Gently put it into your mouth.

Chapter 24 Porridge and daily life

"You sound ninjas are so rude. You promised to leave a mouthful for me, but you ended up licking the bowl clean!"

Zabuza's angry and suppressed voice came from the room.

They agreed to leave some for him, but the female voice ninja even licked the bowl clean.Where is there any chance for him to leave Zabuza?

Tayuya didn't care about Zabuza's anger. She lay down again and pulled the quilt over her head, curling up together.

Is it because of stomachache?No, although there is no specific medicine, Tayuya has been relieved a lot after taking it. A bowl of porridge will not put any burden on the spleen and stomach. On the contrary, a bowl of warm porridge at this time also makes Tayuya feel much better. .But it was the warmth brought by this porridge that made Tayuya curl up.

Preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

Tayu didn't know what preserved eggs were, but the contents of the porridge were not unusual.

Rice, shredded ginger, shredded green onions, coriander and minced meat, seasoned with a little salt and chicken essence for freshness.After careful cooking, these ordinary ingredients may not be as amazing as the delicious food made with top-quality ingredients.But it's equally delicious, a kind of ordinary, ordinary, seemingly ordinary deliciousness.

good to eat.

Tayuya is not someone who has never eaten some delicious food. Although Orochimaru is inhumane, if you can become a high-level tool that he recognizes, he will not be stingy in daily enjoyment.

Tayuya has eaten a lot of delicious food, amazing delicacies made with various high-end ingredients.However, there has never been any delicacy that can give her as much warmth as this preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Those delicacies can satisfy her desires.It can also give your tired body a moment of rest and comfort after completing the mission.

However, after eating those delicacies, what I faced was still an indescribable endless nothingness.

Tayuya didn't know what this nothingness was before, and she didn't have much thought to care about it.All he could do was to take action quickly after a short rest, or continue the mission or engage in brutal training.For her, to be appreciated by Lord Orochimaru and not to return to the dark dungeon is all she strives for.

She had to work hard, very hard. As a girl, her natural physical weakness meant that she had to work harder than others in order to defeat countless competitors and ensure her status.

Day after day, year after year, day after day.When you open your eyes, you are practicing or on a mission. When you close your eyes, you have to be careful about whether someone is sneaking up on you. When you are eating, bathing, or going to the toilet, you are living in tension all the time.

She had completely forgotten why she was practicing so hard.

It was only now that a bowl of ordinary porridge reminded her of what she was here for.

Living is no longer like a walking zombie.No longer living like a piece of garbage that can be thrown away at any time, she longs for someone who can care about her, someone who can greet her when she comes back after a tiring day, someone who, no matter who he is, can be in a place called 'Home' awaits her.

Is this person Orochimaru-sama?

Not really, maybe not in the first place.No matter how hard you work, how good you are, or how difficult a task you complete, whenever you go back, you will be greeted with compliments that may be regarded as recognition, and a smile that makes people cringe.

It was the despair of falling into an extremely cold abyss and never being able to climb out.

Without this bowl of porridge, Tayuya might feel that his life would be like this.He worked hard for Lord Orochimaru, performed various tasks, and at least while he was still useful, he worked hard to maintain his current status, which was relatively good compared to other tools, until the day he was abandoned.However, this bowl of porridge gave her a warmth, a warmth that seemed or should not be here.

Let a person in hardship and despair see for the first time that there is a warm light in this world shining on her heart.

When there is this light, people are not willing to let it disappear.

"Hey, Zabuza!" Tayuya tried hard to suppress his fluctuating emotions, making himself look cold and ruthless and asked: "You surrender just because this food is delicious?"

"Why not?" Zabuza asked.

"Hmph, your loyalty is really..." Tayuya wanted to make a sarcastic comment, but when he thought that Zabuza was a traitorous ninja in the first place, and he was a traitorous ninja who wanted a coup, he changed his words and said, "Oh, I forgot. You are a rebel!"

"So what if she's a traitor?" Zabuza said nonchalantly: "If Junko-sama is willing to become the Mizukage, then I, Kijin Zabuza, will be Junko-sama's horse, charge forward, retreat behind, and sacrifice my life to pave the way. , no regrets.”

"Liar." Tayuya said coldly.

