The wind carried the sand and dust, and the air was so dry that there was not even a trace of moisture, as if it could dry out people's skin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Facing the yellow sand in the sky, four black-robed figures walked forward in the misty desert, it was Ming Yuan, Qianji, Nagato and Kakudu. Except for Fang Jiro, who is on a mission to liaise with resistance organizations in various parts of the Land of Rain, all of the shadow-level powerhouses of the Akatsuki organization have come to the desert where Sand Ninja Village is located.

"In a country like the Land of Rain, where rain continues to rain all year round, I didn't expect there to be a country like the Land of Wind that has little precipitation all year round." Nagato sighed as the invisible ripples unleashed, blocking the sand that was hitting everyone.

Ming Yuan shook his head: "It's different. The fact that the Sand Ninja Village is here is like this, doesn't mean that other parts of the Land of the Wind are like this. “

"In fact, between the two great rivers that run through the Land of Wind, there is the most extensive farming ground in the entire ninja world. The abundant water and nutrients brought down from the upstream make the soil extremely fertile, and the plains are the most suitable land for farming. “

"The largest and tallest mountain range in the ninja world is the source of many major rivers in many countries, including the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain. The difference is that the melting water of the high mountains gave birth to two great rivers that traverse the country and feed almost all of the population of the country of the wind, but the remnants of the huge mountain range surround the country of rain, locking its water vapor and holding it away, like a hand choking the throat of the country of rain. For the land of wind, the mountains are the source of life, and for the land of rain, the mountains are the source of pain, and that's the difference. “

Nagato's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Does this mean that the reason for the constant precipitation in the Land of Rain throughout the year is the mountains that surround it?" “

"Mr. Mingyuan, if you can blow a gap in the mountains so that the water vapor of the Rain Country can pour out, will you be able to make the climate of the Rain Country normal without using a weather controller?"

Ming Yuan smiled: "The truth is such a truth, but this is a big project. It is a mountain range with an average height of more than 5,000 meters and a peak of 8,000 meters! “

"Many powerful ninjas claim to have the power to move mountains and reclaim the sea, but compared to the peaks created by nature, what they bulldoze is just a small lump of dirt."

He said in a joking tone, "If you want to do such a thing by personal force alone, I'm afraid you have to reach the level of the Six Dao Immortals who created the moon back then." Nagato, you still have a long way to go. “

"Well, anyway, let's make sure Ichio can catch it smoothly for now."

……

"Damn!"

A little boy sullenly kicks a stone in the setting sun.

"A bunch of illiterate guys! What! Isn't a puppet that can't fight just rubbish? There is no meaning to exist? Damn, bastards! “

"The puppet I've made is so good, I'm just not willing to fight, just because I'm not a combat puppet, won't I graduate?! Damn, hateful, damnable! “

With his head down, he slowly returned home through the back door, quickly changed his clothes, and walked from the hallway to the front.

The old-fashioned spacious house is separated by a wooden door, with his family's room at the back and a very good restaurant in front of it, which serves the special cuisine of the Sand Ninja Village for many years.

"Hey, Ivan, there are a lot of guests today, come and help!" My father was dressed as a chef and was busy.

Ivan suppressed his frustration and neatly welcomed the guests who entered through the front door.

"Yo, hello boy, there are four of us, please give us a table by the window." A gentle voice rang in Ivan's ears, and he looked up at a very strange face.

It stands to reason that there are not many foreign businessmen at this time, and the current mainstream customers are still from this village. Those regulars Ivan had an impression in his heart, but he had never seen these four people.

The man who spoke to Ivan looked very young, estimated to be less than twenty-five years old, and seemed to have a very gentle personality.

Ivan didn't look too much, it was extremely rude to look at the guests, he quickly brought the four strange guests to the window and made them a full cup of tea.

"Hello guests, please wait if you want to order, I'll go get you the menu now."

The young guest smiled and nodded to Ivan, who was a little flattered that he wasn't having a good day.

Shaking his head, Ivan quickly turned to get the menu, and as he was leaving, he heard the young guest say, "It's been a long time, and I'll relax a little today." It's also my first time in Sand Ninja Village, so I'm going to treat you to a treat and try the special cuisine here, even if it's to recharge your energy. ”

"Sure enough, it's a foreigner." The thought crossed Ivan's mind.

He took the menu and respectfully handed it to the guest, "Hello, the menu is here, there are many dishes that are local specialties, if you have any questions about ordering, you can ask me." “

"I think a few of them look like outsiders, and if you want to taste our special cuisine, I still recommend this flavored barbecue and roast bird's eggs. The price is affordable, and it is the best dish we have here, so there will be absolutely no problem. “

The young guest smiled, "Then it's troublesome, so if you have any other recommended dishes, please tell us about them." “

"Ah, yes." Ivan clearly introduced the dishes to the guest, but a strange feeling welled up in his heart, as if the gentle guest in front of him would greatly change his fate.

……

"Whew, I'm tired, Daddy." Ivan rubbed his sore arm and walked to the kitchen with a stack of tall plates, complaining to his father, "It's a really bleak day, I'm tired at school, and when I come back, I'm catching up with the rush of customers." “

"Hmm." Father nodded, then suddenly something sounded, looked up and asked, "By the way, today is the graduation exam of the ninja school, right?" “

"How's the test? Didn't you always want to be a puppeteer? “

Father's gaze swept around Ivan, but he didn't see the forehead guard that represented graduation and became a ninja, so he was naturally already clear.

"They still won't recognize your puppet, Ivan."

"Maybe the ninja profession isn't for you, you don't like fighting, and you can't make a lethal puppet. Since they won't accept you, then don't force it, inherit the family business. You're very good at studying, and those puppets that are specially used to carry things and wash dishes can not be made in one night, so put your research energy into cooking. Learn how to cook with me, take the puppets first, and in a few years you will become a chef in your own right. “

Ivan was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head a little unwillingly: "But ......"

At this moment, the young guest smiled and knocked on the counter: "Ah, sorry, I didn't know it was so late, and we were left with one table." Check out, boss. ”

Just as he took out his wallet to pay the bill, the young guest looked up at Ivan and smiled, "Don't be discouraged, young man, it's the most gratifying thing to have a different way of thinking from others." “

"If no one appreciates your puppet, can you release it for me to see? I'm interested in them. “
