Completed the level!
finally!
Completed the level!!!
The boy simply didn't know how to vent his excitement at this moment.
One hundred and one times!!!
That was the one hundred and first time!!!
Not only that, he also avoided all the traps.
Not only the signboard, but also the fake patriarch!
snort.
This guy lost because he didn't understand Uchiha at all.
How could the Uchiha give up?
The clan leader would only say, "Stand up, who told you to give up?" OK?
He could tell it was fake at a glance!
——If the patriarch knew about this one day.
I'm sure he will praise him.
The more the boy thought about it, the more excited he became.
Finally, he couldn't help but jump onto the roof in two steps.
Then he opened his arms and shouted to the dim sky:
"I! Completed the game!"
He spoke in a loud and passionate voice.
“Nothing can stop me!!!”
We Uchiha are the best!!!
Recalling the traps and tortures he encountered during the process of clearing the game, the boy couldn't help but burst into tears.
But the joy and sense of accomplishment that comes after experiencing extreme pain and frustration.
But it is also unparalleled.
He had never been so happy in his life.
What does it mean to become a ninja? What does it mean to pass the Chunin Exam?
In the face of this moment's ecstasy, they are all younger brothers.
This is probably the pinnacle of life.
"I am the strongest!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
The young man laughed wildly and pounded his chest with his fists.
It seemed that only this way could he express his surging emotions at this moment.
The boy was delighted.
The villagers of Konoha were angry.
"Who is it? Why are you so crazy so early in the morning?"
"That's right. If you're sick, you should get treatment. How can you take care of them at home? Why did you let someone escape?"
Even for a ninja this is too much.
Who would go crazy in the early morning and disturb others’ sleep?
"No, I have to go see which bastard is crazy."
With this thought in mind, several people got up, got dressed and prepared to go out.
On the other side, the Uchiha side also took quick action.
They were not annoyed at being woken up - in fact, for the ninjas, this was the time when many of them were preparing to go for training.
The reason why they are so excited now is that they have to bring this crazy tribesman back before others take action.
——Otherwise, where would the Uchiha clan keep their dignity?
"Hurry up, hurry up, we have to bring him back before everyone else!"
The head can be cut off and blood can be shed, but the Uchiha's face must not be lost!
However, I don’t know if the boy was too excited.
Even after seeing his tribesmen, he showed no signs of calming down.
Instead, there were signs that he became even more crazy because he saw someone he knew and someone who shared his joy.
“I cleared the level!”
"I've cleared the level, you know what?"
"One hundred and first time! I actually survived one pit after another!"
"A level with 10,000 traps, designed to target you - I don't understand how someone could design such a disgusting level."
"It's like he can read my mind every time and takes action according to my plan - every time! I made predictions for a long time, but he just predicted my predictions!"
The Uchiha who was caught by him was dumbfounded.
No, what are you talking about?
But seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, he had no choice but to continue speaking:
"No, calm down."
"I was very calm! But you know what, even so, I still cleared the level - so what if you predicted it? Aren't I just better?"
Captured Uchiha:? You call this calm?
You're still going crazy.
Than outright madness.
This state of being completely unaware that one is going crazy often results in more severe symptoms and is more difficult to resolve.
In desperation, several Uchiha looked at each other and chose the final solution -
"Stop his mouth and take him away! If you are good at illusion, use some illusions around him to prevent anyone from getting close to you or being discovered!"
"yes!"
Since we can't convince them with words, we can only solve it physically!
Go ahead, brothers!
So several Uchiha young men rushed over and vented their anger on everyone they met, dancing and waving their hands half crazy.
The insane tribesmen were pinned to the ground and packed up and taken away.
——Until he was trapped and taken away as a mummy.
The boy's vague voice could still be heard from inside: "I passed the level."
"I've cleared the level, you know?"
The devil's sound penetrates my brain.
It was like the whisper of some kind of curse...
The Uchiha who went to arrest people even suspected that their dreams tonight would all start with the sentence "Do you know?"
It's horrible - what on earth had he been through?
What happened to them, the Uchiha still didn't know.
But something was wrong with the tribesmen, or rather, something was wrong with the entire Uchiha Street, and they felt it.
The first thing is that the streets are eerily neat.
Uchiha Street used to be very neat and tidy, but now it has reached an outrageous level.
Walking onto Uchiha Street, it was like entering a world of forced alignment.
Not only were the archways on the streets repositioned and angled, but the decorations were also all aligned.
Even the branches extending from the yard are neatly facing the same direction, and the angles and thickness of the branches and leaves are almost the same.
At first glance, it can even make people feel creepy.
Too neat, too consistent.
It was as if some strange existence that humans could not understand had changed them.
