Ninja Ice House

Sunagakure Village needs a Kazekage, especially a leader who can ease the tension with Konoha Village and stabilize the situation to be the fifth generation head.

Several times in the village, almost every family had a grudge against the Konoha ninjas. Either their parents or elders died in the Ninja World War, or they were someone who had several lives in their hands.

Ironically, the Kazekage fourth generation Rasa, who launched the "Konoha Collapse Plan", is already the leader of the faction with the most moderate foreign policy.

It is precisely because Luo Sha is so "alternative" that he is regarded as the most "weak" and "cunning" leader and is unpopular.

Where can I find a "village chief" who can better lead Sunagakure Village and live in harmony with Konoha Village?

No one knows, but a year has passed without Kazue Ying.

The call for Gaara to be promoted to the fifth Kazekage position has been born for some time.

If it was an ordinary person making a noise, it would be treated as a joke.

The key is that the person driving this matter is the nominal "heavy criminal" Red Sand Scorpion, and Elder Qiandai is also silent, which makes people daydream.

Gaara, who has never responded directly, is running around on various missions, and has recently been busy with the reorganization of the ninja school. He took Temari and Kankuro to receive the Konoha ninjas. They seemed to be getting along quite harmoniously, which made people who had doubts A little relieved.

After sending away each apprentice, Gaara dragged his slightly tired body back to the lounge.

Getting along with children is more tiring than fighting a tough battle.

The "battle" on the road of life is not just on the battlefield. The ninja school is also a place where "the light of the sword" flashes and people are killed without blood.

"It's over? Thank you for your hard work."

"Ah."

She took the cold water Temari handed her and took two sips to moisten her throat.

"Aren't you going to settle the guests?"

"Kankuro just goes. After being here for so many days, we are almost familiar with each other. There is no need for me to arrange everything in detail."

"Alright."

Gaara thought about it and felt that it wasn't a big problem.

Kankuro is not sociable, his face is ugly, and his words are irritating. He is not a very good negotiator. However, his brain is still easy to use. Just because he has a bad temper and is too impulsive does not mean that he is stupid.

This little thing should be done well.

"What do you think of the Konoha ninja's suggestion?"

Temari asked pretending not to be surprised, Gaara shook his head slightly and replied,

"I can't say good either."

Regarding the selection and education of grassroots ninjas, the basic conditions of the two ninja villages are completely different. Sunagakure Village cannot completely copy the experience of Konoha Village.

A fundamental contradiction is that cultivating Ninja School students who are completely out of work is a major event that has great merits but shortcomings in the present. In the long run, it will definitely not be a loss, but the finances of Sunagakure Village cannot afford it at all.

Not to mention the all-encompassing full-coverage model of Konoha Village, which is just elite selection and focused training, Suna Ninja cannot find many ninja teachers who are strong, experienced and willing to devote themselves to education.

Running around all day for tasks and supporting yourself and your family is already very busy. A school that cannot produce direct economic benefits cannot increase investment with the strength of Suna Ninja.

"The Konoha Village Ninja School started to divide into small classes after six years of basic education, with focused tutoring by leading teachers. We don't have the money to provide six years of basic education. Most families can't afford it, and the village... can't do it either. arrive."

If the foundation is too poor, no matter how beautiful the superstructure is, it is just a castle in the air and cannot be put on the ground.

Elite education must be adhered to, and basic education must be appropriately popularized.

Temari concluded with some regret:

"The traditional master-disciple transmission must be adhered to, but a minimum basic education platform must also be maintained."

After actually investigating the situation in Sunagakure Village, the Konoha ninjas suggested that teachers should lead outstanding students to answer their questions and usually send them to schools to implement a composite model of basic education.

The number of people in Sunagakure Village is much smaller than that of Konoha Village, and the entrance standards are higher. The number of students and teachers in the Ninja School is far smaller than that of Konoha Village. Every "seed" is precious, and it would be a pity to let them all go free. It's a bit unrealistic to ask elite ninjas to "pass on and lead", so we have to settle for the next best thing.

As for the details and implementation regulations, they still need to be worked out, but the general framework has been set.

"What did the representative from Gu Shan in the south say?"

