Ignorant children are more afraid of water, but once they become addicted to playing, they will also become very noisy.
The curious little Hiiragi playfully spread the water everywhere, soaking the clothes of his mother and sister. He was still smiling happily, not noticing that his mother had a bitter look on her face and was trying hard to teach her a lesson. A meal of thought.
After turning one year old, the obviously older child is not as easy to take care of as before.
Si and Jing were much more honest. Their bodies were covered with bubbles after being soaked in shower gel. They curiously pinched each other's smooth skin with their hands.
"I don't know what my father expects from me."
As a ninja, you don't actually need to care about the results of the youth group in the "King of Fighting" Challenge. No matter how excellent your performance is, it's just a reference and you shouldn't care too much about it.
Xianglin, who has been carrying the expectations of her parents since she was a child, has always wanted to impress others, especially her father's approval.
After working hard for several years, although she is not as good as Kaguya Kimimaro and Shiro, two geniuses who are two years older, being able to keep pace with Uchiha Sasuke is enough to prove that she has worked very hard.
A child in the same grade at the Leaf Village Ninja School, Xiang Rin's performance is really impeccable.
However, the real problem has never been solved.
Mother Hongye and Xianglin's identity, although recognized by their family, has never appeared in formal aristocratic social occasions as their wife and daughter.
In other words, in the mainstream of the upper class society of the Fire Country, mother and daughter are still mistresses and illegitimate daughters without official status.
Although Momiji now has a title that he can take advantage of, and he is considered the number one figure in the ninja world, a high-ranking official of the Fire Country, and the leader of the Whirlpool Country, but relying on the power established by the Kosugi family, there are still people who are left-handed and right-handed. suspicion.
In fact, apart from serving as a mascot, Hongye does some superficial work such as condolences to orphans and widows, supports young children, donates to schools, and repairs bridges and roads. In fact, he does not have much meritorious achievements.
This is the first time Xianglin has shown her ability in public. If she messes up, it may have some bad effects in the future.
"You are probably overly worried. Your father never said he hoped you would get a good ranking. He even sent you to the Konoha Ninja School to study, but he never thought about letting you participate in the 'King of Fighting' challenge. ”, not to mention the need for popularity to prove anything. "
Not to mention the youth group, most of the fighters winners in all age groups can only get better conditions when they join the Gushan family.
Xianglin is different from them. He doesn't need to "show off his literary and martial arts skills to sell goods to the Gushan family". He only needs to satisfy Gushan Bu Shui.
"Is it really just a matter of working hard? If I can win the final, will it be of any benefit to my mother?"
"Silly boy……"
Hongye patted Xianglin's furry little head lovingly and responded with a smile,
"Of course there are benefits, that is, it makes me and your father happy. As for the rest, you just need to study hard and work hard to become better. It's not yet time for you to worry about this family."
Probably when she was a child, her mother Hongye's situation and expectations for her made Xianglin want to try her best to make her mother feel better in her own way.
The mother and daughter were talking, and Xiao Hiiragi, who felt left out, waved his wet arms in dissatisfaction and shouted ah, as if questioning why his mother and sister ignored her.
Hongye smiled softly, sprayed warm water from the shower head, washed away all the foam on Xiaohiira's body, dried the water on her body, and wrapped her in a bath towel.
"You like playing pranks so much at a young age. Will you still do it when you grow up?"
Handing the still struggling Xiao Hiiragi to Xiang Lin and taking him away, Hong Ye continued to wash the third and fourth children.
Ten minutes later, three beautiful children were lying side by side in the stroller, holding bottles in their mouths, eating and playing games with their sister from time to time.
Xianglin looked at Xiaohiira's appearance and couldn't help but ask her mother Hongye:
"Was it like this when I was a kid?"
"You are a bit quieter than her, but you are prone to getting into trouble and are very difficult to coax. Xiaoyi is also very noisy, but when he gets sulky, he comes and goes quickly. He doesn't hold grudges."
"Does that mean I hold a grudge?"
"You are much more stubborn than Xiao Hiiragi. You don't show it on your face, but in your heart you are not willing to give up for a moment. You are my daughter, how could you not understand?"
Xianglin coquettishly held her mother's hand, and then swatted away the arm stretched out by Xiaoyi, who seemed to be vying for favor, and said angrily:
"You are the only one who is smart enough to please your mother while I am away."
