From afar, looking at the young red-haired little girl with binoculars, chatting with her friends at the door of the dessert shop, Jiraiya sighed to the half-kneeling dark behind her: "She doesn't look like Kushina, but she has a bit of the temperament of Princess Mito......"

"After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Gushan family, although her mother is not from a high background, she is also a descendant of the whirlpool, not a commoner with no background."

"Hmm!" Jiraiya put away the telescope in his hand, sat cross-legged on top of the head of the huge toad mount, and said to the dark part waiting for orders,

"The old man showed me to see it, and the result was no different. That child is a genius, and even without a mentor or friend, the Gusugi family can ensure that she grows up smoothly. ”

"Mainly, I still want to ask Jiraiya-sama to distinguish between good and evil, good and evil, after all, your sharp vision is a well-known thing......" Being able to cultivate a big man like Golden Flash Bo Feng Shuimon, Konoha Village's degree of trust in Jiraiya is incomprehensible to outsiders.

"Relatives near and far are relative, it is impossible for us to treat them like enemies, and expect others to be grateful to us. The Uchiha thing, isn't the lesson enough? I have always felt that Elder Tuanzang was too radical, and the three generations of old men acquiesced and sat idly by, and did not do it right. "This kind of thing, of course, is not something that can be discussed casually by a dark department, and you can also make fun of the advisor elders and complain about what the master has done, it's nothing, and it's better for others not to talk too much.

"That's a good kid, don't worry too much. Also, the ancient fir minions who were stranded in the village, although they were selfish, did not harbor malicious intentions towards the village, so that the old man could rest assured. On the Daimyo's side, go early and return early, and this year, I will stay in the village for a while longer. Let's go......" After saluting, the shadows went away silently, and Zilai couldn't help but sigh.

"It's complicated, it's complicated, it's troublesome!" Uchiha Itachi left a message and went to the country of the wind, not knowing when he would be able to return to the joint.

Orochimaru's matter has not yet come to a conclusion, and there is no clue about finding the child of destiny. Removing the half-empty wine gourd from his back, he walked around the Konoha Village Chief Street after the snow.

I haven't been back for a while, and the village has changed a lot. Over the years, the Gushan family has invested a lot of money in reconstruction, and the original antique architectural style has gradually taken on a lot of fashionable taste.

The low-rise wooden houses have been replaced by high-rise buildings. The characteristics of the fusion of the times can be seen everywhere in this new town.

The closer you get to the gate, the more beautiful and prosperous, and the closer to the rear, the more quaint it looks. Just when he was casually walking and drinking, he suddenly had a small collision with passers-by.

"Huh? I'm sorry to ...... "Judging from the touch, it's either a child or a weak girl, and I didn't pay attention to the slightly drunk self for a while, and when I reacted, I couldn't dodge it anymore.

Of course, the other party also seemed to be a little absent-minded. Normal people will unconsciously stay away when they see a drunken old man wandering on the road.

A handsome child frowned slightly, in the end, he still adhered to the tradition of respecting the old and loving the young, and nodded to Jiraiya, who was full of alcohol, which was regarded as a hello.

Jiraiya, who didn't take it seriously, was about to pass by him, and suddenly asked, "This little brother, do you know where is the home of Mizuki, the ninja teacher in the ninja school?" ”

"I'm looking for it too." When the handsome young man heard this, he turned around,

"You're visiting too?"

"Ask him something!" Jiraiya grinned at each other,

"Little brother, what do you call ......?"

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Uchiha...... Zuosuke, it turned out to be you! Jiraiya instantly lost half of his wine, and looked at Uchiha Zuosuke a few times before nodding imperceptibly,

"Sure enough, it's a heroic boy. If you don't mind, let's find out? ”

"It's good! Old man, what do you call it? ”

"I'm not that old! Haha......" seems to remember something happy, Jiraiya and Uchiha Sasuke walked forward side by side,

"People call it a toad immortal, it's me!"

"You're also a Konoha ninja?"

"Hmmm! Today's young people don't know much about the ninja seniors in the village! Ninja schools don't teach history anymore......"

"Yes, but I haven't heard of the Toad Immortals, only Senju Tsuruma and Madara Uchiha."

