By the time Gushan Bushui returned home, it was already late.
As the end of the semester approaches, Xianglin also wants to get good results in the final test and summarize her first academic year.
At such a young age, not only do you have to work hard on Ninjutsu training, but you also have to take into account theoretical knowledge, which is really hard for a little girl over six years old.
As more and more relatives of the Furusugi family stayed in Konoha Village, Momiji and Xianglin's mother and daughter, live-in nannies, Yuhuo who was later dispatched, and Furusugi Bosui who occasionally stayed overnight, the original small Western-style house seemed too small. .
After annexing several nearby pieces of land at a high price and converting them into a loft with a small yard, the narrow residence finally seemed spacious.
In the middle of the small courtyard, there are stone tables and chairs and a small pavilion that is simply supported by a wooden shed. The ancient cedar Bu Shui pauses here after entering, listening to the sound of waves caused by the occasional fish swishing its tail, raising his head slightly and looking at the bright moon. The stars appear a bit sparse below.
I don’t know how long it took, but light footsteps came from far away, and Hongye, who coaxed Xianglin to sleep, came over.
"Getting together with old friends, until now?"
"It's gone long ago. I just smell of alcohol. I wandered outside for a while and the smell dissipated before I came back."
There are many magical secret techniques in the ninja world, and there are also ways to quickly sober up, but it's just troublesome to compare the prices.
Fusugi Fusui's drinking capacity is slightly worse than that of Yuhihi Kurenai and Mitarashi Anko, but her ability to cheat is far better than that of two female ninjas who have never seen a battle of wits and courage in a social situation.
Since he has the secret technique to enhance his sense of smell, he can finely control the body's state. By micro-manipulating pheromones inside and outside the body, Gu Shan Bu Shui can enhance his abilities in certain aspects without anyone noticing.
For example, it accelerates the secretion of alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, allowing alcohol to be metabolized quickly; it accelerates blood circulation and is directly eliminated from the body through breathing and urination.
The former requires a lot of chakra consumption, and you may not be able to control it well when you are drunk; the latter has no side effects, it is simple and straightforward, but you will have an unpleasant smell for a long time.
"This won't happen for a while. Are you afraid that Xianglin will smell it?"
"How do normal people like to be surrounded by people who smell like alcohol? Even I feel a little uncomfortable..."
Especially when the super olfactory perception is turned on, metabolism is accelerated, and the body circulation is detoxified as soon as possible. When the body returns to normal, clothes stained with odor are stuck to the skin, and they wish they could not come out after soaking in the hot spring water.
That's right, before Gushan Bushui returned home, he went to Mingshen Pavilion to take a shower and changed his clothes before returning.
"The little one was planning to let her father guide her in her training. After waiting for a long time, she couldn't bear to come back and fell asleep. She seems very tired these days. Ninja training is not easy. She has to work so hard at such a young age..."
"If you don't have talent, you have to work hard to make up for your lack of talent; if you have good qualifications, you have to work harder to live up to what you have learned."
Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled and said,
"Of course, Xianglin is still young, and it is the time to lay the foundation. There is no need to overdraw her physical and mental potential in exchange for temporary progress. It is not a good thing to mature too early. After the holidays, take her to travel around the country to see the great things. Rivers and mountains are also good for cultivating sentiments, don't limit your sights to just one corner. Konoha Village is a good place, but compared to the entire ninja world, it is still too small."
"All right!"
He has been inside the Furusugi family since he was born, and it was not until he was arranged by Fushui Bushui to come to Konoha Village to study that he had the opportunity to see the outside world.
After all, he is just a child. The common sense he learned from books and picture books is not intuitive after he has not experienced it himself.
"It's rare to get together with an old classmate. The young master is in a very average mood. What happened?"
"It's nothing, just an ordinary get-together. I was just shown love and then rejected."
"Isn't this a good thing? It proves that the young master is amazingly charming. Why do you look unhappy and regret it?"
"The identity is wrong and the time is not ripe. The Gusugi clan is different from the Konoha ninjas."
After exchanging a few words, Hongye sighed slightly:
"Young Master has many worries."
"The main reason is that the other person is not good enough for me to give up everything I have and live with her. Family background, appearance, figure, talent and potential, personality compatibility, etc., and then consider the negative impact of being close to her. Overall, the price/performance ratio is too low..."
"The young master is also quite ruthless and measures his sincere feelings with interests."
