Ninja Ice House

From a distance, using a telescope to watch the young red-haired girl chatting with her friends at the entrance of the dessert shop, Jiraiya sighed to the half-kneeling ANBU behind him: "She doesn't look like Kushina, but she does look a bit like her.

The temperament of Princess Mito..."

"After all, she is the eldest daughter of the Fusagi family. Although her mother is not from a high background, she is still a Uzumaki descendant, not a commoner without background."

"Yeah!" Jiraiya put away the telescope in his hand, sat cross-legged on the head of the giant toad mount, and said to the ANBU waiting for instructions,

"The old man let me take a look, and the result is no different. That child is a genius. Even without a good teacher or friend, the Gushan family can ensure that she grows up smoothly."

"Mainly, I would like to ask Jiraiya-sama to distinguish between good and evil, as well as good and bad fortune. After all, it is well known that you have a sharp vision..." Being able to cultivate a big man like Golden Flash and Namikaze Minato, Konohagakure is very grateful

Jiraiya's level of conviction is incomprehensible to outsiders.

"Far and near, distance and distance are all relative. It is impossible for us to treat him like a enemy and expect others to be grateful to us. Isn't the lesson learned enough about Uchiha? I have always felt that Elder Danzo was too radical, and the three generations of old men acquiesced and sat idly by.

You didn't do it right." Of course, this kind of thing is not something that an ANBU can discuss casually. Jiraiya can make fun of the advisor elders and complain a few words about the teacher's actions. It's okay. It's better for others not to talk too much.

"That's a very good child. Don't worry too much. Also, although the Gushan minions who are stranded in the village have selfish motives, they don't have any ill intentions towards the village. Let the old man rest assured. Daimyo, go early and come back early. This year, I

I will stay in the village for a while. Go ahead..." After saluting, the ANBU left silently, and Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh.

"Thousands of things, complicated and troublesome!" Uchiha Itachi left a message and went to the Kingdom of Wind. He didn't know when he would be back to join us.

The matter with Orochimaru has not yet come to an end, and there is no clue about finding the child of destiny. He took the half-empty wine gourd from his back, and Jiraiya wandered along the long street of Konoha Village in the clear weather after the snow.

I haven’t been back for a while, but the village has changed a lot. Over the years, the Gushan family has invested a lot of money in its renovation, and the original antique architectural style has gradually gained a more fashionable flavor.

Low wooden houses have also been replaced by tall buildings. The characteristics of the integration of the times can be seen everywhere in this emerging town.

The closer you get to the gate, the brighter and more prosperous it becomes, and the closer you get to the back, the more primitive it looks. Just as Jiraiya was casually walking and drinking, he suddenly had a small collision with a passerby.

"Huh? I'm sorry..." Judging from the touch, it was either a child or a weak girl. The slightly drunk Jiraiya didn't notice it for a moment, and when he realized it, he was already unable to avoid it.

Of course, the other party also seemed a little distracted. Normal people would unconsciously stay away from an old drunk man wandering around on the road.

Facing a handsome child, he frowned slightly. After all, he still upheld the tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young. He nodded to Jiraiya, who was smelling of alcohol, and said hello.

Jiraiya, who didn't take it seriously, was about to pass him by, and suddenly asked: "Brother, do you know where the home of Mizuki, the chuunin teacher of the ninja school, is?"

"I'm looking for it too." Hearing this, the handsome young man turned around and said,

"You're here to visit too?"

"Ask him if you have something!" Jiraiya smiled broadly at the other person,

"Brother, what do you call me..."

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Uchiha... Zuosuke, it turns out it's you!" Jiraiya instantly lost half his drunkenness, looked at Uchiha Zuosuke for a few times, and then nodded inconspicuously,

"As expected, he is a brave young man. If you don't mind, can we look for him together?"

"Okay! What do you call me, old man?"

"I'm not that old! Haha..." As if remembering something happy, Jiraiya and Uchiha Sasuke walked forward side by side,

"Jiraiya, who is known as the Toad Sage, is me!"

"Are you also a Konoha ninja?"

"Well! Today's young people don't know much about the senior ninjas in the village! Ninja schools no longer teach history..."

"Yes, but I have never heard of Toad Sage, only Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara."

"Really!" Jiraiya, who had failed to brag, touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment.

