After pushing aside the crowd of onlookers, Major Fusugi and Mei Terumi, who were pushing a stroller, walked to the front and saw two groups of drunkards getting ready to fight.
The Konoha villagers who have received ninja education are different. Even when they are drunk, their starting moves are still decent. There are five people on one side and three on the other. If they disagree, they will take action. The people nearby were also looking at the joke. Not only did they not stop the fight, but they encouraged both parties to start quickly.
Terumi Mei asked strangely:
"It was not like this when I came here last time. How did the villagers of Konoha become like this?"
Gu Shan Bu Shui curled his lips and replied nonchalantly:
"Get used to it. Since the security department led by the Uchiha family disappeared, the security of Konoha Village has been difficult to describe. These days, everyone has probably suppressed a lot of negative emotions in their hearts and needs a channel to vent. There is a serious shortage of manpower, Konoha Ninjas can't control things too finely. They only control the general direction, but the details are much careless. As long as it doesn't affect the overall situation, they don't care too much."
Criminals who endanger public safety must be prevented in advance. For innocuous minor conflicts, the patrol team to maintain public security is always a step late.
On the eve of the third Chunin Examination, there were so many tourists in the village that it was impossible to investigate everyone's accurate information in detail.
The two parties in front of me should be neighbors who looked up and looked down. They were usually a bit stumbling, but this was not the first time they got into a fight under the influence of alcohol.
In the past half month, Gusugi Bushui had seen four or five fights in the street. In the end, they were all taken away by the Konoha ninjas without causing any trouble.
"As long as you want to control it, there is nothing you can't control, but..."
Terumi Mei hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Due to certain considerations, it is appropriate to relax restrictions appropriately. Society needs to maintain a certain degree of vitality and cannot suppress all variables.
Sure enough, the ensuing drunken fight was a farce. Ten minutes later, a patrol with ninja dogs, blowing whistles, dispersed the crowd of onlookers and took away the drunken man who fell to the ground.
"Simple folk!"
"It must be the strong folk customs."
Terumi Mei retorted with disapproval,
"Ninja is not a gentle profession in the first place. It requires fierce energy. There are very few scenes like this in Kirigakure Village. It's not because they don't go crazy with alcohol, but because they can't afford to drink it. Even if it's sour and bad wine, many people can't afford it. rise……"
The tourists were still talking about everyone just now, commenting on whose trick was more obscene and effective, but the two adults and three children had already walked away.
Gu Shan Bu Shui wiped the scratch on Xiao Hiiragi's chin and complained angrily:
"Why are you drooling when you see a group of old men drinking too much and going crazy? Are you actually interested in this at such a young age?"
Although he didn't understand what his father was talking about, the little guy seemed to be aware of the emotion in his voice. He gestured unconvincedly and made emojis in his mouth. He didn't know what he was talking about. He seemed to be still not relieved. He held his hands with a pair of little hands. On the edge of the stroller, he struggled to stand up and looked up at Gushan Bushui, as if he wanted to reason.
"I don't know if I follow you to learn from him. He grows up quickly, and his mind grows even faster."
He held the little guy's arm, lifted it up, and straddled his neck. The angle of view was raised, looking higher and farther. It seemed that the dissatisfaction was relieved, and then it stopped. The palms covered with melted marshmallows and saliva were wetly placed on the top of the father's head, making the young family governor couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"You can say that I am a bit mysophobic. If someone else were so rude, I would have slapped you on my face."
It’s my first time to take care of a child like this. It’s really annoying. Not only is there a lot to do, but it’s also very dirty. Don’t just look at the photos. Every child looks like a little angel. They poop and pee a lot. What they do most every day is changing diapers. Wipe your butt, wipe your hands, wipe your mouth, do the laundry.
Fortunately, Major Governor Gushan's family has a big business, and there are many nannies and maids to serve them. There are not many times when they really have to do it themselves.
However, you can't leave everything to others. No, in order to deepen the relationship between father and daughter, it is rare to go out for a walk. After only an hour or two, Gu Shanbu Shui felt exhausted.
Seeing their sister standing tall and humming something happily, Kagami and Tsukasa also became restless. Unfortunately, with their weak limbs, they couldn't move like Xiaohiira.
"Eat in peace."
He casually stuffed two pieces of wave candy and let the two little guys lick it slowly. Finally, he was comforted. Gu Shan Bu Shui sighed slightly.
