Naruto Hunter

In order to clear himself of suspicion, Xi pretended to be depressed for almost a month. During this month, he even stopped practicing, but his acting skills improved significantly. He dared not say anything else. If he was asked to play a depressed patient, he would definitely do it. The performance in its most authentic style.

Now that he has recovered from his illness, he can no longer stay in other people's homes. Terumi Mei does not allow him to return to his original home. For this reason, he has to move again. The apartments provided in the village are free of rent, but Terumi Mei does not want it. He went back to live in that area, fearing that he would think of things he shouldn't think about, so she decided to do it first and found an apartment with a relatively cheap rent. This was Xi's new home.

There are many similarities between the Ninja world and real society, especially the social form of Neon Country, which is also the same after being condensed into Ninja Village. There are also business monopolies and house slaves here, but they are not as frantic and unrestricted in demolition as the Chinese developers. When it comes to building buildings, Kirigakure Village is only such a big place. The closer to the center, the more prosperous and expensive the price. The more remote places in the village, the cheaper.

As the saying goes, cheap goods are not good, and this is true. The same applies to houses. The free dormitories provided by Kirigakure Village are very shabby. They are old-style apartment buildings. The sewer pipes are often blocked and the surrounding environment is not good. If not This is a gathering place for ninjas, and the surrounding security situation is still chaotic. Compared with modern times, these apartment buildings are somewhat similar to the dormitories assigned by old factories in the 70s.

Those higher than this grade belong to low-rent housing and affordable housing. These houses are also in the nature of apartment buildings. They may be slightly newer and will be renovated and maintained frequently, but the location is not very good. Those with a higher grade are so-called One of the houses was built. Most of these houses were bought and sold. Very few of them were renovated or rebuilt. Those who could live here were those with some spare money. They were elite chuunin at the end and were basically jounin. Lord.

People in the ninja world generally get married much earlier. This involves the living habits of the Neon Kingdom. After marriage, you can live with your parents, or you can live on your own, but if you live out, you need to solve the house yourself. Many civilian ninjas themselves There is no house. If you want to get married and buy a house, you need money. The free apartment buildings provided in the village are limited and you cannot live there forever.

The apartment building is free for ninja students to live in, mainly for those orphans who have been brought back. Genin can also live here, but they need to pay rent. The rent is definitely cheaper than other places. Singles are suitable to live here, but if you get married, this house is too After the break, the rich ninjas either bought or rented houses, and gradually left the apartment buildings.

There is only so much land, and there are only so many houses. It can be said that unless Kirigakure Village is destroyed and rebuilt, the layout here will never change. What if the people who live in good houses never leave, and new people want to buy them? ?This involves another social system issue in Neon Country, property tax. Do you want to occupy a house and live in it forever?Yes, as long as you can afford the taxes, otherwise you can just get out.

For example, a jounin worked hard on missions and finally saved enough money to buy a house. He could live here with his family. But one day he suddenly died in the mission and the village needed help. With a pension, the family has lost their source of livelihood. They can only live with this pension, and maybe some previous savings. But it is too difficult to continue living in this house. If they die, where will they get the money to continue paying taxes?

If you can't pay the property tax, the best way is to sell your house. With the money from selling the house, you can either move to an affordable place to live, or rent a house. This also leads to the frequent replacement of single-family houses in the village. People, this is also caused by the high death rate of ninjas. This situation will continue until a war breaks out. If ninjas die in large numbers, there will be many vacant houses in the village. What should I do?When supply exceeds demand, sell at a reduced price.

Different worlds, the same social form, the relationship between supply and demand remains unchanged, and there are too many ninjas in the village to support, so let's start a war. If you are lucky, you can get something back from the enemy, but if you are not lucky, you can. Get rid of a group of cannon fodder ninjas and keep the ones who waste food. If you don't want to be eliminated by the village because of these problems, you must strive for the top. When you reach the top, you will be safe.

The topic turned back to the house. Terumi Mei's home was a traditional one-family house. The house she rented for Shio was an apartment building in the style of Neon Country. It was not too far from her home because her home was not in the village either. In the central area, her father was just an ordinary jounin. It would be nice if he could afford a house. Don't even think about moving to the second ring road. The fourth ring road was not uninhabitable.

