[Comprehensive] living to death

"Why is he an old man again?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya's already frozen face cracked open.

"You brat, who are you calling an old man!!" He grabbed his fluffy white hair, very sad and indignant, "See it clearly! This is natural, natural!! I was born with such hair, sir!!"

The little girl who sat on the seat and looked at him with her chin in her hand let out a slow "Oh".

"Yes, I see." She said, "Hello, uncle."

The corner of Ji Laiya's mouth twitched: "Uncle or something..."

When he thought about it carefully, the 35-year-old himself seemed to be really old enough to be called an uncle, and he felt even more aggrieved.

"Forget it, don't care about the brat, how can a brat like you understand the charm of a mature man." He threw away the hair in his hand and strode over. It's...he's still a brat! He was tricked by the teacher."

Jiraiya's teacher, the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi, told him that he had found a beautiful woman as his apprentice.Zilai also thought about it, although a girl of eleven or twelve years old is still young, in a few years she won't be... well, right?I think back then, when Tsunade was 15 years old... Hehehe...

"It turned out to be a little ghost." He sighed again, and complained listlessly, "A little ghost in every sense."

Mingyue thought about it.

"Uncle, the 'little' you mentioned..." She pointed to her chest, "Does it mean here?"

"Yeah, so what?" Jiraiya put his waist in and gave her a condescending look.His expression showed that he was still very upset about being fooled into taking a little devil as his apprentice.

"That's easy to handle!" Mingyue said without any burden, "I'll buy two steamed buns and put them in my chest later, and make sure they are as big as I want, and of whatever shape I want..."

"Hey, hey!" Zilai also hurriedly covered her mouth, and looked around in a panic, guilty of making sure that no one heard her, before turning to stare at her, "Don't talk so badly as a girl!"

So fast.

With her mouth covered, Mingyue's eyes narrowed slightly.

She couldn't dodge it just now, and she couldn't see through this uncle's strength.Although he looks a bit shady, his steps are steady and his eyes are sharp, which seems to be genuine.

Mingyue raised her hand in surrender.

"Forget it, since we are here, we can only admit it." Zilai also let go, "Then let me introduce myself first. I am Jiraiya, and I have a share of the so-called 'Three Ninjas'. Currently 35 Aged, unmarried, Konoha's Jonin, and your future teacher. I like to eat ramen, and my hobby is writing novels. I am currently collecting material for a new novel. Well, it's your turn, kid."

"Uncle, I always feel that your subjects are not too normal." Mingyue stood up, "So, Uchiha Mingyue is 6 years old this year, and his birthday is on May 5th. There are many things I like, and my dream is to stand on the top of the world."

"The pinnacle of the world?" Jiraiya looked strange, "Even if you said Hokage, I wouldn't be so surprised... Cough, forget it later. Now..."

He turned slightly to one side, then his figure suddenly disappeared, and then appeared strangely on the window sill of the classroom.

"Hey, Mingyue." Jiraiya turned his head, "Now start your first test! Follow up!"

He kicked his legs and disappeared without a trace.

The March wind blows over Jiraiya, and the freshness of the grass and trees mixed with the dust of the road creates a unique taste of peace.When he jumped down the stairs, he made a fake move, seemingly going forward, but in fact, he used the cover of the school's grove to run in another direction.Such a test is still difficult for a 6-year-old kid, hehehe...

"Uncle, why are you giggling alone?"

A hand reached out and tugged at the hem of his clothes.

Ji Lai also froze again.

... No wonder he felt that something was wrong around him just now ...

"Is this the uncle's test? Is it a little too simple?" Mingyue suggested sincerely, "Why don't we change it?"

"Say, what are you talking about! How could it be so simple!" Jiraiya straightened his expression immediately, and said deeply, "The real test is about to begin. Listen carefully——"

He jumped onto the roof, and Mingyue stood beside him.

Jiraiya's fluffy long hair looks like a tapestry in the sun.

He was looking around Muye Village from the roof, not knowing what he was looking at, Mingyue looked up at him, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Uncle, I've been wanting to say it since just now, do you want to use some eye drops or something?" She said seriously, "Both of your eyes are bleeding, and there may be serious consequences if you don't treat them early... Ouch!"

Zilai also pressed her head hard.

"It's not blood, it's the lines of a fairy pattern, you know?" Zilai also pointed to the two small red marks under his eyes, rolled his eyes, and muttered softly, "I didn't expect that I came here There will also be a day when she will do something to a woman... Well, it doesn't matter, anyway, a 6-year-old kid who doesn't have breasts can't be called a woman."

"I said to buy two steamed buns, uncle, you are not happy... Ouch!"

Zilai also pressed again without hesitation.

