Chapter 17: The Valley of the End
"Ding Ci, why did you come here!" Ino looked unhappy.
"I temporarily asked the store to pack 5 cups of iced fruit tea, so I came late." Ding Ji explained with a smile, and he looked at the little friend brought by Ino in front of him.
One of the girls is particularly eye-catching, her long pink hair is soft and fine, she ties a butterfly with a ribbon on her head, and her turquoise eyes are flashing, unlike Ino's big sister, this girl is unusually quiet and looks delicate and cute.
"Is that the fruit tea you sell in your gourmet house?" Ino instantly raised his voice. "If I hadn't had to wait in line all the time, I would have wanted to try it." Ino walked over directly and took the fruit tea that Ding Ji had packed.
"It's just sold at the counter of the food house, so pay attention to the difference." Ding Ci emphasized.
"Okay, okay, it's all the same!" Ino opened the bag as he spoke, and quickly distributed 5 cups of fruit tea to the other friends, then inserted the straw and took a sip of it beautifully, and then suddenly remembered something.
"Dingji, this is Sakura-chan, I mentioned it to you before." Ino pointed to the little girl next to him and introduced it to Ding Ji.
"Thank you for the fruit tea!" Sakura's face was slightly red, and she bowed her head in response.
"It's nothing, this one in your hand is kumquat lemon tea, one of the most classic pairings, try it." Ding Ji has long heard of Haruno Sakura, as the only woman in the seventh class in the Hokage world, the girl Naruto Uzumaki has always liked, Haruno Sakura 3 words have their own stories and legends, and now Sakura is just a shy little girl who follows Ino, but Ding Ji thinks that this kind of Sakura is even more endearing.
"Hey, Dingji, look over here." Ino's voice sounded again, and Ding Ji looked down at a child with red inverted triangle patterns on both cheeks, wearing a gray sweatshirt, and was fighting with a very cute white-haired puppy.
"This is the tooth of the Inuzuka family." Ino introduced again.
"Hey, Ya, this cup of fruit tea is for you, it is specially made by Ding Ci's family."
The child didn't raise his head, took the fruit tea, handed it to the white-haired puppy, and said, "Akamaru, taste it!" ”
Watching the puppy Akamaru suck the fruit tea in one gulp, Dingji and Ino were speechless for a while.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Akamaru is my younger brother, it's the same for him to drink as for me." Tooth seemed to realize that something was wrong, and looked up to explain, his hand touching the back of his head, and then stroking the head of the white-haired puppy, who made a cooperative whining of enjoyment.
"Uh..." The scene suddenly turned cold.
"Ding Ci, don't worry about it, the Inuzuka family is one beast." The deer pill next to him came out to play a round game.
"It's fine." Ding Ci smiled and waved his hand. "Can we go?"
"Of course, let's go, it's time." Ino came back to his senses, his hands on his hips, his head held high, one arm stretched out and pointing forward. "Target-Valley of the End, go!"
************************
Valley of the End.
Legend has it that the Thousand Hands Pillar, who unified the ninja world, and Madara Uchiha, the peerless powerhouse of the Uchiha clan, swore a joint oath here to establish Konoha Village, and the valley is formed by large rocks on both sides, with a wide waterfall in the middle. To commemorate the contributions of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan to the village, the villagers of Konoha carved huge statues on both sides of the waterfall, the strongest of the two families, standing facing each other and posing as a seal of reconciliation, symbolizing the peace and prosperity of Konoha Village.
Ding Ci and his party walked to the foot of the Valley of the End, and looked up, the huge rock statue, the lifelike statue face, especially the fingers of the "Seal of Reconciliation" stood high like the tips of two straight mountains.
"This is the power of the first generation and the Uchiha!"
Ding Ci clenched his fists and couldn't help himself, feeling the huge momentum of the statue. Thinking back then, the Thousand Hands Pillar and Uchiha Madara unified the ninja world, and sealed the tailed beast, how domineering, what a majesty, it is no exaggeration to say that a considerable part of the current ninja world pattern comes from the personal philosophy of the Thousand Hands Pillar, and then Uchiha Madara fought in the Valley of the End because of the disagreement with the Thousand Hands Pillar, and the Uchiha was defeated.
Is it ridiculous that the winner is dead, but the loser is still alive? Now Ding Ci has no answer.
"Ding Ci, what are you in a daze?" Dingji's shoulder was pushed hard by Ino.
"Sakura and I didn't come here to just play, look, this is the lunch box we brought." As he spoke, Ino opened his small backpack and pulled something out.
"Shikamaru, Ya, you guys come over to help too." Like a little commander, Ino began to assign the little boys to work.
Shikamaru wore a black T-shirt and brown shorts today, with his hands in his trouser pockets, pouting, and a troublesome expression.
