"It's been a long time since I've been back, and the village has changed a lot." Ming squatted on a telephone pole on Konoha Street, looked around the village, found that many shops had been renovated, and sighed, "But everything here is still quite nostalgic." ”

"Hey, are you still doing it? Don't hurry down yet! Jing saw that the pedestrians around her were looking at them, and vaguely heard some laughter, her face was a little hot, and she really wanted to pretend that she didn't know this guy who had just returned to the village and ran to the telephone pole.

"Don't you think it's particularly ceremonial to look down on the village from a telephone pole?" Ming stood up, put the whole person into a cross, and shouted loudly: "The scenery of the moon here is like a turning point in fate, it is really pleasant!" ”

Jing couldn't stand Ming's middle two appearance, so she took out an empty scroll and threw it on. The scroll smashed on Ming's head, and it actually blew him up.

"Shadow clone? When did it happen? Jing returned to the ground and looked at Hyo with some confusion, "Wasn't he with us all the way?" ”

"When I was in the Land of Waves. When he dodged your attack in an instant, and when he reappeared next to me, he was already a shadow clone. Xiao spread his hands, "Ming said that the team's movement speed was relatively slow, and that the intelligence was urgent and could not be delayed, so he left first. ”

"Wow, let us be bait! You can really do filial piety, and you hide it from me with him. Jing raised her eyebrows, but didn't pay attention to it, "Since he's already gone to the Hokage's office, we don't have to report it, right?" ”

"Hmm. In addition, let me tell you, don't take on long-term tasks in the near future. Takashi pointed in the direction of the yakiniku Q and said, "I said that when Kakashi-sensei came back, I would invite our first class to eat yakiniku." ”

"Barbecue!" Jing's pair of black eyes were faintly glowing green, and when it came to Konoha's barbecue restaurant, it had to be said that the roast Q was the barbecue. This restaurant is different from ordinary barbecue restaurants, and the grilled meat Q here pays more attention to the original flavor of the meat, so it is not over-marinated. The best meat is grilled over a barbed wire fence and then dipped in sauce, and every bite is full of the original flavor of beef.

Although Yakiniku Q also offers seafood ingredients such as salmon, tuna, scallops, or more affordable pork platters. But only the special beef of the Land of Thunder is the favorite of the Konoha people.

Like Jing especially likes to eat beef tongue, the thinly sliced beef tongue of roast meat Q is full of meat, and the thin beef tongue is tasted by lemon, and the taste is excellent. Hyo prefers the textured beef dice meat, which is grilled until there is still a little blood and water, and the melt-in-your-mouth feeling is perfect. As for Ming, he is not so particular, and he is not taboo, so he eats whatever he wants.

——

Half a month later, Shizun met Kakashi on the street. Without saying a word, she grabbed Kakashi's wrist and was about to pull it into the roast Q, and then pressed Kakashi to the seat, making Kakashi look confused.

Jing blocked the seat next to Kakashi, picked up a strand of hair hanging down his cheeks, made a weak and pitiful appearance, and said aggrievedly, "Kakashi-sensei, I have looked for you several times, and you have said that something is wrong. That bad guy said, if I can't invite you today, I won't be invited to eat beef tongue, woo woo..."

"I really have something to do with Ming's promotion in the past few days, and he didn't tell you?" Kakashi looked at Shizu's sad look of tears, and rubbed his aching wrist again, really helpless.

"Special forbearance? You are hiding such a big thing from me. Jing turned her head to stare at Ming, with an expression of wanting to swallow Ming alive, and asked viciously: "Why did I say that the Ming class was suddenly established and you were asked to be the captain." It turns out that you just transferred back, and you were promoted to special forbearance? ”

"I was able to be promoted to Special Shinobi, and I have to thank Kakashi-sensei for his recommendation, so I told you that I must invite the teacher over." Ming Kakashi smiled, then turned to the clerk and said, "Miss Sha Chiko, we are all here, let's serve a beef platter first, and a cold dish platter." For drinks, mango lactic acid soda, right? Add another pair of cutlery, and order the rest later. ”

"Who else is coming? Every day? Jing looked at Ming with some doubts, she didn't mind much, Ming set a six-seater, and two more people were fine. But if you don't know someone, you may be a little restrained.

"It's not every day, she has to train until late today." After Ming finished speaking, he left his seat in an instant, and when he came back from outside, there was another girl beside him. This girl has pink hair, who else can there be but Sakura Haruno?

"When you asked Kakashi-sensei over, didn't you notice that there was a tail behind it?" Ming grabbed Sakura's wrist and pulled her to the seat, "It's all people I know, so it's not good to pretend I didn't see her." ”

Sakura's face was flushed at this time, her hand was grabbed by Ming, and she couldn't run away if she wanted to. She shouldn't have promised Naruto and Sasuke to come and follow Kakashi, a decadent uncle without makeup under his mask, what could she look like? Curiosity kills the cat, Kakashi's true face was not seen, but was caught by the sudden appearance of Ming.

