The sea breeze is warm.
The sun is warm.
In the afternoon, to avoid the hottest sun at two o'clock, Bai Yu took Ino for a walk on the street. The two of them held the specialty iced coconut in hand and headed to the beach in the lower left corner of Uchiha Shinobu Village, which was planned as a seaside tourist attraction.
The two of them walked in the cool tea mountain tunnel.
When approaching the exit.
I can already step on soft sand.
Bai Yu handed the coconut in his hand to Ino, took the initiative to squat down in front of Ino, and helped her take off her ninja shoes. This move made Ino blush with embarrassment, and she said in her heart that this guy is so nice, she is really nice. like.
The two walked out of the tunnel with bare feet. After a brief transition from darkness to light, their sight returned again.
Look around.
blue sea, blue sky.
Seagulls line up in a straight line or change into a herringbone shape, soaring in this sea area. Since the development of fishery in the country of tea, these ornamental seabirds have gained weight one by one.
It is also because of the developed fishing industry.
Many beautiful seabirds from other places are also happy to go to the shore of the Country of Tea to get some sea fish to eat, adding a lot of embellishments to the Uchiha seaside scenic area, supplementing the ecological circle and making it full of vitality.
The gentle sea breeze ruffled Ino's hair.
Ino held a coconut, her eyes were shining, and she looked at Bai Yu who was carrying ninja shoes for her. Especially when she saw the boy wearing blue and white short-sleeves and his straight back, she wanted to pull him up with a lunge and let him carry her from there. Take a stroll on the beach.
Bai Yu noticed something strange, looked back and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"It's okay, you haven't told the story about you being enemies with Sunagakure Village for five minutes. Go on, I want to hear it!" Ino raised her hand to brush away her flying hair, squinting her eyes and smiling sweetly.
Bai Yu held the coconut, raised his head and laughed loudly: "I've finished talking about this. Let me tell you the story about how I was an enemy of Yunyin Village!"
"Eh?" Ino took a sip from the straw on the coconut and exclaimed: "Why are you still related to those scary guys in Hidden Cloud Village?"
"Is it scary?"
"yes!"
"Okay, there is a story about being an enemy of Iwagakure Village later."
"Eh???"
The two of them were almost touching each other, walking on the edge of the beach, letting the weak waves wash over their feet.
Between jokes.
When Ino found seashells or starfish shells, her eyes lit up and asked Bai Yu to help her pick them up with a seal scroll. These were natural souvenirs from the Uchiha Ninja Village.
stop-and-go.
The time was spent in laughter and laughter.
Ino played with Bai Yu for most of the day. When she started from the beach and was about to reach the end of the beach, she suddenly remembered Naruto's instructions before she set off. Ino looked at Bai Yu's soft face and smiled:
"right!"
"Naruto asked me to bring you a few words."
"He is living very well in Konoha recently. He studies the ninjutsu you gave him seriously every day. Naruto originally wanted to apply to visit the Uchiha Ninja Village, but for some reason, Lord Jiraiya rejected it. His application.”
"Naruto also said."
"When he graduates from the Ninja School and has the freedom to carry out tasks, he will definitely come to Uchiha Ninja Village to find you."
"Oh, and Naruto wants you to convey this to Sasuke."
"Next time they meet."
"Naruto will definitely defeat him with dignity."
Ino carefully recalled what Naruto asked her to convey to her before she set off. After saying that, she had completed the task and added by the way:
"That guy Naruto really wants to come over. I can see that it's a pity."
After hearing what Ino said, Bai Yu nodded and said:
"I will convey to Zuosuke what Naruto wants to say to him. It is normal for Naruto's application to be rejected by Jiraiya. If he can easily go to the Uchiha Ninja Village, the old guys in the top management of Konoha will probably jump out first. promise."
Ino expressed confusion, blinked in confusion and said:
"why?"
"Do you still remember when Danzo was still there, the day the ANBU summoned me, when Naruto's body was covered with orange-red chakra and he almost went berserk?"
"Yeah!" Ino recalled that scene and shuddered all over.
The evil-like chakra emanating from Naruto is still fresh in her memory. Fortunately, Shikamaru asked them to forget the experience of that day, so no one went into detail about the reason.
Bai Yu looked up into the distance and explained calmly:
"The nine-tailed demon fox is sealed in his body. It is a kind of ninja creature that contains huge chakra in the ninja world, which is called a tailed beast. And a tailed beast sealing container like Naruto is also called a tailed beast in the ninja world. It’s the jinchūriki.”
Ino lowered his head in thought, shook his head helplessly and said, "I seem to understand. It turns out that the rumors in the village are true."
