After staying in Konoha Village for more than ten years, Kosugi Bosui and Hinata Hizashi didn't have many opportunities to interact with each other.
Even though Hinata and Xianglin are classmates, their fathers are almost half a generation apart in age.
The reasons for such a huge gap are not complicated. Due to the accidental union of Kosugi Fusui and Momiji, he was only sixteen years old when he had a daughter, Xianglin. Even if marriages in the ninja world are generally younger, they can still be called It’s because of early marriage and early childbearing.
Hinata Hiashi was already twenty-nine when her eldest daughter was born.
In the famously conservative Hyuga family, it is indeed quite rare for the twin brothers Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hizashi to get married so late.
The family of Hatake, a small family, has almost died. As a result, no one urges Shizune, Umino and Iruka to get married, as well as Jiraiya and Tsunade, who no one dares to care about. It is understandable that it is difficult to start a family. The Hyuga family The next head of the family and his brother almost became an old bachelor, which is really strange.
Rumor has it that the two brothers were fighting over each other and causing a lot of trouble. The high-walled compound blocks the prying eyes of the outside world, and it is impossible for outsiders to really figure it out.
Princess Ruri, the mother of Kosugi Bushi, is also the head of the Kosugi clan. She accompanied the daimyo to entertain the people from Konoha who came from afar. Kosugi Masato showed his face, and then retreated to the rear with Kosugi Bushi. Staying away from the main hall, holding the dinner plate, without any regard for elegance, leaning against the pillars, while eating, watching the scene of the guests and hosts having fun on the other side, chatting at random.
"Head of the Hyuga clan may seem old-fashioned, but he is actually a showman!"
Kosugi Masaki chuckled and commented,
"The troubles of the Hyuga family are actually similar to ours. If you don't change, you will die immediately. If you change, you will die immediately. If you change quickly, you will fall apart. If you change quickly, the leader himself cannot be saved. The cursed seal and caged bird not only binds the body of the branch family, but also locks the Hyuga family. The possibility of deviating from the established direction..."
"At least they are more successful than the Uchiha family! I see, the Sharingan family will not last long!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui responded casually,
"I don't know if they are smart or stupid by taking the security department as their own. Although the power of security is not as good as directly controlling a ninja army, it is a violent organization that faces all Konoha villagers. Except for the real controller, no one touches anyone. die!"
After the industrial revolution in the previous life, the turbulent Age of Discovery, and the magnificent global colonization, wherever you went and lived in a foreign country, you would definitely ask for consular jurisdiction, the first article of extraterritoriality, and the basis for actual occupation.
If the Hokage does not have the power to enforce the law, it is equivalent to having a lame leg. Who will you kill if you don't kill him?
"Perhaps the Uchiha family thinks that Konoha Village belongs to them and the Senju family. Isn't it natural to take their own things?"
Kosugi Masaki chuckled,
"In comparison, the Hyuga family is so smart. Anyway, it is not their turn to be the Hokage. There is no room for promotion. It is much better to lie flat than to mess around. It is more beneficial to be conservative..."
"maybe!"
The young governor glanced at Hinata Hizashi who was talking to the daimyo.
"I feel that the current Hyuga clan leader is not a law-abiding person. He just has no ability to change the status quo, so he has to compromise..."
"Oh? Why do you think so..."
"Conservatism in the general sense is a relatively subjective concept. For example, the residents of the Kingdom of Wind feel that the etiquette and music of the Kingdom of Fire have collapsed, the great defense between men and women has disappeared, and they are living like flies and dogs, with no shame; the people of the Kingdom of Fire feel that the Kingdom of Wind is A den of robbers who are constantly fighting each other. I'm afraid everyone has their own understanding of who is truly conservative..."
After smacking his mouth and sweeping away the delicious food in his hands, he patted his belly and the satisfied Gu Shanbu Shui continued to explain,
"Actually, it is very easy to distinguish. One is to maintain the status quo and protect vested interests; the other is to break the order and redistribute interests. Hyuga Hizatsu is a new patriarch who is unable to reform and can only force himself to pretend to be a conservative. .”
This is the game between "right" and "left" that has always been present in the historical development of human society. The vested interest groups with superior superiority are almost all rightists. Those who want to reshape the situation and obtain greater benefits are naturally leftists.
Chinese people in previous lives always felt that developed countries abroad were free, open, and unrestrained, but they did not understand that this was just wishful thinking and misunderstanding.
