Puppeteer in Naruto

"Katakura, I am leaving Xiaohe Village." Takeda said solemnly to Katakura, his tone equally firm.

Katakura understood Takeda's determination, took a good look at Takeda, and then said, "It's okay to leave now to stay away from this war-torn place, but you have to leave quickly. If you leave too late, the ninjas will fight on the road. It's dangerous, Takeda, when do you plan to leave? Where are you going?"

After hearing Katakura's reply, Takeda understood that Katakura would not stop Takeda from leaving the village. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I'll leave tomorrow. I want to go to the beach."

"It's okay to go to the beach. It's far away from here and there shouldn't be any war." Katakura nodded, "Besides, you can take care of yourself, so go ahead! But do you know how to get there?" "

Takeda said in surprise, "Old man Katakura, didn't you say that you can reach the seaside by going down the river?"

"You can reach the beach this way, so prepare more food for the road." Katakura looked at Takeda with concern, "Have a rest at night and walk during the day, and you can reach the beach in about three days. "

"Katakura, last time I asked you, didn't you say you didn't know?" Takeda asked Katakura with a smile.

Katakura's eyes flickered, "I asked someone to ask for you when I went to the capital last time." After finishing speaking, Katakura straightened his body and continued, "You go downstream along the river outside the village, maybe In about half a day, you will see the big river. If you continue to follow the river downstream, you will reach the sea."

"There is a village near the estuary, called Haichao Village." Katakura looked up and recalled, then said, "I wonder if that village is still there after so many years."

"Thank you for asking so many questions for me, Chief Katakura." Takeda said gratefully.

"Then go back and rest early! I'll see you off tomorrow." Katakura looked tired and shook his head.

When Takeda returned home, the rabbit came out and cooed around Takeda.The rabbit was already hungry, so Takeda walked to the kitchen, and the rabbit jumped behind Takeda.When I got to the kitchen, I found a carrot and gave it to the rabbit. The rabbit whined twice and then started to eat the carrot.

Takeda looked at the rabbit and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and you have to return to nature. You may not be able to eat carrots in the future. You can only eat grass or leaves." He touched the rabbit's head. Takeda also started preparing his own dinner.

Takeda thought about Katakura's words and realized that it was indeed time to prepare some food. In fact, there was nothing to prepare. The pheasants he picked up in the mountains a few days ago were all eaten.If you only have rice left at home, make more rice balls.There are also fish in the river, so there will be no shortage of food.

The next morning, I ate two rice balls prepared yesterday and fed the rabbit a carrot.Takeda began to pack his gifts and moved all the things he wanted to take away to the living room, which was really a lot.

Three pulley crossbows, a machete, tools used in daily modifications and making pulley crossbows, some arrows, some animal traps, a bag of toy balloons and balls, and books are all put into the bag, which is full of a bag.

Clothes and quilts are needed on the road.You need to use it when you go to a new place.Although Katakura said, you can get to the seaside, which is Haichao Village, in three days.However, it would be better to have a quilt when sleeping at night.

Takeda rarely stays at home except for sleeping. The little rabbit is very happy today. Wherever Takeda goes, he follows him.He followed behind and whined from time to time.

After packing all the things, Takeda was ready to start moving things.Then Katakura arrived.

"Takeda, are you leaving?" Katakura's voice came from outside.

"Not yet, Katakura." Takeda said as he walked to the door and opened it.Little Rabbit also followed Takeda to open the door.

Katakura walked in, saw Takeda packed and saluted, looked at Takeda and said, "How can you carry so many things on the road?"

Takeda touched his head in embarrassment and said, "I forgot to mention it yesterday. I made a bamboo raft, which is in the bamboo forest in front. Move all these to the bamboo raft, and you can set off."

"Oh, that's a good idea. In this case, you might not need three days, but only one day or half a day to reach Haichao Village. It depends on how fast the river flows." Katakura nodded. He continued, "Do you need me to help you get something? There are so many things." He looked at the little rabbit next to Takeda again, "I actually brought a rabbit with me."

Takeda touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "I don't know whether to take this rabbit with me or not. It has been raised for a long time, so I might as well let it go. If it keeps following me, let it follow." That’s fine.”

The rabbit seemed to understand Takeda's words and kept following Takeda when he went out.

Two people, one old and one small, slowly walked to the bamboo raft beside the bamboo forest, and they wanted to add a rabbit. Katakura also looked at the bamboo raft and gave a thumbs up, "That's really good. That’s right, Takeda, I didn’t expect you to have such skills.”

