Following.

As usual, Orochimaru got up early.

The rooms arranged by the embassy are relatively comfortable. The velvet bed, the clean and tidy bedding, and the light scent of freshener spray in the room can make any discerning guest find no reason to refute it. Of course, if you sleep on a pillow halfway, you have to think about the reason.

"I slept so comfortably!" As soon as I left the room, I heard the lively voice of Xunyi.

The little girl also got up early and changed into a sportswear, perhaps to exercise in the morning.

There was a sound of "brushing, brushing, brushing" in my ears, and I could see that in the courtyard behind the embassy, Kakashi was doing shuriken training, and in the open space on one side, Metaro was holding a brush and a paintfield in front of him, and he was dancing on the easel.

Ninjas are very hard, and if you want to become strong, then there is no room for lazy sleep.

"Was there an emergency last night?" Orochimaru thought for a moment and asked Xunyi.

Xun Yi glanced at Orochimaru and pouted: "No, everything is as expected by the team leader~ this night, everyone slept very comfortably." ”

She deliberately dragged out her tone on "Captain" to express her unconvinced heart.

"That's fine." Orochimaru nodded, "Change your clothes and go out with me." ”

"Huh? Why go out with you? The little girl frowned, her mouth cocked high, and the eldest did not want to.

"If you want to work under me in the future, you need to expand your experience." Orochimaru said, "People will grow up, and it is also good for you to see the outside world more and improve your horizons...... Your character, abilities, and actions don't seem to fit into the shadows. ”

"Hmm......"

Xunyi gritted his teeth and rarely did not refute.

Although he hated Orochimaru in his heart, he seemed to have some truth in what he said.

In the past, in the dark department, she was often talked about behind her back, saying that this woman came in according to her relationship, and if she didn't have the skin of the Hyuga family......

"Okay." Xunyi hesitated for a while and agreed.

After simply changing into civilian clothes, the two left the embassy and went out to "observe the people's feelings".

Wave City is the economic and cultural center of the country of grass. Walking on the street, you can see the architectural style and style of the city, surrounded by four- and five-storey buildings, shopping streets, office buildings, and residential areas...... It's almost like the American city of the early twentieth century on Earth, with people coming and going, and it's very noisy.

"How is this done?" Xun Yi was full of curiosity, and touched the wall of the building next to him, this material did not seem to be made of ordinary mud.

"This is cement, or concrete." Orochimaru explained.

"Cement? Concrete? It sounds familiar, and I remember my father telling me about it when I was a child. ”

"Concrete, a new type of cementitious material, is often used in the construction of buildings."

"Oh...... It's magical. ”

The two continued to walk for a while and came to a snack street.

"What is this?" Smelling the scent, Xunyi pointed to a small stall with round, moon-shaped food.

"It's called a pancake."

"Baked cakes? Is this edible? ”

"Yes."

"Oh...... Can it really be eaten? Doesn't have diarrhea, right? ”

"Absolutely."

"Then I'll try."

Xun Yi couldn't stop his appetite and bought a baked cake.

The cake was very hot, the little girl almost threw the cake out, she hurriedly handed the cake to her mouth, opened her small mouth and bit down, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she ate the cake in two bites.

"It's delicious." Xun Yi took the handkerchief handed by Orochimaru and wiped his mouth without any image.

"I didn't expect there to be such food in the world, it seems to be made of flour, and it tastes sweet."

"Of course, yakiniku is a specialty of the country of grass." "Every country has its own culture, and the food culture of the country of grass is the yakiniku. ”

"I see, but compared to Konoha's balls, it's still a bit of a gap."

“……”

Seeing Xun Yi Mei licking his lips, Orochimaru suddenly fell silent.

After a moment, he asked, "Don't you have common sense in these areas?" ”

"Uh, is that common sense?" Xunyi blinked with wide eyes.

At this time, she completely forgot that she was still hating Orochimaru before, because the moment she came out, the refresher of her world view made her have no time to think about anything else.

"What do you think?" Orochimaru asked rhetorically.

"Common sense...... However, I had never heard of the word 'baked cakes'. ”

"What about concrete? Didn't the ninja school tell you? ”

"Nope."

“……”

"Do you know the four arithmetic?"

"Four arithmetic? Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division? Of course I do. ”

"Then do you know the system of quadratic equations? Know x and y? ”

"X and Y? What is that? ”

"Do you know the relationship and difference between current and voltage in circuits?"

"Orochimaru, what the hell do you want to say? Why should I know that? I know what's the use of that! ”

“……”

Orochimaru suddenly felt-

Ninjas, in fact, are a very sad group.

Because he has mastered the power that ordinary people can't obtain, he has to pay a price in some way.

Including knowledge, including experience...... In this world, there are many geniuses who graduated from ninja schools at the age of six, eight, and ten, and the world will envy and praise them a lot, but correspondingly...... These people do not have the opportunity to receive an "education". Because in times of war, as soon as ninjas graduate, they have to devote themselves to the battlefield, and they have to fight with the enemy, and there is no extra time for them to squander their knowledge.

Orochimaru is accustomed to seeing the essence through phenomena.

What will the ninja school, the place where the Will of Fire transmit, teach these ninjas?

Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Chemistry? Nothing, the school will only teach them how to kill the enemy.

What Orochimaru just said is actually just a part of the nine-year compulsory education on the "earth".

However, Hinata doesn't know because she has no education......

She didn't even know what concrete, such a common sense thing, was.

Very sad. However, this little girl, she is not a minority, she represents a group, a group called "ninja".

Ninjas, perhaps, have to give them another word, called "literate illiterate".

Orochimaru was lucky. Because he opened the "mind" very early and knew what one should do.

Therefore, until now, he has never given up reading, has not given up learning new knowledge, he believes that only knowledge can change everything.

"Perhaps, the world needs to be baptized by a wave of information age."

Orochimaru muttered to himself.

"What are you muttering about?"

"I'm thinking, you better quit the shadows, this organization may not be for you."

"What? Want me to quit the shadows? No way! ”

"I'm seriously suggesting you."

"I know what you mean, don't you just want to say, I'm dragging the shadows? What's wrong with dragging my feet, I've also worked hard! ”

"No, you're mistaken, I mean...... It's the shadows that are holding you back. ”

“…… Clams? ”
