Next, Fusugi Bosui showed off to his old father, showing off multiple morphological changes. The destructive power of the "Red Tide Forest" really frightened Fusugi Masaki.
"That's why we are so afraid of the Ninja Village. You, a half-hearted ninja, can do this even if you work hard enough. A real master will make trouble at all costs, and the whole world will be turned upside down."
Destruction is always easier than creation. After countless years, human beings have developed civilization to the present level. If we thoroughly deduce the past, maybe a single ninjutsu can do it.
What is the true meaning of extraordinary?
What ordinary people cannot do or imagine, Ninjutsu can achieve without reason or common sense.
Masaki Furusugi, who is in his forties, is entering old age from his prime. With half a lifetime of experience, he has a profound understanding of ninjas. When he sees the spectacular scene in front of him, he is naturally filled with emotion.
"Ordinary ninjas definitely can't do it. I spent a lot of effort and paid a huge price to do it!"
Whether it was almost semi-permanent destruction of the undersea landscape and squeezing the local marine environment, or driving the mermaids to prepare, or getting a favor and asking Kaguya Otsutsuki to give guidance, the price was not small.
Even so, he still only got a bluff that didn't live up to his name.
These preparations should be enough to deal with weak ninjas, but they are still not enough in front of real masters.
There is almost no defense, and it relies entirely on health and quick recovery. The upper limit of attack strength is there. It is okay to kill in a large area, but it is a bit incapable of attacking tough situations.
Of course, ninjas also dislike opponents like the "Red Tide Forest". They have no weaknesses and are difficult to kill, which means they must rely on absolute strength to kill them. There is not much room for tricks. The ninja is obviously an assassin-type combat profession with strong explosive power and proficiency in assassination. Competing with the enemy for consumption means using one's own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points, which will result in great losses.
Originally, the number of ninjas was not large, and they could not afford to fight a protracted war.
Gushan Zhengcheng hesitated for a while, then sighed leisurely:
"You are provoking those contestants in the name of the god of rivers. It seems reasonable, but there is also a bigger problem. Suaqiu Tsu, the God of God, and Suaqiu Tsu, are gods of rivers with a long history in the ninja world. The coastal area is revered as the Mito God. The so-called "Mito" means the mouth of the river, port, "Su" means the rapid flow of water, and "Akitsu" represents Mingjin, the evil spirit, and the purification ceremony to remove dirt. The God of Rivers, also known as Mito God, metaphorically washes away unpredictable disasters. The story you made up is quite consistent with the doctrine. The only thing that is a little worrying is the true meaning of the birth of the belief in the God of Rivers..."
After listening to his old father's explanation, Gushan Bushui asked in surprise:
"Is there any hidden secret that I don't know about?"
After Furugi Masaki paused, he looked at the island not far away, where the long-abandoned Uzumaki Country was located.
"Legend has it that the goddess of disaster and misfortune, Seorizu-hime, sits in the whirlpool of the river and washes away the sins and filth on her body into the sea!"
"Wait, Uzumaki?"
Hearing this, Gu Shan Bu Shui was shocked.
"Why haven't I seen this passage in "Kojiki"?"
"What kind of secret can be recorded in books? Only what is passed down by word of mouth is the truth that should not be known to outsiders!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui was immediately speechless.
There is an Uzumaki family in the ninja world. The Uzumaki Kingdom they established is located on an island just east of the main river on the mainland. This ninja family has a long-standing relationship with many gods and is very mysterious.
Nearly a hundred years ago, a princess named Uzumaki Mito came out. She married the Senju Hashirama, helped establish the Leaf Village, and pioneered the way of sealing the tailed beast into her body, becoming the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
Many landmark events, viewed individually, seem to have little connection, but now Gu Shanbu Shui has clearly noticed a hidden connection.
Both the Uzumaki family and the Mito God seem to be related to the so-called essence of filth. Furusugi Bosui "sets" the God of the River to target the "fallen" human beings themselves, judging them to destroy the ocean and endanger the cancer of the world, and then punish them. Punishment, a slap in the face, is completely justified.
The question is, will there be more "ulterior" secrets in it? Will the script of "saving the world" prepared by Gushan Bushui just hit the sensitive nerves of some "old monsters"?
