Chapter 93 Drink it

As for other escape techniques, even the five basic escape techniques, the channels for ordinary people to learn them are limited.

As a child, Naruto bought many scrolls from the market to study, and he kept them in his training room.

Unfortunately, they were all just a bunch of shredded scrolls, completely useless.

This is the information barrier and lack of connections faced by ordinary people. Even if they spend money, they can't buy any good ninjutsu; all they get is a mess.

You might occasionally stumble upon something good by trying your luck, but the probability is no different from buying a lottery ticket.

"You're right, this is my first time visiting."

Uchiha Hazuki stood at the door, her brows slightly furrowed.

This Uchiha Kiyoshi is far too impolite.

He seemed lost in thought from the start, staring at her blankly for a long time.

"Please come in."

Kiyoshi slightly turned to the side, gesturing for him to come in.

Uchiha Hazuki stepped into the courtyard, her gaze slowly sweeping over the surroundings.

The lawn in the yard looked like it hadn't been tended to for a while, with a lot of weeds growing on it.

She then thought that perhaps Kiyoshi had recently participated in the Chunin Exams, which was why he had neglected to take care of the garden.

The exterior walls of the house are also weathered, the originally black wood has turned grayish-white, and the tiles on the eaves are covered with a thin layer of dust.

After pushing open the door, the inside was pretty much the same as the outside.

They all look very old and worn.

A hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.

There are just a lot of rolls in here.

There was even a simple bookshelf in the living room, filled with all sorts of scrolls, including many medical books.

This changed Hazuki's perception of Kiyoshi somewhat.

That is being eager to learn.

"Please have a seat, I'll make some tea."

Kiyoshi smiled slightly as he watched Uchiha Hazuki looking around; he wasn't in a hurry.

Sometimes, letting prey relax a bit more helps to tighten their muscles during the moment they are attacked.

Kiyoshi went to the kitchen to make tea.

Now he no longer needs to stand on a stool to make tea; he can do it very easily.

Uchiha Hazuki continued to observe, noticing a subtle slippery feeling on the ground out of the corner of her eye.

A white snake slowly crawled through the gaps in the tatami mat, its movements steady and languid, its snow-white scales reflecting a faint, cool luster in the dim light.

It seemed to sense Ye Yue's gaze, slightly raising its snake head. Its cold snake eyes met hers for a moment, then vanished in a flash, disappearing into the shadows deep within the room.

Uchiha Hazuki knelt before the low table, surprised that Kiyoshi would raise summoning beasts.

Who taught him this C-rank ninjutsu?

Uchiha Hazuki recalled again, guessing it was Yakushi Nonou.

When Kiyoshi first participated in a gathering at Nanka Shrine, Fugaku mentioned this matter.

"The captain of the medical team."

Uchiha Hazuki thought to himself.

I only hope that these ten sets of chainmail will satisfy Kiyoshi's appetite.

A wave of regret washed over her. She shouldn't have treated Kiyoshi that way, and she shouldn't have delayed giving him the ninjutsu a month before taking him to receive it.

Kiyoshi's eye power reacted when he noticed that Uchiha Hazuki was fidgeting outside.

His helpless and regretful expression was quite amusing.

A short while later, Kiyoshi presented a cup of tea to Uchiha Hazuki.

Uchiha Hazuki looked at the teacup.

This cheap teacup, which looks like it was bought from who-knows-where, has some black spots.

I don't know if it's tea stains left from frequent tea brewing, or something else.

Hazuki Uchiha, already troubled by Kiyoshi's matter, was even less in the mood for tea.

She looked up at Qing Si and said:

"These are ten sets of chainmail."

Hazuki Uchiha took out a sealing scroll. "This scroll is for you too."

"Oh dear, I must thank Hazuki-nee for being so generous."

Kiyoshi smiled slightly.

Uchiha Hazuki's subtle actions from the moment she entered did not escape Kiyoshi's notice.

"Since you're being so generous, wouldn't it be alright to give me a few more illusion scrolls?"

"!"

Uchiha Hazuki's eyes widened.

I had expected Kiyoshi to ask for an exorbitant price, but I never imagined he would actually be so unreasonable.

She had studied illusion magic, but that was a qualification she earned by completing many missions.

Kiyoshi did nothing, yet he wants the fruits of her labor?

"Kiyoshi, you've been here for so long, you must know the rules."

Uchiha Hazuki parted her red lips slightly and said.

"Hehe, but Sister Hazuki doesn't know any manners. You look down on this place, don't you?"

"How is that possible, Kiyoshi?"

Kiyoshi's question made Hazuki Uchiha's heart skip a beat, and she quickly denied it.

"If you don't want to come here, why force yourself? Please leave."

Qing Si's tone turned cold, and he gave the order to leave.

The white snake seemed to sense the sudden change in atmosphere, and slowly emerged, coiling around Qing Si's feet, flicking out its red tongue.

"Kiyoshi, I..."

Uchiha Hazuki's fingertips were slightly curled and turned pale, and her palms under her sleeves were already covered with a thin layer of sweat.

"Please leave."

Qing Si spoke calmly and at a steady pace, as if he were genuinely concerned for her.

Uchiha Hazuki looked up at his nonchalant, smug expression, and a surge of impulse rose in her heart.

She wanted to get up immediately and leave without hesitation.

However, her reason firmly kept this impulse in check.

Offending Qing Si in this way is not a wise move.

It's all because of her.

Seeing that Uchiha Hazuki neither left nor spoke, Kiyoshi slowly spoke after a while:

"By the way, Hazuki-nee, I heard you have a really nice male friend named Yamada Taiyu?"

Uchiha Hazuki's heart skipped a beat.

How did Kiyoshi know about this?

She wanted to ask.

Then he realized that this matter wasn't exactly a secret within the clan.

However, the fact that very few Uchiha people intermarried with other ethnic groups has sparked some discussion.

"Intermarriage with outsiders is quite rare among the Uchiha clan... Although the clan doesn't object, it's still uncommon."

Kiyoshi's tone remained unhurried.

If he proves himself in the Chunin Exams, the Uchiha clan will undoubtedly value him even more in the future.

Kiyoshi had thought of this.

Uchiha Hazuki also thought of this.

As expected, Kiyoshi chuckled softly and said slowly:

"I'm confident I'll achieve excellent results in the third round of the Chunin Exams... At that time, Lord Fugaku should value me even more, right?"

"Stop talking, I'll give it to you."

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Hazuki didn't want to argue with Kiyoshi and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Kiyoshi's lips curled up slightly.

His gaze lowered slightly, landing on the teacup on the table. He gently stroked the rim of the porcelain cup with his fingertips, picked it up casually, and took a sip.

The temperature is just right.

Kiyoshi slowly put down his cup, tapped the rim of the cup lightly with his fingers, and looked at Uchiha Hazuki with an ambiguous expression.

"Sister Hazuki, the tea is brewed perfectly, the temperature is just right."

She smiled slightly, pushed the tea she had finished drinking towards him, and said, "Why don't you have a sip, Sister Hazuki?"