Being far from the center of the village means that it is close to the ninja school. Many training grounds in the village are in remote places. After all, ninjas are very disturbing when they practice ninjutsu. The ninja school is not that remote, but it is definitely not in the center. It is equivalent to the fifth ring. , the training ground is the legendary Seventh Ring, such as Tong County, so the question arises, the Fifth Ring is a ring after all, how can people who live on the other side of the ring go to school, knowing that there is only this ninja school in the village.

The answer is that there is no way, either go out early, you have to be a ninja anyway, get up early and run as exercise, or live in the apartment building provided by the village, which is also regarded as a dormitory. Ninja students can live for free, even if there is a house in the village. You can live there, as long as you can tolerate the environment, so you can live anywhere in the ninja school. The farthest one is really equivalent to the other side of the village. You get up early every day and run to school.

This has also led to a problem. It is also on the fifth ring road and close to the ninja school. The housing prices are relatively more expensive. This is also considered a school district house in Kirigakure Village. For the same reason, the rent is also expensive.

Xi receives an economic subsidy from the village, also known as a meal subsidy. This amount of money is not enough for him to pay the rent. Fortunately, he still has a scholarship from the school. After he graduates, the scholarship will naturally be gone, as will the meal subsidy. Now, if he wants to make money, he can only do tasks, but now, it is inevitable that his expenses are high again. For this reason, Terumi Mei takes the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of food, saying that if she eats, there will be Shio. .

Xi felt very uncomfortable in his heart. The more the debt got deeper, the deeper the relationship got. It was not that he didn't understand Terumi Mei's thoughts. The two of them got along more, and she was in love again. When she met another genius who could compare with her, she felt a little fondness in her heart. , the problem is that he doesn’t. He really doesn’t like strong girls. He originally thought it would be good to be brothers, but in the end, he felt like he was just a softie.

Compared with Xi, Terumi Mei's parents are in the most complicated mood. They haven't even gotten married yet, and their elbows are already bent. If they get married in the future, the few things in the house will probably not be enough for Black Heart Cotton to move out. .

Because of an accidental peeping, the fate of many people was changed. The most innocent ones were Nikaido Kazuya and five other ninjas. They died inexplicably in Xi's hands. Xi also changed. He had feelings for Nikaido. Kazuya was full of guilt at first, but during the period of pretending to be ill, he had been hinting to himself like self-hypnosis that he was right. If he didn't do this, he would be the one who died.

The result of this psychological suggestion was his darkening. Xi never thought that the culprit of this incident was that he pretended to be Terumi Mei to spy on him. He only wanted to die if the other party did not die. This kind of thinking made him selfish. He also became more and more self-interested when thinking about problems, and became more and more indifferent towards outsiders. He was originally the kind of character who ignored matters that had nothing to do with him, but later he became indifferent and ruthless. He didn't even care about things that had nothing to do with him. No thought will be given.

Terumi Mei's fate has also changed. She initially only had a slight affection for Xi, but he lived in her home for a month and she took good care of him for a month. This month of getting along with her made her a little obsessed. This feeling of taking care of others also gave rise to the idea of ​​​​continuing to take care of her. There was an illusion that she wanted to get married before falling in love, as if it was destined that Xi would be her husband in this life.

Xiu is aware of this change in Terumi Mei. If he wants to say who else has a place in his heart after his blackening, it must be Terumi Mei. It can be said that she is the only ray of sunshine left in his heart. It is a pity that he cannot What to promise to the other party? Firstly, the other party is not his type. Secondly, he is still too young. No matter how crazy he is, he will never attack a minor. The current Terumi Mei has no attraction to him at all.

As a Neptune, his interests and hobbies are the same as Meng De's. He doesn't like lolita and always finds it boring, even if it's a legal lolita, and he can't do it.

The mismatch of minds between the two parties caused the behavior patterns of the two to change in the following days. Terumi Mei became more and more enthusiastic and clingy. In order not to express her deliberate rejection, Shio could only pretend to be indifferent. He looked as if he hadn't recovered from the previous blow. In fact, he didn't need to pretend. He had indeed become indifferent. He was just pretending to be indifferent to Meiming, towards others?

The life and death of those people is none of his business.

This kind of blackening is scary, and what’s even scarier is that it becomes a habit. In the end, you don’t know if it’s really like this. Xi can’t even tell the difference. He doesn’t want to tell it so clearly. It’s too tiring. He only knows one thing. , Terumi Mei is someone he trusts, he cares about her safety, and everything else doesn't matter. This idea is carved in his heart like a curse, and the final result is that he can't even accept Terumi Mei.

