Chapter 59: The Return
Whether it is in a past life or a present life, the underlying operating rules of the world are almost the same.
"Capital", a beast of prey, is not the same as money; In order for money to be transformed into capital, there are some conditions that must be met.
Because there was no supernatural power in the previous life, money and the system cooperated to have so much power. The ninja world is different, and in addition to money, it also gives the attribute of "chakra", which is roughly equivalent to extraordinary power.
To some extent the strong, chakra is hard currency.
The different strata actually implement two parallel and occasionally overlapping circulation systems.
The biggest weakness of the great nobles, led by the daimyo, is that they have almost no say in the field of chakra distribution, and they only occupy a dominant position in the circulation of money.
Although the Ninja Village is small in size and does not directly compete with the big names, they do control the output, distribution, and use of most of the "Chakra".
The three major psychic beast holy lands, as well as a large number of small intelligent races, also occupy a small share.
Even the Gusugi family, a top family that ranks among the top in the entire ninja world, does not really have the right to speak about the extraordinary power of chakra, and the external appearance is that there are almost no ninja organizations that are absolutely loyal to the great nobles.
Thinking about his previous life, in order to maintain the absolute settlement share in the field of currency circulation, he did not hesitate to launch wars again and again to prevent other currencies from pegging bulk goods, Gu Shanbushui understood that he had absolute control over the field in the ninja village, and pry off a piece of moving bricks.
What is the purpose of all the hard work to build the Ninja Village?
Isn't it to break the ninja's monopoly on supernatural powers, so that worldly money can buy the right to use "chakra" at a relatively fair price?
This is a contest between two different forms of "quasi" currencies with different circulation fields and rules, competing for dominance in the ninja world.
"The big barrel wood clan crossed the sea of stars, just to find the 'pasture' to harvest the chakra, but I didn't expect that I myself would now master a good method of 'planting widely and harvesting thinly'. The method of 'intensive cultivation' and cultivation of 'high value-added crops' in the three major psychic beast holy lands is too slow to produce results, and it is not suitable for my ......"
Toad pills, white snake immortals and giant slugs are all old monsters that have lived for more than a thousand years, and they have the time and patience to wait for the growth of a generation, not surprisingly, the ancient Shanbu Shui, which has a lifespan of no more than 100, does not have that condition.
"This level of magic will make you satisfied, it's really a shallow creature......"
The big barrel wood Kaguya can't look down on this kind of roundabout means with the help of external forces and a few turns, which is not only troublesome, but also prone to problems.
"A few hundred weak sea monsters can't support the consumption required by an active god monster, either make them stronger or more numerous, otherwise, that's it......"
"I'm a living human being, and what I want is not just chakra, so many fish monsters who are proficient in naval warfare, if they are trained to be sea assault cavalry, they will also be a force that is not weak."
Gu Shanbushui not only has extraordinary strength, but also a great nobleman who will inherit the power of the huge family in the future, and the growth of his power is not limited to becoming more capable of fighting, and having more and stronger fighters is also the most important thing.
"Whatever you want!"
pinning hopes on the idea of "cannon fodder", Otsuki Kaguya once had it, but the White Absolute Legion accumulated over countless years almost didn't play any role in the counterattack of the two biological sons, which is enough to prove that the miscellaneous fish can't be counted on at a critical moment.
With the loss of the goddess of Mao, Gu Shanbushui also temporarily stopped exploring new abilities.
Long-term planning, no need to rush.
Hundreds of fish monsters who have just come out of the barbarism, of course, it is not good to call them monsters in the future, but to try to train them to be talents who can come in handy.
After taking stock of the harvest, Gu Shanbushui took the opportunity to wander around the country of the sea, touring the mountains and rivers, and after a rough look, he was ready to return.
On the eve of sailing, Gu Shanbushui summoned the starfish again and explained some important things.
"The 'protection fee' sent to Wuyin Village will be offset by luxury goods such as pearls, coral, and precious seafood as much as possible in the future, and no more valuable living needs such as salted fish, refined salt, and leather will be exchanged for a share of the task. The little things are worthless, but the local residents lack ......"
