Chapter 71 Three Years (Part 2)

Popular recommendations:

When Giyuu walked into the pedestrian street, Uchiha Mikoto had just gotten the list of new subordinates from the Hokage Building. Unexpectedly, she looked up and saw Giyuu's back.

She originally wanted to say hello and walk home with her little son, but then Mikoto remembered that this highly entertaining street filled with hot springs and casinos was not the place where Giyuu usually buys groceries.

[What is Yiyong here for? 】

The curiosity that suddenly arose in her heart drove her to follow behind without saying a word.

Yiyong was so focused on the whole journey that he didn't even notice anyone behind him. Soon, he walked all the way to the corner and entered a bookstore.

"Are you buying a villain book for Zuosuke?"

Mikoto raised her eyebrows and made a related guess.

It was already evening and there were no customers in the store.

Yiyong suppressed the expectation in his heart and walked to the counter with a serious expression. He stared at the shop owner who was settling accounts and asked in a low voice: "Have you found the book I asked you to find?"

This spy-joint-like attitude startled the boss. But when he looked up and saw that it was Yiyong, he didn't seem too surprised.

"Why are you so quiet...it makes it look like what I sold you is something shameful."

The boss muttered something angrily and took out a paper bag from under the counter.

At this time, Uchiha Mikoto happened to arrive outside the bookstore.

She pretended to take out a real estate magazine from the shelf outside and read it, but her ears were tightly focused on the movements in the room.

"This series of books was out of print a few years ago because they were boycotted by the ninja collective."

The boss's mysterious tone made Mikoto raise a brow.

She leaned her back against the wall outside the bookstore to hear better.

Yiyong took the paper bag and arranged several books in a row quite solemnly.

The titles of the books are -

"Reading people accurately like a ninja? Summary"

"Reading People Accurately Like a Ninja i: Body Language Insights into the Secrets of People's Hearts? For Men"

"Reading People Accurately Like a Ninja II: Body Language Insights into the Secrets of People's Hearts? Women's Edition"

"Read people accurately like a ninja III: 1,000 pictures teach you to identify subtle emotions? Practical combat"

"Seeing People Accurately Like a Ninja IV: Why there are differences between men and women in emotional expression"

Yiyong opened the cover and was surprised to find that the author of this set of books and the book his mother gave him were actually the same person!

The boss looked at Yiyong, whose eyes were about to shine, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Despite his words about cherishing them, in fact these books cannot be sold in the ninja village.

This author wrote the book entirely based on his own opinions, but he chose to use the banner of the Ninja Village of the Five Great Nations. In addition, the language style was humorous and interesting, so it was very popular among civilians who knew nothing about it.

On the contrary, no one bought the large interrogation works that the ninjas had worked so hard to compile, so this set of books soon encountered severe boycotts.

It wasn't until his latest work, for which he paid a high price for the third generation Tsuchikage Onoki to write the preface, that he was allowed to enter the Ninja Village for sale.

But to be honest, the latest book three years ago, "Iwa Ninja ANBU Teaches You Mind Reading", is actually his highest level book.

As for the books in front of me, they are purely for bluffing.

"How much do these five books cost?"

Giyong raised his head and asked.

"Oh, it took me a lot of effort to get these out-of-print books."

The boss knew that it was time to raise the price, so he opened the album of "Practical Combat" and scanned the close-ups of the models one by one with his fingers.

"Especially this book. It's full of clear pictures, and all the details are clear at a glance. If you look at these close-ups, you can even see the slightest wrinkle on the skin, and the changes in the skin when the blood spurts out. The color changes and the blood vessels on the neck can be said to be very detailed..."

Outside the bookstore, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly covered her mouth to stop her subconscious exclamation,

His eyes were full of disbelief.

[Could it be that Yiyong bought the kind of book that he just bought? 】

Money, alcohol, and sex are the three taboos of ninjas. If they go too far, it should be normal for ninjas to boycott them.

Especially if it is related to books, there is only the third ban.

Mikoto's brows frowned severely.

[But how old is Yiyong this year! It shouldn’t be...]

And Yiyong inside was staring at an image called "Rage" and nodded.

