People who grew up in the high-tech information age have a hard time understanding why their ancestors gave up their low-hanging fruit.

In most cases, it's not that the ancestors are short-sighted or weak.

The cost of maintaining rule in remote areas is too high, especially because the geographical environment is too different, and there are difficulties in adapting to the soil and water, such as altitude sickness, parasites such as malaria, plague, or poor transportation, and it is impossible to integrate into the overall national order.

Before quinoline, cinchona, and artemisinin were discovered, the malaria parasite was able to leave all tropical and subtropical colonists helpless.

The so-called glory of the Age of Discovery is a bloody road in which countless sailors who regarded death as if they were at home survived the bloody road of sepsis, impermanent wind and waves, and the risk of getting lost.

Before the advent of industrialization, the "north-south permeable" landform of North America was not suitable for the development of agricultural and pastoral civilization at all, and only with the blessing of mechanized farms, the great plains that were ravaged alternately by cold waves and hurricanes would become the "promised land" for hegemony.

The embarrassment of the country of the sea lies in this, and the status in the mind of the mist ninja is probably not as good as the country of the vortex that has been destroyed, and the output there is also some cherished coral, pearls, etc.

The inhabitants of the Sea Country, who eat the sea by the sea, are seen by the people of other countries as barbarians who smell of fish.

Occasionally, the Mist Ninja would accept hires from the inhabitants of the Sea Country to help them out, not because they really valued them, but because they were meant to prevent the Konoha Ninja from reaching out.

The sea is vast, boundless, and in the ninja war, Konoha Village sent a partial division all the way to make a great detour from the country of the sea, and the side and rear can go straight to the hinterland of the country of water.

Although it is less likely, it cannot be ignored.

In addition, the most famous trade in the land of the sea is the "slave trade" in the new era, which is known as the new development model of "demographic dividend" such as labor export, apprenticeship and maid dispatch, earning low wages, purchasing necessary daily necessities, and in the spring and autumn, relying on gold ships to open up the lifeline and traffic materials.

It's not that the Sea Country has too many people and has to export cheap labor to the Ninja Continent, but that they have no other choice but to sell coolies.

Of course, poverty in the land of the sea is universal, and a few big people who stand at the top are also very rich. For example, the leader of the gold ship escort team secretly controlled by the Gushan family, the starfish, has the wealth that the well-off family of the Fire Country will not be able to earn back for ten lifetimes.

Chunyu will not hesitate to agree to Gu Shanbushui to go to the land of the sea to "play in the mountains and waters", which is normal.

It's not like it's strange to get entangled in such small issues.

"The Gushan family, do you intend to meddle in the ninja dispute in Wuyin Village?"

After the general intention was set, the solemn atmosphere was also a little lively, Chunyu pretended to ask casually, and Gu Shanbushui, who heard the words, asked with a smile,

"Is it any good?"

Although there are not many blood inheritance limits flowing out of the ninja world, it is not one or two, and after many bloodlines are thinned to a certain extent, there is almost no possibility of awakening.

Those last descendants of the ninja clan who fled are not very good at what they do, but their tempers are very big, and they are arrogant, and no one looks down on them.

Before leaving the family, I am afraid that these carefully selected guys were also indoctrinated with ideas such as incognito, hibernating, waiting for the opportunity, and trying to revive the family.

Let's not mention whether it's worth buying them, if the huge Gushan family is reduced to the point that it can only survive by some losers, it is better to lie flat as soon as possible and wait for the wheels of history to run over.

As if realizing that he had asked the wrong question, Chunyu laughed dryly twice, and then explained:

"I want to know, what is the reason why the young family governor wants to shelter those rebels, is it because this is your sphere of influence, and we are not allowed to take action?"

"That's a good question......

Gu Shanbushui's brain teaser was in a hurry, thinking about how to answer more appropriately,

"What are you prepared to pay to find out?"

For this little thing, Chunyu naturally doesn't have to know, so he gave up.

"It can't be to help the needy, in order to show the kindness and majesty of the young family governor, right?"

"Whatever you think, I'm useful anyway, maybe one day, your Misty Hidden Village's Blood Inheritance Limit Ninja Clan will be killed, and you have to thank me for preserving the bloodline seed!"

"How is that possible? You're really good at laughing! Our goal is only to tame the ninjas who do not obey Mizukage's orders, not to exterminate them......"

