Uchiha's Blade

Mana wants to go to school.

She doesn't go to school just to learn knowledge. She can learn that kind of thing faster than going to school.

With Totsuki Academy's connections, it would be easy to find teachers from elementary school to university for her.

But Manai's goal is not just to learn knowledge, but to understand the education system.

Mana, who once watched Senju Tobirama establish a ninja school, certainly understands the importance of education, but the ninja school only trains ninjas. Rather than saying that it is a school, Mana feels that it is more accurate to say that it is a wooden school. Ye Future Ninja Training Base.

They are just ninjas and have nothing to do with civilians.

In the world of the Demon Slayer Corps, she saw a more open attitude towards knowledge, which once shocked Mana, but even the world of the Demon Slayer Corps is incomparable to the current world.

The world is richer, more peaceful, better developed, and the popularity of education has exceeded countless times.

In Mana's world, ordinary people do not have much access to education. Being able to recognize a few words and do some simple calculations is already a good level. Ninjas gain more knowledge, but the most valuable thing is about Knowledge in history, politics, economics, etc. was monopolized by the nobles, and even ninjas found it difficult to learn it.

Not to mention more profound philosophy courses, which are completely unavailable.

The world of Demon Slayer is better than Mana's original world. Most ordinary people can also receive a certain degree of education. But if you want to learn more, such as going to high school or college, then only a small number of people can enjoy it. Treated.

If you are born female, you may have to face more unfairness in education.

The current world can be said to be the fairest world that Mana has ever seen. Both men and women can receive education, and most people can go to high school and college.

It was also for this reason that Mana specifically asked Nakiri Senzaemon not to go to a very good school, because the best school must only belong to a small group of people. What Mana wanted to know was something more universal.

Compared with the educational achievements of this country that shocked Jinna, the political and institutional development and construction achievements of this country seemed to have no interest in it.

Mana feels that anyone in their right mind will lose interest after seeing the institutional structure of this country.

Because this is entirely based on the brilliance of the Golden King.

This seemingly peaceful and tranquil prosperity is something Mana is familiar with.

Just like Konoha Village.

The ninjas went from fighting and fighting among their families, to building a village, to gaining a short-term peace... At least no one dared to openly clamor for war with Konoha. This was not because the war-torn world had changed. In fact, outside of Konoha, The struggle and fighting have not been reduced much, and the contradictions have even become more acute.

The reason why Konoha has become a place like a pure land in troubled times is because Konoha has Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. Even if Uchiha Madara later left the village, everyone would understand that once a war is launched against Konoha, Uchiha Madara would never sit idly by and no one knew whether he would intervene directly or even drive Susanoo to dance in other people's villages, so Konoha gained peace.

Konoha, which is built on the deterrence of a strong man, has an extremely fragile foundation of peace, which makes Konoha yearn for a strong man more than any other village.

So Mana, who is being trained as the future Hokage, must be strong. She must be strong enough to become another Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara.

Otherwise, once Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara die, Konoha will immediately fall into war again.

Mana still remembers that when she was very young, Senju Hashirama once took her to stand on the Hokage Rock overlooking the entire village, told her the history of the village, and told her: "This is the village you will fight to protect in the future."

How did she answer that time?

She said: "No, Hashirama-sensei, if it is for peace, this village has already gone astray from the beginning."

"The village was founded by Uchiha and Senju, but to be more precise, it was founded by Mr. Hashirama and Master Madara. All this peace only exists because of your strength, but you are also human, you You will grow old, you will die, and no one can even say whether someone more powerful than you will appear in the future. If either of these two situations occurs, this fragile peace will be overturned in an instant."

Without Senju Hashirama, the ninja world would immediately fall into war.

The most important revelation that Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara gave to the ninja world was by no means 'peace', but 'if you are strong enough, you can transform the world by your own will'.

Because from the very beginning, the foundation of peace was not based on a universally recognized value or principle. It was simply a decision made by the two strongest men in the world.

Probably because he didn't expect that Mana, who was only as tall as his waist at that time, would say such a thing, Senju Hashirama was stunned for a long time.

But he finally laughed, very heartily.

"I'm happy," he said. "Mana, if this is my mistake, then you go and change it!"

Senju Hashirama has done what he can do in his time, and the rest is the responsibility of the next generation.