Bai Yu continued to explain:
"Jinchūriki are like the ultimate weapons in all major ninja villages. No ninja village is willing to send them to other ninja villages unless it is a war."
Of course "Fu" is an exception.
Ino sighed:
"No wonder the Uchiha Ninja Village was often targeted in Konoha through the Demon Fox Rebellion. Lord Jiraiya would deny Naruto's application. Then wouldn't Naruto lose his freedom forever?"
Bai Yu shook his head and said:
"Not necessarily. Jinchuuriki are also human beings. It depends on how the village takes care of them. I still want to believe that Konoha will give Naruto freedom after he graduates."
The premise is that Tsunade is in charge.
Of course, Jiraiya would probably also give Naruto his freedom.
"I hope so. Thinking about it this way, I feel that Naruto is really pitiful." Ino felt a little ashamed of her previous poisonous mouth towards Naruto.
She could also understand Bai Yu when he was in Konoha Ninja School.
Taking care of Naruto.
That guy has no father and mother, and is already very pitiful. He is also guarded by the Ninja Village as the ultimate weapon. If it were someone else, such as an extreme guy like Zuosuke, he would definitely go berserk when he grows up.
The two are chatting.
From the starting point on the beach, we walked to the end point.
Bai Yu took the finished iced coconut from Ino's hand and threw it into the trash can on the edge of the beach. After doing this, he looked at the setting sun that was about to fall into the sea and asked with a smile: "We still have to walk for a while. Circle?"
Ino watched the sunset, slowly sat on the soft beach, and said a little tiredly: "I'm a little tired, Bai Yu, I want to take a look at where you planted the scented tea seeds I gave you before."
"Okay!" Bai Yu squatted next to Ino, cleaned the fine sand off her insteps, put on her shoes, turned around, squatted in front of her, and said softly: "Get in the car... Bah, the road is a bit far, I'll carry it. You go over."
"whee……"
Ino smiled playfully, showing her white teeth, and immediately cheered up. Under the golden light of the setting sun, she always felt that all this was like a dream. She did not hesitate, firmly grasped everything in front of her, and lay on Bai Yu's back.
Swish——
Bai Yu used the teleportation technique and jumped between the buildings of the Uchiha Ninja Village with the light Ino behind him, heading towards the Tea Mountain directly opposite the Uchiha Building.
That flower tea garden.
Bai Yu went to check it out in the past few days. It must be said that Wasabi Jiro was very careful in his work and seemed to know that the person who gave him the tea seeds was very meaningful to him.
Wasabi Jiro had people specially fence the tea garden, built a pavilion next to it, and arranged for manpower to carefully care for it every day.
It didn't take a few minutes.
Bai Yu carried Ino on his back and jumped up to the tea garden. He stopped at the flower tea garden facing the Uchiha office area, found the pavilion and sat down.
That's when I discovered it.
Ino held his neck tightly with her hands and fell asleep, breathing evenly and very relaxed, until Bai Yu slowly placed her on the pavilion seat. Ino suddenly woke up, pursed her lips in embarrassment, checked whether there was any leakage, and grinned playfully. With.
"If you're tired, you can sleep a little longer."
Bai Yu sat next to her, looking at the flower tea garden with green buds growing in the tea field, and said softly.
Ino shook his head:
"I've finally come to the Uchiha Ninja Village. I can't waste such precious time like this. Come on, I'll tell you how to cultivate high-quality scented tea. This is the secret cultivation technique of the Yamanaka family whose status is not inferior to the Heart Turning Technique."
Saying that, Ino jumped excitedly into the tea garden.
Bai Yu suddenly remembered Hai Yi's helpless expression, and could only keep up with Ino's pace with a dumbfounded expression.
On the economic front.
Master the means of cultivating high-quality tea trees.
It is indeed more important than the art of turning the mind.
Ino squatted beside the germinating seedlings of scented tea seeds, carefully observing the soil, fertilization, irrigation, temperature and other conditions. After checking, he said with great satisfaction:
"Bai Yu, your Uchiha Ninja Village is great, there are actually experts in tea cultivation!"
She gave the precious scented tea seeds to Bai Yu.
But I didn't expect Bai Yu to be good at planting.
Ino is not the kind of girl who is ignorant. She knows that there are specialties in the art industry. Bai Yu is a good fighter, smart and good at business, but he is definitely a novice when it comes to growing tea.
So I wouldn't say give the seeds to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu must achieve the results she wants.
But the result in front of me.
Ino was very satisfied.
Bai Yu smiled and said: "I am also lucky to receive a genius in this field."
Ino smiled softly and slightly shyly: "From now on, I will control the tea and flower industry of your Uchiha Ninja Village. You will be very lucky, hehe!"
