When the Fog Hidden Village, Yunyin Village, and Konoha Village staged the "Vortex Country Crisis" in the East China Sea, Gu Shanbu Shui had been paying attention to this matter, ostensibly staying out of the matter and not directly involved. Secretly, the people of Vortex Village have been asked to be on guard carefully, so as not to be taken advantage of. If you are attacked because you are careless, although you can be held accountable afterwards and get back to the field, it is difficult for the lost face and lining to stand up in a short period of time.

The country of vortex is much larger than the country of waves, and its strategic location is very similar to the Japanese archipelago in the previous life of the ancient Sugi Bushui, the area and influence are not so large, but the potential cannot be ignored, for the country of fire, the country of thunder and the country of water, they are all unsinkable aircraft carriers that hold key routes, and if they occupy this place, they will have the initiative.

When Konoha Village was too busy to take care of itself, it was destroyed by blitz, and the biggest reason was that the strength of the Uzumaki clan was not good, and the strength of the backers it relied on also declined greatly, and it was impossible to take care of the "little brother" who was lonely overseas, and the secondary factor was that neither Wuyin Village nor Yunyin Village wanted to see the hardcore allies of Konoha Village extend their sphere of influence to such an important sea area.

It's been more than a year since the rebuilding of the Vortex Country was put into practice, and Furusugi Busui thought that Yun Shinobi would cause trouble on the border earlier, such as when the Uchiha family was wiped out and the fire spread to half of Konoha Village, which was a good opportunity. If you don't take advantage of the lack of strength of the Konoha ninja, it is too rare for the cloud ninja who is used to seeing the stitches and getting an inch.

Later, Gu Shanbu Shui learned that it was mainly the Eight-Tailed Pillar Force-Kirabi was too restless and caused some small trouble, so that Yun Ren didn't have much energy to focus on the Vortex Country. When he freed his hands, Konoha Village was already on the right track, and there was no chance to take advantage of it.

As for this sudden incident, according to the news obtained by Gu Shanbushui, it was really not intentional by the grumpy Thunder Shadow, but that Kirabi was banished to the Giant Turtle Island Pass, and by the way, when he practiced with the help of the "True Waterfall", he didn't know what the crappy "rap artist" had done, which made the giant turtle start to be restless at this time.

】

The helpless Yun Ren simply made a mistake and drove the giant turtle all the way south, approaching the country of the vortex.

It's not that Yunyin Village has any special ideas, it's just that it's been peaceful for too long, and when there is nothing to do, I want to find something to do. I don't expect anything to gain, but if the enemy makes a fool, it will make a lot of money.

"I didn't think it before, but now I realize that this ghost place is really a powder keg, just a little bit."

Countries with similar encounters, as well as the country of rain, the country of grass, the country of Taki, and the country of good fields, together with the war, these buffer zones will become a battlefield for ninjas to fight back and forth. Even in peacetime, you don't necessarily get a few breaths.

The border conflict between the country of grass and the country of earth has almost never stopped. Of course, outside of the ninja war, Iwakuin Village generally does not end up directly, but spends money to invite wandering ninjas or renegade organizations to fight proxy wars.

The first brigade of the five major ninja villages is biased, and the small country ninja village also has to deal with it with all its strength to protect itself, once or twice is okay, but after a long time, the small forces that are not very strong have been weakened to the point that they can't look like they, and there is no time to breathe at all. It is already difficult to survive, and the stories of taoguang and obscurity, accumulation of strength, and blockbuster will only appear in the fantasies of literati.

For so many years in the ninja world, there was only one Sanshoyu Hanzo, who almost single-handedly changed the power pattern of the ninja world, and he was known as a "demigod", but he also failed, the so-called "corner overtaking", don't think about it, there is no chance.

The country of the vortex, a pivotal country located at the crossroads of the sea, will not even have the opportunity to maintain its independence, and the only way to survive is to take refuge in a strong neighbor and contribute its own strength in exchange for the protection of the big forces.

If the Gushan family ends up in person, there will definitely be a great chance to pocket the country of the vortex, but that is too eye-catching, as in the previous semi-independent state, the route of marriage and strengthening cooperation is good for everyone.

"Shouldn't I go to the Land of the Vortex and stay with my subjects to tide over the difficulties?"

While coaxing the child, Momiji said to the ancient sugi who was sitting in the gazebo and throwing breadcrumbs to feed the fish,

"Is Yun Ren going to loot the Vortex Country again?"

