Barrier Class
As a Jonin skilled in sealing techniques, Youjin holds a high status in the Ninja Village of Iwa.
During the war, due to the difficult situation on the front line, the leader of the barrier squad was sent to the front line and became primarily responsible for maintaining the village's barrier.
Youjin was under great pressure during this period. The barrier class was an important line of defense for the village, and wartime was when all kinds of monsters and creatures appeared more frequently to cause trouble.
But manpower was particularly scarce during this time.
Half a month ago, Youjin received a notice stating that a student from the ninja school would soon come for an internship and that he should make the necessary arrangements.
Although there was no precedent for this situation, Youjin didn't think much of it. It was probably a student who was about to graduate and would be placed in the barrier class in the future to help him adapt to the work in advance.
He had dealt with many newcomers.
The moment he saw Masumi, Youjin's mind went completely blank.
After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the mission statement, Youjin, mouth agape for a long time, finally asked Masumi, "How old are you?"
Masumi responded, "..."
It wasn't that Masumi didn't want to explain. Firstly, the mission statement came directly from the Tsuchikage, making it impossible for the other party to deny it. Secondly, Masumi's age was true and there was no point in justifying it. Masumi believed he was very mature and didn't want to be treated like a child.
The most important thing was that with his chakra nearly depleted, he couldn't prove his value with a transformation technique.
Fortunately, Youjin was a mature Jonin, and after the initial shock, he accepted the reality. After all, there are many geniuses in the ninja world. Since this was the Tsuchikage's intention, Youjin didn't think Masumi could be treated as an ordinary child.
He stood up and led Masumi to the location where the barrier class operated. As they walked, Youjin reminded himself to treat Masumi like a regular ninja.
Not long after, they arrived at the underground area of the barrier class. What Masumi didn't expect was that although the barrier class looked small from above, the underground area was actually enormous. The place Masumi saw was no smaller than the ninja school.
Masumi examined the layout of various underground areas. Some were data rooms, some were practice areas, some were studios, and there were also restricted areas whose purpose Masumi didn't know.
Youjin handed Masumi over to another middle-aged ninja and asked him to familiarize Masumi with the work of the barrier class. Then, without even introducing Masumi to his superior, Youjin turned and fled, regardless of the other person's stunned look.
Seeing that this man couldn't accept the reality for a while, Masumi took the initiative to speak: "Senior, my name is Masumi. I am still a student at the ninja school."
After hearing Masumi's words, the other person finally reacted and stopped worrying about his age. After all, if Masumi could communicate like an adult, his age didn't matter as much.
The man then smiled at Masumi and said, "My name is Fensi, and I am the team leader responsible for sealing in the barrier class."
After hearing this, Masumi hurriedly said, "Hello, Captain Fensi!"
Interested in assessing Masumi's level and organizing his tasks, the captain decided to ask some questions related to basic sealing knowledge.
Masumi answered each of them quickly, based on the knowledge he had acquired over the years from reading books.
The more Fensi listened, the more surprised he became. His questions grew increasingly difficult, and he began to intersperse some professional and experiential questions. This time, Masumi couldn't answer.
Fensi thought for a moment and said, "It seems you've read many books on sealing. Your basic knowledge is very good, which can save a lot of study time."
He continued, "So, we'll do some exercises. It's time to begin."
"You're still in class right now. Once classes start tomorrow, you'll be on duty in the reference room. Your job will be to assist others in finding information when needed. Make good use of your free time to read some professional books."
He listed a few books for Masumi and escorted him to the reference room, introducing him to the ninja on duty there.
After finishing, he suddenly remembered something. He looked at Masumi closely and noticed that his physique wasn't excellent, so he asked, "Masumi, how much chakra do you have?"
Masumi quickly responded, "It's just enough to perform one of the three-body techniques. The chakra amount was just used up today, and now the chakra has reached the bottom."
At first, Fensi frowned upon hearing that Masumi's chakra amount was only enough for one three-body technique, and then upon hearing that Masumi could transform, he was slightly surprised again.
The amount of chakra is an important condition for measuring a ninja's quality, and a ninja with excellent chakra control can save a lot of chakra while performing ninjutsu and other aspects.
Masumi's chakra amount can be used to perform transformation techniques, showing that he has high control. He can use one chakra as if it were two chakras and compensate for his deficiencies.
Thinking this through, Fensi stopped worrying about anything else and told Masumi to come directly to take over after school tomorrow, then sent Masumi home.
On the way home, Masumi was a bit excited. He was very pleased with this job. Not only did he manage to solve his financial difficulties, but he also learned real skills.
May I ask why the protagonist of the novel reached the peak of life? One is talent and the other is master.
Naruto's teachers include Kakashi, Jiraiya, the two Sage Toads, Kirabi, Kyuubi, and the Six Paths of Wisdom. Each gave a great boost to Naruto.
