I, Uchiha Yiyong, have not been hated!
Chapter 129 Do you know what's wrong with you?
Chapter 129 Do you know what's wrong with you?
Satisfied, Xing Shoulang put down the teacup in his hand, and praised loudly: "It's been a long time since I tasted such authentic wisteria tea! It's exactly the same as Mrs. Tianyin's own brewing. It's really nostalgic!"
As he said that, he turned his head, his hot and bright eyes rested on Yiyong's face, "Yiyong, you think so too, don't you?"
Yiyong said that he must get along well with all resurrected pillars to make up for past regrets.
In Xing Shoulang's view, in order to achieve this, there is nothing more effective than sincerely praising another person's intentions.
So he decides to lend a helping hand and guide Giyuu once...
But what surprised him was that after Yiyong finished his tea, he just nodded flatly: "Maybe."
Xing Shoulang's expression froze for a moment, feeling that he had done unnecessary things.
Not only did Yiyong not praise, but he also looked indifferent.Reminiscent of Miss Shinobu's character...
[Sure enough, I shouldn't have forced Yiyong to evaluate the fruits of Miss Ninja's labor without hinting in advance!Now...]
But to his surprise, Butterfly Shinobu covered his mouth and laughed indifferently: "If you ask him to tell, he can't tell. Because Tomioka has never drunk the wisteria flower tea brewed by Mrs. Tianyin himself. "
"Why is this?"
Xing Julang had never been on duty at the headquarters with Giyu in the past, so he didn't know this, "Is it because I can't get used to the taste of wisteria flowers?"
"Hey, this has something to do with Tomioka's embarrassing incident. Although he may not realize until now, there is something wrong with what he did..."
Butterfly Shinobu's eyes flashed mischievously, and he turned to ask Yiyong: "How is it, do you want me to say it?"
"I don't have any embarrassment at all."
There was a strong look of doubt in Yiyong's writing wheel eyes, "I don't know what you want to say."
Butterfly endured with an expression that was as expected, "Since you say that, then I'm not welcome. Purgatory should also want to hear it, right?"
In fact, Xing Shoulang has no intention of inquiring about other people's dark history.
But he saw with his own eyes that although Yiyong has made progress in expression detection over the years, he has a tendency to regress in reading the air.
If Ms. Shinobu thinks it's an embarrassing thing, but Yiyong doesn't realize it, then it is indeed time to bring up the old matter again and let Yiyong wake up, otherwise history will repeat itself sooner or later.
So he nodded, with a look of all ears: "I would like to hear more about it!"
"Then I'll say it."
Butterfly sat upright, looking like a storyteller in Kabukicho, "I was not a Chong Zhu when it happened, so my sister told me about it.
"It is said that when Tomioka was an ordinary team member, he always followed the clues to find the traces of ghosts. His crow was very old and could only run around with him, so he couldn't often report back to the headquarters. Later, his sister met him by chance , I learned from the crow's complaint that Tomioka has killed more than one hundred ghosts. According to the regulations, a swordsman can become a pillar if he kills fifty ghosts."
"Is there such a result without becoming Zhu?"
Xing Shoulang couldn't help applauding, "It's really amazing! Volunteer!"
Butterfly Shinobi also nodded in approval, and continued: "Anyway, my sister told the lord about this, and the lord decided to call Tomioka to the headquarters to complete the appointment ceremony of the water column. Because it was the first time we met, Tomioka's 餸The crow rarely returns to the headquarters to report the situation, so neither the lord nor Mrs. Tianyin know much about him. When Mrs. Tianyin serves wisteria flower tea to the newly appointed Zhu as usual, Tomioka will get up and leave immediately people."
"You can imagine!"
Xing Shoulang was not too surprised.It's a serious faux pas to put it on someone else, but it seems normal if it's done bravely.
"The lord and Mrs. Tianyin were both young at that time, and some inexplicable things happened suddenly, and they were inevitably a little overwhelmed, so they frankly asked Tomioka why he left, and whether there was something wrong with the taste of the tea?"
When Butterfly Shinobi said this, he glanced at Yiyong's face: "Tomioka replied like this at the time—'I won't drink this cup of tea. I'm different from them. I shouldn't come here either.'"
"So that's how it is." Xing Shoulang suddenly understood.
According to Yi Yong's view of himself being too small, he felt that he was not qualified to be a pillar, so he couldn't drink this cup of ritual tea with peace of mind like other pillars.
But for the lord and Mrs. Tianyin who met him for the first time, I am afraid that Yiyong's answer will only make them more confused.
"For a long time after that incident, the lord and his wife thought that Yiyong simply hated the smell of wisteria tea. Every time they met, the lady would only hand him white water. It was not until more than half a year later that they understood the truth of what he said. meaning, but the habit of putting white water on the water column has been retained. So from the beginning to the end, Tomioka has not enjoyed the same treatment as other columns.”
At this point, Xing Julang finally understood Giyuu's "probably so" evaluation.
[As expected of Miss Shinobi.For more than three years, I have met Yiyong every day, but my understanding of Yiyong still cannot be compared with her! 】
Butterfly squinted his eyes, and asked Yiyong jokingly: "So, do you know what you did wrong now?"
"Yeah." Yi Yong nodded deeply, and seriously reviewed: "When you get along with people who are higher than you, it would be rude to get up and leave. I should explain the reason first and ask for permission before leaving. Otherwise it will make others uncomfortable."
"..."
Butterfly clasped his hands and pinched them hard, and after a long while, he commented ironically: "I have felt it before, Tomioka... you are really good at grasping the key points of other people's words."
Unexpectedly, Yi Yong nodded his head quite usefully, and responded politely: "Thank you for saying that, Butterfly."
Yanzhu and Chongzhu looked at each other, they both raised their foreheads and lowered their heads in unison. Only Yiyong sat quietly in embarrassment and silence, reminiscing Die Dieren's "compliment" to him on his way of life.
After about half a minute, Xing Shoulang took the lead to regroup and broke the silence: "I suggest that everyone should address each other by their first names from today! This will reduce the distance and sense of estrangement!"
After all, Giyuu's surname is no longer Tomioka.In addition, he is a person who is prone to dwelling on the past, Xing Shoulang feels that if Butterfly endures calling like this, it may awaken many negative memories that he has buried for a long time.
