Chapter 379 Saying Goodbye to the Old and Welcoming the New

The last day of Mizuki's first year in the ninja world was a rare sunny day in winter, and the breeze was not as biting as it was some time ago.

The happiest person today may be the ignorant child. It's a rare day where you can let go of playing, and you can hear the crisp and childish laughter everywhere.

Xiaotsubaki, who has not been active recently, is accompanied by Mizuki and walks side by side on the street. Amid the festive atmosphere, all traces of the attack months ago have all but disappeared.

"Xiao Chun, let your avatar stay at home and work, is that okay?"

Throughout the year, you should take a breather! Even Mizuki's avatar came out to breathe. Perhaps in a corner where everyone didn't pay much attention, there was a Mizuki clone wandering around.

"What's the matter?" Xiaochun said disapprovingly, "Isn't it great to be able to go out to get some fresh air and do the housework? After exchanging memories, the avatar will feel my current mood Is it?"

"Ah, that makes sense. That's how avatars are used."

Mizuki couldn't help but nodded, Xiao Chun's words seemed to be careless, but in fact, after thinking about it carefully, it was really the right idea that was very suitable for Xiao Chun.

Isn't the ninja's understanding of the avatar just to help the main body do the work that the avatar has no time to do? How many people will study shadow clones so deeply like Mizuki?

So far, Xiaochun has not learned the technique of restraining breath, and her clone naturally does not know it. The clone that cannot be self-sufficient needs the main body to replenish chakra and exchange memories from time to time. The connection between the two is stronger than that between Mizuki and the clone. Much tighter.

In addition, Xiaochun will not realize that the will of this physical clone can actually betray the main body. Xiaochun's body is not aware of this problem, and the avatar with the same memory and thinking will naturally not be aware of his true potential. No matter how you look at it, the trouble between Mizuki and the avatar does not exist in Xiaochun.

"Is there any question?" Seeing that Mizuki was lost in thought, Xiao Chun couldn't help asking.

Mizuki replied: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about what to eat when I go back today, it's a rare holiday, so it shouldn't be too shabby."

"It's as if it's been shabby!" Xiaochun said dissatisfied.

"No, Xiao Chun is the best to me."

Mizuki was also relieved to see that Xiaochun wasn't bothering about the avatar. It's better not to know some things. Most of the time, troubles come from knowing too much useless knowledge. Just like Xiaochun, when he was ignorant, his troubles were reduced a lot, and on the contrary, he was safer.

At this moment, Mizuki noticed that the flow of people ahead showed signs of gathering.

Anyway, having nothing to do, Mizuki and Xiaochun, who were a little curious, stepped forward and found that a simple stage-like thing had been set up.

"Big appetite competition? I thought there was something new."

Mizuki shook his head in disappointment, entertainment activities in this world are really poor. The most decent thing is that there are movies in this world. With the scientific level of the ninja world, there are even TVs, video recorders, and video tapes. There's just no TV stations, no transmission towers, no antennas, no TV shows, just the occasional crappy tape of a stage play that goes on sale. Moreover, the standard of those movies and stage plays is really too bad, completely unable to attract the slightest interest of Mizuki who has read countless movies.

Other than that, going to the temple fair is a good pleasure, but that's all. Mizuki, who is well-informed, does not want to join in the fun of the fireworks display, which is regarded as a highlight. The two remaining adult pleasures—drinking and gambling—were not what Mizuki wanted at all. So after counting and counting, there is only "eat, eat, eat". Just a "Big Eater" contest? Mizuki couldn't help snorting, it's useless to talk to these ninjas about the truth of not being tired of food, but ramen with a lot of coriander and green onion? How can that crooked way compare to Xiaochun's assorted sushi?

...

After wandering around for a long time, Mizuki and Xiaochun, who had seen enough of the scenery of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, when they returned home, the house had already been tidied up.

"I feel much more comfortable than before. Is it a psychological effect?" 』

The lunch prepared early is also very attractive.

"What are you doing in the afternoon?"

After dinner, Xiaotsubaki and Mizuki couldn't find anything important to do. It was originally a day for family reunion, but unfortunately both of them were orphans and had no relatives. At this time, it seemed particularly deserted.

"It's not good to have a thin family. It won't be like this next year."

In this desert of entertainment that doesn't even have TV programs, naturally there are no vulgar singing and dancing parties to entertain people. Even if it was playing cards, the number of people was a little less, and the two of them collected a set of shogi to pass the time.

To Mizuki's surprise, the weak-looking Tsubaki played chess so domineeringly that he defeated Mizuki in two or three moves. Mizuki with a bitter face once doubted his IQ.

Fortunately, not long after, the three ninjas from the eighth class, Sakura and Xiang Rin visited one after another to relieve their embarrassment.

"Xiao Chun, these flowers don't seem to be from our flower shop!" Mizuki asked looking at the flowers in the vase that were almost full.

"We don't have this variety in our family this season."

"These brats talked nicely, and they didn't take care of the business in the end. Didn't you realize that I'm really struggling now?"

Daily life costs money, it costs money to cultivate an assistant avatar, and it costs money even more to study the curse seal and Chongwu's cell samples. In addition, Xiaochun's salary has decreased, and the family's financial situation has become even more stretched.

Mizuki even unconsciously remembered the reward list he got at the border of Taki Ninja Village.

"Do you want to breed a clone of yourself and pretend to be a bounty hunter to exchange for money?"

This risk-free but fast money-making method made it difficult for Mizuki to refuse the huge benefits.

...

The next day, the couple got up very early. The night before, the two had fallen asleep before midnight. When I saw it on the morning of the first day of the new year, the heavy snow overnight turned the whole village into a vast expanse of whiteness.

"It seems to be extraordinarily cold today!"

The room is still warm, but it seems that it is obviously not suitable for going out.

"Then you can rest for a while, I'm going out for a while."

Some close friends, the Hinata family who have a close relationship, and the three students in Class 8 also want to go to the homes of the three students, let’s call it home visits, and Kaoru’s place, which I haven’t visited since I moved out. Do you want to pay a visit?

It is also quite necessary to confirm the life and mental state of some candidates who may become Renzhuli.