Although Fensi is not his teacher and his level is not as good as the great masters above, he possesses certain sealing technique skills, so he can definitely help him a lot.
The next day, Masumi came directly to the border class after school. After passing on to the people before him, he began to familiarize himself with the working environment of his new job.
The reference room is very large, with dozens of bookshelves inside, each containing hundreds of scrolls. The largest number of them are various sealing techniques learned by the elders, representing 80%.
Books on various basic knowledge also accounted for 10%. A considerable portion of these were books that Masumi had been exposed to in ninja school, but most of them were books that were not included in school.
The remaining 10% are complete sealing techniques or research and speculation on various sealing techniques from other countries.
It turns out that these scrolls were sealed with advanced seals and require special gestures to open them.
If you touch them hastily, it will trigger an alarm.
The first 90% of the books can be checked out and taken out of the reference room, but a certain contribution value is required to withdraw them. Of course, this contribution value is not high.
And if you just watch in the information room, it's free.
An important job for Masumi is transcribing for those who spend their contribution points on material exchange. In this process, Masumi can also receive a small contribution.
By copying a general information copy, Masumi can get 2 contribution points, and whoever redeems it must pay 10 contribution points, of which 5 points will be registered on the author's head, and the remaining 3 points will be considered as the village's redemption.
The village also uses this method to encourage everyone to share their experiences, so Masumi can see the diverse experience and experience representing 80% of the total
It turns out Masumi calculated based on the exchange rate. It takes 1,000 points to exchange for a general C-rank ninjutsu and 50,000 points for a B-rank ninjutsu. There are also other merit requirements. Therefore, if Masumi wants to learn ninjutsu, he will need to copy at least 500 books.
Furthermore, contribution points can be exchanged for currency, and the currency in each country of the Ninja World is unified.
In the Iwa Ninja Village, if you exchange your contribution for currency, 1 point can be exchanged for 10 taels, but if you exchange currency for contribution, 100 taels can be exchanged for 1 point.
This is also an important way for the village to encourage ninjas to take the initiative to perform tasks.
If you don't consider training, Masumi's expenses for three meals a day are about 500 taels. Considering other expenses, it amounts to about 25,000 taels per month.
Currently, this expense is supported by the village. Additionally, the village also gives Masumi a monthly pension of 100,000 taels for six years, which is exactly the number of years to study in the ninja school.
If Masumi couldn't become a ninja, then the money would be enough for him to grow up safely, and the village would be worthy of the ninja who died in the war.
But Masumi spent all that money on training and basically used it all up during the month.
The most embarrassing thing is that as his body gets stronger and the intensity of training becomes more intense, this pension starts to fall short.
To maintain training intensity and continually increase his strength, Masumi could only go out to work and subsidize training expenses.
Fensi had taught Masumi before. Usually, newcomers entering the border class start in the management information room.
This position has the lowest salary, only 50,000 taels per month and one C-rank task per month.
It's a pity that Masumi is not a ninja. Onoki mentioned this when arranging a job for him. He can only receive a salary and cannot register tasks. In other words, Masumi can earn a fixed income of 50,000 taels per month.
Masumi was not dissatisfied. Getting this job was the result of Onoki's extra care, which was considered an investment in Masumi's talent.
Since then, Masumi has spent six hours every day working in the barrier class after school.
In order to do so, Masumi also canceled nighttime physical training and increased the intensity of training in morning exercises and practical classes.
Thanks to the fact that practical classes are now much longer than before, various physical training sessions have not been postponed. With the salary subsidy, Masumi increased the supply of food and medicinal materials.
Although my routine has changed, my busy and rewarding life has not changed.
On the contrary, as training intensity increased, it also aroused some suspicions among classmates. They didn't know what prompted Masumi to suddenly train so much.
Shinohara deliberately tested Masumi through sarcasm, but this kind of concern was directly and ruthlessly blocked by Masumi, leaving him extremely irritated.
Eri also implicitly said that if she needed money, she could borrow some money from Masumi. Masumi expressed his gratitude without accepting the kindness or deliberately explaining it.
What was also surprising to Masumi was that even some classmates he didn't get along with often tried to persuade him, one after another.
For example, Taniya came to teach Taijutsu to Masumi on behalf of a competition. Masumi was surprised by this but also appreciated the opportunity. Such training experience from a Taijutsu family is rare.
In addition, Igura and Misaki also came to talk to Masumi about their experiences with Ninjutsu.
Classmates suddenly acted like this. Masumi was a little confused and a little touched.
Originally, I had a relatively quiet personality, and my relationship with my classmates was actually very average. He returned to focusing on training, but he became closer to Shinohara and Eri.
I didn't expect to have so many bonds with everyone, even without realizing it.
This left Masumi a little lost. He was a bit panicked. The ninja world was a cruel world with a high mortality rate.
Originally, I thought reducing contact would also reduce pain, but before I knew it, an invisible bond had already formed.