"Since you are someone you know, why are you still like a thief, and you still don't let go of others?" Seeing Sakura's nervous appearance, Shizuki sneered and moved to Kakashi's side, vacating the seat next to him, "Everyone is a student of the teacher, so don't be too restrained." Today can be regarded as a celebration of Ming's promotion to Shangnin, so you can also sit down and eat together. ”

"Shangshinobi?" Sakura's eyes widened and she looked at Akira incredulously. Ming is only two terms older than her, and now she is about to be promoted to Shangnin?

"It's a special shinobi, and the information collected this time is of great value, so the mission level was assessed as S-level, and with Kakashi-sensei's recommendation, I was barely promoted." Ming waved his hand and said humbly: "There is still a big gap between me and an elite forbearance like the teacher." ”

"It's just that you haven't been in the village for too long, and the number of tasks you have completed is not much, otherwise it is not impossible to be directly promoted to Shangnin." Kakashi supported his side face with one hand, and tapped the table with the other hand rhythmically, "The move you defeated and didn't slash Bing Dun should belong to the Blood Inheritance Limit, right?" There's no snow around. ”

"Ice escape?" This time it was Jing's turn to be surprised, she didn't see Ming He's battle again, "I remember that Bing Dun is a combination of Water Dun and Wind Dun, right?" Have you mastered the three nature changes? ”

"The dishes are all served, what are you still doing in a daze?" Ming didn't answer, just brushed a layer of salad oil on the preheated grill and grilled the beef short ribs seriously.

Seeing that Sakura sitting opposite was still stunned, he sandwiched a piece of grilled beef short ribs for her and explained the skills of barbecue: "The charcoal fire is the most suitable for barbecue at the beginning when the fire is very strong, and bite-sized pieces of meat like beef short ribs can be grilled quickly until medium rare, which is the most delicious." During this period, you only need to turn the dough once, that is, when one side changes color about a third..."

"If you don't cut it, it's also a ninja sword seven, right? How does it compare to the Black Hoe Thunder Fang? Xiao only roasted the beef tendon until it was medium-cooked, sprinkled it with pepper and salt, and put it in his mouth.

"If the Black Hoe Thunder Tooth and Taodi don't kill two people, they haven't exerted their full strength, so it's not easy for me to judge." Ming swallowed the food in his mouth, thought for a moment and added, "But if you talk about physical art alone, maybe you don't want to be better." ”

"Black hoe thunder fang? The time you went on a solo mission? Kakashi was still wearing a mask, but there was a lot less beef tenderloin in the platter," said Kakashi, who also had some doubts in the mission report submitted at that time. With white-eyed long-range reconnaissance, even if you are discovered, you will not be unable to retreat. ”

"I'll explain that." Hyo put down his chopsticks and talked about the battle at that time.

——

The insulated wooden stick used by Ming is wrapped in bamboo chips on the outside, and the inner core is made of extremely tough ox tendon wood, which is about thirteen pieces in length, which is slightly longer than the thunder knife of Lei Ya.

Seeing a large range of Thunder Escape Thunder Tooth, blocked by a strange-looking beckoning cat, Thunder Tooth concentrated the Thunder Attribute Chakra to the top of the Thunder Knife, and released a thunderball to shoot at Ming who rushed over.

Although Ming's weapon does not conduct electricity, he does not dare to catch the thunderball hard. After all, there is inevitably water in the gap between the composite sticks, and when it is hit by a powerful lightning escape, the internal pressure generated by the evaporation of the internal water is enough to form a strong mechanical force to break the wooden sticks from the inside. Fortunately, the thunderball doesn't turn, and it's not very difficult to dodge.

Coupled with the fact that Jing and Xiao flashed out from behind the mourning darkness from time to time, and used the shuriken to contain it slightly, the pressure on Ming was even less. After dodging two thunderballs again, he came to Thundertooth.

Thunder Tooth, known as the Seven Ninja Swords, is naturally also a good physical skill, and the Thunder Knife is a weapon with both offense and defense, so he is naturally not afraid to fight with people in close combat. Moreover, Lei Ya is in the prime of life, Kong Wu has strong leg muscles, and he already has a lot of advantages. Immediately, the blade turned and slashed towards Ming's head.

Seeing the thunder teeth attacking his head, he immediately swung the forefoot of his left foot outward, shifted the center of gravity of his body to his left foot, and the toe of his right foot retreated slightly, forming a right forward virtual step. At the same time, the right hand lifts the stick upwards, the left hand is downward, and the two hands pull left and right to push the stick forward. With a move of "shepherd boy pulling bamboo shoots", the oblique stick handle will resolve the attack of Thunder Tooth.

The shuriken thrown by Jing also followed at the right time at this time, so that Lei Ya had to put away the knife to protect his face. Ming grasps the gap, steps forward with his right foot and bows his knee, and pushes forward with his left leg to move into a right lunge. The left hand is loosened, the right hand picks the stick, a style of "Arhat sweeping", and obliquely splits the calf of the thunder tooth.

