After Yagami Ki's merciless sarcasm, the two who accompanied each other fell into an atmosphere of silence. A few minutes later, Yagami finally saw the complex called the school.

The "Ninja School" squinted, and with his excellent eyesight, Yagami Ki could easily see the signboard directly in front of the school gate.

These words mean that the brutal ninja selection model of Fog Hidden Village will be a thing of the past.

But... As Yagami and Terumi progress, Yagami gradually discovered a problem.

"There are very few students around this school. ”

"Sister Ming, it doesn't seem that there are many people in your school. Yagami said, rolling his eyes to observe the children around him. He soon discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Children who are rushing to school clearly show two states. One is the calm and serious of the old man, and the other is the high spirits of the juvenile.

The more calm children, many of whom wore a standard of clothing, or ordinary civilian clothes.

Most of the high-spirited children wore clothes made of better fabrics, and most of them had the family crest printed on their backs. Yagami vaguely had his own guess.

"Originally, the village had a compulsory military service policy, and everyone in the village had to draw lots to decide whether their children wanted to become ninja reserves. The probability of drawing is 1 in 2.

Last year, I canceled this policy and changed my role as a ninja from compulsory to voluntary. At Yagamiki's side, Terumi replied softly.

Yagami was able to understand villagers who did not send their children to ninja schools. They were frightened, frightened by the cruel selection system that had existed before. No one can accept sending their children to death again and again.

"This year's number of people has doubled compared to previous years, which is already very good. Terumi continued.

Yagami glanced sideways at Terumi, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but overflow with a smile. Anyone can see that behind the gentle smile of this female ninja, there is a strength that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

"Welcome to the Ninja School of Fog Hidden Village. The moment she stepped into the school gate, Terumi said briskly. The tone was full of pride.

Yagami could understand this joy, and when he set up his own training center in Otoshinobi Village, he also had this feeling, that satisfaction of having his wish fulfilled.

Following in the footsteps of Terumi Ming, Yagami Ki began to tour the campus. Because classes have already been held, there are only empty paths on campus.

"Article 3 of the Ninja Code of the Fog Hidden Village: You must keep the information of your ninja village with your life, and put the information of the village before your own life. If you can't take the corpse of your companion, you must destroy the corpse to prevent the enemy from obtaining information about the ninja village through secret arts.

As far as I know, the Yamanaka clan of Konoha can use secret techniques to obtain confidential information from corpses. ・・・・・Also, there's a situation that I hope you'd better not encounter. ”

"If your companion is captured by the enemy and it is difficult to rescue you during an important confidential mission, please kill your companion as appropriate to ensure that the information is not obtained. ”

Leaning through the window, Yagami saw the ninja teacher who was lecturing. A scar spread from his forehead to his neck, disappearing in thick black hair. One of the scarred eyes had been blinded and replaced with a terrifying yellow prosthetic eye, while the other was glaring at the students as if in anger.

The corners of his mouth were so tight that there were obvious vertical marks, and one foot was a little off.

"This is an elite ninja with a long history of fighting and the worst battles. He suffered a serious injury to his leg, which is presumably the reason why he teaches at the ninja school. ”

The ninja naturally also saw Yagami and Terumi, and in between classes, he turned his face and nodded slightly at Terumi as a salute.

Restarting his steps, Yagami followed Terumi out of the hallway of the classroom and went somewhere else.

The newly built schools in Wuyin Village are not very large, and although a quarter of them are still being built, the size of the schools that have been built is only about three-fifths of that of Konoha. But despite this, the stop-and-go Terumi and Yagami Ki were only able to finish visiting the campus when the sun was in the middle of the day.

Eventually, they stopped at a training ground. At that training ground, there is a class of students who will graduate in one year under the guidance of teachers.

In the center of the training ground, a suspension bridge connects the two sides of the wide training ground, about 100 meters long. It is said to be a suspension bridge, but it is actually a stepping point made up of irregular branches of different thicknesses, and the branches are connected by iron chains.

One by one, the students jumped onto the suspension bridge, stepping on the shaking branches and jumping to the other side, while a group of students shot out the wooden kundo in their hands to interfere with the actions of the students on the bridge. The students on the drawbridge had to dodge the flying wooden kunai with kunai while dodging forward.

