Chapter 34: Good People Don't Live Long
"Really? Sister Kurenai, how's your cooking skills? It's not the first time you're cooking, is it?"
Ryosuke expressed his doubts about a Konoha Ninja's cooking skills.
After all, these female ninjas are performing tasks all day long, how can they have the time to practice cooking?
So, most of them should not be very good at cooking.
But married women are an exception. Most female ninjas have time to practice their cooking skills after they get married.
"What? Worried about my cooking skills?"
Kurenai smiled and tapped Ryosuke's head with her finger, then handed him a small bag to carry.
"Let's go, I'll show you sister's cooking skills."
"Okay, then I'll give it my all."
Ryosuke looked ready to die generously. This directly made Kurenai laugh.
Kurenai's residence is in the northern part of Konoha Village.
Most of the ninja clans are located here. This place is close to the center of Konoha, so the location is very good.
Although the Yuhi clan is currently in decline, compared with the Hatake clan, the area where they live is indeed much better than that of the Hatake clan.
But, Kurenai's home is not big, it's just a small two-story building. There are front and back yards.
It is about the size of Ryosuke's house but the location is much better.
"Is this the home of Sister Kurenai?"
Ryosuke was still eyeing the surrounding curiously when he walked through the door.
"Come in, there are no children's shoes at home, so you can wear mine."
Kurenai handed over a pair of white plush slippers.
The shoes were small and not big. However, they still looked a bit big for the ten-year-old Ryosuke.
Stepping on these slippers, Ryosuke followed Kurenai into the living room of her house.
The layout of the living room is very simple, with a warm table, a TV, and a sideboard with some photos, water glasses and the like.
Ryosuke saw that one of the photos was of a stern-faced uncle with a teenage Kurenai.
He guessed that this person was Kurenai's father.
Most ninjas are short-lived.
Those who can live long are either scourges or special dogs.
And Konoha's Third Hokage, Shimura Danzō, and the elders are both.
So they have lived for a very long time.
Especially the two older guys, Koharu and Homura.
They have lived even longer than Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō.
They will even directly live from the period of Naruto to the period of Boruto.
They are never on the battlefield, and are never directly involved in combat.
If there is danger, they hide in the base camp.
Look at their ability.
How many people in the ninja world can compare to them?
Even someone as strong as the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, whose strength is close to the Six Paths level died at a young age.
So in the ninja world, those who are stronger may not necessarily live longer.
Even those who are weak can live a long life as long as they find the right method.
"That's my father."
"He died when I was a teenager."
At this time, Kurenai walked behind Ryosuke who was looking at the photo.
The voice and smile of her father when he was alive also appeared in her mind.
"Sister Kurenai, don't be sad. If Uncle could see you from the Pure Land, he would definitely wish you a happy life."
Ryosuke grabbed Kurenai's little hand and comforted her.
Yuhi Shinku died in the Nine Tails Rebellion.
That is ten years ago.
At that time, Kurenai was 17 years old and a Chūnin.
The Nine Tails Rebellion killed many Konoha ninjas. Most of them were civilian ninjas, and small branch house ninjas.
Yuhi Shinku was one of the few Elite Jōnin who died in that battle.
After the general strength reaches the level of an Elite Jōnin, the probability of a ninja dying will plummet, because an Elite Jōnin's life-saving ability is much stronger than Jōnin and Chunin or Genin.
They all basically have a very strong trump card such as Kakashi's Raikiri.
Yuhi Shinku can be rated as an Elite Jōnin, so he naturally had outstanding abilities.
But the Yuhi clan is a clan which is good at genjutsu.
But the enemy he faced back then was Nine Tails who was controlled by Obito with the Mangekyō.
His genjutsu was completely useless.
Before he could use all his skills, he was affected by the large-scale attack of Nine Tails, and finally died due to serious injuries.
...
"Actually, I have lived a pretty good life these years. If my father really looked at me from the Pure Land, I think he would be very pleased." Kurenai suddenly said with a smile.
"Also, I'm currently preparing to rank up to an official Jōnin, and my father will be proud of me when I become an official Jōnin."
"Sister Kurenai will definitely be able to do it." Ryosuke raised his head and said.
"Then thank you little Ryosuke for your kind words."
Kurenai rubbed Ryosuke's face with a smile, then smiled and let him sit casually, while she turned around and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Ryosuke sat in the living room for a while and then ran to the kitchen.
"Sister Kurenai, I'll help you!"
"I didn't expect our little Ryosuke to be a little gentleman."
Kurenai turned her head and said with a smile, "Well, does little Ryosuke know how to chop vegetables?"
"I have practiced swordsmanship."
Ryosuke said as he ran over and picked up a kitchen knife and gestured with his hand.
In fact, he hasn't practiced swordsmanship at all.
The most he has done is seeing the scroll of swordsmanship left by his father and making a few comparisons by himself.
Kurenai is also a Jōnin, and she also has a friend named Uzuki Yugao, who is good at swordsmanship, so she also has a certain ability to distinguish the swordsmanship level of others.
She could tell at a glance that Ryosuke hadn't learned any swordsmanship at all, and was just pretending.
"Then little Ryosuke, please cut up these vegetables."
Kurenai smiled and put some vegetables aside.
"No problem, just watch me."
It's just chopping vegetables, so it's not hard for Ryosuke.
Although he can't cook, he can cut perfectly fine.
