The next day, the sky was slightly bright and a hint of paleness was just visible on the horizon.

Minato woke up early, tilted his head, looked at his sister, carefully covered him with a blanket, and then tiptoed out of the room quietly.

The light was barely bright enough to see things. There were only a few people on the street, all of whom were people who got up early and went to bed late, busy with their lives.

Now, Minato is going to become one of them.

Holding the address left for him by Kaede Hoshino, Minato groped his way forward bit by bit.

After being questioned by the ninja guarding the village entrance, Minato left the village.

The warm breeze blowing on his face relaxed Minato's tense heart slightly. He clenched his fists and walked step by step towards the house that was looming not far away.

I don't know if it was intentional or coincidence, but Hoshino Kaede was sitting at the gate early. When he saw Minato, he grinned and said.

"You're quite diligent. You seem to have come an hour early. Are you so impatient?"

“I’m not going to overpay you.”

Minato stepped forward and saluted stiffly, his lips moving: "I want to do more work."

Xingye Feng opened his eyelids, straightened up, stared for a while, and chuckled: "Then go plow all the fields first, then water and fertilize them."

"Oh, you only have the morning, you have other things to do in the afternoon."

Xingye Feng pointed to the tools prepared on the side and reminded him that the working time was limited and he should be quick.

After hearing the order, Minato did not hesitate, immediately bent down, rolled up his trouser legs and went to work in the fields.

Such efficiency made Hoshino Kaede smile even more. Who doesn’t like a diligent person?

But no matter how hard he works, his efficiency is just so low... Feng Hoshino just shook his head.

I saw the tiny figure working hard in the vast fields, holding the hoe tightly in both hands, waving it constantly, trying to turn over the soil under his feet.

With each strike, Minato used all his strength.

In just half an hour, his originally fair little face had turned red, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Minato, your efficiency is really a bit low." Hoshino Kaede's light words fell into his ears, but it was like a thunderclap, making Minato nervous instantly.

At this moment, Minato felt as if there was a ferocious beast lurking behind him. If he relaxed for a moment, he would be devoured by the beast.

He did not dare to slack off. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to speed up further. Under the pressure, his efficiency doubled.

However, this way of over-consumerizing physical energy will undoubtedly make the body feel more exhausted.

"Huff--Huff--" The heavy breathing sound seemed to hit the body like waves.

Fatigue surged over his body like a raging tide, and every muscle was filled with endless soreness, as if it was going to devour him.

Minato felt like a machine that was about to break down, with every part protesting in pain.

"Tired! So tired!" This was the only thought in Minato's mind at this moment.

His limbs had become extremely heavy, as if a thousand-pound burden was pressing on them, but his brain still refused to give in and forced his body to move forward.

The reason was simple, just because... Minato glanced secretly to the side, and saw that Hoshino Kaede was staring at him with burning eyes, with no intention of letting him stop and rest.

Faced with such a situation, Minato was helpless.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, raised the sword in his hand again and continued to swing it.

Time passed minute by minute, one hour, two hours... The sun hung high in the sky, like a blazing fireball, generously pouring its light and heat to the earth.

Sweat slid down Minato's forehead and soaked his clothes, but he didn't dare to slack off.

He knew that only by persisting could he satisfy Xingye Feng's requirements.

Although his body had reached its limit, he still held on with his strong willpower.

But people have finally reached their limit. Even adults can be like this, let alone a skinny child.

Finally, there was a dull sound of someone falling to the ground, and Minato's eyes went dark, and he was about to faint on the ground.

Fortunately, Xingye Feng had been watching and took action the next second after he fell to the ground.

Holding Minato tightly, he had already lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

"The future Hokage is extraordinary." Xingye Feng chuckled and weighed the little man in his arms. "If the body can't keep up, everything is empty."

After saying that, he instantly came to the room that had been prepared.

In no time, he stripped Mizumon naked and put him into a bathtub filled with medicinal herbs.

"Good afternoon, little guy." After Hoshino Feng finished everything, he moved his lips slightly and then closed the door.

Whoosh whoosh—

Just as Xingye Feng closed the door, three figures immediately came down, knelt on one knee, and bowed their heads deeply.

"What's the situation in the village? Is there any chaos?"

Xingye Feng, with his back to the three people, had a stern expression on his face, and a chill continued to flow out of his body.

He had not killed anyone for a long time, but at this moment, he had already developed the intention to kill.

"Replying to Hokage-sama, all is well in the village and land reclamation efforts are progressing."

"Most of the ninja clans are very cooperative, but there are still some families who are resisting stubbornly."

The team leader among the three said respectfully.

"Are you reluctant to give up the prosperity in front of you? Or do you think I'm easy to talk to?" Xingye Feng said softly.

But it made the Anbu tremble, shrink their necks, and remain silent and motionless.

After a long while, Xingye Feng said, "Let Shumao handle it. He knows what to do."

"Yes!" x3

After saying this, the three of them retreated silently like ghosts.

The warm sun pours down, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility to people. The noon time seems like a poetic moment.

After two hours of medicinal bathing, Minato finally woke up slowly.

"It looks like you slept quite comfortably." Suddenly, the slightly teasing voice of Hoshino Kaede came into my ears.

Like a flash of lightning cutting through the night sky, Minato's thoughts became extremely clear in an instant, and he almost instinctively jumped up, his body movement was so large that it even splashed water.

But the next second, Hoshino Kaede's words made the alert Minato immediately embarrassed. His face seemed to be cooked, and a layer of red flush suddenly spread all the way to his ears.

"She has a nice figure and fair skin."

"But please be careful next time, in case the person in front of you is a girl." There was a strong hint of sarcasm in Hoshino Kaede's words, which was self-evident.

"Master." Minato spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito, which was really embarrassing.

Xingye Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Just call me Sir, I'm used to it."

"Also, the cost of the medicinal materials will be deducted from your wages."

Minato's mood rose and fell drastically, as if falling from the sky to the ground.

"Now, get dressed and help me prepare water for bathing, immediately!"

Without caring about Minato's mood, Hoshino Kaede left after saying a few words, leaving Minato with his brain still shut down.
