Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

Kirigakure

At noon, at Wuxin’s residence.

In the living room, Wu Xin placed the freshly prepared dishes on the dining table and served a bowl of rice, his appetite aroused.

I don’t know if it’s because the food was too bad on the battlefield in the Kingdom of Wind, or for some other reason, but in the three months since I returned to the Hidden Mist Village, Wuxin’s appetite has increased a lot, and he enjoys everything he eats.

On the dining table, there were braised pork, roasted pig's trotters, fish fillets, and a few stir-fried side dishes. Wuxin ate with gusto and finished most of the pot of rice. If he hadn't thought about leaving some for his beloved ninja dog, I'm afraid all of it would have gone into Wuxin's stomach.

After finishing his meal, Wuxin scooped up the rice from the pot, mixed it with the remaining braised pork, pig's trotters, fish and soup, and walked out the door.

In the hottest days of August, Wangcai lay in the shade of the porch at the door, feeling a little exhausted. But when he saw Wuxin coming out with his own food, Wangcai immediately stood up, wagging his tail, ran to Wuxin's side, and rubbed Wuxin's legs.

Wuxin pointed to the doghouse in the yard and said:

"Bring your bowl and eat on the porch."

Wangcai barked and jumped into the yard. Holding his bowl in his mouth, he happily returned to the eaves and placed the bowl at Wuxin's feet.

"You eat whatever I eat, and I'll get you some watermelon later."

Wuxin grumbled as he scooped the rice into the dog bowl.

Wangcai didn’t care about all this. When he saw lunch, he immediately started to wolf it down.

boom!boom!

"Wu Xin, are you home?"

Along with the knock on the door, a familiar voice was heard outside the courtyard gate.

"Yes, Uncle Taro, wait a minute!"

Wuxin recalled the owner of the voice, Taro Takeuchi. After responding, he put the bowl back in the kitchen and trotted out to open the door for his boss, Taro Takeuchi.

"Hey, who are you?"

When the door opened, Taro Takeuchi was stunned when he saw Wuxin for the first time, and asked a somewhat strange question.

This question confused Wu Xin. Wu Xin pointed at himself and asked in confusion:

"I'm?"

Takeuchi Taro looked Wuxin up and down, looking carefully up and down, and said with some uncertainty:

"You... Wuxin?"

Wuxin felt a little ashamed. He hadn't been to Takeuchi Taro's shop for a while. He only met Takeuchi Taro when he just returned to the Hidden Mist Village from the Kingdom of Wind to report his safety and collect the reward for the sale of the treasure.

Then he was busy practicing ninjutsu and forgot about his work in the weapons shop. He hadn't been there for three months.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you? We haven't seen each other for a few months, what's the big deal? Please come in!"

Wuxin felt a little embarrassed, and at the end he turned aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Takeuchi Taro stepped into the yard, his eyes fixed on Wuxin, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he said in a deep voice:

"You, have grown so tall all of a sudden?"

"So tall...?"

Wuxin was slightly stunned, remembering that his clothing sizes had become much smaller recently, and he had to wear his deceased father's clothes.

I was busy practicing and improving my ninjutsu, and since I didn't have much other activities, I didn't pay much attention to these details.

I have grown taller, but I didn't notice it. It was only after Takeuchi Taro reminded me of this that I realized it.

Looking at Takeuchi Taro, whom he had to look up to in the past, but now he only needs to look at him straight in the face, Wuxin was silent for a while and smiled:

"Well, you have to grow up when you reach that age. Let's talk first."

After that, he led Taro Takeuchi to the living room and poured him a glass of water.

The weather was hot. After drinking some water, Takeuchi Taro wiped off his sweat and said:

"It's also my fault for being careless. I forgot that you were still a little kid. You grew up in the blink of an eye."

Taro Takeuchi often mentioned growing up, which aroused Wuxin's curiosity and made him want to measure his own height.

Wuxin touched his chin and said softly:

“I’m a ninja, busy with missions and practicing ninjutsu, so I rarely pay attention to these things.

Uncle Taro, what brings you here today?"

Takeuchi Taro chuckled and said:

"Hey, what else can I do? Business in the store has been so good recently.

The customers who ordered the treasures kept asking for their orders, and I thought you would come to the store when you were done with your work.

As a result, I haven't seen you for three months, so I came here specially."

“I was so busy practicing ninjutsu that I forgot.

How many orders? How about starting work today? "

Wu Xinhao did not refuse. After responding, he picked up the kettle and added some water to Takeuchi Taro's cup.

Three months ago, when Wuxin visited Takeuchi Taro, he received more than 60 million taels, plus the 5 million taels for the mission.

Wuxin actually has no worries about food and clothing, and has no motivation to make money.

However, he had received care from Taro Takeuchi earlier, and the two sides had a cooperative relationship, so he still had to fulfill his responsibilities.

Even though I'm not very active, I won't just walk away and dump people.

"Today? That's perfect. I came here on purpose, and the store has employees taking care of it.

You don't know, in the past two years, weapons and ninja tools have been in short supply.

I heard that there was a great war in the Ninja World. Wuxin, your treasure has been praised by all the Kirigakure ninjas who bought it. We have received over 30 orders. "

Seeing that Wuxin remained the same, Takeuchi Taro breathed a sigh of relief and talked about the recent events in the weapon shop while responding to Wuxin's questions.

Wu Xin smiled slightly upon hearing this and said:

"The ninja world is indeed a bit chaotic, with wars everywhere, so it's normal that ninja tools are in short supply.

However, it's too hot at noon, how about starting work a little later, around five o'clock, when it's not so hot? "

"Okay, okay, I should. It was a bit hot at noon."

I don’t know if it’s because Wuxin has grown a lot taller, or because they haven’t been in close contact recently, but Takeuchi Taro is obviously much more reserved.

Wu Xin smiled and said softly:

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll meet you at Takeuchi Weapon Shop around five o'clock. Then we can forge a treasure together."

"Hahaha, okay, okay, that's it."

After confirming the time, Taro Takeuchi exchanged a few words with Wuxin, then said goodbye with a smile and left.

After Wuxin saw Takeuchi Taro off, he stood in front of the gate, touching his chin with a flickering look in his eyes.

"Grown taller? Come to think of it, the chakra has indeed increased dramatically.

I have been immersed in studying the art of sensing rain for the past few months and have not paid attention to these things.

It just so happens that my wardrobe really needs some new clothes, and I can also measure my height at the same time."

Just do it when you want to do it. Without closing the gate, you walk through the streets under the sun and come to a clothing store.

Wu Xin saw that the clothing store looked well decorated. Wu Xin, who was wealthy, did not hesitate and strode into the store. He shouted to the lady boss at the counter:

"Madam, please measure my size and see if there is any clothes that fit me."

The proprietress was a middle-aged woman. When she saw the customers, she stood up and greeted them with a smile. When she heard Wuxin's request, she took a measuring tape from the counter, walked up to Wuxin and measured him.

"Height 175cm, relax, I'll measure your shoulder circumference."

Wu Xin was slightly stunned when he heard the boss lady's words. He didn't expect that in the past two or three months, he had grown from less than 1.6 meters to 1.75 meters.
