Chapter 16: Nature
There were quite a few people visiting the Hokage, and Orange Light and Myonne waited under the Hokage building for a while before they were told that they could go to meet the Hokage.
No matter what he said, Orange Light was a little nervous when he was about to face the Hokage. The other party is the strongest person in this village, and he has a very deep social relationship, so it can be said that he is the representative task of the Konoha nobles, and he is the embodiment of Konoha's will.
The process of seeing the Hokage was very harmonious, the young Hokage was not as frivolous as Orange Light imagined, but he was like a very gentle big boy, no matter what Orange Light said, he showed a look of patient listening. At this point, Orange Light is ashamed of himself, and it is no wonder that he is so young and has such achievements.
Hokage put down the pen in his hand, there was a faint annoyance between his eyebrows, he looked at the orange light, and said very seriously: "In other words, you plan to use a lot of money to hire a powerful ninja, teach your two children, and teach them about ninjas and ninjutsu until after the ninja school opens in May next year, right?" ”
This is obviously an extremely good deal, Orange Light has offered a price of 10 million taels in one go, and he needs a powerful ninja to tutor his children, and it does not require this powerful ninja to live in the mansion of the Renwuyue family for a long time. As long as you spare two hours a day, it will continue until the ninja school starts tomorrow, and in just six months, a super high reward of 10 million taels will be given, how do you hear it and think that this is sending money to Konoha.
The fourth Hokage of Konoha Village couldn't help but confirm it again and again, because this matter sounded a little funny. Of course, he didn't think that the Ren Wuyue family had the guts to play the Hokage of Konoha Village, so was he really just here to send money to Konoha Village? There was a hint of unhappiness in the young Hokage's heart, and this unhappiness was not directed at the Ren Wuyue family, but he thought of some of the people who were holding him back. These people say that everything is for the sake of the village, but in essence, they are destroying the hard-won results of the efforts of the previous three generations of Hokage.
If you look at the orange light, you can imagine what the rich people in the village think, and is it really advisable for them to pay protection money to show their loyalty to the village in this way?
It's not just because of power that you can become Hokage. If you can be a Hokage as long as you have enough strength, then Konoha now has at least five or six Hokage, which also involves higher-level competition and a balance of interests. He has enough wisdom and a keen sense of smell, and he may be a very bad start in the future, and it may not show any destructive power in the short term, but it is definitely not a good thing in the long run.
The young Hokage rubbed his hair, sighed slightly in his heart, but the smile on his face was extraordinarily sunny, "I know your mission, and I will immediately arrange for the ninja to complete this task." By the way, do you have any requirements for ninjas on missions? ”
Miao Yin looked at the four generations respectfully and nodded slightly, "Yes, we hope to have a ninja who is very proficient in ninjutsu and has a certain patience to communicate with children normally to take on this task." ”
They were taught two five-year-olds, and children often meant trouble because they were still very new to the world. For some words, some expressions are not immediately understood and accepted, and you need to repeat them several times to know how to do it. This requires a certain amount of patience on the part of the ninja who comes to teach, otherwise there will definitely be some disagreements and even contradictions in the process of teaching.
As for why they chose to specialize in ninjutsu, it was because although the Ren Wuyue family was a wealthy businessman, their predecessor was a samurai family under the command of the daimyo after all, and they themselves had certain physical cultivation skills, so they didn't need to ask others for advice in this regard.
The Hokage nodded very bluntly at Miaoyin's request, and wrote it down on the scroll of the mission, and when he looked up at the couple again, he had clearly detached himself from the Hokage's businesslike state.
"I heard that the child of the Ren Wuyue family has very special talents and qualifications, and even the village elder who tested his potential for him praised him after he came back, is it also for this child this time?" , Konoha Village is actually not big, especially the upper circle is even smaller, just a few families and a few people are in control. When they say something casually, it will soon be known to everyone. Everyone knows that the child of the head of the Ren Wuyue family is a special genius, and he has begun to cultivate at a young age, and he is not much better than the genius boy among the nobles of Konoha.
