I don't have to pay the 2000 taels tuition fee myself, there are many people who can pay for it.
Taking the only 2000 taels left in the house, Kazuma Kobayakawa hurried to visit Hoshigaki Kisame and handed the money to Hoshigaki Kisame.
Hoshigaki Kisame kept his promise and immediately taught Kobayakawa Ichishin the ninjutsu. This water escape technique, the cloud transformation technique, was developed by a senior ninja in the early years to alleviate the drought problem. Although it has no offensive power, it is very good for watering the land due to its gentle temperament. Learning this ninjutsu can increase the speed of watering the land by more than three times.
More importantly, compared to other water jutsu techniques whose learning difficulty is often B-level, the difficulty of the Cloud Making Technique is only D-level, which is considered the simplest water jutsu.
In the room, the huge body of Hoshigaki Kisame stood aside, making seals with his hands and demonstrating to Kobayakawa Kazuma.
"Water Style: Cloud Transformation Technique requires five seals. If you are skilled enough, you can perform this technique with three seals, namely, Ugly, Si, Wei, Zi, and Ugly. After feeling the water vapor in the chest, combine it with the chakra.

This Water Style. Cloud Transformation Technique can also become the Mist Hiding Technique. As long as the amount of chakra is controlled well, the Mist Hiding Technique can be performed, which will be helpful even in war."
Water escape technique. Cloud transformation technique!
Hoshigaki Kisame exhaled a breath of mist, which condensed into a dark cloud more than ten meters in the sky, and then rain fell. This is the Water Style - Cloud Transformation Technique.
Kazuma Kobayakawa memorized the seal method and tried to release it like Hoshigaki Kisame, but failed several times.
After returning home, Kobayakawa Kazuma still tried to use Water Style: Cloud Transformation Technique. After a week of practice, he was finally able to perform this ninjutsu. However, due to his poor chakra control level, the use of a D-level ninjutsu would almost consume half of his own chakra.
"Water Style: Cloud Transformation Technique!" Kobayakawa Kazuma opened his mouth and spit out mist, followed by raindrops falling. After a week of training, the Water Style: Cloud Transformation Technique finally reached 2% of its completion. Although he cannot use it skillfully yet, it has already taken shape.
Mei Terumi saw all the efforts made by Kazuma Kobayakawa. This distant cousin didn't have much talent, but in terms of hard work, he was not inferior to anyone.
In order to revive the Terumi clan, she has to endure tremendous pain to give birth to offspring.
"A family is a collection of people, not some external things like secret inheritance or treasure. Blood is what binds us together."
Whenever she thought of what Kazuma Kobayakawa said, Mei Terumi felt a warm current surge in her heart, and she couldn't help but be moved by the determination.
After practicing day after day, two months later, Kazuma Kobayakawa finally improved the completion rate of Water Style: Cloud Creation Technique to 5%. Now, if he goes all out, he can perform the Cloud Creation Technique 10 times a day, and the range is enough to cover 20 acres of fields.
Soon the day for the irrigation task to begin arrived, and after instructing Mei Terumi to take good care of Misato, Kazuma Kobayakawa set off for the outskirts of the Hidden Mist Village.
Chapter 3 Meeting the Crystal Ninja
The Hidden Mist Village is built on a high mountain. Although it is surrounded by the sea, there is actually a lack of rain in spring due to the monsoon. Also, due to the terrain, it is difficult to draw spring water from the mountain to irrigate the land, and it can only be done artificially.
This also resulted in the Hidden Mist Village organizing a group of Genin to carry out irrigation tasks every spring, and they would receive a reward of 50 taels for irrigating one acre of land.
The jonin leading the team this time is none other than Hoshigaki Kisame, and he is followed by 30 genin. For the Hidden Mist Village in the midst of war, this team is already quite luxurious.
The farmlands outside the village were uneven like ladders, and cracked due to dryness. Kazuma Kobayakawa came to the farmlands, took a deep breath, and then exhaled.
Water escape technique. Cloud transformation technique!
A huge dark cloud appeared in the sky, and then a drizzle of rain fell, almost covering an area of two or three acres of farmland.
Hoshigaki Kisame saw all of this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing his uneven teeth.
"He can use the Cloud Transformation Technique to cover two acres of land at a time. Kobayakawa Kazuma already has a chakra amount that is no less than that of a Chunin. Moreover, he can master the Cloud Transformation Technique in such a short time. His qualifications as a ninja are not bad. He really makes me see a rough diamond among the Genin."
After a day of hard work, Kazuma Kobayakawa irrigated 23 acres of farmland, and the villagers treated him to dinner.
