"Ningci? …… Ningci! ”

Every day, I once again reminded Ning Ci, who had been careless about doing tasks in the past few days, hoping that he would cheer up.

Although Hinata Ningji has a pair of all-white eyes all year round, even if he is tired, he will not be bloodshot if he stays up late.

But his tired state was beyond words, and even Xiao Li, who was the most arrogant, asked Ning Ci many times if he hadn't slept well.

"Come on, everyone! After completing this weeding mission, I will personally pick up a C-level mission out of the village for our third class with Hokage-sama. ”

The instructor of the third class, Shinobu Maitkai, encouraged him beside him.

It's no wonder why Konoha has been succeeded by generations of talents, and like this, a shinobi is specially asked to accompany three new shinobi to do D-class tasks for a month in a row.

Unthinkable in other ninja villages.

Of course, like some barren villages, there are simply not so many low-level tasks for new ninjas to practice.

"Stop touching me every day, put away your talisman papers. I didn't fall into evil and I didn't fall into illusion. ”

Ning Ci finally couldn't help but slap Tian Tian, who had a messy ghost drawing talisman with an unknown function written on his body.

"Xiao Li, don't use illusions to deseal anymore... If I had fallen for the illusion, you might have strengthened it. ”

Ning Ci turned his head and said to Li Luo, who was jumping up and down beside him.

"So what's wrong with you?" Every day, Xiao Li and the two said in unison.

"You shouldn't call you these days, and you don't pay attention to people when you pinch you." There are some grievances every day.

"That's it! I have been dealing with you in the past few days, and you are also very perfunctory. Xiao Li was a little indignant.

"I've been hit by the most powerful escape technique in the world," Ning Ci glanced at Maite Kaidao, who was silently continuing to exercise beside him.

"What kind of retreat?" The two companions, the second monk, were confused.

"Mouth slip."

"What's that?"

"It's a technique that can defeat a powerful opponent just by talking."

……

"Cut!"

Feeling that they had been deceived again, Tian Tian and Xiao Li turned around and took care of themselves and started farm work.

The sun rises and sets, and the grass and trees are prosperous and withered.

After receiving the bounty from the farmer's wife, Maitkai led Tian Tian Ningji and Xiao Li back to Konoha Ninja Village.

On the way back to the village, Hinata Ninji looked at the wall of Konoha Village, which was getting higher and higher in his sight, and suddenly asked Maitkai.

"Teacher, why do we always see only the farmer's wife, and not the farmer's husband, come to us to pay us the bounty?"

"That's because the farmer is supervising the work in the farmland farther away from Konoha Village." Maitkai replied.

"Overseer?" Li Luo was a little puzzled.

"It's because it's not ninjas who work for him there, but ordinary people, right?" Ning Ci thought of something and continued to ask Maitkai.

"Yes."

"Why does the farmer want to hire both ordinary people and us ninjas?" Tian Tian asked.

"I didn't actually hire ninjas to do these things before.

Because each ninja, even if he is a fledgling shinobi, must be able to get a minimum of 100 taels per mission, plus the village's share, in fact, hiring a ninja is not a cheap option.

However, since the three generations of adults took office as Hokage, even if it is not cost-effective, there are some trivial things and manual work, and merchants are willing to hire ninjas to complete them.

This is probably the personal charm of three generations of adults. ”

Maitkai sighed.

When he walked to the gate on the southwest side of Konoha, Hinata Ningji asked again.

"Teacher, why are there still people out of the village at sunset?"

"Oh, this is someone who lives outside the village."

"Why would anyone live outside the village? Is it bad to live in the village? Xiao Li asked.

"Xiao Li, do you know how expensive a house in Konoha Village is?" Hinata Ningji complained.

He can be regarded as a person who has bought a house, and for this unstable era, the residence in the ninja village is the safest place in the world.

This price will even be twice as high as the residence of the Daimyo Mansion in the Land of Fire.

After all, there are a lot of things that need to be solved before they can be pursued.

The group frolicked and came to the Hokage Building in the core area of Konoha Village.

"So Kai wants to take them to see the blood?" Ape Fei Sun Slash said after listening to Maitkai's request.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"Didn't you say before that you should let them learn basic medical techniques before taking them out of the village?"

"But things have changed, Hokage-sama."

"There is a new breed of thieves in the country of Sichuan, and I will hand it over to you the third class." Ape Fei Ri flipped through the task list in his hand, and then said to Maitkai.

"Yes."

"Let Ning Ci come in for another trip." Ape Fei Sun Slash suddenly called out to Matkai and said to him.

“…… Be....... The answer was less powerful.

Hinata Ninji, who was suddenly called into the Hokage's office, was a little surprised, and he walked over to a position about two meters away from the Hokage's desk and stood in a salute to the ape flying sun.

"Ningci, do you resent me?" Sarutobi smoked his pipe and stood by the window with one hand behind his back and watched the sunset over Konoha.

"Hokage-sama... Why do you ask...? ”

"When you were 4 years old, the Land of Thunder came to sign a new peace treaty.

However, there was an incident in which the ninja leader of the Cloud Ninja Village kidnapped Hinata Hinata, the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan.

Hinata Hinata kills the ninja leader.

Fair and reasonable.

However, Yun Ninja Village was unreasonable and threatened with war.

I sought a peaceful way to resolve the matter, and ended up sacrificing your father.

Do you hate me? ”

Speaking of this, Ape Fei Hiza turned around and looked at Hinata Ningji.

Hinata Ninji recalls the death of his father and the suicide of his mother.

The funeral just after my birthday, 8 years of loneliness.

In the face of such an old man who has experienced strong winds and waves and seen through the red dust and smoke of the world, there is no need to hide it.

"Hate!"

"I guess Tuan Zang also told you that at that time, at the Venerable Master's meeting, the attitude of the various ninjas was roughly the same, and it could be regarded as the same heart, and the cloud ninja wanted to fight.

But when I mentioned peace, only Danzou and Uchiha still insisted.

You know why? ”

This time it's something that isn't mentioned in the anime and the manga, and Hinata Ninji is a little confused.

In fact, he also felt very surprised why the whole village was willing to fight and finally chose peace.

"My subordinates don't know..."

"Because being willing to fight for morality does not mean that you are not afraid of death.

If World War II was a complete victory, then World War III can only be regarded as a defeated victory.

Konoha lost so much in that war.

And the fourth-generation Hokage Mizumon, who succeeded to the throne not long after the war...... Passed away again.

The old man can die,

But Konoha can't.

The green and yellow leaves need time, and peace is really the cry from top to bottom at that time.

The villagers want peace, and the years of war have made it difficult for the people of Konoha to live.

The merchants wanted peace, and the trade that had just picked up could not withstand the blow of war again.

The ninjas also want peace, and there are no new names carved on the memorial monuments. ”

Speaking of which, Sarutobi Hizashi walked up to Hinata Ninji and patted him on the shoulder.

"If you want to blame it, it's to blame why the Hyuga clan didn't come to the peace banquet that the whole village attended, but celebrated the birthday of Hinata's daughter alone in the clan."

Hinata Ningji was speechless again.

"Although your father, Hinata Hinata can't go up the memorial monument, his merits are known to Konoha up and down.

Now that you've become a ninja,

Then when you return from this mission out of the village, I will propose to the village council that you be allowed to read the Book of Seals once.

This is the village's gratitude to your father for buying peace with his life. ”

Speaking of this, the ape flies and slashes, and there is some interest.

He waved his hand and motioned for Hinata Ninji to step down.
