Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

Just when Goto Haruki announced the rewards of this Haiku Contest on the stage, Kurosaki Ichigo also quietly came to the scene, but his movements were light and agile and did not cause any commotion, so whether it was Nariko or Sadhu Neither of them noticed his arrival.

Although his attention was focused on Sadui and Lint not far away, Kurosaki Ichigo clearly heard what Goto Haruki announced.

Compared to the four Nariko and Sadui who came to watch the fun and other purposes, Kurosaki Ichigo understood how tempting this reward was, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and lamented what Yugakure Village was doing for this. The Haiku Convention really cost a lot of money.

Unlike the vast majority of people in the ninja world who think that strength is paramount, Kurosaki Ichigo, who has received modern formal and systematic education, does not reject literature. You must know that he is good at both moral and academic subjects and is best at Chinese subjects, so He also learned about the development of literature after coming to this world.

Before the Ninja Village Era, which lasted for more than ten years, there was the Warring States Period, which lasted for thousands of years.Affected by the war, the development of literature in this world has been extremely slow, and it can even be said to have stagnated.After all, in a long war, keeping one's life and filling one's stomach are the most important things. Where can one have time to study literature?

However, this is just a common situation in the great era, and there are no exceptions. One of the special cases is Yuncheng Zhonghuo, who is known as the ancestor of haiku.

Yuncheng Zhonghuo was born more than 600 years ago and was a prince of the Kingdom of Thunder. At that time, there was no dual leadership system in the country of Ninja Village, so the Kingdom of Thunder was still ruled by the king at that time.

As a high-ranking official in a large country, Yuncheng Zhuanghuo could be said to have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He has lived a peaceful and peaceful life that is envied by everyone since he was a child.It is this kind of peaceful life that allows Yuncheng Zhonghuo not to worry about his livelihood, and thus has more time to delve into his favorite literature.

Throughout the life of Yuncheng Zhonghuo, it can be said that he has made a lot of achievements, and has achieved very high achievements in many fields such as novels, essays, fables and fairy tales. Even Kurosaki Ichigo, who stands on the shoulders of giants, can't help but lament his talent. It is truly shocking.

It is a pity that Yuncheng Zhonghuo was born in such a ninja world where strength is paramount and a Warring States era with endless wars. Therefore, his literary achievements are basically unappreciated except by Kurosaki Ichigo hundreds of years later.

Perhaps it was unintentional, but I am afraid that Yuncheng Zhuanghuo himself did not expect that the long masterpiece he had worked so hard to write would not be valued by others. Instead, it was a small poem he wrote casually when he was bored. Because it is short, concise, easy to understand, and threshold Low and popular, he himself is called the ancestor of haiku.

You know, not only the few literati in later generations, but also many ninjas are very fond of the haiku created by Yuncheng Zhonghuo.There are even many people, like the samurai in Kurosaki Ichigo's original world, who would ask for a haiku from a scholar during their lifetime as a death poem to be recited before their death.

However, due to the limitations of the war-torn era, although haiku is liked by many people, it has never been able to develop.Until more than ten years ago, the ninja god Senju Hashirama pacified the ninja world and brought peace to this continent that had not lasted for thousands of years. As a result, haiku developed rapidly.

Perhaps it was suppressed for too long, and the explosion came extremely violently.In just a dozen years, a large number of excellent haiku works have emerged, even more than those produced in the previous hundreds of years.

Among them, the seven haiku masters with the largest number of works and the highest quality are collectively known as the Seven Haiku Masters. In addition to Goshima Haruki, Yamada Kanyoshi and Arakawa Fumori on the stage, these seven people also include Murashita Yohantei, There are four people: Yataro Hayashi, Hanamoto Irie and Nori Nagaoka.

These seven people can be said to be the top people in the Chunin world literary world in this era. Now Goto Haruki has announced that as long as she can win the Haiku Competition, she can accept the teachings of three of them. This is for most people. It's a temptation that's hard to refuse.You must know that a haiku writer can become a guest of a great country and a famous person, and live a life without worries about food and drink.

Of course, under the influence of the atmosphere of Tangyin Village, the following audience does not have such utilitarian ideas, but the residents who advocate peace are very enthusiastic about literature. Being able to receive the guidance of three literary giants is simply more beneficial than profit. Get them excited.

Looking at the people around him whose eyes were becoming fanatical, Sanada Hirohiro looked at Goto Haruki and the other three people in the stands. He couldn't help but strangely leaned into Nariko's ear and whispered, "This reward is very good. I really don't understand them." What’s there to be excited about?”

Naliko has received a good education since childhood, and has been influenced by Kurosaki Ichigo in recent years, so she is also quite familiar with literature. She responded Wen Sheng, "The three on the stage are all literary masters. They can It will definitely be exciting to have their tutelage.”

Naturally, Sanada Hirohiro didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask anymore. Seeing that Nali had no intention of leaving, he couldn't say anything about leaving, so he could only mutter and look around, "It's so boring, damn it, eh."