And those objects and plants, under this strange manipulation whose true nature people are unaware of, quietly stare at the people passing by.
--Alas!
The more I think about it, the creepier it gets.
Then there were the strange noises that occurred every day.
Click, click, whoosh.
Occasionally there would be a sound like something heavy falling or being broken.
Although it is just a little sound, it will not affect people's lives.
But it's not a big deal that there are always such noises, so the curious Uchiha began to investigate the situation.
But I don’t know if it’s because I’m too slow or if there’s something wrong with my ability to identify the location by sound.
Every time I came up empty-handed.
"Did you see the person who was just here?"
He curiously asked the girl of his tribe who was cleaning the yard over there.
"It seemed so, but I didn't notice it - what happened?"
"It seems that I have been hearing strange noises in the past few days, and I don't know who is doing what."
The girl who was cleaning the yard nodded in understanding.
"I see. I'll be more careful next time."
"OK."
The man left, scratching the back of his head.
--etc.
Why did she say to be careful next time?
After walking a distance, the man suddenly realized the strangeness of the girl's words.
But he soon felt relieved.
It's probably saying, 'Next time, pay attention to who's making these mischievous noises.'
Before I
Ah, how thoughtful and reliable.
The man walked further and further away.
That's why he didn't notice that after he left, the girl let go of the broom and instead filled her hands with kunai and explosive talismans.
"It's a shame to lose time, but it doesn't matter, it won't affect the work - pest control time has begun!"
Dirt, pests...nothing can be left behind!
The world! Must be cleaned!!!
These strange events, which were not serious but also had some impact, were eventually reported to the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku.
Facing the repeated doubts and concerns of his clansmen, Uchiha Fugaku looked serious and said that he would thoroughly investigate the matter and give everyone an explanation.
But I can't express my pain in my heart.
Are these things strange?
Of course it's strange.
But does he really not know what is going on?
That's not the case. Not only that, he knew exactly what was going on.
...It's nothing more than a continuation of some of the aftereffects of some Uchiha having their eyes opened.
It's just that the situation this time was a bit special and lasted a bit longer.
The impact seems to be slightly greater than in the past.
But after all, it is a mass opening of eyes without any sacrifice, right?
Uchiha Fugaku tried to convince himself.
Four or five people opened their eyes at once.
This is the first time in Uchiha's recorded history.
No matter how you look at it, it's still a huge profit. There are some side effects and a little price to pay...that's normal, right?
As he spoke, he looked out the window again.
Through the open window, one can see a girl who appeared out of nowhere, holding ninja tools and trimming the branches extending from the inside of her wall.
The girl was so focused and her movements were very particular.
Aim to have nearly identical stems and leaves on each branch.
Of course, the direction of the leaves and branches must also be consistent.
If you listen more carefully, you can hear the faint sound of reading in the wind.
The chattering sound of reading and the profound and complex formulaic knowledge are like some kind of spell.
The kind that will affect your mind if you listen to it too much.
Along with that, there was a burnt smell coming from somewhere, as if something was burning.
That's double the effect.
Uchiha Fugaku closed the window.
As long as he can't see or hear it, it can be rounded off to the nearest integer and it doesn't happen.
However, the Uchiha's abnormality unexpectedly lasted for quite a long time.
And without anyone noticing, it extended outward.
Thus, the 'horror story' that originally existed only in Uchiha became a horror story in Konoha.
Because overnight, people found that the streets were strangely clean and tidy.
Although there are people cleaning the streets on weekdays.
But the cleanliness nowadays is totally different from that kind of cleaning.
The first person to discover it was a teenager who was kicked out by his family to clean the door.
He came out yawning with a broom in his hand, and as soon as he swept, he discovered something extremely embarrassing.
That's the broom in his hand, which is dirtier than the street surface.
The streets at this time were so clean that not even a single extra pebble or leaf fragment could be seen.
Not to mention the puddles that can be seen from time to time, as well as the mud and moss at the base of the walls.
In this situation, it was really embarrassing for the boy to hold a broom covered with dust, dry leaves and fragments in his hand.
Especially when one of the broken leaves falls down swaying and shaky.
That would feel even more awkward.
——As if I had caused trouble myself.
And it was the kind where one would leave fingerprints on clean glass without a single flaw in public.
So here comes the question.
What should I do now?
It was his family who broke the boy's embarrassment and helplessness.
There was no sound of cleaning, so the old man thought someone was being lazy and walked out angrily with crab steps.
"Hey! You little brat, why are you—"
"Grandpa..."
juvenile
Looking back, the old man also walked to the door.
Noticing that it was clean outside, he said happily:
"Hey, you did a great job, that's how my children should be. But why is the door still dirty? Didn't you clean it up?"
