Naruto: Ming Dynasty people roaming the ninja world

Mo Congfeng arrived at the residence of the Aburame clan and after a brief inquiry found Aburame Shio and asked him if he had any reliable team members to recommend. After all, Danzo once said that it would be best to have a ninja from a secret family, and in this regard, Mo Congfeng didn't know many people.

I really hope that Shio Aburame, who also comes from a secret family, has some connections, but most of the ninjas that Shio Aburame knows are Chunins, and some are even Genins, which is not a good choice.

The fact that a Chunin like Aburame Shio could become a member of the Root organization was a helpless choice made by Danzo Shimura due to the lack of manpower. However, the First Team of the Fourth Division might receive the mission of protecting the Third Hokage, so the level of the ninja should not be too low.

Aburame Shio suggested that Mo Congfeng go talk to Captain Hatake. Captain Hatake has been a ninja for a long time and has experienced countless battles. Now he is the squad leader of the jonin squad and has the power to dominate the jonin meetings. He has reached the pinnacle of jonin and he will definitely be able to recommend suitable team members.

Mo Congfeng had his own ideas. The Hatake team had actually split up. He and Aburame Shio had become members of the Anbu ninja. Although the village did not stipulate that ninjas who joined the Anbu had to leave their original team, the fact was that the Anbu's mission would conflict with the mission of the original team, and it was difficult for ninjas to do both.

Mo Congfeng thought to himself that the split of the Hatake team might have been intentional by the Third Hokage, and it had already started from the mission of protecting Shimura Danzo. The arrangement of the big shots did not need to have any particularly clear purpose, as long as it was pushed from the side again and again!

But Mo Congfeng didn't want to quit the Hatake team just yet. Hatake Sakumo was his savior and he needed to repay him. Mo Congfeng didn't want to rush to tell Hatake Sakumo about his withdrawal and still wanted to delay. What's more, Hatake Sakumo needed to avoid suspicion. As the leader of the jonin squad, it was not rational for him to put people into the Anbu directly under the Hokage!

Another person that Mo Congfeng could recommend as a teammate is Miss Shizuka's brother, Kinoshita Ichiro! Perhaps there are many civilian ninjas like him who need to be organized into the Anbu, and can rely on the identity of the Anbu to get rid of the embarrassing situation in life!

The Third Hokage has temporarily returned to Konoha, and Kinoshita Ichiro may also be in Konoha at this time. After informing Aburame Shio of his address, Mo Congfeng said goodbye and left.

On the way to Miss Shizuka's house, Mo Congfeng remembered the mansion of the secret family Aburame clan, and agreed with Shizuka's ideas and opinions. Mo Congfeng needed to buy a house with a courtyard!

Knocking on the door of Miss Shizuka's house, Shizuka asked Mo Congfeng, "Is there anything I can help you with? Is it the children's business that needs help?"

Mo Congfeng quickly denied, "I'm here to look for your brother. I need help with some ninja matters. Is he home?"

Miss Shizuka showed a disappointed expression, "My brother usually comes home at night, why don't you bring the children here at night and have a get-together."

Mo Congfeng thought this was a good idea, as the children might need to use Shizuka's courtyard for training in the future, and he wanted to express his gratitude clearly to the owner of the house, so he happily agreed.

At night, Mo Congfeng meditated in his bedroom until the children arrived. Then he led the children to buy some cooked food bags on the street and rushed to Jingxiang's house.

After entering the house, there was a large table in the courtyard, on which was placed a sumptuous meal. Mo Congfeng lifted the cooked food in his hand. Fortunately, it was not too rude, but he bought too little and the variety was a bit monotonous.

In the evening, Mo Congfeng drank a little wine for the first time since he came to the Ninja World. When he was in the Hidden Rain Village, the Hidden Rain Village also provided wine to entertain the Konoha group, but at that time he was a guard, so how could he drink and cause trouble? The wine in the Ninja World was clear in color and looked much better than the wine in the Central Plains, but the taste was a bit bland.

After eating and drinking, Mo Congfeng suggested to talk with Kinoshita Ichiro in private. After all, the affairs of the Anbu need to be kept secret from ordinary people!

Things in the world are like this, there are bright sides that can be made public, and dark sides that cannot be spoken of, and you must always distinguish between occasions and objects! In other words, people like Mo Congfeng have different levels of confidentiality for different people!

