Konoha: My Character Card

Chapter 51 The Way of Nature, Asuka's Father
the next day.

The first sun rises in the east.

Sanshui didn't get up early.

He slept until he woke up naturally, then opened his eyes comfortably, feeling the vitality in his body flowing to his limbs.

The state is full!get up!

After going downstairs to have a simple breakfast, Sanshui took a short walk.

"Sanshui, why didn't you get up so early today?"

The old man in the roadside bookstore saw Sanshui passing by and greeted him naturally.

"I'm lazy today!"

The aunt who sells multigrain cakes next door joked.

Sanshui was not embarrassed either, and after greeting the two of them familiarly, he continued walking.

He was indeed "lazy" today.

But being lazy is also to adjust the body and mind, so that you can practice in the most suitable state.

Maybe I was too anxious before, so I made progress slowly. Today I change my mind, I don’t know if it can improve.

Sanshui walked and walked, and came to the door of the old man Qiuyi.

Now he can easily find this place, as long as he looks far away, the tallest tree is the territory of the Qiu family.

dong dong dong.

Sanshui knocked on the door lightly.

After getting along for a while, Sanshui knew that it was time for Qiu Yi to come back from a walk, so he was either at home or still on his way back.

Sure enough, although Sanshui didn't wait for Qiu Yi from the concierge, after a while, he saw Qiu Yi appearing from the intersection and slowly walking towards him.

"What's the matter, what are you doing at the door?"

Qiu Yi looked at Sanshui with a smile, and when he got close, he pushed open the unlocked door.

Squeak.

The old wooden gatehouse made a welcome sound.

"Grandpa Qiuyi, you didn't lock the door?"

Sanshui asked in surprise.

Although there is nothing valuable in it, there is a very important Thousand Hands Ancestral Hall!
The old man is not afraid of being stolen?
Qiu Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are guards inside. If you come in the future, just go in."

guard?

Sanshui thought there was someone in the room, but after entering the room, he didn't find it.

Is it in the ancestral hall?

Sanshui looked towards the backyard with some doubts.

But Qiu Yi's voice quickly interrupted his thoughts.

"How are you doing this week?"

"Very good, I learned a lot, and, yesterday, I started practicing Chakra."

"Oh ~ Chakra!"

Qiu Yi exclaimed.

"This is the most critical thing in ninja practice. How about it? Have you practiced it yet?"

"Not yet, it will take some time."

Sanshui shook his head and said, but there was no loss in his words.

Qiu nodded with a natural expression, not showing joy or disappointment, but as kind as ever.

"Then practice slowly, don't rush."

"Hey."

Sanshui smiled and nodded.

Originally, he thought that he had failed Qiu Yi's trust, but he didn't expect that Qiu Yi didn't care at all.

After staying with Qiu's family for a while, Sanshui said goodbye and left, and returned to his downstairs.

When he went upstairs, he took off his shoes, poured himself a glass of water, and went into the bedroom.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Sanshui restrained his thoughts and let them go.

Stop worrying about your own mediocre talent.

Stop thinking about how to get the attention of Hokage's lineage, so as not to disappoint the old man Qiuyi.

Everything goes with the flow.

Let the energy of the body and the spirit intertwine, and only make small adjustments at critical moments.

two hours later.

Sanshui withdrew from the cultivation state, with a calm joy on his face.

"Improved from yesterday."

Energy is originally circulated, which is very similar to the formation of internal circulation.

There are no distracting thoughts in my heart, and no expectation of quick success and instant benefit, which is more in line with the way of cultivation.

In this way, there is hope to cultivate chakra earlier.

Although aptitude restricts a person, practitioners break the shackles of aptitude all the time, allowing themselves to reach higher heights.

Good aptitude just means having a higher floor.

But it doesn't mean that you can directly become a strong person.

The same is true.

A mediocre qualification just means that the threshold to reach a high place is higher than others, and each step requires more effort.

But it doesn't mean that you can only be weak all your life.

Ninja is a process of embarking on the road of practice and breaking through oneself.

Aptitude is just one of many obstacles on the road of practice.

If you can't even pass this level, let alone the various difficult choices you will face in the future.

Sanshui got up, took a sip of water, moved his body, and then sat down cross-legged.

