Chapter 635 Starting Point
Ninja is a versatile profession. As far as Daimaru knows, at the ninja school in Konoha Village, art courses are still very popular, such as painting, flower arrangement, calligraphy, etc., and many students like it; vocal music, sculpture, dance, etc. are relatively niche. .
The former is easy to get started with, and even if the talent is slightly lower, you can still learn it with style; the latter has a higher ability to appreciate talent and art. Except for the children of well-known families, they have the foundation of aristocratic education and are easier to learn than ordinary ninjas. Still not very proficient.
The ninja school in Sunagakure Village does not pay much attention to these courses that do not directly affect combat ability. Even if Daimaru has artistic skills, they have been completely wiped out over the years.
Kurama Yakumo has a strong foundation in painting, and she also served as a painting teacher at the Leaf Village Ninja School for a period of time. Even the qualifications purchased with money can prove that she does have talent in this area.
As for musical instruments, especially the relatively niche category of ocarina, the eldest daughter of the Kurama family, who had been bedridden since childhood, had never learned it.
The two of them thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to use specially prepared materials to make wooden ocarinas, and the parasols were in the style of antique paper umbrellas.
Compared to Daimaru's free will, Kurama Yakumo, who seems to have a free-spirited temperament, has a much more traditional aesthetic.
Fortunately, the ninja world is already in a time window of rapid change, and the various styles are not too abrupt. The dashing and handsome appearance in suits and leather shoes, the elegant noble daughter, the gentle and elegant lady, the passionate girl next door, even if it is There is nothing strange about competing for beauty on the same stage.
It's just that the Gothic-style female character designed by Daimaru and Saya-san for Kashiwagi, with the addition of Yamato Nadeshiko's elements, looks a bit awkward, but not to the point of being nondescript.
Fortunately, Kashiwagi, who is very curious and has broad interests, seems to be quite satisfied. Kurama Yakumo used psychic skills to summon her from the "Cradle Garden", and after merging with the puppet body, she couldn't stop her desire to explore.
One hand happily rotated the flower umbrella on his shoulder while asking curious questions. Even the insects and ants flying out from under the green grass exuding the fragrance of earth could observe it with interest for a long time.
"This is much harder than taking care of Yamabuki!"
Daimaru had a sad face and answered every question patiently.
"It's better for a child to talk a lot than to say nothing at all!"
Kurama Yakumo responded,
"I think it's great! I used to lie in bed and look at the gorgeous spring scenery outside the window, and I couldn't go out to enjoy it. A mere hay fever would make me uncomfortable for a month or two..."
Different encounters give everyone different senses of the outside world.
"I also know that when I was young, I was more talkative than a boring gourd, but this is too annoying!"
The energetic little Baimu was so energetic that he was full of endless desire to explore this world that he only had an impression of in his memory but was exposed to for the first time.
No, now I accidentally disturbed the newly resurrected bee nest. A group of bees were waiting in full swing, trying to attack the little cypress tree with their tail bee stings from time to time.
The little one, who had never seen such a battle, thought those little bugs were happily playing games with her.
"Next, I'll leave it to you!"
Daimaru breathed a sigh of relief.
Daiwan, who has been the "King of Children" since he was a child, has never worried so much about children.
"You are just too worried. Logically speaking, since I have inherited many of your qualities, I should have confidence in Xiaobaimu, right?"
"That's why I'm worried!"
Daimaru snorted angrily,
"Miss Saya is originally a proud person who has no friends. I am not a serious person either. If it weren't for... ugh!"
After hesitating for a while, Daimaru, who didn't know where to start, opened his mouth, and finally stopped.
"Why...do you have such a low opinion of yourself?"
Kurama Yakumo asked with a smile,
"You shouldn't be so unsure of yourself, right?"
"This has nothing to do with confidence. My current achievements are largely due to the external pressure that pushed me to work hard. If I really get to the point where I can let myself go in the future, I probably won't be so constrained..."
"whispering sound!"
Kurama Yakumo couldn't help but sneered,
"The vast majority of people don't perform very well at that time! Masters who are so powerful that they have lost the constraints of society, and their self-control ability depends entirely on their own moral values. Those who can really deny themselves, serve the public, and sacrifice themselves for others are either gods or saints..."
"What you said...makes some sense!"
Daimaru thought for a while and then nodded. There were many emperors who held great power in the previous life who were in danger of losing their jobs. Most of the daimyo of the five major ninja countries were arrogant and extravagant people. The saying that with greater ability comes greater responsibility, in their hearts, this is true. There is no such thing as carpe diem, and it is a true portrayal of genius to care about the flood after death.
"What I'm worried about is Kashiwagi. She is not a human after all. Human values can't be fully applied to her. Moreover, in the long run, I hope that Yamabuki, Kashiwagi and the artificial elves born in the future will all be sand ninjas, Even a partner of human beings, rather than a superior god or saint..."
"Is that why you are so picky about every contractor?"
Kurama Yakumo smiled reservedly,
"It seems that I have a good opinion in your mind. I'm really flattered..."
"The gain in strength growth is very important. After seeing the evil in people's hearts, it is even more valuable to still maintain the kindness of an innocent heart..."
Kurama Yakumo, who made big mistakes in deception and misunderstanding, and finally defeated the demons in his heart, Daimaru felt that he was an amazing guy. It was precisely because of his half-expert mystical skills that he understood more about how important it is to "defeat oneself". Disaster.
"Am I that good?"
Kurama Yakumo asked with a smile,
"Didn't you end up abandoning me like a piece of shit?"
"Ahem..."
Daimaru replied awkwardly,
"It happened a long time ago, so don't talk about it!"
While the two were chatting, a strong wind suddenly blew from the mountains. Xiao Baimu, who was playing happily, gently raised the parasol in his hand, and his light body was blown up, and then flew swayingly. He landed in front of Daimaru.
The stunned Daimaru stretched out his hand to take it, and asked in surprise:
"When did you learn this trick?"
"Is this difficult? If you feel you can do it, just do it..."
Well, the starting point of these artificial elves is much higher than Daimaru imagined.
Talent should not appear out of thin air. Being good at wind escape and air manipulation should come from Daimaru's ability.
"Well done, little Baimu, what a genius..."
"Of course!"
The very immodest little guy suddenly raised his head proudly and the parasol spun even more cheerfully.
