June 20 is Xiang Li's birthday, and in this season of enthusiasm, Xiang Lin is about to cross the threshold of eight years old.

At this age, girls already have a more obvious gender difference, and some secrets will be shared with girls of the same age and discussed with their mothers, but it is very unlikely that they will be discussed with their fathers and grandfathers.

This is probably a common problem that fathers with daughters in the world will encounter.

After being a strict father for less than three years, his daughter is about to grow up, which is really a little unprepared.

"It's okay, I still have Hiiragi, Kagami and Tsukasa."

Gu Sugi Masakoto doted on his second granddaughter, who was contemplating and eating, and complained sourly in his heart,

"If there is any problem now, Xianglian will not write to me secretly."

"Huh? You've had a secret affair with her......"

Furusugi Masakoto teased angrily,

"Why haven't I seen you treat me like this before, always standing aside with my mother and sanctioning my maverick?"

"You know that's not appropriate. You are an only child, how can it be the same? I can't object to your mother's ......"

"Okay. I kind of understood that there is a reason why grandparents like the youngest children, and when the grandchildren grow up, they are no longer dependent, so they have to 'empathize with the younger children'. ”

Gu Shanbushui really didn't expect that the old father would have such a deep "daughter slave" plot, I am afraid that he could not give birth to a girl, and only Gu Shanbushui had such a son.

"Obviously, there is a big celebration at home, and I have to spend it with my classmates on my birthday. Isn't it so disappointing that you don't worry? ”

"It's not that I won't come back, I'll still be with my family at night."

Gu Shanbu Shui casually admonished.

Because the autumn leaves didn't come in time, the interest of Xianglin was not very high, so they would gather with friends during the day.

In terms of personal friendship and private affairs, Xianglian also began to have her own ideas. Many times, my father and grandfather couldn't get my hands dirty.

The two of them gently shook the pu fan and fanned the three little guys.

The summer heat is getting thicker and thicker, and fine beads of sweat begin to appear on the little daughter in thin clothes.

Not only to cool them down, but also to worry about mosquito bites. Don't think that everything will be fine before it gets dark, earlier, Gu Shanbu Shui personally sprayed the potion, killed the ticks, cleaned up the water stains, and installed screen doors and windows, just to let the three daughters sleep peacefully.

Fortunately, Kagami and Tsukasa, who are a little weak, have been taken care of well recently, and there is no phenomenon of adaptation to the soil and water because he came to Konoha Village inland from the coastal island of Siqi.

In the end, they inherited the bloodline of the Vortex clan, even if they were congenitally insufficient, the gains brought by the immortal body could make them immune to many diseases.

Mei Zizi drank up the special milk, Xiao Hiiragi raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't find the big sister Xianglian, smashing his mouth for some reason, staggering over, on all fours, crawling in the direction of Kagami and Division, staring at each other with big eyes, and humming a few words from time to time, and I didn't know what I was communicating.

"Hiiragi is a child with a strong desire to control.,Curiosity is also heavy.,I'm afraid I'm going to be much more naughty than Xiang Li."

Gu Shanbushui smiled and watched the three sisters "interact" and commented softly.

To some extent, Hiiragi is a "winner" who has grown up by plundering some of Kagami and Division's qualifications, and his potential is even better than that of Xianglin.

In fact, to put it mildly, Gu Shanbushui thinks that the current Xianglian is much more powerful and has better qualifications than the weak little girl who was wandering around on the original timeline.

"I'm wondering if the bloodline of the Gushan family also has some hidden and inconspicuous characteristics."

"How?"

The old father is also more curious about this problem, in history, it is not that there are no Gushan people who are committed to improving their personal strength, but they have hardly gone as far and so deep as Gushan Bushui.

"Zhongzheng is peaceful, and the four are the distinctive characteristics of the Gushan people. For more than 1,000 years, there have been almost no serious genetic diseases in our race, and no matter which blood is mixed in, there will be no conflict. ”

Of course, this "no conflict" is not the degree to which there are no sequelae when the fusion of the two blood limits is fused, but that the bad traits tend to be hidden, and the good traits are more likely to appear.

If you have to give an evaluation, it is the adaptive "Virtuous Inner Help" bloodline, which may not have any powerful abilities in its own, but it can give wings to another kind of bloodline limit.

