Ninja Ice House

Off the field, Konoha Ninjas are recovering the field and preparing for the final.

In the lounge, Bai was resting with his eyes closed, and the opponent on the other side was also a Konoha ninja.

Already 15 years old, he is about to leave the stage of being called a "child", but he has to compete with Bai, who is more than two years younger, for the championship. It is a bit embarrassing to do the truth.

Even though he knows that he has little hope of winning, he still has to fight hard for his Chunin qualifications.

This is already the third time I have participated in the Chunin exam. In the past two years, I didn't have a strong opponent, but I was not strong enough to get good results. After finally waiting until this year, my body has grown and my strength has improved a lot. I met Bai who made me unable to resist the thought of rebellion.

"Are you nervous?"

Shiro, who had been waiting all this time, opened his eyes and talked to his opponent through the air.

"I've been waiting for several years, thinking that it will become a blockbuster. How can I not be nervous? What's more..."

Seriously wearing the forehead protector on the top of the head, the young man in the slim-fitting training clothes is actually a good-looking talent, much more pleasing to the eye than all the compatriots who are dressed in strange shapes.

It's a pity that compared with the handsome Bai Yi, he is obviously far behind.

"Perform well. As long as your strength passes the test, even if you lose in the end, you still have a good chance of being awarded the Chunin qualification. You look like this, timid, and if you can't show your strength, you will lose points..."

"thanks for reminding."

As an opponent, he must be somewhat dissatisfied with Bai's strong composure. However, the difference in strength lies here, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that none of this year's candidates can become an obstacle for Bai.

"It's about to start, get ready!"

In the stands, as the chief examiner gave the final precautions to the two candidates who were leaving the field, he announced the start of the finals.

After watching it for less than a minute, Gui Zhiji said in amazement:

"That kid is really powerful. He suppressed his opponent without using all his strength."

"Cousin, do you know a little bit about it?"

"After staying in Muye Village for so long, I should have some awareness. After watching the Zhongnin exam for a few years, I have a general understanding of who is strong and who is weak."

Gui Zhiji replied very frankly,

"How did you pick out this gifted child from the refugee ship from the Land of Water?"

"Geniuses don't need to be deliberately cultivated. As long as they have a certain foundation for growth, they will quickly emerge and be picked out by the selection mechanism..."

The Country of Water and Hidden Fog Village do not have such a foundation.

In a society that is functioning normally, it is difficult to guarantee absolute fairness. However, the possibility of upward and downward mobility cannot be completely stifled. There must be promotion channels for real talents, otherwise...

The running water does not rot, and the pivot of the house does not stink.

A pool of stagnant water, although stable, is also a good time for restless careerists to be active.

"Let's not talk about that, uncle, the assets here are almost disposed of, right?"

"There are not many fixed assets left, and there are still some final payments and procedures to be dealt with. The previous contracts need to be fulfilled, and reputation cannot be taken seriously just because the strategy has been fine-tuned."

"Well! Don't worry about this. In September, after autumn, it will gradually shrink. The main body of the family business will be transferred to Shinjuku Town, Konoha Village. What should be kept should be kept. We are just shrinking our influence, not really. Cutting with Konoha Ninja. You still have to earn the money you should earn."

How could so many Konoha ninjas have carried mortgages for 30 to [-] years and just walked away?

"You, building a bustling town so close to Muye Village, isn't that obviously sharing their influence? Many merchants don't come to Muye Village, but go to Shinjuku Town to set up a store. He Chang, how many business opportunities in Muye Village have been taken away."

"It can't be my fault. Those businessmen, big and small, are not my subordinates. I can't give them orders, can they?"

"Okay, okay, I'm not Ren Hokage, I don't have any opinion on how you do it, it's just... I feel a little bit hard to bully these ninjas who don't even understand the basic economic laws and are full of fighting and killing. .”

"Could not bear?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui shrugged,

"I don't mean to do anything to them, as long as these Konoha ninjas take the initiative or passively bear the debt, and are willing to repay the debt. Carrots and whips, whip them to work quickly. In the days before, apart from tasks and Fighting the ninja world war, don't worry about anything, it's too comfortable."

