Ninja Ice House

The status of a Jonin may not be considered a big deal in the eyes of many big shots, but it at least proves the person's excellence and can effectively counter some gossip.

but……

"Red, you are...excellent. As a ninja, you are indeed so. But as a lover and wife, you really can't improve your competitiveness much."

Mitarashi Anko curled her lips and retorted casually,

"Didn't you realize? We... these female ninjas who have carved their own way, the circle of choosing a mate is actually quite narrow. You can either find a male ninja who has a common topic, or you can find someone outside the circle, a small businessman, a small shopkeeper, or an ordinary member of the society.

And so on, those whose conditions are too poor will be looked down upon by us, and those whose family background is too good will be looked down upon by us."

This world is called the ninja world, but after all, ninja is a small and specialized profession. Apart from being able to fight and risk one's life to make money and have a high income, there are no other advantages.

The expense is high, the risk is not small, and when considered together with the relatively generous mission reward, it may not be very attractive.

If you can fight and are powerful, what is the fastest way to make money?

Do the task?

Being a bodyguard for a noble person?

How can these be obtained faster by grabbing them directly?

The ninjas of the Warring States Period lived a relatively difficult life, but compared with the precarious ordinary people, it was much better.

When ninja clans, large and small, formed ninja villages, restrained their minions, put on polite clothes, put on sanctimonious faces, and began to talk about reason and "literary fighting", some changes occurred.

The order of one village and one country severely restricted the hands and feet of the ninjas. Only by maintaining a dynamic balance in the combat power between the five major ninja villages would secular society be able to recuperate in the cracks, gradually develop and grow, and finally have the opportunity to become the mainstay.

In this context, Yuhi Kurenai's efforts to go further on the road of ninja cannot win her a higher status in the heart of Furugi Fusui, and Sarutobi Asuma may not really care about his lover.

Is it a chuunin or a jounin?

Only those ordinary admirers who think they can still win Chuunin Yuhiko's heart, but stay away from Jounin Yuhiko, stay away.

The higher a ninja goes, the narrower the social circle becomes. For most things in life, it is enough to deal with a limited number of people. For other things, there is almost no basis for living together. The circles are too far apart.

"But besides working hard for promotion, what else can I do?"

Yuhi Hong somewhat listened to her friend's words, but she didn't make any move.

"My father and grandfather are all ninjas. I have worked hard to become an excellent ninja since I was a child. Everything I have thought about and learned is like this. If I want to do something else, I can't do it. I might as well

Keep going in the field you are good at.”

After a pause, Yuhi Kurenai said to Mitarashi Anko,

"You, on the other hand, see so accurately, why don't you care about yourself? You have such an unpleasant personality, and I have never heard of any scandal between you and anyone. What are you going to do in the future?"

"It's hard to say. It's probably rare to find a man I like in the future who can tolerate my bad habits."

"Don't you want to change it?"

"Let's wait until I meet someone who can make me change willingly!"

Mitarashi Anko waved her hands nonchalantly,

"Don't talk about me! Today is Asma's housewarming. We are here to congratulate him on having a new home and becoming the head of the family."

What kind of family is this if there is only the head of the family and no one else?

At most it's just a decent house.

After Mitarai Anko teased her, Yuhi Kurenai did not refute. After all, Sarutobi Asuma was the protagonist today. After some time to chat quietly, large plates of barbecue, pastries and drinks were brought out. People were eating and drinking with great interest, and the atmosphere became lively.

Private communication stopped.

Yuhi Kurenai was sandwiched between Mitarashi Anko and Uzuki Yuugao, and gracefully congratulated Sarutobi Asuma with the others and expressed her gratitude for the hospitality.

In the past, there were occasional minor conflicts in the ninja school, but after graduation, we grew up and our relationship became much closer.

The bearded Jonin, whose depression was somewhat relieved, was happy and felt much better after drinking. Fortunately, he did not go crazy after drinking too much, nor did he say any inappropriate words. Instead, he fell asleep with a silly smile, and was surrounded by everyone.

Carry it into the bedroom to rest.

The others quickly tidied up Sarutobi Asuma's new home, and then left one after another.

…

It's late at night, but the main night markets in Konoha Village are still brightly lit, and in more remote places, there are street lights to guide people returning home at night.

