Chapter Seventy-Three: Little Lotus Shows Its Sharp Corners
"So, there are three more people in the village, right?" Tsunade took my report and looked at me quietly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Yes. All three children have good strength and are willing to use their brains. Moreover, they seem to have their own strengths~"
"Okay, don't look at me like that, I know what you mean! You want to ask me, why are they in the same class? In fact, I have also considered whether it will be easier for them to integrate into a whole with other children, but that may be counterproductive, making them have low self-esteem or self-respect! However, if I leave it to you, you can rest assured, because, compared to those of us who have an innate sense of attachment and mission to the village, I am afraid that you know better why we want to inherit the will of Konoha Fire and what its value and significance are! I hope you can teach them these things. ā
Is that so? Tsunade seems to have confidence in me.
I learned a little about the backgrounds of the two students.
It turned out that the land of lakes and the country of incense were originally small independent countries, but after decades of war, they were on the verge of extinction, and finally had to become a vassal state of the land of fire, and their princes and princesses were sent to the daimyo of the country of fire as hostages, and Soma and Kako, who originally grew up with the prince and princess, were guards and attendants, so it can be said that they were trained as ministers since childhood.
Well, it's no wonder that one of them is good at swordsmanship, and the other is accustomed to incense, which is a common technique used by samurai and ronin.
"Did their parents and family come together?"
"Where are the parents and family...... All died fighting to protect their daimyo! ā
Again......
"Then these two children are also very pitiful~"
"Well, for them, it is their greatest wish to inherit their parents' legacy, work hard to make themselves stronger, and return to China in the future to protect the little prince and princess who will inherit the throne of the daimyo!"
Suddenly woke up, the meaning of the third class, is it a discarded chess piece? In such a situation, it is impossible to be sent to the battlefield! So, Tsunade......
Ignoring my questioning eyes, Tsunade said casually, "Then, starting tomorrow, let's bring them to take over the mission, the career of a ninja has officially begun, and they must be looking forward to it!" Aha! ā
Reluctantly, he walked out of the Hokage Mansion, only to see Kakashi standing outside.
"It's said that you're starting to take the shinobi too, right? If I'm not mistaken, Aoi should be under you, right? ā
The white hair was fluttering, and the sun was behind him, making the whole person glow.
I suddenly felt so tired, this man was so far away from me, he was already working so hard, and he still couldn't catch up.
Just because, I'm not from Konoha?
"Yes, he's great, and the three kids are great." ā
Kakashi was curious, "What's wrong with Yoyo?" The listless look doesn't look like you! ā
I felt a little bleak for a while. "So, Kakashi, what kind of person am I in your eyes?"
"Ah~ Suddenly asked this question, it's really, it's hard to answer!" Kakashi smiled, but no matter how you look at it, the smile was a little reluctant.
"Roughly speaking, he is a person with perseverance and perseverance!" After thinking for a while, he came to such a conclusion.
"Finished?"
"It's over."
It's not a bad review, but it's ...... It seems to be the kind of popular comment that applies to everyone.
smiled wryly, "Thank you~"
After taking two steps, I heard someone behind me shouting, "Wait! ā
Stop, ear on.
"I almost forgot, celebrating Aoi becoming a shinobi, I want to have a meal with him, can you come along?"
It was supposed to go, but ......
"I'm sorry, I think it's not good to be too close to Aoi alone when I just became their teacher, and it will break the hearts of the other two children. Please help me say to Aoi that another day, invite the three of them to eat together. ā
Those two children seem to need more love!
"Ah, that's what I said, then, goodbye~"
In the following days, I'm repeating the original ninja career.,But,Now I'm leading the class.,Of course, I won't show any complaints.,And the three little ones are also very good at these farm work.,Needless to say, Aoi needless to say.,When I was in the country of the forest before.,During the busy farming hours, I would often help the villages on the side to harvest the crops.,How about Soma and Kako?
"In a small country like ours, when there is a shortage of manpower, the guards often have to go to the vegetable garden of the palace to help!"
On this day, after the day's work, I returned to the village and let the three elementary schools disband.
"Yes! See you tomorrow, Yoyo-sensei, Soma, Kako! ā
Soma and Kako didn't leave.
"Huh, what's wrong? Can I help you? ā
The two of them waited for a long time, and finally spoke, "Yes, there are some things I want to say to the teacher." ā
"Oh? Go ahead. ā
"Here, it's not okay, can you ask the teacher to go to the training ground with us?" I'm looking forward to it.
Anyway, if you are alone, you can go anywhere~
The three of them came to the training ground together. "So, it should be okay now, right?"
"Well, that's because, we feel that we are still too weak, but the knowledge imparted in the school cannot be further advanced, and we have no family support, so we can only rely on ourselves to study the scrolls that have been passed down, and what we have learned is limited, I hope that we can be taught by the teacher!"
That's true.,In this era,There's no ninja graduate school or anything like that to take the exam.,Basically,If you want to further your studies.,Either rely on family secrets.,Or rely on your own development.,Again,You can only rely on the teacher's word of mouth.ć
However, speaking of teachers, I'm just their chief now, and only Jiraiya to Naruto and Tsunade to Sakura like that is the real master-apprentice relationship, and they will also teach their own stunts, if they think so......
"No, it's not that kind of requirement, and now we don't have the luxury of becoming the teacher's personal disciples!" Er Xiao seemed to see my thoughts, "It's just, I hope you can take a look at it and give us some advice when we train!" ā
"Yay?"