"Hmph." Zabuza snorted coldly and said unhappily to Tayuya's question: "If you think that I, the demon Zabuza, would surrender to Miss Junko just for this bowl of porridge, then you are too young. Look at me! In the first half of my life, I wanted to do something, but I didn’t find a goal, and I didn’t have any ideals. I just took it for granted that everything in Kirigakure Village could be changed as long as the coup was successful."

"But now I realize that I was wrong." Zabuza walked to the window and looked out the window and said, "Look outside! You know that not long ago, the country of Waves was actually ruled by a man named Kado. His Under the rule, the people are in dire straits. The people have no hope and don’t know what to do. Poverty makes the entire country look like a pool of stagnant water. Under Cardo’s rule, the people of the Country of Waves are so poor that they are almost wearing pants! And now, you are here See what has become of the people in the Country of Waves?”

"They are working hard, they can afford better clothes, they can go home and bring snacks to their children, and they no longer have to worry about what to eat tomorrow."

"Let's talk about filling the bowl just now." Zabuza said, "Did you know? Not long ago in the Land of Waves, a bowl left over after a meal could be licked clean by three children. Yeah, lick every grain of rice and every drop of oil off the bowl."

"As for me, do you think I want to kill my classmates? Do you think I was born cruel and ambitious? I just want to change Kirigakure Village and change everything. I can be on the battlefield Even if I die, I can cut off the heads of countless enemies on the battlefield, but why? Why should I personally kill those classmates who have been with me day and night? Why should I guard against my comrades instead of enemies? Why do people appear and It's not because I'm unfaithful or betrayal, but I still have to die at the hands of my own people? Why do we have to kill each other as brothers and classmates, even though we are the most trustworthy people in the future, we insist on killing each other!"

"This isn't right! This isn't right! It shouldn't be like this!"

"I am a ninja, and I should stick to my ninja way and live with honor or die under the enemy's sword." Zabuza said unwillingly: "Rather than die inexplicably in my own hands because of some exam. "

Zabuza gripped the window frame tightly with both hands and gritted his teeth and said: "I understand now that it is not enough to change the exam in the Blood Mist. It cannot change the Kirigakure Village! If possible, if Junko is great If Miss is willing, I will definitely support her to become the Mizukage. To change Kirigakure Village and make it an ideal place."

At least there won't be any more blood mist, at least there won't be fratricide.

"You should understand, right?" Zabuza asked back: "In fact, the most ordinary daily life is what I want to pursue and protect! I may not have the chance to change everything by myself, but if one day I saw a Kirigakure village. Students can go to school with smiles. Even if they can't become ninjas, they can still do other things. Even if they can't pass the exam, they can live in a different way. I can see that parents don't have to worry about their children. Comfort, you can see that they will not cry because of the loss of their children, you can see that they know that their children can go home on time every day, and they can let those children know that there are still people at home waiting for them.”

"I can see that so many homes in Kirigakure Village will not be broken!"

Family...

daily...

With no home and no routine anymore, Tayuya turned over.She didn't want to look outside, and she didn't dare to think too much. That light, that home, that warmth might be right in front of her, and she could get it as long as she stretched out her hand.But she was afraid again. She felt that it was impossible for her to return to the sun and warmth.

She was so scared, she was afraid that when she got used to all this and wanted to protect it all, she would have to return to Orochimaru's side.

Go into that dark snake cave and live as a tool, an excellent tool.

The only reward for performing tasks day and night is a little reward and recognition from the master, which makes him feel that he is a little higher than other tool people to gain psychological comfort.

She looked at the empty bowl, she was afraid but eager. If she could, she was really willing to try, maybe...

I don't know what happened, but Tayuya suddenly felt a little hopeful. She hoped that Lord Orochimaru could fight over.But instead of saving her, she was defeated by the two female ninjas, ran away in a panic, and would never appear here again.

In this case, I might be able to really live under the sun, even if the girl told me to take the 007 job.

As long as you have a home and an ordinary daily life, that is enough.

At least, there was a place where she could go back and hide, and she knew where...

There will always be someone there waiting for her to return.

Chapter 25 The undercurrent of Konoha

As for the wood escape technique, it has disadvantages because it is too conspicuous.