"What's the difficulty? Don't worry, there's nothing of value in the country of vortex today. No one would be interested in it except the land. ”

"I always feel a sense of urgency that people are afraid of, and everyone is afraid that what happened back then will happen again. After all, the old man who has experienced the disaster of destroying the country has not yet died. ”

"It's a good thing that there are some twists and turns, a country, a nation, if it goes too well, it will fall into a cycle of self-aggrandizement and even destruction. Overcoming fears and difficulties builds self-confidence, and a sense of identity can be strengthened more quickly if there are stories of war and heroes to sing about. Vortex Country...... It is too young to be like a country, most of the existing inhabitants are forced or semi-forced migration, and the so-called native-vortex clan has long lost the spirit of a thousand-year-old family. There...... It is barely a distribution center for losers who were forcibly pinched together by the Gushan family and reported to the group for warmth, and there is still a long way to go before it becomes a normal country. ”

It's really not that Gu Shanbu Shui looks down on the current Vortex Country, if it were so easy to establish a country, the ninja world would have been shattered a long time ago, and there would be no behemoth like the Five Great Powers at all.

To put it bluntly, the current Vortex Country is just a toy that is casually held in the hands of the ancient Shanbu sailors, and once the support is withdrawn, it will immediately disappear. According to the hierarchy of the countries in the previous life, the current country of the vortex is not even a colony or protectorate, but at most a trade transit point and a forward base. If you ask the current residents of the Vortex Country, how many of them are willing to settle there and become native subjects of the Vortex Country in their descendants, it is estimated that the data will be very unsightly.

Isn't it good to be a person from the Land of Fire, you must go to the country of vortex, endure the threat of the country of thunder and the country of water, and worry that Yun Ninja and Fog Ninja will come to the door all day long?

After the two discussed for a while, Momiji couldn't help but sigh:

"Although I have long understood that my name as a hero of the restoration of the country is all false. But if you really sit in this position, you also want to do what you can for the people, and the result is ...... That's it. ”

Hearing this, Gu Shanbu Shui responded with a smile:

"Unless it is so strong that it does not lie in the power of the collective, it is necessary to coerce the world with its own strength, and make rules that people dare not obey. Truth be told, even God can't do it. Shrines and temples, as well as shrine maidens, priests, monks, etc., are all meant to show the will of the gods, and the order, system, and force and culture that maintain it are indispensable. If I hadn't been lucky enough to be born in the Gushan family, I wouldn't have been stronger than you. However, when you say 'what you can', you don't mean that there is nothing to do. ”

After a pause, under the joyful gaze of Momiji, Furusugi Bushui continued to explain:

"As the controller of one party's power, there are two major things to grasp, sacrifice and war, which are the key to establishing 'legitimacy' and preventing the power from falling. The specific implementation strategy lies in two points, 'high up' and 'humble in the dust', the necessary sense of mystery helps to establish authority, don't mingle with your subordinates in everything, too familiar, you will be looked down upon, and even peep into your personality and preferences, and be led by outsiders, and, as a monarch, you must always be aware that you must not lose the support of the largest number and the most humble people, otherwise, you will be ......overpowered by your close subordinates."

The importance of "name" and "instrument", Momiji didn't understand it at all, and he didn't have a foundation to learn and practice, so he rashly became the hero of the Vortex Country, and many times he didn't know what to do.

Momiji, who was listening quietly, thought for a moment and said:

"You mean, I don't want to talk about the specific affairs of the Vortex Country, and just act as the final arbiter?"

Gu Shanbu Shui nodded:

"The more this time, the more you have to calm down and don't end easily. Once you've chosen your direction, you're bound to offend another group of people. This will not do you any good, even if it turns out that you are right, but there is no direct benefit to saying that the 'monarchy' itself is not good, except to receive praise from the wise. You are a wise monarch, and your children and grandchildren may not be. To put it mildly, most of the commoners at the lowest level hope that the monarch will be wise and powerful, love the people like sons, crack down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and promote loyalty and virtue. But in reality, there is no monarch who fully meets their expectations, and even, the more upright and idealistic the monarch, the more detached he is from the grassroots and prone to doing bad things with good intentions. ”

There are countless examples of this kind, whether it is a past life or a recent life, and the more you love to toss, the more you can prove that people who are both vegetable and fun-loving are really self-aware.

