On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto

When the sun set in the west, Tajima and his companions said goodbye to the cat lady. If they didn't leave now, they would have to sleep in the wild that night.

Mei and the other kittens reluctantly said goodbye to Kyojuro, and made an appointment to meet again next time.

"Is our Kyojuro so popular?"

After spending an afternoon hanging out with a group of adult ninja cats, Izumi was only favored by a silver-gray ninja cat. She was shocked by the charm of her eldest nephew.

"Uncle, which one is your partner?"

Kyojuro was also very curious about which summoning beast Izuna would choose in the end. He spent an entire afternoon listening to gossip about cats and ninjas among the cats.

Speaking of her summoning beast, Izuna smiled proudly, "Its name is Tsukasa, it's the most beautiful cat in the entire ninja cat group, it has emerald green eyes, it's simply the princess among cats."

"It is also very powerful, with wind attributes, very fast, and very smart. It learned from the second elder's thunder."

Tajima nodded, "Izuna, do you want to study with the Second Elder? You have passed the basic courses in clan studies. Have you made up your mind?"

The second elder, Uchiha Su, is in charge of the intelligence lines of the Uchiha clan. If Izuna is impressed by Tsukasa's ability in transmitting intelligence, it seems that he has already thought about the future route he will take.

"Yes, father. I gained some knowledge after my last trip. I am also quite interested in these things, so..."

Izunai moved closer to her old father, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Got it. I will discuss it with the Second Elder."

Tiandao thought quickly in his mind. There have been no large-scale battles recently, and there are only daily intelligence gathering work. It is a good opportunity to let those people in the intelligence department take care of the children of the tribe.

“Father is the best!!”

Izumi Nakata fulfilled his wish and jumped a few times with joy. In this way, Madara would be in charge of external combat and he would take over the intelligence. Judging from his father's recent actions, it seemed that he was training Kyojuro to be a medical ninja.

The three of them will definitely become the glory of Uchiha!

------

It turns out that the Uchiha's honor also requires going to school.

Kyojuro watched Izuna leave the house after breakfast and asked, "Does my uncle still need to do the mission?"

Madara answered as he tied his leggings, "No, I'm going to the clan school. Kyojuro will go there too in the future."

"But yesterday, Uncle Grandpa said that my uncle had passed all the basic courses."

"So he's going to take advanced courses now. Well, I have to go out too. Kyojuro, wait for a while. Father will take you to the pharmacy."

"Not going today."

"You're not going today? Then why are you going today?"

"Go find the Second Elder with Uncle Grandpa."

Hearing this, Madara's unnatural eyes wandered for a moment. Kyojuro was still a child, so the second elder shouldn't be that... right?

Kyojuro was a little confused.

……

Wow!

The second elder is a super super super...beautiful lady!

I don't know how to describe Kyojuro. In short, he looks like a princess who grew up in a pile of gold and silver, but he is also very gentle. He is a bit like the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps when dealing with people, but there is a hint of mystery about him that is hard to explain.

Although time has left its marks on her body, it has not diminished her beauty at all, but has made her more charming.

The second elder smiled and nodded towards Tajima, indicating that he would take good care of Kyojuro.

"Chief, don't you have any clan affairs to deal with?"

"...What about my youngest son?"

'I have already found a candidate.'

"Then I'm leaving. Don't let Kyojuro see anything weird."

"Hurry up, hurry up, remember to bring Big Baby's lunch. Forget it, just give me the recipe and I'll have someone make it."

……

When Kyojuro turned around to ask Tajima how he should address the lady in front of him, he found that Tajima had already left.

?

Is Uncle so busy today?

Kyojuro could only bow respectfully, "Hello, Second Elder."

Before he could straighten up, Uchiha Su hugged him in his arms.

Ahhhh! Such a three-headed little dumpling bows like a little adult! So cute! ! ! !

It's even cuter than the long-tailed tit I raise!

How come Uchiha Arata never said that Kyojuro was such a cute and pretty little kid? All he does every day is say useless things, tsk.

The Second Elder, who always liked beautiful people, was instantly captured by Kyojuro, and his voice unconsciously became much softer.

"Kyojuro, what a nice name. Can I teach you how to write today?"

The sound frightened those passing by, those on guard, and the subordinates handling official business next door, and they all shuddered.

The people in the next room were so frightened that their Sharingan appeared. They exchanged glances.

"What's wrong with Sister Su? You scared me to death. The last time I heard her speak like this was when the mission of Fire Fang was about to end."

