Chapter 226: Contrast
This year's Inaba Port is a little more lively than usual.
The Third Shinobi War has been over for many years, and the major powers are gradually recovering. Since the incident in which Yunyin Village coveted the power of the Limit Limit and abducted Hinata, Hinata Hinata has calmed down the disputes between the parties at the cost of suicide. The aura of the battle also gradually dissipated as the Konoha Village and Yunyin Village calmed down.
The armament is gradually slackened, several major ninja villages are silently licking their wounds, the scale of the formal ninja is decreasing again and again, and the large-scale wars are entrusted to the wandering ninja groups, and the proxy wars are fought happily.
There were no big wars, and small wars came and went, and the economy of the Fire Nation ushered in several years of rapid growth. Furusugi Busui officially withdrew from the Konoha Village Ninja School and returned to the family power, just in time to catch a ride on the momentum of the rainbow, coupled with the opportunity to come up with a little "new invention", which improved some production efficiency and made Inaba Port even more prosperous.
This supreme point, which once dominated the fate of most of the ninja continent, seems to be about to usher in a magnificent peak after a few hundred years.
The Inaba School, which has not been open for a long time, has also invited some parents of students to observe the children's achievements after the final exams at the end of the year.
The general form is similar to the teacher holding a temple fair or festival with the students, so that the outstanding students can show their excellent side to the parents who do not have much knowledge, and strengthen their confidence in sending their children to school.
In the ninja world where there is a lack of "everything is inferior, only the reading is high", most of the bottom are illiterate, and they have no real sense of the truth of "knowledge changes fate", and having more children is just for one more cheap labor, and it is definitely not to fight the slim genetic mutation, and the golden phoenix flies out of the chicken nest to change the possibility of changing the fate of the family.
In order to keep the Inaba School going, Furusugibu took great pains to continue to subsidize the first batch of children until they graduated, effectively improved their social status, and changed the general public's perception of this kind of universal school.
"Until now, most parents send their children over, just to mix a few free meals, save a little money at home, what scholarships, the career recommended by the Gushan family, high-paying positions, they don't dare to expect ......"
Looking at the shallow "mud legs" who came and went like a circus and pointed, Gu Shanbushui couldn't help but sigh.
The history of the ninja world for hundreds of years has taught these low-level people to recognize the reality and not to expect to cross the barriers of class. There are really not so many stories of "Phoenix Man" or "Cinderella" that make the general public obscene. Even in fantasy, the miserable protagonist at the beginning will be added with noble bloodline at the end, and the proper "revenge of the fallen prince", rather than some "prince will have a kind of Xiangning", the former routine is deep and widely acclaimed, and the latter is considered to be detached from reality and laughable and generous.
While eating fried skewers, Mitarai Red Bean, who was hanging out with the ancient sugi water, liked this kind of excitement without rules and order, and as the leader of the volunteer teacher this time, and the consultant of the student festival, this smug female ninja was still very satisfied.
"It's precisely because of this contrast that it looks interesting, and it's too boring to look the same. We often encounter this kind of in Konoha Village, do you remember the cold-faced man Morino Yin Bixi, when he first entered the ninja school, he was as naΓ―ve as a little chicken, and now he is also the elite of the torture department? β
This person is a student of the same level as Gu Shanbushui, and of course he will not be a stranger. Morino Yin Biki is not an indigenous born in Konoha Village, but a farmer from a vassal country, after layers of selection, through five levels of six generals, he was reluctantly accepted by the Konoha Village Ninja School, and after more than ten years of hard work, he grew into the leader of Konoha Village.
There are not many such people in Konoha Village, but there are quite a few, and there are always a few such "naturalized ninjas" emerging every year.
Inaba Academy was founded, and there is still a long way to go if it wants to compete with the Konoha Village Ninja School.
"It's not ninjas cultivated here, but compound talents that can be used, and combat effectiveness is only part of the assessment...... A small part, the elimination rate of the Konoha Village Ninja School is too high, and the promotion ratio of one in ten non-wartime is not worth my effort at all. β
It is enough for Konoha Village to select the best ninjas, and Gu Sugi Bushui is to promote a large number of "tool people" to fill a large number of positions in the Fire Country, and to "craftsmen" rather than "supermen", this is the original intention of Gu Sugi Bushui to establish the civilian school.
Of course, some of them are indeed very good, and the young governor of Gusugi will not be stingy to pave a broad road for them, and going to the Konoha Village Ninja School as an exchange student is only part of the choice, and in the future, secondary and higher education will be established on top of enlightenment education.
