Chapter 1158: Trend
"...Look up at the bright moon, and look down at my hometown." Uchiha Shisui returned home and told Uchiha Itachi, who had been close to him since childhood, about what he had learned today. He had a good memory and had memorized it long ago, and he also understood all of Duran's explanations.
Uchiha Itachi also showed a yearning expression, because writing about homesickness, but incorporating the bright moon and white frost into it, is an unprecedented description method on this continent, and new things are always attractive to geniuses.
"I thought there was nothing interesting in the ninja school, but I didn't expect there would be such an interesting class." Uchiha Shisui also liked these beautiful sentences; "Especially when Teacher Duran read it, it was so beautiful, indescribably beautiful, just like a song, no, more beautiful than a song."
The two children chatted while throwing kunai, doing two things at the same time.
"There are many such beautiful poems in the textbook. I will show them to you after training."
Uchiha Itachi and other children also had a hard life. They had to practice hand speed, kunai, and refine chakra at a fixed time every day. Even if Uchiha Shisui went home after school, he couldn't waste time. There was no such thing as playing, and he didn't have any hobbies. They are the real ninjas who work hard with only one goal.
Fortunately, Duran's poems will also be included in the school's graduation exam, so Uchiha Shisui can read and write openly, otherwise it would probably be thrown away as idle books.
Cosmic Wave Itachi nodded, he also wanted to understand poetry. Rich sons, and rich sons who were forced by their father to practice and lost their childhood, always have to have some pursuits, and poetry has become their spiritual sustenance and the flowers in their depression.
The next day, I collected homework and nodded at the children's homework, at least they were not lazy. Then there was a random check, and the children were called to stand up and recite yesterday's poem. Those who couldn't recite it were punished to stand.
Quietly, the children's textbooks have become sought after by some literary ninjas with ideals and aspirations. They can see another paradise away from war from poems and songs, which only exists between the lines of textbooks and between the lips and teeth when reading.
The ninjas of Konoha suddenly became cultured, and they would stop and recite a few poems to express their nostalgic feelings when they had free time.
Even Duran felt that he had underestimated the charm of culture. He never expected that adults would accept this setting so quickly and love it.
In fact, the war had just ended, and everyone needed something to numb the trauma of losing their comrades. Poetry undoubtedly became a good way, not to mention the classics that Duran plagiarized.
Duran thought that it was time to use his own name to publish some heavyweight things. Don’t they like to fight? Publishing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the earliest history of the ninja world since the beginning of the Six Paths Sage. The Three Kingdoms is prehistoric, that is, there were three countries that almost unified the continent before the appearance of ninjas.
Anyway, it’s just bragging, it’s good to look at.
Duran was also very unkind to stipulate that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a designated extracurricular reading for students in the ninja school, and must be bought.
Duran lit a fire, a fire that would not be extinguished by any ninjutsu. Even if the infinite moon reading is awesome, it is impossible to delete these cultural masterpieces from people’s minds. These things will be as enduring as ninjutsu. Duran's name as a plagiarist will also spread throughout the continent along with his works, and everyone in the five kingdoms will know about it.
"Teacher, can you explain to me this sentence 'The great way of life in the vast world is the way of abandonment'." Uchiha Shisui asked, holding a collection of modern poems written by Duran.
"You bought the teacher's book."
Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth, but was embarrassed to say that it was a gift when he bought "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The ancient poetry collection plagiarized by Duran sold very well, but the modern poems were all short sentences that were not very popular. Seeing that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" sold well, the store sold these modern poetry collections.
"Yes." A white lie: "Why did the teacher say 'The great road of life in the vast world is the way of giving up'? Is this the teacher's way of ninja?"
This is Tagore's way of ninja, Duran is sincere, but he still explained to this studious student: "In order to gain something, you must lose something, that's what this sentence means. For example, if you are very studious, then you gain knowledge but lose time to play, this is the way of giving up. People always make choices that seem to be beneficial to themselves, it's better to say that they give up a more disadvantageous choice, isn't it?"
Nodding, "Teacher, you are really too knowledgeable." "Teacher, can I take this sentence as my way of ninja?"
Duran smiled: "Of course."
"Thank you, teacher." Uchiha Shisui has read a lot of Duran's books. The things in the books are all written by Duran. The more he reads, the more he admires him. He is completely a fan of Duran.
After get off work, Duran was called over by the third generation. He wondered why the Analects had not started teaching.
"The Analects is too profound and not very suitable for children of that age. I plan to recommend it to the senior ninjas in charge and ask them to teach the students when they have time." Duran said.
The Sandaime nodded, and then suddenly asked Duran: "Since "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a story before the history of ninjas, how did you know it? And you know it in such detail. The rise and war of the Three Kingdoms kept me awake for several days. Although they did not have ninjutsu and ninjas, there was one thing that remained unchanged from ancient times to the present, which was the wisdom of using troops. I was greatly impressed by the generals' use of troops. If you have prehistoric materials, can you let me see it?"
"Well, actually most of this story is fabricated. The tactics in it are also what I learned from a broken military book. All the contents are in it. If you don't believe me, I will go back and send you the complete military book."
"I believe it, but I am also very happy to be able to read ancient military books."
Then just copy one-third of "The Art of War" to let the third generation have fun. Who told them that they have never seen it before: "Okay, send it in a few days." "By the way, the Analects is profound and profound. The senior ninjas may not be able to teach it. I want to open a Analects study class and let the senior ninjas who lead the class learn it first."
The third generation raised both hands in agreement: "Yes, yes, after I notify them, you will be their teacher." "I have another unwelcome request."
"Please speak."
"Can more people come to participate in the Analects study class?" It is not enough for only the senior ninjas who lead the class to learn. The third generation wants to knock the Analects into everyone's mind. If they can all have the wisdom of dealing with people in the Analects, then Konoha Village will be stable and long-lasting.
"It's all right." Duran didn't mind. He even said the more the better, because he wanted to use words to transform the world and create an earth-shaking cultural output.
