Chapter 1 Qianchuan Lu Ke
The Country of Fire, Konoha Village.
In the commercial street composed of many shops, Ichiraku Ramen Shop has always been the most popular shop, but on the day when the ninja school started, the shop next to it stole its limelight.
Senkawa Blacksmith Shop is a high-priced shop that moved from a residential area six years ago. Its main products are imitation shuriken and imitation kunai. It is famous for its quality, which is slightly inferior to that of regular ninja shops, and its price, which is directly discounted by half.
To put it simply, it is a shop that specializes in selling defective ninja tools.
The ninja tools used by ninjas are very laborious to make, the tolerances and precision are very strict, and the materials used are also very demanding.
Qianchuan Blacksmith changed the product category from "ninja tools" to "exercise equipment" and added the word "imitation" in front of the products. The accuracy requirements and material requirements are no longer so high. While the cost plummeted, the efficiency skyrocketed, giving customers The price has also been reduced.
No one likes cheap stuff.
In particular, the Qianchuan Blacksmith Shop also introduced a series of unprecedented business methods in Konoha Village.
For example, if two people buy together, the price can be reduced; for example, if you help to sell, you can get a price reduction by asking an acquaintance to come and inspect the goods; for example, if you get a full discount, you can waive part of the fee if you meet a certain order.
There is also the most attractive free product. As long as you invite enough relatives and friends to help you negotiate the price, you will have a chance to get a ninja tool for free. It is said that the probability is as high as 99%. Inviting people can also increase the probability!
When these policies were first introduced, Qianchuan Blacksmith Shop was busy, and orders were coming in like snowflakes, so much so that they had to outsource some orders to other blacksmith shops.
Later, after other shops learned the essence, they began to set up their own businesses, gradually taking away the traffic of Qianchuan Blacksmith Shop.
However, relying on the founder's status and previous reputation, Qianchuan Blacksmith's business is still prosperous enough.
On the day when the ninja school started, many people gathered in front of Qianchuan Blacksmith's store to purchase weapons.
Whether you are a kid who has just started to go to ninja school or a quasi-coward who is about to graduate and become a genin, you need shuriken and kunai. The difference is that the former can only take unopened ones, while the latter can choose at will.
Luke held a forging hammer in his hand and was sweating profusely by the fire. At five o'clock in the morning, his father, Chikawa Takumu, pulled him out of the quilt to start the furnace. The two of them hammered in silence and have been working until now.
Mother Chikawa Nayuki and brother Chikawa Hikaru were not idle either. After preparing meals, they have been selling goods at the front desk.
Another hammer hit the red soldering iron hard, and the force of the shock made Luke's mouth numb. It wasn't until he truly experienced it that he understood the three hardships in life: forging iron, punting, and grinding tofu.
Every day I get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog. Whether it is severe cold or scorching heat, I have to work in a sweltering environment.
Only with sufficient temperature can the iron be red-hot and melted. The red-hot iron must be tempered enough within a certain period of time before it can become a usable tool.
When he first followed his father in making shurikens and kunai, because of his weak strength, poor stamina, and immature skills, the finished products he made were disliked in various ways, and he received a lot of reprimands.
The eyesight of ninjas is much better than that of ordinary people. If there is a slight error, they will directly reject the order, and the order will be in vain. If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you will have to pay a smiley face and waive the order.
Later, he brought in a lot of tricks to directly sell defective products so that the ninjas could no longer find faults, and then they lived a more comfortable life.
A crowd of people gathered around the door of the store. It wasn't until the opening ceremony of the ninja school and the Third Hokage's lecture on the Will of Fire was about to begin that a large number of young customers and their parents accompanying them left.
At this time, Luke was finally able to rest for a moment. He wiped the sweat from his face with the sweat towel on his shoulders, took the water bottle handed over by Qiankawa Takumu, and drank big gulps of water.
Qianchuan Takumu spoke in a dull tone to his son, whose face was flushed by the fire.
"Ninja school has started recently, so it's going to be a hard time."
Luke exhaled and nodded to his father, "I understand. I will drive out the remaining goods later."
Qianchuan Takumu glanced at him and shook his head, "Balance work and rest. Don't be too tired. Doing blacksmithing work can't ruin your health."
In the living room, the mother's shout interrupted the conversation between father and son, "Breakfast is ready, come and eat!"
Lu Ke said "Yeah", "There are still too many orders. If we can't deliver the goods by then, those ninjas will lose their temper again."
It's only twice a year, so it's gone.
After all, they are the guardian force and economic pillar of the village. Ninjas still have a very high status in the village, even if they are just genin who have just graduated from school.
Qianchuan Takumu sighed, "Shops in commercial streets will be more competitive, but they can also make more money. If you want to relax, our store doesn't have to be opened here."
Lu Ke didn't say anything. Making money was not his goal. Moving to the Ichiraku Ramen Shop was the real goal.
