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

Masakazu Tachibana brought a box to the daimyo, knelt down and saluted, then opened the box and revealed the contents.

(Because Zhenghe is still white, he has to pay a big courtesy)

"This object is called porcelain and is specially presented to Your Majesty."

The daimyo waved his hand and asked the waiters on the side to carry the box up.

After taking a look at the porcelain in the box, the daimyo was overjoyed.

I praise Tachibana Zhiping for having a successor.

He reached out and took out a wine glass from the box, caressing it fondly, and then ordered the caterer to remove the dishes, rearrange them with porcelain tableware, and serve them again.

The officials sitting below stared at the wine glasses placed in front of the daimyo table.

This cup is as smooth as jade and seems to be emitting a faint moonlight.

The material looks like jade but not jade, and it looks even more wine-like in the candlelight.

What a nice view!

By chance, the maid had already replaced the wine jug with a porcelain one. The daimyo took a satisfied sip of the wine in the glass and motioned for the maid to come and pour the wine.

The graceful maid held the pot in her bare hands. The delicate surface made the maid's white fingers look rough.

When the dishes were served on porcelain plates of different sizes and delivered to the daimyo, the dense heat made the eyes of the civil and military officials turn red.

Civil and military officials: I want it!

At the same time, my heart was bleeding.

Look, look!

Just for this set, just for serving the dishes, there should be plates of different sizes, large dishes for big dishes, small plates for side dishes, and medium plates for mixed dishes.

The dipping sauce also comes with a small plate.

If it could hold a house full of gold, it would really be a house full of gold and jade.

Not to mention there are unused bowls, divided into rice bowls, noodle bowls, and soup bowls.

Not to mention cups, big cups, small cups, wine glasses, tea cups.

A cup must be paired with a pot, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to have a circle of porcelain cups there with a rough clay pot in the middle.

You can't just have one set. If you accidentally break one of them and repair a ceramic utensil, you may be ridiculed by others for the dilapidation of your home.

But this porcelain thing is really beautiful! They look really good together!

Even the craftsmanship of Dashi Zhi, who was tired of seeing and eating in the past, seemed so different.

Some officials with good literary talents raised their glasses and recited poems on the spot. They first praised the luxury of the banquet and had never seen such fine utensils. Let me once again preach about the achievements of the daimyo last year, caring about the world and loving the people.

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire enjoyed the envious gazes of his ministers. Before the banquet was over, he summoned Tachibana Sakamoto and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to serve under Shihei Tachibana.

…

After the Spring Hunting Banquet, Tachibana Zhipei always receives secret letters from his colleagues.

It's nothing more than asking, where did you get this thing?

Can you think of a way to get one for them?

Some smart people thought about Tachibana Masakazu's background and had already taken the first step to get to know Uchiha.

As for Uchiha, he did not open a store in the capital with the same fanfare as he did for other products. Instead, he occupied the cave where the Nine Lamas lived before, sent people to guard the porcelain clay there, and opened a kiln on the spot.

Only those who can find them can buy porcelain from them.

This style of not publicizing it to the outside world and focusing solely on craftsmanship made nobles flock to it even more.

This is the true spirit of craftsmanship!

Ever since Uchiha Tajima made it clear on his last birthday that he would let Anjuro go out with the clan's caravan for training, Anjuro had been looking forward to this day coming soon.

Seeing it in amusement, Tajima deliberately did not tell Anjuro about the follow-up arrangements, but settled everything, and also wrote a letter to Kadono's eldest son by the way.

"Anjuro."

"Uncle grandpa!"

Can I go out?

Anjuro's big eyes flickered, and the words in them made Tajima's conscience ache.

Tajima even wondered if Anjuro had opened his eyes.

"Madara wrote you a letter, do you want to read it?"

"want!"

In the letter, Uchiha Madara briefly mentioned that he recently played with the Two-Tails in the Land of Thunder and met the Eight-Tails, but the Eight-Tails didn't look good, so he didn't challenge him.

This part only occupies a small half of a page of letter paper. The next three pages of letter paper are all about precautions when going out.

Including but not limited to, what clothes and shoes to wear in which country and region, what weapons and food to prepare, how much money to bring, the money must be converted into copper coins before it can be spent, and when entering the country of water and encountering water in the stalls, you must first let your companions know The clansman used some weird tricks like fire escape.

