Chapter 219: Gift Shisui and Itachi
Chapter 219 Gift Zhishui and Itachi
The Land of Snow.
In a country covered by ice and snow all year round, even before winter, the air has become very cold, and snowflakes have begun to fall in the sky.
In the palace of Fenghua City, Fenghua Xiaoxue, who is already the monarch of the Snow Kingdom, sat in a room quite bored, listening to a teacher's lecture.
That's right, it's a lecture.
Even if she has become the king, Xiaoxue is still a minor in essence. She needs to learn to manage the Snow Country better.
The current Snow Country is managed by his confidant San Taifu Asama. Xiaoxue doesn’t know how to manage the country. That’s why she was arranged by San Taifu to study here for more than six hours every day, and then learn to handle government affairs for more than three hours.
"The devil... San Taifu is really a devil..."
Xiaoxue lowered her head in pain, seeing the textbook in front of her, she had the urge to tear it up.
The days of becoming a monarch were not as good as imagined.
In the past, when her father Fenghua Zaoxue was still there, she studied in the palace for only two hours a day.
Now she has to spend nine hours a day on textbooks and government affairs. For her, it is like being tortured in hell.
Is there a method in the world that can learn everything at once without learning, just eating, drinking and having fun all day long? Xiaoxue started to be whimsical in class.
As the teacher who teaches Xiaoxue, there is nothing she can do about it. She can only turn a blind eye and let Xiaoxue wander in the classroom.
If you are in a good mood, you may be able to listen to some of them. If you are in a bad mood, even if you burn the textbooks in class, he, the teacher, can't say no.
Even for the monthly teaching fees, he is not dissatisfied with this job.
Although as a teacher, he hopes that Xiaoxue, the monarch, can be more serious in class, learn some useful knowledge, and become a wise queen as soon as possible.
It's just... Seeing Xiaoxue's lack of interest, he knew that the other party was not interested in learning such things.
Thinking about it, even if Xiaoxue is the monarch of the Snow Country, she is still a girl who has not fully grown up. Naturally, learning such a boring thing will not be interesting.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Xiaoxue said to the door.
The door was pushed open by outsiders, and a maid stood outside. She bowed slightly and said respectfully to Xiaoxue:
"Excuse me, Your Highness."
"Is there a problem?"
Xiaoxue sat upright, with an attitude of listening carefully.
"Minister San Taifu invites you to go over, saying that there are distinguished guests visiting."
"I see. So, let's end today's class here."
Xiaoxue nodded and decided the matter with one word.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Since there are distinguished guests visiting, and the monarch Xiaoxue needs to appear in person, it is obvious that he is a very important person. He is just a teacher who is responsible for teaching, and he can still decide the severity.
Xiaoxue walked out of the room, led by the maid, and followed behind.
Who are the VIPs? Xiaoxue, who was followed by the maid, guessed the identity of the "honored guest" that the third grandpa said.
Since she became the monarch of the Snow Country, she has indeed received many foreign dignitaries in person as a monarch, but those people only came to greet her symbolically, and just go through a scene.
After the greeting, there is no second visit.
So, she was very curious about the status of the "honored guest" in the mouth of the third Taifu.
Could it be the envoy of the five great powers?
It's just that Snow Country doesn't have much communication with the five major countries. Even if there is communication, it's just a commissioned task, and it shouldn't happen.
Through the gorgeous and wide corridor on the third floor of the palace, the maid stopped in front of a door, Xiaoxue said: "Go down, I can just go in by myself."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The maid bowed and stepped back.
Xiaoxue tidied up her clothes before she reached out to push the door and walked into the room.
In the room, San Taifu was having a harmonious conversation with a young man. Seeing Xiaoxue coming in, San Taifu stood up from the sofa.
"Your Highness Xiaoxue, look who is here."
Santafu pointed to the young man next to him.
"Long time no see, Xiaoxue."
The young man, who was also Shiraishi who rushed here from the Ghost Country, smiled kindly at Xiaoxue.
"Father!"
Xiaoxue also showed joy on her face, and walked quickly to Baishi, hugged Baishi's body, showing an intimacy.
"Your Highness Xiaoxue, even if you are excited, you shouldn't be so rude. Doing so will damage your dignity too much."
Santafu taught by the side how to become a majestic king.
At the same time, he is a little tasteful. Xiaoxue always gets along with him with a face. Why is Baishi, who basically comes once every two or three months, so deeply loved by His Royal Highness Xiaoxue?
"That's what's wrong with you, San Taifu, why didn't you realize that you are such a long-winded person before?"
