Naruto

Xie still stood at the window and looked out, but compared to before, now Xie no longer expected, those two people might continue to walk, leaving only a fading figure in his memory , that's all.

"What does brother watch every day?"

Probably because he was tired of looking at the unchanging scenery outside the window, Xie seldom turned his head to look at his brother who had been silently accompanying him behind him.

Yun raised the book in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's not a book for a little man."

"Could it be that my brother still reads comic books at this age?"

Throwing a disdainful look of "nonsense, everyone knows that this is not a comic book", Xie blinked his dry eyes that had been dry for a long time, walked slowly to his brother, bent over and took it. The book that attracted my brother's attention even more than my own.

"A Brief Analysis of Ninja War Cases"?"

Xie's tone of voice rose. Although he knew that his brother was reading a more complicated book, he never expected it to be such a profound book.I flipped through a few pages at random, and there were dense texts on it, with several military topographic maps on the side.After just a few glances, Xie felt his head swell, not to mention reading the entire book, the pile of technical terms that appeared in just a few lines made it difficult for Xie to read, let alone a five-year-old who could understand Got a few words.

"You understand?!"

Xie was surprised, he knew very well that his brother was always with him, so when did he already know more than himself?

"It's okay, I read it as a storybook, although there are many things I don't understand very well."

Retrieving the book from Xie's hand, Yun turned back to the page he was reading earlier.

"elder brother……"

"Ok?"

Yun had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing to read the book, and raised his head, wondering why his younger brother started pestering him uncharacteristically.

"When did you know so much?"

Although Xie's expression didn't change much, the slightly pursed mouth still showed that this person is not in a good mood now.

"When you're staring out the window in a daze."

"..."

Well, with such an answer, Xiaoxie Baozi didn't know whether he should blame himself, or blushed, or blushed and blamed himself for his ignorance.

Just when Xie also secretly decided to work hard and try to catch up with his brother, Chiyo finally had time, or thought of an explanation, to visit his two little grandchildren.

"Hey, do my two cute little grandchildren miss grandma?"

The two little meat buns who were reading looked up at Chiyo who was standing at the door, but they didn't say a word.

"What?"

Chiyo was puzzled. Although the number of visits was not many, but after all, he could be regarded as the two children who grew up by his side. Chiyo also understood the personalities of the two children more or less.Chiyo didn't find it strange that Yun was reading there. After all, for this quiet child, the act of reading had already started when he was only 3 years old. (ps: Although I was watching pictures and literacy at the time)

As for Scorpion, anyway, Chiyo doesn't believe that this child has that kind of thought or that he will read books with his heart, just like his own son, who always sneers at the things in books.In Luo's original words, "If you have the time to read, it's better to spend more time proficient in puppetry."

"Since when did Xie like reading as much as your brother?"

But after listening to Chiyo's words, Scorpio's face didn't look any better.

Compared with the advanced books that Yun reads, Xie is only holding a reading book that is slightly more advanced than "Children's Literacy", so there is really nothing to brag about.

"It's nothing to do."

Scorpion wouldn't say that he wanted to catch up because he felt thrown away by the cloud.

"Then, do you want to learn puppetry from grandma?"

For Chiyo's family, the love for puppetry probably runs in their blood. Even Scorpion, who knows nothing about puppetry, saw Chiyo flexibly controlling a small wooden puppet with only one hand. Afterwards, sparks of interest suddenly burst out in the eyes that didn't pay much attention at first.

"elder brother?"

Obviously his eyes were full of curiosity, but Ke Xie resisted his impulse and "asked" the people around him first.

"As the inheritor of the puppet art family, if you don't know the puppet art, you will be laughed at."

Putting down the book in his hand, Yun got up and walked in front of Chiyo, smiling, and said to Chiyo: "Then, I should change my name to Master now."

———————————even the dividing line ———————————

The art of puppetry was created by Monzaemon in the Warring States period, and the line of Chiyo can be regarded as the authentic puppet family that has been passed down all the way.

And precisely because of this, in order to learn this unique puppet art, one must have solid basic skills.

For ordinary ninjas, for the palm, the fine point is the requirement of the fingers, that is, it is enough to ensure the smooth seal.If the requirements are higher, it is just a matter of completing a set of knot seals within a few seconds and being able to perform ninjutsu smoothly.But for the puppeteer, just doing these things is not enough. The puppeteer must control every finger precisely, down to the point of being able to control every joint.To be exaggerated, in order to allow the puppet to perform all kinds of difficult movements, the fingers of the puppeteer must be separated, and each finger can be independently controlled.

But this is a pain for the two beginners. They have to take advantage of their young age and the bones have not yet joined together, so they have to disassemble all the bones of the whole hand, and then use secret methods to reattach them, in order to do it well. Every bone in every section can move independently, laying the foundation for the future development of puppetry.

"How are you feeling?"

Just now the bones in both hands were reattached, because it was a special secret method, now Yun felt that his hands were numb and itchy, and there was a bit of piercing pain, as if there were tens of thousands of ants crawling around, so Yun He was also a little worried about his younger brother. According to Xie's personality, even if he was in pain, Little Roubaozi would not reveal the stuffing inside.

"Ah."

Sure enough, Yun guessed it right, he had already gritted his teeth until his gums were bleeding, but the dead child still held on and refused to say a word about the pain.

"Giving should be consistent with harvest."

Although he didn't point it out, Xie still heard what his brother secretly pointed out.Now that I have suffered so much, if I don't make some achievements in puppetry, I am really sorry for the suffering I have suffered.

