Konoha: Archers of the Hyuga family

bang——

The smoke filled the air, and Hinata Kumokawa's original position was replaced by a wooden stake. He himself appeared next to the three examiners before the smoke dissipated.

Another technique was used during this period.

Instantaneous.

It's a show off.

When used outdoors, it's okay to use earth escape, but among genin, the substitute basically rolls away or runs away. After all, even the most basic teleportation technique has a certain threshold.

It seems like a magical skill, but actually...

This skill is quite low.

Think of a cold ninja forming seals with his hands, channeling a wooden stake in front of him, taking advantage of the smoke to get away like a soul-based player...

……

The interview is over and passed successfully.

Hinata Kumokawa walked out of the door wearing a forehead protector, and left gracefully in the envious eyes of all the little kids.

We will have to wait until after the New Year before assigning new graduates to lead jounin teams.

In other words, after the Chinese New Year, I still have to go to school and wait with all this year's graduates for the Jonin captain to come and accept them. This is the case every year.

In addition, Konoha will issue bonus incentives to talents who graduate early. The amounts for different grades are slightly different. For example, if the first grade graduates early, it is 1 yen, which is [-] taels.

For an adult ninja, 1 taels is not much, and the reward for any C-level mission is several times this amount.

But it was a huge sum of money for Hinata Kumokawa.

Imagine how it felt when you were in first grade in 1000 and the school gave you [-] yuan instead of a certificate and your mother didn’t know about it?

Hinata Kumokawa feels like this now.

Now that I have a huge amount of money, it is naturally impossible to go home. I have to buy something to celebrate my official becoming a ninja. At least as a ninja, I need a few ninja tools...

……

……

"No need, grandma~"

"Take it, Obito!"

"I've already had breakfast..."

“But it tastes really good~”

"..."

Obito couldn't resist the old lady, so he took the lunch box with an embarrassed look.

It was just a simple effort to get a kitten out of a tree. There was no need to thank him at all. Besides, he got up late today and was dragged by an old woman to stuff him with food. I was afraid he would miss the exam.

"Then...I'll go to school first-"

Holding the lunch box in his arms, Obito ran out of the alley as if he were running away, getting out of the grandma's sight as quickly as possible, for fear that he would hand him some weird snacks if he slowed down...

Bang!

The two collided and each took two steps back.

"Hyuuga Kumikawa!"

"……it's me."

"On your head...!!!"

"Yeah, forehead protector."

"..."

Obito pointed at Hinata Kumokawa's forehead and was speechless for a moment. His heart seemed to be ravaged by ten thousand grass mud horses... After all, the conflict caused by Lin has not been resolved yet. The duel was just interrupted. it's not finished yet!

And this "enemy" is now a ninja, and is no longer at the same level as himself...

Anyone would be very unhappy if I let this happen.

Obito stared at Hinata Kumokawa for a while, then turned around and walked away. After taking two steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something again and turned around to ask.

"Where's Kakashi?"

"This will be the exam."

"……goodbye!"

Finally, Obito glared at Hinata Kumokawa and left angrily.

Hyuga Kumokawa didn't care about the hostility of such children. Meeting Obito was just an incident on the road, no different from meeting a cat lying on the wall meowing at him.

But his goggles did alert Hinata Kumokawa.

As a ninja whose blood limit is "eyeball", should I get one, lest I encounter a ninja with no martial ethics and throw ashes into my eyes that day...

The ninja shop is not far away.

Hinata Kumokawa went to change some change first.

Inspired by Obito's windproof goggles, before going to the ninja shop, I turned into a daily necessities store. I and the forty-year-old owner rummaged through the inventory for half an hour and pulled out a dusty windproof goggle. Goggles.

This kind of thing doesn't sell well in Konoha, let alone the juvenile version, which is almost impossible to sell... After all, it's just a village, and there can be as many kids as there are, and some things just get a batch of goods.

This thing is also a product from two years ago.

However, the quality is pretty good.

At least after cleaning, no lenses turned yellow...

"Forget it, I've been eating dust for so long, I won't charge you for these glasses, kid."

"Thank you, I'll buy a jar of glass balls~"

"Well, let me see the price...two hundred yen."

"Give."

Leave the daily necessities store.

Now there are three things that need to be worn on the head. Hinata Kumokawa thinks it is necessary to combine the Konoha forehead protector with the pure cotton forehead protector below, otherwise it will be too stuffy and panic. If it is a hot day, covering it like this can send people away directly. Walk.

Walk two steps further and you'll reach a ninja shop.

The boss is an old lady in her 60s, sitting in the back holding an old book. When Hinata Kumikawa walked in, she turned her head and glanced, pushing up her glasses.

"What do you need, Hinata boy?"

"Look first."

Hinata Kumokawa scanned the products in the store, picked up a kunai and turned it around. Because the hand shape did not fit well, the feel was not comfortable. Most of the kunai in the field of vision were ninja tools suitable for adult bodies. The smallest The number one is also for children around ten years old.

"Customers of the Hinata family are very rare, and young ninjas of your grade are even rarer. These mass-produced ninjas are consumables, and it is normal for them not to fit. If you need it urgently, just buy the smallest size. If you are not in a hurry... you can also customize it. It’s not impossible.”

The old lady put down the book and smiled.

Hinata Kumokawa shook his head.

There is no need for it. My body grows very fast at my age. If I customize it this year, I may be a size smaller next year.

Hyuga Kumokawa picked up a kunai, and after getting used to it for a while, it was still usable. It might not fit well as a dagger, but for the Hyuga clan, who have soft fists, tight kunai is indispensable, and its use is also an emergency. .

Kunai was not Hinata Kumikawa's purpose.

I don’t have much money, but I still have to spend it wisely.

Rather than spending it on consumables...

Soft fist and swordsmanship are almost all of his combat power. He has no long-range attack power at all. He must use ninja tools to make up for this shortcoming.

"I want a short sword. Also...is there a crossbow?"

"Of course, little one, this is a ninja shop."

The old lady smiled and raised her hand to rub Hinata Kumikawa's hair, walked towards the back door of the store, and motioned for Kumikawa to follow.

At the back is an ordinary living room. It seems that the old lady lives here. It is a commercial and residential room. In the corner is a spiral staircase that can go up or down.

The old lady went downstairs first, followed closely by Hinata Kumokawa.

As the basement door opened, countless fancy ninja tools were displayed in front of Hinata Kumikawa, such as double hooks, mandarin ducks from the ancient East, third brother's full-flavored rings, oversized shurikens, and the ones placed on the detonating talisman box. Triple shooter crossbow...

Hinata Kumokawa touched it, plucked the arrow string, and then picked up a featherless arrow and weighed it in his hand.

Too small, too light.

The range of this thing is only a hundred meters at most, and it has no accuracy at any distance. Even if it can fire three rounds in a salvo, it is not practical, and reloading is time-consuming. It is better to just throw away the Kunai Senbon.

Walking around the messy boxes and cabinets, Hinata Kumokawa suddenly found something that was quite long when folded, almost one meter long, and placed it on the top layer of the cabinet...
