Chapter 186
Uchiha Shinji owns a whole two-story building.
Although he owns the property rights of the first and second floors, he currently only lives on the second floor.
After all, in a two-story building like this, usually only the second floor is used for living, and the first floor is used as a shop. Shinji does not plan to do business, so he simply rents out the first floor.
At this moment, night falls and the night is getting darker.
In the ninja tool shop on the first floor, the raindrops on the glass display window where various ninja tool samples are placed are pulled down by gravity and leave traces.
The empty and lighted shop is quiet. Behind the cashier, a middle-aged man lies on a rattan chair with his eyes closed for a nap, and the radio in his arms is still making a rustling sound.
Although the rustling sound did not increase the popularity of this unpopular shop, it was not noisy at all when mixed with the sound of rain outside the shop. Instead, it added a sense of calmness and tranquility to the rainy night.
In the words of the woman, this sound is called white noise? The man didn't know what white noise was. In his opinion, it was probably a random signal power spectrum of the same unit, a good signal frequency?
Life is always full of sounds and noise interference, such as barking dogs, snoring neighbors, alarms, and shouting, but this white noise does not increase irritability, but contains all sounds of the same frequency.
According to the woman's practice, white noise, a stable and peaceful sound stream, is full of vibration frequencies that can be heard by human ears. It can filter and disperse noise, help reduce noise distraction, relax, and sleep.
The woman said that she had treated many patients with insomnia and would recommend them to try listening to some white noise before going to bed.
The white noise in their ears is different. Some sound like the sound of rain, some sound like the sound of waves hitting rocks, or the rustling sound of wind blowing through leaves, or the sound of mountain streams, waterfalls, and streams.
This kind of sound can play a certain role in sound therapy for people of all ages. It is a "harmonious" therapeutic sound.
I have to admit that what the woman said was right. Maybe it was because white noise was really useful, or maybe it was because he received a long-lost message from the village. He had a rare good sleep during this period of time after suffering from insomnia.
Dinglingling...
When the man was drowsy and half asleep, the welcome bell on the glass door of the shop suddenly rang.
The man opened his eyes instantly, and a coldness flashed through his eyes.
But when he sat up and rubbed his eyes, he had regained his confused look as if he was woken up by someone. The whole person looked like an honest and ordinary person.
"Ha~ Welcome, what do you want to buy?"
The man yawned first, then opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that there was no one in the store.
Only bursts of whistling wind and rain poured in from outside, and the door of the store seemed to have been blown open by the wind.
"..."
Seeing this, the man frowned and stood up, walked to the door of the store and looked out, and the streets on both sides were deserted.
The deserted streets, the closed shops, and the endless rain made him feel lonely for no reason.
However, as soon as this feeling came to his mind, the man immediately shook his head, and the few strands of hair on his forehead that were wet by the rain also shook, and he smiled bitterly and threw this feeling aside.
"Really, a comfortable and peaceful life can easily make people lonely."
The man sighed, shrank his neck and hid his head back in the store. After stretching as if nothing had happened, he hung the closing sign on the glass door.
At this time, he looked up at the window glass, and the action of turning around to pack up his things suddenly stagnated. He turned his head again and cast his eyes on the dim glass.
In the reflection of the glass window, in addition to the rows of ninja tool samples for sale and his slightly stunned face, there was also a striking shadow, a white figure appeared behind him.
When?
The moment he saw that figure, the man's pupils dilated, his hair stood up, and his kunai slipped out of his sleeves.
"Xuan Weng, it's me."
Just as Xuan Weng was about to throw the kunai backwards, a gentle and familiar female voice came, and Xuan Weng, who was tense all over, suddenly stopped moving and turned to look at the woman sitting on the rattan chair.
The rustling sound of the radio was turned down by the woman, and the crowded noise disappeared instantly, and the sound of the light rain outside the window seemed to be louder.
"...Pharmacist."
Xuan Weng called out the woman's "name" softly, and subconsciously glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
No wonder there was no one on the street, it was already eleven thirty in the evening.