"Maybe I haven't learned it yet. Let's not mention this for now, why did you find Teacher Mizuki?"

"I am his student, and I am here to ask for advice on spiritual matters."

"Do students now need to give gifts when they visit their teachers, and when teachers preach and perform their duties?" Jiraiya asked curiously, pointing to the fruit basket and flowers carried by Uchiha's left assistant.

"Normally it's not necessary. It's just that Teacher Mizuki's wife is pregnant with a baby for more than seven months. It's hard to come and disturb her empty-handed."

"Oh, that's right, that's true! I can't just go like this. Let's go to a nearby store and buy some gifts..." It's not far from the Wood Industry Hospital, and Mingcha Street is also nearby. There are many exquisite

There are several small shops selling fruits and flowers. Yamanaka Ino's home is nearby and he happens to run a flower shop.

Ten minutes later, Jiraiya and Uchiha Sasuke, with small flower baskets in their hands, stood at the door of a well-kept small villa with a sign that read

"Shuimu" and

The name "Chun". Judging from the style, it was originally an ordinary small western-style building, but it was transformed into a cute little villa. The balcony and terrace on the second floor are filled with flower pots. Evergreen plants are growing tenaciously all year round, and there are also some in the yard.

The elegantly pruned evergreen trees sway gently in the wind against the white snow.

"It should be right here!" Uchiha Sasuke gently knocked on the door. Soon after, there was a sound of footsteps, the door opened, and Mizuki, who was wearing home clothes, opened the door.

"Eh? Zuosuke! It's really rare. Is there something wrong?" Seeing that the other party was bringing a gift, he must have come here for a special visit, Mizuki was about to welcome him in, and then looked at the white-haired old man next to him.

"Is this... Lord Jiraiya? Are you back? It's been such a long time..."

"It's me! I just came back a few days ago! I want to ask you something, so I met this little brother and came with him."

"Pengpi Shenghui, it's an honor to have you here." Mizuki's attitude made Uchiha Saosuke realize that the old man who came with him might have an unusual status.

"Excuse me!" The two walked into the house and found that there was no brazier or fireplace inside, but it was warm and the smoke was not very strong.

"What are you using for heating? I didn't see you turning on the heater..." Jiraiya looked at the surrounding furnishings curiously. They were a little different from the traditional ones, and the light was much brighter.

"Floor heating! Recently, this relatively mild heating method is more popular in new homes in the village. It is very good for the elderly, children and pregnant women. Last time I went to see the model room of a newly opened building and saw this thing, it was very good, so I bought it.

The money is packed." After leading Jiraiya and Uchiha Sasuke to the living room to sit down, a soft and lazy voice came from inside.

"Are there any guests? Sorry, I'm so warm and a bit sleepy." Xiao Chun, wearing loose maternity clothes and a tired look on her face, came out and poured tea for the guests virtuously.

"Madam, you are too polite, thank you! We have taken the liberty to disturb you..." At this time, Jiraiya still maintained the demeanor of a respected senior, and his gestures were still very decent, while Uchiha Sasuke looked a little dull.

After all, I don’t have much experience in this kind of situation.

After a few words of greeting, Xiao Chun went back to the house to rest. Mizuki took out some snacks and served them to everyone while eating.

"The last time I saw Jiraiya-sama was not long after I took the Chuunin Exam. It has been several years. I also got married and will have a child soon."

"I have a bit of an impression on you! After the Nine-Tails attack on the village, you were quite active. Was it the old man who asked you to take care of the children who had lost their relatives?"

"It's me! What happened back then, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I have something...about Orochimaru that I want to ask you. By the way, this little brother I met unexpectedly seems to have something to ask you, so let him talk first!" He kept quiet!

Uchiha Sasuke, who was listening to the two people's conversation, met Mizuki's probing eyes and asked Mizuki: "Recently, I feel that I have encountered a bottleneck in my practice. I have been overwhelmed by the practice class, and I can't find any way to improve it.

For clues, I want to ask Mr. Mizuki for advice on what to do next, whether we need to practice powerful ninjutsu in order to turn defeat into victory."

"I want to win the phosphorus!" Mizuki nodded clearly, not caring who gave Uchiha Zuosuke support and asked him to come to him.

