Ninja Ice House

When the Mist Ninjas arrived in the Country of Whirlpool, the local guards did not prevent them from entering, but the scope of their activities was limited to the open port area, and they were not allowed to enter the interior.

Even the allies of the allies used the excuse of "temporary closure of road construction" to prevent the Mist Ninjas from wandering around. Although the murderous Mist Ninjas were very unhappy, they finally gave up.

It happened on the spot.

Of course, the dense forts at the top of the city also forced them to calm down.

As the window for the Kingdom of Whirlpool to open to the outside world, it is also a symbol of the Gushan family's influence here. A large amount of resources are tilted, making this place a must-have place for people traveling from south to north in a very short period of time. Many merchants will visit

Stop here and see what opportunities there are.

The most obvious feature of emerging cities is the extremely developed service industry, especially the illegal "grey" businesses in many parts of the Ninja Continent.

The system here is incomplete and the laws are incomplete. It is inappropriate to completely copy the laws of the Land of Fire, but it cannot be without rules, so we can only delete or delete some of the laws based on past experience and implement them accordingly.

There is no time to adjust, so there are many mistakes and omissions, and businessmen with a flexible mind will naturally dig into it.

Almost everyone in the Country of Whirlpool is aware of the "special services" that are banned in most countries. Of course, they are limited to some "special zones" that are open to the outside world. Local governance still follows the original rule of man, with clans and family elders maintaining the grassroots level.

In order to maintain order, Uzushio Village is responsible for foreign war matters, and the government headed by Hongye integrates resources to gradually build the complete functions of a country.

So far, many fields are only prototypes and will take a long time to develop. But in the eyes of the fog ninjas, it is already a great achievement to build a new town in a barren land. What's more, everyone

I had a lot of fun here. Compared with the barren entertainment industry in the Kingdom of Water, which was born out of the Kingdom of Fire, and which is actually a further, more open field, it is not the same level of enjoyment at all.

The financial strength of ninjas is stronger than that of civilians. In addition, the pressure of the mission is not small. They need to relax their mentality and adjust their suppressed emotions, so they need to go to a place like this to relax.

Many stores also like to receive official ninjas from the five major ninja villages. They are rich, honorable, and obey the rules. As long as the service is in place, they are quite willing to pay. In contrast, those wandering ninjas and down-and-out samurai who are like local ruffians have bad tempers.

It's so bad. I don't have much money in my pocket, so I'm not welcome at all.

The mist ninjas came with a mission this time, so of course they couldn't do any "fancy activities". Even if they were very excited, they had to wait until they were on vacation to sneak in and take a leisurely walk.

"Shameless."

When passing by the custom street, Terumi Mei spat with disdain as she looked at the woman who was coming and going, looking pretty and not very serious at first sight.

“What a great place.”

While he was criticizing in his mind, Yuri Lin, who had gone somewhere, was covered in messy food, with a ghost mask on his head, holding a hot hand cake and eating it deliciously.

"Captain, why didn't you buy anything?"

"Save unnecessary expenses."

"You want to save a dowry for yourself, right? I heard that several famous matchmakers have your information and spouse selection requirements..."

"Wait a minute, where did you hear this from? I told you not to reveal accurate information at will."

"Look at those conditions. I am about twenty-five years old, fair and beautiful, with long brown cross-curly hair. I have a successful career and a generous dowry. I am interested in looking for outstanding men of the same age. I do not exclude sororities..."

Lin Yuri glanced at Terumi Mei with an expression that looked like a fool,

"The entire Kirigakure Village is so big. Anyone who meets the requirements doesn't have to guess. Anyone you know can quickly identify the target. I estimate that most of the Kirigakure Village knows that you are seeking marriage, and you are the only one who thinks it is well hidden.

"

"this……"

The young woman suddenly felt bad as if she had been struck by lightning. After being silent for a moment, she suddenly realized something and turned around and asked,

"Since many people know about it, why doesn't anyone apply? After all, I feel that I'm not bad at all, so no one will look down on me..."

"Are you stupid? You have an annual income of tens of millions, a net income of more than one million, a jounin level of strength, a property in a prosperous neighborhood, a villa in the countryside, and a man of the same age who spends a lot of time with you to show affection, let alone Kirigakure.

, there are not many to be found in the entire Water Country, why don’t you go and grab them, and why are you waiting for others to come to your doorstep? Your ideal person is waiting to be picked out from a group of beauties, so how can he find the time to fall in love with you?”

