Anbu Biography

When Kakashi struggled to open his eyes with the throbbing pain in his temples, he saw a guy with a pleasant expression sitting on the chair beside his bed, chatting about... reading the contract.

Kakashi suddenly had the illusion that he had slept for a week - but judging from the current feeling of hunger, he probably just slept for a whole day.

"...Hey, did you do anything unnecessary while I was sleeping?"

he couldn't help asking.

"How come, this is a great thing to expand sales and take the opportunity to occupy the market."

Kiyohiko took the contract as a matter of course and showed it to Kakashi: "Here, look, the mine that was rotten in Tanokuni and could not be sold before is now available."

He sent out the three strikes and swords to copy the list of import and export goods needed by the country of craftsmen, focusing on the export of some special alloys, stainless steel and non-ferrous metals, as well as some shaped profiles, such as rectangular square tubes and angle steels. What does the former do? They can all be used, and the latter is one of the leading tools in the infrastructure industry.

As sentient ninjas, the two ninjas were consciously guarding nearby, and Kakashi cleared up the relationship after a little thought: "In short, have you solved the follow-up problem of the Artisan Kingdom?"

"That's it."

Kiyohiko said vaguely: "I have nothing to do with the export of their ninja tools, but this can only be considered by Tsunade-sama's position."

Kakashi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "In this case, why don't you consider working hard with Hokage as the goal-Ah Kiyoshi, the one you dealt with Seimei before, well, I remember it was called Thunder's Breath... that again Wouldn’t it be quite advisable to do further cultivation.”

Very different from seven years ago, he thought.In the era of war, the promotion rules for ninjas are completely different from this era. He himself was forcibly promoted to Jonin when he reached the relative strength of the Jnin.But now Kiyohiko's strength may have touched the invisible threshold of Jonin, and there is only a suitable opportunity to make a move - perhaps a pair of Sharingan, or something else.

As a result, this sentence was exchanged for the other party's lips curling up.

"——Kakashi, don't you really believe that members of the Uchiha clan can become Hokage?"

"..."

Kakashi lay on the bed, blinking his eyes quite innocently: "At least try your best."

"That doesn't sound as easy as saving the world."

Kiyohiko retorted without hesitation.

"Ah, it's too much to talk like that—"

Kakashi laughed, and then felt a little melancholy in his heart.He is not completely ignorant of the discord and friction among the major families of Konoha. As one of the best knives in this village, the intricate nature of Konoha's various forces is difficult even for him to grasp clearly.

For example, the most superficial meaning of the earrings passed down from generation to generation by the Inokacho family is "to keep this unity in our ears at all times", but this "unity" is witnessed by members of the Sarutobi clan: Sarutobi Asi, the son of the third Hokage Ma, as the teacher of Shikamaru and others, will give earrings symbolizing "unity" and "recognition" to the future patriarchs of the new generation of Ikacho after all their team members become Chunin.

Another example is that although the Hyuga clan is internally united, when there is a conflict between the family's interests and the village's interests, they choose to sacrifice Hyuga Nizashi like a strong man, which leads to a series of tragedies for Neji and the gloomy personality throughout his teenage years.

Considering the history of Madara's betrayal of the first generation of adults, and the experience of the Uchiha clan being almost wiped out, even if there is a day when he really tries to run for Hokage, the daimyo will not pass it... Kakashi is a little sad I wondered—is it because I knew the reasons from the beginning, so Qing didn't set his goal here from the beginning?

"—Actually, I'm not an idealist."

In Root's memory review, this former teammate explained to Sasuke with a relaxed smile.

Obito might tell everyone out loud that he wants to be Hokage, but Kiyo won't.Kakashi lay on the bed and tilted his head. The young man next to him held the contract in one hand and checked the items line by line.The silver-haired Jonin was startled, maybe the other party's thoughts were deeper than he imagined, even...

Everyone in this family is worrying.

"...Ah Ching."

He couldn't help shouting.

"what happened?"

