After Jiraiya left Konoha, he went to the Land of Rain to look for a long time but didn't find the three of Nagato Yahiko and Konan.

Speaking of which, Nagato was the earliest student of Jiraiya, earlier than Mizumon.

The hidden wooden house where Jiraiya taught the three ninjutsu was long since empty. In the damp and rain-rich environment of the Land of Rain, the floor of the wooden house began to rot. Rainwater was blown into the house by the wind through the broken windows, and flowed into streams to the lower floors.

Clumps of brightly colored mushrooms were already growing on the windowsill, and Jiraiya looked up at the leaky ceiling and reached out to wipe the rain dripping on his face, "It seems that everyone has been gone for a long time." ”

Zilai also carefully observed, "The frog cards are all covered, and there is no trace of a fight. ”

"Everyone must have left for some reason."

"Probably, it won't be dangerous."

Jiraiya smiled, he was looking forward to seeing the three little ghosts of Nagato one day.

Not being able to meet his three students, Jiraiya began to continue his journey.

And the three of Nagato Yahiko and Konan, as they continue to grow up in the ninja world full of killing and darkness, the three of them have more and more leader-like personal charm.

On the border of the Land of Rain, Yahiko Konan Nagato and all the forces that can fight secretly gather here from several sub-bases.

Not long ago, Yahiko and the others captured a Konoha ninja while tracking down a looting incident against a boy in the Land of Rain. Later, they received reliable information that Konoha had established a terrifying ninja school in the Land of Fire on the other side of the border.

Danzo uses bloody methods to train the captured teenagers, and make them betray each other and kill each other to select the so-called qualified candidates.

That guy's hand, it's too long. Yahiko's eyes burned with a fire-like light.

There is a saying that is almost the same as truth in the ninja world.

The amount of energy ultimately determines a ninja's achievements.

When it was difficult for his weakness to protect himself, Yahiko regarded the entire rain country as the object of his protection.

The height of Yahiko and Nagato's growth is by no means accidental.

And the ninja army that once led the rain ninja to defeat the major ninja villages and drove the Iwakuin Konoha mist ninja out of the rain country, Sanshoyu Hanzo, who has the name of a demigod and is known as the guardian of the rain country, was drunk when the boys in the rain country were captured. Once known as a demigod, the second ninja to have the name of a god after the Ninja God Senju Pillar, he has gradually lost his strength.

I thought that the war would change the predicament of the country of rain, but after planning for a long time and gathering a large number of wandering ninjas, the rain ninja achieved an unprecedented victory in the second ninja war, but the predicament of the country of rain is still the same. Just like the sky of the Land of Rain, where no sunlight can be seen under the cover of rain, Hanzo Sanshoyu believes that the Land of Rain is a country without the slightest hope.

Some companions took out Konoha's defense post, and when the signal of safety came, one after another came out of the dense forests of the Fire Country, and the little ghosts who looked calm and were generally not very old came out.

They were dressed in black raincoats, and their eyes hidden under their hoods were as pure and cold as the rain in the Land of Rain.

The enemy is the mighty Konoha Shinobi Village? So what?

Even if the teacher comes to stop him, then he must rescue the boys of the Rain Country who have been captured. Yahiko thought.

Yahiko was the last to go, and he made sure that all his companions were not left behind before following the group with a greatsword.

Two hundred companions who can do ninjutsu are probably enough, right?

Yahiko had no experience leading his companions into battle with large-scale ninjas, and he was deeply apprehensive.

……

The world of ninjas is really strange, the country of snow is covered with snow all year round, the country of rain is full of rain, and the country of wind is always accompanied by heat and dryness.

The cold image of the scorpion seems to never come back, he is barefoot, shirtless, and wearing swimming trunks in a pool of water.

Uehara is probably right when he says that ninjas must consider the combat situation in the extreme state.

So what if you don't know how to swim and accidentally fall into the water after the chakra is exhausted?

Or, do your puppets have the ability to fight underwater?

Of course, the scorpion thought about it very seriously, and then he decided to learn swimming skills from Uehara.

You can imagine what the hell is the picture of a cold and cute baby scorpion wearing cartoon swim trunks for a while......

The worm was very envious that the scorpion could have such a big pool to play in the water, but Uehara said that this was for the scorpion to exercise his swimming skills, and he couldn't be disturbed, so the worm only had envy.