Butterfly thought for a while and nodded: "Just call me by my name."
She remembered the protagonist's judgment about the "tearing feeling" in Giyuu's heart. Calling him Tomioka would indeed increase the risk of this tearing feeling.But calling the surname Uchiha felt too unfamiliar to her.Besides, it is inevitable that she will meet Yiyong's family members or tribesmen in the future, and it will always be a bit strange to call them by their surnames.
"I can do whatever I want." Yi Yong also had no objection.
In this way, the three people reached an agreement on the first item.
"Okay, we've finished our tea and exchanged greetings, it's time to get down to business."
Butterfly grimaced, took the map, spread it flat on the low round table made of tree branches, and drew three circles on it with his fingers.
"This is what Medicine Master told me after I asked about the other three strongholds of Orochimaru in the Water Country."
"Are there still many people who have been taken away?" Xing Shoulang gestured on the map with his fingers, as if he was calculating the distance.
"That's right." Butterfly Shinobu nodded: "Those three strongholds are smaller than this one, and each stronghold has two or three special children locked up, but most of them are 'experiments' captured by Orochimaru. Among them are ninjas and ordinary people, and other subordinates of Orochimaru are responsible for taking care of them."
"These three places are not far from here."
Xing Shoulang judged: "I can bring them back within a day! The key question is how to arrange them afterwards."
In addition to the children who had lost their families, the "experiments" who were arrested were also a mixed bag.
Some are fugitives who have committed all kinds of crimes, some are farmers from nearby villages, and some are simply ninjas from Wuyin Village.How to properly screen and arrange these people is also a big problem.
For example, at the bottom of the hillside, those adults who work with the blood-step children are the part that Xing Shoulang has observed carefully and are not easy to be hostile to other people, so he brought them out.
As for the rest of the people whose situation is still uncertain, they are still isolated one by one in the prison area on the second floor of the base, there are as many as a hundred people.Coupled with the three batches that he is about to bring back, the number of people will not be too small.
"These people can be handed over to the daimyo of the country of water, and let him find a way to identify them. The key is these helpless children."
Butterfly frowned, and said firmly: "They must not stay in this country anymore."
"The fourth Mizukage is dead, and the decree has been abolished."
Yi Yong said puzzledly, "If we find their relatives who may still be alive, maybe we can raise them up..."
"It's not that simple."
Butterfly Ninja shook his head and interrupted him: "I know Giyuu's thoughts. You think this is the same as killing Oni Wu Tsuji, and all ghosts will cease to exist. All mistakes are the fault of the initiator, as long as the evil Everything is going to get better slowly, isn't it?"
"Yeah." Giyuu nodded, "Didn't the daimyo of the country of water always want this country to return to normal? Now he has no obstacles."
"It's a very simple idea."
Butterfly Ren asked: "But have you ever thought about the impact of so many years of cruel policies on this country, many of which are irreversible in a short period of time."
Butterfly Shinobu intends to give some examples.
"The reforms in the late Meiji period have proved that no matter how outrageous the policy, there will always be beneficiaries.
"According to what I have learned in the past few days, the Four Generations of Mizukage persecuted the villages with blood successor boundaries, but at the same time they also targeted those blood successor families. Although this approach is puzzling, it has given a large number of civilian ninjas more The opportunity for promotion, and even the privilege of killing first and playing later.
"Now he is dead, but these beneficiaries are still there, and the conflict between them and the big family that was damaged in the past few years is on the verge of breaking out. Next, Mist Ninja Village will be used to solve this problem for a long time. Contradictions, the country of water is still not at peace. If these children continue to live in the people of the country of water, they will either become a vent for the civilian ninjas; or they will be taken away and become tools for the blood-successful ninjas."
Butterfly paused, "Furthermore, the policy of the fourth generation of Mizukage not only affected the concept of ninjas, but also made the people regard these special children as disaster stars and enemies; Trust people who are different from them.”
There was a trace of disgust in her tone, "For example, that Yaoshidou cooperated with Dashe Wan to destroy the homes of those children, but many of them not only did not hate him, but were very grateful, please don't kill him. Can you Can you figure it out?"
Not to mention righteous bravery, even Xing Julang raised his eyebrows strangely, feeling a little weird.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not difficult to understand why they came up with this idea. The villages destroyed by Orochimaru were either discovered by Kirigakure ninjas that there is a blood succession limit, and they are about to be destroyed; or the villagers are trying to survive. , planning to attack these children in advance.
"But no matter what kind it is, most of these children have experienced the disillusionment of being regarded as enemies by the villagers after the blood succession boundary was exposed. If they are lucky, they are hidden at home by their parents and are not allowed to go out to meet people at all; more unlucky The other was locked up without water or food, and the people in the village were waiting for him to fend for himself. At this time, the psychic beast of Orochimaru destroyed their home, but they It just happened that I completely lost my trust in my parents, family and fellow villagers...
"Afterwards, Yaoshidou appeared as a savior. He promised them food, strength and future. Even if we exposed the truth and told them it was a trap, some people still hated Yaoshidou and Dashewan at all. I can't. Because in their view, if there was no accident, they would probably die at the hands of their biological parents. Although they can't talk about gratitude, they have 'benefited' from it."
Under the warm sunshine, Butterfly Ren's words made people feel cold all over.
"Can you call the actions of the villagers evil? But the policy is there. If these children with blood inheritance limits are not targeted, they will all face the danger of being killed.
"Can you call these children who are grateful to Yaoshidou and Dashewan without conscience? If it wasn't the villagers who died, it would be them, and they died in the unimaginable despair of being betrayed by their families. And this is the distortion that Kirigakure's policy has brought to the people. Once the bond of family affection is destroyed, it will never be restored within a generation...
"Can you imagine the consequences of continuing to let these children grow up in such a place?"
"It's really a pity, they are obviously only young..."
Xing Shoulang stood up and looked down at the children who were chopping trees and transporting rocks, and seemed quite happy for the time being.
"But their trust in people has been ruthlessly destroyed! If they are allowed to grow up in this country, they will never experience the kind of warmth that people should fully experience, and naturally they will not bring this kind of warmth to others! Over time, they will become distant and withdrawn, hard-hearted..."