After hesitating for a moment, Gushan Bushui smiled and said:
"Now that we've reached this point, why do we care so much? If there are any 'monsters' coming out, I'd really like to see who it is..."
The most powerful and ferocious goddess Mao is making plans within her body. What else is there to fear about those "old monsters" who are no longer able to appear in the world?
"You have decided, and I will not object. However, no matter what, don't end up personally, clean up your mess, and don't let unnecessary trouble come to your door!"
"Don't worry! I'm so young and haven't enjoyed enough glory and wealth. I won't make fun of my own life!"
…
Two days later, on a sunny morning, the much-anticipated 16th "King of Fighting" Challenge officially began.
In order to distinguish it from private fights between ninjas and samurai, the use of drugs, unregistered weapons and off-site assistance is not allowed after the "King of Fighters" competition begins.
The use of thermal weapons is not restricted in principle, but only to handguns with limited range and power. Automatic and semi-automatic rifles, machine guns, cannons of higher caliber, etc., are strictly brought into the arena.
Samurai have no restrictions on armor and swords, ninjas have no restrictions on ninja tools and ninjutsu, and monks, priests and shrine maidens have no restrictions on the use of shikigami and spells.
In general, it is an unrestricted fighting with a high degree of freedom.
But in fact, depending on the combat environment, weapon selection, referee bias, etc., absolute fairness cannot be guaranteed, and a compromise solution can only be adopted to barely make everyone accept it.
In the center of the huge venue, there is a green grass square, divided into more than a dozen small arenas. With the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, they are fully focused on the battle.
He had been staying behind the daimyo, silently watching the Konoha ninjas patrolling back and forth. Finally, the extremely bored Gusugi Fusui calmly exited the luxury box and came to the entrance for medical service personnel.
After passing by the losers who were lying on the floor and injured due to fatigue, they entered the preparation area and looked closely at the nearly fifty outstanding players of this year.
Later, there will be the final selection of this round, and nearly half of the contestants will be eliminated. The lucky ones who advance will have a two-day rest period to recover their strength, treat their injuries, and find out information about their opponents.
Then, they will be taken to the preset coastal arena, and the final ranking will be decided on the super cruise ship off the coast of the Whirlpool.
At that time, there will be no close spectators, and contestants who do not have to worry about accidental injuries can give it a try.
The huge venue will not limit their performance.
The only regret is that this year's decisive battle seems to be more favorable to ninjas who are proficient in water escape, at least on the surface.
Among the people present, some knew Gushan Bushui, while others had no impression. But no one got close to him at this time. Some familiar faces had participated in the "King of Fighting" competition more than once.
According to the established rules, the contestant who wins the individual category is no longer allowed to participate in the individual category competition, while the team category champion does not have this restriction.
Gushan Bushui recognized the big guy from the Land of Earth for a while, and he has participated for five consecutive years. The best place he ranked was second in the individual group, and the worst place was in the top 16. Unfortunately, every draw was not good, and he failed continuously. He faced strong opponents and never won the championship.
This guy is also stubborn. He doesn't give in every time he loses, and he comes back the next year.
"Iwago, are you sure you will win the top prize this year?"
"Young Master, please tell me backstage and ask me to meet a few more miscellaneous fish, and I'll catch the first one."
The bald man who joked familiarly laughed. He was beaten like a dead dog every year and carried away. I don't know where he got the confidence. He only wanted to be the best.
Gu Shanbu Shui, who shrugged his shoulders, did not retort. He smelled the smell of sweat in the air, curled his lips and left. The lounge at the back was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere, as if he was "teasing" something that he would not normally see. A big shot with a great sense of accomplishment.
"Hey, don't wander around at this time and add burden to our defense work!"
In the shadow of the corner, Mitarashi Anko came over holding a skewer of fried dumplings in one hand and complaining words coming out of her chewing mouth.
"You are also the target of key protection. You often go into the blind spots of the defense. Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
"After all, I'm a classmate who almost became a ninja. It's not normal to test the loopholes in the defense system."
Gu Shan Bu Shui was not embarrassed at all and responded casually,
"In terms of strength, I don't look like a weakling who can't even support you until you come to help me."
