Chapter 205: New World to which Lucky Money and Kakashi go
Chapter 205 New Year's Money and Kakashi's New World
In the corridor on the second floor outside the villa.
"Brother, this looks really good."
Ichihime placed the crystal in the air, emitting beautiful colorful light.
Asuka, who was only three years old, was immediately attracted by the beautiful light emitted by the crystal.
"so beautiful."
Asuka looked excitedly at the transparent crystal in the hands of his younger sister Ichihime, eager to get the crystal in his eyes. It was the first time he saw such a beautiful thing.
"Actually, brother, the crystal represents the family love that never fades."
Ichihime put down the crystal in her hand, and spoke nonsense to her brother Asuka in a serious manner.
"Never fade...Family?"
Although Asuka didn't know what was going on inside, he thought it was amazing.
Seeing what Asuka wanted, Kazuhime asked seriously, "Do you want it, brother?"
"Yes, I want it. How about I trade the snacks my dad bought for you, Ichihime?"
Asuka said so.
As he said that, he was going to exchange his treasured snacks with Yi Ji.
“I have no interest in snacks.”
Yiji replied lightly.
Asuka immediately became disappointed.
"However, Mom and Dad gave you a lot of lucky money a while ago, right?"
Yiji changed the subject and pretended to ask casually.
"New Year's money?"
Asuka tilted her head in confusion, then remembered something, and took out a stack of banknotes from her pocket.
Each one is a paper note with a denomination of 10,000 taels. There are more than 20 tickets in total, all of which are brand new.
This is already a huge sum of money for a child over three years old.
"Is that all?"
"No, there are still a lot in the piggy bank, which were given to me by my parents in the past. Do you like this kind of things that you can't eat or play with?"
Asuka felt that his younger sister Kazuki was very strange.
What is the appeal of this kind of waste paper that looks neither edible nor playable?
However, Asuka also knew that if he wanted to get the sparkling crystal in his younger sister Yiji's hand, he had to exchange it with the so-called lucky money.
"If you give me all those, I'll give you this crystal."
"OK."
Asuka nodded obediently, ran into the room, and took out his golden beckoning cat piggy bank.
There are not only a lot of ten thousand taels of banknotes in it, but also a lot of coins, so Asuka walked with great difficulty holding the piggy bank.
Taking out the money inside, Yiji roughly counted it, and it should be more than one million taels.
"Come on, brother, sign the contract."
Yiji took out a piece of white paper full of words and a signature pen.
"contract?"
Asuka was full of question marks.
What is a contract? I can only recognize some of the characters on the white paper, but I don't know most of them.
The characters he can recognize and write are only his own name and a very small number of simple fonts.
I always feel that the above content is unclear.
"Just sign your name on this place, and this shiny, beautiful crystal is yours."
Glittering...beautiful...Thinking of this, Asuka took the signature pen handed over by Kazuhime without hesitation, and crookedly signed the name 'Uchiha Asuka' on the corresponding position.
"Brother, this crystal belongs to you from now on. The crystal represents the never-fading brother-sister relationship between the two of us, you must keep it in your heart."
"Yes, I see, Ichihime."
Asuka took the crystal that radiated beautiful light, held it happily, and ran to play by herself.
Yiji watched Asuka throwing the crystal away, with a slight hook of the corner of her mouth, picked up the contract and the piggy bank and walked towards her room.
On the other side, Asuka rushed to the study with the crystal.
"Daddy, Daddy."
Pushing open the door of the study, Asuka began to call.
In front of Shiraishi was a desktop computer, as well as several books and scrolls, and he was sorting out the recently obtained information.
Hearing Asuka's call, he put down his work and turned to look at him.
"What's the matter, Asuka?"
Hold Asuka in his arms and sit on his lap.
"Look at this, it's so shiny and beautiful!"
Asuka showed the crystal to Shiraishi, as if showing off his treasure.
"So Asuka, you like this kind of thing."
Shiraishi smiled unexpectedly.
Girls like shiny things more.
"Yes, this is called a crystal, and it was given to me by Ichihime."
Asuka said.
"Well, Yiji really likes you."
Shiraishi smiled, feeling happy for the harmony between the siblings.
Although the crystal in Asuka's hand was just a cheap crystal worth one hundred taels, it was not a rare valuable item.
But this represents Kazuhime's respect for her elder brother Asuka, and it is not something that can be simply measured by money.
"Yeah, I just took some useless waste paper, and Yiji gave me the crystal."
Asuka nodded.
"Waste paper?"
"It's lucky money."
Asuka looked at his father Baishi and smiled innocently.
"... Asuka, tell me honestly, how much did you give Yiji?"
Baishi felt that the smile on his face was about to fade away, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"All, I gave all the New Year's money to Yiji. Yiji said that this crystal represents the never-fading brother-sister relationship between me and her."