Mizuki, who worked overtime late, passed by the main road and saw the guests leaving Asuma Sarutobi's new home in twos and threes after enjoying themselves. A trace of ridicule appeared on his lips.

"The Hokage's son is just different. He ran away from the village for several years like a rebellious ninja, but he can still entertain guests when he comes back. If nothing happens, I will only be able to do unimportant chores in the future."

?』

Same people but different fates, similar encounters, but very different endings.

In terms of severity, Mizuki's behavior was not necessarily worse than Sarutobi Asuma's.

It seemed that he glanced a few more times, attracting the attention of several ninjas with keen senses, who looked over inadvertently.

Mizuki didn't pay attention, looked back, and then left as if nothing had happened, just like any other passerby.

"Who was... just now?"

Yuhi Hong frowned slightly and asked,

"It seems that there is a slightly malicious spiritual perception extending here!"

Mitarashi Anko shrugged, slightly drunk, and replied casually:

"It's the Mizuki I told you about. He is a very good teacher. He made a mistake in his assignment and was reprimanded by the Sandaime. He is currently on probation."

"That's him? This keen ability to manipulate mental power is extraordinary. He has such a powerful specialty, why did he go to a ninja school?"

Ninjas with mental talent are quite rare, and they have excellent blessings in many fields. Illusion, secret escape techniques, sealing techniques, torture techniques and even medical ninjutsu all have good prospects.

"How do I know? I'm not a sentient ninja, and I don't know his situation."

"That's it!"

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Kurenai Yuhi didn't take it seriously. Since neither the Sandaime nor the Anbu surveillance found any problems, it was naturally not the turn of irrelevant people to make irresponsible remarks.

At the same time, Mizuki, who had walked far away, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"A chuunin actually has a good mental talent, quite good qualifications, and a keen sense. He almost got caught..."

Trying to apply mental perception to others is like using a telescope to peek and be discovered. After all, it is not a good idea.

Ever since he drank the potion left by Orochimaru and activated the Tiger Seal, Mizuki, who had experienced a life of near-death and finally survived, cherishes everything he has now.

As the saplings rooted deep in the soul gradually grow, the biggest change reflected in Shuimu is that his mental power has become stronger. This is the benefit brought by the superposition of multiple mutations.

Correspondingly, the amount of chakra also increased a lot, giving Mizuki a sense of joy as a blessing in disguise.

Because he has to avoid suspicion recently and is busy with work, Mizuki has less time to practice, so he has not yet accurately assessed how strong he is.

With some strange thoughts popping up in his mind from time to time, Shuimu absentmindedly returned to the bachelor's apartment. When he pushed the door open and entered, the lights inside were still on.

"Is it Xiaochun? I told you that I'm very busy these days and it's too late to come back. You don't have to wait."

"Well?"

Lying on the table and dozing off, the pretty woman with a braided braid who was about to fall asleep suddenly woke up.

"I made some soup for you! I've seen you looking so distracted recently. Are you too tired?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little worried."

Mizuki looked at the steaming soup in the earthen pot on the table and asked with a little warmth,

"Tide juice?"

"yes!"

Xiaochun said a little embarrassedly,

"It's not good to always eat assorted sushi and Kencho juice. It's better to eat more meat and vegetables to replenish your body. What do you think...?"

"As long as it's not tonkotsu ramen and tonkotsu sauce."

Especially the former, which brings together the two foods that Mizuki hates most. Ramen and greasy pork. If you can help it, you will never eat it.

Jianchang juice is a relatively vegetarian root soup. Stir-fry radish, carrot, konjac, and tofu in sesame oil, then add some special seasonings and boil, add soy sauce and miso and it's ready.

Assorted sushi is a sushi made mainly of cucumbers and sweet and sour radish strips, supplemented by a small amount of crispy sausage, ready-to-eat squid, crab roe, a small amount of seaweed, and fine rice.

As for Mizuki's taste, he prefers light Kencho sauce and assorted sushi, and is very averse to pork and ramen. Therefore, it is true that Uzumaki Naruto, who naturally dislikes tonkotsu ramen, is not compatible with him.

