On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto

After the digging team came back from their hard work, they immediately transformed into a pottery team.

Under Kyojuro's command, they first broke the dug-up white soil into pieces, pounded it into powder, then washed it to remove impurities, and waited quietly for the white soil to settle to the bottom of the basin.

While waiting for the sediment to settle, several little Uchiha gathered together to eat snacks. Uchiha Xue said,

"Kyojuro, you're amazing. You even know how to make pottery."

Before Kyojuro could come up with a reasonable excuse, Uchiha Jin answered quickly.

"Because it's Kyojuro, so you know! Kyojuro is a genius!"

"Ajin, this is your smartest moment."

“I’ve always been smart!”

?

Kyojuro tilted his head, suddenly realizing something.

After the white soil had settled, they poured out the water on the top and added clean water again.

Start playing in the mud!

"Look, look, this is Jiu Lama!"

"Hahahahaha, it's so ugly. I said it was a ninja cat."

"Mine is so good that you can see it has a head and ears. What did you make? A rice ball?"

"I pinched Kyojuro!"

"can not tell."

"Damn it! You guys have no artistic taste!"

After the few people had enough fun, they began to shape the mud carefully according to the vases and plates they had at home.

Unexpectedly, with a reference, several little Uchiha were able to copy it quite well. Even if they were not 100% similar, they could be 90% similar.

After the general shape is formed, they use kunai to shave off the parts with inappropriate thickness bit by bit, making the surface as smooth as possible.

Then they placed the processed mud blocks on wooden racks to dry.

The approaching summer sun quickly took away the moisture, and then they used bamboo knives to carve patterns on the dried mud.

Uchiha You carved the herbal flowers that he thought were beautiful.

Uchiha Jin carved his favorite fried fish.

Uchiha Xue engraved the scene of Grandma Keiko telling them a story.

Kyojuro thought about it and carved the Uchiha family crest of a round fan on the plate.

I was unanimously disliked by my friends.

"Kyojuro, you are so uncreative."

"Granny Keiko won't recognize that this is a gift from you."

"Kyojuro, would you like to carve your favorite food like me?"

"Then I'll carve something else!"

After accepting his friend's suggestion, Kyojuro carved a layer of flames on the outer circle of the fan's family crest.

The whole thing looks like a burning fan.

"……fire……"

After this, the friends reached a consensus:

Kyojuro, your aesthetic taste is terrible!

……

After the clay blocks were trimmed, Uchiha Yu asked,

"Kyojuro, can we start cooking?"

He knew some of the pottery production process, "Do we have to set the fire to burn it ourselves?"

Kyojuro shook his head, "Let's go find my dad and use their stove."

"Great!"

Uchiha Jin likes to play in the forge the most, "Can't we ask Uncle Huo Feng for help? Or Grandpa Fukutaro?"

"Ajin, you're an idiot. Granny Huizi is Grandpa Fukutaro's wife! Uncle Huofeng is her son. If the two of them knew about this, wouldn't Granny Huizi know about it in advance?"

Uchiha Yuya lowered his voice.

"We are carrying out a great secret undertaking. Keep it secret."

The three of them looked at each other and pointed their fingers at the same time.

"Shh-"

……

"That's it, Dad, can you help us?"

pika~

Facing four pairs of shining eyes, Haoyi obviously couldn't bear it and agreed to the little Uchiha's request.

"yeah!"

They took out the clay blocks they had just made from the scroll and handed them to Haoyi.

Haoyi thought about the courtyard of a pottery house he had seen before, and told the children clearly,

"In our tribe, we forge knives by directly heating them. If you want to make pottery, you can't simply put the clay into the furnace, but you have to build a kiln."

"I've only seen the appearance of the kiln. As for how to build it, we need to explore it together. What do you think? Do you want to persist?"

"want!"

"Of course!"

"We are the strongest Uchiha!"

Although this has nothing to do with Uchiha, it’s okay as long as you have the ambition.

"By the way, Uncle Haoyi, where do we build the kiln?"

"Let's go to my old yard. Kyojuro and I are staying at the clan leader's house now, so we won't be using it for the time being."

They acted right away. A group of people, big and small, immediately moved to another location. Before leaving, they did not forget to steal a bunch of bricks from the forge.

Uchiha Koichi thought about the workload and called over Ryoji, Cheng and Kyo who were currently in the clan territory.

After all, it is natural for parents to do something when their children are giving gifts to their teachers.

With the four big Uchiha working together, their efficiency was much higher than before when there were only a few of them.

They first dug an oval pit in the ground, and then left a brick-sized edge outside the pit wall to be used for building the kiln roof later.

