Drinking hot porridge in small sips, the little girl secretly glanced at the man in black in the distance. She had not yet fully understood the situation and seemed to have been rescued.

But why did this person save himself? Who is he? I just heard from him that he used medical ninjutsu to treat him. It is very likely that he was a famous ninja.

At a young age, her previous experience made her thoughts complicated, far more than her peers should have.

"Your random thoughts are not conducive to your physical recovery." Suddenly, the voice of the man in black sounded, which scared the little girl's hands trembled, and the hot porridge almost spilled out.

She shrank her head, and was in a sleeping bag at this time, and she only showed her head. Such an action was so cute that she couldn't describe.

The man in black couldn't help laughing. After all, it was just a little girl.

This time, the little girl didn't dare to think about it and drank the porridge little by little, leaving no drop in the true sense.

"I've finished eating. No matter what, thank you again for saving me. My name is Xiaonan. I don't know what you call me?" The little girl asked in a sleeping bag. She wanted to get up, but she was still weak. After trying it a few times, she gave up.

"As it turns out." The man in black seemed to have known her name for a long time, without showing any surprise expression. After thinking for two seconds, he replied, "Uchiha Gen."

"Oh." The little girl nodded, with no special expression on her face. As an ordinary person, she naturally would not understand what a heavy weight this name is in the entire ninja world.

Afterwards, the two fell into silence, with only crackling sounds from the fire from time to time. Xuan looked at her and thought about taking out a set of clothes in his portable space. "Change it first. Your clothes were too torn and completely soaked in the rain. I threw them away when I was treating you."

"Ah?" Xiaonan exclaimed, and then realized that he was not wearing clothes in his sleeping bag, and his little face suddenly showed a strange expression.

Xuan threw the clothes directly, but stood up and headed out of the cave, obviously leaving room for Xiaonan to change clothes.

About five minutes later, Xuan came back, Xiaonan, who was wearing new clothes, stood in front of him, lowering his head and wondering what he was thinking.

The so-called "Xiao Nan, who has changed into a new dress, is eye-catching, but long-term malnutrition and too young at this time, it doesn't seem amazing. If you say that you are born with beauty, it would be pure nonsense to see that you will be a beauty in the future.

However, Xuan knew that if she was really the Xiaonan she knew, she would indeed grow into a great beauty in the future. Such things as malnutrition can be improved after a period of careful conditioning.

"Sit." Xuan walked forward and sat down on a pile of stones next to the fire. Xiaonan moved his steps carefully and returned to the sleeping bag and sat down with his knees in his arms.

It can be seen that she is a little afraid of Xuan and is always cautious in her movements.

He took out two pieces of sweet bread and placed it in front of her on a delicate plate. Xuan whispered: "You are too weak in physique and have not eaten for too long. You cannot overeat at one time, so you just asked you to drink a bowl of porridge to make you feel appetizing. I guess you haven't had enough food yet. Take these desserts first."

Looking at the two plates of desserts, Xiaonan's eyes lit up. After all, she was only four or five years old and was born with a lack of immunity to desserts. She suffered too much during this period. The last time she ate these things was when her parents were alive.

However, she is a person with strong self-control. Even if she longs for a while, she doesn't reach out immediately. Instead, she ponders for a moment and suddenly asks: "Master Xuan, are you a ninja?"

With his eyebrows slightly raised, Xuan didn't expect that she would suddenly ask such a question, but he nodded truthfully and said, "That's right."

"Then, can you please help me kill two people?" Xiaonan stammered, not daring to raise his head. This sentence seemed to have risen sharply before he could say it.

"Oh!" Xuan curled a smile, and looked at the young Xiaonan, and his smile became stronger and stronger. "You have been the first person to make such a request to me over the years, which is interesting."

Hearing this sentence, Xiaonan's breath was suffocated and she thought she had been rejected, but this was her only chance to take revenge. She became anxious and subconsciously said: "I, can I give you money?"

"Ah?" Xuan was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a while, or he did not know how to answer. From the Warring States Period to now, for the first time, someone asked to pay him to kill someone for the first time, which made the god of time and space feel speechless. "This, so..."

Xiaonan took a deep breath, forced himself to cheer up, and continued: "I have heard that ninjas will accept tasks. As long as the price is paid, they will help you kill people. Although... although I don't have money now, I am still young, and I will work hard to make money. As long as you can kill those two ninjas for me, no matter how much money you want, I will definitely earn enough for you..."

"This girl!" Xuan said helplessly, and felt a sense of laughter and crying. Unexpectedly, he would have been bought and murdered one day, and the partner was a little girl, who was also preparing to write an IOU. If he had been found out by the ninjas of his time back then, he might have laughed to death.

"I don't charge money."

Xiaonan's aura burst out, and she lowered her head and stopped talking again, and the only hope seemed to be shattered. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and tears faintly appeared in her eyes. Yes, who would kill other ninjas for herself for no reason? It turns out that she was too self-righteous and thought that others would be kind to her and could make such unreasonable requests.

"If I guess correctly, you want me to kill because the two ninjas who killed your parents at that time, right? Although I won't kill anyone for you, I can teach you how to avenge you. It just so happens that I haven't had an apprentice for so many years, how about being my disciple."

Xuan smiled and said this. Xiao Nan, who was already discouraged, suddenly looked up, with a trace of crystal clearness hanging on the corners of her eyes, but her heart became lively like never before.

"Really?" Xiaonan asked in disbelief.
