Chapter 154: Carefully Selected
Another year is coming to an end, and the Konoha Village Ninja School is about to close.
Due to the extermination of the Uchiha family, there was much less class time this year, so the students had to postpone the time when they left the school.
Considering that it has not been peaceful recently, Gu Shanbushui made a special trip to Konoha Village, just to pick up Xianglin and go home.
The renovated Myojin Pavilion, the misty sauna room, and the rare words of privacy between Kosugi Busui and Sasuke Uchiha, who hardly have much dealing.
"Uncle, why did you deliberately hint that I came?"
Uchiha Sasuke's slightly cold child's voice asked.
In this year's final exam, he once again lost to Xianglin, which disappointed Uchiha Sasuke. Fortunately, I saw the hope of catching up this time, not like the competition in the middle of the year, the gap was so big that it made people anxious.
"Although I am a little reluctant to be called 'uncle', at this age, it is indeed difficult to ask you to be called a big brother. I'm afraid, the brother in your heart, only Uchiha Itachi is alone! ”
Speaking of this forbidden name, Uchiha Sasuke's face suddenly became gloomy, and his cheeks flushed from the steaming steam could not be concealed.
"Do you know that person well?"
"Not at all."
Gu Shanbushui moved his body bones a little to make the heat more even, and then replied lazily,
"At a young age, don't be clever and want to play adult's words. The heart is sinister, and I don't know when I will arrange a trap for you. As for your question, I won't give you any clear answer that makes you think too much. I'm not a Konoha ninja, I'm not even a Konoha villager, I'm in a suspicious place, and I can't say anything about your family affairs, but ......"
After a pause, Gu Shanbushui continued:
"Your father did have some arrangements during his lifetime, and may have foreseen a bad ending. As you can see, the Uchiha family in Konoha Village has been shattered, but even if it is a residue, there is always something left, and the only heir is you......"
The desperate Uchiha Fugaku sold almost everything the family could sell, and the entire clan land, including the outbuildings, was burned clean. Those broken altars and jars and ruins are certainly not valuable, but the land is still there, and it has naturally become the bag of ancient cedar water.
After selling their homes for a good price, one-third of them became the "settling-in allowance" for the escaped tribesmen who were sent out of the village for them to start over in a foreign land. Most of the rest bought war supplies and armed all the combat members, and in order to keep their actions hidden, it was naturally the Furusugi family to cover for the Uchiha family.
In the end, the little thing left was invested in a seemingly neutral but in fact controlled by Gushan Bushui's money bank, which was similar to a trust fund to help the people in the village who might survive.
To put it bluntly, most of the wealth that Uchiha Fugaku collected by smashing pots and selling iron has flowed back to the Furusugi family in various ways.
Uchiha Fugaku is not for nothing, he can fight with the dark department of Konoha Village and the "root" organization with an absolute disadvantage, and it is indispensable for the "uneven" ancient Sugi Bushui to secretly help.
Of course, what Furusugi Busui can tell Uchiha Sasuke is the last guarantee to serve the survivors, and there is no need to know more of the inside story.
"Trust?"
The child, who obviously didn't know what this kind of financial product that had not been around for a long time, showed a puzzled expression.
Gu Shanbushui didn't let him wait long, and replied directly:
That is, before his death, your father trusted that some neutral institution would keep his promise to entrust a large sum of money to someone else to manage on his behalf, provide you with monthly living expenses according to the agreed conditions, and support your reasonable expenses in the course of your spiritual practice. Once you become an official ninja, you have the right to know the conditions for releasing the commission. In addition, please be reminded that the commission has a unilateral termination clause, and if you violate the law, you will lose all control and inheritance rights, and the basic living expenses will be lost. ”
"Why didn't my father just leave it to me and let someone else take care of it?"
Formerly the little master of the Uchiha family, he stretched out his hands for clothes and opened his mouth for food, and he never overthought about money, these days, living in a civilian apartment, he had no money, and it was not very convenient to have food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it was not very convenient to have such a fortune, wouldn't it be better to hold it in his own hands?
"With your current situation, I'm afraid you can't hold it steadily."
