Chapter 155: Innocence
Compared with the hotels that were assigned to many candidates when they took the joint Zhongnin exam, the apartments arranged now are obviously in much better condition.
The location of the apartment is located in the southwest of the center, in the middle of Mingcha Street and Konoha Hospital, less than 200 meters past the southeast corner is the Yamanaka Flower Shop, and due north is the Konoha Village Ninja School.
Daimaru's room is facing the direction of the Hokage House, and if you open the window, you can see the Hokage Rock.
Originally, there were only the first generation of Thousand Hands Pillar, the second generation of Thousand Hands Pillar, the third generation of Ape Flying Sun Chop and the fourth generation of Eye Wave Feng Shui Gate, and now the fifth generation of Tsunade has also started construction.
With Daimaru's ability to observe, you can even see carvers like worker ants busy up and down the ropes.
"It's such a great place!"
The climate is pleasant and the products are abundant, which is completely different from the sandy village of Shayin at a glance.
The sand ninjas who came here again were not too accustomed to the cold and detached eyes of the Konoha villagers, so they stayed in the apartment for the time being.
There is no task, and it is not easy to go out to practice, which is really a bit difficult for the restless sand ninja.
In order to ease everyone's anxiety, Daimaru invited Chi, Yame, Kankuro, Temari, and Iaira over and let them taste the tea ceremony that they had been practicing for a long time.
Anyway, being idle is idle, and everyone didn't refuse, so they gathered in Daimaru's apartment room and watched Daimaru pretend to make tea for everyone.
Fortunately, the apartment arranged this time is large and spacious enough, and it does not seem cramped for six people to sit together.
"Daimaru, why are you obsessed with something like the tea ceremony that doesn't fit your identity?"
Yemu tasted the bitter hot tea, and his face suddenly collapsed.
Or the comforting dessert is more to her liking.
"Personal hobbies, but also practical needs!"
Daimaru smiled slightly.
Mental hidden dangers need to be sorted out slowly with calmness.
Tea is not a panacea, the important thing is the process of drinking tea, so that the impatient Daimaru has the patience to slowly calm down the emotions caused by mental fluctuations.
In the past, Daimaru's spiritual energy was incomplete, but it wasn't mutilated or amnesia or anything, it was more like a self-protection mechanism, and a part of it was temporarily frozen, and it was a truth that adults didn't have memories of infancy.
If there were no special circumstances, who would remember eating, bedwetting, crying and other things so clearly when they were young?
Daimaru is just because of the special situation, and the memories that sink into the depths of his soul with the overflowing spiritual energy are "covered" are far more than ordinary people.
Most of the naughty and bad-tempered characters of childhood are by nature, but there are no reasons for this.
With Daimaru's physical fitness now sixteen years old and approaching adulthood, it is a little difficult to sort out the huge spiritual energy, but it is conceivable that it is not easy for Daimaru to grow up smoothly like a "normal" child.
Omaru with a smile on the corner of his mouth added a little tea for everyone:
"Tea, at the beginning of its birth, was quite simple and elegant! It's just that later, some connotations were artificially forced......"
Qianla pulled the somewhat rude night eyes, and then took a sip reservedly, not knowing whether it was to her liking or not, but smiled on the contrary, not knowing what she was thinking.
The children of the former Wind Shadow family will definitely not be less social, and the tea parties between the nobles must have participated in a lot.
Kankuro picked up the teacup with a broken mouth, closed his eyes, sniffed the smell, and then pursed his lips and tasted it:
"It's the first time I've seen the host's house with this kind of tattered tea set to entertain guests, but the fragrance of tea full of heart is so-so!"
"Young Master Kanjiulang, don't be picky, next time I'll give you tea, but I don't know when I'll get it!"
In Konoha Village in autumn, it was still a little hot during the day, so Daimaru pushed open the window and let the breeze blow in.
Kneeling down with a bow, he took out a pocket three-star fan and fanned himself:
"I'm just curious, aren't you short of money? Although the tea used this time is not a treasure, it should not be cheap......"
"I didn't buy it, I don't need money!"
Daimaru replied with a smile,
"Some time ago, I came across a piece of wild camellia, which looked good, so I picked some!"
"Do it yourself?"
