The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind looks a bit older than the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire.
In fact, he is the youngest among the daimyo of the five major countries.
The environment in the Kingdom of Wind is indeed not nurturing, and even people like the Daimyo are inevitably exposed to the elements.
The current productivity environment of the ninja world, the dry and barren Land of Wind, is indeed difficult to provide too luxurious living conditions.
Of course, this does not mean that the king of a country has a bad life.
Compared with the daimyo and nobles of the Fire Country, it is indeed much harder.
When it comes to mutual visits at the level of daimyo, apart from the formal sense of ceremony and private communication, there are actually not many substantive topics to talk about. The presence of the daimyo family and Gushan's family is a courtesy need, and Gushan is not required at all. Shan Bu Shui said something.
With a smile on his face, Gu Shanbu Shui was in a state of mind, and his chakra perception was placed on the warrior of the Kingdom of Wind who was standing outside the door with a sword on his waist.
It has to be said that people who grow up in a difficult environment do have the excellent qualities of being simple, hard-working and hard-working.
Judging from the level of threat emanating from them, they are indeed top-notch fighters. In terms of physical combat and hand-to-hand combat, they are probably not much worse than Ryuudouin Akira.
What is even more rare is loyalty and reliability, and the dedication to defend the master's family when needed is commendable.
After chatting for a while and asking about the elder Daimyo's condition, the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind saw Gusugi Bushui looking at his guards and couldn't help but curiously asked:
"This is Major Governor Gu Shan, right? He is indeed a talented person. Why are you interested in these monks who have returned to secular life?"
"Monk?"
"Yes, I once studied under Master Fenfu, and later practiced with Master Hoichi and traveled in the ninja world. Later, he returned to secular life and was conquered by his subordinates. They are all loyal ministers and very capable..."
"No wonder!"
The ancient cedar can tell the water clearly.
The rock-like firm will in them that is rarely seen in ordinary people can only be explained by the words of the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind.
But, do they really serve the Daimyo wholeheartedly?
Or is it just to find support for Fa Yi's proposition that he has to make decisions with the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind?
Those traveling monks who pretend to be gods and ghosts like to debate scriptures and doctrines with big shots. Only after they have the support of a country's ruler can they demonstrate their influence from top to bottom and preach.
"Master Fayi, I've heard of it too. I don't know which one is better, him or Master Dilu from the Land of Fire."
“I haven’t compared it, so it’s hard to comment!”
The daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind is also a relatively cautious person. Although he is a bit naive in governing the country, he is not stupid after all. He did not say good things about Fanyi or belittle the land on this occasion.
Next, a few people said some kind words and dispersed.
The really important matters are all discussed by the subordinates, and the daimyo comes to witness and go through the motions. In fact, there are very few matters that require the daimyo to negotiate in person.
Even Gushan Bushui rarely talks face-to-face with the heads of major ninja clans and ninja village leaders about business matters.
As long as the talks are going well, that's all. If you disagree, it will be difficult to step down, which is not beautiful.
After leaving the main hall, Gushan Bushui returned to the side hall where he lived, and saw Hongye drying and sterilizing the fleece that had been wet by melted snowflakes, while Xianglan was playing chess with his three sisters.
Xiao Hiiragi, who has an advantage in physical growth rate, does not have an overwhelming advantage over Xiao Jing and Xiao Si in this regard.
In terms of IQ, Hiiragi still has an advantage, but in terms of patience, he is a little worse than his two sisters, so that he cannot fully exert himself. Although he has a better winning rate, he often loses due to carelessness.
Seeing that Gu Shan Bu Shui was back, Xiao Hiiragi dropped the chess and cards at hand and ran over on his short legs.
The little guy knew that every time his father came back from an outing, he would bring something delicious and pounce on it waiting for him.
"Greedy!"
Gu Shanbu Shui took out a beautifully crafted box and opened it, revealing a row of sweet pastries inside.
"The secret delicacy made from dates, a specialty of the Kingdom of Wind, is very sweet. Children can only eat one piece at a time. Too much is not good for the body. Do you understand?"
"Um!"
Xiao Hiiragi nodded hurriedly, took it, took out a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. Immediately, his eyes were bent with laughter.
“Delicious, very sweet.”
"Give my sister and sister a taste, but don't keep it to yourself."