Gu Shanbu Shui reminded with a smile,
"Don't underestimate the cruelty of the adult world, not everyone will look at you differently because you are a child. You should rejoice that the Uchiha land was burned to the ground, and if there is anything good left, I don't know what those pretenders will do. ”
Whispering terrible words, so that the encounter with a big change, Uchiha Sasuke, who has learned to think about his own situation, also realizes that it is not a good thing to have a huge family wealth now. The child who is still struggling for the qualification of the chief student in the ninja school must have a force to escort him, otherwise, he may not live to adulthood, and he will be killed before he has time to take revenge.
"I ...... I understand, I'm going to trouble Uncle in the future. ”
The troublesome young family governor waved his hand slightly and said:
"I don't necessarily have time to stay in Konoha Village, if there is any problem in the future, go to Togakure Sunrise Sensei, and he can deal with the general trouble."
After a few more gossip, Furusugi sent Uchiha Sasuke to go to the hot springs with the rest of his classmates.
After consulting his father, he invited his acquaintances to take a sauna, soak in the hot springs, and have a big meal on a snowy day, which is indeed the ultimate enjoyment.
Especially at the top luxury hotel in the ninja world, most of the children do have the idea of coming to see the world.
Ordinary people, it is rare to have such a luxurious enjoyment several times in a lifetime, especially for the children of Konoha villagers who have experienced the baptism of fire and are still in the afterglow of chaos, yearning for a novel life can indeed erase many hesitations.
Gu Shanbu Shui is preparing for the aftermath.
Although the Uchiha clan land is a little remote, the area is not small at all, with the future development, Konoha Village is bound to become more and more prosperous, and the once beautiful corner will sooner or later become a golden location with every inch of land.
How to make use of this treasure of feng shui, Gu Shanbu Shui also thought for a long time, consulted many experts in this area, and finally decided to make this a square area similar to a comprehensive business and life center, rather than a luxury villa area that maximizes profits.
Although the latter can allow the Gushan family to get the most benefits, but the influence is very limited, and those who can really afford the villa are not easy to be co-opted, and the effect of investing in it is not good, it is better to build a comprehensive service center with a more life atmosphere, so that more ordinary residents can participate in it, and exert influence on Konoha Village to the greatest extent.
"Money is secondary, the key is to win people's hearts, and it would be better if we could attract some talents to take refuge."
If it were outside, Gu Shanbu Shui would definitely not do this, a big man like the Gu Shan family is not suitable for facing the common people, and there will be a suspicion of competing with the people for profit, and making too much money in these fields will have a very serious negative effect. There are many real profiteering industries, and there is no need to stare at the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the general public.
Selling chakra metal, munitions, port shipping, etc., are all good choices.
It's different in Konoha Village, what you want is to hold the key lifelines in your hands, let the Gusugi clan hide behind the scenes, and subtly influence people's hearts.
……
Before returning home, Furusugi Busui went to see the street that had been built and temporarily named "Ginza", and the Uchiha family wall that was originally isolated from the inside and outside was not completely demolished, but after repair, several well-developed gates were opened, which were connected to the main road inside.
Judging from the architecture that has begun to take shape, it is still quite different from the mainstream wooden houses in Konoha Village.
The main feature is that the commercial department store is obviously a lot taller, the scattered shops on the street, the spacious streets and squares, and it is obvious that you are going to the city that never sleeps.
Not far away, the antique and charming honest house is actually quite good.
In short, it is a place where many characteristics are intertwined, and the rapidly changing social reality is revealed.
Older people may not be used to it, but young people like the feeling of chasing trends and are quick to get in touch with new things.
After discovering no problems, Gu Shanbu Shui took the incense burn, and under the heavy protection of a group of capable guards, he returned to the cause with great fanfare.
In Konoha Village, the "root" organization base, after receiving the report from his subordinates, Shimura Danzo casually put down the paperwork in his hand.
"That's all?"
Originally, he thought that Gu Shanbushui, who took the initiative, would use the money in his hand to make Konoha Village accept more harsh conditions, but now it seems that the cooperation between the two sides is really very conscientious.
These natives of Konoha Village probably don't think that the so-called economic invasion and cultural invasion will be a big problem.
