Ninja Ice House

<!--go-->

Not long after, Naruto III Sarutobi Hirzen called a meeting of several senior advisers to discuss matters related to the ninja school, especially the positioning of foreign students.

"Over the past few decades, we have recruited a lot of civilian students in the Land of Fire, and there are very few noble children. Families with a little background will not let their children become ninjas. However, changes have taken place in recent years..."

Although the ninja came to the money quickly, he died very quickly.The degree of danger is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.Coupled with the super high elimination rate and not low investment, well-off families are not willing to come to Muye Village to seek life. Only restless children who have a narrow way out but are unwilling to be a mud-legged child who can do nothing will be willing to take the risk of becoming a precarious ninja .

Gushan Bushui is not the first nobleman to come to Konoha Village Ninja School, but he is the one with the biggest background.Since he started, more and more visitors from outside the village began to linger in Muye Village. Even if they have been educated in ninja schools, it is basically impossible for them to become official ninjas. In addition to contributing a large amount of tuition to Muye Village, they also It will not really have an impact on Konoha Ninja's system.

If Muye Village takes a fancy to individual talents with extraordinary talents, they can win them over with some means.

But Bai was different, standing behind him was a big money lord and big creditor who couldn't be provoked at will - Gu Shan Bu Shui.

"That boy from the Gushan family who is not easy to mess with, the meaning in his words is very clear. It's fine if he was fooled before, but if he really takes the power belonging to the daimyo for himself, he must clearly explain his rights and responsibilities The distinction between special armed forces such as Anbe and Guardian Ninja, if there is a conflict between Daimyo and Hokage's orders, who should I listen to, and whether Konoha Ninja should obey Daimyo's direct orders..."

The Konoha Ninja obeys Hokage, and Hokage is directly responsible to the Fire Ninja Daimyo, but the Daimyo does not give orders to specific ninjas, but buys Konoha Ninja's force for his own use through the task contract model.

To put it bluntly, Konoha Village is still a ninja organization rooted in the Nation of Fire, but it belongs to the Nation of Fire in name, but in essence it is a "country within a country". It is basically impossible for the daimyo to enter Konoha Village.

Regarding Bai's ownership, it is a good opportunity for both parties to put their respective requirements on the table, talk about them in detail, and work out a closer cooperation model.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's words made everyone frown. Shimura Danzo, who had already controlled his new body well, looked at the faces of his compatriots calmly, and forced back what he wanted to say.

After thinking about it, Mitomon Yan said:

"This year's coming-of-age festival, should you invite daimyo to watch the ceremony? The last time a daimyo joined us was when the second generation was alive."

"Can."

It is not a problem for several people to discuss an internal plan, but if the daimyo disagrees, it is useless. It is also a good thing to find an opportunity to sit down and discuss some substantive issues.

The matter discussed this time is not particularly important, but it will have a profound impact on the future, and the daimyo will not lose face.Of course, the daimyo will definitely not be involved in the specific affairs, and the person in charge of the negotiation should be Gusugi Masaki, who has just succeeded the Minister of the Taizheng.

As a "husband-in-law", reaching the status of being below one person and above ten thousand people is enough to prove this person's ability.Even though in the current political structure of the Kingdom of Fire, the left minister and the right minister share a large part of power, the Taizheng minister is still the veritable head of the prime minister.

"That family of theirs is really united enough, without suspicion at all?"

Turning to bed Xiaochun complained dissatisfiedly,

"For so many years, I haven't heard anything dirty about the two families. Isn't it normal?"

Mitomon said with a sigh:

"It was originally a division of two brothers who were connected with each other, and there were marriages every now and then. They were said to be two families, but they were actually two hilltops of a family. Speaking of which, it was the early generations who made them what they are now. The handwriting of Meme and Uchiha Madara..."

If it weren't for the fact that Konoha Village at its peak had suppressed Hirashi Gushan and bowed to Genji, the Kingdom of Fire might have split into two big kingdoms, the East and the West.

Although the fire country daimyo and the Gusugi family also have open and secret struggles, it is generally an internal competition between you and me.

Relationship, in terms of competing with Muye Village for the right to speak, it must be consistent with the outside world.

"Obviously powerful, why did you let such a behemoth like the Nation of Fire eliminate internal turmoil? Teachers...you are sure to subdue those great nobles, haven't you considered that the descendants don't have that ability?"

