In the sky, wisps of white clouds filled most of the sky, and the white and pale blue were perfectly blended, making it difficult to distinguish the borders.

The sun is not as fierce as midsummer, but it is not as bright as it is. In the forest, green, yellow, red, brown and black, all kinds of colors are mixed, birds, insects, beasts, leaves and rivers, each voice converges. Under the autumn day, the temperature is comfortable, which makes people feel soothed, and they can experience the beauty of all this calmly.

Standing in front of this remote forest, with a large scroll on his back, Aoyagi awaits the arrival of Araki's new shoots.

Yesterday, Araki Shinya informed Aoyagi that she will be teaching here today. This forest happens to be the place where Aoyagi practiced, and it is also the place where he was chased by wild boars, which should have been specially chosen by Araki.

After a while, Araki walked out of the forest.

"I laid out all kinds of traces in the forest, you mark them, write an analysis of these traces, and stick them on the side." Araki handed a note to Aoyagi, "The time limit is one and a half hours, start now." ”

Dropping the large scroll behind him, Aoyagi hurriedly rushed into the forest, carefully examining his surroundings.

"Well, there is a footprint here, judging by the size and depth, it should be an adult man, about 1.8 meters tall and weighing 70 kilograms."

"The extinguished bonfire, judging by the temperature and the surrounding situation, has been extinguished for at least one night. There were also a lot of dry wood nearby, and the bonfire was extinguished by the earth when it was halfway burned, either in a hurry, or there was an emergency, so they had to leave quickly, and they didn't even have time to clean up the grounds, leaving a lot of traces. ”

"The scratches of the shuriken, the hole that has not been pierced, there has been a battle here, looking at the traces, it should be moving forward while fighting."

"This should be caused by the wind, and here, it is the scorched wood that has been burned by the fire." Aoyagi stood in a messy woodland, examining the traces and simulating the details of the battle that took place at that time, "One of the two warring sides is a ninja who uses wind escape and water escape, and he is in the upper hand, and the other is a fire escape ninja who is being chased by the other side. ”

After pondering for a while, Aoyagi continued: "The chasing party is better at wind escape, and the water escape is only used to counteract the fire escape of the pursued party, and at the same time tries to drive the pursued party to the river, but in the end it fails, and the fire escape ninja breaks out. The hunt continues. ”

………………

In the midst of intense tracing and analysis, Aoyagi roughly figured out what had happened in this place, and time was over.

Araki stepped into the forest and carefully examined Aoyagi's analysis. After a general browsing, Araki took Aoyagi with him to find the traces in the forest, pointed out the mistakes Aoyagi made when searching for the traces, and explained to Aoyagi that the analysis was inadequate, or where it was wrong.

"You think the pursuer is trying to force the pursuer to the river in order to take advantage of the location to kill the opponent. But have you ever considered that the direction near the river is actually the direction away from where Konoha lives? The pursuer, or maybe it's preventing the pursued party from escaping back to Konoha to find support? ”

"If this is the case, it is not difficult to speculate that the Wind Escape Ninja was sent by a hostile ninja village to infiltrate Konoha Village to carry out a mission, and was discovered by the Fire Escape Ninja, so the two sides went to war. If a hostile ninja infiltration may be involved, you should immediately report the information so that the intelligence services can judge. At the same time, according to their own abilities, determine the next action. If you are strong enough, then you can continue to track, find out the situation and wait for an opportunity to help. If you don't have enough strength, find other ninjas as soon as possible and form a team to carry out the mission. ”

………………

"Thank you, Mr. Araki, for your guidance!"

Seeing off Mr. Araki, Aoyagi rushed to the barbecue restaurant. This morning's class took a long time, but luckily I didn't sweat much and didn't need to go home to change my clothes.

Changing into a chef's uniform and putting on a hat, Aoyagi got into a working state.

In accordance with the requirements on the menu, Aoyagi kept slicing the meat. Maintaining a high degree of mental concentration for a long time, even if he has the accumulation of his previous life, and his mental power has increased significantly after space training, Aoyagi still feels very tired after finishing his work at noon.

"Hayakawa-kun, the first time you worked continuously for the whole noon, did you feel like your body was hollowed out?" Masaoka Makoto saw Aoyagi's tired expression, patted him on the shoulder, and asked.

"yes, I used to have time to rest. There are so many orders today, I really can't stop. Aoyagi sighed.

Masato Masato smiled understandingly, "Haha, you're much better than me, I used to be tired and half dead, and I had to rest my head from time to time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to continue working." It's a lot better after a year. Now that you've only been working for a long time, it's amazing to be able to do so long. He gave a thumbs up, "I think you'll be able to adapt in a few months, and it will be much easier then." ”

Aoyagi nodded, I hope so.

Using the knife technique taught by the store manager to slice meat is really mentally depleting. However, this is also a tempering of spiritual power, which can be regarded as a kind of cultivation. It is already a very ideal job to work and practice at the same time, and you can not only get paid, but also strengthen yourself.

After helping the store manager and Masaoka Makoto prepare the lunch meal, Aoyagi went out with a plate of dishes and asked the clerks to help bring the dishes to the restaurant.

Back in the kitchen and tidying up, Aoyagi took off his hat and breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to rest.

Slumped in a chair, Aoyagi was in a daze while eating.

There was a sudden commotion at the dinner table, and Aoyagi looked up in confusion, what the hell was going on?

"Uncle, I'm looking for you!" A popping sound came to my ears.

Blonde hair and black eyes, Sasayama Asaka, what is she doing here, her uncle, who is it?

Sasayama Asaka walked up to Nishida Feng with a wry smile on her face, "Uncle, have you eaten well?" Last time, you said you would hang out with me today, but you weren't allowed to play tricks. ”

Looking at the other people in the store who looked like they knew everything, Aoyagi was strange, how could they all know, but I didn't know? Besides, they also worked in this store for a year, did they know about it a year ago? By the way, the last time I met Sasayama on the way back, it should have been her who came to the store to find Nishida, right? Looks like I'm going to leave first that day, right? No wonder.

Nishida was very helpless: "Asaka, I haven't finished eating yet, you can sit aside and wait for a while." ”

Pouting, Sasayama Asaka looked around, looking for the location, but found Aoyagi first, and asked with some surprise, "Hayakawa-san, why are you in this store too." What are you doing here? ”

"Sasayama-san, I'm working here." The niece of the bear child that Nishida once said should be this one. Although Aoyagi was reluctant to deal with her more, at least politeness had to be maintained.

Nishida looked at Aoyagi, and the meaning in his eyes was very rich, "Hayakawa-kun, I didn't expect you and Asaka to be classmates, and Asaka won't talk about things in school." ”

Aoyagi, can you do me a favor? From Nishida's pleading eyes, Aoyagi could see what was in his heart.

"yes, haha."

I can't help, Aoyagi looked back.
