Time is like a white horse passing by, fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

This is the second year that the mourner left Konoha in the Land of Rain.

Originally, I thought that I would only stay in the country of rain for about a year, and after collecting information and some forging materials unique to the country of rain, I secretly returned to Konoha through the Sato family's business channel of selling weapons, and I didn't expect to stay in this rainy and humid country for so long.

He took the scroll from the Konoha Sato family from the psychic Toadmaru, and the mourning didn't open the scroll at the first time, he leaned on the stone pillar in the cave and looked at Yahiko, Konan and Nagato who were listening to the lecture on the side.

In the past year, the ninjutsu of these three people has not improved.

When it comes to teaching ninjutsu, even the former shadow ninja who has experienced a hundred battles can't help but want to sigh in grief - I used to think that those companions who retired from the shadows and chose to be teachers were mediocre talents who couldn't bear the hardships, and I sneered at them several times.

However, the way of heaven is good reincarnation, and after teaching three children ninjutsu for more than a year, Li Fang at this time realized that those partners who went to be teachers after retiring were not mediocre talents who couldn't endure hardships.

There is no doubt that they who choose to be teachers are people who can bear hardships and stand hard work and have great courage!

And my whole life is probably insulated from things like teaching and educating people - just change someone to teach these three children, how can you cultivate a lower forbearance in more than a year, right?

Not surprisingly, under the teaching of Li, Yahiko, Konan and Nagato, the three of them have not yet reached the level of Shinobi - in the Shimotsu graduation exam of the Shimosuke, the results of these three people in the actual combat of ninjutsu are simply miserable, in the words of Musuke, even his domestic cats and dogs are better than these three.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the written test results of these three people are quite good, and the foundation can be described as very solid.

"At least the three of them won't be illiterate. "A certain Sato Fusuke said with relief, "Solid basic knowledge represents good eyesight, and it is also possible to train to be a battle commentator." ”

Combat commentator? When someone fights, you stand aside and give a commentary? Do you think this is a hot-blooded comic?

This sentence of relief, which cannot be regarded as relief at all, made Li feel very heartbroken, and the progress made by these three people in alchemy under the teaching of mourning made Li feel even more heartbroken.

In just one year, the three of them have grown from laymen with no foundation to junior alchemists.

This means that the current Yahiko, Xiao Nan and Nagato have completely mastered the primary knowledge of alchemy, and have a preliminary understanding of other types of alchemy, and have initially mastered a certain category of alchemy, and Xiao Nan, who is particularly talented in alchemy among the three, has a certain insight into the internal laws of matter, and when he launches alchemy, he can still change the form of matter.

This also means that Xiao Nan can already use alchemy to fight.

This made Yahiko and Nagato envious, so the two of them were more attentive to the study of alchemy than before - compared to ninjutsu, which could not be transformed into combat effectiveness after learning for more than a year, the hope of gaining combat power through alchemy was obviously greater.

Thinking of the three of them studying hard, a smile appeared on Fu Zhu's face, and then he reached out and uncovered the scroll in his hand.

The next moment, the smile on his face was gone.

Instead, there was anger and a hint of sadness that he had tried so hard to suppress.

"What's wrong?"

Li on the side noticed that something was wrong with the mourner, and he didn't care about the things that were still in class, so he walked quickly to the mourning and asked with concern.

Her gaze swept to the scroll in the mourning assistant, and the Sato family mark on the scroll was also very familiar to her, and in an instant she realized the reason for the mourning gaffe.

"Something happened to Konoha?"

Musuke shook his head, "It's the rope tree. ”

Konoha Shinobi, the rope tree of the Thousand Hands Clan, strayed into a detonation trap while on a mission and was unfortunately killed.

After all, it was wartime, and dead people were commonplace, and even if a friend died, the mourner would only feel sad, but what made him angry was the treatment of the dead rope tree - all his internal organs were hollowed out.

"Hollowing out the internal organs..."Li on the side was also shocked when he heard the news, "It's the first time I've heard of this kind of thing, what's going on?"

"Don't think about this with the common sense of ninjutsu. Fu Zhu snorted coldly, "This matter is not as simple as imagined. ”

As he spoke, Fu Zhu tore the scroll in his hand, and the calendar on the side realized that there was a mezzanine in the scroll.

"It's Taniguchi's double insurance. After a brief explanation, he pulled out the note from the mezzanine, looked at it, and handed it to Li.

After hesitating for a moment, he took the note from the mourning assistant and looked at it quickly.

Then, a look of shock and disbelief appeared on her beautiful face.

"It's impossible," exclaimed Li, "it's a time of war, and we're also companions, how could we..."

"Nothing is impossible. Musake snatched the note from Li's hand and threw it on the fire with the scroll, and the flames instantly swallowed the scroll and the note.

The two stared at the dancing flames and remained silent.

Yahiko and the others, who were originally in class, also stood beside the mourning and the calendar at this time, they looked at the silent two, even though they were puzzled, but they didn't have the courage to ask—from the few words they had just talked, they also realized that something bad seemed to have happened.

"I'm leaving. ”

After half a ring, Musuke looked at Yahiko and the others on the side, and announced in a deep voice.

Yahiko and the others glanced at each other, but did not talk.

There was an uncomfortable silence.

“... Can we help?"

It was not Konan or Yahiko who broke the silence, but Nagato, who resisted at first, and then slowly accepted the bereavement.

Musuke looked at the three of them, smiling kindly, but the words that came out of his mouth were extremely ruthless.

"You're too weak to help me at all. ”

"What are you talking about?

Yahiko, who immediately exploded after hearing this, raised his fist and was about to smash it at Fusuke, but Li on the side quietly appeared behind him, reached out and grabbed his raised fist, stopping him.

"You're right. Nagato's calm voice came, "But even though we are weak, we also have things that can help. ”

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and replied, "Yes, there is one more thing you can help with. ”

"What's the matter, as long as we can help, we will try our best to help you!" Xiao Nan took over without hesitation.

"Can I ask you to leave?"

PS2: The plot is about to accelerate and go berserk, so I have to put away the first few foreshadowings.
