The fatigue of giving birth and the worries of the past two months have made Water Lily's body very exhausted. The return of Kobayakawa Kazuma made her feel at ease.
When she leaned on Kazuma Kobayakawa's shoulder, Water Lily felt the long-lost sense of security and she quickly fell asleep.
Kazuma Kobayakawa gently put the water lily down, covered it with a quilt, and turned to leave the hospital.
Chapter 44: Fire Escape. Dragon Fire Technique
After meeting Shuilian, Kobayakawa Ichima's next stop is naturally the home of Xiguashan Pig. As the owner of the sword Samehada, Xiguashan Pig is in charge of the intelligence department of the Hidden Mist Village. In terms of status, he is the first person under the Mizukage Yagura.
As early as several months ago, Kobayakawa Kazuma gave 80 ryo to Xiguashan Pigki in order to go to Konoha as a spy after being promoted to Jonin.
Although he is called a spy, when it is announced to the public, he should be the ambassador of Kirigakure, representing Kirigakure Village with full authority and being a symbol of peace and friendship.
In fact, the Kirigakure Embassy was established by the Third Mizukage, and is still secretly carrying out the Third Mizukage's plan.
"You're finally back, Jonin Kobayakawa Kazuma." In the room, the huge body of the Watermelon Mountain Pig Demon sat on a chair, making the chair look extremely mini.
Even Xiguashan Pig Ghost, who had seen the world, felt that Kobayakawa Kazuma's promotion speed was too bizarre. In just over a year, he was promoted from a Genin to a Jonin.
"Senior Xiguashan, when will the task we mentioned earlier be arranged?" Kazuma Kobayakawa asked directly.
"Take my letter and go to Konoha in two months to meet with the senior ninja Juji Naoya. You can take office after handing over the mission to him." Xiguashan Pigmonkey immediately took out a brush and started writing a letter in front of Kobayakawa Kazuma.
Kobayakawa Kazuma accepted the letter in a good mood. With this letter, he would be able to go to Konoha and get the opportunity to contact the Konoha ninjas.
When it comes to the most cherished bloodline limit in the ninja world, we have to look at Konoha.
After visiting the Watermelon Mountain Pig Demon, Kazuma Kobayakawa came to the task settlement office to settle this A-level task.
A-level missions are already high-risk missions in the ninja world, and the bounty is generally between 15 taels and 150 million taels.
"Let me show you." The ninja at the mission settlement office adjusted his glasses and began to search through the mission log.
"Found it." The ninja who was completing the task turned to a page of the log and saw the name of Kazuma Kobayakawa. It was clearly marked: Complete the A-level task and retrieve the lost seal scroll from the Hidden Cloud.
The ninja looked at Kobayakawa Kazuma in surprise. Kobayakawa Kazuma in front of him was only in his early 20s. At such a young age, he had already become a Jonin. He could be said to be a winner in life in the Hidden Mist Village.
You know, including the newly promoted Kobayakawa Kazuma, there are only 13 jonin in the Hidden Mist Village. Each of them is respected and is the mate choice in the minds of countless female ninjas.
"Congratulations, Senior Ninja Mr. Kazuma Kobayakawa." The ninja who settled the mission put the bounty of 120 million taels in a suitcase, filling up the entire suitcase, and then handed it to Kazuma Kobayakawa.
Kazuma Kobayakawa took the money and returned home, where he ate the meal prepared by Mei Terumi and Misato.
After not seeing each other for more than two months, Misato became more dependent on Kazuma Kobayakawa, and she always stuck to Kazuma Kobayakawa.
Another week passed, and Water Lily came back from the hospital. With her baby, she temporarily put aside her ninja life and focused on taking care of the family.
There are still two months before going to Konoha. During this time, Kobayakawa Kazuma did not go on any missions, but instead worked hard to improve his own strength.
Since the completion rate of E-level ninjutsu substitution technique reached 41%, the growth has stagnated again, while the proficiency of clone technique has increased to 40%. The ninjutsu that originally required five seals now only requires two seals to use.
Kobayakawa Kazuma knows his strengths and weaknesses clearly. His vast chakra is enough for him to face even the strongest jonin without losing to them, and his skilled substitution and clone techniques can also play an unexpected role.
However, his offensive skills were still too weak and too simple. He only knew how to use water-style ninjutsu, and when facing experienced jonin, he was easily restrained by earth-style ninjutsu.
After becoming a jonin, the opponents encountered during the mission will be stronger. Under the circumstance that the Crystal Release cannot be exposed, the ninjutsu that Kobayakawa Kazuma currently possesses is no longer enough.
For this purpose, Kazuma Kobayakawa specially visited Ikari Ikuto to learn the B-level ninjutsu Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique from him.
Although Kobayakawa Ichima's main chakra attribute is water, he also has chakras of lightning, fire, and earth attributes, but they have never been developed.
