73 Three Years

When Giyuu walked into the pedestrian street, Uchiha Mikoto had just received the list of new subordinates from the Hokage Building, and unexpectedly saw Giyuu's back as soon as he looked up.

She wanted to say hello and walk home with her youngest son, but then Miqin remembered that this highly entertaining street full of hot springs and casinos was not where Giyuu usually shopped for groceries.

【What is Giyuu here for? 】

The sudden curiosity in her heart drove her to follow without saying a word.

Yi Yong was so focused on the whole journey that he didn't even notice that there was someone behind him.Soon, he walked all the way to the corner of the street and entered a bookstore.

"Could it be to buy a comic book for Sasuke?"

Mikoto raised her brows and made related guesses.

It was already evening, and there were no customers in the shop.

Yiyong suppressed the expectation in his heart, and walked to the counter with a deep expression.He stared at the shop owner who was doing the accounting, and asked in a low voice, "Did you find the book I asked you to find?"

This spies-like posture startled the boss.But he looked up and saw that it was Yiyong, so he didn't seem to be too surprised.

"Why are you so quiet... It makes me sell you something shameful."

The boss muttered a few words angrily, and took out a paper bag from under the counter.

At this time, Uchiha Mikoto just came to the door of the bookstore.

She pretended to take out a real estate magazine from the shelf outside and read it, but her ears were tightly locked on to the movement in the room.

"The books in this series were all out of print a few years ago because they were boycotted by ninjas."

Mikoto raised her eyebrows at the boss's mysterious tone.

She leaned her back against the wall outside the bookstore to hear it more clearly.

Yiyong took the paper bag, and solemnly arranged several books in a row.

The titles of the books are-

"Like a Ninja to See People Accurately - Summary"

"Like a Ninja Accurately Seeing People I: Body Language Insights into the Secrets of People's Heart · Men"

"Like a Ninja Accurately Seeing People II: Body Language Insights into the Secrets of People's Heart · Women"

"Seeing People Accurately Like a Ninja III: 1000 Pictures Teach You to Identify and Analyze Subtle Emotions · Actual Combat"

"Looking at people as accurately as a ninja IV: Why there are differences in emotional expression between men and women"

Yiyong opened the cover and was pleasantly surprised to find that the author of this set of books and the book his mother gave him turned out to be the same person!

The boss looked at Yiyong whose eyes were about to glow, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Don't look at his words of cherishing, in fact, these books cannot be sold in Ninja Village.

This author wrote the book entirely based on his own opinion, but he chose to use the banner of the Ninja Village of the Five Great Nations. In addition, the language style is humorous and interesting, so it is very popular among ordinary people who don't know anything.

On the contrary, no one bought the tomes on interrogation that the ninjas worked so hard to compile, so this set of books soon met with severe resistance.

It was not until his latest work, which was paid a high price by the three generations of Tsuchikage Onogi, that he was allowed to enter Ninja Village for sale.

But to be honest, the latest book three years ago, "Iwanobu Anbe Teacher's Mind Reading Technique", is actually his highest level book.

As for the few books in front of me, they are purely for bluffing.

"How much are these five books?"

Giyuu raised his head and asked.

"Oh, it took me a lot of thought to get these out-of-print books."

The boss knew that it was time to raise the price, so he opened the atlas of "Practical Combat", and scanned the close-ups of the models' heads one by one with his fingers.

"Especially this book, which is full of clear pictures, all the details are clear at a glance. If you look at these close-up close-ups, you can see even a wrinkle on the skin, and the skin's texture when the blood is gushing out. The color change and the blood vessels on the neck can be said to be very detailed..."

Uchiha Mikoto outside the bookstore quickly covered her mouth to stop her subconscious exclamation, her eyes were full of disbelief.

[Could it be that Yiyong bought that kind of book? 】

Wealth, alcohol, and sex are the three taboos of ninjas. If they go too far, it should be normal for ninjas to resist.

Especially for those related to books, there is only the third prohibition.

Mikoto frowned fiercely.

[How old is Yiyong this year!It shouldn't be...]

And the volunteer inside was staring at an image called "Rage" and nodded.

[It turns out that Butterfly Shinobu was angry for the first few minutes every time he spoke to me. 】

The boss seems to be more devoted to righteousness and bravery, and said in a hot tone: "There is also this book, because it exposes many secrets that women do not know, so many female ninjas frantically resisted, and the author himself has been assassinated many times. Gradually, no bookstore dared to sell it, and it was very difficult to deal with. Many male readers searched all over the country and couldn't find a copy.