Primary schools are only literacy, secondary education and specialized education cultivate talents for society, and higher education selects real elites to replenish fresh blood to the top of the Fire Country.
"It's really hard to talk to the young governor."
Mitarai Red Bean casually threw the bamboo stick in his hand into the trash can on the side of the road, wiped the corners of his mouth and said,
"It's really comforting to talk nonsense, but once there is any calculation, it will be rambling and rambling, making people feel that they can't talk about it."
"So what do you have to talk to me about?"
Gu Shanbushui shrugged his shoulders and replied disappreciatively,
"Speaking of which, you and I hardly spend time alone, have we talked so eloquently?"
In terms of friendship, the two really have nothing to say, the former Mitarai Red Bean is a student of Orochimaru, the root is Miao Hong, and the future is great, Gu Shanbu Shui is just a noble child with a bit of an embarrassing identity, after he and Xi Rihong got acquainted, he only gossiped with Gu Shanbu Shui as a girlfriend and friend.
"If you were born in Konoha Village, and not the young master of the Gusugi family, I think you might get along with you, and at first glance you don't look like a serious honest person, and I'...... What I hate the most is Asma's half-ruffian and Kakashi's bitter and hateful staleness. β
"I don't usually see that you have such a big opinion about the two of them."
"Having an opinion doesn't mean I have to show it, and it doesn't prevent me from having business dealings with them."
Gu Shanbushui quietly glanced at the female ninja who was obviously not drinking much, but was a little drunk, frowned slightly, and did not echo the other party's words.
At this time, Mitarai Azuki should have been sealed with some memories of Orochimaru, the Land of the Sea, and the Curse of Heaven, but even if she can't remember it, some of the instincts rooted in her subconscious will still unconsciously affect her actions.
Seals are not omnipotent, and when the right time comes, or when they are stimulated, they will surge out.
"Why don't you say it? Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to talk about it in a shallow way? β
The female ninja sneered a few times and smashed her mouth,
"It's because you're not a Konoha ninja that I can say a few more words, there are too many people who follow the rules in our Konoha Village, and there are few that can really bring surprises. The noisy Uchiha are gone, and although Konoha Village is peaceful, it also has a sense of lifelessness......"
It seems that Orochimaru chose Mitarai Red Bean as a disciple, and he really didn't shoot casually, and there was a deep crazy temperament hidden in this person.
I don't know if it's inspired by the spell of the sky.,In short.,It doesn't seem to be a good stubble.γ
Seeing that Gu Shanbu Shui was still silent, Mitarai Red Bean only slightly restrained and said with a slightly wild smile:
"I don't say it, you should have guessed it, the old man of the third generation admires the exchange students you sent. I have to say that the Gushan family has always been inconspicuous, and it was a surprise to make a move, and Xianglian's outstandingness can also be said to be a family history, and the cultivation is effective. Of course, if he doesn't die halfway......"
If it was wartime, Bai's talent would have been graduated early. What's even more terrifying is that it has only been more than a year since he accepted the funding of the Gushan family and started his enlightenment education.
Although it has been delayed for a few years, it is not too late now, and it is not difficult to catch up.
Bai's experience is not a secret, Gu Shanbushui made some compensation, but he didn't deliberately hide it. A refugee from the Border Islands of the Land of Water, his mother deliberately stayed away from others in order to cover up the Blood Inheritance Limit Ice Escape, and until he was sent to the Gusugi family's immigration ship, he rarely had contact with outsiders, let alone received any decent teaching.
It's such a lonely child who compares the young people carefully cultivated in Konoha Village.
"I don't rule out him from continuing to stay in Konoha Village, it doesn't hurt to become an official ninja, the key is, what are you ready to pay in Konoha Village? This is not a matter of one person, but how to arrange more exchange students in the future in the future, and it is necessary to agree on a norm, not to make a special ...... for a certain person."
Bai, this child, Gu Shanbu Shui is at ease, strength is on the one hand, the key is that he is very emotional, and it is not a big deal for him to be wooed by Konoha Village in the future, as long as the Gu Shan family does not lose him, this kindness will be remembered for a lifetime.
What's more, his parents are still "working" under the Gushan family, how to say, Gushan Bushui is also the benefactor who freed their family from the sea of suffering.