[It turns out that every time Butterfly Ninja opens his mouth to talk to me, he is always angry for the first few minutes. 】

The boss seemed to be more devoted when he saw the hero, and said while the iron was hot: "There is also this book, because it exposed many secrets that women themselves did not know, so it was boycotted by many female ninjas, and the author himself was assassinated many times. , so gradually no bookstore dared to sell it. It was very difficult to get, and many male readers searched all over the country and couldn't find a copy.

"But looking at you kid, I won't ask you if you want more of this set of books. What do you think of a thousand taels per book?"

The boss's additional remarks made Mikoto even more convinced of her suspicions.

Her face was as calm as pig iron, but she did not stop him on the spot. She planned to go back and find some time to secretly take the book and burn it while Yiyong was not at home.

After all, it would be embarrassing to confront someone about something like this.

To be honest, Uchiha Mikoto thought that with her righteous character, she would never be interested in the opposite sex in her life, and would most likely end up alone.

But now it seems that he is still interested, but the way he is interested seems unhealthy.

How could a child as honest as Giyuu get in touch with these things?

Suddenly, Mikoto remembered that more than two years ago, Giyuu stopped Kakashi on the street and wanted him to use his Sharingan to cast illusions on him (in fact, Giyuu wanted to further confirm Kakashi's child power level through personal experience).

Combined with Kakashi's style of daring to read erotic novels in public...

[Could it be that boy? ]

As soon as such doubts arose in her mind, she heard Giyuu inside say: "I want all these books. Also, you said last time to help me find Jiraiya's books in the warehouse, did you find it?"

"Oh, if you didn't say it, I would have forgotten it."

The boss slapped his forehead and took out another two or three hundred pages of book from the counter.

"This is the first work published by one of the legendary three ninjas, Jiraiya-sama! Although it is a bit obscure, it is indeed very suitable for children of your age!"

Uchiha Mikoto finally couldn't help it!

It's okay that Yiyong is ignorant!

It's understandable that you, as a boss, sold him something inappropriate for money!

But she couldn't stand the fact that you turned black into white and said that unhealthy books were "suitable for children"!

"Yiyong!"

Uchiha Mikoto shouted sternly, and walked into the bookstore with one hand on her waist.

"Mom?" Yiyong immediately identified the owner of the voice, and subconsciously blocked the books on the counter, fearing that the treasure he had finally found would be confiscated again.

But when the bookstore owner heard it, he was not embarrassed, but walked out of the counter enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Oh, this lady is your mother. Then, will you pay for the books?"

"Pay?"

Uchiha Mikoto's forehead was bulging with anger, and she said word by word: "Okay, then come with me to the guard to pay the bill!"

"Huh?"

Although the guard has a better reputation recently, it is a place where only criminals go, and the boss was immediately unhappy.

"What do you mean? Although it's a bit expensive, it's because the things are really precious. If you don't want to buy it because it's expensive, I won't sell it."

"Just because the things are precious, can you sell such books to children?!"

Uchiha Mikoto was so angry at the boss's self-righteousness that she laughed. Contrary to her usual gentle and virtuous appearance at home, she loudly rebuked: "The village regulations have repeatedly stated that adult books are not allowed to be sold to minors under the age of 18! Not only did you blatantly sell it to him, but you also recommended Jiraiya's book to him? You say! If the guards don't arrest people like you, who should they arrest!"

"Ah?!" The boss was stunned.

Yiyong, who had been staring at his mother's anger, finally reacted at this time, "Mom, you must have misunderstood."

As he said, he took a book called "The Legend of Strong Perseverance" off the counter and showed his mother the cover.

Just below the title, there were three big words [Jiraiya].

This was the name that Yiyong saw in the "RV" when he visited the Rain Country last time, so he asked the boss.

However, this was the only book of Jiraiya's works that could be sold to minors, but because the number of books published that year was too small and they could not be sold, all these backlogs were buried deep in the warehouse, and the bookstore owner only found them recently.

"..."

Uchiha Mikoto took the book suspiciously, turned two pages, and found that it was full of positive energy. Her face became redder and redder, while the boss's momentum rose steadily.

"I say, who do you think I am! I have opened a bookstore here for more than ten years, how could I make such a mistake! It's really unreasonable!"

Mikoto, who is already in her thirties, blushed like a fireball. She looked past Yiyong and swept her eyes over the titles of several other books, and she immediately understood!

[Oops! This is a big misunderstanding! 】

"Sorry."