Then, a fire chamber of a certain depth was hollowed out in a semicircular shape on the front wall of the kiln chamber, and a kiln door was hollowed out on the wall of the fire chamber to connect with the kiln pit. The kiln door was also arched, and a fire-proof wall was built at the bottom to be flush with the fire chamber [1].

Thanks to Shao, who had spent three months watching a pottery craftsman's house when he was on a mission in his early years, Gong more or less knew the internal structure of the pottery kiln. Otherwise, today, these four Uchiha fathers would really be embarrassed in front of their own children.

Finally, tamp the inner wall of the kiln and apply grass mixed with mud to make the surface smooth, then you can add firewood and bake it.

After baking two or three times, the inner wall becomes hard and then you can start firing.

……

A week later, the kiln was finally ready for use.

The pottery team was not idle during this period. They pulled out all the weeds in the clan land and took away the branches that were cut down near the sixth elder's experimental site and burned them all into ashes.

Xue asked, "Why do we need so much wood ash?"

Jin replied: "Wood ash has special properties. When a sword in our tribe is broken, we also use water made of wood ash."

You said, "Wood ash can also stop bleeding."

Kyojuro: "Kin Heyou is right!"

Xue: "I understand. Wood ash is the secret weapon of the craftsman."

Kyojuro first sprinkled a thin layer of wood ash, and then piled up the mud blanks made by several of them in the kiln, and also applied wood ash on the contact surface to prevent the blanks from sticking together.

After putting the wood in place, Kyojuro asked several uncles to add firewood and light the fire, making sure the stove was kept about 80% full.

During this time, he mixed the wood ash and the remaining white clay with water, diluting it into a slightly viscous liquid.

Several big Uchiha looked at each other and started a private chat.

'Do you understand what your son is doing?'

'No. '

'Although I don't understand it, it feels very impressive and much more complicated than pottery.'

More than ten hours later, they removed the firewood and waited for a few more hours. The temperature in the kiln dropped, and Kyojuro took out the clay blanks that had been fired once and dipped them into the liquid that had just been prepared.

The others watched Kyojuro skillfully and evenly spread the liquid on the surface of the mud, and they dared not make a sound, for fear that they would disturb the birth of something extraordinary.

The liquid-coated clay blocks are then put back into the kiln and fired again.

This time the firewood filled the entire stove, and the raging flame continued to burn all day long.

Finally, when the fired clay blocks were taken out and placed in the sun, everyone held their breath.

------

"Granny Huizi, this is our gift to you!"

The pottery team packed a big package and moved it together to Grandma Keiko's lounge.

Huizi quickly took it.

"Thank you! Wow! Can I open it now and take a look?"

"Of course!"

The little Uchiha's eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

pikapika～

Oh, what cute kids!

Grandma Huizi opened the package with a smile, and inside was a plate wrapped in straw?

Granny Huizi carefully held it up with both hands and admired it against the light.

What a beautiful white plate!

The texture is white, delicate and smooth like jade, with a soft luster, like the morning mist.

Uchiha Keiko looked at the other bottles and jars in the package one by one.

There are also patterns carved by children on it.

She touched the plates lovingly, wrapped them up in straw again, and put them back in the box.

Keiko waved to the little Uchiha children and hugged them one by one.

"Thank you! Thank you! This is really the best gift I have ever received~"

The little Uchiha all laughed.

Uchiha Jin asked excitedly, "Grandma Keiko! Can you guess which one I gave you?"

Huizi pretended to be troubled and tilted her head to think, "Hmm... you made a can engraved with fried fish."

"You guessed it right! Granny Huizi is so amazing!"

"What about me? What did I give you?"

"Xiaoxue, it should be the vase with the words 'I'm telling you a story' engraved on it. It's very beautiful and very much in Xiaoxue's style~"

"Hehe~"

"The herbs were made by Xiaoyou, and the family crest and the flame were made by Kyojuro, right?"

"Correct!"

.........

After returning home, Grandma Huizi carefully placed the things the children had brought on the shelf.

"This is a gift Xiaoyou and the others gave me. Isn't it beautiful?"

Fukutaro leaned in to observe and was amazed. "What a beautiful texture. But the picture engraved on it is a bit ugly."

Keiko poked Fukutaro's shoulder in a nagging manner.

"This is the children's love, it is priceless~"

------

Koichi and Kyo brought the pure white plates made in the same batch to Tajima.

"What a beautiful thing, where did it come from?"

"Kyojuro did it."

The room suddenly fell silent.

"Kyojuro is a genius and belongs to the Uchiha clan. You only need to remember this."

"Yes."

"You have watched the whole process. Have you learned it?"

“We have learned most of it, but for that special water at the end, we don’t know the proportion.”

"Then just ask Kyojuro directly. Don't tear down the kiln. Just bake a few more."

"This thing is pretty good..."