As a group with the strongest production capacity in the ninja world, if you don't work hard, how can you contribute to the development of this world?

Gu Shan Bu Shui is also planning to start a series of infrastructure projects next year, such as widening canals, building railway networks, opening up mountains, building bridges when encountering water, and launching a primary mechanized large farm plan, monopolizing basic grain rations, and building a A batch of high-quality ocean fishing grounds, etc., from all aspects of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, grasp the life, old age, sickness and death of human beings in the whole ninja world.

No, that should be called providing high-quality goods and services.

These, now that the level of heavy industry development is not enough, can only be helped by ninjas.

Thinking of the future scene, Gu Shan Bu Shui couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

Ten minutes later, Shiro, who didn't use all his abilities, steadily defeated his opponent and won this year's Chunin Exam. Immediately, Sarutobi Hiruzen announced that Shiro had been promoted to Chunin in full view.

As for other people, whether they can be promoted or not, they need to make a comprehensive evaluation afterwards before giving a conclusion.

But today, the one who stands out the most is undoubtedly Bai Bai.

In the stands, Bai's parents and their youngest son were among the cheering crowd, overjoyed.

The poor and humble family that was precarious back then can be regarded as a well-to-do family with some wealth now.

"In fact, as long as we, who are in charge of wealth distribution, give these bottom-level people a little tilt, their lives will be improved very well, but..."

While applauding, Gu Shan Bu Shui said to the thoughtful Uncle Zhi Ji,

"We have no motivation to take the initiative to slow down the sickle cutting leeks. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening, and some people always say that the greed of those with vested interests is insufficient. But is this really the case?"

"I can see it, Bu Shui."

Gui Zhiji said calmly,

"No matter how fair the system is, no matter how conscientious the wealthy family is, the speed of wealth growth is still not comparable to that of ordinary people. In the past two years, apart from calculating Muye Village and other big Ninja Villages, you have not dealt with the Land of Fire. The people in the country are exploiting too much, but, just let nature take its course, no matter how hard those people struggle, the wealth is flowing to us..."

"The strong and the weak are not equal!"

Gu Shan Bu Shui sighed,

"It's like the 'King of Fighters' challenge. Why should the all-age group and the youth group be separated? Even if a child is fully armed, no matter how talented, it is difficult to beat an average-level fighter in the rematch."

Inequality, almost always.

There are very few geniuses like Bai who are so gifted and can transcend class constraints.

The vast majority of them are just like the ordinary children of Inaba Academy, who have struggled for half their lives to provide a higher starting platform for the next generation. After two or three generations of accumulation, there may be the possibility of crossing classes.

"What are you going to do? Bu Shui, I believe, you haven't always wanted to be the guy who keeps alive the corrupt old nobles, have you?"

"do not know!"

Gu Shan Bu Shui answered frankly,

"I can't force the guys who are in the same camp as me, cut my own flesh, and make up for those in need..."

"I wanted to do this before, and then, there was no such person."

"If you use extraordinary power to forcibly change the rules of society's operation, it is possible, but if you use violence to achieve your goals, you will definitely be smashed to pieces by stronger violence. The so-called fairness in this world is only based on individual powerful 'gods'. 'Conscience, even if this 'God' is me, it is still unreliable. Maybe one day I have a whim and change my mind, then this world will have no future."

"You don't even have confidence in yourself?"

"I can't trust all human and biological instincts, even myself. How to restrain my desire to toss is actually quite troublesome, so..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui continued to explain,

"Since the trend of accumulating wealth in my hands cannot be changed, then, let's use this wealth to do something practical! Strengthen the infrastructure of the ninja world and raise the 'lower limit' of ordinary people. At least, there will be no shortage of food and clothing. , not plagued by sudden death crises.”

The more I know, the more I feel helpless about the fundamental problems of human society.

Being able to provide a minimum guarantee for the daily life of the general public is also one of the signs of the progress of the times.

"Are you... so pessimistic?"

Gui Zhiji asked strangely,

"I thought you could develop your family to the point where you are now, and you have mastered terrifying extraordinary power. There should be more ways."

