Chapter 150: The Old and the New
Hearing Ape Fei Asma's doubts, Gu Shanbu Shui was not surprised, and responded with a very flat smile:
"You're a thick and thin guy who looks like he's grinning, but he actually has an inner show."
"So you admit it?"
"Admit what, digging into the corner of Konoha Village? Don't be silly! How many ninjas in the Land of Fire are not related to Konoha Village? In addition to the famous "Blood Mist", it is your ones who have the most rebellion, and each one is bigger than the other."
The sneering Gu Shanbu Shui waved his hand lightly, signaling the other party not to be too troublesome,
"A lot of things have happened in the past, and the Daimyo and Hokage know it in their hearts, and our Furusugi family will definitely not do anything to dig your own grave, and you Konoha ninjas should not think that you are the overlord of the ninja world and do not take others seriously, and take everything as an exclusive thing as a matter of course."
"You...... What do you mean?"
"I'll just tell you something you don't know, most of the sealing techniques, enchantment techniques, and tailed beast inheritances in Konoha Village were brought over by Princess Mito and Uzumaki Kushina, and they belong to the "dowry", and the man can't control the possession, only their children have the right to inherit. More than 20 years ago, Konoha Village saw the death of the country of the vortex, and then ......."
Gu Shanbushui exaggeratedly spread his hands,
"All the 'mother's family' is gone, so you naturally take all the inheritance for yourself, bullying orphans and widows, and raising the son of the hero who saved the village as a monster, really everyone is blind?"
"You...... Nonsense."
"I don't argue with you about the truth or falsehood of these things, I just look at the results. Naruto Uzumaki is my daughter's classmate, so how could he not pay attention? After the death of the fourth generation and Uzumaki Kushina, how he is doing, I don't need to say it, everyone is looking at it. In addition......"
After a pause, Gu Shanbushui lowered his voice and asked with a slight mockery:
"Konoha Village's open fire escape ninjutsu, and even the source of the entire ninja world, almost all come from the Uchiha family, I have to say that the thousand hands and Uchiha are indeed talented, and the essence of the two clans has laid the foundation of the ninja world overlord. As a result, that's how you treat the meritorious veterans, so many people, kill them cleanly, it's really ruthless!"
"That's Uchiha Itachi......
"Don't be stupid, just fool outsiders, you think I look like a person who is easily fooled?"
Glancing at the reddish ape Fei Asma with disdain, Gu Shanbu Shui cocked his calves and concluded playfully,
"Even if the guardian shinobi who has been a daimyo for a few years gives up the so-called "jade" war, he should understand how stupid it is to judge a great nobleman like us from a shallow standpoint. As for those "righteous people" who support the rebuilding of the Vortex Country, they have never belonged to Konoha Village, and they have not been deceived by me by any despicable means, but are serious subjects of the Vortex Country."
Asma, who was a little annoyed by what was said, was silent for a moment, then suppressed his uneven thoughts and said:
"It's me who lost my words, forgive me."
Gu Shanbu Shui unexpectedly lifted this stubble:
"Reversing old accounts is actually something that requires courage. Your father's position in the Hokage is because he can accept reality, base himself on the present, and be down-to-earth; "The Darkness of the Ninja World" loses because it asks too much, ignores reality, and wants to get everything; The defeat of the Uchiha family stems from not being able to recognize reality and misestimating their own strength."
"Okay, I have a question at the end. Since you are so strong, why don't you shoot directly in the ninja war? If there is such a new force, I am afraid that the war will end a few years earlier, and many innocent people will survive."
"When you become the Hokage, you'll understand, now......
Gu Shanbushui, who was a little impatient, shook his head slightly,
"Truthfully report the three generations, there are some things that should not be discussed by you......
"Why? I am the Messenger and have the ......."
"If you have any hope of becoming the fifth or sixth Hokage, I think we still have some common language, and now, it's not suitable."
There is also a big difference between a messenger and a messenger, if Kakashi Hachiki is in person, or if it is Nara Shikaku, who is not easy to fool, Furusugi Busui is also
Will say a few more words.
The so-called ninja war, in fact, is the five villages fight, in essence, it is another level of "middle ninja exam", as long as one big ninja village destroys another big ninja village, between the five great powers, it will not end up in person.
