June 20th is Xianglin’s birthday. In this passionate season, Xianglin is about to cross the threshold of eight years old.
At this age, girls already have a clear understanding of gender differences. They will share some secrets with girls of the same age and discuss them with their mothers, but the possibility of discussing them with their fathers and grandfathers is extremely slim.
This is probably a common problem that fathers of daughters will encounter all over the world.
After being a strict father for less than three years, my daughter was about to grow up, which really caught me off guard.
"Fortunately, I still have Xiaohiira, Kagami and Tsukasa."
Fusugi Masaki dotingly hugged his second granddaughter who was focused on eating, and complained with a sour heart,
"If there are any problems now, Xianglin won't write to me secretly."
"Eh? You also had a secret relationship with her..."
Kosugi Masaki teased angrily,
"How come I haven't seen you treat me like this before, always siding with my mother and punishing my eccentricities?"
"You also know that is inappropriate. You are an only child, how can it be the same? It is impossible for me to object to your mother..."
"Okay. I finally understand. There is a reason why grandparents like the youngest children. When the grandchildren grow up and no longer rely on them, they have to 'empathize' with the younger children."
Gu Shan Bu Shui really didn't expect that his old father would have such a deep "daughter slave" plot. I'm afraid he was quite complaining about not being able to give birth to a girl and having only a son like Gu Shan Bu Shui.
"Obviously my family has prepared a big celebration, and I still have to spend it with my classmates on my birthday. Isn't it too disappointing, don't you worry?"
"It's not like I won't come back. I'll still be with my family at night."
Gu Shan Bu Shui admonished casually.
Because Hongye couldn't arrive in time, Xianglin was not very interested, so she got together with her friends during the day.
Xianglin also began to have her own ideas when it came to personal friendships and private matters. Many times, fathers and grandfathers are unable to intervene.
The two people who were talking gently shook their cattail fans to fan the three little guys.
The summer heat was getting stronger, and beads of sweat began to appear on the little daughter's body, which was wearing thin clothes.
Not only do they have to cool them down, but they also have to worry about mosquito bites. Don't think that everything will be fine before it gets dark. Earlier, Gu Shanbu Shui personally sprayed medicine to kill ticks, cleaned up water damage, and installed screens on the doors and windows, just to let his three daughters sleep peacefully.
Fortunately, Kagami and Tsukasa, who are a little weak in health, have been taken good care of recently and have not become acclimatized due to moving from the coastal Yuqi Island to the inland Konoha Village.
After all, they have inherited the blood of the Uzumaki clan. Even if they are born with deficiencies, the benefits brought by the fairy body can make them immune to many diseases.
After drinking up the special milk happily, Xiaoyong raised his eyes and looked around, but did not find the older sister Xianglin. She smacked her mouth inexplicably, turned over unsteadily, got down on all fours, and looked at Jing and Si. Climb over in the direction, staring with big eyes and small eyes, and humming a few words from time to time, and I don’t know what they are communicating.
"Xiaoyi is a child who has a strong desire for control and is very curious. I am afraid he will be much more naughty than Xianglin in the future."
Gushan Bushui watched the three sisters "interacting" with a smile and commented softly.
To a certain extent, Kohiira is a "winner" who grew up by plundering some of Kagami and Tsukasa's qualifications, and has even better potential than Xiang Rin.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Gushan Bushui believes that the current Xianglin is much more powerful and has better qualifications than the weak and wandering little girl in the original timeline.
"I'm wondering if the Gushan family bloodline also has some hidden characteristics."
"How to say?"
The old father was also quite curious about this issue. Historically, there were no Gushan tribesmen who were committed to improving their personal strength, but few of them went as far and as deeply as Gushan Bushui.
"Being upright, peaceful and stable are the distinctive characteristics of the Gushan tribe. For more than a thousand years, our tribe has had almost no serious genetic diseases. No matter which tribe's blood is mixed, there will be no conflict."
Of course, this "no conflict" does not mean that there will be no sequelae when the boundaries of the two blood lines merge, but that bad traits tend to disappear and good traits are more likely to appear.
If I have to give an evaluation, it would be an adaptive "good wife" bloodline. It may not have strong abilities on its own, but it can give wings to another bloodline to take off.
