Hearing Sarutobi Asuma's doubts, Kosugi Fusui was not surprised and responded with a very calm smile:
"You are a fine young man with a thick body and a fine body. You look carefree, but you actually have a lot of talent."
"So you admit it?"
"What are you admitting, poaching the Leaf Village? Don't be stupid! How many ninjas in the Land of Fire have no relationship with the Leaf Village? Except for the famous "Blood Mist", you are the one who has the most rebellious ninjas. And each one is bigger than the other. "
Gu Shanbu Shui, who sneered, waved his hand gently to signal the other party to stay calm.
"A lot of things happened in the past, and the Daimyo and the Hokage are aware of it. Our Fusagi family will definitely not dig our own graves, and you Konoha ninjas shouldn't think that you are the overlord of the ninja world and ignore other people. Here, everything is treated as an exclusive property as a matter of course.”
"What do you mean?"
"Let me tell you something you don't know. Most of the sealing techniques, barrier techniques, and tailed beast inheritances in Konoha Village were brought over by Princess Mito and Uzumaki Kushina. They are considered "dowry" and the man cannot control them. Only their children have the right to inherit. More than twenty years ago, Konoha Village refused to save the Country of Whirlpool, and then..."
Gu Shan Bu Shui spread his hands exaggeratedly,
"All your "natal family" are gone, so you just take all the inheritance as your own, bully orphans and widows, and raise the son of a hero who saved the village as a monster. You really treat everyone as a monster. blind? "
"You...are talking nonsense."
"I won't argue with you about the truth or falsehood of these things, I only look at the results. Uzumaki Naruto is my daughter's classmate, how could he not pay attention to it? After the Yondaime and Uzumaki Kushina died in the battle, how is he doing? I don't need him. Say it, everyone can see it. Besides..."
After a pause, Gu Shanbu Shui lowered his voice and asked with a hint of sarcasm:
"The Fire Release Ninjutsu disclosed in Konoha Village, and even the origin of the entire ninja world, almost all come from the Uchiha family. It has to be said that Senju and Uchiha are indeed talented people, and the essence of the two families has laid the foundation for the overlord of the ninja world. As a result, This is how you treat heroes and elders. Killing so many of them is so cruel!"
"That's Uchiha Itachi..."
"Don't be stupid. Just deceive outsiders. Do you think I am someone who can be fooled easily?"
Glancing disdainfully at Sarutobi Asuma, who had a reddish complexion, Kosugi Fusui raised his calves and concluded playfully,
"After being the guardian nin of the daimyo for several years, even if I give up the war on the so-called "Tama", I should understand how stupid it is to judge a great noble like us from a superficial standpoint. As for those "righteous people" who support the reconstruction of the Country of Uzumaki, they have never belonged to the Leaf Village, and they were not deceived by me through some despicable means. They are serious subjects of the Country of Uzumaki. "
Sarutobi Asuma, who was slightly annoyed by what he said, was silent for a moment, then suppressed his unhappy mood and said:
"I made a mistake, please forgive me."
Gu Shan Bu Shui revealed this issue nonchalantly:
"Setting up old scores actually requires courage. Your father's ability to secure the position of Hokage lies in his ability to accept the reality, base himself on the present, and be down-to-earth. If you lose in "The Darkness of the Ninja World", you will lose because you ask too much and ignore the reality. , want to get everything; the Uchiha family's downfall stemmed from not being able to recognize reality and misestimating their own strength. "
"Okay, finally I have a question. Since you are so strong, why didn't you just take action during the Ninja World War? If there was such a fresh force, I'm afraid the war would have ended a few years earlier, and many innocent people would have survived."
"You will understand when you become Hokage, now..."
Gu Shanbu Shui, who was a little impatient, shook his head slightly.
"Tell the Sandaime truthfully, there are some things that should not be discussed by you..."
"Why? I am a messenger with full authority..."
"If you hope to become the fifth or sixth generation Hokage, I think we still have something in common. Now, it's not appropriate."
There is a big difference between an envoy and an envoy. If Kakashi Hatake comes in person, or if it is Shikaku Nara who is not easy to fool, Furugi Fusui also
Will say a few more words.
The so-called Ninja World War is actually a battle between five villages. In essence, it is another level of "Chūnin Examination". As long as one great ninja village does not destroy another great ninja village, the five major nations will not end in person.
