"This is so unusual, the rice is actually sold for 25 taels and one catty, fortunately, the price of vegetables has not risen too much, otherwise it will really be necessary to reduce the expenditure on food."

During the summer vacation, Shuimen, who had grown taller, carried two bags of rice, and said with some distress, and Chenma beside him also nodded when he heard this, and there were many people around them who were hoarding grain.

Because the rice merchant suddenly announced that because of the rise in logistics costs, the price of grain and rice will be adjusted from time to time and in an irregular amount in the next period of time, and depending on the trend, it is estimated that it will not fall in a short period of time, and even continue to rise.

As for vegetables, meat, poultry and eggs, although there is also a certain increase in price, it is not as exaggerated as rice noodles, probably because these things are supplied in Konoha Village and the surrounding areas of Konoha Village.

Tatsuma sighed and said, "Jiraiya-sama, they only came back once last year, probably because the outside of the village is not so peaceful. ”

Hearing this, Shuimen, who had already had a faint premonition since two years ago, suddenly asked, "Chenma, do you think there will be a war?" It's like a war like it was more than a decade ago. ”

What Mizuto was referring to was the war that would later be known as the First Shinobi War, and Tatsuma didn't have a trademark smile on his face today, but nodded seriously and said:

"War will come, or rather... In fact, since the last war, there has been no peace in the ninja world, and sooner or later there will be a second war that will spread throughout the ninja world, and maybe there will be a third or even more.

Every war is actually a continuation of the previous war, and now looking at this situation, the friction between villages and countries should have intensified a lot, maybe after a while, war is really coming. ”

Although Tatsuma knew that there would be a second and third ninja war, when he decided to become a ninja, he was also "determined" to participate.

But now that the war is getting closer, Tatsuma is very anxious, because he has not experienced the war himself, and he is even less receptive to war than Watergate.

Seeing the solemn look on Chenma's face, Shuimen shook his head and said, "Maybe it's just that we think too much?" We haven't even been out of the village, so how do we know what the ninja world is really like?

Maybe Jiraiya-sama will soon be back and bring the good news that war won't break out? ”

Shuimen said, he was a little unconvinced, Chen Ma didn't refute Shuimen anything, just shrugged his shoulders and said: "Then again, if the price of meat, poultry and eggs continues to rise, we may have to go fishing and picking wild vegetables." ”

In the past, the small subsidy given by the village may have been enough, but now that prices are soaring, they have even used part of their savings for today's large-scale purchases.

"I've heard that there are a couple of drill ranges with a lot of animals in them, so maybe we can go and visit them too."

Mizuto made a suggestion at this time, but Tatsuma shook his head and said, "Anyone who can be put into the training ground is conducive to ninja training, and to put it bluntly, it is a dangerous animal."

Whether the hunt is successful or not, many of these animals are omnivorous, carnivorous or even scavengers, and are generally not very suitable for consumption. ”

"Why?"

Hearing Chenma's statement, Shuimen was a little curious, Chenma thought for a while, and explained in as concise words as possible: "The purer the single species of nutrients ingested, the more suitable it is for us humans to eat."

For example, cattle and sheep that feed on plant roughage are very suitable for us to eat, and there are more simple ones such as vegetables and fruits. ”

Mizuto nodded as if he didn't understand, Tatsuma didn't tell him about the biological chain, if he didn't have to, he would never eat the meat of those high-risk animals.

After walking for a while, and going any further, it was time for the two to go their separate ways at the fork in the road, and Shuimen suddenly asked: "Chen Majun, if the war really breaks out and the village needs us, will you choose to graduate early?" ”

Hearing Shuimen's question, Tatsuma asked in surprise, "Do you want to graduate early?" ”

After asking, Tatsuma also frowned, according to the original book, Mizuto didn't graduate from the ninja school until he was ten years old, could it be that he took Mizuto to train in advance, and after letting Mizuto cash out his talent in advance, he had more ideas?

Shuimen nodded and said, "Teacher Hepu also said before that our strength is actually far beyond the graduation standard of the ninja school, and we can graduate at any time, and we are not far from the requirements of the middle ninja."

Don't say you didn't hear it, Mr. Hepu was actually already persuading us to graduate early, and even hinted that Hokage-sama would find us a good leader to lead the team. ”

Tatsuma didn't answer immediately, and after the final test before the holiday, Sarutobi Hepu talked to the two of them, but at that time, Tatsuma directly smiled and covered it up.

Mizumon saw that Tatsuma didn't mean to answer the teacher's topic, and he wouldn't dismantle his friend's platform, so he also pretended not to understand anything.

But now that the two are talking in private, there is no need for the water gate to hide it, and Tatsuma's silence is not that he is afraid of graduation, but that he is considering.

If neither he nor Watergate graduated, then he could still use this gentle and safe way to gather wool from Watergate and raise the ceiling of his talent.

But if Mizuto decides to graduate early and Tatsuma stays alone in the ninja school, then the speed at which his ceiling increases will be suddenly reduced, after all, there is no one in the class who can compare to Mizumon's fat sheep attribute.

There are a lot of talented people in the class, such as Pig Deer Butterfly, Inuzuka Paw, Uchiha Tenkaze, Hinata Chito and a certain insect envoy, etc., whose talents are very good, and there is even a candidate for Kushina, a human pillar force whose potential may not be inferior to that of Mizumon.

But if you want to get wool from these people, it's much more difficult, Lu Jiu is only interested in playing shogi, and he will directly refuse other games, Ding Zuo is food, Haiyi... Tatsuma didn't know what game Haiichi was interested in.

And Uchiha and Hinata, although in two years, he has no contradictions with these two people, but the relationship is not very good, especially Uchiha Tianfeng, which is four consecutive defeats.

I don't know if Sarutobi Hepu is intentional, in the actual combat assessment of four semesters, Tatsuma beat Uchiha Tianfeng four times, and Mizumon beat Hinata Sento four times, and won all of them.

After losing the first two times, Uchiha Tenkaze could still say that he would definitely win next time, but now he didn't talk about it, and even walked around when he saw Tatsuma.

Hinata Chito is similar, and these two people will return to the clan land after class, and they can't find them if they want to practice. It is obviously not realistic to find these two people to gather wool.

And Inuzuka Paw... The relationship is too shallow.,Basically no communication.,Not to mention the oil girl Zhiwei.,Most of the time, Chenma doesn't think that there is such a classmate in the class.,The sense of presence is too low.,And the interests don't coincide at all.。

Kushinai... Recently, it seems that he has been in Taoguang and has lived a simple life, and he can't see it at all except for class time.

Therefore, after graduating from Watergate, Tatsuma has no reason to stay in school, and it is not without benefits to graduate early, after all, the two who graduated early at the same time are likely to be assigned to the same team.

It doesn't matter if you don't get to the same team, according to Chenma's exploration of the system this year, if it involves a game of force, even if you don't force the game after complimenting, you will start the game by default.

After becoming a ninja, you will definitely encounter enemies during your mission, and you may not be able to do it as often as you are now, but you don't need to go through the trouble to create a game, which is also a good choice.

However, Tatsuma looked at the water gate and said, "If you don't count me, isn't there anyone in the class that you are nostalgic for?" ”

As the words came out, the expressions of the two of them became strange, after all, what Tatsuma said always felt weird, but the two quickly looked away, and Shuimen also thought about it seriously.

Is he nostalgic for someone? Yes, indeed.
