Chapter 245: Choice
When the people from Konoha Village arrived at the port, Gu Shanbushui already knew the news. Yes
The others immediately went to the hotel they had booked to arrange to check in, and Kari, Shiraku, Yayoi and the others went home to reunite with their families first, and after saying hello, they left to return with their teammates.
The old name is very happy to see Kaori and wants her to stay at home for one night, but after playing with his three little sisters for a while, he finally decides to stay at the hotel.
"I can't live up to Sasuke and Ya's expectations, and besides, I want to work with them to achieve a good ranking."
Since the day she became sensible, Xiang Lian knew that the "King of Fighting" challenge was organized by her father, so she begged her mother to watch the competition every year, but unfortunately, it was not until this year that she had the opportunity to really experience the matchup, and countless people cheered for her performance.
Konoha ninjas, who almost never participate in individual competitions, all participate in team competitions in teams of three.
The specific reason is actually easy to guess.
The standard ninja squad of several major ninja villages, that is, in a group of three, the "King of Fighting" challenge is also a fancy group group, and it is also inevitable, Konoha ninjas also advocate individual heroism, but they like team spirit more, the so-called will of fire, bonds, and the spirit of Konoha are all the same. Yes
Try to let the more familiar classmates form a team, but also to avoid a large gap in strength, which will lead to problems.
Of course, there is also a big gap in the strength of Inuzuka and Sasuke Uchiha and Kari, if it weren't for the fact that there was no other more suitable person to replace him, it would not be his turn.
After dinner and a rest, Kariu, as a local, invited Sasuke Uchiha and Ya to visit the fun places on the island.
A few years ago, the entertainment industry on the island was lackluster, but now, it is one of the most famous gold caves in the land of fire, and many rich people will not realize that they have little money until they actually experience the various pleasures on the island.
The Inuzuka family is not a civilian ninja clan, the family has a big business and a prosperous family; Sasuke Uchiha was also the son of the leading ninja family in the ninja world two years ago, and it stands to reason that the two have never seen anything.
just followed Xianglian around, and the two really had to sigh.
See you here for the first time. Yes
Rich and powerful, they are also divided into levels, Inuzuka and Uchiha are rich, and it is estimated that it is just a leg hair on the thigh of the Furusugi family.
"The manor here is so beautiful, the people who live in it must be very rich, right?"
Uchiha Sasuke still had an indifferent expression, and he couldn't see any change in mentality, while Inuzuka Tooth took the earthen camera that he didn't know when he secretly took pictures everywhere.
"Where every inch of land is valuable, I don't know when Konoha Village will have such a fun place."
"Huh?"
After hesitating for a while, Xiang Lian still decided to tell the truth,
"Actually, everything on this island belongs to the ancient sugi family, whether it is the land or the buildings on it, the mountains and rivers, the rocks and soils, ......," he said
After a pause, he continued to explain to the stunned two friends:
"Theoretically, every grass, tree, and grain of dust here belongs to my family, except for the master and servants, basically everyone else is a floating population who spend money to rent property here to enjoy, and they have to leave when it expires."
"What?"
The breathless Inuzuka tooth shouted loudly,
"Is this true? Damn rich man!"
What is the difference in the world, so that the two children who went out to see the world for the first time deeply experienced and firmly remembered in their hearts.
"It's not me, it's my grandmother's, it's my father who takes care of the house, and I don't know much about ......."
"That...... Will you inherit these things later?"
The silent Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but ask,
"What a place of luxury, too rotten."
Compared to the Furusugi family, the Uchiha family, which was once proud, is as ridiculous as a rural nouveau riche.
"It's not a place to deceive the poor, I've heard my father say that it is taken from the people, used by the people, and comes to the Furusugi family
He said that money is just a number, a tool to regulate the rich and the poor......
"I don't understand."
This kind of profound truth, how can a child around ten years old understand, Sasuke and Ya glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Yes
"As for what you want to know, whether it will be inherited by me."
Facing the eyes of his little friend, Xiang Lian still nodded,
"I guess so. Father and mother had this plan, and neither grandfather nor grandmother objected. However, I still have a lot to learn if I want to inherit the property and authority of the Kosugi family. In addition......"
Thinking of a certain joint, Xiang Lian couldn't help but blush slightly,
"My mother secretly warned me that the heir of the Gushan family has to consider the matter of marriage, and his family will not be free for life. If I'm not strong enough in the future, I'll probably pick a certain kid of a big clan to start a family."