"It's hard to say."

The ancient cedar water pretended to be a deep temptation,

"The Kaguya clan with bad brains plotted rebellions or provoked wars every once in a while, and they won't be gone at any time!"

……

The departing spring rain, silently recalling the meaningful words of the ancient cedar water, always felt that the meaning was meaningful.

The young family governor, who knew what was on his mind, held a celebratory dinner very generously, and in the beautiful hall with a very fashionable sense, well-dressed and reserved men and women were talking quietly together.

In the end, Uchiha Shisui is still several years younger than Gu Sugi Bushui, and it is an exaggeration to say that there is a generation gap, limited to the difference in identity, there is really nothing to talk about.

Talking about something too realistic, and there is a sense of being shallow and profound.

"You three, have you been hit?"

Gu Shanbu Shui drank all the fruit wine in the wine glass, smiled comfortably, and asked Shiranui Genma, Ebisu and Maitkai,

"Obviously a junior, but his strength is so strong, and his fame is greater than yours, it is estimated that Kakashi Hachiki can be compared to him."

"The gap between people is really huge."

Ignorant Genma, who had long been accustomed to it, responded calmly,

"Uchiha...... It's really a terrible family, although it's a stinky fart, but it does have the ability. The Uchiha Suzumi is already so strong that people feel that they can't resist it, and there is an even more terrifying Uchiha Itachi behind him. ”

Speaking of the changes in the village over the years, the three people present were also a little embarrassed.

The top genius of Konoha Village, the Uchiha family has not been broken, and it is too difficult for other ninja clans to come up with a dominant powerhouse, and in comparison, the gap is obvious.

There are a large number of civilian ninjas, and there is only one wave of wind and water, which is still an iconic figure cultivated by the whole village under the teaching of Jiraiya.

Ebisu, who had been silent for a long time, pushed the magic mirror on the bridge of his nose and said:

"Genius is hard to come by, but the elite can be achieved through hard study and hard work, and one day, we will be able to find our own place!"

"I didn't ask you this ......"

Gu Shanbu Shui smiled and encouraged,

"The most suitable and comfortable location may not be the ...... you want"

"So many people want to be Hokage, but there can only be one village chief, how can they all get their wish?"

Such a sophistry, the nimble Ebisu did not fall for it, but refuted it very simply.

"Why not yourself, but someone else?"

After a pause, the young family governor continued to ask,

"Perhaps, Uchiha...... That's what they think now! After the death of the fourth generation, the third generation reappeared in the mountain, although it is not bad, why not choose the fifth generation? ”

The words left Shiranui Genma and Ebisu speechless, and as for Maitkai, he focused on how to fill his stomach with good food.

If outsiders were so sarcastic, I don't know that Genma and Ebisu would have sneered at each other a long time ago.

Gu Shanbu Shui is half of his own people who have been in Konoha Village for more than ten years, and he almost became a colleague, and some things can't be perfunctory for him.

"You happened to be absent from the Nine-Tails Raid Village back then, so some things are not very clear!"

"Maybe!"

This topic will stop here, and if you go any further, I'm afraid it will really hurt you.

The Nine-Tails, who almost destroyed half of Konoha Village, has always been a pain in the hearts of Konoha ninjas, and it has only been about six years now, so it is not so easy to forget.

There are so many compatriots who have died, and almost every family wears filial piety, which is not an exaggeration at all.

The Uchiha family, which is suspected of being the culprit behind the scenes, has a growing conflict with Konoha Village.

Maybe they are innocent, and even think that the village that Senju and Uchiha have teamed up to build should have half of their own.

After the Senju family fell silent, the Uchiha family was the most qualified to serve as the Hokage.

It has been more than fifty years since the establishment of Konoha Village, and after three generations, it has not been the turn of the Uchiha to take the throne, who can stand this?

The two brothers between the Thousand Hands Pillar and the Thousand Hands are strong, no one has ever competed, and the three generations have some twists and turns, but they are also popular.

The four generations have made outstanding achievements in battle, and they are quite popular, almost expected, even Orochimaru can't compete, and the Uchiha family has no choice but to swallow their anger.

Now that the four generations are gone, there is no successor, and it should be the turn of the Uchiha family, but as a result, the Uchiha family was not given a chance to re-emerge from the mountain, and various targets were suppressed.

