Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 412: You haven’t forgotten the previous plot, right?

The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.

When the morning light appeared on the horizon and the moist mist gradually thinned, the ninjas who had been patrolling at night disappeared silently in the streets and the village began to come alive again.

With a creaking sound, the door was opened, and the fresh air squeezed out the night's turbidity. The adults, dressed in their clothes or work clothes, began to busy themselves with the day's livelihood. The older children also began to help, while the younger ones could still play as they pleased.

The commercial street was bustling with people, and rows of businesses opened their doors, eagerly welcoming customers.

When Senkawa Hikaru yawned and opened the door of the shop, the Ichiraku Ramen shop next door had already opened early. The aroma of miso soup, tonkotsu ramen and various barbecued pork filled the air, making passers-by stop unconsciously.

In the packed shop, Uncle Ichiraku skillfully makes bowls of fragrant noodles behind the curtain, while his figure like an iris flower shuttles through the aisles, serving food to customers with a smile that is high-standard enough to be commercialized.

Noticing the "neighbor" who opened the door, Ayame took a moment out of her busy schedule to pause, waved to Qianchuan Guang, and gave him a gentle and doting smile.

"Good morning, Hikaru."

"Good morning, Sister Acorus."

Facing his brother's girlfriend, Acorus, who had been certified by his parents as his future sister-in-law, Qianchuan Guang nodded obediently in response.

"Why isn't Aunt Nai Xue open for business today?"

"Mother and father went to Hot Spring Country for vacation yesterday afternoon. It may take some time for them to come back. I will be taking care of the house for the time being."

“Oh, that was really hard work.”

Acorus gave her a concerned and worried smile, "Do you need me to come over and help you? After all, you are still young."

"No, I can do that."

Qianchuan Guang shook his head seriously, "If I can't take care of it, I can hire one or two ninjas, and Kakashi should also come to help..."

The high-standard smile on Acorus's face cracked for a moment, as if he was caught up in some kind of emotion, and repeated it with a fake smile.

"Kakashi... well, he is Luke's friend after all..."

Qianchuan Guang: "..."

For some reason I felt like I was stepping on a tiger's tail.

"Acorus, the guests are waiting for you to serve the meal!"

Noticing the pause in the aisle and the person Ayame was communicating with, Uncle Ichiraku's voice, which was obviously lowered, sounded from inside the store. Ayame could only force a smile at Senkawa Hikaru and returned to work.

"Too diligent. I feel like if I continue to open a shop next to Ichiraku Ramen, I'll be squeezed out sooner or later."

Qianchuan Guang muttered quietly, and the customers who had been waiting outside the store impatiently could not help but start complaining.

"Hey, are you done with the small talk? Where are the Senbon and Kunai I ordered?"

"Are you going to do business at the 'Senkawa Ninja Tool Shop'? If not, then close it down as soon as possible!"

"That's right! Show some respect to me, I'm a Chunin!"

Upon hearing this, Qianchuan Guang put his hands on his hips, held his head high, and glared back at them without showing any weakness.

"Are you so awesome as a Chunin? Lower your status!"

"The captain of the ANBU, Kakashi Hatake, is my brother's best friend. The blue beast Might Guy is my brother's brother. Lord Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, is also my brother's close friend. Who do you think you are?"

"Egypt, do you want to buy it or not? If you don't want to buy it, get out of the way. If you continue to interfere with our business, I will call the guards to arrest you. You all know that Uchiha will not hold back when they strike!"

Such a tough response made the guests look at each other in shock, and they were speechless for a moment.

No wonder most of the ninja tool shops in Konoha Village were liquidated two years ago, and the Third Hokage established the "Ninja Tool Department" to recruit them. The remaining few were trembling with fear all day long, but the "Senkawa Blacksmith Shop" never had any troubles, and instead upgraded from a "blacksmith shop" to a formal "ninja tool shop". It turns out that there is this relationship...

I'm so angry. You can't run a store successfully without a background these days, right?
"Are you going to come in or not? If not, get out."

