Chapter 69: Fishing in the Xinchuan River (Part II)
Wow - Wow -
Half-kneeling on the wide river, Zhengdai gently stirred the water with his right hand, his eyes turned, and at one moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out violently.
Syllable!
The water splashed, a few drops hit his face, and he shook his head when he got up, clenching his fist thoughtfully, reminiscing about the feeling of having just touched the fish, but being escaped by the fish.
Harunozhao forbade him to make a simple wooden gun, saying that he had to catch fish alive.
And catching fish empty-handed is really not a simple matter. The surface of the fish is slippery, and it is very responsive in the water, and it swims quickly, even if it is wearing a chakra assist, and after an hour, it only catches three fish.
Each strip is only about a pound in size.
According to one pound and ten taels to hand in the task, his harvest in more than an hour is only thirty taels, which is not as good as the harvest of cooking a meal for the little gluttonous ghost red beans, and it is not worth using the Hokage's common currency to compare.
As for Asma and Red?
Red can't tread water, Asma doesn't step on it very steadily, the two stupid guys help each other, and they are still playing 'Mandarin Duck Playing in the Water' in the shallow water.
And the starfish teacher, out of nowhere, found a bottle of wine, lying on the fork of a tree on the shore and watching the excitement, completely unwilling to help.
"I don't need them." Zhengdai half-knelt on the water again, his eyes blazing.
Catching fish empty-handed is also a kind of practice, exercising eyesight, precision, stability and other abilities, which is enjoying it.
And he's about to find the right feeling.
With his eyes squinting slightly, he locked on to a black fish about 20 centimeters long, and was holding his breath, staring at its swimming trajectory, taking into account factors such as the speed of light refraction and the capture position......
Syllable!
The water exploded, and when the hands that were wearing came out of the water, there was already a pound-heavy black fish in his hands.
The black fish kept struggling, its tail flapping, snapping, and splashing on Zhengdai's body.
Zhengdai didn't care, attached chakra to his hand to prevent the blackfish from getting out, and strode towards the shore.
"I'm wearing it, and I've caught another one." Asma shouted in a whisper, "Wait, give me another hour, and I'll help you." ”
Red stood on the water, trying to speak, but stumbled again, almost fell into the water, shut up and didn't dare to say anything.
Zhengdai replied: "Come on, otherwise our first task after becoming a ninja will have to be completed by me alone." ”
He returned to shore and walked over to the huge half-man-tall plastic bucket he had carried.
It contained half a bucket of river water, and three live fish, which were wearing to give +1 to their companions.
"Such a big bucket, most of the thirty or forty fish are no problem, three buckets, I am really choking on my own. Try to install it, and it's also a problem to put it back if you have too much. ”
Zhengdai turned around and returned, but at this moment, Haruno Zhao suddenly stopped him with a dodge.
"Oh? Four fish, very good, good enough for lunch. Haruno Zhao took out the four prepared wooden thorns, and he made a move.
Four fish died in a string of deaths.
Wearing: ???
What about catching live fish? I finally caught a live fish, if I can kill it, I use kunai, and now there are forty of them!
"Asma, Red, stop practicing! Come here, let's have lunch, one grilled fish per person! ”
Haruno Zhao shouted, and then took out the sealing scrolls from his arms one by one, and unsealed them, salt, oil, cumin, and pepper noodles......
"I'm wearing it, what are you doing in a daze? Go get some firewood. The teacher heard that you cook deliciously, do you know how to grill fish? Try your cooking skills today. ”
……
More than half an hour later.
Haruno Zhao ate the last trace of fish meat left on the fish bones in his hand, and the expression on his face seemed to be reminiscing, and he was confused for a second, and disappeared in an instant.
A few seconds later, he carried a big fish in one hand and dodged back.
I understand what he means.
Asma and Hong, who were holding the fish and eating each other, looked at each other and smiled, if they weren't used to eating Zhengdai's cooking, they would probably have this kind of reaction.
