"Teacher Lei Luo, don't worry, we will definitely practice hard and won't let you down."
In response to Lei Luo's suggestion, Yahiko decisively made the above reply, his words and expressions were extremely serious.
Lei Luo was touched by being called teacher for the first time, but on the surface he still pretended to be nonchalant and replied calmly: "That's best."
After saying that, Lei Luo turned around and walked towards Orochimaru and others who had been waiting for a long time not far away, waving his hand without looking back:
"Okay, just send it here, let's go."
Watching Lei Luo and others walking away, Yahiko didn't speak for a while. He didn't know what to say.
Just like in the past month, they have silently undergone transformation and become ninjas, truly mastering the power that can change their own destiny.
Although this power is still very weak now, the various knowledge filled in his mind still makes Yahiko full of confidence in his future:
As long as they continue to practice according to the steps, it could be as short as three to five years or as long as seven or eight years. He, Xiao Nan, and their newly acquainted companion Dingshu will definitely become strong and become a decisive force in the Kingdom of Rain.
Even, in the future, use this power to realize your dreams.
Noticing the twinkling light in Yahiko's eyes, which seemed to be full of longing for the future, Konan sighed softly, and her heart became really complicated.
Regarding Lei Luo, the enemy a year ago, the enemy a month ago, and now the teacher, Xiao Nan didn't know what attitude she should take to face him.
The transformation on the day of returning to zero, and dozens of struggles between life and death, have unknowingly changed Xiaonan. She originally thought that she would always hate Lei Luo, or be afraid of him forever.
But this month, Lei Luo taught them wholeheartedly and tried his best to help them become stronger. The serious and responsible attitude shown in this also moved Xiaonan.
Is it fear, hatred, anger, gratitude, dependence, trust? Xiaonan doesn't know what kind of emotion she should have towards Lei Luo.
"What a difficult man to figure out..."
Just like her evaluation of Lei Luo at this moment, the confusion revealed in her muttering to herself, this is the first time Xiaonan has seen someone with such weird and contradictory behavior.
"Teacher Lei Luo should have been doing it for our own good at that time. Anyway, if it weren't for him, I would still be picking up garbage now."
Compared to Xiaonan, the thoughts in Dingsuke's mind were much simpler. When he looked at the direction where Lei Luo left, the emotion vaguely revealed on his face seemed to be only respect.
Living in this troubled world, ordinary people have no capital to resist in front of ninjas, and can only passively accept various unfavorable results, just like his original companions.
Although Lei Luo's actions either directly or indirectly killed his companions, Dingsuke actually didn't care about this at all.
The two of them were just a group of wild dogs who got together because of the same problem. If it weren't for his bigger fists, then he might have experienced the same thing as Xiaonan: having his food taken away by others.
The boss status created by force could not make Teisuke feel any sense of superiority, nor could it make him have any feelings for the four dead war orphans.
Under this circumstance, Lei Luo's test and the subsequent series of teachings made Dingsuke sincerely admire him.
That man, so simply put the power to change their destiny into their hands, three worthless war orphans.
This is enough to make Dingsuke feel grateful to Lei Luo, but there is nothing else.
"What do we do now?"
At this moment, Yahiko's voice sounded, and he noticed the eyes from beside him, and Sadasuke realized that Yahiko was asking him.
"What else can I do? Go back and continue practicing."
Since he is the oldest and currently the strongest, Taisuke naturally becomes the boss of the trio. He usually makes the decisions for most matters.
Although, Yahiko always likes to contradict him:
"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about... what should we do in the future? Adjust our current living conditions... or something like that?"
Hearing this, not only was Sadsuke stunned, but even Xiaonan beside him was also stunned for a while.
But then, the two of them realized that now that they and others had become ninjas, it was indeed unreasonable to continue to make a living by stealing or picking up garbage as before.
"This..." After thinking for a moment, a flash of hesitation flashed in Dingsuke's eyes: "As for ninjas, should we take on the mission?"
Xiaonan frowned and asked: "We are not ninjas from Hidden Rain Village, so why should we accept the mission? Are we wandering ninjas?"
Xiaonan's question is very critical. Since Lei Luo only taught them skills before leaving and did not give them a too specific action plan, Dingsuke didn't know what to do now.
You can't become a ninja and still pick up garbage, right?
Sadasuke didn't know what to answer. Yahiko thought for a while and said:
"How about we accept the mission as a wandering ninja first and see what we can do in the town."
As soon as the words fell, the voices of Sadasuke and Xiaonan sounded one after another:
"All right."
"Can."
Since Taisuke and Konan didn't seem to have any better ideas, Yahiko's decision temporarily became their main direction of action.
There were three young wandering ninjas in the town, but this incident did not attract the attention of the rain ninjas stationed here.
After all, they were just three children. Although they learned two ninjutsu from nowhere, they were only at the level of genin at best. Yahiko and the other three were not taken seriously by the rain ninjas.
They, just like the wandering ninjas who pass by here from time to time, have never had any conflicts with the owners of this place, the ninjas of Amegakure Village.
Most of the tasks they choose to accept are related to life, such as repairing the roof with the help of the ability to fly over the walls, using water escape ninjutsu to irrigate the fertile fields, and driving away some wild beasts that harm the local area...
Most of these tasks are D-level, which are problems that small town residents always encounter in their daily lives. The rain ninjas are too lazy to take on such tasks, so they all take advantage of Yahiko and the other three.
With the rewards from the mission, the three children can be considered to have serious jobs, and they no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
In the back of the Kingdom of Rain, which was far away from the front line, the three of Yahiko settled down, quietly cultivating and growing up, and spent the next few years peacefully.
They were waiting for the appearance of the red-haired boy that Lei Luo asked them to pay attention to before he left, and they were also waiting for the moment when Lei Luo came to the Kingdom of Rain again and met them.
The seeds have been planted, and perhaps by the time they sprout or even grow into towering trees, that's when the future of the Rain Country will really begin to change.
