[Naruto] Survival Records of the Warring States Period

The fate of the ninja Minazuki Satoshi changed during a guard mission.

It was a time when Jin Shimizu, the powerful minister of the Kingdom of Water, was at his peak. The Minazuki clan, known as the Snow Clan, was hired to guard Shimizu Jin and his family.

He followed his clan brother to "see the world" and picked up a cat there.

The cat has an owner, and the owner is his employer's daughter, Haruka Qingshui, who is two years younger than him. She is doted on by her parents, and she never has to worry about whether she will die on the battlefield one day.

Because he picked up the eldest lady's cat, he was assigned to protect Qingshui Haruka's safety. In addition, two female elders performed the task with him.

There are three shifts a day, and he is responsible for the day shift.

The ninja didn't need to appear in front of his employer unless necessary. He would squat on the beams or the roof every day and watch Qingshui Haruka.

The eldest lady was hungry, and she ate better than the clan leader Shui Wuyue.

When the eldest was hot, he would be called down briefly to make some ice to cool the house.

The eldest lady fell, and seven or eight servants gathered around the eldest lady to inquire about her welfare.

Even the eldest lady's cat has several people taking care of it, for fear that no one will make the cat's life better.

Minazuki Satsuki squatted on the beam, wondering how the eldest lady could live a life he couldn't imagine without doing anything. He thought to himself that the clan brother really didn't bully him, and this was really "a worldly thing".

One day, the eldest lady left the people who were following her.

This was her favorite thing to do. After throwing the person away, the girl hugged the cat and showed a rather contented look.

Such a simple thing requires a lot of effort. Shimizu Satoshi felt that the eldest lady's pride was simply unreasonable, not to mention that he hadn't been dumped yet.

If you are placed in the clan, you will be punished by running twenty laps in the forest.

"Hey, are you here?" The eldest lady suddenly asked to the air. While he was still wondering who the eldest lady was talking to, the girl added, "The ninja who picked up Nyanosuke?"

It's calling him.

Considering it was his employer's request, he jumped off the wall and asked her: "What do you want?"

The girl's round eyes widened in surprise. She raised her head to look at the height of the low wall, and then looked at the ninja in front of her. She could hardly speak.

"Ahem, you ninjas have been to many places, right?" The girl came back to her senses.

She also asked the other two ninjas about this, but the other ninjas tried to smooth things over and did not answer her directly.

Minazuki Satoshi suffered a disadvantage in terms of age and experience. He answered honestly: "I haven't been to too many places. It usually depends on where the mission is."

From this day on, the boundaries between employers and ninjas were subtly broken.

The eldest lady is no longer just the employer of the eldest lady and ninjas. The girl named Haruka Qingshui has her own worries.

For example, why so many people follow her wherever she goes, how plants grow from seeds to blossom and bear fruit step by step, why she is not allowed to farm, and what kind of world is outside Qingshui House.

Ninjas are no longer mere ninjas, they have become the unique Minazuki among countless ninjas with the surname Minazuki.

He will share with his employer the places he has been, he will answer all questions except the confidential parts, and he will remind his employer not to run too fast and fall down when looking for cats.

One day his employer suddenly asked him: "Mizunazuki-kun, are we friends?"

In the education young ninjas receive, there are no "friends", only clansmen and enemies, ninjas and employers.

For his employer, as a ninja, he should be a useful sword, so he answered honestly: "You are my employer."

Qingshui Yao was so angry that he didn't talk to him for a whole week.

Qingshui Haruka came to him again the next week, took out a few books and argued with him whether the relationship between them was purely a money transaction or a friendship.

Qingshui Yao didn't speak very coherently, and he didn't understand it very well, but in the end he compromised: "Then we are friends."

He didn't even realize he was laughing when he said this.

Qingshui Haruka showed a very satisfied expression, just like the expression on her raised Nyanosuke's face when he found a comfortable position to sleep.

Something seemed to have changed between the employer and the ninja who had become friends, and yet nothing seemed to have changed.

One day, Qingshui Haruka generously shared with him the cakes sent by Qingshui Ren.

He pinched a small ball of off-white pastry uncomfortably. Qingshui Haruka stood aside and made a gesture of letting out the wind, paying attention to whether anyone noticed that they were here, although this move was meaningless to Satoshi Minazuki.

The pastry has a dry and glutinous texture in the mouth, which is very rare in the humid water country. If it weren't for Qingshui Haruka, it would be difficult for him to eat it.

Because it was a very precious snack, he ate a little slowly. Qingshui Yao's eyes that were looking around gradually began to glance at his face, forcing him to stop eating as soon as possible to relieve the strange feeling of being watched for a long time.

"Is there something on my face?" Minazuki Cong asked.

Qingshui Yao's expression was very strange, like deep confusion, curiosity, confusion or sympathy.

She shook her head and suddenly asked: "If you weren't a ninja, what would Minazuki-kun want to do?"

Minazuki Satoshi was stunned by this question.

——Don’t be a ninja.

Such an idea had never entered his mind.

But as soon as he started imagining, his usually empty mind seemed to be flooded by a bursting river, and countless possibilities poured out overwhelmingly.