Stay at home today.

Be a cultivator who doesn't care about worldly affairs!

"Cuckoo~"

Just when Sanshui was concentrating on his cultivation, his stomach rebelled against him.

After practicing immortality for a day, I didn't eat lunch.

You know, practicing Chakra also consumes body energy.

Sanshui checked the time and found that it was not too late, so he put on his shoes and knocked on the door of the neighbor's house across the street.

"Sanshui, what's wrong?"

Shangshan Caizhi opened the door and asked.

"Auntie, I'm a little hungry"

Sanshui, who consumed too much body energy, said weakly.

"Eat slowly, there is not enough in the pot."

Seeing that Sanshui, who had finished three bowls of rice, was still eating, Shangshan Caizhi shook his head amusingly.

This child is so hungry, has he not eaten all day?

"Mom, how can brother eat so much?"

The naive Asuka asked curiously.

Sanshui paused for a meal, then lowered his head to the ground, speeding up the cooking.

"Your brother is starving."

Shangshan Caizhi teased with a smile, then walked into the kitchen, took out the freshly cooked rice, and brought it to Sanshui.

After eating almost, Sanshui wiped his mouth, raised his head and saw two mothers and daughters, one big and one small, looking at him with smiles.

Sanshui blushed, and said embarrassedly: "Auntie, I'm full."

"I'm going to wash the dishes, you can play with Asuka for a while."

Shangshan Caizhi stood up neatly and cleaned up the dishes.

"Auntie, let me come."

Sanshui contended.

If you don't do something, isn't it really a waste of food and drink?

Shangshan Caizhi turned her body sideways, and said with a teasing smile: "I'm so full after eating, I need to rest and digest."

With that said, she took the bowls and chopsticks and walked into the kitchen.

Sanshui
Seeing that Sanshui had finished eating, Asuka pulled his clothes and said in a childlike voice, "Brother, accompany me to study."

Sanshui couldn't resist her, so he came to the living room of Asuka's house with his slightly bulging stomach.

Asuka pulled Sanshui to sit down, and impatiently took out a thick book of fairy tales.

"Brother, I found the story you told me last time!"

"what story?"

Sanshui was taken aback, since he failed to lull the bird to sleep with a story for the first time, he has not told a story again.

"The Story of Three Little Monks!"

Asuka reminded loudly, then opened the book and pointed at the beginning of a story.

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain, and there were three young monks in the temple."

Sanshui took the book in surprise.

"Who wrote this?"

Asuka shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Sanshui turned to the first page of the book, but did not find the author, only the name of a publishing house.

The story of three monks carrying water to drink is the memory of his previous life.

If there are also here, it doesn't mean anything.

Culture has no boundaries. It is normal for a similar folk fairy tale to be born in this world.

Sanshui read the story of "Three Monks" carefully, and found that this story was not told at all with the monk carrying water, it was more like a story about a monk with magical powers. .

Asuka listened with relish.

"Brother, why does the monk breathe fire?"

"Well, maybe it's because these monks are transformed from monsters."

"Monster?!"

Asuka let out an exclamation, then quickly shook her head.

"No, there is a little monk inside, he is not a monster."

"Huh? Which?"

Sanshui asked curiously, Asuka seldom had his own opinions, so it was rare for him to take the initiative to speak this time.

"It's the monk who can spit water."

"why?"

Sanshui was looking forward to Asuka's answer.

Asuka raised his head and said proudly: "Because my father can also spit water, a lot of water!"

Asuka exaggeratedly used his small hands to compare the water as much as a river, and then talked about how powerful his father was.

Sanshui's slightly curious expression gradually subsided, and there was a touch of sadness and pity in his eyes.

It's not that Asuka didn't complain to him before that his father abandoned their mother and daughter and left, but now it can be seen that although Asuka complained about his father leaving without saying goodbye, he always regarded him as a hero in his heart.

But, Asuka, you know what?The Konoha ninja who never returned during the mission either rebelled against the village or died during the mission.

Either way, your father will hardly have a chance to come back.

Sanshui stretched out his hand to touch Asuka's forehead, and said in a very gentle voice.

"Well, Asuka's father is really amazing."