Xiaoxue glared at Santa Fu dissatisfied.
This demon, who arranges such a heavy academic and government affairs for her all day long, leaves her no time to play, she is not a person at all!
is the devil!
"I'm doing this for your highness's sake. You are already the king of the Snow Country. You must learn to be a king who loves the people like His Highness Saoyuki, so that the people will love you in turn."
"I see, you have said this to me countless times. Today, my father finally came over, you don't plan to let me spend the time in preaching, do you?"
Xiaoxue sighed.
Only at this time, she doesn't have to put on a serious and cold face outside, and can act according to her own mood.
At first, she thought it would be fun to be the queen of the Snow Country.
But as the third husband began to let her study and officially let her handle government affairs, she saw what real **** is.
And San Taifu is a demon crawling out of hell.
The third husband could only smile wryly. Although he ascended the throne, the other party's innocent character still could not be eliminated.
However, protecting Xiaoxue is also his duty as a servant.
"Xiaoxue, the third wife is also doing it for your own good, so don't make him angry all the time."
"Understood, my lord father. Are you here specifically to visit Xiaoxue this time?"
Xiaoxue looked at Baishi expectantly.
"It's okay, and I brought you a gift, I hope you will like it."
Baishi smiled mysteriously.
"Gift?"
Xiaoxue tilted her head, looking puzzled.
Santa Fu remembered that when Baishi came over, he brought a sealed box with him.
That must be the so-called gift for Xiaoxue.
What could it be?
Santafu looked over.
Baishi walked to a sealed box, and under Xiaoxue's expectant eyes, tore off the seal, and took out the contents.
"Uh... my lord father, is this the gift you brought me?"
The expectation on Xiaoxue's face turned into astonishment, pointing at the weird equipment that Baishi took out, her face was full of doubts.
This weird device should be a kind of machinery, just like the heater left by his father Fenghuazaoxue.
The whole body is black, it looks like a pitch-black iron box.
"Yes."
Shiraishi nodded.
Xiaoxue looked puzzled, how to play with this weird mechanical device?
Baishi smiled slightly, walked to the switch in the room, turned off the light, and the sight in the room immediately dimmed.
He walked back to the black mechanical equipment and began to operate the machine with skill.
I saw a light source shot out from a hole in the black box immediately, creating light and shadow on the wall not far away, making the room a little brighter.
I can only see the light and shadow on the wall, presenting a variety of pictures, there are endless rivers, endless mountains, and endless oceans.
The scenery of the four seasons is also presented one by one in the light and shadow.
The sound of wind, snow, and various natural sounds are also played in a timely manner.
Xiaoxue and Santafu were immediately attracted by the scenery above.
Of course, what attracted them was not all the scenery above, but more because of the novelty brought by this strange black box.
"Father, this is..."
Xiaoxue subconsciously took a few steps forward, her little face lit up with excitement.
It was the first time she saw such a beautiful picture.
"This is a newly developed device for recording video and sound, called a projector. This is a portable projector, and this is my gift to you. Do you like it, Xiaoxue?"
Baishi fondled Xiaoxue's little head affectionately.
Xiaoxue nodded heavily, expressing her liking.
She stood in front of the wall, staring at the beautiful picture above without blinking.
"Because you have been staying here, you don't have many opportunities to see the outside world. With this, you can live in the palace and enjoy the outside scenery to your heart's content, so you won't be bored and depressed."
"Well, I like this gift very much, Father."
The smile on Xiaoxue's face was very happy.
Seeing such a picture, there was a voice in her heart telling herself to record all the beautiful pictures and sounds in the world and make them the most precious memories.
"This is a really nice gift."
Santafu was also admiring.
"This task is entrusted to you, San Taifu."
Shiraishi said.
"Please don't worry, I will definitely work hard to complete this job. At that time, I can also record the situation of the people of Snow Country, let Xiaoxue know the sufferings of the world, and encourage myself from time to time. Mr. Shiraishi, you have really worked hard for His Highness Xiaoxue's education."
Santa Fu nodded movedly, and had already thought up a series of plans for Xiaoxue to further expand her studies.
With this device called a projector, it really solved his urgent needs.
"..."
Shiraishi felt that San Taifu seemed to have misunderstood something.
Isn't his intention obvious? I just want Xiaoxue to relax while studying.
As a result, San Taifu said such words. If this increased the burden on Xiaoxue, it shouldn't be his fault, right?
Fortunately, Xiaoxue was still immersed in the screen projected by the projector, and didn't notice what San Taifu said, otherwise she would definitely yell at San Taifu.
