"How many?"
Inuzuka Hana was stunned when she heard this.
"Some of the ninja dogs bred by our family are leaked. But basically, we let young ninjas who are familiar with each other come into contact with the newly born ninja dogs. If they can get along well and see each other, they will be given away without any mention of sale. Generally, Under the circumstances, let alone a few, one is considered good..."
Ninja dogs are like an inseparable fighting partner to the Inuzuka clan. They are nominally ninja tools, but in fact they are like relatives. Naturally, they cannot be bought and sold like pets.
"Is it so troublesome?"
Such an answer disappointed Gu Shan Bu Shui.
The illegitimate daughter Xianglin will not be exactly the same as the Xianglin who was originally supposed to grow up in the Kingdom of Grass. But his talent is still inherited from his mother. The Gusugi family's bloodline is not bad, but it cannot have an advantage in front of the Uzumaki family.
The existence of Kagura's inner eye, a gifted secret skill, makes Gusugi Bushui feel more at ease about Xianglin's safety. Her innate ability to turn danger into good fortune and escape from danger enables her to successfully escape most difficulties as long as she wants to run and has enough mobility.
Xiang Rin's mother in the original timeline also had the secret gift of physical healing, so she would probably also use Kagura's Heart Eye. The reason why he was tortured to death in the Land of Grass was probably because he felt that he couldn't survive in the war-torn ninja world with his young Kōrin.
Since you have such a talent, you must carry it forward.
In the future, it would be good for Xianglin to be a medical ninja with outstanding auxiliary abilities, but she still has some shortcomings.
If there are no capable companions, the combat effectiveness will be insufficient, and there will be no talk of self-protection and protecting loved ones.
The three brothers Inuzuka Hana and Haimaru in front of him made Fusugi Fusui realize that fighting partners do not have to be humans, psychic beasts can also be used. The healing effect of physical healing is not only effective for ninjas, but also psychic beasts.
If there are a bunch of powerful ninja dogs guarding you, you will be fine even if your own attack power is low. A "summoner" who is proficient in healing and assisting has a powerful "summoned beast" and can still kill everyone.
"Senior, if you insist, you can let Xiang Rin visit the Inuzuka clan. If there are puppies who can resonate with her, that would be great!"
Inuzuka Hana explained with some embarrassment,
"However, I don't have any say in this matter. I need mother's approval!"
"That's it! Then I may not be able to wait any longer. I will leave Konoha Village tomorrow and go home to do some errands! You go home and ask first. If possible, I will ask Mr. Togakushi to take Xiang Rin to experience it! I can't do it myself It's a bit rude to go, I'll wait until next time I come to Konoha Village to say thank you!"
"This... is a trivial matter. It takes a little effort. You're welcome!"
Inuzuka Hana responded politely,
"Senior keeps saying that Xianglin is an illegitimate daughter, but secretly he still cares about her. Will he marry her mother in the future?"
"It's very difficult, but no one can say what the future will look like!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui sighed slightly and said,
"If you change your family, there may be room for flexibility. You can roughly understand the existence of the Kosugi clan as the Hinata of the ninja clan of Konoha Village. It has been passed down for countless years. Not only does it have wealth that makes people proud, but it also has a burden that is difficult to return. , because the tradition and glory remain standing, but also are deeply bound by it.”
The ancient fir family is like a towering tree. The dense canopy protects the flowers and plants under the tree from the scorching sun and frost. The thick branches provide support for the climbing vines to rise. Countless insects live in them, traveling from south to north. Birds in the past build nests as a place to stay.
The social structure of Konoha Village, which is dominated by ninjas, is much simpler after all; there are too many people who directly or indirectly rely on the existence of worldly tycoons like Furugi to survive.
Several sub-noble families such as Yasukawa and Togakushi joined in, and everyone supported each other. They all prospered and suffered losses.
The trouble in Gushan Bushui is no longer a family problem.
After returning home this time, there were several unavoidable blind dates waiting for Gushan Bushui. When Hongye was in ruins, if she hadn't given birth to Xianglin, no one would have cared about her, let alone becoming the governor of Gushan's young family. Madam.
"Doesn't she...senpai like it? Or do you want Xianglin to stay in Konoha Village?"
"Xiang Rin's mother... such a gentle and intelligent woman. If I were born into a commoner's family in Konoha Village and could marry her, I would wake up laughing from my dreams in the middle of the night. How could I be dissatisfied? It's just a way of expressing feelings. , being too direct is not necessarily a good thing for us now. The winner is the one who laughs in the end. I am the heir of Furusugi who has the possibility of inheriting the position of Daimyo of the Land of Fire, but that is all, and my strength is no more than a chuunin. , the wealth doesn’t entirely belong to me. So, I have to work hard!”
