The Land of Fire and Konoha Village are interdependent, but there are also times when they hold each other back.

The order of one village and one country is a constraint on both sides, and for decades, the daimyo has not thought of provoking the internal relations of Konoha Village and co-opting the real power for his own use.

It didn't work much, and there was also the reason that Senju and Uchiha were too powerful and didn't take the daimyo in their eyes at all, so they finally waited until both sides fell, and they still couldn't find a strong grip.

"Recently, the Uchiha patriarch seems to be a little enlightened, intending to win over the clansmen, and the forces of the Hokage family will show their chariots and horses, and have a 'cultural fight', Shimura Danzo should really have the intention of being ruthless, and the Uchiha family doesn't seem to be ready yet......"

"Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, the Uchiha people are really difficult to deal with, it's just that the situation has deteriorated rapidly in the past two years, and it's also a bit abnormal. I also had people investigate for a long time, but there were no clues. The black hand hiding behind the curtain seems to be quite simple......"

If the development is too much beyond expectations, there must be outsiders interfering, and it is impossible for the daimyo not to pay attention to such a big goal as Konoha Village.

Even the Hokage's third generation, Sarutobi Hiza, soon became aware of the existence of the "Akatsuki" organization and asked Uchiha Itachi to enter it as a traitor to find out information.

The daimyo's words made the prince fall into deep thought, and later said with understanding:

"Shouldn't we put a little pressure on things to slow things down a bit? If you drag it out, there may be an unexpected turnaround......"

The daimyo struggled to sit up, coughed weakly for a moment, and then nodded:

"It's a good idea to put things off, but it's important to keep a detached stance, because if you get too deep, it's not a good thing for us."

"I remembered. Father, rest well. ”

"This country, it's up to you."

When Ren Daimyo was born, there was no Konoha Village, and by the time he took over the authority of the Fire Country, the ninja world was already the world of Senju and Uchiha.

conscientiously maintain the balance of forces on all sides, just to wait for an opportunity, this is decades, and the grandchildren are about to become adults.

The next generation of princes has not seen the cruelty of the Warring States Period, nor has he experienced the horror of Senju Tsuruma and Madara Uchiha.

Once you have ambitions that don't match your strength, you overestimate the strength of Konoha Village, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Fortunately, the talent of the successor is not amazing, and he is also a promising king, and occasionally there are a few guys who don't make people worry, and they don't cause much harm.

Especially Gu Shanbushui, when he thought of that young man who dared to act, the daimyo was envious.

"It's good to be young!"

……

Entering the second year, the competition between Karen and Uchiha Sasuke is becoming more and more intense.

In terms of talent, Uchiha Sasuke, who has not yet stepped on the fast track of soaring strength, has also opened up a gap with most of his classmates, and only Xianglin can barely keep up.

In various theoretical courses, non-practical basic courses, and cultural and art courses, Uchiha Sasuke did not achieve dominance in all subjects, such as Hinata Hinata, Haruno Sakura, and Nara Shikamaru and other children with good brains, the performance is even more amazing, and Xiangrin and Uchiha Sasuke have to work hard to keep up with the first echelon.

In the actual combat class with the largest weight, Uchiha Sasuke and Kaoru have almost no opponents except for each other.

In the test at the end of last year, the high-skilled Xianglin was still strong, but the Uchiha Sasuke became stronger and stronger, even though his brother Uchiha Itachi and father Uchiha Fugaku were too busy and neglected to teach, relying on instinct to check and fill in the gaps, and gradually regained the disadvantage.

The throne of the chief student had not been sitting for long, and it was about to be overturned, and Xiang Ryu also asked Togakushi Sunrise more and more diligently, and spent a lot of time practicing in addition to the regular courses.

After another run with weight-bearing endurance, Xiang Lian, who had rested, also felt a little tired.

"Sister Yuhuo, let's stop here today. My father also said that cultivation is not achieved overnight, but must be combined with work and rest. ”

Although the physique of the Uzumaki family is powerful, it is not a reason to overdraw, and if you don't take care of yourself at a young age, it's not good to toss something wrong.

Yuhuo gently massaged the little girl's sore thighs, and said patiently:

"Once the practice plan is complete, you can use your time at will, if you want to go to some sensitive places or leave Konoha Village, you need to report to Sunrise Sensei, and be sure to bring me."

"Got it."

Xiang Ryu replied clearly,

"Sasa and Kageno are in the manor outside the village, so it would be nice if they could stay in Konoha Village and even enter the ninja school."

"Their identities are too sensitive."