"Yes, we have always had it, and we are here to practice self-discipline!"
Sure enough, the countless holes and knife marks on the trunk of the tree that was used as a target and an imaginary enemy showed that this was not a day's work.
"Ho ho ~ As a teacher, I have the responsibility to teach, I was negligent in the past, and in the future, I will be more attentive! So, from now on, show me the walkthrough! ā
"Yes!" When Erxiao heard this, he immediately began to practice.
Actually, what I want to say is that at present, I am not qualified to accept disciples at all!
Finally, a month later, I was looking forward to a slightly more interesting task.
Miura, the owner of the cloth shop in the village, had been importing all kinds of cloth from the Sense family until then, but recently, because of a chance, he learned about the indigo dye formula and could dye the blue cloth by himself, but because he still needed to import other colors of cloth, he had no choice but to reach an agreement with the Sense family, and he couldn't use the formula in his hand freely, let alone use it for profit. However, the Qianse family's high-priced monopoly of the dye formula and cloth market has long been criticized in the industry, so some people continue to encourage Miura to make the formula in his hands public and break the monopoly of the Qianse family, and a week later, a guild will be held to discuss this matter.
Miura really didn't want to get involved in such a dispute, but after all, it was related to the future of his shop, so he could only take a step at a time, but on the way to participate in the public meeting, he was afraid that he would be intercepted by the Qianse family, so he asked the ninja in the village to protect him.
"This is the first C-class mission! Behave well, everyone! ā
"Yes!"
With ninjas by his side, Miura was very relieved, chatting with everyone along the way, and having fun.
However, I don't dare to let my guard down at all, compared to Kakashi and Azuki, who have fought bloody battles and experienced death before growing up, I'm a special shinobi, and I'm still a rookie in many ways, especially, there are three more vegetable shinobi around me and an ordinary person to take care of.
Seeing that there was still a day to go before the guild's destination, on this day, we arrived at a town where we could take a short rest.
Look at Miura's tired appearance, or follow the old rules, settle him in the hotel first, and then go out with Kako to buy food!
As soon as he entered the hotel, a person stood up at the tea party and shouted in surprise:
"Miura-senpai, is it Miura-senpai?"
Miura looked back in surprise, "Uh~ Do we know each other?" I'm really sorry, but I see that you are more faceless~"
"Well, let me introduce myself, I'm Yingji, and you shouldn't know me, because I was just an apprentice when we first met! Now, I'm the shopkeeper of the Nanhejia clothing store! The man said respectfully.
"Oh? That's right, it's rude! So, Tojo, is he okay? ā
"Yes. Thanks to you, our big boss is in good health and full of children and grandchildren! ā
"Please help me bring his greetings when you turn around~"
"Yes, I'll definitely help you bring it! So, Miura's seniors came this time for the guild meeting, right? ā
Miura frowned, "It's a very troublesome thing, but it seems that I can't help myself~"
"Me too, as a representative of the Nanhe family, I came to participate in the public meeting, I wonder if the seniors can reveal their thoughts to me in advance?" Yingji had an eager expression.
I tugged at Miura's clothes from behind, and he nodded his head unnoticed, worthy of being a businessman who has been a businessman for decades, his mind turned faster than anyone else, and he quietly began to interrogate Yingji's information, but the other party is also a watertight figure, except for the person who can be sure that it is sent by the Nanhe family, there is no way to know their attitude towards the public discussion.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and finally went upstairs to rest.
As soon as she entered the guest room, Kako couldn't wait to say, "Teacher, Uncle Miura, that Yingji, there's a problem!" ā
"Oh? How? "Although I also have a hazy feeling, I can't be as sure as Kako.
"He has nothing to do with Nanhe clothing store at all! It's a pretending shopkeeper! ā
"Oh, no!" Miura put forward a negative opinion. "He knows the situation of Nanhe's family well, and even remembers the events of more than ten years ago clearly, how could it be fake?"
"There are many ways to get information, but there are some things that you can't pretend to come by no matter what!"
Hmm~ I nodded.
"So, tell me more about it." Miura requested.
"Yes. Whether it is a cloth or clothing operator, because of years of staying in the store, there will be a special smell on the body that cannot be completely removed even by bathing, that is, the smell of dye; Pure natural dyes will have the fragrance of flowers and plants, and the dye mixed with chemical agents smells very pungent, and the taste of cloth of different colors and textures will be different, because the smell is very complicated, some shop owners will take the method of incense in the store to cover up or neutralize, so as not to make customers have an unpleasant feeling, therefore, usually from the smell of a person can judge the type and grade of his shop, just like Uncle Miura, your body, will exude a mixture of musk and mugwort. However, from Hideki's body, I didn't smell any aroma, as the shopkeeper of a clothing store, and it is said that it was impossible for someone who was apprenticed to the Nanhe family more than ten years ago! ā
After Kako's tirade, Miura nodded repeatedly.
As a retainer for generations, the Kako family has taken one of Japan's three major skills, "incense", to the extreme, and combined with ninjutsu, it can produce a variety of wonderful effects.
In fact, ninjas also have their own so-called "incense way", that is, with the help of the mysterious power of fragrance, calm the mind, highly concentrate, and transcend the five senses; In addition, ninjas also need to learn to use fragrance as a kind of information to refer to and judge, but with my experience, it is not up to that level, but Kako has been trained to be familiar with various aromas since she was a child, and she should not be wrong about what she said.