"Is family status so important?"
Inuzuka Hana was a little unhappy. What happened to Kosugi Fusui was too far from the romantic artistic life in her impression.
"It doesn't matter, but I can't bear the price. You are still young and you will understand in the future!"
Gushan Bushui has its current status because of tradition and rules. If it takes the lead to challenge it, it will be abandoned; without other forces to support its status, everything now will disappear.
Ninjas can ignore those complicated and backward traditions, because they are subversives who use force to break the law.
Gushan Bushui was born in a world where everyone was equal, at least on the surface, in his previous life. After traveling through time, it took him a long time to understand the importance of the Gushan family adhering to traditional feudal etiquette.
To be a slave or a maid, to be a cow or a horse, this is not an exaggerated expression, but a realistic one.
Slaves are just cows and horses!
Kosugi Bushui's father, when he was still called Yasukawa Masaki, was really a luxurious figure. He was like a timely rain in the field, and like the fourth son of the Warring States Period in the court. He was a romantic choice and married Kosugi Bushui's mother, Princess Liuli. , and even got the reputation of being a wife, but it was really true love.
When I was a child, listening to my father talk about the deeds of those so-called noble sons with great reputations really shocked Gushan Bushui.
He recruits a wide range of customers and invites noble people who buy reputation. He is very generous and spends huge sums of money without blinking an eye. But they were extremely harsh on their servants and didn't treat them as human beings at all.
The gangsters who drank and had fun during the day and stayed in the palace at night went to find maids and even concubines to have fun.
The son of a maid is born with the stigma of "unknown father". To call someone a child raised by a maid is to scold a bastard who doesn't know who his father is.
Concubine Ji is slightly better off, but her status as a "trader" means that she is destined to have no reputation. The status of concubines of wealthy families is also very embarrassing. Maybe they still struggle in the name of concubines in the master's family, hoping to be accepted one day, but their concubine's mother may have been sold or given away.
Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, marriage matters, why is the man's betrothal gift and the woman's dowry equally important?
If the bride price is not generous, the man’s family will be looked down upon, and if the dowry is shabby, the woman will be bullied if she marries; without a bride price, she is a bride-in-law, and without a dowry, she is selling her daughter. The concubine who was sold.
A family like the Kosugi family has to keep their dignity after all. Of course, they will not use their female relatives to greet their retainers to win over their subordinates. Servants who have reached an age will also be assigned marriages internally. Some loyal and powerful retainers who have been servants for generations, That's how it came about.
Nowadays, the civilization of the ninja world has also become much more civilized. Being a slave and a maid does not mean that future generations cannot make a difference. The maids who have signed a contract are not like before, they can kill and buy at will without any responsibility.
But in the case of Hongye and Xianglin, there is no reason to break the sky. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to enter the door of Gusugi's house.
…
A week later, Gusugi Bushui returned home and saw his father Gusugi Masato who had returned early.
Different from his amiable and loving attitude when he was in Konoha Village, he now carries an inexplicable chilling aura.
There was also a faint smell of blood in the air, as well as traces of aromatherapy that masked the smell.
"It seems like it's not a big deal!"
Gushan Bushui, who had expected it, asked,
"How many were killed?"
"A dozen of them were killed on the spot..."
"so much?"
"There are only two masterminds. No direct evidence has been found for the others, but they are highly likely to be involved, which is no longer reliable."
Since he can no longer be trusted and used, and he knows so many secrets of the Gusugi family, he definitely cannot keep them.
"Nearly one hundred and fifty people have been transferred from key positions, and they can only live hand to mouth for the rest of their lives! They may not have been directly involved, but they are suspected of sitting back and letting people with ulterior motives plot against the young family governor, and spared his life , it’s already worthy of them!”
"Have you found the culprit behind this?"
His father, Masaki Kosugi, shook his head:
"It's impossible to find it, and there's no need to look for it! Just think about who has the ability to cause trouble in Gu Shan's family, and who will benefit from it after it happens!"
"really!"
Gushan Bushui agreed with his father's statement. Taking the initiative will only prove the truth. Stabilizing the situation and strengthening defenses are the most important. Taking advantage of the great cause and stabilizing the situation is just a matter of course to crush the situation. Do unnecessary things. On the contrary, it is easy to be caught.
"By the way, Kazuma has become the leader of the guardian ninja. I heard that you were coming back, so I waited a few more days. It seems that I have something to discuss with you..."