Boy: ...No, that 'dirty bit' was actually done by me'.
Then, this strange 'cleaning' began to spread from one or two streets, gradually encroaching on other spaces in Konoha.
Because the streets that suddenly become "clean" each time do not belong to the same neighborhood and have no apparent connection, it is difficult for people to draw any conclusions from them.
Not to mention finding the person involved.
All people knew was that after they woke up one night, news would spread from Konoha the next day that "xx streets had become spotless."
Although no matter whether you look forward, backward, left or right, the development is very bizarre.
But after all, it is a good thing that the streets have become cleaner. No one was injured and people’s lives were not affected. On the contrary, people’s mood has become a little better because of the clean windows and desks.
Not only did the dilemma that Uchiha Fugaku worried about, 'Uchiha going crazy and being caught, causing outcry', not occur, but many people admired him - there were even legends like 'this must be a fairy repaying a favor'.
It's similar to "The Crane Returns Gratitude" and "The Snail Girl".
Since we can't find the person, we can't understand the motive of the action.
That must be the power of some inhuman being!
People said confidently: "Look at the tailed beasts... and the ninja beasts of the ninjas, aren't they all human-like or able to speak human language?"
All right.
Can't refute it.
Well-reasoned and convincing.
Thus, the legend about someone in Konoha doing good deeds and then having kind-hearted monsters and fairies come to repay the favor spread.
Even several different schools have evolved.
Some people say it is the image of a slender girl in white.
Some people also say that she is a lively girl with full of energy.
"I saw her take out the talisman paper, and with a snap, the garbage disappeared."
"It's obvious that just by brushing the tree a few times, the branches and leaves on the tree become neat and tidy as if they were carved out of a mold!"
"Maybe it's a tree demon?"
"It's obviously a snow demon."
Some even say that they are actually a group, and they all move in groups - so people
Only then will we see shadows of different images.
This also explains how they can transform a street so drastically in just one night ( or even less).
After all, this efficiency is too high - even the magical ninjutsu can't do it.
"So is it some kind of witchcraft or magic?"
——This question, along with the true nature of the "fairy", where it came from, and why it came, has become a well-known "unsolved mystery " of Konoha and has continued to this day.
And along with the mysterious 'street cleaning incident', another thing unexpectedly became popular in Konoha and even spread outside.
That is...
"do what?"
For a moment, the Raikage thought he had misheard.
“Do good things.”
The ninja who reported thought he had not explained himself clearly, so he hurriedly repeated it again.
"The biggest trend in Konoha right now is doing good deeds."
Although an alliance has been formed and peace has been achieved, this does not mean that the barriers and vigilance between the ninja villages have completely disappeared.
The necessary intelligence gathering work still needs to be carried out.
Especially the Sand Village and Konoha Village, the two places that first became rich.
Who knows if they will secretly make a fortune without telling their fellow ninja brothers?
As they are both ninja villages, making money is important.
But being number one is equally important.
Especially since the current leader of Konoha is the Yondaime, who is very cunning and doesn't seem like a ninja. If they don't pay more attention, how can these straightforward ninjas who only know how to fight and kill win against him?
But doing good things is too...
In short, it makes people very suspicious of the mental state of the person who made this decision and actually did it.
"I heard that it was because someone in Konoha did a good deed, and the fairy who was helped came to repay the favor."
The Raikage slowly typed a question mark.
"I remember I asked you to gather intelligence."
And you come and tell me the legend?
"Yes, it's bizarre, but it's true."
The ninja also looked as if he was doubting his life.
What happened in recent years was enough to overturn his three views as a ninja.
The recent incident shattered his common sense.
——The story of the crane repaying a favor, shouldn’t it just be a f*cking legend?!
"Recently, some kind of existence has suddenly started cleaning Konoha - not just sweeping the floor, but the entire street is spotless."
"The dirt, gravel, fallen leaves, rotten stems...even the remains of insects and the branches growing in all directions on the roadside were all trimmed to the same specifications."
Although it was difficult for him to imagine that non-human creatures could work in accordance with human cognition and aesthetics.
But there is no other answer besides this explanation, right?
"Are you sure it's the goblin repaying a favor?"
"...It could also be a fairy. There are rumors in Konoha that someone saw a fairy in the early morning."
There are currently two most widespread theories.
One is that someone encountered an injured animal in the wild, helped it drive away the black shadow that was about to attack it (they didn't know why it was a black shadow) and bandaged its wounds. Then the injured animal was actually a goblin, and after its wounds healed, it came back to repay the favor.
The other is that the fairy actually lives among humans in human form and acts in the same way and with human appearance.
One day it was in danger and was rescued.
