Kyojuro, the life of a Hokage since the age of one

Now that he had the idea of ​​recruiting a disciple, the Sixth Elder also started taking action of his own.

The action is roughly divided into two steps.

The first step is to find out about other potential competitors who may compete with you for apprentices and eliminate them as much as possible.

The second step is to figure out how to abduct the child to your side.

Uchiha Hirohiko first wrote out the names of the other five elders and clan leaders who were qualified to compete with him on the ground, and then crossed them out one by one.

"Su, rule it out. She is optimistic about Koizumi Nana. Tajima can also be ruled out. The next clan leader will undoubtedly be Madara. Fukutaro has an apprentice, and his eldest son also works in the weapons department."

Uchiha Kaede, the son of Third Elder Fukutaro and Keiko, just got married this year. His wife is the granddaughter of First Elder Akira. Boyan is very optimistic about his nephew.

"Mrs. Senhiru's position is not easy to hand over, and there is currently no child in the clan who can be recognized by her."

Mrs. Senhiro has a unique advantage. She and the mother of the current Daimyo of the Land of Thunder are twin sisters. It is much easier to say and do anything than others.

"The position of the great elder will probably be passed directly to his grandson Gong. After all, that boy is extremely talented in sealing techniques."

Uchiha Hirohiko thought about it and said, "The clan is now qualified and has the idea to compete with me as a disciple. That means it is new..."

"That's not good. Xingjurou and Xin met earlier, and he always goes to the medicine hall."

Gotta explore new attitudes.

Just do what he said, Uchiha Hirohiko dug out a small jar of peach wine he brewed from home.

Feeling distressed!

Wine is a very precious thing in this era. He only has the opportunity to make wine by himself because he has a peach tree at home, and he can only produce up to three jars a year.

Every year, he would only take it out to have a drink with his family on his sister's birthday and Chinese New Year.

…

"Why are you asking this? Do you want to accept Xingshou Lang as your apprentice? You are really willing to spend a lot of money. I remember that my uncle asked you for a long time and you didn't give it."

Boyan felt as if his eyes were dazzled, and the wine jar that was originally in his hand was now in his new arms.

"Hey, who wants to give him good things?"

"I definitely want to recruit Xingjulang. He is very talented and the most important thing is that he is very friendly. When communicating with ordinary people in the future, at least they will not be afraid of him."

A large part of Uchiha Hirohiko's job is to deal with the farmers near the clan area. Those timid ordinary people are scared to death when they see ninjas. If he doesn't have the talent of being able to make people feel close to him at a glance, it is You can't do this.

His master chose him to take over because he was the only one "like a sheep among wolves."

He looked into Uchiha's new eyes and asked, "You really don't accept him?"

Uchiha Xin put away the smile he always wore and sighed,

"It's not that I don't want to accept it, it's just that it's useless if I accept it."

"Anjuro's chakra does not meet the requirements of a medical ninja."

"Ah...is it because of the delicate operation?"

He had also heard about the special characteristics of Anjojuro's chakra, but it was too large to be used.

It is said that the child has not been able to successfully release a spark of fire until now.

Uchiha Hirohiko was still a little unwilling to give up, "That's... ah!"

That's a thousand hands! Everyone in the Senju family knows medical ninjutsu.

"Yes, I will not give the doll to you if I can help it."

Uchiha Xin placed the wine jar carefully in the dobo and continued, "If Anjuro can really become your disciple, it would be a good way out."

After all, Hirohiko and the department he leads don't need to participate in battles very much. Even if they encounter conflicts, the enemies are just ordinary people with some strength, such as bandits and bandits. Even if Anjuro can't use fire escape in his life, he can still do it.

——————

After Uchiha Hirohiko eliminated all competitors for himself openly and secretly, the time came to April.

He prepared the dried sweet potatoes that children like to eat, and in the name of getting the walnuts (nut wall) that had been agreed upon earlier, he successfully abducted Xingjulang, who had just come out of the medicine hall, back to his yard.

Anjuro first summoned eight walnuts (nut walls), and then watched curiously as Boyan took the kunai and poked the cracks on the top of the walnuts (nut walls) one by one.

"Grandpa Boyan, what do you want with so many walnuts?"