The family where Kazuma Kobayakawa ate for free consisted of two people, a woman with a 16-year-old girl. The girl's body was almost mature, and because she often did farm work, her skin was a healthy wheat color, and there were rough calluses on her palms.
A pair of smooth calves are stretched straight, and at the age of budding, there is a charm unique to this age.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Ninja." The woman brought dinner, which was a pot of rice soup. The rice grains in it were a little sparse, but it was enough to fill the stomach.
There is no way. The Hidden Mist Village is in constant war. For ordinary villagers, eating like this is already acceptable.
Yizhen was drinking rice soup to fill his stomach when suddenly, a girl ran out of the room with a small piece of crystal in her hand. The crystal was still growing and wrapped around a ladybug.
"Mom, look!" The girl had a bright smile on her face and held the crystal to show her masterpiece to Yizhen and her mother.
Yizhen and the woman's pupils shrank. The child might not understand anything, but for Yizhen, this was explosive news. That ninjutsu was undoubtedly not a ninjutsu of any basic nature change, and could only be explained by blood limit.
When he opened the system, Yizhen saw the girl's message.
Name: Komori Yuu
Ninja Qualification: E
Beauty: C
Blood Succession Limit: Crystal Escape
After knowing the girl's situation, Kobayakawa Kazuma was faced with a choice. If he reported Komori Yu's situation to the village, he would get a considerable commission, about two billion. But once he reported it, it would mean the other party's death.
"Where did You-chan pick up this handicraft? It's very beautiful." Kazuma Kobayakawa touched Komori You's head. Two is indeed a lot for a Genin, but there is no need to offend a ninja with a bloodline limit just for some commissions.
He himself is a relative of the Terumi clan, and he knows very well what kind of persecution ninjas with bloodline limits will suffer.
"Yes, it's a beautiful work of art." The woman squeezed out a strange smile from her frightened face and shouted to Xiaosen You: "Okay, go back quickly and don't cause trouble for the ninja master."
Immediately afterwards, Kazuma Kobayakawa heard the woman scolding her daughter. Although the voice was not loud, it did not escape the ninja's ears.
After dinner, Kobayakawa Kazuma went to bed early, and early the next morning, he continued to irrigate the land using the cloud transformation technique.
The task of watering the land has a limited time of only half a month, and this half month is the best time to sow spring wheat. Watering at this time can significantly increase crop yields and reduce the risk of insect plagues.
Water escape technique. Cloud transformation technique!
Kobayakawa Kazuma worked hard to water the plants, and would not stop to rest until most of the chakra was used up. When the chakra had recovered to a certain extent, he would start to perform the Cloud Transformation Technique again.
After such high-intensity training, a week later, his cloud transformation technique made new progress, with the completion rate increasing from 5% to 6%, and the irrigation efficiency increased to a certain extent.
Two weeks passed in a flash, and Kobayakawa Kazuma irrigated a total of 447 acres of land and received a bounty of two taels. For an ordinary Genin, these two taels were almost equivalent to the income of half a year.
For the Genin, the annual irrigation task is almost the best task of the year. It does not require risking one's life, and one can also earn a lot of money.
Of course, for ordinary ninjas, being able to irrigate 15 acres of land within 100 days can be considered an effort. Only ninjas like Kazuma Kobayakawa who are proficient in water-style ninjutsu can quickly irrigate a large amount of farmland and earn high commissions.
In the mission settlement room, Hoshigaki Kisame sat aside and asked, "Kobayakawa Kazuma, I think you have the potential to become a Chunin. What do you think? Do you want to work for me? I can guarantee that you will earn this much every month."
Kobayakawa Ichima hesitated for a moment. An income of 20,000 ryo a month was a pretty good sum for a Chunin. With this money, he could afford to marry a few more wives and have a few more children.
Even in a place like Blood Mist Village where there have been years of war and political darkness, 20,000 ryo is enough to live a good life.
However, Kazuma Kobayakawa still shook his head and rejected Hoshigaki Kisame's invitation.
In the original Naruto, Hoshigaki Kisame's boss is Watermelon Mountain Pig Demon, a ruthless character who is willing to sacrifice his subordinates at any time for the sake of the mission. It is never a good idea to work under such a person.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not capable enough to meet your expectations."
Kobayakawa Kazuma expressed his concerns, and Hoshigaki Kisame did not force him and let him leave.
Nowadays, the situation in the Hidden Mist Village is not so clear. It is true that the Fourth Mizukage Yagura's methods are bloody and cruel, but those ninja families with bloodline limits are still accumulating strength in secret, and assassinations of Mizukage occur from time to time.
The mission that Hoshigaki Kisame is doing is indeed quite dangerous.
