~~~~~~~~~~
Fifteen minutes later, Naruto Uzumaki regained his full physical strength and chakra and exhausted spirit under the miraculous energy crystal. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ahh
"That's a lot of money, and it's good to have what you have. The oil girl Zhizun refused mercilessly.
"But if you can behave today, maybe you will have a chance to get it yourself!" Seeing that Naruto Uzumaki was still unrelenting, the oil girl Shizun said seductively.
"Really. Naruto Uzumaki said in surprise.
"Hmm. Oil Girl Zhizun nodded and said, "Time is not short, let's go!"
"Yes. Naruto Uzumaki replied excitedly.
Da da da ~~~~~~
After five minutes, the two of them went straight to a deep forest area behind the village in Konoha Village.
"Big brother, where is this!" As a member of the group who has been strictly guarded since childhood, Naruto Uzumaki excitedly and wantonly looked at anything and scenery in front of him that he had never seen before.
"Trial Forest" Oil Girl Zhizun replied lightly.
"Ahh
"Didn't you say I'll open your eyes? After speaking, the oil girl Zhizun took the lead and walked towards the open door in front of her.
Seeing the figure of the oil girl Shizun, Naruto Uzumaki didn't think much about it although he was puzzled, and immediately stepped forward to follow.
The Trial Forest is a huge forest trial ground that originally existed in Konoha Village, and it was generally used as a large-scale ninja assessment in the village in the past, during which countless forest beasts lived in it.
Six years ago, because of the invasion of the evil gods of the other world, the continent was filled with demonic qi, and countless fierce beasts, fierce beasts, and spirit beasts were infected by the demonic qi and became even more terrifying and ferocious demonic creatures.
And the already vast Trial Forest was also occupied by countless demonic creatures because it didn't receive much attention at the time.
By the time the village noticed the change, it was too late, and the huge demonic creatures had formed a terrifying army in the deep forest.
"Your father's four generations of Kazekage died in that war. Feeling the footsteps of Naruto Uzumaki keeping up, the oil girl Shizun immediately gave a brief introduction.
"Father, I died here. Naruto Uzumaki, who only knew that his father had died in battle, was stunned and said.
"Well, they see that you are still young, and they may not have told you, but your father died in this forest, in order to protect the weak villagers so that they could have time to retreat, he led the front line to desperately block the wave of terrifying demonic creatures, and finally died here. Oil Girl Zhizun said affirmatively.
"How could it be, how could something like that happen in your own village?" Suddenly hearing that the father he admired was actually killed in battle not far from his own life, Naruto Uzumaki was a little difficult to control for a while.
This fact really tells us that in today's dangerous world, if we don't have enough strength to protect ourselves, it is not a very unusual thing to be killed by demonized creatures in our own homes, so we young people are not allowed to go there except for relatively safe homes and collective kindergartens before we have mastered a certain strength. The oil girl Zhizun said.
Hearing this, wiping a little sparkle in his eyes, Naruto Uzumaki suppressed his emotional sustenance for his father, and asked in a low voice, "Does that have anything to do with bringing me here today?"
"Well, wait a minute, I have an acquaintance who is going to complete the trial ritual today to prove that he has become a teenager who needs no protection. Oil Girl Zhizun said calmly.
"Ahh
In today's world, because of the dangers everywhere, people's perception of children has become completely straightforward and simple.
The first is that children who have no power to protect themselves need to be protected for the time being and nurtured to grow, and there is no freedom to speak of other than growth.
The second type is that teenagers with a certain ability to protect themselves are given a certain amount of freedom and a certain amount of information to share. At least in Konoha Village, as long as you don't leave the village, teenagers are still very free.
The third is that he has proven that he already has the ability to hunt demons, that is, he has used the power of an adult to have the qualifications to leave the village and go to the outside world.
And these three, not to mention the first, the second and third are all those who want to be assessed and tested, and their assessment ensures that every reserve talent who can grow up is genuine.
After all, demonized creatures don't intercede with anyone, and being a little weaker on the battlefield is a direct fatal act, and no one wants to be sent to death, and no one wants to be dragged down by a waste.
In this case, no matter what kind of assessment can be applied for in advance, it is a genius who has full confidence in himself, and most of them can pass in that situation, after all, no one likes to humiliate themselves.
Therefore, during this time period when the assessment was not arranged, I heard that someone had applied for the assessment, and even if the news was closed, Naruto Uzumaki knew that it must be an assessment that was applied for in advance.
"Well, it's the one year older than us. As he spoke, Shizun the Oil Maiden had already led Naruto Uzumaki to the entrance of the forest.
Looking up at the mechanical time clock on the door, Shizun of the Oil Girl stepped in with Naruto Uzumaki, who had been stimulated by the long-known trial assessment that he was about to see for a long time, and had temporarily forgotten his sorrow just now.
"Da ~~~~~~~~~~~" crisp footsteps walked in the passage at the entrance of the forest, during which someone looked at the oil girl Shizun and Naruto Uzumaki from time to time, after all, in a group of teenagers, two short figures like toddlers naturally attracted countless eyes.
But curiosity is curiosity, but no one came up to say anything, first, because although no one has ever seen the shorter yellow-haired child, the figure of the oil girl Zhizun has been seen by many people, and even the name of his genius has been mentioned by many people, and the swaggering behavior of the two also makes others think that it is an approved behavior.
After all, everyone knows that since the demonization tide broke out in his village six years ago, the already weak Konoha Village sacrificed a Hokage again, and the three generations of Hokage who returned to power have carried out the work of dark supervision in Konoha Village under the consultation with the temple priest.
The first is to keep an eye on the demonized creatures that may appear at any time, and the second is to ensure the implementation of the child protection program, and it is this ubiquitous shadow that ensures that every child in Konoha Village will be protected.