"Sister Su is obsessed with looks. You know that the little baby the clan leader sent today is probably another beauty."

"Are there any Uchiha who are not good-looking? I want to see how good-looking that kid is. Who's going with me?"

"…I don't have the guts to think about it."

"You are an intelligence officer, but you don't have any curiosity at all."

"You do, so why don't you go yourself?"

"That's not what I meant. I just respect Sujie's privacy."

"Tsk~"

Three seconds later, several people closed their Sharingan and continued to process the information at hand.

.........

"Okay, thank you, aunt."

After hearing the Second Elder's self-proclaimed title, Kyojuro obediently changed his title, which earned him a kiss from the beauty.

Kyojuro was kissed unexpectedly, and his face turned red.

When Uchiha Su saw this, he became even more excited and kissed her several more times.

Hehehe~ A little kid like Kyojuro deserves to be kissed by his aunt! (That kind of smile)

When Kyojuro realized how awkward he felt, he immediately changed his mindset.

He is just a child now, and it is normal for children to be kissed and hugged by their elders. He didn't feel awkward when being hugged by his uncles and grandfathers before. This time it was purely because Aunt Su was the first woman who was so intimate with him.

Well, even though Kanroji liked to act coquettishly with him when he was receiving training from him before, it was only verbal, and their physical contact only occurred during battles.

So… this was the first time he was held in the arms of a female elder since his mother (Ruka) passed away.

"Aunt, you still have to teach me how to read."

In order to save his own face, Kyojuro brought up the literacy that he had just mentioned.

"Okay~ Kyojuro, where do you want to start? How about we start with the Manyoshu~"

"it is good."

"Manyoshu" is a collection of Japanese waka poems, consisting of 20 volumes, which include about 4500 waka poems. Any noble who claims to have high status will quote poems from "Manyoshu" during conversation. In order to better communicate with these big customers, Uchiha also chose "Manyoshu" as the basic textbook.

When Uchiha Su took out the "Manyoshu", Kyojuro was a little surprised. It seemed that his family had a close connection with the nobles. Ordinary people would not deliberately choose this book as a teaching material for literacy.

Of course he had studied the "Manyoshu". After all, Purgatory was a family that had been passed down for more than 500 years, and the Demon Slayer Corps had been passed down for a thousand years. Even if he had not learned it, the Lord would not allow them, the pillars who needed to deal with evil spirit incidents in a region, to be illiterate.

Most of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps also study and learn calligraphy from their trainers, but there is a special one among the pillars who was actually forced to learn by the leader for three months (Tokito Muichiro).

Uchiha Su spread out the paper and said,

"Let's start with Haruka today. Kyojuro was also born in spring, right~"

"The rocks hang high above the water, the ferns grow thick and dense, spring is here."

As she recited, a poem was copied onto the prepared Japanese paper.

"Does Kyojuro know what this is talking about?"

Kyojuro's literary attainment... can only be said to be that he can understand it, but if you ask him to explain what is good about this waka poem, he won't be able to say it.

He considered his answer, "Are you talking about spring coming?"

"Mua~ Kyojuro is really clever. This poem is about the waterfall hanging down the mountain in spring and the new ferns sprouting. These tell us that spring is coming."

Uchiha Su didn't think it was strange that Kyojuro could understand the meaning of waka. In her opinion, Uchiha children should be so smart.

She pressed the small brush she had prepared into Kyojuro's hand and said, "Kyojuro, imitate my handwriting and write it down."

Literacy... should be about teaching children to write... right? It's definitely okay to say so.

Uchiha Su, who had never taught such a young child, didn't think his teaching arrangement was outrageous at all.

(To put it simply, this behavior is roughly equivalent to asking a child who has just grabbed a pen during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony to write a word. It is good enough for a normal child to be able to draw before the age of four. It takes four or five years to really learn to write stroke by stroke. But this is the world of ninjas, so it's okay to learn to write earlier!)

Kyojuro deliberately held the brush with his entire palm. He was a little hesitant, fearing that if he wrote too well it would easily alert the other party.

But seeing Uchiha Su's gentle and encouraging eyes, he still put down his pen.

At worst, he could just write it crookedly on purpose.

Then, looking at Kyojuro's masterpiece, Uchiha Su raised his hand to cover the corners of his mouth that were curled up crazily.

"Kyojuro, it's well written, cough."

Kyojuro also found it funny when he saw the black blob of ink on the paper.