Qianchuan Guang returned to the chair at the counter and sat down. He raised his head and watched with his dark eyes as the crowds of customers walked into the store and took the corresponding ninja tools according to the number tags.

His job is to see that customers pay and pick up the goods. As for sales work, he is not worried at all that his products cannot be sold.

The blacksmith shop at this moment has become much more standardized than it was two years ago. Displayed on the counter are Senbon and kunai with cold and sharp openings, indicating that these are no longer the crude and cheap "toys" of the past, but real weapons, and are of top-notch craftsmanship, yet the price is the same as that of regular ninja tools.

These were not created by his father Takumu Senkawa with great effort, but were supplies sent back regularly every month by his brother Riku Senkawa in the Iron Country.

In his own words, by sending these things back, he wants to let his family know that he is thriving, working hard and striving for self-improvement outside.

Hmm... Qianchuan Guang feels that his brother is not growing healthily, but growing wildly.

The quality, craftsmanship, and strength of the ninja tools sent back every month would be improved to the same extent, just like adding data with a watch, so accurate that Senkawa Takumu marveled again and again that his eldest son was simply a master craftsman.

Over the past two years, the ninja tools sold in my family's store have gradually evolved from cheap "assembled tools" to high-quality tools, even triggering a purchasing craze and attracting the attention and exploration of quite a few people.

If their family connections weren't strong enough and their background wasn't clean enough, something might have gone wrong.

A shadow stood in front of Qianchuan Guang, blocking out the tipsy morning light.

She was a girl with two buns on her head, about ten years old, with a large white area on her face and slightly shallow features, and she was wearing a ink-and-wash cheongsam.

One of the most famous characters in the Ninja School - Tenten.

Senkawa Hikaru remembered that Naruto mentioned this to him when he was playing with him. This girl used ninja tools as bean sprinklers during duels and was one of the famous rich ladies in the school.

Of course, even if Naruto didn't tell him he still remembered the girl who had mocked the shoddy weapons their family sold.

As time goes by, traditional ninja tool shops gradually declined, while theirs is thriving. Now if you want to use better quality ninja tools every day, you have to come to them to purchase them.

"What's the matter?"

Qianchuan Guang rolled his eyes and asked casually.

"Don't think I'm happy to come here, it's just that this year's graduation ceremony is coming up, and I will probably graduate this year too."

He pouted every day, as if he didn't care at all, and hummed in a mosquito-like voice.

"That is...if you insist on going to the ceremony...I have no objection..."

Ever since Jiraiya found another Sannin, Lady Tsunade-Senju, two years ago to take over the position of the Fifth Hokage, Konoha's reforms have become more rapid and intense.

With the implementation of various new regulations, flashy, empty and superficial rules and regulations will be eliminated as much as possible. The "Will of Fire" course has been reduced to less than one-third of its original length, and has been replaced by various first aid knowledge, simple treatment methods and survival skills.

It is said that the former Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious about this matter and protested severely, but was rejected by the other party with "Then I leave?"

The graduation time of Ninja School is no longer fixed at six years. Instead, anyone who passes the exam at the graduation ceremony can become a real ninja. Therefore, many children of large families graduate one to two years earlier and become Genin. I remember that Naruto seemed to have said something to him a while ago, "Arrogant Sasuke decided to graduate this year. I must not lose to him and let Sakura look down on me."

If Naruto were to participate...

"Will go."

Qianchuan Guang answered thoughtfully.

He doesn't have the talent to be a ninja and can only be an ordinary person, but Naruto's performance in school seems to be okay, so he might as well just cheer for his friend.

Having received a satisfactory answer, Tiantian left with a brisk pace.

Wearing a face mask and a forehead protector covering one eye, Hatake Kakashi appeared silently next to Senkawa Hikaru, his voice sounding somewhat teasing.

"Xiao Guang, you are not old enough to fall in love yet."

Qianchuan Guang, who only thought that girls were troublesome, curled his lips and answered calmly.

