The state of this year's middle ninja exam, and

The "King of Fighters" Challenge was much the same, with the average for the third trial still high and even above the previous average, but there were not many dominant masters and the competition was fierce.

The influence of accidental factors has become greater, making it more difficult to judge the outcome of the competition, which in turn increases the spectacle of the competition.

Without Uchiha, Hinata and a number of well-known ninja geniuses, the audience was also very satisfied with this middle ninja exam.

Geniuses don't come often, but they do

The competition of "hard-working geniuses" is the mainstream. After the semi-finals, in order to give the winning candidates enough time to prepare, the examination room reserved lunch time for the audience to watch the final showdown in the afternoon.

"Bu Shui ......" asked the attendants to serve the prepared food, and after eating a few bites of the rice balls and tea soup in the tray, the old daimyo who had no appetite shouted to the young governor of Furusugi, who was leaning against the railing in the front row and looking out,

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

"Huh? It's coming, it's coming! "When I was a child, Gu Shanbu Shui was still very popular with my grandfather, at that time, the old name was not covered with age spots and frailty, it seemed to be wooden, but in fact, he was wise and capable, with relatively weak strength, he suppressed the influence of Konoha Village to the death, and he was also a little capable, and he was a monarch with a lot of power.

"What do you command?"

"Orders or something, it's too serious, it's just that I have something to ask you. How many princes of our Yuanping Second Clan are empty? ”

"We still have two in the Taira clan, Genji, it is said that there are three, two of them, there are already people waiting to inherit them, and there is only one that is really vacant." In the Land of Fire, the real ruler is actually the Daimyo and Hei family who inherit the Genji clan, and there are only three nominally in each family

The "royal family", that is, the close relatives who have the right to inherit, can be called the prince's division. In fact, the two masters have long regarded these as threats to their own power

The "Iron Hat King" is divided into several small families, and their strength is weak. Gu Sugi was deposed, and the daimyo directly let Princess Ruri inherit the family name, recruiting Gu Sugi Masako, those big and small

The "prince" didn't dare to put a fart, but only dared to complain a few words in private. On the other hand, it's the same, if the main branch of the daimyo is extinct, the so-called

The "Genji Imperial Three Families" can only watch dryly, and Furusugi will succeed to the throne of the daimyo by the heirs of Furusugi. The marriage of the two families has actually long since lost the hope of a counterattack by the side branches.

As for the absence of inheritance

There are even more "Yu Sanqing", except that there is no nominal inheritance, and there is no difference between them and the side branches of the lineage.

"The two children of the Zhiji family, let's pick one to inherit the title of prince of Genji." Originally, the Gusugi family

"Guigong" is prepared for the cousin of Jiji, and one more is from the territory directly under the daimyo, and then a fief.

"You're so generous! I'm sure I'm okay, I don't know what my cousin thinks......" Glancing not far away, the cousin of Zhiji, who coaxed the child with Mrs. Mai Qin, Gu Shanbushui whispered,

"I know you want to make amends, but will the excessive favor make Uncle Zhiji feel unbearable!"

"It's just a name, and it doesn't matter if you give a piece of territory to future generations as a foundation, the country of fire is so big, you can arrange a few children."

"This kind of thing, you can arrange it, and if you need my cooperation, just ask for it."

"You're just taking these things too seriously. Also, with your abilities, these things outside of your body are all things that are all pitched. Other relatives in the family, as well as children and grandchildren, may not be able to do this. ”

"Teachable! I'll take care of it and don't get dirty. ”

"You're a good boy! Although there is no shortage of people with good brains in our two families, we have real skills in our hands and can really get things done, and we haven't done it for many years. Think about our ancestors, the East and the West have been facing each other for hundreds of years, fighting and fighting, getting stronger and stronger, but they have lost other large and small forces. "This is a typical example of the boss and the second boss competing for hegemony, and the third, fourth, and fifth are all pitted.

The world is like this, and the ninja world is the same, and the Uchiha and Senju also play like this.

We can only say this in private, how can other people understand the true meaning of power? It may be better for those who know nothing to know less about the cruelty of this world. ”

"Yes, this world is neither kind nor correct, only our Genpei two clan, always merciful." The world needs order, even if it has all kinds of problems, and it is better than no order at all.

