Chapter 1Pommel Horse Jiji and His Family

Kurama Jiji woke up from sixteen hours of deep sleep. His deep eye bags showed that he had not slept enough. His pale face revealed a tired expression.

However, he could not sleep anymore. He had to stay out for eight hours to survive. His parents and two sisters were still crying and waiting for him to bring back what they liked.

"Ji Ji! Hurry up and wake up. Have you forgotten what day it is today?" The second sister, Yisu, kept shaking the pommel horse's shoulders.

"Hmm…It's probably the 4380th day since I was despised by the world…" The pommel horse sighed listlessly.

"Today is the day of relief! Hurry up! Go! Get it!" Second Sister shouted excitedly.

“!!!”The pommel horse Jiji's eyes widened. Suddenly, his gaze shifted."Second Sister, you must have remembered wrongly. How can it be today? It must be the day after tomorrow…"

"Even if I forget the day I died, I won't forget the day the relief fund was distributed! Get up!" The second sister shook the pommel horse hard.

"I know... I know..." The pommel horse Jiji shook his head helplessly and sat up from the bed. He chose the most presentable white robe in the empty wardrobe. After all, he had to see Naruto to receive relief money.

He hoped that no naughty child would dirty this set of clothes that was worth two thousand taels today.

"Don't forget, the result of today's lucky item divination is toothpaste!" Second Sister giggled.

When she came to the bathroom, her mother, who was dressed flirtatiously, was applying lipstick in front of the mirror. When she saw Pommel Horse Jiji, she got up and gently left a red lip on his cheek. She licked her lips and smiled."After you get the relief money, don't forget to buy me the latest dress…"

"No one can see you... I wonder who you're buying so many clothes for..." The pommel horse Jiji muttered a few words in a low voice. He picked up a comb that had fewer teeth than the grandma next door and combed his hair that looked like mushrooms.

He picked up the dried toothpaste tube by the sink and squeezed it through the crack of the door for a long time. The door creaked as if it was about to crack, but he still could not squeeze out a gram of toothpaste.

He had been squeezing out this bit of toothpaste for half a month. If he couldn't brush his teeth, then forget it.

"The lucky charms are all empty. Looks like today is an unlucky day…" The pommel horse Jiji sighed.

"No matter how poor you are, you can't forget the image of a gentleman ~" His father Ivan suddenly appeared behind him and patted Jiji's shoulder with a smile."Think of another way."

Kurama Jiji sighed, picked up the toothpaste tube, and walked into the kitchen. He took the kitchen knife and cut it open in the middle. Finally, he got some toothpaste foam, which could clean his teeth a little.

When he was ready to go out, he still had to ask his sister as usual what he needed to buy today.

Swallowing his saliva, he carefully walked up to the attic. His already weak heart sped up. In addition, he had only drunk a little mushroom soup last night, making his feet feel a little light.

The eldest sister was humming a song in the attic.

"Little white rabbit, white and fair ~"

"Raise both ears ~"

The pommel horse Jiji heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that his big sister was in a good mood today. He gently pushed open the attic door and used a humble tone.

"Big Sis, we're getting relief money today…Do you need me to buy anything?"

The eldest sister looked much younger than the pommel horse Jiji, just like the second sister. She looked like a quiet little girl of seven or eight years old. She wore a pair of round-rimmed glasses and was listlessly leaning on the table, gently stroking a little white rabbit. Without turning her head, she said coldly,"Books, more books. Math, science, astronomy, medicine, anything is fine. But if you want to use a Ninja school textbook to fool me, then you're dead!"

"Yes!" The pommel horse Jiji hurriedly escaped as if it had been relieved of a burden.

The elder sister's brisk singing came from the attic again.

"Little white rabbit, white and fair ~"

"Raise both ears ~"

"After cutting the artery, cut the vein ~"

"It's so cute to be motionless ~"

……

Carrying the expectations of his family, the pommel horse Ji Jiman walked excitedly to the center of the village.

Coincidentally, he met two neighbors who had just returned from buying vegetables. The two of them were saying goodbye to each other peacefully. When they saw the pommel horse Jiji coming over, they immediately kept quiet and turned around to pretend not to see him.

The pommel horse Jiji also hated these two women who liked to gossip. If nothing went wrong, after he took 21 steps, they would whisper about him.

However, his father Ivan had said that a gentleman could never lose his grace because of the impoliteness of others. Even when killing them, he had to maintain his elegance.

Therefore, he still had to greet her.

"Good morning, aunties." The pommel horse Jiji bowed slightly.

The neighbor turned her head away with a look of disdain and pretended not to hear anything.

Jiji the pommel horse continued to walk along the street. After only 20 steps, they were already more eager than usual to start gossiping.

"This little monster again…"

"He cursed his family of four the moment he was born…"

"Poor Yunfei's family. Their two daughters are only seven years old..."

"It caused the property prices in our area to fall to the price of the cemetery! It hasn't risen for more than ten years."

"His house is creepy…He doesn't even turn on the lights at night. I don't know what he's doing in the house, but he's making strange noises in the middle of the night."

"He also kept saying that his parents and sisters are still alive and are still living at home…"

"He greeted us…Let's go. We'll go to the shrine to get rid of the bad luck later!"

……

The two aunties looked at the pommel horse Jiji with disdain and turned around to go home.

The pommel horse Jiji wanted to tell them that he didn't turn on the lights at night because the electricity bill was too expensive and he got tired easily, so he went to bed early.

The strange sound was probably made by his sister when she dissected small animals. Because he could not afford the anesthetic, his sister liked to listen to screams when dissecting live animals.

However, he was already used to such rumors. If it was when he was young, he might have gone up to argue and told them that his parents and sister were still alive...

Unfortunately, he now knew that if he said that, they would think of him as a monster and reject him even more.

Pommel Horse Jiji never thought of himself as a monster, a lunatic, or anything like that. It was just that his family was different.

Other people's parents really existed in this real world, but his own parents only existed in the inner world of his heart. Only he could see them.

Other than that, the love he received was no less than anyone else's.

……

It had been six years since the last war ended, and the streets of Muye had long since recovered their prosperity. Unfortunately, the prosperity here did not belong to the poor pommel horse Jiji.

He was like a stinky monster surrounded by flies. Along the way, everyone who knew Jiji would avoid him. Fortunately, those annoying classmates did not appear. Perhaps they had all graduated and were tired of throwing stones and mud.

As they arrived at Naruto Tower, there were already quite a number of civilians from various countries requesting missions in the hall. As the war had just ended, there was very little friction between the major countries, so most of the missions were small missions that involved finding cats, hunting dogs, and weeding. Even the bigger ones were escort missions. The enemies were just thieves and robbers, and there were not many of them.

The pommel horse Jiji looked enviously at the client handing over stacks of cash. Any mission could allow him to have a few full meals. It was a pity that he did not pass the graduation exam, nor did he have the money to pay the tuition fee. He did not become a ninja, so he naturally did not have the right to accept these missions.

In fact, the graduation exam was very simple. After passing the theory class, one only needed to release any one of the three body techniques for ninjutsu, and one only needed to complete a 100-meter obstacle run within 20 seconds for physical skills.

He had scored full marks on the theory test, and the three-body technique was not a problem. However, the pommel horse Jiji's weak body could not complete the 100-meter obstacle course. If he ran too fast, he would faint.

Helplessly, he could only graduate and lose his job. He planned to rely on relief funds and live a simple life.

Well, it would be best if he could eat a bowl of ramen every month.
