Sheren did not stay at home and enjoy a rare vacation.
There was no way, because he still had three students who were waiting for him to be fed. Even during the holidays, these students came to his door as soon as they learned about his return.
A remote training ground in Konoha.
Looking at the three little guys in front of me with twinkling eyes, I knew that this period of time had really squeezed them out.
But there is no way. They, a group of "fresh" ninjas who have just graduated, are all treated as students of the ninja school, and they are not allowed to leave Konoha without permission.
Even if he completed an A-level mission with Toneri and "showed off his power" in front of his former classmates, just like them, he could only stay in Konoha.
The rest of the people were okay, their teacher was not like Toneri, who left Konoha immediately and rushed to the battlefield, so there was a teacher who taught them carefully some time ago, so they didn't feel there was a big problem.
But as Iwagakure and Kumogakure launched attacks on Konoha at the same time, everything began to become uncontrollable, and their teachers also joined the team and stepped onto the battlefield.
As a ninja who had just graduated, he became a ninja who stayed behind, euphemistically known as "Guarding Konoha".
In fact, they did not participate in any substantive tasks at all, they just thought of ways to train themselves every day.
Yesterday, Sarutobi Asuma learned from his father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, that their teacher, the one who became famous in one battle on the battlefield, killed thousands of people with one move, and fought against the One-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Sunagakure Village, even if the opponent
The Konoha Aangmao, who released the complete tailed beast and still escaped unscathed, has returned to Konoha and has a rare holiday.
But he was so happy that he found Yuhi Kurenai and Metkai as soon as possible the next morning and went straight to Toneri's cattery.
You know, after Scheren discovered that he had a certain amount of space talent yesterday, he stayed up all night and was so excited.
In the morning, after the excitement had passed, the fatigue left over from the battlefield suddenly swept over his body. He really didn't want to see these three little guys.
But they wouldn't let him get his wish.
In previous contacts and mission executions, Sarutobi Asuma, who originally had doubts about Toneri's strength and ability, has completely recognized this teacher.
But he never expected that Shiren's strength and ability were completely beyond his imagination.
Not only him, but even Kurenai Yuhi, who respected Toneri very much from the beginning, and Metkai, who admired Toneri, didn't expect him to be so powerful, so powerful that they felt like they were dreaming.
This does not include the fact that they did not know what Toneri was doing in Yuyin Village.
After all, what happened in the Hidden Rain Village is not a glorious thing for Konoha, and it is a mixed achievement for Toneri. As long as the top management of Konoha knows that he has completed this matter and records his achievements, then
That's enough, there is no need to let the whole village know.
But even so, the three little guys' admiration for Shiren is really like a torrential river, continuous...
Even the arrogant Sarutobi Asuma was completely impressed by Toneri at this time, let alone Metkai, who had shining eyes.
I rubbed my temples gently and felt a little pain in my head.
He shouldn't have promised Hiruzen Sarutobi to lead a jounin team in the first place, which was to bring three big oil bottles.
Still can't get rid of it.
However, we cannot let down a few lovely students.
"Ahem, you guys..."
As soon as Shiren opened his mouth, someone was more anxious than him.
"Toneri-sensei, what is the name of the super-S-level forbidden lightning escape technique you used on the battlefield? Do we have a chance to learn it?" This is Sarutobi Asuma.
"Teacher Shiren, did you open the Injury Gate when you stepped on the air? Or was it the fifth Dumen Gate? Was it the sixth Jingmen Gate? It couldn't be the seventh Jingmen Gate, right?" Matkai followed closely.
asked.
"Teacher Toneri, you...do I still have the chance to learn things other than illusions?"
Sheren: "...."
Helpless, sometimes it was so straightforward that he wanted to take back the words "cute student".
Looking at the three students with expectant faces.
Toneri felt that he shouldn't have come back. How could it be better to just stay on the battlefield, be lazy, and do experiments? Why should he come back and face this hell on earth?
"First, do you know how to use thunder escape? I just want to learn it." Toneri pointed at Asuma.
Then, he looked at Kai and said, "Second, no!"
Finally, he looked at Hong and said, "Third, there is no chance."
"Finally, I need to test whether you have been lazy during this period.
Okay! You brats, what are you doing here?! Do you want me to take action first?!"
After hearing Toneri's words, the three of them looked at each other and smiled on their faces.
"Be careful, Toneri-sensei!"
...
ten minutes later.
Toneri felt like he was alive again, his energy returned, and he stretched for a long time feeling refreshed.
“Comfortable!! So comfortable!!”
He looked at Asuma lying on the ground with a bruised nose and face, Kai hanging motionless on the tree, and Yuhi Kurenai, whose face was a little pale.
He smiled and patted Yuhi Kurenai's head, who had not yet recovered.
"Not bad. My illusion ability has improved, but it's still a bit lacking. If someone catches the details, it's easy to counterattack or even counterattack.
But considering your age and level of strength, you are quite outstanding."
Since Toneri accepted Yuhi Kurenai, the only student who was good at genjutsu, he began to try to get in touch with and learn genjutsu. Coupled with his research on Sharingan, genjutsu is also a part that must be exposed and learned, so during this period
His understanding of illusions has been greatly improved.
