On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto

Haoyi is going on a mission again.

Although I had been on several missions before, they were all short-term and I returned in about ten days.

This time, at the strong request of the Third Elder, he was going to the Iron Kingdom with the people from the Weapons Department, not only to purchase raw materials, but also to negotiate next year's weapons orders with the suppliers there.

It will probably take two to three months to come back.

Koichi squatted down, looked into Kyojuro's eyes and asked, "Kyojuro, is there anything you want?"

Kyojuro thought about it, if the Iron Kingdom is a country of samurai and swords,

"Dad, I want a knife, the kind that can carry power."

I wonder if there are any gorilla scarlet sandstones in this world.

"Hmm... it should be a sword that can carry chakra. When dad finds out, he will bring it back for Kyojuro."

Kyojuro is really thoughtful. He knew that I was going to the Iron Country this time, so he specifically thought of gifts that could be obtained directly from the Iron Country.

I've decided to buy Ninja Iron from the Land of Iron and ask the master to help me forge it.

Haoyi reached out and rubbed his son's hair, then hugged him reluctantly.

"I'm leaving!"

"Goodbye, Dad! Come back safely!"

……

Dad is gone.

My uncle hasn't come back yet.

Uncle Madara recently received an exploratory mission, saying that traces of huge wild beasts were found in the Land of Fire. Although the farmland was not trampled, the farmers nearby were always in a panic. The city lord entrusted Uchiha, and it is estimated that he will not be back until next week.

Kyojuro is a bit boring.

He looked towards the yard, only to find that a little Uchiha's head suddenly popped out from the wall of his own yard.

"Ayou? What are you doing?"

Uchiha Yu, who was discovered, clung to the wall with one hand and waved his arms towards Kyojuro.

"Kyojuro Kyojuro, let's go explore the forest!"

"Sure," Kyojuro quickly wrote a note, explaining where he was going, and placed it on the table in the living room. He then walked towards the door.

Ah You lowered his head and reported to his companions.

"Kyojuro agreed!"

"Great!!!"

"Come down quickly, I can't hold on any longer!"

"Are you still a ninja? Can't you support this little weight?"

"Obviously, you're too heavy, Ayou! Every time Kyojuro brings snacks, you're the one who eats the most!"

"Ouch!"

When Kyojuro walked out of the yard, what he saw was the Uchiha dumplings scattered all over the ground.

"You! Xiaoxue! Jin!"

He hurried over, helped them up one by one, and brushed the dust off their clothes.

"Are you hurt from the fall? Do you want to go to the pharmacy?"

Uchiha Jin jumped a few times on the spot to show that he was intact.

"Kyojuro, I'm fine. This height is nothing for a man!"

“Because you are at the bottom.”

Uchiha Yu complained while rubbing his butt.

"That doesn't matter!"

Uchiha Xue pulled Kyojuro's arm and raised his other hand high.

"Everyone is here, let's go!"

"Oh!"

After they followed Uchiha Xue for a few steps, Jin suddenly asked,

"Where are we going?"

"It's in the forest next to the training ground in the east."

"It's still in the clan territory, boring."

"Hey, it's too early to talk."

After they walked into the forest, Uchiha Xue suddenly lowered her voice.

"My mother told me that things are not going well here lately."

"Why...what's wrong?"

Uchiha Jin's voice trembled, but he still asked stubbornly.

Uchiha You silently stood beside Kyojuro and quietly pulled Kyojuro's sleeve.

"It's haunted!!"

In an instant, it seemed as if even the sunlight disappeared, and the forest became eerily silent.

Plop--

"!!!!!!"

A flock of birds suddenly took off, and the sound of their flapping wings startled the children.

After calming down, Uchiha Xue continued to tell the legend she heard from her mother.

"It is said that someone in the tribe saw an eye that suddenly appeared at night and stared at you. No matter where you go, that eye will always be staring at you."

"It's bright yellow and so big!"

"There was also a strange cry coming from nowhere, like the wind blowing through the gates of hell"

Jin silently moved a little closer to Kyojuro.

"The scariest thing is, when there's no one around you, and there's not even a sound, suddenly! Your shoulder is touched."

