Chapter 198: Overturned
After the mysterious man left, Gu Shanbu Shui pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf ......"
Although the words are ugly, the meaning is indeed relatively accurate.
The cooperation between Furusugi Busui and Uchiha Fugaku is purely a utilization relationship between each taking what it needs. From the very beginning, the young family governor who knew himself and his opponent did not think that he could completely tame these Uchiha "refugees" who escaped by luck.
After being the patriarch for many years, Uchiha Fugaku would not be so naΓ―ve as to pin all his hopes on the fulfillment of his promise or the discovery of his conscience.
On the night of the extermination, the raging fires covered up many things. It is very likely that the dozens of Uchiha people who were scattered and resettled in the country of Inaba and Vortex by the ancient Sugibusui are not all Konoha villagers who have lost their identities.
The Uchiha clan land, which had been burned to ashes, had some of the corpses beneath the ruins. After the count, almost all the people who mysteriously disappeared were sent to the list of the dead, including the dozens of fish under the command of Gu Shanbushui.
But is that really all there is?
It would be stupid to say that on the eve of the rebellion, the Uchiha family was attacked by the high-level of Konoha Village first, and it was still possible to catch them all, and they knew the news in advance and did not arrange a way back.
Since dozens of elites can be sent out through the power of the Gushan family, there can naturally be other collaborators who can run for their lives. Perhaps the ninja world can no longer find a force other than the Gusugi family, the second force that can get away dozens of ninjas at a time and quietly settle down, and there are still some families that hide one or two key people unknowingly.
Even, this group of elite clansmen who were personally handed over to the Furusugi family by Uchiha Fugaku didn't know that there was a more secret plan B.
Otsuki Kaguya, who has always been interested in what happened to the Uchiha family, asked a little strangely:
"You seem to have some preconceptions about the Uchiha people. I don't remember what you had with them......"
It is also predictable that the young people of the Uchiha family, who have initially settled down, refuse to lurk in peace of mind and secretly make some small moves.
The contract signed by Furusugi and Uchiha Fugaku was very strict, and he even used Yin Shinami's self-discipline to bind him and put control in the hands of Furusugi. However, any contract is flawed.
The surname Uchiha has brought some negative comments to Gu Sugi Bushui in the past few months, and the restlessness of this group of people is really engraved in their bones.
"The Uchiha family's method of selecting materials is destined to be a guy who keeps to himself, and he can't play with the wheel eye."
Gu Shanbu Shui explained slowly,
"If you want to talk about the festival, there must be no, and there is even a little friendship between the two sides, but, in their opinion, our Furusugi clan used to be just a slightly fatter worm crawling at the feet of Madara Uchiha. Be polite to me, not really convinced, but forced by the situation, once the situation rises again, you won't take me seriously......"
Meanness and lack of kindness are not enough to describe the ninja with the surname Uchiha who will be active on the stage of the ninja world in the future.
"So how are you going to break the game? Just wait until the necessary changes come before you take action? β
Source change appγ
"I've told you before, right? Today's ninja world has the basis for another ninja war, but the third ninja war was too tragic and lasted too long, and the damage caused was beyond the capacity of the five ninja villages, so the time to 'lick the wound' was longer. β
Once a large country or a large ninja village feels that it has a good chance of winning or has no way to survive except to provoke a war, the time has come to start a ninja war.
"I've thought about whether to push the Fourth Ninja World War to break out in advance, and fight the 'Five Wars' again in ten years, at that time, your layout is almost mature, everyone has their own ability, and they are divided into ......."
"How much do you know?"
The big barrel Mu Huiye's cold eyes were cold, and Ling Ran asked, Gu Shanbu Shui shrugged his shoulders and replied nonchalantly:
"Don't worry, my strength is not the same as yours, but I am not on the opposite side."
Shimura Danzo has seen the eye of reincarnation, and the ancient sugi Bushui has not gone deep into this topic,
"A war that breaks out unexpectedly is so that people can get their hands on it and reap the benefits; Get ready, swing your horses, and there will be no chance for me to fish in troubled waters......"
"Why didn't you do it?"
"The war is brewing, and no one can hide from it, but I don't want to be the one who ignites the powder keg."