Asuka puffed out her chest proudly.
"..."
Then the brother-sister relationship between you is really cheap, what kind of nonsense did Liuli teach Yiji? Bai Shi complained in his heart.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"nothing."
Shiraishi shook his head.
It seems necessary in the future to let Asuka learn about coins in advance.
Otherwise, his New Year's money and pocket money may be cheated by Yiji in the future.
"Dad, let's go out and make a snowman."
Asuka said again at this time.
Jumped out of Shiraishi's embrace, and pulled Shiraishi's palm.
Baishi thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
The new year has not passed long, and the weather is still a bit cold in this season.
The weather is not a clear sky, but the milky white sky, with fine snow falling, looks brighter.
The courtyard was covered with deep snow, and Lei Mingmaru lay lazily in the pet house, with his head exposed, shaking his head occasionally to shake off the snow on the top of his head and the one horn.
There are stoves for heating inside and outside the pet house, so Lei Mingwan will not feel cold in this weather.
While lazily licking the paw of one of its forelimbs, its movements are as lively as a little black dog, while looking at Baishi who is building a snowman with Asuka in the yard.
"What a peaceful scene."
It’s just a sentimental feeling. Compared with fighting, Lei Mingwan prefers to lie motionless in one place and bask in the sun, watching the scenery and the changing scenes of the years.
It's just that he also knows that such peaceful days don't always exist.
Therefore, it cherishes the peaceful time now.
Because in the near future, they may have to go outside to make a big fuss.
"Yeah?"
The immature and cold voice rang in his ears, making Lei Mingwan's body tremble subconsciously.
It turned its head and saw a girl about the same age as Asuka.
There are two soaring braids on her head, wearing cold-proof clothes, and holding a heavy book in her arms.
The name of the book is "On How to Rise Quickly to the First Pot of Gold in Life".
"Miss, what are you doing here?"
Lei Mingwan knew that Kazuhime could not be recognized by common sense.
Born with a chakra that is close to the level of a tailed beast, as well as a three-god jade sharing sharing eye, it can only be described by the word 'monster'.
Although he was too young to control the power in his body and was sealed by Shiraishi with a sealing technique, Lei Mingmaru still felt that Kazuhime was a dangerous person.
Not just the level of power, but also another level, which is also very scary.
"I've run out of snacks, do you still have some here?"
"..."
For Lei Mingmaru, Ichihime's bad behavior of ignoring its wishes and snatching its snacks and territory is more dangerous than her own strength.
Just like its wicked father.
Sure enough, they are father and daughter.
Next time the pet house should be made smaller.
However, if the pet house is small, it cannot store a lot of delicious snacks in it, nor can it roll around in the pet house.
"Let me tell you first, I don't have many here. Really, why do you all come to my place to grab something to eat?"
Lei Mingwan complained, and took the initiative to make room for Yiji to lie down to read books and eat snacks.

Wuyin Village, in the Water Shadow Building.
Yakura opened the door and saw Mizukage Mitsukage working in the office.
Although she was sitting upright and working, the wrinkles and fatigue between her brows could not be covered up.
Yakura can clearly feel that aging.
The willpower and strength of the third generation are weakening.
Many things have been out of reach. The daimyos and nobles of the water country have taken advantage of the situation, and the blood mist faction in the village has gradually grown. Now, it is no longer a question of whether to pull it out, but the determination of a strong man must be determined to completely erase those people from the village.
Wrong time, wrong countermeasures, and Wuyin Village’s development funds have been restrained by the daimyo and nobles of the land of water. This situation did not happen overnight, but a premeditated plan by the daimyos and nobles.
"Is it Yakura?"
Third Mizukage asked without raising his head.
"it's me."
"Did something happen again?"
"Konoha Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato sent a letter, hoping to establish good diplomatic relations with us Kirigakure."
Yakura walked towards Mizukage Mizukage, took out an official letter from Konoha from his bosom, and put it in front of Mizukage Mizukage.
"Let's put this aside for now."
Mizukage Mizukage didn't even glance at the letter.
The newly appointed Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato needs enough political achievements to allow him to have the right to speak in Konoha, but Kirigakure is too busy to take care of himself now, so he has no time to establish diplomatic relations with Konoha.
Besides, the internal situation of Kirigakure must not be known by other villages.
Wuyin's high-level leaders are seriously at odds, and they must maintain a consistent rhythm on the surface, so that outsiders cannot see the flaws.
Establishing a good diplomatic relationship with Konoha at this time is by no means a good thing for Kirigakure.
"Yes. But the third generation should also write a letter to reply, so as not to let Konoha see the flaw."
"Of course I understand this."
