Chapter 256: Favor
The strong winds fueled the rain and raged for most of the night, washing the village from the inside out.
It wasn't until dawn that it gradually stopped.
In the morning, the villagers who opened their doors were pleasantly surprised to breathe in the moist air that was slightly cool, and the topic of greeting between neighbors was basically related to the storm that they rarely saw a few times in their lives.
After a night's rest, the Konoha ninjas were almost recovered.
What is surprising is that Kurama Yakumo, who originally thought that he was not in good health and would most likely not be able to adapt to the environment of the Land of Wind, actually got up earlier than the others.
Yawning prostally, Iruka Umino thought she was the first to wake up, but as soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Kurama-sensei sitting by the window in the reception hall, holding a sketchpad in her hand, and was drawing the scenery outside the window.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, after making sure that he was right, Umino Iruka cheered up and walked over without hurrying, greeting politely.
"It's really early, Kurama-sensei!"
"Just call me Yakumo......"
The girl who was painting didn't look back, and said in a flat tone,
"I'm actually not much interested in being a painting teacher at a ninja school.,I was going to be a ninja.,Sunset Red Teacher said that he wanted me to try to be a teacher first......"
"Haha......"
Umino Iruka smiled awkwardly,
"Kurama-sensei is really good at joking......"
"Jokes? If you don't have it, I'll stop doing it when I find the right opportunity......"
"This ......"
Umino Iruka disturbed the back of her head in embarrassment,
"It's really a youthful and energetic idea......
A young man who has made up his mind to be an excellent teacher and train those naughty children to become excellent ninjas, he is not incomprehensible to Kurama Yakumo's decision, but he always feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Even so, it's still rude to call Yakumo directly, in public, let's call you Yakumo-sensei......"
"Whatever you want!"
Kurama Yakumo, who has been delicate and frail since he was a child, rarely interacts with outsiders, and even hires a tutor to guide even ninja practice, so he met Sunset Red, who is good at illusion.
Later, because of the blood inheritance limit, he was locked up for a long time, and there was no one to talk to.
Such a toss, full of Kurama Yakumo, who is full of the style of the deep lady, has the ability to communicate with people, which is not as good as that of Miss Shaya.
Fortunately, after the hidden Ido in the spirit world was eliminated, Kurama Yakumo, who had obtained the right to move freely, also learned a lot of things during this time.
In order to rekindle the hope of becoming a ninja, the girl who had been delayed for a long time made up her mind to make up for the wasted time with her efforts. In these days of remedy, the common sense of normal communication with others is the most important.
"Yakumo-sensei, with your physical condition, it's still difficult to become a ninja......"
Umino Iruka sat down across from Kurama Yakumo and said in a relaxed tone,
"Of course, I'm not trying to persuade Mr. Yakumo to give up, but I just think that the spirit of not giving up even in the face of difficulties and dangers is quite admirable......"
"It's not a ......"
The days of lying alone in a hospital bed and looking out the window are even more difficult, and the mental torture is even more unbearable than physical exertion.
Even Kurama Yakumo, who survived the confinement and killed Ido, the embodiment of anxiety, fear and hatred, has a resolute heart in his weak body.
"Look over there......"
Following the brush that Kurama Yakumo raised, Iruka Umino looked out the window.
"It's a rainbow! I didn't expect such a wonder in the desert......"
Kurama Yakumo nodded lightly:
"The rainbow after the storm is always so magnificent, even in the land of fire, such a beautiful scenery is rare......"
"We just happened to meet us, and we were really lucky......"
Many residents of the Land of the Winds have never seen a few heavy rains in their lives, and rainbows and other miracles that only exist in legends.
"So, I think I've always been lucky, although I don't have much ability, but when I encounter a desperate problem, there is always someone to help me get through it......"
The girl who had already learned about the cause and effect of Ido from her uncle Kurama Yunhai was sincerely glad.
When I was a child, in order to become a ninja, the elders of the family worked hard to invite the most powerful illusion ninja in the village to teach, even if I was carried away by hatred and fear, and indirectly killed some people, including my parents, the family and the village still did not give up on themselves.
At the moment of danger of falling into the darkness, with the help of a sand ninja boy who inexplicably broke into the forbidden place, he cleared the hidden danger of Ido in one fell swoop.
Even if he wants to continue to be a ninja willfully, there are still people who give advice to him and run around.
"Blessed by luck!"
She is really an optimistic and naïve little girl, Iruka sighed in her heart, this little girl is much more optimistic and strong than when she was the same age.
"However, what does this have to do with you coming to Sand Hidden Village, where you can help you become a ninja?"
"I don't know, but I feel like it's going to be useful, so I'm here to ......"
Well, in terms of continuity, Iruka Umino in the same period is also far inferior.
"I hope Mr. Yakumo is doing well......"
"Thank you! My instincts have always been accurate, as long as I have a strong will, even fate will bow to me......"
……
After a leisurely breakfast, Iruka Umino strolled through the less bustling, but somewhat popular, with the map Omaru had prepared for them.
The night of wind and rain has made the ancient town, which seems to be buried by sand and dust, glow with a hint of vitality from the past, and people who usually don't go out much have also taken to the streets, enjoying the joy of a long drought and rain.
"Iruka-sensei, aren't we going to meet the Kazekage? Yesterday was stormy, and it was indeed not convenient for us to visit, so this morning is so leisurely, why not arrange it? ”
While looking at the streets that are very different from the style of Konoha Village, Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
Umino Iruka replied:
"Since the fourth generation of the Wind Shadow was assassinated by Orochimaru half a year ago, the Sand Hidden Village has not selected the fifth generation, and we don't know who to turn to even if we want to visit......
Acting casually, it was mistaken by people with good intentions that it would be troublesome for Konoha Village to meddle in the successor of the leader of Shayin Village.
"Is that okay?"
Sand Hidden Village, which is also one of the five major ninja villages, has been vacant for half a year, which makes the Konoha Shinobi who have never seen this situation startled.
"Therefore, although the Sand Hidden Village has become a lot more peaceful now, it is still a little chaotic, we have to pay attention to it, don't make taboos and cause trouble......