"You are too generous, Katakura." Takeda shyly replied, "Thank you for coming to see me off, old man Katakura."

Takeda moved everything onto the bamboo raft, but the little rabbit didn't dare to follow him. He just stood on the shore and watched Takeda without leaving.Takeda also looked at the little rabbit, wondering whether to take it away.

When Katakura saw Takeda, he couldn't make up his mind, so he said to Takeda, "Takeda, since you can't let go of this rabbit, take it with you! If you don't take it with you, it might get into someone else's stomach one day. went."

Takeda thought for a while, and it was indeed the case. If I left this rabbit alone, it would really be eaten by someone. If I wanted to eat it, I would have to eat it myself. Only I can eat my rabbit.

Takeda decided to take the little rabbit with him. Takeda got off the bamboo raft, picked up the rabbit, and returned to the bamboo raft.He looked back at Katakura and waved, "Goodbye, Katakura."

Katakura nodded and said loudly, "Go! Get as far away from here as possible. Come back when the ninjas are finished fighting."

The water in the river is not very strong, and the bamboo raft does not move very fast, but it is still much faster than a person walking.

Takeda was sitting on the bamboo raft, holding a little rabbit in his arms.Enjoying the slight breeze on the river.It didn't take long for the bamboo raft to enter the big river. The water flow began to become faster, and the bamboo raft drifted faster and faster with the current.

After leaving Xiaohe Village, escaping from the war-torn place, and about to start a new life, Takeda's mood became better and better. He grabbed the little rabbit from his arms, put it on the bamboo raft, then stood up and shouted loudly Then, "Ah!!! Ah!!! Ah!!!" The sound spread far and wide, and then there was an echo and it came back again. Only the sound of "Ah" echoed between heaven and earth.

Takeda, who felt his whole body was smooth, sat down again. The little rabbit on the bamboo raft was curious about his situation and looked around, but he did not dare to move.The two ears also drooped. It was probably a little scared, so Takeda hugged it back into his arms.

Looking at the little rabbit, Takeda said, "Since I have decided to keep you forever, do you think I should give you a name? Little rabbit." Takeda thought about what to call it, "If you don't say anything, I’ll just pick one at random.”

The rabbit looked at Takeda and cooed. "I'm telling you to squeak, not to coo." (The little rabbit said, I'm not a mouse, so why should I squeak?)

Takeda was in a really good mood and said happily, "Since you can't squeak, let's call you 'Gugu'!! Anyway, in addition to 'Gugu', you can only 'Woo'." Takeda rubbed his head happily. Touched the little rabbit's belly.

It was evening in a blink of an eye, and Takeda didn't know how long it would take to reach the beach. If he was still drifting on the river at night, he might not be able to see clearly when he encountered a bend in the river.

There were some bends in the river before, and Takeda needed to use bamboo poles to control the direction of the bamboo raft. Otherwise, the bamboo raft would rush directly to the shore along with the impact of the river water.

Some people may think that there is no danger in washing up on the shore.However, in fact, the more the river turns, the more rocks will be on the river bank. The impact of the river water is strongest at the turning place, so the silt will be the least, and the ones that can stay firmly on the river bank will be There are only rocks. I don’t know if anyone will be fine if they hit it, but the bamboo raft will definitely be broken.

Takeda stopped the raft, dragged it to the grass on the shore, and tied the raft to a tree with a rope.The little rabbit "Cuckoo" found that the boat had stopped, and his drooping ears stood up again. Of course, he also got off the boat and was happily eating grass on the grass on the shore.

Takeda didn't bring any carrots with him, so he had to let "Gugu" eat grass by himself.Takeda took out the rice balls and started eating them.

It was getting dark soon, so Takeda decided to spend the night by the river.The ground by the river is wet, and you can't sleep. You'd better sleep on a bamboo raft!For safety reasons, Takeda found animal traps inside the salute and placed them around the bamboo raft.

After a while, the little rabbit Cuckoo was full and was jumping towards Takeda. He saw a circle of animal traps next to the bamboo raft.The little rabbit cooed and didn't dare to jump anymore, and shouted "cooing, cooing" to Takeda.Takeda carefully walked through the gap in the animal trap and carried Gugu back to the bamboo raft.

It seems that the little rabbit is not too stupid and knows not to step on this thing.After all, it has been stepped on once before.Now I'm really a little smarter.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and it was very cold by the river at night. Fortunately, Takeda brought a quilt.Takeda buried his whole head under the quilt, and of course, took the little rabbit with him.