"this……"

Terumi Mei's mind became even more confused,

"I think I am worthy of such a high-quality man. What's more, wouldn't it be better to have higher requirements? Anyway, I am young and can afford to wait..."

"Then just wait slowly. I wish you good luck and find a good match soon."

Lin Yuri also couldn't understand why Terumi Mei, who was still relatively young, started to worry about getting married. It was said that friends and relatives introduced her to several blind dates, and even the fourth Mizukage and Gotachibana Yagura came forward, but the result was still unsuccessful.

It's a blind date. If they agree, they can meet up and continue to develop. If they don't agree, they can go their separate ways. It's no big deal. Coincidentally, every man who failed to date Terumi Mei soon found the one he wanted, got married one after another, and lived happily.

very happy.

As time went by, Terumi Mei became associated with some strange rumors. Young men who were not in good relationships always liked to find various reasons to organize sororities with Terumi Mei, and they were very successful.

The most important thing is that everyone is satisfied and has a bright future, except Terumi Mei.

Gradually, the young beauties who should be sought after are no longer regarded as marriage partners by the majority of men in Kirigakure Village. Instead, they are regarded as "mascots", and many want to get in on the "joy".

, it is rare to take the initiative to pursue her.

As the person involved, Terumi Mei didn't know it herself, which really made many people who cared about her anxious, but they couldn't give them explicit advice.

"I'm so confused, I don't know what's wrong with me. It's said that people who get the 'Seven Ninja Sword' have some kind of problem. It seems to be somewhat reasonable."

Watching Yuri Hayashi leave and disappear at the end of the street full of tourists, Terumi Mei sensed the location of her nearby companions and saw that no one was unusual. She couldn't help but feel relieved and headed towards a popular beauty shop.

At the same time, in an izakaya two blocks away, Yuhi Hong and Uazuki Yugao were sitting opposite each other having a drink.

"Sorry, I'm not good at drinking."

"You're too polite. I asked you to accompany me. I should be the one to apologize."

In this operation to support the Kingdom of Whirlpool, the third generation of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sent a powerful and experienced Jounin, Aburame Shihui, to lead the team. Most of the team members were elites from the Anbu and "Root" organizations, with a few such as Yuhi.

A total of fifteen people, including Kurenai, a rising star with special talents, went to the Country of Whirlpool, which can be regarded as the largest operation in Konoha Village after the night of the Uchiha genocide.

Although Uzuki Yuugao and his lover Gekko Hayate are also classmates, they are obviously a little younger than Hatake Kakashi, Metkai, Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai.

He matured early and entered school early, which was normal in that war-torn era.

Uzuki Xiyan's growth experience represents a large number of elites of her age, and is quite typical. She was sent to a ninja school when she was young, graduated two or three years early, and then entered the "Root" organization for further study. She appeared in various dangerous battlefields and gained experience through experience.

A body of great strength.

Her strength is quite average, and she is a typical "hexagonal warrior" with almost no shortcomings. Even so, being comprehensive does not mean that she has no specialties. In the field of medical ninjutsu, Uzuki Xiyan is quite accomplished, whether it is in "roots"

"Both the organization and the ANBU are reliable backing that reassures teammates.

Since falling in love with Moonlight Hayate, the two have often practiced together and accepted each other's guidance, honing their excellent Konoha style swordsmanship.

Uzuki Xiyan, who has purple hair and a dignified and beautiful face, is a rare heroine in Anbu.

However, her qualifications were still very low, and she had only joined ANBU Team 6 for a short time. It was not until Uchiha Itachi defected on the night of the genocide that she took his place.

Because she has hidden her appearance behind a mask for a long time and is basically active in fields unknown to ordinary people, the public has little impression of her, and she is far less famous than Yuhi Kurenai and Mitarashi Anko.

"Is your relationship with Hayate going well?"

"It's okay. Before leaving this time, I was still with him. I originally planned to go to enjoy the flowers, but I didn't make it."

"This season is not a good time to enjoy flowers."

"Each one has its own merits. There are also many beautiful flowers that bloom only in autumn and winter."

"Um."

Speaking of this, just to avoid being embarrassed, in this mission, only Uzuki Yugao and Yuhi Kurenai are female ninjas, so it is normal for them to walk in involuntarily.

"We didn't communicate much when we were in ninja school, and we had little contact after graduation. I didn't expect you and Hayate to get together..."

"We need the right opportunity. We had a tacit understanding before, and now we are joining ANBU together..."