But immediately, he turned around and said loudly: "But we have to let them understand that even if they get hurt, even if they think they have 1 reasons to hate the world, even if they think everyone is their enemy , or potential enemies, but the goodwill, friendship, and family affection in life can still pull them back from the cliff of despair! No matter what kind of predicament they sink into, there must still be light in their hearts!"
"us!"
Xing Shoulang turned his back to the morning sun, patted his chest heavily, and looked at Yiyong and Shinobu with infinite hope.
"It's up to us to be their family and friends! Be the one who can pull them back from the cold abyss! It's up to us to give them a warm home! We are strong and have the ability; Very young, but also have this energy and patience! As long as we persevere, we will definitely be able to do this!"
"That's right." Butterfly endured the bloodshot cheeks and said with a smile, "That's exactly what I thought."
"At least," Yi Yong also nodded solemnly, "We can't let them become the same people as those who harmed them. In that case, everything we did before would be meaningless."
The three reached a consensus again.
"But," Yiyong changed his voice, "after leaving their hometown, where should we take them?"
"The way I see it, it's pretty good here."
Butterfly Ninja turned over the map of the country of water, and on the back was a map of the ninja world.
And the position where her finger pressed was the center of the world.
"According to Yaoshidou, Orochimaru's bases are all over the ninja world. And this country is located in the center of the mainland, no matter where you go, the distance is about the same. Even if he is really resurrected, it will be much more convenient for us to start from here to find him. Finally The key is that you know this place well."
Yi Yong and Xing Shou Lang looked down and expressed their disapproval in unison: "The Land of Rain?"
"Yes. It is unrealistic to take them to settle in a big country. Every big country has its own ninja village and daimyo, and we bring a group of children who have blood inheritance limits, and there is more or less the risk of being targeted and used. Although the three of us are not Weak, but the children are not ready yet, if they are raised in a big country, there are many things to worry about. Moreover, we need to reduce the influence of ninjas on them.”
Butterfly Shinobi took out a stack of folded papers from the pocket of his white coat.
"I searched around last night and found some records of Orochimaru. I noticed that Daimyo of the Rain Country seems to have ignored state affairs for many years. Although it is in the center of the world, it is a relatively closed country, except for the strategic value of geography during wartime , There are almost no resources worthy of attention, so big countries are not interested in it. This country is comparable in size to Switzerland, but according to Orochimaru's calculations, it has a population of less than 10.
"Considering that these contents were written by him ten years ago, the population of the Land of Rain should be smaller now, and the only Sanjiao Hanzo that needs to be cared about is also dead, and the new leader (referring to Xiaonan) and Xing Julang are also familiar Taken together, this place is the best for our self-sufficient life and for the children to grow up in relative privacy."
Obviously, Butterfly Ninja had already planned accordingly, so he started doing his homework last night.
"The Land of Rain does have an advantage in geographical location, but self-sufficiency is probably impossible!"
Xing Julang has a full understanding of the country of the rain, and put forward the reasons for his opposition: "During the Second Ninja World War, Sansho Hanzo fought against ninjas from various countries and released a large amount of poison. Because the battlefield is on a plain where the land can be farmed. The poisonous gas completely polluted the land, and the crops died in the war; while in the dense forest less affected by the toxin, there are terrifying beasts and poisonous insects everywhere, which are extremely dangerous and not suitable for people to live in!
"For many years, the ninjas led by Hanzo have been the only economic pillar of the Land of Rain, and it is precisely because of this that ordinary people are insignificant in the Land of Rain. Now that Hanzo is dead, Hidden Rain Village has a new leader, but still The environment in this country is really too harsh!"
Butterfly Ninja didn't care much about these, but grasped a key point: "What do you mean by native crops?"
"A type of rice that is resistant to flooding, it is said that it can thrive after three months of continuous rain."
Xing Shoulang replied, "It's just that after the rain and the soil are full of sanshotoxin, this kind of rice can no longer survive."
No surprises for the butterflies: "Rice is a self-pollinating crop, and it's not surprising that it evolved too slowly to adapt to new environments."
"Self-pollination?" This is an uncommon and awkward word. When repeating it, Xing Julang was not even sure if he could write the word correctly.
Although Yiyong didn't speak, his blank expression showed that he needed to add some scientific knowledge.
"You don't deal with drugs and insects very much. It's not surprising that you don't know about these. It seems that I need to explain to you what is the evolution of plants and what is self-pollination..."
Butterfly held back his chin with his fingers and pondered for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you know carrot legs?"
Yiyong and Xing Shoulang nodded at the same time: "It means that people's calves are as thick as white radishes."
"That's what it means." Butterfly suppressed a smile, "But do you know that in the Heian era, radish legs were not only used to say that people's legs were thick, but they were used to praise other people's legs for being thin and long?"
Thinking about the shape of his favorite radish, Giyuu shook his head: "The gap is too big."
"With the efforts of dozens of generations, nothing is impossible."
Butterfly stretched out two slender fingers and gestured, "It is recorded in the book that most of the white radishes in the Heian period were only this thin, and the roots were particularly long. And the round, white and tender radishes we eat , is a new variety that has been bred by people for 500 years, and it did not become ubiquitous until the Edo period.
"Actually, the principle of breeding is very simple. It is to pick out those skinny radishes with poor quality, and only plant the seeds of those good-quality radishes, and then let these high-quality radishes pollinate each other, and repeat this process continuously. Hundreds of years In the end, the radishes of poor quality were completely eliminated, leaving only the one we eat today.
"In other words, through this kind of artificial elimination, we have achieved the evolution and evolution of radish varieties, and tamed them into what we want. But the plants we tame are far more than just radishes, wheat and rice are also in.
"It's just different from radishes. The pollination of radishes is cross-pollination. It's like your parents gave birth to you. Although the three of you are similar, you are essentially different people. As generations go on, the differences will become bigger and bigger. , and changes in the environment will guide this difference, so that offspring can better adapt to this environment and achieve evolution, avoiding being eliminated by the new environment.
