Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Sky Is Clear
For most Uchiha, April 1 was peaceful, as uneventful as any previous day. There are no sandwich biscuits made of toothpaste, no "kind reminders" about tying your shoes, and no confessions that are hard to distinguish between true and false.
A rain, a funeral, is too small for the whole day and night of the whole world!
If there is an April Fool's Day in this world, then Uchiha Shino will be more of the best joke! More! More people remember it!
Man's first death is the body, the second is the funeral, and the third time is oblivion!
Siye is actually very well remembered! But the idea of being remembered in this way, just an idea, is too blasphemous for the deceased, so this idea was abandoned by China as soon as it came up.
It's already dawn.
China opened her eyes lightly and looked at a corner of the sky that glowed with white light.
But suddenly I didn't want to get up.
I'm a little irritable for no reason, what a bad morning!
Qianna simply closed her eyes, turned sideways and rubbed in Suzu's arms, who were still asleep.
There will be no April Fool's Day! Until people in this era live a relatively stable life, there will be no purely entertaining festival like April Fool's Day!
Eventually, China got out of bed.
It's only halfway through the holiday, and Iwa says he's ready to return early!
Because of the injury, the report that Iwamoto was going to make with Shibuya was also taken by Shibuya alone.
"The captain must be busy during this time, and I have no reason to take a vacation with peace of mind!"
Iwa sighed before leaving home.
Although it was a helpless tone, it could be seen that Yan had an unusual sense of responsibility for the work of the patrol!
Autumn is going out with the rock.
"Take advantage of the sunny weather, please take out the clothes that change the season and dry them!"
"And China, don't run around! Wait for your mother to come back to cook in the evening, and I will visit Uncle Sichuan in a few days, and then you can play with your brother Biandu! ”
Before leaving, Cho admonished.
So it was natural for Qianna to sneak into Iwa's room while Suzu wasn't paying attention.
I've seen it many times before, with unobstructed furnishings, counters, closets, hangers, locked, large boxes...... They are all quite old furniture, not only the style is old, but even the red paint on it is mottled and old because of the age.
China walked straight to the center of the room and looked around the room, the two magatama turned silently, and the writing wheel eye was obviously very useful for observing details!
If it's rock, where will he hide something important?
China closed her eyes, and her mind reproduced the figures of one Uchiha Iwa.
Profile! It's not just Iwa's patent!
Rock that picks up a teapot and pours water, Rock that scratches his ears and cheeks while writing, Rock who picks up clothes from a hanger, Rock who stretches out against the window, Rock that looks for something in a big box......
Which one is it?
In China's mind, one after another Iwa's figures disappeared and were excluded! Only the last one remains!
This Uchiha Iwa seemed to be looking at something in his hand, and then closed it again.
China, who closed her eyes, stepped on the footsteps of this figure, and moved her steps gently, as if she was afraid of disturbing this figure.
The footsteps stopped, and China opened her eyes, and in front of her, there was a closet facing her!
"Is this it? According to the height, it should be this height. ”
Qianna muttered to herself, then stood on tiptoe and reached for a fumble at the back of the closet.
Really!
China's hand stopped in one place, and gently opened the door of the hidden compartment, and it was a wooden box!
When China opened the wooden box, she didn't rush to see what was inside, but carefully twisted up a hair that inadvertently fell out when she opened the box!
Qianna smiled slightly, Iwa is really cautious!
Soon, China knew why?
In addition to a few scrolls in the box, there is also some money, which should be the private money that Yan secretly saved!
Count it, huh! There are quite a few! Well, one more handle!
Carefully putting the money in its original position, China began to quickly flip through one scroll after another!
Uchiha Flowing Sword Technique, Uchiha Throwing Technique, Chakra Refining, Hao Fireball, Phoenix Fire Technique, Dragon Fire Technique, and Heroic Fire Extermination!
The power system of this world is a problem that cannot be ignored for China!
Chakra! In the original world, it was completely a supernatural energy, but according to China's division, there is no doubt that it belongs to biological energy! All that China can think of is the magic of Central Europe and the spells of the ancient East!
It is the existence of this energy that greatly raises the upper limit of the individual's strength! It also further strengthens the basic concept of respecting the strength of this world!
Uchiha's sword body and throwing skills are very instructive, and China is not good at using long weapons, compared to long knives and long swords, China prefers short and dexterous daggers, because they are better hidden in the crowd and are more suitable for grappling in small places! But in this day and age, going out with weapons is as common as eating and drinking!