"Well, it's been a long time since we last met. We've become quite estranged. Shouldn't we go have a drink to restore our old relationship?"
"Don't sound like you've ever had a fling!"
He glanced at Mitarashi Anko, who was walking forward quickly and walking side by side.
"If you hadn't been talking nonsense with your big mouth, the relationship between Asuma and I wouldn't be so bad. That bad boy with Yuhi's eyes full of red might have regarded me as his love rival!"
He is young, wealthy, good-looking, and well-spoken. Even if some people dislike Gu Shan Bu Shui, few of his classmates actually turn against him.
"Haha, it's not my fault. Who makes Asma, that seemingly careless man with a beard, be so sensitive?"
"Fortunately, there was a conflict and a misunderstanding!"
"Seriously, have you never been attracted to Hong? She was really cute when she was a child, and she is also a gorgeous beauty now. If I were a man, I would pursue her crazily!"
"What's the use of telling this to a father who has a daughter in a ninja school?"
She calmly moved away from Mitarashi Anko, who was full of nonsense.
"The Furusugi family will not allow a ninja mistress, and I don't think I have the ability to have an outstanding Konoha female ninja as my mistress."
"It's so boring. What I want to ask is, are you not ready to make a move?"
"Not my type!"
Gushan Bushui thought of a perfunctory reason and then explained,
"For me, a good-looking body is easy to come by, but an interesting soul is hard to find in a lifetime. Apart from wine tasting, I can't find a common language with her!"
"That's it!"
Mitarashi Anko seemed to have expected it, and said with a smile,
"Let me tell you a secret. Kurenai had a good impression of you at first. Asuma probably heard about some troubles, so he sometimes targeted you. However, you don't seem to be very gregarious..."
There is nothing special about Kosugi Fusui's experience in the ninja school, except that he has classmates all over the world, which is indeed very unparalleled.
There seemed to be some people he could talk to, but he had almost no real friends. Naturally, there was no one with whom he could whisper and talk about scandals and gossip.
It seems that the maverick young governor also missed some stories that might happen, but...
"I have even forgotten the grudge between Xiao Haizi!"
"Your daughter is really well-behaved and sensible, and her mother, the red-haired waiter, is also very beautiful. I didn't expect you to like this. The green fruits of the ninja school are really not to your taste..."
"Don't make it sound like I went all the way to Konoha Village to study just to chase girls and start a harem."
The young governor pretended to be angry and complained,
"When did we become familiar enough to talk about such personal matters?"
"Don't be so open-minded!"
His big hands, stained with greasy sugar-water soup, slapped Gu Shanbu Shui's back mercilessly,
"Besides the mission, we are also friends who have tasted the delicious food of Konoha Village. Is there anything we can't say?"
Although she and Mitarashi Anko are quite familiar with each other, Fusugi Fusui still finds it difficult to adapt to her occasional over-enthusiasm, being "aggressive" at every turn, and saying misunderstood words depending on the occasion.
"You came here specifically, didn't you just want to catch up with old times? I will go to Konoha Village to watch the Chunin Examination later. There are plenty of opportunities. You don't need to chat in a place like this, which can easily cause gossip."
"I don't even care, what are you afraid of?"
If you keep saying you don't care, you really don't care. The Mitarai Anko whom Kosugi Bosui knows has no interest in lying about this kind of thing.
"I'm here to tell you that some contestants and tourists seem to have unusual identities..."
"I know that among them are bandits who commit all kinds of crimes and wanted traitor ninjas. Even though they are well hidden, the Gushan family's intelligence system is not just a decoration!"
Gu Shanbu Shui said clearly,
"There have been people like this before. In every 'King of Fighting' competition, there are always people like this who come back with new faces. Because of the restrictions on our position, we can't win them directly..."
"Do you want us to take action? There is still a large bounty after all!"
"No!"
In fact, the Gushanbu sailors already have a "must kill" list, waiting to be executed by the "Red Tide Forest" in the finals.
A world-destroying catastrophe cannot happen without bloodshed, so let these villains who have died long ago become sacrifices to embellish the success of this year's "King of Fighters" event.