Gaara, who heard this, looked a little gloomy and replied unhappily:

"On the pretext that secular power cannot directly intervene in the ninja world, we refused in-depth cooperation."

"In my opinion, it's not a refusal to cooperate, it's a refusal to cooperate in a model dominated by us."

Temari analyzed it with insight,

"They have a very close relationship with the Leaf Village. The eldest daughter is a genius ninja, and the three younger daughters are studying in the ninja school. They have no intention of not getting involved. The real reason may be that they are not interested in the conditions we proposed. "

Gaara summed it up clearly:

"We...have no leverage."

If you self-righteously come up with good things, there is nothing you can do if others look down upon you.

Judging from the attitude of the representative of the Kosugi family, Sunagakure Village feels a bit of danger, but it doesn't know which direction it will develop.

The current Sunagakure Village actually doesn't have much ability to resist the arrangements of the Fusagi family. All it can do is find something that the other party likes and sell it.

Unlike the Leaf Village, which still maintains dignity, Suna Ninja can sell himself for a good price if he wants, so his situation is much worse.

Temari complained angrily:

"Last time I attended a negotiation meeting with some elders, the other party's attitude was a bit negative. We couldn't even choose a Kazekage. It was really shameful. The other party said it very straightforwardly. Even if we have reached a major agreement, The fifth generation of the Future Kazekage has been elected, what should I do if I don’t admit my fault?”

To put it bluntly, the Gushan family's status is too high and they are not willing to negotiate with the elders who represent Feng Ying's authority.

Only the "Five Shadows" can represent the equal cooperation between the Ninja Village and the Furusugi family. The most important thing for Sunagakure Village now is not reform, making money or diplomatic changes, but selecting a qualified Kazekage Fifth Generation and proving himself. He also has the qualification to be one of the five great ninja villages.

Status needs to be supported by strength. Sunagakure Village's status as a Great Ninja Village, which should be taken for granted, is somewhat unstable.

"Those people are playing political tricks and scheming in the village. Who cares about them outside? They are all idiots who can only hide in their nests..."

"It's been a while."

Gaara stopped Temari and said pertinently,

"There are still capable people among them, but...the current power structure cannot achieve anything."

In the quagmire-like Sand Hidden Village, all hopes and ambitions are invisible and untouchable. It requires a capable Kazekage to come forward and grasp the overall situation before he can throw away the burden and embark on the road forward again.

How to break the game?

On the one hand, personal relationships promote goodwill among the forces to which they belong. There is also a simple and crude but effective method, which is marriage.

If Gaara becomes the fifth generation of the Kazekage, the three siblings and the three ninjas will marry and form alliances with powerful forces. Even if there is only one marriage, the authority of the fifth generation of the Kazekage will be greatly strengthened.

Just because ninjas gain status through the use of force does not mean that blood ties and marriages are unimportant.

The three siblings, who have experienced too much since childhood, are obviously much more mature than most Konoha ninjas of the same age, and have a deeper understanding of the rules of how the world works.

"It is said that Gusugi and Hinata are getting married, but we... don't seem to have the conditions."

Temari looked at Gaara in front of her, and then thought of her careless puppet master brother, and couldn't help but sigh.

There are currently no suitable candidates among young people of the right age.

This generation of Kosugi family heirs has not yet had a boy born. Even if Temari wants to sacrifice herself to gain benefits for her fellow villagers and her two younger brothers, she can't find a partner.

As for other crooked melons and cracked dates, let’s not mention them.

It seems good to deepen the cooperation with Konoha Village without being able to embrace the Furusugi family.

It seems that the way to do this is for brothers and sisters in distress to stay together and go to the funder to reward a few people.

Temari, who was slightly inclined in her heart, was about to say a few more words when the members of the Shadow Guard outside came over to send a message. The Red Sand Scorpion, who was currently serving as a "prisoner" and a guest consultant, wanted to talk to Gaara.

"at this time?"

There was a force in the village that supported his becoming the Kazekage, and Gaara knew that its leader was the Red Sand Scorpion, so it was no secret.

The problem is that the two don't seem to have anything to do with each other. Not only are they not familiar with each other, they don't meet often, and they don't even exchange a few words with each other.

Why would such a person want to interfere in the succession of the Kazekage position that had nothing to do with him?

"I gonna go see."