"Can't bear it? The five ninja villages fought and declined again, it's good for you, right? β
"A lot of people will die."
Sighing slightly, Gu Shanbu Shui lowered his voice and said,
"If there is only one way left, I will definitely not hesitate, whether it is a demon or a Buddha, I will not care about reputation or anything. It's just ......"
After a pause, the young governor continued to explain:
"There are other options, and it's not just one way to increase your chances."
The price is too heavy, but the gain is not worth the cost of thousands of lives and his own crumbling pity.
The numbers that turned back and forth in Gu Shanbuhu's mind represented countless living people.
"Not necessary, not evil? Although your conscience is not worth a few dollars, you don't want to be sold cheaply, which is really interesting values. β
In the countless years of eternal vision, Otsuki Kaguya has seen too many people, or not people, such as Gu Shanbu Shui, who has not seen a few in thousands of years.
"I just don't want to be forced into a predicament from which I can't extricate myself from the moral trap I have set, but adding a little rule can add a lot of fun to the long 'game' of life."
"A traverser who can live the second life, his speech is atmospheric, and every sentence sounds so moving, and he still can't hide that you are a hypocrite with no bottom line."
"I said that, didn't I?"
After drinking the last sip of tea that had been slightly cool, Gu Shanbu Shui pushed open the door of the house, walked lightly through the long street, came to a relatively remote izakaya, and under the leadership of the waiter, entered a quiet private room, and the female ninja from the land of water, Terumi Ming, had been waiting for a long time.
"Sorry, there's something to take care of......"
"It's me early."
Terumi said nonchalantly.
Indeed, the time agreed between the two had not yet arrived, and it was Zhao Meiming who arrived early to order food and eat by herself, as evidenced by the grill by the fire and the slow cold beer.
"You don't think I'm coming, do you?"
"After all, the young governor's reply is too cold, and the slave family can't judge whether you will give face."
Terumi gently covered her mouth, carefully wiped the greasy corners of her mouth, and responded with a smile,
"In the past two days, I have also invited several ninjas from Konoha Village to come to discuss, most of them have been politely declined, and a few have been invited, and they are only in a popular form.
"No matter what the request, as long as you can convince the Hokage Sandaime Sarutobi Hitobi, the result will definitely not be too bad. It's a pity ......"
As she spoke, Terumi pulled her collar, revealing the spell mark pattern bound by the sealing formation,
"That's it, Orochimaru did it. Since he used to be a Konoha ninja, it is estimated that there will be a way to completely eliminate the wounds here, and as a result, I think too much......"
Laughing self-deprecatingly, the female fog shinobi dried half a glass of wine,
"I originally thought that the Konoha ninja didn't want to help my misty ninja, but then I realized that I was afraid that they couldn't do anything about it, so they refused to interview me in person."
Anyway, no one thinks that Terumi came to Konoha Village to ask for medical expenses.
But if there is really an effective method, it will not be left to the light for so many days.
"Konoha Village can't be counted on, either powerless, or unwilling to spend too much for me. Therefore, I had to try my luck with the young governor. β
"I'm afraid, Konoha Village thinks you can't afford to pay the 'medical bills'......"
"Although Wuyin Village is poor, this cost is still affordable."
"If it's just a trouble that money can solve, you won't have to travel thousands of miles to Konoha Village for help, will you?"
Pointing out the predicament of Zhaomei to the point, Gu Shanbushui lowered his voice and continued:
"This ...... The curse seal is not only a life and death crisis, but also an opportunity to reach a higher level. Who would do it for you for no reason? β
He pointed to the traces of the curse mark on Zhaomei's body and shook his head slightly.
"What price are you willing to pay to heal? Without the 'Three Ninja' level Sealing Master, or the extremely powerful Six Dao Artifact, it is already remarkable that an ordinary ninja can help you suppress it. You should know that most of the ghostly things like curse marks are like maggots on tarsal bones for life, and only death can eliminate them. β
"I see, no wonder Konoha Village, as a 'quasi-ally', doesn't want to help. Not to mention the difficulty of handling, it will involve more trouble. β
Terumi nodded thoughtfully,
"It's me who is too reckless."