"What's wrong with this?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui spread his hands,
"When we talk about love, if we don't have feelings, we have to talk about interests. As for whether we will be in love for a long time in the future, that is a matter for the future. It is too early to talk about it now."
After chuckling a few times, Hongye, who was very satisfied, changed the subject and said:
"The young master seems to have a deep prejudice against the Leaf Village. Do you have to distinguish right from wrong?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui thought for a while and then replied:
"We, the great nobles, are getting along quite harmoniously with the Ninja Village, and our cooperation in the past has been quite pleasant. However, things in the world are fickle, and we cannot turn a blind eye like this forever."
The establishment of the one-village-one-country system has just reached the fifty-fourth year. Compared with the nearly thousand years of history of the Gusugi clan, it is really too short.
The Daimyo and the Hokage are like two ends of a seesaw. They can still play one after another, but one day, the weight of the ninja village will be so heavy that the nobles can no longer support it.
At that time, either one side will crush or annex the other side, or the strong one will change its approach and play its own game.
Fifty-four years is too short. Among the milestone events in previous lives, it took nearly half a century to determine the winner of the Cold War. The French Revolution also lasted forty years, with many repetitions. There are many other examples.
Important historical changes occur in cycles of decades or even hundreds of years. It has only been fifty-four years since the end of the Warring States Period in the ninja world, and the competition between the Hokage and the daimyo for "jade" has never stopped.
The current seemingly stable situation, I don’t know how long it can last, but...
"No matter what happens in the future, even if the wheels of history roll over, we, the decadent nobles, must survive and change, and it must be me who takes the lead. We must not passively adapt to this new world. Even if I and my subordinates become extremely powerful in the future, , and it is impossible to really control everything by force."
In short, we must take the initiative.
When it comes to having to cut off your feet to fit the shoes, endure the pain and cut off your flesh to serve the new master, and survive under the new rules, then there is really no hope.
Of course, if you really master the power that is close to that of a god, some things will be easier to handle.
Hongye listened quietly to Gushan Bushui describing the problems he was facing now and his goals. After a long time, he smiled and encouraged:
"Although I don't understand it very well, it sounds very powerful. Xianglin and I will try our best not to cause trouble to the young master. If there is anyone who can help, please don't be polite..."
"Yes. As a family, we will naturally share weal and woe."
To politely say that I can't help is also a humble excuse. Without the unique bloodline secret technique of the Uzumaki tribe - Kagura Mind's Eye, Furugi Bosui would not know the locations of Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, Shimura Danzo and others, and even be able to attack at critical moments to capture Uchiha Shisui's body.
…
In the Kingdom of Sichuan, several figures wearing long robes and hoods to protect themselves from the wind gathered together on a small hill.
"I still don't have a clue about what the young master asked me to do. If I continue like this, I won't be able to explain it."
Leading a team of elites here, Yasukawa Zaihara, who is looking for the special talents that Gusugi Bosui wants, a genius child with blood inheritance limit - red eyes, feels guilty for impulsively volunteering to come to this humid country to perform a mission. Some regret.
Although the total number of people in the Kingdom of Sichuan is not large, it is very large, sparsely populated, with high mountains and dense forests, and transportation is inconvenient. It is really difficult to find a specific person here.
The trouble is, the description given to Ranwan by Fushibu Shui is not very detailed. He only knows that he is near the Sorrel Golden Mountain and is frail and sick, with purple hair and red eyes.
For the rest, there is no accurate information.
Just when Yasukawa Zaiyuan was in a bad mood, a young man in white robe approached quickly and arrived panting.
"It's too slow. I actually missed the agreed time for information exchange."
"Sorry, Commander, there was a sudden mudslide on the road, and we were delayed by taking a detour..."
After the visitor took a few breaths, he solemnly reported,
"My subordinates have learned something. I was originally investigating several nearby settlements. I passed by a small village and saw a wedding banquet being held there. It turned out that a family of hunters gave birth to a baby girl and they were celebrating..."
"Wait, you mean..."
Yasukawa Zaiyuan's heart brightened,
"Perhaps the person we are looking for is too young, rarely goes out, and doesn't even have a formal name, so we can't find him?"
"That's it. My subordinates arranged for people to investigate the newborns in several nearby villages and identified a dozen possible targets."
"found it?"