His aptitude was too low before, and he was lucky enough to learn water jutsu. Only now, when his ninja aptitude has been upgraded to C-level, he will think about developing the second chakra attribute.
"Senior Ichihu, I want to learn Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique." Kobayakawa Kazuma gave Ichihu 30 taels of silver and put forward his request during the meal.
Secret techniques are generally not passed on to outsiders, but for a ninjutsu like the Dragon Fire Technique, which is very common, almost any senior ninja with fire-attribute chakra can do it, so Ichito Kujo had no reason to refuse.
"Okay. The Dragon Fire Technique itself is not a precious ninjutsu. You have just become a jonin, so you should learn more types of ninjutsu. This will help you better adapt to the battles of jonin." Ichito Karujutsu agreed. He taught Kobayakawa Kazuma the methods of hand seals and chakra flow.
Kazuma Kobayakawa studied it for a while, and after gaining a general understanding, he went home and practiced it by himself.
As a B-level ninjutsu, the Dragon Fire Technique places more emphasis on power and accuracy. It is a fire technique that is released after highly concentrating chakra. Its attack power is also among the best among the known B-level fire techniques.
However, great power means a long pre-swing period, otherwise, this ninjutsu would be classified as A-level or even S-level.
It is very difficult to re-master a chakra attribute. It took Kobayakawa Kazuma a month to get started with the Dragon Fire Technique, and his completion rate of the ninjutsu reached 1%.
In the evening, Kazuma Kobayakawa was still eating dinner at home. Mei Terumi prepared oden. The family talked and laughed around the stove, and the atmosphere was good.
"Ichima, I'm well now and can sleep with you." Shuilian put the piece of meat into Kobayakawa Ichima's bowl and blinked her eyes gently.
Everyone has desires, and the beautiful ninja Water Lily is no exception. After several months of torture, she has become very dependent on Kobayakawa Kazuma.
Nakamura Misato looked at Shuilian, then looked at Kobayakawa Kazuma, and suggested, "Kazuma is away all year round and it's rare for him to come back. Tonight, Shuilian and I will serve him together."
"I'll listen to you, Misato." Water Lily nodded, her face slightly red, and agreed.
Kobayakawa Kazuma was slightly stunned. He hadn't said anything yet, so how come you two old drivers had already discussed it?
However, Kobayakawa Kazuma didn't mind the little things. As the head of the family, he should talk about the affairs of Konoha.
"Misato, Shuilian, I will go to Konoha for a mission next month. There is a quota for family members on this mission, and I plan to take Ming with me. She can get a better education there." Kobayakawa Kazuma cleared his throat and said suddenly.
Chapter 45 Candy Eating Tutorial
"Are we going on another mission?" Misato looked rather lonely. She put a piece of potato into Kazuma Kobayakawa's bowl, with a hint of tears in her voice.
"I will take good care of the family, Kazuma." Shuilian kissed Kazuma Kobayakawa on the cheek and agreed.
As a ninja, she knew how arduous a ninja's mission was.
Kobayakawa Kazuma held Shuilian in his arms and suggested, "Shuilian, let's use this month to have another child."
"Well, as long as it's for you, I'm willing to have a baby." Water Lily nodded and agreed softly.
At night, Kazuma Kobayakawa, Misato, and Shuilian were in the same room, and the spring atmosphere was intoxicating.
Terumi Mei shed tears of regret again. In order to revive the Terumi clan, Brother Kazuma really paid too much.
But why is it that every time I hear Brother Yizhen screaming in "pain", my heart starts pounding and my body gets hot?
In the last month before leaving Kirigakure, Kobayakawa Kazuma was actively trying to have a baby, but his luck was not very good this time. After a month, he failed to succeed and the system did not send any notification sound indicating that the seeding was successful.
Having a child is like this, it is a metaphysical thing, and very few people can succeed in one go.
In the morning, Kazuma Kobayakawa put on a large backpack, put on the ninja forehead protector belonging to Kirigakure, and left the village with Mei Terumi.
Then, the two went to the port, boarded the official ship of the Hidden Mist Village, and headed for Konoha.
The Third Ninja World War had only been over for a few years, and all the ninja villages were now busy dealing with the post-war mess. Naturally, no one would be so blind as to deliberately cause trouble for the Water Country.
After two weeks of bumpy journey, Kazuma Kobayakawa arrived at Konoha Village again.
There is no fog that covers the village all year round. The sun is bright, the Japanese-style buildings look elegant, and the yellow fallen leaves in autumn surround the village.
Here, Kobayakawa Ichima smelled the breath of freedom. When he came to Konoha, he was temporarily away from the civil war in Kirigakure and gained a great deal of autonomy.