"Do as I am told. The days of the fog ninja are not easy, but the enjoyment level of the top level is not low at all. ”
"No matter which country or what era is like this, whether the country is strong or weak, whether the people live and work in peace and contentment, does not affect the small number of rulers who spend their days and drinks."
Gu Shanbu Shui, who had expected it for a long time, waved his hand disdainfully, sitting on the rich land of the land of fire, and the young governor of Gu Shan, who was supported by all the people, was one of these "handful" people, and he was quite sympathetic.
"Kiri Shinobi isn't stupid, will they accept it?"
"Do you think that Wuyin Village is so interested in the country of the sea? It is said that it is a sphere of influence, but in fact, it is just a pit, and the weak always have unrealistic expectations of the strong, thinking that if you send money to pay protection money, you will really help you defend against foreign enemies? Don't be silly! There are a few broken islands, and I really don't see any great value. All they need is your submissiveness to set an example for the other vassals. ”
"I see!"
"Self-helper, I think you also understand that if you want to find a way to the light for the country of the sea, I can only show you a direction, how to move forward, it depends on you."
Cooperating with Tianzhi to facilitate the next step of the laboratory's plan is what Gu Shanbushui asked the starfish to do.
In addition, there are hundreds of amphibious sea monsters, except for a small number of them whose strength is acceptable, and those that can come in handy will be brought back to the Ninja World Continent by Gu Shanbu Shui, and most of them will stay in the Sea Country to thrive.
The starfish is the designated liaison and umbrella of Gu Shanbushui.
Those sea monsters, precious minerals mined from the bottom of the sea, will be laundered through the channel of starfish and transported to the ninja continent.
"By the way, you can't call them sea monsters or fish monsters anymore. The official title is the 'Deep Diver' who serves the owner of the sea and the sea maid's room, and claims to be the 'benevolent' clan who accidentally opened the treasure of the legendary pirate king and was cursed by the necromancy to gain ominous powers, but still uphold the kind style! ”
"You're talking about 'Renxia', or mermaids?"
There seems to be some ambiguity between the two in terms of semantics and pronunciation, and the confused starfish can't help but ask.
"It's all about the same, don't bother with such a trivial matter, that's it anyway!"
The captain of the guard, who is barely at the head of his difficulty, is not good at asking what is the point of arranging so many inexplicable settings, as long as these mermaids can become the power of the sea country and make the local natives live well, it doesn't matter what they are called.
"Waiting for your good news, I hope you can make this barren country show a little value, so that I can strengthen my confidence to continue to support."
……
Half a month later, he returned to the ancient Sugi Bushui of Shiqi Island in the Land of Fire with the fleet unhurriedly, and immediately noticed many differences.
In contrast to the slightly solemn atmosphere of the past, Shiki Island is now a temporary tourist destination, and the upcoming 16th "King of Fighters" Challenge has been held for less than a month.
Prior to this, starting this year, an exhibition match for the "Junior King of Fighting" for the age limit of 16 years old will be held in advance as a warm-up for the main event of the "King of Fighting" for all ages.
There are already quite a few guests, but most of the heavyweights have not yet arrived.
With the addition of tourists who come to watch the ceremony, the entire island has opened the "grand event" mode.
With so many people gathered, it was impossible to keep them idle, so the "King of Junior Fighting" came into being.
The middle ninja exam held in the ninja village will have such a great influence, in addition to a few powerful ninjas who are indeed geniuses, there is also a lack of ninja competitive sports.
I didn't have a choice, so I had to watch the children fight.
If you want to watch a genius performance, you are interested, but you don't really have too many unrealistic expectations for very immature children, the main purpose is to observe the strength of the ninja village, whether it is worthy of their tasks and honorarium.
The "King of Young Fighting" is relatively pure, and in the show of the future powerhouse, young people are arrogant, and it is naturally difficult to agree that they are worse than others.
Except for a few big ninja villages that didn't send people to come, even the grass ninja village, the sound ninja village, the star ninja village that the bear country had just reorganized, the land of soup, the country of iron, and even the country of snow far away in the North Pole had people who came all the way to cheer.
After nearly two months of primaries, the lucky winners are about to appear in front of a large audience.
On the eve of the event, Gu Shanbushui told his father in detail what had happened along the way.
"So, you supported a ninja village in the country of bears, and the country of the sea gathered a group of merfolk?"
