"Kabuto, please get up quickly." Makoto Uchiha helped Kabuto Yakushi up, "Don't call people randomly in the future.
I'm a little busy these days, so I don't have time to guide you right now.
According to my idea, next year you and Itachi will go to ninja school first to experience campus life.
As for the details, I'll catch up with you in a few days. "
Kabuto Yakushi sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere, and saw Uchiha Makoto winking at him. He immediately understood and nodded:
"Yes! Teacher Cheng! I'll leave first then."
Saying that, Kabuto Yakushi bowed slightly towards Uchiha Makoto and Terumi Mei, then turned and left.
"I'll go home first." Uchiha Makoto smiled and hurried home.
Although he felt a little bit better than Mi Mei, the assists provided by Shou Da and Kabuto Yakushi were too redundant, and they were simply adding drama to himself.
"Mom! Mom? Aren't you at home?" Uchiha Makoto stood in the corridor and called several times, but found that Uchiha Reika was not at home.
He walked to the living room and found a note under the vase in the middle of the dining table.
Uchiha Makoto picked it up and looked at it, only to see a message from Uchiha Reika written on it.
Looking at the date, she left the village yesterday with the clan leader's wife, Uchiha Mikoto, to travel to the town next to Konoha. She was not expected to return home until noon later.
The bottom line of the message also said asking Uchiha Makoto to help her take care of her flowers.
"I thought my mother would miss me when I was not at home, but now it seems that her life is really comfortable." Uchiha Makoto shook his head and laughed.
Uchiha Makoto returned to the room and put on a clean black suit with a white windbreaker.
Then he put a change of underwear into a handbag, then walked downstairs and picked up a small wooden basin in the bathroom.
Halfway there, Uchiha Makoto lowered his head and said softly: "Kurama, give me a day off today. I don't have time to tell you stories. I want to accompany Kirigakure's guests."
As soon as Uchiha Makoto finished speaking, he felt an instant heat in his lower abdomen, which soon became boiling hot.
"The pigs in the production team all need to rest! Do you want to tire me to death? I am here to perform a task. Do you think I want to accompany her?" Uchiha said.
"Hmph! I see you are very happy, and you don't mean to force yourself at all!"
What Uchiha Makoto didn't expect was that Kyuubi snorted and took the initiative to reply to him.
Uchiha Makoto defended himself: "Then, can I look unhappy when I accompany a guest?
This matter is related to the alliance between Konoha and Kirigakure, so naturally it must be taken very seriously.
The Terumi clan is the largest clan in Kirigakure, and Yuya Terumi holds a high position. If we can win over him and win his favor, the alliance between Konoha and Kirigakure will be more stable. "
"... Got it." The Kyuubi in Uchiha Makoto's belly was silent for a long time, and then suddenly replied coldly.
Uchiha Makoto then explained: "Besides, I am so busy today, even if I barely squeeze out time to tell you a story, I will probably only be able to tell half of it, and then you will blame me for breaking the story again!
I'm afraid it feels uncomfortable to wait for the next chapter. Do you think I'm right? "
"Hmph! Kid! Do you think I like listening to stories? This is just a pastime when I'm bored.
Go quickly! Go quickly! do not bother me! "Kyuubi snorted, looking very impatient.
"Oh." Uchiha Makoto responded, and soon found that his lower abdomen returned to normal.
Kyuubi is really difficult to deal with!
Although the first meeting was effective, the subsequent training progress almost stagnated.
Although Uchiha Makoto received initial cooperation from Kyuubi - no need for chakra to interfere with his training, that was all.
Except when Uchiha Makoto told Kyuubi a story, Kyuubi was sleeping at other times and basically ignored him, and was always cold.
If he didn't have some understanding of the original work, Uchiha Makoto would have doubted whether Kyuubi was really scheming, pretending to cooperate with him, making him paralyzed, and then taking the opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop.
"Is the Kyuubi half of Naruto the tsundere, and am I really cold and cold?"