Temari was stunned,
"The craftsmanship is okay, and it's almost enough for small families to make a living from this! You've been a ninja for so many years, you haven't made much money, and you still owe a lot of debts, did you choose the wrong profession? β
"How is that possible? I don't dare to compare my personal interests with other people's ability to eat! It just happened that there was a little bit of a shortage for their own consumption, where could they make a career out of it? β
Daimaru hurriedly waved his hand,
"This tea is not special, but it is fresh, fragrant and long. If you leave it for a long time, it won't work, and the shelf life is too short......"
"After a long time, I thought you were finally generous, it turned out that I couldn't finish drinking it myself, and I was afraid that it would expire, so I took it out and let us taste it......"
Kankuro couldn't help but laugh,
"Obviously it's the captain of the middle ninja, can't you ask us to consume it once?"
"You're saying this too ugly, Kankuro, when have I ever been stingy?"
The dignified "Red Sand" uncle, who has no prestige in the middle of the ninja, is actually blackmailed and treated, which is unbearable!
"Why don't we try the hot springs in Konoha Village at night......"
"You've been thinking about this for a long time! Impatiently stealing the management methods of Konoha Onsen......"
A thousand covered her mouth and snickered,
"Are you sure, though? Don't go back......"
"Words are like water that has been spilled, and it is impossible to take them back! You see, I'm a decent person, don't think of me like a miser! β
Just when a few people were talking and laughing, I love Luo silently, put down the teacup!
"Do you want more?"
Daimaru looked at the already empty teacup, slightly puzzled.
Do you like it that much?
"Refreshing!"
Well, the tail of Shouhe in the body, before a complete reconciliation, has always been a hidden danger to my Airo, which is also the main reason for my Airo's lack of sleep and poor mental state.
Once the energy is low, it is possible to let the escaped Shouhe sneak out and make waves.
In the past, Daimaru always thought that after the death of the previous generation, he directly chose my Airo as a body.
Later, I learned that there were several unsuccessful experiments in the middle, and without exception, all of them were out of control.
I'm not the second one of the tail pillar force, but the second successful one of the tail pillar force, among them, how much sacrifice was paid, and the young Omaru really didn't have any impression at that time.
What kind of mentality did Luo Sha have, making me a victim of this nine deaths and a lifetime, which is really emotional.
Daimaru poured me another large glass and asked with a smile:
"Haven't tried tea before?"
"Nope!"
I love Luo shook his head,
"Yakshamaru says that children are not suitable for tea!"
"Yakshamaru?"
The impression of this person is really ingrained in my Airo's heart.
"It's not wrong to say that, children drink too much tea, and after being excited, they tend to lose their energy, which is really not a good thing for you!"
"That'...... Doesn't it matter now? β
Temari asked with concern.
"Just don't be too strong!"
To be able to achieve perfection before the age of fifteen, in less than two years, my Airo's talent is absolutely undoubted.
Stepping on the right track, it is naturally impossible for him to be affected by some tea drinks.
"Kanjiuro, you go and prepare the tea, you may need it at any time in the future......"
It's rare that I can have a normal hobby.
Usually, I'm in Shayin Village, except for planting some cacti, I haven't seen too many expressions.
"I know, don't shout!"
Kan Jiulang had a troublesome expression on his face, it was no problem to drink tea, serving others to drink tea, the young master of the former Wind Shadow family did not have such skills, let alone like Daimaru, and had the leisure time to make his own tea.
Wouldn't it be nice to have that time to study the puppets!
"Although we are ninjas, fighting is our ability to eat, but we also have to have some hobbies to cultivate our sentiments, otherwise life will be too monotonous!"
"Hobbies? I have it too, and ornamental plants are great! β
Temari looked at the lush trees outside the window, and no matter how you look at it, it is much more pleasing to the eye than in Sand Hidden Village.
Although the cactus that I love to cultivate is also a rare green plant in the desert area, it is far from beautiful.
Daimaru pouted:
"You'd better change to a hobby that suits Sand Hidden Village! Otherwise, it will be very hard in the future......"
"You have to take care of it!"
Temari retorted unceremoniously,
"What do I love, what does it matter to you!"
"This ......"
Daimaru had a bitter face.
"I'm Airo, if you become a wind shadow in the future, you must make the village like Konoha Village, full of birds and flowers!"
"Shayin Village, can you also plant trees?"
I, who was enjoying the aftertaste of the tea, was disturbed by Daimaru's request.
Let him set up a large sand and gravel forest near the village, planting trees?
