Chapter 11: Konoha on the Tip of the Tongue
Because of going to ninja school, Miwako often goes out to do tasks, and the supervision of Yuba is gradually released, and there is a lot more leisure time than before. On this day, I made an appointment to go to the dumpling shop with Hongdou to eat dumplings, Hongdou is a girl who likes dumplings very much, which makes Yuba very unconvinced, because he is an unswerving Yukino party...
Ahem, digress...
Three bites and two bites, all the dumplings on the skewers in his hands are stuffed in his mouth, and he doesn't care about the leaves next to him, and he smacks his mouth after eating, and the red beans look like he is still unfinished.
"By the way, you know what? When I officially became a shinobi, Lord Orochimaru said that he would accept me as an apprentice, hehe, envy, be careful, when my strength is surpassed, I will beat you flat! Red Bean raised his little fist and gestured excitedly.
"Orochimaru?" Yuba sighed, although he had long known that it would be like this, and he also knew what kind of ups and downs Red Bean would encounter in the future, but now he couldn't say it, and not only was it useless to say it, but Red Bean wouldn't believe it.
After getting along for such a period of time, Yuba felt that Red Bean was indeed a rare genius, not only his classmates, but even he himself was inferior to Red Bean's talent. But this seems to be contrary to the impression of the original.,Although the strength of the red beans in the original work is okay.,But it's hard to make people shine...
Combined with the understanding of the current red beans, Yuba finally understands a little, no matter what, she is also the only one among the countless geniuses of Konoha who was valued by Orochimaru and decided to accept him as an apprentice, and the only one who has inherited the curse mark of the sky and survived.
The reason why she didn't reach the height she should have been, maybe it was because the master Orochimaru she was about to worship in front of her had too heavy an impact on her...
Also, her own amount of equipment is not enough....
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade is a ninja who rose in the ninja world in World War II, and is known as Konoha Sannin.
For Yuha's generation, they have basically grown up listening to their legends. Their prestige in Konoha is very high, and if nothing else, be careful, if nothing else, the next Hokage should be produced from among them.
It is conceivable how proud it is for Red Bean to become a disciple of Orochimaru, so it is indeed understandable that she can't wait to show off to herself so eagerly...
But envy...
How could it be, it is undeniable that Orochimaru in this period is an extremely attractive person, and whether it is as a shadow-level powerhouse or a teacher, he is one of the best existences.
But he is too greedy and too ambitious...
Sooner or later, one day he will be swallowed up by his own ambitions, and then endanger the people around him...
This is what happened to the red bean in the original book, it is true that ambition can provide a person with the motivation to keep moving forward, but there is no endless ambition, it will only make you fall into it and can't extricate yourself.
It's just that Yuba really can't say anything, although Hongdou is one of the few friends who comes, but no matter who it is, he won't take to heart the words of a six- or seven-year-old child who hasn't seen much of the world.
"Do you admire Orochimaru-sama?" Yuba asked.
"Of course... I'm going to be a ninja like Orochimaru-sama in the future..."The blush on Azuki's face disappeared in a flash, well, it seems like it's more than just worship.
Yuba is not talking nonsense, asking himself, if the situation of the two people is reversed, Yuba will not be able to listen to other people's opinions, so he put it in his heart and wandered around with Xiao Hongdou in Konoha Village idlely.
Because of the post-war period, many of the shops in the village were newly built, and there were usually some discount promotions, which allowed Yuba and Azuki to take advantage of them, and even if they didn't have a lot of money, they could taste a lot of good things. Although for red beans, there is no problem as long as there are dumplings.
Speaking of Konoha famous snacks, how can you not mention Yile ramen, Yuye of Phoenix Temple has been longing for it for a long time, but it seems that the uncle of the previous store did not open a store in Konoha, which has always been a regret since he crossed over.
So every time I come out to play, I have to subconsciously look for a circle, and then today, I finally let him get caught...
