Chapter 307: The Truth of the Night
This year's "King of Fighters" Challenge is now in its twentieth year, and the popularity is even higher than last year's.
Except for some ninjas and students in Konoha Village who directly entered the semi-finals, as well as seeded players who received invitations, the other contestants had to start from the audition.
The Shinobu of Konoha Village and the recommended students participate in the junior competition, and when the time comes, they can directly follow the large army to Shiki Island.
However, if you want to participate in all age groups, you must start with regional auditions.
Seeing the intensity of the competition last year, many students consciously did not expect to exceed their own level too much.
At this year's ninja school, only Uchiha Sasuke and Karyo directly applied for the all-age group, and the other team was Hinata, who was one grade higher.
For the three of them, there is no need to compete with other children of the same age.
Soon after the start of school, in Konoha Village, there are several relatively spacious places to set up audition venues, and after confirming the identity of the contestants, they will be arranged to be selected in a private arena not far from the village by the Furusugi family.
After passing this level, it is equivalent to passing the "trash fish" stage, with a certain strength, and the battle between them also has a certain amount of ornamentation and gimmicks.
After that, the qualifiers can look forward to the Elite in mid-March, which is the "main event" where there is an official venue and tickets for spectators to enter the stadium.
If you come out on top, you can go to Siqi Island with the qualifiers from other regions to prepare for the finals.
After the reform of the competition system, the influence of the "King of Fighters" challenge has become more and more influential, and it has almost become a grand event that focuses on the whole people.
Uchiha Sasuke, Kaoru and Hinata Ninji are the famous talents of Konoha Village, and there is definitely no problem with identity review, Uchiha, Hinata and Furusugi have teamed up to be the focus of this "King of Fighters" challenge, and I don't know how many people are looking forward to their appearance.
Last year's initial test of the edge has made many people remember them, and this year's rematch, the strength will definitely be stronger.
This year, there is no such desperate crushing master as Kaguya-kun Maro, and the team composed of these three children seems to have become one of the strong contenders for the victory.
The reason why it's just "one" is because this year is a bit special, even the fog ninja and the sand ninja have sent two mature shinobi teams to participate, although the rock ninja and the cloud ninja have not officially ended, the number of people participating as civilians has doubled compared to previous years.
In previous years, the samurai of Iron Nation, who had made a name for themselves in the "King of Fighters" challenge, became more and more enthusiastic about facing ninjas in the ring.
In actual combat, the ninja's strange ninjutsu is unguardable, but in the ring with simple terrain, the characteristics of the samurai who are good at frontal fighting have been vividly brought into play.
The outstanding performance has made the prestige of the samurai group much higher, and life has been much better.
War in peacetime, dark war without gunpowder.
In the past, this title was worn on the head of the United Ninja Exam, but now, the majority of the ninja world feels more and more that the "King of Fighting" organized by the Furusugi family is more worthy of the name.
The Zhongnin exam in which a few children participated, in the end, was still too child's play, far less exciting than the ring fighting at the end of the fist.
In the vicinity of his manor, Gu Shanbushui, who had a full view of the entire selection process, watched Xiang Lian and her teammates appear several times, defeated the opponents in groups, and defended the stage several times, subduing the challengers who were not convinced, and finally obtained the qualification for the "main competition".
"It's over?"
"Yes, young master! Would you like to say hello to Miss Xianglin?"
Yuhuo replied respectfully, and Gu Shanbushui responded, quickly stepping over the crowd of onlookers, and came to the three children who didn't seem to get along very well.
Also, they are all geniuses, they don't accept each other, it's good if they don't fight, if it weren't for Kario in the middle, the relationship between Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata Ninji is estimated to be no better.
Both of them are problem children with great bitterness and hatred, and have a large psychological disorder.
"Father?"
I had long known through the perception of Kagura's heart that Furusugi Bushui was observing nearby
The incense burner soon noticed the proximity of the parents.
"It's progressing fast, not bad! It seems that there is no wasted time, and there are also Ning Ci and Zuo Suke, who are also very powerful."
After all, it's a rare big shot, although I can't measure how much energy he has, after all, he is the elder of his classmates, and the necessary politeness must be maintained.
