Promoting Konoha's cup of wine at the Magic College

Hitomi Uchiha, who was expelled from the film industry by his best friend, plunged into agricultural breeding.

Needless to mention common staple crops such as rice, corn, wheat, potatoes, radish, cabbage, etc., most farmland is planned to mainly grow these crops, and the investment in related breeding resources is also the largest. After all, we need to eat well and be full. That's what matters most.

In addition, pepper, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, cumin, ginger and other spices are also grown in small quantities. These spices were mostly introduced from overseas in the past, and the output was sparse. Food cooked with the addition of spices has a particularly beautiful flavor. According to It is said to have excellent medicinal value and is very popular among nobles in various countries, but the price is also quite expensive.

The batch of spices produced by Hitomi Uchiha's ripening process sold for a pretty good price, which slightly enriched Konoha's finances. It is not difficult to see that it will become one of the pillars of Konoha's economy in the future.

However, these are mainly the research scope of Tobirama and Izuna, and Hitomi is mainly engaged in fruit cultivation during this time.

The native fruits of the ninja world are very limited. Generally speaking, they are ringo, pears, citrus, apricots, plums, mountain peaches, loquats, etc. In fact, they are not uncommon. Wild fruits can often be picked in the mountains and forests, but the taste is not very good. .

Modern fruits are fruits with excellent taste and rich taste that have been cultivated through continuous domestication and careful breeding. However, the ninja world that has just ended the troubled times can be said to be quite primitive in terms of fruit cultivation.

The peach is dry and dry, with a large pit and small and dry pulp; the smell of ringo is sweet and fragrant, so much so that some nobles use it to make incense. Unfortunately, it still tastes sour and has a bad taste; it was introduced from overseas and was used The watermelon regarded as a treasure by the nobles is mostly red with white when cut, with many and large seeds, and a very light sweetness...

This situation is also easy to understand. During the Warring States Period, everyone was in a precarious situation, and farmers tried their best to grow food that could fill their stomachs. There were relatively few fruit plantings, and no corresponding cultivation technology was developed. Fruits were basically left to their own devices.

You should also know that fruits in this state will not actively grow into a flavor that humans like to eat.

Plenty of juice, narrow core, plump pulp, sweet and delicious... These unnatural and beautiful qualities are of course specially cultivated by humans for their own appetite.

Modern society has experienced mature technological development, and a variety of fruits from all over the world have gathered. The fruit varieties cultivated by generations of people are simply a dimensionality-reducing blow to the ninja world.

Hitomi is very optimistic about the economic benefits of growing fruits.

Of course, relying solely on fruit seeds from other worlds is not enough. Konoha mainly needs to develop its own technology so that these precious fruit seeds from other worlds can adapt to the climate and soil of the shinobi world and completely take root here.

"What a sweet strawberry!" Sarutobi Hiruzen threw the red strawberry into his mouth, and at the same time threw it to his companion Shimura, and said with great interest, "Danzo, you should try it too!"

Danzo Shimura quickly took the strawberry thrown by Hiruzen, pursed his lips, and took a bite.

The sweet juice explodes in your mouth with just one bite, and your breath is filled with the sweet strawberry aroma.

Too much sugar, too sweet.

But because it is fruit, the sweetness is not cloying, but very refreshing.

For a moment, Danzo suspected that the strawberries were dipped in sugar, otherwise how could they be so sweet? But the sweetness was so refreshing that he quickly dispelled his suspicions.

"Produced in a laboratory again?"

Danzo lowered his voice and asked.

This is not an uncommon thing recently. Uchiha Hitomi often uses Wood Release to ripen a certain variety in advance when breeding seedlings and selecting seeds, so it can be iterated faster. Therefore, various types of fruits often flow out, and people in Konoha often You can buy laboratory-produced fruits.

Businessmen from outside often come to check out the new delicious and novel fruits, and directly hire Konoha ninjas to transport and sell them.

"Yes, I was lucky enough to grab it. This one is very popular!" Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed heartily, "It is said that it is a new variety of strawberry recently developed by Hitomi-sama. It tastes very good, doesn't it?"

Danzo said nothing, he frowned as if he was thinking about something.

Hiruzen didn't notice his strange expression.

He nimbly jumped up with his legs, landed on the tree, and looked into the distance as if he were building a pergola with his hands.

Under the blue sky, the previously flat land was divided into blocks, with green seedlings planted on them, and the breeze stirred up intoxicating green waves.

A man and a woman were walking on the path in the field, stopping and stopping, as if they were inspecting the growth of crops, with serious and focused expressions. Even the sunlight favored them, kissing their young and beautiful faces inch by inch, and lighting up their whole bodies. All sparkling.

Not sure what was said, the two looked at each other for a moment and laughed in unison.

The laughter was free and pure, echoing in the green fields, like a moving pastoral song.

"It's Hitomi-sama and her friend," Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed simply, then showed a knowing smile, "Oh, young man!"