Kiyohiko raised his eyes in surprise, seven years later Kakashi really talked a lot more than before - not to say that it is not good now, but it still needs him to have a process of adaptation.

Calling names is just a subconscious thing. When the other party really starts to wait for him to say the next sentence, the clever mind that has traversed all Konohas seems to be one of the best suddenly shut down.

"For a ninja, there must be a backup option. What is it called... Backup? For you, even if you don't plan to become Hokage, there are similar backup options, right?"

Kakashi asked, using a teasing tone as much as possible to hide his stumbling thoughts.

In exchange for this, the other party looked a little surprised. Generally speaking, the eyes seemed to see a ninja dog learning to meow, or Naruto suddenly read "Spatial Geometry of Detonating Talisman" one day.

Kakashi:  …

This is too embarrassing.

When I got along with Ah Qing before, why didn't I find it so easy to appear awkward? Is it because Tianzang is there every time? Is that guy actually a character who is good at lively topics? ?Kakashi thought hard.

Just when he felt that he should say something more to save this basically hopeless topic, Qing Yan suddenly spoke, imitating his somewhat teasing tone: "Originally, I didn't consider this aspect at all—or Said that because the energy has never been invested in this direction, even if you ask, I have no relevant plans."

"...But there are probably options between my own efforts to become Hokage and changing the world."

Kiyohiko said as a matter of course: "Kakashi, you go to be Hokage and 'in short, think of a way to solve this troublesome thing'!"

...? !

The guy on the hospital bed suddenly showed an expression of "why did the pot hammer on my head again".

...And what kind of method is "in a word, think of a way"!This kind of statement is almost comparable to saying to the fourth generation during the war, "use your invincible Flying Thunder God to find a way"-his teacher complained in private more than once, "Flying Thunder God can't be used all the time Yes! Sometimes, of course, I also need to use my Spiral Flash Chaolun Wuhou Sanshi..."

I don’t remember the rest of the content. His teacher’s ninjutsu names are notoriously weird. Some ninjutsu may not be finished in one breath. But I don't know if it's because the name is too long or the person's movements are too fast, maybe it's both.

"Because if you think about it carefully, Kakashi, it's much easier for you to 'work harder' than me?"

A guy who talked to himself even continued to think about it: "After you become Hokage, someone will take over such troublesome jobs. It is actually quite troublesome to think about trade and new industries. Yes, I don't want to work hard."

Kakashi: "..."

Sounds like a huge problem!

He decided to continue entanglement on this topic: "Then you have left the job to me, what are you doing? Are you continuing to work in Anbu?"

"Of course I resigned!"

Kiyohiko said without hesitation: "Then go home and set up a small store, continue to sell senbei and some snacks that I like to eat, to be honest, I have visited a lot of worlds in the past few years , I have seen several ways of dim sum..."

It's too irresponsible!Kakashi thought, but this sounds really tempting, probably the kind of life Shikamaru wanted to live.

Seven years may have caused earth-shaking changes in him, but it seems to remain the same.Kakashi suddenly thought that when everyone met in Anbu at the beginning, this guy was the most eye-catching among a large group of lifeless people. Although he was not as "not a ninja" as Obito and Naruto, but occasionally when he was free, Kiyohiko would He would think that when the war is over, maybe he can take over the senbei shop at home, and it is guaranteed to become a local specialty as famous as Ichiraku Ramen.

"...It's too shabby to say that ramen is a famous product."

When Tianzang heard this, he couldn't help complaining: "At least give me some more famous examples."

"Then can you think of anything else?"

Kiyohiko asked.

"……cannot."

In fact, at that moment, Tianzang's mind rolled over "Gan Li Gan", "Sake Wine House" and a series of frequent shops, but he was sad to find that these "local specialties" were not much different from Ichiraku Ramen.

He slept for one night, plus one day, and at this moment, the setting sun was shining outside the window.

It's a good time for dinner.

"I've specially troubled all of you to come and run, and I'll treat you today."