"Before it was implemented, it was time for regular reporting, so it was delayed until now. In addition, I have too few informants. If I want to speed up the process, I need management support."
There was no reason why Yasukawa Zaihara would not agree to a reasonable request.
Three days later, Yasukawa Zaihara led a group of subordinates to a farm at the foot of a mountain. Far away from the villagers' settlement, in the corner of the bare rocky mountain, there was a thatched house that seemed to be about to be blown down by the wind. He looked at the man nesting alone at home. child.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Judging from his appearance, he is still at the age of Yiyaxueyu.
"According to nearby villagers, this child is a few months shy of three years old. Half a year ago, his parents died in an accident, leaving this poor child behind. Everyone calls him Ranmaru, but I heard his parents call him that before. Yes. It’s not clear even if there is no mispronunciation due to accent, and no one knows his real name. He is able to survive until now because kind-hearted people see him as pitiful and often bring him some food to feed him.”
Sickly?
There is no one to take care of you. If you live alone in such a ghost place, it would be good if you are not bitten to death by snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
This is a child with tenacious vitality. The selfless help of kind-hearted villagers nearby also improved his survival rate a lot.
As for the fact that most of the valuable things such as furniture and belongings originally displayed in the home have disappeared, this is a trivial matter. If you lose your external possessions, you can earn them again, but it is all over when you die.
Of course, there is another reason that cannot be ignored, which is that his parents died in the spring. It is early winter now. The country of Sichuan is located in the south and the climate is relatively mild. Even a child who has no food and clothing will not freeze to death on the thatch that leaks everywhere. inside the house.
"Are there any other possible candidates?"
no answer.
Yasukawa Zaihara sighed, stepped forward to pick up the child known as "Ranwan", and looked at his wide eyes, dark orange eyes, dark holes, with a hint of ruddy in the middle, like the brilliance of the setting sun. Light shines.
"It should be him." 』
This is a very delicate boy, with shoulder-length purple hair, which is a bit messy, and the stained face cannot hide his delicate appearance.
The villagers who came to take care of the poor child took good care of him. As for why they didn't adopt him.
Looking at the almost identical poverty all around, and the hardship of not knowing when they will die in the mountains, you can understand how difficult it is for them to feed a child.
Can’t ask too much of less selfless, but vital kindness.
"Anyway, he is still alive. It is a blessing to be discovered by us before the cold winter is approaching. Ask the villagers if they have any relatives of his. If so, give them a 'Volunteer Training' subsidy and sign an agreement. , if not, discuss with the village chief and donate a batch of food supplies..."
These important children who were specially asked by Gushan Bushui to be retrieved were not bought back to serve as servants, but truly geniuses who would be specially trained and would most likely become colleagues in the future.
Therefore, it is necessary to clean the tail of your hands and not have any worries.
Holding this ignorant child in his arms, Yasukawa Zaihara immediately led the escort team to evacuate, came to the beach, took the speedboat that had been arranged long ago, and headed for Yuqi Island in the Country of Fire.
At the same time, in the southern border of the Kingdom of Sichuan, Black Hoe Thunder Fang held thunder knives in both hands, raising them high above his head, attracting the thunder from the sky, roaring down, and landing on the rippling blue sea.
I saw bright silver arcs spreading along the sea water, making the black figure hiding under the water extremely uncomfortable with the electricity.
Fortunately, these mermaids who were specially sent here as bait are not just ordinary people. They drove the huge group of killer whales to exert force in one direction, setting off waves of waves and crashing towards them, blocking the second thunderbolt and preventing it from being cast away. Minusui hit Black Hoe Thunder Fang.
Naturally, the seven dignified Ninja Swordsmen would not be knocked down by this attack, but there were many enemies underwater, and they shamelessly adopted wheel tactics. The front row was injured and was immediately dragged away, and the back row picked them up.
The attack power of Thunder Release is not bad, especially since it can spread along the sea water. In this environment, the paralysis effect is very significant.
However, wide spread means that the power is not concentrated. Many underwater attackers were injured, but no one was seriously injured or even died.
After several attacks, Black Hoe Lei Ya spent a lot of money, and he realized that if he continued like this, he would not be able to achieve the key results.
He looked at the rain clouds in the sky and wondered if he could use a big trick to stun a few sneaky men. The prisoners came to torture them for information. After fighting for so long, they couldn't even figure out why the conflict happened. It was really embarrassing.