"Is this happening?"
Masaki Furugi patted aside Kohigi's fat hand that was playfully grabbing his beard and hair, and lovingly rubbed his chin with his fingers. The sensitive area was "attacked", and the little guy squinted his eyes comfortably and lay down. Grandfather’s thighs were bent to enjoy the coolness.
"Over the years, the Gushan clan has almost never produced a particularly stupid guy. Whether it is IQ or physical fitness, they are far above the average level. It's just because there are very few characters who are so talented and beautiful that they are famous in history, so It’s not very conspicuous. In essence, we are a family of geniuses comparable to Uchiha and Senju. We are incomparable to the top talents, and the average quality actually has a slight advantage."
Come and try it quickly. 】
"If you say that..."
Furugi Masaki nodded.
It is true that among the ancestors of Kosugi and the Daimyo's predecessors, there are some who are mavericks, and there are also some who do absurd things, but there are almost no people who are truly evaluated as stupid people, which is very scary.
You know, even for the famous Uchiha clan, those who turn on the Sharingan and become jounin only account for one-tenth of the clan members who embark on the path of ninja.
"The lower limit for the head of the Gushan family is indeed very high."
Of course, not everyone is wiser, and there are also fluctuations in ability.
"but……"
Gu Shan Bu Shui said very calmly,
"There is still something to be learned from counting the actions of clan members over the generations. Positive attributes such as kindness, bravery, and perseverance seem to boost the strength of the Gushan clan. The more they fit together, the more inexplicable 'destiny' is involved. "
The chakra reincarnations of Asura and Indra have been trendsetters in the past, and Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto are the sons of destiny who determine the direction of the world.
However, until the "key players" emerge to turn the gears of destiny, the world still has to move, and some hidden forces are still at work.
To a certain extent, the Daimyo and the Kosugi clan do have a sense of being "ordained by heaven". They are born with a certain destiny. As long as they follow the trend, they can get twice the result with half the effort, and they will be unfavorable.
However, this kind of "fate's care" does not have an immediate effect like that of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.
"What you mentioned has been investigated by several magistrates, but there are no conclusive findings. Just as we know that every few years, there will be one or two mass suicides on the east coast where a large number of whales wash up on the beach, become stranded and die. It has become a worldwide curiosity, but no one knows why this happened.”
Of course, it can be explained by saying that the evil will not suppress the good, the right will be helped by many people, and the wrong will be helped little, and the one who wins the hearts of the people will win the world, but this also cannot make Gu Shan Bu Shui feel at ease.
"This world is neither upright nor kind, and is ugly in many places, but it is spiritual and encourages all good qualities including integrity, kindness, courage, and perseverance. In other words, love and peace are real. Endogenous power exists. I can't be sure whether this is given by the world, or whether it is the collective will formed by the collective desire of mankind, the primate of all things. In short, good deeds are rewarded, and it really has practical significance, especially for us This is even more true for the Gushan family."
The descendants of "Momotaro" seem to be born with some authority over fate. As long as they follow the ancient cedar path recorded in the family tree and family rules, they will be blessed with a halo of gain.
This benefit is not very obvious at ordinary times, but over time, the benefits to the tribe will be extremely considerable.
In the past, few of the core members of the Gushan tribe were focused on taking the path of "bringing great power to themselves". As Gushan Bu Shui became stronger and stronger, and even controlled the natural spirit of Master Haifang to pretend to be the "god of rivers", we can even realize that nature A part of the energy is cheering for the revival of some ancient power.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of hidden benefit can at best allow the Gushan tribe to enjoy prosperity and wealth, but for Gushan Bu Shui, Xiang Lin and others, it is different.
This is very obvious in the energetic Xiao Hiiragi. Kagami and Tsukasa, as parasitic fetuses, were able to survive a near-death environment and endure until Gusugi Bushui changed their fate against the will of heaven. This is not something ordinary blood can do. things to do.
"Except for not being able to become a Konoha ninja, my luck has always been very good since I was a child. Everything I do goes relatively smoothly. There are very few obstacles that I can't overcome. Even if there are difficulties, I will survive. , passed with no danger.”
If he hadn't known that this era belonged to Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, Kosugi Fusui would have doubted whether he had usurped destiny and became a key figure in determining the future of the world.