A well-behaved child like Minato is cuter, alas. The 35-year-old uncle sighed so much that he completely forgot that he was once a noisy brat.

Fairy mode?Have not heard.Mingyue wrote down the word and planned to go back and look it up.

"Listen, the test for you is—"

Seeing Zilai, she also waved her hand boldly.

"—Find five toads from all the leaves!"

"..."

The corner of Mingyue's mouth twitched. "Excuse me, uncle, what did you say?" She cleared her throat, "Maybe I just lost my mind and misheard...toad??"

"That's right, toad." Jiraiya looked very serious, and took out a doll in the shape of a toad from his bag, "This is it."

He handed the toad doll to Mingyue.That is a very ordinary doll, orange with black lines, stuffed with cotton so that it has a bulging soft feel.Toad was wearing a little blue bathrobe, looking at her seriously with black peas, holding a pipe in his hand.

Smoking toad?

Just when Mingyue wanted to take it, Zilai also suddenly took the toad doll back.

"See clearly? I can't give you this one, it's a limited edition." Jilai also touched the doll's head cherishingly, "Anyway, I hid five dolls like this in Konoha Village in advance, you My task is to find them all before noon the day after tomorrow and bring them to the No. [-] training ground, where I will wait for you."

"Quan Konoha?" Mingyue protested, "This range is too big. Besides, what if you hide the doll in someone else's toilet tank? I'm sure I can't find it!"

"Who wants to hide the dolls in that kind of place, you brat..." Zilai also sighed, feeling that he had become surprisingly numb to this guy's words, "Then remind me again, all the dolls are put away." It's outside, and at least one person has seen it when it's released."

"Really?"

"Ah, who wants to lie to the brat." Ji Lai also complained, "I don't want to be so troublesome. This year's graduates are not enough to be divided into groups of three. I only brought you alone, but there is no way to use the traditional Grab the bell to test."

The traditional way of testing is to... grab the bell.

"Okay, I get it." Mingyue replied bluntly, "By the way, uncle, what will happen if I don't find all the dolls?"

Ji Lai also seemed to have been waiting for this question for a long time, showing a slightly malicious and wretched smile - at least in Mingyue's eyes, it was quite wretched.

"Hey, well..." he said, "Of course that means disqualifying you as a ninja. Go back to school and study obediently, kid."

After saying this, he stretched himself.

"Ah - I've been delayed for a long time!" He sighed in a tone as if he was finally relieved, "You look for that brat slowly, and I'll go first! My source, hehehe..."

"Goodbye, kid!"

The white-haired ninja jumped vertically and horizontally a few times, and quickly disappeared into the eaves of the wooden leaves.

His past direction seems to be female soup...?

Mingyue set up a pergola to look around, and then looked around. All she could see were neat buildings and hurried houses. On the rocky mountain to the north, three huge Hokage statues were still looking at the world with radiance as in the past years.

"Huh... this uncle is really."

She also jumped off the roof, bought a bottle of cold mineral water from a vending machine on the side of the road, and drank slowly after pulling the tab.

"It's really not a difficult test."

Mingyue lazily said to herself.

******

Can the little girl complete the task?

At noon on Sunday, Jiraiya sat on the stake in the No. [-] training ground, writing and drawing in his notebook while thinking about this issue.

It will be twelve noon soon.

The sun keeps moving higher, and the shadows on the ground are getting shorter and shorter.Jiraiya also watched his own shadow on the ground gradually shorten until it shrank to his feet.

"Did you fail..."

Jiraiya also looked at his watch; the second hand was running towards the last lap before twelve o'clock.

ten.Nine.eight.seven.six.five.Four.three.two……

"Bingo!"

……one.

Jiraiya looked at the bright moon that suddenly appeared in front of him with a face of shock, and... a bunch of flowers? ? ?

I saw Mingyue holding a bouquet of flowers, and inside the wrapping paper were three red carnations and five toad dolls.The doll was tied to the top of a stick, and was solemnly placed around three carnations.The outer packaging paper is pink and purple, and a golden red ribbon is tied underneath.

The whole shape looks so vulgar.

"Little ghost... what are you doing?" Ji Lai also opened his mouth, opened and closed it with difficulty a few times, and then asked tremblingly.

"Uncle, the doll you want, isn't that obvious?" Mingyue pushed the little black top hat on her head, and replied calmly, "It's just a little modification."

Jilai also stared blankly at Mingyue, then at the doll wrapped in pink and purple wrapping paper, and at the three carnations in the middle.This was repeated three times.

No, no, you have to cheer yourself up!In front of the kid, you must maintain the demeanor of your predecessors!

"Cough, cough, cough!" The white-haired ninja coughed a few times, and finally adjusted his stiff facial muscles. "The doll is indeed right, but what happened to the flower you held?"

