Meeting Hezi Again

Shunren's status as a core disciple was officially recognized by the Uchiha, and his corresponding treatment naturally improved.

First, they were moved from the outskirts of the Uchiha settlement to the central area, and were even given a large mansion and a certain amount of money to support them every month.

The Uchiha is a large clan with its own weapon manufacturing workshop, making it self-sufficient in ninja tools.

This benefit is top-notch, which makes Shunren a little unaccustomed to it. However, this is also a characteristic of the Uchiha Clan. They have always only admired the strong. If you are good enough, they will respect you and treat you like a king. Otherwise, they won't even give you a second glance.

The servants' quarters, as its name suggests, are a place for providing for servants.

Ninjas are human too; they need to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. It's not surprising that the Uchiha provides their outstanding members with servants skilled in daily life.

"Shunren, we have the finest servants here, ready to serve you." The master of the servant quarters was a short, stout middle-aged man. Judging from his physique, he did not appear to be a ninja, but he bore the family crest of Gunbai, indicating that he was also a member of the Uchiha.

Shunren nodded. Since he had such good resources, there was no need for him to be pretentious. Living in such a large house, there was no reason for him to clean it himself. As for the issue of three meals a day, Shunren was not good at cooking in his previous life and usually ate out. Now that there were servants to take care of it, that was naturally the best thing.

After looking around, Shunren was taken aback, because he found that most of the servants in the servant quarters were young girls, some even around his age.

As if sensing Shunren's question, the master of the servant's quarters patiently explained, "They are all from the Uchiha settlement."

Shunren's eyes flickered. "People in the Uchiha settlement" and "people of the Uchiha Clan" are not the same concept. The former refers to the people living in this settlement, while the latter refers to the clan members who have the surname Uchiha.

The Uchiha Clan has always placed great importance on bloodlines, and this concept is deeply ingrained throughout the Uchiha world. Furthermore, there is a strong preference for sons over daughters, a trait particularly pronounced among the Uchiha, who value martial prowess.

The Uchiha Clan is a large clan with a foundation and resources unmatched by other clans. However, because of its large number of members, the average resources available for distribution are relatively small. Therefore, the Uchiha naturally concentrates most of its resources on outstanding members. Generally speaking, Uchiha women, unless they possess exceptional talent, are unable to obtain the clan's resources.

Therefore, female ninjas are rarely seen in the Uchiha Clan; most Uchiha women work in production or service industries.

Shunren had no opinion on this; it was simply the Uchiha's rule.

However, to be fair, he personally doesn't really like servants who are too young, since he's a normal person and doesn't have any particular fetish for young girls.

However, all that met his eyes were girls, the oldest no more than twelve or thirteen years old, who were clumsy at everything they did, Shunren immediately lost interest.

Just then, a commotion suddenly came from outside the servants' quarters.

"Lord Yamada, please take me in!"

The master of the servant's quarters immediately turned pale, forcing an awkward smile at Shunren. "Um, Shunren, please excuse me for a moment..."

Shunren frowned; he felt he had heard that woman's voice somewhere before.

Curious, he Earth Flow outside.

Standing outside the servants' quarters was a young woman in her early twenties. Her eyes were wrapped in bandages, presumably indicating visual impairment. She was also carrying a child on her back.

Shunren was stunned for a moment, then immediately recognized the woman...

Yamada looked at her with disgust and said coldly, "Miss Hezi, I've already told you not to come again. Our servant quarters will never take in a blind servant!"

Hezi immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle, appearing extremely humble, and pleaded, "Lord Yamada, I was once a ninja myself. Even if I can't see, my senses... won't affect my work. Please take me in."

However, Yamada remained unmoved by Hezi's plea, shaking his head, "No!"

Hezi was originally a ninja, but retired after being injured. Generally speaking, the servants' quarters would be happy to take her in, since a ninja has to do more work than an ordinary person.

Whether someone is deaf or mute, or even if they lose an arm or a leg, it doesn't matter; for a ninja, they can still get things done. But Hezi's situation is absolutely unacceptable.

The reason is that the Uchiha Clan's supreme Kekkei Genkai is the Sharingan, and the clan members have an almost fanatical special worship of eyes. However, Hezi's eyes are disabled, which is undoubtedly something that the Uchiha hate, like a plague god.

"Yamada -sama..."

Yamada showed no pity whatsoever, shouting angrily, "Get out of here! You blind plague!"

Hezi's body trembled. She was also a member of the Uchiha, so she naturally had a special feeling for eyes. In particular, she had once awakened the Sharingan, which the Uchiha clan dreamed of, but unfortunately, she met with misfortune. In order to prevent the enemy from obtaining the Sharingan, her eyes were forcibly gouged out!

Thinking of her young child, and the fact that she had lost her identity as a ninja and had no means of livelihood, Hezi's legs went weak. All she could do now was kneel down and beg.

Just then, Hezi felt her body sink, as if someone had grabbed her shoulders.

"Servant, I want her." Shunren helped Hezi up and said calmly.

"Shunren?!" Yamada was stunned, utterly bewildered. "You... what did you say? You actually want a blind plague god?"

For the Uchiha Clan, people with eye injuries are considered a plague, repulsive wherever they go. Therefore, Yamada could not understand Shunren's reasons for doing so.

"Shun... Shunren? You were from that time..." Hezi was also taken aback upon hearing this, clearly remembering Shunren as well. Having treated Shunren's injuries before, she recognized Shunren Chakra aura.

"Yes," Shunren nodded, and said gently, "If you have nowhere else to go, come to my place."