In the Ninja World War, the established rules include not extending the war to ordinary civilians. Although various manslaughters and secondary disasters still seriously affect the livelihood of ordinary people, at least on the surface they still have to abide by it, and the ninjas do not He is willing to completely destroy the world he lives on, otherwise, even if he wins the Ninja World War, there will be no spoils to harvest.
The strong Ninja Village is good for the big countries, but it is not absolute. Kirigakure Village is quite strong, but the Kingdom of Water is indeed far behind the other four big countries.
No matter how strong Konoha Village is, can it help the Daimyo of Fire Country unify the entire ninja world?
The ninja wars fought time after time have not changed the existing structure of the ninja world. The order of one village and one country has been established for more than fifty years, but it still has its historical inertia.
The ninjas fought back and forth, resulting in heavy casualties. In fact, the impact on the noble group headed by the daimyo was not that great. The conflict of interests between the ninja villages had a great impact on the balance of power between the great powers, but the interests of the two and The positions are not entirely consistent.
The status of ninjas has always been ordinary, and it is not without reason that many wealthy people regard them as tools that can be summoned and taken away at the same time. Expecting the Daimyo and the Furusugi family to fight against powerful enemies for the Leaf Village, even the Hokage with any brain would not think so.
After sending away the young, energetic and somewhat naive Sarutobi Asuma, Kosugi Bosui drank warm plum wine to relieve his fatigue.
The side effects of the Uchiha family's annihilation are about to appear. The dominance of Konoha Village has declined, and the Kumo ninja's temptations have become more and more frequent. It is not enough for Fangtu and a few masters to preside over the overall situation. It must be seen by those who are ready to take action. The Kosugi family's determination to rebuild the Uzumaki Country cannot be doubted.
Of course, what he said to Sarutobi Asuma was just to scare him. The Uzumaki family was re-established, and he would not ask for the treasures "stored" in Konoha Village, such as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki and forbidden techniques. See Be open and don't hold too many good things if you are not strong enough. Otherwise, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing.
Randomly looking through the various progress reports sent over by Jiangtu, Gu Shanbu Shui was also quite satisfied. It was considered good to be able to support a country in more than half a year.
Just when he was busy, there was a knock on the door of the study. Without waiting for an answer, a figure walked in without permission.
Gu Shan Bu Shui's heart trembled and he looked at the person coming.
Although he has an appearance in his thirties, his demeanor and demeanor show a lot of fatigue. Some people believe that he is in his forties. She has medium-length hair that is slightly messy and neatly combed on the back of her head.
At a glance, Gu Shan Bu Shui knew that this person was definitely either rich or noble. He had the kind of arrogance that can be cultivated only when he is pampered, bossy, and powerful. He couldn't even suppress his abject demeanor.
However, it seemed a bit familiar, especially the face and eyebrows. Gushan Bushui felt that he would look similar ten or twenty years later.
"Who are you……"
"Xiao Bu Shui, don't you recognize me? It's been a long time."
"Cousin Zhiji?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui was also very surprised when he vaguely saw some traces of the past.
"It's true that I hugged you back then and talked to you a lot. When I see you, it feels like the high-spirited me back then is right in front of you."
"Huh? Sorry, the reunion was too sudden. I didn't know how to deal with it for a while."
The appearance of this heir of the previous generation of Gushan family who was deprived of inheritance rights in his early years and was imprisoned unknown where he was has almost disappeared from Gushan Bushui's mind.
Occasionally, Gu Shan Bu Shui would tease this relative for being too impulsive, playing a good hand of cards badly, and losing everything in the end. But in fact, he still respected this kind of idealistic person.
Because I don’t have one myself, I particularly look forward to people with noble character.
Although my cousin's discipline is really rough, I don't blame him. He is a passionate young man who is dedicated to doing big things and making a name for himself in history. It's not surprising that he is easily incited. He has insufficient knowledge and no effective helpers. He can only rely on a temporary
It is inevitable to be impulsive and hit your head with blood.
After thousands of years of baptism of blood and fire during the Warring States Period, only a few decades of peace were achieved, which was not enough for a radical top-down reform to gain a solid mass base.
Let the right person do the right thing at the right time. All three are indispensable, otherwise it will be a tragedy.
"I hesitated for a long time before I decided to come and see you. I have been holding on to some things in my heart for a long time, so I need to have a good chat with you."
