Ninja Ice House

No matter how the future develops, the improvement of personal strength cannot be ignored.

At this point, the development of the situation in the ninja world has been greatly different from the original timeline. Not to mention other things, the method of Uchiha Madara's resurrection, and even whether this person needs to be resurrected are still unknown. .

For Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, whether it is Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, or anyone else, becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki is almost the same, as long as they can use the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the God of the Tree World to absorb Ninja The world chakra can fill in the missing parts of the sacred tree and be qualified as a sacrifice.

To this extent, Nagato, Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Sasuke are all alternatives.

As for what it will become, it depends on the choices of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

For Gusugi Fusui himself, as long as he can support his family and friends through the Fourth Ninja World War, and at the same time strengthen his control over the Ninja World, especially weakening the independence of Konoha Village, that would be the best.

The former must be done, and as for the latter, do your best, and don't be noticed by the dead Six Paths Immortal who keeps tossing, or be plotted by the three major psychic beast holy places, Otsutsuki Toneri, or visitors from outside the world.

After thinking about it for half a night, he didn't get anything special. He just got a bunch of specious guesses from Kosugi Bu Shui. In the next few days, he stayed in Konoha Village, tested Kosugi's training, and took the time to talk to Kohigi. , Xiao Jing and Xiao Si were accompanied by three people.

In terms of practice, the three little guys are obviously better than their peers, especially the second daughter Xiao Hiiragi. Her advantage is so great that it is comparable to Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha of the same age. When the eldest sister Karin was in school , and there is Uchiha Sasuke competing with him on the same stage. Xiao Hiiragi really can't find a classmate who can be compared to him.

In terms of basic quality and learning ability, her peers are far behind her. Only two younger sisters, Xiao Jing and Xiao Si, can barely keep up with her.

Xiao Hiiragi, who has shown extremely powerful water attribute talent since he was a child, has made great progress in mastering Wind Release and Thunder Release in the past two years.

If her father, Gushan Bushui, hadn't deliberately taught her no advanced ninjutsu and had been strengthening her basic abilities, she might have been able to apply for early graduation.

"Going to school is not only about learning knowledge, exercising, and improving ninjutsu, but more importantly, mastering how to get along with others. For you, this experience may be more important."

The three sisters who have never experienced any setbacks since childhood, how to let them understand the real life conditions of all walks of life in the ninja world, and not become arrogant young ladies who "why not eat minced meat", is better than mastering one or two advanced ninjutsu and defeating several The master is much more important.

Xiao Jing and Xiao Si need to listen more carefully to their father's warnings. Xiao Hiiragi is full of promises, but it is still unknown whether he can fulfill them.

Looking at the little guy who was talking enthusiastically about interesting things in school and what he had seen in Konoha Village, Gusugi Bosui didn't really say any harsh words.

Before having actual experience and empathy, it is difficult for children to truly understand the true meaning and weight of some words.

In contrast, the words and deeds of parents and elder sisters are more important. Imitation of elders is the best way to cultivate their sentiments.

Later, Fusugi Fusui and Hinata Hizu, who had finished their social activities, made an informal meeting.

Unlike Uchiha Fugaku who had gone to the appointment before, this time Hinata Hizashi did not go to Myojinkan to soak in the hot springs. Instead, he rented a teahouse to enjoy flowers, feed fish and drink tea in the small courtyard with Fusugi Fusui.

The two people sat across from each other on a simple stone table and chairs.

"I'm older, so I'm not used to drinking and talking, and my thinking is far less sharp than that of the young governor. Being young... is really good."

"I am also in my thirties. To say that I am young is an exaggeration. Looking at the young people in their prime, I feel that I am a bit out of step with the times. People, start to remember the past and always tell stories about the past. It proves that we have begun to lose hope for the future.”

"So, a guy like me who is still running around is not too old, right?"

"Whether you are young or not does not entirely depend on the passage of time, but also has something to do with your mentality. We haven't reached the time to make fun of our age yet..."

Gu Shanbu Shui grabbed the bait and snacks at hand and threw them into the fish pond. A group of colorful ornamental fish competed for food, and the water splashed everywhere. It took half a minute to completely subside.

Staring at the fish swimming around in search of scattered food, Hinata Hinashi asked thoughtfully:

"Young Master likes raising and feeding fish and fishing?"

"I just like the feeling of controlling the development of things, but...not obsessed."

