After you have the inspiration, several basic conditions for completing the task must be confirmed as soon as possible!
So it was too late to go home, Qingyu ran back in a hurry, carrying this month's relief money that Mikawa Jonin left for him before leaving.
He first found a shop that sold dyes, communicated with the boss for a long time to confirm, and finally settled the first deal with satisfaction. Then he went to buy strong glue, fabric and other sundries, and then hung everything in a mess.
He returned home.
After he got home, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his stomach started growling.
Only then did he remember that after working so hard all day, he hadn't even eaten!
So I had to put away my things first, go out to eat some ready-made food, and then stocked up on a lot of food.
After finishing all this, he took out the miscellaneous things he had bought before and began to toss with them...
.........
The next day, after Qingyu had breakfast and stretched his muscles, he went straight to the place where the old man worked at the foot of the mountain.
Not far from the Hokage Rock, there is a residence specially designed for craftsmen to store tools and take a temporary rest.
Sure enough, the old man Yamashita was sitting inside drinking tea and relaxing.
Small things like finishing inspections have long been unnecessary for him, the head craftsman, to do personally. There are other craftsmen who carefully and responsibly check them one by one.
Of course, if there is any problem that needs to be reworked, then he will naturally do his part!
"Grandpa Yamashita, I'm here to see you."
"Oh, it's Xiao Qingyu, come and sit down and have a cup of tea. This is a good gift from Hokage-sama, so you're in luck!"
After the old man Yamashita saw Qingyu really coming to him, he was stunned for a moment, and then greeted him happily.
Older people like him like to be more lively, and they especially like children. It seems that seeing these green seedlings is like seeing the past self.
Qingyu didn't show any signs of being outside. There was no need to be polite. When getting along with the elderly, he needed to be more comfortable. And the more casual he was, the happier the elderly would be.
In short, just one sentence: Eat when you are told, drink when you are told, patiently follow the other person's words, and you will always be successful!
As expected, the more Yamashita saw Qingyu, the more he liked him. Not only did he bring out a lot of delicious food to entertain him, but he also started chatting and bragging about his past experiences.
Qingyu was not in a hurry to express his intention as soon as he came. He just patiently talked to the old man and spent most of his time being a quiet listener...or a quiet foodie.
Soon, an hour passed.
Qingyu also felt that it was almost done, so he took advantage of the old man Yamashita saying he was tired and thirsty to drink tea, put on a look of admiration and expressed his interest in sculpture and wanted to ask for some tips.
Yamashita, who was completely excited, didn't realize he was there. Instead, his face glowed red and he looked at him with admiration. Then he took the initiative to bring a few stones and a full set of tools that he usually used for hand training, and prepared to give him a good hand.
He goes to class.
After all, it is difficult to meet a child who is interested in his craft, and he also likes Qingyu very much, so naturally he doesn't mind being a teacher for a while.
Even if Qingyu shows talent in sculpture, he would like to take him as his disciple and train him properly.
In this way, one is teaching seriously and the other is studying seriously.
Soon, Qingyu mastered certain skills and became a beginner. Under the guidance of the old man Yamashita, Qingyu carved a small figure, although it was completely unrecognizable and a bit miserable...
"It's okay. Diligence can make up for weakness. Just practice more and it will be fine. As a beginner, you have done very well."
Seemingly seeing that Qingyu was a little depressed, Mr. Yamashita could not help but comfort him softly.
At the same time, the old man sighed in his heart. It was rare to find a good boy who was so interested in sculpture, but his talent was only average.
Although it was a pity, the old man gave up his intention of accepting him as his disciple.
"Grandpa Yamashita, can you lend me some tools? I want to try it a few more times after I get home." Qingyu, who quickly came out of his depression, said with a stubborn look.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Yamashita nodded with great relief and agreed readily.
"No problem. I have a lot of tools here. I will sort out a set for you in a moment. Take it back with you when you leave. Remember to practice well."
"Thank you, Grandpa Yamashita, for that..."
"If you have any other questions, please tell me."
So under the encouraging gaze of Mr. Yamashita, Qingyu looked yearning and said a little embarrassedly: "Can I go to Hokage Rock these days to see how everyone is doing?"
Mr. Yamashita was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Qingyu to make such a request.
Although it's not troublesome, if something unexpected happens...
"The carving work has been completed now. You can't see anything even if you go up now, and in our industry we are most afraid of aiming too high. It won't be too late to come and observe such large-scale carvings after you have laid the foundation." Mr. Yamashita advised earnestly.
road.
"I'm not too ambitious... I just want to experience it and broaden my horizons. One day I will carve my own image on it with my own hands. Even Lord Hokage admits that I am the future fifth generation!"
Holding back the feeling of vomiting, Qingyu said excitedly, his face turning red.
Of course, it could also be because of shame...
In order to complete the tasks issued by the dog system, is it easy for him!
However, this bloody declaration still had the desired effect. At least the way Mr. Yamashita looked at him changed.
Mr. Yamashita pondered seriously for a while, and then slowly said: "It's not impossible to promise you...but I have to agree to three rules, abide by the rules, and be obedient. You can do whatever you are told, and you must not touch things that cannot be touched. If you can do it,
If you get there, I can let you go up."
Done!
Qingyu held back his excitement and nodded fiercely.
So far, everything is going smoothly!
Not only did he learn the basic knowledge of carving and get the carving tools, but he also successfully left the seeds of "I want to carve myself on Hokage Rock". After the mission is successful, Mr. Yamashita's testimony is very important and can help him relieve a lot of stress.
A lot of pressure.
In the end, he successfully persuaded Mr. Yamashita to allow him to climb the Hokage Rock in an open and honest manner.
With this layer of identity as cover, the success rate of the mission has been greatly increased!
Combined with the preparations he had made before...
Qingyu couldn't help but his eyes flashed, he seemed to have seen victory waving to him.
Of course, it's not too early to be happy, let alone be impatient. Let's perform the show honestly for two days first, so that everyone can get used to his existence!
