After someone chooses social death, the impact on reality is only a few days.
After the heavy funeral, Miyagi quickly returned to calm.
The people who gathered here left one after another, and Gushan Bushui also took his family back, and sent Xiang Lin to Konoha Village along the way.
At the end of last year, Hyuga Neji unexpectedly won the first place among the annual graduates and became the strongest quasi-genin. After the beginning of the new year, if he passes the class placement test and selection, he will become a novice genin.
The path that our predecessors have walked has been walked by Xianglin and her classmates this year.
Students are starting to go to school one after another, and teachers are almost in place.
Only senior assistant teacher Mizuki took a long leave.
His wife Xiaochun's due date is approaching and she needs to be accompanied, and there are still a lot of troublesome things to do after the baby is born, so it is also a good thing to take this opportunity to take a good rest for a while.
Since being reprimanded, Mizuki, who rarely appeared on the front line of teaching, asked for leave, which did not have much impact. However, Umino Yinluka was a little busier.
Not only do I have to worry about the practice progress of the students in the class, but I also have to deal with some trivial chores.
This also makes Umino Yinluka feel obviously a little energetic recently.
With his connections and personality, he was not used to asking for help, so he had no choice but to hold on.
Fortunately, the basic knowledge teaching task for the graduating class is not too heavy. It mainly focuses on ninja preparation, familiarity with the ninja manual, and other common knowledge.
In the next year, in addition to summarizing the learning results of these years, it is also a period of final preparation for becoming a genin.
Xianglin and others, who had already known what was going on, absorbed the knowledge and experience step by step.
Outside of the Ninja School, Teacher Mizuki's wife, Kotsubaki, gave birth to a daughter in late February, slightly earlier than expected.
A few friends and colleagues were invited to gather together and talk about their joy.
After seeing off the guests, Shuimu asked with concern to Yin Luka, who stayed to help clean up:
"I heard that you have been working very hard recently. Didn't you ask anyone for help?"
"Everyone has their own things to do, so why trouble others with your own difficulties? In the final analysis, it's my lack of ability! No matter what, I can't delay the future of those children."
"Years ago, Uchiha Sasuke asked me for some advice on spiritual practice..."
"Did you teach him? It's not a good thing for him to practice too much ahead of his time now. He needs to lay a solid foundation."
"I know!"
Mizuki shook his head slightly and said,
"Didn't he ask you for advice?"
"Yes, but not many!"
"It can make him put down his pride and ask for help. It seems that the pressure Xianglin puts on him is really quite big."
Without the protection of the family, even the inheritance has been almost lost. What can I do?
There are only a few people he can turn to for help. How can he have the essence and excellence of Konoha Village for decades by exploring on his own?
Geniuses like Orochimaru only gained their current strength and knowledge based on the foundation of Konoha Village.
"My abilities are limited, so I can only do my best, do my best, and obey fate!"
Although Umino Yinluka is naive, he is not stupid. The troubles Uchiha Zuosuke is facing are not something he can interfere with at all.
Trying your best to do your duty is the limit.
"Has Zuosuke made any progress in the recent practical lessons?"
"The improvement is obvious, but Xiang Rin has also improved a lot. It's hard to say whether the strength gap has widened or narrowed. In addition, Naruto has also become a lot stronger."
"Really!"
In Umino Yinruka's class, there are only so many things worth focusing on.
"I will end my vacation on the 10th of next month at the latest. You can hold on for a while longer."
"It would be great if you could come back soon."
During this time, Umino Yinluka was indeed very tired.
In the past, when I had assistant teacher Mizuki helping me, I didn’t think it was really necessary to do everything in detail.
Doing it yourself is a bit beyond your capabilities.
After the two of them talked for a few more words, Umino Yinluka couldn't help but ask,
"What's your daughter's name?"
"I didn't think about it, otherwise it would be like Ruyue."
The so-called Ruyue means "changing clothes". The weather is still relatively cold, so thick clothes are still needed to keep warm. Therefore, Ruyue also means February.
"Isn't it too casual? If you are born in January, you will be called Mutsuki, and if you are born in a few days, you will be called Yayoi?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Your child, think about it carefully. It's been so long and you haven't made any preparations?"
"Then let's call it Kisaragi, keep it simple!"
