The status of this Chuunin Examination, and
The situation in the "King of Fighting" challenge is similar. The average level in the third trial is still very high, even exceeding the average level in previous years. However, there are not many dominant players, making the competition particularly fierce.
The influence of accidental factors has become greater, making it increasingly difficult to determine the outcome, which in turn increases the viewing pleasure of the arena competition.
Without Uchiha, Hinata and many well-known ninja geniuses, the audience was very satisfied with this chunin exam.
Geniuses don’t come around often, but this is the case
Competition filled with "hard-working geniuses" is the mainstream. After the semi-finals, in order to give the winning candidates enough time to prepare, the examination room left lunch time for the audience to watch the final showdown in the afternoon.
"Bu Shui..." He asked the attendants to serve the prepared food. After taking a few bites of the clear rice balls and tea soup on the tray, the old daimyo, who was not appetizing, faced the young governor Gusugi who was leaning on the railing in the front row and looking out. shouted,
"Come here, I have something to tell you."
"Eh? It's coming!" When he was a child, Gushan Bu Shui was still very popular with his grandfather. At that time, the eldest name was not weak and covered in age spots. He seemed dull, but he was actually wise and capable. With his relatively weak strength, He is somewhat capable of suppressing the influence of Konoha Village, and he is a quite powerful monarch.
"What are your orders?"
"The instructions are too serious. I just have something to ask you. How many princes and titles of the Genpei clan do we still have?"
"We still have two Taira clan, and the Genji clan is said to have three. Two of them are already waiting to be succeeded, and there is only one that is really vacant." In the Country of Fire, the real master is actually passing on the legacy of the Genji clan. The Daimyo Heira family is the direct descendant of the Kosugi family, and each family has only three branches in name.
"Royal family members", that is, close relatives with inheritance rights, can be called the prince's branch family. In fact, the two main families have long ago taken advantage of these things that could threaten their own power.
The "Iron Hat King" was divided into several small families, and their strength declined. Kosugi Haruki was deposed, and the daimyo directly asked Princess Ruri to inherit the family name, and recruited Kosugi Masayoshi, and those big and small
The "Prince" didn't dare to say anything, and he only dared to complain a few words in private. On the other hand, it's the same. The main branch of the daimyo is extinct. The so-called
The "Genji Imperial Family" can still only watch, and the heir of Furusugi will inherit the position of daimyo. The marriage between the two direct lineages actually ended the hope of counterattack by the sideline.
As for those who have no inheritance rights
There are even more "Yu Sanqing". Except that they have no nominal inheritance rights, they are no different from direct descendants.
"Let's choose one of the two children of the Haruki family to inherit the title of prince of the Genji family." Originally, the Furusugi family
"Tsura Palace" was prepared for the uncle who was responsible for the discipline. Adding another one would be the territory directly under the daimyo, and then a fiefdom would be divided.
"You are so generous! I definitely have no objection. I don't know what my cousin thinks..." Glancing at his cousin Zhiji who was coaxing the child with Mrs. Mikoto not far away, Gushan Bushui whispered,
"I know you want to compensate, but will Cousin Zhiji be unable to bear the excessive favor?"
"It's just a title. It doesn't matter if we give a piece of territory to our descendants as an inheritance. The Fire Country is so big, we can arrange for a few children."
"You can just arrange this kind of thing. If you need my cooperation, just ask."
"You just take these things too lightly. Also, with your ability, these external things are things that everyone admires. Other relatives in the family, as well as future generations, may not have this ability."
"You've been taught a lesson! I'll be careful and don't get into trouble."
"You are a good boy! Although our family is not short of people with good brains, it has been many years since we have had real skills and can really get things done. Think about our ancestors, how many times have the East and West faced each other? For hundreds of years, I have been fighting and fighting, and I have become stronger and stronger, but I have wiped out other forces, large and small." This is a typical boss and the second child fighting for hegemony, and the third, fourth and fifth children are all involved. .
The world is like this, the ninja world is the same, Uchiha and Senju also play this way.
"We can only talk about this in private. How can other people understand the true meaning of power? People who know nothing about the cruelty of this world may be better off if they know less."
"Yes, this world is neither kind nor correct. Only we, the Genpei clan, are always kind." The world needs order. Even if it has various problems, it is better than no order.
