rock ninja log

After Jiraiya left Konoha, he went to the Land of Rain and searched for a long time but failed to find Nagato Yahiko and Konan.

Speaking of which, Nagato and the others were Jiraiya's earliest students, even earlier than Minato.

The hidden wooden house where Jiraiya taught the three people ninjutsu had long been empty. In the humid and rainy environment of the Land of Rain, the floor of the wooden house began to rot. The rainwater was blown into the house by the wind from the broken windows and collected.

It flows into streams towards the low areas on the floor.

There were clusters of brightly colored mushrooms growing on the windowsill. Jiraiya looked up at the leaky ceiling, stretched out his hand to wipe away the raindrops on his face, "It seems that everyone has been away for a long time."

Jiraiya observed carefully, "All the frog cards are covered, and there are no signs of fighting."

"Everyone must have left for some reason."

"Probably, there won't be any danger."

Jiraiya smiled, he was looking forward to meeting Nagato's three imps one day.

Not being able to see his three students, Jiraiya continued his journey.

As for Nagato Yahiko and Konan, as they continue to grow in the ninja world filled with killing and darkness, the three of them have become more and more leader-like in their charisma.

On the border of the Land of Rain, Nagato Yahiko Konan and all combatable forces secretly gathered here from several sub-bases.

Not long ago, Yahiko and the others captured a Konoha ninja while tracking a kidnapping incident against a boy from the Land of Rain. Subsequently, they received reliable information - Konoha's Danzo established an establishment in the Land of Fire on the other side of the border.

A very scary ninja school.

Danzo used bloody methods to train the captured teenagers, and made them betray each other and kill each other to select so-called qualified candidates.

That guy's hands were too long. Yahiko's eyes were burning with fire.

There is a saying that is almost as true as truth in the ninja world.

The strength of one's spirit ultimately determines a ninja's success.

While he was too weak to protect himself, Yahiko regarded the entire Kingdom of Rain as the object of his protection.

The height Yahiko and Nagato have grown to is definitely not an accident.

And once led the rain ninja to defeat the major ninja villages and drove the ninja army of Iwagakure, Konoha and Kiri ninja out of the country of rain. Sanshouyu Hanzo, who has the name of demigod and is called the guardian of the country of rain, in the rain.

He was drunk when the teenagers from the country were taken away. He was once known as a demigod, the second ninja with the name of a god after the god of ninja Senju Hashirama, but he had gradually lost his temperament.

I thought that the war would change the dilemma of the Country of Rain, but after planning for a long time and gathering a large number of wandering ninjas, the Rain Ninjas won an unprecedented victory in the Second Ninja War. However, the dilemma of the Country of Rain remained. It was like looking under the cover of rain.

The sky of the Land of Rain is not as sunny as the sky of the Land of Rain. Sanshouyu Hanzo thinks that the Land of Rain is a country without any hope.

Some of the companions killed Konoha's security sentry, and when the safe signal came, one after another calm-looking, generally young brats emerged from the dense forests of the Land of Fire.

They were wearing black raincoats, and their eyes hidden under their hoods were as pure and cold as the rain in the Land of Rain.

The enemy is the powerful Konoha Ninja Village? So what?

Even if Mr. Jiraiya comes to stop him, he must rescue the captured boys from the Land of Rain. Yahiko thought.

Yahiko was the last one to walk. After making sure that all his companions were not left behind, he followed the team carrying a giant sword.

Two hundred companions who know ninjutsu are probably enough, right?

Yahiko had no experience in leading his companions to fight against large-scale ninjas, and he was deeply worried.

…

The ninja world is really strange. In the Land of Snow, there is snow all year round, in the Land of Rain, it rains constantly, and in the Land of Wind, heat and dryness always go hand in hand.

It seems that Scorpio's aloof image will never come back. He was barefoot, bare-chested, and wearing swimming trunks as he splashed as hard as he could in a pool.

What Uehara said is probably right. Ninjas must consider combat situations under extreme conditions.

So what should I do if I accidentally fall into the water after my chakra is exhausted?

Or, does your puppet have the ability to fight underwater?

Of course, Scorpio thought about it very seriously, and then he decided to learn swimming skills from Uehara.

You can imagine what it would be like to see a cold and cute scorpion baby wearing cartoon swimming trunks and being dog-pawed for a while...

Xiao Chong was very envious that Scorpion could have such a big pool to play in the water. However, Uehara said that this was for Scorpion to practice his swimming skills and could not be disturbed, so Xiao Chong could only be envious.

