Ninja Ice House

The greatest influence that the second generation of Hokage Senju Tobirama had on future generations was the founding of the Ninja School, which to some extent broke the monopoly of Ninjutsu and inheritance by the major Ninja clans.

The knowledge gained from the ninja school is enough for civilians with enough talent to successfully grow into chuunin.

Don't underestimate this insignificant change. If Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama founded Konoha Village and established the order of one village and one country, which pointed out the direction for the current structure of the ninja world, the ninja school is the real

The basis for promoting social change.

Even so, some truly brilliant secrets are still controlled by major ninja clans and profit-making groups.

Thousands of books are falsely passed down, but one sentence is really passed down! The phenomenon of top knowledge being monopolized is still very serious. For example, how can a teacher in a ninja school teach this about the mutual generation and restraint of ninjutsu, the changes in the shape and nature of chakra?

Even if you become a ninja, the teacher in charge may not teach you how to train chakra control step by step. Unless you have a special connection or plan to accept him as a disciple, you will not even be able to find a way to buy chakra test strips.

Mizuki was able to tell Uchiha Sasuke some basic knowledge, but only masters of Jiraiya's level and descendants of families with inheritance know efficient training methods.

Is it difficult to understand how to use a water balloon to practice Rasengan? It’s explained clearly in one sentence! It’s just that no one told you!

"As for the Thunder Release, what I understand is probably its stimulating and paralyzing effects. I can't say much about the other things."

"Then... let's practice fire escape ninjutsu first! Whether it's treading water or climbing trees, that's fine..." The higher he went, the more Uchiha Zuosuke realized his own limitations and the differences between other official ninjas he observed.

Compared with his performance, he obviously has a lot of shortcomings. Even if his ability to fight alone has improved, his offensive and defensive rhythm is also okay. If he really fights against an experienced chuunin, he may not be able to win steadily.

The biggest shortcoming is that the foundation is not solid. The so-called strong strength is like a castle in the air. Once the loopholes are seen, it will fall down as soon as it is pushed.

After listening to Teacher Mizuki's instructions, Uchiha Zuosuke turned around and looked at his old rival, Karin, and then realized where her despairingly calm and flexible feeling came from.

"Xiang Phosphorus, you already have profound attainments in the practice of changing the form and properties of chakra, right?"

"Gu Shan's family is definitely not bad, and her father is still Gu Shan Bu Shui, very strong..." Mizuki did not answer directly, but gave a hint with a smile,

"Water escape has a more obvious restraint effect when facing fire escape. When you compete with phosphorus, you are naturally at a disadvantage. Of course, you will also have an advantage when encountering ninjas who use wind escape and earth escape. However,

It should be noted that the so-called restraint relationship is also relative and always has its limits. In most cases, C-level water escape cannot stop A-level fire escape."

"I understand, thank you, Teacher Mizuki... and this..."

"Toad Immortal!"

"Anyway, thank you for your advice!" Uchiha Sasuke, who was really not suitable for such an occasion, said a few words, stood up and left.

"He's a good kid. It's a pity that his heart is gnawing at his heart with hatred, and he can't even hide his cold desire for revenge." Jiraiya sighed and commented objectively.

Naturally, it was hard for Mizuki to say anything about this kind of topic. As a teacher, there were some things that he couldn't mention.

After saying a few harmless words, Mizuki asked: "Senior Jiraiya, what do you want to know... about Orochimaru?"

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"Let me think about it, it must have been the year before last! During a field mission, on the way back, I was accidentally targeted and planted a curse seal. I didn't know much about this kind of thing until later. I was greedy.

, I almost committed suicide. I spent all my savings and owed a lot of debt, but the end was not very good."

"Oh? Look at your villa, it's pretty good. It probably cost a lot of money to renovate it!"

"I won a lottery, got a lot of money, and then bought it. Just in time, I started a family and needed it!"

"What was Orochimaru's state at that time?"

"You think too highly of me, Senior Jiraiya. With my ability, how can I see the reality of a master of that level?" Mizuki smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

Jiraiya had also foreseen this kind of thing. When he came this time, he just asked casually, but he didn't really expect to get any valuable information.

"Did he ask you to do anything? No matter how big or small, just tell me..."