Walking out casually, following the leader to a place that seemed to be a puppet workshop, Gaara met the Red Sand Scorpion who had been waiting for a long time.

"What do you think?"

"I want to be a Kazekage, but... I won't agree to the excessive conditions."

The red sand scorpion showed a graceful and bright smile:

"It's all for the village, how can it be too much? There's nothing better than cooperation where everyone gets what they need."

"Tell me, what request?"

As long as you are willing to talk rather than refuse outright, it means there is a basis for cooperation, and the rest is a matter of bargaining.

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

After the "King of Fighting" finals held on Yuqi Island, more than half a month later, Mrs. Mikoto gave birth to a son. This child who was born under Gushan Bushui's extreme attention did not seem to have any problems. Something special.

However, relying on the excellent perception and intuition of the Otsutsuki clan, Gu Shanbu Shui still detected some inconsistencies in him, and even felt a slight threat that was not revealed.

"This... seems to be a guy who is even more talented than his brothers and sisters."

After learning about it, Gu Shan Bu Shui couldn't help but sigh.

With the talent of the young family governor, in front of most ninjas, he can be regarded as a gifted person, but compared with a true genius, it is still inferior.

The child in front of him didn't even have a name, just nicknamed "Xilang". He seemed to be born with a trace of fate. No strong energy fluctuations were detected in his body, but the natural energy from the outside world was following him. The cries were flowing regularly.

"A born immortal? It seems that he has not reached this stage, but...if he really embarks on the path of cultivation, the immortal mode seems to be prepared for him, even..."

Its strong basic mental power and strong soul are as conspicuous as the bright moon in the night sky in Gu Shan Bu Shui's super vision.

Compared with children of the same age, he is much stronger.The innate foundation is even better than Xiaohiira's.

Otsutsuki Kaguya asked curiously:

"Are you going to let him live out his life as a wealthy young man, or are you going to train him carefully and become a genius?"

"Of course it's the latter? I won't do anything against nature. The birth of this child is destined to have a counterpart that needs to be suppressed. If he pulls his crotch, someone else has to step in..."

"Then...do you think that unlucky guy could be you?"

"How could it be? This is my cousin. It's not too late to love and support each other..."

"You just talk nonsense, there is no truth."

Gu Shan Bu Shui responded easily:

"When he grows up, it will be at least more than ten years later. If I still have to be careful about such challenges at that time, it will be too embarrassing for time travellers. In the era of his birth, he happened to be stuck in an awkward position and could not catch up. The Fourth Ninja World War, and the next turbulent generation, will probably be over 20 years ago."

He grows up step by step in a peaceful environment. Without destiny events to promote his rapid growth, it is estimated that it will be difficult to fully develop his potential in the future.

There is no way to catch up with anything.

Leave it to others to worry about.

In addition, as a descendant of the Gushan family, he may become an important help in the future.

"It's up to you, don't be careless. I never thought that I would be sealed by Hagoromo and Hamura..."

"I am already a member of the Otsutsuki tribe who successfully planted a sacred tree."

Gu Shan Bu Shui shrugged casually and said nonchalantly,

"Time is on my side. Moreover, it is far from the point of worrying about my newborn cousin. In comparison, your matter is imminent and even more difficult."

"What, have an idea?"

"Sneak attack on the Akatsuki organization, kill Nagato, hunt down Obito Uchiha, and take the matter of resurrecting the Ten-Tails into his own hands. Staying outside the mainstream battlefield is safer, but... the loot obtained is also small. ah."

"Are you interested in the nine tailed beasts that I pulled away after being sealed again?"

"It's normal to be greedy, but..."

After thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head and rejected such an approach.

"The stance of the Immortal of Six Paths is unpredictable to me, and the lurking agents of 'outsiders' also make me a little wary."

With Gu Shan Bu Shui's current power, he is more than capable of protecting himself and is proactive, but a little unsafe.

There are more than one or two strong men lurking. The Gushan family's goal is too big to be exposed too completely.

"Ignore these things for now, let Cousin Zhiji and Mrs. Mikoto raise this child well. Cousin Bu Shui also needs to prepare gifts..."

In addition, Uchiha Itachi's interference should indeed increase its intensity, otherwise, the future route will be difficult to control.
