When the volume is large to a certain extent, it is difficult to hide.

The ninja world is so big, it's really to the top circle, and there are only a few people going around.

The strongest forces can basically get to know each other roughly.

On the sea beyond the land, the influence of Fog Hidden Village is very large, Yun Shinobi is not weak, and the presence of Konoha Village is not strong.

As the power of the Gushan family grew, the fog ninja began to retreat, and the cloud ninja was suppressed on the shore, not daring to go to the sea to provoke easily.

At this time, with a simple elimination method, a list of suspects can be pulled, and the Gushan family is definitely the top one, if not in the first place.

"Whom do you ask?"

The two of them summed up for a moment, and Ape Feiri couldn't help but sigh,

"This kind of thing, it's useless to ask the people below, only the top decision-makers know. I'm afraid that only a very small number of henchmen who really handle it know a thing or two. There's no way we're going to arrest their descendants and torture them, right?"

For a speculation without any evidence, he offended the biggest financiers and allies, and he would not do such a thing if his brain was broken.

Moreover, there is a more important piece of information.

The mermaids actually have the ability to disguise themselves as ordinary people and operate on land, which means that this force that has infiltrated the ninja world has not been discovered by any force.

This ability to conceal is too strong, isn't it?

"Do you want to restart the Amphibious Ninja experiment? It seems that the hope for the future is ...... at sea."

Shimura Danzou suggested,

"Actually, if you think about it, you should know that the total amount of strategic materials in the ninja world has suddenly changed, and the Gusugi family is peddling a large amount of basic energy and staple food, and if there is no additional source channel, it is impossible to squeeze other suppliers and then monopolize everything. The sea may not be as barren as it seems......

"It's too late, the information of the experiment back then, in the hands of Orochimaru, will be gone with the abandonment of the laboratory."

From now on, starting from scratch, how can it be so simple?

At best, the forces in the sea, like on land, are divided and fighting, so it is better to have no time to care about the strife on the shore.

If this force is not completely controlled by the Gushan family, and is only in a state of cooperation, then there is still room for redemption.

"Anyway, let's try to get in touch first, if we can make connections, and then strengthen cooperation."

If you can catch up as soon as possible and broaden the income channels of Konoha Ninja, you can undoubtedly get out of the debt trap faster.

The two actual controllers of Konoha Village, after ending this conversation, sent people one after another, and the results were mixed.

According to the route in the mission report, it is indeed more likely that they will go to the sea area called Zadu Island or Ryugu Castle, but when they return, it will be difficult to enter again.

After half a month, the Konoha ninjas still haven't found a way to enter repeatedly, so they can only wait for the merfolk to take the initiative to find the door.

-----------------

Just when the attention of the Konoha ninjas was attracted by the mysterious force that suddenly appeared, the "King of Fighters" challenge on Shiki Island also came to an end.

After a lapse of several years, the reorganized "Female Fighters" team represented the Hoshinobi Village in the competition, and after a lot of hardships, they finally reached the final and ranked fourth.

The first three are occupied by the Iron Country Samurai, the Mist Shinobi and the Sand Shinobi, respectively.

The Konoha ninjas have not fared well this year, with only one group of Shinobi teams in the top 10 and only two spots in the top 24 in the finals.

This is actually in line with the current overall pattern of the ninja world, the advantage of the Konoha ninja is that the quality of education is high, full of stamina, and the comprehensive strength of the middle ninja and upper ninja level is better, and in this lower middle fighting stage, the fog ninja, sand ninja and samurai groups are more dominant.

The star ninjas have good results, and it is also a good thing for the star ninja village, which has a strong sense of existence recently.

At the same time, Gu Shanbushui's three youngest daughters also ushered in the beginning of enlightenment education, in a private school specially prepared for internal children, Xiao Hiiragi, Xiao Jing and Xiao

Si carried his schoolbag and walked into the classroom amid the concern of his parents.

The two little ones were still a little apprehensive, and Hiiragi took the hands of the two younger sisters very sisterly and walked into a classroom full of strange children.

At this time, sending them to enlightenment is actually a preparatory class for nearly half a year, whether it is to go to the Inaba School or to the Konoha Village Ninja School for further study, they need a certain foundation, and it is impossible to really know how to read big characters, and send them over without knowing anything.