"However, rice, a self-pollinating crop, is like self-replication, and the difference between generations is very small. Once this kind of crop wants to evolve, it takes much longer than the former, which leads to Once the environment changes drastically, self-pollinating plants die out before they can evolve."
Yi Yong asked: "You mean, we can grow other, cross-pollinated crops in the Land of Rain?"
"No, it's not just that. I have a more reliable method, which is to use external forces to make the speed of crop evolution catch up with the speed of drastic changes in the environment. Look at this apple seed in my hand..."
Butterfly stood up reluctantly, shoveled the ground behind him, and buried the apple seed in the soil.
Then she knelt down on one knee and folded her hands on the ground, "Now, I use Mutun's ability to turn Chakra into the nutrients it needs to grow, making it grow rapidly."
As soon as she finished speaking, a young green seedling that swelled in the wind burst out of the ground, and quickly grew and widened, hardened the soft skin, and became a fruit tree more than two meters high and the thickness of an ordinary person's arm.
Immediately afterwards, small pink and white flowers appeared on the branches of the apple, but they fell off immediately; then its receptacle swelled rapidly, and turned into green fruits in just a few seconds, and finally the fruits turned red quickly , into a fist-sized apple.
In total, it took less than 20 seconds from planting the seed to producing a new apple.
"20 seconds." Butterfly Ninja stretched out two fingers, and said proudly: "I can make a fruit tree go through a generation in 20 seconds. If I repeat this work continuously for an hour and a moment, It can make apples multiply for 180 generations, and 24 hours a day is 4320 generations...It is equivalent to 7 years of human evolution (taking 18 years as a generation)!"
Hearing this number, Yi Yong and Xing Shou Lang couldn't help cheering up.
After 7 years of evolution, are you afraid that you will not be able to breed crops that are resistant to toxins?
"It feels very hopeful."
At this time, Butterfly Shinobu smiled slyly: "But if you really have to think that way, you're wrong."
As she spoke, she jumped up and picked an apple from the treetop, and then broke it hard, "Look, is there any difference between this apple?"
Yiyong and Xingshoulang stared at it for five or six seconds, only to realize that the apple in Butterfly Ninja's hand was not the same as a normal apple: "No seeds!"
"Yes. In most cases, only plants that have undergone pollination will produce seeds, and the next generation of crops can be planted with seeds. I can use wood to force apples to bear fruit, but pollination requires another Work. Of course, I can artificially pollinate, but the speed of plant iteration will not be very fast. If I plant a hundred of the same crop and add pollination, one generation will be very reluctant; if I can use insects to pollinate, things will be easier. It will become very simple, and two to three generations a day can be achieved."
Butterfly Ren concluded: "In short, the general process is like this.
"In the first step, I planted the seeds of the crops in slightly toxic soil where they can barely survive, and provided nutrients with wood chakra to make them grow.
"The second step is cross-pollination, either artificially or using insects, to ensure that the crop produces seeds.
"The third step is to force the plants to bear fruit before they are killed by the soil or rain, and the seeds are harvested and replanted. Then this cycle is repeated hundreds of times and thousands of times, gradually increasing the toxicity of the soil, and after one generation after another, it will There are thousands or even tens of thousands of new varieties, at least one of which can produce poisonous ability while satisfying the safety of consumption.
"At that time, large-scale planting in the country of rain will not be a problem. Besides, the total population of a country is only so large. We don't need much land, so we pick the least toxic soil from the beginning That's it..."
"Including the workload of pollination, how long will it take?"
Xing Shoulang's eyes were already full of confidence.
If crop breeding is successful, not only will the homeless children of the Land of Water have a secure life, but those refugees in the Land of Rain who can only pick berries and mushrooms will no longer have to live in fear. Find your own value.
【The angel from the Land of Rain must be very happy to know about this, right? 】
"Conservative estimate, one to two years."
Butterfly looked at Yiyong, "If there is a way to control the pollination of insects, it may be faster."
Yiyong responded: "Konoha's oil girl clan has a secret technique to control insects. I can ask, but this is a family skill that people rely on for survival. There is little hope of telling me."
Butterfly squinted his eyes dangerously, "Do you think there was such a scum in this family who killed innocent people indiscriminately?"
If there is, she can justifiably "rob" this kind of secret technique, and she will be atonement for this family.After all, those who fought in the Land of Rain had their share in Konoha.
"Konoha's ninjas are relatively peaceful, and it's not known yet."
Yiyong nodded, "But I will check when I go back."
"Okay." Butterfly Shinobu nodded, and then looked at Xing Julang, "The weather in the Land of Rain and the Land of Water is very humid, and when there is heavy fog, there will also be toxins in the fog, which means that the crops here are also resistant to poison. During the recent period, we can collect the unique crops here, and then use them to crossbreed with the same genus crops in the Land of Rain, and see if there will be better mutant varieties after hundreds of generations and thousands of generations. .”
"Okay, I will definitely pay attention!"
Xing Julang said that he sincerely praised: "I didn't expect that the matter that made the strongest people in the ninja world (referring to Nagato) helpless, could be solved in this way. Shinobi is indeed the brains of the Demon Slayer Squad."
"It's just an idea now, and things will definitely not go as smoothly as we thought."
Butterfly Shinobu was a little ashamed of being praised, "Although I hate guys like Orochimaru, he is indeed a talented person and has given me a lot of inspiration. I think it is necessary to learn a lot of things he left behind. Learning, you can avoid a lot of detours...
"But what really works," Butterfly Ren turned his head to look at Yi Yong, showing a smile that really belongs to him rather than a habit, "It is the resurrection carrier you chose for me. No matter how you look at it, this body My physical abilities are perfect for me. Thank you, Giyu."
[Sure enough, just like Xing Shoulang said, the relationship has been drawn in. 】
Yiyong can tell that Butterfly Shinobi is really happy now.
However, Sasuke said that when Dad is happy, it is when he asks the family to go to the Fire City to watch a new movie.
"Since you thank me..."
Yi Yong said in a discussing tone, "Can you release the ghost lamp and water moon? Although he is not a flesh and blood body like you and me, it won't work if he freezes like this."
"Sure enough, like I said."
Butterfly curled her eyebrows and eyes into a crescent shape, and the meaning in her smile was completely different from a few seconds ago.
