In a port city near the sea in the eastern part of the Ninja World Continent, surrounded by three rivers and facing the sea on one side, Inaba is not very outstanding. If it weren't for the Kosugi family's clan here, many people would probably not know about this place.
There is a long and narrow protrusion in the east of Inaba, which plunges into the sea. The locals call it Cape Keta. On the cliff facing the rolling waves, there is an ancient shrine, which enshrines the god named Inaba Hakuto. It is said that he can Bring good luck to believers.
Hundreds of years ago, the Furusugi clan was at its peak. Closer to the inland, the "Izumo Country" dominating the east coast was a deep imprint of this ancient family on the hearts of the residents of the Land of Fire. , from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, there are countless children named "Izumo" born in this huge country.
Inaba, which has declined a lot, and a large area of land around it, used to be a fiefdom called Inaba. Since ancient times, Sugi and the Daimyo clan of the Land of Fire merged and no longer acted as the leader of the country. Inaba's jurisdiction has also shrunk. After a while, the name was also changed to Inaba by the daimyo's order.
The sea has changed, the years have changed!
A lot has changed, but the Gushan family still exerts great influence on this land passed down from generation to generation.
Less than five kilometers from Cape Qiduo to the deep sea, there is a small island called Yuqi Island, which is a sacred place with beautiful scenery and birds singing.
This island does not welcome outsiders at will. The Gushan family's hundreds of years of accumulation and countless secrets are hidden on the island.
To the northeast, less than three days' boat ride away, is the country of Whirlpool across the sea; to the south is the country of Waves, which seems to have a very important strategic location, but not many people paid attention to it during the war.
The lost Gusugi clan now retains the right to inherit the name of the Fire Country. Over the past few decades, multiple marriages have stabilized the situation and began to slowly expand its strength in another way.
When Kosugi Fusui was five years old, he proposed to his parents that he wanted to go to Konoha Village to learn ninjutsu, which made everyone in the family very embarrassed.
In order to dispel the "unrealistic" ideas of the young governor, his father Masaki Kosugi and his advisers discussed for a long time and decided to hold a "Kaito Martial Arts Conference" to let his son see how powerful the majestic samurai can be. The despicable and shameless ninja can't compare to those who play tricks and tricks.
After several months of preparation, the event, which was renamed "The World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament" at the last moment, kicked off.
This arrogant name was really not proposed by Gu Shan Bushui, but by his mother, who was the governor of the family, who disliked the "Haidong Martial Arts Conference" as being too shabby, and that's what happened next.
It was originally just an opportunity for the "never seen the world" Gushan Bushui to get a good understanding of the world. Unexpectedly, it was a great success for the first time, and unexpectedly attracted the attention of the entire Fire Country and even several surrounding countries. Sensational.
Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second.
With the current situation in the ninja world, there are competitive warriors everywhere.
Not only samurai, but also ninjas, puppet masters, bounty hunters and other people of all kinds flocked to the event. The first "World's Best Martial Arts Tournament" was no longer just about samurai.
The Gushan family, who was caught off guard, did not lose any ground. Instead, they moved the original stage from an ordinary training ground to the renovated Yuqi Island, and then urgently revised the competition format to add various battle scenes.
The excitement lasted for half a year, and the hard work of the Gushan family was not in vain. They selected many outstanding guards from outstanding samurai, ninjas, bounty hunters and ronin.
Having tasted the sweetness, Princess Liuli, the family governor, and Gushan Zhengcheng, who had a good vision, decided to hold the "World's Best Martial Arts Conference" every year on Yuqi Island.
Of course, it is not called this name anymore. Due to the objections of the contestants other than the samurai, the name of the event became "King of Fighting" starting from the third session.
Countless people who think they are powerful, unknown, and can't find a chance to show themselves are eager for the title of "King of Fighting".
The winners every year have become famous figures.