"From your tone, it seems that you have been freed a long time ago. How come I don't know about it? The old man never mentioned it to me..."
"It didn't take long. Two years after your daughter Kaoru was born, I was lifted from the restrictions. Except that I couldn't leave the confines of Inaba's old country, there were no taboos."
"Then... why don't you come back to us?"
"So what if we meet? What happened back then, I caused a lot of people to end up unhappy. I'm really speechless."
"Grandpa and mother actually don't have any prejudices. After all, they are a family. They are just concerned about everyone's dignity, so they behave like this."
"I know, I know, so for so many years, I rarely show my face, turning a blind eye and pretending not to know. If we really meet, some people will still be very embarrassed."
"well!"
The young family governor sighed slightly and asked the former prospective family governor,
"You can come anytime. As long as I'm at home, I'm still very free. My mother and father do all the troublesome social activities and superficial work that doesn't provide much nutrition."
"My cousin and my cousin-in-law are both prudent people, so you can be lazy."
Cousin Zhiji, who was sitting opposite, poured himself a cup of tea very naturally, moistened his throat, and said seriously,
"Back to the subject! I have been silently watching what my family is doing these years. I originally had some thoughts, but now I am increasingly confused about where Gushan... is going. Recently, I have made a guess that what you are doing, It’s actually similar to what I want to do, but the process and results are very different.”
"No, I'm not as noble as you, cousin. I just do a little bit of what I can when I have spare energy..."
"Then, little things add up, and the changes become more and more obvious, right? And it doesn't cause much backlash, and many people are even willing to follow. If I can do this, I'm afraid everyone will not desert me."
"Cousin Zhiji, the biggest difference between you and me is not the means, but the purpose. I think what really makes you fail is the inherent pride and arrogance of our family. Maybe everything you do is For the good of others, you may even sacrifice yourself to help others. However, in my opinion, this is just to satisfy your personal sense of accomplishment in realizing the value of life. If nothing else, you have asked those who have benefited from your reforms , are you sincerely willing to accept it? The greatest tragedy in this world is to do things for self-satisfaction under the banner of doing good for others, without caring whether others can tolerate it or not."
"You mean, they are unwilling? How is this possible? The reform is obviously to improve their status and make their lives more valuable."
"How many people stood by you when you were knocked down? Don't kid yourself!"
Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled very frankly,
"Imposed favors and imposed oppression are both unbearable burdens. So I never do thankless things."
"If you don't do thankless things, then..."
After a little thought, Zhi Ji will understand.
"Those things that are effortless and those that are thankless will depend on your mood. Don't put yourself in a position of suspicion, and don't charge into battle yourself, right?"
"Be a person first and then do things. Take care of your family first and then everyone else. Don't get the order wrong. I have such a high level of consciousness, so I am more friendly to the people."
"I see."
Uncle Zhiji suddenly realized,
"You are becoming Dharma and scolding me for being separated from the masses and cutting myself off from the people. How can a tree without roots or water without a source achieve anything? You are right."
Mentioning some old things, the former young family governor was also filled with tears.
Two hours later, my face turned slightly
Zhiji, who was slightly rosy, said goodbye to Gushan Bu Shui and came to a side living room, where Gushan Zhengcheng had been waiting for a long time.
"Why are you here? We are having such a good conversation?"
"It doesn't count. My nephew is even more arrogant than I was back then, even though he hides it very well."
"Anything gained?"
Kosugi Masaki put down his tea cup and asked curiously,
"My father-in-law said back then that you are the smartest person in our family in more than a hundred years. However, it is easy to be smart and misunderstood."
"Actually, that's all. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been wasted so many years. However, brother-in-law, this son, as long as he doesn't cause trouble in the future, if something does happen, I'm afraid Gu Shan... and even the entire Fire Country will not be able to survive."
"The stronger your ability, the more outstanding your ability to poke people. I understand this."
The old father said as expected,
"I just learned a few days ago that that guy was so bold that he actually interfered in the internal affairs of Konoha Village and set a fire..."
"Konoha Village... Uchiha?"
Cousin Zhiji, who had been deprived of the Fusagi family name, was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
"That's understandable. He is not someone who is prone to impulsive risks, but once he encounters a suitable opportunity, he will never hesitate. I feel that I did the right thing by coming back this time. There are many things to do, so I won't waste the rest of my life."