Sanada Hirohiro, who looked around, suddenly screamed in surprise. Nariko's attention was also attracted by her, and she turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Hirohiro?"

Sanada Hirohiro pointed toward the gap in the crowd, "Don't you think that's Kurosaki? Huh, this guy couldn't tell, so he ran out behind the two of us." Looking along Sanada Hirohiro's finger, Nari was surprised. I found that Kurosaki Ichigo was actually standing among the crowd, as if looking very seriously at the high platform.

"Kurosaki Kurosaki" Sanada Hirohiro didn't care so much and waved directly to the other side and said hello loudly, attracting the attention of many people around him.

Naturally, Kurosaki Ichigo heard Sanada Hirohiro's cry and couldn't help but smile bitterly.Just now, he was pretending to be looking at the high platform while observing Sadui and the two from the corner of his eyes, and did not notice the existence of Nariko and Sanada Hirohiro.Unexpectedly, they discovered his traces, and even let Sanada Hirohiro shout out his existence.

Seeing Sadoui and Lint looking at him in surprise, Kurosaki Ichigo had to pretend not to notice them, and instead squeezed to Hirohiro Sanada and Nariko and said, "Hey, why did you come here? This is a haiku convention." , do you know what haiku is?”

Sanada Hirohiro's face puffed up, and he thought to himself that I haven't troubled you yet, but you laughed at me first, so he said angrily, "I don't know what haiku is, isn't it just a few sentences connected together? Why are you pretending to be so big?" There is still a tail wolf, and you haven’t told me how you got here.”

Kurosaki Ichigo glanced at Sanada Hirohiro and said casually, "When I was at the hotel, I heard that there was going to be a haiku convention here. It just so happened that I thought I was different from a vulgar martial artist like you, and I still had some cultural knowledge. , so come here to take a look.”

"You are the vulgar martial artist" Sanada Hirohiro glared at Kurosaki Ichigo.

Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo and Sanada Hirohiro bickering, without even a glance turning to his side, Sadoui, whose heartbeat had sped up because of Kurosaki Ichigo's sudden appearance, hesitated, "Look at this guy, he doesn't seem to have anything." Find out if he really came here for this reason."

"What are you mumbling about, Saduy?" Linte couldn't help but asked strangely when she saw Saduy's eyes were blank and her lips were moving, as if she was thinking about something.Linte, who was unaware of Kurosaki Ichigo's previous stalking behavior, was only a little surprised to see him again, but was not as concerned as Sadui.

Sadui was startled, then forced a smile to cover it up and said, "Ah, it's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that it would be fun if we participated in some haiku competition and won first place."

"That's right." As Sadui's perfunctory reason, this idea was just mentioned casually, but Linte took it seriously, looked at Sadui with shining eyes and said, "Sardui, you are so talented, you can definitely do it. Compare all these guys and get the No. 1 one." She knew that Sadui, who was promoted by Ai as the Raikage's assistant, had excellent writing skills, and even the great names praised her haiku.

After hearing Linte's words, Sadui secretly complained in her heart. Obviously she didn't expect Linte to take her words seriously, so she had no choice but to agree with a smile, but she made up her mind that if Kurosaki Ichigo and others left in a while, , just write something casually and catch up quickly.

Kurosaki Ichigo, who had been eavesdropping on Sadui's conversation, was moved in his heart. He secretly wondered why the two girls wanted to participate in the Haiku Convention. At the same time, he said to Hirohiro Sanada, "In that case, how about we make a bet?" "

Hirohiro Sanada raised his head and said, "What kind of bet are you making?"

Kurosaki Ichigo said, "Let's participate in the Haiku Contest together. Whoever gets a higher ranking means that he is more educated and he is not a stupid warrior."

"It's a deal," Sanada Hirohiro agreed with a proud smile on his face, and even his eyes narrowed with joy.

You must know that the Iron Kingdom only remains neutral and is not isolated from the world, so it is natural to be exposed to things like haiku.Although Sanada Hirohiro has no interest in this kind of thing, her master Jonouchi Ichimura can be called a master of haiku.

Haiku poems are short and concise, so when he had nothing to do, Sanada Hirohiro also memorized many haiku poems written by Ichimura in the city. At this time, he was naturally full of confidence when he entered the competition and wanted to defeat Kurosaki Ichigo.

As for Kurosaki Ichigo, he never thought that he would lose. Even if he couldn't write any good haiku, he could just copy a few of Matsuo Basho's haiku. He still didn't believe in this true haiku saint. The works will not be as good as the works of this world where the level of literature is extremely low.

At this time, Goto Haruki, who was on the high platform, had already finished explaining the competition rules of this haiku competition. With an order, the crowd rushed towards the empty yard behind the high platform.

It was a huge venue covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters. There were hundreds of tables inside. On the tables were placed white paper and pens and ink for people to write. Kurosaki Ichigo and Sadui also had their own With different thoughts, he followed the crowd into the competition venue.
