A Hard Question

Not long later, the old man in the living room smelled the fragrance of the food and secretly swallowed his saliva.

Uchiha Tunan came out of the kitchen with the food.

"Try it. I prefer light food. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Then, he placed the food on the table.

One meat, two vegetables, one soup, and two bowls of white rice.

It had been a long time since the old man had eaten such formal food. He picked up his chopsticks and tasted it. His eyes immediately widened.

It was too delicious!

Then he began to eat in big mouthfuls.

Uchiha Tunan smiled and used an empty bowl to fill a bowl of soup for him. He pushed it in front of the old man and said,

"Eat slowly. Don't choke."

Then, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

In his previous life, he knew how to cook.

This system was very human, and it counted cooking skills in its ability.

Uchiha Tunan's cooking skills rose sharply, and most of the old people liked light food.

Therefore, these dishes were especially to the old man's liking.

As the saying goes, if you want to get a man's approval, you have to grab a man's stomach.

"Grandpa, my name is Uchiha Tunan. I still don't know how to address you."

The old man swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a satisfied expression, "Sanhe Yuan Liang."

"Grandpa Yuan Liang, eat more meat to nourish your body." Uchiha Tunan politely put a piece of crispy meat into his bowl.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "The little guy is good at cooking, but I don't have the money to hire you."

Uchiha Tunan shook his head and said, "I don't lack money."

When Sanhe Yuan Liang heard that Uchiha Tunan was not looking for money, he immediately opened the folder.

"No lack of money?"

"That's right, you are a member of the Uchiha clan after all."

"I didn't expect that Uchiha would have a guy with such a bright personality like you."

"Let me tell you, you are still young and have no concept of money."

"Save your money, if you can not spend it, then don't spend it."

"You don't know how many civilians were starved to death during the Warring States period."

"Even many ninjas were starved to death."

Uchiha Tunan revealed a puzzled expression, and he looked like an innocent youth who was ignorant of the world.

"Ninjas will starve to death?"

Sanhe Yuanliang gulped down a mouthful of soup and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Ninjas are strong but doesn't mean that they're invincible"

"At the time of the Warring States period, there were wars everywhere."

"Without the protection of the large clans, who could produce at ease?"

"There was no place to snatch food, and sometimes food was even more expensive than exploding talismans."

"A lot of ninjas could not bear the hunger and could only be dogs to the big clans, only to fill their stomachs."

Uchiha Tunan poured soup into Sanhe Yuanliang's bowl with a spoon and said thoughtfully, "Is that why Grandpa Yuanliang is so diligent and thrifty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sanhe Yuanliang's expression became silent.

He took the soup that Uchiha Tunan handed over and blew on it a few times before he said in a low voice, "It's not entirely because of this."

Uchiha Tunan could tell that San He Yuan Liang was feeling a little down at this time, so he did not ask any further and quietly continued eating.

After eating, Uchiha Tunan washed the bowls and chopsticks, and considerately made a pot of tea for San He Yuan Liang before walking out.

In the living room, Heyuan Liang looked at the tea in the cup and sighed,

"Little guy, I think you are a good person. If you live alone, you can come to me."

"There was a spare key on the shoe cabinet."

Uchiha Tunan stopped at the door, turned his head, and said in a happy tone,

"I have to train in the afternoon. I will move over tomorrow night."

"In the future, I would like to ask Grandpa Yuan Liang to give me some guidance."

"..."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

On the way to Kakashi's house, Uchiha Tunan was secretly calculating in his heart.

This old fellow was a former captain of the Anbu in the past, so his strength should be very good.

If he could get his approval, and then wait for him to die, who knows how many abilities he could get.

Looking at his age, he should be not far from death.

I just don't know how to inherit the ability when the time comes.

If it is the ability before death, then it can only inherit knowledge.

If it is to inherit the ability at its peak, then it is very impressive.

You have to know that there are many old people in Konoha, and they can survive so many wars, they must be strong.

It was not a joke to be old and mature, most of the people left behind were elites.

Was this proper way to use the system?

No wonder it was called the inheritance system.

Uchiha Tunan felt that he had discovered a new exploit. He reached out and adjusted his glasses, his footsteps much lighter.

....

The next day, before dawn.

Yuan Liang woke up from his sleep.

When he was old, his sleep became very light and he woke up early every day.

Looking at the empty room, Yuan Liang couldn't help but think of Uchiha Tunan.

That little fellow should be out on a mission in the morning. If he had to train with the lead teacher in the afternoon, he should be moving over at night.

Sanhe Yuanliang climbed up from the bed with difficulty into the wheelchair and pushed out of the bedroom with both hands.

However, just as he pushed open the bedroom door, he was stunned on the spot.

He saw that the originally incandescent lamp in the living room had been replaced with a warm tone of the fluorescent light.

There were already two bowls of porridge and three plates of side dishes on the table.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Tunan was kneeling at the table, reading some unknown books seriously.

"Cough cough." Yuan Liang coughed lightly, attracting Uchiha Tunan's attention.

Uchiha Tunan raised his head and quickly ran behind San He Yuan Liang, helping to push the wheelchair to the dining table.

"Grandpa Yuan Liang, why are you up so early? The porridge is still a bit hot. You might need to wait a while."

San He Yuan Liang stared at the food on the dining table, then looked up at Uchiha Tunan and said,

"Did you come so early to cook breakfast for me?"

Uchiha Tunan returned to the dining table and sat down on his knees. He pushed up his glasses and said, "A day's plan lies in the morning. I always like to get up early."

After all, early birds have bugs to eat.

"Good, good, good..."

San He Yuan Liang looked at Uchiha Tunan with more and more admiration.

How good would it be if this was my younger generation, clever, hardworking, sensible, and meticulous in doing things.

He felt that all the good qualities of this world had been possessed by him.

"What book are you reading?"

"I'm learning how to hide and disguise myself. After all, I should take on missions outside in the future. If I don't know how to do these things, I might drag my teammates down."

Uchiha Tunan did not look up. He flipped through the book while using a pen to mark the key points.

"Where did you buy this book?"

"I bought it from the bookstore on the street."

Sanhe Yuanliang frowned and nodded.

"That wicked, immoral bookstore, isn't it?"

"This kind of book was full of empty words and couldn't learn much."

"If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

"Although I am old, my experience is still there. I have done many assassination missions in the past."

"Take these experience as your reward for taking care of me."

Uchiha Tunan raised his head and closed the book. He said gently,

"I volunteered to take care of you. I don't care about the reward."

Yuan Liang picked up the porridge, blew it gently, and casually asked, "What kind of knowledge do you want to know?"

Uchiha Tunan thought for a moment and said,

"If I meet a warrior, how can I get his approval?"