"what!!!"

Jin instantly ejected and jumped directly behind Kyojuro, grabbing the hem of Kyojuro's clothes tightly and refusing to let go.

"Jin, it's me."

Yu raised his hand innocently.

"Hahahahahaha, Jin is a coward!"

"You! Xue! Both of you!"

"boo——boo——uoo————"

! ! ! !

"Ah! What's that sound!"

"Shhh!!"

The four of them gathered immediately, each listening in one direction.

"boo——boo——uoo——"

"This way!"

The four of them maintained their formation and moved cautiously. Kyojuro thought about the shouting he had just heard.

That should be it.

The sound is getting closer.

"Everyone, let's watch our steps. That thing should be under the tree."

"boo——"

"found it!"

"what? What!"

"So ugly! What is this?"

Kyojuro carefully picked up the little gray thing on the ground and happily showed it to his friends.

"It's an owl's chick!"

"It must have fallen from a bird's nest."

Yu looked up at the nearest tree and saw no signs of a bird's nest.

Short wings, a pointed beak, messy fur, eyes that are too big compared to the head, and it's even standing!

Xue curled her lips in disdain, "What a weird-looking thing, Kyojuro, do you really want to hold... this thing all the time?"

Yu thought of something, "Kyojuro, we don't have owls in the Land of Fire. Could it be that someone brought it from the north?"

"If that's the case, then we need to tell the clan leader as soon as possible!"

Jin instantly thought of the story his grandmother told him when he was a child, "Strangers came into our tribe and stole our children!"

"But Uncle Grandpa is not in the clan now, let's go tell Aunt Su."

……

After listening to the children's reports, which were a bit immature but clear, Uchiha Su first criticized them seriously, and then gave each of them a gold square as a reward.

"Although it is not advisable for you to go into the woods without an adult, you were able to distinguish the owl cubs, realize that owls are not a species of the Fire Country, and quickly come back to report after noticing something unusual..."

Uchiha Su paused deliberately, then happily touched each child.

“Well done~”

"You all took the stories told by Grandma Huizi seriously and remembered them all. That's great!"

The little Uchiha looked at each other, Jin and Kyojuro immediately laughed, You pursed his lips a little embarrassedly, but Su discovered that he actually had a dimple.

Uchiha Xue was still asking persistently, "Aunt, you haven't told me where this ugly cub came from!"

"They were sent from the Land of Lightning. They originally sent a pair of owls and asked us to train them to see if we could train them to be ninja beasts that could deliver messages at night. As a result, when the training was almost done, the big owl laid eggs and incubated them here. The hatched cubs couldn't stand the temperature of the Land of Fire, so we notified them to take the big owl and the little cubs back."

"This little guy probably accidentally fell out of the nest the day before he was picked up, and ended up being left here."

Uchiha Su pointed at one of the owl's wings and said, "Look, its wing has been broken."

You asked, "But I don't see any bird's nest in the tree."

"That's because owls don't build their own nests, so if there's no existing nest for them to live in, they'll live in tree holes."

Kyojuro frowned, "Auntie, can it be cured?"

Uchiha Suhui asked, "Do you want to raise Kyojuro?"

Do you want to raise it?

Kyojuro understood what Uchiha Su meant. Medical resources are precious no matter where they are. Does he really want to spend precious resources on an owl that he doesn't know if it can grow up, and doesn't know if it can be used by him after it grows up?

To put it another way,

If he can find value in the owl, it should be allowed to be treated.

What are the advantages of owls?

The hearing is exceptionally good. If a ninja chooses an owl as a summoning beast, it will be of great help in obtaining intelligence, which is better than contracting other birds.

He remembered that in his previous life, some Western researchers said that owls could fly silently, had a wider field of vision than ordinary birds, and had strong dynamic vision, making them a very advantageous bird at night.

Compared to ordinary birds, owls, which can move at night without being discovered, should be more suitable for ninjas hiding in the dark.

If he had to contract a certain type of bird as his spiritual beast, the owl would be the best choice among all the birds that could not speak.

Kyojuro confirmed his thoughts and looked at Uchiha Su.