A name that is too weird is not a good thing for a child.
Although naming after the season is a bit arbitrary, it is still rare to actually encounter the same name and surname.
As a ninja, it is not good to have strange names. For example, Yinluka's name is very similar to a dolphin, Kakashi is a scarecrow, and Mizuki means sunflower tree.
None of them have any special meaning.
Super nobles such as Gushan Bushina have very particular names, mostly based on family tradition and the origin of their beliefs.
There is really no need for such trouble in a civilian home.
"Like the moon, it sounds pretty good."
As long as you can distinguish it from others, it doesn't matter what you call it. If your daughter is dissatisfied in the future, she can just apply to change her name. It's not too troublesome anyway.
"It feels like it was yesterday when I first became a teacher and enrolled students."
To this day, Umino Yinluka still remembers his surprised and incomprehensible attitude when Gu Shanbu Shui brought Xiang Lin to sign up, as well as the expressions of the people around him as if they had seen a ghost.
The "Eternal Senior" gave up, sent his daughter over, and continued to ravage the sensitive nerves of Konoha ninjas.
The timid little girl back then will grow into an excellent ninja.
A cycle of six years has passed. Umino Yinluka has spent more than five years. In less than a year, he will say goodbye to the children he has raised for the entire year.
"In the future, you will get used to it as you experience it more."
"Maybe!"
Umino Yinluka smiled and did not say anything sad on this festive day.
"Mizuki, will you always be like this? It's too unfair to always be a teaching assistant and do some chores."
"Let's talk about it in two years! We have to wait until the child is older! It's hard to find such a good thing with more money and less work and no responsibilities!"
Mizuki, who told a joke, laughed a few times. In Yin Luka's complicated expression, he restrained his frivolous attitude and said seriously,
"Perhaps I will apply for transfer! With my criminal record, it is not good for me to be too close to the future of the village."
"Prince? That's too exaggerated..."
Umino Yinluka wanted to say some nice words and excuse Mizuki, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only laugh needlessly.
"You, if you can't say compliments, just say less and just do something practical."
Mizuki patted Umino Yinluka's shoulder and sighed,
"The tasks in Konoha Village are quite stressful now. Besides the first-line ninjas, there are also many positions. I might go to the field, or to a less sensitive second-line department."
The village issued a large amount of bonds to redeem the core property next to the main road in the village. Normal operations require a lot of manpower.
In the past, maintained by the Gushan family, I didn't realize that the maintenance of a supply chain alone and the circulation of bulk goods would require a lot of manpower and material resources.
Supplies shipped from overseas are transported to Shinjuku Town via large freighters and then sent to Konoha Village. The cost is horribly low.
If Konoha Village wants to maintain the same scale of logistics, it must dispatch a large number of psychic ninjas with time and space talents and replace them with large-capacity storage scrolls.
The talent of time and space, even among Konoha ninjas, is a rare talent. How can one carry a storage scroll to transport goods every day?
Until I do it myself,
Only then did the Konoha ninjas realize that the apparent strength of the Kosugi family was just the tip of the iceberg. It was invisible and intangible, and the true ability hidden out of sight was the most terrifying.
Fortunately, ninjas have outstanding learning abilities and strong adaptability. Thanks to the ninjas working overtime, they finally managed to feed this "hen that lays golden eggs".
In no more than five years, or as quickly as three years, the principal and interest of the bonds issued will be fully earned, and the rest will be pure earnings.
The price paid by the Leaf Village is to suffer for the ninja under his command.
There is nothing wrong with being bitter first and then sweet, and the future is full of hope.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had already planned to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy once the village's debt crisis was fundamentally alleviated.
It doesn't matter if it's Jiraiya or Tsunade, even Nara Shikaku or the immature Hatake Kakashi. Anyway, the older generation is still there and can calm the scene.
Under this situation, Konoha Village's demand for ninja manpower is astonishingly large. If Mizuki is in a semi-unemployed state, it is absolutely impossible to ignore it if there are no problems with his past resume.
Mizuki himself also knew that after the graduation of Xiang Rin, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, the value of the ninja school to his new owner, the Furusugi family, would be reduced. He would no longer stay in this place. It's of no use. It's better to change to a department that can continue to serve the Young Master.
"Oh? I haven't heard you mention it. Which department are you interested in?"
