Anbu Biography

"The expeditionary force is back!"

This sentence has been heard countless times in the past seven years, Qingyan is very skillful standing in the middle of the courtyard, waiting for the return of the expeditionary troops.

"Your Excellency, Jiushu greetings, I'm sorry it took so long to come back."

The leader, Mikazuki Munejin, bowed respectfully to Kiyohiko, then raised his head, and stared at Kakashi who was standing behind Kiyohiko with the beautiful eyes of Sanwa Moonscar: "So, Your Excellency, may I ask, Why is this guy still appearing in our Honmaru?"

"..."

This sentence was so eloquent that those swords in Honmaru who were already familiar with Kakashi were stunned for a while.

"Ahaha, am I so unpopular?"

Kakashi touched the back of his head and smiled: "I thought I got along well with everyone recently."

"Yes, crescent moon!"

Imaken bounced and said: "Mr. Kakashi has plowed a lot of land recently! The earth escape technique is really efficient!"

"That's right, and the fishing technique is also very good - not fried fish, but the kind with a fishing rod."

"Oh, that's right!"

Sankaiyue's expression suddenly changed, showing a spring breeze on her face: "That's really... just an accident just now, I was joking, please don't mind, Your Excellency Kakashi."

"……how could be."

In the end, Kakashi could only choke out such a sentence—he could probably understand what was going on with Mikazuki Munekin's sword-strike target. If Kiyohiko expressed welcome to himself, then this Honmaru needs another A guy with a nonchalant attitude to keep the balance.

They are a small group with Kiyohiko as the core, and as one of the representative ninjas of Konoha Village, as long as they appear here, it means surveillance and observation in a sense.Regardless of whether I have such intentions or not, as the only "out of place" outsider in this pill, it seems to be a matter of course to be treated specially.

This "specialness" includes enthusiasm and seriousness in treating guests, rejection and resistance to outsiders, and various complicated attitudes.

Once something unexpected happens, the attitude of these swordsmen will undoubtedly be on Kiyohiko's side, and I, for various reasons, can only put Muye Village first.

Naruto may not be able to tell the difference between the two. After all, most of the time, the ninjas of Muye Village and Muye Village belong to groups with related interests, but once there is a conflict of interest, different positions It will look very abrupt.

——Just like the Uchiha clan in the past, Kakashi thought suddenly.

They are a self-sufficient ethnic group living deep in the border of Konoha, like a box garden far away from the village, drifting away from the whole village.Even most people’s impressions of the Uchiha clan are only left with combat characteristics such as fire escape, superb shuriken and sharing eyes, but once it involves people’s livelihood, daily life and various parts close to life, The impression of "Uchiha Clan" has become an embarrassing blank.

The second-generation adults established the ninja school, but whether it was Itachi or Sasuke, or Kakashi himself in his short school days, the guy with the surname "Uchiha" was the focus of all the stars.

——This also contributed to the gap between the village and the Uchiha clan.

But... if it was Kiyohiko.

If it was Ah Qing, there seemed to be something different.

...What is the difference?

"My lord, this is a receipt from Sand Hidden Village."

Smiling Qingjiang took out a letter from his bosom, which is said to be the feedback from the Wind Country trade.

The pre-prepared materials sold well, and it was no surprise that they sold out.After feeling the goodwill expressed by Konoha, Sahiro was quite enthusiastic at least on the surface. The members of the elders even personally met with Mikazuki Munekin. After learning that the lord he obeyed was Uchiha, his expression It was even more benevolent - obviously the other party couldn't resist this kind of face at ordinary times, the clue was that Kankuro who was standing aside rolled his eyes three times in a row.

"I sincerely hope that this material transaction can continue."

The Jnin said with a smile on their face, and they made ten percent of the diplomatic strategy of the defeated country: "I'm really sorry, we don't have anything here that you can bring back..."

"According to the will of the lord, in addition to unilateral dumping of goods, we want to establish stable trade channels with each other—any village has its place to be proud of, and the Kingdom of Wind and Hidden Sand Village are of course no exception. .”