Somehow, Danzo was a little irritated by this tone. He turned his head and sounded disdainful.

"It's just a bunch of kids."

"Danzo, Hitomi-sama is no longer a child," Hiruzen jumped down from the tree nimbly and gestured with his hands, "Although I still remember what she looked like when she was a child, I always feel that she is still very young. The little girl is being held in Teacher Tobirama's arms——"

"I think you are hallucinating," Danzo said, "Did Mr. Tobirama really hug her? It was obviously Mr. Uchiha or Mr. Hashirama who hugged her more."

He smiled coldly: "That Uchiha-sama will not allow the teacher to hug her."

Speaking of "that Uchiha-sama", Danzo showed a certain gloomy temperament.

He doesn't like the Uchiha family, which Danzo doesn't even hide; in fact, he doesn't like the Senju family very much either, but he hides this very well. To outsiders, he is definitely a Senju. A loyal fan - after all, his teacher is the Senju Tobirama!

The auras of these two families that founded Konoha are too strong, and both have powerful blood successors - Danzo, who was born in a family like Shimura, resents this.

There is nothing wrong with Shimura, they are a well-behaved family. Of course they are much better than those Nami ninjas or small families with little background, but of course they pale in comparison to the powerful ninja families like Senju and Uchiha.

But living in the same village, the distance between ninjas from different ninja clans is extremely close, and of course there will be many invisible comparisons.

In fact, power gradually emerges in these differences, especially between the Senju and the Uchiha.

Of course, Danzo does not hate them for being powerful, but hates why he cannot be powerful.

While he despises those members of other small families whose strength is worrisome, he is also eager to squeeze into the upper echelon of Konoha, the power level constructed by Senju and Uchiha, hoping that people in that power level can look up to him.

To put it in one sentence: Danzo longs for equality for everyone above him and a clear class for everyone below him.

With his own efforts, Danzo became a disciple of Senju Tobirama. He was so close to that circle, as long as he...

He hated Uchiha Madara.

Every time Uchiha Madara catches a glimpse of him, he always has a sharp and slightly sarcastic look that has seen through his background, but at the same time has an indifferent attitude due to contempt for his strength and methods. Uchiha Madara seems to believe that he can't make any splash no matter what. Not worthy of the attention of a strong man like him.

It's like that. Uchiha Madara obviously knows his character, but because he thinks he is weak, he thinks he can't cause any damage if he is bad, and he doesn't bother to pay more attention to him.

Such a disregardful attitude undoubtedly angered Danzo even more.

He hated the Uchiha's arrogant attitude.

Oh, this family is so arrogant just because of its evil eyes. If he had them too...

"No way, Teacher Tobirama did hug Hitomi-sama. Kagami told me..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen talked endlessly about the gossip about the teacher that he had heard from Uchiha Mirror. At that time, he ran up to take a look out of curiosity, but he saw Tobirama teacher and Uchiha Madara fighting. Had it not been for the Hokage-sama arriving in time...

Shimura Danzo listened silently and suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, Hitomi-sama's father, Madara Uchiha, is not out at all.

Mission, but defected. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was just chatting freely, suddenly looked serious: "Danzo, be careful what you say."

"That's true, isn't it?"

Hiruzen didn't object.

They all knew that this was true. What Tobirama did when Uchiha Madara had just defected was quite abnormal. Although the Hokage had always claimed that Uchiha Madara was only on a long-term mission, as Senju Tobirama's teachers, they But the disciple knew very well that it was just an excuse.

Lord Hokage was obviously depressed during that time, very melancholy and depressed.

But at the end of the day, that's not what they should be talking about.

But Danzo was reluctant: "Hitomi-sama will become the second generation in the future, right? But if there is a defecting father..."

He also hates Hitomi Uchiha, the proud daughter of heaven, the product of the union of Uchiha and Senju, the proud Uchiha genius, who was born with flowers and flowers in the spotlight, and who worked hard to squeeze into the power level of Konoha. , but she was born to do so.

And having inherited the blood of both clans, she is equally strong. At the age of 14, she once defeated Danzo, who claimed to be a strong man at the time.

This was just a trivial matter to Hitomi at the time. She didn't even pay much attention to it, as if it was a normal thing to win over Danzo Shimura, who was already an adult and already well-known in the ninja world.

But Danzo could not let go for a long time.

"I'm afraid Hitomi-sama misses her defected Uchiha father..."

Shimura Danzo harbors secret and twisted evil thoughts.

This doomed second generation of Konoha, I wonder how you are going to deal with your rebellious father?

However, I am quite looking forward to your righteousness and annihilation of relatives.

Hitomi Uchiha returned to the Uchiha clan.

The dusk is gentle and lingering, the evening breeze is slightly cool, and there is a moist smell in the air. It may rain at night.

Wearing a white kimono, Izuna was sitting on his knees on the wooden corridor, with a lot of cats meowing around him. He took out small dried fish and teased the cats while feeding them.

The scene is warm.

