On the night of December 28, Konoha 48, on New Year's Eve, Kazuya Echizen ushered in the first heavy snow in the world of Hokage.

There was a vast expanse between heaven and earth, and goose-feather-like snowflakes were still fluttering down one after another, and the entire Konoha Village was covered in silver in an instant, turning into a fairytale-like world.

The first time he saw the snow, the White Emperor was as excited as crazy, arching in and out of the snow, and the original black nose was also covered with snowflakes, and the snow-white long hair was draped on his body, and he couldn't see a little black on his body, like a smart snowball.

Echizen Kazuya, who was driven by the White Emperor, also rushed into the snow world, chased and frolicked with the White Emperor, and left all the pressure and anxiety accumulated on weekdays behind.

Even Kakashi, who usually doesn't have Echizen Kazuya calling and never takes the initiative to show up, can't help but show up when he looks at the beautiful snowy scene, standing alone and cold on the high eaves, looking into the distance like a broken goose, not knowing who he is missing.

Keiko Yamanaka, on the other hand, stood under the flower shop porch with Koino in her arms, frowning slightly, looking at Kazuya Echizen, who was playing wildly, worried that he would catch a cold and get sick on a cold and snowy day.

Ino in Keiko Yamanaka's arms didn't have so many worries, looking at the snowflakes in the sky and Echizen Kazuya and White Emperor playing wantonly in the snow, while applauding and laughing happily, he leaned out vigorously. Presumably, as long as she is older, she will not be willing to stay obediently in Keiko Yamanaka's arms.

At this time, in the ancestral hall of the Yamanaka family, the atmosphere was a little more solemn.

After telling Echizen Kazuya that he wanted to teach him ninjutsu, Yamanaka Kaichi, who had a plan, gathered the family speakers together and discussed with them about teaching Echizen Kazuya Yamanaka the secret arts.

The Yamanaka family is the number one family in the Konoha row, plus there are hundreds of people in the old and young, but there are only a dozen or twenty people who have the right to speak, except for those who go out to do tasks and those who have temporary things, they have all arrived at the ancestral hall at this time.

"I've already finished talking about Kazuya's situation, and my opinion is to hand over the secret art inherited by my clan to him, what do you think?" Yamanaka Kaichi carefully explained the situation of Echizen Kazuya and asked in a calm tone.

Several people present looked at each other, and finally a prestigious elder Yamanaka Kaidou spoke: "Haiyi, originally you, as the patriarch, we will all support the decision you make. But the secret art of my clan has never been passed on to a foreign surname, not to mention whether a person with a foreign surname can accept the inheritance, let's just say that although Echizen Kazuya is your adopted child, but after all, he is still an outsider, do you think about this matter again. ”

Yamanaka Haiichi was silent for a moment when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Qidou, I have also carefully considered this matter, not to consider whether people with foreign surnames can accept the inheritance, and I really treat this child as my own child, as long as we don't treat him as an outsider, then he will definitely treat us as relatives." ”

After a pause, Yamanaka continued in a seductive tone: "What's more, Kazuya's talent is the only one I have ever seen in my life, as long as he can accept the inheritance, then we will never be humiliated if we pass on the secret techniques of the Yamanaka family to him, and it is even likely that he will be developed to a more advanced realm, and at that time, I think he will definitely not live up to our Yamanaka family." ”

"Brother Haiyi, is this so possible? How could he have developed the secret techniques that had been passed down from my mountain family for so many generations to a more advanced realm, your words were too exaggerated, right? As soon as he heard Yamanaka Kaichi's words, the young genius in the Yamanaka family, the short-tempered Yamanaka Kazeta, was a little unconvinced, which was an evaluation that even he had never received, so he immediately asked in a loud voice.

"Nothing is impossible!" Yamanaka Hai said affirmatively: "On the other hand, if you look at the history of the development of my Yamanaka family's secret arts, you can find that the development of secret techniques often does not depend on a large number of people, but on the hands of a few amazing and brilliant ancestors, and then passed down from generation to generation. ”

"If it weren't for the existence of those amazing talented ancestors, even if it was passed down for many generations, our clan's secret art might still be the same as it was at the beginning, and it would never have been possible to reach the point where it is today." Yamanaka concluded in a firm tone, "Therefore, we must seize this opportunity and treat Kazuya wholeheartedly. ”

It was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the mountain stroke who was in the age of blood and qi instinctively wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what reason to say, so he had to keep his mouth shut and look depressed.

Several people from the Yamanaka family discussed it again, and it was Yamanaka Kaito who spoke: "Okay, Haiyi, we all agree with you, but you also know that learning the secret art still needs to go through the test of the family inheritance, if Kazuya's mental power is not qualified or there are other changes that lead to failure, then you can't reveal the secret art to him privately." ”

"Of course, but I'm sure Kazuya's mental power will be fine," Yamanaka said with a smile after gaining the consent of everyone in the family.

"I also hope that this kid can pass the test, if he can really develop my clan's secret art to a more advanced level, it will be even better," the old man Yamanaka Kaito laughed as he agreed.

Although the Yamanaka family is not as powerful as the Uchiha and Hinata, the relationship between the people in the clan is much closer and more harmonious, and it is precisely because of this kind of family affection that blood is thicker than water, as well as solidarity and mutual assistance with the Nara and Akido clans, that the Yamanaka family has been inherited from the unpredictable Warring States period and has become more and more prosperous.

Looking at Yamanaka Kaito's sincere smile, Yamanaka Kaichi couldn't wait to say, "Then I'll let Kazuya prepare, and let him come to accept the test of family inheritance in a few days." ”

"Isn't it too early?" Yamanaka Keito said suspiciously.

"Probably not, judging from this child's mental power, even if he can't pass the test now, there will definitely be no problem in ensuring his safety." Kaichi Yamanaka said confidently.

Yamanaka Kaito touched his beard, smiled expectantly and said: "You really have confidence in this child, well, it's almost the New Year, I also have to prepare for the ceremony, just arrange it in ten days, if it succeeds, then he should be the youngest person who has passed the test on record, and I also want to see such a genius!" ”

"Then Uncle Qidou, you just wait and see, this kid has surprised me several times, I think he will definitely not disappoint you this time, haha." Yamanaka, who felt at ease in front of his clansmen, laughed unscrupulously.

"Hehe, then I'll come to see it at that time, and see what the little genius who was praised by you looks like by Brother Haiyi," the childish Yamanaka said with a smile as he pretended to be unconvinced.

Yamanaka Hai looked at Yamanaka Kazuta, and said with a smile: "I think you, a little genius, should hurry up and work hard, with Kazuya's progress speed, maybe when I catch up with you, when you are bullied by your juniors, don't ask me to help you get angry!" ”

Yamanaka Kazuta has a good relationship with Yamanaka Haiichi, and when he was bullied as a child, he asked Yamanaka Haiichi to help him get angry, and Yamanaka Haiichi often teased him about it.

"Hahaha, yes, Fengtai, you must work hard, if you are bullied by a child, your face will not look good! Ha ha. ”

"Yes, yes, I also think that Feng Tai has not worked hard enough recently, she must have fallen in love with a little girl, if you don't say it quickly, uncle will help you inquire, haha."

Hearing Yamanaka Kaiichi's words ridiculing Yamanaka Kazuta, the elders of the Yamanaka family followed suit one by one, and the originally slightly dignified atmosphere immediately became relaxed and hot.

Only Yamanaka, who was constantly being ridiculed, was too blushing like a monkey's buttocks, with a high hedgehog head, shouting in shame that he wanted to fight with Yamanaka Kaichi......