"Is there such a thing?"

Masakoto Furusugi slapped aside the fat hand of the little Hiiragi who was naughtily grabbing his beard, rubbing his chin with his fingers dotingly, and the sensitive place was "attacked", and the little guy also squinted his eyes slightly comfortably, lying on his grandfather's thigh to enjoy the coolness.

"Over the years, the Gushan clan has almost never produced a particularly stupid guy, whether it is IQ or physical fitness, it is far above the average level. It's just that there are very few characters who are so amazing that they are famous in history, so they are not very conspicuous. Essentially, we are a family of geniuses comparable to the Uchiha and the Thousand Hands. Top talents can't compare, and the average quality is actually slightly advantageous. ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"If you say that......"

Masakoto Furusugi nodded.

Indeed, the ancestors of the ancient cedar and the predecessors of the daimyo have been mavericks, and there are many people who do things absurdly, but there are almost no people who are really evaluated as dull, which is very scary.

You must know that even the Uchiha clan, which is very famous, only accounts for one-tenth of the clansmen who have embarked on the path of ninja when they open the writing wheel and become a ninja.

"The lower limit of the Gushan family master is indeed very high."

Of course, not everyone is more virtuous, and there are fluctuations in ability.

"But ......"

Gu Shanbu Shui said very calmly,

"There is still something to be gained from counting the deeds of the people of the past generations. For example, positive temperaments such as kindness, bravery, and perseverance seem to boost the strength of the Gushan clan, and the more they fit, the more there is an inexplicable 'destiny' of the Gu Shan. ”

The chakra reincarnation of Asura and Indra is the tide maker of the past generations, and Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki are the children of destiny who determine the direction of the world.

However, until the gears of fate are turned by the "key players" who emerge to push the gears of fate, the world will still be in motion, and some latent forces will still be at work.

To a certain extent, the daimyo and the Furusugi clan do have a sense of "being ordered by the heavens", and they are born with a certain destiny, and as long as they follow the trend, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and they are invincible.

It's just that this kind of "fate curling" is not as effective as Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki.

"What you said has been investigated by several imperial officials, but there are no decisive findings. Just as we know that every few years, there will be one or two mass suicides on the East Coast where a large number of whales wash up on the beach and run aground and die, and it is about to become a world phenomenon, but no one knows why this happens. ”

Of course, it can be explained that evil does not prevail over righteousness, there is much help for the righteous, there is little help for the unjust, and those who win the hearts of the people win the hearts of the people win the world, but this also cannot make Gu Shanbushui feel at ease.

"The world is not upright, it is not good, it is ugly in many places, but it is spiritual, and it encourages all good qualities, including integrity, kindness, bravery, and perseverance. In other words, love and peace really have their own endogenous power. I can't be sure if this is given by the world or if it is the collective will of the primates of all things, the common aspirations of humanity. In short, good deeds are rewarded, and it is really of practical significance, especially for our Gushan clan. ”

The descendants of "Momotaro" seem to have been born with the authority to share part of the fate of the Gugu, as long as they follow the path of the ancient cedar recorded in the genealogy and family rules, they will be blessed with a layer of gain aura.

Usually this benefit is not very obvious, but over time, the benefit to the clansmen is extremely considerable.

In the past, almost none of the core people of the ancient cedar had the intention of taking the road of "great power to themselves", but as the ancient cedar water became stronger and stronger, and even controlled the natural spirit of the sea owner to pretend to be the "god of the river", they could realize that a part of the natural energy was cheering for the revival of some ancient power.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of benefit in the dark will at most allow the people of the Gushan tribe to enjoy prosperity and wealth, but for Gu Shanbu Shui and Xiang Lian and others, it is different.

This is evident in the energetic Hiiragi, as a parasitic fetus, Kagami and Si can survive in an environment of nine deaths and one life, and it is not something that ordinary bloodlines can do if they change their lives for them.

"Except for the fact that I didn't become a Konoha ninja, since I was a child, my luck has always been very good, everything is relatively smooth, and there are very few hurdles that can't be overcome, even if there are difficulties, I will survive in a desperate situation, and I will survive without danger."

If he hadn't known that this era belonged to Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki, Furusugi Busui would have wondered if he had usurped the Mandate of Heaven and become a key figure in determining the future of the world.