“I want to keep it.”

"What about the ninja beast training later?"

"I will learn from the uncles in the clan."

Uchiha Su knew that Kyojuro had considered the difficulties he would face later, so he was relieved.

"Let's go find the guy at the pharmacy. Maybe the sunflowers are enough to cure this lucky little guy."

The three little Uchiha who were sitting in a row eating snacks tilted their heads in confusion.

“Can sunflowers be used for healing?”

You didn't remember that the encyclopedia of medicinal plants his grandfather gave him included the entry that sunflowers could cure fractures.

"I don't know, Jin. Did your grandfather tell you about it?"

Xue has no idea about things like plants.

"No."

Jin was not interested in the medicinal herbs his grandfather talked about. He preferred to go and play with Uncle Huofeng.

"Then why did Auntie say that sunflowers can cure ugly things?"

----

A month later, after completing her first long-term garrison mission, Izumi finally took off her women's clothes and changed back into her tribal uniform.

When he went back, he also brought his own shamisen, ready to show off his skills to Madara and Kyojuro.

It’s a pity that Brother Haoyi was out and missed my wonderful performance.

As he thought about this, Izuna pushed open the door of his house.

"Wow! What is this!?"

As soon as she entered the house, Izumi was successfully startled by the new member of the family.

The owl, which was standing on the door frame and tilting its head back to observe Izuna, was also startled and hurriedly flapped its wings and flew into the house to find its owner.

"Oh, it's Izuna, welcome back! Have you seen Maomao?"

Madara, who was still wondering why the owl named Maomao by Kyojuro suddenly flew into the house, looked up and suddenly saw himself for a long time - not too long, because every time he went on a mission he would force himself to go to the red-light district to take a look, so the two brothers had only not seen each other for fifteen days - the younger brother he had not seen.

He immediately gave Izuna a brotherly hug.

"Maomao? That ugly thing actually has such a cute name?!!!"

You can’t blame Izuna for disliking Maomao’s current ugliness.

Mainly sub-adult owls in an awkward period…

Long legs, long face, long body and small head.

There is a circle of swollen hair around the head, which is completely disconnected from the hair on the face, making it look like a bald monkey.

"Brother Madara, you're just going to let Kyojuro raise it? It's so ugly! Granny Cat has so many beautiful kittens, and we have handsome ninja hawks and crows at home. Why is Kyojuro so stupid to raise such a thing?!"

Having seen too many obvious disparities between beauty and ugliness in the red-light district, Izumi found that she could no longer tolerate ugly things.

Uchiha Madara had seen those two big owls, and he thought they were quite cute.

"It's just the animal's awkward period. Why don't you wait another two weeks and see."

"Besides, Kyojuro rarely said he wanted to keep this..."

Uchiha Madara looked at Izuna with a look that said, "Are you willing to make such a good boy like Kyojuro sad?"

Izuna covered her eyes with one hand, and three seconds later,

"Kyojuro! Uncle heard that you have a summoning beast~ Wow! So cute!"

Well, you are worthy of being someone who studied in Huajie!

……

Two weeks later.

Izuna had to admit that Ban Ge was right.

It’s really cute!

what happened!

What are those two tufts of feathers protruding from the head?

Even when he walks he jumps!

"Brother Ban, brother Ban, brother Ban! Do you feel that?"

"You think so too, don't you?"

"so cute!"

Kyojuro's owl looks like Kyojuro!

(What Kyojuro picked up was a hairy-legged fishing owl cub. This owl has two tufts of hair on its forehead, but they are not the two feathers of the familiar eagle owl. All the information is from Baidu Encyclopedia. If anyone finds any errors, please help point them out and I will modify them later.

In an artificial breeding environment, it is difficult to determine whether the food is to the owl's taste, and it is difficult to safely deliver the food to the owl's mouth. More often than not, the owl will ignore the carefully prepared food and may die of dehydration after a few days. Kyojuro was able to raise the owl cub only because of his eldest brother's extraordinary talent.

Attention! It is illegal to keep owls privately in my country! You must obtain relevant certificates to prove that you are qualified to keep owls before you can keep them! It is just possible!)
