Ninja Ice House

The status of this Chunin Exam, and

The situation in the "King of Fighters" challenge is similar. The average level of the third test is still very high, even exceeding the average level of previous years. However, there are not many dominant masters, and the competition seems to be extremely fierce.

The influence of accidental factors becomes greater, making it more difficult to judge the outcome, and on the contrary, it increases the enjoyment of the ring competition.

Without Uchiha, Hinata, and a host of well-known ninja geniuses, the audience is also very satisfied with this Zhongnin exam.

Geniuses don't come often, but this

The competition filled with "hard-working geniuses" is the mainstream.After the semi-finals, in order to give enough preparation time for the candidates who competed for the winner, the examination room left time for the audience to have lunch, and to watch the final showdown in the afternoon.

"Bushui..." Asked the attendants to serve the prepared delicacies, after eating a few mouthfuls of light rice balls and tea soup in the tray, the boss who lost his appetite looked at Gushan Shaodu who was leaning on the railing in the front row shouted,

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

"Eh? Here we come!" When I was a child, Gu Shan Bu Shui was still very popular with my grandfather. At that time, the boss was not weak with age spots. He seemed dull, but in fact he was wise and capable. With his relatively weak strength, It is also somewhat capable to suppress the influence of Muye Village, and he is a quite powerful monarch.

"What's your order?"

"Order or something, it's too serious, I just have something to ask you. How many princes of our Genpei Second Clan are there?"

"We still have two Ping clans, and Genji, there are three. Two of them are already waiting to be inherited, and there is only one that is really vacant." In the land of fire, the real master is actually inheriting Genji's The daimyo Heping family passed down the Gushan family, and each family has only three branches in name.

"Yujia", that is, close relatives with inheritance rights, can be called the prince's branch.In fact, the two main families have long regarded these things that could threaten their own power.

The "Iron Hat King" was divided into several small families, and their strength declined.Fusugi Jiji was deposed, the daimyo directly let Princess Liuli inherit the family name, recruited Fusugi Masaki, those big and small

"Prince" didn't dare to fart, only dared to complain in private.The reverse is also the same. If the main branch of the daimyo is extinct, the so-called

"Genji Yusanjia" can only watch as usual, and Gushan will inherit the position of daimyo as his step-heir.The marriage of the two direct lineages has actually long since wiped out the hope of a side branch counterattack.

As for the non-inherited

There are even more "Yu Sanqing", except that they have no nominal inheritance rights, and they are no different from direct descendants.

"Of the two children of the Zhiji family, choose one to inherit the title of prince from Genji." Originally, the Gushan family

"Gui Palace" was prepared for Ji Biaojiu, adding one more, that is, from the territory directly under the daimyo, and then divide it into a fief.

"You are so generous! I definitely have no objection, I don't know what my cousin thinks..." Gushan Bushui whispered, glancing at Uncle Zhiji who was coaxing the child with Mrs. Meiqin not far away,

"I know you want to make up for it, but, won't Uncle Zhiji feel overwhelmed by the excessive favor?"

"It's just a title. It doesn't matter if you allocate a piece of territory to your descendants as a foundation. The Kingdom of Fire is so big that you can arrange for a few children."

"You can arrange this kind of thing. If you need my cooperation, just ask."

"You, it's just that you look too lightly on these things. Also, with your ability, these external things are things that can be admired. Other relatives in the family, as well as future generations, may not have this ability."

"Teach me! I will pay attention to it, so as not to cause any trouble."

"You are a good boy! Although our two families do not lack people with good brains, we have real skills in our hands and can actually make things happen. It has not happened for many years. Think about our ancestors. For a hundred years, fighting and fighting, getting stronger and stronger, but it has wiped out other big and small forces." This is a typical example of the boss and the second fighting for hegemony, trapping the third, fourth, and fifth all in. .

This is the case in the world, and it is the same in the ninja world. Uchiha and Senju also play in this way.

"We can only say 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."

"Yeah, this world is neither kind nor correct, but we, Genpei Ershi, are always kind." The world needs order, even if it has various problems, it is better than no order.

