Ninja Ice House

June [-]th is Xianglin's birthday. In this season of enthusiasm, Xianglin is about to cross the threshold of eight years old.

At this age, girls already have obvious gender differences. Some secrets will be shared with girls of the same age and discussed with their mothers, but it is extremely unlikely to discuss them with their fathers and grandfathers.

This is probably a common problem that fathers with daughters in the world will encounter.

After being a strict father for less than three years, the daughter is about to grow up, which really catches people off guard.

"Fortunately, I still have Hiiragi, Kagami and Tsuki."

Gu Shanzheng was lovingly hugging his second granddaughter who was obsessed with eating, and complained sourly in his heart,

"If there is any problem now, Xianglin will not write to me secretly."

"Eh? You also had a secret relationship with her..."

Gushan Zhengcheng teased angrily,

"Why didn't I see you treat me like this before, always side with my mother to sanction my maverick?"

"You also know that is inappropriate. You are the only child, how can it be the same? It is impossible for me to oppose your mother..."

"Okay. I finally understand that there is a reason why grandparents like the youngest child. When the grandchildren grow up, they no longer depend on each other, so they have to 'transfer their love' to the younger child."

Gu Shan Bu Shui really didn't expect that the old father would have such a serious "daughter slave" plot. I'm afraid he would complain about not being able to give birth to a girl and only having a son like Gu Shan Bu Shui.

"Obviously, the family has prepared a very big celebration, and I have to spend it with my classmates on my birthday. Isn't it too disappointing, so you don't worry?"

"It's not that I won't come back, I will still be with my family at night."

Gu Shan Bu Shui casually advised.

Because Hongye couldn't come over in time, Xianglin was not very interested, so she had a small gathering with friends during the day.

In terms of personal friendship and private affairs, Xiang Rin also began to have her own ideas.Many times, fathers and grandfathers were out of hand.

The two people who were talking gently shook their cattail fans, fanning the three little guys.

The summer heat was getting heavier, and the little girl in thin clothes began to have fine beads of sweat.

Not only to cool them down, but also to worry about mosquito bites.Don’t think that everything will be fine before dark. Earlier, Gushan Bushui personally sprayed potions to kill ticks, clean up water stains, and install screen doors and windows, just to let his three daughters sleep peacefully.

Fortunately, Jing Heji, who is a little weak, has been taken care of well recently, and has not been acclimatized to the inland Konoha Village from the coastal Yuqi Island.

After all, they inherited the blood of the Uzumaki family. Even if they were born with deficiencies, the benefits brought by the immortal body can make them immune to many diseases.

Satisfyingly drank up the special milk, Xiao Hiiragi raised her eyes and looked around, but she didn't find that sister Xianglin, who was one size bigger, smashed her small mouth for some unknown reason, turned over unsteadily, landed on all fours, and faced the mirror and Si Crawling over in the direction of the person, staring wide-eyed, and humming a few words from time to time, I don't know what they are communicating.

"Xiao Hiiragi is a child who has a strong desire to control, and is also very curious. I am afraid that he will be much more naughty than Xianglin in the future."

Gu Shan Bu Shui watched the three sisters "interact" with a smile, and commented softly.

To some extent, Xiao Hiiragi is a "winner" who grew up by plundering part of Kagami and Tsukasa's aptitude, and his potential is even better than that of Karin.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Gu Shan Bu Shui believes that the current Xiang Lin is much more powerful and has better aptitude than the weak and weak girl who was wandering in the original timeline.

"I'm wondering if the bloodline of the Gushan family also has some hidden characteristics."

"How to say?"

The old father is also quite curious about this question. In history, it is not that there are no Gushan people who are committed to improving their personal strength, but almost none of them have gone as far and as deep as Gushan Bushui.

"Zhongzheng is peaceful and stable, which is the distinctive feature of the Gushan people. For more than 1000 years, our family has almost no serious genetic diseases. No matter which family's blood is mixed in, there will be no conflict."

Of course, this "no conflict" does not mean that the fusion of the two blood lineages has no sequelae, but that the bad traits tend to disappear, and the good traits are more likely to appear.