It's just that the hands of the two little buns are still recovering, so don't expect to be able to throw out the chakra line, so Chiyo's puppetry teaching is suspended, and Ebizo will give some basic things to the two children first.

Speed, stamina, jumping ability, and many other basic ninja qualities, Ebizo told the two children one by one.

However, although Xie listened carefully, he obviously didn't have much interest in these things. Probably in his heart now, the secret of puppetry is much more important than these things.Yun, on the other hand, showed a strong interest in the many anecdotes and various small battles mentioned by Hai Laozang.

If Chiyo hadn't extracted the two little buns to learn puppetry in the end, I'm afraid Yun would pester Ebino to continue telling stories.

Puppet master, this is a relatively unpopular profession. In the world of ninjas, only Sand Ninja Village still has a puppet master troop of some size.

After the puppet master has reached a high level of practice, he can completely fight against a hundred, and the inhuman puppet machine is also suitable for combat in a harsh climate like the desert.Therefore, after the puppet masters in other places disappeared, Sand Ninja Village specially spent money to keep such a team.

As the master of puppetry, Chiyo, the owner of the authentic puppetry handed down by Monzaemon, naturally treats his two grandsons more strictly than anyone else.

Starting from understanding the production of puppets, joint details, and weapon mechanisms, and deepening the familiarity with the various systems of the human body, the production of poisons, and medical treatment, Chiyo handed over all the relevant things to the two little buns. (It doesn't matter whether two small buns are acceptable or not)

While others were still learning combat knowledge at the ninja school, the two little buns were receiving private education. (As a result, the kid Sayashamaru waited so desperately at the ninja school~~~)

Fortunately, to become a puppet master, although he has high requirements for hands, he doesn't care much about the overall quality of ninjas.As long as the puppet master can reach the physical fitness of an ordinary ninja, that's fine.So the two little buns don't need to do penance-like physical hell training like those ninjas who practice taijutsu, nor do they need to specialize in refining chakra like other ninjas who practice ninjutsu.

For the puppeteer, as long as enough mobility and enough chakra can be guaranteed, even if the physical fitness has been maintained at the level of ninja, it can also be smooth sailing.

But after studying for a period of time, the aptitude of the two little buns became different.

Scorpion is a typical puppeteer, and has a different sensitivity to puppetry.If the ranks of puppet masters are divided into ten levels, Chiyo is as high as nine levels, which belongs to the one-in-a-thousand existence.And Scorpion is the kind of ten-level wizard who is rare in a hundred years and has an extraordinary understanding of puppetry. In Chiyo's words, "My cute little grandson is very likely to become the one who surpassed the predecessor Monzaemon." exist".

But unlike Scorpion, although Yun also learned puppetry well, he only showed a mediocre level, which made Chiyo very helpless.Probably Yun himself understood that his qualifications as a puppet master were not good enough, so he shifted his focus to other aspects, such as learning from Hai Laozang about overall planning and tactical deployment.

————————————————————————————————————————————————

When the two little buns were immersed in their studies at home, the second Ninja World War broke out.

To be honest, everyone expressed dissatisfaction with the results of the first ninja war. The five ninja villages all wanted to win the first ninja war, but the last five ninja villages were tied. Even Konoha's Second Hokage died.

The meaning of Sand Ninja Village is also very clear, because at the end of the first ninja world war, the second generation Kazekage also died of serious injuries due to injuries, and the country of the wind did not get much money during the war, so the wind Ninokuni and Sand Ninja Village were very dissatisfied with the results of the first ninja world war, and they had already been accumulating energy to prepare for the second war.

And Konoha Baiga's killing of the Luo couple became the fuse for Sand Ninja to start the war. (To put it simply, Chiyo was very angry and encouraged the upper management of Sand Ninja to prepare for war.) After nodding and agreeing with the daimyo of the land of wind, the whole village of Sand Ninja Village was mobilized.At the same time, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, who got the news, was unwilling to be lonely, and ordered the Earth Ninja Village to prepare for the war, and the target was also the wealthy Konoha Village.

Konoha, who was being beaten passively, naturally had an internal response to send back news, and made preparations for defense.

While watching, the Land of Water and the Land of Thunder began to prepare for the battle.

In other words, the Second Ninja World War has finally escalated from a small border friction to a major war.

◇

"This is our team?"

Scorpion pouted, seeming very dissatisfied with his current team.

Originally, according to the combat instructions above, puppet masters like Yun and Xie could not be sent in the same team. After all, there are two puppet masters in a team, and the survival rate on the battlefield is pitifully low. Shinobu is willing to lead such a team.

Kexie said, "Dare to try to separate me and my brother", so Chiyo has no choice but to ask someone to arrange a Jonin to take these two difficult children.

"Isn't it nice?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Yun's mouth, as a greeting to his new teammates and captain.

"cut."

Scorpion didn't continue to speak.

The Jonin captain with dark red hair seems to have been told by the above that these two are difficult masters, and they are also high-level children with deep backgrounds, who need to be taken care of carefully.So I didn't care much about the performance of the two brothers. I waved my hand as a greeting, and then said: "Uh, I am your new captain, named Yanhong. He is your teammate, maybe one year younger than you, Call Maki."

That's right, you read that right, it's that Maggie, the leader of Gaara's team, the weird sorghum who covers half of his face all day long, but now he's just a little bun, that's all.

As for the issue of gender, there is no way. Now that the war has begun, you can't really expect to have a standard team of two men and one woman, can you? [shrug]

Ever since, this newly formed team also began to enter the battlefield.