Want Want!
Ya also came over, and the puppy Akamaru squatted on his head, making two noises from time to time.
"You spread out this blanket, and then take out all the food and set it up neatly." Ino said as she looked at the three little boys, her eyes full of seriousness, and she was still pointing at the contents of her backpack.
"What about you?" Ding Ci asked more.
Ino smiled and pulled Sakura, who had her head down, from behind. "Of course, Sakura and I climbed to the top of the mountain, eating lunch boxes and watching the sunset!"
"What a wonderful scene that was!"
Ding Ji didn't bother to pay attention to Ino, who was caught in fantasy, and opened a corner of the stall with Shikamaru.
"Then it's decided, Sakura and I will go to the top of the mountain first." Ino looked smug.
The Valley of the End is not something that can only be jumped on by ninjas, it can be climbed from the stairs on both sides, but it is hidden in order to set off the two powerful ninjas.
"Akamaru, do you want to come with us?" Ino seemed to be very happy, leaving aside a group of little boys, and thinking that the puppy on the tooth head was particularly cute, he sent out an invitation.
The little white dog whined a few times and turned his head away.
"Hmph, I actually ignored Miss Ben's invitation. Let's go, Sakura-chan. Ino made a heavy nasal voice, pulled Sakura and began to climb the mountain, just a dog, she made up her mind to find a chance to clean up this faceless puppy.
"Hey!" Ding Ji lightly hit Shikamaru beside him with his arm. "What have you been doing lately?"
"The trouble is dead, my dad organizes my special training every day at home." Shikamaru replied.
"I didn't stop all day, but fortunately I was still able to play chess."
Ding Ci listened to it and was secretly amused. Shikamaru's father must know that Autumn Road has become his clan teacher, although Pig Deer Butterfly has always been a combination, but a little internal competition is inevitable, Ding Ji himself feels that the level of Autumn Road Wind is not ordinary, and it is impossible for Shikamaru's father not to know, so it is completely understandable to add some ingredients to Shikamaru at home.
"Oh, have you started refining chakra?" Ding Ci asked.
"Is this hard?" Shikamaru replied lightly.
"Of course it's not difficult. Have you started teaching that one yet? Ding Ci said with a smile, he meant something.
"I taught a little, and I can barely use it." The corners of Shikamaru's mouth curled slightly.
Ding Ji is naturally referring to the secret art of the Nara family, the shadow imitation technique. This ninjutsu was inconspicuous at first, just a control ninjutsu equivalent to 1 to 1, but with its derivation of the shadow twisting technique, shadow stitching technique, shadow tentacles, etc., especially the shadow imitation shuriken used by Shikamaru's father before, the power has skyrocketed, and it has completely developed from a control ninjutsu to a ninjutsu faction.
Shadow imitation technique, the use of wonderful, in one mind.
Ding Ji believes that the future Shikamaru will reach this level sooner or later.
"What about you? I heard my dad say that your family has invited a teacher of ethnicity to teach specially? Shikamaru turned the conversation to Dingji.
"What's the matter, it's Mr. Tofu, the elder of the family, I heard that he was a disciple of the second generation of Hokage-sama, which is very unusual." Ding Ji explained with a smile that he was extremely satisfied with the Akido Style, and his ninjutsu teaching was so high-minded that it was rare.
"The disciple of the second generation of adults...."Shikamaru hugged his chest with his left hand, and habitually touched his chin with his right hand. That's not ordinarily strong! ”
"Hey, what are you two muttering?" Ya had already taken all the food out of his bag and put it away.
He put Akamaru off his head, took a step forward, stretched out the thumb of his right hand, pointed to his chest and said, "Reacquaint, I'm Inuzuka Ya, I like to eat beef jerky and cartilage, and I will definitely become a powerful ninja in the future." ”
Publicity, confidence!
Ding Ci felt that there was a strong sense of good movement on the body of the teeth, or a family heirloom beast nature?
Without waiting for him and Shikamaru to speak, Yayi picked up the puppy beside him and continued: "This is Akamaru, it has a sense of smell that is tens of thousands of times more sensitive than ordinary people, and it will be up to me to track the enemy in the future!" ”
Tooth and Akamaru grinned at the same time. One is so strong, the other is cute.
"I'm Akido Dingji, and I like to study ninjutsu." Ding Ci said seriously.
"Nara Shikamaru, like..., uh... Hate girls and trouble. Shikamaru frowned, as if he had noticed a hint of discord.
"Ding Ci, don't all of your family like to eat?" Shikamaru still found out.
"I just don't like it."
“.......”
"Come, let's finish our lunch, and then let's go to the top of the mountain together to meet Ino and Sakura!" Tooth suggested.
"Good!" "Want Want!"
