Escape From Konoha

Chapter 67: Copper smelting to enrich the country and strengthen the army

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

According to the agreement, Shiraishi went to meet Ayane.

The so-called 'old place' refers to Shiraishi's original home, which was cleaned only a few times a year.

"It's on time, Shiraishi-kun."

At the entrance downstairs of the apartment, she saw Ayane, who had arrived on time, and stood there smiling.

"Didn't you say meet at two o'clock?"

"That's right."

"Then why are you looking for me? I don't remember any important observation tasks given to you. So, you deliberately deceived Liuli and asked me to come out. Did something happen?"

Ayane could deceive Ruri with the observation mission, but she couldn't deceive him.

Because there is no important observation task given to Ayane, Shiraishi knows best in his heart.

Although Ayane had been assigned many observation tasks in the past, that was because the experiment was just in its infancy, and many things really needed to be observed.

Now that the research is already on the right track, ordinary experiments don't use blind eyes, and I don't know how to use blind eyes to observe things that I don't understand.

So he thinks that Ayane has other things to find him, not the so-called observation task.

"Can't I call you out if there is nothing to do?"

"It's not like that, it just feels weird all of a sudden."

"I happen to be very busy today, so I want to invite you to go shopping together."

"Are you two in a hurry?"

Shiraishi complained.

I just went shopping with Liuli yesterday afternoon, and I'm going to do it again today.

Another day, if the two of them have the need to go shopping again, they can just go together as three to save time.

"what?"

Ayane glanced at Shiraishi suspiciously.

"No, it's nothing, I'm just complaining."

"If there is any interruption, Shiraishi-kun can leave me alone. After all, work is important."

Ayane blinked at Shiraishi and smiled understandingly.

"No, my work has been relatively smooth recently. And I'm not so busy. I have no problem here."

If at this time really go back directly because of work, it would be too heartbreaking.

Besides, there are a few temporary assistants in the laboratory, as long as you strictly follow the experimental steps given by him and carry out the experiment slowly, basically nothing will go wrong.

"Really? That would be better."

"However, do you have anything to buy?"

"Yeah, I don't know why lately, but I always feel stuffy in my chest, as if the clothes inside would be suddenly torn apart."

Ayane tugged at her collar and didn't care to say these words in front of Shiraishi.

"Don't suddenly say such things in front of me, be careful I'll take it seriously."

Really, one by one actually didn't make him worry.

Shiraishi sighed helplessly.

"Then now, do you want to thoroughly examine me inside and out, Doctor Shiraishi?"

Ayane gently stroked the bangs on her forehead, and the smile on her face was very pure and moving.

When she said this, she didn't seem to think that her words were so powerful for a boy.

To some extent, Shiraishi believes that Ayane is more dangerous than Ruri.

It's all to blame for setting a bad example for her when she was a child.

Now there are already a lot of learnings out of the way.

When she first met Ayane, the other party was still a cute girl with a simple mind and the same face.

But since that incident, although the other party still looks innocent and harmless on the outside, the essence of the inside... has already been completely broken.

If she had known this earlier, she should have been educated in another way.

It's too late to regret now.

"don't want."

Shiraishi felt that his heart was beating violently out of his control for a moment, he temporarily took his eyes away from Ayane and adjusted his breathing slightly.

If you think she is a frivolous person based on her words, you will definitely suffer.

This is just like myself, a woman who is good at disguise and deception.

Completely different from the traditional Hinata clan ninja.

Seeing Shiraishi's rejection, Ayane just smiled and said nothing.

Next, Shiraishi followed Ayane's footsteps and wandered around Konoha Village.

For Shiraishi, this is just the same as taking a walk outside to relax, although I don't know why women are suddenly enthusiastic about shopping for no reason...

But from the physical and psychological aspects of men and women, there are very big differences between the two, so let's take this as a meaningful behavior.

The weather at the end of August is always so sultry. Although the hottest hour of the day has passed, the sun in the afternoon is still very dazzling.

The Land of Fire is a country with four distinct seasons, and the Konoha Village that lives in this country is naturally the same.

Since it was during the war, there were not many working ninjas that could be seen on the streets of Konoha.

