Chapter 1: Eternal Predecessors
Thirty-nine years of Konoha and spring!
At the entrance of the ninja school, several long flags were erected, and they were filled with blessings for the new children of the village.
On a conspicuous display board, an announcement is pasted.
"Those who pass the entrance to fill the vacancy: Gushan Bushui, Togakure Sunrise."
A few days later, a new name was added to the neatly printed bulletin board, Maitkai, and the handwriting was obviously handwritten, which was quite different from the previous color and size contrast.
……
In the fifty-fourth year of Konoha, a young man with medium and long black hair who was about twenty years old, dressed in ordinary clothes, with plain cheeks and a serene expression, withdrew his gaze full of hope.
"Lost again, really...... It doesn't give people any hope or illusion!'
Packed up his emotions and cheered up the young man, turned around and left, giving up the position of the best viewer, and soon, a large number of teenage children, mixed with parents in twos and threes, surrounded the place, and the previous hustle and bustle resumed.
"Sure enough, I didn't pass the assessment this year, I'm so old, and I don't feel ashamed to sit in the same classroom with a group of children?"
"Shhhh Be quiet, he hasn't gone far, be careful to be heard. It is said that the energy in his family is very unusual, and even the three generations are not good at driving him away casually, and it is easy to clean up a small person like us! ”
"I heard the old drunkard next door chatter, he drank too much not long ago, and spent a lot of money to bet that guy was not qualified again, and he was still annoyed that he drank and misbehaved when he went out this morning, and now he is probably going crazy......"
"So lucky? I want to give it a go, and I can't say that I can make a lot of money. ”
"Isn't it forbidden to open black markets in the village, where can I bet?"
"This little brother, take a step to speak!"
"If you want me to say, the three generations are still not ruthless enough, this kind of untalented gentleman should be driven away as soon as possible!"
……
The noisy sound of all kinds fell into the ears of Gu Shanbushui, a black-haired young man who was not slow to stay away from the crowd, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and angry, mixed with a little helplessness.
The whispering of children is still somewhat restrained, and the cynicism of those adults is very hateful.
Since it was not the first time he had experienced such a thing, Gu Shanbushui did not go up to theorize in humiliation, but accelerated his pace and hurried out of this place of right and wrong.
Such a posture unsurprisingly makes people feel that the party has a weak style, and the villagers who have no courage and are embarrassed by the large number of people, and the laughter and ridicule are getting louder and louder.
How envious you are of the children of the nobles who will be reincarnated, there will be corresponding jealousy, and the gloating when they are ugly or down-and-out will also follow.
Against the crowd, the black-haired young man who walked around the corner bought a cheap bottle of soda at a roadside stall and took a refreshing sip.
The weather in early spring has become warmer and warmer, but it is still slightly cool under the cool breeze.
While hiccuping and exhaling pantothenic acid, Gu Shanbu Shui, who was taking a deep breath to adjust his emotions, was thinking about whether to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, when a cold and polite voice came:
"Bushui seniors ......"
"Is that you?"
Gu Shanbushui looked at it, and the person who came looked like she was about eleven or twelve years old, with short chestnut shoulder-length hair and inverted triangular red facial lines on her cheeks, looking a very kind little girl.
The girl I met by chance was named Inuzuka Hana, and there seemed to be a big age gap between Gu Shanbu Shui, but the two were actually acquaintances who had been at the same table for a while.
Also a student of the Konoha Village Ninja School, Inuzuka Hana enrolled, Furusugi Bushui has been studying for nine years, and the graduating class has repeated three grades, breaking the record since the establishment of the school.
After being a senior for five years, Gu Shanbu Shui also successfully became classmates with Inuzuka Hana.
Over the years, I don't know how many students have been "watched" by Gu Shanbu Shui to graduate, so many people have come and gone, only Gu Shanbu Shui is still the "nail household" of the graduating class, and he can't successfully become a formal ninja in life or death, and he refuses to give up.
They are all the lucky ones who fill the vacancies, Gu Shanbushui and Maitkai have been classmates for a few months, and soon, the hot-blooded boy who only has physical skills will be transferred to the elite class where Kakashi Hachiki, Sarufei Asma and a group of children of the ninja clan of Konoha Village gather.
After that, Furusugi Bushui also became classmates with "mediocre people" such as Yakushidou, Mizuki, and Iruka, and geniuses like Uchiha Itachi graduated early before they could "be lucky" to become the same level as the legendary senior of the ninja school.