The two squatted together.
No more teasing.
Entering the learning mode where you teach and I learn, a good partner is a complementary existence. When the two are serious about one thing, the other half can often play a role in promoting the progress of things.
As a result, a prompt popped up in front of Bai Yu's eyes:
"Proficiency in growing scented tea +24!"
"+25!"
"+14!"
Uchiha Office Building.
Yanying's office.
Zhisui completed the dinner arrangements, entered the office, and told the information to Bai Yuying's clone who was handling official business.
Bai Yuying stood up.
He relaxed.
He raised his head and stared at the tea garden directly opposite the office building, and said with emotion: "Shisui, you are not young anymore, it is time to find yourself a girlfriend or something. The ninja world gets married early, just like your ancestors, Mirror, left heirs early. "
Shisui: "..."
Does your shadow clone talk so much?
"Tsk, tsk, disappear quickly and tell your real body the information about the start of this dinner party," Zhishui was a little impatient at being urged to marry, and looked like he was going to take action to physically remove Bai Yu's shadow clone.
Bai Yu's shadow clone burst into laughter and hurriedly hid behind the desk, waving his hands and saying, "I'll do it by myself, I'll do it by myself, you don't need to do anything."
biu——
Bai Yuying's clone formed a seal with his hands, turned into smoke, and returned to the tea garden of Chashan Mountain. Bai Yu's real body was squatting in the tea garden, talking and laughing with Ino.
In the tea mountain flower tea garden.
Bai Yu's expression was stunned, and he accepted the message from the shadow clone. He couldn't help but laugh at the scene where his shadow clone teased Shisui.
Ino asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay. Over at the Uchiha Building, the dinner for the Konoha escort team has started. Let's go back!"
Bai Yu looked towards the brightly lit direction in the darkness.
Ino looked at the boy's attractive side face and felt a little reluctant, but still nodded obediently and said, "Okay!"
The two jumped down the mountain in an instant.
This moment is no better than when they went up the mountain. If a Konoha ninja saw their friendly relationship and spread the news back to Konoha, Haiichi would probably be so excited that he couldn't sleep for days and nights.
Reading with rice balls
…
…
The spacious hall on the first floor of Uchiha was now decorated into an exquisite banquet layout.
The lights are bright.
The house was full of guests and friends.
The dinner started smoothly under the auspices of Fugaku, the great elder of Uchiha. A group of Uchiha jounin sat together with the Konoha ninjas who had disliked each other in the past.
Purely because there is no conflict of interest at this time.
Uchiha ninjas and Konoha ninjas were laughing and talking at the wine table. Anyway, now everyone is performing their duties, and they no longer need to look down on anyone, nor do they need to deliberately target each other.
Most Uchiha ninjas lamented that when they served as guards in Konoha, the law enforcement was too strict.
I thought the Konoha ninja would tease them.
But the Konoha ninjas all missed the time when the Uchiha ninjas were still there, and complained privately that since they left, the crime rate in Konoha has soared for a while. During that time, the village was really full of chaos, until Jiraiya After returning to the village, things gradually calmed down.
Many Uchiha ninjas suddenly seemed to understand but not understand.
I seem to understand something.
At the beginning, they really couldn't understand in Konoha why they, who worked conscientiously and enforced the law, did not get the respect they deserved.
When the nine-tailed demon fox invaded, the village began to suspect and target them without even investigating.
Now I understand.
It was probably because their impartial law enforcement had offended people who were seeking interests in the shadows, such as Danzo, Orochimaru and others, that they were suppressed and targeted by these people.
But all this is now a thing of the past.
They would not feel lucky because the crime rate in Konoha had soared, but it showed that what they did was the right thing, which made them feel very happy.
Over here at the main table.
Fugaku, the great elder, controlled the situation and took good care of Hong and the senior management of Konoha, saving Bai Yu a lot of trouble.
Bai Yu sat at the head table.
Sitting at the next table were Ino, Fu, Qianna, Kaoru, Maki, Sasuke, Shisui, Sakura, Shikamaru, and other boys and girls.
The banquet came to an end soon.
The Konoha ninjas were sent to the reception desk amidst the laughter of the Uchiha ninjas. Their mission had been completed. After tonight and tomorrow, Kurenai would lead the team and return to Konoha.
The starry sky in the Uchiha Ninja Village is clear and beautiful.
The stars in the sky are like ripples in the sea, reflected in the dark night, forming an excellent background.
Bai Yu personally escorted Ino back to the reception. Unfortunately, on the way, he saw the sneaky Zuosuke following Sakura. Ino was shocked, fearing that Zuosuke would make another sneak attack on Sakura. She originally wanted to stand He came out, but was pulled by Bai Yu.