Therefore, Manai has always felt that he has a very important responsibility.

After careful consideration at this time, she felt that she could take a look at the country's education, but not the political aspect. In this regard, she could look at the whole world.

"That's what I say, but the schools here are just the most ordinary schools. Plus, if I want to try it, I might focus more on other aspects in school, such as the study of knowledge... Well, as expected, it's still You need to find a teacher."

She can find a teacher to teach her at home, so she doesn't need to coordinate with the school's curriculum, and can also focus more on certain subjects according to her own needs, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

After making a simple plan in mind for what to do next, Mana finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next two days, she moved to a new house and bought herself a few sets of clothes that were relatively normal for this era. It was not easy to wear Anna's clothes all the time.

Compared to gothic skirts, Mana feels that pants are a more suitable choice for her.

In addition, because what Nakiri Senzaemon gave Mana was the ownership of an entire building, Mana felt that he could use this place as his own territory in the future.

Munakata Reishi has Scepter4, Zhou Fangzun has Barbara, and Kokujo-ro Daikaku has Gozhu Tower, so it’s reasonable for her to own an apartment building, right?

This is indeed the case. Mana renamed the apartment Wisteria Apartment and clearly classified it as his own territory. No royal authority expressed any objection. Only Munakata Reiji sent someone to confirm the situation with Mana.

After all, if Mana names this place the territory of the Colorless King, even Scepter4 will not be able to invade this place at will in the future except under special circumstances.

Since no one had objections, Mana confidently began to set up various barriers for the apartment.

Letting multiple barriers completely cover Fujirai Mountain is a consumption that is difficult for Mana to support, but it is only one building, and this consumption is completely affordable.

But while he was busy setting up barriers and seals, Mana finally discovered what his abilities as the Colorless King were.

She is a universal power bank!

Mana's King's Power can be converted into eye power for use, or it can be converted into chakra for use. If Mana needs it, it can even be converted into the characteristics of Wood Release.

The premise is that she must have a good understanding of the power she is transforming, and the power of the king can only be transformed into energy, not into specific abilities.

Mana can use the King's Power to transform Wooden Chakra and use it to perform Wooden Ninjutsu, but she does not have Wooden Cells herself.

But the ability of this universal power bank, even if it doesn't have wood escape cells, is enough to surprise Mana.

Because this means that as long as she is still in the world where the Dresden Slate exists, she has nearly unlimited chakra and eye power.

Her Mangekyō Sharingan, at least in this world, will not cause vision loss at all and can be opened as an ordinary Sharingan.

For an Uchiha who has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, is there any better news than this?No!

"I'm starting to look forward to starting a clan."

It is said that within a certain range, the more members of the king's clan, the more powerful the king will be. Mana is indeed a little curious about how powerful she can be in this situation.

You know, even after becoming the Colorless King, the power of the Dresden Slate has been changing her body, and her chakra amount is still growing slowly but steadily. This is different from the world of Demon Slayer Squad. , which is in sharp contrast to the fact that the total amount does not increase at all.

After Mana set up a protective barrier comparable to Konoha's, she finally had time to walk around the apartment.

"You have to understand the daily lives of everyone in this world. You won't learn anything from a lofty perspective."

After finding such an excuse for herself, Zhenna put on her small wallet and went out.

Her apartment is close to the Sumire-dori shopping street. There are residential areas and several schools nearby, so the overall atmosphere is more friendly.

Zhenna could see that the people walking on the street were in good spirits. This day was a weekend, not a time when students would be densely packed on weekdays, but there would also be students in twos and threes meeting to hang out together. They had such a carefree look on their faces. His innocent look was something Mana had never seen before.

In her hometown, such an application would only belong to five or six-year-old children at most. As for those who are fifteen or sixteen years old, or even older, they will no longer have such a simple and happy time.

Mana didn't think this was weakness, on the contrary, she envied such a look.

"It would be great if the children of Konoha could laugh like this."

With such a mood, Manai walked from the street to the end of the street and bought a lot of things.

If she wants to go to school, she must buy schoolbags, stationery, lunch boxes and other things.

Mana, who had never been to school, found everything very novel and bought a lot of things with great enthusiasm.