"good!"
The specialty gifts specially brought by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind are indeed extraordinary and they are definitely delicious. The key is that they are not available outside.
Within the scope of conditions permitting, the great nobles of neighboring countries also lived a life of luxury, fine clothing and fine food as much as possible. Naturally, the daimyo also had some extraordinary enjoyments for ordinary people.
Hongye smiled and watched the interaction between father and daughter, taking care of the housework virtuously, keeping their food, clothing, housing and transportation in order.
Although she now has a maid to help her, Hongye still prefers to do it herself due to the habits she has developed over the years.
"How's it going with the boss?"
"There is still hope that we can get through it smoothly."
Gu Shan Bu Shui replied in a low voice,
"This winter, the climate is also very abnormal. It gets hot when it's sunny, and extremely cold when it rains or snows. The temperature difference between day and night is large, which is very detrimental to the health of the elderly."
Judging from the current situation, the boss suffers from severe liver and kidney failure, and has problems with his gastrointestinal digestion, which also increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
No matter which way you look at it, it's the feeling of an old man approaching the end of his life.
Maybe at the next moment, a change in heat or cold will induce a myocardial infarction or a stroke, making you ill.
"Last time I saw him talking and laughing, holding Xiao Hiiragi's hand and talking a lot. Is that... a comeback? Even you can't help it..."
"I have discussed with the daimyo that there are some extraordinary means that cannot be used until the last moment. Even if you have reached the Zen position, you are still a daimyo. Regardless of life, old age, illness or death, you must keep your minimum dignity. However, some means cannot be used while there are still a few days left. Use it when you're angry, but if it's too late, the old man won't be able to bear it anymore."
Ethics and dignity, morality and efficiency are very troublesome to weigh.
If a knife is used on a normal person, problems can easily arise.
Even people like Shimura Danzo will be transformed into human beings and ghosts by various transformations. If the boss ends up like that, it is even worse. It is better to maintain dignity and live out his life than to linger like a monster. Be strong.
"I don't know what will happen in the end. Let's take it one step at a time. It depends on what my uncle and grandpa think."
"If everyone really agrees to extend their lives, how many more years can you let the old man live?"
"As short as three years, as long as ten years! Of course, this also depends on my future strength improvement. Once..."
Gu Shan Bu Shui didn't know how to say the following words.
If he successfully cultivates the fruit of the sacred tree and masters the complete power of the Otsutsuki tribe and the Ten-Tails, not to mention life extension, resurrection, reincarnation and rebuilding can be arranged.
The key is now, choice is crucial.
"You... really don't want his old man to pass away!"
"Well! Of course it would be best to be alive! But if he and his descendants don't agree, I won't have much to do."
The two of them had a conversation, Gushan Bushui took a short rest, said hello to a few little guys, and then went out.
Arriving at a family plot on the edge of the palace city, Gushan Bushui met his cousin Zhi Ji's family who arrived at about the same time.
"Are you here? I wonder how my uncle is doing?"
"It's okay for now."
Gushan Bushui took a few glances at Qianxia, who was already walking steadily and could hold his brother's hand and play waddlingly. He turned around and said seriously:
"Later, I will take you in for a visit. You will stay there tonight and come out at noon tomorrow. When the Zhengdan meeting is held, we will go to see the ceremony together."
"good!"
The main reason is that Uncle Zhiji's current official identity is just a steward of the Gushan family, and he cannot enter and leave the palace at all times to meet with the daimyo family.
After talking about the current situation, Gusugi Bushui asked him and Mrs. Mikoto to prepare. When the time came, they set off directly with Gusugi Bushui's special carriage.
When it was time for the family dinner in the evening, there were no outsiders, and Cousin Zhiji's family, who had been keeping a low profile, showed up.
Xiaohiira, Xiaojing, and Xiaoji are very happy about the arrival of Chinatsu and Ikki. There are really too few peers at home, and the time to get close to the children of the same age arranged by the retainers has not yet come. At least, they have to wait until they have gone through at least Only with enlightenment education can we play together.
At this time, Gusugi Bosui clearly felt that the Kaguya soul in Chinatsu was in a state of silence and was less active. On the contrary, Chinatsu's original soul was growing very fast.
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Isn't your spiritual growth rate slower than that of an indigenous child?"