After a day's sleep, I managed to regain some energy. Even though my temples still had a faint throbbing pain, it still didn't affect my normal actions.

"—I don't know what specialties there are in the artisan village. Anyway, just order what you want to eat as much as you want."

Those citizens of the country of craftsmen who had been transferred to the fortifications are now gradually transferring back to their original homes. Although the streets are still sparsely populated, the shops that should be opened have been opened one after another.

The expressions of the two ninjas were a little embarrassed. After all, Kakashi was not their own ninja in the class. It always felt a little flattered to be treated, but the one who was in charge of paying the money seemed to be a matter of course, leading everyone to stride into the local area to see Go up to the one with the widest storefront.

——Swiping through the menu without changing his face, he ordered all the signature dishes with names and surnames on the menu in a series of smooth "names of dishes".

Neji and Shino suddenly thought of Asma who was cash-strapped in order to treat Choji to a barbecue, and fell silent.

These just ate up a b-level mission...

Obviously.Unlike Asma, Kakashi is not very short of money.

The reward for being a jonin is very considerable, and the most important thing is that this guy doesn't spend much money—he lives in a home with no special features for several years, and the only hobbies are reading, which accounts for the largest proportion of daily expenses. The portion is dog food, and the living conditions are so routine that they are almost rigid. Except for the necessary training and tasks, every day is like a replica of the previous day.

Perhaps the Anbu member "Skaia" has a completely different life, but it is clear...Skaia also receives a salary for this additional identity.

"It is rare to solve this series of problems. It is a day worth celebrating."

He raised his glass and poured himself a little sake first.Of course, the ninjas are not qualified to drink, and Kiyohiko doesn't intend to make them a bad start in this kind of place, so they just bury their heads in eating the food and drink.

"Next, Kiyo, you will be busy with various things, right?"

A colorless and transparent liquid sloshes back and forth in the white porcelain cup, alcohol tolerance training, simple poison resistance training, basic field survival knowledge training and a variety of complicated and complicated content, Anbu's training can be said to be all-encompassing, just Like a veteran who has retired from the army, he still has some military habits. Of course, what Anbu brought to him is not just a uniform that he has changed and left at home and has no chance to wear again.

——Actually, Kakashi himself doesn’t have any obvious preferences in terms of diet, but considering Kiyohiko’s sword that Honmaru is eyeing, and the habits that are incompatible with the life of ninjas that he has coerced since he was a child, he will always Subconsciously, I felt that "if I eat with that guy, I must be more disciplined."

"Do what you can and let nature take its course."

Qing Yan gave an ambiguous answer: "Although there is a rough plan, the resistance to implementation is quite large after careful consideration."

Compared with most of the worlds he has experienced, this homeland of his birth seems too dangerous-so that for a long time as a god judge, he did not understand "what is the danger of this job?" of".

Unlike those god judges who use bows and arrows or talisman seals, most of the time he rushed to the front line of the team with real swords and guns - the government of the time allocated him indeed all dangerous places. Let the swords in my own pills feel very unfair, complaining.

"It's nothing to us...but it's too much for you, Lord Lord, to take risks yourself, and even wander in the dangerous world repeatedly!"

There have been protests like this before.

"—It doesn't matter, if I can earn merits more efficiently in this way, I can return to my original world sooner."

Kiyohiko explained casually while wrapping a bandage around his body.The wounds on the swords can be quickly repaired by spiritual power and hand penetration, but the wounds on human beings cannot—Qing Yan himself does not know medical ninjutsu, so he can only rely on time and medicine to get over it, causing the whole Honmaru was more anxious than himself up and down.

It was a stubbornness that was difficult for many colleagues to understand. Everyone could not attribute this kind of behavior and thoughts to the idea of ​​returning to the roots of fallen leaves, and they did not think that the other party was planning to return to their hometown in glory, but in short, the idea of ​​"wanting to go back" has always been rooted in the other party. In my mind, even seven years have not changed.