The night before the graduation exam, Terumi Mei made an appointment with Xi and said straight to the point: "Xi, don't graduate with me. Please continue to stay in school for two years."

"Why?" Xi sat there holding the sword and asked calmly.

"Because something is wrong with you now. You are too withdrawn. You need new friends and companions. You can't just have me by your side."

"This reason is not enough. You are not me. I know my own situation."

"Xi, I'll talk to you again seriously."

"I'm also listening very carefully."

"Okay, okay, I don't want to quarrel with you." Terumi Mei said with a headache: "Even if we graduate, have you ever thought that a team is composed of three people. In addition to you and me, there will be new people coming. of."

"what are you worried about?"

Terumi Mei opened her mouth but didn't speak. What could she say? In the past, she might have been worried that Xi would not get along with other teammates, but now she was more worried about whether her new teammates would be killed by Xi. In Kirigakure Village, This kind of thing is not unusual. When encountering a teammate who is lagging behind, some ninjas simply kill the teammate and report back that a teammate was killed by the enemy. As long as it cannot be verified, it doesn't matter.

Shio understood Terumi Mei, just as she also understood Shio. Seeing his look, she knew that nothing she could say was of any use, so she waved her hand and turned around to leave.

The graduation exam was held the next day. It was originally said that two people could graduate without taking the exam, but that was not possible. Terumi Mei could do it, but Shio couldn't because he was only in his second year. If he wanted to apply for early graduation, he had to take the graduation exam, which is the so-called graduation exam. In a one-on-one battle, the one who survives graduates successfully, but the one who dies is worthless and cannot even get a pension.

Shio is not Momochi Zabuza. He can't commit the crime of killing everyone. That would be meaningless. He doesn't need the so-called evil reputation to scare others. He just participates in the assessment normally and rushes towards the opponent very calmly. He cut the opponent in half with one knife, and two broken pieces of wood appeared in front of him. He guessed that the opponent would have a substitute technique, so what, his ninjutsu was already ready.

He didn't even know the name of his opponent in the assessment. He glanced at the unlucky guy who was beaten to death by the water rushing against the wall. Xi left the assessment with an expressionless face. A duel of this level was not interesting to him. After two years of special training in the dream, three years of Nen skills, two years of Ninjutsu and one year of swordsmanship, he usually trained with Mei Terumi as his opponent. At this time, he could be very negative. To put it bluntly, he can be regarded as the genius of Kirigakure Village.

Compared to Terumi Mei, Shio is still a little behind, mainly because the opponent has practiced for several years more than her. After all, this girl refined chakra before she went to school. Terumi Mei, who just graduated, has the strength of a jounin, and Shio only After two years of chakra refining, he was at the Chuunin level at most. Unlike when he first entered the second year, when he could barely reach the passing line for Chunin, now he is also among the top among Chunin.

Among the ninja class, genin is the easiest to achieve. You are a genin right after graduating from school. After completing training such as climbing trees and treading water, and then completing a certain number of tasks, you can pass the exam and become a chunin. Chunin is a ninja village. The backbone of the force is mainly because there are too few jounin. Each village has strict requirements for the promotion of jounin. Not just any merit can become a jounin.

There are so many chuunin, what should I do if I can't become a jounin? There is an option for students with special talents, which is considered as a bonus in the college entrance examination, especially for jounin. Apart from that, the rest are all chunin, so chunin There is a huge range of strength between them. Some chunin are more powerful than special jounin, just because they have no chance to become jounin, and they don't want to be special jounin. Some chuunin are even as powerful as jounin, and they have not changed. To become a jounin is just because of insufficient merit.

A ready-made example is Mei Terumi. She has reached the standard of jounin strength, but she is still a double-blooded successor. Even if she is the last jounin, she is still a jounin, but her identity is still a genin because she has just graduated and her mission has been completed. The rate is 0. Even if she is specially promoted, she will not be promoted to become a chuunin. What's more, special promotion only happens during wars. Too many captains died, so she has to be promoted to genin.