Although he could clearly sense the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of some facial expressions, Xiao Hiiragi still had a smile on his face, giggling at his sister without showing any disgust at all.
"You are ten years old and you are still competing with your one-year-old sister for favor?"
"What is ten years old? Even if I am twenty or thirty years old, I am still your eldest daughter and their sister."
After wiping the milk spilled from the corner of her sister's mouth with a tissue, Xianglin sighed softly and asked,
"I don't know what my father has been busy with recently, and I haven't seen him much."
"Kimimaro has something wrong with his body and needs treatment. Your father has been checking the information for most of the day and stayed in the laboratory."
"Oh, is it troublesome? He and Bai both seem to have some strange transformation powers. Is it dangerous?"
"You……"
Hongye responded as expected,
"Are you wondering, if there is a way to become stronger, why don't I teach it to you?"
Without waiting for the eldest daughter to answer, mother Hongye answered the question very thoughtfully:
"Because you are our daughter, I will not teach you dangerous techniques if you are not completely sure. Do you know about the 'Sealed Book' of Konoha Village? Every few years, Konoha Village will be visited because of the forbidden book." There was a commotion due to the technique. Each of the secret techniques above is a magical technique that needs to be used with caution. Of course, it is powerful and the cost is high. This is one of the reasons why the forbidden techniques are sealed. "
Don't blame Xiang Lin for being tempted, because "Wedge"'s liberated state is really too strong.
She was already far behind in terms of strength, and with the bonus of "Wedge", Xianglin was even less sure that she could catch up.
"Is that... a forbidden technique?"
"To use your father's words, in comparison, the Sealed Book is mostly child's play."
"But Shiro and Kimimaro are also our own people."
"You are our child, they are not."
Under Xianglin's complicated gaze, Hongye said sincerely,
"Actually, your father said that the degree of danger is controllable, but as long as there is a trace of instability, there are certain things that you will not be exposed to."
"Understood."
I came back specially because the main thing was to see my family and to get some information.
Kaoru, who was shocked by the battle between Kimimaro and Shiro, finally felt a little more balanced. She played with a few little sisters for a while and put them all to sleep before returning to the hotel room.
…
Three days later, Kosugi Fusui looked at Kaguya Kimimaro who had initially recovered with great satisfaction.
"How does it feel?"
"Almost normal."
Kaguya Kimimaro came down from the test platform and replied respectfully,
"Thank you, Lord, for your help."
"You're welcome. You are my right-hand man. If something goes wrong, I will be in trouble."
There will be many things in the future, and Gushan Bu Shui will have to let this very useful and loyal subordinate do it, but he cannot be allowed to die easily.
The blood-succession-limited rampage is more like a second mutation in Kaguya Kimimaro.
Although there is no curse seal implanted like in the original time and space, a more domineering and powerful "wedge" has been added to the inside of the body by Gu Shan Bu Shui.
When fighting Haku, Kaguya Kimimaro's blood succession limit and "wedge" were not fully developed, so that he could not quickly suppress Haku's performance.
Of course, being merciful is also the reason why Kaguya Kimimaro is able to survive until now.
Later, Kosugi Fusui led Kaguya Kimimaro and Ranmaru to meet.
"What did you find in the red-eye chakra vision?"
"Inhuman."
Ranmaru answered very carefully,
"From a chakra perspective, Kimimaro is one step further away from humans."
Although Ranmaru is very young, he still does a good job as a temporary supervisor.
If he hadn't checked for leaks and filled in the gaps, Kimimaro wouldn't have progressed so fast, let alone the dangerous situation this time. If he hadn't stopped Kimimaro who wanted to continue fighting, he would have died on the spot.
"My lord, can't I use Blood Succession to limit my limits from now on? In that case, my strength will drop a lot and I won't be able to complete many tasks."
】
"It can still be used, but you have to ensure that it is not activated without me and Ranmaru present. In fact, as time goes by, your risk level will become lower and lower."
Why does the thawing of the "wedge" make many people unable to bear it and die suddenly?
Essentially, there is a big gap between the Otsutsuki clan and the indigenous people of the ninja world. Once they start to merge, before they are completely unified, it will cause a phenomenon of focusing on one and losing sight of the other.