How to reply to Konoha, without being seen as a flaw, Mizukage Mizukage already has a draft, so there is no need for Yagura to point fingers.
"In addition, regarding the selection of the fourth Mizukage, there has been a growing appeal in the village recently. Please prepare for this."
Yakura lowered his head and said such a sentence in a very calm tone.
Sandai Mizukage paused, sighed, and nodded helplessly.
No matter how much pressure Mizukage puts on him, he is already at this age, and it is indeed time for him to give way to Mizukage.
"Delay as much as possible, I still need a little time."
"yes."
Yagura withdrew from the office after saying these things.
Even if the third generation of Mizukage procrastinates, the candidate for the fourth generation of Mizukage must be determined within this year.
"Snowing."
Walking in the corridor of the Mizukage Building, Yakura stopped and stood by the window, watching the snow falling outside, and suddenly sighed.
"Yes. But thanks to the snow, the smell of blood in the village has been washed away."
Behind Yagura, a ninja wearing Kirigakure Anbe's costume stood there at some point.
Although there is a mask on her face, judging from her figure and voice, she is a young woman.
Yagura nodded by default.
Only at this time, the **** smell in Wuyin Village will be covered up, allowing people to breathe clean and refreshing air.
"Speaking of which, the third generation's health is getting worse and worse recently, and they often fall asleep unconsciously in the office alone."
The female Anbu said intentionally or unintentionally.
"After all, I am getting old and lack the vigor of my youth. This is a matter of course. It seems that the secrecy practiced by Mr. Nidaime Onito Genzuki is not necessarily a bad thing. Thanks to this, the villages in Konoha don't know much about Kirigakure today."
Yakura sighed.
"It seems that the candidate for the fourth generation Mizukage is not far away."
The female Anbu understood something and nodded.
This also means that Kirigakure will usher in a **** battle that will spread to the whole village in the near future, and it is estimated that the entire country of water will also be affected.
"Before that, we must first remove the remaining hidden dangers to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan. Let me handle the third generation, and leave the rest of the high-level movements to your people."
"yes."
"Is there any movement on the watermelon mountain puffer ghost?"
Compared to the rest of the high-level executives, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the owner of the big sword shark muscle, Xiguashan Puffer Ghost, is one of the most troublesome people.
The other Seven Ninja Swordsmen are entangled under their hands, and they hold great power in Wuyin Village.
The female Anbu thought for a while and replied: "His behavior is a bit strange recently, and he seems to be in contact with some unidentified ninjas."
"Unidentified ninja?"
Yakura frowned.
"Exactly."
"Can't identify those people?"
"No. According to the information of the informant, the Xiguashan puffer ghost is very cautious, and the mysterious ninja who comes into contact with the Xiguashan puffer ghost is also very cautious."
"Continue to follow up, I must know which side the mysterious ninjas who came into contact with the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost belong to."
"I see."
"Go on. Next, I'm going to announce the selection items for the fourth generation of Mizukage."
"So fast?"
"No, it's just done within this year. To prevent the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost from jumping over the wall, stabilize him first. Before dealing with the Blood Mist faction, I still need to make some preparations."
Yagura said.
The female Anbe understood and disappeared from behind Yakura.
◎
Because of Konoha's Anbe power, she is tilting towards the pregnant Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina, and many Junin also try to minimize the chance of going out to stabilize the defense of Konoha Village.
Based on this situation, Shiraishi temporarily gave up the purpose of using Takigakure to contain Konoha.
Now Konoha's high-level attention is focused on Uzumaki Kushina. Before the other party gives birth smoothly, Shiraishi doesn't need to worry about Konoha attacking him.
Spring goes to summer solstice, and the time comes to June.
Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kushina, who was living in a single-family villa, could not hide her belly growing. Everyone knew that her stomach was pregnant with a fresh little life.
Kushina, who was able to go out a while ago, was gradually restricted from going out as her belly got bigger.
Around her residence, there are five classes of Anbu, a total of twenty elite ninjas to protect her personal safety.
Among the twenty elite Anbu, there are not a few strong Jnin like Kakashi, and the rest are also outstanding Chunin and Special Jnin masters with special ninjutsu.
For a protection force of this level, it is not a simple matter to break in and threaten the safety of Kushina himself.
Twenty elite Anbu, even if they mobilize an elite force of 500 Chunin, they may not be able to win.
Besides, the last line of defense is Konoha's Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato himself.
A ninja with a yellow flash name.
Its speed is better than the fourth generation of Raikage who is the second fastest in the ninja world.
Even defeated the united Fourth Raikage and his foster brother Riki Rabbi head-on. With such a ninja as the last line of defense to protect Kushina's Anbu, he didn't think anyone could break in.
Twenty Anbu ninjas took turns, lurking around the mansion.
