Chapter 36: Emotions and Choices
Lu Ming looked at the young man in front of him and sighed that he was really heartbroken for this sister.
"What's your name, little friend?"
"My name is Senju Rope Tree, and please don't call me a child, I'm a man who is about to become a ninja, and the Hokage is my dream!"
A burning dream, looking at the boy with a bright smile, Lu Ming seemed to see a copy of Naruto appear in front of him.
Thousand Hands, this surname that used to be glorious in Konoha is very different from the situation of the Uchiha, the people of the Thousand Hands Clan are now withering greatly, and it is basically difficult for you to see a few members of the Thousand Hands Clan in Konoha, the so-called full moon is a loss, and the prosperity of things is declining.
And the current situation of Konoha Village depends on the shadow brought by these two men named Thousand Hands, the first generation of Hokage Thousand Hands Pillar, and the second generation of Hokage Thousand Hands.
And after two generations, the position of the Hokage will fall to the thousand-armed princess who is addicted to gambling not far away, all of which seems to be a joke played by fate.
Looking at the inheritance necklace hanging around the neck of the Thousand Hand Rope Tree, Lu Ming somehow felt a trace of regret, it is true that it is a fool to want to be the Hokage, but this is also their belief.
And the people who become Hokage basically don't end well, Mizumon is like this, and Tsunade is like this.
Kishimoto gave Tsunade a sad life, first with the death of Rope Tree, then by Kato, and finally in the half hundred years after becoming the Hokage, even Jiraiya was killed in battle.
And that phrase 'Hokage is my dream' is like a loud slogan that runs through the entire Hokage, and it also makes her break down again and again, and in the end she becomes Hokage herself.
Family, love, friendship, after watching them leave one by one, what is the point of being the Hokage to her, in order to inherit their dreams, maybe not, or just want to miss them.
In the original book, Lu Ming has always been haunted by Jiraiya's death, always thinking that if he had confessed to Tsunade earlier, then at least the reader's heart would have less regret.
Shaking his head, he really has the potential to be a nanny, and he is too idle.
"Then the future Hokage-sama, please take care of your sister and tell her that the money doesn't have to be returned, and I will go back too." After staying for a long time, Lu Ming felt that it was almost time to go back to dinner, stood up and gave the boy a symbolic admonition, and walked straight out of this impetuous and decadent place.
Senju Rope Tree watched this amiable big brother leave, and suddenly had a feeling that the other party seemed to know himself and his sister, and every word and deed was kind, this strange feeling was only fleeting, and Rope Tree was sure that he had never seen this big brother before.
"What's the matter, rope tree, go back."
"Sister, why is it so fast?" Rope Leaf, who was interrupted by Tsunade's voice, came back to his senses and asked suspiciously.
"It's only 1,000 taels, and I'll lose it all in one handful! Ay. Tsunade sighed and said rather disappointed.
If Lu Ming heard that his luck for half an hour would be enough for this person to lose, it is estimated that he would be speechless for a long time.
"By the way, what about the guy who just lent me money?"
"That big brother is gone."
Tsunade suddenly felt happy in his heart, it's great, and the money doesn't have to be returned.
Rope tree looked at his happy sister, sighed, and the other party didn't say that he wanted her to pay it back, forget it, let's not say it.
And when the sisters and brothers went out, everyone's eyes looked at them with a hint of reverence in addition to helplessness, which may also be the last glory left by the Thousand Hands Clan......
……
At dinner, Tanaka Chuan chatted with Lu Ming, and inadvertently asked Lu Ming where he had gone in the morning, Lu Ming naturally pushed everything onto Watergate and their bodies perfunctory, this kind of thing is really inappropriate to talk to Tanaka's father, and it is estimated that he will worry about it again.
So Lu Ming turned the topic to the business of Tanakagawa bento shop, and talked about some common marketing insights and sales methods in his previous life.
It's just that what Lu Ming didn't know was that of course when he closed the door later, Tanakagawa sighed leisurely.
When I went to the izakaya today, I overheard the news that the genius boy had defeated the Uchiha, and he listened to it because he was interested, but when he finally learned the name of the genius boy, he was very surprised, and his first reaction was not doubt, nor pride, but worry.
When Tanakagawa confirmed with the man again and again, he also confirmed that this young man was indeed his current son Tanaka Lu Ming, who would have thought that the hairy kid who delivered him food a few months ago would become a genius boy who defeated Uchiha in a blink of an eye, such a contrast brought Tanakagawa only deep worries.
He is becoming more and more dazzling, and he is not worthy of this father.
Looking at Lu Ming's room, Tanakagawa lit another cigarette after a long absence, and let the smoke linger......
Lu Ming, who was lying in the room, naturally didn't notice the changes in Tanakagawa, his heart was thinking about the future route at this time, thinking that when he first arrived in this world, he was just thinking about how to mix in Konoha in a low-key manner, and then learn the ability to protect himself.
But now it backfires, he has no power and strength to bar the Uchiha, in this Konoha Village with a complicated heart, such an embarrassing situation is actually very fatal, so he must quickly improve his combat power in the shortest possible time, maybe this idea is extreme, but he really doesn't have time to wait slowly and leisurely until it comes to fruition, although that is the most reasonable plan.
Thinking about the means he has now, the pills that can be developed in one hand, the yin escape that needs to be developed in the other hand, and the physical skills are also okay, it seems that the skill points are very average, so the next thing is to continue like this, and choose a main attack, this problem has actually been thought about by Lu Ming for a long time, but he didn't make up his mind at that time.
'Demon Martial Dual Cultivation' sounds awesome, but in fact, as an adult, Lu Ming also knows that the energy spent on this route must also be doubled, and this method can easily cause that kind of high and low results, which is also the most tangled point of Lu Ming.
In his heart, of course, he hopes that he is not a shortcoming in any aspect, he can be long-range, he can be close, he can output, he can defend, it sounds like it is perfect, who doesn't want that?
Just like you can't just ask the horse to run and not let him eat grass, if you want to get a hundredfold return, first you have to pay a thousand times, and people will subconsciously ignore this second half of the sentence.
The choice is sometimes really difficult.
As the minutes passed, Lu Ming stared straight at the ceiling in a daze, motionless, and the two thoughts kept intertwining in his mind.
Finally, as if he had decided the winner, he closed his eyes and said to himself, "Since you can't give it up, let's live together."
It's like solving a major matter, a heavy stone in my heart hits the ground, and drowsiness hits me, and I'm really tired today.