It can be said that as a "diplomat", as long as Kobayakawa Kazuma does not do anything too extreme, Kirigakure and Konoha will not care about him.
Mei Terumi, who has never left the Hidden Mist Village in 18 years, looked at the stalls on the streets of Konoha with shining eyes. There were many things here that she had never seen in the Hidden Mist Village.
"So sour! So sweet!" Mei Terumi held a candied haws in one hand and a candy that looked interesting in the other. She licked each and exclaimed.
Kobayakawa Kazuma was familiar with these two foods. One was of course the candied haws, and the other was the xx candy, a specialty of the Fire Nation. This candy originated from the Fire Nation's unique fertility worship, which is a fine tradition.
"There are certain ways to eat this candy." Seeing that Mei Terumi was about to take a bite, Kazuma Kobayakawa felt a chill throughout his body. It was the fear that came from the male memory.
"Don't eat this candy too hard, and try not to touch your teeth." Kazuma Kobayakawa taught Mei Terumi how to eat the candy.
"Is that so?" Mei Terumi learned how to eat according to Kazuma Kobayakawa's instructions. She brushed her hair back, revealing her fair and slender neck, which almost sparkled with snow-white light in the sun.
The saliva on the candy sparkled in the sun, and coupled with Mei Terumi's slightly red face, it looked like a world-famous painting.
Kazuma Kobayakawa was stunned for a moment. He put his hand on Mei Terumi's head and touched her messy hair.
After walking and stopping along the way, before dark, Kobayakawa Kazuma arrived at the north of Konoha Village, a place far away from the heart of Konoha.
The courtyard covers a large area. After knocking on the door, a woman in a black bathrobe appeared in front of me. She placed her hands on her lower abdomen, leaning forward slightly, bowing at a low angle.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" the woman asked softly.
Mei Terumi was still practicing eating candies. She always felt that the candies in her mouth were jumping, which was a strange feeling.
Kobayakawa Kazuma pointed to the Kirigakure forehead protector and said, "I'll go find Mr. Juji Naoya to take over the task."
The woman was slightly startled, and he made way for Kazuma Kobayakawa, allowing Kazuma Kobayakawa and Mei Terumi to enter the yard.
"Please follow me." The woman led the way, and Kazuma Kobayakawa and Mei Terumi followed each other, crossing the arch bridge with goldfish below.
In the wooden house, Kobayakawa Kazuma saw Juji Naoya kneeling in front of the desk, wearing a bathrobe, practicing calligraphy.
"I'm Kazuma Kobayakawa, a newly promoted jonin this year, and I'm here to take over your mission." Kazuma Kobayakawa took out a letter that he had kept close to his chest and placed it in front of Juuji Naoya.
Juji Naoya put the letter aside, glanced at Kobayakawa Kazuma, extended his hand to welcome him, and said, "Welcome, Kobayakawa Kazuma, you are truly a young and promising jonin."
Kazuma Kobayakawa and Naoya Juji shook hands, and Naoya Juji introduced the mission to Kazuma Kobayakawa.
As a "diplomat", Kazuma Kobayakawa not only needs to find ways to search for various information about Konoha for Kirigakure, but he is also the person in charge of Kirigakure Village.
It can be said that this role is usually more civilian, and only when performing special tasks will he change into ninja clothes. Once upon a time, the person who stole the Three-Tails Sealing Scroll was the "diplomat" of the Hidden Cloud Village and also a Jonin.
"Kazuma Kobayakawa, as a diplomat, in addition to being responsible for negotiations, you also have to learn some food culture. Building good relations with the major ninja clans is your greatest value as a leader. You can be a little unrestrained in doing things, as long as you do not harm the interests of the Hidden Mist Village, the village will do its best to protect you." Juuji Naoya walked out the door. It was already getting late, and Konoha Village was dyed yellow by the sunlight, like an old photo.
After being stationed in Konoha for ten years, Juuji Naoya did not have the opportunity to return to the Hidden Mist Village, and he missed the Hidden Mist Village very much.
"Thank you for the reminder, senior." Kazuma Kobayakawa picked up the scroll and read it again and again. A difficult thing was waiting for him as soon as he arrived.
The cause of the incident was simple. A Chunin from the Kirigakure had some conflicts with the Hyuga clan while on a mission, and was then beaten to death by the clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi, with a gentle fist.
It wasn't a big deal originally, but Kirigakure wanted to find an excuse to attack the Hyuga clan, and it would be best if they could get some benefits from the Hyuga clan.
In the best case scenario, you might get a white eye.
The Byakugan is a blood limit that has extremely strong observation ability and can influence the outcome of a battle. It is of great use to the major ninja villages, and many ninja villages dream of getting a pair of Byakugan.
However, the Hyuga clan also attaches great importance to the protection of the Byakugan. Over the years, not a single Byakugan has ever left Konoha.
