Among the Konoha villagers who are eager to buy a house, Sarutobi Asuma is just an ordinary one.
In Gui Zhiji's adjusted credit policy, only ninjas with strong repayment ability and good personal credit can easily pass the review and can move in early as long as they pay 30% of the down payment.
In other words, the scope of harvesting is basically concentrated on middle- and upper-level ninjas, young genin and ordinary villagers. Because their ability to make money is far behind, and their ability to resist risks is also poor, it is difficult to get loans from the Gusugi family's bank.
There is no doubt that the ability of ninjas is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people.
Like Sarutobi Asuma, after the Third Ninja War, he spent most of his time with his father, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and ran away from home for many years. There are not many high-level tasks.
Even so, after he came back and was promoted to Jonin, Big Beard's ability to make money was indeed very strong. He borrowed part of it from relatives and friends, and he was able to collect the down payment.
If he really wanted to buy a house in full, he could grit his teeth and do it, but in that case, if something happened and he needed money, Asuma Sarutobi wouldn't be able to do anything.
As a man, he has no money and no confidence in his heart.
After signing the loan agreement and the house purchase agreement, and seeing Katsura Haruki personally stamping the seal, Asuma Sarutobi's heart finally settled.
Why did it go so well?
It was really not Katsura Haruki who opened the back door for him, but a descendant of the Akimichi family who booked a high-quality "one-family house". Because he had a falling out with his girlfriend, the mansion originally planned to be used as a wedding room naturally did not work. No matter how important it is.
Through internal channels, the news about selling reservation qualifications spread. After Sarutobi Asuma heard about it, he immediately came to buy it.
Since he didn't have to do anything in private, Katsura Haruki was happy to go along with the situation and gave Sarutobi Asuma the qualification to buy a house.
"Asuma Jounin, from now on, before the tenth of each month, you need to deposit the full monthly payment into the designated account. Our bank will automatically perform the agreed deduction. If you have any objections, you can always consult the teller and check the payment. If If it is overdue, you will be charged a late fee. In the event that your house is irreparably damaged due to force majeure or other reasons that are not your responsibility, you still need to repay the loan on time. However, we reserve the right to continue to repay the loan at the cost price. Qualifications to build…”
To put it bluntly, the house belongs to you. Regardless of life, old age, illness or death, the loan must continue to be repaid. If it is destroyed due to war, you can continue to let the Gushan family help rebuild it at a relatively low price.
Although Katsura Haruki didn't know how many houses would be destroyed in the "Konoha Collapse Plan" that would happen three years later, he was still aware of the trap set by Fusugi Bosui.
To put it bluntly, it is to let Konoha ninjas take on loans for as long as possible, and the amount should be maintained at a level that makes them feel stressed, but is not worth abandoning their credit default.
Pulling out the goose feathers of Konoha Village made the Konoha ninja feel a little painful, but not to the point of screaming blindly.
In the final analysis, Gusugi Fusui felt that the life of the Konoha villagers was too comfortable in the past. Looking at the environment of the Kiri Ninja and Suna Ninja, you know how happy the Konoha Ninja are.
Sitting on the geomantic treasure land of Konoha Village, the range of material selection is far greater than that of other ninja villages.
Even without the contributions of several major ninja clans, the probability of a genius appearing in Konoha Village is still much higher than that of its peers.
The Fire Nation occupies the most fertile land in the entire Shinobi Continent, and the combined population of other countries is less than twice that of the Fire Nation.
If any two great ninja villages join forces, Konoha Village will have a greater chance of defeating them. If there are three, it will be a bit difficult. Four will have to adopt a strategy of defeating each other. At the same time, the siege will still be unstoppable.
Konoha Village is too powerful. In order to make it roll up internally, the middle and upper-level ninjas must be given a little motivation to make money, and the lower-level ninjas will be squeezed out of the task share.
The most ideal result for Gusugi Bushui is that everyone in Konoha Village works hard from top to bottom, but no one is happy and satisfied, and attributes this dissatisfaction to their own lack of hard work. This situation is too perfect.
After surviving the rush to buy "one-family homes", the third joint Chunin Examination held in Konoha Village this year was finally held as planned.
These days, not many people around me care about Liang Zhong, and my life is really comfortable.