"A match made in heaven."

Every step happened to be at the perfect point, and God seemed to be fulfilling them. The process of falling in love had no setbacks at all, and the friends watching felt that it was incredibly smooth.

In comparison, Yuhi Hong herself is far behind.

The two drank a few drinks slowly and talked. After the conversation, Maoyue Xiyan asked:

"Miss Hong... this time is not just to talk about me and Hayate, right? Is there anything you need my help with..."

"Don't be so embarrassed. In fact, I have something to ask you."

The slightly drunk Yuhi Hong held her chin and responded lazily,

"Starting next year, I will learn to coach the genin team. There are some things that I have never experienced before, so I always feel a little uneasy. I heard that the instructors appointed by the Sandaime have all been in ANBU, but I have never joined."

The root organization has never been influenced by the ANBU, is there something missing?"

"You can't say that. Ninjas from ANBU do have a unique temperament, but that's not the main thing."

Maoyue Xiyan smiled and then replied,

"Metkai once knelt on the ground, hugged the Sandaime's thigh and begged to join the ANBU, but was rejected mercilessly."

"Is this happening? I thought it was a made-up joke..."

"I have seen it with my own eyes. Even so, the Sandaime also admires Metkai, but due to his nature, he is really not suitable for working in the Anbu."

The Anbu take orders directly from the Hokage and are exclusive guards, each of whom is a carefully selected elite.

"From the reactions of everyone around me, it seems that the village values ​​me very much. However, I always feel a little unsure. I have never received any signs from ANBU, and my promotion mission is far away. My companions have become jounin one by one.

Jonin, I'm still exploring the way forward, waiting for the opportunity that I don't know when it will come..."

"I would like to ask..."

Uoyuki Xiyan interrupted Yuhi Hong’s complaint that seemed to be a monologue,

"What are you anxious about? Is there any reason why you have to be promoted? I don't think the village and the Sandaime are so unfair that they can't see the strength and efforts of their subordinates..."

"In other words, I still have some shortcomings."

If the sunset is red and I have some enlightenment,

"Is it because of the bad rumors about me that people are a little worried? That's not right. Is it because I am not strong enough?"

In the past, when Fusugi Bosui was still studying in Konoha Village, some of his peers knew that he was a child of a big family, but young people who were born in Konoha Village had no idea how "deep" he was.

The stigma of a wealthy family is unfair to Yuhi Kurenai. What really makes some Konoha ninjas feel dissatisfied is the gap between Yuhi Kurenai's special liking for Kosugi Fusui, but her indifference to Sarutobi Asuma.

The son of the current Hokage of Konoha Village was at a disadvantage in a jealous showdown with the children of the great nobles of the Fire Country, which is bound to irritate some people's sensitive nerves.

Regardless of the fact that I don't usually perform well, this kind of thinking has always existed.

Hearing this, Maoyue Xiyan shook her head:

"The Sandaime is not such a superficial person, and he will definitely not miss serious things because of his son's love affair. From my personal perspective, maybe the higher-ups in the village feel that you are not ready yet."

"Prepare?"

Yuhi Hong asked puzzledly,

"I do not understand."

"Let's put it this way."

Maoyue Xiyan sorted out her words and said,

"Both genin and chunin can basically pass as long as they meet the standards. The current Hokage does not even need to go through an adviser and is directly promoted. But jounin is different. It is not only a ninja level, but also a cadre of Konoha Village. There are many chunin

We all understand that power is not so easy to get. You have to pay a price to be promoted and gain the praise and trust of the villagers. Some of our generation did not die in battle, but some experienced blood and fire on the battlefield.

After the test, some of them became Jonin early. Some of them were loyal to their duties after the war and contributed a lot to the village and were promoted. Most of the rest have their own shortcomings and are stuck in progress. What do you think is wrong with you?

It’s not very clear, but don’t let personal matters hold you back…”

"I... probably understand."

Yuri Hong's eyes were blurry, and she didn't know what she was remembering. If she had some enlightenment,

"Indeed, I am not focused enough, and I am not ready to become a glorious Jonin. That night when the Nine-Tails attacked the village, my family died. I inherited their last wishes and dedicated my strength to the Will of Fire.

…”

Maoyue Xiyan said with relief:

"I think you are on the right path. You did not ask me about my love experience, but you hesitated about the important tasks you were about to take on and reflected on your own shortcomings. You have effectively emerged from the haze. Sooner or later, the Sandaime will notice your efforts.

come on……"