For example, becoming a pastry chef who can make the pastries just now, such as going to a prosperous town to sell things as profitable as possible, such as becoming a doctor to treat people's injuries, such as going to the Kingdom of Wind to sell shaved ice...

As a qualified ninja, he didn't understand why he had so many ridiculous ideas.

He was born to be a ninja, he was meant to be a ninja.

His expression affected Qingshui Haruka, and the girl called him uneasily. Qingshui Cong came back to his senses and for the first time he expressed panic to the girl: "I can't think of it."

Qing Shui Yao showed a somewhat discouraged expression, and then whispered her own dream: "If my surname was not Qing Shui, I would like to farm outside the city."

"I want to be closer to my parents, so I am just outside the city. I may be a little poor and tired, but it doesn't matter. I want to grow a lot of wheat and beautiful flowers."

"When the wheat matures, some of it will be given to dad, so that he doesn't have to complain about the always-high price of food. I'll keep some of it for myself, and give some to you so that you don't have to work hard for the reward, and then share the rest with you." People who can’t afford food.”

Minazuki Satoshi starts from reality: "The land of water is not suitable for growing wheat, and you may not be able to afford food."

Qingshui Yao ran away angrily, forgetting to take the cat with him.

Minazuki Satoshi grew up in the Qingshui family as Qingshui Haruka's guard.

Qingshui Yao has made an engagement with a well-matched nobleman and will get married soon. Although Qing Shuiyuan, who had not given up farming outside the city, was dissatisfied, he still accepted the family's arrangement.

Minazuki Satoshi's mission has finally come to an end. When Haruka Shimizu gets married, he can end this multi-year mission.

Minazuki Satoshi rarely had the flexibility to decide to prepare a wedding gift and parting gift for his good friend.

Just when he was thinking about what gift to give, Haruka Shimizu's father, Jin Shimizu, rebelled and killed the daimyo while accompanying him on a trip to the Land of Water.

The situation in the Kingdom of Water suddenly became chaotic, and Haruka Qingshui's engagement was terminated by the angry engagement party because of her father's behavior.

Qingmizu Jin suddenly became a public enemy of the whole world and was punished by all the nobles.

After careful consideration, the Minazuki clan was unwilling to accept war employment from the Qingshui family.

——Almost all the shinobi who were born in the Land of Water rejected the Shimizu family.

They all knew the consequences of offending all the nobles.

In the end, the Shimizu family hired the Hyuga ninja clan, whose main activities were in the Land of Fire.

In addition to war employment, the security tasks related to the Shimizu family were also transferred to the Hyuga clan. After the handover between the two clans was completed, Qingshui Ren was betrayed and poisoned by his subordinates, and died in his sleep.

When he learned the news, Minazuki Satoshi was on his way home with his clan brother.

The clan brother was complaining about the unreasonableness of his former employer's family. Those people were very easy to use to make ice with the Blood Succession Limit.

"Shimizu Jin is dead...what will happen to the remaining members of his family?" Minazuki Satoshi thought of his employer who had been with him for many years and couldn't help but ask his clan brother.

The clan brother said that they were usually executed directly.

"...A Cong, your expression? Don't worry too much about them." Brother Cong noticed Shui Wuyue Cong's absent-minded expression and comforted him, "Their family has nothing to do with us anymore. This is the first time this has happened to you. , the employer will have nothing to do with us after the mission is over, and we will get used to it in the future.”

"This is also a required course for ninjas."

——If you were not a ninja, what would Minazuki-kun want to do?

Qing Shuiyuan's face flashed with curiosity.

He thought of the girl who wanted to farm the fields and didn't want to be a eldest lady. He thought of the girl who said she would give him a share of the harvest and refused to let him do the hard work. He thought of the girl holding a cat and sitting on the edge to enjoy the cool air. The girl who told him about her friends and their relationship suddenly couldn't move on.

He is not a qualified ninja.

He didn't want to be a ninja.

The world is so big and a person has the possibility to become all kinds of people. Why must he only become a ninja just because his surname is Minazuki.

He wants to be someone else, whether it is a philistine businessman, a hard-working farmer, or a craftsman specializing in a certain craft, why does he have to become a ninja? Why had no one ever asked him if he wanted to be a ninja?

The only friend who ever asked him who he wanted to be was dying, so he broke ninja rules and turned back to save people.

Boss A Cong’s story came to an abrupt end.

Needless to say, you can guess that what happened next was probably not good.

After all, boss A Cong's current name is Qing Shui Cong.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." Boss A Cong looked outside the cell. After a while, you heard the footsteps of someone walking this way.

The two detectives took the keys and opened the door to Boss A Cong's side, and took Boss A Cong out.

It was only then that you saw clearly that boss A Cong, who had been curled up in the shadow, was tied with ropes and covered with spells of unknown meaning. There were also chains hanging from his feet, making a clattering sound when he walked.

Boss A Cong's face is also different from usual. It can be seen that the facial features are somewhat similar to before. His face is pale and thin, showing a cold indifference, and has lost the kindness that he originally showed when he was a little plump.

The three people walked farther and farther in the dark corridor, and you suddenly had a terrible suspicion.

Boss A Cong told you all these things, is he determined to die?

Who did Boss A Cong offend?
