The status of a jounin 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, it doesn't necessarily improve your competitiveness much." Mitarai Anko curled her lips and retorted casually,
"Have you not noticed? We... these female ninjas who have carved their own way, the circle of choosing a mate is actually quite narrow. Either find a male ninja with a common topic, or find someone outside the circle, such as a small businessman, a small shopkeeper, or an ordinary member of the society. We don’t look down on those with poor conditions, and we don’t look down on those with good family backgrounds.” This world is called the ninja world, but after all, ninja is a small and specialized profession. In addition to being able to fight and risk one’s life to make money, The income is high and 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.
You can fight, you are powerful, what is the fastest way to make money? Do the task? Being a bodyguard for a noble person? How can these be snatched away faster?
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 of all sizes form ninja villages, restrain their minions, put on polite clothes, put on sanctimonious faces, and start to reason
During the "literary struggle", some changes occurred. The order of one village and one country severely restricted the hands and feet of the ninjas. The combat power between the five major ninja villages maintained a dynamic balance. Only then did the secular society recuperate in the cracks, gradually develop and grow, and finally have the opportunity to turn away from the guests.
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 the heart of Chuunin Yuhiko, but stay away from Jounin Yuhiko, stay away.
The higher a ninja goes, the narrower his social circle becomes. For most things in life, it is enough to deal with a limited number of people.
For others, there is almost no basis for living together, and the circles are too far apart.
"But besides working hard to get promoted, what else can I do?" Yuhi Hong listened to her friend's words, but she didn't make any move.
"My father and grandfather are all ninjas. I have been working hard to become an excellent ninja since I was a child. Everything I think and learn is 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 that I like in the future who can tolerate my bad habits."
"Don't you want to change it?"
"Let's wait until I meet the person who can make me change willingly!" Mitarashi Anko waved her hand nonchalantly.
"Don't talk about me! Today is Asma's housewarming. We are here to congratulate him. He has a new home and is now 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 didn't refute. After all, Sarutobi Asuma was the protagonist today.
After talking quietly for a while, large plates of barbecue, pastries and drinks were brought out. With the excitement of eating and drinking, the atmosphere became warm and the private communication stopped.
Yuhi Kurenai was sandwiched between Mitarashi Anko and Uzuki Yuugao, and gracefully congratulated Sarutobi Asuma along with the others and expressed her gratitude for the hospitality.
In the ninja school, there were occasional conflicts, but after graduation, they grew up and 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 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, have 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 shinobi with keen senses, and they 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 it just now?" Yuhi Hong asked with a slight frown.
"It seems that there is a slightly malicious spiritual perception extending here!" Anko Mitarashi shrugged, and replied casually with a hint of drunkenness: "It's the Mizuki I told you, a very good teacher, because I made a mistake in my mission, I was reprimanded by the Sandaime, and I am on probation."
"That's him? This kind of keen mental manipulation ability is extraordinary. He has such a powerful specialty, why did he go to a ninja school?" Ninjas with mental talents are quite rare. They have excellent blessings in many fields, including illusions. , Yin Escape Secret Technique, Sealing Technique, Torture Technique 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, Yuhi Hong didn't take it to heart. Since the Sandaime and ANBU surveillance didn't find 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 pretty good mental talent, a pretty good aptitude, and a keen sense.
I almost got caught..." Putting mental awareness on others is like using a telescope to peek and get caught. It's not a good thing after all.
Ever since he drank the potion left by Orochimaru, activating the Tiger Seal, and experienced a life of near-death, Mizuki, who 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 feeling 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, Mizuki 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, I'm very busy these days and it's too late to come back. You don't have to wait."
"Huh?" The pretty woman with a braided braid who was about to fall asleep while lying on the table suddenly woke up.
"I made some soup for you! I've seen you so distracted recently. Are you too tired?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little worried." Mizuki looked at the steaming soup in the pot on the table and asked with a little warmth,
"Tide juice?"
"That's right!" Xiao Chun said a little embarrassed,
"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 ramen." Especially the former, which brings together two of Mizuki's most hated foods.
If you can avoid eating ramen and greasy pork, then you will definitely not 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, then add soy sauce and miso.
Assorted sushi is mainly made 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.
Mizuki prefers light Kenchang sauce and assorted sushi, but dislikes pork and ramen. Therefore, Uzumaki Naruto, who naturally dislikes tonkotsu ramen, is really incompatible 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 ingredients are clams or white fish, is relatively common along the southeastern coast and is almost essential in rituals to pray for safety at sea.
There are also Konoha villages located in the interior, but they are 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. Sitting on his knees 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 figured out 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 don't need a meal. It's been delayed for so long. It'll be early in the morning when I go 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. You have to continue working. It's better to rest early. What's more, there is no danger in Konoha Village." Is it really foolproof? Look at Uchiha more than two years ago You will know it on the night of the genocide.
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, come 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."
"Yeah." If it was before, Mizuki would lose his temper again if Xiaochun 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 rested.
Since his mental strength has been greatly improved, Mizuki feels that his energy has also improved by leaps and bounds. The amount of rest time he needs 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 after 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 also changed greatly. In the past, due to his own origin, he could not even come into contact with a truly reliable inheritance, so he had no choice but to accept the olive branch thrown by Orochimaru.
Now, with another thick thigh that is more reliable, Shuimu's restless heart has calmed down a little.
Anyone who can become an official ninja is not a fool. When his clever IQ took over 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 unconsciously a few times, and he continued to think.
"Also, that idiot Iruka doesn't seem to be easy to bully. Otherwise, Xiaochun 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 Xiao Chun.
If you have a narrow escape, just go on your own, and don't involve your close friends. Now, following Gu Shan Bu Shui seems to be less dangerous. Some radical things cannot be done, and plans must be changed.