"In my memory, there seems to be no such thing. Judging from his attitude at the time, it seemed that he was just randomly stirring up the chess pieces to see how the situation would develop."

"This does have his style." Jiraiya nodded understandingly,

"Where is your curse mark? Let me see it." After hearing this, Mizuki took off his coat, rolled up the sleeves of his single coat, revealing the black mark of the abstract tiger head on his arm, and then unbuttoned his clothes, so that he could clearly see it.

Even after the last outbreak of the curse seal, there were still no signs of it completely fading away.

Several dark lines that had become much lighter remained on the chest and abdomen. Jiraiya stretched out his finger and touched it, and the chakra was released, but he found nothing special.

"It's such a tyrannical power. To be able to withstand an explosion and still be alive is really like saving a life." It's not like Jiraiya has never seen curse seals before. Many years ago, Mitarai Anko had the curse seal of heaven on her body.

has been thoroughly researched.

In contrast, Mizuki's

"Tiger's Curse Seal" is obviously much simpler. "Perhaps, it is really just an unintentional test subject!" After the inspection, Shuimu put on his clothes, and Yun Dan said softly: "For it, I really don't want to eat it.

It's less of a pain and a lot of favors have been made. Fortunately, he's fine."

"Then...did Orochimaru contact you again later?"

"No!" This point was certain. Mizuki had no idea who in the village was a spy sent by Orochimaru.

"That's it!" Even a disciple like Mitarashi Anko would give up at the drop of a hat, while a guy with average qualifications like Mizuki wouldn't be taken seriously. It's perfectly normal.

He made a special trip and found nothing, so Jiraiya was a little disappointed. "I was naive to want to catch Orochimaru so easily."

Knowing that today's visit was fruitless, Jiraiya asked about his current situation and quickly left.

After the guests left, Mizuki packed up the tea sets and Xiao Chun walked out of the back room.

"Is there anything special? Except for Yin Luka and a few colleagues, few people come to visit our house..."

"I asked about some things from the past. Don't worry, it's all over."

"Yeah!" Xiao Chun wanted to step forward to help, but Mizuki pushed him to the sofa to rest.

"You'd better stop fussing and have a good rest. Let's go for a walk later! A new movie has been released, starring the recently popular Fuji Feng Xue'e. The reputation is said to be pretty good. If you have time, if you have tickets, let's go watch it together.

look!"

"Okay!" In the past, there were few large-scale movie theaters in Konoha Village. Since the Furusugi family increased their investment in the past few years, the village has been built with high-rise buildings.

The "Ginza" commercial street is the center, and a large area of ​​places for eating, drinking, and having fun is built. Of course, customs with strong tastes still do not exist. After all, this is a ninja village, not a secular town.

If you want to experience more, you can take the public carriage that runs between Konoha Village and Shinjuku Town every half an hour, and go there to experience it.

"By the way, the special-grade newborn milk powder I ordered should be arriving soon. I stopped by the store and asked about it. They are all good things that can only be found. The babies of high-ranking families also drink this kind of milk. It doesn't cost anything.

You can definitely buy it.”

"I know, I know! There are still two or three months left, why are you anxious..." It's not Mizuki who is pregnant, but she is more anxious than anyone else.

In the past, Xiaochun was worried about her husband's unstable temperament and secretly pondered some dangerous things. Now, she feels that Mizuki, who is semi-idle, doesn't have much to worry about except for some trivial matters in the ninja school, so he spends all his time on the little things that matter to his parents.

.

This is good, but it's too trivial. Moreover, it always feels a little inconsistent. Logically speaking, with Mizuki's nature, it is impossible to really accept fate and be content with the status quo.

Others may not know it, but Xiaochun knows the person next to her very well. A situation is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change.

Are you so frightened by one setback that you don’t dare to mess around anymore? Naive! In any case, this kind of warm life is really a bit of a waste of one’s will.

It was also a good thing to be able to keep her husband honest for a while. Just when Xiao Chun was reading a book in the living room, a faint red halo suddenly appeared in front of Mizuki who was busy in the kitchen, forming several rows of small characters.

Just look up

The name "Uzumi". After more than a minute, the red light disappeared, and Mizuki was rinsing the tea set in his mind while recalling the news that had just been sent.

"Uzami? Is there something special about this girl that deserves serious arrangements?"