Gu Shanbu Shui took a sip of fragrant tea.

"In the final analysis, I am just a fish lured into action by the 'Destiny Weaver' at a higher level. It is difficult to say that I have escaped from the shackles."

"In my opinion, it's already extraordinary. Maybe you can only experience this feeling from the perspective of a young governor."

As the person in charge of the family's general affairs, the Hyuga clan leader is not necessarily more difficult to control than the Kosugi commander, but in recent years, the prestige of the Kosugi clan has obviously widened the gap with other forces.

If it weren't for the Hyuga family's status in Konoha Village and the shinobi world, the alliance between the two parties would actually not be equal.

Of course, unless Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were still there, Uchiha and Senju could still be on an equal footing with the current Furusugi. Nowadays, it is difficult to find a family in the ninja world who does not look up to Furusugi Bushui.

Even Konoha Village, which has always been strong, has to carefully handle its relationship with Gusugi Bushui, which shows that the power of strength and weakness has been completely reversed.

How did it become like this?

It seems that unknowingly, Gusugi Bushui and his family became stronger. In the past ten years, Konoha Village, which has experienced several major and minor changes, fell into decline without anyone noticing. It's reached this point now.

It's not that the Konoha ninjas, Hokage and others are afraid of Kosugi Bosui, but they don't have the dominance as before.

There was no direct conflict between the two sides. The most fundamental reason is that the competition between Gusugi and Konoha ninjas is unequal and misplaced. Gusugi Bushui has never sought to attack the dominance of Konoha Village at the ninja village level, but At a higher level, enhance the influence of the entire ninja world.

To use an inaccurate but relatively appropriate metaphor to explain it, it is as if humans do not directly seize the territory of jackals, tigers and leopards, but instead enclose lakes to create farmland, destroy forests and open up wasteland, suppressing the living space of all wild animals.

Without direct conflict, the bottom of the food chain collapsed, weakening the survival basis for the beasts occupying the upper levels.

Unless the Ninja Village goes out in person and competes with the daimyo and the Furusugi family for "great righteousness", turning into a real political entity and fully confronting them, the ninjas will not be able to compete with the daimyo and the Furusugi family on the same stage.

The order of one village and one country is the basis for the existence of the ninja village. If the Konoha ninjas take the initiative to break it, the mercenary group that exists as a union of ninjas will not be able to maintain it for a long time. Now there are no Uchiha Madara and Senju. Hashirama, the two super strong men, suppressed discordant objections.

Without a claim, it is the Achilles heel of the Ninja Village and the Ninja Clan. Regardless of whether it has the ability or not, it is the "sacred blood" that has been wanted and passed down for thousands of years, or even more distant times, and has become the legitimate owner of this land. "Descendant" is more than the level of people's support, Konoha ninja still has a long way to go.

It is almost engraved in the genetic code, and the righteousness passed down from generation to generation, even if it is in name only, if the ninja wants to occupy it, conquering the body alone is not enough, conquering the heart is the key.

Correspondingly, the daimyo and Furugi will not really control Konoha Village. At most, they will support "white gloves" or fight a dozen proxy wars.

Because of this, in the eyes of Konoha Village, the status quo is just a matter of whether "the east wind prevails over the west wind" or "the west wind prevails over the east wind". The two sides have never been enemies.

Maybe there will be another great war that will spread far and wide, restarting the Warring States Period, and the golden age of ninjas, isn't it coming again?

Besides, with the funding from the Fusagi family, although the ninjas have less autonomy, the risks are also reduced. The existence of "infrastructure ninjas" proves that even if they don't fight and kill, they can still live well.

"I don't know where the future of the Hinata family lies..."

After chatting for a while, Hinata Hiashi asked insinuatingly,

"The daughters of the Gushan family are more powerful than the others. The eldest daughter Xiang Ling is already very good, but the momentum of the second daughter is even more exaggerated. Has the young governor thought about how to arrange the future?"

"Teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and then let them do what they want to do. As a parent, it is best to give your children more choices."

Gusugi Bushui looked at Hinata Hizu's old-fashioned face and responded leisurely,

"As for Hinata, I have to say that senior and your children are relatively lucky to be in an era of rapid change."

Hinata Hizashi was born decades earlier and died inexplicably. Hinata Hinata and her two younger sisters did not have to make the same mistake.

"change?"

Hinata Hinashi frowned.