Mizuki, who is seriously ill, believes in Xiao Chun that he really needs to eat more nutritious meat and vegetables, so he has been cooking fancy dishes in different ways recently.

The so-called tide juice, whose main ingredient is clams or white fish, is more common on the southeastern coast and is almost essential in rituals to pray for safety at sea. It is also available in Konoha Village, which is located inland, but it is rare.

After the power of the Furusugi family was deeply integrated into the lives of the Konoha villagers, some of the Inaba country's eating habits and customs and culture were naturally known to the Konoha villagers.

Chao Juice is less oily, not greasy, and rich in nutrients. It is one of the few broths that Mizuki prefers.

Kneeling and sitting opposite Xiao Chun, Mizuki picked up the earthen pot and stirred it gently with a spoon to let the fragrance spread.

Mizuki, who was very picky, had more or less noticed that this can of soup was not freshly made. It was probably cooked shortly after dark. It has been almost four hours since it was kept warm.

In order to wait for Mizuki to come back, I cooled off the heat, heated up and cooled down, and relived it several times before it became like this.

"You're so stupid. If you can't wait any longer, just send it tomorrow. I'm not short of a meal. It took me so long and it won't be until early morning when I get back."

He scolded softly, but only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.

Xiao Chun held her chin and watched quietly as Mizuki finished a jar of tide juice. Then he packed up his things with satisfaction. After exchanging a few words, he was ready to go back.

"It's a bit late, let me see you off!"

"No, I'm on vacation tomorrow and you have to continue working. It's better to rest early. What's more, there is no danger in Konoha Village."

If it is really foolproof, just look at the night of the Uchiha genocide more than two years ago and you will know.

However, Mizuki also knew that these days were indeed the most heavily guarded period in Konoha Village.

Major Governor Gu Shan came here and brought a large number of parents from outside the village for a teaching tour. If there was a safety issue, it would not be a matter of losing face.

"Okay, you should go back and rest early. The school will be busy tomorrow, there may be a lot of trivial matters to deal with, and you may not be able to come back in the evening, so don't come to cook. If you have anything important, go to the school to see me. Normally

, I will always be in the comprehensive preparation room."

"I know. If I can't find it, I'll ask Iruka to convey it."

"Um."

If it had been before, Mizuki would have lost his temper again if Xiao Chun had said that name that made him hate and envy him.

However, the situation has changed now. Mizuki's vision is no longer limited to the ninja school, and naturally he will not be particularly wary of his apparent friend Iruka.

After waving his hand and watching Xiao Chun disappear around the corner of the street, Mizuki closed the door, took a refreshing shower, then leaned on the bench, bathed in the moonlight in front of the window, closed his eyes and meditated.

Since his mental strength has been greatly improved, Mizuki feels that his energy has also improved by leaps and bounds. The required rest time every day has been reduced. After three or four hours of deep sleep, he can work energetically for a whole day the next day.

sky.

The only worry is that after the body recovers, his quality has been comprehensively improved, which has caused Mizuki to have a big problem in controlling his strength. Only when it stabilizes and adapts for a period of time can he regain his past strength, or even better.

Go up one floor.

After experiencing a big change in his life, Mizuki's mentality has also undergone a great change.

In the past, due to his own origin, he could not even come into contact with a truly reliable inheritance, so he had to accept the olive branch thrown by Orochimaru. Now, with another thick thigh that is more reliable, Mizuki's restless heart has calmed down a little.

settled down.

Anyone who can become an official ninja is not a fool. When his smart IQ took over the high ground again, Mizuki also began to make some plans for his future.

"Everything in Konoha Village is unimportant, only Xiaochun..."

The corners of his mouth trembled a few times unconsciously, and he continued to think.

"Also, that idiot Iruka doesn't seem to be easy to bully. Otherwise, Xiao Chun will be unhappy."

After more than twenty years of being an orphan, Shuimu has experienced a lot of human kindness, and only a few people really care about him.

Shuimu still knows who is really kind to him.

Mizuki once had the idea of ​​defecting and following Orochimaru, but Mizuki had no intention of telling Xiaochun.

If you have a narrow escape, just walk on your own, and don't involve your close friends or friends.

Now, it seems that it is not that dangerous to follow Gushan Bu Shui. Some radical things cannot be done, and the plan must be changed.