As the saying goes, "look at the hand with a single knife, look at the hand with a double knife", no matter what kind of knife method Lei Ya practiced, if you want to exert all your strength, in addition to the coordination of your hands, you are also indispensable to the reasonable cooperation of various steps of the lower limbs. If the pace is stiff and the gait is unsteady, even if the upper limbs are good at knife play, it is difficult to have the power of double knives.

And the person behind Lei Ya is his biggest flaw. Although the man on his back was able to hide his eyes and seemed to have excellent insight, his presence also limited Thunderya's movement - after all, Thundertooth was carrying a sleeping bag instead of an iron pot, and if the shuriken pierced it, it would also be dead.

In the next few minutes, Ming was not greedy for merit, and steadily attacked Thunder Tooth's next game; Jing and Xiao crossed the top of Ming's head and kept throwing their shurikens at Black Fang's upper body, and the cooperation of the three made Lei Ya extremely annoyed.

But Thunder Tooth didn't have a way to break the deadlock, if it was just him, as long as he opened Thunder Escape, he could ignore the attacking shuriken, slap the imp in front of him in three or two, and then clean up the other two mice hiding next to the beckoning cat.

Due to the man in the sleeping bag, Thundertooth couldn't fill his whole body with thunder and lightning. It's just that if he continues to consume like this, once the person behind him can't continue to use the pupil technique, he really won't be able to deal with these people, or let these little ghosts go first.

Although Lei Ya was reluctant to retreat, the offensive in his hand did not stop, after all, retreating is not about turning around and running, it is necessary to find an opportunity. I saw him smash again, hitting Ming's head.

Ming's right arm bends his elbow to move the stick to the left, and then his left hand catches the stick, and his hands work together to make a move upwards to "arrange the flower cover" to block the thunder knife in front of the head. Because of the difference in strength, Ming had to squat on both legs when blocking, and used a small horse step to unload the force, which seemed to leak a flaw.

There are flaws! Seeing the opportunity, Lei Ya wanted to use the few raised spikes on the thunder knife to prepare to hook Ming's wooden stick.

But he saw that his body turned 45 degrees to the left, his left hand slid the handlebar, and his right hand was raised, as if he was going to take the opportunity to pull down the foot of Zareya.

Lei Ya was happy in his heart, he was about to retreat and hook, isn't this tie in the middle? He couldn't help but sneer, his left leg retreated, and his hands took advantage of the retreat, and he hooked the wooden stick to the left with force.

Unexpectedly, when Lei Ya retreated, he let go of the wooden stick with both hands and touched his waist, and at the same time, his right leg kicked back with all his might, and the whole person burst to the right side of Lei Ya. He actually wanted to bypass Thunder Fang and wait for an opportunity to attack the person behind him.

At this time, Lei Ya's left foot had not yet touched the ground, and the double knife was shifted to the left, and he could no longer take care of the right side. But Lei Ya has rich experience in actual combat, and the moment his left foot hits the ground, he is forced to turn around, and the thunder knife slashes to the right. As long as the person behind him is not harmed, even if he is allowed to exchange injuries for injuries, it is acceptable.

It's just that what awaits Thunder Tooth is not kunai, but a dazzling thunder light. After Ming entered the blind spot of Lei Ya's perspective, he didn't continue to go around behind Lei Ya at all, but made an emergency stop to stabilize his body; The hands that touched the waist were not to hold the forbearance, but to complete the seal in one second; The moment his left hand surrounded the dazzling thunder light, the whole person kicked on the ground and attacked the thunder fang.

"The guy behind you does have a nice pair of eyes." Although the protective gear of Ming's right hand was split by the Thunder Knife, and the Thunder Knife was embedded in Ming's arm, leaving a deep wound, Ming's left hand of Lei Dun Rache also penetrated Thunder Ya's left chest, "But I'm still a chess player." Even though he told you that you couldn't turn around, you turned around to protect him. ”

——

“... In the end, the child who was carried by Lei Ya was sent to the shelter of the underworld organization, and he settled down temporarily, and the sorrel gold mountain mission was completely over here. By the time Takashi finished telling Sakura the story of Thunder Ya, the few of them had eaten about the same.

"It's a pity that after I came back that time, Ming couldn't take the Zhongnin exam because of an arm injury." Jing put the last slice of roast beef tongue into her mouth, drank the drink in the cup, and said regretfully: "If I had become a middle ninja half a year earlier, maybe... I'm also a shinobi now. ”

If he had taken the Zhongnin exam half a year earlier, would Ming still be favored by the Daimyo of the Fire Country and be summoned to the national capital with a letter of appointment? If Ming hadn't gone to the national capital, she might have... Jing wiped the oil from the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but think about some what ifs.

"Speaking of the middle ninja exam, this year's middle ninja exam is almost here, right? Sakura-chan, are you going to join Class 7? Ming Zhao asked the waiter to settle the bill, and asked seemingly casually.
