The first snow of the winter came late, but it was heavy. Overnight, everything in sight was dyed white. As the sky gradually brightened, the flying snowflakes had stopped, but there was still no sign of clearing up. It seemed that when the temperature dropped a little more, it would start snowing again.
Although the weather is getting colder, Shuimu's home is still warm as spring. After being influenced by modern technology and accustomed to the convenience of warm winter and cool summer, how can I let myself be tortured by cold air again? Maybe a few months ago, I was still limited by my strength and means and could not bring myself coolness in the summer, but now, it is still easy to keep my home warm.
It is very possible to make convenient civilian appliances with the technological level of the ninja world. Even if it is difficult, it is not difficult to use ninja methods to deal with it. However, many household appliances that are obviously very popular in the market are not seen on the market at all. In a large conference and reception building with the highest level in Konoha, Mizuki has also seen a system similar to central air conditioning that is unique to the ninja world. With such capabilities, but not thinking about miniaturization as civilian equipment, it is really a waste of resources.
Shuimu woke up to the sound of children playing outside the window. For children, snow is a rare opportunity to play snowballs, but for adults who need to go out, it is not such a wonderful feeling.
Shuimu got up early, prepared breakfast, and called Xiaochun to get up. Recently, Xiaochun was getting more and more sleepy, so Shuimu gradually took over the job of making breakfast. Practice has proved that Shuimu still has a little talent as a chef. Except for the taste, the food he made is still edible.
It was a rare warm breakfast time, but Shuimu felt a little reluctant as he thought about having to go out soon.
"Hey, Shuimu, I've read a lot of popular novels recently, and there's something strange about them!"
"Strange?" Shuimu took a bite of the slightly burnt toast and said vaguely.
"Basically, as long as the protagonist of a book is a great hero, he or she can overcome all difficulties with perseverance and spirit, and no matter good or bad, he or she will be understood in the end, and then respected and loved. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it always feels a bit strange that the popular ones are all of the same type."
"It's not just the same category, there's also the 'Intimate Paradise' series!"
Mizuki answered nonchalantly, his entire attention focused on enduring the inedible breakfast.
"I'm talking to you about something serious!" Xiao Chun said a little dissatisfied.
"I know." Shuimu has some experience on how to communicate with people who have some ideas.
"Generally speaking, the inability to obtain something is the concentrated embodiment of people's wishes. It is not surprising that heroic biographical novels are so popular." Shuimu talked freely and was not at all stumped by such a small matter.
Mizuki's answer was not very clear. Xiaochun thought for a while, then asked, "What do you mean?"
"There are too many people suffering and not enough heroes."
Mizuki's teasing words immediately made Xiaochun burst out laughing.
"Is this how you view ordinary civilians in the ninja world? We were also children of ordinary people before!"
"It's not my opinion, but it's the truth. Overemphasizing the role of the spirit just shows that there is no good way to save the world in reality."
Although not all ordinary people live in dire straits, it is also true that most of them do not live well. As a background for ninjas, it is not uncommon for villages to be massacred, bandits to extort money, and wandering ninjas to cause trouble. In some places, there is also an indiscriminate hatred of ninjas, and ordinary people may not be able to distinguish between rebel ninjas and official ninjas of the ninja village.
"You're so lucky to live in Konoha! Mizuki, do you want to be a hero too?"
"Every boy has thought about it when he was a child!" Shuimu replied with a smile.
"And now?"
"When I grew up, I realized that being a hero is dangerous. If you die, you'll be a martyr. I don't want to be a martyr."
"Does that mean the heroic dream still exists? That people have become more sophisticated? How cunning!"
"I've already said it, this isn't cunning, this is wit!"
…
After breakfast, Mizuki came to the Hyuga family's mansion. It was Hyuga Ke who was still receiving him at the door in the cold wind.
"Sorry for the wait."
Mizuki greeted them, and then, under the guidance of Hinata Ko, they came to the detached house that they had visited several times.
This time, no Hyuga clan members were seen practicing gentle fist in the courtyard. Many servants were shoveling snow and cleaning the courtyard.
“The heavy snow is really a nuisance!”
Shuimu Leng couldn't stop complaining. The cold wind in the corridor was also very uncomfortable.
Hinata Ke in front pushed open the exquisite door, and a warm air came over. Hinata Hiashi was already waiting inside.
"Long time no see, Hyuga clan leader."
Mizuki walked over and sat down opposite Hinata Hiashi.
"Our eldest daughter Hinata has made great progress under the guidance of Teacher Mizuki, and she has yet to express her gratitude!"
"You're overpraising me. I didn't really play a big role. It's all because of Hinata's extraordinary talent."
Shuimu was not being polite, but he really felt that it had little to do with him.
"You're too modest. At least Hinata now looks more like a ninja than before, rather than an overly kind-hearted young lady."
Mizuki smiled politely and said nothing more. Hinata had already decided to make his second daughter Hanabi his heir and had long since given up hope on his eldest daughter Hinata. He was just saying some polite words to Mizuki out of a father's concern for his daughter.
After the opening remarks, Hyuga Hiashi continued in a serious tone: "Regarding the Byakugan, a lot of research results have been provided to us. The Hyuga family is very grateful for the contribution of Mizuki Jonin."
“This is what I should do.”
Shuimu nodded and replied, it’s just a transaction, everyone gets what they need, it’s good for everyone.
"However, I have a big question about the Byakugan now, and I would like to hear the opinion of Mizuki Jonin."
"Oh? What is it?"
"I have some concerns about the Byakugan's evolution method!" Hinata Hiashi paused for a moment, then said, "Mizuki Jonin once said that forcibly increasing a large amount of chakra, or superimposing similar Byakugan, can generate a Samsara eye that is higher than the Byakugan. We have no objection to this speculation, and most of the elders of the family are also more inclined to this possibility."
"Since you all agree with my research results, what else is there?"
"It's a big problem." Hyuga Hiashi seemed a little hesitant. "Although these things should not be known to Mizuki Jonin, and exposing one's own family shame is not a good thing, but this does require a non-Hyuga clan member to give some advice."