For the vested interest groups that actually occupy the upper echelons of the ninja world, Hyuga Hizashi is actually quite repulsive to this term. Although he himself arranges for his children out of compassion, and the division of the clan, the caged bird system is about to maintain the subsidy situation. Under the circumstances, I want to make improvements, but deep down I still don’t like to have to make major changes all over again.

"I'll just say it straight."

Gu Shanbu Shui put down his tea cup and said seriously,

"The Kingdom of Wind is too big. Once the infrastructure construction is completed and the livable conditions are greatly improved, its strength will be greatly improved, which will actually affect the pattern of the ninja world."

"Divide the Kingdom of Wind?"

Although I had some estimates in my mind, the actual words coming from Major Governor Gu Shan’s mouth were quite shocking.

"This is also possible?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"If it were not necessary, the buffer zones such as the Country of Grass, the Country of Rivers, the Country of Fields, and the Country of Birds would not exist at all. The balance of power on the continent is necessary to maintain the pattern and prevent a destructive war that would sweep everything away. A thunderstorm The Kingdom of Wind is already a headache, and I don’t want to see the birth of a powerful and unruly Kingdom of Wind.”

"Can't we suppress it and not build canals and open farms in it?"

"There are some things that can't be stopped. I won't do them. Suna Ninja will do it himself when he calms down. Sooner or later."

The experiences and lessons of the past life have made Fusugi Bosui realize that the torrent of the times will not be diverted by personal will, unless, like Kaguya Otsutsuki more than 1000 years ago, he completely controls the ninja world and destroys all risks that may cause the foundation to be shaken. , otherwise, accidents will come sooner or later.

The big bosses behind the scenes are overturned one after another, proving that the water in the ninja world is too deep. Having the Samsara Eye or even mastering the sacred tree may not guarantee a stable position on the Diaoyutai.

It is better to take advantage of the situation and appropriately channel risks, rather than forcibly suppressing them.

"It's better to block than to open up. I'm afraid the Hyuga clan leader also deeply agrees. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to change the family."

This makes some sense, but Hinata Hizatsu doesn't want to admit his weakness easily.

After a moment of silence, the old-fashioned senior asked tentatively:

"Dividing the Kingdom of Wind and the new country that is about to be established, the young governor wants us Hinata to get a share of the pie?"

"That's right. Since ancient times, the Gushan clan has not had the reputation of being a solitary eater. This world is big enough for us to coexist peacefully."

“What if someone doesn’t want to live together peacefully?”

Gushan Bu Shui smiled calmly.

"A world where everything goes smoothly does not exist. At least the ninja world is far from it. If you look at many things from a higher perspective, you will find that the real key has never been those trivial matters."

"trivia?"

Hinata Hinashi was a little dissatisfied, feeling that Gusugi Fusui's tone was too loud.The Hyuga family is indeed well versed in the ability to "stand in line", but they are not the kind of fools who will be fooled by a few big words. When Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara joined forces, they did not make the Hyuga family surrender immediately. The weight of the Gu Shan Bu Shui in front of him seems to be a bit lacking.

"I'm not asking Hinata to abandon the Leaf Village and surrender to me, but...since you have made up your mind to break down the barriers between the branch families and the clan, and no longer use caged birds to restrain the clan members, then don't let go of all the fruits. In a basket, if... like the Uchiha family, it is taken away in one pot, I'm afraid it won't be beautiful."

Hinata Hinashi's face looked better after hearing this. Ninjas are not welcome in the secular world. Even if they are supported by Fusugi Fusui, it is probably not easy to get along. They give up their transcendent status in Konoha Village and become the lackeys of the Fusugi family. , the risk is too great.

Gushan Bushui and his children seem to be talented people, but what about the next generation?

Who can guarantee that they have the ability to maintain a strong position?

If you just open a branch, the risk is much smaller.

"That's fine. In principle, I agree. But..."

After hesitating for a while, Hinata considered it carefully and said,

"Can you give us Hinata some reassurance to make our bets safe?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled slightly and made a simple seal with one hand. The water in the pond in front of the two of them swayed slightly. A figure appeared along with the Chakra fluctuations in the obscure space. The burly figure opened his eyes, revealing a circle. Ring-shaped heterocoria.

"This is……"

The surprised Hinata and Hinata swallowed the words "Reincarnation Eye" and sighed with satisfaction.