Xiao Chong was holding a small cream cake, and he was eating it happily. It was covered with cream, just like a tabby cat. "Hey, Scorpion, for your birthday cake, I chose the cherry flavor. Do you want to eat it?"

Scorpion's talent is really good. It didn't take long for him to learn breaststroke, and he reached the edge of the swimming pool with just one kick of his calves like a little toad.

After spitting out the water in his mouth, Xie shook his wet hair. He glanced at the cake that had been eaten a lot by bugs and shook his head in disgust, "I don't want to eat it."

Uehara heard all the conversation between the two brats.

"Hey, little insect," Uehara, who was lying under the umbrella, stopped drawing the comic "Koga Ninja Post" and called the little insect to come to him.

"What happened to the birthday cake?" Uehara was puzzled.

"Today is Scorpion's birthday." Xiao Chong whined again and said vaguely.

"Really, why did you eat Scorpio's birthday cake?" Uehara was speechless.

"I bought it, so what if I eat it?" Xiao Chong said matter-of-factly.

"It's Scorpion's birthday cake. Of course, Scorpion has to divide it, and by the way, he also has to blow out the candles." Uehara educated Xiaochong.

"But Scorpion won't eat it!" Xiao Chong went to get Uehara's juice, but Uehara slapped his hand. He got angry, "It was the same last year. My mother asked me to buy Scorpion's birthday cake, but

The scorpion took the cake and ate it for me."

"Oh, that's it." Uehara smiled, as if he understood something.

For children, birthdays should not be the happiest thing. Delicious food, a cake that is too big to finish, long-awaited gifts, a group of playmates, and of course dad

Mother……

Scorpion seems to resist birthdays and other festivals, as can be seen from the fact that he refused the birthday cake given to him by Xiaochong.

Grandma Chiyo is also serious. Couldn't she have prepared a birthday party for Scorpion? She wasn't as considerate as Xiao Chong's mother, even though in the end, the pig-like Xiao Chong ate all the cake alone.

Aren’t you tired of eating so many sweets?

"Uehara, do you want some cake?" Xiaochong handed the plate to Uehara. It was definitely not out of kindness from this guy, he was most likely full.

"Xiao Chong, let's go and order another birthday cake with me."

With that said, Uehara picked up Xiaochong and started to leave.

"But I don't want to eat it anymore." Xiao Chong was dissatisfied. He still wanted to drink Uehara's bubbly juice.

The carbonated drink, which Uehara himself named the depth bomb, has arrived in Sunagakure Village along with the first batch of special metals from the Fuuma clan. Judging from preliminary sales, the response is pretty good.

After drinking a cold and refreshing carbonated drink into the body, the carbonic acid will be heated and decomposed into carbon dioxide due to body temperature. When the carbon dioxide is excreted from the body, a large amount of heat will be taken away to achieve the purpose of cooling. The heat-lowering efficiency is unmatched by other drinks.

of.

When he arrived at a pastry shop that ordered birthday cakes, Uehara ordered the largest one. When the clerk asked if he had any special requests, Uehara rolled his eyes and whispered in the clerk's ear.

Afterwards, under the surprised look in the clerk's eyes, Uehara took Xiaochong in his arms and left.

"Is that forehead protector an Iwa ninja?" the young clerk asked strangely.

"Hey, Uehara, what were you muttering about just now?" Xiaochong asked curiously.

This kid is so talkative that he keeps talking about "this guy" all day long.

Uehara slapped Xiaochong's head with his hand, and he only stopped beating him until he begged for mercy.

"Xiao Chong, do you know where to sell flowers?" Uehara suddenly stopped and asked.

"Ah? This kind of thing is hard to find. There is no flower shop in the village." Xiaochong thought carefully, "But there are flowers folded with paper."

Sunagakure Village is really tough, Uehara laughed, it's not a funeral, why do we need paper flowers?

But I don’t have a choice, paper will work too.

"Then, we also need fruits, lanterns, candles, and delicious food." Uehara made a rough estimate of some things to purchase, the most important of which was fruits.

In Sunagakure Village, there is only one fruit shop, and it sells out in two hours every morning.

Two hours have probably passed now, but there must be some in stock in the store. How should I buy it? Uehara fell into deep thought.

…

In Grandma Chiyo's office, there was another knock on the door.

"Please come in." Chiyo's mother-in-law is concentrating on carving puppet parts on a whole piece of metal. The boy from Iwagakure Village did not exaggerate the facts. The special metals from the Fuuma clan have various magical properties, which makes Chiyo, a top-level person,

The puppet master couldn't wait to start transforming his puppet.