The Anbu team led by Kakashi is in charge during the day, and another Anbu team will take over at night.
In order to facilitate work, Konoha executives rented several houses in the apartments near Kushina’s residence, allowing these Anbu to live temporarily. Even when they are resting, if there is an emergency, they can rush to the scene quickly to protect Kushina’s safety.
It can be said that the high-rises surrounded this place so tightly that no one could take advantage of it.
Including the Fourth Hokage himself, it can be said that it is foolproof.
When carrying out the protection task, Kakashi felt very boring, but as Anbu, Kakashi still carried out this task seriously with a 100% attitude.
As for the rest of Anbu, they couldn't see their expressions due to the masks on their faces, but Kakashi could feel that the expressions of these people were a little relaxed.
There is no way, because just staring at every move around, for several months, there is no abnormality, repeating the same thing for more than a hundred days, even an Anbu ninja will find it very boring.
Kakashi often pulls himself together and enters the state of serious work.
However, they all know that protecting Jinchuriki is the highest level task equivalent to protecting Hokage. For the village, Jinchuriki is of great significance. So I didn't complain, I just felt a little boring.
In order to pass the boring time, some Anbu ninjas will buy some cards to pass the boring time when they are working.
There are also Anbu ninjas who complete their work meticulously. As long as it is a task, they will not feel bored.
When Kakashi is bored, he just reads books and hone his lightning attribute chakra, so that his lightning attribute chakra has more stabbing power, and strives to raise the power of Thunder Dun, Chidori and Baiya Saber to another level.
"Hey, Kakashi, there is still one card missing here, do you want to come over and make up the number?"
A tall Anbu ninja came over and asked.
Because Kakashi's hair and White Fang sword are too iconic, even if they are called by a code name, others can tell at a glance that this is Kakashi Hatake, who inherited the White Fang Sword technique from Konoha.
Before the age of twelve, a genius who was able to develop A-level thunder escape ninjutsu by himself.
And after joining Anbu, I started at the level of a small captain, and it is not difficult to become a sub-captain after a few years.
Maybe he will become Konoha's youngest dark part captain.
"No, I'm reading a book."
Kakashi was lying on the roof of the villa, staring at the book in his hand, but from the corner of his eyes, he was also observing every move around him.
It's not difficult for Kakashi to use one mind and two tasks.
Many ninjas in Anbu can also do this.
Otherwise, when these Anbu ninjas were playing cards to pass the time, they would have been caught and severely reprimanded by their superiors.
After all, the ninjas who can join Anbu are all elites in the village, possessing special talents that ordinary people do not possess.
"Okay then, I'm going to find someone else."
Seeing Kakashi's refusal, the other party didn't force it, and instead invited other Anbu.
Within a few minutes, a shadow covered Kakashi's top. Kakashi closed the book, and saw a smiling face that was not particularly serious, which seemed to be a little foolish.
"Master Ziraiya, why are you here?"
It was Jiraiya, one of Konoha Sannin who came here.
The rest of Anbu's eyes swept over here, but they didn't make any moves.
There are not many Konoha ninjas who can approach here at will, and Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, happens to be one of them.
The opponent is the disciple of the third Hokage, the mentor of the fourth Hokage, and a Konoha ninja who will never betray the interests of the village.
"Before you leave, come here to visit Minato's unborn child."
Jirai also answered.
"leave?"
Kakashi was puzzled.
"Well, go out and do something."
Although Jiraiya said it lightly, Kakashi felt that the things Jiraiya had to go out to do were not simple.
Among the three ninjas, Jiraiya is also the ninja who is best at collecting information.
The seemingly rough nerves are actually more delicate than many women, and they can notice some things that ordinary people can't notice.
Kakashi nodded without asking further questions.
"I see that you are a bit bored here, so I brought you a little gift, please accept it politely. Although there are still some immature places, and it has not reached the point of release, it is my painstaking work."
"?"
Kakashi tilted his head and looked at Jiraiya, not quite understanding what Jiraiya said.
I saw Zilai also mysteriously took out a book bound with needlework from his arms. On the cover, there were graffiti of cartoon men and women, as well as pink hearts.
The name of the book is "Massacre in Paradise".
Make out in heaven? Romance novel? Kakashi thought inwardly.
"Kakashi, this is the book that men should really read. After reading it, remember to write a 5,000-word testimonial. Then, I will withdraw first."
Put the book solemnly in Kakashi's hand, and Jiraiya disappeared from the roof.
"I'm not interested in romance novels..."
Kakashi muttered.
That being said, it is a good choice to pass the time. As for the 5,000-word testimonial, that's too exaggerated.
Then, Kakashi opened the first page of the book.
At that moment, Kakashi felt that he had opened the door to a new world.
