Chapter 7 Divination is also a secret art(1/2)
They actually didn't fight for long.
Xie Mao didn't pay attention to Kaoru Ishigaki who ran down and Kyū Iwasa who came over. He looked down at his arms that couldn't stop trembling slightly, and the fighting spirit in his heart became even higher.
Fighting like this freely, fiercely and nervously is more exciting than playing any game.
Fighting with people is like the most direct and brutal sports competition. The desire for victory will penetrate into the bones of the fighter little by little. The danger of always walking on the blade is like extreme sports without protection. Every successful victory
Challenges will make your adrenaline rush.
"It turns out that fighting is so to my liking." Xie Mao felt as if he had an extra nature.
Too excited to contain myself.
"Hoo~" Soon, Xie Mao exhaled a long breath to calm down the agitation in his heart.
There's no need for him to get too excited.
The battle between him and Iwasa Shu was just a mere novice pecking each other. At least, let’s break out the champagne and be excited about defeating a truly powerful enemy with a real name in the future.
That can't be done just by talking about it.
He needs strength.
This is the most important thing to survive in the ninja world. There is no need to explain it. The weak are not qualified to have a choice in the ninja world.
When Xie Mao was thinking, his face looked particularly gloomy. Kaoru Ishigaki, who had just run down, was so frightened that he hesitated for a while before he carefully said: "Scorpion Lord?"
"It's just a simple discussion." Xie Mao retracted his attention and said calmly. After giving Ishigaki Kaoru a reassuring look, he looked at Iwasa Shu who was walking towards him.
"Yes, it's just a discussion." Iwasa Xiu returned to his sleepy look and said to Hache,
"Nice to meet you, Scorpion."
At least open your eyes... Xie Mao didn't say anything and pretended to be an expert, and just nodded slightly.
Iwasa Shu turned his head to say hello to Ishigaki Kaoru, then turned around and left with his dissatisfied younger brother.
This is the end.
After the two of them walked further away, Xie Mao asked: "Is Iwasa Xiu always like this?"
"Eh?"
Kaoru Ishigaki next to him was stunned for a moment: "Brother Iwasa, you used to be very enthusiastic."
Xie Mao nodded gently, gave up his curiosity to continue asking, and turned his head and asked: "What personal items did you take?"
"Can I use my father's hat to cover the sand?" Kaoru Ishigaki took out a large hood with a white color overall.
"Um."
Xie Mao looked at the sun to estimate the time and said, "Go to that ninja's house now. The forehead protector is kept there, right?"
"Uh-huh!"
The two set off immediately. The ninja uncle Ishigaki Kaoru mentioned was called Ichimukui. He lived in a place with a better environment and was a chuunin who was very respected by Ishigaki Kaoru.
"Is Uncle Ichiki really at home today?" Kaoru Ishigaki only considered this question at the end of the day.
"Believe in divination." Xie Mao prefers to receive feedback from Ishigaki Kaoru earlier to see the performance and digestion progress of his own system.
"oh oh."
After comforting Ishigaki Kaoru, Xie Mao recalled the battle just now.
In terms of taijutsu, he suffered a slight disadvantage due to his age, but in a short period of time, he could compete with Iwasa Shu. However, in areas other than taijutsu, such as the most important ninjutsu, Xie Mao was far behind.
You can't blame him for this, he is still familiar with the use of chakra, and ninjutsu is the plan later.
Ninjutsu is much cooler than taijutsu.
Except for Eight Gate Dunjia.
Kaoru Ishigaki suddenly shouted: "Scorpion-kun."
Xie Mao looked over.
"Is Mr. Scorpion a student of the Ninja School?" Kaoru Ishigaki asked.
I graduated last year... Xie Mao didn't want to lie, nor did he want to scare Kaoru Ishigaki by telling the truth, so he asked, "What?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that Mr. Scorpion is very powerful. Unlike me, I don't have the talent of a ninja." Ishigaki Kaoru lowered his head and said.
"Don't you have any talent?"
Xie Mao recalled that along the way, it was difficult for him to see the smiles of passers-by. He said with emotion: "Is it better to be an ordinary person who goes with the flow, or a ninja who lives and dies?"
Ishigaki Kaoru thought about it seriously: "I don't know... do ninjas have to be beaten to death?"
"Because every village and every big country wants to live a better life, even if it costs human lives, they are eager to grab more."
Xie Mao would talk more in front of Kaoru Ishigaki, a friend he had just met. He said calmly: "The ninjas in the village will definitely go to the battlefield. Even the Kazekage will face the test of life and death, let alone other ninjas."
Kaoru Ishigaki bit his lower lip slightly: "...Is that so?"