If you defeat the Daimyo and the Furusugi family, and replace them with a small group of people, will it be better?

"The world always thinks that we are rotten, moths of this world, vampires lying on the people, but at least we are full, we will take care of our appearance, and we will also change our sanctimonious faces to maintain fairness and justice on the surface. If it weren't for us, those who were so vicious and had no regard for decency would come to the slaughter, and they knew what would have become. ”

"Alas!" The old man held Gu Shanbushui's arm with a thin hand, and said with emotion,

"With you, I'm relieved. Over the years, the ninja village has grown stronger and stronger, and its influence in the world has also increased day by day, and my son and grandson, both of whom are more than established and less enterprising, want to change the governance model as soon as possible to meet the next challenges, they ...... Can't do it. ”

"Take care of your body, watch it with peace of mind, it's okay!"

"I don't know how long I can watch it. You have done a good job, and what I am most satisfied with is the grasp of proportion. Let's hold the Fire Nation in our hands, as long as we don't make mistakes, it means that there is no opponent. The other big countries, including the five major ninja villages, including Konoha Village, are not enemies, just noisy neighbors. ”

"Hmmm! You're right! "If it weren't for such a major event as Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke, as well as the resurrection of Kaguya Otsuki, the development of the future world would indeed develop in the direction that the old daimyo said.

"Where's the phosphium? I haven't seen her all the time......"

"Let's hang out with my classmates!"

"That's a good boy, I also suffered a lot when I was a child, and now that I'm doing well, I'm relieved." It seems that he heard his sister's name, and Hiiragi, who has a keen sense, raised his head and looked at his father and the one he didn't know well

"Old man", seeing that they were chatting, continued to lower his head and bury his head in eating delicious eel rice.

Seeing that the family was rarely happy together, the old daimyo said with relief: "Many years ago, there was also such a scene, when I inherited the throne of the daimyo, the ancestor asked me to take care of my family, and the result was ...... Alas! ”

"The ending is not bad! Uncle Zhiji is also quite satisfied now, and the family is quite harmonious. "After a long chatter, the sun set in the west, the heat wave subsided a little, and the final round began.

It was the first time that a star shinobi stepped on such an arena to perform, and the actress named May Shinobu was not frightened by this kind of occasion, and she looked eager to try.

Instead, the burly Konoha ninja on the other side was a little cramped and nervous. In front of everyone's eyes, being able to show your strength and win the championship in one fell swoop is a rare opportunity in your life.

There is no master with an overwhelming advantage this year, and it is not easy to get to this point. After the start of the game, Gu Shanbu Shui, who had a superb vision, roughly judged that the Konoha ninja on the opposite side had a significantly solid foundation, and May's ninjutsu mastery was okay, whether it was a ninja throwing or a restricted secret technique, it was all the same, if she didn't use the forbidden technique, her strength was already considerable, and it was indeed not all luck to reach the finals.

It's just that in terms of ninjutsu cohesion and tactical maturity, there is still a big gap with Konoha Ninja.

If you take out a certain field alone, you won't lose at the level of May, but if you concentrate on one person, in actual combat, there is a gap.

"The gap in the ninja village!" Gu Shanbushui shook his head regretfully. This is caused by a deep-seated lack of accumulation, not only the candidates on the field, but the Wind Demon clan is indeed not as good as it used to be, and it will take a long time to restore the old view.

Sure enough, May, who was still active before, gradually fell into the disadvantage after a few minutes of fruitless attack, was suppressed in turn, and struggled to support for nearly 20 minutes before regrettably losing.

Finally, the referee announced the result, and the audience burst into applause. "Konoha Village's face, saved!

If one of the star ninjas is allowed to win, the mist ninja and the sand ninja will certainly lose face, and the host Konoha Village will lose face.

With a smile on his face, Sarufei Ri slashed the field, presented awards to the winners, and awarded the qualification of Zhongnin, and at the same time comforted the defeated May.

Soon after, the audience began to leave the venue one after another. Gu Shanbu Shui said hello to everyone, left early, and went to the residence of the Hyuga family.

