Chapter 27: Recruiting Maitkai (Part I)
Since Zhang Miao and Maitkai made a new duel rule, Zhang Miao didn't see Maitkai again for the whole day of the next day.
However, Zhang Miao knew even if he didn't leave home that the current Maitkai must be practicing a handstand to run around Konoha Village.
In the evening, the familiar sound of the system sounded again.
"Ding-Congratulations to the host for winning the official duel between the host and Maitkai and getting the five-star Ninja Maitkai Ninja Fragment x10!"
Hearing this prompt, Zhang Miao knew that Maitkai's attempt to run around Konoha upside down today had failed.
And with Maitkai's character, Zhang Miao felt that if nothing else, he was already lying exhausted on a certain path at the edge of the village.
"Poor boy!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly sighed, then shook his head and went into the house to sleep.
By the next day, Zhang Miao still didn't see Maitkai, but in the evening, he received a prompt sound from the system on time.
"Ding-Congratulations to the host for winning the official duel between the host and Maitkai and getting the five-star Ninja Maitkai Ninja Fragment x10!"
For most of the next half a month, Maitkai did not appear in front of Zhang Miao once, but the system's prompt tone did not fall once.
The only difference is that the sound of the cue starts to push back, sometimes in the evening, sometimes when it's just dark, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, and even a few times at dawn.
Whenever Zhang Miao was woken up by the system's prompt sound in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Maitkai, this guy is really playful!"
Maitkai is indeed very hard-working, but his results are also very significant, on the thirty-fifth day when he and Zhang Miao set the conditions for the duel, Zhang Miao finally received a different prompt tone.
"Ding-Host loses the duel with Maitkai, the duel is over!"
When he heard this prompt, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Zhang Miao's mouth.
"Is it finally done?"
Although he did not obtain the ninja shard this time, Zhang Miao did not feel lost, but was sincerely happy that Maitkai was able to break through himself again.
"It seems that I have inadvertently become the ladder of Kaihuang's progress, maybe this guy is running towards this with an excited face at the moment!"
As soon as Zhang Miao thought of this, he found a cloud of smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and at the forefront of the smoke, a green figure was approaching him at a fast speed!
Who is it if it's not Maitkai?
After a few breaths, Maitkai rushed in front of Zhang Miao, and the wind and dust he brought with him blew Zhang Miao's hair back.
Damn, it looks like I'm going to have to wash my hair again today!
It seemed that he didn't notice Zhang Miao's disgusted expression at all, and Maitkai, who was sweating profusely, immediately hugged him.
"Ryunosuke, I made it! I've walked around Konoha upside down without stopping or falling down in the middle, and now you can admit me, right? ”
"Uh-huh, I admit it!"
Zhang Miao nodded as she pushed Maitkai away.
"I admit that you are the arrogant blue beast of Konoha Maitkai, I will never call you Acorn Kai again, congratulations on breaking through yourself again, you are the best, okay, let go of me!"
Maitkai waited for Zhang Miao's words for a long time, and now that he finally admitted himself, he was so excited that he hugged Zhang Miao tightly in his arms, and then cried with joy.
"Woo...... Great, I did it, I really did it, thank you Ryunosuke, woo woo woo woo ......"
"Oops...... Snot, watch your snot, help! ”
……
When Maitkai hugged Zhang Miao and cried with joy, the system's prompt sound also sounded in Zhang Miao's mind.
"Ding-Congratulations to the host for obtaining the absolute recognition of Maitkai and obtaining the five-star upper ninja Maitkai ninja shards x10, the host has collected four hundred identical five-star ninja shards, which can be recruited at any time!"
Zhang Miao: "......"
Is that enough?
During this time, Zhang Miao basically didn't do anything, and he was able to obtain Maitkai's ninja fragments every day, so he didn't calculate it carefully at all, but he didn't expect to collect it now.
And by the way, he also has the absolute approval of Maitkai, which means that even if he doesn't bully Maitkai in the future, he can continue to get his ninja shards.
It seems that today is really an auspicious day!
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao immediately patted Maitkai's back, and then laughed.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, this time you won the duel of youth, you go back to take a shower first, and wait until tomorrow we will go to the barbecue Q to have a big meal, which is considered to be a celebration for you, how about it?"
"Huh? Celebrate? Hearing that Zhang Miao was going to celebrate himself, Maitkai suddenly showed a happy face, but soon his face became bitter again, "But...... I haven't been on a mission this month......"
In the ninja world, the income of ninjas basically comes from tasks, and the village's income source basically relies on letting the ninjas in the village perform hired tasks to obtain commissions.
In other words, if the ninja has no other source of income and does not go on a mission, then he has no income.
And Maitkai has been walking around the village upside down for the past month, and naturally he has not carried out the task, so it is inevitable that he will be shy.
"I finally got Ryunosuke's approval, I don't have the money to celebrate, I'm so useless!"
For the first time since becoming a ninja, someone proposed to celebrate for himself, but he couldn't even get the money to celebrate, which made Maitkai feel guilty and sad.
Seeing Maitkai's depressed appearance, Zhang Miao laughed.
"Hahahaha, you don't have to worry about money, because I have made an appointment with Xiao a month ago, and when you win the duel, Xiao will invite us to go to the barbecue Q for a big meal, Xiao is the elite of the dark department, so don't worry about him having no money, you can rest assured!"
"Huh?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Maitkai immediately raised his head in surprise, and then looked at the owl standing aside with an excited face, "Is this true?" Owl seniors? ”
Xiao: "......"
At this time, the owl is really bitter and can't say it.
On the one hand, although he really doesn't want to pay this money, since the gambling contract has been made, and the opponent is still a child, if he cheats, Xiao feels a little unbearable.
On the other hand, he has seen Maitkai's performance this month, and Maitkai has done what even he can't do, which is not easy!
Thinking of this, Xiao nodded to Maitkai, who was looking at him expectantly.
"Well, it's true, but we have to wait until Hokage-sama returns!"
"Great!"
Hearing that the owl agreed, Maitkai jumped for joy.
Maitkai didn't care that the celebration was two days late, he didn't even care that someone paid for a treat, he cared about one more person celebrating him.
"Thank you, Ryunosuke! Thank you, Owl seniors! I'm so happy, I'm going to go back to the shower right now and do another thousand push-ups, and if I can't do it, another fifteen hundred squats, I'm so happy, haha! ”
With that, Maitkai ran home in a puff of smoke, leaving behind only billowing smoke and stunned owls.
"Is this guy alright?"
Hearing Xiao's question, Zhang Miao suddenly shrugged her shoulders, and then went back to the house.
The night came soon, and when the moon just hung up her fingers, Zhang Miao walked down from her small bed, and then crept to the door, and then put her ear to the door and listened.
After about two or three minutes, Zhang Miao made sure that there was no movement outside, and then ran to the middle of the room, took out all the four hundred Maitkai ninja fragments in the system space, and then spread them on the ground.
After doing this, Zhang Miao suddenly took a deep breath, and then took out a knife to cut the thumb of his right hand.
"Hiss......"
When his fingers were cut, Zhang Miao suddenly grinned in pain, but he did not rush to bandage it, but endured the pain, and his hands quickly formed seals - Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei!
After completing the five handprints, Zhang Miao pressed his bloody palm on the ninja fragment that was flat on the ground, and then let out a low sigh.
"Psychics!"
