I sell sweets in Konoha

Can...

"It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice." Junko shook her head helplessly and said: "Tuberculosis is also tuberculosis, which is a bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. If there are antibiotics in Konoha Village, you can try it, but... ..”

But the problem is that there are no such drugs!

"Can Junko-sama make it?" Naruto immediately looked at Junko with hope. Since Junko-sama knows this, there must be a way.Antibiotics and stuff, although he doesn't know, Junko-san must know, right?Just like she can make these novel snacks that have never been seen before, she should be able to make these too, right?

"Do you think I am a god? I can just create antibiotics for you casually?" Junko was a little annoyed.

She does have a system, but the specialized antibiotics and tuberculosis drugs manufactured by modern biotechnology are extremely expensive!

Although they are all in units of two, what they want here is gold!gold!

What you want is real money!Not the broken copper and waste paper in your hands!

She knew Naruto meant no harm, but wasn't such a request too much?She, Junko, thinks that she is not a good person and does not have the ambition and ideals to save the common people.But she, Junko, is also a human!From a selfish point of view, she didn't want to watch the hand-beating uncle go off the stage of history without eating Konoha's specialty Ichiraku Ramen.

But...but!

"Do you think it's as simple as just making antibiotics?" Junko said helplessly and helplessly: "This is not just a problem with pills. The aunt may also be suffering from beriberi due to lack of vitamin B1, including the uncle. They may all have some diseases caused by long-term severe malnutrition."

Judging from the skinny and weak feeling, this uncle must also be suffering from some disease.

This is not simply a disease.What the uncle reflects behind is the unreasonable material rationing system and the excessive exploitation of the people at the bottom.It explains one of the bad consequences of this thoroughgoing institutional problem.Konoha is already pretty good, at least not every civilian is like that, there are still some people who have some hope.

But it may be easy to save his family, but it is difficult to completely change everything!

It's hard to go to the blue sky!

"It is easy to heal one person, but difficult to heal the whole world..."

Junko said helplessly.

"You can save one person, but you can save the world's ninja. It's impossible..."

Chapter 63 The so-called hope

I don't understand. It's too difficult for Naruto to heal people or heal the world.

He didn't understand what Junko meant at all, and he didn't understand why he seemed to be capable of treating Sister Acorus but was indifferent.I don’t understand, I can’t figure it out, I don’t know.Suddenly, many questions came to Naruto's head, and he couldn't understand or know.

But Naruto felt that maybe he could do something...

That look of despair, that feeling of no hope.That kind of pain is something no one wants to experience, and it's not something that's easy to bear.Because I have experienced hell and come into contact with warmth, I understand the value of this hope. Maybe I can do something?Do something to bring a little bit of hope.

For example, sugar or something.

Naruto planned to bring some candy to visit Sister Calamus. Although it wasn't a lot, a little bit of sweetness was enough to comfort people.

Taking a small bag of candy with him, Naruto quickly arrived at Sister Iris' house where he had gone yesterday.He planned to take this candy with him, hoping to see some look of 'hope' and 'happiness' on their faces.

But when Naruto first got there...

"Asshole, take out the candy quickly!" Three young boys surrounded Calamus and said fiercely: "Don't think we don't know! Asshole, you must have gotten the candy, right?!"

"If you don't take out the candy, I'll give you something to eat!"

"Hurry up, we don't have so much patience to wait for you!"

The three boys surrounded Acorus in the center, and the ferocious look frightened Acorus to the point where he couldn't say a word.I could only squat on the ground holding my head and shivering.

"It's you!" Naruto recognized the three boys at a glance.

Aren't these three the same people who went to their residence yesterday with Sister Changpu to steal candy?These three people are really over the top!Now Naruto completely believed what Acorus said, these people had gone too far!

"You guys are simply bullying others too much! Let Sister Calamus go!"

Naruto yelled, rushing in and blocking the three boys with his young body.

"Eh?!" Naruto's sudden appearance startled the three of them.

"Brother...he..." One of the men also recognized Naruto and said, "Isn't he the younger brother of the woman who makes the candy?"

It seemed that it was true, as these three people also recognized Naruto.After all, Junko is already somewhat famous, and Naruto is of course also very famous.It's just not a good name.

The three of them took a step back and made a little space but showed no intention of dispersing.They will be afraid of Junko, after all, Junko has clearly established a relationship with the top management of Konoha Village.She could even get people from ANBU to act as bodyguards for her, which would scare anyone who saw this kind of treatment.But just because they're afraid of Junko doesn't necessarily mean they're afraid of Naruto!