"I don't know when my mother and sister will come back..."
Over the years, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of close relatives of the Furugi family have almost all been customized. Although Konoha Village has kept up with the fashion, it is still lagging behind.
"I thought that when nobles like you buy things, they just reserve the place directly."
"No way. In addition to the formal attire and work clothes, there are also attire for various occasions. The master certainly doesn't have to worry about these. They are all handled by the housekeeper and servants. However, Xianglin still needs to keep a low profile in the ninja school. It’s not good to wear red robes all year round.”
Low-key luxury is still luxury after all. Not everyone understands that it is too unique and easy to be isolated. Xianglin came to Konoha Village to study not only to learn skills, but also to establish her own social network and lay the foundation for her future life.
"Besides, shopping focuses on 'shopping'. What you enjoy is the atmosphere and pleasure, not just for buying things. Even in Konoha Village, when it is as lively as it is now, it is not too much."
Every year on the eve of the Chunin Examination in Konohagakure, it is second only to New Year's Eve and Bon Festival. The nightlife in the ninja world is already very poor and there are not many entertainment activities. It would be too much not to take the opportunity to come out and have a look at this time. Pity.
After walking around and looking around, acting as a guide and taking Terumi Meishou around, he found a noodle shop to satisfy his hunger and left.
At the same time, at the newly opened "Ginza" commercial hypermarket in Konoha Village, Hongye was trying on clothes with Xianglin. As Gushan Bushui said, buying something you like is a happy thing. Trying on clothes and choosing is a kind of enjoyment in itself. Xianglin, who was hesitating between two pairs of shoes, suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, his sight seemed to span time and space.
"Mom, there's something going on over there."
"I know."
Hongye patted Xianglin's little head, the smile on his face remained the same.
The secret technique of bloodline, Kagura's Heart's Eye, is not exclusive to Xiang Rin. After so many years of practice, Hong Ye also uses it well.
Xianglin asked puzzledly:
"Since you noticed it, why aren't you worried? That red-brown-haired female Kirito ninja exudes the aura of a she-wolf all over her body. She is even more charming than Yakumo sister's tutor... Ouch!"
Hongye, who gently knocked on her daughter's head, lectured angrily:
"Where did you learn such vulgar language? You spoke as if your father was about to be snatched away by a beast..."
"Why not? You don't know that since seeing the photos of my life at home, several female classmates have been asking about it. Even Ino is very enthusiastic and wants to get to know me."
Xianglin responded aggrievedly,
"If it hadn't been for my father who had already dropped out of school when I entered school, I don't know what would have happened. My father's reputation as 'eternal senior' is still being circulated. If it weren't for the fact that the Gusugi family was too high-ranking, many commoner girls felt that they were not worthy. Go ahead and retreat on your own, I don’t know what will happen.”
"There has been peace for too long, and the ninja school in Konoha Village has become so comfortable? In the class your father enrolled in, there were many people who went to war at the age of seven or eight. There is no time for premature love. It would be good to live to adulthood."
"You, you still don't know much about your father."
Hongye, who has long passed the stage of acquaintance, said with a smile,
"The life of a rich kid who was born with a golden key is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. As the young governor of Gusugi, what kind of beauties have I not seen? There are everything that should be enjoyed and things that should not be enjoyed. In terms of ninjutsu qualifications, Your father is not as good as a genius, but he is quite good. His versatility is not enough to describe his excellence. There are few people in the history of the Gushan family governor who are so amazing and talented. Such a genius has pride engraved in his bones, and he is only beautiful. It’s not enough to make him tempted…”
"Then how did the mother catch the father?"
"What do you mean by 'catch'? Your vocabulary is too limited. It seems that I need to strengthen your study of cultural etiquette, otherwise you will make a joke."
After rolling her eyes at her curious daughter, Hongye said softly,
"Because of you..."
"I?"
"Yes. A proud person is naturally quite stubborn and will not admit his mistakes easily. Your father is the same. He is still a madman with a strong sense of responsibility. He may not care too much about an ordinary maid who is a little clever, but he will not care about his own daughter and his wife. Her mother abandoned her."
"Mother is more valuable than daughter."
The suddenly enlightened Xianglin looked like this, which made Momiji who was talking about it amused.
"You are a kid, don't ask these childish questions in the future. If it weren't for you, your father would not have ignored me, but he would not be where he is today. The feelings between people are not just those of children. The hormones of youth are raging, and there are even more things that people can’t let go of.”