Nowadays, there are only a handful of ninjas in the entire ninja world who can use the Wood Release Technique, but to say that this Wood Release Technique has no benefits at all is to tell lies.This rapidly growing tree is a good building material for the ninja world.Most of the houses in the ninja world are made of wooden structures, and the trees directly created using the wood escape technique are tall, straight, and very large. The important thing is that this kind of wood used for confrontation between ninjas has excellent fire resistance. Corrosive, but also very strong.

It is the most ideal building material.

"So your way to make money comes from me?" Tomoko said with reluctance written all over his face: "You can imagine it, why don't you do it yourself?"

"Because I don't know how." Junko said confidently, "And I didn't destroy the town particularly badly."

The attack of the sound ninja and Tomoko's unscrupulous use of ninjutsu in the town caused extremely serious damage to the town.Rebuilding will require a large amount of money, and don't expect this cost to be scraped off from the daimyo and the nobles of Wave Country.If those guys don't try to take advantage of Junko, thank God. What else do they expect?

Of course, they were counting on Tomoko. After the battle, the villagers took a fancy to the wood that Tomoko made with the Wood Release Technique.

To say that these people are really smart, they use their brains to think of how to use these trees growing in the town.After discovering that these woods were corrosion-resistant, non-flammable, and very strong compared to other woods, Dazna felt that they were quite good materials for use as building materials.So he ordered his workers to cut down trees and build houses.

After Junko learned about this from Tatsuna, she had other ideas.

In the ninja world, the building materials, including most of the ninja villages, are wood.There is no shortage of wood in the ninja world, but there is a shortage of high-quality wood.

The wood produced by Tomoko's Wood Release Technique can be regarded as high-quality wood that is in great demand. As long as there is demand, there will be a market. If this wood can be exported in large quantities, the current financial gap can be quickly filled.And if the price is good, there is a high probability that you can quickly earn back the money for reconstruction.

"Isn't your ice good too?" Tomoko said: "Ice that can last for a long time should be in high demand in the ninja world, right?"

"Oh~ you put it like that." Junko said as if she had just woken up from a dream: "This is indeed something you can consider."

Ice cubes are also very versatile, and the demand in the ninja world may not be small.More importantly, if this business can really be done, then she will have a window to vent her magic power without having to accumulate it all.

Junko and Tomoko are thinking about how to open source.

Now Konoha is no longer quiet, wood escape technique!If you had thought that the information about the Country of Waves was someone's fraud, now you have to pay attention to this information.Wood escape technique!The signature ninjutsu of the first Hokage reappears in the Land of Waves.This alone is enough to attract the attention of the top management of Konoha Village.

"So, Tsunade has a baby outside?" Jiraiya frowned, holding two photos and looking at them carefully.

"I have to say." The third generation said with a tangled expression on his face while holding a pipe in his mouth: "They look so much like Tsunade when they were young, they are almost printed from the same mold."

They are very similar, these two girls look so much like Tsunade.If it weren't for the fact that he was Tsunade's teacher, he would have watched Tsunade grow up.At first glance, it really felt like someone gave him a photo of Tsunade when she was a child.

"Who is their father?" Jiraiya said with trembling hands: "If you calculate based on this age..."

"I don't know." The third generation sighed and said, "According to the information collected by the ANBU, their father should be someone from the Uchiha clan."

"They all have Sharingan eyes. They are not the kind of eyes that were dug out from the Uchiha clan. They are their own Sharingan eyes."

"The Uchiha clan." Jiraiya said, not knowing whether he was angry or had other thoughts: "Could it be..."

"Don't guess." The third generation stopped Jiraiya's random thoughts and said: "The only two children left in the Uchiha clan now, and if they are included, there are only four people. So who is Tsunade? Husband, this kind of thing has become a secret that you and I cannot know unless Tsunade herself is willing to tell it."

"I don't think Tsunade would be willing to say it."

In the past, the confidentiality work was done so well that there was no movement at all. Now there is no need to know the answer to this question.

Jiraiya hesitated for a long time, but finally said nothing.Almost all the Uchiha clan members were dead, and it was impossible for Jiraiya, one of the dignified Sannin, to take his anger out on the child.He still wants to save face.