Knowing the grace of the retribution, he will not become an enemy, and he can still be used by the ancient cedar water, and the rest is not important, even if he has the spare strength to contribute to Konoha Village, so what? I can't say that the fate of Konoha Village in the future is in the hands of Gu Shanbu Shui, so it is really impossible to take the opportunity to arrange a few reliable chess pieces.
Of course, you can plan for it in this way, but you can't negotiate in this way, and the benefits you should want are not less than that. Since Konoha Village is sure that Shiro will be on the side of Konoha Village, let's compare whether the Fire Country is bigger or Konoha Village is bigger.
Ape Fei Asma can claim to be a daimyo guardian ninja, and he has a dual identity, which may be more in line with expectations.
"There's one thing you Konoha ninjas may not know. The heir of the Gusugi family,There have been problems for three generations in a row.,My mother Princess Liuli succeeded to the throne.,It's the result of a compromise between all parties.,Although I didn't encounter a dispute over inheritance.,But,Didn't complete the task of marriage according to some people's expectations.,And I have endured a lot of criticism.γ When Xianglin grows up, if he is expected to inherit the family business, he will have to consider the problem of recruitment. Originally, it was a trouble to choose a son-in-law, and Xiang Lian still had a ninja status, if he didn't have a capable helper, he might not be able to sit in the position of the governor. So ......"
"You mean, Bai is the son-in-law you chose?"
"It's an alternative, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? This child has an innocent background, without any troubles, a docile and pure temperament, a talented and intelligent person, and a very good way to deal with people. β
The above rhetoric, Gu Shanbushui has also thought it through, the so-called alternative to son-in-law, of course, is just running the train with his mouth full, it sounds like that, but more than ten years later, who can say for sure?
Maybe Xianglian doesn't like Bai this kind of gentle and elegant, but falls in love with Inuzuka Ya, as his father's ancient Shanbu Shui, does he really want to beat the mandarin duck?
Even, it must be that Xiang Lian inherited the power of the Gushan family? Maybe she's addicted to being a ninja and doesn't want to do it, so she has to let Hiiragi take the lead!
It's just that when these words came out of Gu Shanbu's mouth, the weight was different.
If in the future, if the Optimus Pillar of Konoha Village leaves everything behind and becomes the son-in-law of the Gushan family, will Konoha Village be empty?
"I knew that this Rausch's task would not be so simple. The twists and turns of your aristocratic families are really too difficult to handle. β
Mitarai Azuki couldn't help but droop in frustration.
"The outcome of this matter does not depend on the person Bai, but on the positioning relationship between Konoha Village and our Gusugi family. The key is how deep the cooperation is, and whether there are rules and regulations for the flow of talent between the Konoha ninjas and the daimyo and the Furusugi family. β
For a long time, Gu Shanbu Shui has been salivating over the educational achievements of Konoha Village, and has tried all kinds of ways to dig the foot of the wall, but the effect is not very good, and Inaba School is already the most successful one.
γ
The civilian education in the Fire Nation is really poor, and if you want to promote a group of cronies, you can't find a few decent crooked melons and cracked dates.
"I'll reply to the third generation and ask him to decide."
Mitarai Red Bean gave up face-to-face persuasion, this is really not a matter that a small messenger can make an idea, and Gu Shanbushui did not scare her, but concluded very plainly:
"After the year, I will go to Konoha Village, and when the time comes, I will visit the three generations to talk in detail."
"Let's hope it goes well."
When the business came to an end, Mitarai Red Bean put it aside and calmly changed the topic,
"Did Red contact you at any of these times? I feel like she's changed a lot lately......"
"How?"
"You may not know that in Konoha Village, the relationship between Red and Asma has been 'normalized'."
In the past, because of avoiding suspicion and fearing that Gu Shanbu Water would misunderstand, Sunset Red and Ape Fei Asma have always maintained a relatively distant distance, but now they seem to be much closer, similar to the contacts of ordinary acquaintances.
probably understands that such a small action really does not affect Gu Shanbushui's perception of her, and there is no need to deliberately alienate some people.
"I didn't like it very much, but I couldn't let it go, probably this is the bad fate between friends. I knew back then that you wouldn't look down on ninjas like other noble kids, but you would never betray your own interests for the sake of red. β
"Maybe......"
To put it bluntly, it's still a question that is not worth it, who doesn't like young and beautiful girls? Missing a big event for the sake of being greedy for pleasure is not the style of Gu Shanbushui.
"I've always been curious, who do you think is the most attractive among the girls in the same class? It's okay with peers too......"
"Mute, I think it's good."
"Oh? It's big news, I've got to tell the ......."
