Konoha: My Character Card

Chapter 15 The Thousand-Handed Buddha Tree
Qiuyi and Sanshui chatted one after another, and an hour passed before they knew it.

Sanshui told Qiu Yi about his superficial situation, and told him that his parents were not killed in the Nine Tails Rebellion yesterday, but because of the war.

The old man Qiuyi felt a little emotional after hearing this, but his sympathy and love for Sanshui did not change.

Gradually, however, he began to see something else about this particular child.

From the conversation between Sanshui and him, Qiu Yi could feel the extraordinary thoughts in this child's heart.

This is a very optimistic child, but also a very mature child.

Perhaps it was the experience of being an orphan that made him mature prematurely, possessing a delicate mind that his peers did not have, and then it was because of his optimism that he persisted until today, and even found a job to earn a living.

Qiu Yi seemed to be listening to a story, listening to Sanshui's experience in the past half a year, and she still listened with gusto.

After drinking a bowl of water, Sanshui got up and looked at the sun outside the house, and bid farewell to old man Qiuyi.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving first, and I'll come see you when I'm free."

Qiu Yi stood up slowly, and waved towards Sanshui.

"Slow down, don't fall."

Sanshui waved his little hand and ran out the door.

Looking at the back of Sanshui leaving, Qiuyi shook his head helplessly and amusedly.

Fortunately, he still wanted to take in this child just now, but he lost his mind after chatting.

It's not that Sanshui is bad, but Sanshui is too capable.

If you are smart and willing to work hard, what can't you do?
He no longer needs guardianship.

And looking at Sanshui's appearance when he left, it seemed that he took pity on himself as an old man, worried that he would be lonely, and came to accompany him specially.

Qiuyi took the bowl back to the kitchen, cleaned it, wiped his hands, and leaned against the window to rest.

Through the window, Qiuyi could see a camphor tree in the backyard.

Slim and graceful, with luxuriant branches and leaves, it is full of brilliance in the sun.

Unlike the despair of the ruins, this tree is as lucky as an old man, and has not encountered the atrocities of Nine Tails.

The tree is the same age as Konoha, both 48 years old.

At the beginning, Qiu Yi asked for the seeds of this tree from Zhujian, and rejected Zhujian's plan to help him ripen the tree.

At that time, he said to Zhujian: "Patriarch, I want to plant this tree with my own hands and see how tall it can grow."

"Qiuyi, this tree is not easy to take care of. If you encounter any problems, come to me."

Hashirama patted Qiuyi on the shoulder confidently, and told him that he had considerable attainments in tree planting.

Qiu Yi smiled and said yes.

But it didn't take long for Hashirama to be elected as the first Hokage of the village by everyone.

On that day, above ten thousand people, he was crowned as a shadow.

Qiu Yi vaguely remembered Hashirama's serious expression at that time, he swore in front of everyone that he would protect Konoha.

After that day, Qiu Yizhuma changed his address, no longer calling him the patriarch, but calling him Hokage-sama.

"Qiu Yi, you have taken good care of this tree."

That day, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama stood in front of this camphor tree with a warm smile on his face.

He gave the tree a name.

"Call it the Thousand-Handed Buddha Tree? How about it?"

Hashirama put a hand on the tree, and the chakra in his body flowed continuously.

Qiu nodded, but didn't notice Hashirama's small movements.

He was just an ordinary person, of course he couldn't see what Hashirama was doing, he just thought he was stroking the little tree.

But why did Hokage-sama choose this name?

Buddha has a great relationship with ninjas. It can be said that the origin of ninjas is Buddha.

After all, the Sage of the Six Paths was born as a monk, and most of the chakras passed down are related to monks.

Ninja, is the profession of monks slowly evolved.

Therefore, Buddha has the meaning of origin (initial).

Thousand-hand Buddha tree, the tree of origin of the thousand-hand?
At that time, Qiuyi thought that this had something to do with Konoha's creation. The first Hokage Senju Hashirama had great ambitions, opened up the ninja village system, and pacified the war in the world.

Since then, everyone has followed suit, and the ninja world has initially achieved peace.

Perhaps in this state of mind, Hokage-sama took this name.

But he would never have thought that this thousand-handed Buddha tree would be related to a layout more than ten years later
Only then did Qiu Yi realize that the original origin meant this.

The Qianshou family was broken into parts and integrated into Konoha, and since then the family and the country have become one, which is the origin.

The first generation hoped that the people of a village would abandon their family prejudices, fully integrate into Konoha, and become a harmonious society regardless of internal and external.

However, due to various factors, this idealized wish has gradually come to nothing, and it seems that it is basically impossible to realize it now.

"Thank you very much yesterday."

Qiu Yi looked at the big tree through the window and said something inexplicable.

Talking to trees is weird enough.

The leaves of the camphor tree swayed gently, as if responding to Qiu Yi.

Yesterday, there was a bloody storm outside the house, and the sky was filled with mourning.

But the house was as peaceful as ever.

This thousand-handed Buddha tree, which he cultivated and grew up by himself, became the patron saint of Qiu Yi, guarding this frail old man in times of crisis.

Qiu had known the magic of this tree early in the morning, knew that it had strange abilities, and also guessed that the patriarch did not listen to him at the beginning, and did not know when he injected chakra into the tree.

This is why he is full of guilt.

When the village was in danger, everyone was facing life and death crisis, but he didn't know it at all, and slept peacefully in the house.

For an old man who watched Konoha grow up, this is a kind of moral remorse.

But he still has to thank this tree, if not for it, he might have died under the Nine-Tails Disaster.

Qiuyi and the Buddha tree faced each other silently, and there was no words to speak, only the chirping of insects and birds in the backyard, exaggerating the peaceful and peaceful scenery.

On the other side, Sanshui, who left Qiuyi's residence, was wandering around.

He saw a small group of ninjas not far away, who were clearing road obstacles, and a thought arose in his heart, and he walked over quietly.

"Conceal the breath, open it."

Sanshui took the initiative to activate his achievement talent, concealed his breath, and then slowly approached the ninja team.

He wasn't arrogant enough to scare the group of ninjas secretly, what if he was attacked as an enemy.

Sanshui chose to go to the ninja openly.

Something magic happened.

Sanshui walked slowly to a few meters away from the ninja, and then walked slowly into the distance.

This group of ninjas seemed to be all right, devoting themselves to clearing the road, and no one found him!
Sanshui did not doubt the vigilance of this group of ninjas, because after the high-risk incident last night, none of the Konoha ninjas relaxed.

It can only be said that the effect of concealing the breath is a bit strong.

That's it for today, don't overdo it.

Sanshui did not walk back and forth desperately, but continued to walk far away.

Now this group of Konoha ninjas are jittery, they are not something that can be provoked casually, and they are not good subjects for experimenting with concealed aura.

Then find more suitable people and try again.

Sanshui returned to Yile Ramen Shop, seeing that the shop was still empty, he thought about how to make ramen by himself.

In short, you can't be idle, you have to find work.

Trigger more daily tasks, collect more gold coins,
Sanshui found out the flour, took a large bowl of water, and tried to mix them in an appropriate ratio.

Kneading and patting, using two sticks together, Sanshui put on an apron to practice cooking, and there was the sound of slapping dough in the kitchen.

It may be that there was a lot of movement, and Sanshui attracted some uninvited guests.

"Is anyone here?"

A ninja with a Konoha forehead guard came in and looked at the chef of Yile Ramen.

The knocking stopped, and a head protruded from the back kitchen door, meeting the eyes of the visitor.

"Hello."