"These two children, the one on your left is called Uchiha Junko, and the one on your right is called Uchiha Tomoko." The third generation pointed to the photo and said: "From the ANBU's research and judgment on their battle scenes, they at least have the qualifications of a jounin." Strength. Uchiha Junko is good at using ice-related ninjutsu, while Uchiha Tomoko can use wood escape."

"Jounin." Jiraiya looked at the photo and sighed: "It looks like they are all very capable."

"After all, it is the blood of the first generation." said the third generation.

After all, he is the blood of the first generation of adults, so it is expected to have such strength at this age.

"So old man." Jiraiya put away the two photos and said, "Is it mainly because of these two little girls that you asked me to come back this time?"

"Otherwise?" Sandai asked back: "My action was a bit late. Although I had received relevant information from the ANBU before, the people in the intelligence room thought it was useless information and did not send it to me. , If your old classmate hadn’t had some ideas about them and sent someone there, I might not have known about this until now.”

"Old classmate?" Jiraiya frowned and said, "Orochimaru?"

It seemed that Orochimaru would indeed be interested in them.But I just sent people there instead of going myself. It seems that I sent people to explore the truth.

"Orochimaru's men were defeated by them." Sandai said.

"Then their strength should be more than jounin." Jiraiya made an estimate and said.

"Then old man." Jiraiya asked: "What do you want me to do? Bring them back? Back to Konoha Village?"

Sandai did not answer directly, but took a puff of his pipe.He thought for a while and said: "Actually, I am already a little late. Some people have already sent people out before me."

"Whether you want to bring them back or take them somewhere else, you decide for yourself." Sandai said.

"What if they don't want to?" Jiraiya asked again.

"Then it's up to you." Sandai said.

It was up to him, and the third generation could not give any precise instructions to Jiraiya.The appearance of these two girls caught everyone off guard. Their appearance was so sudden.It appeared without the slightest warning, as if it fell from the sky and hit Konoha Village directly.

The third generation no longer wanted to pay attention to whether Tsunade kept it a secret too well, or whether the appearance of these two girls was too strange.

Their appearance seemed to bring something different to all the forces in Konoha, and their appearance seemed to bring something different to Konoha's future.Sandai didn't know what this different future was, but he always felt that it might not be a good thing to let these two girls stay outside.

The third generation could vaguely feel that they would return to Konoha sooner or later, and no one could stop them.

And what will their return to Konoha bring to Konoha?

The third generation cannot be sure, but since this is something in the future, let’s wait until the future.It was also good to let Jiraiya test the attitude of these two people towards Konoha first. He was already one step too late.But being a little late doesn't mean that he has completely lost. At least he still has a trump card in his third generation.

He was Tsunade's teacher, as well as Jiraiya.

Compared with Gen, who can basically only contact these two girls in private, he can let Jiraiya go openly.

All in all, as long as these two girls are not pushed to the root, it is the best outcome.

At this moment, Konoha has begun to have undercurrents due to the arrival of Junko and Tomoko, who are far away in the Kingdom of Waves.Junko also found her own way to open source.

Sell ​​wood and ice!

I originally wanted to buy them in bulk, but Tomoko rejected this plan.If they were to buy it as ordinary wood and ice, not only would they not be able to afford it, but it would also put a lot of pressure on them.The market can be infinite, but compared to the infinite market, their chakra and magic power can be limited.

It is simply fanciful to want to use limited chakra to satisfy an unlimited market.

What's more important is that these things are not completely irreplaceable. There are indeed fire-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and strong woods in nature.Similarly, the ninja world is not a technologically backward place that only uses natural ice, so if you want to compete as an ordinary item, you will not have any advantage at all.

If you want your stuff to produce the greatest benefit at the lowest price, you have to take a different approach.

Such as marketing!

It's like something like the 'Rice Immortal' or 'Sushi God' marketed by District 11 in the previous life.Junko's ice and Tomoko's wood can add added value through marketing, and it can't be said to be marketing at all.Junko's ice is indeed difficult to melt. At the same time, Tomoko can also create wood that is specially strengthened in certain aspects through targeted cultivation.

It is completely different from the things in the previous life that could only be compared with gimmicks.

Of course, there was another thing that also followed the start of foreign trade, and was even targeted by Gen's ANBU.

sugar!