Yagami Ki was watching, only to hear a scream, and a girl who lost her balance due to being hit by a kunai and fell to the ground screaming. With a crisp click, her calf bone was broken by the huge impact, and she had to curl up on the ground in pain holding her leg.

The teacher's response was swift, and he quickly took the girl away and handed it over to the medical ninja who was on the side, while the group of students on the drawbridge continued their training unsurprisingly.

The Blood Mist Village, even if it begins to fade its name, the strict ninja training method is still not comparable to other ninja villages. Yagami couldn't help but think of Konoha again, and if that group of children encountered this situation, they would probably cry their noses.

"How is my ninja school in Fog Hidden Village compared to Konoha's. Terumi beside Yagami asked.

"There is more iron and blood, but not enough warmth. After a little thought, Yagami said his evaluation.

"Warmth?" Terumi showed a slightly surprised expression on her face.

"Yes, warmth. Although it seems to be useless, and even faintly conflicts with the rules of the ninja, it is a necessity to improve the centripetal force of the ninja village. I lived in Konoha for a while, and the relationship between the teachers and students at Konoha School was a little more harmonious.

And here..." At this point, Yagami didn't say any more.

Terumi can also see it, because it is very obvious. Many of the students who took a break looked at their teachers with anger and hatred.

Most of these students were commoners, who had not experienced the pre-school education of the aristocracy. With weak initial ability, they will inevitably suffer in this kind of rigorous training. And pain naturally brings resentment, and the direct object of students' resentment is the teacher who is harshly disciplining them.

"That's right!" Terumi Ming, who noticed this situation under Yagamiki's reminder, faded and asked, "How is my ninja school in Fog Hidden Village compared to Konoha's." "That hint of pride.

Her delicate brow furrowed slightly, which made Yagami Qi can't help but want to comfort her. He continued, "However, it seems to me that Konoha's warmth is too much, and their students are too comfortable to forget the heavy things that are carried behind the word ninja. ”

"What the ninja carried. Terumi glanced thoughtfully at Yagami.

"By the way, I'll probably stay here for a week, and I'll be leaving Wuyin Village in a week. Turning around, Yagami found a bench and sat down, and Terumi sat down next to him.

"Don't stay a little longer?"

"No, I have a lot of work to do. As he spoke, Yagami stretched. "That way, you'll be able to save two elite ninjas from doing other things. ”

After Yagami lived in the Fog Hidden Village, the Fog Hidden Village sent two ninjas to constantly monitor him day and night.

"Yagamiki, I never knew what you wanted to do?" the corners of his mouth were raised upwards, and Terumi said in an inexplicable tone.

"I just want to live well. ”

"Live well?"

With his head resting on his arm, Yagami Kirki turned his face to Terumi and grinned, but there was a hint of fairy-like softness in a trance with his long hair.

"If I said that there would be a war in the future that would decide the entire continent, you would believe it. ”

A cool breeze blew, and the tone in which Yagami said this sentence made Terumi feel cold. She stared into Yagami's eyes, their amber pupils as calm as solidified amber, and there was not a trace of emotion, not a trace of emotion.

opened her mouth, and Terumi was about to reply, but found that two familiar people appeared in front of her.

"Mizukage-sama, Elder Chizuru has something to discuss with you, and is currently waiting for you in Mizukage's office. ”

"Got it. Terumi nodded and said, "By the way, this one with a serious face is Qing, and this one with an unconfident face is Chojuro, they are my guards." ”

She stretched out her hand like Chojuro and Qing to introduce Yagami Ki, "He's Yagami Ki, a guy who has to be careful when he sees him later." So far, we are a partner of Wuyin Village. ”

"When we meet for the first time, please advise. Yagami nodded slightly.

"Ah, please advise. Chojuro responded in a bit of a panic.

"Please advise. Qing's voice was as calm as his face.

"As you can see, I still have business to take care of, and I'm out of company. Terumi stood up and said goodbye to Yagami. After speaking, he left with Qinghe Chojuro.

After saying goodbye to Terumi, Yagami was still sitting in the same place.

A cyan leaf was blown off by a fierce gale, and landed on Yagamiki's thigh.

"It's been another year, it's time~"

Unconsciously, Yagami let out a soft sigh.