It was obvious that he was just taking a short nap, and it was still around six o'clock before he closed his eyes, but he actually slept for so long?
Or, just like the first time they met, what kind of weird magic did this woman in front of him use?
At this time, he actually saw this woman in the store, which really made him feel a little uneasy.
But it was not because of a guilty conscience, but because he felt that this smiling woman was troublesome and scary, just like a tissue wet by rain.
If they came into contact a few more times, it would only tear apart something that was originally intact, and nothing would go back to the way it was before.
As a mechanical engineer, Xuan Weng really didn't like this feeling.
But due to his current identity, Xuan Weng still sighed and said helplessly: "Master Pharmacist, it's so late, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Don't worry, I'm not here to urge you to pay the rent." The pharmacist smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I just want to express my condolences to my only partner and helper in Konoha."
"Asking you to spread rumors about a girl and lead other villagers to be malicious, does this kind of thing make you feel uneasy about your conscience? If it does, considering our relationship, I can help you with some psychological counseling for free."
"That's not necessary. You underestimate the determination of our Yangyan Village ninjas."
Xuan Weng waved his hands wordlessly and said calmly, "Although I don't understand your purpose of doing this, let alone slandering a kid, I won't hesitate even if I detonate the detonating talisman of the entire Konoha school. "
"If that's the case, that would be great." The pharmacist smiled deeply, "I thought you would be too indulged in this false identity and life."
Hearing this, Xuan Weng was silent for a moment, then exhaled, spread his hands and said, "If the village was destroyed by those guys like Takigakure without your help, I might really be assimilated to the peaceful life here."
"But now, let alone the kindness of saving Yang Yan Village from the sea of fire, my unsatisfactory son has been brought back to the Kingdom of Rain by you guys. How can he forget his mission?"
The pharmacist didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just nodded and corrected him with a smile: "Don't make it sound like Mr. Yunchuan is a villain who kidnaps his son to seduce his father. Didn't you receive an autographed letter from your son? "
"It should be clear whether he was voluntary or forced, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Xuan Weng, who was still a little resentful, was immediately silenced.
Why did he say that the bastard in his family was unsatisfactory?
Isn't it because, from the handwritten letter sent by that boy and Yangyan Village leader Buzhou, we know that the boy followed Lord Yunchuan to the Kingdom of Rain on his own?
Buzhou also said in the letter that when Mr. Yunchuan came to Yangyan Village to select people, he had already told the bastard to hide him.
As a result, the boy jumped out on his own, showed his respect and identity for Lord Kumokawa, and followed them carelessly, saying that he was going to the Land of Rain to contribute to the future peace of the ninja world.
Shit, you are contributing to the peace of the ninja world!
When he saw this sentence, Xuan Weng, who was originally grateful that the village had survived, was almost made to vomit blood by his bastard son.
Although Mr. Yunchuan did save their Yangyan Village, they are also willing to repay this kindness. They can reach a cooperation agreement, provide a large number of detonating charms, and can also send some people to the Country of Rain to provide technical assistance.
But this does not mean that the country of mountains must be eaten up and wiped clean!
These are two different things!
Personal feelings and the interests of the village cannot override the interests of the country. As the leader of Yangyan Village, Bu Zhou must put his personal feelings behind and proceed from the perspective of the interests of the village and the country.
Bu Zhou and Xuan Weng knew very well that no matter where they came from, they were not qualified to talk about "equal cooperation" when facing Tsukimi Riunkawa, who saved Yangyan Village, so they just wanted to retain "independence" right.
In addition to the advanced technology in the production and research and development of detonating talismans in Kagero Village, the most valuable thing is undoubtedly Xuanou, the mechanism master who has been placed inside Konoha.
In addition to those ninja tribes and forbidden areas that are inaccessible, he has placed detonating symbols on all important buildings in Konoha, such as ninja schools and hospitals, as well as the Shadow Rock under repair, including the newly built Hokage Building.