Anjuro happily wrote down the items one by one, and also got a glimpse of some of the strange situations Uncle Madara himself encountered outside.

For example, if you blow fire into a puddle to escape, Uncle Ban must have met someone from the Ghost Deng family on the way.

Tajima asked, "Why are you laughing all the time? Did Madara say something embarrassing about the Nine Lamas in the letter again?"

To be honest, Tajima couldn't figure out whether the relationship between the tailed beasts was good or bad. The letters Madara sent back before always contained information about which tailed beast Kurama was fighting with.

Xingshourou put the letter away solemnly, "No, uncle, Uncle Madara is telling me some tips on going out."

This is a reflection of his family's love for him.

However, Anjuro recalled the scene when his uncle went out to do a mission for the first time when he was a child, and he always felt that if he went out, he would probably encounter Uncle Madara who passed by forcibly on the road.

"Oh," Tajima stood up to leave. When he was about to walk out of the door, he pretended to be casual and said,

"You will set off with Qing and the others in a week."

！ ！ ！ ！

"Great!!!!"

...

The next day, the friends who got the news blocked the door of the clan leader's house,

"Kyojuro! You are going out to do a mission! Go wherever you want!"

Uchiha Jin is going to the capital with his mother

"To the Land of Lightning."

"I want to go too! Why can't I go with you!"

Uchiha Xue received the mission to go to Ishikawa Castle.

"I want beautiful souvenirs!"

"I want next year..."

Uchiha You is a few months younger than them, and is simply considered a year younger child by the clan

"Kyojuro, remember to miss us!"

"Are there any specialties in the Land of Lightning?"

They talked a lot, envious of Kyojuro for being able to leave the clan and become an adult, and wanted to go with Kyojuro.

In the end, they stayed at the clan leader's house for lunch, and squeezed together with Kyojuro to take a nap before leaving.

Hao Yi joked, "Well, my son is really popular. He will definitely not have to worry about finding a wife in the future."

——————

A week later, everyone set out from Uchiha.

Although the current Uchiha no longer accepts missions, they still have to take their children out to broaden their horizons. Fortunately, there are many caravans in the tribe, and each team only has one child.

The leaders are all three magatama and mangekyo masters who have retired from the battlefield before. Although they may encounter twists and turns, they will never worry about their lives.

Kyojuro followed the caravan led by Uchiha Qing.

The first mission that Izuna did was also led by Uchiha Qing, but before, he was a guard for others, and now he is guarding Uchiha's own things.

This time they went to the Land of Lightning,

in order to send the Sixth Elder what he needs, they don't know what it is. The things were packed by the people in the agricultural department and Grandma Keiko, and when they were handed over to them, there was only a large scroll.

In addition, there are regular pea flour and corn grits, and Mrs. Mikiko's cabbage and corn soup recipe must be delivered to the Uchiha in the Land of Lightning.

When Kyojuro arrives there, he may need to summon a few special plants.

When he just left the clan, Kyojuro was quite excited. After all, he has been in this world for six years. Except for the time when he was taken to Grandma Cat's house by his uncle, he has never left the clan.

The time to the cave of Kurama does not count, after all, it has been circled by Uchiha as his own territory.

There are several carriages in the caravan, and the speed of travel is not slow. Kyojuro looked around curiously for the whole morning.

Qing teased him, "Aren't you tired of watching it for a whole morning?"

"No!"

It was the spring plowing season, and Kyojuro saw hardworking farmers everywhere, full of vitality. He would never get tired of this scene no matter when.

At noon, everyone found a place with water to rest. There was also a small shed and stove built by Uchiha before.

"After all, this road is a common one, and the tribe has figured out which places are suitable for rest."

Other caravans can rest here, but they must clean up before leaving.

The Uchiha people skillfully made a fire and cooked. The lunch with a picnic feeling made Kyojuro once again feel the attentiveness and strength of the tribe.

Even such a place can be considered. Anyone who has used this place will be grateful to the Uchiha.

…

On the fourth day after leaving the tribe, they officially left the scope of the village and entered the wilderness.

Before, they could pass by cultivated fields, but after that, they could only see weeds.

"We are almost at the border, be careful!"

Uchiha Qing reminded the team members and began to teach Kyojuro,

"There are only grass and shorter shrubs on the land here, which means that this should have been a village before, and the land was also cultivated, but it was abandoned because of the war."