In the ninja war, the conventional rule includes not expanding the war to secular civilians, although all kinds of manslaughter and secondary disasters still seriously affect the livelihood of ordinary people, at least on the surface, they still have to abide by it, and the ninjas are not willing to completely destroy the world they live in, otherwise, even if they win the ninja war, there will be no loot to harvest.
Ninja Village is strong, which is good for big countries, but it is not absolute, Fog Hidden Village is not bad, but the Water Country is indeed far from the other four big countries.
No matter how strong Konoha Village is, can it help the Daimyo of the Land of Fire unify the entire ninja world?
Again and again in the ninja world, there is no possibility of changing the existing pattern of the ninja world, and the order of one village and one country has been established for more than 50 years, and it still has its historical inertia.
The ninjas killed and killed, and suffered heavy casualties, for the aristocratic group led by the daimyo, the impact was actually not so great, and the conflict of interests between the ninja villages had a great impact on the balance of power between the great powers, but the interests and positions of the two were not completely identical.
The status of ninjas has always been ordinary, and it is not for nothing that many wealthy people regard them as tools that come and go when they are called. Counting on the Daimyo and the Furusugi family to fight against a strong enemy for Konoha Village, the Hokage with a little brain would not think so.
After sending the young and naïve ape Fei Asma away, Gu Shanbu drank warm plum wine to relieve fatigue.
The side effects of the Uchiha family's extermination are about to appear, the dominance of Konoha Village is declining, and the temptations of Yun Shinobi are becoming more and more frequent, it is not enough to take a few masters to preside over the overall situation, and it is necessary to let those who are ready to move see that the determination of the Furusugi family to rebuild the country of the vortex is unquestionable.
Of course, what he said to Ape Fei Asma was only to scare him, the Uzumaki family was re-established, and he would not ask for the treasure "stored" in Konoha Village, what nine-tailed human pillar power and forbidden arts, etc., look at the point, the strength is not enough, don't hold too many good things, otherwise, it will be a blessing or a curse.
Looking at the progress reports sent by the soil at will, Gu Shanbushui is also quite satisfied, and it is not bad to be able to support a country's shelf in more than half a year.
Just when he was busy, there was a knock on the door of the study, and without waiting for an answer, a figure walked in without permission.
Gu Shanbu Shui's heart sank, and he looked at the person who came.
The appearance of a man in his thirties, but his demeanor and temperament reveal a lot of tiredness, and some people believe that he is in his forties. A slightly disheveled medium-length hair, combed back quite smartly.
At a glance, Gu Shanbushui knew that this person was definitely either rich or noble, the kind of pampered, commanding, and powerful arrogance that could only be cultivated, and he couldn't even suppress his down-and-out demeanor.
It's just that it looks a little familiar, especially the face and eyebrows, Gu Shanbushui feels that after a decade or two, he will be the same.
"Are you ......?"
"Xiao Bushui, you don't recognize me, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Uncle Jiji?"
I vaguely saw a little shadow of the past, and Gu Shanbu Shui was also very surprised.
"It's true that I hugged you back then, and I talked to you a lot. When I see you, it's like the high-spirited me I was right now."
"Huh? I'm sorry, the reunion was too sudden, and I didn't know how to deal with it for a while."
The appearance of the heir of the previous generation of the Gushan family, who was deprived of the right to inherit in the early years and did not know where he was imprisoned, had almost disappeared from Gushan Bushui's mind.
Occasionally, Gu Shanbushui will also ridicule this relative for being too self-willed, playing a good hand of cards, and finally losing all the games, but in fact, he still respects this kind of person with ideals.
Because I don't have it, I especially look forward to people with noble character.
Although Uncle Zhiji's work is too rough, he is not to blame, he is a hot-blooded young man who is dedicated to doing great things and is famous in history, and it is not surprising that he is easily instigated, he has insufficient knowledge, and he does not have a capable helper, just for a while
Impulsive, hitting the head and breaking the blood flow is also inevitable.
The baptism of blood and fire in the thousand-year-old Warring States period took decades of Gou'an to gain a solid mass foundation.
The right time for the right people to do the right thing, all three are indispensable, otherwise it is a tragedy.
"I also hesitated for a long time before I decided to come to see you, there are some words, I have been holding in my heart for a long time, I have to talk to you about it."