Yuhuo explained,

"Moreover, the young master specially explained that they should not be allowed to eat and live with you, and be too close, so as not to affect each other."

Several girls of the same age have been together for a long time, and they don't know what it will be like.

Don't look at Xianglian's appearance as a little adult, he is only about seven years old in the end, and it is the time when he likes to play.

"Father doesn't care about this, it must be my mother's idea."

Xiang Lian pursed her lips, consciously discovering the truth.

Fortunately, Xianglian is a sensible child, although he is not happy, he is not overly emotional.

"Then go find Sakura and hang out. Ami's naughty guy bullied her in art class again, so I'm going to call Ueino and Hinata and go ...... together."

Don't look at the class of just thirty or forty people, there are also small groups with different relatives from far and near, and there are a lot of signs of each other, with an average background, a weak body, and a good brain, Haruno Sakura, who is excellent in theory classes, has become the weakest link in the small circle headed by Xianglian, and there are often some people who can't provoke Xianglin and Ino because of jealousy, so they take Haruno Sakura out of anger.

"Please take me with you."

Yuhuo said very solemnly,

"During this time, the village is not very peaceful, and you need to be vigilant when you go out......"

"But, Sister Yuhuo, why are you here to protect me?"

The naïve Xiangryu asked curiously,

"Obviously you're not a ninja, but your father and mother are very relieved about you. Sister Yuhuo is very powerful, can you teach me a few tricks? If you don't think of a way, you're about to be surpassed by Zuo Zhu. ”

Yuhuo smiled reservedly:

"My duty is not to fight more, but to keep you out of danger."

"Is that so?"

I didn't find that it was a little strange that Yuhuo had a good sense of good luck and avoiding evil, but he didn't continue to ask.

"The next time my father and mother come, I'll ask for advice."

At the same time, the remembered Furusugi Bushui is dealing with the matter of cooperating with the Inuzuka family.

Originally, I thought that this kind of "trivial matter" would just be enough to send an ordinary clansman to hand over, but I didn't expect that Inuzuka Paw would come in person, and an elite named Inuzuka Jaw would follow.

This Inuzuka Jaw is a ruthless character who once fought side by side with Bo Feng Shuimen, and it is not very clear how strong he is, but his qualifications must be very old.

On the surface, it's just that the Furusugi family and the Inuzuka family have teamed up to establish a canine-based psychic beast service base, but I didn't expect the other party to attach so much importance to it.

The matchmaker Momiji is accompanying Inuzuka Paw to visit around, and from time to time he gives some professional advice to this incubator that is located in the inland area of Inaba and has no one in the four fields.

Gu Shanbushui accompanied Inuzuka Jaw to inspect the condition of the first batch of alienated psychic beasts stationed there.

"I'm afraid the young governor is also a little curious, why is our Inuzuka family so enthusiastic, right?"

The big grinning Inuzuka chuckled and said,

"Don't look at our family as rude guys, but that doesn't mean we can't see the situation clearly."

The brain is not used often, it is not that it is not easy to use, the meaning of the inuzuka jaw, Gu Shanbu Shui can understand it, so he can't help but move his heart, and he heard the other party continue to explain.

"The Inuzuka family is weak and weak, and it is only a symptom that the ninja dog breeding center is becoming more and more complicated, and there is also a very complete biotechnology research institute within the Inuzuka family. I don't know if the young governor knows, but inside Konoha Village, there is also a 'Scientific Ninja' laboratory that has been running for a long time, as well as many parallel research projects. Basically, it's a combination of ninjutsu and secular technology......"

"This ......"

Gu Shanbu Shui sneered,

"Isn't this a secret of Konoha Village and the nobility? Just say it to me, it's not good. ”

"The young governor has thought too much, and the few projects that have not seen the light have long been cancelled, and the rest, although they have not been made public, are not secrets."

I'm afraid that this "scientific ninja" laboratory is a research topic similar to that of "amphibious ninjas", but the latter was abandoned by the village, and Orochimaru picked it up and continued secretly, and the former never stopped.

As for the cultivation of ninja dogs, it is estimated that it is also a scientific research project combining "biotechnology" and ninjutsu, and the Inuzuka family may be deeply involved in it.

"The Inuzuka family is a ninja clan whose main specialty is ninja dog breeding, and it has its own development direction, which may not be completely consistent with the plan of Konoha Village. But ......"

Inuzuka said with a wry smile,

"I'm afraid laymen don't understand how terrifying the resources consumed to engage in biological research are, and with the size of the Inuzuka family, they can't support it at all."

