"Jiraiya, don't stare at that bird all day."
"You even peek at a bird bathing, can't you be more humane?"
"…"
A group of people caught Jiraiya outside the small room and kicked him. Jiraiya repeatedly begged for mercy and finally ran to the deck.
After running away, he said unyieldingly, "I am observing the devil fruit's ability and studying the art of strange creatures. Do you know what art is?"
"To hell with art."
Everyone rolled their eyes, but a bug quietly flew in. At the same time, the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan, the dog of the Inuzuka Clan, and so on were secretly watching.
The Petrel ate the Human Fruit, and after a day of adaptation, it slowly mastered some of its abilities.
It began to transform into a "human".
Not only that, from the appearance of the transformation, it was a "female" birdman, which was why Jiraiya was so interested in peeking.
But what really shocked everyone was the origin of it.
A strange bird inexplicably came to their ship and slowly transformed into a human …
"Jiraiya, don't stare at that bird all day!"
At this time, a girl's voice sounded.
"I'm not looking!"
Jiraiya was very innocent. He ran to the deck and peeked?
"To hell with art."
At this time, another voice sounded.
Everyone looked at each other and then pointed to the room.
It's this bird.
It's learning how to speak!
Of course, many psychic beasts can speak, but in the next second, the Hyuga Ninja saw the bird flying around the room and then used its "strange" wings to open the door.
Crack …
The door was opened.
There was no doubt that the Petrel was caught again.
Although it has high intelligence, it obviously doesn't have ninjutsu ability. A mere binding technique was enough to deal with it.
Everyone locked the bird up again and added a cage with a sealing technique.
A group of people gathered together to discuss.
There is no doubt that the devil fruit does exist in the wild, so the Bat Fruit may also exist in the world.
Jiraiya still looked indifferent, but he had more thoughts in his mind.
He had read the manga and knew very well what kind of power the Bat Fruit had — immortality!
Even if the others did not know the ability, they might not be able to resist the temptation of the Devil Fruit. If he wanted to get it, he must be very careful and not let any outsiders or creatures get close to the fruit.
Akabane didn't know what happened at sea for the time being.
However, the Shadow Clone had made full preparations for the aftermath of consuming the Human Fruit.
The illusion was not as simple as controlling it to eat the fruit. It also changed part of its memory, making it think that it had eaten the Devil Fruit on an island.
Even if it has high-end wisdom, it will still believe in the memories of the beast period, and the memories of the beast period are chaotic, and even the Yamanaka clan can't find out the truth.
Akabane was not worried about this at all. He was more concerned about another matter.
Sand Crypsis Village.
What would those people do?
Chiyo and Ebizo have a lot of wisdom, and Akabane will not underestimate them. But for the Ninja Village, the truth is often not important, and there are many times when interests are more important than the truth.
No one knows whether Sand Crypsis will declare war or not. In addition, once the war is declared, it's not up to Wood Leaf to decide whether they can stop it.
As a member of Wood Leaf, Akabane was very worried.
But he only worried for a few seconds …
It's useless to think about this kind of thing. The decision is still in the hands of Sand Crypsis Village. If they really want to fight, Wood Leaf will certainly not be afraid of it.
As for Madara, it's not a big deal to exchange the Rinnegan. If you summon the Gedo Mazo, I will summon it back.
Chakra, there is a village here, is he afraid that he can't win against Madara?
There is no need to worry.
Therefore, there is no need to think too much.
Akabane took the woodcarving and was ready to talk to Gu Jie about the Figurine.
The Knife skill of this woodcarving can be said to be perfect, but there is a problem with the coloring, which affects the overall beauty. But this has nothing to do with Gu Jie, it's just Uchiha's people who blindly colored it.
He went to talk to Gu Jie about the cooperation to make the Figurine.
Gu Jie used to be a subordinate of Tobirama, and he was guided by Tobirama and learned a lot of secret techniques.
Therefore, although he is only a Genin, his strength and status are not low. Even Akabane can't threaten him forcibly, he can only negotiate with him.
In case the other side doesn't agree, he can only give up.
Gu Jie lives in the civilian area of the village. His home is very easy to find. It's not far from Dai's residence, but Dai is definitely not at home. Akabane didn't go to his place and went directly to Gu Jie's place.
When he arrived at his residence, Akabane saw a man practicing Swordsmanship.
Gu Jie's dress is very ordinary, and he carries a big pot on his back all year round. Usually, he is the one who cooks and prepares food in the team.
But as soon as Akabane appeared, he immediately noticed.
"Hello, Gu Jie senpai, my name is Kurama Akabane."
"This … I can't afford to be called senpai, I'm just a Genin."
Gu Jie looked gentle and flustered.
Akabane smiled and said: "I didn't know your strength at first, but thanks to this woodcarving, I know that there is such a master in our village, so senpai, you don't have to hide."
He said and took out the woodcarving that he had been holding in his hand.
When Gu Jie saw it, he immediately recognized that it was the woodcarving he carved, so he couldn't help but take it and stroked its wood texture.