"Yiyong, you are really good at watching the atmosphere sometimes."
what are you writing
(End of this chapter)
Satisfied, Xing Shoulang put down the teacup in his hand, and praised loudly: "It's been a long time since I tasted such authentic wisteria tea! It's exactly the same as Mrs. Tianyin's own brewing. It's really nostalgic!"
As he said that, he turned his head, his hot and bright eyes rested on Yiyong's face, "Yiyong, you think so too, don't you?"
Yiyong said that he must get along well with all resurrected pillars to make up for past regrets.
In Xing Shoulang's view, in order to achieve this, there is nothing more effective than sincerely praising another person's intentions.
So he decides to lend a helping hand and guide Giyuu once...
But what surprised him was that after Yiyong finished his tea, he just nodded flatly: "Maybe."
Xing Shoulang's expression froze for a moment, feeling that he had done unnecessary things.
Not only did Yiyong not praise, but he also looked indifferent.Reminiscent of Miss Shinobu's character...
[Sure enough, I shouldn't have forced Yiyong to evaluate the fruits of Miss Ninja's labor without hinting in advance!Now...]
But to his surprise, Butterfly Shinobu covered his mouth and laughed indifferently: "If you ask him to tell, he can't tell. Because Tomioka has never drunk the wisteria flower tea brewed by Mrs. Tianyin himself. "
"Why is this?"
Xing Julang had never been on duty at the headquarters with Giyu in the past, so he didn't know this, "Is it because I can't get used to the taste of wisteria flowers?"
"Hey, this has something to do with Tomioka's embarrassing incident. Although he may not realize until now, there is something wrong with what he did..."
Butterfly Shinobu's eyes flashed mischievously, and he turned to ask Yiyong: "How is it, do you want me to say it?"
"I don't have any embarrassment at all."
There was a strong look of doubt in Yiyong's writing wheel eyes, "I don't know what you want to say."
Butterfly endured with an expression that was as expected, "Since you say that, then I'm not welcome. Purgatory should also want to hear it, right?"
In fact, Xing Shoulang has no intention of inquiring about other people's dark history.
But he saw with his own eyes that although Yiyong has made progress in expression detection over the years, he has a tendency to regress in reading the air.
If Ms. Shinobu thinks it's an embarrassing thing, but Yiyong doesn't realize it, then it is indeed time to bring up the old matter again and let Yiyong wake up, otherwise history will repeat itself sooner or later.
So he nodded, with a look of all ears: "I would like to hear more about it!"
"Then I'll say it."
Butterfly sat upright, looking like a storyteller in Kabukicho, "I was not a Chong Zhu when it happened, so my sister told me about it.
"It is said that when Tomioka was an ordinary team member, he always followed the clues to find the traces of ghosts. His crow was very old and could only run around with him, so he couldn't often report back to the headquarters. Later, his sister met him by chance , I learned from the crow's complaint that Tomioka has killed more than one hundred ghosts. According to the regulations, a swordsman can become a pillar if he kills fifty ghosts."
"Is there such a result without becoming Zhu?"
Xing Shoulang couldn't help applauding, "It's really amazing! Volunteer!"
Butterfly Shinobi also nodded in approval, and continued: "Anyway, my sister told the lord about this, and the lord decided to call Tomioka to the headquarters to complete the appointment ceremony of the water column. Because it was the first time we met, Tomioka's 餸The crow rarely returns to the headquarters to report the situation, so neither the lord nor Mrs. Tianyin know much about him. When Mrs. Tianyin serves wisteria flower tea to the newly appointed Zhu as usual, Tomioka will get up and leave immediately people."
"You can imagine!"
Xing Shoulang was not too surprised.It's a serious faux pas to put it on someone else, but it seems normal if it's done bravely.
"The lord and Mrs. Tianyin were both young at that time, and some inexplicable things happened suddenly, and they were inevitably a little overwhelmed, so they frankly asked Tomioka why he left, and whether there was something wrong with the taste of the tea?"
When Butterfly Shinobi said this, he glanced at Yiyong's face: "Tomioka replied like this at the time—'I won't drink this cup of tea. I'm different from them. I shouldn't come here either.'"
"So that's how it is." Xing Shoulang suddenly understood.
According to Yi Yong's view of himself being too small, he felt that he was not qualified to be a pillar, so he couldn't drink this cup of ritual tea with peace of mind like other pillars.
But for the lord and Mrs. Tianyin who met him for the first time, I am afraid that Yiyong's answer will only make them more confused.
"For a long time after that incident, the lord and his wife thought that Yiyong simply hated the smell of wisteria tea. Every time they met, the lady would only hand him white water. It was not until more than half a year later that they understood the truth of what he said. meaning, but the habit of putting white water on the water column has been retained. So from the beginning to the end, Tomioka has not enjoyed the same treatment as other columns.”
At this point, Xing Julang finally understood Giyuu's "probably so" evaluation.
[As expected of Miss Shinobi.For more than three years, I have met Yiyong every day, but my understanding of Yiyong still cannot be compared with her! 】
Butterfly squinted his eyes, and asked Yiyong jokingly: "So, do you know what you did wrong now?"
"Yeah." Yi Yong nodded deeply, and seriously reviewed: "When you get along with people who are higher than you, it would be rude to get up and leave. I should explain the reason first and ask for permission before leaving. Otherwise it will make others uncomfortable."
"..."
Butterfly clasped his hands and pinched them hard, and after a long while, he commented ironically: "I have felt it before, Tomioka... you are really good at grasping the key points of other people's words."
Unexpectedly, Yi Yong nodded his head quite usefully, and responded politely: "Thank you for saying that, Butterfly."
Yanzhu and Chongzhu looked at each other, they both raised their foreheads and lowered their heads in unison. Only Yiyong sat quietly in embarrassment and silence, reminiscing Die Dieren's "compliment" to him on his way of life.
After about half a minute, Xing Shoulang took the lead to regroup and broke the silence: "I suggest that everyone should address each other by their first names from today! This will reduce the distance and sense of estrangement!"
After all, Giyuu's surname is no longer Tomioka.In addition, he is a person who is prone to dwelling on the past, Xing Shoulang feels that if Butterfly endures calling like this, it may awaken many negative memories that he has buried for a long time.