Because I didn't choose the color I liked, I bought a pure white lunch box and some paint, planning to paint it myself when I go back.

The good thing about being good-looking is that when buying things, the boss will always give her something extra. Even when buying pens, the boss will give her an extra pack of five refills, which can be replaced.

Mana was in a great mood after stuffing all the bits and pieces into her new schoolbag.

Uchiha's image in Konoha is a little too cold, and to put it bluntly, she is unsociable. This leads to the fact that when she goes out in her clan uniform, she rarely feels such warm hospitality.

Mana was in a good mood and patted her chest and promised the shopping street bosses: "I will cover this from now on. If you have any problems, just come to me and I will solve it for everyone!"

The Sumire Avenue Shopping Street is close to Wisteria Apartments, so it is her sphere of influence by default.

It's a pity that the shopping street bosses just laughed and thought the child was funny and didn't take it seriously.

Near noon, the owner of a bookstore recommended a place to eat to Mana: "Is this your first time here, little sister? You don't seem to be familiar with it. If you want to eat at noon, the small shop called Yukihira in front of you is The best choice.”

Mana smiled and waved: "Okay, then I'll go there to eat, thank you uncle!"

Because she hasn't gone out recently, Totsuki has arranged all three meals. Although only Mana lives in the entire apartment building, the kitchen contracted by Totsuki is luxurious.

Even if Mana didn't pay attention, she had heard people talking about it when she was running around setting up the barrier. It was said that the chefs were all outstanding chefs specially selected from Totsuki Resort.

Although the selection was urgent, it was not ambiguous at all. Chief Chef Dojima Gin personally presided over the assessment overnight.

This big move naturally made the selected chef think that he had an extremely important task, such as hosting leaders of other countries, but in the end he was thrown into being a chef in an apartment building that was completely incomparable to Totsuki Resort. , there was only one little girl living in the apartment who looked nothing special.

Therefore, it is inevitable that everyone will have some discussions in private.

Debate is debate, because of Nakiri Senzaemon's attention, the management of Wisteria Apartment is also very strict, but there is no situation where the chef fools things.

Mana's food these days can be said to be extremely delicious.

It's also tofu skin sushi, but Totsuki's chef makes it more delicious than the sushi restaurants in Konoha.

This made Mana even wonder whether Nakiri Senzaemon had the intention to "capture the king's heart, first he must capture his stomach".

After eating the food of Totsuki's chefs for a few days, Mana felt that it would be difficult to have better food. Totsuki's reputation in the cooking world is real.

But she was indeed hungry, so she walked into a small shop named Yukihira.

It was just lunch time, and there were not many people in the store. As soon as Mana walked in, a red-haired boy came over to invite her to sit down, and then asked her what she wanted to order.

Mana looked at the menu and asked, "It's my first time here. Is there anything you particularly recommend?"

"This is my first time here," the red-haired boy thought for a while and said, "Would you like to try Yukihira's special curry fried rice? The very good curry just arrived yesterday!"

The ninja's bottom line for eating is very low, so Mana nodded immediately: "Okay!"

"Okay, a piece of Yukihira's special curry fried rice!"

While Mana was waiting for the fried rice, there were gradually more and more people in the store, and in the end it was almost full. Mana felt that the bookstore uncle might not have lied to her. This store was probably the best one on Sumire Avenue.

When her curry fried rice arrived, Mana agreed with this even more.

"Wow, that looks great!"

The red-haired boy showed a proud and confident look on his face: "Please use it slowly!"

When she took the first bite, Mana knew that this shop was more than just an ordinary street shop. This plate of curry fried rice was not even as delicious as those chefs sent by Totsuki. No more.

What's more, the chefs carefully prepare their own meals, and even the ingredients are carefully selected as special supplies from the Totsuki Resort. The owner of this store is very busy, using the most common ingredients to satisfy all the guests in the store. !

After finishing a portion of curry fried rice quickly, Mana still felt that she was still unsatisfied.

Compared with the exquisite delicacies crafted by Totsuki's chefs, this restaurant is much less sophisticated, but the pyrotechnics and atmosphere of life give it a sense of peace of mind.

A standard portion of fried rice is probably enough for an ordinary 12-year-old girl to eat and fill up, but it is not enough for a ninja.