"If I hadn't been approved, I would have been caught in the shadows and sent back to kindergarten a long time ago. Looking at the swaggering figures of the two beans, everyone thought so.
And the oil girl Shizun, who walked briskly with Naruto Uzumaki, naturally didn't know the mental activities of other people, and he was used to being watched, so he directly took Naruto Uzumaki, who was a little bumpy because of everyone's gaze, and walked directly to the place that had been determined at the beginning.
Not long after, with the sound of the rusty iron door opening, the oil girl Shizun led Naruto Uzumaki to an open field that was quite remote from the forest gate.
I saw that the field inside the door was about a kilometer long and about six or seven hundred meters wide, and there was really nothing on it except for the uneven ground.
Except for a watermelon head sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"Ahh
It is the orphan "Li" who is one year older, nicknamed the watermelon head who will never fall to the ground ~ Xiao Li.
"Ahh
"Damn, if it weren't for this guy's willpower being strong enough to support my experimental training, and for the sake of a little luck on his body, Lao Tzu really didn't want to get too close to him. Looking at Xiao Li, who was in tears, as if he would pounce at any time, the oil girl Zhizun stopped and said with a slight twitch in her heart.
However, in the end, it has not been faced many times, and the oil girl Zhizun only waited for Xiao Li's initial momentum to pass, and then naturally continued to walk over.
The interval was so short that even Naruto Uzumaki, who was following him, didn't notice the momentary pause.
"Ahh
"And when did you guys bow down to the big brother?"
"When did you get to the docks, do you know, I'm the first horse! Naruto Uzumaki said dissatisfied.
"Uh, this. Faced with Naruto Uzumaki's repeated questions, the stupidest Xiao Li immediately hesitated and was speechless.
There was a "snap", but it was the oil girl Zhizun who saw Xiao Li's embarrassment, and immediately gave Naruto a slap and said, "Where did you learn the mess." ”
"Oops!" Naruto Uzumaki touched his head and said aggrievedly, "Didn't you say that worshipping the eldest brother was sacred? ”
"As the first pony, shouldn't I also be worshiped by the younger brother behind?" Naruto Uzumaki whispered, "Aren't they all in the novels, why did you beat me?"
Although Naruto Uzumaki was whispering to himself, with the strength of the oil girl and the distance between the two of them being so close, his self-talk fell into the ears of the oil girl Shizun one by one.
But this kind of thing, how could the oil girl Zhizun tell the truth!
As early as the place of reincarnation, the oil girl Zhizun knew that to seize a person's luck, in addition to killing the other party directly, it was to directly rob the other party of all the opportunities and benefits.
But in fact, in addition to these two points, there are many ways to share a certain amount of luck although the effect is not great.
One of the best ways is to become an enemy or a very important friend with the lucky one, and of course the best choice is to conquer the lucky one, so there is the ritual of worshipping the dock in the first place.
You must know that the pier worship ceremony arranged by the oil girl Shizun for Naruto Uzumaki was very solemn and cumbersome, and it took two people a week to practice just to make the ceremony perfect and not go wrong (mainly Naruto Uzumaki)
The reason for this is entirely because the so-called sacred vow ceremony is not a ceremony to worship the pier at all, but a dedication ceremony specially designed by the oil girl Zhizun to seize luck.
The only function of the ritual is to allow one of the parties to automatically transport a certain amount of their fortune to the other party before they completely hate the other party in their hearts, and the purpose of the ritual is to inform the heaven and earth of this contract, telling the heaven and earth that it was given to the other party voluntarily, so that the heaven and the earth will automatically complete it.
Otherwise, there is such a nihilistic thing as luck, where you can give it in a word.
"Shut up, it's okay to practice more, read less bad novels, and read the genuine ones if you want to read them. The oil girl Zhizun continued to scold. (Ya, if you let you know that I opened the genuine bookstore, I don't think you would dare to read pirated copies.) I can't kill you. )
In order to collect the changes in the situation in this world more openly, the oil girl Zhizun instructed the dead man who pretended to be his parents to open the only genuine bookstore in Konoha Village, selling prose novels, cultivation notes, and various rumored story books from the outside world.
Looking at the noisy two people in front of him, Xiao Li, who had been lonely, felt a warmth that surged into his heart, which was the bond between real partners.
Although the other little beans in the kindergarten did not bully him, they were just playmates. As an orphan, Xiao Li has already felt the coldness under this cruel world.
Especially after going to school last year to learn Chakra Yuan Qi cultivation, Xiao Li, who was diagnosed as inherently difficult to control and use Chakra, felt the coldness of reality in his playmates who had gradually grown up, although there was sporadic warmth, but more of it was the despair brought by countless direct words.
For Xiao Li, it would be unbearable for him to live in a few small circles for the rest of his life like those ordinary uncles and aunts, not to mention that he was inspired to become a powerful Yuan Xiu!
The eldest brother who should give him hope for a new life, the oil girl Zhizun, is definitely the most important and respected person in Xiao Li's heart, and the person who gets along well with the person he respects is naturally a good person.
Naruto Uzumaki, who didn't know that he had received the Good Guy Card, covered his head and pointed at Xiao Li aggrievedly and said, "Didn't you come to see the trial assessment?
"Well, the examiner should have gone to prepare the assessment materials. Without waiting for Xiao Li to speak, the oil girl Zhizun spoke: "For those who apply for trial assessment by themselves like this, the general assessment materials are usually prepared by the examiner temporarily. ”
"Well, well, Examiner Mike just went to find the preparation materials. Xiao Li nodded and said.
"What are the assessment materials!, and temporary preparations, don't we hold a large-scale trial assessment in our village every year?" Naruto Uzumaki said, "I even have to prepare temporarily." ”
