Seeing that the Leaf Ninjas were taking the missions one by one, Pommel Horse Jiji retracted his envious gaze and took a relief fund application form from the front desk.

The relief money was not given voluntarily, and one had to apply for it from Lord Naruto himself. It was limited to once a month. Fortunately, even though the third-generation Naruto was a long-winded old man, his heart was still quite good and he would agree every time.

Otherwise, he could only ask his mother to seduce him in his dreams.

Perhaps it was because of his confidence in his strength, or because there was a powerful Dark Group hidden in the dark, Kurama Jiji did not encounter anyone in the corridor leading to Naruto's office.

He knocked on the door politely. After receiving an affirmative response, the pommel horse Jiji pushed the door open and entered. It was the most meticulous bow etiquette."Greetings, Lord Naruto the Third…"

In the office, besides Naruto, there was also a middle-aged man with bandages on his face. His face was as gloomy as a gambler who had just lost his last pair of shorts.

"It's the Kurama Family's Jiji…What's the matter?"

Kurama Jiji admired Naruto III very much. He was already so old, but he could still remember the names of everyone in the village and their living conditions clearly. Perhaps this was also the reason why he was so popular among the villagers.

"I want to apply for this month's relief funds." The pommel horse Jiji respectfully handed over the application form.

"Hmm…I remember you graduated last month, right?" This time, Naruto III did not sign the form immediately. Instead, he put the form aside and started chatting.

Yes, but I didn't pass the ninja test." Even when facing the fiery shadow, the pommel horse Jiji did not lower his head in self-abasement. His father had told him that a gentleman would never lose his pride because of anything.

"Hmm…I remember, but why didn't you repeat a year? Was it because he had no confidence in himself? It doesn't matter, not every leaf can grow healthily in the beginning, as long as you work hard to absorb the sunlight…"

"It's because I don't have the money to pay the repair fee." The pommel horse Jiji interrupted calmly.

"Cough cough…" Flying Ape's Sun Slash's words of encouragement seemed to have been cut off by a sharp knife, coming to an abrupt end in his throat. He could only use coughing to cover up his embarrassment,"

"Cough cough…For a child who lost his parents, that bit of repair fee is indeed a bit too much…"

Pommel Horse Jiji was already urging him in his heart,'You're not treating me to a meal. Everyone's time is very precious. Please sign your name on the application form as usual and let me leave. After all, I haven't had breakfast yet. If you really care about me, then write two more zeros in the amount column...'

The third generation Naruto still had no intention of signing the application form. He looked at the weak but cleanly-dressed young man quietly."Do you have any plans for the future?"

"I'll take the relief money and go to the park to make a bowl of ramen." the pommel horse replied.

"Ahem…Jiji, you misunderstood me. I mean, everyone has their own ultimate value in life. What do you plan to do after that?" Flying Ape Sun Slash coughed and said.

"The meaning of my life is to take the relief money and go to the park to get a bowl of ramen. If the amount is considerable, I can even add a piece of barbecued pork." the pommel horse replied seriously.

"..." The third generation Naruto was expressionless.

"Yuan Fei! Hurry up and sign the damn bill, then let him take the money to the park to eat ramen! I still have business to discuss!" The middle-aged man with a bandaged face frowned and said unhappily.

The pommel horse Jiji instantly had a good impression of this sinister uncle. If there was a chance, he would definitely treat him to a bowl of noodles…Forget it, let's eat a roasted mushroom.

"Danzang…Don't worry. Even if it's a withered sapling, we have to confirm it twice before we eradicate it. I plan to give the child a chance at a new life…Since he can't be a ninja, maybe we can give him a chance to live a normal life. We can't live on relief money for the rest of his life." "Tell me, child, what kind of job do you want?" I can help you arrange it."

The pommel horse Jiji's eyes were a little bright."Is there a job that pays well, has good benefits, has light work, isn't dangerous, is close to home, and can sleep at work?"

The smile on Yuan Fei Sun Slash's face immediately stiffened.

Jiji also felt that his request was a little too much. After all, he was not Naruto. How could he sleep at work? He immediately changed his words."My sister likes to read. If it's possible, I hope to work in the library."

In this way, there was no need to go to the bookstore to spend money to buy books for her sister to read. Books were expensive.

"Library…" Flying Ape Sun Slash began to think. The library was not a particularly important place, but it was not a place that anyone could enter. The Country of Fire was the country that placed the most emphasis on scientific research among the five great nations. The information in Muye's library was also very complete. Only Jounin had the right to freely borrow books.

The pommel horse Jiji waited quietly.

"Jiji…how's your illness? I mean…do you still think you can see your dead family members in your mental state?" Flying Ape Sun Slash was very worried that Pommel Horse Jiji would become mentally unstable and burn down the library. Even though his information showed that he had never done any violence to hurt anyone since he was young, and was often bullied instead.

The pommel horse Jiji lowered his head slightly and began to think. Perhaps as long as he said that he could no longer see his family, he could get this good job.

However, he did not want to deny the existence of his family. This was the only attachment he had in this village.

"Yes…I have parents and two older sisters…They're not dead…They live in my heart." the pommel horse replied solemnly.

"Uh... A very honest answer. But if it's like this, I won't be able to hand this kind of work to you..." Flying Ape Sun Slash said regretfully.

Pommel Horse Jiji didn't say anything. It's not a bad thing to receive relief money for the rest of his life anyway. If he doesn't give it to me one day, I'll ask my mom to seduce him in his dreams.