Uchiha Makoto thought about it carefully, wasn't he just the tool who told Kyuubi's stories?
If it weren't for the interesting stories from the flower growers, Kyuubi would probably ignore him.
"It's better to be a human girl. How proactive are you? Do you have time to tell her? She may have even thought of the name of the child." Uchiha Makoto shook his head and laughed, but he didn't like this type of girl either. .
On the contrary, people like Terumi Mei are quite interesting.
It was rare to see her blush today.
Sure enough, there was nothing he couldn't seduce.
This is probably the innate advantage of having high charm.
At first, his talent was mediocre, but it seemed that his strengths were all in his body.
Girls who love to laugh will not have bad luck, and handsome boys will not have bad luck either.
Uchiha Makoto walked out of the house holding the wooden basin, only to see Terumi Mei squatting down and looking at the flowers in the yard.
"My mother planted these." Uchiha Makoto came to Terumi Mei.
Terumi Mei smiled slightly, "Then your mother should be an easy person to get along with."
"That's true." Uchiha Makoto recalled that his mother had never been angry with him since he was a child.
After all, although Uchiha Makoto's grades in the ninja school were only mid-range, his overall quality was still quite good.
In addition, his mental age is not that of a child, so naturally he will not be naughty or troublesome.
Mother and son get along like friends.
In other words, Uchiha Reika is the one who seems more childish.
"What are you doing with the tub, and what's in the bag?" Terumi Mei looked at Uchiha Makoto with confusion.
Uchiha Makoto smiled and said, "Here are a change of clothes."
"A change of clothes?" Terumi Mei was slightly startled.
"That's right! Aren't you going to go shopping in Konoha? The hot spring hotel on East Street is very comfortable! If you go as a man and a woman, you can get a discount!" Uchiha Makoto explained.
hostel? ? ?
Comfortable? ! ?
Discount! ? !
One man and one woman?
Terumi Mei's eyes widened, her pink and alluring little mouth opened slightly, and she looked at Uchiha Makoto with a surprised look on her face.
Her face darkened slightly, and there was a hint of anger in her voice, "Hotel?! Do you know what you are talking about?
Maybe you used to take girls to places like this, but I'm different!
How many days have we known each other? You actually think about this kind of thing? ! "
Terumi Mei's original curiosity and affection for Uchiha Makoto suddenly dropped a lot.
Uchiha Makoto's heart skipped a beat, knowing that she had misunderstood.
But is what he just said so easy to cause misunderstanding?
"No! I was even here for our first kiss! Of course, that's not the point!" Uchiha Makoto shook his head repeatedly, "In a hot spring hotel, isn't the point of the hotel the hot spring in front?
I thought you didn't have a good rest because of the rush, so I wanted to take you to a hot spring to relieve your fatigue.
As for a man and a woman getting a discount, that is the marketing strategy of the hot spring hotel.
As long as a man and a woman are traveling together, no matter what the relationship is, you can get a 30% discount and free fruits and drinks.
This is just a way for the boss to attract customers. This is a serious hot spring hotel, and there is no such thing as mixed bathing for men and women.
you misunderstood! "
"Do you really think so?" Terumi Mei stared at Uchiha Makoto with a suspicious face and said doubtfully:
“According to the plot in the novel, the girl shouldn’t be tricked into going to the hot spring first, and then told to take a rest upstairs.
Later, in order to save money, the two of them were in the same room, and then they cajoled her in various ways, saying that they would only look at each other and not move around. "
"You also read novels?" Uchiha Makoto looked confused, and then explained: "Of course I wouldn't have such an idea!
The hot spring hotel is located in the best part of East Street. The street next door is a meatball shop. I want to take you to eat meatballs after taking a bath.
You may not believe me now, but when you go, you will know that I did not lie to you.
The hot spring hotel is diagonally opposite the embassy, where the Kirigakure delegation stayed.
Do you think I would take you there if I had evil intentions towards you?