On the pretext of making money, he persuaded his parents to move from their original location to a commercial street. He also found an excuse to open his shop next to Ichiraku Ramen Shop for safety reasons.
Luke was vague about many details in the original work. He could not guarantee that he would be able to escape smoothly every time he encountered a disaster. He only vaguely remembered that Ichiraku Ramen had not been destroyed in several subsequent storms.
They were not affected by the Kyuubi Rebellion six years ago, but the place they originally lived in was in ruins. If they had not moved away, the family would have been reincarnated for the second time now.
But the disaster in Konoha Village is not just a matter of nine tails, there will still be troubles to come.
"When you have time, go to the Ichiraku Ramen shop more often. Didn't you say that you liked that kid Iris when you were a kid and that you would marry him when you grow up? Why don't you see me walking around more?"
Seeing that he stopped talking, Qianchuan Takumu warned him again.
My son has also reached the age where he can compete with other people's cabbage. He is healthy and good-looking, and has a smart mind. It is time for him to take some action to breed the next generation of Konoha.
Luke:......
Not to mention that he had forgotten that he seemed to have persuaded his parents to open the store here on the pretext that he liked Ilaku's daughter, Iris.
Of course, he really likes Calamus. She has a good-looking figure and a good personality, but he is always thinking about the future plot and has no intention of falling in love.
"Next time, definitely next time."
Lu Ke hesitated and walked to the dining table with his father.
The mother and brother were already sitting in their respective seats, waiting for the two to come over. The younger brother Qianchuan Guang was probably hungry and eagerly watched the two talkative people in the family take their seats.
As the head of the family, Chikawa Takumu looked around and waved his hand, "Let's eat."
"I'm starting." x4
The atmosphere at the dinner table was peaceful, quiet and humble.
Luke had rice balls and sushi stuffed in his mouth. It was not unpalatable, but after having tasted all kinds of delicacies in the foodie empire, he still had no feeling for such bland cuisine.
He couldn't help but think of the food in his hometown.
I really want to eat Mianyang Sanyuan, Hongmiao Crispy Cake, Maozui Braised Chicken, Shahu Salted Egg, Pearl Yuanzi, Steamed Sanyuan, and Mianyang Rice Steamed Pork.
Sighing in his heart, Lu Kexue's hidden memories slowly emerged.
In his previous life, Luke was a pretty pink obstetrician and gynecologist. He originally planned to go directly to his relative's hospital after graduation, but by chance, the hospital at his relative's home closed down just after graduation.
He had no choice but to be picked on like his brothers and sisters in the same batch. After returning to his hometown of Fengning City to find a job, he encountered the classic matryoshka problem.
Interviewer: Our job requires medical experience.
Luke: If you recruit me, I will have medical experience.
Interviewer: How can we recruit you if you have no medical experience?
Lu Ke: If you don’t recruit me, of course I won’t be able to accumulate medical experience.
Interviewer: You need to have medical experience before joining the job.
Lu Ke: Only after I join the company can I accumulate medical experience. Interviewer: Go and gain medical experience before coming back for the interview!
Lu Ke: I’m ******!
In anger, Lu Ke gave up working in the hospital and instead planned to play online games. His goal was to play the recently popular "Kyushu World", but when he saw the price of the gaming helmet, his anger was suppressed by his empty wallet. .
After tossing and turning, he finally decided to rely on his face to make a living, become an Internet celebrity and show off his abs, and do some side projects. If he could be attracted by a rich woman...he would also accept the steel ball!
He finally signed a contract with a company, and a well-known female internet celebrity was willing to take him, but he was unlucky enough to be hit by a car the next day.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in the crib.
There was no moment of mourning for Luke's death. The one who rushed to the scene immediately was the new student Luke who had advanced to the resurrection competition.
When he first learned that this was Konoha, he was overjoyed. He was a person who hadn't finished watching "The Second Dimension Traveling through the Evergreen Zone", but he could almost memorize the plot just by reading the fanfic.
But soon he discovered something was wrong.
His parents are still alive. His father, Chikawa Takumu, and his mother, Hirata Nayuki, are both natives of Konoha. The former is a blacksmith who makes simple ninja tools, and the latter is a part-time worker in a flower shop. After she married, she took her husband's surname of Chikawa, and became A competent housewife.
Both of their surnames are very common and have never appeared in the original novel.
When he knew that he was not an Uchiha or a Hinata, Luke's heart froze. After he searched the entire house in an attempt to find out his parents' hidden identities but failed, his heart was already completely cold.
Still unwilling to give up, Luke once begged his father to find the "Chakra Refining Technique" and practice it for a while.
The control of "Chakra Refining Technique" is not very strict. This thing is not graded like in fantasy immortality novels. Everyone uses the same thing, and the content is pitiful. It is not so much a refining technique, but just a few articles. Things to note.