"But look at you kid, I won't ask you how much you want for this set of books, what do you think of 1000 taels per book?"

The boss's additional speech made Miqin more and more convinced of her doubts.

Her face was as calm as pig iron, but she didn't stop it on the spot. She planned to go back to find some time, and secretly took the book to burn when Yiyong was not at home.

After all, it would be embarrassing to confront such a thing face to face.

To be honest, Uchiha Mikoto originally thought that with her courageous personality, she would never be interested in the opposite sex in this life, and would most likely end up alone and alone.

But now it seems that he is still interested, just in a way that doesn't seem very healthy.

But how could such an honest child like Yiyong come into contact with these things.

Suddenly, Mikoto remembered that more than two years ago, Giyuu stopped Kakashi on the street, wanting him to use Sharingan to release illusions on herself (actually, Giyuu wanted to further confirm Kakashi’s identity through personal experience. Pupil power level).

Combined with Kakashi's style of daring to read sensual novels in public...

[Could it be that kid? 】

As soon as such doubts arose in her mind, she heard Yiyong inside say: "I want these books. Also, last time you said to help me find Jiraiya's books in the warehouse, did you find them? "

"Oh, I'll forget if you don't tell me."

The boss slapped his forehead and took out another book with two to three hundred pages from the counter.

"This is one of the legendary Sannin, Jiraiya-sama's first published work! Although it's a bit obscure, it's really suitable for children of your age to read!"

Uchiha Mikoto finally couldn't bear it anymore!
It's fine if Yiyong is ignorant!

It's understandable for your boss to sell him inappropriate things for money!

But she can't bear to turn black and white, and say that unhealthy books are "suitable for children"!

"Brave!"

Uchiha Mikoto yelled sternly, and entered the bookstore with one hand on her hip.

"Mom?" Yi Yong immediately recognized the owner of the voice, and subconsciously blocked the books on the counter, for fear that the treasure he finally found would be confiscated again.

Unexpectedly, when the bookstore owner heard this, not only was he not embarrassed, but he walked out of the counter enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Oh, this lady is your mother. Then, will you pay for the books?"

"Pay the bill?"

Veins appeared on Uchiha Mikoto's forehead, and she said each word with a pause: "Okay, then go to the security team with me to pay the bill!"

"Eh?"

Although the reputation of the security team has improved a lot recently, it is a place where only those who break the law go, and the boss is suddenly unhappy.

"How do you say that? Although it's a bit expensive, it's because the things are really cherished. If you think it's expensive and you don't want to buy it, I just don't sell it."

"If you cherish things, can you sell such books to children?!"

Uchiha Mikoto laughed angrily at the boss's righteousness. Unlike her usual gentle and virtuous appearance at home, she reprimanded loudly: "The village's regulations prohibit the sale of adult books to the following minors! Not only did you blatantly sell to Him, recommend him the book written by Jiraiya? Tell him! If the guards don’t arrest people like you, who should they arrest!”

"Ah?!" The boss opened his eyes wide and was stunned.

What adult book?Why can't he understand it!

Yiyong, who had been staring blankly at his mother's anger, finally came to his senses at this moment, "Mom, you must have misunderstood."

As he spoke, he took a book called "The Story of Perseverance and Endurance" off the counter and showed his mother the cover.

Just below the title, there are three big characters [Ji Lai Ye].

This was the last time when Yi Yong came to the bookstore, he suddenly remembered the name he had seen in the "RV" with his party in the Land of Rain, so he asked the boss.

However, only this one of Jiraiya's works can be sold to minors, but because the number of publications was too small and could not be sold, all these backlog books were buried deep in the warehouse, and the bookstore owner only recently found them out. .

"..."

Uchiha Mikoto took the book suspiciously, flipped through two pages, and found that it was full of positive energy, her face became redder and redder, while the boss's momentum rose steadily.

"Let me tell you, who do you think I am! I have been running a bookstore here for more than ten years, how could I make such a mistake! It's really unreasonable!"

Miqin, who was already in her 30s, blushed like a fireball. She crossed Yiyong, glanced at the titles of several other books, and suddenly understood!
【Oops!This is a big misunderstanding! 】

"Hug, sorry."