With his level of strength, even if he doesn't use illusions very much, Hong still has a much higher vision, and it is not difficult to break her illusions.
However, Hong's illusion skills have improved, and this is enough.
There is also Metkai, he may be the least improved among the three, but he is indeed normal.
As we all know, it is much more difficult to improve physical skills than ninjutsu and genjutsu, but as long as he persists, he can continue to improve until he has the ability to fully open the Eight Gates Dunjia. At that time, his strength will be at
Over time, a qualitative change occurs.
It was Asuma, on the other hand, who made Toneri feel impressed.
Originally, his identity as the second generation shadow made him inflated. He said he did not want to be overshadowed by his parents, but in actual actions, he vividly demonstrated what it means to be the second generation shadow. He is a very contradictory person.
But after not seeing each other for such a period of time, his mentality has adjusted a lot, and his strength has also improved a lot.
It has to be said that Asuma, who inherited his genes from the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, has quite excellent genes. As long as he is willing to work hard, the improvement will be obvious.
Today, Sheren also used some tricks to beat these little guys into this state.
There was one thing that made him not very happy, that is, when he was beating Asuma, he found a lighter in his pocket.
There is no doubt what this means.
At such a young age, Asma doesn't learn anything well. She actually imitates her father's smoking, and she is only a teenager.
Sheren himself has never tried it in his life...
Bang bang bang——
He patted his palms gently.
"It's not bad. You're not lazy. Soon, you will become my pride." Toneri said with a smile on his face.
With my energy back again, it was time to educate these students.
"Everyone, get up. If you continue to lie down like this, you will have no chance of going to the battlefield again."
Hearing Toneri's words, the three little guys jumped up and immediately came to their senses. Asuma ran up to Toneri in a hurry. Kai, who was hanging on the tree in the distance, also rushed back as fast as he could.
.
Kurenai also recovered from the confusion of her illusion being broken by Toneri.
...
After educating a few little ones.
sunset.
When the cat owner returned to the cattery again, he could smell the strong aroma of vegetables from a distance.
The cuisine in the ninja world is relatively monotonous and the taste is bland, and many people like to eat sashimi.
However, even though Toneri has been in the ninja world for so long, he is still not used to their food. If given the chance, he would not mind cooking the food himself.
After knowing the taste of Toneri, Lingxiang also learned some cooking techniques and methods from him, so the only one with this kind of fragrance on this street is his family.
Thinking of being able to eat hot meals after returning home, Toneri admitted that he began to like this feeling.
As soon as I approached the cattery, I heard two silver bell-like laughter coming from inside.
Hearing these two voices, Shiren knew who was coming to the door.
Kushina!
Uzumaki Kushina, long time no see.
Although Reika has been using the hair dye method taught by Toneri to cover up her red hair, she is a member of the Uzumaki clan after all, and Kushina feels a natural closeness to her from the bottom of her heart.
And Kushina has also become Reika's only friend in Konoha besides Toneri.
Even if it's just because of Kushina's hair, Reika thinks she is trustworthy.
Gently opening the door, she saw Reika and Kushina sitting at the table chatting. The table was filled with various dishes, waiting for Toneri to come back.
"Toner, you are finally back! We have been waiting for you for a long time. If sister Lingxiang hadn't said that she must wait for you, we would have started eating long ago."
Kushina looked at ease with her boldness, without any sense of being a guest and seeing her host.
Lingxiang obediently stood up and took out three sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Toneri looked at Kushina, "How are you? Are you busy lately?"
As soon as she mentioned this, Kushina's face became a little embarrassed and ugly.
She watched the people she knew around her go to the battlefield one by one, but she could only stay in Konoha like those newly graduated ninjas and was not allowed to leave even half a step.
Even if Kushina's strength reaches the level of jounin or even higher, she is still a force that cannot be ignored for Konoha.
Even when her Chuunin and even Genin friends went to the battlefield to fight for Konoha, she could only stay in Konoha.
Of course Toneri knew the reason. Just because of her identity, her identity as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, no matter how powerful she was, Konoha would not let her go to the battlefield until the last moment.
And when she goes to the battlefield, it means that Konoha is not far away from defeat.
The Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is Konoha's last trump card and nuclear weapon.
With Kushina's efforts over the years, she was barely able to communicate with Kyuubi to a certain extent, but she was still far from being able to use the power of Kyuubi, and more efforts were needed.
Therefore, once she is allowed to go to the battlefield to use the power of the Nine-Tails, Konoha's top brass cannot guarantee whether she can be sealed again.
Since she couldn't go to the battlefield, she certainly wasn't busy, so when Toneri asked her if she was busy, Kushina's face became a little ugly.
She also heard about Toneri's great achievements on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain. When walking on the street, she could occasionally hear others discussing topics about Toneri.
As a friend, she was sincerely proud of Toneri's achievements. She was also worried about the dangers Toneri would face on the battlefield. At the same time, she was also worried about his ability to show his strength on the battlefield and for Konoha.
And fighting feels envious.