Butterfly thought for a while and nodded: "Just call me by my name."
She remembered the protagonist's judgment about the "tearing feeling" in Giyuu's heart. Calling him Tomioka would indeed increase the risk of this tearing feeling.But calling the surname Uchiha felt too unfamiliar to her.Besides, it is inevitable that she will meet Yiyong's family members or tribesmen in the future, and it will always be a bit strange to call them by their surnames.
"I can do whatever I want." Yi Yong also had no objection.
In this way, the three people reached an agreement on the first item.
"Okay, we've finished our tea and exchanged greetings, it's time to get down to business."
Butterfly grimaced, took the map, spread it flat on the low round table made of tree branches, and drew three circles on it with his fingers.
"This is what Medicine Master told me after I asked about the other three strongholds of Orochimaru in the Water Country."
"Are there still many people who have been taken away?" Xing Shoulang gestured on the map with his fingers, as if he was calculating the distance.
"That's right." Butterfly Shinobu nodded: "Those three strongholds are smaller than this one, and each stronghold has two or three special children locked up, but most of them are 'experiments' captured by Orochimaru. Among them are ninjas and ordinary people, and other subordinates of Orochimaru are responsible for taking care of them."
"These three places are not far from here."
Xing Shoulang judged: "I can bring them back within a day! The key question is how to arrange them afterwards."
In addition to the children who had lost their families, the "experiments" who were arrested were also a mixed bag.
Some are fugitives who have committed all kinds of crimes, some are farmers from nearby villages, and some are simply ninjas from Wuyin Village.How to properly screen and arrange these people is also a big problem.
For example, at the bottom of the hillside, those adults who work with the blood-step children are the part that Xing Shoulang has observed carefully and are not easy to be hostile to other people, so he brought them out.
As for the rest of the people whose situation is still uncertain, they are still isolated one by one in the prison area on the second floor of the base, there are as many as a hundred people.Coupled with the three batches that he is about to bring back, the number of people will not be too small.
"These people can be handed over to the daimyo of the country of water, and let him find a way to identify them. The key is these helpless children."
Butterfly frowned, and said firmly: "They must not stay in this country anymore."
"The fourth Mizukage is dead, and the decree has been abolished."
Yi Yong said puzzledly, "If we find their relatives who may still be alive, maybe we can raise them up..."
"It's not that simple."
Butterfly Ninja shook his head and interrupted him: "I know Giyuu's thoughts. You think this is the same as killing Oni Wu Tsuji, and all ghosts will cease to exist. All mistakes are the fault of the initiator, as long as the evil Everything is going to get better slowly, isn't it?"
"Yeah." Giyuu nodded, "Didn't the daimyo of the country of water always want this country to return to normal? Now he has no obstacles."
"It's a very simple idea."
Butterfly Ren asked: "But have you ever thought about the impact of so many years of cruel policies on this country, many of which are irreversible in a short period of time."
Butterfly Shinobu intends to give some examples.
"The reforms in the late Meiji period have proved that no matter how outrageous the policy, there will always be beneficiaries.
"According to what I have learned in the past few days, the Four Generations of Mizukage persecuted the villages with blood successor boundaries, but at the same time they also targeted those blood successor families. Although this approach is puzzling, it has given a large number of civilian ninjas more The opportunity for promotion, and even the privilege of killing first and playing later.
"Now he is dead, but these beneficiaries are still there, and the conflict between them and the big family that was damaged in the past few years is on the verge of breaking out. Next, Mist Ninja Village will be used to solve this problem for a long time. Contradictions, the country of water is still not at peace. If these children continue to live in the people of the country of water, they will either become a vent for the civilian ninjas; or they will be taken away and become tools for the blood-successful ninjas."
Butterfly paused, "Furthermore, the policy of the fourth generation of Mizukage not only affected the concept of ninjas, but also made the people regard these special children as disaster stars and enemies; Trust people who are different from them.”
There was a trace of disgust in her tone, "For example, that Yaoshidou cooperated with Dashe Wan to destroy the homes of those children, but many of them not only did not hate him, but were very grateful, please don't kill him. Can you Can you figure it out?"
Not to mention righteous bravery, even Xing Julang raised his eyebrows strangely, feeling a little weird.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not difficult to understand why they came up with this idea. The villages destroyed by Orochimaru were either discovered by Kirigakure ninjas that there is a blood succession limit, and they are about to be destroyed; or the villagers are trying to survive. , planning to attack these children in advance.
"But no matter what kind it is, most of these children have experienced the disillusionment of being regarded as enemies by the villagers after the blood succession boundary was exposed. If they are lucky, they are hidden at home by their parents and are not allowed to go out to meet people at all; more unlucky The other was locked up without water or food, and the people in the village were waiting for him to fend for himself. At this time, the psychic beast of Orochimaru destroyed their home, but they It just happened that I completely lost my trust in my parents, family and fellow villagers...
"Afterwards, Yaoshidou appeared as a savior. He promised them food, strength and future. Even if we exposed the truth and told them it was a trap, some people still hated Yaoshidou and Dashewan at all. I can't. Because in their view, if there was no accident, they would probably die at the hands of their biological parents. Although they can't talk about gratitude, they have 'benefited' from it."
Under the warm sunshine, Butterfly Ren's words made people feel cold all over.
"Can you call the actions of the villagers evil? But the policy is there. If these children with blood inheritance limits are not targeted, they will all face the danger of being killed.
"Can you call these children who are grateful to Yaoshidou and Dashewan without conscience? If it wasn't the villagers who died, it would be them, and they died in the unimaginable despair of being betrayed by their families. And this is the distortion that Kirigakure's policy has brought to the people. Once the bond of family affection is destroyed, it will never be restored within a generation...
"Can you imagine the consequences of continuing to let these children grow up in such a place?"
"It's really a pity, they are obviously only young..."
Xing Shoulang stood up and looked down at the children who were chopping trees and transporting rocks, and seemed quite happy for the time being.
"But their trust in people has been ruthlessly destroyed! If they are allowed to grow up in this country, they will never experience the kind of warmth that people should fully experience, and naturally they will not bring this kind of warmth to others! Over time, they will become distant and withdrawn, hard-hearted..."