Basically, successful individuals and countries tend to be conservative after entering a stable period. If you feel free and have no taboos, it means that you have not even touched the edge of the mainstream and are just a marginalized group that has been abandoned.
The proliferation of private life before marriage does not mean disrespect for marriage. Chinese people think that foreigners advocate freedom and are only interested in profit, so they imitate others, cheat and deceive, almost blatantly have extramarital affairs, laugh at poverty but not at prostitution, but they do not really understand the connotation. Therefore, it is incredible that the Zippergate and Watergate scandals could prevent two presidents from coming to power. How do people outside the country understand that the mainstream values are ultra-conservative puritans and their true destiny?
Because it is conservative and maintains the order dominated by vested interest groups, if the red line is touched, sudden death will naturally occur.
"Hyuga Hinashi...that's not the case! He is the leader of the clan, why would he reject the 'caged bird'?"
"Too emotional!"
Gushan Bushui thought for a while and then replied,
"The Curse Seal: Caged Bird has bound the branch family, and indirectly the main family, such as the death of Hinata Hizashi, and the second daughter Hinata Hanabi is about to turn one year old. How will she choose in the future?"
As a clan leader, he is not ruthless enough. When faced with this kind of choice, it will be particularly painful. Wandering between his father and the clan leader is Hinata Hizashi's real trouble.
Three years ago, his younger brother Hinata Hizashi committed suicide, allowing the hesitant Hinata Hizashi to get through. At the same time, he buried a thorn in his heart that could never be pulled out.
After hearing this, the old father was silent for a long time, and then said in a low voice:
"The conflict between Xiaojia and everyone is indeed a problem!"
Such troubles are almost unavoidable in big families, and the Hyuga family is particularly serious. The root cause lies in the cursed seal and the caged bird.
"What you said is indeed very possible. It seems that we, the Gusugi family and the Hyuga family, will have to slightly adjust our strategies in the future."
Kosugi Masaki said very reasonably,
"By the way, the leader of the Hyuga clan also mentioned the clan's eldest daughter, Hyuga Hinata and Kaoru. Is he setting up an ambush?"
Xianglin was an illegitimate daughter with a shady status. She was worse than a concubine. To put it nicely, she was an illegitimate daughter. In the past, she was not even qualified to be sent out for marriage.
Who Hyuga Hinata wants to associate with is a private matter. If the Hyuga clan leader mentioned it, it might be a hint.
"You are already very dissatisfied with your eldest daughter's qualifications and character. Do you think that once she is demoted to a separate family, you will seek external rescue to prevent her from becoming a caged bird?"
Whether you have the ability and whether you are willing to help is another matter. At least you have to establish a relationship first.
Gushan Bushui couldn't help but sneered a few times,
"Fathers all have the same thoughts. In order to arrange a future for their daughters, they all have the same thoughts of driving away the malicious 'pig'!"
The young family governor specially sent Xiang Rin to the Konoha Village Ninja School, and also planned to give his mother Hongye a formal official status. Isn't this all for the future?
"I don't have a daughter who doesn't make people worry. I don't have as much empathy as you and him!"
Kosugi Masaki curled his lips,
"I have also heard about Hongye's lack of acceptance. Our family has not been in the officialdom for many years and has not interfered in government affairs. We have focused on running the family business. I finally made a request, and no one must have the sense to obstruct it."
"This way, I feel at ease!"
"Don't think everything is fine. Although I agreed to postpone your marriage, it doesn't mean that I will let it go forever. If I don't see the 'opportunity' you mentioned, you will have to fulfill your duties as the governor of the Gushan family. Responsibility."
"I see!"
Gushan Bushui's mother became the head of the family. Although no one objected, it did not mean that there was really no problem.
In the past hundreds of years, the Kosugi family has controlled the huge East Kingdom, and has been in confrontation with the current daimyo. The brotherly dispute between the Taira clan and the Genji clan has continued, and no one is convinced by the other. The representative of the Genji clan is more pragmatic, and the leader of the Taira clan, the Kosugi family, who adheres more to tradition, enjoys a higher prestige in the world. When Kosugi Bosui went through the family documents, he was surprised to find that the order of one village and one country Before its establishment, the family actually prohibited marriages with ninjas, lower-level samurai, and civilians. Children who were not women of Tsinghua family or above did not have the right to inherit.