Mikami Tsukimune was sitting in the room with a dignified posture, facing a large group of high-level ninjas in Hidden Sand Village, and the words he said made them both tempted and alert: "And it just so happens that during these years of traveling, my lord has indeed Know some methods of growing crops in a desert environment... As long as you cultivate crops more carefully, the vegetables you grow will not even be inferior to areas with rich soil and water like the Land of Rivers and the Land of Fire."

This sentence can be said to hit everyone's heart.

As we all know, the ailment of Shayin Village is not only due to the desertification of the soil.

If it's just an environmental problem, you can still rely on the efforts of generations to make it better, or even worse, you can launch the ninjas of Sand Hidden Village to attack the nearby Kawa and Taki countries. Areas that demand a lot of water or are even flooded with waterfalls will definitely be able to meet the water needs of the people in Hidden Sand Village and even the Land of Winds.

But the more difficult problem to solve is the combat form of sand ninjas.

Leaving aside the sand avatars that most people can use, take Temari's "Zhan Zhan Wu", the widely taught wind escape technique, the third Kazekage's sand and iron technique, and Gaara's sand waterfall burial as examples... ...a series of tactical systems, all based on the extensive use of sand.

In other words, as long as the basic combat power of Hidden Sand Village is not to be destroyed, then this piece of natural or man-made desert must exist.

This immovable fortress living in the desert is also a cage that restricts its own development.

Not all of the Land of Winds is deserted. In fact, there are small areas of desertified grasslands and bordering vegetation coverage. However, the farming capacity of this small area obviously cannot meet the needs of the entire country. The country imports food.

However, there are six or seven small countries between the land of fields and the land of wind, which have the largest grain export volume. If they want to walk a straight distance, they will pass through the land of fire, so they have always had to bear the high cost of food imports.In addition, the ninjutsu characteristics that Hidden Sand Village relies on will lead to a landslide in which the environment will gradually become desertified. After the sand and iron technique to collect gold placer to supplement the village's economy has completely failed with the disappearance of the third generation of Kazekage , the economic situation of Shayin Village is even more difficult.

On this basis, a series of measures to reduce military spending by the daimyo of the country of wind became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel or triggered the war.

"But, but, we have nothing in exchange..."

Some people in the conference room have already realized what kind of business opportunity this means, and how much influence and change it will bring to Hidden Sand Village and even the Kingdom of Wind: "And if we want to provide such technology to us, there must be a high price. Bar……"

The elders of Sand Hidden Village and the Junin quickly exchanged glances, and their eyes were vaguely focused on the son and daughter left behind by the previous Kazekage who had returned from Konoha Ninja Village.

It seems that apart from Gaara, the ultimate weapon, the remaining two little ghosts cannot be easily regarded as abandoned children.

"Is this a personal act, or is it an official order from Konoha?"

Someone asked: "After all, almost everyone in the ninja world knows about the matter of the Uchiha clan... At this time, with the name of 'Uchiha Kiyohiko', what exactly are you trying to do? ?”

"—It's very simple, and there will be no loss for Hidden Sand Village."

Smiling Qing Jiang followed Mikayue and said, "For the exchange of economic benefits, we have asked Hakata Toshiro to write a proposal during the process of coming, and on the other hand, what we want is actually very simple, and Sand Yin is just right. can provide."

"... what we need is shelter and recognition."

He looked straight into everyone's eyes, and said frankly: "I hope that in the future, if Master Kiyohiko comes to Sand Ninja Village for any reason, everyone will not refuse."

"Wait, what are you kidding?"

Someone shouted: "You mean Kiyohiko Uchiha? How could a guy with that surname need the protection of Sand Hidden Village? If that guy stays in Konoha without leaving the village, it's impossible to—"

His voice came to an abrupt end.

Those who can live to this age, no matter how simple-minded they are, have a more or less basic understanding of the dark side of ninjas.

"—That's the 'impossible', Yura-dono."

Mikazuki Zongjin said.

As swordsmen, they don't have much sense of belonging to Ninja Village. With the fourth Kazekage already dead, exposing this bit of scandal in the village does not have the slightest psychological pressure in his eyes: "Master Kiyohiko's former teammate Ka Mr. Cassie was almost attacked by a ninja from Yeyin Village, in order to kill the other party to grab the only Sharingan; and Master Hokage of the third generation was almost assassinated by some forces in the village. The experience all happened before Kiyohiko-sama joined Anbu."

