Chapter 57: Interpreting the Code
"When carrying out a mission, it is necessary to ensure that relevant information is not leaked, especially about the ninja village and the war. Leaking information will bring danger to other ninjas in the village! ”
Seeing that most of the students in the audience didn't pay much attention to the lecture, Sugimoto slapped the podium hard, "The Ninja Code is a norm for ninja behavior, and every ninja must learn and remember it carefully!" ”
Everyone was startled by the sound and concentrated a little.
"The original version of the Ninja Code was developed by the second Hokage and many ninjas when the ninja school was first established, aiming to regulate the behavior of ninjas and protect the lives of ninjas. Later, it turned out that the appearance of the Ninja Code did improve the survival rate and mission success rate of ninjas...... Over time, ninjas have come to realize that some of the rules don't apply, and there are some situations that aren't mentioned in the code. In order to better pass on these valuable experiences and lessons gained with blood and tears, the ancestors revised the Ninja Code many times, which is why you have the Ninja Code in your hands now. It condenses the care and expectation of your predecessors, and this is how you ignore it!? ”
It's just that most of the students still haven't been able to grasp the spirit he wants to convey, and Chisato is the most excessive, and his head is fishing again.
Twilight had been listening intently. Aoyagi was used to hearing these similar things, and his mind automatically ignored and filtered out.
Shaking his head secretly, Sugimoto calmed down for a while and resumed the lecture......
"Class!"
"Twilight, Aoyagi, let's go, let's start today's practice!" Chisato has been quite positive lately, probably because of the formation of a habit.
"Chisina, I have something to do today, you two can go by yourself." When Twilight finishes, she hurries away.
"Strange, what's the matter with Twilight? Why are you in such a hurry? Chisato couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it, "Aoyagi, let's go." ”
"Okay."
………………
In the forest, Aoyagi, who was training, heard footsteps, and looked in the direction from which the sound came from, and it was Twilight running over.
Chisato also spots Twilight and mutters, "Didn't Twilight say there was something urgent, so she got it back so quickly." ”
"Chisato, Aoyagi, didn't the teacher say today that the ninja code has been changed many times? I think the scroll is so old, it's probably a reference to the old ninja code, so I went to the school's storeroom yesterday to look for it, but I didn't expect it to be there. I lent out the original version. Running up to the two of them, Twilight smugly as she waved an old yellowed book in her hand.
Chisato suddenly came to her senses and pulled out the scroll, "Okay, Twilight, you're very good." But why don't you call us to look for it? ”
"I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find the old version of the ninja code, so you won't be disappointed, so I'll tell you when I find it."
"Well, now that we've found it, let's decipher the code now!" Chisato couldn't wait, so she didn't care that Twilight hadn't told them beforehand.
Feelings, you've always brought the scroll with you.
Twilight sits down on the floor, pulls out her notebook, and writes down the codes, word for word, against the old Ninja Code and the scroll.
There are multiple versions of the Ninja Code, so can't you be sure that the code is based on the original version, right? Aoyagi has reservations about this, but she doesn't say anything, so as not to distract Twilight, and she will soon find out if it's true or false anyway.
After a while, Twilight deciphers all the codes and excitedly says, "That's right, this should be it!" ”
Aoyagi was a little surprised, is it really the original version? He picked up his notebook and read it aloud:
When the sun and the moon coexist,
Where heaven and earth meet,
Light in the shadows,
Hope is being nurtured.
After reading it, he looked at the two of them: "What do you think this means?" ”
Chisato touched his head and said, "Don't look at me, I won't do this." "Well, very self-aware.
Twilight frowned, "The first sentence should be about time, and the second and third sentences should be about place, and the so-called hope should mean what is hidden there." ”
Aoyagi scrutinized: "The coexistence of the sun and the moon should refer to dusk." Where Heaven and Earth Meet? Is it at the horizon? No, the range is too wide and impossible to reach, the horizon is always in the distance. What would that be? As for the light in the shadows, what is it? It's too broad. It's hard to find without other tips. ”
Looking at the other two, Aoyagi said, "Hope, I don't know what it means, there's no need to spend so much energy to find it, and it may not be able to find it in the end." ”
Qianli was a little unwilling, and finally made some progress, but he couldn't continue. But that's the case, I don't know where to start now, so let's put it first.
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's continue to practice. ”
………………
In the meatball shop, the three of them sat at a table next to the street.
Shaking a string of three-color balls in her left hand, Twilight said, "Three-color balls, different shops may use different things to dye. In this shop, the green ones are dyed with matcha, the pink ones are made with amaranth juice and milk, and the white ones are made with milk. ”
Qianli chewed the balls and muttered, "Just care so much, it's delicious." ”
"Qianli, you don't understand, only by tasting and experiencing it carefully, can you enjoy the food better." Twilight takes a bite of a ball, chews it slowly, and swallows it, "It's smooth, the flavor is sweet, and on top of that, each one has a unique flavor from the dye, which is really nice." ”
Aoyagi looked at the scenery outside the store and quietly ate meatballs.
The shop is located at the intersection of two streets, and there is a lot of traffic, and Aoyagi's location is right around the corner. With his back to one street, Aoyagi silently watched the people coming and going on the other street, feeling the leisure he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Trouble two more strings!" Chisato held the bamboo skewer in his hand and gestured to the clerk.
"Okay! Please wait. ”
Aoyagi and Twilight eat up the balls in their hands and stop, waiting for Chisato to finish eating.
"Look, there's a dark-haired guy staring at me over there." Chisato, who was happily chewing meatballs, stopped, took the bamboo skewer with the remaining two meatballs, and pointed out.
Aoyagi turned his head, and there was a little boy standing on the street, with black hair and black eyes, and a cold face. Judging by his appearance, it should be Sasuke Uchiha.
Realizing that the three of them were looking back, Sasuke clenched his fists, twisted his head hard, and walked forward, Aoyagi seemed to hear a "hum." ”
"Inexplicable." Chisato continued to eat the meatballs.
Looking at the balls in Chisato's hand, Aoyagi was thoughtful, maybe Sasuke was looking at the three-color balls?
Did he think of the ferret? What a tragedy for these two brothers.