If I had to give one evaluation, it would be the self-adaptive "good wife" bloodline, which may not have strong abilities in itself, but it can give another kind of blood inheritance the wings to take off.

"Is there such a thing?"

Gu Shan Zhengcheng patted the fat hand of Xiao Hiiragi who was mischievously grabbing his beard and hair, and fondled his chin with his fingers. The sensitive place was "attacked", and the little guy squinted his eyes comfortably, lying on the bed Grandfather's lap to cool off.

"For so many years, the Gushan family has almost never produced a particularly stupid guy. Whether it is IQ or physical fitness, they are far above the average level. Not very conspicuous. In essence, we are a family of geniuses comparable to Uchiha and Senju. The top talents are not comparable, and the average quality actually has a slight advantage."

Let's go and give it a try. 】

"When you say that..."

Gushan Zhengcheng nodded.

Indeed, among the ancestors of Gushan and the daimyo's predecessors, there were some mavericks, and there was no shortage of people who did things absurdly, but there were almost no people who were really evaluated as stupid, which was very scary.

You know, even the famous Uchiha clan, who turned on Sharingan and became jounin, only accounted for one-tenth of the clansmen who embarked on the road of ninja.

"Patriarch Gushan's lower limit is indeed very high."

Of course, not everyone is wiser, and there are fluctuations in ability.

"but……"

Gu Shan Bu Shui said very frankly,

"There is still something to be gained by counting the actions of the clansmen of the past dynasties. For example, positive qualities such as kindness, bravery, and perseverance seem to boost the power of the Gushan Clan. "

The Chakra reincarnations of Asura and Indra are the wave-makers of the past, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto are the sons of destiny who determine the direction of the world.

However, until the "key players" emerge as the times require to turn the gears of fate, the world still has to turn, and some hidden forces are still at work.

To a certain extent, the daimyo and the Gusugi do have a sense of "desire to be ordered by the heavens". They are born with a certain destiny.

It's just that this kind of "swipe of fate" is not as immediate as Uchiha Zuosuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

"Several Taizheng officials have investigated what you said, but there are no conclusive findings. Just like we know that every few years, a large number of whales wash up on the beach, stranding and killing group suicides once or twice on the east coast. It has become a world anecdote, but no one knows why this happened."

Of course, it can be said that the evil does not suppress the good, the righteous will get more help, the unjust will not help, and those who win the hearts of the people will have to explain it from the world, but this also cannot make Gu Shan Bu Shui feel at ease.

"This world is not upright or kind, and many places are ugly, but it is spiritual and encourages all good characters including integrity, kindness, bravery, and perseverance. In other words, love and peace are true. Endogenous forces exist. I am not sure whether this is endowed by the world, or the collective will of the primates of all things - the collective will of human beings. In short, good returns are really meaningful, especially for us For the Gu Shan family, it is even more so."

The descendants of "Momotaro" seem to be born with part of the authority of fate. As long as they follow the ancient cedar road as recorded in the family tree and family rules, they will be blessed with a halo of gain.

Normally, this kind of benefit is not very obvious, but over time, the benefits to the clansmen will be extremely considerable.

In the past, the core people of Gushan almost never cared about the road of "returning the mighty power to themselves". As Gushan's power became stronger and stronger, and even controlled the natural spirit of Haifangzhu to pretend to be the "God of Rivers", they could understand that, naturally A part of the energy is cheering for the revival of some ancient power.

Under normal circumstances, this hidden benefit would at most allow the Gushan people to enjoy their prosperity and wealth, but for Gushan Bushui, Xianglin and others, it was different.

This point is evident in the energetic Xiao Hiiragi. As parasitic fetuses, Jing and Si were able to survive in a near-death environment until Gushan Bushui changed their fate against the sky. do things.

"Except for not being able to become a Konoha ninja, my luck has always been good since I was a child. Everything I do is relatively smooth. There are very few hurdles that I can't get past. Even if there are difficulties, I will survive. , passed without any danger."

If he hadn't known that this era belonged to Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, Fusugi Bumizu would have doubted whether he had usurped the destiny and became a key figure in determining the future of the world.

