Chapter 45

“You want to eat, right? Then be confident and look up at me!”

Looking at the little Lolita in front of him, Uchiha Xuan smiled and reached out to gently touch her dusty purple-blue hair.

Hearing his gentle voice, the panic in the girl’s heart gradually subsided.

She raised her head carefully, and when she met Uchiha Xuan’s smiling face, she subconsciously lowered it.

After finding that she was not beaten, she gently raised her head again.

Her bright orange eyes immediately met Uchiha Xuan’s pupils.

“That’s good, you’ve been hiding by the side until now, be brave, it’s okay.

I can heat up the rest and eat it, you can go in and wash and change clothes first.”

Uchiha Xuan stopped closing the shop, reopened the door, and welcomed the girl in.

Feeling the kindness and warmth that she had never felt since her parents died, the six-year-old girl couldn’t help but shed tears in her eyes.

“Well, thank you, but you don’t have to bother me like this. I just need some food.”

The girl’s voice was particularly low because of her inferiority and sensitivity.

How could Uchiha Xuan, who had finally found his target, let Xiaonan leave so easily?

“Don’t force yourself like this. My name is Uchiha Xuan. I’m only twelve years old this year, but I’m just a little taller.”

Uchiha Xuan introduced himself with a smile, and emphasized his age.

Hearing that the handsome boy in front of him was only twelve years old, only six years older than himself, Xiaonan’s orange eyes widened immediately.

“Twelve years old!? Why aren’t all the adults in the village taller than you?”

“Well, maybe I have enough nutrition, so I grow fast.”

Uchiha Xuan used words that were hard to tell whether they were true or false to evade Xiaonan in front of him. The reason why he could have such a physique was that he had absorbed the vitality and chakra from [Reincarnation], which strengthened his physique in the past two years.

【【Six Styles】 After the”life return” after the completion of the great achievement, it also allowed his body to grow further.

If he simply ate and drank well, he would not be qualified to grow into his almost adult appearance at this age.

When Xiaonan heard this, she couldn’t help but look down at her shriveled and petite body.

But before she could feel sad for a moment, Uchiha Xuan directly pulled her into the store.

There is an independent house behind this. Except for the servants cleaning at the specified time, there is usually no one here.

“I’ll heat up two buckets of water for you. There are also two pieces of clothes in the house for you to pick out.”

Uchiha Xuan did not give Xiaonan a chance to refuse and immediately arranged a one-stop service for her.

After he revealed his age and the two sides became closer, Xiaonan was less wary of adults.

She did not refuse Uchiha Xuan’s kindness and accepted it obediently.

Xiaonan washed her body in the bathtub, revealing a childish but delicate and cute face that was obviously a beauty.

The delicate skin that was previously covered by dirt and dust also showed its original fair color.

The only problem is that Xiaonan is malnourished, her figure is too slender, and her face has an unhealthy paleness.

Xiaonan, who put on new clothes for the first time since her parents died, walked to the dining table with light and graceful steps.

Looking at the hot meals, she couldn’t help swallowing.

Noticing Uchiha Xuan looking at her with a smile, Xiaonan Nan’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head shyly.

After all, she had been traveling outside for a while, and at the age of six, her thinking had matured a lot.

Although she knew that there were differences between men and women, it was the first time that she was stared at by the opposite sex like this.

But facing the handsome Uchiha Xuan, she let down her guard and no longer had the fear she had before.

Although she was shy in her heart, she felt more of an indescribable joy.

Looking at Xiaonan in front of him, Uchiha Xuan seemed to see a shy little rabbit, making people want to hug her.

Gurgle gurgle~ At this time, Xiaonan’s stomach, because of the long-lost aroma of food, instinctively made a gurgling sound.

After this sound, the shame made Xiaonan’s head hang even lower.

The red face also became hot, and the small pink earlobes also turned red, making people want to take a bite.

“Hahaha~ Don’t hold back if you’re hungry, remember to eat slowly.”

Uchiha Xuan spoke first, breaking the awkward atmosphere and asking Xiaonan to come up and sit down to enjoy.

Xiaonan, who couldn’t refuse, sat on the bench and ate in small bites.

Later, when she ate too fast, Uchiha Xuan would ask her to eat slower.

After not eating for too long, eating too much suddenly is not good for the stomach.

Xiaonan knew that Uchiha Xuan was concerned about her, and she also kept these things in mind.

During the meal, facing Uchiha Xuan’s questions, Xiaonan, who opened her heart, no longer concealed anything.

She answered her current situation truthfully and told about her previous experience.

“Brother Uchiha Xuan, my name is Xiaonan.

My parents… were called up to the front line a year ago, and they should have died.”

When Xiaonan mentioned her parents, tears could not be concealed in her eyes.

Uchiha Xuan checked the time and estimated that he probably didn’t kill them. As for

Xiaonan’s later experience, how could she, a six-year-old girl, protect her own home?

At that time, Hanzo Salamander exploited the people and ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village to the utmost for the sake of war.

The house of Xiaonan’s parents was soon robbed.

As for whether her parents were dead or not, no one at the front line conveyed it to Xiaonan.

There was not even a pension, which made Xiaonan start wandering in the Hidden Rain Village.

Usually she would hide in a cave outside the Hidden Rain Village, and come to the Hidden Rain Village during the day to steal something to eat.

The long period of wandering made Xiaonan see many dark sides of society.

Therefore, she would deliberately avoid people, especially men.

Fortunately, she was only six years old , usually she is so sloppy and small, no one would have any bad intentions towards her.

It’s just that after the recent defeat of the Hidden Rain Village, there is even less food in the village.

Konan, who has been hungry for three days, had no choice but to come and have a look after hearing that food was being distributed here.

Konan, who had been prepared to return empty-handed, really didn’t expect that she would meet such a kind person as Uchiha Xuan.

Not only is he so handsome, but he is also so kind and considerate to her.

The key point is that Konan herself doesn’t believe that Uchiha Xuan has any bad intentions. After all, she is already like this, how could there be anything worth the other party’s plan.

After hearing about Konan’s experience, Uchiha Xuan did not hide his origins. After hearing that he was from Konoha, Konan was not afraid, but showed a look of surprise and admiration.

“Are you the legendary [Konoha Thunder God]?”

“Ah! Don’t call me that, it’s embarrassing!”

When such a cute little girl like Xiaonan said this, Uchiha Xuan screamed in shame. ps: The picture is Xiaonan.