But he showed a trace of regret.
The coloring is a bit off …
"Senpai, I came to you this time because of the woodcarving."
Akabane bowed and said his purpose.
He didn't say a figurine, but a woodcarving instead. The method of cooperation is also simple: split the profits 50-50, and if you're not satisfied, you can adjust it.
Manga is cheap, and basically everyone can afford it when they become a ninja, but a figurine is not like this.
So, splitting the profits 50-50 for a figurine is definitely quite a high price.
Gu Jie didn't answer, but stared at the woodcarving for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh: "Manga … is really good, even woodcarvings can be sold for a high price. From your tone, the price should be quite high, but unfortunately I don't need money."
"Senpai, everyone needs money, such as you. You don't need money, but with it, you can set up a charity fund, sponsor many orphans who lost their parents in war, help families who lost their homes, and so on."
Akabane had already thought of an excuse.
Fame and fortune are not important to Gu Jie, so he used other methods to persuade Gu Jie.
Charity fund?
Gu Jie was stunned. His talent isn't the best, but it's not bad, and he worked very hard, which is why he has today's strength.
But as for understanding things …
He thought for a long time, and finally stopped thinking about what a charity fund is, and pondered the second half of Akabane's sentence.
Helping orphans and homeless families is a good thing.
That's a good idea.
"If that's the case, you can set up a charity fund with all my income. I don't need money anyway."
Huh?
Akabane was stunned.
So generous …
It doesn't seem good for me to take all the remaining profits.
After some thought, he said: "If that's the case, let's set up a charity fund with 70% of the total profits."
The remaining 30% will be distributed to the various levels, and Akabane can't promise other people's benefits.
Gu Jie nodded in agreement, and then Akabane put down a pile of manga.
These manga were given to him for free, so he can read more to understand the spirit and personality of the characters, and sculpt more perfect figurines.
He originally didn't care about the manga.
But after flipping through a few, Gu Jie couldn't take his eyes off it.
Last place …
What a familiar term.
Among the people that the second generation paid attention to, he was one of the last.
When it comes to manga, the more you start reading, the more you can't stop.
Originally, Gu Jie only planned to read one volume, and then continue to practice swordsmanship or go out to take missions. But after reading one volume, he was more curious about the plot, so he continued reading.
Until the end of the Wave Country, he was even more fascinated.
The manga wasn't just about the story, but also the spirit of the characters.
Naruto's strength and sunshine deeply moved him. Those shouts seemed to ring from the bottom of his heart, touching the knot in his heart over and over again.
After reading the Chunin exam …
Unconsciously, tears fell.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
He sobbed. The sin in his heart could never be redeemed.
Especially with Gu Jie's personality, once the team made a mistake, he would take the blame for many crimes that didn't belong to him.
What touched him was the Third Generation's death.
Gu Jie thought of his dead teammates, Nidaime Hokage, and the many ninjas who died in the war.
At this moment, a voice sounded not far away.
"Hey, Gu Jie, how long are you going to carry this!?"
Gu Jie looked up and saw the Third Generation standing not far away.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Need him?
But what can I do? What if I'm too eager to command, causing everyone to …
Without waiting for him to think more, the Third Generation continued to scold him: "Everyone makes mistakes, I also make mistakes, but because of one mistake, you're a Genin for a lifetime, are you worthy of Sensei's training? Does he only want you to do these tasks? "
"No, I …"
Gu Jie wanted to refute, but when he looked down and saw the Third Generation's peaceful and satisfied expression, he was speechless for a while.
Yes.
In the manga, the Third Generation's mistake was to let go of Orochi Maru.
"If you really feel guilty, sorry for your former teammates, then make up for your mistakes and use your rich experience to save more people in wars and missions, instead of being a Genin for a lifetime."
The Third Generation said loudly.
He wanted to say these words for a long time, but he was always afraid that Gu Jie would hold a grudge. Now that Gu Jie was touched by the manga's plot, it was the right time to persuade Gu Jie.
"Now the Wood Leaf is in a critical period, and the Wood Leaf needs you."
"Critical period?"
Gu Jie froze for a moment and looked up at the Third Generation.
Later, the Third Generation talked about the Sand Crypsis Village and Madara. Gu Jie's expression changed dramatically, and his thoughts were in a struggle.
Always be a Genin, that was his vow.
But …
At the same time, he felt that the Wood Leaf really needed him now.
No, what the Wood Leaf needed was not a Genin Gu Jie, but a Genin with the ability to command.
He opened his mouth and finally said: "I, I'll think about it, let me think about it for a while …"
"Good."
The Third Generation felt that he was not as determined as before.
This is a good thing.
Originally, he just used the Telescope Technique to see what Akabane was doing. He didn't expect to find that Akabane was looking at Gu Jie, so he came to see him.
If he can solve the knot in Gu Jie's heart, Akabane will make a great contribution, even if the kid himself probably doesn't know what he has done.
The Third Generation left.
Gu Jie sat on the ground, thinking about what he had just said.
"Think about it, think about it …"
