Chapter 31: Night on the outskirts of the Land of Rain
The camp of the 13th detachment was not large, but by the time everyone filled in the potholes on the ground, it was already dark.
"Ninja - the art of the earth flow wall!" There was a rumbling sound, and more than a dozen shinobi started the earth flow wall together, and a standard circular wall surrounded all the tents.
If Uehara is asked if he must stipulate that the earth flow wall is circular, Uehara's explanation is that the area of the circle is the largest per unit surrounded by the same circumference, so that the minimum amount of chakra can enclose the camp. On the other hand, a camp of the same size has the smallest circumference of the circular camp, so it is necessary to be on guard for a week, and fewer people are needed. And there are no defensive dead spots in the defensive circle.
"Okay, it's done, everyone has already rested, don't play too late." Uehara said that everyone was playing, everyone was really playing, talking and laughing around the bonfire, eating roasted nuts, if it weren't for the snowflakes that kept drifting too annoyingly, such a bonfire party, Uehara didn't mind staying until dawn. Accidents and tomorrow don't know which will come first, a bonfire of three people, maybe I don't know when a corner will be missing, Uehara cherishes this hard-won calm.
Why do you eat nuts, it's because of such a thing as grilled fish, now even fat people don't like to eat it, three meals a day, eat grilled fish every day, no one can stand it.
Uehara and Spidermaru Sasaki were by a campfire closest to the outside, and they were on night tonight.
"Uehara, what are you painting, it's so dark, can you see it clearly?" Uehara painted something, Sasaki wiped the long knife with one hand, and Spider Maru was bored and sat by the campfire in a daze.
"What are you drawing? Everyone, No. Uehara handed the sketchbook to Spider Maru, and the misty night, the orange bonfire, and the way everyone talked and laughed were also clearly drawn, as if they were not in a time of war, but in a field camp.
"You're so good at drawing, why don't you draw a ...... for me and Yukino together"
"People Xue Nai don't want to stand with you and draw, what can I do, girl, I'm still too shy." Uehara is noncommittal, and between Spidermaru and Yukino, and between Sycamore and Shilersa, it is a completely different state.
"Since you're bored, here you go, the ghost first shift they dug out a squirrel nest, shit, and got a big bag of nuts." The ghost head doesn't know how to roast nuts at all, so he has to pull Aikawa together, and then after Aikawa has a fireball, it's all mush. Not to mention the confusion, it was still very hard, and Uehara had to cut it one by one.
"Sasaki, take it, you can taste it too." Uehara looked at the nuts for a long time and couldn't find out what kind of tree it was, but since squirrels can eat them, people should be able to eat them.
"Uehara." Sasaki picked up a nut and bit it with his teeth without believing in evil, and with a crak, he almost didn't knock his teeth out, "Holy shit, it's really hard." He cursed disapprovingly.
"Huh?? Sasaki, when did you learn to curse? Uehara looked surprised.
"I didn't learn it from you." Sasaki shrugged as Uehara did, and looked at Uehara looking at the other classes talking and laughing, as if he was also involved, with a smile on his face. "Uehara, I've noticed that you're different from Captain Iwake." Sasaki spoke.
"Huh? Captain Sasaki and I are two people, so of course there will be differences! "It's not easy to deal with slippery nuts with kunai, which makes Uehara very manic.
"Captain Iwaliu always makes everyone's face tense, and you, Uehara, you always try to make everyone laugh." Sasaki thought for a moment and said, "I still remember, Uehara, you climbed up the tree to pick fruit for everyone, took everyone to the river to catch fish, and even took care of everyone's untidy clothes, you are more concerned about these things than ninjutsu." ”
"Keeping a tight face on the enemy doesn't look more vicious, and the enemy is less likely to back down because of it, and ah, it will make the team nervous, I personally don't like it, and I guess you don't like it either." Finally smashed the nuts, Uehara swallowed them in one bite, the nuts tasted sweet and silky, and the taste was quite good, but poor little squirrel, the food for the winter was gone, not to mention, and now he was still locked in a small cage, teased by the girls. Uehara has a history of killing rabbits, this is the complaint that Xuelesa sued other girls, so Uehara was rejected by all the girls, and he was more diligent than the thief, so he was afraid that he would let Uehara kill the little squirrel if he was not careful, which made Uehara very speechless.
"It's fun to pick fruits and catch fish or something, you said I don't like ninjutsu, you're right. Originally, I was still curious about mastering ninjutsu, but my companions died under ninjutsu, and my ninjutsu also killed a lot of people. Speaking of which, I'm different from everyone else in the ninja world, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't be averse to killing, but I should like it very much, but I'm just uncomfortable. ”
It's not that Uehara hasn't seen blood, although he didn't even kill chickens in his previous life, but since he came to the ninja world, he has been counting the rest of his life for hundreds of battles, and fighting and killing have long become commonplace.
"By the way, Sasaki, Spider Maru, we are all from the same village, have you seen me at the ninja school?" Uehara asked.
