Chapter 601 End of Course
The Kingdom of Rain, Six Paths City.
In the early morning, Xie got up on time. After brushing his teeth and washing his face in the bathroom, he opened the door and prepared to go to the Ninja Sect's cafeteria for breakfast.
As soon as he opened the door, Xie saw Nagato standing under a big tree ten meters from his door.
Nagato nodded to Xia, and then the two of them headed to the Ninja sect cafeteria.
"I said, you don't live here, why do you have to come here every day? I will complete the task as usual without your supervision. After all, I also want to regain my freedom as soon as possible." On the way, Xie said with a look of dissatisfaction.
Since that day when he skipped work without breakfast, Nagato would wait for him at the door to have dinner with him every morning.
Before Scorpio had a biological clock, Nagato would knock on the door and call him when he went to bed late.
This made Xie a little unhappy. Ever since he was a child, only his parents had taken care of him like this, and his grandmother had never taken care of him like this.
Seeing that Nagato was a bit addicted to supervision, Xia was a little impatient and didn't care that Nagato had the right to control his freedom.
"It's not the supervisor." Nagato shook his head.
He didn't come here to be a supervisor, he just wanted Xie to develop the habit of eating on time and not let Xie get too lonely by himself.
They were both children whose parents died very early, and Nagato saw a little bit of him in Xia.
Before he met Yahiko Konan, Nagato was wandering around, and he often felt that in such a big Rain Country and such a big ninja world, there was no place for him and no one he could rely on.
Although the two of them may have encountered different situations, Nagato could feel the loneliness in Scorpio.
Nagato wants to become Scorpion's Yahiko so that he will no longer be lonely.
"What is that? You really think of yourself as my brother, don't you." Xie couldn't help but mock.
Nagato showed a thoughtful expression, and then asked: "When were you born."
Yahiko can't be a Scorpion, so he can be his brother.
"November 8, XX." Xie subconsciously replied.
"Then there is no problem in terms of age. I was born on September 19, XX, the same year but earlier." Nagato nodded.
No matter in terms of age or height, he is enough to be Scorpio's elder brother.
Scorpio looked at Nagato with a black streak on his head, saying something sinister and angry at you for hitting the snake and then using the stick.
You think you can take advantage of him if you have the same hair color and are a little taller than him, right?
"No problem, I didn't agree." Xie said with a speechless expression.
"Let's go have breakfast." Nagato said calmly.
Seeing Nagato's indifferent expression, Xia suddenly felt very annoyed.
We are obviously the same age, but why are we always so calm when faced with his provocative words? It seems like he is making a fuss out of a molehill and making trouble unreasonably.
Xie Xie thought about it carefully, it was a bit like a good-natured brother treating his naughty brother gently.
"We have Mr. Soyousuke's class later, so we have to go early." Nagato saw the scorpion suddenly stood there with a look of displeasure and didn't know what to think, so he said.
Today is the fourth day of unlimited lectures. They also listened to the previous two days of lectures. Since there were a lot of Sunagakure present, Muyue also gave Xie a small benefit. During the lecture activities, the sealing technique would not be maintained so that Xie could use it. Disguise using the art of transformation.
Scorpion actually had the idea of taking advantage of this opportunity to run away.
Because he felt that with the sudden influx of so many ninjas into Liudao City, it would be difficult for the Ninja Sect to manage them. In addition, they did not have to be sealed for more than ten days, which was a perfect opportunity to escape.
But when he thought about Sosuke saying that if he was caught escaping and his sentence would be tripled, Xia didn't want to take the risk.
Scorpio has seen Nagato's perception ability before, and he is not very confident about running away from Nagato. Coupled with the mysterious Soyousuke, Scorpio doesn't want to gamble.
If you lose this bet, there is really no hope of revenge.
Xie didn't reply and just walked silently towards the cafeteria.
Although I don't particularly like Soyousuke, I have to admit that the title of Ninja Master is not wrong.
The scorpion master puppet master is not interested in other people's ninjutsu, but he can still listen to Soyousuke's lessons.
After the two of them finished eating, Xie used the transformation technique and then walked towards the training ground where the lecture was held.
They arrived neither too early nor too late, and there were already many people standing on the training field.
"Last time it was seven days, this time it will be eight days. Will the total teaching days for the third time become nine days?"
"It's difficult. The quality of Mr. Soyousuke's courses is so high. I feel like I have to prepare for it for a long time. I don't know when the next time will be."
Since Mu Yue hadn't arrived yet, the waiting ninjas were all chatting with acquaintances.