Leaving Xiaoxue alone in the room to watch those videos, Baishi and San Taifu came out.
"Mr. Shiraishi, the reason why you came to the Snow Country this time is because of the Chakra armor."
Although it is doubtful, but San Taifu is very sure that Shiraishi has another purpose for coming here.
The other party is very busy with work in the Ghost Country, and it is not a festival now, so it is definitely impossible to come to the Snow Country just to visit the adoptive daughter Xiaoxue.
"Yes, the purpose of my visit to Snow Country this time is to test the Chakra armor research at the Iceberg Base."
The new scientific research base of the Snow Country is built on the lower layer of a huge iceberg, so it is named the Iceberg Base. It is also the largest scientific research base in the Snow Country, using the most manpower and material resources.
The Chakra Armor was developed there. In addition, there are some other things, such as the Kunai continuous shooting gun obtained from the country of the sky, and some large ninja tools, which are suitable for war.
These technologies all need to be innovated.
"The research and development of Chakra armor is very difficult. It is not just a matter of funds, but also a technological innovation, which is not so fast. Even if the adjustment is made this time, the performance will not change qualitatively."
Santafu still knows about this.
The research and development of Chakra Armor is very sophisticated, and it is also a unique technology of Snow Country. In this technology, Snow Country has invested a lot of energy in the past, but the progress has been very slow.
"Don't worry, I'm not so eager to ask for Chakra armor, and I can equip it immediately."
The foreign expansion plan of the Kingdom of Ghosts is not in a hurry. According to the original plan, it will not start until at least five years later.
This is still under the condition that everything is going well. After all, it will not be easy to deal with various complicated international environments.
In fact, with the improvement of the national power of the ghost country, earth-shaking changes have taken place in cities and towns everywhere, and various systems are perfected, so it is very difficult not to be noticed.
It cannot be blocked by blocking, because if the kingdom of ghosts wants to seek a higher level of development, it is bound to be impossible to hide forever.
Therefore, the layout of Hidden Fog is particularly important.
"Then there is no problem. I will always pay attention to the matter of the Chakra armor."
It is related to the survival of the Snow Country, and the third husband dare not be careless, and relax the supervision of the Bingshan Base.
Because those armors are not only equipped for the army of the ghost country, but also for the army of the snow country to enhance the country's military strength, so as to protect the country's security.
There are countless examples of small countries in the ninja world being destroyed by big countries because of their weak military strength.
In addition to the incident of wind, flowers and raging waves, it also reminded him that strength is the foundation of protecting everything.
"Then I will trouble you. Liuli has already gone to the base first. I will stay here for a few days to accompany Xiaoxue, and then go to the base to inspect."
"It's a great honor. Then I'll go over and get someone to prepare the room first. You just need to stay here with His Highness Xiaoxue."
◎
Konoha.
Uchiha moved to a new residence.
The area of the clan land has expanded, but it is getting farther and farther away from the core of the village.
According to the decision of the high-level meeting, some new industries will be built in the village this year to develop the village, and the most suitable place is the tribe where Uchiha is located.
Therefore, Uchiha's family land was transferred to the corner of the village, and it included Nanga Shrine, so there was no need to travel so far for every meeting.
And in order to compensate the Uchiha clan, the high-level officials also allocated a large area of land around them to the Uchiha clan.
For example, a huge practice site, and a beautiful and peaceful forest, a place like a paradise.
The area of Uchiha's family land has expanded a lot at once, but how to use such a large land is also a problem.
Because according to the total population of the Uchiha clan, such a large land is simply not needed.
Besides, this place is really far away from the center of the village.
For this reason, the Uchiha clan held five meetings in Nanga Shrine for three consecutive days to deal with the high-level actions.
Although the Uchiha adults didn’t say it clearly, Itachi knew that the Uchiha adults, including his father Fugaku, were very dissatisfied with the high-level decision.
But because he is not an official ninja yet, Itachi doesn't know the content of the meeting in Nanga Shrine.
Not only the Nanga Shrine, but also his family, recently people from the tribe often come to visit, and they are arguing loudly in the room of his father Fuyue.
When Itachi occasionally passes by, he often hears words such as 'Nine Tails', 'Fourth Hokage', 'I want to commit a crime' and so on.
Obviously, some sensitive political topics are involved.
The reason why the village's senior management moved the Uchiha clan to the corner of the village was because they suspected that the Kyuubi Rebellion had something to do with the ninjas of the Uchiha clan.