Except for the ninjas like Shiraishi who temporarily stayed in the village for special reasons, there were some who really needed to stay in the village to protect the safety of the village.

From Shiraishi's eyes, the prosperity of Konoha Village is actually very low, but compared to the general environment of the ninja world, internal peace is already a blessing.

Ayane didn't have a lot of things to buy, most of them were decorations that Shiraishi wasn't very interested in.

Seeing Ayane picking and choosing among the shops, even from the side, she is a very cute girl.

Her skin was as white as snow, and the long black hair covering her back was shining with a jet-black luster after being irradiated by the sun.

Bai Shi looked around, and immediately saw a gray-and-white cat lying lazily on the opposite wall. With that lazy posture, as if he had just woken up from a sweet sleep, he raised one forelimb to lick it. Lick up.

It looked nothing out of the ordinary.

Shiraishi scratched his head, and just as he stepped up to walk past, Ayane's voice came from behind him: "What's wrong?"

"Ah, I'm looking at the cat."

Shiraishi turned his head and replied.

"Cat?"

Ayane followed Shiroishi's line of sight, and there was nothing on the opposite wall, and there was no cat at all.

"left already."

This is over.

"Really, what's so beautiful about cats?"

Ayane's tone was dissatisfied.

"Why, do you hate cats?"

"I can't say I hate it, but I don't like it either. If you want to keep pets, dogs are better."

Shiraishi nodded. Indeed, from a high probability, he also prefers to keep dogs.

The Inuzuka clan has opened a ninja dog shop in the village. Because the price is much more expensive than ordinary pet dogs, and the food of ninja dogs is very luxurious, so few ninjas buy and adopt them.

You can take a look at it some other day.

Ninja... that sounds cool.

The most important thing is that the dog's nose is very smart, and when necessary, it can bring good results.

"Because dog meat is delicious, cat meat tastes bad."

Ayane added another sentence, as if she had a deep research on this.

Hearing this sentence, Shiraishi immediately gave up his plans to raise a ninja dog.

It felt like the day I bought it, it would go into Ayane's stomach.

"Where are you going next?"

Shiraishi asked.

"I want to buy a few new clothes. I feel like I really have to put on new clothes every month. It's too tight. I also felt tightness in my chest during the last mission."

Ayane gave a wry smile and patted her already promising chest.

"…"

Shiraishi didn't know how to interface.

She had to obey Ayane and go shopping for new clothes with her.

When I was walking Shiraishi, I realized that something was wrong. This road... I seem to have been with Liuli yesterday.

Sure enough, the clothing store that I visited with Liuli yesterday was right in front of me.

However, it wasn't Fujimura-sensei who received him in the clothing store, but a young woman she didn't know.

The figure is of a small type, with shoulder-length brown short hair, and a good figure and face.

Shiraishi remembered that Fujimura said yesterday that this is the shop of his girlfriend now. Is this woman Fujimura's girlfriend?

After Shiraishi glanced at her, he didn't pay much attention.

"Welcome, you two, please take your time."

The female shopkeeper smiled kindly.

"Okay thank you."

Ayane nodded to the female shopkeeper, and began to choose clothes in the shop.

"By the way, Shiraishi-kun, what color underwear do you think I should wear better?"

"Why do you ask me for such a thing? Just buy it in whatever color you like."

Shiraishi tilted his head.

"Would it be white or black?"

Ayane stopped there, looking seriously thinking.

"I've said it all, buy it if you like it, there's no need to take my opinion."

"In other words, Shiraishi-kun likes other colors? Pink and white? Or a more gorgeous purple?"

"Where did you see that I was expressing my opinion?"

Shiraishi looked at Ayane speechlessly.

Ayane became embarrassed and said, "However, when we girls choose clothes, it's not necessarily for ourselves."

Then, her smile became meaningful.

"Then it's white."

Shiraishi gave his opinion very bluntly.

"Well, um, then white is fine."

Ayane asked the female shopkeeper to take down the set of underwear she was interested in and pack it in a delicate bag.

Shiraishi kept his eyes on the outside, but this time he didn't see the cat.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed that someone patted his shoulder beside him, it was Ayane.