"Are you sure you're not embarrassing me?"
"If you don't do it, I'll do it myself!"
"Don't talk big! What generations of Kazekage have not dared to think of, do you have a way? β
Temari patted my Airo on the shoulder, and unlike Kankuro, who often turns his elbow out, the youngest brother is really still towards his sister, and he kills Daimaru in seconds as soon as he makes a move.
"It's a little harder......"
Maybe the Ten Tailed Human Pillar Force has the ability to turn the desert into fertile soil, but the key is that there is no water!
To add insult to injury, many parts of the Land of the Winds are not ordinary weathered deserts, and beneath the sand a few meters deep are rocks of almost unfathomable thickness.
Sometimes, after a big sandstorm, some of the original quicksand becomes bare rock, the kind that can't even support cacti.
The land of winds, where water is scarce, is desert except for a few oases formed by natural ground fissures.
"It's not just a little bit harder, Daimaru! Without the wisdom and ability to change the future, it is simply impossible! If it were really that simple, it wouldn't be your turn, so many seniors in Shayin Village would have done it a long time ago! β
"It's hard to say! If I could, wouldn't you ......"
Orochimaru said for a moment, thought about it a little, and hesitated a little!
"What?"
Temari looked at Omaru who wanted to speak suspiciously, and said jokingly,
"If you can do it, you're a great guy, maybe ......"
"No fuss! Just give it a try, and maybe it will work! β
Qian looked strangely at Omaru who inexplicably interrupted Temari's words, and finally made Temari a little excited, obviously he could deceive a promise, why stop it halfway?
The hope of success or failure may lie in the thought of this illusory bet.
"Do you swear by it, and if you make a real move, will you retreat?"
Kankuro chuckled,
"I didn't expect you to be such a big pill!"
β¦β¦
The lights are on.
It's still the vibrant village of Konoha and unlike the village of Shayin, which is dead after nightfall, for some villagers, the night may just be the beginning of the day.
In the hot spring area, which occupies a large part of the hot spring area next to the tea street and the theater, and is called the Rising Sun Tower, the sand ninjas are enjoying the refreshing service that is impossible to experience in the sand hidden village.
I didn't seem to be used to steaming places, so I soaked for a while, took a shower, and after relieving my tiredness, I went to the rest area to wait.
Daimaru and Kankuro were left to lean leisurely on the edge of the hot spring pool, looking up at the moonless sky.
"The stars of Konoha Village are no different from those of Sand Hidden Village!"
Kankuro exhaled a breath of turbidity and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel,
"That's good! I thought you were just talking, but you really had the money to invite us to spend money in such a place! β
"Brother-in-law is not for nothing!"
Daimaru won't tell anyone that since the last time he came to Konoha Village for the middle ninja exam, he has collected a large number of consumption coupons, and six people just soak in the hot springs once, and they didn't spend any money at all.
"You're just playing tricks here, why don't you dare to say it in front of Temari?"
"I'm afraid of being beaten!"
The three-star fan is really hard and heavy, and it hurts to smoke it on the body for a long time, and after tasting it twice, Daimaru doesn't dare.
"I thought you didn't care about getting beaten!"
"Where's the word? It is worth it to be beaten, take advantage of it verbally, and be beaten to the point of back pain, blue nose and swollen face, and you can't draw it! β
"It's hard to say, maybe you still enjoy the feeling of punching Temari with your face!"
"You've learned badly, Kankuro!"
"With you by my side, no one will think I'm bad!"
As long as it is compared, it really seems that Kanjiuro is extremely pure.
"I'm going to have to be there all the time, just in case I ......"
Daimaru smiled,
"Don't talk about it, I'm a little depressed, I'll go out and lie down!"
With that, Omaru got up, put on his bathrobe, walked into the men's lounge area, and lay down on the bench next to Iara!
"Not used to it?"
"It's fine!"
I closed my eyes and replied simply,
"The guy inside me, I don't like it very much!"
"That's really hard!"
Being able to communicate with Ichi-Tail Morizuru, it seems that my Airo's progress is not bad, and there is no need for others to worry about it.
"Next time I have the chance, go to the beach by the sea, maybe it will be better!"
"Hmm!"
It's a lot different from before, but Iara, who still doesn't like to communicate with people, is good to be able to talk to Daimaru.
At this moment, Kankuro, who was drinking a bottle of milk, walked over.