The fairy remembered this kindness.
It was just because it was in a bad state at the time and didn't remember what its benefactor looked like. It only knew that the benefactor was from Konoha. And the reason why it was cleaning the streets was just because it was shuttling through the streets, looking for its benefactor.
But no matter which statement it is, it is related to "repaying a favor" - I guess people also think that if it is not for repaying a favor, no one would go to so much trouble to do such a tiring thing.
After all, it is not a yard or a family, but many streets.
Even though a street is not very long, it is not an easy task to clean it to the point of being spotless.
"Didn't you guys go and see what it was?"
The Raikage still didn't believe it.
He thought this was outrageous.
The Hidden Cloud Village has always been a militant group.
To them, nothing about fist and foot ninjutsu is outrageous.
But 'The Fairy Returns'...
Is this even possible?
"We investigated, but the news from Konoha is that no one has ever actually seen what a 'fairy' looks like, and which street is cleaned is completely random, and there is no connection so far."
"It's not like no one has been there to stake out Konoha, but it's true that no one has ever found it. We've tried to find it, but due to a lack of intelligence and manpower, we haven't encountered it."
"Besides that, even if someone happened to live on that street, they said they had no idea - it was as if it was done in a blink of an eye."
'It's over in a moment' - this sounds a bit like the effect of an illusion.
But the ninja did not speak out this fleeting possibility.
after all……
"Then it could be something strange."
The Raikage narrowed his eyes.
"After all, there's no way anyone would be so bored as to use ninjutsu genjutsu to clean the streets incognito."
——How could anyone do this?
It's not like there's anything mentally wrong.
But then again.
"So, what 'good' things did the people of Konoha do?"
The Raikage was really curious.
He was not envious, but just felt a little uncomfortable.
How come the Hidden Cloud Village has never encountered such a good monster?
Doing good things, protecting people, etc... they can do that too!
Damn Konoha, why do all the good things always happen to them first! ?
Similar things are happening in other places.
All of a sudden, various folklorists and legends were taken seriously by people.
——There is a 'Crane Repays Gratitude', so why can't there be a second and a third one?
At the same time, the various ninja villages and the surrounding areas were unprecedentedly peaceful and tranquil. It was not for any other reason.
The main thing is that a lot of people are following the trend and trying to 'do good'.
Although I know it's impossible, but...
What if?
Such cool and fun stuff.
What if it really happens?
Anyway, doing a good deed or helping out doesn't take much time or energy.
It is better to say that the cost investment is really quite low.
This trend spread from Konoha to various ninja villages.
In the end, this strange and bizarre action caused another boomerang to hit Konoha.
"Yes, it seems that the behavior of 'doing good deeds' is popular in every ninja village."
Of course, Konoha also has spies who investigate intelligence from other ninja villages.
It was such a spy who came to report to the Konoha high-level officials at this time.
Although he tried hard to suppress his emotions and explain in the calmest voice without any personal emotion, people could still feel his emotions from the slightly twitching corners of his eyes and mouth.
——This is really off the mark.
Because it was so weird, some people couldn't help laughing.
"Ninjas follow the trend and do good things... this is really true."
"I think the legend might be true."
Some people also found it interesting and mentioned the legend of "the fairy repaying a favor".
"After all, we haven't found the person involved yet, right?"
"So maybe it's really like the legend says, there are no 'people' in this world, but something other than humans."
As the man spoke, the smile on his face became more and more intense:
"After all, how could a sane person do such a thing?"
It's exhausting and tiring...
There can't be anyone who really loves cleaning to this extent, right?
No way, no way, there are such weird people?
Uchiha Fugaku on the side: I can’t laugh.
He exchanged a glance with the Fourth Generation, who also did not laugh because he knew the truth.
Slowly, slowly he raised his hands and covered his face.
In fact, there are really such people in the world.
And this person just happened to be from Uchiha.
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was really like a dumb person eating bitter herbs - he couldn't express his pain in words.
That's enough.
It's time to end this.
Keep going like this.
He is not crazy, but his mental state is in danger.
And I don’t know if his prayers worked.
This group of tribesmen who had opened their eyes suddenly calmed down.
Uchiha Fugaku was immediately overjoyed, and then felt proud.
That’s right, that’s what the Uchiha people should be like. No matter what difficulties, obstacles, pain and despair they face, they can get through it with their own strength.
However……
"Oh, the main thing is that I have to go back to work at Yuyue Store."
Opening your eyes is certainly a big deal.
But work is a big deal too.
After being absent from work for so long, it’s time to get busy again!
Uchiha Fugaku: "..."
Although this idea was my own from the beginning to the end, why... why does it make me feel so uncomfortable now? !
