Chương 44: Chapter 44
It's a new day, and Kazuki is preparing to go to the training ground to meet the rest of Team 7.
Yugao found him first.
"This mission took so long?"
"Well, there is a rather troublesome task."
Yugao nodded, looked at Kazuki, and asked, "Do you have any tasks today?"
"No, it's just a daily gathering," Kazuki replied.
In addition to gathering for daily tasks, each team also gathers for daily practice training. But this is not mandatory. If you have something to do, you don't have to go.
"Then come with me for a walk today?" Yugao suggested.
"Okay, then I'll ask a shadow clone to go to the training ground and talk to Kakashi."
"Um."
Kazuki transformed into a shadow clone and asked it to deliver the message.
Watching the silhouette of the shadow clone running away, Kazuki wanted a Summoning Beast even more now!
There are Summoning Beast that can test poisons, run errands for you, and resist damage!
Kill three birds with one stone!
However, it is not easy to find a Summoning Beast that combines all three.
Well, maybe find a few more. One to test poison, one to run errands, and one to resist damage!
"What's wrong?" Uzuki asked when she saw Kazuki's contemplative behavior.
"It's nothing. I just wish I had a Summoning Beast, so I wouldn't have to waste chakra creating shadow clones to convey information."
"Also, each shadow clone takes away half of your own chakra. If it's not during a mission, it's fine. But if it's during a mission, losing half of your chakra at once will greatly weaken your combat effectiveness!"
Yugao agreed with Kazuki's idea.
In fact, if she hadn't been unable to find a suitable Summoning Beast, she would have wanted to raise one herself.
"I remember that the Hatake clan has a special method for cultivating Summoning Beast. Maybe you can learn from Kakashi," Yugao suddenly thought of something and said.
"I want to learn, but he may not teach me," Kazuki smiled slightly.
What distinguishes Summoning Beast from ordinary beasts is their spiritual intelligence. Similar to the spiritual beasts in the fantasy world, these Summoning Beast have greater strength and smarter brains than ordinary beasts.
Some can even talk!
This is a reference to Kakashi's Summoning Beast, Pakkun.
He had considered asking Kakashi for advice on how to cultivate Summoning Beast, but he had not yet had time to ask.
And judging from the quality of Kakashi's Summoning Beast, it may be difficult to meet Kazuki's expectations for Summoning Beast.
"Well… there are several families in Konoha who cultivate Summoning Beast, but they generally don't teach others how to cultivate them," Yūgao said, referring to the Inuzuka clan, the Aburame clan, etc.
In addition to these Summoning Beast families, there are many ninjas in Konoha who have the means to cultivate Summoning Beast. Like the monkeys of the Sarutobi clan, the turtles of Might Guy, etc.
If Kazuki wants to get a Summoning Beast, he can only choose from these people.
"I'll ask Kakashi later. By the way, did you come to me today for a challenge?"
"Well, although I believe that no one in the younger generation of the Gekko clan is your match, others may not believe it. So you still need to take a trip," Yugao's cheeks were slightly red as she nodded.
"It's okay, it's not a troublesome thing. Besides, if I can marry such a good wife like you, I'm willing to face a hundred challenges again!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you succeed in the challenge, we are only officially engaged. We have to wait until you are eighteen to get married!" Yugao's face turned even redder.
Although she is older, when facing Kazuki, she always feels out of place, like a little girl.
Maybe this is the pressure that strength brings to Yugao. If a man is stronger than you, no matter how old he is, admiration will follow.
Moreover, although Kazuki is much younger than her, he does not look young at all. Not only was his height no shorter than her own, he was even a little taller. When the two stand together, no one can tell who is older and who is younger.
"Eighteen is such a long time."
"It's only a few years. I will wait for you!"
Yugao's face was serious, and Kazuki couldn't help but be captivated by that beautiful face.
After a long time, he recovered and said with a smile: "Okay!"
…
The next day,
Wearing white clothes and with a sword at his waist, Kazuki came to the Uzuki clan alone.
When he arrived at the gate, he was stopped by the guard.
"Stop, who are you?"
"Kazuki of the Gekko Clan!"
"Kazuki of the Gekko Clan… are you Sister Yugao's fiancé?!"
"You know me?"
"Who among the younger generation of the Uzuki clan doesn't know that you're the guy who stole our clan's beauty!" The man gritted his teeth, seeming to hold a deep grudge against Kazuki.
"Haha… I'm here for a challenge today. Can you let me in?"
"Snort!"
The guard snorted and stepped aside, saying to him: "Go straight along this road to the training ground of our Uzuki clan. The clan leader and others are already waiting for you there."
"Thanks."
Kazuki smiled slightly, trying to be friendly.
After all, he is here to win a wife, not to cause trouble.
Moreover, Kazuki could understand the attitude of the young guard. In this world, intermarriage is not opposed. As long as they are not siblings, no one objects. Bloodline is very important to many families, just like the Uchiha and Hyuga clans. Too much intermarriage dilutes their family bloodlines, making it difficult for their children to inherit the family's special abilities.
Along the way, there was no one. It seemed the Uzuki clan had prepared for today.
After a while, Kazuki finally arrived at the training ground.
Dozens of people looked at him, making him feel a bit of pressure.
"Hi…Hi?"
"…"
"Is this Yūgao's fiancé? Why does he look so foolish?"
"Didn't they say he's sixteen years old? Why doesn't he look that young?"
"But judging from his appearance, he is quite handsome and worthy of Sister Yūgao!"
"What's the point of being handsome? You need strength to survive! If he can't beat us, he won't be taking our Sister Yūgao away!"
"Stop talking, the clan leader is coming."
The clan members were talking a lot, but the clan leader of the Uoyuki clan walked towards Kazuki with a few clan elders.
"Kazuki of the Gekko Clan?"
"It's me. I've met the leader of the Uzuki clan."
"Hahaha… He is indeed the strongest genius in the Gekko Clan for a thousand years. He looks extraordinary."
"A thousand years?" Kazuki looked confused. Has the Gekko Clan been around for that long?
"Himan is so old, hahahahaha!"
"…"
That old Himan can really talk!
"But although that old guy Himan is exaggerating, I still believe in Yūgao. I trust Yūgao's judgment!"
Kazuki was secretly pleased to hear Uzuki say good things about him in front of their clan leader.
"I believe too."
"…Hahahahahahaha, good, good, youth is so interesting.
I won't say any more. The arena is ready. Let's start the challenge!"
"Good!"