"Grandma Chiyo, I may have something to trouble you with." Xiaochong explained the purpose of his visit.

"Is it Scorpion? Did he ask you to tell him something?" Chiyo didn't even raise his head.

"It's not Scorpion, it's Uehara." Xiaochong turned his head and looked outside the door, "It's him who needs the help of Granny Chiyo."

It's really unexpected that the boy from Iwagakure needs his help.

Chiyo stopped what he was doing, looked at Uehara who appeared from the door, and said expressionlessly, "Because of these precious metals, I can help you within the limit."

"However, if it is about puppetry," Chiyo changed the subject, "you will be disappointed."

Uehara also smiled and closed the office door with his hands behind his back.

"In fact, I would rather learn Scorpion's red secret technique than Chiyo-senpai's black secret technique."

"What's more, I'm not here for boring things like puppetry this time."

"It's for Scorpion."

"Scorpion?" Granny Chiyo frowned, he was a little confused.

"Today is Scorpio's birthday. I guess Granny Chiyo must have prepared a birthday party for Scorpio," Uehara smiled, "I want to join in and make the birthday party more interesting."

Is it... Scorpio's birthday?

Grandma Chiyo's heart palpitated. She actually forgot Xion's birthday. Being busy was not an excuse. Sure enough, she had neglected Xie's child.

The scene of Scorpion and his parents' puppets came to mind again, and Granny Chiyo's heart was stung again.

Uehara Ji knows how to speak well. He clearly knew that Granny Chiyo forgot to prepare a birthday party for Scorpio, but instead deliberately said that Granny Chiyo was ready and wanted to join in to make the birthday party more interesting.

And if Uehara directly said, "Grandma Chiyo, today is Scorpio's birthday, you probably forgot, right? That's just right, I'm ready."

If he really said that, Uehara would have been sent out as a gift by Granny Chiyo in a very polite and polite manner. Granny Chiyo would then have issued an order forbidding Iwagakure brats to go together in the Kage Building.

"Chiyo-sama must want to train Xia to become the most powerful puppet master."

"Luckily, Scorpion has a rare talent for puppetry. However, I don't think Scorpion should be treated as a genius."

"And he should be treated as a child..."

"That's enough." Granny Chiyo was a little angry. She hated the Iwagakure boy's criticism of her own education methods.

"I didn't stay in Sand Hidden Village for long, but I heard a lot about Scorpion." Uehara said with a sincere face, "His biggest wish is to see his parents again."

With that said, Uehara placed a scroll in front of Granny Chiyo's desk.

"During the Second Ninja War, our Iwagakure Village captured a Konoha ninja and obtained a very magical secret technique from him. I can no longer use ninjutsu because of my arm."

"Leave it to Chiyo-sama."

Granny Chiyo is very interested in the secret techniques from Konoha.

Ninjutsu knowledge is very valuable, and for any ninja, the word "secret" has a fatal attraction.

Granny Chiyo couldn't wait to open the scroll.

It seemed that Granny Chiyo had initially agreed to his plan. Uehara was very happy and said, "Hey, Xiaochong." The coolies he brought over were not in vain.

Uehara instructed Xiao Chong without any concern, "Bring the fruit in."

"Ah? Right here?" Xiaochong muttered, "This is Lord Kazekage's office."

However, seeing that Granny Chiyo had no intention of refusing, Xiaochong had no choice but to drag a huge bamboo frame in from outside the aisle.

The box was too full, and two apples accidentally rolled out of the frame, and the bugs couldn't catch them.

"There are so many fruits, is there anything I need help with?" It seemed that Chiyo's mother-in-law was in a good mood, and she actually took the initiative to help process the fruits.

"No, Chiyo-sama, that technique is the most important."

"I have completely mastered it."

Granny Chiyo just said a simple sentence, but it severely hit Uehara's poor self-esteem.

Can you master a completely unfamiliar ninjutsu in less than three minutes? But then think about it, Chiyo Granny is not only a ninja of the same era as Ninja Sarutobi, but her medical ninjutsu is also as powerful as Tsunade. This is a stand-in ninja

The ninja at the top of the world pyramid.

"Then, we need to cut the fruits into platters, and that will trouble us, Chiyo-senpai."

So Uehara gave the fruit to Granny Chiyo to handle.

I took Xiaochong away to deal with other things. (To be continued)