"Yes!" Bragging unsuccessfully touched the bridge of his nose slightly embarrassed,

"Maybe you haven't learned it yet. Let's not mention this for the time being, why are you looking for Mr. Mizuki? ”

"I was his student, and I came because I had something to ask for advice on spiritual matters."

"Now that students visit their teachers, do they have to give gifts when they preach and receive their teachings?" Jiraiya asked strangely, pointing to the fruit basket and flowers that Uchiha's left assistant was carrying.

"Generally, it's not necessary, it's just that Mr. Mizuki's wife is pregnant with a baby, and it's been more than seven months, so it's not good to come to the door empty-handed."

"Oh, yes, that's true! I don't want to go like this, let's turn around and go to a nearby store and buy some gifts...... "This is not far from the wood hospital, and the tea street is also nearby, there are many exquisite small shops, there are several that sell fruits and flowers, and Yamanaka Ino's home is nearby, and he happens to run a flower shop.

Ten minutes later, Jiraiya and Uchiha Sasuke, who had an extra small flower basket in their hands, stood at the door of a well-kept small villa, and the sign read

"Mizuki" and

The name of "Tsubaki". Judging from the style, what was supposed to be an ordinary small western-style building has been converted into a playful villa, with balconies and terraces on the second floor filled with flower pots, evergreen plants growing tenaciously in all seasons, and very chic evergreen trees in the yard, swaying gently against the snow.

"I guess this is it!" Uchiha Sasuke knocked lightly on the door, and soon after, there was a sound of footsteps, the door opened, and Mizuki, who was dressed in his usual home clothes, opened the door.

"Huh? Left help! It's really rare, is there something wrong? Seeing that the other party was carrying a gift, he should have come to visit on purpose, so Mizuki was about to welcome him in, and immediately looked at the white-haired old uncle beside him.

"It's ...... Is it an adult? You're back? It's been a long time......"

"It's me! Just a few days after I came back! I have something to ask you, and when I met this little brother, I came together. ”

"It's a great honor for you to be here." Mizuki's attitude made Uchiha Sasuke realize that the old man who came with him around him might not be ordinary.

"Excuse me!" The two of them walked into the house and found that there was no brazier or fireplace inside, but it was warm and the smoke was not very heavy.

"What is this used for heating? I didn't see you turn on the heater either......" Jiraiya looked curiously at the surrounding furnishings, which were a little different from the traditional ones, and the light was much brighter.

"Underfloor heating! Recently, new homes in the village have become more popular as a relatively mild way of heating, which is good for the elderly, children and pregnant women. Last time, I went to the newly opened real estate to see the model room, and when I saw this thing, it was very good, so I spent money to install it. Jiraiya and Uchiha Sasuke were led to the living room to sit down, and a soft, languid voice came from inside.

"Is there a guest? I'm sorry, I'm warm, I'm a little sleepy. Dressed in loose maternity clothes with a tired face on her face, Tsubaki walked out and then wisely poured tea for the guests.

"Madame, you are so gracious, thank you! It's us who took the liberty to disturb ......" At this time, Jiraiya, in the end, still maintains the demeanor of a respected old-timer, and his gestures are still very decent, and Uchiha Sasuke is a little more wooden, and he is not very experienced in this kind of occasion.

After a few pleasantries, Tsubaki went back to the house to rest. Mizuki took out a small snack and brought it to everyone while eating.

"The last time I saw Jiraiya-sama, it was not long after I took the Zhongnin exam, it's been several years, and I'm also married, and I'll have a child soon."

"I'm kind of impressed with you! After the Nine-Tails attacked the village, you were quite active, it was the old man who asked you to bring those children who lost their relatives, right? ”

"It's me! Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. ”

"Don't talk about that, I have something to do...... About Orochimaru, I want to ask you. By the way, this unexpected little brother seems to have something to ask you, let him talk about it first! Uchiha Sasuke, who had been quietly listening to the greetings between the two, met Mizuki's inquiring gaze and asked Mizuki: "Recently, I feel that I have encountered a bottleneck in my practice, and I have been overwhelmed by Xiang Phosphorus in the actual combat class, and I can't find a clue to improve, I want to ask Mizuki Sensei for advice, what to do next, is it necessary to practice powerful ninjutsu, in order to turn defeat into victory." ”

"I want to win fragrant phosphorus!" Mizuki nodded knowingly, not caring who gave Uchiha Sasuke a trick and asked him to come to him.