In any case, he is also a serious teacher, and it is his duty to preach and resolve doubts. With Jiraiya in front of him, as long as he doesn't do anything that makes people suspicious, it's impossible for others to say anything.

"Being blindly eager for advanced ninjutsu is a common mistake made by young people who are new to the ninja journey. This knowledge should have been taught to you by the leading teacher after you became a genin. However, your training progress is too fast. You should know it earlier.

It's not impossible. Just wait..." Mizuki stood up and walked into the back room, took out a chakra test paper and handed it over.

"Put it between your fingers and pour chakra into it to try..." Uchiha Zuosuke did as he was told. In less than half a minute, the chakra test paper first wrinkled and then turned into burnt ash.

"Fire and thunder, and they almost go hand in hand, it's a rare dual attribute..."

"Dual attributes?"

"It's the attributes of Chakra, which are the natural strengths of a ninja. If you learn fire escape and thunder escape in the future, you will have a natural advantage. This is a good thing. They are both powerful attributes and suitable for fighting." Next, Mizuki changed the yin and yang five elements of chakra.

The principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint was explained to Uchiha Sasuke.

"Originally, your parents or tutors should give you these instructions, but..." The Uchiha family disappeared, and the inheritance naturally ceased to exist.

Uchiha Sasuke has also seen the so-called chakra attributes in the few remaining documents, but understanding it on his own is not as good as a professional teacher like Mizuki explaining it in simple terms.

"I won't go into details about the past. Let's talk about the misunderstandings about learning advanced ninjutsu. The so-called ninjutsu level is the difficulty level of practice. In most cases, it does match the power of ninjutsu. However, when it falls to each

The performance of specific ninjas is also very different. For example, for me, chakra is mainly based on fire and supplemented by earth. Learning water escape is particularly difficult. Even if it can be used, the power is much smaller. It is far less effective than practicing it with half the effort.

Fire escape and earth escape are cost-effective..."

"So, my direction is Thunder Escape and Fire Escape?"

"Yes! Fire escape is easy to say. You Uchiha are based on fire escape. I don't need to teach you this. Thunder escape. In fact, there are not many people in the village who are really proficient in it. I only know some superficial D-level ninjutsu and a C-level ninjutsu.

I can't teach you much about ninjutsu. If you want to learn it, I can give you some pointers later." After a pause, Mizuki continued to explain,

"Of course, what I want to talk about today is not Fire Style and Thunder Style, but Chakra itself. You need to practice this now." Mizuki said, stretched out his palm, and chakra gathered in the air above him, slowly

There was a change in nature, and soon, a small flame appeared in front of Uchiha Sasuke's eyes.

"You used Fire Release without any seals?" What he saw in front of him was beyond Uchiha Sasuke's general understanding of ninjutsu.

"The form and nature are what I want to remind you of. Whether it is chanting or forming seals, they are essentially auxiliary means of casting spells. The core of them is the change in the form and nature of chakra. Only knowing how to form spells to cast spells will increase the amount of chakra.

Increasing the power is just superficial. If the form change and property change are practiced well, even a C-level ninjutsu can be enhanced to the power of an A-level ninjutsu." Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke still seemed to understand.

Understood, Jiraiya couldn't help but interjected: "The power of Ninjutsu is just an appearance, and the power of Ninja is fundamental. Controlling Chakra and letting it generate and strengthen Ninjutsu according to your own will is the right way. Don't be fooled by anything.

The level of ninjutsu has been deceived. Especially for a genius like you, it is a pity that he has gone astray." Mizuki glanced at Jiraiya who was unwilling to be left out, and continued: "With the form changes of fire release, you can change it multiple times.

While practicing the traditional fire escape ninjutsu, I gradually realized that this is not urgent and is relatively easy. Of course, there is also a prerequisite, which is to pass the chakra control level. Have you ever seen ninjas flying over walls, climbing mountains and seas, and walking on flat ground? In fact,

You can try it by attaching chakra to the soles of the feet, controlling the amount and speed of the output, and achieving the effect. As for the change in properties..." Mizuki held his palm lightly and pinched out the small flames in his palm.

"Fierce, high temperature, burning, spreading, destruction. Every master who is proficient in fire escape has a different understanding of it. Mine is burning and spreading..."

"I am heat and destruction." Jiraiya added,

"Essentially it's almost the same, the details are just slightly different."