For ordinary people in Konoha, ninjas are the light side and the Anbu are the dark side; for ninjas, the Anbu has become the light side, and the Root organization is the new dark side; for the ninjas in the Anbu, as the Root organization's activities become more frequent in the future, the Root organization, which is the first team of the fourth team of the Anbu, will become the light side, and the ten Tiangan teams of the Root organization will be the dark side!

For people of different identities, words should be spoken at different levels of depth, and the things they do will have different consequences, and they will also bear different degrees of responsibility. For example, if the Ten Heavenly Stems Branch of the Root Organization does something bad, the Anbu ninjas will think it is the responsibility of the Root Organization, the ordinary ninjas will think it is the responsibility of the Anbu ninjas, and the ordinary people will think it is the fault of all ninjas. Every ninja has a responsibility that does not belong to him!

Kinoshita led Mo Congfeng into his private room, and the two drank and talked about things. Mo Congfeng first explained his identity as an Anbu and stated his organization!

"Oh, I didn't expect that Mr. Cong Feng joined the Anbu so soon and became a subordinate of Captain Danzo. I thought that Lord Danzo Shimura was willing to join the Anbu directly under the Third Hokage, and would take over the position of captain after Captain Sarutobi died in battle. I didn't expect that he would only become a captain! Mr. Cong Feng, did you come here today to ask me for help with something?" Although Konoha Ichiro had drunk a lot of wine during dinner just now, his eyes were still clear and his speech was still very coherent!

Mo Congfeng stated his purpose, "Our Anbu team is currently short of personnel. We lost two members on the way to escort Shimura Danzo, so we need to replenish our personnel. I would like to ask Senior Kinoshita if he has any suitable ninjas to recommend!"

Kinoshita Ichiro suddenly became interested. "I know a lot of suitable ninjas, but they are all civilian ninjas with the same background as me. Since the outbreak of this ninja war, the Anbu has also lost a lot of manpower. Many ninjas have come to me, hoping to join the Anbu through my recommendation. But the new captain-in-chief is Tora, the former captain of the 12th Squadron. I am not that familiar with him!"

Kinoshita Ichiro sighed, "The new captain, Tora, is more inclined to recruit ninjas from secret families into the Anbu, but this is normal. After all, ninjas from secret families sometimes have stronger strength!"

Mo Congfeng remembered that Danzo Shimura also wanted the ninjas from the secret family to join the Root organization, but the Root organization was in its infancy and it might not be able to compete with the Anbu for these secret ninjas!

So Mo Congfeng asked Kinoshita to recommend these ninjas to him, and explained to Kinoshita, "I can't decide who can join the team immediately. The final choice is in the hands of Danzo-sama!"

Kinoshita Ichiro expressed his understanding, and took out a stack of resume files and handed them to Mo Congfeng, saying a little embarrassedly, "These are the resume files they made in order to enter the Anbu. I have already handed them to the captain for review once, and the captain's reply was that they have no chance!"

Mo Congfeng took over the files and found that there were more than ten, almost twenty copies. These were just the requests received by Kinoshita Ichiro alone. Mo Congfeng deeply felt how fierce the competition for the Anbu positions was.

After a quick look, most of them were special jonin appointed after the end of the war in Rain Country. There were only two or three real jonin. Mo Congfeng promised to go back and think about it carefully and study the ability combination of the team members.

Mo Congfeng was thinking about something else. The civilian ninjas were gradually united, and what they lacked was a truly strong leader. Did the village leaders realize this? What kind of response would they make?

Mo Congfeng was still in deep thought, and noticed that Kinoshita Ichiro seemed to be hesitant to speak. "Is there anything I can help you with? Senior Kinoshita! If you have any advice for me, you can speak freely in front of me!"

Kinoshitarou grinned, "Mo, in fact, you may be stronger than me. Being a jonin is not an obstacle for you. You don't have to call me senior. Besides, you are two or three years older than me! I heard from Shizuka that you are already twenty-six years old, and I am only twenty-three!"

After hearing this, Mo Congfeng carefully looked at the man in front of him. He had an ordinary appearance, dark complexion, and slightly rough skin. Except for his eyebrows and eyes, which were somewhat similar to Shizuka's, with typical sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, he did not look like Shizuka's brother at all! He looked very old, and Mo Congfeng originally mistakenly thought that he was almost the same age as himself!

