"Failed! It seems that we need to find some inspiration..."
The helpless Gusugi Fusui gave up the attempt. The effect of the ninjutsu disappeared, but the fish in the pond did not stop immediately. Another quarter of an hour passed, and the water surface gradually calmed down with the sound of fish flicking and splashing from time to time. .
While Gushan Bushui was waiting boredly, light footsteps came from behind.
"What are you thinking about?"
"A little problem with the development of ninjutsu..."
Gu Shan Bu Shui turned around and gave Hong Ye a bright smile.
"I heard some time ago that the young master has given up on being a ninja. I originally thought it was a pity that my years of hard work were not recognized. It's really a pity! Now that I see the young master cheering up, I feel relieved!"
"Now I don't dare to be willful anymore! Back then, I complained about everything and used wine to drown my sorrows, but the result was not what I expected. Drinking makes people cowardly, and I can't control it..."
"I know Shao Ai, it is inevitable for young people, so there is no need to blame yourself too much..."
"Different!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui shook his head,
"Some people are born not to let themselves go too much. Except for my parents, no one really disciplined me. If most people want to do bad things, they don't have the conditions; if I let go, I don't know how many families will be harmed..."
"So, we servants are really lucky to have such a master. It's not easy for him to be as humble as dust and still be treated as a human being!"
"Humble, but not despicable! Sister Hongye, stop thinking of yourself as a lower person. Only pets and property have owners, people don't need..."
Hearing Gushan Bu Shui's somewhat outrageous words, Hongye's fair face showed a true smile:
"If other people hear the young master calling me sister, I don't know how many gossips there will be..."
"There are no outsiders anyway!"
Furusugi Bushui was muttering while looking at the red leaves.
Different from the previous slightly formal dark work-fitting robe, the former maid specially changed into an off-white fine-grained dress. Her every move revealed a charm that was different from that of a young girl. Gu Shanbu Shui took a deep breath. , as if seeing the pink glow emanating slightly from the other party.
"Perceptual ability is enough, but being too sensitive is a bit redundant!" 』
After clearing away the aftereffects of the secret technique he had just performed, Gu Shanbu Shui, whose vision returned to clarity, couldn't help but murmur in a low voice:
"One side of the low ponytail is swung over one shoulder. This hairstyle is very dangerous!"
"What happened to my hair?"
Hong Ye, who vaguely heard something about it, stroked the red temples on his forehead in confusion.
"Xianglin is a little troubled by her hair color that is too conspicuous because she is always teased by other children; I am quite satisfied with it. She has a decent appearance, but this is what makes her more beautiful..."
"Being average" is definitely a modest way of saying it. The Gushan family must select the best servants, not just one in a hundred, but one in fifty. However, in such a wealthy family, beautiful women are not a scarce resource. Fairy-like beauties will become less confident among a bunch of almost beautiful young girls over time.
"The Uzumaki family's bloodline is really stubborn!"
The former ruler of the Kingdom of Uzumaki was the Uzumaki Clan, but the residents of the Kingdom of Uzumaki are not necessarily all Uzumaki clan members; the ninja world is so large, those with red hair may not necessarily be Uzumaki clan members, but those with Uzumaki family blood must account for the majority.
In addition, there are also examples of mixed-race Uzumaki clan members whose hair color has changed, which is rare, but not just one or two.
"It is also because of the talent brought by this bloodline that Xianglin was born! She has already settled down in Konoha Village. It is a helpless move to separate you mother and daughter!"
"Even if the young master does not arrange this, I will still plan for her future. The best result of staying by my side is to become a tool for marriage. When she reaches an age, she will marry someone she does not know, live in peace, and have children... …”
Hong Ye sighed leisurely.
"Now, it looks like this..."
Gu Shan Bu Shui asked hesitantly,
"Sister Hongye, do you regret it?"
"I have no regrets..."
Hongye replied calmly,
"Perhaps so many unpredictable possibilities in my future life have disappeared, and I still feel a little regretful. But I feel very lucky to be taken in by the Gushan family and avoid being displaced and dying in a foreign land. Even in the most beautiful girl's dream, I I never expected that there would be a noble person like the young master to embellish my youthful fantasies. What’s more, I also have a well-behaved and lovely daughter, who gives me a feeling of a complete life. Only..."
After a pause, Hongye showed a big sister-like tolerant smile and said mockingly:
"I am much older than the young master, and I am not a girl worthy of the young master..."
"So, that's what Sister Hongye thinks! Just don't blame me. Over the years, I always feel a sense of guilt that I have done something bad and sneaked away without responsibility."
"There is no way around this. Climbing high or giving in are both very difficult choices. Young Master also has many things he wants to do but cannot do. I understand. But..."
Hongye said, tilting his head slightly,
"I am a very greedy woman. Since the young master does not dislike me and Xianglin, can I hope to work harder and get more?"
"Eh?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui was stunned for a moment, looking at Hong Ye half smiling but not smiling, with a serious expression on his face, he quickly came to his senses,
"I can't say what the future will be like, but I am unanimous in our efforts to be more free to choose what we want in life..."
"I am looking forward!"
Gusugi Bushui's answer made Hongye feel a little relieved.
"The little brother I took care of as a toddler is now about to grow into a man who stands tall and upright. No wonder Xiang Lin said in the letter that he is quite satisfied with you, a father who never sees the beginning of a dragon..."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled knowingly. The little guy who looked a little weak on the outside actually had such a small thought in his heart.
"Xiang Lin has a direction of her own efforts. What will Sister Hongye do? Will she continue to stay here to take care of these orphans?"
Maybe in the future one of them will grow up to be successful, recalling his childhood experiences, and come to support Hongye. However, it is unrealistic to count on this illusory possibility, and it will take too long. When these children grow up, Momiji and Kosugi Bosui will also grow old.
When you are young and full of enthusiasm, you seize the day; only when you are no longer able to survive will you place your hopes on the next generation.
"Young Master no longer insists on being a Konoha ninja, and has not given up on ninjutsu training. He has other ideas, right? The secret blood technique that I am good at should be of use. In addition, the Uzumaki clan members who were scattered all over the world can also be used. After contacting some, most of them have thin blood and no ability, but after the country is subjugated, they don't ask for much. If they are given a little sweetness, they will be grateful and be used by the young master..."
