Chapter 12 Prequel Mission 1: Jumping on the Ancestor's Head
Recently, Konoha is undergoing massive reconstruction, and the new territory where the Uchiha clan moved was located in a remote area and was not affected, so people can move in right away. Only a few houses, such as where the clan leader lives, may need to be expanded.
Zhenyan was alone, so he packed some daily necessities and moved into his new home.
After settling down in his new home, Zhenyan took advantage of the construction boom and asked someone to help build a wooden house next to the carrot field.
After the wooden house was built, Shingon wanted to hire two villagers to guard the radish field. However, when they heard that they would be on duty for a long time, they all said that they did not have time. Shingon then asked several ninjas in the village, but when they heard that it was a long-term mission, they all refused...
Zhenyan was worrying about where to hire someone, and he happened to see two groups of people fighting next to his carrot field. One of the groups had three people, each wearing a mask, so their appearance could not be seen clearly. The other group had only one person, who was holding a big knife and looked very brave. He was not at a disadvantage even if he was fighting one against three. The most important thing was that this big man with a knife could actually spray water...
When Zhenyan saw it, his eyes immediately lit up. This skill was perfect for watering the ground!
Soon, the three masked men were repelled, and a long-haired little loli ran out from behind a big tree and said to the swordsman, "Master Zaibuzhan, are you okay?"
Zabuza did not respond, but glanced coldly in the direction of Zhenyan.
Zhenyan walked over with a smile and greeted Zabuza: "Hello, hero, are you willing to take the mission?"
In response, the swordsman swung his arm, and the sword appeared in front of him, blocking his progress.
Zhenyan stopped where he was, tilted his head and looked at Zabuza: "Master, do you want to hear the terms of treatment first?"
No one in Konoha was willing to take his job, and he finally met a stranger passing by. Shingen wanted to keep him even if he had to pay him more.
As a ninja, Zabuza had already observed Shingo from head to toe. When he saw the Uchiha clan emblem on Shingo's clothes, he guessed Shingo's identity. Shingo was just a ninja who defected after failing to assassinate the Mizukage. He had previously fled to the vicinity of Konoha Village because he was hunted down by the Anbu sent by the Mizukage.
Although the pursuers were temporarily repelled by him, his crisis was not resolved. He did not want to cause trouble at this time and provoke the ninjas of Konoha, so he said, "Don't go any further, kid."
After that, he turned to the little Loli beside him and said, "Let's go, Bai."
The little Lolita named Bai looked at Zhenyan curiously again, and then followed Zabuza who had left earlier.
Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Zhenyan couldn't help feeling regretful. If he couldn't hire anyone else, he wanted to move to the radish field himself.
Thinking about this, Zhenyan returned to the radish field and pulled a few radishes. He planned to visit the Four Generations' home again after returning to the village to reconnect with them and prepare to complete the system mission.
Shingon was carrying radishes back to the village and met the Third Hokage on the way.
"Master, have you eaten?" Zhenyan greeted him out of habit. "I have harvested the radishes I planted. I will send you some later. As the saying goes, eat radishes in winter and ginger in summer. The weather is about to get colder, so you should pay more attention to your health."
The Third Hokage: “…………”
After a few pleasantries, Shingen said goodbye to the Third Hokage and went to the Fourth Hokage's house as he knew the way. This time he finally saw Naruto with his bright eyes. His eyes were blue, the same color as the sky, and he was very beautiful.
Before leaving, Kushina wanted to keep Shingen for dinner, but Shingen said, "I'll definitely do it next time. I promised Aunt Mikoto that I would go back for dinner."
Since Uchiha Mikoto found out that Shingen always ate out, she invited him to her house for dinner. Shingen did not refuse, but would buy some small toys for Sasuke from time to time.
Recently, Sasuke has been babbling all the time and seems to be starting to learn to speak. Thinking about this, Shinon bought a rattle on the way back.
Itachi was practicing shuriken in the yard. When he saw Shingon coming, he stopped. Shingon looked at the target on the wall, and every shuriken hit the bull's eye.
"Amazing!" Shinon turned to Itachi again, "How did Itachi do that?"
If this guy were to participate in the Olympics, he would definitely be the shooting champion!
Itachi blinked, his eyes turned red, and a magatama pattern appeared at the same time: "Sharingan can assist observation and see tiny details clearly."
"Then can it be used as a microscope?" Shingon also wanted to open the Sharingan, but when he thought of the conditions Itachi mentioned, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's my fault for being too optimistic..."
Itachi: “…………”
The next day, Shingon came to Itachi again: "Itachi, I have an idea."
"What method?" Itachi asked doubtfully.
"I want to go bungee jumping. Maybe the stimulation will open my eyes." This is the idea that Zhenyan came up with. "Itachi, do you know where the terrain is higher and more empty?"
Itachi: “…”
Itachi felt that Shingon's method was unreliable, but he was afraid that if he didn't help, Shingon would hurt him, so he had no choice but to follow along.
Finally, the two came to the Valley of the End outside Konoha Village. There are two huge statues in the Valley of the End, one is the former Uchiha clan leader Uchiha Madara, and the first Hokage Senju Hashirama. In the middle of the two statues, there is a waterfall pouring down from a high place, all the way to the Nanga River below, flowing to the distance...
Shingen looked up at the two statues. He felt that this place not only had beautiful scenery, but also had the cultural characteristics of Konoha. If it was developed, it might become a good tourist attraction and generate income for Konoha.
However, according to his understanding, the cultural and entertainment industry in the ninja world is very poor, and his plan may not be realized in a short period of time, but he can write it down first...
Retracting his gaze, Shingon looked at Itachi again: "What do the gestures of those two statues mean?"
He had never attended any ninja school, and to some extent, he was illiterate about ninjutsu.
"That's the seal of opposition, which ninjas must make before sparring with each other." Itachi explained, and looking at the curious Shinon, he explained one more sentence, "After the sparring, they must also make the corresponding seal of reconciliation."
"What does the seal of reconciliation look like?" Zhenyan asked.
Itachi stretched out his two hands, with the index and middle fingers of each hand raised, and the other three fingers clasped together, which was the hand gesture of the seal of opposition, and then he put his two hands together: "This is the seal of reconciliation."
Zhenyan nodded and said, "It's a bit like shaking hands."
Next, Shingon climbed onto the statue of his ancestor Uchiha Madara. After looking around, he tied one end of the rope to the ancestor's frizzy hair, tied the other end to himself, and then stood on the ancestor's bangs...
Zhenyan thought the feng shui of this location was very good, so he decided to jump on the head of his ancestor...
Before jumping, Zhenyan made a wish in his heart: "Ancestors, please bless me and let me open my eyes smoothly!"