"Yes, Mr. Kakashi is old enough to fall in love, but there is no one of the opposite sex around him. He can only squat on the tree with a pornographic book in his hand all day long, looking dark and twisted..."

Kakashi: "..."

Who is dark and twisted?
boom!
"Sigh~"

Kakashi retracted his bent index finger, put the new work "The Story of Doorman Sarutobi" which said "If you carry a knife on a rainy night, you should bring an umbrella" in his arms, and shook his head slightly.

I always feel like this kid has grown a lot since Luke left...

As expected, good children need the guidance of good people to grow up well. Without people like Lu Ke who are upright, gentle, kind and hardworking, it seems that the atmosphere of the whole village has deteriorated a lot.

Well... it's human nature to write some colored texts occasionally. It's a good thing for the country and the people, and it's a contribution to the population growth of the ninja world. It's not a bad thing.

Kakashi leaned against the door, his arms folded across his chest, staring at the guests coming and going to see if they were looking for trouble or trying to take advantage of the situation. His sharp eyes were as sharp as a knife.

After a moment, his brows suddenly moved and he heard a cold voice sounding in his ears.

"Hokage-sama has an important mission to discuss with you. Please proceed to the Hokage building."

"What level?"

"S-rank, the Hokage-sama said this is the mission you are best suited for."

Kakashi was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and the cold voice in his ear disappeared.

When the morning crowd dispersed and Qianchuan Guangneng was able to relax a little, the figure at the side door suddenly dispersed and turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared into the air.

Tsk, shadow clone is really useful.

A flash of envy crossed Qianchuan Guang's mind.

Ayame came over from next door. She skillfully opened the food box in her hand, revealing a small hill of Ichiraku ramen filled with barbecued pork, fish balls, and soft-boiled eggs.

The crystal noodles and the toppings exuded an enticing aroma, which made Qianchuan Guang's eyes light up and he felt particularly happy.

He ate noodles in big mouthfuls and chatted with Acorus during the pauses.

"Sister Acorus, when do you think my brother will come back? It's been two years~"

"Don't worry too much. A capable person like him can live well anywhere. He will come back naturally when it's time."

Acorus looked relaxed and answered in a good attitude.

"Don't you... miss him?"

Qianchuan Guang blinked and looked at Acorus, who was becoming more and more beautiful and with whiter and smoother skin, with a bit of surprise in his tone.

"how to say……"

Acorus's pretty face turned red, and her lips moved a few times, seeming a little embarrassed.

"Of course I do, but I often feel like he has never left my side... Occasionally I have some very real and strange dreams..."

Qianchuan Guang: (_)
Can't understand.

"Okay, kid, stop asking so many questions!"

Seeing Qianchuan Guang's puzzled look, Changpu covered her face and coughed lightly, urging him to finish the noodles, and then took away the lunch box without stopping and left quickly.

…………

Hokage Building.

The fifth Hokage Tsunade stood heroically in front of the window, her light yellow hair tied into a ponytail, and her tea green gown with black edges, which was highlighted by her slender waist and a pair of invisible weapons that could kill people.

"Hokage-sama, what mission do you need me to complete?"

Kakashi appeared silently in the Hokage's office, with his head slightly lowered and his tone calm.

Tsunade turned around, smiled, thought for a few seconds, and then spoke slowly.

"Kakashi, I remember you were good friends with Senkawa Riku who went to the Land of Iron to learn forging techniques?"

Kakashi kept his poker face expressionless and nodded slowly.

"Yes."

"So what do you think of him?"

Kakashi cleared his throat and his eyes softened. "He is a native of Konoha, an excellent blacksmith, a considerate friend, a down-to-earth craftsman who believes in hard work and wealth, a caring family member who respects his younger brother and parents, and a person with almost no shortcomings."

He paused and added.

"Well... he lacks ninja talent and has no systematic training. He is just an ordinary person who is powerless."

Tsunade nodded with satisfaction, "I can see that you understand him well and agree with him."

Kakashi pursed his lips, straightened his body, and did not refute.

nobody,
Than him,

Understand Lu Ke better!