The Orange Light couple looked a little flattered, the two of them had a smile of surprise on their faces, and Orange Light was a little proud, "I didn't expect that Lord Hokage had heard the rumors of the dog, those rumors were too exaggerated, the dog could only say that he had some talent, and he was too far from a genius." ”
The Hokage was just a small talk, and soon Orange Light handed over a deposit certificate of 10 million taels with both hands and left satisfied.
Looking at the empty office, the Hokage took the certificate that could be exchanged for ten million taels, stretched out the middle finger of his right hand and flicked it, making a crisp sound. He breathed a sigh of relief, and threw out a lot of money in a row, the financial situation of Konoha Village was much more serious than the outside world imagined, but fortunately, this ten million taels could be held for a while.
As for who to send, he didn't pay attention to it, but a figure flashed in his mind.
Orange Light was very satisfied with Vito's mission, and he not only met Hokage-sama in person, but also chatted with Hokage-sama. He felt that with such a thought that the Hokage was here, the Ren Wuyue family should not be targeted again, after all, he had already dedicated his own strength to build the village. It's just that when I think of that 10 million taels, it hurts a little, 10 million taels is not a small amount, although it won't hurt the muscles and bones, but it hurts for a few days.
Fortunately, there is no place for Ren Wuyue's family to ask for help, and the ore needed by the blacksmith shops everywhere comes from their own mines, and they can be self-sufficient from beginning to end.
When they returned home, they were so surprised that they could barely close their mouths when they looked at Qingchuan, who was dirty all over his body, and Liu Qing, who was holding back a smile. No parent will not love their children, those parents who are stricter are actually very serious about their children, not to mention that Orange Light and Miaoyin only have such a biological son as Qingchuan.
They also know that in the past two years, Qingchuan has been forced to be a little tight, and he has been forced to receive training since he was more than three years old, and at that time, he was so ignorant that he didn't know much about the world, so he began to get up early and go to bed late, and began the most basic training at the request of Orange Light and Miaoyin. In two years, the name of Qingchuan's genius has spread far and wide, but there is nothing more valuable than glory and fame.
In the past two years, they have not seen even a heartfelt smile on Qingchuan's face, nor have they seen him go through even one disaster. He knows how to restrain his desires like a little adult, and every time someone sees Qingchuan, they will say that the upbringing of the Ren Wuyue family is really good, but only the two of them know that Qingchuan is not happy.
This is not a prosperous and prosperous era, let alone a peaceful movement, compared to the sacrifice of a child's nature, what is obtained behind this sacrifice is what this era and this family needs most.
Sacrificing one of him, but it can bring change and security to the entire family, Orange Light, as the patriarch of the Ren Wuyue family, can only silently insist on this can be called a cruel act.
And today, they were really very surprised, they saw a trace of uneasiness in Qingchuan's eyes, which was the uneasiness they were expecting.
"How...... What's going on? After all, Orange Light is the head of the family, and even more so their father, so he always has to put up a shelf, "It's all dust?" ”
As soon as Qingchuan wanted to apologize, Liu Qing stepped forward, "Brother Qingchuan and I went to dig out the birds' eggs." ”
Orange Light almost felt that there was something wrong with his ears, if Liu Qing said that there was a fight, or a wrestling or something, he would think it was normal. But digging birds' eggs...... Why does it sound so wrong, "dig ...... Eggs, do you mean you climb up trees to dig eggs? At this time, he suddenly realized that Qingchuan may have fallen and fell from a tree. His heart tightened, but the long-term strict attitude of his father made him unable to say those warm words for a while, but the expression on his face softened, and there was a deep concern in his eyes.
Miaoyin is not the patriarch, and she doesn't need to put on a strict father's shelf, she took Qingchuan into her arms with some distress, carefully checked his body, and patted the dust on his body for him.
When Qingchuan timidly stretched out his dirty hand and held a bird's egg tightly in his palm, when he faced him with panic and confusion, as if he had made a big mistake and was full of fear, Miao Yin burst into tears in an instant.
She hugged Qingchuan tightly, tears couldn't stop flowing out, she looked back at the orange light, and for the first time showed a different side.
"Enough!"
And the orange light, at this time there is only silence.
He looked at Liu Qing, who smiled and lowered his head.