She glanced at the price on the back cover of "Strength, Perseverance and Endurance", and directly took out a 500 tael bill and put it on the counter, then pinched the bewildered Yiyong next to her under her arm, and left as if fleeing, her voice was the same as That bill stays in place together.

"Just this one! Don't want anything else!"

"Hey hey hey-"

The boss shouted quickly, but how could he catch up with a ninja who even wanted to disappear in place, so he could only watch the other party go away helplessly.

But Uchiha Mikoto had to stop not far from the bookstore.

Hinata Hidetsu was leading her daughter to stand in the middle of the street, watching them intently.

Hinata Hinata was holding a paper bag tightly in her hand, which smelled like roasted sweet potatoes. Obviously, she was caught by her father on the spot when she was buying this "indecent food" on the way home from school.

But judging from the expression on her face that she looked at Yoshiyuki in disbelief even though she was blushing——

Just now Uchiha Mikoto yelled loudly in the bookstore, she heard every word, so she was surprised.

It's a pity that Uchiha Mikoto really didn't have the courage to explain something to them here.

The two parents looked at each other, and finally looked away tacitly, pretending that they didn't see each other, and continued on the road.

After walking a certain distance, Hinata Hinata glanced at her daughter who lowered her head like a quail, but never threw away the sweet potato.

Thinking of the troublesome child of Fuyue's family, he suddenly felt that Hinata became more pleasing to the eye, so he said softly, "Let's take the path. But you can't take this thing home."

"Eh?"

Hinata looked up at her father, not understanding what he meant.

"Eat before going home."

Hinata Hyuzu could only say, "Hurry up."

"Okay." Hinata looked at the sweet potato, her face flushed with happiness, nothing could make her happier than eating.

No, there are still.

Taking advantage of her father looking in a good mood, Hinata hurriedly asked: "Father, during the holidays, can I take Huahuo to a classmate's house for tutoring?"

It's rare that her daughter didn't make the request submissively, and Hinata Hizuru felt better.

"Up to three hours a day, and then come back and practice Rouquan!"

"Thank you father!"

"Eat quickly, it's quick to walk on the path—"

"Ahhh."

Hinata hooked the corner of her mouth with her finger, "It's over."

"..."

On the way home, Miqin put Yiyong down in a distraught state.

That is to say, Hinata Hyuzu is a strict mouther, otherwise she would have to hide for another three months.

"Courageous."

With her back facing the setting sun, Miqin squatted down on the bridge of the Konoha River, "Tell mom, what are you going to do with that set of books?"

One of the things she regrets the most in her life is buying that book for Yi Yong.

Two years ago on New Year's Eve, when she and Giyuu went shopping, they ran into Mito Menyan, an elder consultant who was taking care of his grandson.

When Mikoto was chatting with the other party, Giyuu said that Mitomon Yan's smile was too fake, the wrinkles at the end of the eyes were not natural enough, and the muscles at the corners of the mouth were also very stiff.

The second time, the elders of the clan came to the house as guests.Before the other party asked Fuyue to do things, he praised Fuyue as Uchiha's best patriarch in recent years.Of course Fuyue didn't take it seriously, but there was no need to refute it, but He Yiyong went in with a teapot to entertain the guests, and said "You are lying" on the spot, which made the scene very embarrassing.

Before buying that book, it never occurred to Mikoto that Yoshiyuki's biggest problem was not his inability to discern other people's emotions—but even if he could discern them, he didn't know how to respond correctly.

So the "Source of Disaster" was confiscated, and Yiyong was ordered not to expose other people's lies face to face.

It's just that Miqin didn't expect that after more than two years, Yiyong still couldn't forget that book.

Facing his mother's question, Giyong thought for a while, and said slowly, "Because I want to communicate with others."

"Huh?" Miqin was puzzled.

"But don't you have many friends at school?"

This was another situation that baffled her.

"That's different."

Yi Yong shook his head and explained seriously: "It's the kind of communication that can go on forever."

Meiqin blinked her eyes, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on her face: "Then Yiyong told mom that the person you want to keep talking about is a girl?"

"That's right." Giyuu, who can't lie, nodded.

"Oh Huo Huo—"

Mikoto quickly covered her mouth, blocking the involuntary laughter.

"Let's go!"

She patted the back of Yi Yong's head with her hands, "Go home and tell Dad, I can't wait to see what his expression looks like."

Yi Yong looked confused, but he could only follow him home.