Even the matter of Zhi Jibiao, if you look at it from another angle, it is a desperate attempt to survive.According to his arrangement, it is absolutely impossible to succeed, and it is even very possible that the family will be ruined.However, after being refrigerated for so many years, he has matured a lot, and met Gushan Bushui, a junior. Looking at the problem from another perspective, is there hope that the curve will realize the ideal?

"Do you want to say that our family is the embodiment of justice, as long as we obey the heavens and do justice for the heavens, we can enjoy peace?"

Gushan Zhengcheng sneered and said,

"You can think so, but don't expect too much."

"I know, I won't pin my hopes on the illusory fate. But just ask for peace of mind and a clear conscience. Senshou lost the first generation of Hokage, and he fell into a slump. Uchiha valued Sharingan too much, and almost wiped out the family. Hinata It is even more like a slave bound by white eyes. Not to mention it is just the favor of fate, even if it is the child of destiny, I have to consider whether to listen to it."

As proud as ancient Shan Bushui, he will use all favorable conditions to achieve his goals, but he will never become a tool man driven by current events.

……

At the same time, the second trial of the Chunin Exam has lasted for a day and a half. In two or three days, the third trial will be decided. When several senior teachers are busy competing in the death forest, Xiang Lin is practicing flower embossing skills with a few friends.

"It seems that the enthusiasm is not very high."

Yamanaka Ino poked Xiang Rin's waist with his elbow, and asked with a smile,

"Today is your birthday, you should be happy."

"My mother's liner was late because of the strong wind, and it may not be able to catch up today. It's a pity."

"Your father and grandfather are not here, they will always arrange it?"

"Ah."

Xianglin rested her chin lazily, and responded in a slightly dazed way,

"There are a lot of preparations, and my mother is not here, so I can't go on."

Last year's birthday party, Xianglin invited many students to the party, which was relatively lively. This year's situation is special, and the preparation time is limited. There is no grand banquet, but the family celebrates in private.

In fact, it's no wonder that Hongye made a slip of the tongue. Some things cannot be undone by manpower.Because she got started late, although Hongye has also practiced some basic ninjutsu, it is far worse than a formal ninja, and cannot ignore the influence of harsh natural conditions.

In the days when a typhoon passes through, not to mention ordinary people, even ninjas dare not walk through the sea with huge waves.

"In life, there are many unsatisfactory things. You are also eight years old. You should be considerate of your parents' difficulties."

The elder Kurama Yakumo lightly flicked the embossed work in his hand, nodded with satisfaction,

"Last time I saw Naruto Uzumaki eating snacks for his birthday alone, and there was no one celebrating."

"He..."

When mentioning that blond-haired brat, Xianglin couldn't help laughing or crying,

"He said he would prepare a great birthday present for me, and then worship me as a teacher. I don't know what's going on recently."

The rowdy guy actually doesn't have a good relationship with his classmates, and Inuzuka Kiba, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Choji occasionally play together, which can be regarded as the "comrades in arms" cultivated by skipping classes.

It was still early to leave the dessert house to pick up cakes, and the girls were chatting and laughing to pass the time. The battle in the forest of death was already heating up, and Asuma Sarutobi, who received an application for help, took two Chunin to shuttle in the In the tall and dense forest, several candidates who had lost their mobility were rescued from time to time.

Except for two serious injuries, the others are all fine.

There are quite a lot of candidates this year, [-] people entered the second test, and in the end no more than ten were retained to advance to the third test, and [-]% of the candidates will be eliminated. The selection is really strict.

"This year's Konoha candidates don't seem to have any outstanding characters."

During the intermission of the search and rescue, Sarutobi Asma stood on the top of a tree, lit a cigarette, and talked casually.

An outstanding child, he was promoted to Chunin in the first two years. These two years can be regarded as a short period of time. There are some ninjas who are well-behaved characters, and very few have specialties.

Konoha Village is known as the cradle of geniuses, and it is not every year that powerful ninjas take the Chunin exam.

The performance of Sand Ninja and Mist Ninja is not very good, but small ninja villages such as Kusanagi, Rain Ninja, and Hoshinin have candidates who come out from time to time.

"The chakras are gathering over there, it seems that there will be a large-scale melee, go and have a look..."