The contradiction seems to be impossible to suppress.

Every once in a while, you can see the Uchiha people of the Security Department clashing with the villagers in the process of law enforcement.

This division is not based on personal will, and the possibility of coexistence between the village and the Uchiha is getting smaller and smaller.

After a long time, I didn't know that Huo Genma suddenly asked Gu Shanbu Shui strangely:

"Your Furusugi family wants to intervene and mediate the relationship between the village and the Uchiha family?"

"How is that possible?"

The young governor couldn't help laughing,

"What does this have to do with us? The great reputation of the Uchiha family, a little turmoil, the entire Konoha Village will be in pain. To tell you the truth, if the Senju or the Uchiha still have the Hokage authority, I will have to think about marrying them......"

In a word, the biggest difference between Gu Sugi Bushui and the Konoha ninja present is exposed.

When Konoha Village was first established, the invincible Senju and Uchiha would not look down on such a "flashy" family as the Furusugi clan at all, and they didn't even pay much attention to the daimyo.

Now, feng shui takes turns, the tide rises and falls, and there will always be times when you have to rely on external forces.

"Then you're going to be disappointed!"

I don't know that Huo Xuanma pressed Gu Shanbushui's shoulder and asked in a low voice,

"I heard that your daughter is in a ninja school, maybe the next generation has a chance to get married!"

"Come on!"

Gu Shanbu Shui pursed his lips,

"Some people don't want our Gusugi clan to stir up trouble in Konoha Village, but I've been sticking to it for more than ten years, and I can't be a Konoha ninja."

As the topic gradually deviated, everyone was no longer reserved, and the Konoha ninja, who was not supposed to drink alcohol during the mission, also tried the newly brewed fruit wine a little.

The three students of the same grade, who rarely tried it, began to lose their eyes after drinking the wine that did not remove much fusel oil.

"What a lovely guy. I drank like this in order to try some new flavors and try the alienation of perception. You are not a drunkard who is not drunk with a thousand glasses, what can you do! ”

After instructing the servants to send Shiranui Genma, Ebisu and Maitkai to the guest room to rest, Furusugi Busui perked up his spirits, swept away his half-drunk depression, and found the Uchiha Shisui who was eating meat and drinking juice.

"I heard what I said just now, I don't know what the young governor has to say?"

didn't hide it much, Gu Shanbu Shui just wanted Uchiha Shisui to hear, as long as he was still on a mission, the slightest movement would definitely not be let go.

"Uchiha...... In fact, there is not much intersection with our Gushan clan, if it weren't for the mission, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to communicate openly with the outside world! ”

"It's a bit of a pity, but ...... The Uchiha still have too many problems to solve. Still, am I confident that I can overcome the difficulties? ”

"You're alone?"

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Uchiha Shisui smiled proudly, sure enough, it was still the clansman who had the unbeatable blood flowing in his body, and self-confidence was absolutely indispensable.

"Do you want to help us? With all due respect, the Uchiha family has no idea of marrying the young family governor, and they don't have to use forces outside the village to negotiate with the three generations......"

"I know!"

The contempt revealed by the Uchiha Shisui gorgeously was still obvious, and Gu Sugi Bushui said disapprehantly,

"If the Hyuga family doesn't set up any caged birds, we would prefer to marry them, and even, Hinata Hinata seems to value the connection with the Fire Country more."

"What does the young governor have to say?"

"Before I say what I think, I have a question to figure out, that is, what is your Uchiha family's prediction for the worst outcome, and do you have a plan to deal with the crisis?"

"Clan secrets, forgive me no comment!"

"Okay!"

Gu Shanbushui hesitated for a moment, originally planning to reveal the opponent's hole cards, and bitterly stated that the so-called strongest illusion - other gods could not turn the tide, and finally gave up after thinking about it.

Don't look at the Uchiha Shisui is indeed a sunny guy, but his stubbornness is also extraordinary, if the other party thinks that the existence of Gusubi Shui is a threat, and uses illusion to control the Shaojiadu, it will be bad.

In order to achieve his goal, he even planned to use the pupil technique of Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eyes on his compatriots, Gu Shanbu Shui didn't think that he, an outsider, would let his subordinates show mercy.

"What if...... I mean, if one day, you fall into a certain death, I can give you a chance to witness the consequences of your choice, are you ready to accept it? ”
