Chapter 66: What's in the Scroll?
The three of them immediately became vigilant, and Twilight and Chisato subconsciously stood in front of Aoyagi, each posing and preparing to defend against enemy attacks.
When the three ninjas stopped in front of them and saw each other's intentions, they were all surprised, Aoyagi was better, after all, there were already some guesses, and Chisato exclaimed directly: "Araki-sensei, Sugimoto-sensei, and, why are you here too, Dad!" ”
After the surprise, the three of them relaxed, and Aoyagi sat directly on the floor because of the pain all over his body.
"What the hell is going on!" Chisato yelled, "I don't understand. ”
Smack-Chisato was slapped on the head, and Oe said quietly: "It's too unstable, look at your companions, they will be much calmer." ”
Araki took a step forward and said, "It's up to me to explain the situation, your actions this time are actually a test guided by us. ”
"Huh?" Chisato was surprised: "How is it possible, that scroll was found in a remote corner when I was tidying up the warehouse." ”
"That's your father, cooperating with us. Otherwise, you think you can find something good by cleaning things in the storeroom? ”
"Chisato, I think my uncle asked you to clean up the warehouse, right?"
"Of course, if he hadn't asked me to go, how could I have gone to the warehouse to clean up, it's too troublesome." Speaking of which, Chisato came to his senses, "Ah, so Dad, you put the scroll in the storeroom and asked me to clean it up so I could find it?" ”
Silent smiled but did not speak.
Araki continued, "With your personality, you will definitely be curious when you find this thing, but if you can't solve it alone, you will definitely go to Aoyagi and Twilight so that they will also enter the trial." You're the best to deceive, so we're using you as a breakthrough. ”
"What, it's so natural for you to lie to us." Chisato was very disappointed, he didn't expect the treasure to be gone, it was just a well-designed exercise. "In that case, the contents of the treasure chest are also fake?"
Sugimoto said, "No, the scroll in the treasure chest is for reward, if you can complete this trial and get the scroll, then it is yours, and it records a ninjutsu ......"
"Great! It's not in vain. ”
Aoyagi looked at the three adults and said, "And after that, Sugimoto-sensei emphasized in the class that the ninja code has been revised, just so that we can unravel the code?" Sending us to the river to draw a map both prompted us on how to interpret the clues and sent us directly to the place where the map was buried. ”
"That's right."
"But what would you have done if we hadn't been able to unravel the code, or find the map?"
"We'll give you some other hints, if you can't find this place according to the many hints in the end, then your results in code interpretation and other related aspects will be a failure! To re-learn, punish copying the relevant knowledge a hundred times. ”
When Chisato heard that he was going to be punished for copying, he was very glad that he had found the map.
"I'm a little puzzled, why is there dust in this room, just where the treasure chest is located, and there are no other rooms, why is it so arranged?"
"If you're dealing with other imps, of course you don't have to arrange it like this, just set up the room to be clean or dusty. But Aoyagi, no matter what you say, you've also learned reconnaissance knowledge from Araki for a long time, and if the layout is too simple, you will definitely see the flaws. ”
"Because in the end, it will test your ability to crack or dodge the mechanism, so the mechanism must be set up."
"If you make the trap old, you wonder why such an old trap can still survive and not be triggered by various animals that pass by, or because it is too old to fail. Besides, if you find out that the mechanism is old, it is easy for you to think of it as a trial. ”
"So, it can only be set up as if another group of ninjas arrived before you, and they set up traps on the road and in the rooms, and for fear of revealing their traces, they carefully cleaned the rooms they searched while searching. It's just that I left suddenly because of something urgent, and I didn't have time to take the contents of the treasure chest. The dust in the room on the right is meant to create the illusion that no one has yet entered the room, and the contents of the treasure chest are still there. ”
"I've been planning to leave quickly, and if we leave without searching the house, wouldn't it be contrary to your expectations? There's no way to test our ability to dismantle the agency. ”
"Hmph, with the personality of Chisato Oe, if he doesn't inspect the whole house, he won't want to leave. Even if you really plan to leave, you're all in the house, and it's not easy, open the door to the room on the right, and fake the illusion that the door is in disrepair and the door is broken and opened by itself. When you see a treasure chest, you will pay attention to it, or at least try to open it. ”
"I have another question, did you build this house for this trial? If so, that's a bit of a lot of work, isn't it? ”
"No, this house is already here, we just renovated it, didn't you notice that the house looks old?"
Aoyagi secretly said in his heart, who knows if you used some method to make it old.
"Finally, let's sum it up, this trial involves the interpretation of codes, the interpretation of maps, cracking mechanisms, investigation and reasoning, etc., and comprehensively examining your learning in these aspects, and now it seems that the results are okay. While most of the traps were triggered, you were able to avoid the threat of them. ”
"It's just that I was too careless when I took the scroll in the end, and I hit the trap, but after all, I also got the scroll, so you barely passed the level. The ninjutsu on the scroll is yours, and all three of you can learn it. ”
"Okay!" Chisato couldn't wait to unfold the scroll and beckoned the other two to look at it together.
The three Araki stood aside and didn't bother.
Oe looked at Araki and said, "I was very surprised when you came to me, but I didn't expect that after you were injured and retired, you went to the ninja school to become a teacher." ”
"I'm also surprised that you actually became the owner of a ninja shop."
took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff, and sighed slightly: "It's not for this kid." When he was two years old, his mother died while on a mission. I thought, if something happens to me, there will be no one to take care of him. I retired and opened a shop to make a living, but it was much more stable than before. What about you? ”
Araki was silent for a while, and said, "At that time, I was very disappointed when I found that it was difficult for my right hand to recover, and it was difficult to even pick up kunai. After spending days at home and feeling like I was rotting out, I picked myself up and resumed training. ”
"It's just that the right hand is weak, the seal is too slow, and the combat power is greatly reduced, and you can only withdraw from the shadows. I was confused and didn't know where to go next. It happened that the third generation Hokage asked me if I wanted to be a teacher, so I thought that there were some things to do, and I agreed. ”
Silent Zhao sighed: "It's not easy. The wound on your right hand, if it were an adult, would probably be cured. ”
"She's been gone for so long, and she doesn't know where she is now. That's how it should be for my life. However, it is good to be able to teach these Konoha seedlings and watch them grow. Araki looked at the three people sitting on the ground and smiled slightly, "Although I don't have any possibilities anymore, they have them, and I don't know where they can go." ”