Precisely because of these years of getting along with each other, Hongye has gotten to know the person next to her more and more deeply, so Hongye is not too worried about the warblers and swallows around Gushan Bushui, because there is nothing in them that can really attract Gushan Bushui's heart. Traits.
Even if there is a moment of lust or love hidden in the golden house, the status of mother and daughter cannot be shaken. This certainty makes Hongye feel more at ease.
"They... don't have anything that your father admires. We are different. We are family members. We are different from each other inside and outside. To put it bluntly, the Gushan family is a conservative old family. Your father had to step into the waves because of the changes in the times. The purpose of walking in Zhongbolang is so that Gushan's family can stand firm in the turbulent future. In essence, he is still a conservative person who abides by tradition. If it were not for this family, even if the world is destroyed, I guess you My father is too lazy to care."
"Gu Shan...?"
It was the first time that she experienced the weight of such a heavy thing as "family name" from her family. Xianglin was silent for a while before tentatively asking:
"Then...whirlpool, what should we do?"
"Where else is there a whirlpool?"
Hongye smiled helplessly and said,
"The so-called 'Uzumaki Family' that reappeared is just a puppet supported by the Gusugi clan. The name of Uzumaki has long since disappeared with the demise of the Uzumaki Country. The current Uzumaki Country and Uzushio Village are not the same as the past. The 'Uzumaki Family' doesn't matter much anymore. As for..."
Hong Ye paused and said to her thoughtful daughter:
"Your classmate named 'Naruto Uzumaki' is a ninja from Konoha Village. He is a 'dowry inheritance' sent to Konoha Village by the Kingdom of Uzumaki in the past. He has nothing to do with us. Maybe one of your sisters will We will inherit the position of Daimyo of the Country of Uzumaki, but forget the surname of 'Uzumaki'. We are Kaitou Musou, descendants of the Country of Izumo, the second vice-president of the Country of Fire..."
As people go higher, water flows lower. With Gusugi's thicker thighs, who would cling to the name of the whirlpool? As a mother, Hongye doesn't want her daughters to go on the broad road but to squeeze on the single-plank bridge, right?
"I understand. Then..."
Xianglin asked,
"Father doesn't care about it?"
"You can't control it, but you can't do nothing. Your father is chatting happily with another young woman. If I don't pay attention and feel uncomfortable, does your father also think that I'm not jealous? Isn’t love gone?”
"Mother, you are so treacherous."
"Relationships are like two pieces of jade. Only when they learn from each other can they shine more beautifully. Whether it is a family or a relationship, it must be maintained for a long time in order to flourish. If you think that you can sit back and relax after the dust has settled, you are wrong. ”
Reaching out and squeezing Xiang Rin's red face, Hong Ye said with a smile:
"Okay, it's too early for you to worry about this. We have to speed up and visit the remaining boutiques before picking up your father. If we continue to delay, your three sisters will torture him into a neurasthenia."
"good."
The mother and daughter passing by carrying large and small bags happened to fall into the eyes of two drunken women on the observation deck upstairs. Mitarashi Anko, who had a red face, poked the elbow of her friend next to her.
"I thought you were going to say hello, where's the afternoon letter?"
The cool night breeze blew her forehead, and Yuhi Hong breathed out a breath of wine.
"If I go here at this time, why don't I be treated like a drunken idiot?"
"Just kidding."
"What I realized recently is that maybe the problem is not with Hongye and Xianglin. I have known Bu Shui for many years, and it stands to reason that we should not be unmoved at all. Eliminating all possibilities, there is only one correct answer, he Didn't like me."
"So unconfident?"
"It has nothing to do with lack of self-confidence. In terms of appearance and figure, I'm not bad either. However, just because of this, he doesn't mind having a relationship with me that has nothing to do with love. If we fall in love, he won't be interested. .”
"Bu Shui told you these words from the beginning, but you didn't pay attention to it, and you hinted at it later, but..."
Mitarai Anko patted Yuhi Kurenai's shoulder,
"Onlookers are clear, that guy is a bastard. I wanted to say it before, but I was afraid you would think too much. Now I just have to think about it..."
"Um."
We all understand the truth, but emotional matters are just unreasonable. If you really want to care about gains and losses, wouldn't it be better to fall into the arms of Sarutobi Asuma as soon as possible? Not willing to give in!