Even if it's the matter of disciplining my cousin, if you look at it from another angle, it's a desperate attempt to survive. According to his arrangement, it is absolutely impossible to succeed, and it is even very likely that the family will be destroyed. However, after being kept in cold storage for so many years, he has become much more mature, and he has also met a junior like Gu Shan Bushui. Looking at the problem from another level, is there any hope of realizing his ideal in a curved line?
"You want to say that our family is the embodiment of justice, and as long as we obey God and do justice for God, we can enjoy peace?"
Kosugi Masaki sneered and said,
"You can think so, but don't expect too much."
"I know that I won't place my hopes on the illusory fate. But I just want to have peace of mind and a clear conscience. The Senju are in a state of collapse without the first Hokage. The Uchiha place too much emphasis on the Sharingan, and they are almost annihilated. Hinata I have become a slave bound by the white eyes. Let alone fate, even if I am the child of destiny, I have to consider whether to listen to it. "
People who are as proud as Gu Shan Bu Shui will take advantage of all favorable conditions to achieve their goals, but they will never become a tool driven by current events.
…
At the same time, the second test of the Chunin Examination has lasted for a day and a half. In two or three days, the candidates for the third test will be decided. While several senior teachers are busy preparing for the competition in the Death Forest, Xiang Linzheng and a few friends are practicing their embossing skills.
"It doesn't seem like he's very enthusiastic."
Yamanaka Ino poked Xiang Rin's waist with her elbow and asked with a smile,
"Today is your birthday, you should be happy."
"My mother's liner was delayed due to strong winds, so she may not be able to make it today. It's a pity."
"Your father and grandfather are not here, they will always make arrangements, right?"
"Um."
Xianglin lazily held up her chin and responded slightly vaguely,
"There are a lot of preparations, but my mother is not here and I can't go on."
Last year's birthday party, Xianglin invited many classmates to have a party together, which was quite lively. This year's situation was special and the preparation time was limited. There was no grand party and it was just a private celebration for the family.
In fact, it's no wonder Hongye made a mistake. Some things cannot be undone by humans. Because he started late, Hongye had also practiced some basic ninjutsu, but he was far behind the formal ninja. He could not ignore the influence of harsh natural conditions.
On days when a typhoon passes through, not to mention ordinary people, even ninjas dare not walk through the huge waves on the sea.
"In life, there are many unsatisfactory things. You are also eight years old, so you should be considerate of your parents' difficulties."
The elder Kurama Yakumo flicked the embossed work in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
"Last time I saw Uzumaki Naruto celebrating his birthday by eating snacks alone. There wasn't even anyone celebrating."
"He..."
Xianglin couldn't laugh or cry when she mentioned that blond kid.
"He said he wanted to prepare a great birthday gift for me and then become my disciple. I don't know what's going on lately."
That noisy guy actually didn't have a very good relationship with his classmates. Inuzuka Kiba, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji occasionally played together, which was considered a "comradeship" cultivated by skipping classes.
It was still early to leave the dessert shop to get cakes. Several girls were talking and laughing to pass the time. The battle in the forest of death was already heating up. Sarutobi Asuma, who received the request for help, shuttled through the area with two chuunin. In the tall and dense forest, several candidates who had lost mobility were rescued from time to time.
Except for two serious injuries, there were no serious injuries.
There are more candidates this year. One hundred and five people entered the second examination, but no more than ten were left to advance to the third examination. Ninety percent of the candidates will be eliminated. The selection is really strict.
"This year's Konoha candidates don't seem to have any outstanding candidates."
During the interval of search and rescue, Sarutobi Asuma stood on the treetop, lit a cigarette, and talked nonchalantly.
Outstanding children were promoted to chuunin in the past two years. These two years were considered to be a lean year. There were some ninjas who were decent characters, but very few with special skills.
Konoha Village is known as the cradle of geniuses, and it is not every year that powerful genin take part in the chunin exams.
The performance of Sun Ninja and Mist Ninja was not very good, but from time to time, candidates from small ninja villages like Grass Ninja, Rain Ninja and Star Ninja stood out.
"Chakra is gathering over there, and there seems to be a large-scale melee. Go over and have a look..."
