Chapter XXVII

Kumanokuni is a very typical tropical peninsula climate, facing the sea on three sides, the air humidity is very high, and some people from the north are not very adaptable.

I always feel a layer of wet sweat on my body, which is very uncomfortable, and my underwear also has a sour body odor.

Between the exhalation and the inhalation, I feel very tired, and the feeling of chest tightness and irritability lingers.

The word "unadaptable" is not all because of the low resistance to local epidemics, such as temperature, humidity, wind direction, mosquitoes, etc., which can make people in other places feel uncomfortable.

Gu Shanbu Shui is a ninja with a foundation, and the eldest young master, who rarely goes out, couldn't help it, and urged his eldest cousin to leave this ghost place quickly.

After the freshness, the grandsons of the daimyo no longer have a good impression of this bear country that seems to be beautiful mountains and rivers, but is actually a wild land.

Gu Shanbushui, who has other important tasks, naturally will not follow the wishes of his wayward cousin.

After waiting for nearly a week, the two of them, under the leadership of the guards, traveled to several small towns along the coast, which were still a bit large.

Along the way, there are specialized people who survey the terrain and assess the potential of the country.

It's rare to have a good hiking experience, and after a nice soak in the hot spring inn, you don't want to move when you recline on a deck chair.

"Brother Bu Shui, even if the traffic conditions here are not good, you can't let the carriage pass, it's good to ride a horse, why do you insist on walking?"

"Riding a horse through the mountains and forest trails is something you can't do without a few years of experience. Also, raising a good horse is not something that ordinary families can afford, and the vast majority of civilians can only rely on two legs to communicate in this bear country where there are not even a few serious roads. ”

Gu Shanbu Shui replied,

"To judge the economic vitality of a place, in most cases, you can just experience the traffic conditions. I need to know how many off-duty ninjas can be supported by the land of bears, and how much ...... will be invested in the follow-up development."

"Wouldn't it be good to go directly to the Daimyo of the Bear Country? Ask him that he knows everything, and we don't need to do it ourselves! By the way, Brother Bu Shui really wants to build a ninja village here? ”

"Not surprisingly, that's it! We have a special status, so it's a bit inappropriate to go to meet the Daimyo of Kuma no Kuni without making an appointment in advance. If you don't even say hello and come by boat, the other party is likely to be suspicious, and if you take the initiative to come to the door again, there may be some misunderstandings......"

The daimyo of the five major countries have the money to hire powerful ninjas to protect themselves, and the daimyo of the small countries who live a tight life do not have much money to waste on hiring ninjas as bodyguards.

The five great ninja villages are fighting a war in the ninja world, and these small countries are not idle, the five major countries have already lived in peace, and they are still not stopping.

There are many wandering ninja organizations that live on a large number of "snail wars" between small countries, maniacs who sell wars, who can even add their own lives to the gambling table for commissions, assassination of daimyo and palace coups are endless.

Liang thought about it for a while and understood a little:

"We haven't inherited the foundation of our fathers and grandparents, but we are just sons and sisters who go out to play in the mountains and rivers, and we have nothing to talk about with the Daimyo of the Bear Country......

Just when the two of them were enjoying the rare refreshment after bathing, Hansaki, who had been sent to run errands, finally returned.

The leader of the Wind Demon Clan, who was half-kneeling on the ground, submitted an investigation report, and stumbled to explain for a long time before being sent away by Gu Shanbushui.

Seeing the eldest cousin slowly looking at the thick stack of documents, Liang Zhong asked curiously:

"Didn't you hear Hanzaki say it just now? Why do you need to submit a formal paperwork and waste time looking through it? Anyway, it's not a big deal, I don't believe that he can write flowers with his ability......"

Gu Shanbu didn't raise his head, and explained flatly:

"Human memory and reflexes are very limited, language is a very unreliable way of communication, maybe Hanzaki is not lying, but his words are certainly full of his own prejudices and tendencies; The report on paper is not much better, but it is very intuitive evidence, which can be reviewed and verified repeatedly, and the person who wrote it should be responsible for ......"

"Credentials, but also handles?"

"What do you think? Why do so many people like to do some superficial work and really think that they are idle and have nothing to do? ”

The corners of his mouth were raised, and the young governor flicked the yellowed paper with his fingers,

"In most cases, they are not very useful, but in case of an accident, this piece of paper is a weapon, ironclad evidence that people dare not quibble. At the same time, it also makes those who want to fool me a little jealous, make things up, and are easy to be slapped in the face by the 'facts' of the past......"

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a secretary or assistant to help? There are so many servants, if you don't need them, what are you raising them for? ”

Liangzhong is still a little puzzled by Gu Shanbushui's insistence on doing it himself on some issues.

The eldest cousin sighed and shook his head:

"You are the son of the clan who will inherit the position of the daimyo in the future, and the way you look now is really a bit reassuring! Do you know why I'm asking the Furusugi family to step up their forces, even seeking to build a ninja village outside to help them? ”

"Isn't it because Konoha Village doesn't accept it, and you want to change your way and prove that you can do it?"

"Am I that idle?"

The eldest cousin glanced at the little cousin who chuckled a little,

"Who do you think is the one who threatens our power in the Fire Nation, who are our allies, and who are the pillars that cannot be given up?"

Liang thought about it for a moment and replied:

"The enemy is the Land of Thunder, the biggest threat is Konoha Village, and the most important thing to win over is other nobles, large and small!"

"I kind of understand why my uncle asked you to travel with me, and my grandfather has no reason to object, and I don't even understand the underlying logic of how this world works."

Gu Shanbu ShuiGu Shanbu Shui rolled the document in his hand into a straight cylinder and knocked on the confused Liang Zhong's head,

"The Land of Thunder is not to be worried; Konoha Village is an enemy who is very likely to directly shake the Daimyo's rule in the future, although they are now inseparable allies; Our real cornerstone is the hundreds of millions of civilians in the Fire Country, and those nobles, large and small, are ill-intentioned allies that need to be wooed......"

"This ...... Right? ”

The ignorant conscience became more and more confused, and Gu Shanbu Shui concisely concluded:

"With the support of hundreds of millions of civilians, the monarch of the Fire Country, who is the general country, is the daimyō, not the daimyo of the Five Shadows or other countries; The struggles and compromises between the feudal nobles, wealthy merchant families, and high-ranking lords other than us determined who would be the great name among the feudal clans; If one or both are missing, you must have enough force to suppress dissenting opinions. It's a pity that although the daimyo has a sword in his hand, he is not the sharpest, and Konoha Village is, so they are enemies that must be weakened or suppressed......"