The little worm was holding a small cream cake, he was very happy to eat it, and it was all cream, like a cat, "Hey, Scorpion, your birthday cake, I chose the cherry flavor, do you want to eat it?" ”

The scorpion's talent is really good, and it only took long for him to learn breaststroke, and he kicked his legs like a little toad to the edge of the pool.

Spit out the water in his mouth, the scorpion shook his wet hair, he glanced at the cake that had been eaten by the worm, and shook his head in disgust, "I don't want to eat it." ”

The conversation between the two imps, Uehara all heard.

"Hey, Worm," Uehara, who was lying under the parasol, stopped drawing the manga "Koga Ninja Sticker" and beckoned Worm to him.

"What's the deal with the birthday cake?" Uehara was puzzled.

"It's Scorpion's birthday." The little worm whined again, and said vaguely.

"Really, how did you eat the scorpion's birthday cake?" Uehara was speechless.

"I bought it, what if I eat it!" What the worm said was a matter of course.

"It's the scorpion's birthday cake, of course, the scorpion has to divide it, and by the way, blow out the candles." Uehara educates the worms.

"But scorpions don't eat it!" The worm went to get Uehara's juice, but was slapped on the hand by Uehara, and he got angry, "It was the same last year, and my mother asked me to buy the scorpion's birthday cake, but the scorpion ate the cake for me." ”

"Oh, that's right." Uehara smiled, as if he had understood something.

Shouldn't birthdays be the happiest thing for children? Something delicious, a big cake that you can't finish eating, a long-awaited gift, a bunch of playmates, and of course, mom and dad......

The scorpion seems to be very resistant to birthdays and other holidays, as evidenced by his rejection of the birthday cake given to him by Worm.

Chiyo's mother-in-law is also really, can't she prepare a birthday party for the scorpion? It's not as good as the mother of the little worm who has a heart, although in the end, the cake is all eaten by the pig-like worm alone.

Aren't you tired of eating so many sweets?

"Uehara, do you want to eat cake?" Worm handed the plate to Uehara. It's not this guy's kindness, he's probably full.

"Worm, let's go, come with me and order another birthday cake."

As he spoke, Uehara pulled up the worm and was about to leave.

"But I don't want to eat it anymore." The worm was dissatisfied, and he still wanted to take the sparkling juice from Uehara and drink it.

The carbonated drink, which Uehara himself named the depth bomb, has arrived in Shayin Village along with the first batch of special metals from the Wind Demon Clan, and judging from the initial sales, the response is not bad.

After the cold and refreshing carbonated drink is drunk into the body, because of the body temperature, the carbonic acid will be heated and decomposed into carbon dioxide, and the carbon dioxide will take away a lot of heat in the process of excretion to achieve the purpose of cooling, and the efficiency of heat reduction is incomparable to other drinks.

When the clerk asked him if he had any special requirements, Uehara rolled his eyes and whispered in the clerk's ear.

Then, in the surprised eyes of the clerk, Uehara left with the worm in his arms.

"That forehead guard, is it Iwa Shinobi?" The young clerk asked curiously.

"Hey, Uehara, what were you just muttering?" The worm asked curiously.

This little devil owes his mouth so much, and he talks about "this guy" all day long.

Uehara patted the worm's head with his hand, and only begged for mercy when he hit him.

"Little worm, do you know where to sell flowers?" Uehara suddenly stopped and asked.

"Huh? It's hard to find, and there is no flower shop in the village. The worm thought for a moment, "But there are flowers folded with paper." ”

Shayin Village is really hard, Uehara hehe, it's not a funeral, what do you want paper flowers for.

But you don't have to choose, you can make paper.

"Then, you need fruits, lanterns, candles, and good food." Uehara gave a rough estimate of a few things to buy, the most important of which was fruit.

In Shayin Village, there is only one fruit shop, and it sells out in two hours every morning.

Now about two hours have passed, but the store must have stock, how do I buy it? Uehara fell into deep thought.

……

In Chiyo's mother-in-law's office, there was another knock on the door.

"Please come in." Chiyo's mother-in-law was concentrating on carving puppet parts on a whole piece of metal, and the boy from Iwain Village did not exaggerate the facts, the special metals from the Wind Demon clan had various different magical properties, so that Chiyo, a top puppeteer, could not wait to start transforming his puppet.

"Chiyo-ma-ma, there are some things that may trouble you." The worm explained his purpose.