And throwing details several special throwing techniques! But the shuriken weapon China has not been used, but it shouldn't be difficult to combine fluid mechanics, so maybe you can try it in the future!
The rest of the ninjutsu is very jerky to interpret, and it probably takes a lot of time to explore. But China didn't plan to learn it right away, and now she's just writing these shorthand in her head!
For this bunch of fire-breathing ninjutsu, the only thing that China wants to complain about is that they all have to be launched from their mouths!
It looks too much like spitting! Isn't water like spitting!
After jotting it down, China put her hair in it again and put the wooden box back in its place.
"Whew! China, what are you doing in Iwa's room? ”
Suzu's voice came from behind him, and China's body stiffened!
Suzu was standing at the door, and she shouldn't have seen the previous scene, thinking of this, Qianna suddenly breathed a sigh of relief!
Reassured, China tilted her head and acted cutely, with a little grievance in her voice!
"Sister Suzu! I'm just looking to see if there's anything fun! ”
Looking at China, who is trying to pass the test, Suzu feels that she should show her majesty as an elder and educate China well!
How? Belch...... Let's learn to cross the waist of Sister Qiu first!
"Ahem...... No way! China, you can't flip around! The room of the rock has something very important! ”
Suzu crossed her waist, so Qianna cooperated very well and made a look of standing with her head down!
"Woo~ I know......"
Suzu raised her head in satisfaction!
Adhering to the principle of carrots and sticks, she has changed back to the appearance of a caring little lady.
"Woo-hoo-hoo! China, come here, I'll tell you where Iwa hid all the fun! ”
Suzu beckons China to come to the locked big box like a thief! Double-fiddled with my hands!
With a snap, the lock opens!
Sena was a little surprised.
"Sister Ling is amazing!"
"Huh?" Suzu was a little embarrassed, "Actually, this lock is broken!" It opens with a single touch! Brother Yan doesn't know about it yet, and he uses the key every time! Hahaha! ”
"I see~ But how did the lock break?"
Suzu looked back and forth, left and right, and made sure that there was no one else in the house, before continuing: "I quietly told China, China can't tell others!" ”
"Uh-huh!" China's head is the same as a chick pecking rice!
"Last time, Sister Qiu took me to find Brother Yan's hidden private money, but Sister Qiu directly broke it, and the lock was broken!"
Qianna's brain made up that picture, it's terrifying!
Therefore, China decided not to report the matter of Iwazo's private money, which would definitely be killed!
Iwa has a lot of interesting things, some of which are useless, such as strangely shaped stones, conch and shells, paper boats, wooden swords, huh? This ceramic fragment is very lubricated and plump, and the pattern is quite good, and the original body should be worth a lot of money!
The boys' collections are really weird!
Others are very practical, such as files, mallets, small iron tongs, magnets, nails, thin needles, sheep intestines, tendon ropes...... There are also a few uneven glass mirrors, which are very useful after polishing.
When Qianna saw a piece of saltpeter the size of a human head, she couldn't calm down at all! Sitting in the room for so long without an accident? That's a miracle!
With Suzu watching from the side, China can't blatantly take away these things that look dangerous, so she can only wait for next time...... So China picked out a few stones and shells that looked more beautiful.
"I'll take it back to my room to play!"
While saying this, Qianna did not feel smooth at all, and walked straight out of the house.
The voice is very immature, but the face is dignified that does not match the voice!
China pondered for a night, whether those two spy ninjas were both from Senju?
Mr. once said that the real way to solve the last resort in the world is to stand from every angle and think about every possibility!
Everything that Mr. taught is very useful, so even if she goes to another world, China remembers it firmly! Facts are enough to prove that the former alarm clock has survived countless times!
In the end, China's answer is no!
Because there is another question, why the son of the patriarch?
The identity of the son of the Tajima patriarch is only useful when he is in the Uchiha!
When he becomes a bargaining chip for the foreign race to blackmail the Uchiha, then his identity is worthless!
According to China's guess, this Tajima patriarch of Uchiha will not compromise for the sake of chips that are neither the only son nor the eldest son! Rather than retreating, he is probably more inclined to go to war directly! Taking a step back, even if Tajima compromises, the Uchiha below will not agree, because it threatens their own safety!