"I don't think I've seen you......" Sasaki thought for a moment, stared at Uehara again and again, and finally spoke.
"I don't have either, Uehara, it's delicious, give me some more." Spider Pill was still unsatisfied, and reached out to ask Uehara for nuts.
"Giving you so much and eating it so quickly? How do you do it? Uehara felt in his pocket and handed over another handful of nuts. This time, Uehara saw how the spider pill peeled the nuts, grabbed a handful of nuts in his hand, and instilled chakra with the other hand, and there was a crackling sound, and the shell and the fruit inside were separated......
"Spider Pill, this is for you to pass the time, the night is long, don't take it seriously and eat it, what should I do after eating......" After the painting was finished, the nuts were all given to Sasaki and Spider Pill, and now the most boring thing has become Uehara.
"Spider-maru, Sasaki, can you sing?" Uehara was bored and pulled everyone to play with him.
"No, it won't." Sasaki kept splitting the nuts with a knife, and he was happy to eat them, and he was able to cut the nuts larger than peanuts with the blade just right, and Uehara was very envious of this brutal ability.
"I can sing." Spider Maru continued, looking at Uehara with an expectant face, his eyes rolled, "But I don't want to sing, I sing hard to death." ”
"Well, actually, I sing very well......" Looking at Sasaki's look of disbelief, Spidermaru was indifferent, and Uehara felt that his ability was being underestimated, "Then I don't care, I'm going to sing, "Castle in the Sky", I like it the most." ”
"Uh-huh......" Uehara cleared his throat.
"Legend is in the distant heavens
Shining brightly
There is a beautiful city
Faintly floating in the middle of the clouds
I don't know what it looks like
also for finding its direction
……
The city in the sky
There is the fragrance of small wildflowers
The city in the sky
The birds are singing like a melodious song
......" Uehara has a good voice, and with the melodious tunes of Sky Castle, it is perfect for the dead of night, and Uehara is completely immersed in it, as if he is back next to his second-hand piano......
"Uehara squad leader, sing well!"
"Uehara squad leader, sing again!"
"Wow, listen so well!"
……
I don't know when, there was a circle of people around Uehara, and the applause rang out, and Uehara was a little embarrassed.
"Sorry to bother you." He bowed softly to the surroundings.
"No, Uehara squad leader, such a beautiful song, teach everyone to sing it."
"Yes, let's teach you, it's just night, it's still early."
"Then, I'll teach you." Everyone gathered in a circle, shoulder to shoulder, foot to foot, around a warm bonfire, and each other's shadows could be seen clearly on the opposite side of the bonfire, which made the Shangyuan feel like each class singing on the night of military training at the university.
"Let's teach you two songs, one is just now, "Castle in the Sky", and the other is Moscow...... Oh, no, "Night on the outskirts of Kawanokuni", this song only has a tune, no lyrics for the time being, and when the war is over and returns to the village, everyone fills in the lyrics together...... "There is no musical accompaniment, Uehara a sentence, everyone sings along, and the song is very tactful." It's just that Spider Pill, a guy who has no artistic cells at all, sits next to Uehara, singing as much out of tune as he wants, and his voice is still big, Uehara was speechless, and he couldn't help it when he wanted to give him a few punches.
"Okay, let's do it again, this time it's already good......" Before he finished speaking, he was patted on the shoulder, it was a fat man.
"Yukino, you can take everyone to practice together." It seems that girls are born with artistic cells, hell, after a few times, Yukino sang better than Uehara.
"Spider Maru, Sasaki, gone." After greeting the two of them, Uehara left quietly, and the fat man came over, it must be that Ming Xue Lesa found out something.
The vigilance shift is changed in turns, only Shelersha rests during the day, and at night, she has to use her perception to be on guard for one night.
"Uehara, I perceive something strange." Shelersha carefully described what she perceived to the hara. "It's chakra, it's just, it's faint, but it's clear, it doesn't look like it's deliberately hidden."
"Where's the direction?" Uehara has already taken out the kunai.
"At twelve o'clock, the distance is fifty meters."
"Fifty meters, have you already touched our wall?" Because the number of people was reduced by half, the camp with a radius of 100 meters no longer had enough manpower to guard it, so it had to be reduced to 50 meters.
"Everyone, be on guard!" Spider Maru roared, and all his companions, who were still practicing the lyrics over and over again, took out their weapons and scattered at the same time, back to back, shoulder to shoulder, guarding against possible dangers in the darkness.
Fifty meters away, in an instant, Uehara threw the torch in his hand when he was about to approach the camp, illuminating a large area nearby for a while.
A fluttering voice sounded, and Uehara was stunned, not an enemy ninja, "It's a bird, it's a psychic beast, it's the same as the Spider Pill you encountered during the day!" ”
"I can't rest tonight, it may be someone from Detachment 13, but it may also be an enemy." Uehara retracted the kunai and inserted it in his waist, "Everyone work hard at night, everyone is on alert, and tomorrow we should be able to determine whether it is friend or foe." ”