"Is it a scorpion, did he ask you to help tell you something?" Chiyo didn't lift his head.

"It's not a scorpion, it's Uehara." Worm turned his head to look out the door, "It's that he needs Chiyo's mother-in-law's help." ”

It's really unexpected, the teenager in Yanyin Village needs his own help.

Chiyo stopped what he was doing, he looked at Uehara who appeared from the doorway, and said with an expressionless face, "Because of these precious metals, I can help Your Excellency within the limit." ”

"However, if it's about puppetry," Chiyo said, "Your Excellency will be disappointed." ”

Uehara smiled as well, and he closed the office door with his hands behind his back.

"In fact, I would like to learn the red secret technique of the scorpion more than the black secret technique of Chiyo's predecessors."

"What's more, I'm not here for something as boring as puppetry."

"It's for the scorpion."

"Scorpions?" Granny Chiyo frowned, he was a little puzzled.

"It's Scorpion's birthday, and I guess Granny Chiyo must have prepared a birthday party for Scorpion," Uehara smiled, "I want to join in and make the birthday party a little fun." ”

Be...... Is it a birthday for a scorpion?

Chiyo's mother-in-law throbbed in her heart, she forgot about the scorpion's birthday, and being busy was not enough to be a reason, and sure enough, she was negligent of the scorpion's child.

The scene of the scorpion and his parents' puppet clinging to each other resurfaced in his mind, and Chiyo's mother-in-law's heart was once again stabbed.

Uehara knows how to speak, he knows that Granny Chiyo forgot to prepare a birthday party for the scorpion, but he deliberately said that Granny Chiyo was ready and wanted to join in to make the birthday party a little more interesting.

And if Uehara said directly, "Granny Chiyo, today is Scorpion's birthday, you probably forgot, right?" That's right, I'm ready. ”

If that's the case, Uehara will be given out by Chiyo's mother-in-law very politely and directly. Then Granny Chiyo will give an order prohibiting the Iwakuin Imp from traveling in the Shadow Building.

"Chiyo-sama wants to train the scorpion to be the most powerful puppeteer."

"Luckily, Scorpion has a rare talent for puppetry. However, I don't think scorpions should be treated as geniuses. ”

"And you should treat him as a child......"

"That's enough." Granny Chiyo was a little angry, she hated the accusations of this Iwakure boy about his own education methods.

"I didn't stay in Sand Hidden Village for long, but I heard a lot about scorpions." Uehara's face was sincere, "His greatest wish is to see his parents again." ”

With that, Uehara placed a scroll in front of Chiyo's mother-in-law's desk.

"In the Second Ninja War, we captured a Konoha ninja in Iwakuin Village, and I got a very magical secret technique from him, and I can't continue to perform ninjutsu because of my arm."

"I'll leave it to Chiyo-sama."

The secret technique from Konoha is very interesting to Chiyo's mother-in-law.

Ninjutsu knowledge is precious, and for any ninja, the word occult has a lethal attraction.

Granny Chiyo couldn't wait to open the scroll.

It seems that Chiyo's mother-in-law initially agreed to her plan, and Uehara was very happy, "Hey, little worm." "For the coolies that I had, I don't have to use them in vain.

Uehara instructed the insect without any distress, "Let's bring the fruit in." ”

"Huh? Right here? The little worm muttered, "This is Kazekage-sama's office." ”

However, seeing that Chiyo's mother-in-law had no intention of refusing, Xiao Worm had to drag a huge bamboo frame in from outside the aisle.

It was too full, and two apples accidentally rolled out of the frame, and the worms couldn't catch them.

"So much fruit, is there anything I need help with?" It seems that Chiyo's mother-in-law is in a good mood, and she even wants to take the initiative to help with the fruit.

"No, Chiyo-sama, that technique is the most important thing."

"It's been completely mastered."

Chiyo's mother-in-law was just a faint sentence, but it seriously hit Uehara's pitiful self-esteem.

A completely unfamiliar ninjutsu that you can master in less than three minutes? But then I think that Chiyo's mother-in-law is not only a ninja who is in the same era as Shinobi Ape Fei, but also has the same medical ninjutsu as Tsunade. This is a ninja who stands at the top of the pyramid of the ninja world.

"Then, we need to cut the fruit into a platter, and then it will be a trouble for Chiyo-senpai."

So, Uehara handed over the fruit to Chiyo's mother-in-law to deal with.

Pull the worm to deal with other things on your own.
