Exchange
When he returned to the village, he called for the broadsword along with the mission. The clerk who recorded the mission used a red pen to mark the mark, officially indicating that a former Leaf Ninja had left this world.
Due to the intensity of this battle and the glorious results of the battle, the village recorded an S-rank mission for me and all the Jounin. The other participants also recorded an A-rank mission.
For the village, this matter is over, but for us, it's just another funeral tomorrow.
War always required sacrifices. Everyone understood this principle, so they became more and more numb in the constant life and death. As killing machines, ninjas were even more numb. They not only ignored the lives of others, but also their own lives. However, one day, when this kind of sacrifice fell on the people around us, we realized that we weren't as numb as we thought. This was the best description of the present.
There was no rain, no rain. The sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly. To quote a saying,'The earth will still turn without anyone,' although I don't know if the world is still round.
At the funeral, no one was telling the story of the deceased, and no one was crying. It was very quiet, without a sound. Everyone just stood there quietly and did not make a sound. Everyone was doing their best.
He was mourning both Jiaotian and himself. From today onwards, no one would ever mention him again. His story would become an unspoken past, dissipating under the sky and disappearing into the dust of history. All that was left was the meaningless name on the tablet.
And when we, the living, die in battle, it will be the same. The people in the past were all like this, and the people in the future would also be like this.
There were only a few people attending Matsuo's funeral. There were only about 30 of them. Other than us, there were only a few friends who were on good terms with each other, and a few of them were ordinary villagers. Compared to the tens of thousands of people in Woodleaf Village, these few people were really nothing.
In fact, this could not be said to be the ruthlessness of the ninjas or the indifference of the villagers. It was just that in this era and during this period of time, such things happened too frequently, and there were too many heroes like this.
Take this funeral as an example. The previous batch of people had just left, and we used this venue. There are still people waiting for us. They will use this place after we leave. The road to and from the tablet was filled with people dressed in black and plain clothes.
After leaving the tablet, I quickly expelled the last trace of sadness from my heart. If I kept thinking about these things, it wouldn't be long before someone else came to hold a funeral for me. It was still early, so he could still cultivate for a while.
"Qijun, please wait a moment." A voice from behind stopped me. It was from Shuimen.
"Oh, Captain Watergate, what's the matter?”I asked politely.
"I do have something to discuss with you.”
"Please speak."
"I have read your theory on chakra transformations and transformations many times. I agree with many of your theories, especially the part about the chakra transformations of the wind element. Now I want to create a ninjutsu related to it, but I'm afraid that my ability is not enough, so I want to ask Qijun to study this technique with me.”Watergate's explanation was rather polite. Perhaps he had already thought about the future 'spiral pill' before I did. He didn't need me, who didn't have the wind chakra, to study this spell. It's just that I was the one who proposed the theory and created the Thousand Birds first. In order to save face and not let others say anything, they could only drag me along and give me a free share of the research results.
"Can you consider it?" I asked with a bitter smile. This was no longer something I could decide. I had to go home and ask those old fellows in my family first.
"Of course you can. If you have any news, you can come to me at any time.”Watergate's personality was bright and open, but it didn't mean that he was an idiot in politics. He understood my situation and said kindly.
"I wish I could bring you good news.”I laughed.
After that, we happened to be walking in the same direction, so we had a rather pleasant conversation. Watergate was good at talking, and with the charm of his sunny and cheerful personality, we quickly became friends. The way they addressed each other had also changed from 'Captain Watergate' and 'Qijun' to 'Watergate' and 'Qi'.
"Qi, we've had a business meeting. Personally, I admire your character, talent, and strength." I'm also willing to have a private conversation with you regarding the Blink Technique.”
"Then I'll thank you for your kindness in advance.”I answered him with a smile. Is he trying to bribe me? It seems like the Spiral Ball is really important to him. It seems that my previous whim is about to receive a very rich return.
In fact, the probability of success was very high. To the elders of the family, this was just a transaction without capital. I'm working with Watergate. If it fails, my family and I won't lose anything. After all, Watergate won't spread the news that it failed to develop ninjutsu. On the other hand, if I succeed, my achievements will naturally belong to my family. After all, Uchiha is a large family. Many people have wind-type chakras, such as the soil, and my brother, Uchiha. With a technique that could be on par with Thousand Birds, it would be beneficial to both the clan's strength and reputation.
Cooperation was also beneficial for Watergate. If he works with me, who has already succeeded once in a similar field, and doesn't succeed. If he studied it alone, he would not succeed. It would only waste time and effort. Moreover, once this spell was developed, the Uchiha clan, which had a large number of wind-attribute chakras and was not as powerful as him, would definitely take the initiative to spend a large amount of manpower and resources to improve this spell. At that time, he only needed to help from the side and he would be able to obtain an improved version of this technique.
This was a win-win situation.
However, there was another problem. They all got what they wanted, but what did I get? What benefits did I get?
That was why Watergate had said those words. Only after I have obtained tangible benefits will I not 'work without putting in any effort' when I work. I will not simply ruin this 'thankless' matter in order to completely avoid it.
When Watergate thought about problems, he was well-rounded and knew how to distribute benefits. No wonder he could stand out among so many outstanding ninjas in the end, and even defeat the three ninjas to become the fourth generation Naruto.
Sure enough, as I expected, after I reported this matter to the second elder, he agreed almost without thinking, let alone discussing it with the other elders.
After reporting the situation to Watergate, he seemed very happy. He immediately generously gave me his secret to the Instant Movement Technique without any reservations, causing my impression of him to unconsciously increase by several points. Thinking about it carefully, it was terrifying. Unknowingly, the impression I gave him was almost full marks.
As for whether or not he truly held back, I didn't know. In any case, after a period of practice, it was an indisputable fact that my movement technique and instant movement technique would have a qualitative improvement. I had also obtained enough benefits. One shouldn't be too greedy.
Of course, I had to report this matter to Orochimaru. He was busy researching and had no time to care about me, so he was happy to kick me out.
The Watergate or the clan must have informed the higher-ups of Muye, so the two teams of Watergate and I won't be going on any missions for quite some time.
Other than Watergate and I who were busy with our research, the others were also busy with their own cultivation, especially that brat with dirt who was half-dead from my 'devil training' plan. However, the effect was still quite good. Other than that, I also asked Fuqiu to take some time off to practice with the soil. In the end, Fuqiu simply sent an old ninja from his family who retired due to injuries to specially train with the soil.
My days were simple and busy. I ran back and forth between my residence at the water gate and my clan all day long. Of course, I didn't neglect my cultivation either.
Perhaps it was my good work attitude and diligent work style that moved Watergate. Watergate was always able to give me something. For example, how to deal with different types of ninjas, how to deal with group battles, local customs, and so on. In short, the harvest was quite big.
As I became more and more familiar with Watergate, he introduced his teacher, Zirai, to me. After all, when we encountered some technical difficulties that we couldn't reach, Watergate always wanted this teacher who also had the wind attribute chakra as an experiment subject.
Although the current Yukari was not as frivolous as the one in the original work, she was still much easier to get along with than Orochimaru. Especially when he would sometimes make some harmless dirty jokes.