From beginning to end, I just wanted to take a bath and eat a meatball. "
Seeing that Uchiha Makoto's expression and tone were a little excited, like a child who had been wronged, Terumi Mei also felt that she might have misunderstood.
However, the book said that good-looking boys are very good at deceiving, especially very good-looking boys like Uchiha Makoto. Terumi Mei did not completely let down her guard.
"Maybe... I misunderstood." Terumi Mei no longer had the confidence to speak just now.
"Maybe?! You must have misunderstood!" Uchiha Makoto said angrily, "If you want to take a bath, you have to go back to the embassy to get a change of clothes first.
I've obviously considered this kind of detail for you, but you actually suspect that I have bad intentions?
If you normally read novels, don’t read those kinds of novels that are not serious! "
Only then did Terumi Mei realize that she really had to go back to the embassy to get a change of underwear.
"It's obvious that what you said is too ambiguous." Terumi Mei said with a girl's coquettishness, her face slightly red and her mouth stern.
But she added at the end, "I apologize."
"No, I forgive you." Uchiha Makoto was not angry at first, but when he saw Terumi Mei's rare girlish side, he didn't care even more.
I just don’t know whether it was because his words were ambiguous and impure, or because Terumi Mei was too dirty.
"Then... let's go." Terumi Mei looked a little unnatural and ran out of the yard first.
"Wait for me for a while." Uchiha Makoto followed.
Terumi Mei's steps were getting faster and faster, and when she reached the corner of the street, she suddenly covered her face with her hands.
Uchiha Makoto had no choice but to speed up his pace.
...
"Ah ~ this is life!"
Uchiha Makoto sighed like an old man with a long beard.
He was half lying in the hot spring, holding a wine glass in his hand and taking a sip. There was a small bottle of rice wine next to him.
As an adult, he can already drink.
However, Uchiha Makoto did not try high-alcohol wine, but this rice wine, which was like a drink, sweet and refreshing.
Of course, this is also given for bathing in hot springs.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s still lunch time, but there are very few people bathing in the hot springs. There are only three people in the whole pool.
Since the pool was very large, each of the three of them had a corner. Under the rising fog, Uchiha Makoto couldn't even see the other two people.
"Does the second-level four-pirate BUFF only have a 1% chance of releasing 'Niko's Help'? The probability is indeed too low.
But according to my luck, I should still be able to pop out a few. "
Uchiha Makoto was lying in the hot spring, checking the attributes in his system panel:
[Physique: 33.6], [Strength: 36.9], [Agility: 34.8], [Mental Power: 49.99],
[Chakra: 5200 (???)], [Eye Technique: Sharingan (Three Magatama Ultimate)]
Uchiha Makoto's physical strength has been improving due to basic physical training and the accelerating progress of the 'Physical Activation Technique'.
However, his mental power stopped. After the cultivation of [Wuji Way] hit a bottleneck for the second time, he was unable to improve his mental power.
The performance of the pupil technique is also the best of three magatama.
Whether he received great mental stimulation or injury, which led to the opening of the Mangekyō Sharingan, or he opened his eyes through another breakthrough of mental power, this is a feasible method.
Of course, Uchiha Makoto is more inclined to achieve mental breakthroughs.
Because this means that as long as the mental power continues to break through, the level of the Mangekyo Sharingan will definitely increase accordingly.
Even if he reaches a certain level and stops, it will definitely not be due to mental power, but due to a lack of chakra from the Otsutsuki clan.
Just because the improvement of mental power can increase the power of illusion, Uchiha Makoto will not give up this path.
Before, he even wanted to hold it in for a few years and directly exchange the "Void Code" worth 100,000 gold coins.
After all, it is shown above that the "Void Code" can purify spiritual power and also has extremely strong soul attack capabilities.
If Uchiha Makoto's body was a pool, he could only hold so much liquid and weigh so much.
But if he can't enlarge the pool, he can only increase the density of the liquid poured into the pool. In this way, although the volume does not change, the weight increases a lot.