"Not being able to become a ninja is not necessarily a bad thing." Xie Mao thought of the future era of Minzu, when there would be no large-scale wars, at least for a long time.
But before that, how many ninjas will have to sacrifice their lives to create peace?
So Xie Mao continued: "One day, we will usher in peace. It may be a world where even ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment."
After hearing this, Kaoru Ishigaki blinked, raised his head slightly and looked at Xie Mao's pretty side face. After looking at it with his eyes wide open for a while, he asked, "Is this a prophecy from a fortune teller?"
Kaoru Ishigaki's little face was a bit dull and yellow due to lack of nutrition, but this made her eyes as bright as stars in the night sky.
Xie Mao looked at these eyes and was stunned for a moment before saying, "You can understand it this way."
From Ishigaki Kaoru's eyes, he read the expectations and hopes, as well as the caution that could not bear to have his dreams broken.
Where there are people, there will always be disputes. Even if there are no more wars in the future, the differences between ninjas and ordinary people, the gap caused by class, etc., will continue to cause disputes.
However, it is still better than war.
Back to reality, Sunagakure Village is a great ninja village, and the possibility of the villagers surviving the Ninja World War is not small. If you stay calm, there is a high chance that you will die one day.
At least let's all live well.
"Thank you, I feel a lot more at ease." Ishigaki Kaoru said with a smile, as if he really took Xie Mao's words as a prophecy.
The brats in this world are so precocious... Xie Mao nodded slightly in response, and then two lines of small words suddenly popped up in front of his eyes:
[Performance completion: 0.6%]
[Digestion progress: 0.15%]
Is this okay? But with this little progress, who is going to waste it?
Xie Mao was quite dissatisfied, but Kaoru Ishigaki had no intention of chatting anymore, so Xie Mao couldn't continue to pluck wool, so the two of them arrived at Ichimokui's home quietly.
As a chuunin who successfully survived the battlefield and brought back important information, Ichimukui's economic conditions were pretty good and he lived in an independent stone house.
Ishigaki Kaoru stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a man with a somewhat ferocious appearance and a scar on his left face wearing casual clothes opened the door and walked out to see the guest: "Xiao Kaoru?"
After saying hello, he saw Xie Mao who was accompanying Kaoru Ishigaki at the same time. His gaze lingered for a moment before he smiled and said, "Hey, did you bring your boyfriend here?"
"Uncle Ichiki, what are you talking about!" Ishigaki Kaoru hurriedly denied, "His name is Scorpion, and he is a friend."
"Scorpion?" Yimu Kui looked at Xie Mao up and down unexpectedly, and after a while he suddenly realized, "You are not the genius grandson of Consultant Qianyo, are you?"
Ishigaki Kaoru blinked in confusion.
"..." Xie Mao glanced at Yi Mukui, then looked at Ishigaki Kaoru, "Let's talk about it."
Yimu Kui seemed to have reacted, and said with a smile: "Haha, yes, Xiaoxun, why did you come to see your uncle today?"
Xie Mao looked at Yi Mukui, who was standing motionless at the door, a little surprised.
Wouldn't this person invite them in to have a chat over tea?
The simple-minded Kaoru Ishigaki didn't think much about it. Just like when she saw someone who could do divination and had the courage to communicate, she just asked him here: "Uncle Ichiki, I want to get my father's forehead protector back."
"I told you so."
Yi Mukui said helplessly: "I put all the forehead protectors of my companions together, and I can't tell who belongs to them anymore."
"I know, that's why I invited Mr. Scorpion." Ishigaki Kaoru's voice was slightly louder.
Yimu Kui turned his eyes in confusion and said hesitantly: "...Xie, do you know any secret skills?"
"That's right." Xie Mao raised his eyes and looked at Yi Mukui. He was only about ten centimeters taller than him, but very strong. Just looking at his arms, they were probably five times as thick as him.
Ishigaki Kaoru blinked again but said nothing.
"...I understand, please come in."
Ichimukui stepped aside, Kaoru Ishigaki walked into the house first, and Xie Mao followed leisurely.
As a person who lives alone, things in Yimu Kui's home are arranged quite casually, but they are understandable.
The three of them entered the hall. Ichimukui motioned for Xie Mao and Ishigaki Kaoru to sit down and made them a drink that looked a bit like coffee.
"Although it's said to be a secret technique, are you really sure about it, Xie?" Yimu Kui asked Xie Mao instead of grabbing the forehead protector he snatched back from the battlefield.
"Well, you'll understand after seeing it." If divination is turned into a secret technique, the ninjas will be much more accepting of it.
To be continued...
