Konoha's task master

Yakumo opened the courtyard door, and under the light Shinichi was wearing black uniform, his hair was a little messy, and he was a little drunk.

The breeze carried the smell of alcohol and poured into Yakumo's nose. He subconsciously took a half step back. Maybe this was the disadvantage of having an overly sensitive sense of smell.

"Brother Shinichi, what's wrong with you?"

Yakumo immediately put on a worried expression and took two steps forward to support the shaky Shinichi.

"Hiccup, it's okay..." Shinichi burped and exhaled the strong smell of alcohol. He broke away from Yakumo's support and staggered into the courtyard.

The Tsing Yi servant immediately placed snacks, fruits, and sake on the table, and then left respectfully.

He drank cup after cup of sake, occasionally picking up fruit and swallowing it in one gulp. There was only silence in the atmosphere, until his face was filled with drunkenness, and he spit out a long breath of wine into the sky.

The breeze blows off the leaves, spinning around in the air and finally falling on the table. Yakumo is waiting for Shinichi to speak. All the preparations for these days are just for tonight.

"Hey, it's so hard for me..." Shinichi sighed slightly with a sad look on his face. He had been drinking since he came in, and he seemed to be completely drunk at this time.

"The internal problems in the Country of Fire have not yet been resolved, and the great names of the Country of Thunder began to put pressure on me because I was young."

"Brother Yakumo, come and help me, brother, okay?"

Shinichi suddenly dropped his wine glass and stared at Yakumo's face sincerely.

This scene seemed extremely sincere, as if a person at the end of his rope had grasped the last straw.

If Yakumo was really just a seven-year-old child, he might have been deceived by Shinichi's performance, but unfortunately he wasn't... He had another twenty-five-year-old memory in his mind.

"Brother Shinichi, how can I help you?" Yakumo asked with a bit of surprise.

"The envoy from the Kingdom of Thunder hopes to purchase two hundred tons of grain at half the price. This is obviously bullying my youth!" Shinichi sat down with some dejection, his eyes losing their sparkle.

A long silence...

"Brother Yakumo, can you help me kill the delegation from the Land of Thunder?" Shinichi spoke again, with obvious guilt and intolerance in his eyes, as if he was suffering inner condemnation for making such a request to Yakumo.

So cruel...

The delegation from the Kingdom of Thunder is just here to renegotiate the price of food imports in the next few years. It may lower the price, but it will not be as exaggerated as half price. Apparently Shinichi is not satisfied with the price and directly has murderous intentions...

"Okay." Yakumo agreed without any hesitation.

"But the mission from the Kingdom of Thunder is guarded by the adults of Cloud Ninja Village. I can't defeat them." Yakumo lowered his head guiltily and explained.

"Isn't Brother Yakumo's strength... very strong?"

The hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and Shinichi continued to ask warmly, even putting his right hand on Yakumo's shoulder to show intimacy.

"I'm just an ordinary medical ninja..."

Silence...another long silence.

Shinichi retracted his right hand, lowered his head and then quickly raised his head. In just this moment, the drunkenness on his face gradually dissipated, and his sharp eyes stared at Yakumo.

"Haha... I underestimated you."

Suddenly he laughed at himself. In the past few minutes, all Shinichi saw in Yakumo's eyes was calmness.

The look in his eyes seemed to see through all his disguises, but without revealing them, he just watched his performance quietly.

How can a person who has a Jonin-level combat power at the age of seven be so simple? Shinichi couldn't help but regret that he was deceived by Yakumo's immature appearance.

She straightened her back subconsciously, and the distance between the two people increased. This was a defensive posture.

"Brother Shinichi, what are you talking about?"

"Is there any point in continuing the show?"

Shinichi smiled coldly, claiming to be a smart man, he couldn't accept being fooled like this, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed away.

"I don't understand, Shinichi-nii." Yakumo still smiled innocently. In his opinion, just pretending to be stupid is enough. His opponent is a smart man who knows how to be patient, which means that he will not choose to break the pot, throw the fish and the net to the death.

.

"Good, excellent...hahaha." Zhen Yiyi laughed angrily, picked up the wine bottle in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, then dropped it heavily to the ground, with a strange blush appearing on his cheeks.

"Make a deal, you help me kill all the delegations from the Kingdom of Thunder, and I will let you choose three secret techniques that the daimyo clan has spent thousands of years collecting."

"But I really can't defeat the delegation from the Kingdom of Thunder."

Yakumo emphasized again, staring at Shinichi who was on the verge of anger with an innocent face.

"Okay...very good...are you really not afraid that I will make you miserable?" Shinichi threatened coldly.

"Brother Shinichi, what are you talking about?" Facing the threat, Yakumo still looked innocently at Shinichi's gradually distorted face.

"Besides this sentence...you won't say anything else?"

"Brother Shinichi, how can I help you?"

With a crash, the second delicate wine bottle turned into pieces, and Shinichi stared at Yakumo fiercely.

Just when Yakumo thought Shinichi was going to overturn the table and the negotiations break down, he took out a very simple scroll from his arms.

"This is the catalog of secret techniques... You can browse it first and then decide whether to make a transaction." Shinichi's expression returned to calm in an instant, as if the madness and anger just now were all illusions.

"Okay... let me take a look first..."

Yakumo smiled and took the scroll and started browsing.

Insect control... comes from the Aburame clan.

Shadow clone... originates from Konoha Hidden Village.

Wind Release·Fengqie…The origin is unknown.

Wind Release·Wind Blade…The origin is unknown.

Fire Release: The Fireball Technique... comes from Konoha Hidden Village.

Thunder Escape·Earth Walk…The origin is unknown.

…………

Unknown sealing technique, Yin and Yang seal, source unknown.

Sure enough, just as Yakumo had guessed, the daimyo clan's thousands of years of collection were all rubbish. They were basically D and C-level ninjutsu. Occasionally, there were a few that Yakumo had never heard of, and they were all fragments of scrolls that could not be practiced, and only unknown sealing techniques.

Yin Yang Seal... Yakumo is a little interested, but only a little.

"It's a pity that I still choose to refuse..." Yakumo smiled and handed the scroll in his hand to Shinichi.

"That's such a pity..." Shinichi took the scroll and left without looking back, as if he didn't take the unpleasantness into his heart at all.

"Brother Shinichi, goodbye."

Yakumo stood up with a bright smile.

"My father could conquer the Thousand-Armed Hashirama and win the Fire Country back then, why can't I do it today?"

Shinichi walked to the door and sighed without looking back.

"Perhaps it's because the daimyo of those days relied on sincerity, while you relied on calculation. After all, strong people have a strong sense of malice."

Shinichi turned around suddenly, and Yakumo in the courtyard was still smiling brightly, as if the words he just said did not come from his mouth.

"Hahaha……"

"Brother Yakumo, you are really good."

Shinichi put on his warm smile again and sighed. The two of them looked at each other and turned around.

Shinichi disappeared at the end of the corridor, while Yakumo opened the door and prepared to sleep. The first confrontation between the two ended here.