She glanced at the price on the back cover of "The Legend of Strong Perseverance Ninja", took out a five-hundred-tael bill and put it on the counter, then put the bewildered Giyuu under her arm and fled away, leaving her voice and the bill in the same place.

"Only this one! No other!"

"Hey, hey, hey--"

The boss shouted hurriedly, but how could he catch up with a ninja who even wanted to disappear on the spot? He could only watch him go away helplessly.

But Uchiha Mikoto had just walked a short distance out of the bookstore when she had to stop.

Hinata Hiashi was standing in the middle of the street with his daughter, staring at them intently.

Hinata Hinata was holding a paper bag tightly in her hand, which smelled of roasted sweet potatoes. It was obvious that she was caught by her father on the way home from school when she bought this "indecent food".

However, judging from her blushing face, she looked at Yiyong in disbelief --

She heard every word of Uchiha Mikoto's loud scolding in the bookstore just now, so she was surprised.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Mikoto really didn't have the courage to explain anything to them here.

The two parents looked at each other, and finally moved their eyes away tacitly, pretending not to see each other, and continued on their way.

After walking a distance, Hinata Hiashi looked at his daughter who lowered her head like a quail, but never threw away the sweet potato.

When he thought of the troublesome child in the Fugaku family, he suddenly felt that Hinata had become more pleasing to his eyes, so he said in a gentle tone: "Take the path. But you can't go home with this thing."

"Eh?"

Hinata raised her head and looked at her father, not understanding what he meant.

"Eat before you go home."

Hinata Hiashi could only say clearly, "Move quickly."

"Okay." Hinata looked at the sweet potatoes, her face flushed with happiness. Nothing made her happier than eating.

No, there are still some.

Taking advantage of the fact that her father seemed to be in a good mood, Hinata quickly asked: "Father, can I take Hanabi to my classmate's house for tutoring during the holidays?"

It was rare that his daughter didn't make a request submissively, and Hinata Hizu was in a better mood.

"A maximum of three hours a day, and then come back and practice Soft Boxing!"

"Thank you father!"

"Eat quickly, it's quick to walk on the path -"

"Aww."

Hinata raised the corners of her mouth with her fingers, "It's done."

"..."

On the way home, Mikoto put Giyu down upset.

In other words, Hinata Hizu is a strict talker, otherwise she would have to hide out for another three months.

"Courageous."

Mikoto squatted on the bridge of the Konoha River with her back to the setting sun, "Tell mom, what are you going to buy that set of books for?"

The thing she regretted most in her life was buying that book for Yiyong.

During the New Year two years ago, when she and Giyuu went shopping, they met the counselor elder Mito Monobu who was taking care of his grandson.

While Mikoto was chatting with the other party, Giyuu said that Mito Kado's smile was too fake, the wrinkles at the end of his eyes were not natural enough, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth were stiff. uukanshu www.uukanshu.com

The second time, the elders of the clan came to visit the house. Before the other party asked Fugaku to do something, he praised Fugaku as the best clan leader in Uchiha in recent years. Of course Fugaku didn't take it seriously, but there was no need to refute it. However, Yiyong went in with a teapot to entertain the guests and said "You lied" on the spot, making the situation very embarrassing.

Before buying the book, Mikoto never imagined that Giyuu's biggest problem was not that he couldn't identify other people's emotions - it was that even if he could identify them, he didn't know how to respond correctly.

As a result, the "Source of Chaos" was confiscated and Yiyong was ordered not to expose other people's lies face to face.

But Mikoto didn't expect that after more than two years, Giyuu still couldn't forget that book.

Facing his mother's question, Yiyong thought for a while and said slowly: "Because I want to communicate well with others."

"Huh?" Mikoto was confused.

"But don't you have many friends in school?"

This was another situation that left her baffled.

"That's different."

Yiyong shook his head and explained seriously: "It is the kind of communication that can go on forever."

Mikoto blinked, and a happy smile suddenly broke out on her face: "Then Giyong tell mom, is the person you want to keep talking to a girl?"

"Yes." Yiyong, who couldn't lie, nodded.

"Oh hahaha——"

Mikoto quickly covered her mouth to stifle the involuntary laughter.

"Let's go!"

She patted the back of Yiyong's head with her hand, "Go home and tell dad. I can't wait to see his expression."

Yiyong looked confused, but he could only follow him home.