I stayed in Miyagi for a long time and had to strictly abide by etiquette every day. I finally got the chance to go to Yuqi Island, but I didn't expect to be sent to Konoha Village again.
Originally, Liangzhong thought that traveling all the way here would be very hard, but he didn't expect that it would be a good job.
The only thing that didn't go well was that the third generation of the Hokage and several elders always liked to find out about Kosugi Bosui's whereabouts and information from themselves.
"I know shitty news. How could Cousin Bu Shui tell me such a thing?" 』
Ever since he was little, Liangzhong has known that how could his arrogant older cousin tell the real secret to this "little brat" who knew nothing but eating, drinking and having fun?
What's more, Gu Shanbu Shui would never let his family know about fighting an S-class rebel ninja.
Sometimes, knowing too much is its own risk.
The Red Sand Scorpion, Deidara, and Liangzhong's little brother don't even know who they are, so naturally they have no information to give them.
Yoshigege knew very well that when he came to Konoha Village this time, he was just a mascot. It was enough to show his face when needed. Apart from being honest with the Hokage Sandaime after meeting with him, he never talked to outsiders.
"Brother Sunrise, why don't you take me to the Country of Sichuan?"
"Fighting is dangerous."
Togakushi Hinode smiled and shook his head,
"Also, I can't afford to be the eldest brother of the prince. I can just call him the leader."
"Well, it's not very interesting for me to come alone. I wanted to go and play with my cousin Zhiji, but I was strictly prohibited from doing so."
"After all, his identity still needs to be kept secret."
Not only is the identity of Katsura Haruki's former heir to the Furusugi family more sensitive, his wife Katsura Mikoto, the former Uchiha Mikoto, is even more troublesome.
Once exposed, it is too cumbersome to explain.
"I knew it would be bad if I went out alone. If I really want to have fun, I'd better go with cousin Bu Shui."
"Your Highness, you must also understand the pressure on the daimyo and the head of the Kosugi family. If something unexpected happens to you and Master Bushui together, the Genpei clan will not be able to choose a serious male heir. Master Jiji will be Deprived of their identities, Xianglin and several little sisters are all illegitimate daughters who have not yet entered the clan ceremony."
What would happen if the next generation of the two families were taken over by someone?
Expect parents in their forties to work hard to have another child?
"So, my father always tells me to go back for blind dates, get married early and have a child! I understand, but those noble ladies who follow the rules are so boring."
"Lord Liangzhong, you'd better not say such things. If the Daimyo and Princess Liuli find out, I'm afraid they will be beaten again. Marrying a virtuous wife has nothing to do with whether you are boring or not..."
"Brother Sunrise, I used to be a very flexible person, but now it's no longer fun."
Togakushi Hinode couldn't help but laugh a few times.
If he hadn't been burdened with the orders of the young governor of the Gu Shan family, I might not have been able to control this lawless Fire Nation crown prince.
At this moment, there was a noise outside.
"It's time, let the waiter sort out your clothes, and then go out?"
"I know, please be careful and don't be embarrassed."
A few minutes later, Yoshigege, who was dressed up for traveling, appeared in the top VIP stand accompanied by Togakushi Hinode.
Anbu wearing masks and guards in plain clothes were already distributed in several key areas of the stands.
After sitting down, there were only a few guards except Togakushi Hinode who accompanied him.
In the lower stands, Xiang Lin and several classmates were at the front with the best view. Not far away were Gui Zhiji and several partners.
As one of the officials responsible for protecting the nobles at the venue, Sarutobi Asuma crossed his arms and focused on the target he wanted to protect, Master Ryoshige.
On the other side, Kurenai Yuhi maintained order at the end of the passage to prevent candidates from clashing before the game, and at the same time helped the medical team who was waiting for them.
"Actually, most of the time, what we can do is quite limited. After all, the third test is a competition in front of everyone. There are very few injuries or even deaths. The second test is the hardest hit area where candidates die every year."
In her spare time, the leading female medical ninja chatted with Kurenai Yuhi, who also had nothing to do.
"So, my task is not heavy, but your task is lighter?"
"Under the care of so many Jonin, a serious casualty accident still occurred. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face of Hokage-sama? If it is really serious, we can only do first aid. Whether it can be cured well depends on Tsunade-sama." .”
】
Indeed, in the few years since Tsunade left the village, the level of the top medical ninjas in Konoha Village has dropped a lot.