"Under such circumstances, Konoha is not [-]% safe for Kiyohiko-sama—even though Hokage-sama has dispatched him to be the guard in front of Hokage based on various considerations."

"... Hey, it's really okay to question your Konoha's own high-level like this, and tell us such secrets!"

Someone lowered his voice: "And even if that guy came to Sand Hidden Village, you can also warn all Sand Hidden ninjas for the same reason, right?! After all, there are only three pairs of Sharingan left in this world... "

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty, that's it.

The ninja's body itself hides secrets. The reason why we pay attention to destroying the corpses in the previous ninja wars is also due to similar considerations.Although the family division system of the Hyuga clan is morally inhumane, it has indeed prevented the secret of Baiyan from leaking out very efficiently, and the attitude of other ninja villages towards the boundaries of blood successors also tends to protect and restrict. As for whether the restraint method is brutal or not, it depends on the intensity of the battle situation and various reasons.

"That's right, we really don't trust your ninjas in Hidden Sand Village. After all, the relationship maintained by 'trust' is too weak."

Mikazuki Zongjin accepted this sentence with a smile.

At the end of the long table, Gaara, who volunteered to listen in, raised his head suddenly, and stared at Mikazuki Sokichi who was sitting at the other end.

Naruto Uzumaki gave him the courage to face the cruel world, and these people have something else - some way to actually change the world.

And they're already doing it.

This realization made the 12-year-old boy feel inexplicably a little excited, and this kind of excitement was shown on his face... there was no expression.

Anyway, none of the people present can see what Gaara is thinking in his heart—this guy has been quiet and violent for more than a day or two. If he thinks too much, he might die faster. Shinobu thought so.

"Trust, Ninja, Allies... We are only loyal to Kiyohiko-sama's sword, and are not human Fusangshen in essence—if you really want to study it carefully, you should treat it as someone who can think independently and possesses the same power as human beings." Approximate body and soul existence."

The unusually beautiful eyes swept over everyone present.

"Of course, what we believe more in is benefits—the benefits Mr. Qingyan brings to Shayin Village will definitely be much greater than a pair of sharing eyes. Those things are hidden in his mind, and what he has witnessed in the past seven years Countless experiences are also maintained among us who signed the soul contract."

Wearing a hunting suit with complicated patterns, the sword like a nobleman of peace faced a group of sand hidden ninjas, showing a harmless smile: "So neither mind control nor personal detention is possible, so I think you should be able to figure out the best course of action."

Impeccable statement, everyone thought.

Moreover, this is indeed a request that Shayin Village cannot refuse - the conditions offered by the other party are too generous, and the situation in Shayin Village is getting more serious every year, even though it seems that Sanriyue Zongjin is here to seek business cooperation attitude, but in fact their right to choose is not abundant.

"We understand the situation."

The leader among them lowered his head slightly: "Then, Your Excellency Mikayue, please pass on our will to Konoha...to Mr. Kiyohiko."

"Of course, it's our pleasure."

Sanriyue Zongjin gathered his sleeves, smiled slightly, and mentioned the last message: "During the past few days in the Kingdom of Wind, Shayin Village has left a very strong impression on us both in terms of scenery and humanities. It was really a pleasure Here, I need to thank Temari-dono, Kankuro-dono, and I, Ara-kun.”

...?

Gaara raised her eyes, facing the sword named Mikazuki Munechi from afar.

"Next, it may be necessary to open up a test field, which requires the power of large-scale terrain correction... If I love Luo Jun to participate, it will surely make people feel more at ease."

Immediately afterwards, the sword in the ultramarine blue armor stood up, turned and left.

Konoha, Naruto Office.

Tsunade was shaking an urgent letter in front of him, and Ninja Hawk, who was wearing a wooden "Himaru" plaque on his chest on the windowsill, fluttered his wings a little restlessly.

"Although I thought about whether there would be any unexpected consequences when I asked you to send the caravan to the Land of Wind..."

