Chapter 11: The Road Cut Off

Looking at Chiba's puzzled eyes, Natsuki sighed again and talked about his experience of studying back then. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"At first, I wanted to join the rain ninja... It was only after I went there that I found out... Yunin does not admit children from outside the village. ”

"I've been pleading there for a long time, but nothing has come of it..."

Hearing this, Chiba suddenly thought of something, and his face suddenly became ugly.

Glancing at Chiba slightly, Natsuki continued: "Nowadays, all ninja villages, whether it is a large ninja village or a small ninja village, they already have their own complete systems, and many times, a large part of the children in their own ninja villages will be eliminated, not to mention us children outside the village..."

"So, if you want to join the ninja village, it's simply unrealistic."

Chiba frowned slightly, he understood that what Xia Mu said was the truth.

Now it is no longer the time when there is a shortage of manpower in the first construction of the major ninja villages, and ordinary people may still have the opportunity to join the ninja villages, especially Konoha under the leadership of the kind-hearted first Hokage.

However, there is no shortage of training for the next generation in each ninja village, and there may even be a shortage of resources.

For example, the barren Mist Shinobi and Sand Shinobi even had to reduce their size.

In this case, the children from other villages do not have any chance to join at all.

In particular, the various ninja villages are trying to infiltrate and counter-infiltrate each other, so it is even more unlikely that there will be such an opportunity.

Who would be stupid enough to easily give the other party a chance to infiltrate their own ninja village.

Before, Chiba had been thinking about learning how to use chakra and finding a way to learn ninjutsu, and he didn't have time to think too much, but now Natsuki almost completely cut off Chiba's hope in just a few words.

Chiba suddenly understood why at the beginning Shadow said that even if he had talent, he was destined to be an ant for the rest of his life.

I also understood why Scarface was willing to let himself go.

It's all just because I don't have a chance to become a ninja at all.

In just an instant, cold sweat continued to flow down Chiba's head.

Could it be that ... I can really only be as the shadow says, and I will be just an ant for the rest of my life.

Seeing Chiba's face full of confusion, Natsuki sighed softly again.

"Actually, there are still ways to learn chakra, but the hope is too slim..."

"How?"

Hearing Natsuki say that there was still a chance, Chiba stared at Natsume anxiously as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"One way is that I heard that the ninja village sometimes recruits some special talented or intelligent children to go in, of course, this is their own person sent to find it randomly, if you take the initiative to go up they can't accept you, so it's tantamount to a matter of luck, but if you live near the ninja village all year round, this chance may be greater."

After listening to Natsuki's method that was not a method, Chiba couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The so-called Great Ninja Village occasionally makes exceptions, and Chiba can probably guess what is going on.

The roots of Konoha seem to have such a tradition of taking orphans, but killing Chiba Chiba doesn't want to enter that terrible place.

Being brainwashed and brutally trained there as a tool was definitely not the result he wanted.

What's more, who knows if those so-called special admissions were not captured by scientists like Orochimaru to do research.

Even if there is really a more normal search for special recruitment, Chiba definitely doesn't want to be selected.

Chiba doesn't believe that these people don't have any means of polygraphing, with the situation of an ordinary person like him who has not undergone any training, under the interrogation of those experienced ninjas, it is estimated that he will show his feet in three or two strokes, and he is estimated to be on the street with a random illusion, and he may be arrested as a spy when the time comes.

It would be even more fun if you used some kind of machine or ninjutsu to pry open your brain and come up with more things.

Therefore, this method may be a glimmer of hope for others, but for Chiba, it is tantamount to poison within poison.

And just as Chiba's brows were tangled, Natsuki spoke again.

"In fact, maybe there's one last way... And I tried this method at the beginning, and even almost succeeded..."

"What's the solution?"

Looking at Chiba, who was slightly nervous, Natsuki slowly spit out a few words: "Have you ever heard of samurai?" ”

"Samurai..."

Chiba suddenly thought for a moment.

"It seems that you also know the samurai, as a samurai, you actually have the opportunity to learn chakra, and the difficulty of learning should be much lower than going to the ninja village, and I heard that the samurai's cultivation is not inferior to those powerful ninjas."

As he spoke, a trace of memory flashed in Natsuki's eyes.

"Back then, I participated in the training camp for the selection of samurai in the Iron Country, and they were not so strict about the other ninja villages, after all, they were neutral at all times, and there was not much value in penetration, and many of their samurai were trained to be loyal to other countries, but they attached great importance to another thing."

"What's that?"

"Physical talent, that is, your physical condition, there were many people who participated in the selection with me and passed the primary selection back then, and less than one-tenth of those who passed in the end, and I was one of those who were eliminated."

"Huh? To put it this way..."

Before Chiba's eyes lit up, Natsuki hit him hard again.

"But this seems like the easiest one, but in my opinion it may be the hardest for you."

"Why?"

Chiba was slightly stunned, and suddenly reacted to something.

"Is it because of my body?"

"That's right, to be honest, your physical condition is not only not excellent or even poor in my opinion, I'm not saying that you are poor because of malnutrition, but your physical talent itself is insufficient, and you haven't exercised much since you were a child, if you go to the selection, it's likely that you won't even be able to pass the primary selection, so..."

Natsuki gently placed his hand on Chiba's shoulder.

"Give it up, it may be cruel to say that, but it's clear... The chances of you wanting to become a ninja are very slim. ”

Before Chiba could argue anything, Natsuki whispered again, "And that's not all, even if you can finally learn Chakra, what can you do?" ”

"As far as I know, the best age to learn chakra is under the age of ten, and even if you can learn chakra at any age, the improvement you can bring is probably limited."

"In your case, you are not talented enough, and even if you finally learn Chakra, it is very likely that you will only be a shinobi for the rest of your life."

"And if you are involved in such a brutal battle as a shinobi, what do you think your chances of survival will be?"

Chiba silently lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.

Natsuki's simple words easily shattered all of Chiba's illusions.

In such a world where ninjutsu knowledge is completely monopolized by ninja villages, a civilian like him, who is still a civilian from a small country and is not very talented, has been completely sentenced to death on the road of learning ninjutsu almost from the beginning.

Looking at Chiba, who was a little depressed, Xia Mu was slightly unbearable.

He also came from that state back then, and of course he could understand the cruelty of his dreams shattered.

It's just that in Xia Mu's opinion, no matter how cruel it is, it's better than letting him blindly go down a road of no return.

Gently patting Chiba on the shoulder, Xia Mu comforted: "It's nothing if you can't learn ninjutsu, follow me to learn some simple skills, which is enough for you to deal with ordinary people, and then learn a little craft, and find a remote place in the future, it is also a good choice to live a life in peace, you think about it yourself." ”

With that, Natsuki turned and walked towards his tent.

Silently looking at Natsuki's back, Chiba clenched his fists tightly.

"Could it be that ... I really have to give up..."