Knock down the daimyo and the ancient cedar family, and replace a small group of people, will it be better?

"People in the world always think that we are rotten, moths of this world, vampires lying on the people, but at least we are full, we will take care of eating, and we will put on a sanctimonious face, maintaining the superficial fairness and justice. If Without us, those vicious people who have no regard for decency come to slaughter, and they know what it will be like."

"Ah!" The boss daimyo held Gu Shan Bu Shui's arm with his thin hands, and said with emotion,

"With you here, I feel at ease. Over the years, Ninja Village has grown stronger and its influence in the world has also increased. My son and grandson are both conservative and less aggressive. They want to change the governance model as soon as possible. For the next challenge, they... can't do it."

"Take good care of your body and watch with peace of mind, it's all right!"

"I don't know how long I can watch. You have done a good job. What I am most satisfied with is the sense of proportion. Let's hold the Kingdom of Fire in our hands. As long as we don't make mistakes, it means that we have no opponent. Other Daguo, the Five Ninja Villages including Konoha Village, are not enemies, they are just noisy neighbors."

"Hmm! You saw it right!" If there were no major events such as Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Otsutsuki Kaguya's resurrection, the development of the future world would indeed develop in the direction that the boss said.

"Where is Xianglin? I haven't seen her..."

"Go out and play with your classmates!"

"That's a good boy. He suffered a lot when he was a child. Now that he is doing well, I feel relieved." Seemingly hearing her sister's name, Xiao Hiiragi, who had a keen sense, raised her head and looked at her father and not quite Cooked

"Grandpa", seeing that they were chatting, continued to lower his head and bury his head in eating the delicious eel rice.

Seeing that the family was happily together, the eldest daimyo said with relief: "Many years ago, there was also such a scene. When he succeeded the daimyo, the first generation asked me to take good care of the family. As a result... Sigh!"

"The ending is not bad! Uncle Zhi Jibiao is quite satisfied now, and the family is very harmonious." After talking for a long time, the sun set in the west and the heat wave subsided a little, and the final finals began.

It was the first time that Xing Ren stepped on such an arena to perform. The actress named Wuyue was not frightened by this occasion, and looked eager to try.

Instead, it was the burly Konoha ninja on the opposite side, a little cramped and nervous.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, being able to show one's strength and win the championship in one fell swoop is a rare opportunity in a lifetime.

This year, there are no masters with overwhelming advantages. It is really not easy to get to this point.After the match started, Fusugi Bumizu, who had a superb vision, roughly judged that the Konoha Ninja on the opposite side had a solid foundation, and Wuyue's ninjutsu mastery was not bad. She has a good appearance, if she doesn't use the forbidden technique, her strength is already very impressive, and it's not all luck to reach the finals.

However, there is still a big gap between Konoha Ninja and Konoha Ninja in terms of ninjutsu convergence and tactical maturity.

If a certain field is picked out alone, May's level will not lose, but if it is concentrated on one person, there will be a gap in actual combat.

"The gap in the background of the ninja village! 』Gu Shan Bu Shui shook his head regretfully.This is caused by insufficient accumulation at a deep level. Not only the candidates off the field, but the Fengmo clan is indeed not as good as it used to be. It will take a long time to restore the old view.

Sure enough, May, who had been proactive before, gradually fell into a disadvantage after a few minutes of fruitless attack, and was suppressed in turn. After struggling for nearly 10 minutes, she regretted losing.

Finally, the referee announced the result, and there was warm applause from the auditorium. "Save the face of Konoha Village!

』If a star ninja wins the championship, the Kirin and Sand Ninja will lose face, and the host Konoha Village will lose face even more.

Hiru Sarutobi, who was full of smiles, came off the stage, presented awards to the winners, and granted Chunin qualifications, and at the same time comforted the defeated May.

Soon after, the audience began to leave the stage one after another.Fusugi Bumizu greeted everyone and left early to go to the Hyuga family's mansion.