"I can't just go wherever I want!"
Mizuki shrugged pretending to be relaxed and said casually,
"Logistics warehouse management, transportation logistics, material supply, etc. It's not very sensitive, but the demand for manpower is huge, and the treatment is very good, but I am a bit tired."
"Isn't this... too condescending?"
"Wherever the village needs it, there will always be someone to do it. If it doesn't work out, there's nothing wrong with me doing garden construction, maintaining the training grounds, repairing the city walls, and guarding the gates. There's no danger, the harvest will be guaranteed during droughts and floods, and I'll get off work on time, and I'll be with you more. Wife and daughter."
"You, the more you talk, the more outrageous you are. These are all done by genin. Our village is not rich enough to let chunin do such chores. How about I help you ask about the school's assistance in building a branch? If you want, you can transfer over."
"Aid to build a branch?"
"You don't know? By the way, you weren't here during these times, so you didn't hear about it. The village plans to join hands with the local government to build a number of preparatory branches, which will broaden the channel for selecting ninja talents for the village."
"place?"
Mizuki understood as soon as he heard it, how could this so-called place be qualified to cooperate with Konoha Village on an equal footing?
Either the daimyo or the vest of the Furugi family!
The so-called running a school is probably one of the conditions of the transaction, and you can make more money by the way.
The ninja school in Konoha Village is semi-public and belongs to the reserve force of the ninja echelon. It is essentially the same as the "root" ninja, cultivating reserve forces for Konoha Village.
However, the Konohagakure Ninja School did not have a senior elder like Shimura Danzo to take the lead, and it failed to develop into a behemoth like the "Root" organization.
The nominal principal is actually the current Hokage. With the lessons learned from "Gen", Hiruzen Sarutobi will not create another "principal" and turn the ninja school into a semi-independent organization that listens to orders but not propaganda.
Another famous school is Inaba Academy. From Mizuki's point of view, it is an enlightenment school for common people. Not to mention making money, the Furusugi family subsidizes it every year. I don't know how much money it makes.
But is it really not profitable to run a school?
As long as you are ruthless, the education industry is one of the most profitable industries on par with medical care.
"I'm a little interested, Yin Luka. Please tell me carefully and I'll refer to it."
Next, Umino Yinluka told all the relevant matters and the gossip that was not known to be true or false.
"The teachers in the school basically know all this. If you want to go, just apply. I heard that the salary is quite good, but you have to go on business trips. People like you... have a family, and you can stay there all year round. Not going home is actually not very appropriate.
"
"It doesn't matter. I'll discuss it with Tsubaki, and it shouldn't be a problem. Nowadays, the transportation is convenient. Even if it's far away from Inaba Port, it only takes two days and three nights with good wind and water."
The kind of days where one or two months would pass with only one round trip. As the Gushan family has completed the construction of the canal network covering most of the canal network, the daily liner is full every day.
Many things that were originally only popular in developed coastal areas, as shipping has become more convenient, the inland Konoha Village has also begun to keep up with the trend of the times.
If it doesn't work out, we can arrange for Xiao Chun to retire and take the children with him to stay abroad.
Although second-tier technical ninjas like her are very rare, it is not wartime after all, so they are not very nervous.
What's more, after having children, there are many kunoichi who choose to retire and semi-retire, and no one will get stuck on such a trivial matter.
You can even ask Xiao Chun to apply for the ninja teacher qualification and then transfer there together. How great.
Taking advantage of the good time when the village is open for convenience, things that are usually difficult are easier to do at this time.
"Anyway, keep an eye out for me, Yin Luka. If there is any new news, please inform me in time. If it really comes to pass, I'll treat you to a big dinner."
"Then I'll look forward to it with hope."
------------------
In the Hokage's home office, looking at last month's expense report, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a pain in his heart. After seeing the income summary, he finally felt a little better.
The old man was really worried about the normal operation of the village.
Not far away, Jiraiya was sitting on the windowsill with his arms crossed and said with a smile:
"Looks like things are going well!"
"It still has some effect to say something with a shy face. As long as the village can get out of the quagmire as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if my old face is embarrassed."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with some displeasure,
"Can't you leave later? The village needs help!"
"The information about that organization is still waiting for me to investigate, so don't be careless!"