』Ever since this girl who joined halfway got involved with her classmates, everyone had a good impression of her.

Including Mizuki, no one found that she had any great talents or abilities. This matter really made Mizuki a little confused.

Although he was told not to rush, Mizuki couldn't help but be careless. If his behavior of cheating was discovered, it would be much more serious than getting entangled with Orochimaru.

...A week later, the carriage carrying the Hokage Sandaime, his bodyguards, and Karin and his party entered the palace.

Xiang Phosphorus, who rarely comes here, is still very curious about this place that is very different from Konoha Village and Yuqi Island.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Konoha ninjas found a hotel to stay in the city, and Karin was picked up.

Xiao Hiiragi and his two younger sisters, who had not seen their elder sister for several months, saw Xiang Ling's long hair beating like flames from a distance.

"Sister, this way!" This is, after all, the place where the daimyo lives. The architectural style inside and outside tends to be simple and solemn, and the entertainment atmosphere is not very heavy.

In layman's terms, it's just not fun. No wonder little brother Liangzhong wants to sneak out to play every now and then.

Xiao Hiiragi, who was already very strong, was able to trot forward while holding his two younger sisters, who were a little wobbly when walking.

Xiang Ling's perception is not inferior to that of her younger sister. As soon as he entered the city, he knew the location of his family members.

After getting closer, he asked a little strangely: "Are you building a snowman?"

"Yeah!" Xiao Hiiragi, whose cheeks were red from the cold but still enthusiastic, used his thick gloved hands to gather the snowdrift, squeeze it tightly, and press it on the embryonic snowdrift of who-knows-what.

"Not just a snowman, I also want to build a castle as the snowman's home!"

"That's not easy!" After Xiang Ling smiled, he reached out and patted the snowflakes on the three sisters, then grabbed a ball of snow, used his ability, softened it, and changed its shape. Soon, a decent-looking

The little snowman is taking shape.

"Look, does it look like you?" Xiaoyi grabbed her sister's hand, looked over it several times, and asked strangely,

"how did you do that?"

"The power of ninjutsu and the help of the right time and place."

"I also want!"

"You can't do it now! I'm not very good at using it either. When you grow up, let your father teach you."

"Can't you learn now...?"

"Um!"

"Forget it!" Xiao Hiiragi picked up the shovel, hammer and other tools again and continued to build snowmen and build a snow city by hand.

"Why are you just playing, the snow is about to fall, and no one cares?"

"I'm hiding and sneaking to this place where no one comes..."

"No one cares?" This is almost impossible! With the protection measures taken by the Gushan family for direct members of the family, the possibility of a few children getting out of sight is almost zero.

I haven't come here now, I'm just playing games with the host's children.

"It looks like it will take a long time. How about we stop for a while and come back tomorrow! Building a castle doesn't happen overnight. You have to take your time."

"But what if the snow melts tomorrow?"

"You still remember what happened before!" The climate on Yuqi Island is much warmer than that of Miyagi, and there is less snow.

Xiao Hiiragi once excitedly tried to build a snowman, but he failed the first time. The next time he went there, when the weather got warmer, he didn't succeed.

Xiao Hiiragi, who has learned his lesson, is not willing to give up halfway this time.

"Don't worry, it's much colder here than at home. It's estimated that the snow won't melt for several days. There will definitely be some when we come tomorrow." If there is an accident, just artificially create some ice and snow and let Xiao Hiiragi continue to play.

Seeing that his sister was still a little hesitant, Xiang Ling continued to persuade: "Look, Xiao Jing and Xiao Si are both tired. We can't let them get cold sickness, right?"

"Then...okay!" He packed up a lot of tools, picked up the small bucket, held his sister's hand, and walked through the already deep snow toward the palace where he lived.

A few minutes later, the four sisters returned to the warm spring room.

"Are you finally willing to come back?" Hongye Sheep pretended to be sullenly teaching Xiao Hiiragi, who was running around, and took off her thick fleece clothes and put on thin indoor clothes for her.

"When you go far away, you have to tell your family, you know?"

"Well! Where is father?"

"I have a visitor, and I have to greet him." Not only the Hokage arrived, but also the daimyo from the Kingdom of Winds heard the news and came to greet him.