The efficiency of the ninja is still very high. When pushing the cups and changing the cups, the rich quickly wiped out the food on the table.

This was in another country, just finished a dangerous mission and went deep into the hinterland. Even if they ordered wine at the dinner table, the two of them drank very sparingly—except for a little bit of alcohol in the air, there was not even a trace of alcohol in the air. No trace of alcohol consumption.

If Jiraiya-sama was present, he would definitely ridicule this way of drinking as "not enjoyable enough".

After drinking and eating, several officials from the Kingdom of Craftsmen waited at the door of the hotel early.

"Your Excellency Kiyohiko, Your Excellency Kakashi."

The leader bowed and saluted: "Thank you very much for your commitment to ore supply. After discussing with the daimyo of the country of craftsmen, we unanimously decided to invite you to visit the place where we smelt metal."

"This is the most important place in your country, we outsiders..."

Kakashi said cautiously.

It is a good thing to get attention, but if you see too much and know something you shouldn't know, wouldn't it add trouble.

If the other party wants to kill people to silence him, he shouldn't be powerless to resist... The silver-haired boss thought for a while, and then his eyes drifted towards the side.

"There are also mines in the Land of Fire, are you not afraid that I will learn your technology?"

—— Kiyohiko shrugged, much more straightforward than Kakashi's euphemism.

However, as soon as this sentence was uttered, everyone in the country of craftsmen laughed: "We are not trying to lead you to see the place where weapons are forged-this violates the fair agreement between the five major countries. We just want to show It’s just a bit of craftsmanship from the country of craftsmen—if there are any entrustments that have nothing to do with making a living with weapons, our strength is also very reliable.”

This is actively soliciting business. Obviously, rather than relying on the breath of the five major countries to live on, actively striving for industrial transformation is also one of the goals of the Craftsman Kingdom.Now the plan to resurrect their ancestors has completely failed, and they have to find a way to survive this somewhat difficult time.Qing Yan had already given enough hints and steps before, and whether they can take this step depends on the sincerity shown next.

The black-haired young man nodded happily: "In this case, it is convenient for our two children and retainers not to participate, so I will..."

"—Together, it is a great honor for us to have the opportunity to be invited to visit the technology of the country of craftsmen."

Kakashi said.

...Is this guy so curious?On the way to the volcano, Qingyan couldn't help but glance at the guy next to him.

It's a pity that the latter's expression is indifferent, with a look of watching his nose, nose, nose and heart. He looks idle and bored, with flaws all over his body, but if he carefully considers where to attack, he can't pick out the slightest chance.

"...Actually, I don't think it's dangerous."

In the end, Qingyan couldn't help but whispered, "As long as they want to make life in this country easier, they won't plan to embarrass us at this time."

——But I didn't come here for this reason, Kakashi replied in his heart, but he didn't think about the specific reason himself, so of course he couldn't tell the other party, so he could only put on a signature expression He smiled and rolled his eyes: "Isn't it great to have the opportunity to visit this scene, this is a scene that many people will never see in their lifetime."

"..."

This reason sounds a little unsatisfactory, but Kiyohiko thought it was the other party's vigilance that caused trouble - if there was another guy like Seimei, he would really be unable to resist by himself.

"Please come this way with us. The air ahead is prone to produce some harmful gases. Please wear gas masks in advance, both of you."

They were talking small things in the back row. Regardless of whether they heard it or not, the officials of the Craftsman Kingdom in the front row pretended to be ignorant, and handed over two gas masks with smiles on their faces.

It is true that sulfur-containing substances are easily produced in the hinterland of the volcano. If you want to work here for a long time, it is obviously impossible without sufficient protection.

After getting the gas mask in their hands, both of them quickly inspected it and put it on their faces after confirming that there was no obvious mechanism.

Immediately afterwards, they followed the naturally generated rock cracks all the way down, and the surrounding temperature gradually increased.

"Look, this is the secret of our craftsman."