The patriarch Hyuga, who had heard the news long ago, had arranged for his attendants to wait at the door.Walking through the antique courtyard and arriving at the reception room, Hinata Hinata has been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings from Jiushu, Senior Nizuzu." Gushan Bushui knelt and sat opposite, took the matcha handed over, took a few sips, the taste was not bad.

"Long time no see, Shaodu Bu Shui is still handsome, but I am a few years older." Hinata Hizuru is 40 years old this year, and she is considered to be a daughter in her later years.

Of course, this matter actually has something to do with the Gushan family.Very early on, Gusugi also had the idea of ​​marrying Hyuga. The Gusugi family needed the fighting power of the Hyuga family, and the Hyuga family needed the power of the Gusugi family to protect themselves.

Originally, there was still a high hope of success in this matter, but it was left behind due to some accidents.

Even Uncle Zhi Ji almost failed to find him, so the so-called marriage was naturally out of the question.Strictly speaking, the two did almost become relatives.

Things are different and people are different, the early grievances and entanglements are gone forever, otherwise, Gushan Bushui, Hyuga Ningji, and even Hyuga Hinata might not have been born.

"You are too modest. I don't know about this invitation. What advice do you have?"

"I can't talk about advice, Master Bu Shui, I want to know how you plan to treat our Hyuga family in the future."

"Treatment?" Gu Shan Bu Shui asked strangely,

"Gusugi and Hinata aren't directly related, are they? Is there any grievance worth mentioning?"

"The only thousand-year-old clan in Konoha Village is Hyuga..." Hyuga Hyuzu explained slowly while drinking tea,

"The grasp of current affairs may be a little clearer than ordinary people. Back then, our Hyuga ancestors were not the first batch of ninjas to join Konoha Village, and the Sarutobi, Shimura, Ikacho and other families were more than a step behind. 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.”

"Keeping the family inheritance is more important than developing and growing, or even becoming the king?" Hinata Hyuzu smiled and said, "Where are the majestic Senju and Uchiha now? The Uzumaki clan who married Senju, if it weren't for you If you make a move, it has long since disappeared. Besides, is the current whirlpool the same as it was back then?" The direct descendants of the country of the whirlpool disappeared in the misfortune of the country's ruin and family. Now the whirlpool established by the survivors of the whirlpool The blood relationship with the original main branch is too far away.

Gushan Bushui never had the idea of ​​marrying Uzumaki Naruto, even Hongye didn't call herself Uzumaki's family name, and her daughters didn't even have the idea of ​​inheriting Uzumaki's family name.

If it's gone, it's gone. One whirlpool in Muye Village is enough.

"You are very accurate! Then, what are your plans, related to our Gushan family?"

"As for Muye Village, I want to know, does Gushan want to directly control it?"

"No!" Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled,

"The order of one village and one country is still stable, and I have no intention of breaking it. It's just that the debate about "jade" has been going on for many years. I hope it will end in this generation! After all, Hokage is also a daimyo in name. Subsidiary..."

"Understood!" Hinata Hizuru let out a long sigh of relief.

"Then I'm relieved! There's nothing terrible about the ninja war. It's just a game where several big ninja villages fight each other every few years, and then Muye village wins. If Muye village and Huozhi If the country breaks up, it will be completely different."

"Why do you have such an idea?" Gu Shan Bu Shui asked in puzzlement,

"You know, I have never expressed any malice towards Konoha Ninja, rather, I am very friendly." Hinata Hyuzu's rigid face rarely squeezed out a smile: "The third generation, after all, does not have the background of our thousand-year-old family, and is I don't quite understand, the so-called hostility is not driven by malicious intent, but by the conflict of interests. Now, in the village, how many lifelines are in your hands, how many ninjas and Gu Shan flirt with each other, how many people Do you live directly or indirectly by the Gushan family? Even we, Hyuga, feel more and more clearly the importance of the Gushan family in the village." Others can't see through the Gushan family hidden behind layers of vests The tentacles, the well-informed Hyuga family, really felt the coercion of the behemoth getting closer and closer.

Gushan Bushui will not take the initiative to harm Konoha Village, but he will never allow Konoha ninjas to violate the authority of the daimyo and the Gusugi family.