The blond-haired Hokage-sama tapped his eyebrows with one hand, and his expression was particularly tangled: "But what's going on? The elders of Sand Hidden Village unanimously hired Konoha Special Uchiha Kiyohiko to go to Sand Hidden Village to give vegetable planting technical guidance? ?”

It’s okay to disassemble each word individually, but the sentence formed together makes people feel unbelievable: “What did your subordinates say to them!”

"Well, because I did learn some vegetable growing skills..."

Qing Yan seemed to answer honestly: "Probably because of this reason, and it is said that their living supplies are indeed in short supply."

"I didn't ask you this..."

Tsunade sighed exaggeratedly, one or two like to make trouble: "Is it allowed to leave the village? Go to the country of the wind at this time...Danzo will definitely not be safe, you really know what to do Block me."

There was a smile in the last half of the sentence, this Hokage-sama with a wide-ranging personality obviously did not take this "trouble" seriously: "However, it is good to be able to send a friendly signal from Sand Yin. You have successfully completed your task!"

"Then since Shayin has this intention, let's just consolidate on this basis and entrust you with the task of concluding the alliance contract!"

Tsunade held his chin: "Do what you want to do as much as possible, I am looking forward to it..."

"understood."

Originally, with the rank of a special ninja and the identity of Anbu, no matter what, such a task would not fall on him, but even so, Tsunade is still willing to make an exception for this-probably this is the characteristic of a big gambler Bar.

Kiyohiko bowed deeply to Tsunade: "I will definitely not disappoint you."

The sky looked gloomy all day today, and it started to rain even more after leaving the Hokage Mansion.

Kiyohiko was holding a black umbrella, and he didn't seem to be wearing an obvious saber—of course, whether he carried the dagger's protective sword was another matter.

He went to Konoha's cemetery alone - most of the ordinary residents of the Uchiha clan were not eligible to be engraved on the memorial tablet as non-combatants, and of course they were not buried in the cemetery as ninjas.

Because of the special boundaries of the Uchiha clan, it is impossible for most people who died in battle to be encoffined and buried properly. As ordinary residents, there is an area like the family cemetery to bury and deal with the funeral.

The black-haired young man searched the cemetery for a long time before he recognized the two names "Uchiha Japonica" and "Uchiha Teyaki" among a series of names.

The tombstone was carved rather sloppily. Like all the other inscriptions in this cemetery, it only succinctly wrote the name of the owner of the tomb, without even bothering to add the date of birth and death.

After standing for a long time, Qingyan bent down, took out a box of bento from his arms, and solemnly placed it in the grass in front of the tombstone.

"...Sorry for the delay for so many years."

He smiled, with a relieved tone in his voice: "I have learned a lot in the past seven years, and I think I will follow your wishes and spend my life safely, smoothly, and happily."

He is the third son in the family, the youngest and the most favored child.If there is no such menacing ninja war, he will probably take over the family's senbei shop as a matter of course, become the young owner of "Uchiha senbei", and then spend his whole life in the process of making senbei and selling senbei to cashier .

Maybe they will meet the most outstanding young man in the family who has risen to fame, but the discussion between them will definitely not be "what kind of killing technique is more convenient and efficient", but something else.

"—At that time, it would be nice to ask him about the taste of senbei."

The raindrops pattered on the grass, making a rustling sound.Qing Yan stood silently in front of the tombstone for a long time, when he turned around, he suddenly found an old man with his hands behind his back standing behind him.

"I've read Kakashi's report on you, so I'm a little interested and want to ask."

The other party said in a deep voice: "It's right here, we can finish the talk soon."

"Of course... I know everything."

Kiyohiko turned around and closed the umbrella, and then the light rain trickled down his hair to the tip of his nose, and then dripped down on the ground along his chin: "Danzo-sama."

The author has something to say:

It is hard to say that the landform of the Land of Winds is free of human factors. The clues are as follows:

1. On the map, the land of wind is connected with the land of rain and the land of rivers. These countries are all countries with abundant water resources.

2. In the anime, the 12-year-old Gaara performed the scene of breaking rocks and soil in an instant, turning a large forest into sand in an instant and using the sand to fight. I guess it should be the basic operation of sand ninja

In this case, it is impossible for this country to be greened, because full greening = weakening our combat effectiveness.