This was what Uchiha Makoto originally thought.
But how many years would it take to hold back 100,000 gold coins?
So far, the system’s largest reward is this time’s [Four Pirates BUFF·Level 2], worth 25,000 gold coins.
And the ones given were not gold coins.
It's a bit too wasteful to save so much money just for the improvement of a mental attribute.
Although the Void Code may be really strong, it cannot instantly increase Makoto Uchiha's combat power.
After you get it, you still need to practice.
On the contrary, as long as one-tenth of the gold coins, with 10,000 gold coins, you can buy two complete outfits, which will immediately increase the actual combat effectiveness.
But after all, equipment is an auxiliary, and your own growth is the most critical.
"I'm afraid there is no way to qualitatively improve chakra in a short period of time. Although Kyuubi can get along with me peacefully now, it has not yet developed enough trust. We cannot place bets on it at critical moments.
The improvement of the attributes of 'Niko's Help' is very important. Even if the explosion rate is low, as long as the base number is increased, there will naturally be a chance to explode.
It doesn’t need to be much, as long as it can increase my mental power by 0.01, I should have the Mangekyō Sharingan.
At that time, it will be a qualitative change for my overall strength.
It seemed that not only could I not be idle recently, but I had to try my best to find tasks from Minato-senpai. "
Uchiha Makoto is not a murderous person, but in today's troubled times, outside the village, there are three or four mountain bandits and robbers running rampant on the top of ten mountains.
People who go out on business, even if they don't ask for ninja protection, at least recruit a team of samurai to accompany them.
For these bandits and robbers who killed innocent people indiscriminately, Uchiha Makoto naturally killed them one by one.
Not to mention that in some places, there are even small gangs of wandering ninjas organized to cause trouble.
One of the long-term tasks issued by the Fire Country daimyo is to clear out the bandits in the territory.
In addition, in addition to the five major countries, there are also wars between small countries.
These are Uchiha Makoto's opportunities to obtain 'Niko's help'.
The two deaths in the Battle of Mount Kikyo made Uchiha Makoto develop a good habit of caution.
But as a ninja, sometimes strategy and caution are useless in the face of absolute strength.
"I'll go find the Fourth Generation tomorrow to see if there are any large-scale combat missions. I'll have a good rest today."
Uchiha Makoto relaxed wholeheartedly and stopped thinking about it.
About half an hour later, three people suddenly appeared beside him.
"Huh? Ryosuke? Ao? Yuya-sama?!"
Uchiha Makoto was stunned.
"Makoto?"
"Makoto-kun?"
The three of them were also stunned for a moment, not expecting to meet in the hot spring.
Uchiha Makoto asked and found out that Uchiha Ryosuke was ordered to greet Kirigakure's few people, who had the same mission as him.
"Mr. Cheng, didn't Master Ming come to find you? Why are you here alone?" Qing asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Terumi Yuya looked suspicious when he heard this, "Mei is looking for you? Don't you think..."
"Mingsang went shopping for clothes, and it was not good for me to go with a boy, so I made an appointment with her and took her to visit Konoha's attractions an hour later.
Speaking of which, I've been soaking for almost thirty or forty minutes, and it's almost time. It's time for me to leave.
Goodbye, everyone. "
Uchiha Makoto replied calmly, and stood up unhurriedly as he spoke.
"This kid..." Terumi Yuya frowned slightly.
"Master Yuya, what's wrong?" Qing asked.
Terumi Yuya said: "This kid's body is better than he looks on the surface, and he is developing well."
"Cough cough cough..." Qing fell back due to his heavy breathing and drank two large mouthfuls of bath water.
After Uchiha Makoto left the bathroom, he quickly asked the landlady to go to the women's bathroom and call Terumi Mei out.
Then he actively persuaded her to go shopping in Konoha's clothing stores.
...
Uchiha Makoto basically spent the next half month like this.
Even if there are tasks in the middle, they won't be too far from the village and can basically be solved on the same day.