The location of the ramen shop is not very remote, but surprisingly, the front door is very cold, and because of the new opening, there is not much popularity. Yuba walked in with red beans, and heard a very enthusiastic and rough voice.
"Welcome..."Yuye followed the prestige, saying that he was an uncle, but in fact, his current age is only in his thirties, although his eyes are not big, but his eyebrows are revealed, bold, and peaceful...
"Let's have two servings of ramen..."Yuba pointed to his face, and his expression was a little more expectant.
"I've eaten enough..."Hongdou's face was bitter: "And I don't have much money on my body..."
Uncle Ramen smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, you are the first customer since the opening, whatever you want to eat is all on me..."
"Hey, uncle, did your shop just open today?"
"Yes, I didn't think about opening a store before, but I still have a daughter at home, and her mother is a ninja who died in a mission not long ago, so she can only return to her old business..."
"Uncle, cheer up, your shop will definitely be famous in Konoha Village in the future..."
"Then I'll borrow your good words..."The uncle smiled and brought over the two bowls of ramen.
Yuba couldn't care about and comfort this rather frustrated uncle at this time. His senses of sight, smell, and taste were all fascinated by the ramen in front of him.
It's very tempting just from the outside, and Yuba couldn't help but taste the soup directly, and a lot of thought was put into the processing of the noodles, meat, and vegetables, which brought out their natural sweetness.
The soup is also sprinkled with fragrant and slightly bitter fried shallots, which is a wonderful combination. As I continued, it became Konoha on the tip of my tongue...
Yuba had to admit that he really deserved to be the ramen he had been thinking about for two lifetimes, and he really didn't disappoint him. Even if she keeps saying that she is full, girls can't eat too many red beans, and the chopsticks in her hand can't stop at this time...
It seems to be because of the aroma of ramen, or simply seeing two children gobbling up...
The business of the ramen shop has gradually become booming, and it is very different from when Yuba and the others came over just now.
Uncle Ramen really didn't take the money for Yoba and red beans, and thanked him well, and said that he would discount it next time he came.
Of course, Yuba gladly accepted it, and was very happy, watching the ramen shop business improve, why did he suddenly have the illusion of witnessing history?
I said I was shopping with red beans, but I actually came out to eat together...
It looks like dating, but in fact, according to Hongdou's personality and age, she's a tomboy at all...
No, after eating enough, he asked Yuba to fight very blindly, wanting to test his strength...
"As a disciple of Orochimaru-sama, of course, you have to be outstanding, so the first thing is to win against you..."
"Hey, hey..."Yuba waved his hand weakly, he was not a competitive guy: "Count if you win, if you really want to compete, go find someone else's Kakashi..."
"Humph! You guy give me some motivation, you're my admitting opponent... As for Kakashi, although I'm not as good as him now, but with Orochimaru-sama's teachings, both you and him will be left behind by me..."
"Come on, then..."Yuha grinned, and then a "poof" turned into a puff of white mist.
Leaving the stunned red bean on the spot, then reacted and stomped his foot: "When is this bastard... Damn it... Don't even think about running next time..."
On the other side, Yuba, who was walking on the commercial street, suddenly had a short memory in his mind...
The technique of shadow clone is a relatively high-end ninjutsu that Yuba has just mastered, and as a traverser, of course he knows where this technique is practical. And the blood succession with the Uzumaki clan is very good, so when Miwako wanted to teach Yuba ninjutsu, he chose this without hesitation.
Living in a comfortable Konoha Village, coupled with the fact that he is still young, he doesn't have to fight with people at all, he doesn't need any lethal ninjutsu, the shadow clone can also assist in cultivation, and the development potential is also huge, and it is easy to learn, although now Yuba can only barely divide a clone, but it is enough to use. It's just killing birds with one stone...
Well, when the red bean opened his mouth to say the competition just now, Yuye escaped by urine, and when he pretended to go to the toilet, he separated a shadow clone, of course he couldn't see anything at the current level of the red bean, and he was still confused now, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was.