This is blatant discrimination against ninjas. No wonder that after the establishment of Konoha Village, they had to "persuade" the Furusugi family to merge into the current Daimyo family, not the other way around.
Even after decades of confluence, the Furusugi family and the daimyo no longer care much about these ancient traditions. The large and small nobles who once supported the Furusugi clan still exist.
They may not care whether the name of the Gushan family is inherited by the legitimate son. As long as the same blood flows, it doesn't matter if it is a female sect leader. But if anyone embarrasses Gushan, he will definitely not be able to hold the position of head of the family, even if the lord gives orders. use.
As the only heir, Kosugi Bosui's position as the head wife must not be Momiji who was born as a maid. Even if she is given the title of Shonagon now, it will not have much effect.
In the final analysis, it was Gu Shan Bu Shui who had control over himself. His unshakable power was too small, and he often had to take care of the thoughts of so many retainers, big and small.
As if to aggravate Gushan Bu Shui's sense of crisis, Gushan Zhengcheng said leisurely:
"Maybe you don't know that back then, a very serious civil strife broke out in the Kosugi clan over the position of family governor. At one time, someone proposed to adopt a daimyo lady and adopt her to the Kosugi family, and then recruit members of the Hyuga clan to stabilize the position with the help of ninjas... …”
"Wait, you mean?"
Gushan Bushui's heart of Bagua was immediately ignited,
"That target mission is Hinata Hizashi?"
"To be precise, he is one of their brothers. If one of them is chosen as the heir to the Hyuga clan head, the other one will marry into the Furusugi clan. They have been arguing for many years, and finally the previous head of the family and the daimyo made the decision to let your mother change her surname. , returning to Gushan, my destiny also changed accordingly, and then I had you..."
As for the two brothers of the Hyuga family, there is naturally no further information!
"No wonder, I said that Hinata Hizashi and Hinata Hizashi got married so late. It turned out to be delayed. Why didn't it happen? Is it because the matter of Cursed Seal and Caged Bird was not settled?"
"There are some reasons, but it's not the main one. The old head of the Gushan family can't suppress a lot of powerful lords under his command. They simply won't accept a descendant of a ninja to become their lord!"
To put it bluntly, it still discriminates against ninjas.
Even big nobles like the Hyuga family couldn't convince the public, let alone Momiji.
"So, you have to think clearly. If you have any other tricks, use them quickly. Some people won't give you too many chances!"
Kosugi Masaki warned very seriously,
"If you can't do that, just marry a wife and have children honestly, and be an heir who meets your expectations!"
"If, if I fail, which family will marry our Gushan family?"
"There are only a few restaurants, and there aren't many choices. No matter who it is, you must be dissatisfied!"
It's not a question of whether he's good-looking or not, whether he's strong or not, or whether his family background can help him.
Life-long events cannot be done according to one's own will in the end. It is really frustrating to have to look at other people's faces.
Unless Gushan Bushui is willing to give up his inheritance rights and become an idle dandy. However, the young family governor who has been a master and personally controls the wealth of a rich country, as well as thousands of troops, huge ships and cannons, can no longer bear to be without The life of power is gone.
…
Two days later, at an island off the coast of Whirlpool, father and son Gusugi Zhengcheng and Gusugi Bushui arrived here on a luxury cruise ship under the protection of a fleet.
Telling other ships to stay away, Gu Shanbu Shui pointed to the sea water outside the shipboard and waved his hand, and saw a black shadow suddenly rising from below the blue sea surface.
Fusugi Masaki, who had been waiting for a long time, leaned his head and looked at the giant creature that was getting closer and closer.
A few minutes later, in the phosphorescent waves, small fish as small as blades jumped up, followed by heads like long javelins, sometimes leaping out of the water, like big swords piercing the sea. fish.
Behind it are rows of whales spitting water, like a land connected by islands, pushing forward.
Below, there seemed to be more strange creatures rolling in.
"Is this the evil god of the deep sea you are talking about? It's really child's play. If it's just this level, it's unconvincing!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled and shook his head:
"Since he is a god, how could he show up so easily? There must be a large number of cannon fodder as the vanguard. Only when the critical moment comes, will he personally take action and conquer the world, right?"
"Since he is a god, how could he show up so easily? There must be a large number of cannon fodder as the vanguard. Only when the critical moment comes, will he personally take action and conquer the world, right?"