"Listening to your tone, it seems that I have long been free, why don't I know at all? The old man never mentioned it to me......
"It didn't take long for me to be lifted, two years after your daughter Kaori was born, and there were no taboos except that I couldn't leave the confines of the old country of Inaba."
"That...... Why don't you come back to us?"
"What about meeting? What happened back then, I caused a lot of people to die well, and I was really speechless."
"My grandfather and mother actually don't have any prejudices, after all, they are a family, and they just care about everyone's decency to make a appearance."
"I know I know, so for so many years, I have rarely shown my head, turned a blind eye, just pretended not to know, if I really took a picture, some people would still be embarrassed."
"Alas!"
The young family governor, who sighed slightly, asked the former quasi-family governor,
"I can come whenever I want, as long as I am at home, I am still very idle, and my mother and father do the troublesome socializing and surface work that is not nutritious."
"My cousin and cousin-in-law are both good people, so you can be lazy."
Uncle Zhiji, who was sitting opposite, poured himself a cup of tea very naturally, and after moistening his throat, Zhengse said,
"Straight to the point! Over the years, I have also silently watched what my family is doing, and I originally had some ideas, but now I don't understand it more and more, Gu Shan...... Where are we going? Recently, there has been a speculation that what you are doing is actually similar to what I want to do, but the process and the result are very different."
"No, I'm not as noble as your cousin, but when I have the spare energy, I just do what I can a little bit......
"And then, it adds up, and the changes become more and more obvious, don't they? And it didn't cause much backlash, and even many people were willing to follow. If I can do that, I am afraid that everyone will not betray their relatives."
"Uncle Jiji, the biggest difference between me and you is not the means, but the ends. I think what really makes you fail is the inherent pride and conceit of our family. Maybe everything you do is for the good of others, and even at the expense of wronging yourself and fulfilling others. However, in my opinion, this is just satisfying your personal sense of accomplishment in realizing the value of life. If nothing else, have you asked those who have benefited from your reforms whether they are genuinely willing to accept them? The greatest sorrow in this world is to fly the banner of doing good for others, doing self-satisfying things, and not caring whether others can stand it or not."
"You mean, they don't want to? How is this possible, it is clear that the reform is to elevate their status and make their lives more worthwhile."
"How many people were on your side when you were defeated? Don't kid yourself!"
Gu Shanbushui smiled very frankly,
"The imposed favor and the imposed oppression are unbearable burdens. That's why I never do thankless work."
"If you don't do thankless things, then ......"
After a little pondering, I will understand,
"Don't put yourself in a place of suspicion, and don't charge into battle yourself, right?"
"Be a person first and then do things, take care of the small family first and then everyone, you can't get the order wrong. My consciousness is so high, so I'm a little closer to the people."
"I see."
Uncle Zhiji suddenly realized,
"You have become law-righteous and scolding me for detaching myself from the masses and cutting myself off from the people. How can a tree without roots and water without a source be successful? You're right."
mentioned some old things, and the former young governor was also embarrassed.
Two hours later, his face was pale
With a slightly ruddy discipline, he said goodbye to Gu Shanbu Shui and came to a side hall reception room, where Gu Shanzheng had been waiting for a long time.
"Why did you come here, it's so speculative?"
"Not really. That cousin of mine is even more arrogant than I was, though he hides it well."
"Did you catch anything?"
Masakoto Furusugi put down the teacup and asked curiously,
"My father-in-law commented back then, you are the smartest person in our family for more than a hundred years, but you are easy to be smart and mistaken by smart."
"Actually, that's what happened, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted so many years. However, brother-in-law, this son, it is just that he will not cause trouble in the future, once something happens, I am afraid that Gu Shan...... Even the entire Fire Nation can't hold it."
"The stronger the ability, the more outstanding the ability to stab Lou Zi, I understand this."
The old father had already expected it,
"I found out a few days ago that that guy was so bold that he actually interfered in the internal affairs of Konoha Village and set a fire......
"Konoha Village...... Uchiha?"
The cousin of Zhiji, who had been deprived of the name of the Gushan family, was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted,
"I understand. He is not an impulsive risk-taker, but he will never hesitate when the right opportunity arises. I feel like I've done the right thing when I come back this time, and I have a lot to do so that I don't have to waste the rest of my life."