Even if it is the matter of the cousin of discipline, if you look at it from another angle, it is also a death to survive. According to his arrangement, it is absolutely impossible to succeed, and it is even very likely that the family will be ruined. However, after being refrigerated for so many years, he has become much more mature, and he has also met the junior of Gu Shanbushui, looking at the problem from another level, is there any hope that the curve will achieve the ideal?

"Do you want to say that our family is the embodiment of justice, as long as it is carried by heaven and the way of heaven, you can enjoy peace in peace?"

Furusugi sneered,

"You can feel that way, but don't expect too much."

"I know that I don't put my hopes in the vague face of fate. But just ask for peace of mind and a clear conscience. Senju lost the first generation of the Hokage, and he collapsed, the Uchiha paid too much attention to the rewriting wheel eye, and almost wiped out the clan, and Hinata became a slave who was bound by the white eye. Not to mention that it is just the favor of fate, even if it is a child of fate, I have to consider whether to listen to it. ”

Pride is like ancient cedar water, will use all favorable conditions to achieve their goals, but will never become a tool driven by current events.

……

At the same time, the second test of the middle ninja exam has lasted for a day and a half, and in two or three days, the winner of the third test will be decided.

"It doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic."

Yamanaka Ino poked Kaori's waist with his elbow and asked with a smile,

"It's your birthday, you should be happy."

"Mother's liner was delayed due to strong winds, so I may not be able to catch up today, which is a pity."

"Your father and grandfather aren't here, they'll always arrange it, right?"

"Hmm."

Xiang Lian lazily held her chin and responded a little suddenly,

"There are a lot of preparations, but my mother is not here, and I can't go on."

At last year's birthday banquet, Xiang Lian invited many classmates to gather together, which was relatively lively, but this year's situation is special, the preparation time is limited, there is no grand banquet, but the family celebrates in private.

In fact, it's no wonder that Momiji lost his words, there are some things that can't be undone by manpower. Because of the late entry, although Momiji has also carried out some basic ninjutsu training, it is far worse than the official ninja, and he cannot ignore the influence of harsh natural conditions.

On the days when the typhoon passed, not to mention ordinary people, even ninjas did not dare to pass through the sea with huge waves.

"Well, there are a lot of unsatisfactory things in life, and you are eight years old, so you have to be considerate of your parents' difficulties."

The elder Kurama Yakumo flicked the embossed work in his hand lightly, and nodded with satisfaction,

"Last time, I saw Naruto Uzumaki eating snacks alone for his birthday, and he didn't even have anyone to celebrate."

"He'......"

Speaking of that blonde ghost, Xiang Lian couldn't cry or laugh,

"Said to prepare a great birthday gift for me, and then worship me as a teacher, I don't know how it has been."

The noisy guy actually doesn't have a good relationship with his classmates, so Inuzuka Ya, Nara Shikamaru and Akido Dingji occasionally play together, which can be regarded as the "comrade-in-arms" cultivated by skipping class.

It's still early to leave the dessert house to get the cake, a few girls are talking and laughing to pass the time, the battle in the forest of death has become white-hot, and the ape Fei Asma, who received an application for help, shuttled through the tall dense forest with two middle ninjas, and rescued several candidates who lost their mobility from time to time.

With the exception of two who were seriously injured, nothing was serious.

There are more candidates this year, one hundred and five people who entered the second test, and in the end, no more than ten were retained to advance to the third test, and ninety percent of the candidates were eliminated, and the selection was really strict.

"This year's Konoha candidates, it seems that there are no outstanding characters."

During the interval of the search and rescue, Asma the ape Fei stood in the treetops, lit a cigarette, and spoke casually.

Excellent child,Promoted to the middle ninja in the first two years.,These two years are a year of inactivity.,There are some decent role ninjas.,Very few have specialties.。

Konoha Village is known as the cradle of genius, and it is not every year that a powerful shinobi participates in the middle ninja exam.

The performance of Sand Ninja and Fog Ninja is not very good, but small ninja villages such as Grass Ninja, Rain Ninja and Star Ninja have candidates from time to time.

"Chakra gathering over there, it seems like there will be a large-scale scuffle, go over and take a look......"