"Oh, it seems that the big family also has the troubles of the big family, if you are not rare, just push it."
Inuzuka replied nonchalantly, glancing at Sasuke Uchiha, who didn't seem to be listening. Yes
"No, the Gusugi family can't have no successor, otherwise, the livelihood of thousands of families in the ninja world will be affected. If I can't get on top, I'll have to be continued by one of my three sisters. They are too young to bear these ......."
"That's it!"
Pouting, pretending to whistle a few times, Inuzuka teeth with fingers folded, put on the back of his head, walking in front alone, still humming something in his mouth.
When he was a little embarrassed in the field, Sasuke Uchiha suddenly asked:
"Kaori, do you know the three of Kaguya-kun Maro, Fujido Kasumi, and Kusanagi Kyo?"
"Huh, you know? It shouldn't be! Is there anything you'd like to know?"
"Just ask. What are their strengths, and what are the odds of winning compared to you?" Yes
"Don't think about it, I'm not an opponent! Kusanagi Kyo and Fujido Kasumi, I still have some hope of holding on undefeated, Kaguya-kun Maro......
Xiang Lian sighed with a complicated face,
"That person is a fighting machine born for fighting, a point-to-end fighting in the ring, I can last up to five minutes, indiscriminate deathmatch, I feel like I'm going to be killed in a minute."
"So strong?"
Uchiha Sasuke's face turned grim when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be even more anxious when he thought of Mizuki-sensei's words.
"Are there any weaknesses?"
Originally, he didn't think there was anything wrong, but he suddenly looked at Uchiha Sasuke and asked solemnly: "Yes."
"Do you want to go to the all-age group? The videos of the previous competitions obtained by Konoha Village are almost all age groups, all of them are junior groups in the past two years. Last year's junior team was the female martial arts squad, and Kaguya-kunmaro made it to the top 24 of the all-age group, and if it weren't for the bad luck, there was even hope of making it to the finals."
"Top 20, what is this concept?"
"If Iruka-sensei participates, there is a chance of making it to the top 24 and entering the final 9 round-robin deathmatch finals, which is infinitely close to zero, and this is what my father inadvertently joked that he slipped out of his mouth and was heard by me."
"Ahh
Sasuke Uchiha opened his mouth wide to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
Previously, Mizuki Sensei's advice, Uchiha Sasuke also felt that he exaggerated the strength of the "gatekeeper" in order to prevent himself from taking risks.
As a result, it is known from Xiang Li's words that not only is it not exaggerated, but it may also be underestimated. Yes
How good is that?
"Did someone tell you that you were asked to participate in the all-age group only after winning the Junmaro? I'm telling you, it's almost impossible."
"It's not about winning, it's about getting recognized."
"Junmaro, I won't approve anyone but my father, unless you beat him, or beat my father. I said that, you should understand, right?"
"What...... Will it be?"
Seeing that his teammates were uneasy, Xiang Lian said with some embarrassment:
"Cheer up, don't interfere with our group.
If you have to participate in the all-age group, I'll ask you, but don't get your hopes up." Yes
"I understand, I'm sorry for you."
Kao, who was inseparable from herself, conclusively admitted that her skills were inferior, and she definitely didn't have much chance of winning, and Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but clench his fists.
Before falling asleep that night, Karyo passed on the not-so-good information to the tossing and turning Uchiha Sasuke in a very timely manner.
So, early the next morning, Sasuke Uchiha, who was staring at the dark circles under his eyes, looked at the hesitant Xianglin seriously.
"There's really no way?"
"It's hard to make an exception, and my father has to arrange it himself. In fact, such a trivial matter could not reach his hands at all. Therefore, it is mostly useless to go through the back door. In that case, you have to follow the rules."
Xiang Lian pondered the words for a moment and said, "Say."
"I asked Uncle Yasukawa Zaihara, who was actually operating the fishing fire, and they came up with a solution that was not a solution."
"How?"
"In the individual competition, you can't participate, no one will speak for you, and it's not fair to the other competitors. So, there's a glimmer of possibility in the team event."
After all, the "King of Fighters" Festival is a real battle, and it is inevitable that there will be various accidents. In the individual competition, if the physical strength is exhausted, the injury is too serious, and the competition can not continue to participate in the competition, you can automatically withdraw from the competition or passively judge the loss.