The two looked at each other.
Bai Yu shook his head and said, "Let's follow him first and see what happens next."
Ino nodded slightly worriedly.
Zuosuke looked around, but didn't notice any familiar figures. He suddenly stepped forward quickly and grabbed Sakura's right forearm.
Corner alley.
Ino's eyes widened when he saw this scene.
But the next moment.
After Sakura turned around, she looked at Zuosuke-kun, who was thinking about her but was a little scared now, with a surprised look on her face.
Zuosuke lowered his head in embarrassment, took out a box of pink hairpins from his arms, and said weakly: "Sakura, I'm sorry, I thought about what happened during the day seriously, and it was indeed my fault. This is what my mother asked me to give to you. Your gift, I hope you...can forgive me."
At the end of the street.
Ino and Bai Yu looked at each other again, and both of them showed aunty smiles at the same time. Normally, Zuosuke was so stubborn, but with Mikoto's guidance, it was quite easy to change key matters.
…
…
The next day, early in the morning, Konoha's team escorting the seedlings had assembled and was preparing to return to Konoha to return to life. Among the crowd, Ino kept looking around.
Shikamaru stood beside her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, that guy will definitely come to see you off!"
Ino nodded and pulled out a sealing scroll from his ninja tool bag.
Shikamaru looked around the Uchiha Ninja Village and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a good place to live!"
"Shikamaru, do you think so too?" Ino squinted and smiled, "When you get married and have children, you can consider living here after you retire."
"Well, I have this plan. After all, my dream is to have an ordinary wife, have one or two children, escape from the disputes in the shinobi world, and live the rest of my life quietly." Shikamaru said, looking up at the blue The sky shows a longing expression.
yesterday afternoon.
While Ino and Sakura were dating, Shikamaru accompanied Kurenai and looked around the Uchiha Ninja Village several times with the mission of inspection.
The two of them took the survey mission entrusted by Jiraiya.
After all, even allies need to know each other's development. Apart from not knowing the core secrets of Uchiha, this can be regarded as an aboveboard acquisition of superficial intelligence.
Every time Shikamaru passed a tea mountain, he could easily spot the details. He could only sigh that the person who designed the tea mountain was really a genius. Both the defense system and the drainage system were excellent.
Take one of the fishing villages.
In terms of the large fields they had passed through before.
Usually close to the seaside.
Once the dry season arrives.
Insufficient rainfall.
Will enter the dry season.
The surrounding fresh water rivers and even lakes will not dry up. Instead, because the river beds are low, seawater will pour back and fill the rivers and lakes. This phenomenon is called a "salt tide." Shikamaru has read about it in books. .
However, Uchiha's tea mountain drainage system has a complete set of means to deal with seawater backflow, which perfectly solves the problem of dry periods.
Shikamaru collected his thoughts.
In front of the team, Kurenai gave the order for the team to adjust their status. Ino's heart twitched. She glanced at the newborn sun on the sea level, and then looked at the direction of the Uchiha Building. Despite Shikamaru's promise, her heart Still a little uneasy.
In fact, Shikamaru was also worried.
If Bai Yu didn't show up.
He had to ask for a leave from the red captain at all costs, and accompany this silly girl from Inoga Dieli to meet the young man. After all, after this farewell, he didn't know how long it would take for the next meeting.
Shikamaru didn't want Ino to have any regrets.
"Everyone pack your things and get ready to go!"
Red gave the order to set off.
Just when Ino and Shikamaru were about to raise their hands to ask for leave at the same time, Bai Yu's figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the building. He scratched his head and walked through the crowd with a smile, apologizing:
"Sorry, I just encountered something on the road and was delayed."
Not so long ago.
Zhisui brought the latest information from the Intelligence Department and told Bai Yu that Xiang Rin's traces had been discovered by the ninjas of the Grass Country. The Grass Country would definitely send ninjas to interfere with Xiang Rin's freedom in the near future.
Bai Yu was delayed a little while making some plans.
Ino was relieved when he saw the boy coming.
Hong smiled and said: "I still feel wronged by you and come to see you off in person. It's us who should be embarrassed!"
Bai Yu smiled and looked at Ino.
And not far away.
Juan, Fu, Xiang Rin, and Xiao Qianna were lying in a corner of an alley, with their heads stacked on top of each other, and they were furtively staring at Bai Yu who had walked into the Konoha ninja team. Everyone had their own little thoughts. .
among the team.
Ino looked at Bai Yu with beautiful eyes, took out a white hand-knitted scarf from the scroll, and said with a soft smile: "The winter in the land of tea will be very cold, you take this."