Kosugi Fusui asked Otsutsuki Kaguya, who had not communicated well for a while,
"Is something wrong?"
"She's... very interesting, do you understand?"
Otsutsuki Kaguya, who has never talked about it, replied,
"In the ninja world, some children with special physiques are always born. When they are very young, they will show talents that are different from ordinary people. Because the ignorant villagers don't understand, they think they are possessed by evil spirits or reincarnated by ghosts. Most of these people... died from all kinds of torture and exclusion, and not many grew up smoothly."
"You mean, Chinatsu's physique is very special?"
"She is a rare, special blood descendant who can perfectly withstand the 'wedge'..."
"A natural constitution that easily attracts the covetousness of 'Adventors'?"
This kind of person can be described as a spiritual medium, saint, etc., and is a natural reserve agent for the gods.
"Essentially, her body and mind are very suitable for my strength. Every time I wake up and move around and transform my body, I am actually strengthening Qianxia. When she is awake, she is growing. When she is asleep, I help She grows. If I succeed in becoming a god in the future, she is the best candidate to become a god..."
"Recruiting guardians? You have too much time to take care of yourself right now, so don't think so much. In short, what you mean is that Chinatsu has adapted to part of your power and her growth rate is also increasing? How did you teach her in private?"
"My elder sister told my younger sister to be honest and not to cause trouble to others."
Although Chinatsu can now speak some simple sentences, she is still unable to express her thoughts completely and smoothly.
Fortunately, no one seemed to notice the child's abnormality, and even if they did, they did not complain.
There are many weird talents in the ninja world. A relative of the Kosugi family gave birth to a child with strange abilities and slightly weird behavior. Is it any wonder?
When Xiao Hiiragi couldn't speak, his ability to recognize people and guide him was better than many adults, but no one dared to make irresponsible remarks.
"In the future, after the threat is eliminated, will you still be willing to share a body with Chinatsu?"
"It depends on the situation! It depends on future development..."
"It's up to you! If you want to leave Qianxia's body in the future, where will you find a container?"
"So many 'wedges' outside have been thawed, there must be one that can carry my will!"
"No need to be so pessimistic! If you are willing, I will let you be born in another way..."
"In what way?"
"How were your two sons born? Learn from other people's success stories!"
"That's too troublesome! However, you reminded me that I can't place all my hopes on...that side. Since the 'wedge' here is the pure Otsutsuki stripped of all the power of the old Ten-Tails, I It can also breed and plant new sacred trees..."
"Wait, are you trying to steal natural energy from me?"
"I... don't need to compete with you. I am originally the 'Goddess of Mao', and my faith has never been cut off. There is no conflict with your water god. The water in the well does not conflict with the water in the river."
"You don't want me to help you rebuild the shrine and spread your faith? I don't have that much time!"
"I don't need you! I have a 'Saint'."
Hearing this, Gu Shan Bu Shui immediately knew what the other party meant.
"She? She is so young, and she is openly promoting the teachings of the 'Goddess of Mao'. Isn't she too arrogant? What if other 'Adventors' come to her door?"
"So, I have to change my name. The name of Sikangami, the clan god enshrined by your Kosugi family, is lent to me. It is suitable for Qianxia to be the shrine maiden of the ancestral temple. With this name, can't you also praise it? Your cousin? My daughter is a psychic witch appointed by the ancestral clan god. Isn’t that bad enough?"
The ancestor of Kosugi is a descendant of the Fujiwara clan, the strongest branch of the Genpei clan, which is in the same line as the daimyo. Over the years, in addition to a few members of the Eight Shrine Temples, there is indeed a tradition of respecting the incarnation of wisdom - Sikangami.
"Then do I have to cooperate with you in pretending to be a fool, tricking others, shutting up those who know, and letting those who don't know follow suit?"
"That's best!"
"You ask for too much, and there are not many benefits. Why should I worry about something that can be done or not done? This is not something that can be done easily, and thinking and thinking are not just for you."
"Although you have embarked on the right path, you haven't mastered the secret techniques of Yin-Yang Escape and Blood Successor Snare yet, right? If you don't want my guidance, just pretend I didn't say so."
"This... everything is negotiable!"
In exchange, Gu Shan Bu Shui wouldn't be able to consider it.
