Chapter 3: Blood Succession
On April 6, the 40th year of Konoha, Kusa Chiruha ushered in his fourth birthday.
Early that morning, when Ryuyu came to the training ground to start a new day of training, he unexpectedly found that his father was also there. Normally, at this time, he was dealing with family affairs, and he usually only asked about his cultivation at night. Why do you have time to watch your training this morning?
However, the accident was an accident, and Liuyu still bowed respectfully and said respectfully, "Father, you are here." ”
What is surprising is that Cao Qianyu just kept looking at her and didn't say a word. And the grass Qianako next to her also stood aside and watched.
silent
.......
After a long time, Cao Qianyu spoke: "Follow me." After speaking, he ignored Ryuyu's reaction and left the family training ground directly. Ryu didn't know why, but after seeing the signal of the persimmon, he hurriedly followed.
Soon, Ryuyu found out that this direction was not going to the ancestral hall of the family? What are you doing here today? However, Ryuyu also didn't ask.
When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Cao Qianyu went straight through the hall and came to the small hall behind the ancestral hall. When Ryuha entered the small hall, he found that the persimmon did not follow the house, but stood outside. Cao Qianyu stood in front of a black stone wall, which could be seen to be made of a single piece of black stone, and in the center of the black stone wall was a round hole about five or six centimeters in diameter. Cao Qianyu looked at the stone wall and was stunned for a while, and Ruyu didn't need to disturb Cao Qianyu, although Ruyu felt that his father was very strange today.
After being stunned for a while, Cao Qianyu began to seal, and after seeing Cao Qianyu's seal, Cao Qianyu silently pulled out a knife and began to guard the surroundings. After the printing was completed, I saw a slight tremor on the ground, and after a while, a tuft of long grass came out, the long grass was full of life and writhing, and the leaf at the top was dangling in front of Cao Qianyu, as if asking for something? Cao Qianyu was not surprised, took out Kunai and cut his thumb, and dripped a few drops of blood on the grass blade, which was immediately absorbed after receiving the blood. The blades of grass that had sucked the blood protruded their tips into holes in the stone walls.
Then, the hole in the center of the black stone wall slowly expanded, and gradually emitted a burst of white light.
Ryuha closed her eyes uncontrollably, and when she opened them again, she found that she and her father had arrived in a confined space. The entire space is cylindrical and about forty or fifty meters in diameter, which is about the same size as the square in front of the family shrine. Her father, on the other hand, was staring at the wall in one of the directions in a daze.
I don't know why, Ryuyu has an inexplicable sense of familiarity here. Have you ever been here?
Shook his head and suppressed the unrealistic idea.
"Father?" Ryu Yu asked softly, today's grass Qianyu is always weird.
After saying that, Ryuyu also stepped forward and looked at the wall that his father was looking at.
There are some names engraved on it,
Grass Thousand Front Sacrifice, Grass Thousand End Bunch, Grass Thousand Streams, Grass Thousand Seeing Clouds........ Of course, the name of his father Cao Qianyu is also on it, except for his father, most of the rest of the people have never seen it, and it is obviously the predecessor of the family. Wait, that name next to my father is ——— Chihana Kusa.
"Noticed? That's your mother's name," Cao Qianyu said lightly, but the keen Ryuyu still noticed the sadness that flashed on his father's face.
"Father, what the hell is going on?" Ryu asked with a puzzled expression? Her mother seems to be a taboo subject in the family, and she has only seen her mother in some old photographs. In the photo, a gentle, green-haired woman stands behind his father and smiles faintly.