Chapter 4 Emergency Recruitment
After returning home, Mei Terumi immediately came out of the room. She was wearing a cooking apron and ran to greet Kazuma Kobayakawa like a housewife.
"Welcome back, Brother Kazuma." Mei Terumi took over Kazuma Kobayakawa's ninja jacket and forehead protector, just like a real Yamato Nadeshiko.
Kazuma Kobayakawa changed his shoes and walked into the room. He handed 5000 taels to Mei Terumi to manage in order to ensure the future life of the two.
Among them, Kazuma Kobayakawa planned to use 15,000 taels to marry Misato. Now that he has a child, it is a father's duty to be responsible for the child.
After buying another fish, Kazuma Kobayakawa visited the Hiranaka family.
Uncle Hiranaka was sitting by the stove in the room. He was still thin, but much better than a month ago. Misato was holding her one-month-old baby in her arms, looking at Kobayakawa Kazuma with expectation.
Kobayakawa Kazuma put the fish down, sat opposite Uncle Hiranaka, and said, "I am here to marry Misato. I cannot guarantee that I will be devoted to her, but I can guarantee that she will live a better life with me."
"Fifteen thousand taels, are you ready?" Uncle Hiranaka didn't say anything harsh after all. After all, over the past year, Kazuma Kobayakawa had taken good care of him and Misato. If it weren't for him, he and Misato might have starved to death in the cold winter.
Even though he hated Yagura's minions, there was nothing he could do in order to survive.
"Get ready. This 15,000 taels is the price for me to propose to Misato. From now on, she is my wife." Kazuma Kobayakawa took out a stack of money and placed it on the table.
Uncle Hiranaka looked at Kazuma Kobayakawa, then at Misato, and finally sighed.
If it were in peacetime, the income of a Genin would not be considered high at all, and would not even be much better than that of a small vendor. But in wartime, a Genin could support a whole family, while a small vendor would have no business at all.
"Misato is my precious daughter, I hope you treat her well." Uncle Hiranaka was relieved. He knew that a philandering Genin would be much stronger than himself.
Kazuma Kobayakawa didn't stay for long. He talked to Misato for a few words and then went home to prepare for the wedding.
The wedding in the Land of Water was relatively simple. Kazuma Kobayakawa took Misato to the shrine to pray for blessings, and they got married under the witness of the gods, adding two more members to the family.
With two more people added to the family, the pressure of life began to increase, and the average daily expenditure could reach 200 taels.
Fortunately, after Kobayakawa Kazuma improved his ninja qualifications, his ability to complete tasks also increased, so he was still able to barely maintain his expenses.
There is no doubt that in these troubled times, the identity of a ninja is still very popular. Even if you are just a Genin, it will not be a problem to survive.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed. Kobayakawa Ichimune's cloud-making technique had made another breakthrough, and the completion of the ninjutsu had reached 10%. Now it was able to generate water mist, becoming the so-called Mist Hidden Technique. The three basic ninjutsu, transformation, substitute, and clone, had also grown to varying degrees, and the completion of the transformation technique exceeded 16%.
At dinner time, Kazuma Kobayakawa bought a fish, and after a rest, he talked to Misato about the issue of having children.
Now, Misato has rested for nearly half a year, and their first child is growing up slowly. Whether for the purpose of improving their strength or for surviving in this world, it is time to have another child.
After hearing Kobayakawa's request, Misato shyly agreed.
That night, a sound of "pain" was heard in the room. Outside the room, tears flowed from the corners of Terumi Mei's eyes again. Ichimane-chan really paid too much for the Terumi clan!
So, Kazuma Kobayakawa started his life of making a baby with Misato again. This time the pregnancy process was not very smooth. It was not until a month later that the system prompted that the seeding was successful and he received a reward.
Name: Kazuma Kobayakawa
Lifespan: 31 years
Chakra: 0.7 calories
Ninja Qualification: D (1/10)
Ninjutsu: Substitution Jutsu (16% completion), Transformation Jutsu (16% completion), Clone Jutsu (14% completion), Water Style: Mist Hiding Jutsu (10% completion).
Since this was the second time to sow seeds for the same person, the reward this time was halved compared to the last time, the chakra amount was only permanently increased by 0.1 card, and the ninja qualification was only increased by 1/10.
However, Kazuma Kobayakawa did not plan to let Misato have a third child. Neither he nor Misato Kobayakawa had very good ninja talent, so the ninja talent of the child they gave birth to would naturally not be very strong, and the reward would naturally not be too much.
Furthermore, having children will still have an impact on women's health. It is unfair to Misato to always let her have children.