After knocking down the Daimyo and Furusugi families, if a small group of people come up, will things get better?
"The world always thinks that we are rotten, worms in this world, vampires lying on the people. However, at least we are full, we will take care of the appearance of what we eat, and we will put on a sanctimonious face to maintain the surface fairness and justice. If Without us, those extremely vicious people with no regard for dignity come to slaughter us, and we still know what it would be like.”
"Alas!" The old man held Gushan Bushui's arm with his thin hands and said with emotion,
"With you here, I feel relieved. Over the years, the Ninja Village has become stronger and stronger, and its influence in the secular world has also increased day by day. My son and grandson are both more than conservative but not enterprising enough. They want to change the governance model as soon as possible and deal with the situation. They...can't do the next challenge."
"Take good care of yourself and watch with peace of mind. It will be fine!"
"I don't know how long I can watch. You did a good job. What I am most satisfied with is your grasp of proportion. We hold the Fire Country in our hands. As long as we don't make mistakes, it means we have no opponents. Others The great powers, including the five major ninja villages including Konoha, are not enemies, they are just noisy neighbors.”
"Yes! You saw it accurately!" If there were no major events such as Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, as well as the resurrection of Otsutsuki Kaguya, the development of the future world would indeed develop in the direction mentioned by the boss.
"Where's Xiang Phosphorus? I haven't seen her yet..."
"Let's go out and play with our classmates!"
"That's a good boy. He suffered a lot when he was a child. Now he's doing well, so I'm relieved." As if hearing his sister's name, the sensitive Xiao Hiiragi raised his head and looked at his father and not too much. Cooked
"Grandpa" saw that they were chatting, so he continued to lower his head and ate the delicious eel rice.
Seeing that the family was happily together, the elder Daimyo said happily: "Many years ago, there was a scene like this. When I inherited the position of Daimyo, my ancestors asked me to take good care of my family, but the result... alas!"
"The ending is pretty good! Cousin Zhiji is quite satisfied now, and the family is very harmonious." After talking for a long time, the sun set and the heat wave subsided a little, and the finals began.
It was the first time that a star ninja had set foot on such an arena to perform. The female star ninja named May was not intimidated by the occasion and looked eager to give it a try.
On the contrary, the burly Konoha ninja across from him was a little cramped and nervous. In front of everyone, it is a rare opportunity to be able to show your strength and win the championship in one fell swoop.
There is no master with an overwhelming advantage this year. It is not easy to reach this point. After the game started, Fusugi Bosui, who had an extraordinary vision, roughly judged that the Konoha ninjas on the opposite side had a solid foundation. Yusei's ninjutsu mastery was not bad, whether it was ninja tool throwing or restricted secret techniques. She has a good look. If she doesn't use the forbidden technique, her strength is already very impressive. Her ability to reach the finals is indeed not entirely due to luck.
However, there is still a big gap between him and the Konoha ninjas in terms of ninjutsu connection and tactical maturity.
If you single out a certain field, you won't lose at May's level, but if you focus on one person, there will be a gap in actual combat.
"The difference in the background of the ninja village!" ” Gu Shan Bu Shui shook his head regretfully. This is caused by a deep-seated lack of accumulation. Not only the candidates off the court, the Feng Mo clan is indeed not what it used to be. It will take a long time to restore the old outlook.
Sure enough, May, who had been proactive before, gradually fell into a disadvantage after a few minutes of fruitless attacks. He was suppressed in turn and struggled for nearly twenty minutes before he was defeated.
Finally, the referee announced the result, and the audience burst into warm applause. "The face of Konoha Village has been saved!"
』If a star ninja wins the championship, the mist ninja and sand ninja will certainly lose face, and the host Konoha village will lose face even more.
With a smile on his face, Sarutobi Hiruzen came off the stage, presented awards to the victors, and granted him Chuunin qualifications, while also expressing a few words of comfort to the defeated Satsuki.
Soon after, the audience began to trickle out. Kosugi Fusui said hello to everyone and left early to go to the Hyuga family's mansion.
The Hyuga clan leader, who had already heard the news, had arranged for his attendants to wait at the door. After passing through the antique courtyard and arriving at the reception room, Hinata Hinashi had been waiting for a long time.