"Welcome back, Xiaotong."

Sensing the breath of his little niece, the beautiful young man in white raised his head and smiled softly.

Uchiha Hitomi suddenly understood for a moment.

At a certain angle and light, Uchiha Izuna's profile resembles that of her father, Uchiha Madara.

Just now it seemed like her father, Madara, was saying to her, "Welcome back."

Hitomi suddenly felt a sore nose and her eyes felt hot.

She walked to Quan Nai without saying a word, leaned over and knelt down, and suddenly hugged Quan Nai.

Hitomi rarely has such a childish temperament. At least when Izuna knew her, she was already a strong and rational ninja.

Quan Nai patted her shoulder and said softly: "What's wrong?"

The little niece buried in his arms muttered: "It's nothing, I just... suddenly wanted to go find Papa."

Although he knew intellectually that it was not a very wise idea to leave the village to find his father, Uchiha Madara, if he wanted to retain his father for a long time, he must first make some achievements and convince his father to continue building Konoha.

But emotionally, Hitomi wants to see him, and she wants to see him now and immediately.

She wanted to tell her father that she had grown up a lot, became stronger, had a wonderful academic experience, made close friends, had lovely children, and cultivated many delicious fruits with plenty of sugar. , super sweet, Madara will definitely like it, Konoha will become better and better, Madara will also like it...

These thoughts are fragmented, intermittent, illogical, and cannot be expressed in words. They just burst out of my heart.

want to see him.

This unreasonable strong emotion, with violent impulses, rushed through Hitomi's body, and finally turned into large, hot tears rolling down her face.

The warm cat's paw gently touched it, wiping away the tears that had fallen out of nowhere for Hitomi.

The kitten stood up straight, with worry written all over its round and fluffy face - this was a kitten that was probably only a few months old.

Seeing Tong stop crying, he looked at it blankly,

The kitten jumped into Hitomi's arms, meowing affectionately, and kept pulling her with its furry little arms.

Being worried about a kitten under the age of 10, Uchiha Hitomi had some complicated feelings. She raised her hand to touch the cat, and at the same time, Izuna raised her hand to touch her.

"I'm sorry, I just lost my temper."

The little girl was sobbing while petting the cat, with shiny tear stains on her face and a shy expression.

"It's fine for Xiaotong to be like this, there's nothing rude about it," Quan Nai said, her smile so beautiful in the afterglow of the sunset that it was almost dreamy, "We are a family, what's the rude thing about crying in front of our family members?"

Quan Nai sighed almost imperceptibly, hugged her little niece comfortingly, and said in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"I also... really want to see him."

The well-fed cats were purring, the wind was blowing through the trees and flowers in the courtyard, the dusk light was being swallowed up bit by bit by the darkness, and the sky was gradually dimming.

brother.

Izuna closed her eyes.

The unspoken call disappeared into the beautiful sadness of dusk when encountering the devil.

It did rain during the night.

Hitomi didn't sleep, and she was in a low mood dealing with the errands that had accumulated during the day - things that she often dealt with when her father, Uchiha Madara, was around.

She was still very young at that time, and she would always read the scroll solemnly while her father was dealing with general affairs. From time to time, she would secretly look at her father, Uchiha Madara.

When she couldn't understand, Hitomi would confidently run to her father with the scroll in her hand, and she would lie in his arms and listen to him explain the key points to her in his deep voice.

At that time, Konoha had not yet connected to the wires, and they still used traditional oil lamps with dim light. When the lamp oil burned, it exuded an indescribable faint smell, which merged with the smell of his father's arms and confused it into a kind of childhood feeling. , soothing, sleepy smell.

But it's completely different now.

The dim light of the oil lamps that hurt the eyes has long been replaced by bright incandescent lamps. Hitomi has grown up and needs to handle these chores by himself, and his father has long since left Konoha, which disappointed him.

When Hitomi Uchiha grew up, she was doing her father's job alone in the place where her father used to work.

The rain outside was loud, making crisp music on the roof tiles.

The strong wind was blowing everywhere, and the huge house made a ping-ping-pong-pong sound. The wind chimes in the corridor made a ethereal and rapid sound, tinkling, ticking, ticking. The bustle of the desolate things made people feel a kind of dehumanizing coldness. .

Hitomi Uchiha moved his slightly stiff neck, pressed the official document with a paperweight to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, and then stood up to close the window that was blown open by the wind.

The incandescent lamp flickered at this time, and a strange aura filled the air.

Hitomi closed the window without any fluctuation in her heart.

She turned around and looked down at the strange intruder with a cold gaze.

A thick, black, sticky substance dripped from the floor.

The moist vapor hit his face, and the chakra on the intruder was extremely familiar.

——There is no mistake, it is the chakra aura of his father, Uchiha Madara.

The intruders were polite.

It claims that it is the product of Uchiha Madara's will.

On a cold, starless, rainy night, the will of her father, who came from a thousand miles away, told Hitomi a beautiful dream about the moon.