As for the group of people who entered school in the same year as Furusugi Busui, because of the pressure of the third ninja war, almost all of them graduated early, and the most outstanding Kakashi Hachiki will not mention it, Nohara Rin and Uchiha Obito became middle ninjas when Furusugi Bushui was in the fifth grade, and Sunset Red and Shizune were a year late, and most of the other peers were promoted at this age.
"Crane Tail" Uchiha Obito shined in the ninja war, and the glorious "battle death" was put on the memorial monument, and Furusugi Bushui is ushering in the third graduation season.
A year later, the Nine-Tails attacked the village, Konoha Village suffered heavy losses, and Gu Shanbu Shui was in a bad mood because of the failure of the fourth graduation assessment, so he fell ill and recuperated in the resort of his hometown, while wandering for the sudden great change in his life.
Until today, the relationship with Inuzuka Hana's classmates for a year is over, and it won't be long before the beginning of the new year, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Inuzuka Ya, Sakura Haruno, Hinata Hinata and Shino Oil, etc., will become new students of the ninja school.
As a traverser, born into a wealthy and noble family, Gu Shanbu Shui can also be regarded as a lottery, but being mixed like this on the Ninja Road is really a shame for the "seniors".
"Those people are so annoying, they don't know the truth and talk nonsense. With the strength of the predecessors, it shouldn't be impossible to finish the job, maybe there is some misunderstanding, why don't you ask the three generations? ”
Inuzuka said a little angrily, as if she was upset about Gu Shanbu Shui, but Gu Shanbu Shui, who was the person concerned, smiled freely and shook his head:
"The three generations are going to meet, but it's not to ask about the ninja school graduation, but there are other important ......"
Ten consecutive graduation assessments have failed, and the level and comprehensive quality of ninjutsu are definitely not the main reason, and the real obstacle is not even in Konoha Village.
"That'...... What's next for the seniors? ”
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hana! I won't be your predecessor in the future, so you're welcome! As for the future, if nothing else, I had to give up ......"
"Yes! With the strength of his predecessors, even if he can't be a ninja, he can become a great big man......"
As she spoke, Inuzuka Hua handed over a handkerchief and pointed to Gu Shanbusui's chest.
It turned out that when Gu Shanbu Water drank soda boldly, a few drops of orange liquid fell on his chest inadvertently.
The black-haired young man was not polite, took it and wiped it a few times, and returned the handkerchief.
"Thank you, Hua-san!"
"Hmm!"
Inuzuka lowered her head slightly, pretending to look at Gu Sugi Bushui's clothes inadvertently. It seems to be a very ordinary style, but the workmanship is quite elegant, and the fabric is not affordable for ordinary people.
The so-called low-key luxury, probably like this, is obviously a very popular style in Konoha Village today, but it has an unusual charm, in the eyes of ordinary people, it probably seems more decent, and it seems to be more energetic, only people who really understand and observe carefully, can find some clues. As far as the material value of Gu Shanbushui's clothes is concerned, it is almost equivalent to the expenses of ordinary families in Konoha Village for more than half a year.
"Sure enough, it's an extraordinary son of a powerful person, probably not looking down on the internship opportunities provided by the Inuzuka family!"
If you can't be an official ninja in Konoha Village, it doesn't mean that there is no place to practice ninjutsu, the road can't be walked, and there is also a sheep intestine path to pass, it's just more difficult.
Unlike the Inuzuka family's usual fiery temper and upright style, Inuzuka Hana is a rare composed, calm and intelligent talented woman. Because of some accidents,I learned some secrets of ancient Shanbu water.,There are more contacts.,And then get acquainted with this "strange talk of the school park".。
"I take the liberty of asking, will the seniors go back to inherit the family business next, or will they continue to stay in Konoha Village?"
Inuzuka Flower, who has just revealed her beautiful posture and has not grown up with the ability and charm after growth, is like a slightly precocious, intelligent, ignorant and curious girl, with an age gap of nearly ten years, it is rare to have a common topic.
"It's still early to inherit the family business, my parents are in the prime of life, and I don't need to take the lead. But...... There are a lot of personal matters to go back to deal with, and Konoha Village will come often. ”
……
In a secret room far away from the Hokage's house, the ancient Sugi Busui with a tired face stood up from the center of the altar painted with sealing patterns, and when the severe pain from the inside to the outside of his body slowly subsided, he barely raised his sour right hand, poured some chakra, and observed it for a moment, his face remained unchanged, but a monstrous wave rose in his heart.
"Sure enough...... Gone! What the hell is sacred, making such a joke on me?'