Shimura Danzo expressed his dissatisfaction to everyone present in a hawkish manner, and Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned and replied:

"Ninja Village is an organization rooted at the grassroots level. Without the backing of a powerful country, the three Ninja World Wars would have dragged us down long ago."

It is precisely because of the backing of the powerful and prosperous Fire Nation that after each ninja war, Konoha Village can quickly recover its strength and win the next challenge.

The Land of Fire with constant internal strife is bound to affect the reconstruction of Konoha Village.

"But... isn't it a bit too strong?"

On this point, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun agrees with Shimura Danzo,

"While Nidaime was still around, how could such a thing happen? It was up to us to discuss who should become Hokage, and we didn't need to care about Daimyo's opinion. Now, there are still so many scruples when we want to recruit a talented child. "

Insufficient strength, controlled by others.In the final analysis, this is the case, especially in recent years, the strength of the Gushan family has expanded too much, and it is even suspected of negotiating directly across Muye Village, Wuyin Village, and Yunyin Village.

The independence of Muye Village seems to be challenged.

"It's better not to say anything that destroys the harmonious relationship between the village and the daimyo. We need to work together to tide over the difficulties now."

Which of the basic necessities of Muye Village does not require the Gushan family to provide convenience?

The current debt of the entire village is astonishingly high. If there is a real quarrel with the daimyo and the Gusugi family, more than half of the villagers will go bankrupt immediately.

A fire on the night of the Uchiha genocide destroyed half of Konoha Village, and Konoha Village also made many concessions, which made the Gusugi family determined to support the reconstruction of Konoha Village.

Carrying heavy debts is not terrible, the Konoha ninjas can still afford it, but if the tacit understanding of sincere cooperation is broken, it will be dangerous.

Fighting and killing is only part of the necessary work to maintain a ninja village, even a small part. How to feed more villagers and keep the ninja team motivated and vigorous is not an easy task.

"Don't say anything superfluous, now we need to confirm the bottom line, what kind of conditions are acceptable, and what exceed the conditions that we firmly disagree with."

After thinking about it, Mitomon Yan said:

"To put it bluntly, the problem we have encountered is still the lack of background, insufficient money to support the villagers, and poor ability to resist risks. There is another point..."

After a pause, Uncle Mitomonyan, who is in charge of intelligence, said calmly:

"The fighters who are making a fuss in the Land of Fire have established many large and small guilds, which put a lot of pressure on the ninja's mission?"

"Huh? The so-called "Fighters Alliance" is not just an association of fans, but a spoiler that competes with ninjas for business? "

"You can't say that either."

Mito Menyan pushed the thick-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied,

"They are not like ninjas who sell their force to complete tasks, but like movie stars and well-known writers, they are commercial self-discipline associations that use image packaging, sell influence and peripheral profits. Although they do not directly compete with Ninja Village, they are submitted to the society. The missions of ninjas have indeed decreased.”

"No, I often go to the mission hall to check, and the total amount doesn't seem to have changed. Wait..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's expression changed, and he immediately understood what was going on.

The demand for ninjas in the Nation of Fire society is declining, but the total number of tasks is increasing, which shows that individual donors have a huge amount of tasks.The reason for this bizarre phenomenon directly points to the Gushan family who are deeply involved in the reconstruction plan of Muye Village.

Once Gushan Bushui interrupts the cooperation with Muye Village, the ninjas will drink the Northwest Wind.The Nation of Fire community, which has been squeezed heavily, is gradually getting rid of its dependence on ninja force. On the contrary, Muye Village seems to be difficult to be self-sufficient without the support of the Gusugi family.

Of course, this is the worst possible outcome

, It may happen in the future, but now it is just a clue, far from that serious.

Even so, Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

"Is this a coincidence or intentional?"

For the former, it’s okay to say that Muye Village has strong strength. As long as it has an extremely strong military force, it will not be afraid of all kinds of challenges. If it is the latter, everyone here has to think about how to maintain the integrity of the village in this war without gunpowder smoke. Interests are not violated.

After discussing for a long time, several people still reached a consensus that their respect for the name would not be shaken, and they would try their best to recruit a genius like Bai, even at the expense of some unimportant interests.