Especially eight years ago, the still minor Kazuma overcame the crowd and won the championship in one fell swoop. He was recruited by the Kosugi family as an advisor and guest minister. Later, he was recommended and became the guardian ninja of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. He achieved a class leap and became a ninja. After becoming a famous figure, the popularity of the "King of Fighting" event has been pushed to a higher peak.
Nowadays, the "King of Fighting" event has become a grand event for the ninja world to compete with the Chunin Examination. Although there are very few active ninjas from the big ninja villages participating, some small ninja villages who need to show their strength on the stage will not be picky. .
Kosugi Fusui didn't have much involvement in the family's actions, but precisely because of these unexpected gains, his parents no longer strongly opposed their son going to Konoha Village to learn ninjutsu.
This year's "King of Fighting" event is already the 16th. The early trials and preliminaries have ended, and the main event will be in three months. Various means are used to warm up, making it already become a favorite among residents of the ninja world. Topic.
Kazuma came here this time to negotiate with the Furusugi family on behalf of the daimyo. He wanted to select a few suitable members to supplement the guardian ninja team as the leader of the guardian ninja.
…
Near the offshore islands not far from Yuqi Island, Kazuma with medium-long black hair held a tin staff and suddenly rushed forward, hitting the sea surface. The splashing water was like a thousand jets shooting towards the ancient cedar water.
The figure that could not dodge was hit hard, and then dissipated into pieces of water.
"Water body? You use it very skillfully..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound of waves coming from behind.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
A roaring water dragon snaked upwards, opened its mouth, and rushed towards Kazuma.
In such a suitable environment, the power of water escape is undoubtedly much greater. After sparring for a long time, Kazuma's body is also a little tired.
"The progress in using B-level water escape ninjutsu so skillfully in battle is amazing!"
As he spoke, Kazuma rounded his tin staff, slashed hard several times, and blocked the water. Then he retreated with the power of the shock wave and slid far on the water before stopping his castration.
"In this case, I can't be too slack!"
The leader of the guardian ninja decided to show his true skills. He held the tin staff in his right hand to protect himself, and the chakra blade in his left hand kept accumulating power. Under the blessing of the changes in the nature of the wind attribute chakra, the blue blade exuded a "buzzing" vibration. ring.
"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"
Not to be outdone, Gusugi Fusui quickly set up a defensive ninjutsu in front of him to delay the opponent's movements, and then prepared to use the most familiar Kirigakure technique to temporarily avoid the edge.
While he was in the seal room, he saw the water wall in front of him being forcefully broken through. He underestimated Kazuma's ancient sugi water divination and watched as the chakra blade pierced straight towards him.
"Ninja Technique: Four-edged Iron Claw!"
The sharp blade flying up and down shredded all the chakra defense in front of Gu Shan Bu Shui's body, and the tip of the blade stayed in front of his busy eyes.
"it's over!"
"yes!"
Gushan Bushui smiled bitterly and dispersed the accumulated chakra.
"You, who are proficient in earth escape and wind escape, defeated me, who is proficient in water escape, on the sea without any suspense. The gap is really too big!"
"I'm several years older than you, and I have more combat experience. If I don't have such strength, how can I be qualified to be the boss of the guardian ninja?"
Kazuma responded with a smile,
"Protecting a daimyo is not an easy task. You must have the consciousness of sacrifice. Last year, two companions died..."
There was also a treacherous whirlpool surrounding the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, in which countless people were caught up and died without a burial place.
As the nominally most powerful person in the ninja world, Kosugi Bosui's grandfather and the current daimyo of the Land of Fire, he is not a simple person. It's just that he is old and lacks energy, which makes many guys who are ready to move start to become restless again. .
Because of this, the task of guarding Shinobi is also very heavy, and it is also necessary to recruit capable generals.
"Sarutobi Asuma...isn't he reliable?"
"There is no problem now. Who can say for sure in the future?"
Kazuma sighed quietly,
"The daimyo trusts him deeply, but I dare not think so!"