But immediately, he turned around and said loudly: "But we have to let them understand that even if they get hurt, even if they think they have 1 reasons to hate the world, even if they think everyone is their enemy , or potential enemies, but the goodwill, friendship, and family affection in life can still pull them back from the cliff of despair! No matter what kind of predicament they sink into, there must still be light in their hearts!"
"us!"
Xing Shoulang turned his back to the morning sun, patted his chest heavily, and looked at Yiyong and Shinobu with infinite hope.
"It's up to us to be their family and friends! Be the one who can pull them back from the cold abyss! It's up to us to give them a warm home! We are strong and have the ability; Very young, but also have this energy and patience! As long as we persevere, we will definitely be able to do this!"
"That's right." Butterfly endured the bloodshot cheeks and said with a smile, "That's exactly what I thought."
"At least," Yi Yong also nodded solemnly, "We can't let them become the same people as those who harmed them. In that case, everything we did before would be meaningless."
The three reached a consensus again.
"But," Yiyong changed his voice, "after leaving their hometown, where should we take them?"
"The way I see it, it's pretty good here."
Butterfly Ninja turned over the map of the country of water, and on the back was a map of the ninja world.
And the position where her finger pressed was the center of the world.
"According to Yaoshidou, Orochimaru's bases are all over the ninja world. And this country is located in the center of the mainland, no matter where you go, the distance is about the same. Even if he is really resurrected, it will be much more convenient for us to start from here to find him. Finally The key is that you know this place well."
Yi Yong and Xing Shou Lang looked down and expressed their disapproval in unison: "The Land of Rain?"
"Yes. It is unrealistic to take them to settle in a big country. Every big country has its own ninja village and daimyo, and we bring a group of children who have blood inheritance limits, and there is more or less the risk of being targeted and used. Although the three of us are not Weak, but the children are not ready yet, if they are raised in a big country, there are many things to worry about. Moreover, we need to reduce the influence of ninjas on them.”
Butterfly Shinobi took out a stack of folded papers from the pocket of his white coat.
"I searched around last night and found some records of Orochimaru. I noticed that Daimyo of the Rain Country seems to have ignored state affairs for many years. Although it is in the center of the world, it is a relatively closed country, except for the strategic value of geography during wartime , There are almost no resources worthy of attention, so big countries are not interested in it. This country is comparable in size to Switzerland, but according to Orochimaru's calculations, it has a population of less than 10.
"Considering that these contents were written by him ten years ago, the population of the Land of Rain should be smaller now, and the only Sanjiao Hanzo that needs to be cared about is also dead, and the new leader (referring to Xiaonan) and Xing Julang are also familiar Taken together, this place is the best for our self-sufficient life and for the children to grow up in relative privacy."
Obviously, Butterfly Ninja had already planned accordingly, so he started doing his homework last night.
"The Land of Rain does have an advantage in geographical location, but self-sufficiency is probably impossible!"
Xing Julang has a full understanding of the country of the rain, and put forward the reasons for his opposition: "During the Second Ninja World War, Sansho Hanzo fought against ninjas from various countries and released a large amount of poison. Because the battlefield is on a plain where the land can be farmed. The poisonous gas completely polluted the land, and the crops died in the war; while in the dense forest less affected by the toxin, there are terrifying beasts and poisonous insects everywhere, which are extremely dangerous and not suitable for people to live in!
"For many years, the ninjas led by Hanzo have been the only economic pillar of the Land of Rain, and it is precisely because of this that ordinary people are insignificant in the Land of Rain. Now that Hanzo is dead, Hidden Rain Village has a new leader, but still The environment in this country is really too harsh!"
Butterfly Ninja didn't care much about these, but grasped a key point: "What do you mean by native crops?"
"A type of rice that is resistant to flooding, it is said that it can thrive after three months of continuous rain."
Xing Shoulang replied, "It's just that after the rain and the soil are full of sanshotoxin, this kind of rice can no longer survive."
No surprises for the butterflies: "Rice is a self-pollinating crop, and it's not surprising that it evolved too slowly to adapt to new environments."
"Self-pollination?" This is an uncommon and awkward word. When repeating it, Xing Julang was not even sure if he could write the word correctly.
Although Yiyong didn't speak, his blank expression showed that he needed to add some scientific knowledge.
"You don't deal with drugs and insects very much. It's not surprising that you don't know about these. It seems that I need to explain to you what is the evolution of plants and what is self-pollination..."
Butterfly held back his chin with his fingers and pondered for a while, then suddenly asked, "Do you know carrot legs?"
Yiyong and Xing Shoulang nodded at the same time: "It means that people's calves are as thick as white radishes."
"That's what it means." Butterfly suppressed a smile, "But do you know that in the Heian era, radish legs were not only used to say that people's legs were thick, but they were used to praise other people's legs for being thin and long?"
Thinking about the shape of his favorite radish, Giyuu shook his head: "The gap is too big."
"With the efforts of dozens of generations, nothing is impossible."
Butterfly stretched out two slender fingers and gestured, "It is recorded in the book that most of the white radishes in the Heian period were only this thin, and the roots were particularly long. And the round, white and tender radishes we eat , is a new variety that has been bred by people for 500 years, and it did not become ubiquitous until the Edo period.
"Actually, the principle of breeding is very simple. It is to pick out those skinny radishes with poor quality, and only plant the seeds of those good-quality radishes, and then let these high-quality radishes pollinate each other, and repeat this process continuously. Hundreds of years In the end, the radishes of poor quality were completely eliminated, leaving only the one we eat today.
"In other words, through this kind of artificial elimination, we have achieved the evolution and evolution of radish varieties, and tamed them into what we want. But the plants we tame are far more than just radishes, wheat and rice are also in.
"It's just different from radishes. The pollination of radishes is cross-pollination. It's like your parents gave birth to you. Although the three of you are similar, you are essentially different people. As generations go on, the differences will become bigger and bigger. , and changes in the environment will guide this difference, so that offspring can better adapt to this environment and achieve evolution, avoiding being eliminated by the new environment.
"However, rice, a self-pollinating crop, is like self-replication, and the difference between generations is very small. Once this kind of crop wants to evolve, it takes much longer than the former, which leads to Once the environment changes drastically, self-pollinating plants die out before they can evolve."