After pondering for a moment, the incomprehensible Gu Shanbu Shui brushed the forehead sideburns that were soaked in sweat and blended together.
"Three generations, I'm sorry for you!"
At the edge of the sealing array, the old man in the robe, who lit his pipe and took a few puffs, smiled politely:
"The perseverance of the young governor is really amazing, compared to us, it is just a gesture. If something happens to the distinguished guest in Konoha Village, my old face won't be able to hang up. ”
"Guest!"
Sighing imperceptibly, Gu Shanbushui skillfully concealed the disappointment in his eyes.
"After so many years, I still didn't treat me as my own person, and I still failed after all!"
Whether it is a show of hands or not, whether it will be a shame or not for the time being, every time I bother the most elite master of the sealing class in Konoha Village, and even have to be personally pressed by the three generations of Hokage, an A-level mission cannot be run, and the generous remuneration makes the well-informed Konoha Village Chief can't help but be tempted.
There is no danger, you don't have to go out of the village, and you don't even have to spend too much effort to make that much money. What's more, the client is still a powerful clan son, and he is indeed worthy of the three generations of Hokage-Ape Fei Ri to put down his body and sell his personal favor.
"In short, I have caused a lot of trouble to your village over the years, and there will be a thank you gift later......"
"Oh?"
Ape Feiri, who was a little surprised by Gu Shanbu Shui's words, asked,
"No more? Maybe this year will be different......"
"Forget it, three generations, I will be twenty-one years old in the second half of the year......"
is no longer a child, you have to recognize the reality, this is not home in the end.
"It's good!"
The three generations of Hokage, who was smoking his pipe, also nodded in agreement,
"Thank you very much for the kindness of the young governor, if necessary, Konoha Village will be ready to wait!"
Gu Shanbushui, who had tidied up his appearance, bowed very carefully and left, and left under the leadership of his attendants.
Calm returned to the room, and a short time later, an old figure stepped out of the shadows behind the door.
"Sandaime, you are too stubborn, if you keep him, it will be of great benefit to the village!"
"Tuan Zang, you only see the advantages in your eyes, but you don't think about the other party's purpose......"
The three generations didn't look back, and explained casually, such an attitude made the "Darkness of the Ninja World" who was in charge of the "root" organization very dissatisfied.
"Then what do you think he has ulterior motives?"
"I don't know!"
Ape Fei Sun Slash naturally blurted out,
"It's because I don't know why I don't dare to accept it rashly! In the past few years since the Nine-Tails attack, the village has not regained its strength and is unable to suppress the movements of all sides, and the radical faction of the Uchiha family is becoming more and more difficult to control. We can't take risks, as the incumbent Hokage, we have the burden of making Konoha Village pass on smoothly, so we have to act safely......"
"You're just too indecisive to make things the way they are......"
"That's it!"
Sarutobi interrupted Shimura Danzo's angry accusations,
"I'm the Hokage, so naturally I'll take care of the village affairs in an orderly manner, it's enough for you to cultivate talents for the dark department with peace of mind, don't do superfluous things......"
If there is a hint of nothing, it makes the "darkness of the ninja world" feel cold, and after reining in his resentful attitude a little, he snorted coldly, and then turned to leave.
"Well, don't I know that we need to win over more valuable 'allies'? There's really no way, I can't grasp it. ”
A few years ago, the third ninja war was fought in the dark, and it was naturally impossible to let the heirs of the big money lords and nobles who were not easy to offend become ordinary ninjas and send them to the battlefield as cannon fodder. By the time the aftermath of the war has completely subsided, the good time has been missed and there is no way to make proper arrangements.
The identity of that young man is too sensitive, unless he personally accepts him as a student, or lets Tsunade and Jiraiya come back to teach, otherwise, who will be sent to be the leading teacher?
From Gu Shanbushui's enrollment to his abandonment, a total of 15 years is equivalent to the growth period of a generation.
What is the unbelievable reason for a child of a great nobleman born with a golden key to spend such a long time in a ninja school that is not important to him?
In addition to the above reasons, the strange mutation in the water body of the ancient sugi also made the ape flying day slash, who was the third generation of the Hokage, a little jealous.
Over the years, Gu Shanbu Shui has needed the best sealing array every once in a while to suppress the mutation and eliminate the pain, and the reward required to commission the task has added up to an astronomical amount.
God knows if there will be any hidden dangers in leaving that aristocratic young man behind?
The tragedy of the Nine-Tails attack on the village, the Konoha ninja could no longer afford to do it a second time.