In addition, the most important thing is to let the three little ones get acquainted with each other with the children of the same age within the family.

Children in their formative years cannot stay with their parents and family all the time, and they also need friends and playmates.

The characters of "accompanying the prince to study", the children of those retainers and the leaders of the vassal forces, most of them know what kind of classroom this is and what to do, and they also know in their hearts.

It would be great if he could become playmates with Gu Shanbushui's children, or even confidants.

"I tell you, don't be afraid, as long as you study well, you will be given preferential treatment, I have inquired. My sister also said that going to school is not so boring, and it is quite fun."

"We're not afraid of being bored, there are a lot of strangers, all looking at us, is there something wrong with how we dress?"

Xiao Si, who was a little weak, looked timidly at the children nearby,

"Why don't you stare at us instead of looking at others?"

"I guess we know that we have something delicious hidden in our school bag, and we smell it."

"Huh?"

Xiaojing asked strangely,

"Didn't my father say that he couldn't bring it secretly? Sister, stuffed it in again?"

"Of course, if you're hungry, you can eat a little, do you want to?"

"Forget it!"

When the teacher walked in, Hiiragi secretly stuffed a piece of candy in her mouth and pretended to listen to the lecture, and those who didn't see it thought she was listening honestly, and those who saw it pretended not to know.

Through the monitor, seeing the performance of his own children, Gu Shanbu Shui said to the red leaves who were a little worried:

"See? Don't worry, in the future, they will have their own lives, and they must believe in the abilities of our children."

"In the past, Xiang Lian didn't encounter this time, and suddenly went to Konoha Village, although it was a good thing, I always felt a little indebted."

"It's not too late for good things to happen!"

After the red leaves were persuaded and reassured, Gu Shanbu Shui put this matter aside for the time being.

For the qualifications of the three youngest daughters, Gu Shanbushui is assured, the key is how to arrange their growth environment, not to be affected badly, resulting in crooked hearts, this is the key.

Coming to the family temple dedicated to the ancestral gods and festivals of the family on Silki Island, since Gu Shanbushui found a reason to let Chixia, the daughter of Jiki's cousin, become a witch maiden of the gods and gods, Katsura Mikoto often brought her daughter here to receive edification.

This is a good thing for children, even if they can't become a respected and respected messenger of God in the future, it is also an important resume, and they will have a good future within the family in the future.

If she knew that the eldest name was going to give them a share of the prince of another family, she would have been even more surprised.

After having Qianxia and Yihui, Gui Meiqin still often misses her other two sons, but she is no longer as sad as before.

Especially for her daughter, Gui Meiqin has devoted a lot of care.

Gu Shanbushui did not come forward to talk to her, but waited for her to leave with the children, then appeared, walked to the worship of the god of thought and thought, looked at the tribute in front of her, thoughtful.

After a long time, Gu Shanbu Shui asked the same silent Otsuki Kaguya:

"Will you be influenced by the person of thought and God in the future? After all, this is a god known for his wisdom, and he doesn't have much to do with your goddess and "ghost."

"It's okay! The impact is certainly there, but not as big as it seems. The big barrel wood clan is originally an eclectic and greedy race with an almost endless thirst for energy, and it is originally a greedy group that absorbs and merges, hoping that quantitative changes will produce qualitative changes

Visitors from above."

"Well, I don't want my collaborators to be lunatics with a lake of brains. How long will it be before you can hope to plant a new sacred tree on your own?"

"At least four or five years, at most ten years, right? In the end, there is a bit of a gap between the influence of the gods and the gods of thought."

"Whatever you want! You just don't make your reputation for thinking and being a god too stinky."

"How is that possible? It's a mutual fulfillment, and with what I borrow, maybe its person can be elevated."

"Yes!"

For this kind of thing, the dispensable ancient Shanbu Shui, I don't care at all about these virtual gods who don't even have the main master, and are completely the existence of virtual gods who believe in the convergence of mental power, maybe thousands of years ago, there was really a thought and a god, and now, it is absolutely impossible to find the source of faith, so it can be easily borrowed by the big barrel wood Kaguya.

"By the way, there's something I want to ask, do you know anything about the Visitor?"