Yi Yong asked: "You mean, we can grow other, cross-pollinated crops in the Land of Rain?"
"No, it's not just that. I have a more reliable method, which is to use external forces to make the speed of crop evolution catch up with the speed of drastic changes in the environment. Look at this apple seed in my hand..."
Butterfly stood up reluctantly, shoveled the ground behind him, and buried the apple seed in the soil.
Then she knelt down on one knee and folded her hands on the ground, "Now, I use Mutun's ability to turn Chakra into the nutrients it needs to grow, making it grow rapidly."
As soon as she finished speaking, a young green seedling that swelled in the wind burst out of the ground, and quickly grew and widened, hardened the soft skin, and became a fruit tree more than two meters high and the thickness of an ordinary person's arm.
Immediately afterwards, small pink and white flowers appeared on the branches of the apple, but they fell off immediately; then its receptacle swelled rapidly, and turned into green fruits in just a few seconds, and finally the fruits turned red quickly , into a fist-sized apple.
In total, it took less than 20 seconds from planting the seed to producing a new apple.
"20 seconds." Butterfly Ninja stretched out two fingers, and said proudly: "I can make a fruit tree go through a generation in 20 seconds. If I repeat this work continuously for an hour and a moment, It can make apples multiply for 180 generations, and 24 hours a day is 4320 generations...It is equivalent to 7 years of human evolution (taking 18 years as a generation)!"
Hearing this number, Yi Yong and Xing Shou Lang couldn't help cheering up.
After 7 years of evolution, are you afraid that you will not be able to breed crops that are resistant to toxins?
"It feels very hopeful."
At this time, Butterfly Shinobu smiled slyly: "But if you really have to think that way, you're wrong."
As she spoke, she jumped up and picked an apple from the treetop, and then broke it hard, "Look, is there any difference between this apple?"
Yiyong and Xingshoulang stared at it for five or six seconds, only to realize that the apple in Butterfly Ninja's hand was not the same as a normal apple: "No seeds!"
"Yes. In most cases, only plants that have undergone pollination will produce seeds, and the next generation of crops can be planted with seeds. I can use wood to force apples to bear fruit, but pollination requires another Work. Of course, I can artificially pollinate, but the speed of plant iteration will not be very fast. If I plant a hundred of the same crop and add pollination, one generation will be very reluctant; if I can use insects to pollinate, things will be easier. It will become very simple, and two to three generations a day can be achieved."
Butterfly Ren concluded: "In short, the general process is like this.
"In the first step, I planted the seeds of the crops in slightly toxic soil where they can barely survive, and provided nutrients with wood chakra to make them grow.
"The second step is cross-pollination, either artificially or using insects, to ensure that the crop produces seeds.
"The third step is to force the plants to bear fruit before they are killed by the soil or rain, and the seeds are harvested and replanted. Then this cycle is repeated hundreds of times and thousands of times, gradually increasing the toxicity of the soil, and after one generation after another, it will There are thousands or even tens of thousands of new varieties, at least one of which can produce poisonous ability while satisfying the safety of consumption.
"At that time, large-scale planting in the country of rain will not be a problem. Besides, the total population of a country is only so large. We don't need much land, so we pick the least toxic soil from the beginning That's it..."
"Including the workload of pollination, how long will it take?"
Xing Shoulang's eyes were already full of confidence.
If crop breeding is successful, not only will the homeless children of the Land of Water have a secure life, but those refugees in the Land of Rain who can only pick berries and mushrooms will no longer have to live in fear. Find your own value.
【The angel from the Land of Rain must be very happy to know about this, right? 】
"Conservative estimate, one to two years."
Butterfly looked at Yiyong, "If there is a way to control the pollination of insects, it may be faster."
Yiyong responded: "Konoha's oil girl clan has a secret technique to control insects. I can ask, but this is a family skill that people rely on for survival. There is little hope of telling me."
Butterfly squinted his eyes dangerously, "Do you think there was such a scum in this family who killed innocent people indiscriminately?"
If there is, she can justifiably "rob" this kind of secret technique, and she will be atonement for this family.After all, those who fought in the Land of Rain had their share in Konoha.
"Konoha's ninjas are relatively peaceful, and it's not known yet."
Yiyong nodded, "But I will check when I go back."
"Okay." Butterfly Shinobu nodded, and then looked at Xing Julang, "The weather in the Land of Rain and the Land of Water is very humid, and when there is heavy fog, there will also be toxins in the fog, which means that the crops here are also resistant to poison. During the recent period, we can collect the unique crops here, and then use them to crossbreed with the same genus crops in the Land of Rain, and see if there will be better mutant varieties after hundreds of generations and thousands of generations. .”
"Okay, I will definitely pay attention!"
Xing Julang said that he sincerely praised: "I didn't expect that the matter that made the strongest people in the ninja world (referring to Nagato) helpless, could be solved in this way. Shinobi is indeed the brains of the Demon Slayer Squad."
"It's just an idea now, and things will definitely not go as smoothly as we thought."
Butterfly Shinobu was a little ashamed of being praised, "Although I hate guys like Orochimaru, he is indeed a talented person and has given me a lot of inspiration. I think it is necessary to learn a lot of things he left behind. Learning, you can avoid a lot of detours...
"But what really works," Butterfly Ren turned his head to look at Yi Yong, showing a smile that really belongs to him rather than a habit, "It is the resurrection carrier you chose for me. No matter how you look at it, this body My physical abilities are perfect for me. Thank you, Giyu."
[Sure enough, just like Xing Shoulang said, the relationship has been drawn in. 】
Yiyong can tell that Butterfly Shinobi is really happy now.
However, Sasuke said that when Dad is happy, it is when he asks the family to go to the Fire City to watch a new movie.
"Since you thank me..."
Yi Yong said in a discussing tone, "Can you release the ghost lamp and water moon? Although he is not a flesh and blood body like you and me, it won't work if he freezes like this."
"Sure enough, like I said."
Butterfly curled her eyebrows and eyes into a crescent shape, and the meaning in her smile was completely different from a few seconds ago.
"Yiyong, you are really good at watching the atmosphere sometimes."