"No way, I found all the dolls yesterday afternoon." Mingyue grinned, "I think since I have time, why not make some decorations? As for the three carnations, they are for you, uncle, thank you Take the trouble to design a test for me."

Mingyue is still very beautiful and cute when she is smiling, and it even gives people the illusion of being "well-behaved". The 35-year-old uncle couldn't help being cute when he came, and had to clear his throat vigorously.

Ji Lai also took the flowers, checked them, and made sure that the dolls were not made by tricks, and then remembered that the little girl in front of her said that she had found all the things yesterday, and was a little surprised.

"It's quite powerful, kid." He patted Mingyue's head with a smile, "How did you do it?"

"It's not difficult, because you have given enough hints, uncle."

Mingyue sorted out her thoughts.

"Five small and ordinary dolls are scattered throughout the village. If they are deliberately hidden, it may be difficult for the jonin to collect them all within two days."

"Uncle said to put the doll outside and ensure that at least one person saw it. Of course, this is to reduce the difficulty, but the reminder is also obvious, that is, to find the person who saw it."

"But even so, it is very difficult for a six-year-old child to search the whole village in two days."

"The uncle then mentioned 'grabbing the bell'. I just heard about this training method from an acquaintance. Three people grab two bells, just to cultivate a sense of cooperation."

"Uncle said that there are not enough people this year. I only have one person so I can't use it. But as a ninja, you must cooperate with others. So what this test is about is very simple."

"How to find the right people to cooperate and work together to find five dolls within two days."

Having said that, Mingyue suddenly sighed.

"Uncle, I think you should consider that I can find other people who graduated from the same year to cooperate?" She pushed the little hat on her head and said helplessly, "But, these two days, everyone is doing their own teacher's work. Test."

"...!"

Jiraiya froze all over.From the beginning to the end, the whole person froze into a plaster statue, and then weathered and cracked...

"Ha, ha ha ha!" The white-haired ninja laughed guiltily, "What are you talking about, Uchiha Mingyue! I guessed wrong, I did it on purpose! That's why it's so difficult! Ha, ha ha ha..."

The little girl in the top hat in front of him glanced at him.

Jilai also felt that it looked like contempt, but he firmly believed that he was wrong.

"So uncle did it on purpose!" Mingyue nodded repeatedly as if suddenly realizing, "That's right, otherwise, if teammates are so easy to find, this test wouldn't be difficult at all!"

"That's right... that's right! That's it!" Jiraiya nodded along, with a serious face, trying to put on an appearance of "everything is within my expectations".

"But it just so happened that it was a weekend, and Ninja School was on holiday. So I found my younger brothers and sisters who were at school... Cough, I mean classmates who have a good relationship, and asked them to do me a small favor." Mingyue praised Said, "Presumably this is also the time that Uncle deliberately chose, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to find my teammates."

Hey kid, did you just say "little brother and younger sister"?Don't think he didn't hear it!Jiraiya was roaring in his heart, but he could only twitch the corners of his mouth in a guilty conscience and said, "Of course! I did it on purpose, on purpose..."

"The last clue is the whereabouts of the uncle." Mingyue said, "After the uncle finished the test content, he quickly ran in the direction of Konoha Nuyu. Therefore, the nunyu is the key. So my classmates and I used the nunyu For the central store, I asked around Fangyuan, and sure enough, I quickly found five dolls."

A white-haired ninja who slipped the doll out on the way to collect materials: "..."

"Mm, um, yes!" Jiraiya had a serious face, with cold sweat streaming down the back of his head, "You discovered all of this, you did a great job, Uchiha-san!"

Seeing that the little girl was about to speak again, and didn't know what shocking words to say, Zi Lai Ye quickly patted her on the head.

"Congratulations, Mingyue!" He said righteously, "From now on, you are officially a member of Jiraiya's team!"

The white-haired ninja rubbed the top of her head, his movements were a little rough, but the rough warmth was similar to that of the Third Hokage.Mingyue rubbed along with him, and even raised her hands, cheering happily: "Long live Teacher Ziraiya!"

Zilai also laughed out loud.

"Let's go, to celebrate, I'll treat you to lunch! How about Ichiraku Ramen?"

"I agree! I want dumplings!"

"Huh? Learned to ask the teacher so quickly? For the sake of the first day of the official apprenticeship, I promise you!"

"Teacher Jiraiya is the best!"

……

"Hahaha...Speaking of which, why did you put three carnations in the doll?"

"The so-called 'a teacher for a day and a mother for life', of course the beautiful carnations should be given to the teacher! How about it, is it a surprise or not, is it moving or not?"

"...Mingyue, your dumpling is gone."

"Don't be so stingy, Teacher Jiraiya..."