Kushina's ideal has never changed, and that is to become the first Hokage of Konoha.
But if she doesn't go to the battlefield, doesn't make military exploits, and doesn't let more people know and recognize her, how can she become Hokage?
Shiren's words undoubtedly touched the tightest chord in her heart.
However, as a good friend who has known him for so many years, she also knew that Toneri was joking. She just felt that her fists were itchy and she couldn't hold back the Vajra Blockade.
Jingle bell, jingle bell——
Hearing the crisp sound of the chain, Toneri couldn't help but change his expression, showed a slightly flattering smile, and gave Kushina a big chicken drumstick, "Kushina, don't be idle, eat quickly! Eat! Reixiang
My craftsmanship is really getting better and better.”
He is still the familiar Toneri, who is very talkative, but has a very high desire to survive at critical moments.
For a moment, Kushina had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only vent her anger on the big chicken legs that Toneri had given her. She took a few vicious bites and stared at him.
He muttered, "Sister Lingxiang is here to give you some face!"
Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Lingxiang covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing.
In fact, it's not just Toner who enjoys this leisurely life, but Lingxiang also enjoys it. No matter how many meals he cooks every time, no matter whether it tastes good or not, there is always someone who will solve it all and make an appointment.
Two true friends, chatting, noisy, and very at ease and comfortable.
A crisis that he accidentally caused was resolved in time. Shiren breathed a long sigh of relief, took a few mouthfuls of rice in the bowl, and calmed down his shock.
With a thought in his mind, he asked, "By the way, where is Minato?"
Kushina stopped moving her hands, and a blush appeared on her face unconsciously. Seeing his appearance, Toneri narrowed his eyes slightly.
Something fishy!
Suddenly, a kind of gossipy heart of the new youth of the 21st century came to mind.
He turned to look at Lingxiang next to him, wanting to see if he knew something about the situation. After all, between good best friends, they should talk about everything.
When Lingxiang saw Toneri's questioning look, she suddenly felt entangled in her heart. On one side was her best friend, and on the other side was her boss, benefactor, guide, and...
Okay, it's pretty obvious which one is lighter and which is heavier.
After thinking about it, she made fists with her two hands hidden under the table, raised her thumbs up, then brought her thumbs to face each other and bent them slightly.
In an instant, Shiren understood.
An ambiguous smile suddenly appeared on his face. Looking at Kushina who didn't know what to say for a while, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
She was a little embarrassed to be looked at by Toneri, but as a female man, Kushina had nothing to be afraid of.
Bang!!
Slap the table.
He raised his head and neck, neither looking at Toneri nor at Reika, but shouted: "Water... Minato... Of course Minato is also on the battlefield!"
The one you say is justified and the other one is loud and powerful.
Sheren can guarantee that this is definitely not what she originally wanted to say.
But it doesn't matter, he has already guessed the general situation. It can only be said that the self-correction ability of the ninja world is still very strong, and it has not been affected by his own existence.
He guessed that it was the relationship that Kushina and Minato developed while studying with Jiraiya.
After all, after they met, it was a pure friendship between the three of them. Maybe Minato was a little interested in Kushina, while Toneri just fell in love with her sealing technique, and Kushina probably had no feelings for either of them.
, if there is, it may be that her identity as a Jinchuriki gives her a sense of identity.
"Oh? Minato went to the battlefield, where did he go?" Toneri raised his eyebrows.
Kushina barely glanced at the joking smile on his face and knew that she had been tricked again, but this time she walked in on her own.
Reluctantly calming down his restless heart, he took a few bites of the chicken legs again and said angrily, "I went to the Moon Kingdom battlefield to fight against Kumogakure Village with Mr. Jiraiya!
Those two bastards clearly agreed to take me with them at the beginning, but they both ran away when they woke up. Let me see them next time..."
Kakaka——
He clenched his fists, showing off his familiar side.
"Okay, okay." Shiren waved his hand.
Kushina's situation is special. As a Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen is willing to let her leave Konoha, Danzo and the other two Hokage advisors who make bad ideas all day long will not agree.
Even with Kushina's physique and sealing technique, she can seal the Kyuubi without any pressure. Even if the Kyuubi goes berserk, she can suppress it for a long time.
But it's still not allowed.
Kushina's previous Jinchuriki Uzumaki Mito never left Konoha after becoming the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki. Naturally, in the eyes of those old guys, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki should not leave Konoha.
As for Toneri, the two-tailed Jinchuuriki, because he can completely control the power of the two-tails, he is quite special, and the Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot and are unwilling to limit it.
"Let's get down to business. Since you're here, it saves me the trouble of looking for you.
Let me talk to the guy in your body. You chat with Lingxiang first. I will end it soon. If it goes well, maybe it can let you be relatively free. If everything goes well...
Let me talk first and then talk."
Hearing this, Kushina's eyes lit up, and then became a little solemn.
"Are you serious? He's not an easy person to talk to."
Toneri smiled and nodded, "It's okay. Even if it's hard to talk to, it can't hurt me."
After saying that, he reached out his hand and gently placed it on Kushina's shoulder.