Boyan spent a lot of effort and finally knocked off a piece of the top part of the shell of all the walnuts, exposing a little of the walnut kernel inside.

At this time, I miss the hammer in the third elder's hand.

"Xingjuro learned how to grow cherries last time. Do you want to learn how to grow walnuts?"

Anjuro was a little curious. He discovered that the Sixth Elder especially liked to try to plant the plants he summoned into the ground, and sincerely hoped that they would take root in the land.

"Can this kind of walnut be grown?"

"Yes, your talent is not just about using plants with special abilities."

Uchiha Hirohiko's gentle voice suddenly became firm,

“Don’t rely too much on your gifts.”

After saying this, he summoned several clones and asked the clones to water the opened walnuts, while he and Xing Julang sat on the verandah to drink tea, eat fruit and chat.

"Does Anjuro know our family's talent?"

"I know, it's the Sharingan."

Anjuro was shocked when he saw the Sharingan for the first time. After all, this special eye related to numbers meant the Twelve Ghost Moons in his previous life.

"The Sharingan is very strong, but the Sharingan is not everything."

"The Uchiha bloodline just gives you a key. As for what kind of door you can open, it depends on how far you can walk."

Xingjulang thought thoughtfully, "Are my plants like this too?"

"You're so smart. Come on, try this dried sweet potato."

After passing a piece of dried sweet potato to Anjuro, Boyan continued,

"Whether a person is truly strong or not does not depend on his bloodline, but on..."

"The fire within me!"

Anjuro answered.

The breath of fire burned the never-extinguishing flame in his heart.

"It would be great if the little Uchiha in our clan had your character."

Is this the freedom and ease brought by the half of the Thousand Hands?

Boyan suddenly felt unyielding and unyielding. Uchiha was the symbol of spirituality!

"If one day, Anjuro can no longer summon plants, don't panic. I'm here, just go find new power and work hard."

Xingjulang stared at Boyan's smiling face, and suddenly understood why the clan chose to let Grandpa Boyan interact with ordinary people.

Like the earth, he always silently supports everyone's feet.

Is this the beauty and importance of logistics?

Anjuro didn't know, but he wanted to be someone who brought warmth and support to his friends and family.

Even though his force level is low, he still wants to protect his family.

So he said, "Grandpa Boyan, I want to be your apprentice."

Uchiha Hirohiko was stunned for a moment. Anjuro actually said "I think". He was indeed Uchiha's child!

"Okay! I will accept you as my apprentice!"

"Thank you Grandpa Boyan!"

"Call Master."

"Yes! Master!"

…

After Anjuro returned home and told his family about his apprenticeship,

Everyone was happy for him, because Anjuro found the direction he was interested in and was progressing smoothly.

While happy, Senna began to calculate the seniority between him and Anjurou.

"I want to call the Sixth Elder Grandpa. The Sixth Elder is Mrs. Huizi's younger brother. Brother Hao Yi is the apprentice of the Third Elder. I want to call Mrs. Keizi my master's wife. Originally, Xing Julang followed Brother Hao Yi and wanted to call the Sixth Elder Grandpa..."

"After becoming a disciple, Xingshoulang changed his name to master, but I still want to call him Grandpa Sixth Elder..."

"Now Anjuro is older than me!?"

Xingjulang was already dizzy. He couldn't figure out why he just became a disciple and became his uncle's uncle.

"How can you think so? Xingjulang is still your eldest nephew. For the rest, you can just follow my call."

Tajima silently gave his silly son a brain-destroying blow, stopping his thinking from gradually slipping into the abyss.

Quan Na rubbed his aching forehead and mentioned another thing.

His original expectation was that he would take over the intelligence department, Anjuro would take over the medicine hall, and the two of them would assist Madara.

Now that Xingjulang has gone to the agricultural department, who will take over the medicine hall?

Tajima quickly dismissed Senna's random thoughts.

Silly son, the fifth elder is not dead yet, how about you help him distribute his inheritance?

"The new elder is still young, so don't worry, so don't worry."

"Oh," Quan Na always felt that his old father was calling him stupid again. He looked at Anjuro and asked,

"Did the Sixth Elder tell you, what does he want to teach you?"

Anjuro swallowed the yokan in his mouth and said,

"Master taught me to grow walnuts!"

