After a delay of more than half a month, the fleet set sail again and headed southwest. Following the ocean current, the sailing speed was obviously faster. The original five-day voyage could be reached in three days.
At the back end of the lower open deck, Gu Shan Bu Shui was leaning on a deck chair, looking through the copies of information that had been rushed from the Gu Shan family's secret vault.
If you look into the myths and stories recorded above, they are like the ravings of a drunken mental patient. The inconsistencies are not enough to describe their absurdity. Many of the descriptions even reveal incomprehensible anti-humanity and anti-social madness. It's completely unlike what a great nobleman with a history of thousands of years should be like.
However, if you add the background consideration of "The Goddess of Mao", you can get some reasonable guesses about some things.
Maybe there are some parts that were made up by later generations, but after careful identification and combined with his own "foresight", Gushan Bushui figured out something.
For example, the process of selecting "human sacrifices" packaged in words is simply unbelievable, but if it is to prepare "materials" for making Bai Zetsu, it seems to make sense.
Before being sealed by Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura, the entire ninja world was the private property of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, and humans were livestock in the pasture.
A high-ranking god will definitely not manage the trivial affairs of the ninja world in every detail. Someone has to establish rules and regulations on his behalf, manage the pasture for the "Goddess of Mao", and select the fattest "livestock" to contribute to the sacred tree.
In the beginning, the so-called "human masters" were the ancestors of Gusugi Bosui. After Otsutsuki Kaguya was sealed, they transformed and became the new rulers.
This reminded Gu Shanbu Shui of the ironic "Animal Farm" in his previous life.
Old Major Six Paths Sage and his younger brother finished everything and left a lot of inheritance before they died.
The ancestors of Gushan Bushui were even more fortunate. They did not have to bear the risk of expelling the goddess Mao who had been looking at them for a long time, so they took advantage of it.
The only regret is probably that the Immortal of Six Paths and his biological brother have descendants, and took away the most valuable inheritance. The "human masters" of the new era watched helplessly, but they were still unable to snatch away those powerful Asuras and Immortals. The descendants of Tuoluo.
However, the number of strong people is too small, and the surviving people still live under the rule of outstanding leaders of the new era.
They couldn't get in touch with God anyway, so they would do whatever the ancestors of Gushan Bushui said. The changes in power at the top level did not have much impact on the strength structure of the middle and lower levels, which continued to develop according to inertia. Even the kings who claimed to be daimyo shamelessly called themselves descendants of the divine blood. It is unlikely that future generations would believe it themselves.
The original meaning of daimyo is a person who owns or manages a large number of fields and manors. It does not mean a prince. To put it bluntly, he is the head of the household appointed by God and a guardian with a higher status. In the end, he stole the high position and turned the daimyo into the real king. And occupy the great righteousness in the name of God.
They may only have some knowledge and talents for managing a place given by the Goddess of Mao, but it is this advantage that widens the gap between them and ordinary people, and they have maintained their advantage to this day.
"Hey, Brother Bu Shui, are you okay? You can smile when you read the family tree and ancient records. Did you discover some secret?"
Liangzhong said with some dissatisfaction,
"How about I ask my grandfather to give you the secret book at home to read, and then you take me to the Bear Country? The Wave Country is too small and not lively enough..."
"If it's not too much trouble, find some cool ones for me to take a look at. If it's interesting, I can consider letting you see what the real corrupt life in the market is like..."
"You are my eldest brother, so you can't go back on your word. I'll make people prepare..."
Liangshige, who had cleared away the gloom, smiled happily and said,
"If you need anything else, just ask..."
"Don't worry! You are still young, so stay calm..."
The smiling young governor stretched his somewhat stiff neck, tilted his head and smiled at the three Konoha ninjas wearing combat vests beside him,
"Kai, it's such a nice weather, you guys can relax a bit and don't be so rigid. It's very disgraceful to look so murderous all over your body..."
Metkai, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looked helplessly at Shiranui Genma, who was holding a thousand books in his mouth, and Ebisu, who was calmly holding up his glasses, and responded with a smile:
"Last time, Mr. Liang Zhong almost had his head broken by a street gangster. We failed to fulfill our duty of protecting him. If something happens again, this mission will not be easy to judge!"
"This is the price of his willfulness, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Gushan Bu Shui waved his hand,
"You don't have to care so much. We have been classmates for a few months, and we have also served as referee for the duel between you and Kakashi. By the way, Ebisu even peeked at the female hot spring bath in my hot spring hotel when he was a child. He wanted to If I hadn't been covering for him, I would have been caught. Xuanjian doesn't have any dark history, which is a pity..."
The corners of Shiranui Genma's mouth turned up in pride, while Ebisu blushed and couldn't help but cough a few times:
"That was framed, I didn't mean to peep..."
"Okay, okay, it's over, the truth is not important. I don't really want to expose your shortcomings, I just want to say that since we are so familiar, it is not a formal occasion, it is better to relax a little. Although it is a B-level mission, we encountered a ninja attack The possibility is extremely small, just think that the old classmates are using their power for personal gain and let you take paid vacation to travel!"
"Don't make us sound like reward thieves. We are so solemn just because we don't want to be accused..."
Shiranui Genma sighed and said vaguely,
"Having another B-level mission experience will be very helpful for our promotion to Jonin. Ebisu and I will probably have to work hard for a few more years. If Kai is lucky, the Jonin assessment mission is not far away..."
"It has been almost ten years since I was promoted to Chuunin, but it is still so difficult to obtain the qualification of Jonin. After the Ninja World War, the opportunity for rapid promotion is gone. However, this is also a good thing..."
Ebisu glanced at the servants waiting around him out of the corner of his eye, and said to Gusugi Fusui:
"I used to think that with your strength, you couldn't pass the examination of the ninja school. It was simply unbelievable. Now it seems that with such a family background, what kind of ninja do you want to be? A profession where you exchange life for money is not worth the risk for a young master like you..."
When I think about the time when I was just starting out, I met the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and the three of them in the team were almost wiped out. If Metkai's father had not used the Eight-door Armor Formation to defeat the enemy, the three of them would not have imagined the possibility of the future. .
Even in the eyes of these Konoha Village elites, ninjas are not considered a profession worth boasting about, and are no more noble than other people.