But in Tajima's eyes, the hostile forces of the Uchiha would completely arrange such a mission! Because his son deserves to be done! And the patriarch of the other ninja sects, while getting the Uchiha bloodline, naturally hopes to be the son of Tajima!
But these are not from the position of those who carry out the task!
Solving the case and opening up the identity problem, the value of the patriarch's son is more focused on the Uchiha's blood inheritance boundary! But this value is also greatly reduced in reality!
The flesh and blood of the patriarch may be the strongest vein of Uchiha's bloodline, but the baby who has not yet awakened the writing wheel eye has left the Uchiha's growth environment, and without the Uchiha's secret technique, how far can this bloodline limit be played?
Probably because she doesn't have a sense of high and low, China doesn't think that such a child is different from ordinary Uchiha children.
So as a person on a mission, when faced with almost the same benefits, do you choose a high-risk patriarch or a low-risk civilian?
It must be the latter!
Because China herself will choose this way!
For example, a young Uchiha like China herself who has awakened the double hook jade will be the best choice!
After sorting these out, let's go back to the original question, why the son of the patriarch?
Because there is one person who is extremely familiar with the Uchiha patrol route and knows the whereabouts of the Uchiha patriarch!
Maybe it's an extremely effective plan, maybe it's a safe enough way out, in short, there is a high probability that the person induced the spy to steal the patriarch's son!
In this way, it can be determined that the person who gave the information is not the Uchiha, because he is a blood heir, and it is very likely that he will become the target of the other party's mission when trading!
This man doesn't belong to any family either! Stealing the patriarch's son, if this matter is not handled carefully, it will directly become the fuse for the war between the two ninja sects!
Now, it's only April!
Once the war starts, no matter who wins or loses the outcome, it is completely conceivable that under the cleansing of large-scale ninjutsu, those farmlands affected by the war are doomed to be lost! Without summer harvest and autumn harvest, in this food-scarce Warring States era, it is like a catastrophe!
By the time they found out that the rewards in this war were far less than the sacrifices, the land was in ruins! Either side is eager to make up for the losses in the war with childbearing, and it will also face a situation where there is not enough food to feed the newborns, which will lead to long-term weakness.
The worst result is that after the war, they have to grab benefits from other forces, and the rest of the ninja sect takes advantage of the fire to rob, which leads to a new round of war, and this whirlpool will get bigger and bigger, sweeping more and more lives, out of control!
Make waves! I'm afraid that the ninja world will not be chaotic! How could such a person sell information to only one family?
Senju and another ninja sect that has not yet been determined! Did you actually cooperate with such a person?
China stopped.
In front of him was a deserted house, and there was no sign of people around.
"What a secluded place! No wonder they chose to flee from this direction. ”
The small bushes outside the house were yellow, the marks left by the fire, the rotten wood that had been split, the dents on the threshold, all of which showed that this was the place where the rock had encountered the spy.
The bloodstains were all cleaned up by the patrol, and this was the only thing left!
Qianna sighed softly, too much time has passed, and it rained again yesterday, so I basically can't deduce anything. If you come a few days earlier, you might still be able to get something.
"It's getting sluggish!" China had to come to terms with this fact. "Forget it, let's go back!"
Qianna can't help but reflect, is it because of the fact that her heart yearns for that kind of stable and stable life, so she subconsciously feels that she is living in a peaceful and prosperous world, so she is not sensitive enough to such things?
But it's over anyway, isn't it?
China asked herself.
The spy has been caught, and the Uchiha's bloodline has not been lost.
Patriarch Tajima is also trying his best to adjust to the leakage of information.
Two spies were killed and one was wounded, and foreign affairs were also a headache for the patriarch.
All that's left is a spy with no family background.
These have nothing to do with themselves, with Iwa and Qiu.
So what are you doing here? to confirm the danger of that spy? Or do you want to unravel some conspiracy? Or do you use these traces to remind yourself that you can no longer enjoy that comfort with peace of mind?
Probably the latter!
China looked up at the sky, magnificent and bright!
Huh? Am I living under the sun?
A hand patted China's shoulder without warning!
Qiannai's face turned pale suddenly! Alarm bells in my heart!
An extremely dangerous premonition came over us!
When exactly did this person come to me?
"I remember seeing you yesterday, your name is China, right?"
A sweet and soft voice came from behind China.
When it falls into China's ears, it's like an eerie ghost!
"You, what are you doing here alone?"