Although they can't catch fish.
After the two fish were grilled and satisfied, Zheng Dai returned to the water and continued the task of catching fish, Asma and Hong also continued to practice treading water, and Haruno Zhao found a shade to sleep, slept until half past three in the afternoon, and woke up naturally.
I looked next to the bucket that belonged to Zhengdai, and more than twenty fish, about thirty catties, filled most of the bucket, and Haruno Zhao was satisfied.
Asma and Red, still zero gains.
Haruno Zhao picked up the two empty buckets and walked towards Zhengdai on the water: "Okay, it's almost time, only Zhengdai has earned three hundred taels of task money today, and the rest of the teachers will catch it." ”
Half-kneeling on the water, Zhengdai got up, and Asma and Red in the shallow water both looked over.
Is Mr. Starfish going to catch fish with his own hands? When he grilled the fish before, he caught it too quickly and suddenly, and the three of them didn't see it at all, and they were all looking forward to it at this time.
Seeing their expressions, Haruno Zhao laughed and said, "Zhengdai, come here, hold on to the two buckets." ”
Zhengdai stepped forward quickly, one bucket in one hand, pressed it on the water, and Haruno Zhao walked forward more than ten meters, turned around, and put his palms together.
"Stand firm! Marrow Swallow - There's a mop in the water! (Water Escape - Waterspout)"
The waves lifted, and the water under Haruno Zhao's feet swirled up like a tornado, enveloping him, and in the tornado current, fish of various sizes were also swept up in it.
Asma and Hong stared in amazement, they didn't see Teacher Starfish's seal, what kind of technique is this? It looks amazing.
Zhengdai was also stunned, the second generation Hokage's special water escape ninjutsu, Haruno Zhao can actually use it...... Can I learn?
Soon, the waterspout crashed down, Haruno turned into an afterimage, and the larger fish was accurately slapped into the bucket that was being pressed.
After more than ten seconds, two barrels were full!
"Haha, look stunned." Haruno Zhao laughed proudly and waved his hand: "One person carries a bucket and goes back to the village!" Or run back, the water in the bucket can't be sprinkled, the fish can't fall, the time limit is forty-five minutes! ”
Mr. Starfish is really inflated, but it's really powerful. Zheng Dai paused and asked, "Can we freely divide more and take less?" ”
"Whatever you want."
The journey back to the village was far more difficult than when they came, and Zhengdai, who had collected more than half of the fish by himself, was also exhausted and panting, and Asma and Hong were sweating profusely.
Back at the entrance of the village, Haruno Zhao clapped his hands, and the seal separated the three shadow clones, and said, "Give the bucket to my shadow clone, today's mission is over!" ”
Asma was stunned: "Teacher, don't we have to hand in the task?" ”
"Hahaha, you thought this was an ordinary task? There is no reason to hire ninjas to catch fish, this is a special task that I have entrusted myself in order to train you. Haruno laughed.
"Now the teacher has to find a way to dispose of these fish, and he has to pay the commission tax and the honorarium of three hundred taels for Zhengdai. Tomorrow morning, we will meet in front of the Hokage Building at eight o'clock! ”
Looking at the backs of Teacher Starfish and the three shadow clones, Hong was stunned, and said with some emotion: "Teacher Starfish is not so deductible." For the sake of our practice, I actually went to issue a commission myself......"
"yes." Asma chimed in.
Zhengdai smiled helplessly: "You two should take the time to go to the seafood market to have a look." Fresh river fish for a pound and ten taels? Fifty taels is about the same! ”
Asma and Red were stunned, staring.
"This ...... He...... We...... Zhengdai, why didn't you debunk Teacher Starfish before? ”
"There's no need, we do get a workout, don't we? It's better than catching cats and farming. ”
“…… That's right, too. ”
So then, the three of them caught fish in the Xinchuan River for more than a month.