The team competition is different, three people in a group, there are more uncontrollable factors, if it is because of the fault of one person and drag the other two to be eliminated, it will be a pity.
So, in the team competition, there is a substitute spot.
In the unlikely event that a player is unavailable, the substitute comes in handy. Yes
The addition of this rule has been well received by martial artists, and has made the already popular three-person team competition even more popular.
The addition of substitutes can not only avoid unexpected factors, but also play some tricks.
For example, if a player is too restrained by the opponent, he can find a reason to take a break and let a more advantageous substitute come on.
Strength and weakness are sometimes mutual, and the five attributes of Chakra all have a relationship with each other, let alone people?
The defeated generals of your subordinates are not necessarily the defeated generals of yours.
The format of the "King of Fighters" challenge is fine-tuned every year, and this year, because many "wild cards" were issued in the semi-finals, inviting well-known young talents from the five major ninja villages to participate, so for the teams that entered the semi-finals in advance, it is allowed to replace one main player and one substitute.
"The last registration date is the day after tomorrow, and you can find a team that enters the semi-finals and become its substitute ......," he said
"Can't it be the right choice?"
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes are hot, and it is estimated that he will not be able to fight in the individual competition alone, and he will be able to compete in the team competition.
"The problem is, you can't even find a team willing to accept you right now, can you?"
The simple question made the smile on Sasuke Uchiha's face immediately freeze.
"You...... Isn't there a way? If it can be done, I owe you a favor."
"Don't be so exaggerated......
Xiang Ryu replied with some embarrassment, saying
"You know, I went to school in Konoha Village all year round, and I don't know any martial artists. It's just that there are a few childhood friends who have been teaming up to participate in the junior team competition, and the "female martial artist" team, which was in the limelight last year, Sister Kasumi Fujido, Kaguya-kun Maro, and Kusanagi Kyo teamed up. Originally, it was difficult for them to find a decent replacement, and this year they even went to the main selection with strength......
"So, are they willing to accept me?"
"After all, it's a female martial arts squad, so it's impossible for you to be the right choice directly, and besides, I don't know you either."
"I'm sorry for you."
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath, this was already the best opportunity he could find in the past two days,
"Even if it's a substitute, I want it, if they don't dislike it."
"I'm with Sasa and Kageno
mentioned that they were able to enter the top 24 this year, and their luck was quite good, and they almost didn't meet any too strong teams, and they barely got to this day. There will be no weak teams to pick up cheap in the rematch, the new Yuli You is too young to be demanding, the original substitute Muyue is a make-up number, if you go, you should have a chance to play." Yes
"I'd like to see them early if I can."
"After dinner, I'll take you there, and if you agree, register tomorrow morning."
Of course, this afternoon, the opportunity to fight with the "Gatekeeper" should not be missed, judging from the information obtained, the chances of victory are slim, but what if you win?
It's up to people.
Even if everyone is not optimistic about him, Sasuke Uchiha doesn't want to give up just like that.
After lunch and a good rest for two hours, Mizuki-sensei appeared on time and led Sasuke to the training ground of the villa in the back mountain, accompanied by Karu and Ya.
Halfway through, I also met Shiro and Hinata Ningji who came from another direction. Yes
"You're here to challenge the Gatekeeper to qualify?"
"You too?"
Hinata Ninji still has that arrogant look, Uchiha Sasuke is not used to him, and responds in a similar way, and Shiro greets Xiang Ryu with a light smile.
After walking for nearly five minutes, in a shady meadow surrounded by giant trees, everyone saw Kaguya-kun Maro, Fujido Kasumi, Kusanagi-kyo and the dwarf Ranmaru who had been waiting for a long time.
"It's slow."
Jun Mario, who opened his eyes, glanced at the few people present, Mizuki Teacher should not be the target of the battle, the lord's daughter Xianglin and his little henchman, I didn't hear that they were going to participate in the competition of all age groups.
The rest ...... Yes
"Shiro, Hinata Ninji, and Uchiha Sasuke, it's the three of you, right? Let's go together, so as not to waste time."
"Huh?"
Two pairs of sharp eyes pierced Kaguya-kun Maro like sharp arrows, and only Shiro had a refreshing smile.
"I'll come first, although the odds are a little low, but ...... Gotta try."
"I hope you'll grow a little."
Under the command of Gu Shanbu Shui, the real supreme genius, just him and Bai, the other people are not bad, but they are still a little bit aura.
"You won't be disappointed." Yes