Nagato and Xia walked to the place where they had stopped for the previous two classes and waited quietly.
About twenty minutes later, Mu Yue arrived at the training ground and walked to the podium amidst the greetings from Teacher Soyousuke.
At this time, the originally noisy training ground quickly became quiet, and the ninjas all looked at Soyousuke.
Mu Yue smiled slightly and asked a few lucky students to answer their questions. When the time came, the formal classes began.
Time passed quickly, and before you knew it, Scorpio realized that dusk had arrived.
After finishing dinner with Nagato in the Ninja sect cafeteria, Xie went to the research room specially prepared for him by Mu Yue to start research on puppet prosthetics.
Normally, Scorpio studies during the day, but during the lecture period, he had to attend lectures during the day, so he switched to the evening.
When he first entered the research room, Xia occasionally thought about Kakashi and Nagato. After studying for a while, Xia concentrated on studying the puppet prosthetic limbs.
The reason why Scorpion came into contact with the Puppet Technique was not very good. Chiyo taught Scorpion Puppet Technique in order to distract Scorpion from the pain of losing his parents.
However, after coming into contact with puppetry, Scorpion really fell in love with it.
Puppets will not die or disappear inexplicably, and they can be repaired if they are broken. Such things that can exist forever are what Scorpion believes to be true art.
Therefore, Scorpion often indulges himself in studying puppetry, and it is common for him to forget to eat and sleep.
"It's almost time, it's time to wash up and go to bed." Nagato, who was practicing in the training room next door, walked into the laboratory and reminded.
Scorpion, who was swimming in the ocean of puppet technology, was suddenly forcibly pulled out, and couldn't help but glared at Nagato.
This is like being woken up in the middle of sleeping, and having a bowl smashed before eating when you are hungry. How can Scorpion not be angry?
"Tomorrow there is a class with Mr. Sosuke, and the day after tomorrow is a rest day."
Scorpion's momentum weakened a lot, but he still said: "Even if I study for another four hours, I can still get up early without feeling sleepy!"
Scorpion didn't like Sosuke's class so much that he had to go to listen to it. He just thought Sosuke's class was good.
The important thing is that Scorpion is worried that he will not attend the class. Sosuke thinks there is no need to use the transformation technique, so he takes away the little benefit, so that he can't take advantage of the opportunity to be a puppet.
"Well, I believe you, go back." Nagato nodded and said.
Scorpion's forehead wrinkled into a well, and it was too obvious that he was perfunctory.
However, when Scorpion thought of his little benefit, he didn't continue to be stubborn. He snorted coldly and left on his own.
"Ordinary people's wisdom, when I transform myself into an eternal body, what can I do if I don't sleep for a week." Scorpion thought in his heart.
The more Scorpion thought about it, the more he felt that the flesh and blood body was too useless. He actually had to waste seven or eight hours a day sleeping. If all this time could be used for research and study, the efficiency would be greatly improved.
...
Happy times are always short, and time soon came to the last day of the second unlimited lecture.
On this day, Mu Yue no longer arrived ten minutes in advance, but arrived at the training ground thirty minutes before the lecture began.
"Hey, time has passed so quickly, and the class is about to start?" Some ninjas were a little surprised when they saw Sosuke.
Because Mu Yue was too punctual, they subconsciously thought that Sosuke's arrival meant that there were only ten minutes left before the class.
"Did you get up late today?"
Some people found that the number of people on the field was wrong, not as many as before.
"Why did it become thirty minutes earlier?" Lao Zi was a little confused.
Since he arrived at this time most of the time, Lao Zi knew at once that Sosuke came earlier than usual.
"Maybe because this is the last class? After all, it is said that there are only eight days of courses." Four Tail thought for a while and said.
"It turns out that it is already the eighth class." Lao Zi was slightly stunned.
He lived a fulfilling life in Liudao City. When he had classes, he went to class. When he didn't have classes, he went to the classroom of the Ninja Sect to read books and listen to the discussions of the Ninja Sect ninjas. He didn't feel the passage of time.
"There are still thirty minutes before the class. Next, I will randomly select some ninjas..." Mu Yue started to select ninjas to answer questions as usual.
There has to be something different on the last day. In order to give more ninjas the opportunity to ask questions, Mu Yue arrived at the training ground earlier.
When Soyousuke said that there were still 30 minutes before the class, the ninjas below showed joyful expressions.
Before, it was usually 10 minutes to draw five to six, but today it was 30 minutes, and the probability of being drawn has increased significantly.