"Shiroishi-kun, are you distracted again?"

"I'm looking at the cat."

"What about my proposal just now?"

Ayane looked over with pure eyes.

"Proposal? What proposal?"

Perhaps when he was paying attention to the cat, he missed something, and Shiraishi looked puzzled.

"The clothes I wore during the Chinese New Year last year were a little too small. I want you to show me the new styles."

New Year's Eve? Is it a kimono again?

Bai Shishi was in pain.

Like the Uchihas, the Hinata clan is a ninja clan that attaches great importance to tradition.

Every time during Chinese New Year, women will wear a very solemn kimono, which means going away from the old and welcoming the new, and participating in the annual festival of the clan.

"Just choose whatever you want."

"That's an important annual festival. How can you choose anything? But I did like one, and that's it."

Looking in the direction Ayane pointed, it was a white base with a pink cherry blossom pattern on it. Just at first glance, Shiraishi felt that if it was worn on Ayane, it would definitely look very good. fit.

Shiraishi nodded and said, "It's pretty good, so let's do this."

Even if he was beaten to death this time, he wouldn't say anything about buying this kind of clothes and giving them to girls.

"Does Shiraishi-kun also think this one is good? That's it."

Ayane happily wanted to ask the female shopkeeper to take off the kimono, but she suddenly covered her stomach with an uncomfortable look on her face.

"What's wrong?"

"I ate too much at noon, and now my stomach hurts a bit. Sorry, can you wait here for a while, Shiraishi-kun? I'll be back soon."

Shiraishi nodded without thinking.

However, half an hour after Ayane left, she still didn't see her coming back, and Shiraishi frowned.

The female shopkeeper over there has already packed Ayane's chosen kimono and placed it with her underwear, waiting for her to come back and pay for it.

But... why is the female shopkeeper's face getting more and more strange?

Does it mean that you are afraid of not giving money?

Just when Shiraishi wondered why Ayane hadn't come back, a passerby walked in from outside, handed Shiraishi a note, and said, "This is something a little girl asked me to bring to you before."

The passerby left after speaking.

"…"

Shiraishi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Opened the note and looked at it, there was a paragraph written on it—

I'm sorry, Shiraishi-kun, someone in the clan suddenly came looking for me, I'm going back now. Can you help me advance the money for the clothes first? I will return it to you later. If possible, it would be even better to hand the clothes to me during Chinese New Year. At that time, I will wear it for Shiraishi-kun to see.

...I was tricked?

This was Shiraishi's first thought.

When did Ayane's deceitful tricks become more and more difficult for him to see through?

She shouldn't have been trained that way in the first place.

Now there is indeed a problem.

Under the impatient look of the female shopkeeper, Shiraishi resolutely handed over the money for the two clothes. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Only in this way did the female shopkeeper's face turn cloudy: "Welcome to come and come again, you can get a 10% discount."

Shiraishi was carrying the bag containing the clothes and felt that the clothes in the bag were heavy.

It wasn't that he didn't understand Ayane or Liu Li's intentions.

It is normal for girls of this age to care about things that boys don't care about.

The feelings are also very pure and direct.

But Shiraishi felt that when it comes to emotional matters, we should neither force it, but let it flow naturally, nor be frivolous.

Now the good feeling is not necessarily love, it may be some other emotion.

It seems a little arrogant to think this way, but in Shiraishi's eyes, that's what love is all about.

Everyone will think that their love is unique, but in fact it is just a vulgar story that keeps repeating itself.

To think so, Shiraishi thinks he has always been a laity.

I was really troubled by this kind of thing before, I was really embarrassed. Shiroishi sighed inwardly.

No matter what he is, he is not a normal twelve-year-old child.

He has a mature soul, his own plans, and a deep understanding of his own life.

And these values ​​may not fit with Ruri or Ayane in the future.

Shiraishi doesn't want to disappoint anyone who treats him well.

Most importantly, it's too small...

I can't let go.

It is impossible to enrich the country and strengthen the army by smelting copper, only to go to jail.

Those sinful values ​​deeply bound him.

Do as the locals do, that's only for a certain part of things.

The feelings of those you cherish are the last thing you should play with or trample on.