After taking about half a month to successfully refine a trace of chakra, Luke realized the fact that his talents as a ninja were very poor.
According to the precise description of the blue-striped measurement unit card teacher, he refines chakra for two hours every day in a state of complete energy and spirit, and can reach the level of a genin in five years, a chunin in 12 years, and a peak chunin in forty years.
Jonin? I don't have the ability to understand.
Chakra is a combination of spiritual energy and physical energy. The maximum amount of chakra each person can have has been determined from the moment he is born.
This is just the amount of chakra. A qualified ninja also needs to learn the useless will of fire and useless skills such as disguise, sneaking, assassination, and escape. He must be proficient in ninjutsu and have enough experience against enemies.
Of course, there are also tasks.
After Teacher Ka's description, Lu Ke asked his father with his last hope if his family had made a marriage contract for him.
After getting a negative answer, he gave up completely, took over his father's hammer, and started hammering.
If you can survive Boruto, you will be considered a success!
He kept hammering like this until he reached the age of eighteen and reached this moment.
Probably because of the special nature of today, at the dinner table, my mother asked Chikawa Takumu hesitantly.
"Speaking of which, Xiaoguang is almost 6 years old. Do you want to sign him up next time the ninja school starts?"
The tuition for a ninja school is a large amount of money, and most of those who can attend the school are Konoha's famous nobles, or civilian ninjas who are funded by big families.
There are also exemption policies for some groups of people. For example, for ninjas who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty to complete the village's commission, and for ninjas who died in the Third Ninja War, their descendants can be exempted from tuition fees.
The Qianchuan family didn't have the conditions to go to a ninja school before, but since Luke started playing the different world version of Xixi, they have made a lot of money, and it is more than enough to afford a child to go to a ninja school.
Hearing the topic about himself, Chikawa Hikaru stopped fighting with the ingredients, his eyes showed a bit of hope, and his childish voice was soft, "I...can I go to ninja school?"
Qianchuan Takumo remained silent. For civilians, this was an important decision. He looked at Luke and asked, "What do you think?"
He is an honest and dull person who doesn't understand some twists and turns. His eldest son is already an adult and has a flexible mind, so let's listen to his opinion.
In the past two years, he has felt that he is beyond his capabilities and has begun to consciously transfer the say in the family to his eldest son.
Luke licked his lips and looked like he was thinking.
His sweet-natured brother was also born in the year of the Nine-Tails Rebellion. Naruto was born on October 10th and he was born on May 12th.
According to the timeline, Naruto will enter school in half a year.
Luke felt that it was a bit dangerous to put his younger brother in the same batch of students as Naruto. Even if it was not dangerous, there was no need to become the protagonists of Six Paths at the age of seventeen.
He said after careful consideration, "The income of being a ninja is considerable, but the risks are also high. Xiaoguang is still young, so it is not too late to make a decision a year or two later."
Six is the appropriate age to attend the Ninja Academy, but it doesn't mean you have to be six to attend.
Qianchuan Takumo nodded upon hearing this. This was almost his opinion. Although the status of ninjas was high, the mortality rate was also high.
Although people in Konoha have been indoctrinated by the Will of Fire since childhood and are passionate about becoming ninjas and yearn for selfless dedication to the village, but after experiencing the Nine-Tails Rebellion and watching many people they knew before lose their lives overnight, Chikawa Takumu still has some resistance to his youngest son becoming a ninja.
The two heads of the house agreed, and the mother was too embarrassed to speak anymore, so she nodded and did not mention the matter again.
Seeing the three adults in the family make a decision, Qianchuan Hikaru lowered his head in disappointment. It wasn't until his mother gave him a large piece of meat in his bowl that he regained his composure.
…
After a busy day, Luke lay tiredly on the bed.
Thinking about Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha, how many floors Pain's bag of rice would have to resist, the inevitable Infinite Tsukuyomi, and Otsutsuki's appearance in the subsequent Incombustibles, he felt terrified.
Just moving to an Ichiraku Ramen shop can't avoid the problem, you have to think of other ways...
With physical fatigue and mental anxiety, Luke drifted into sleep.
Half asleep and half awake, he felt that his body became extremely light, and finally floated up, flying to an unknown place.
After passing through an unknown barrier, his consciousness suddenly became particularly clear.
Luke slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a mysterious space filled with light gray fog.
Two figures looked at him through the mist and stretched out their hands to him in unison.
"Welcome aboard, Luke."
"Now, we are gay!"
Someone Lu and someone Du put it together.
Originally I wanted to use the character Jie Ge from the trilogy, but I found that the name Liao Ke really didn’t match the style of painting in the anime.
I played a joke from the same ancestor, and paid tribute.
I really hope that person can write another book about Heaven, if not give it to Roman Eyes, maybe some extras!