Tajima's mood was a bit complicated, although rationally he knew that the Sixth Elder wanted to realize the cultivation of special plants, which was a great thing for Uchiha.

But I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. Although, although it is to prevent problems in the bud, the Sixth Elder must also have the thought in his heart that 'in case Xingshou Lang dies one day, these goods in the clan cannot be cut off'.

Xingjulang is still young now, so the probability of accidents in the clan's territory can be said to be minimized, but he always has to go out to practice, and he may encounter bad situations.

Sad.

Hao Yi didn't think so deeply, he thought of another thing,

The Sixth Elder has five pea seeds that have grown into pea seedlings, eight walnuts that are about to be transplanted, and two pots of cherry saplings that need to be transplanted in his yard.

He reminded Tajima, "Second uncle, do we still need to grant a piece of land to Uncle Boyan?"

"Yes, you reminded me, his home is... the grove outside the training ground to the west is right next to his home," Tajima thought about the map of the current clan land and surrounding areas,

"Xingjuro, tell your master when you go tomorrow that your things can be planted in that grove."

"good!"

…

After officially becoming a disciple, Anjuro moved the two pots of cherry saplings he planted to the yard of the sixth elder's house. After a certain period of time, they could be transplanted to the nearby grove that Tajima had just granted them.

It is said to be a small forest, but in fact it is mostly filled with low shrubs. The Sixth Elder and his men first cut down all the bushes, and then made a fire break. Once the fire escaped, a piece of land was cleared in the forest.

The next step is to use tools such as hoes to plow the land to make it softer.

It had been 40 days since Xingjulang's small cherry saplings were planted. I don't know if it was due to the variety, but they grew particularly strong. The Sixth Elder decided to make them the first plants to be planted on this land.

Anjuro still refused to let anyone interfere. He was really worried that the sapling would explode suddenly like the [Cherry Bomb] during the movement.

It was the Sixth Elder who said he could use his clones to help, so he agreed.

With the help of the Sixth Elder's clone, he first broke the flowerpot, keeping the roots of the entire sapling intact, and then moved it to the deep pit that had been dug. The depth of the pit also had requirements, it could not be too shallow or too deep. .

Anjuro, who had no idea how his master determined the depth of the pit, once again determined his determination to study hard.

After the roots of the sapling were buried in the soil, Xingjulang took the kettle and carefully poured water around the sapling.

"Well done!"

It felt great to plant plants with my own hands for the first time. Xingjulang stared at Boyan with bright eyes, as if to say,

‘I still want to play! ’

Kira~

The Sixth Elder, who had witnessed Anjurou's unique super-invincible shining smile attack for the first time, was hit without any resistance. Even the other Uchiha who came to help closed their eyes in the flash of light.

Okay, okay, have fun.

Boyan pulled Xingjulang and turned his head to avoid the flash attack, "Let's go! Let's go see walnuts!"

The walnuts that had been sprinkled with water a few days ago had already sprouted. Anjuro was held by Boyan and looked inside from the top of the walnut (nut wall).

A tender green pointed bud is protected by two pieces of nuts in the middle.

He asked, "Master, do walnuts also need to be planted in flower pots first?"

Boyan put Xingjulang on the ground and stood up, shaking his head, "No, once the walnuts sprout, they can be planted directly in the ground."

"But before that, we need to help the young shoots inside break the hard shell a little bit."

Bang bang bang——

I don’t know whether it was because of the watering, or because a crack had been cracked on the top of the walnut. When the shell was knocked again, the hardness of the shell dropped significantly.

Then, the Sixth Elder directed his subordinates to plant eight walnuts at regular intervals into the newly reclaimed land.

Xingshou Lang shuttled around the tribesmen, wiping their sweat and handing them water in a timely manner.

The Sixth Elder was sitting on the tree stump, a little bit amused. "This kind of thing is not difficult. Why do you need Xingjulang to take care of you like this?"

Then he was soothed by the honey walnut cake Xing Julang specially brought for him.

"Master, thank you for your hard work! Without you, we wouldn't know how to continue planting!"

The Sixth Elder reluctantly suppressed the slightly raised corners of his mouth and took a bite of the walnut cake sent by his young apprentice.

Huh, it's quite delicious.