"You're here!"
As he spoke, he sat down on a chair beside Daimaru,
"What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, it's you, drink so much milk, be careful of diarrhea."
"It's okay, it tastes good!"
Gulping down the rest of the bottled milk, the puppet boy sighed contentedly, and then lay down lazily,
"You were in a hurry just now, and you forgot to ask, why didn't you let Temari finish the sentence? If only she had spoken up and said something, we would all be Witnesses, how good it would be......"
"It's the same whether you say it or not!"
Daimaru wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel,
"Me...... Finally confirmed one thing, your eldest sister is really a naΓ―ve princess, and under her fierce appearance, there is such a girl's heart hidden! β
"Is there one? It's a bit like ......."
Kankuro chuckled,
"It's true that your courage is a lot bigger than before, and you dare to blatantly say that the promotion of Zhongnin makes you swell like this?"
"This has nothing to do with Zhongnin, even if it's in person, I dare to say it!"
Kankuro ignored Daimaru's hard words and continued to ask:
"Temari's girlish heart, how do you know?"
"It's been a long time, so let's feel it. She likes ornamental plants, and probably subconsciously thinks that it is what Sand Hidden Village needs most.
Planting trees or anything is just a faΓ§ade, and Temari admires the capable and wise heroes who can bring opportunities for the betterment of the village! Moreover, this seems to be her view of mate selection......"
In a word, this is an innocent girl under the cover of a strong sister, who believes that her future husband is a big hero who can really bring "love and peace".
Although Sasuke Uchiha is handsome and Temari also thinks it is good-looking, a vengeful boy who doesn't know what the heart of love is, is not Temari's dish;
Naruto Uzumaki's immature character who regards the pursuit of girls as a show off and an achievement, Temari is grateful that he can influence Airo, but he does not have a crush on him.
It's a different story with Shikamaru in Nara.
Although Temari's lazy and trouble-prone personality makes Temari a little impatient, his careful and responsible style is still very pleasing; In particular, the almost unmatched IQ, as well as his identity and position, made Temari believe that this was a person who could truly change the future of the ninja world.
calmly and rationally chose Nara Shikamaru, the true meaning behind it is definitely not just because Nara Shikamaru is relatively mature and reliable, if it were just like this, Oromaru would not value that unmotivated boy so much.
Looking for famous characters in the ninja world, among his peers, there is really no one who is more in line with Temari's view of mate selection than Nara Shikamaru.
Kankuro was stunned, and couldn't believe it for a while, Daimaru would actually think like this,
"You're not kidding? That Temari is actually said to be a girl who is obsessed with the dream of a princess? β
"Am I kidding?"
Daimaru replied earnestly.
As a younger brother, Kankuro never thought that the murderous sister had a girl's heart hidden somewhere, and said nonchalantly:
"Dreams are perfect, everyone has them, and that doesn't mean that Temari will really choose a big hero in his mind in the future......"
"Maybe!"
Daimaru said with a smile,
"So, didn't I tell you a while ago that there is no contradiction between achieving oneself and pursuing Temari. There is still a long way to go, and there is more than love in life! It is not impossible for love and career to blossom and gain fame and fortune! β
"You're so greedy! If Temari knew that you were judging her like this behind her back, maybe she would want you to look good! β
Kankuro, who said this, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Just don't let her know!"
"Do you really plan to get ahead and marry Temari in style? It's really unashamed, as if being a hero is as simple as finding a bag! β
"Anyway, I don't reject it, since Temari likes it, let's try it."
Daimaru said as a matter of course,
"I don't want to be a hero, but I want to be a hero in Temari's heart!
Kankuro, you don't understand, satisfying the expectations of the innocent girl's heart of the girl you like is the romance of a mature man! β
"I don't understand!"
Kankuro pursed his lips,
"Instead, I think you two are big idiots!"
No one noticed that a small ferret, with a bugging transmitter, was hiding in the corner and sending the conversation of several people to the next door.
Three young girls are looking weirdly around the eavesdropper.
Originally, Temari just wanted to know what kind of strange things that Daimaru would take the opportunity to say to Airo, but I didn't expect to hear these first.
"That idiot!"
The face is full of shame and the hand is full of shame, and the hand that clenches his fist hard is bruised,
"Later, I must let him taste how heavy the fists of the fierce 'innocent' girl are......"