The Hyuga patriarch, who had heard the news for a long time, had already arranged for his attendants to wait at the door. Walking through the quaint courtyard and arriving at the reception room, Hinata Hinata had been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings for a long time, Rizu senior." Gu Shanbushui knelt on the opposite side, took the matcha handed over, tasted a few sips, and the taste was okay.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, the demeanor of Major Governor Bushui is still the same, but I am a few years older." Hinata Hinata is forty years old this year, and if you really count it, she can be regarded as a daughter in her later years.

Of course, this matter actually has something to do with the Gushan family. Very early on, Furusugi also had the idea of marrying Hinata, the Gusugi family needed the combat power of the Hyuga family, and the Hyuga family needed the power of the Gusugi family to protect themselves.

Originally, there was still a great hope of success in this matter, but it was later abandoned due to some accidents.

Even Zhiji's cousin almost found no such person, so the so-called marriage was naturally impossible to talk about. Strictly speaking, the two families did almost become relatives.

Things are not people, and the grievances and grievances of the early years are gone, otherwise, Gusugi Bushui, Hinata Ningji, and even Hinata Hinata may not be born.

"You are too modest, I don't know what advice you have for this invitation?"

"I can't talk about advice, Young Governor Bu Shui, I want to know how you plan to treat our Hyuga family in the future."

"Treat?" Gu Shanbu Shui asked strangely,

"Furusugi and Hinata, they don't have anything to do with each other directly, right? Is there any grievance worth talking about? ”

"Of the thousand-year-old clan of Konoha Village, only Hyuga remains......" Hinata Hinata explained slowly and methodically while drinking tea,

"I may have a clearer grasp of current events than the average person. Back then, our Hyuga ancestors were not the first ninja to throw themselves into Konoha Village, and the Sarufei, Shimura, Pig Deer Butterfly and other families were more than a step slower, not that we couldn't see the strength of Senju Pillar and Uchiha Madara, but that we Hyuga had our own principles of doing things. ”

"Is it more important to keep the family inheritance than to grow and grow, or even to become the king?" Hinata Hinata laughed and said, "Where are the majestic Senju and Uchiha now?" The whirlpool clan that married with a thousand hands, if it weren't for your help, would have disappeared long ago. Besides, is the current whirlpool still the whirlpool of the past? "The descendants of the country of the vortex have long disappeared in the accident of the country's collapse and death, and the current country of the vortex established by the remnants of the vortex is too far from the blood relationship of the original main branch.

Fusugi Busui never had the idea of marrying Naruto Uzumaki, and even Momiji didn't even call himself by the surname of the Uzumaki clan, and his daughters didn't have the idea of inheriting the name of the Uzumaki family.

If it's gone, it's gone, and it's enough to have a whirlpool in Konoha Village.

"You're right! So, what are your plans to have something to do with our Gushan family? ”

"For Konoha Village, I want to know, is Gusugi going to be directly controlled?"

"No, it won't!" Gu Shanbu Shui smiled,

"The order of one village and one country is still stable, and I have no idea of breaking it, but the controversy about 'jade' has been going on for many years, and I hope it will end in this generation! After all, the Hokage, who is also nominally a subsidiary of the Daimyo......"

"Got it!" Hinata Hinata breathed a long sigh of relief,

"Then I'm relieved! The ninja war, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is just a game in which several big ninja villages shout and shout every few years, and then Konoha Village wins, if Konoha Village and the Fire Country break, it will be completely different. ”

"How could you have such an idea?" Gu Shanbu asked puzzledly,

"You know, I've never shown any ill will towards the Konoha ninja, but I'm still very kind." Hinata Hinata had a rare smile on his old-fashioned face: "The three generations, in the end, we don't have the heritage of our thousand-year-old family, I don't understand it very well, the so-called hostility is not driven by malice, but by the conflict of interests." Now, in the village, how many lifelines are in your hands, how many ninjas and Gu Sugi Mei are in front of each other, and how many people live directly or indirectly from the Gu Sugi family? Even we, Hinata, are feeling more and more clearly the weight of the Gusugi family in the village. "Others can't see through the tentacles of the ancient cedar water hidden behind the layers of vests, and the well-informed Hyuga family really understands the persecution of that behemoth getting closer and closer.

Konoha will not actively harm Konoha Village, but Konoha ninjas will never be allowed to infringe on the authority of the Daimyo and the Kosugi family.