Even though the country has been much more peaceful in recent years, the scattered villagers have not returned. It is estimated that they all stayed in the local area to continue to reproduce.

Kyojuro sighed, which made Uchiha Ao laugh.

"You are so young, why are you sighing like an old man?"

Kyojuro felt a little blocked in his heart. It should be because he was sighing for the abandoned village, or maybe there was something else, but he himself couldn't figure it out.

"It would be great if they could be like the clan."

The big Uchiha driving next to him also laughed.

"Kyojuro, little guy, you think too simply. Not to mention being as good as the Uchiha, even the village we passed by yesterday is considered to be relatively good in the country. When you go abroad, there are more like today."

"Why?"

Kyojuro really didn't understand. Their Rengoku has always been a retainer of the Ubuyashiki clan, and has always been focused on slaying demons. Even though they know that the domestic regime changes back and forth, they are not personally involved and do not have a deep understanding.

Not to mention his generation of Rengoku, the country has been peaceful for a long time, and he has long forgotten what war is.

(Daishō was after the Meiji Restoration. Since the Meiji Restoration, the Meiji Emperor of Japan organized the anti-shogunate forces to defeat the Tokugawa Shogunate and established a unified centralized country, which removed obstacles for the development of capitalism. The Japanese mainland as a whole entered a period of peaceful development, and the war was directed outside the island. By the time Kyojuro was born, the Japanese mainland had been peaceful for nearly 40 years.)

Uchiha Qing's tone was full of pride, "Because the Uchiha is strong, only the strong can control their own destiny."

After he glanced at Xingjulang's blank eyes, he changed his explanation,

"Because our clan can fight, no one will dare to invade our clan territory, so the clan territory can develop with peace of mind. If we were weaker, we would be forced to wander around."

"Understood?"

Xingjulang frowned, "Maybe?"

"Hahaha, it's okay if you don't understand. You're still young." Uchiha Ao patted Anjurou's head and changed the subject.

"We'll soon enter the Country of Fields. There aren't as many trees there as at home, but there is a special kind of straw weaving craft. Maybe you can encounter it later."

…

Not long after, several people crossed the border and entered the Kingdom of Tian.

As soon as he entered, Anjuro was keenly aware of the difference between the Kingdom of Fields and the Kingdom of Fire. There were low hills within his sight. Although there were trees, they were not as tall as the trees in the Kingdom of Fire. The woods on the roadside were sparse, and there seemed to be a few figures passing by.

Anjuro quickly told Uchiha Ao that he had found someone. Before Uchiha Ao could say anything, the Uchiha who was driving the car made a strange sound,

"Little guy, you have good observation skills."

Uchiha Ao said comfortingly, "Relax, it's okay, we are all acquaintances."

As soon as he finished speaking, the caravan was stopped.

The man holding the machete got closer and saw the Uchiha family crest engraved on the frame of the bicycle, as well as the pairs of scarlet Sharingan eyes in the team. He bowed with a smile and waved to signal the people around him to disperse.

Uchiha Ao didn't get out of the car. He reached out and took out a money bag from his arms, and asked the tribesmen to unload a bag of pea powder from the frame of the car and threw them to the other party.

The person who had collected the things stood there and waved to the caravan. Xing Julang looked back and saw that they still seemed to be smiling.

"Uncle Qing, what were those just now?"

Uchiha, who was driving the car, threatened, "They are robbers who are robbing people on the road. Are you afraid of Anjuro?"

Xingjuro shook his head, "I'm not afraid! But why?"

Is this the first time I’ve seen Xingjuro be so polite? The robbers he met in the previous life all consciously let him go as soon as they saw the knife in his hand and the aura of a practicing master.

But they won't let the caravan go.

"Why do you give money and food? This can be regarded as convenient for all walks of life. They didn't stop us, so we have to let them earn some money. After all, they usually maintain this road."

Uchiha who was on his way interrupted,

"I mean Brother Qing, Xingjulang is asking why they let us go so easily. Of course it's because they can't beat us,"

He tilted his head and showed his Sharingan,

"There are only a dozen pairs of Sharingan in our team, and the Senjus don't dare to fight us head-on. They are just ordinary people with some strength, and of course they don't dare."
