Kiyoshi said, "Mikoto-nee brought me here to get a sword. I also need a better chainmail."
Hazuki was slightly taller than Kiyoshi. After Kiyoshi cornered her, he continued to close in.
At such close range, Kiyoshi could even smell the fragrance on her body.
"I don't need too much, just prepare three sets for me."
Kiyoshi supported himself against the wall, looking up at Hazuki.
Inside his high-collared coat was a simple white undershirt.
After graduating from Ninja school, he was only given basic equipment like headbands, bags, shuriken holsters, gloves, and foot straps.
Storage bad for scrolls have to be prepared by the ninjas themselves.
But when you become a Chunin, you will be given a green ninja vest, which comes with storage bags for six scrolls.
As for chainmail, it is naturally prepared by oneself.
The more expensive it is, the better the quality it is, and it can block a lot of damage.
This is why even in the late stages of Shippuden, everyone still wore a chainmail.
"You…"
Listening to Kiyoshi extorting her, a trace of anger appeared on Hazuki's face.
She stared at Kiyoshi's fairly upright face. She had never imagined that this guy's heart would be so despicable.
As expected of someone from the Land of Lightning!
Hazuki took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
"Five sets."
Before Hazuki could speak, Kiyoshi suddenly spoke again.
"You…didn't you just say three sets?" Hazuki gritted her teeth in anger.
Kiyoshi said, "Is this your sincerity? Being so hesitant and calculating among clansmen?"
Kiyoshi tightly grabbed Hazuki's wrist with strength that Kiyoshi shouldn't have at his age.
He suddenly pinched Hazuki's white and tender wrist until it turned red.
Hazuki coated the skin near her wrist with chakra, and only then did she feel better.
'What great strength!' Hazuki thought to herself.
Clearly, she was taller than Kiyoshi and was looking down at him.
But at this moment, she felt that Kiyoshi was taller and stronger than her.
Moreover, an electric current was constantly coming from her wrist. It kept spreading throughout her body.
The current was very weak. It wasn't enough to cause injury, but wherever it passed, there was a tingling sensation.
This made Hazuki's heart sink again.
Kiyoshi's talent in lightning release chakra nature transformation is also good.
As long as a ninja can turn attribute-less chakra into the appearance of electric current, water flow, rock, whirlwind, etc, it can be called nature transformation.
Neither of them spoke next, only two pairs of Sharingan were looking at each other.
"Hazuki, let's go."
During the stalemate between the two, a voice faintly came from a distance. It was Yamada's voice.
Hazuki's face slightly changed.
She bit her lower lip and said, "Five sets it is!"
She just wanted to be done with it. Then she would have nothing to do with Kiyoshi anymore.
Kiyoshi said, "Hehe, it seems that Hazuki-nee still treats me as an outsider. There is no sincerity at all. If you don't want to give it, then don't."
Kiyoshi let go of his hand, looking regretful, and turned to leave.
"Then how many sets do you want?" Hazuki stopped Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi said, "This depends on whether Hazuki-nee treats me as a clansman or an outsider. I think Fugaku-sama is also very concerned about this issue."
Kiyoshi turned his head, and what caught his eye was Hazuki's tightly furrowed brows.
She seemed to be thinking about how much to give Kiyoshi, looking very tangled.
A heat current was swirling in Kiyoshi's eyes.
Good, that's the tone.
Looking unwilling, but helpless.
However, Kiyoshi didn't stay any longer and left this place.
In the lonely underground passage, only Hazuki was left.
How many sets should she give Kiyoshi?
Ten sets?
That's a considerable expense.
And even if it's sent over, given his speed of changing his mind, it might be too late.
Hazuki secretly groaned in her heart.
It would be great if Kiyoshi was an ordinary brat, but he happened to have such good talent.
Maybe he will be an important figure in the clan in the future.
"Hazuki?"
Yamada walked over, with white plaster still wrapped around his arm.
He had just met Hazuki's fellow clansman and felt that he was a pretty good child.
He didn't have the arrogant attitude that other Uchihas have.
He wanted to know the person's name and planned to ask Hazuki.
But Hazuki was stunned in place, and even after calling her several times, it was as if she hadn't heard anything at all.
"Do you have something on your mind?" Yamada asked.
Hazuki said, "I was just thinking about something and got lost in thought, let's go."
Hazuki came back to her senses and squeezed out a smile.
She took two steps forward, but found that her feet were weak. It was the effect of the electric current just now.
The feeling of weakness in her feet was very weak, and Hazuki didn't pay attention to it.
It was only when she was about to reach the exit that she realized that there seemed to be a sticky feeling on her body.
…
"If you run too far, you'll get lost easily." Mikoto said.
"I know, Mikoto-nee."
Kiyoshi's black eyes reflected Mikoto's movements of tidying up.
Until now, the remaining warmth from the heat current still lingered in his eyes.
In his eyes, the scene was vaguely clearer than before, and he could see Mikoto's pink fingernails buttoning the bag.
His pupil power had increased just now.
If a one-tomoe Sharingan is a cup, then a lot of water has been poured into it just now.
It is estimated that after one or two more times, the cup will be full.
Once the pupil power reaches its limit, the second tomoe will appear, becoming a two-tomoe Sharingan.
The ability of the Sharingan will also be fully amplified.
"Let's go get your sword."
Mikoto didn't think much, and with a slight wave of her slender fingers, she signaled Kiyoshi to follow.
Kiyoshi nodded and quickly stepped forward.
Kurenai is a work in progress, and Samui is still waiting for him to continue to farm.
Hazuki, who had a bad attitude, has now been punished.
She is probably still racking her brains to figure out what to give him so that this matter can be over.
Everything is going well, just waiting for Kiyoshi's next step.
But Kiyoshi was not in a hurry.
His current physical condition is still not quite there. He needs to wait until he grows up a bit.
Kiyoshi didn't plan to do things that would affect his physical development.
Moreover, the beauty of appreciating "culture" lies in witnessing it fall from the top with your own eyes.
(T/N: He basically means downfall or changing from graceful to degenerate.)
The next step is step-by-step corruption.
Only in this way can Kiyoshi be happy.
Beauty in itself is not much appealing. In actuality, the contrast in beauty is much more appealing.
The more beautiful things are, the more dazzling they become when they are polluted.
In short, the good days are yet to come.
In the flickering light of the passage, Kiyoshi's shadow was very winding and distorted, as if a demon was being conceived.