As long as you grasp the force and occupy the initiative, a little arrears will be paid off sooner or later, and it is not a usury, and the interest on the loan itself is extremely low, and even a part of the share is still held by the forces in Konoha Village.
As for buying a piece of land and demolishing and building on it, what is the problem?
Which ninja in the village is not living a small life behind closed doors?
Like the Hyuga family, a corrupt family that doesn't even care much about the Hokage's orders can tolerate it, and Gu Shanbushui's move is really not worth mentioning.
Taking force as the foundation of one's life will naturally elevate the role of force to an incomparable degree.
In fact, it is true, such as Nagato, Madara Uchiha, and Kaguya Otsuki, after gaining the power to dominate the world, they don't care about other people's opinions at all, and they are dedicated to implementing their own will.
Shimura didn't realize that the power he possessed might not be so convincing, and ordinary villagers might not be able to figure out who was right and who was wrong.
Elk are prey to tigers, lions, and grizzly bears. Who is strong and who is weak, the elk does not know and does not care, anyway, just listen to the words of the meat eater.
Today's Shimura Tunzo has no leisure to take care of these things for the time being, and the affairs on the surface are naturally handled by the incumbent Hokage Sarutobi Sun Slash.
While practicing the forbidden art and immortal reincarnation, you can find a suitable transitional soul container.
After studying the practice notes left by Orochimaru, Shimura Danzou realized that why no one practiced this gate forbidden technique before, the real danger was to kill the soul of the original owner, and when the magpie's nest dove was occupied, there was a greater risk of being counterattacked.
After all, the recipient is a "home battle", and as an intruder, casting the forbidden spell and not being reincarnated is actually an adventure. The more tenacious, strong-spirited, and mentally active a ninja is, the easier it is to resist the invasion of foreign spirits.
Because I didn't have a spiritual obsession like Yagi no Shu, it was too late to start practicing now, so I had to find a guy with well-developed limbs and a simple mind to be the first victim.
In this way, rising stars such as Kakashi Hachiki and Maitkai will be excluded, and even worse ones such as Mizuki and Yin Ruka are not very attractive.
After thinking about it, Shimura Danzo, who couldn't help but hit the idea of the "heavy punishment room", suddenly remembered two familiar big guys.
"The two brothers of the wind god and thunder god, isn't that it?"
Shimura Danzo, who was shining in front of him, suddenly thought about the feasibility of it.
Soon, the two brothers, who had been serving their sentences for a long time and still refused to obey the rules, were transferred to the "root" organization by Shimura Tuanzang in the name of making meritorious contributions.
Something like this stubborn, barely necessary to save, after being thrown into a heavy prison cell, few escaped, and almost no one cared about it except for regular patrols.
Behind the iron bar, seeing two big men who didn't care about anything other than eating and sleeping, Shimura Danzo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but also felt heartfelt sadness.
The dignified "darkness of the ninja world", pinning his fate on this kind of goods, is really uncomfortable.
But now, there is not so much time for hesitation.
After coaxing the two brothers, they were stunned with a secret medicine, and the god of wind as the elder brother was put on the test bench.
Holding down the forehead of the wind god with the only remaining hand, he encouraged the chakra and spiritual power of his whole body, and in a desperate gamble, he poured into the other party's mind.
After a small half a day, the henchman who was waiting outside pushed open the door of the laboratory, stepped into the temple, and saw the body of Shimura Danzo lying on the ground and the wind god who was motionless looking at the ceiling with his eyes open.
"Tuanzang...... My lord? ”
Wind God Mu Ne's eyes moved slightly with the cry, the corners of his mouth squirmed, and he instructed in a trembling voice:
"It's me."
The subordinates helped the big Fengshen up, loaded him into a wheelchair, and carried out the inspection according to the preset procedure.
The forbidden art of immortal reincarnation should have been barely successful, but the fusion was not smooth, except for being able to say a little short words, and I could move my fingers.
"I don't know how many days it will take to regain the minimum mobility, I hope no one will visit these days."
Terai sighed from the bottom of his heart, fortunately, Shimura Danzou had declined all visits in the name of recuperation behind closed doors, and no one had bothered him for a long time.