Naruto's reputation in the village was not good at all, and he was in a position of being despised.

If it weren't for Junko, they would still be a little cautious.Otherwise, they don’t care at all now!

And I really don't care.

"The bag in your hand seems to be a sugar bag, right?" One of the men recognized the bag in Naruto's hand and said greedily: "Give us that thing and we will let you go!"

"Yes! Yes! If you can bring some candies here every day~" Another man also bravely said: "We."

"Don't even think about it! You bad guys." Naruto said angrily: "How can I give you these candies!"

Seeing Naruto's decisive attitude, although the three of them were a little worried, they couldn't resist the temptation of sugar and reached out to rape him.Naruto wanted to resist, but how could he resist?Although he went to ninja school, he did not study seriously and neglected training. In addition, his height and physical fitness were completely overwhelmed by the three boys in front of him.

Naruto was knocked to the ground just by looking at him. The only thing he could do was to hold on to the candy bag to prevent it from being snatched away by the three people.

The same goes for these three guys. Now that the fight has begun and they know there seems to be no way out, they punch and kick Naruto crazily.Naruto endured the pain and hugged the bag of candy. He would not hand over the bag of candy no matter what.

He endured the pain, but soon he couldn't feel anyone hitting him again.It seemed like someone had jumped on him to protect him.

Naruto opened his eyes slightly and found that it was Sister Acorus, using her thin body to resist the crazy punches and kicks.

"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!!!" Naruto felt what powerlessness meant for the first time.

He is no match for these people, not at all!He was knocked to the ground and couldn't do anything...even being protected by Sister Calamus, who was a completely ordinary civilian.

Naruto only felt that his heart hurt like a needle pricking him!

Weak and powerless, it seems that he can't do anything like this.

"Asshole! What are you brats doing?!"

At this moment, a thin but tall figure suddenly rushed in, hitting the uncle with his hands.Although he became very thin due to malnutrition and not eating enough.But he is still an adult, and he has an absolute advantage over these children.

The angry roar immediately made the three people stop their hands, and they looked again and saw that an adult was coming.Knowing that he couldn't fight, he grabbed a stone and threw it at the old man, both to attack and to cover his escape.Within a few minutes, the three men ran away without a trace.

It hurts to hit the uncle with his hands. Go up and quickly pull up Acorus and Naruto.

"Thank you, uncle~" Naruto patted the dirt on his body. Fortunately, he was just a child and didn't have any abnormal powers.Although the beating was violent, the injuries were mainly superficial and not serious.

Shou Da sighed, but he did not catch up.I didn't chase these three people, knowing that chasing them would be useless.

"Uncle, Sister Calamus." Naruto took off the candy bag from his waist and said with a grin, "I brought some candy."

Naruto was very happy and hoped that his uncle and Acorus would accept the candy.

However...

"Candy..." The uncle was not surprised or moved.He seemed more helpless and lamented.He shook his head and said, "We appreciate the kindness, but we really can't accept the candy."

"Eh? Why?" Naruto said in confusion: "It's just candy. I will bring some with me in the future."

"No...it's really not needed." Calamus shook his head and said in refusal: "I have already troubled you once, and I really don't need it. We really can't accept these things, they are too expensive."

"Eh? Is it very expensive?" Naruto didn't quite understand the value and said, "This thing is just some candy."

"Naruto." Uncle Shou Da sighed and said, "This thing is indeed very valuable to us."

"We...we really can't afford it..."

Chapter 64 The so-called healer

After that day, Naruto felt a little different.

He gradually discovered something, although every day he would go to the slums with candy to visit the calamus and uncle who was supposed to be the 'thief', as well as the seriously ill aunt.

But Naruto's heart became increasingly heavy, and he always felt that some kind of problem was haunting him.

Let him think hard and find no solution.

Why?Why did Junko sister seem to have the ability to save but didn't act?Why would she say that this matter is very difficult and it can only be solved if there is medicine?Why is the hand-beating uncle unwilling to accept those candies, even though he insists on going there every day.Why?Why?There were so many reasons why, and Naruto couldn't seem to figure this out.I can't find the answer, but it seems that Sister Junko has the answer.

It seems that she also said it, but she couldn't understand it.

It seemed that there was something in front of Naruto that he couldn't understand, couldn't figure out, couldn't figure out, and it made him feel terribly uncomfortable holding it in his heart.There is no way to be happy no matter what.