"Huh? How so?"

"Urashima Taro, this apocryphal character, and its story, always feel a little familiar, the law enforcement team of the Otsuki Clan, there seems to be a very famous guy, the legend of the beginning, is a bit similar to the story you made up, it's just a mythical story with a different skin."

"You mean, you know a member of the Otsuki clan who resembles Taro Urashima?"

"I know him, he doesn't know me."

Otsuki Kaguya replied very dryly,

"The self-proclaimed big barrel Mokpo-style guy is very strong and has strange abilities, and is said to be a very clever hunter who has suppressed the Guardians who have tried to rebel and been suppressed by the Guardians several times."

"Will you face him in the future?"

"Possibly! The universe is very large, and the big barrel wood clan is also very strong, but the cognitive range of the individual is very limited, I know this person, which means that he is likely to be the enforcer responsible for cleaning up traitors in this sea of stars. It's only a matter of time before they come to the door."

"Urashima Taro of the Otsuki clan?"

Gu Shanbushui smiled noncommittally and didn't say anything.

For the future of more than ten years and decades later, Gu Shanbushui doesn't know anything about it, but he also roughly understands that the ninja world has gone through many hardships, and there is still no extinction.

In the fourth ninja war, Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha left helped to turn the tide and save the ninja world.

So who will stand up next time a visitor from outside the sky strikes?

The fate of the ninja world will never deviate too far.

"Ignore this for the time being, and get through the current hurdle."

Walking to the back of the shrine, where a projection of a sacred tree is located, you can see that a large tree that is nearly five meters tall is thriving.

Compared to the hot weather outside, it is significantly cooler here.

Too much energy is absorbed into the body by the sacred tree as part of its natural energy.

The leaves fluttering with the breeze emit a dark green light, and from a distance, they seem to be indistinguishable from ordinary trees.

After Gu Shanbushui approached, he made a vertical leap to the top of the canopy, and saw that in the center of several leaves, there was a small flower bag that was swallowing energy essence.

Absorbing a huge amount of natural energy, just this extent, made Gu Shanbu Shui a little disappointed.

Over time, the rate at which the sacred tree absorbs natural energy will level off, and it will not grow very quickly without great changes or large sacrifices.

Originally, Gu Shanbushui planned to cultivate the first Divine Tree fruit at the end of this year and early next year, but now it seems that he has thought too much.

The amount of natural energy and chakra required to produce a Divine Tree Fruit was much more than expected.

The growth rate of the seedling stage is the fastest, and the ninja world has accumulated for thousands of years, and it is indeed very rich.

With the passage of time, the ninja world as a whole has not become stronger rapidly, and it is inevitable that the concentration of natural energy will decrease.

At this time, the ninja chakra is needed to make up for it.

"If you don't interfere, within two years, you can bear a Divine Tree fruit, and it will be good. This...

… It's too slow, it's not urgent!"

If, like in the past, he helped Kaguya Otsuki make a "wedge", he made sacrifices at every turn, which was tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs.

The ninja world is a good place, "releasing water to raise fish" for so long, it is not easy to have such a scale, and suddenly under the "desperate net", the big and small fish in it are all fished, how can it be "sustainable" in the future?

In an instant, Gu Shanbu Shui couldn't help but pay attention to the death mask, and the half-pulled nine-tails were on it.

"Do you want to put it out and use it as a battery?"

"You can do it yourself."

Otsuki Kaguya itself doesn't care about the Yin Nine-Tails, even if it's actually part of the Ten Tails that he owns.

It doesn't matter if you have a little less energy, take a little time, absorb natural energy, and you will be able to replenish it quickly.

"Use it as a back-hand, in case you need it, you can use it somewhere, now, don't be in a hurry, anyway, I don't have to fight any strong enemies now."

In any case, Naruto Uzumaki is an important combat force in the plan to defend against the "Visitors from the Sky", and it is not good to be really killed.

Without these destined saviors charging into battle, wouldn't that be the first time that Major Governor Gushan would have to take action himself?

That's too dangerous!

God knows how powerful the next big barrel wood clan person to come to the ninja world is, and what magical abilities they have?

It's important to reap the benefits, but you can't really play the ninja world away.