Masakoto Furusugi pressed his temples, headaches for his son's ability to cause trouble.
Gushan Masako, who was conceited in the past, deeply felt that his past self was already flying and domineering, and his son was actually green and went to the next level.
"Yes!"
In fact, the biggest gain is the secret technique developed by the owner of the sea and the big barrel wood Kaguya.
The improvement of personal strength is the most difficult without the blessing of external forces.
As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem, and now Gu Shanbushui has encountered a bunch of troubles that are not easy to spend money on.
"Our Gushan clan, it's okay to support one or two small ninja villages, and it doesn't matter if you collect a group of strange-shaped victims, the question is, do I feel that your heart is too big? The system of one village and one country is both a restriction and a protection, do you understand? ”
Gu Shanbushui nodded solemnly.
I can go, and so can I.
If you do the first year of junior high school, don't blame the enemy for being fifteen.
There are some things that can no longer be controlled once they are started.
"The Third Ninja World War, a few years after it ended, the major ninja villages are silently licking their wounds, what are you doing this for, to prepare for the Fourth Ninja World War in advance?"
"Perfunctory, it's true, but in essence, I still feel that time is running out, and if I don't seize the opportunity, I will regret it later!"
"Okay!"
Furusugi Masakoto gave up the idea of asking the bottom of the matter, he is not a ninja, some things, his son explained, and he couldn't figure it out.
"You're here to preside over the 'Junior Martial Arts King', and I'll go to greet the Daimyo. I'll also go to see the middle ninja exam held in Konoha Village in the middle of the year. ”
"Aren't you not interested in children fighting?"
"Go and see how individual interested people are doing. You don't think that the people of our Gushan clan in Konoha Village are only the few people on the surface, right? ”
"I see."
Sure enough, the strength of the big family that has been inherited for countless years is not necessarily staggering, and the degree of caution and the ability to save life must have reached the point of perfection.
It's too normal to plant henchmen in Konoha Village.
"By the way, I have good news for you. In the previous class comprehensive test, Kaoru defeated Sasuke Uchiha and became the chief student. ”
Although I don't know how long I can keep it, I can be the top of the list once, so I have to celebrate,
"As soon as you come back, you don't even ask how your daughter is doing in Konoha Village, and I am a little unhappy to mention the fights and killings thousands of miles away."
"Why, I never thought that she could really win the genius of the Uchiha family. During this time, I also often corresponded with Togakushi Sunrise. ”
With Furusugi's character, he didn't bother to care about the genius of Konoha Village, but now he can accurately say the name of Sasuke Uchiha, and he really cares.
It is even more surprising to be able to get information one step earlier than Gu Shanbushui.
"You haven't written to Xianglin, have you?"
Furusugi Masashi proudly raised the small envelope in his hand,
"She wrote to me, very intimate greetings! You've never been so worry-free when you've grown so big, and you've caused a lot of trouble. ”
"That's my daughter, you want to, give birth by yourself, and I didn't stop you."
"Let's talk about it!"
Every time he mentions this, Masakoto Furusugi is not very interested, and it is not easy for him to ask too many questions as a son.
Later, the old father took out a stack of documents and handed them to Gu Shanbushui.
"This is what you want, the special psychic beasts collected from all over the world, as well as the list of well-known research and developers, can be bought with money and status, all in it."
This is already the top research team in the secular world, and it still has a fatal weakness, that is, there are almost no top ninjas with strength, and there are not even a few with psychic talents.
If you can't experience it yourself, you can only rely on other people's narratives and imagination to do research, and there must be insurmountable difficulties.
This is also the most common problem encountered by Gu Shanbushui after so many years of efforts.
Not only are there few ninja talents under his command, but there are not even many ninjas, so there is no choice at all.
"In addition, those so-called compatriots found by Hongye are said to be from the Vortex clan, and the evaluation of crooked melons and cracked dates can be regarded as lifting, and few can come in handy."
This point, Gu Sugi Bushui had already guessed it, don't think that Naruto Naruto and Uzumaki think that he is a red-haired person who is talented.
If it is really so powerful, it will not be destroyed. And most of the elites no longer exist, and only a few "miscellaneous fish" that are not taken seriously have a chance of surviving.
