.

For example, Shangnin.

There are a lot of Konoha shinobi, but how many of them can be from civilian backgrounds?

And not only civilians.

Many people in the ninja family enjoy enough resources, but the number of upper ninja has remained about the same, although it has not decreased, but it has not increased.

Therefore, if Qingming's medicine is provided to people of Tiantian and Hinata's generation, it may be able to cultivate a group of elite ninjas for Konoha.

"Can it be imitated?"

"The ingredients of the drug have been analyzed, and people have tried to make them, but the specific effect may not be so good, and there seems to be some special method for the production of this drug, and we have not been able to analyze it."

"Hmmm......"

The three Hokage nodded.

In this case, maybe you have to go to Qingming and see if you can get the secret recipe from this young man, and you can buy it or exchange it for anything.

Otherwise......