Although compensation was made to the Uchiha clan, for example, a large piece of land was allocated to the Uchiha clan, but the skeptical attitude seemed to make the clan feel extremely anxious.
But Itachi actually has a dispensable attitude towards this decision.
For him, such a remote environment is just right. Not only are there beautiful woods, but also a practice site that is several times larger than before, so he doesn't have to worry about people coming to disturb him.
In this way, he can practice here to his heart's content and hone his ninja skills.
So, he thinks that the clansmen have lost their composure too much. Now that the incident has happened, everyone should sit down calmly and think about how to make the clan better in the village.
Venting dissatisfaction will only make things worse.
Moreover, due to Kyuubi's attack, the village lost hundreds of ninjas, and even the fourth Hokage couple died heroically.
Now Yunyin is watching outside, and it is said that the war will start again.
Therefore, the adults in the clan just blindly vent their anger, making Itachi feel ashamed.
Losing calmness is definitely not the work of a good ninja.
If this matter is framed, then try to produce evidence to clear yourself, there is no need to discuss this matter more.
As for whether it was really the ninjas of the Uchiha clan that released the Nine-Tails, causing disasters in the village, Itachi doesn't know the truth.
But his father, Fu Yue, often murmured about a person named "Uchiha Ruri" at the dinner table recently. Anger and helplessness kept changing on his face, and then turned into a deep sigh.
Itachi knew that the Nine-Tails Rebellion might really have something to do with the Uchiha clan.
His father, Fu Yue, would not say a person's name for no reason, or the name of a certain tribe.
And the name of this tribe, Itachi has heard more than once, but itachi can't get any information from his father about who the other party is.
Even mother Mikoto just shook her head, unwilling to say anything more.
—The latest practice site is set up in a quiet forest.
Itachi has started a new round of training here in the past few days.
First of all, I will practice the fire escape and fireball jutsu, then I will practice Taijutsu, and finally I will practice shuriken throwing.
When all the training is completed, it is already dusk.
Itachi was about to pick up the package and leave when suddenly there was a cheer from behind:
"sharp!"
Itachi subconsciously jumped to the side, drew out Kunai from the ninja bag, and pointed at the person coming.
It was a handsome black-haired boy.
There is a Konoha forehead guard tied on his forehead, and the Uchiha logo is embroidered on his clothes. He is a member of the Uchiha clan. He smiled slightly at Itachi.
"Don't be so vigilant, get to know me, I am Uchiha Shisui."
Itachi put down Kunai and was about to answer his name when the other party continued to smile and said:
"I know you, Uchiha Itachi, the son of the patriarch's family."
"you know me?"
Itachi was curious.
"Yes."
Shisui pointed at the surrounding targets, on which Kunai and shurikens were inserted accurately.
There are still targets with only one wooden pole left, and the targets have been burned by the fire escape technique.
"Being able to use such powerful shuriken skills and fire escape ninjutsu at this age, I guessed your identity right away. I heard that you are a guy who doesn't fit in, and you spend all your time in training. It is true."
Itachi has experienced a lot of practice before it has the strength it has today.
Shishui understands very well that itachi has spent so much effort and hard work in order to reach this state, which cannot be easily denied by saying 'genius'.
"Because playing ninja games with them is too boring."
Itachi still answered like this.
"Yeah?"
Zhishui stood there thinking for a while, then waved his arm.
Several flashes of light flashed across Itachi's eyes and made a sound.
Itachi turned his head in surprise, only to see that on the target, next to each of his shurikens, there was another shuriken, which also hit the red heart, without exception.
The most important thing is that he didn't say that he saw clearly just now, he didn't see how Shishui took out the shuriken, and then bypassed his body in any way, and hit the target accurately.
This person is... very strong! Itachi thought to himself.
"How is it? My shuriken skills are not bad, right? However, I believe that in a few years, you can also do this, even better than me."
Shishui said affirmatively.
Itachi didn't answer, but he thought so in his heart.
Zhi Shui was able to do this because the other party was older and had practiced for a longer time.
"Before the family moved here, I noticed you more than once. It's amazing to practice seriously at such a young age."
Shishui stretched out his hand towards Itachi, with a hearty and natural smile on his face:
"How about it, do you want to practice with me in the future? If two people practice together, the efficiency will be much better."
Zhishui feels very special to him, and it should be easy to get along with him.
Moreover, if you practice together with the other party, you can become stronger. Itachi naturally extended his hand and held it with Shishui.
"Okay, we're friends from today, how about meeting here tomorrow?"
Looking at the informal Shisui, Itachi nodded in agreement.
"good."
