Chapter 66

In the end, Kazuki agreed to sign a summoning contract with Pakkun.

With Pakkun here, he didn't bother to cultivate new Summoning Beasts.

Sure enough, Kazuki prefers to pick up ready-made things rather than develop them step by step.

Kakashi originally planned to take Pakkun with him on the mission, but it seemed that Pakkun and Kazuki signing a summoning contract made him sad, so he gave up the plan.

"Pakkun, you continue to stay here, I will go back to Konoha."

"Okay, then you can just call me when you need me."

Kakashi nodded and turned to leave without looking back.

The new mission he received was to escort the daimyo of the Land of Waves to Konoha. It would have been best to take Pakkun with him.

After all, in terms of vigilance, even the Uchiha clan with Sharingan may not be sharper than it.

But in this situation…it's pretty good to be alone.

After Kakashi left, the three-person team became idle again.

Every day, one person would follow Tazuna to build the bridge, while the other two would stay near the house to practice or be in a daze.

Sasuke's strength has reached a bottleneck, and it is difficult to improve in a short period of time.

But he still practiced unremittingly.

Kazuki, on the contrary, the stronger he became, the lazier he became.

After all, it has nothing to do with him whether his strength can increase; it's just that Sasuke didn't work hard enough.

This day,

Sakura was responsible for protecting Tazuna, while Sasuke went to practice outside.

The bored Kazuki dozed off alone in the room, staring at the white clouds floating in the sky in a daze.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Lord Kazuki, can I come in?"

The voice was that of a very gentle man.

His name is Inari, and he is Tazuna's grandson.

He has a daughter and a grandson.

The daughter's name is Tsunami, the child of Tazuna and his first wife.

However, Kazuki had never heard her name from Inari or Tsunami, so Kazuki didn't know the name of his first wife.

For this family, it seems that Tazunai's first wife, Tsunami's biological mother is an existence that is difficult to mention.

When Kazuki was walking in the village, he could hear many words of regret for Tazuna's family.

"Come in."

Kazuki's tone was calm, his body did not move, and he remained in a supine position, his eyes still staring at the passing clouds outside.

"Is there anything interesting outside?" Inari asked curiously, seeing Kazuki staring at the skylight.

"It's nothing. I'm just wondering who is freer, the clouds or me? It would be great if I could become a cloud and give it a try."

"Become a cloud?"

Inari murmured, his tone inexplicably a little disappointed, "It would be great if I could become a cloud."

Kazuki looked at Inari with some confusion, as if he didn't expect that this guy who had experienced great storms also had such a pessimistic side.

However, he didn't want to comfort and enlighten him. He didn't have that kind of personality.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Kazuki asked.

Inari regained her energy in an instant, placed a stack of fruits on the table, and said, "I ordered some fruit. I'll come over and give you some."

Kazuki nodded and said calmly, "Thank you."

He left Pakkun to keep Sakura on guard. Without Pakkun sniffing the poison, he wouldn't eat anything from her.

Seeing that Kazuki didn't move, Inari picked up a piece of orange and handed it to Kazuki and said, "Sir, would you like some?"

"No need, just leave it there."

Kazuki maintained an indifferent tone.

Normally, Inari would not do this. If something goes wrong, there must be a reason.

As expected, Inari, who was rejected, hesitated for a moment before speaking out her request.

"Kazuki-sama, I would like to ask you to teach me ninjutsu. Can you?
