Ninja Ice House

The Hokage House in Konoha Village, the meeting room has been closed for a long time. It is rare for a daimyo from Konoha Village to come. The first important thing to deal with is to smooth things over for the Uchiha family and the Hokage family.

What the effect is, in fact, everyone knows it well.

Fusugi Bosui, who pretended to be the secretary and watched for a while, quickly left with an excuse, found a place nearby to have a drink, and when he was enjoying himself, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and he lifted the curtain of the izakaya. Shimura Danzo, who was wrapped in bandages and dressed in a blue robe, came over.

"Ok?"

Rubbing his eyes, Gu Shan Bu Shui forced a smile on his face to refresh himself,

"Elder Danzo, long time no see."

"It's true that I have neglected to greet you in the past two years. The old man is already very faint, and the young governor is still in full bloom, which is really enviable."

"You can just call me divination. In the past ten years, I have relied on your care..."

The so-called diplomatic rhetoric is just that, just talk.

In more than ten years of life in Konoha Village, Shimura Danzo seldom gets along with Fusugi Bumizu alone, and the number of times they meet is not many, but they really give some convenience in private, and they care more than Sarutobi Hiruza .

Probably he also saved a good relationship, so that in the future, the higher-ups can use their momentum to reduce criticism.

It is valuable to win over, this is Gu Shan Bu Shui's judgment on himself.

"His Highness Bu Shui is polite. The old man also wants to contribute a little bit to your ninja journey, but unfortunately, the third generation is a bit stubborn..."

It's all Sarutobi Hiruzame's fault for being helpless and soft-spoken. If he becomes Hokage, he will definitely express his attitude differently.

"Your Highness?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui, who smiled wryly in his heart, shook his head slightly.

The ancient cedar family who lost their country, the crown of "king" on their heads is gone, after all, they actually hold great power, almost sharing the power of the land of fire with the daimyo, not to mention, they also have the daimyo's high-ranking succession right, He really deserves the title of prince.

However, in the past, when dealing with people close to him, they always called him Young Governor, Young Master, or Young Master. For example, Shimura Danzo, who is slightly alienated and has legitimate negotiating value, does not have many opportunities to talk about things.

In the past, when dealing with Maitekai, Mitarai Anko, and Kuroyuki, the ninja labels on his body were more obvious, and most of them were called by their first names to show their closeness.

If it is true, Gu Shan Bu Shui appeared in front of civilians who knew his honorable status openly, and he really had to call him "Dian" or "Xiang".

Shimura Danzo called him so, but it really meant something close, which made Gusugi Bumizu feel relieved.

"Elder Danzang probably didn't come here for the purpose of chatting. I wonder if I can enlighten you?"

"I would like to hear His Highness Bu Shui's opinion on the situation in the village. During the daimyo's mediation meeting, His Highness is here to drink freely. It doesn't seem very optimistic."

"Is it necessary to be optimistic?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui shrugged helplessly,

"If the third generation and the Uchiha patriarch are arguing endlessly, fighting with each other, and you come and go, there is some value. It is obvious that they are about to fight each other, but they say those insincere words, almost to the extent of drinking and talking, which is obviously perfunctory. "

There is no politeness of any substantive communication, the two parties are just making excuses to save face for the new daimyo.

Even if it was a fight on the spot, Gu Shan Bu Shui felt that this mediation had practical significance, now...

Seemingly aware of the real thoughts of Gusugi Bumizu who was humming coldly with a deep nasal voice, Shimura Danzo put on a regretful expression and said:

"There is a long way to go for the two sides to live in peace. If there is a conflict, what is Gu Shan's position?"

"We have no position and will always support the victor. As long as the overall strength of Muye Village does not fall, we can protect the interests of the Fire Nation from foreign enemies, and we can turn a blind eye to some minor details. It's just..."

After drinking the remaining wine in the cup, Gu Shan Bu Shui sighed,

"It's a pity that Uchiha will die here..."

"Your Highness Bu Shui, don't you think Uchiha will become Hokage?"

"I'm not blind yet."

Taking advantage of his youthful and frivolous attitude, Gu Shan Bu Shui said with a bold smile,

"Elder Danzo don't need to test. Although I am interested in the path of ninja, it does not mean that the Gusugi family will interfere in the internal affairs of Konoha Village. The daimyo is not interested in leapfrog jurisdiction. The so-called running is just to try to resolve differences. I hope that the old Comrades can start well and end well, and will not fight because of misunderstandings. Do your best and obey the fate!"