After a brief greeting, Gu Shanbu Shui suggested:
"It's over, why don't you go to my house! Since you are going to form a team to compete in the future, the necessary tacit understanding is also required, and it seems that your relationship is relatively stiff, and it is not good to ......go on in the long run."
The righteous and awe-inspiring words made Hinata Ninji and Uchiha Sasuke difficult to refute, so they had to reluctantly come to the palace-like manor.
Let the fishing fire accompany the incense, take the two friends to the neighborhood for a walk, after a visit, Gu Shanbu Shui came to the side hall, and saw Mizuki and Xiao Tsubaki, who had been waiting for a long time.
[In view of the general environment,
"I'm sorry, I was watching Xianglian's game just now, and I was delayed a little time."
"You're so polite, Tsubaki and I came here to show our gratitude."
"It's a gesture."
Things are actually not complicated, the wedding date is approaching, and Mizuki, who has squandered all his savings, can't afford to spend much money to organize the wedding.
I won't mention any pomp, at least there must be a sense of ceremony.
Of course, it's okay to borrow money, after so many years in Konoha Village, I still have some connections.
However, borrowing should not be repeated over and over again.
When he was in trouble, Gu Shanbushui rented the site and materials to Mizuki for use, and only charged a symbolic commission, which was already a great favor.
That's why the two "would-be couples" came together to thank them.
"Speaking of which, we are also students of the same level, and we used to take pictures in school. Childhood sweethearts, there are not many who can achieve positive results, you ...... That's good, congratulations."
Mizuki hurriedly returned the salute politely, and then said the main topic to Gu Shanbushui:
"It seems that the third generation is also coming, I wonder if you have any requirements then?"
Is it an unexpected encounter, discuss something, or just treat it as a coincidence, and a greeting is enough?
"Do you know what the reason is?"
"Actually, ......"
Mizuki explained,
"This is the peak time for young men and women in the village to tie the knot, and there are only two good days in early March, and there are more weddings."
"Oh, I see, routine greeting."
Although there is no such thing as a group wedding, where the big man acts as a witness and sends blessings, as long as he is not too busy, the Hokage will take the time to care about it and take a look.
After all, it is the future of the village, and it is still necessary to brush up on the sense of existence.
The village is so big, although there are a lot of people, but it is a proper acquaintance society, and the ninjas who pay attention to efficiency do not have high requirements for pomp and circumstance, and they don't do any flowing water seats.
"If that's the case, then there's no need to make any special preparations, you can do whatever you want, and we'll just go for a festive look......
"That's fine!"
Mizuki nodded in understanding,
"Also, the day after tomorrow, I don't know if you're free, I plan to invite you and Yin Luka to a small gathering in the Humble House......
"Isn't this a special parent?"
Hearing this, Gu Shanbu Shui grinned,
"Yes, I'm in the village, and I'll have to stay for a while. However, before starting a family, it is very dangerous to hold a bachelor banquet?"
The young governor of Furusugi, who readily agreed, didn't think much about it, no matter what Mizuki thought, inviting Umino Yin Ruka was also to avoid suspicion.
They are all teachers in charge of their daughters at the ninja school, and it is normal to deal with them.
Because I'm usually very busy, I don't have much time in Konoha Village, so-called
I didn't visit my home once, and the parent-teacher meetings were attended by others.
It's also good to talk to teachers who don't communicate much.
After finishing business, Mizuki left with his fiancée.
After the reception room was quiet, Furusugi Bushui rested for a while, and then went straight to a darkly lit secret room, where Kaguya-kun Maro and Ranmaru and others were interrogating eight young people who were a little sluggish.
Seeing Gu Shanbu Shui coming in, the painful moans stopped, and Jun Malu and the others stopped continuing.
"Young Master......
"Have you been interrogated?"
Ranmaru, who was the youngest and had the best brain, came out of the crowd and replied:
"Of the four people who personally came forward to negotiate with Uchiha Sasuke, two of them took cover, one lurked around the Ketsura Keiji to listen to the news, and the last one disguised himself as a tourist in the middle of the dispatch. Eight people were caught in one fell swoop, and no one else was found to be implicated......