"Haven't you always been curious about the family's bloodline? I'm here to answer your questions today." After Cao Qianyu finished speaking, he changed direction and walked to the other side and began his narration:
"During the Warring States Period, countries fought each other, and the major ninja clans were full of wars with each other. Until a legendary man appeared - between the Thousand Hands Pillars. Along with Madara Uchiha, he is revered as a "legendary ninja". Anyone who has seen Tsuruma calls Tsuruma a "mythical man like the Six Paths of Immortals" and is known as the "God of Ninjas" by the ninja world. Known as the god of ninjas, he put an end to the chaos of the Sengoku period and stopped the ninja clans from fighting each other. With the rival Uchiha clan, the two most powerful ninja families in the world united to establish the Konoha Hidden Village. ”
"This way of combining the ninja people into a ninja village, one country and one village, soon spread. Both large and small countries have established their own ninja villages. The Fog Hidden in the Land of Water, the Konoha in the Land of Fire, the Sand Hidden in the Land of Wind, the Cloud Hidden in the Land of Thunder, and the Iwakuin in the Land of Earth are called the Five Ninja Villages, and the leaders of the Five Ninja Villages are called "Shadows". The village of Grass in the country of grass was also established during that period. ”
Ryuha knew that this was the origin of the major ninja villages in the current ninja world, and she already knew it in her previous life, but she didn't interrupt her father's narration.
"The Kusa Chiichi clan, who was in the land of fire at the time, was actively choosing the family affiliation in the face of the general trend of the ninja clan merging into a ninja village."
"Wait? Our grass thousand clan was originally in the land of fire? Hearing this, Ryuyu couldn't help but interrupt his father's narration.
Cao Qianyu nodded, and then said:
"The Kusa Chi clan still has their own family site in the Fire Country, and they still maintain good diplomatic relations with some Konoha families, but at that time, they did not choose to join the Konoha Hidden Village created by Senju and Uchiha, but chose to move to the Grass Country near the Fire Country to join the Grass Hidden Village."
In Liuyu's view, this is a typical "rather for the head of the chicken than for the tail of the phoenix" thinking. After all, Konoha already has the two strongest ninja families, Uchiha and Senju, and the Sarufei clan and the Hyuga clan, these ninja clans, have also expressed their expectations to join Konoha. It may not be a good choice for the Kusa Chiyi clan to join Konoha . Ryuha didn't know how the original patriarch made this choice? But if it were her, she would definitely choose to join Konoha. After all, with the memories of her previous life, she is full of affection for Konoha.
Cao Qianyu is still talking about the history of the family:
"The family crest of the grass thousand clan is two intersecting bamboo leaves, as a long inheritance of the ninja world, the grass thousand clan also has its own blood inheritance limit ——— seclusion. Retreat is not a new retreat technique formed by the fusion of two different attribute chakras, but a kind of blood inheritance about the physical aspect. The constitution of the Caoqian tribe has a special affinity for natural vegetation, and they can perceive the things around them through vegetation. At the same time, you can blend into various vegetation including forest trees and hide your chakra. Combined with the secret assassination technique of the Shang family, our grass thousand clan is well-known in the field of intelligence reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance and assassination. Speaking of this, Cao Qianyu naturally exuded a sense of pride, and he was also proud of his family.
Hearing this, Ryu finally knew what was going on with his strange perception.
Then, Cao Qianyu said with a solemn expression:
But also because of the family's blood succession, which led to a long-term confrontation with the Hyuga family, the blood succession of the two clans restrained each other. If the opponent of the Uchiha clan in the Warring States period was the Senju clan, then the opponent of the Kusa Senchi clan was the Hyuga clan. Someone hired a ninja from the Kusa Senya family to carry out a mission, and the hostile convenience would definitely hire a ninja from the Hyuga family, and vice versa. The reason why the original patriarch didn't choose Konoha but chose Kusakure, probably didn't want to see the rival Hinata's family! Senju and Uchiha have strongmen like Tsuruma and Madara who can suppress hatred, but at the same time, Kusarichi and Hinata can't let go of the hatred that has been passed down from generation to generation. ”
"Huh?" Ryu Yu was surprised. Hinata in her previous life was the perfect goddess in the minds of many people, but she didn't expect that she would become their feud just after she came through.
"Hehe, don't worry. The Kusa Chichi clan, who chose to leave the Fire Country because of hatred, is now hating the Hyuga clan in the diplomatic framework between countries and slowly fading. The original hatred between the two sides was caused by the employment of different people, and now there is no big conflict of interests between the two clans, so the hatred will always be worn away by time. Cao Qianyu explained.
After hearing this, Ryu Yu obviously sighed.
"Alright, it's time to get down to business, do you know why I'm bringing you here today?" Cao Qianyu asked solemnly.
