Before you know it, noon has arrived.

Under the scorching sun, three members of the Kaiban team stood on the riverside, struggling with the muddy sewage surface and the floating, dense plastic waste.

Cleaning up the river is their task today.

"Oops!"

As soon as her feet slipped, she was planted into the dark yellow river, and the stench poured into her nose, and Linglong barely supported her arms, and after standing firmly, she bent down, retching with pain on her face.

"Linglong! Are you okay? ”

Not far away, Xiao Li exclaimed, hurriedly put down the garbage bag in his hand, ran to his companion, and patted his back with concern.

A few seconds later, Linglong vomited a lot and poured all her breakfast into the river.

"Teacher Kai, let Linglong rest for a while."

Ning Ci noticed the situation on Linglong's side, so he shouted loudly to Akai who was lying under the tree on the bank of the river, and then got a reply of "yes".

With Xiao Li's support, Linglong walked out of the muddy river step by step, and the originally clean and tidy pink vest was now covered with stains and exuded a foul smell.

Boom!

Throwing off the canned food box hanging above his head, he fell down, lay on his back beside Akai, looked at the blue sky with his eyes distracted, and muttered to himself:

"Why? Aren't we full-time combat ninjas? ”

"Why do you want to do this kind of task?"

Akai moved away to cover her face, looked at Linglong lying flat next to her, but she didn't dislike the other party's dirty appearance, patted her shoulder, and patiently explained:

"Doing this kind of D-class production type task is not essentially about creating any concrete results, but about honing your willpower and laying a stronger foundation."

"During the war, the D-class mission was handed over to the production ninjas, but now it's not peaceful, for the sake of your growth, the village left this kind of task for you to do."

"The purpose is mainly to exercise, and at the same time, it can be regarded as saving an expense, after all, the tasks below grade B belong to the category of voluntary labor, which is covered by the monthly salary."

Speaking of this, Akai paused slightly, put his hands behind his head, changed to a more comfortable position, and added with emotion:

"I think back then, none of us had ever done a D-class mission......"

"As soon as I graduated, I went directly to the battlefield, and I don't know how many people died in the battle at the same time, your generation of children is really bathed in the sunshine of peace."

Teacher Akai rarely showed this kind of expression, as if he was lamenting the eventful years of his youth, Linglong's heart moved, and he looked at each other curiously:

"Teacher, I've heard that the number of production ninjas is much higher than that of our combat ninjas, why are they rarely seen in the village?"

After pondering for a while, Akai lowered his head and thought for a while: "Production ninjas are basically transformed from ordinary people, you should know the fifth-generation chakra reagent, right?" ”

"Yes." Linglong nodded.

"We privately call production ninjas reagent ninjas, and most of the people who receive injections are rarely willing to take the path of fighting ninjas after becoming ninjas, due to their age and lack of talent."

"In short, they're not that kind of material."

Akai held his forehead with his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was trying to think about something, and only after he had organized his language did he begin to answer Linglong's doubts positively:

"That was probably five or six years ago...... The National Assembly has launched a proposal, which is supported by the majority of parliamentarians, on the excessive cost of military spending and calls for general disarmament. ”

"Since then, the reagent ninja has gradually moved out of the sequence of battle ninjas and has started to produce and build."

"The battle ninjas left behind are basically elites."

"I happened to hear Kakashi mention that the current production ninjas in the country have probably reached more than a million people, and the combat ninjas are less than 100,000."

"As for your question...... In previous years, there were still many production ninjas in the village, but in recent years, the scale of development has gradually reached a state of saturation, and there is no longer a need for so many people. ”

"So, naturally, they just got out of here."

Remembering last year's graduation test task, although Linglong felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she faintly realized something, so she asked Akai in a tentative tone:

"Akai-sensei, those production ninjas, they shouldn't be very good, right?"

Akai glanced at Linglong suspiciously, as if he didn't understand where this question came from, so he simply scratched his head and said in an uncertain tone: "It should be okay, right?" ”

"To be honest, I don't know much about that."

As a traditional ninja Murakami, Akai rarely leaves the village except for performing tasks, that is, on missions, most of which are also some work to transmit information and escort dignitaries.

According to Watergate's evaluation, Akai is the kind of ninja who bathes in the sun, too dirty, too dark tasks, and he can't do it well.

In contrast, Linglong's last mentor, Shangnin, who was the former ninja of the Intelligence Department named Huangsheng, was basically at two extremes with Akai.

Just from the temperament, you can see it.

Realizing this, Linglong didn't ask any more questions, silently remembered the information narrated by Akai in her heart, and stood up with a carp.

"Teacher Akai, I'm resting!"

Although the body is extremely sloppy, this does not hide the delicate and radiant temperament, under the sun, a pair of big eyes shine brightly, full of vitality.

"Don't you want to rest for a while? It's only been a few minutes, right? ”

Akai looked at Linglong in surprise, and his tone was slightly dissuasive, for the only girl in the team, his requirements were still relatively lenient, at least not like Xiao Li and Ning Ci.

"For the sake of dreams, you can't be lazy!"

gave a thumbs up to Akaibi, Linglong learned the teacher's signature movements, smiled heartily, and showed a mouthful of white teeth, which made Akai stunned for a while.

But immediately, he reacted and smiled:

"Yes, youth doesn't stop!"

"Come on! Exquisite! ”

Seeing Linglong jump into the river with a puff, the sewage splashed on Ning Ci's body, causing a series of complaints, Akai smiled, and then returned to his calmness and put the cover on his face again.

'Linglong...... Some answers still have to rely on you to find them yourself, and I, as a teacher, can neither nor should interfere in your life choices. ’

'But in short......

'Hope you can make this country a better place......

Closing his eyes and enjoying the coolness in the shade of the trees, Akai looked back on the previous conversation and felt that there was no big problem, and exhaled turbid air faintly.

After guessing Linglong's identity, although there was no abnormality on the surface, in fact, Akai's attention to this female apprentice was directly increased by several orders of magnitude.

In his free time, Akai carefully collected some exquisite admission materials and the specific reasons for repeating the grade last time, and tried to know it by heart.

Do your best, don't take Linglong crookedly.

The next ruler of the Fire Empire is likely to appear, an existence named Linglong, even if he has a big nerve like Akai, he is also educating the other party and becoming cautious.