In other words, if the qualifications of the container itself are extremely biased and conflict with the "wedge", it will easily be unable to bear it and die.
If the human body is compared to a well-oiled ship, "Wedge" is like a ship repairman who removes the ship's parts one by one and replaces them with new ones.
As time goes by, the boat is still the same boat, all the parts and connotations have changed.
Kaguya Kimimaro's current problem is that he has completely demolished and replaced Taimen, and most of them are aimed at the bones, which is linked to the Blood Succession Limit and Corpse Bone Veins.
No matter how the ship is repaired, if the keel is dismantled first, the entire ship will definitely be scrapped.
"When you grow older, your body becomes stronger, and the 'wedge' thaws more evenly, you can completely get rid of your current situation."
Gu Shan Bu Shui warned very solemnly,
"Once your physical strength and chakra are reduced to less than one-third, you have to be careful not to get too high, and you have to take what you need. Failure in the mission is not as big a loss as if you die. You have to have confidence in your own value. .”
"I understand. I will be careful in the future. Thank you Lord for your concern."
"Ranmaru, Kimimaro, I will leave him under your care. Don't let him do stupid things."
"I understand, young master."
Pretending to be old-fashioned, Ranmaru imitated Kaguya Kimimaro and gave him a big bow.
…
Two days later, the "King of Fighting" junior division semi-finals officially began. Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata Neji, who had extremely strong gimmicks, were the focus of this promotion.
Many tourists come here just to see what is different about these two legendary top ninja children.
After suffering losses from Kaguya Kimimaro and others, Zuosuke and Neji summed up their experiences and lessons.
Victory will enhance a person's self-confidence, and failure is also a good educational opportunity.
They were defeated by Kasumi Toudo and Kyo Kusanagi respectively. Two children of almost the same age also competed twice in private. In the end, Hyuga Neji had the upper hand.
Uchiha Sasuke, who was not fighting against the Hyuga tribe for the first time, still underestimated the characteristics of the soft fist and did not realize how important it was to prevent damage to acupoints and meridians.
The result, for Saosuke, was not very pleasant.
After finally wresting the title of chief student from Xiang Lin, he was defeated one after another, which was really frustrating.
In order to prepare for the next game, Zuosuke, who had adjusted his condition, together with Inuzuka Kiba and Kaoru, looked at the three teenagers opposite who were two or three years older wearing Yunin forehead protectors.
"Didn't it mean that the country of Yu has disbanded the ninja village because it loves peace and is unwilling to get involved in the war?"
"No, it was just damaged by the war, and then the internal rebellion broke out and it fell into ruin."
Inuzuka Kiba's problem is actually a misunderstanding of many people, Xiang Rin explained in a low voice.
In the Country of Fire, it is indeed rare to see Tang Ninja activities. The last time I heard news about Tang Ninja Village was the tragic news that they suffered heavy losses due to rebellion due to their research on forbidden arts.
In fact, Yuu Ninja really took the Chunin Exam seriously, but his presence was too weak and he had no chance to perform at all, so many ninjas thought they didn't come.
As for trying their luck in the "King of Fighting" challenge, I don't know what they think. The invitation letter from the Furugi family was not sent to them. They heard that other ninja villages were participating, so they sent their own teams to compete. .
The organizer of the event did not refuse the attention that came to my door, but gave him a chance to take an assessment. As a result, he advanced "smoothly".
"It doesn't look very impressive, who comes first?"
Uchiha Sasuke and Inuzuka Kiba looked at each other and looked in the direction of Kaoru,
"How about you try it?"
"Fine."
I don’t know what considerations the two teammates had in letting him appear first, but Xianglin did not refuse.
Not far away, mother and father were pushing a stroller on the sidelines. The whole family had arrived, and Xianglin also wanted to test what level her strength was outside.
Facing an unfamiliar opponent for the first time, Xianglin was a little nervous. After the referee announced the start, she did not attack, but tried to find weaknesses.
He carefully separated out several water avatars, and then formed a fan shape to surround them. Then, the hidden weapon rain curtain blocked them, and the last move of Water Release: Water Wave rushed the opponent out of the ring.
So simple?
Wearing a forehead protector, he should be at least an official ninja, and the fact that he was so weak really surprised the little girl.