After passing the exam, Shio came to the gathering classroom. Terumi Mei was already waiting inside. There were other ninjas who had passed the exam. He didn't know them. He just walked towards Terumi Mei and sat down next to her. Her There will always be a place for him beside her, and no one dares to sit next to her, because Mei Terumi can really hit people, and so can Xi. There was a blind eye before, and Xi almost beat her to death on the spot, because This ninja school suspended him from classes for a week, but he didn't care at all.

"Who is the other guy?" Xi asked. He knew about the teacher who led the team. Terumi Mei's father was behind the scenes, otherwise the two of them would not be in the same team.

"You don't know me either."

"Are there any of these people?"

"Not yet."

"Oh."

After waiting for a short time, the classroom door opened, and another student came in. Like Terumi Mei, he was a fourth-year student. Among this batch of graduates, only Xiu graduated early.

"Here, it's her." Terumi Mei greeted the new girl, but she was talking to Xi.

"Looks a bit familiar."

"Nonsense, you've seen her many times, but you never remember who she is."

It was a joke, Xi Xin said that not only had she seen them before, but they had also seen each other's friendship thoroughly, rubbing each other's backs.

The girl walked up to Terumi Mei, said hello to her, and then said to Xi: "Hello, although this is not the first time we have met, this is the first time we have spoken. My name is Izaki Yumi, please take good care of me in the future. "

"Hello." Xi nodded, turned to Mei Mei and asked: "What's going on, does she know?"

"Of course, the person my father is looking for is Yumi's uncle. How can she not know that?"

"Oh."

Izaki Yumi sat on the other side of Terumi Mei, sitting very quietly. She didn't have the enthusiasm at all when taking a bath. It seemed that she didn't dare to talk much because she was not familiar with Xi. The main reason was that Xi exuded an unfriendly atmosphere. breath.

In fact, she doesn't need to be so afraid. Anyone who can sit in this classroom has at least one life in their hands, otherwise they wouldn't be able to come here. She shows fear and weakness. It's not that she is really like this. It's a kind of protective color. Everyone knows this, and she doesn't want to deceive these people. This habit will be used to deceive enemies in the future.

"Yumi is very good at illusions, which is exactly what we need." Terumi Mei turned to Shi and explained.

This is true. Neither Shi nor Terumi Mei are good at illusions. Their souls are very strong and can avoid most illusions. They can also quickly recover from the Uchiha clan's illusions, but it does not mean that they are good at illusions. , this configuration can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of their team. In fact, it is more of a protection for Izaki Yumi. After all, there are two geniuses in the team, and this team will not be easily arranged as cannon fodder when encountering a war.

When the last student who passed the assessment came in, the leading teacher appeared. The students whose names were called followed and left. Their leading teacher was the third one to appear. There was no pretentiousness at the end. It was normal. After a roll call, the three of them were called out, and they found a deserted place. Everyone introduced themselves, and they were officially acquainted.

Isaki Yumi's father is only a chuunin, and his uncle is a jounin. He is barely considered a high-level official in the village and has some power. In addition, Terumi Mei's father is also a jounin, so the teacher who leads their team is very attentive in the village. Arrangements have been made, and it won't work if you don't concentrate. Just according to Mi Mei and Xi's strength, arrange for a chuunin to come over, and then find out later that he can't beat the students. How embarrassing.

"Introduce yourself." The leader of the team spoke. He was young and looked like he was in his 20s: "My name is Nobuo Sakamoto, a Jonin. I used to be in ANBU. Now I quit to be your leader. After you are promoted to chuunin, Before, I would lead you to complete various tasks. Due to my high level of ninja, I am likely to encounter some dangerous tasks. I need to tell you about this in advance. Now it is your turn."

"Hello, teacher, my name is Mei Terumi. I am good at water release ninjutsu, double blood succession limit, boiling release and melting release. Please give me your advice in the future."

Kirigakure's self-introduction is very good. It's not as formal as Konoha. It talks about dry stuff. It's nothing to talk about dreams and what to do. It's better to talk about something serious.

"Hello, teacher, my name is Izaki Yumi. I am good at illusions and wind escape, but not good at melee combat and physical skills."

Isaki Yumi's introduction made Xi couldn't help but look at her more. She didn't expect that the little girl looked so weak and weak, but she also had such a trump card as Wind Release. However, it was not unusual. Not all Water Release ninjas were in Kirigakure Village. There are people with fire escape.

"It's your turn." Nobuo Sakamoto looked at Xi and said.

"My name is Xi. I am good at water escape and swordsmanship, but not good at throwing."