"Yes!"
Gu Shanbushui, who heard this, sat down on the chair in front of several people, and after looking at them, he found that although they had been tortured, they were not too seriously injured, but they were not in good spirits.
"I'm angry! Back then, your patriarch Uchiha Fugaku promised with his life and honor that he would "wash" you clean up and then hand you over to me, and set up self-restraint with the forbidden art Yin Shinami so that he would not cause me trouble, and made a lot of promises, so I reluctantly sheltered you until now, and the result was ...... That's how you repay me?"
"The Uchiha will never give in......
A silver-white haired young man opened his mouth to shout a few cruel words, but was kicked in the face by Kusanagi Kyo who was close, forcibly swallowing the inferior words, and several front teeth were knocked out.
"No matter what you think, the Uchiha's fate has nothing to do with me, why are you telling me this? Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiza, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Itachi, no one can hate me, on the contrary, the Furusugi family has the grace to rescue you, if it wasn't for my action, you would have died three years ago. Just remembering hatred and leaving favor behind is your Uchiha tradition?"
After saying something, several people were speechless.
Gu Shanbushui saw that no one came forward, so he continued with a smile:
"I've been advised to put you ungrateful creatures to death on the spot, and then drag them back for the rest of the clan to see. I thought about it, but I still gave up, and there was no need to bully a group of people who already had nothing and only knew how to do flies and dogs. However, in the end, I decided to meet you, because I was curious about what kind of thoughts drove you to come to Konoha Village to take risks and do such things at the cost of offending everyone!"
After a long time, it seemed that he understood that without saying a word, it was difficult to stop Gu Shanbushui from torturing the true information, and someone replied:
"The hatred of the Uchiha cannot be forgotten. If it weren't for the traitor Uchiha Itachi, and the Uchiha Fugaku being too indecisive, we wouldn't have come to this point."
"Is that really the case? Do you think that if you leave, it will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the Uchiha family?"
Gu Shanbu Shui couldn't help but laugh and said,
"You well-protected fools don't even know what happened that night. Let me tell you this, the people who were sent away are all people whose patriarch thinks that they are useless to rebel against Konoha Village, but who can shoulder the burden of reviving the family in the future. As a result, it seems that he did lose his eyes and pick out what kind of things, or is it that the Uchiha family is like this, and you are already the most decent?"
"This ...... How is that possible?"
"Isn't it a surprise? Including you, Uchiha Fugaku "sold" me all the people and things that could not improve his immediate combat power, and bought a large number of war materials, shurikens, detonation charms, and military ration pills, just to make a final struggle on the night of the extermination. I admire the people who remained, who knew that they would die, but who were still very brave, even in the face of an invincible opponent, and still fought to the end."
After a pause, Gu Shanbushui smiled and teased:
"Don't you think it's really a coincidence that the fire that swept through half of Konoha Village that night? If not, you can't
The patriarch of the rise finally became arrogant, and you won't even have the opportunity to say cool things here."
"How so?"
The sudden truth made several people stunned.
Gu Shanbushui didn't bother to talk to them too much, but mocked very bluntly:
"The reality of this world is not as simple as you think. Uchiha Sasuke was deceived, he didn't know the truth, and he recognized the thief as his father, how good can you be? It's just a poor worm who has been blinded."
"I don't believe it."
Finally, someone was broken by Fusugi Bushui's words, and struggled in annoyance and anger, trying to pounce, but was simply suppressed by Kaguya-kun Maro, and then nailed it to the ground with a bone spur, unable to move.
"Originally, I still had some expectations for you, but it turned out that you guys couldn't even do a good job as villains, which was really disappointing."
People who can have some ideas, or are ready to make changes, and do not hesitate to take risks, should be a bit responsible, and the result is not worth it.
"Last question, how did you break through the shackles of the forbidden art Yin Xiannami's self-thinking? Don't try to lie to me, I know more about the secret techniques of your Uchiha family than you do."
The ancient cedar water that he said made Ranmaru show his three-hooked jade writing wheel eye.
"Think about it, there's only one chance."