Writing with a brush requires wrist strength. With a toddler's body that couldn't even hold a spoon a month ago, there's no need to worry about him being able to write well with a brush now.

Uchiha Su quickly removed the Japanese paper with Kyojuro's masterpiece written on it from the table, and realized that his arrangement was unreasonable. He then pointed to the Chinese characters in the "Manyoshu" and taught the child how to read them.

Later she asked someone to frame Kyojuro's work, hahahaha, and named it "Kyojuro's First Stroke", hahahaha, this child's handwriting is so interesting.

Let us congratulate Kyojuro for his dark history +1.

At noon, Uchiha Su looked at the recipe sent by Tajima and insisted on showing off his cooking skills to Kyojuro.

She can feed herself in the wild with her superb bird roasting skills, so how could a mere lunch for a child be a problem for her?

Every member of the intelligence department loved to join in the fun. From the moment they saw Uchiha So bringing Kyojuro over and preparing to wash their hands and cook, people in the kitchen kept going in and out. Word spread like wildfire, and the kitchen was packed to the brim. Because there were so many people, some of them even projected their consciousness onto their summoned beasts and squeezed in.

When Kyojuro looked up, he could see a row of cat- and bird-heads squatting on the beams.

Uchiha Su also knew the character of his subordinates and continued to study the recipes without any interference.

She flipped through the pages at random and happened to find the recipe for egg-flavored vegetable rice cakes provided by the fifth elder's daughter-in-law. (The recipe comes from A B's Jun Jun Food Diary)

"This is simple. Rice, eggs, chopped vegetables, and just salt."

Uchiha Su took out a kunai and instantly cut several vegetables collected from the kitchen into small pieces, then mixed everything together and stirred it into a paste.

Why is it so green? It doesn't matter, it must be the color of vegetables.

Then, fry it in a pan!

"It's much simpler than I thought, Kyojuro, wait for the delicious food~"

The few people who were operating Uchiha Su were seen squatting on the beams and muttering.

"Did Sister Su pour the oil?"

"No, have you washed the pot?"

"It seems not. The last dish was sweet and sour fish fillet."

…………Ah, this……

As expected, everyone’s concerns were met and the pot was burnt.

Looking at the black charcoal that had completely merged into the pot, Uchiha Su calmly...changed the pot.

"Kyojuro, children can't eat too many hard things. It's bad for their teeth."

She can make noodles! Soup noodles, just put the ingredients in and cook them, there's no problem with that!

“Is there any ready-made dough in the kitchen?”

Uchiha Su asked the chef who had been hesitant to speak beside her, and she happened to see scissors noodles in the recipe. For this, you don’t have to make the noodles yourself, you just need to cut them with scissors. It’s very simple.

The chef breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Second Elder did not think of starting the challenge by kneading the dough. He quickly took out a small ball of dough from the ice basin in the kitchen, kneaded it a few times, and after shaping it into a shape that was convenient for scissors, he put it in Uchiha Su's hand.

Uchiha Su boiled a pot of water and waited for the water to boil before using a pair of scissors to cut the dough into the pot little by little, and then added egg liquid and tomatoes.

"........."

"Scissor noodles... I remember they need to be sautéed in a wok? I think the tomatoes need to be fried too?"

"I don't know, I've never eaten it. Where have you seen it before?"

"The Country of Sichuan."

"There are no missions in River Country recently... Hey hey hey! The water is overflowing!"

Uchiha Su hurriedly turned off the fire and scooped out the noodles, and then... because the noodles were not stirred occasionally during the cooking process, all the noodles in the pot stuck together and formed a dough again.

"..."

Uchiha Su suffered a great defeat!

Twice! And it was such a simple thing!

She roasted the bird very deliciously! Shouldn't cooking be something that can be mastered in one way or another? ! !

Kyojuro patted the frustrated Second Elder gently, "Auntie, we can cut the dough in the pot with scissors. Auntie is already very good!"

Seeing Kyojuro's eyes wide open, sincerely comforting him, Uchiha Su instantly squatted down, held up Kyojuro's face, and said earnestly,

"Kyojuro! Don't be so kind!!! You can't eat what your aunt made! What if she dies!"

"Everyone above! Come down to me! If you can't get Kyojuro a meal within 20 minutes, you all must go to the pharmacy and sing love songs to the Fifth Elder."

That's too social!!!!

Several cats squatting on the beams stretched out their paws with distorted expressions, made a handprint, and immediately switched their original forms.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Even if I'm going to die socially, I can't let the people in the pharmacy watch the fun!