The core competitiveness of Ninja Village is to be able to fight. If this does not exist, it will really be impossible to stand up against the fire country daimyo.

……

On Yuqi Island, the "King of Fighters" Regional Challenge has come to an end, and the number of tourists coming and going has not decreased. After the coming-of-age festival, the island will not accept external tourists until the time of the spring festival, when it is close to the semi-finals and finals.

In less than half a month, Yuqi Island will be closed again. Many people who were moved by the news cherished this limited holiday time even more.

The festival celebrations of the Gushan family are indeed very different from those of the outside world.

"There will be another round of fireworks show tonight. The seats on the viewing platform are already full, and the ticket price has doubled, and the supply is still in short supply. The most exaggerated is the soul lamp. flow……"

The so-called soul-sacrificing lanterns are divided into two types, one is a paper lantern that drifts along the water like a cotton stream offering sacrifices to ancestors and reassures the soul, and eliminates disasters;

This kind of event is everywhere in the ninja world, each with its own characteristics, but none of them are as famous as the one held by the Gusugi family.

Hundreds of years ago, this was a ceremony that only the chosen race of the royal family could participate in, but it is also popular today. The ninja world is no exception to the trend of "in the old days, the swallows in front of Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people".

The dew was heavy at night, and the sea breeze was gentle. In a carriage, they boarded the roof opened by the Gushan family. Holding on not to sleep, the cold sea breeze blew me away, and I opened my eyes immediately, looking at the sky and the flickering lights on the water.

"Xiang Rin didn't watch the lantern here for the first time until she was four years old. You guys have taken advantage of it."

"Ah……"

The father's teasing words made Hongye smile and took out a handkerchief, and wiped the drool around the child's small mouth,

"It's so small, I may not remember when I first came here in the future."

"Um."

Gu Shan Bu Shui grabbed the two threads that bound the soul sacrificial lamp, and let Si Hejing grab it. The two little guys tugged curiously for a long time, and then let go when they were tired of playing. go.

"I went to see the report of the internal affairs office. I sold viewing tickets and soul lamps, and earned money for [-] S-level tasks. How many S-level tasks are completed in Muye Village in a year?"

"In peaceful times, hundreds of them, about one every three days on average."

After thinking for a while, Gu Shan Bu Shui replied,

"There are about three Konoha Murakami Shinobi who are killed every year on duty, and Konoha Village's S-level task cordon is stuck at about 5.00%, and three is considered low."

Therefore, in one day today, Muye Village has to sacrifice a Jonin every day to earn back the money Gushan Bushui made.

"In the world of fighting and killing, strength is very important, but if you only know how to fight and kill, you will spend your whole life being a sword for others."

It is correct for Uchiha Madara and Senju Zhuma to jointly establish Konoha Village. It is actually a disadvantage to fight against the entire country with the size of a family. Except for the giants such as the Uchiha family and Senju family, everyone In some cases, the monarchs of great powers can still control the situation.

Now, it is considered a situation where the Ninja Village and the Daimyo Chamber are contending, but it is actually not bad, and everyone is living a nourishing life within the scope of their own cognition.

However, the times are constantly changing, and Ninja Village will not always be a secret thug, and the daimyo is also afraid that one day he will be taken away.

Instead.

"It doesn't matter if you have no strength at all, you are too weak, and you don't even have the qualifications to compete in the stage."

Thinking of the disaster of genocide in the country of vortex, Hongye sighed, then changed the subject and asked,

"What's going on with Uncle Jiki? I heard that the atmosphere is awkward..."

"I don't know, I didn't go again."

"So take the children out to watch the lanterns, and hide from the right and wrong?"

On this point, Hongye guessed quite accurately.

In the past, when the family reunited, the atmosphere would always be a little awkward because of the matter of Momiji and Karin. From now on, Uncle Ariji Kikuo will take the place and bear the criticism of the older generation.

"That Mrs. Meiqin has a good temper and has always behaved decently. Even if others are rude, she still responds politely."

"It's not a matter of the heart. I hope there will be no problems with Uncle Jiji..."

Get married early, it is best to give birth to the child by the end of the year, hurry up, and you can have two or three children.

"Isn't the ninja world too mediocre recently?You have to do something big to attract attention, so don't just focus on the Gushan family. 』<!--over-->