"Thinking too much, Uncle Zhiji! The so-called civilization of human beings is actually only one step away from returning to primitiveness. The history, culture, art and glory we are proud of are all things that are not worth mentioning. Destruction, just in the blink of an eye..."

Whether in the ninja world or in the previous life, Fusugi Bosui has fully realized how fragile and vulnerable the so-called intelligent species confined to the interior of the planet are.

Even if it is not destroyed by natural disasters, it is always facing the crisis of self-destruction.

After the end of the Chunin exam, Uncle Jiki continued to be busy with his work, Gusugi Bumizu went to meet Shiro, Yayoi and others, gave a few words of encouragement, and then took his daughters to the Myojinkan to soak in the hot springs. Wash off the fatigue of the day.

While soaking in the hot spring, while closing his eyes to rest his mind, Gu Shan Bu Shui said to Otsutsuki Kaguya who also had thoughts:

"Even if it's your Datongmu clan, if you zoom in to the entire universe of stars, in fact, that's all there is to it. It's too difficult to cross the level of life itself."

"I thought that you, a time traveler, didn't have much affection for the native humans in the ninja world. You just cared about your family and friends. It turns out that you really thought about their future!"

"You think so?"

"If you don't think about it, you can't say something like raising the lower limit of life for humans in the ninja world. All the troubles, only this, at least let the dividends of the progress of the times benefit the general public."

"Looking at things from the standpoint of a 'God' is a bit different after all."

In the previous life, Gu Shan Bu Shui had seen too many so-called doctrines and so many theories. Let’s not evaluate their pros and cons. There is one thing that is almost common, that is, to pay attention to human nature, to devote to improving the status of vulnerable groups, Smooth out individual differences and respect the value of everyone's life.

Put it in the ninja world to measure, what can be done is actually clear at a glance.

In the ninja world, where the right to life cannot be guaranteed, the primary task is to prevent the weak from losing their lives due to sudden killings, and not to be hungry or clothed because of poverty, and that is enough.

More, let's talk about it after the first step is realized.

"Actually, the Otsutsuki family does the same thing every time they colonize a new life planet, to maintain the ecological circle to the maximum extent, and to feed more valuable intelligent life. To some extent, we hope that the indigenous people will prosper Prosperity, because in this way, it is more beneficial for us to cultivate the sacred tree and harvest the fruit of the sacred tree."

"Right! At the end of evolution, they are all similar things with minor differences."

Gushan Bushui lifted the towel covering his forehead,

"It is difficult for me to change the alienated class conflicts, but it is still possible to do what I can."

Raising the grassroots level will make them more resistant to risks. Even if the fate of leeks is unavoidable, Gu Shan Bu Shui hopes that they will be more resistant to cuts.

Otsutsuki Kaguya said happily:

"You already have the mentality of an 'extraterrestrial visitor', which is good, and will help you get through the period of mental confusion from ephemeral to long-lived species as soon as possible."

"Well! God loves the world, they are all my lambs, how can you give up so easily?"

With a self-deprecating smile, Gu Shan Bu Shui seemed to have thought of something, and asked involuntarily,

"It's been a while since you took advantage of the Si and Shen position, how did you get it?"

"In the new year, when you harvest the first fruit of the sacred tree, I will start planting the seeds of the sacred tree. For the time being, there is no rush to hatch and grow..."

"I still have hope for Heijue! It's up to you..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui shrugged,

"Let me tell you first, I will not take the initiative to unblock you, and I will not help you after you come out. How to survive the backlash of fate is your business. I just need to keep your last hope of making a comeback. "

"As it should be!"

-----------------

Several hundred meters away, at the House of Hokage, several Jōnin and senior teachers are grading the Jōnin in the Chunin exam.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not directly participate in it, but hid in another small conference room with Shimura Dan, discussing other matters.

"Oshemaru's side has been making a lot of moves recently. Because of the tight protection, I can't detect whether a newcomer named Sora has appeared for the time being. However, there are indeed some abnormalities in his experimental consumables. Some of them are for Part of the need for the sealing array is to eliminate the erosion damage of the violent chakra."

"Then... that's probably the case!"

Some ninja consumables are usually not needed.

"At least, that guy is now starting to study Tailed Beast Chakra and Jinjuriki."