"So, the old man understands."

Shimura Danzo nodded in satisfaction, this is also his estimate of the secular power, the deviation is not too big, Gushan Bushui just gave a reassurance.

As long as the Gusugi family doesn't directly join forces with Uchiha and let the situation get out of control, everything will be under control.

After finishing the business, Shimura Danzo smiled happily and said:

"Princess Liuli and Your Excellency Zhengcheng didn't come this year. It's a pity. Please ask His Highness Bu Shui to send you greetings."

"Grandfather is not in good health, and having relatives to take care of him can also comfort his old man's heart. When he is old and stays alone, it is easy to think about messy things."

Speaking of the former daimyo, Fusugi Bumizu was born in the Warring States Period, grew up under the shadow of Senjujuma and Uchiha Madara, succeeded to the throne logically, survived all the ninja wars without any danger, and lived in peace. The grandfather, who abdicated to let the virtuous and cared for his life, was still a little curious.

The current situation of the Kingdom of Fire is not unrelated to his subtly changing people's views during his reign.

Overall evaluation, among the previous monarchs, it can be regarded as an upper-middle level. He has been a Taiping daimyo for decades, and then handed over a prosperous Fire Kingdom to his son.

In contrast, the Hokages in Konoha Village were basically ordered in danger, or ended up dying, which is really a bit miserable.

"I heard about it years ago. I originally wanted to visit the doctor, but everything was complicated and I couldn't get away."

Well, the so-called visits have been really diligent over the years. Shimura Danzo has done many things in order to become Hokage and conquer the ninja world. Wanting to have a sense of presence in front of the daimyo is just one of them.

It's a pity that neither the daimyo nor Gusugi Bumizu's mother liked this "Darkness of the Ninja World" known for its conspiracies and tricks, let alone in-depth cooperation.

Fortunately, there was a Gushan Bushui who had no prejudice against ninjas and did not reject cooperation with the "root" organization.

"In addition, I heard that the Gushan family and Inuzuka have jointly established a psychic beast breeding base, and the spread is not small."

Gu Shan Bu Shui had no intention of hiding the temptation from the other side, and nodded generously to admit it.

"It's a very valuable attempt. Everyone gets what they need, and it can also give the government more choices. There are always some things that are not suitable for hiring ninjas to do it openly..."

Not to mention the issue of privacy, the positions of the Gushan family and Konoha Ninja are not completely consistent, and the relationship between cooperation and mutual benefit does not mean that there is no competition.

Shimura Danzo is also well aware of this.

"Psychic beast... We also have some research in our hands, but unfortunately..."

The replacement of each key ninja tool is a big event for Ninja Village. For example, the detonating talisman more than ten years ago is different from now. The cost has been reduced a lot, but the power has been strengthened a lot. The biggest advantage is stability. , and easy to control.

Of course, the prerequisite for achieving this goal is large-scale production, a smooth supply chain, and logistics speed that can keep up.

In this regard, it is not good for Ninja Village to go directly to integrate resources. A big force like the Gushan Family has the opportunity to deepen its influence into Muye Village in a disguised form.

If psychic beasts are popular, and a ninja branch of psychics really evolves, it will inevitably affect the structure of the ninja world, and the resulting redistribution of benefits will cause a series of turmoil.

As a result, research is possible, but popularization and application are difficult.

Of course, if there is a force of the size of the Gushan family to promote it, the resistance will undoubtedly be much smaller.

The two absent-mindedly talked a little bit about psychic beasts, and then Gu Shan Bu Shui suddenly said:

"By the way, we also cooperate with the Anma family. The daughter of Anma Congyun has a good relationship with Xianglin."

"Pommel horse?"

Shimura Danzo still has a deep impression of this declining fringe ninja. The illusion-type blood successor limit is very famous. It's not that the Kurama people have any great achievements, but this kind of blood succession limit is really too rare. Even Muye Village is unique.

Rare things are valuable, especially when there is only one seedling left.

The little girl Kurama Yakumo is not unnoticed. She has awakened the blood succession limit at a young age. Her aptitude is definitely not bad, but her physical condition is not good and she has obvious shortcomings.

And this is almost a common problem among pommel horse people.

Defective ninja types are definitely not in line with the future trend of ninja development.

