Chapter 69: A Crisis of Confidence
In fact, even if the two children say that they don't know, don't understand, don't understand, don't understand, Orange Light won't find it strange. They are so young, although precociousness seems to have become a common problem for the youngest generation of every big family in this era, but the words between him and Hosoya and Takashi are a little advanced for both the Holy Kingdom and Qingchuan.
When the Holy Kingdom said to give it to him, he became interested, looked at the Holy Kingdom with great interest and asked, "Why give it to him?" ”
Looking at the smiling expression of the orange light, the Holy Kingdom lowered his head slightly, and replied in a non-compliant manner: "Not only to give, but also to give more!" ”
Orange Light was stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little serious, "Tell me, why?" ”
"Because you, my father, and the Ren Wuyue family, can't afford to lose!"
It's a very simple answer, so simple that almost everyone can think of it. In many cases, the more simple and straightforward the answer, the more people seem to be unable to see it, and it seems that it is necessary to make things extraordinarily complicated in order to show where human wisdom is used.
Hosoya and Takashi represent not himself, but the will of the Konoha higher-ups. As long as there is no super ninja in the family who can influence the wishes of Konoha higher-ups, then the Ren Wuyue family is like an old hen that can lay eggs to the entire Konoha Village. When Konoha Village needs eggs to replenish his body, if you don't lay eggs for him, he will kill the chickens and take the eggs.
But it was precisely this answer that was so simple that Orange Light couldn't help but fall into deep thought. In fact, he didn't plan to give him 10 million at once as Hosoya and Takashi asked. He would refuse Hosoya and Takashi to ask him for money under the pretext of giving them to their two children, Mr. Zhao, and he would give it, but he would only give five million taels, not a dime more. During the Second Great War of the Ninja World and the Third Great War of the Ninja World, the Ren Wuyue family was sheared twice.
For the first time, he took out 10 million taels in cash and weapons and materials worth 20 million taels in one go as a donation to support Konoha Village's participation in the war. For the second time, he took out 10 million taels in cash and weapons worth 15 million taels and presented them to Konoha Village, which was regarded as the support of the Ren Wuyue family for Konoha Village. It stands to reason that it is very possible to do this, and there is no sign of the outbreak of war, but the financial difficulties in the village will make it necessary to harvest the wool again.
If they really get into the habit of stabbing them when they have nothing to do, even the richest family in the Fire Country may not be able to bear the damage that accumulates over time, right? Besides, it's not that he doesn't agree, he doesn't plan to give, he just gives less, and there shouldn't be any problems.
But a word from the Holy Kingdom woke up the daydreaming orange light.
Ren Wuyue's family can't afford to lose!
No matter what kind of ninja village it is, such as Konoha that promotes peace and love to the outside world, it is definitely not a charity. The value of the Ninja Village's existence is to fight and prevent war, and in the final analysis, it is a large "organization" that kills and kills, and it is an institution of violence. One of the most striking characteristics of violent institutions is their unreasonableness.
The incident of Hachiki Shuo Shigeru has highlighted the attitude of the Konoha high-level towards the middle and low levels, as long as they are not satisfied, they will try their best to satisfy themselves. Hachiki Shuo Shigeru is nothing more than fame that overshadowed the three ninjas and the fourth generation Hokage, and he was forced to commit suicide because of a trivial matter.
So if he doesn't show enough "sincerity", how will Konoha treat him and the Ren Wuyue family?
I'm afraid the expulsion is already the best ending that Ren Wuyue can imagine, look at the Uchiha family, they are almost all about to be excluded from the village, but the upper echelons of the village are still digging pits for the Uchiha family. You must know that the Uchiha is one of the most powerful ninja families in the era of war, and their patriarch at the time, Madara Uchiha, can even be compared to the Thousand Hands Pillar. Let's take a look at what this family has experienced since the establishment of the village?
Orange Light doesn't think that the Ren Muyue family is stronger than the Uchiha family, and Konoha Village said to the Uchiha family that they will do it, so the ...... the Ren Muyue family will be more clean, right? Even the crime Orange Light has already thought about - Connecting with foreign countries.
Ren Wuyue's family also has some blacksmith shops in other countries, and this basin of sewage splashed on the head really can't be washed. In addition, the Ren Wuyue family does not have a figure that can be used, and when the time comes, the high-level of Konoha will pinch it as much as they want, and there will be no chance to resist at all.
Thinking of this, a layer of oil sweat secreted from Orange Light's forehead, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped it, looking at Shengguo's eyes with a slight change, "You came up with it yourself?" ”
Seongkuni pressed his hands on the tatami mats, bent down, and bowed his head, knowing what he would face if he said something like that. Doubt, will follow. A six-year-old thinks more about dealing with such a tricky thing than Orange Light, and no one will believe it's true.
"Father, this is what I came up with." , He answered truthfully, Qingchuan didn't understand why the atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became so stiff, and he didn't even understand what the simple words said by Brother Shengguo meant to the family and to his father. With instinct, he also bowed his head to the ground, not daring to say a word.
Orange Light's eyes were extremely complicated, and he opened his mouth several times to say something, but finally swallowed it back. He wasn't afraid that the blood flowing in the Holy Country's body didn't have the blood of the Ren Wuyue family, and he wasn't afraid that the Holy Country had its own ambitions, but he was afraid that the Holy Kingdom was a chess piece, a high-level chess piece in order to annex the Ren Wuyue family!
In the process of the rise of the Ren Wuyue family, this family also used similar means, constantly annexing those small families, so that the Ren Wuyue family has the reputation of "fire maker".
He also knew very well that the Holy Kingdom was not a bloodline disciple of the Ren Wuyue family, and he would definitely not be able to get as close to the clansmen as Qingchuan. As he grows up, there will definitely be such a thing as a crisis of confidence, but it definitely can't be now. In Orange Light's thoughts, it will not be until at least the age of fourteen or fifteen in the Holy Kingdom that some minor conflicts will break out between the family because of the "rebellion of adolescence".
But this crisis of confidence has come too soon, right? It's not that the Holy Kingdom doesn't trust the Ren Wuyue family, but that he has no Yue Orange Light, and suddenly he is a little distrustful, and he is a little afraid of the Holy Kingdom.
With such wisdom at the age of six, is he a youkai reincarnation? What normal six-year-old child can understand the conversation between him and Kazutaka Hosoya? What six-year-old can say such a sharp thing?
He sighed, if the Holy Kingdom wasn't a one-in-a-million genius, if it weren't for the fact that he had always behaved to the satisfaction of Orange Light, Orange Light would have had people expel him right now, and then let him disappear without a trace.
The expression on his face was unpredictable, and finally he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Holy Kingdom, do you have a sense of identity with this family and this family?" If the Holy Kingdom were a truly precocious child, he would understand what he was trying to say," he said, "Raise your head and talk back!" ”
The Holy Kingdom straightened up, groaned slightly, shook his head, and nodded again.