In another direction, the Sand Ninjas were discussing in low voices while watching the appearance of two promotion candidates in the village.
Markie lowered his voice and said:
"The top secret news I just received is that Iwa Ninja bypassed Konoha Village and wanted to negotiate directly with Major Governor Gusugi. However, they failed to reach an agreement and even started fighting."
Curling his lips, Yinfeng said disdainfully:
"As expected, they are still a group of idiots with brain problems. Who do they think they are dealing with? What happened?"
"The five rude guys were detained, and only the young man who sent the message was released back to Iwagakure Village."
"Is Major Governor Gushan already that strong?"
Shatie sighed with some worry,
"Is the gap between our Country of Wind and the Country of Fire getting wider and wider?"
Markey responded:
"This time it was not Major Governor Kosugi himself who took action, but Kaguya Kimimaro and several of his companions."
"How powerful is this year's 'King of Fighters'?"
For nearly twenty years, two or three masters who have been called the "King of Fighters" have been born every year. Most of them have not made a name for themselves, but some have succeeded.
For example, Kazuma, Ryuudouin Akira and others.
The one who stole the show this year is Kaguya Kimimaro. He also has several powerful followers, whether it is Kusanagi Kyo or Toudo Kasumi, who have already dealt with several Jonin who wanted to fish in troubled waters.
"You'd better not underestimate the 'King of Fighting' event. With each passing year, the average strength of the contestants is improving. Especially in the past two years, there are already many jounin-level players in the finals. . Kaguya Kimimaro's ability to defeat those people one by one is enough to prove his strength."
The capture of the five Iwa ninja also made interested people realize that the Furusugi family was powerful and was not very afraid of the revenge of ninjas from other villages.
Not only Major Governor Gushan himself, he also has a group of powerful, loyal and capable subordinates under his command. The weaknesses that were lacking in top-notch combat power in the past are slowly being made up for.
"Fortunately, we didn't act rashly, but now it has undoubtedly been proved that the next contact with the Gushan family will be more difficult, because..."
Sha Tie said slightly bitterly,
"We couldn't offer satisfactory conditions, so we asked Major Governor Gu Shan to release the Red Sand Scorpion."
The real dilemma lies here. The Gushan family is so powerful, and the young governor Gushan, who was born with a golden key, lacks everything. What benefits should the Suna ninja give to impress him, so that he can get back the genius puppet master in the village?
"Let's talk about it after we meet. It's a good thing for us to have the Hidden Leaf Village to help us find out the news, and those idiots from Iwa Ninja to mess around."
With the vulgar Iwa ninja as a comparison, wouldn't it reflect the Suna ninja's respect and admiration for the Fusagi family?
With a better impression, the hope of successful negotiations will naturally be higher.
While several great ninja villages, the "Akatsuki" organization, and the Fusagi family were testing each other's conditions over the matter of Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion, the "ordinary students of the Konoha Village Ninja School" who received almost no attention "The teacher, after a period of practice, finally felt that his pharmaceutical level had met the requirements, so he launched a plan to activate the "Tiger Seal" in the body according to the prescription left by Orochimaru.
The precious medicinal materials exchanged from Gu Shan Bu Shui were poured on the elegant grooved stone slab after strict pre-processing. After the scarlet medicine flowed through a striped path, it finally gathered at the central groove. After flowing out, , happened to be caught by a medicine bottle.
After nearly three months of hard work, Mizuki finally achieved his goal. He raised the potion and looked at the sun several times. After confirming that there was no problem, he finally laughed with satisfaction.
After enduring the humiliation and burden for so long, the moment finally came when the bitter end came to an end. Mizuki could no longer suppress the ambition in his heart.
At this moment, Mizuki, who was about to burst into tears from laughter, saw a woman with long hair reaching her waist and a delicate face.
"Xiao Chun, what are you doing here?"
"This is what I want to ask, Mizuki, what are you preparing for? It always feels like something bad will happen."
"Are you following me?"
Mizuki's feelings for this woman were genuine, but they were no match for the growing ambition in his heart.
"I'm worried about you. Especially in the past few days, you have become less and less like yourself. The Ninja School has also been asking for leave continuously. Yinluka told me that some colleagues have criticized you."
"That's nothing, this will all be a thing of the past."