Therefore, even if there is still room for salvation, Konoha Village still did not do anything to Kurama Yakumo, but only provided basic convenience and allowed him to develop freely.

"Is that little girl getting better?"

"No, I've already started trying to improve it, but it's worth not mentioning the result."

It's really so easy to solve, and it's not Gushan Bushui's turn to come to him.

"Ah……"

Shimura Danzo, who was feeling very relieved when he saw that Gu Shan Bu Shui was deflated, still warmly comforted him,

"Whether it's Inuzuka or Kurama, the help to His Highness Bu Shui's ninja path is really too biased. If you don't mind, you can let the people under the old man's command come to give advice."

"That's a good feeling."

There is no reason to refuse the cooperation that came to your door. Gushan Bushui just wanted to have a chat with the "root" organization, and after getting acquainted, see if he can get some good things out.

In the last transaction, I changed the Forbidden Technique · Ghoul Sealing, which is already very satisfying. It would be great if I could get a batch of first-generation cells, or the extremely powerful Forbidden Technique.

"I'll get someone to contact Elder Danzang later. I don't know what I can give you in return?"

For a transaction, you have to put forward conditions for each other, so that the cooperation can continue on the basis of reciprocity.

If you pay or benefit unilaterally, it will either not last long or there will be traps.

"There are some things that are not easy to dispose of. It's a pity to discard them. I don't feel at ease entrusting them to others at will. Therefore, I need a very safe partner. In addition, I also need some 'experimental materials' and other conveniences. After all, Some things, the goal is too big, it is not convenient in the village."

"I... probably understand."

Real biological research requires a large number of "guinea pigs" or "volunteers".

In this world, how can there be so many lunatics who are so cruel to themselves that they would sell themselves in exchange for money, power or other things?

Many years ago, Orochimaru did not hesitate to arrest his compatriots for live experiments, and was finally exposed and driven away. This is a lesson from the past.

The size of the ninja village is too small, and some things are not easy to do. Doing it outside involves the world and the government. There are no collaborators who cover up, so it is not safe.

After pondering for a while, Gu Shan Bu Shui finally compromised:

"There is still such a thing as justice in this world. There are some things that our Gushan family will not do. At most, we just turn a blind eye and close one eye, as if we don't know. The bandits were caught and executed, and we will execute these criminals who have more than enough time to die, and some of them are 'volunteers' who may be willing to 'contribute' to the common cause of all mankind, what do you think?"

"That's it? Isn't it too 'shallow'! Maybe we can expand the scope and let qualified people join in. There is always something higher than life and death, and someone is willing to pay for it..."

"The price of life?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui couldn't hide the persistence in his heart,

"There are always some idiots who don't know the cruelty of this world and their own value. We can't use money, glory or even coercion to make them make wrong decisions. Instead, we must protect them and prevent them from going astray. As for some people who have already I don't bother to protect criminals who have lost their qualifications as human beings."

In name, the rights of villains should actually be protected, but in the ninja world, when it comes to fairness and justice, it is not good to be too rigid about rules and regulations.

Some existences are not only becoming inhuman in behavior, but also not purely human in race. Let them die a little more simply, or have a little value, and make up for their sins is already the limit.

The slaughterhouse-like human breeding ground in Xiongzhiguo is still lingering in Gusugi Bumizu's mind. There are worse ninja worlds than that. If good people are all limited to rules or ethics, they dare not go beyond the limits One step, how to contend with unscrupulous villains?

"His Highness Bu Shui, you are indeed a little innocent and romantic of a young man, but I admire you a little. If such a young man was born in Muye Village, he must be the best successor of the 'root' organization."

"It can be regarded as a rare compliment. Thank you for your good words, I hope that I can walk on the road of ninja smoothly."

The so-called human experiments are always done by someone, and there will definitely be someone who violates human ethics and morality. At least under the attention of Gushan Bushui, the minimum bottom line can be maintained.

After Shimura Danzo left, Otsutsuki Kaguya taunted in the heart of Gu Shanbu:

"Most of the so-called intelligent life is on the road of 'eating people', and the foundation of the birth of civilization lies in the respect and fear of death. Therefore, if you don't eat it, you can give it to others in exchange for benefits. , or to be eaten by tigers and wolves, and then eat the meat of tigers and wolves?"

"In my opinion, some people are not worthy of being human, including Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru."