Still skipping school, in front of a stream in the training ground.

The sun was approaching noon, and Naruto suddenly felt a little hungry in his belly.I didn't bring a lunch box, but it didn't matter that it was a meal prepared by the innkeeper, not even one-tenth of Junko-san's cooking skills.I don’t want to eat that either.

Just eat something and deal with it.

Catching fish, this kind of thing is simply familiar to Naruto.But grilled fish was another story. He wanted to learn Junko's grilling method but found that he had no seasoning.When I put a stone slab on it, I always felt afraid that it would not be cooked enough. After thinking about it, I just tried the old method of inserting a wooden stick and baking it directly like I did before.

Naruto looked at the grilled fish and suddenly recalled the time he met Junko-san, which seemed to be similar to today.

The only difference is that his life changed after that day.

"Oh! Someone is actually grilling fish here? It looks like I'm lucky."

At this moment, an old man came out of nowhere, startling Naruto.It was almost like when I met Junko-san, I stepped on the bonfire and overturned the grilled fish.

"Hey!!!" Naruto was startled and stumbled forward, almost ruining his grilled fish.

After finally regaining his balance, Naruto immediately turned back and looked angrily at the old man who came out.

"Third generation grandfather?!"

Naruto was a little surprised when he saw who was coming.It's actually that old man from the third generation? !He...why did he come to this place?

Naruto was still impressed by the third generation who also suffered from tooth decay due to eating too much sugar.

And that day he also said a lot of words to Junko-san that he didn't understand.There are only slightly understandable words like 'peace' and 'hope' in it.

As for the rest, although they can be understood individually, they sound like alien language when combined together.

I have no idea why Junko-san would talk about such strange things with the third-generation grandfather.

"Oh, it turns out to be Naruto." The third generation seemed to have seen clearly who was grilling fish here, and he seemed to have some questions and said, "It must be class time now, right? You are actually grilling fish here."

"Ah~ That's...I...this...so...hahaha~" Naruto immediately rubbed his head and giggled to organize the language and wanted to develop it for himself.

But he gradually stopped laughing while smiling.

"Ha...ha...ha..." The laughter was so laborious and the laughter was so against one's will.

He... what on earth is he laughing at? !

"You seem to have something on your mind?" Sandai was keenly aware of Naruto's little thoughts.He randomly found a stone and sat down, took out his pipe and took a puff. With the unique wisdom of a wise man and his own kindness, he slowly asked: "Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you find it." The answer."

Is it ok?Naruto didn't know, but it seemed like he had no other choice.

"Actually..." Naruto also found a stone and sat down and said, "It feels...like..."

It seems that I have noticed something. I once thought that I was the person abandoned by the world.It wasn't until he met Iris that Naruto knew what it meant to be abandoned by the world.In the past, he might have been unfortunate, unnoticed and rejected by others, without parents or family members to care about him.

Maybe this is being abandoned by the world...

However, I met Calamus.Only then did Naruto realize that he was not the so-called abandoned by the world!There is no hope, no one pays attention, and there is no need for even disgust. Just stay quietly in the corner and wait for death!

Those who were alive were forgotten in a corner, and those who were dead were thrown out of the village and buried as garbage.

It was bleak, without any hope.

Naruto was once unlucky, but at least he still had a little hope after entering the ninja school.For example, being recognized by others after becoming Hokage.

But what about those people?There is no hope in their lives!

It was like being frozen in a corner that no one cared about.

Seeing them and thinking of himself again, Naruto always felt filled with panic.He suddenly wanted to do something but found that he couldn't seem to do anything.

"Although I don't quite understand, why does Sister Junko say, 'It's easy to heal people, but it's difficult to heal the world'?" Naruto asked in confusion: "I know my request is a bit excessive, but because I have also experienced that, it seems A life without any hope or happiness.”

"So I also understand the feeling of despair, so I don't want to see them so hopeless and helpless."

"So... Grandpa Third Generation, you are the Hokage, right? Why... why..."

"Because it's difficult to heal the world!" Sandai exhaled a puff of smoke, and he said in such an old and feeble voice: "It's too difficult, Naruto. If you just save one person, two people, or a hundred or so people can be saved. But there are more What about people? This is not just about food, drink, medical care and housing, but more about hope and motivation for struggle."

"But it's not that simple to do this. At that level, it's not about saving people but about changing them."

"Let the entire Ninja Village change and change the world."

"But how can such a change be said to be easy?!"

"It's easy to heal people, but it's hard to heal the world!!"