"Greetings from Jiu Shu, Hizu-senpai." Kosugi Bushui knelt down opposite and took the matcha that was handed to him. He took a few sips and found that the taste was okay.
"Long time no see. Master Bu Shui's demeanor is still the same, but I've aged a few years." Hinata Hizu is already forty years old this year. If you really think about it, she can be considered a daughter in his later years.
Of course, this matter actually has something to do with the Gushan family. Very early on, Kosugi also had the idea of marrying with Hinata. The Kosugi family needed the fighting power of the Hyuga family, and the Hyuga family needed the power of the Kosugi family to protect themselves.
Originally there was still a high hope of success in this matter, but later it fell through due to some accidents.
Even Zhi Ji's cousin almost couldn't find this person, so the so-called marriage was naturally out of the question. Strictly speaking, the two families did almost become relatives.
Things have changed and people have changed, and the grievances and entanglements in the early years are gone forever. Otherwise, Furugi Bosui, Hyuga Neji, and even Hyuga Hinata might not have been born.
"You are too modest. I don't know about this invitation. What advice can you give me?"
"Advice is not an issue, Major Governor Bu Shui. I want to know how you plan to treat our Hyuga family in the future."
"Treat?" Gushan Bushui asked strangely,
"Furugi and Hinata are not directly related, right? Are there any grudges worth talking about?"
"Hinata is the only one left among the millennium-old clan of Konoha Village..." Hinata and Hizashi explained slowly while drinking tea,
"My grasp of current affairs may be a little clearer than the average person. Back then, our Hyuga ancestors were not the first ninja clan to defect to Konoha Village. We, like Sarutobi, Shimura, Inokacho and other families, were more than a step behind, and It’s not that we can’t see the strength of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, but that we Hinata have our own principles of doing things.”
"Preserving the family heritage is more important than growing stronger, or even becoming the king and hegemon?" Hyuga Hiashi smiled and said: "Where are the majestic Senju and Uchiha now? The Uzumaki clan who married the Senju, if it weren't for you Even if you take action, it will have disappeared long ago. Besides, is the current whirlpool still the whirlpool of the past?" The direct lineage of the country of whirlpool has long since disappeared in the accident that destroyed the country and the family, and the whirlpool established by the current whirlpool survivors has long since disappeared. The blood relationship between the country and the original main branch is too far.
Kosugi Bosui had never thought of getting married to Uzumaki Naruto, and even Momiji didn't call himself after the Uzumaki clan's surname, and his daughters had no idea of inheriting the Uzumaki family name.
If it's gone, it's gone. One Uzumaki in Konoha Village is enough.
"You saw it accurately! So, what are your plans related to our Gushan family?"
"As for Konoha Village, I want to know if Gusugi wants to take direct control?"
"No!" Gushan Bushui smiled and said,
"The order of one village and one country is still stable, and I have no intention of breaking it. However, the debate about 'Jade' has been going on for many years. I hope it ends in this generation! After all, Naruto is also a daimyo in name only. Attached…”
"I understand!" Hinata let out a long sigh of relief.
"Then I'm relieved! There's nothing terrible about the Ninja World War. It's just a game where a few great Ninja Villages argue and fight against each other every few years, and then Konoha Village wins. If Konoha Village and Fire If the country breaks up, it will be completely different.”
"Why do you have such an idea?" Gushan Bushui asked puzzledly,
"You know, I have never shown any malice towards the Konoha ninjas. Rather, I am very friendly." A rare smile appeared on Hinata Hizashi's old-fashioned face: "The third generation, after all, does not have the heritage of our thousand-year family, and I don’t quite understand. The so-called hostility is not driven by malicious intent, but by the struggle for interests. Now, in the village, how many lives are in your hands, how many ninjas and Gusugi are flirting with each other, how many people are Are we living directly or indirectly on the Furusugi family? Even we, Hinata, are increasingly aware of the importance of the Furusugi family in the village." Others cannot see through the Fushui divination hidden behind layers of vests. The tentacles of the Hyuga family, who are well-informed, really feel the pressure of that behemoth getting closer and closer.
Fushigi Bushui will not take the initiative to harm the Leaf Village, but he will never allow the Konoha ninjas to violate the authority of the daimyo and the Fushigi family.