"Did you hear that? Hurry up and sign it. Tell him to scram." The middle-aged man with a bandaged face said impatiently.

The pommel horse Jiji agreed crazily.

"But... I still don't want an outstanding child to spend his whole life doing nothing. I hope that you can go to the psychiatric department of Kiba Hospital. The doctor there is a very good psychiatrist. If he can prove that you are qualified for this job, I can give this job to you." Yuan Fei Sun Slash said seriously.

"Thank you, Lord Naruto, but…" The pommel horse Jiji really didn't have any money.

"Don't worry, I'll write a letter to Xinye. He'll examine and treat you for free. Remember…I won't give up on a single leaf on this tree." Yuan Fei Sun Slash smiled and began to write the letter.

The pommel horse Jiji looked at Yuan Fei and Ri Zhan's somewhat aged face, hoping that he could continue living. Where could he find a boss who cared so much about people?

"Alright, let's find some time to meet him in the next few days. Xinye is an excellent medical ninja, especially when it comes to psychology." Flying Ape Sun Slash handed the letter he had written to pommel horse Jiji.

Jiji the pommel horse took the letter but did not move.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Flying Ape Sun Slash said doubtfully.

"Salvation money." The pommel horse stared at the application form on the table.

"Huhu..." Flying Ape Sun Slash smiled helplessly and picked up a pen to sign the application form.

Pommel Horse Jiji stared at the pen in Fire Shadow's hand without blinking, watching him draw one zero after another.

[10,000 taels!]

Two thousand taels more than usual!

In this era where a bowl of the most common salty ramen cost 50 taels, 10,000 taels was enough for a person to live a month with dignity.

Although the pommel horse Jiji did not have to feed one person, but a family.

"Thank you, Lord Naruto!" Kurama Jiji bowed deeply in excitement and bid farewell to the two higher-ups with the highest authority in Muye. The greedy worm in his stomach had already urged him to quickly collect the money and go to the park to get a bowl of ramen.

He left a pair of good friends chatting in the office.

"Sun Slash, you don't have to put on such a hypocritical act in front of me. The leaves should be plucked when they're withered, not wasted nutrients." Shimura Tanzo said coldly with his eyes half-closed.

"Huhu, Tuan Zang, that's why I'm the one sitting on the Naruto chair and not you. The true essence of Naruto is to treat a village as a home. Perhaps some children are disobedient, some children have poor talent, but they're still our children in the end. Unless it's absolutely necessary, we can't abandon any one of them…" Flying Ape Sun Slash chuckled.

"You and I have different ideologies. Don't talk nonsense with me! My roots need people, especially those from the Blood Successor Boundary!" Shimura shouted in a low voice.

"Do you want the one just now? He's also from the Xue Family."

"Hmph, my roots aren't trash cans that accept all kinds of trash."

……

Jiji couldn't hear their conversation. He had already gone to the finance department to collect a whole stack of new banknotes and carefully counted them over and over again. The sense of security brought by this thick stack of banknotes was irreplaceable.

There was finally money in his wallet that had been dry for a long time. The pommel horse Jiji's footsteps became lighter and lighter. He felt that if he had placed such a stack of banknotes at the finish line during the graduation exam, he might have passed the 100-meter obstacle course.

"Ramen... Ramen... Yile Ramen..." Kurama Yoshikazu kept repeating this in his heart as he walked towards the central park. Only this shop's ramen tasted good and was affordable.

"Please don't meet Second Sister…Please…Please…"

Kurama Yoshikichi looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar ramen stall in the park. He was getting closer and closer. At this time, he only needed to shout,"Boss, a bowl of salty ramen!"

The soft and chewy ramen would soon be formed in the boss 'hands. While waiting for the ramen to be cooked, Kurama Jiji had five minutes and thirty seconds to quietly consider whether he could add a sweet hot spring egg to the noodles.

Although there was a high probability that it wouldn't increase, during the process of thinking, the fantasy in his brain had already tasted the hot spring egg countless times. This kind of thinking was blissful.

Just as the pommel horse Jiji's eyes met the hand-made chef's, the two of them smiled at the same time. Just as they were about to shout, a girl suddenly appeared with an evil smile on her face and stood between the two of them.

"Second…Second…Second Sister…" As the saying goes, what one fears comes true. The pommel horse Jiji swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was extremely nervous.

"Ji ~ Ji! The relief money has already been received, right?" Second Sister's hand wandered to Jiji's chest where his wallet was, hooked around his neck, and smiled evilly.

"Second Sister, can I…have a bowl of ramen first…just ten minutes…" Kurama Jiji swallowed.

"Ten minutes! You actually made me wait for you for ten minutes! Do you know how many times you can make a 35-year-old bald man happy in ten minutes? Twenty times! Have you ever cared about his feelings? You only care about yourself!"

"Second Sister…I just want to eat a bowl of salty ramen…"

"What's so good about salty ramen? When Second Sister wins the money, Second Sister will treat you to the most expensive seafood ramen with Overlord Lobster! Go, go, go! He had been waiting for this day for a month! Hahahaha…"

The pommel horse Jiji was dragged along by Second Sister, and the pedestrians all gave way in fear.

Because in their eyes, the pommel horse Jiji had gone crazy again. It suddenly looked like it had seen a ghost and became frightened. After talking nonsense, it convulsed and fell to the ground, arching its body like an earthworm.