Mana quickly called to the red-haired boy: "Another pork chop rice!"

"Okay, a piece of pork chop rice!"

The pork chop rice was also quickly eliminated. Mana felt that there was a hint of magic in the red-haired boy's eyes when he looked at her: "Does the guest want anything else?"

Mana thought for a while: "Let's have another eel rice bowl, a big one!"

After she finished the large portion of eel rice bowl that was enough for an adult man, everyone else in the restaurant started to look at her with strange eyes.

Mana didn't care at all. She gave the red-haired boy a thumbs up: "Your food is really delicious!"

The red-haired boy smiled and said, "Not a good reception!"

Probably because she ate too much, Zhenna didn't want to move for a while. It happened that the peak period of dining had passed during the time she was eating. She planned to sit for a while before leaving, but found that no one else in the store had left either.

"Hey, what are you waiting for?"

An uncle next to him said: "Is this your first time here, little sister? I'm lucky enough to watch the Heike's traditional game today!"

The so-called competition is a cooking competition between the owner Yukihira Joichiro and his son Yukihira Soma.

Mana is actually a little curious about the owner who cooks delicious food.

...I always feel that it is a bit embarrassing to lose to the Totsuki chefs from a street restaurant casually.

As a result, she was spotted by the shop owner while she was watching the crowd: "Oh, is this the girl Sozhen said who ordered three meals?"

Mana blinked: "Huh?"

Yukihira Joichiro smiled: "If you can still eat, would you like to be our referee today?"

Mana asked: "If you are a referee, food is free, right?"

This sentence made Yukihira Joichiro laugh: "Of course, of course, the dishes in the competition are free for the judges to taste."

"Oh, then I want to eat!"

She is indeed not hungry now, but she is not unable to eat.

Of course it would be great to have another one... no, two for free!

I have only heard of kings who were killed or died by dropping their swords, but I have never heard of kings who died after eating.

Mana feels that there is absolutely nothing wrong with her!

Today the Yukihei family's competition dish is bonito cold tea rice.

"Please taste!"

As a ninja who has little time to think about cooking, Mana's knowledge of cooking is quite poor except for a few dishes.

Therefore, it is difficult for her to give any professional and wonderful evaluation.

But no matter how poor she is, she can immediately point out which portion is the most delicious.

"My word...choose the one on the left!"

The crowd watching behind them immediately let out a burst of admiration: "Oh, it seems that the boss also won today!"

Yukihira Joichiro said to Yukihira Soma, who looked unwilling to admit defeat, "Soma, it seems that you are far worse than me! Oh, you have lost at least five hundred times, right?"

Yukihira Soma immediately retorted: "Huh? What are you talking about! You only lost 446 times!"

Mana completely ignored the argument between the Yukihira father and son. She quickly finished Yukihira Joichiro's portion with the bowl in hand, and then took Yukihira Souma's portion again.

"Wow, this little sister has a great appetite!"

"It is said that I have eaten three portions of food before."

"Hey! Isn't this the fifth portion now?"

"Yeah yeah."

When Yukihira Souma turned around, he saw that half of his rice bowl had been eaten by Mana: "Didn't you say this portion is not delicious?"

"It's just not as delicious as the boss's. I think it's quite delicious, and it's already prepared and placed in front of you. It feels like a pity not to eat it."

Zhenna taught the other party seriously: "You have to cherish food, you know?"

Yukihira Soma: "...No, this isn't the point now at all, is it?"

The point is that you ate five portions of food by yourself, five portions!

As if she could tell what he was thinking from his expression, Zhenna said seriously: "Don't worry, the king will not be starved to death!"

Koping Soma: "..."

But he soon revealed a completely different aura of terror from before: "If that's the case, then I have newly developed dishes here, so let's eat them together without wasting them!"

“Squid feet sashimi with strawberry jam!”

Mana took a bite obediently, and saw the strange excitement and expectation on the face of Yukihira Soma across from him: "How is it? It tastes terrible!"

Mana's tone was flat: "It's really not delicious."

As he spoke, he chewed and swallowed the squid feet that tasted strange in his mouth.

Yukihira Soma: "...???"

Did the research and development of unpalatable dishes fail this time?

He looked at Mana, then looked down at the squid leg sashimi in his hand.

No, I have to try it myself!