Gu Shanbu Shui suggested:
"I think you should go back to the Fog Hidden Village first and discuss it with the four generations of Mizukage. This kind of thing, which affects the whole body, is not just a problem for the Mist Ninja, Konoha Ninja and Orochimaru. β
"But ......"
Terumi smiled bitterly in embarrassment,
"It's almost impossible to suppress."
"I can't guarantee anything."
The curse mark was planted, and it was impossible to say how long it was between the first state and the second state.
Gu Shanbushui didn't even know the type of curse mark on Zhao Meiming's body, and the so-called "right medicine" couldn't be talked about at all.
Also, it is too difficult to help Terumi resolve the spell mark, so it is relatively easy to get her to control and tame the spell mark.
But once this happens, the Fog Hidden Village will add a non-native master who has a double blood inheritance limit and has mastered the immortal chakra.
Why bother?
It's not your own person, so it's not worth spending too much effort on Zhaomei.
Seeing that Gu Shanbu Shui was dead or alive and did not let go, Zhao Meiming gritted her teeth and insisted:
"I'll go back and discuss a safe way with the four generations."
The stronger the erosion of the curse mark, the greater the negative mood swings of Terumi Ming. Even I gradually realized that some subtle changes had occurred in myself.
The gathering, which had no substantive results, ended in a short time, and Terumi set up the way back to Wuyin Village overnight.
β¦β¦
The topic brought about by this year's middle ninja exam gradually subsided, and the ape flying sun, who was the third generation of the Hokage, fell into a cloud of gloom.
Under the support of a group of "financiers", Konoha Village's finances on the verge of collapse have finally improved a little.
With the strength of Konoha Ninja, the success rate of mission entrustment is very high, and the commission for making money can basically cover the principal and interest that should be spent this year.
With the acquiescence of many people, the villagers of Konoha whose homes were burned down frequently took out loans from institutions such as the money bank controlled by the Gusugi family to tide over the difficulties.
Over the past few months, most of the families in Konoha Village have become "customers" of the Gusugi family business.
Even with the high debt ratio, with the strong abilities of the Konoha ninja, it is only a matter of time before the loan is paid off.
Originally, this was a great thing for the Konoha ninja. Using the money of the future to help the poor of the present is not a profound theory, but the means are different, and there is not much difference in essence, which has been the case throughout the ages.
However, Sarutobi gradually discovered something wrong, and he didn't figure it out for a long time, until the end of the middle ninja exam, and the three generations of Hokage realized something.
"Konoha Village is gradually losing its pricing power over ninja abilities."
From the lowest-level D-level quest to the S-pole quest that only the upper shinobi can take, how to rank and determine the amount of commission are all things that Konoha ninjas do.
Now, Sarutobi was surprised to find that the number of D-level and C-level missions and the scale of commissions are rising rapidly, while the number of B-level and above high-level missions is slowly decreasing. In other words, the demand for lower ninja in the ninja world is rising, and the demand for upper ninja is beginning to decline.
If you buy something, you can sell it, which is a two-way dynamic equilibrium system.
The lower ninja that does not emphasize personality and only considers the cost performance is becoming more and more popular, and the originally busy upper ninja gradually "involuted" and began to "sweep" in the B-level task, because the A-level task and the rare S-pole task cannot meet the demand at all.
Ninjas are also human beings, and they also have to support their families.
In the interval between the two ninja wars, the scale of ninjas was passively reduced, which was normal, but the supply and demand relationship between lower ninja, middle ninja and upper ninja had changed dramatically, which made Sarutobi have a bad premonition in his heart, but he didn't know what it was.
In fact, this is the same as Gu Shanbushui's previous life, the muddy water of the entertainment circle, when capital is rampage, standardization, traffic, and face painting are popular, the so-called profession and skills can only be defeated in the face of money.
The strength of the ninja is enough, and it is best to have a set of effective measurement standards, so that the "gold masters" can intuitively understand how much the ninja, a special "labor" group, should be worth, rather than the ninja village having the final say.
The stupid coal bosses were devastated by various directors, screenwriters, actors, writers and other "artists", and only the capitalists found a way to tame the so-called "professionals".
The employment model recommended by Konoha Village is gradually moving towards a buyer market where the price is clearly marked and the "gold owner" flips the brand.