"I ...... Seems to understand something. ”

The eyes of the enlightened autumn leaves shimmer slightly,

"I'm actually invincible, and as long as the subjects of the Vortex Kingdom still support me, I'll be as stable as Mount Tai. Therefore, what needs to be done most is not to defend the enemy from outside the country, make great efforts to make the country rich and strengthen the army, but to build bridges and roads, comfort orphans and widows, raise heroes and martyrs, raise young children, and gild me and my descendants with a layer of gold......"

"Understood?"

Gu Shanbushui nodded approvingly,

"What does the Daimyo of the Vortex Country and the leader of the Vortex Village mean to you? The wife of the Gushan family is far more noble than those. For you, it is at most a family business, to gain a good reputation, so that the future generations who will not succeed will sit in the position of a great name, so that they will not be unable to compete for anything......"

To put it bluntly, everything in the country of vortex and the village of the vortex is not important to the ancient sugi Bushui, and to Momiji, it is of some value now and in the near future, but it is not her home, or even her maiden home. It was just a "fiefdom" and property, and the parents took good care of it, and when the time was right, they handed it over to the "loser" to toss.

The birth of red leaves is destined to mean that she doesn't know much in some fields, although she has seen a lot of things by Gu Shanbushui's side, but the gap between watching and doing it herself is still relatively large.

"Some people ...... Opposing you and our daughter is not just because your status is not high and your bloodline is not clear, but the young lady of the Gushan family, she can't be an outsider who doesn't even understand the 'rules of the game' in our circle, otherwise, some conventions and conventions but no 'play' on paper will be hindered. ”

"Hmm."

Momiji smiled with relief,

"The mess in the country of the vortex is not only to elevate my identity, but also to allow me to practice my hands."

"Understood, just let it go. There is a batch of medicinal herbs, rice, flour, grain and oil that are about to pass their expiration date in the middle of the year, and a little cloth is added to help build several enlightenment primary schools, so that they can do charity before the Chinese New Year. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's, do something memorable, and it is best to have a long-term 'landmark' that people remember. Conquering people's hearts is much more important than conquering the enemy. ”

……

Off the coast of the country of vortex, after the curse seal was sealed, Terumi Ming, who had been accustomed to it for a while, returned to the Fog Hidden Village, and returned to the fourth generation of the water shadow wolf, and was sent to the northern border of this water country scattered with islands and reefs.

There are not many inhabited islands in this archipelago, and there are very few remote places that do not communicate with the outside world, except that they know that their location belongs to the land of water, and they know almost nothing about the outside world.

There are tens of thousands of islands large and small in the Land of Water, and it is impossible for the Fog Shinobi to manage all of them, and only establish contact points in a few important places.

When the information of Yun Ninja's arrival arrived at Fog Hidden Village, it was relatively lagging behind, and Zhao Meiming, who came with more than a dozen capable subordinates, thought that he had missed a good time, but the speed of Giant Turtle Island was very slow, and when Fog Ninja arrived, it was still a hundred kilometers away.

"The noisy Yun Ren is so unreliable, so he is sharp-tongued, and he is not very bold when he really fights."

Lin Yuyu, who is getting stronger and stronger and has a more eccentric temperament, said mockingly in a strange tone,

"Are we going to take the initiative?"

"No, now is not the time to provoke the Fourth Ninja War."

Terumi simply refused.

"Is the country of the vortex so important? Anyway, after being idle for so long, it is better to take this opportunity to practice your hands. ”

Such an attitude of not caring about the enemy and their own lives, and treating war as child's play, is indeed the common style of Kiri Shinobi. Even if the wolfberry has been out of position and implemented reforms for many years, the poison of "blood mist" still lingers.

The extermination of the Kaguya clan has indeed shocked many individuals and forces in the Mizukage who do not submit to the authority of the Mizukage, but it will take time to make changes before the situation is completely reversed.

"Go to the country of vortex, I heard that it is now an open free port, and as allies of allies, we should not be resisted."

Without responding to Hayashi's half-joking words, Terumi pointed to the distant sea, where the outline of the distant island could almost be seen.

The border of the Land of Water is here, and beyond this place, it is not the sphere of influence of the Fog Ninja. Although there are no well-known masters in Vortex Village, with the secular power supported by the Gushan family, it is still very powerful.

"It's not good to kill people there, what are you going to do?"

Lin Yuriku had seen the towering towers and the muzzles of the black holes.

The new Thunder Knife Tooth user who has suffered the loss of the naval artillery salvo does not want to resist the bombardment of heavy artillery again.