Kinoshita Ichiro continued, "So it can't be called teaching, it's just some ideas. As far as I know, you are a member of the Hatake team, right? Does Captain Hatake Sakumo know that you have joined the Anbu?"

This is exactly the question Mo Congfeng wanted to avoid, "I'm afraid you don't know yet!"

Kinoshita Ichiro said in a tone of an experienced person, "Mo, you should tell Captain Hatake Sakumo about this matter as soon as possible. I have seen this happen many times! After the ninjas entered the Anbu, many of them had deep feelings for their original team. They tried to take care of both, but the end result was that they could not do well on both ends!"

"Explain the truth as soon as possible and leave the original team. The original team can also complete the replenishment earlier, re-form a good tacit understanding, and re-form combat effectiveness! This will benefit everyone!" Kinoshita Ichiro continued to persuade!

Mo Congfeng understood Kinoshita's advice and decided to go and tell Hatake Sakumo the truth tomorrow! The two chatted for a while, mostly Kinoshita lamented that it was not easy for civilian ninjas, so they should be more united. They also talked a lot about Hatake Sakumo, and it turned out that Hatake Sakumo had become a hero among civilian ninjas!

As they chatted, Kinoshita seemed to have reached a point where he could hold his liquor. "Captain Hatake Sakumo has reached the highest position among civilian ninjas through his hard work. He is the leader of Konoha's jonin squad! Although he already had the assistance of a civilian Hokage, Lord Danzo Shimura was able to reach this point thanks to the trust of the Second and Third Hokage!"

"Hey, it would be great if Captain Hatake Sakumo could become the new Fourth Hokage. Maybe then, it would be the time for us civilian ninjas to turn things around!" Kinoshita Ichiro was obviously a little drunk and started talking about things that he shouldn't talk about normally!

Mo Congfeng wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Kinoshita Ichiro suddenly grabbed Mo Congfeng's hand and said in a serious tone, "Mo, you are a good person. You can tell from those seven children. It is quite stressful for children from ordinary families to study in a ninja school. The expenses for one child are already quite high, let alone seven children!"

Kinoshita Ichiro let go of Mo Congfeng's hand and continued, "Not to mention other expenses, the registration fee for each civilian child to enter the Ninja School is 10,000 taels, and the annual education fee for each child is 5,000 taels! This amount of money is nothing to the Ninja Clan, it's just the cost of one or two barbecue meals, but for civilians, it will make them tighten their belts! And you have seven children, so you'll have to spend half of the gold for an A-level mission all at once!"

Mo Congfeng's head was buzzing. He just filled out a form and didn't pay any registration fee. It seemed that Shizuka had arranged everything!

Kinoshita Ichiro showed a sad look, "When I first came to Konoha with my sister, we lived in an orphanage. The orphanage didn't have any extra money and could only provide us with food and lodging expenses. I worked part-time as a dishwasher in a restaurant and lived frugally to save enough money to study at the Ninja School. In the end, my sister and I both became ninjas and finally changed our destiny!"

"So it's really lucky for the children to meet a kind person like you!" Kinoshita Ichiro hesitated for a while and finally said what he wanted to say embarrassedly, "The children need to be taken care of. In the future, you may not have the time and energy to take care of them in order to carry out your mission. You need a complete family and a wife! Look, how is my sister?"

Mo Congfeng understood what Kinoshitarou meant, and he had the urge to agree immediately. But on the one hand, he remembered his mission, and was worried that he would eventually find a way to leave, which would cause great harm! More importantly, on the other hand, after Mo Congfeng had experienced being alone with Shizuka that day, he had realized that his feelings for Shizuka were mixed with some hidden desires. But Shizuka was not like that. She might just be doing it for the child, and she saw her former self in the child. She might be treating herself like an elder, not the kind of love between men and women!

Mo Congfeng took a deep breath, "I have a good impression of Miss Shizuka. She is very nice and I like her very much. However, this is just wishful thinking of two grown men like us. Whether she wants to live with me is a question. I think she is just interested in the children! You once said that we should respect her. I think you, Mr. Kinoshita, as a brother, should also do so. We cannot use the children to control her feelings and her life!"

Mo Congfeng whispered, "Let things take their natural course!"
