Three years later.

"Teacher, do you think my monkey mask is cute?"

Masahiko looked at Iko with a confused look and gestured with the monkey mask on her face.

It may be that the clan has been too stable in recent years, and there are more and more children in the clan, and somehow, the mask is liked by more and more children, and just today, the first mask festival was held in the clan.

"Teacher......" Seeing Masahiko distracted, Iko shouted dissatisfied.

"Oh, good-looking, good-looking...... What about the two of them? Masahiko came back to his senses and asked about the whereabouts of the other two students.

"Jing Tong is still cultivating, so he won't come." Iko pouted, "Sister Nanako is also choosing a mask......"

Masahiko nodded in understanding.

In the past three years, Jing Hitomi has been the most satisfying student for him. It may be that the self-limited cultivation method is really useful, or it may be that his physical talent is really high, and the 11-year-old Jing Hitomi has reached the level of upper forbearance in physical arts, and sometimes Masahiko practices with him, and if he is not serious, he may be a little ugly.

Masahiko sometimes wanted to use self-limitation to cultivate, but in the end he gave up. Because he felt that Jing Hitomi was developing in the direction of Kai and Xiao Li......

As for Yizi, at the age of 9, she feels no different from three years ago, and she still doesn't look like she has grown up. Occasionally, Masahiko feels like he has raised a daughter. The learning talent of ninjutsu is terrifying, not only has the speed of sealing caught up with Masahiko, but the wind escape and fire escape below the B level that were taught to her have all been learned, and Masahiko plans to teach her the Spiral Pill series after a while. As long as she grows up and the amount of chakra is larger, she will become a ninjutsu turret in the true sense of the word.

Last student......

"Teacher, I'm here, let's see if my mask is handsome!" As soon as Masahiko thought of this, Nanako's shouts came.

Masahiko looked up helplessly, Nanako has revealed her true nature after being completely familiar with the three of them in the past few years. Usually polite, the virtuous appearance of a small jasper, occasionally shows a big grinning side of the character, or a pungent side. Masahiko suspects that she has the same personality as Sakura.

Just look at the mask she chose, which girl would choose a mask of death.

Wait a minute...... Mask of Death?

Masahiko's face changed, he carefully looked at Nanako's mask, and said, "Nanako, the mask is good, show me." ”

"Teacher, you didn't even look at my mask......" Yizi on the side said dissatisfiedly.

Masahiko ignored it, took the mask handed over by Nanako, and after carefully examining it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it just a similar look?" Masahiko muttered, not finding any death in the mask. "But why Nanako?"

Masahiko is still a little concerned, because Nanako's learning of sealing techniques has made rapid progress in the past three years, and it is not surprising if she can develop the ghoul seal Masahiko one day in the future.

"Let's pay attention to it a little bit......" Masahiko returned the mask to Nanako, turning his head to look at Iko, who could hang an oil bottle with a pouting mouth.

"Iko, show me the monkey mask."

Taking the monkey mask handed over by Iko, Masahiko took a look at it and put it on his face.

"Teacher, you look like a monkey!" Iko opened her mouth happily.

Masahiko's face darkened and he handed the mask back.

"I'm probably a monkey sent to tease......"

Regardless of whether the two students understood this stalk, Masahiko continued to speak, "Let's go, let's go shopping for the mask festival together." ”

I took two students to the clan market, and all the goods that were on weekdays were replaced with masks today.

Animal masks, character masks, and death masks......

Masahiko has little interest in animal masks, which are suitable for children. Character Mask ......

"Hell, how can there be a mask modeled after me? It's still funny. ”

Masahiko's eyes widened and he looked at the stall owner, his face darkened.

"Isn't this the original second elder of our Vortex Clan? Didn't you say that you went home to retire, how did you sell masks? "The stall owner is none other than Uzumaki Zhenghong, the former second elder of the Vortex clan.

"Masahiko," Masahiro Uzumaki glanced at Masahiko with a smile, "In the past few years, I have nothing to do, so I made a few masks, and my grandson doesn't like it very much, so I can only take them out and sell them." ”

"How old is your grandson? I don't like masks, but the kids like them......" Masahiko said in confusion.

"My grandson is 11 years old...... But all day long I only know how to cultivate. Uzumaki Masahiro paused and said with a smile.

Masahiko's face darkened, "Your grandson, it won't be Hitomi Jing." Seeing Uzumaki Zhenghong nodded, "You really dare to let me teach your grandson, we had some grievances in the past, right......?"

"It's been nearly 50 years, and I don't care about the past grievances for a long time, and I believe you too. And after Kaguya's battle, I'm sure you're the most suitable person to be Hitomi-sensei. Uzumaki said.

"I've let go of my old grudges," Masahiko said, "but we have a new grudge, and you've violated my image rights." ”

"What right?"

"Portrait rights!" Masahiko pointed to the mask, said no more, and turned his head to leave with the two students.

"Teacher, wait a minute!" Nanako interrupted.

Ten minutes later, Masahiko watched helplessly as Nanako put on the "Masahiko mask".

"Alas, the legal awareness of these clansmen is too weak, and in the future, Konoha will be established between the pillars, and he must be reminded to strengthen the construction of the villagers' legal awareness!" Masahiko shook his head, muttering something that no one could understand.

"Teacher, this is where I bought the mask!" Nanako's words interrupted Masahiko's thoughts, and Masahiko looked up, and various death masks came into view.

Walking to the front of the stall, the stall owner enthusiastically said, "Welcome Masahiko-sama!" Is there anything you need? Seeing Nanako behind Masahiko, she was stunned for a moment, "Does this little girl want another style of Death Mask?" You had such a good eye before, and you bought the only kind of reaper mask that wasn't the same......"

Nanako heard the compliment and wanted to step forward excitedly, but was stopped by Masahiko.

"The only one? Not the same? Why was only one of these masks made? Masahiko spoke suspiciously.

"Well, I didn't actually make that mask." The stall owner said, "I made all the other masks myself, but I turned it out of the clutter at home. This mask still looks new, so I took it out and sold it by the way. Maybe it could have been passed down from my ancestors, and I'd lose a lot of money......"

"Speaking of my ancestors, I used to be a big man in the Land of Fire......

"Okay, I got it." Masahiko interrupted the stall owner's rambling and said, "Iko, Nanako, let's go back." ”

"I can't say, this mask is really left by the big guy......"