The ninjas who came later were stunned when they saw Soyousuke standing on the podium, and they also thought that they were late. After listening to others’ explanation, they realized that Soyousuke came earlier.
When it was 15 minutes before the class, almost all the ninjas who attended the class had arrived.
Because Soyousuke arrived 10 minutes early, many people had such an idea that if Soyousuke arrived early one day, the probability of being drawn earlier would be higher.
Good news, Soyousuke was indeed early.
Bad news, it was unexpected that he arrived too early at once.
But no one cared about this, and they all listened to Soyousuke’s answers attentively.
Because most of the problems encountered by ninjas are actually similar, answering one person's problem is actually useful to many people.
"Can he answer my question?" Hanzo thought to himself as he watched Sosuke on the podium easily answer the questions of all the ninjas.
He was very curious about Sosuke's water escape level and whether he would be stronger than him.
However, Hanzo didn't want to be picked by Sosuke.
Because it would be embarrassing for him to ask Sosuke to answer his questions in public.
Hanzo also knew that Sosuke would not pick him, after all, he had warned Sosuke before.
The thirty minutes before class passed quickly, and Hanzo was indeed not picked.
"If I can only use water escape in a private battle with him, will he agree?" Hanzo thought of a simpler and more brutal method.
What is the water escape level? Once we fight, we will know everything.
The method is indeed a good one, but Hanzo's face showed a rare hesitation.
Hanzo had to admit that even if they only compared the water jutsu that he was best at, Hanzo had no confidence that he could beat Sosuke.
And this was a worthless battle for Hanzo.
It would be useless to talk about his victory over Sosuke, and it would only further reduce his reputation.
Because Hanzo was known as the strongest in the water jutsu in the ninja world, he, the strongest in the water jutsu, went to compete with the strong fire jutsu master in the water jutsu, and then won. What was there to say?
It would be even worse if he lost, and the strongest water release ninja would become Soyousuke.
"What I'm going to talk about today is..."
When the sound of Sosuke's lecture reached Hanzo's ears, Hanzo calmed down and did not want to concentrate on listening to the lecture.
"All courses have ended, I hope everyone can learn something."
It was Soyousuke's voice that brought Hanzo out of his thoughts about the course content.
"It's over again. It feels so fast, as if it came yesterday." A ninja sighed.
The more than half a year that Soyousuke didn't teach was like a year, and the past ten days since the class started, he felt that time flew by.
"Yes, it always feels like a day passes so quickly here." A ninja next to him said in sympathy.
Soyousuke's courses seem to have some mysterious ability that can speed up the passage of time.
"Eight classes are over." Lao Zi also felt a little emotional and a little excited at the same time.
Like other ninjas, he also felt that class time passed quickly and there was still much to learn.
But the end of the lecture also meant that Lao Zi was about to meet Soyousuke, so Lao Zi felt a little excited.
Before setting off, Lao Zi wanted to meet Soyousuke because he admired Soyousuke's deeds and wanted to meet the legendary ninja master.
When he arrived at the Country of Rain, he walked all the way from the south to the north and then to the Six Paths City. These experiences made Lao Zi know more about Soyousuke.
But Soyousuke was an amazing person. The more Lao Zi got to know him, not only did he not lose interest, but he also became more looking forward to it.
Hanzo glanced at Soyousuke, then turned around and left without saying anything.
When Yu Ninja saw Hanzo walking away without saying a word, he immediately used body language to remind the surrounding Yu Ninjas who had not yet reacted, and then followed him.
After the lecture, most of the ninjas dispersed, and a small number of ninjas stayed temporarily for various reasons.
Lao Zi is one of the remaining ones.
After class, Lao Zi had a meal at a restaurant near the hotel and then stayed in the hotel, reading a book and waiting for news from the Ninja Sect.
Lao Zi expected to receive the news from the Ninja Sect in about two days, and then be able to meet Soyousuke in about a week.
After all, Soyousuke had just finished holding a large-scale lecture event, so it was reasonable to take a short break.
"Are you free tonight? If you are, I can take you to see Mr. Soyousuke in an hour." Nagato approached Lao Zi and asked.
Lao Zi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Soyousuke to choose to meet on the same night after the meeting.
"Yes." Lao Zi quickly replied.
He is really free now, available around the clock.
PS:
Konoha year XX does not exist in the original work. It is a product compiled based on the ages of the original characters and the formula book.
Since the original work does not have a chronology, it only writes the year XX. Nagato and Xia were indeed born in the same year.