The popular Inuzuka family is not as miserable as Inuzuka said, but they are not good at the economy, and they are really tight, and playing with the ninja improvement research with huge investment but slow return is simply to invest the little wealth left into the bottomless pit.

"Why don't you turn to the village for help?"

Inuzuka lowered his voice and replied:

"I'm afraid that I made wedding clothes for the village in vain. The Inuzuka family is loyal to Konoha Village and has no two hearts, but they can be taken advantage of for no reason, and they are unwilling. The Inuzuka people uphold the style of not fighting or grabbing, but they can't tolerate being robbed of their family business by others. This is the capital of our life, and we should not ignore it......"

Hearing this, Gu Shanbu Shui asked strangely:

"Then our Gushan family is a 'white knight', only asking for something to pay and not to ask for anything in return? Didn't my seniors think too highly of me? ”

Inuzuka said with a smile:

"The positions of Major Governor Furusugi and Konoha Village are very different. Inuzuka stands under the banner of Konoha Village, and while contributing strength, he also strives for the prosperity of his family. What we ask for is different from that of the young governor, and can even complement each other. But Konoha Village is different, Inuzuka is not powerful, and it is not special......"

As long as you want, Konoha Village has obtained enough research results, and it is completely fine to directly kick the Inuzuka family out of the way, and support another "Jackal Mound", "Kumazuka" and the like.

The Gushan family is different, it is not a ninja clan at all, and its core interests are not a certain secret art.

It is even possible that the "money ability" of the Gushan family has already bought a similar inheritance, but it is just not needed.

After pondering for a while, Gu Shanbushui nodded approvingly:

"Ninja dogs are only a small part of the entire ninjutsu system, and I am interested in the secret inheritance of the Inuzuka family, to see if he has any effect in the cultivation field of other psychic beasts. This is a new frontier for both your and our families, and once there is a result, it can be shared. ”

The great progress that ninjutsu has been able to make is not unrelated to the collision of wisdom in the past few decades and the result of the convergence of the secret techniques of various ninja clans.

To tell the truth, the ninja dog, a psychic animal, is indeed very good, has a high IQ, has tactical value, and is easy to guide genetic improvement.

What Gushan Bushui needs is not one or two elites, but a large area.

Once you get on the scale, it's not very economical to have a dog.

For example, if Gu Shanbushui wants to form a "wolf cavalry" with excellent mobility and good at raiding, how many pigs must be killed to feed thousands of canines that eat meat?

Instead of this, it is better to directly form a "Wild Boar Knights" with rough skin and thick flesh and rampage.

Whether it is in the previous life or in the ninja world, the cavalry of the secular army is based on horses, and it is not without reason, which is the optimal result after considering many factors.

In the "Imperial Beast Legion" conceived by Gu Shanbushui, jackals, tigers and leopards, lions, bears, eagles, and owls can only be strengthened by the elite squad.

Horses, sheep, pigs, deer, etc. can all be considered.

As for the direction of more complicated psychic beasts, it will be handed over to the free development of the people, and Gu Shanbu Shui can pick some more mature ones.

Therefore, Inuzuka Jaw is very right, the conflict between the Furusugi family and the Inuzuka family is very small, the former has money, the latter has experience, and they hit it off.

This base is some distance from Konoha Village, but it is not too far away, and it is probably in the sphere of influence of the Gusugi family.

Once officially operational, it is of great benefit to both parties.

Earnings and psychic beasts are important, Gu Shanbu Shui can also cultivate a group of biological research talents who really belong to themselves through cooperation, and they can't always find God to know everything, and it's not good to stare at the big snake pill and "plow" the bald skin alone.

After the visit, both sides strengthened their confidence to continue cooperation.

Especially Inuzuka Jaw, on the way back, sighed to Inuzuka Paw:

"If Young Governor Gushan is still single, I can't say that we will all have to find a woman from within the family to marry. It's a pity ......"

The strength of the Inuzuka family is still a little weaker, and the old-school Furusugi family may not be able to see it.

In Konoha Village, only Senju, Uchiha, and Hinata dare not take the kindness of the Kosugi family in their eyes.

As he was talking, Inuzuka Jaw, who had an idea, suddenly remembered.

"Aren't Ya and Xiang Yan in the same class? Do you think it's possible to ...... in the future?"

"Come on!"

Inuzuka Paw hurriedly waved his hand,

"That stupid son, thank God for getting married and having children in the future, he is not worthy of a good girl like Xianglian. If you can have a friendship in the same class, and Hua and the young governor will be at the same table for a period of time, what do you think they can have too deep to do with each other? ”

The swaggering mother unceremoniously gave up the future of her two children.