In any case, I am also a serious teacher, and it is appropriate to preach and receive karma to solve doubts. There is also a face-to-face, as long as there is nothing suspicious, it is impossible for others to say anything.

"Blindly thirsting for advanced ninjutsu is a common mistake made by young people who are new to the path of ninja. This knowledge was originally supposed to be taught to you by the leading teacher after you became a lower ninja, but your cultivation progress is too fast, so it is not impossible to know it earlier. You wait......" Mizuki got up, walked into the back room, took out a chakra test paper, and handed it over.

"You put it between your fingers and try it ...... the chakra poured in," Sasuke Uchiha did, and in less than half a minute, the chakra test paper first wrinkled and then turned to charred ashes.

"Fire and thunder, and they almost go hand in hand, quite a rare dual-attribute ......"

"Dual attributes?"

"It's the chakra attribute, where is the innate specialty of a ninja. In the future, you will have a natural advantage in learning Fire Escape and Thunder Escape, which is a good thing, they are all powerful attributes, and they are suitable for combat. Next, Mizuki explained the principle of Chakra's Yin and Yang Five Elements to Uchiha Sasuke.

"Originally, these should have been given you guidance by your parents or tutors, but ......" The Uchiha family disappeared, and the inheritance naturally ceased to exist.

The so-called chakra attribute has also been seen in the few remaining literature, but if you understand it on your own, it is not as good as a professional teacher like Mizuki to explain it in simple terms.

"In the past, I won't say much about it. Speaking of the misunderstanding of learning advanced ninjutsu, the so-called ninjutsu level is the level of difficulty of cultivation, and in most cases, it does match the power of ninjutsu, but when it comes to each specific ninja, the performance is also very different. For example, I am a chakra based on fire, supplemented by earth, and it is particularly difficult to learn water escape, even if it can be used, the power is much smaller, and the result is half the effort, it is far less cost-effective than intensive study of fire escape and earth escape......"

"So, my direction is Thunder and Fire?"

"That's right! Huo Dun is good to say, you Uchiha is based on Huo Dun, this doesn't need me to teach, Lei Dun, the village is really proficient, in fact, there are not many, I myself will only have some superficial D-level ninjutsu, and a C-level ninjutsu, I can't teach you too much, if you want to learn, find a time later, I'll guide you. After a pause, Mizuki continued to explain,

"Of course, what I'm going to talk about today is not what Fire Escape and Thunder Escape is, but Chakra itself, you need to practice this now." Mizuki stretched out his palm, and in the air above, the chakra converged, slowly changing its nature, and soon, a small flame appeared in front of Uchiha Sasuke's eyes.

"Without a seal, you cast a fire escape?" Everything in front of him was beyond Uchiha Sasuke's general knowledge of ninjutsu.

"Form and nature, that's what I want to remind you about. Whether it is chanting or sealing, it is essentially an auxiliary means of casting, and its core is the change of form and nature of the chakra. Only know how to seal the spell, pile up the amount of chakra to increase the power, just a superficial person who floats on the surface, if the form change and nature change practice is in place, even if it is C-level ninjutsu, it can be strengthened to the power of A-level ninjutsu. Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke still seemed to understand something, he couldn't help but interject: "The strength of ninjutsu is just the appearance, and the strength of ninja is fundamental." Controlling the chakra and allowing it to generate and bless ninjutsu according to its own will is the right path, don't be blinded by any ninjutsu level. Especially a genius like you, it's a bit of a pity to go astray. Mizuki glanced at Jiraiya, who was unwilling to be left out in the cold, and continued: "The change in the form of the fire escape, you can slowly experience it in the practice of the family fire escape ninjutsu many times, this is not in a hurry, and it is relatively easy. Of course, there is also a premise, that is, the chakra control has to pass, you have seen the ninja flying on the wall, up the mountain and down the sea, such as walking on the ground, in fact, it is attached to the soles of the feet Chakra, controlling the amount and speed of output, and the effect achieved, you can try. As for the change in nature...... "Mizuki held the palm lightly and pinched out the small flame in the palm of his hand.

"Blazing, high temperature, burning, spreading, destroying, every master who is proficient in fire escape has a different understanding of it, mine is burning and spreading ......"

"I am heat and destruction." Jiraiya added,

"It's pretty much the same, it's just a slight difference in the details."