Only Xuan Weng can detonate the mechanisms connected to the detonating symbols.
This is Yangyan Village’s only bargaining chip for the future.
Therefore, even if the researcher was given to Tsukimi Sato Kumikawa, he would still have to hide Xuanweng's son.
result……
That bastard has been taken back to the Land of Rain. What else can Xuan Weng, the father, do?
You just have to be obedient!
He is not so selfless and great that he sacrifices his son's life to fight for the interests of the country.
The most important thing is that Mr. Yunchuan has no grudge against them, but is kind to them. Since everyone has been taken away, vassals can be vassals. There is no need to make such an ugly scene.
If it were Takigakure Village, Xuan Weng might really need to consider whether he should sacrifice the bastard in his family and die together with those bastards.
Thinking of this, Xuan Weng felt much more relaxed and his body was no longer so tense. He leaned lazily against the cashier and waited for his "boss" to give orders.
"As long as you understand." The pharmacist could easily see what he was thinking, smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Now that I have figured it out, I won't bother you anymore."
Hearing this, Xuan Weng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Is this woman really here to provide him with "psychological counseling"?
"Oh, right."
The pharmacist who was about to leave seemed to have remembered something. He suddenly stopped and turned around. He ignored Xuan Weng's "I knew you were in trouble" expression on his face and said with a slight smile: "You can stop what I asked you to do before." "
"Now that the fire has been lit, let those ignorant fools do the rest."
—————————
At the same time, late at night in Konoha, the lights on the streets had been extinguished, but the newly built Hokage Building was still lit.
The only sound that could be heard in the entire office was the sound of documents being turned, and the pipe on the desk that was refracted by the desk lamp, with the hissing smoke of an old bellows emitting evenly from beneath it.
"Fur..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat at his desk, holding a pipe in one hand and puffing away smoke, with one hand on the document in front of him, hesitating.
The documents on the desk were the last two documents that needed to be approved tonight, but it was these two documents that made Sarutobi Hiruzen's fingers twist on the red seal for a long time, but he still hesitated and did not make a decision.
The first one was "Application for Leaving the Village by Konoha Jonin Tsunade".
[Brief description of the reason for leaving the village: Emergency medical assistance request for the battlefield of the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, application for temporary departure from the village. ]
[Task handover plan: Before leaving the village, all unfinished tasks and responsibilities have been handed over in detail to the designated Jonin, and the work has been ensured to be seamless and not affect the daily operation of the village. ]
[Personal property handling: Personal property has been properly handled, including but not limited to medical equipment, personal belongings and village property. Ensure that all items are returned to their place to avoid any property being lost or damaged. 】
[Relationship between family and village: I am fully aware of my duties as a Konoha villager and a jonin. I will maintain close contact with the village during my absence and report my whereabouts and progress regularly...]
This application was written in an unusually neat and correct manner. Sarutobi Hiruzen could not find fault with it, either in terms of procedure or reason.
If it were someone else, he would have approved it directly.
However, the applicant for this document is Tsunade, who has now become the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, and who had just beaten him, her teacher, into the hospital not long ago.
The Nine-Tails Jinchūriki is leaving the village and going to the front line for support. Isn't this a joke?
Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen had his own considerations for this application, and it's not that he really couldn't sign it, but he was really a little hesitant about the latter application.
"Application for Comprehensively Stopping the Spread of Rumors and Maintaining a Clear Village Environment".
The so-called "rumors" mentioned in this application...
To be honest, how could the rumors about Uzumaki Kushina in Konoha be hidden from Sarutobi Hiruzen's ears and eyes? He also knew more or less about it, and Tsunade's application was in his hands the day before yesterday.
It's just that he has been hesitating whether to stop the spread of rumors, but he didn't expect that while he was still hesitating, the news about Uzumaki Kushina had already spread completely.
No need to think, with Tsunade's temper, she should be on her way now.
Bang! Bang!
As if to confirm Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts, someone knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.
Hearing the knock on the door, Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose injury had not yet healed completely, subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.
