Chapter 383: An Unexpected Encounter
What Gu Shanbushui has done over the years is almost contrary to the current main tone of the ninja world - the passionate and high-spirited atmosphere.
"You know, you're not much of a positive person!"
Faced with the ridicule of his partner for many years, Gu Shanbushui shrugged indifferently.
"A true hero, when encountering difficulties, can always overcome all difficulties, go through a lot of hardships, solve problems, and get a happy ending. I am a more realistic person, and behind the glamorous surface of this world, there is a fallacy that goes deep into the bone marrow and the risk of overturning at any time. Since I am not a child of fate, I naturally will not choose a relatively troublesome means to solve the problem......"
"Just because you can eliminate the problem doesn't mean it's foolproof!"
"If you can't cure the root cause, you can treat the symptoms. Some problems will no longer be a problem with the development of time and the progress of society. β
"There are still a lot of problems, and the dust of history cannot hide them."
"Believe in the wisdom of posterity."
The young family governor, who was full of indifference, checked the state of the divine tree, and after it seemed that there was no abnormality, he retracted the chakra perception with satisfaction.
In the invisible horizon of ordinary people, a giant tree standing up to the sky and the earth, with its fine branches, runs through almost all corners of the world, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, absorbing wisps of natural energy, supplying the fruit of the sacred tree, and promoting its ripening.
Behind him, the big barrel of wood Kaguya asked nonchalantly:
"Treating the symptoms and curing the root cause? I don't think you care about these things at all, you just don't bother to get involved in right and wrong, you don't want to solve the problem, you just want to eliminate the problem, and even, eliminate the person who caused the problem and raised the problem. β
"Is there something wrong?"
Gu Shanbushui was not embarrassed at all and asked,
"The so-called conflict and contradiction, in essence, are two different 'justices' that are incompatible with each other! Sand Shinobi wants to expand their living space, what's wrong? The rich land, the country of fire grabbed it first, it is its own, why give it to others? Nagato, Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha, all of them are fighting for world peace, even their families, relatives and friends, how great is it? Even Hei Jue is loyal, and wants to help you, the mother, get out of trouble, what's wrong? Since everyone is right, it can't be the world, right? Standing in my position, I didn't want to be wronged, so I had to ask some people to die. As for whether they are good or bad, good or evil, what does it have to do with me? β
The essence of the operation of the ninja world is so cruel.
The existence of extraordinary power smooths out the differences between different species to the greatest extent, and at the same time gives the conditions for the intensification of contradictions.
If you're not careful, the ninja world will be over.
In the previous life, so many frightening natural and man-made disasters, even if they were blown up and destroyed hundreds of times, only the human civilization on the surface of the earth was destroyed, and even if it was detonated at the same time, it may not be able to turn the earth into a forbidden area for life, and some microorganisms and insects and small mammals with tenacious vitality are very likely to survive and become the masters of the new world.
The ninja world is different, the existence of true gods and creatures of the same level makes the destruction of the world no longer an exaggerated joke.
The entire ninja world is at risk of being completely destroyed.
In this case, what principles and bottom lines are simply a joke.
In the previous ninja wars, I don't know how many of them died without even a name.
Don't look at the success of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha in saving the world, I think they are amazing, who should they cry out to for the nameless who lost their lives behind their backs?
"Don't blame me for not having a decent mind, my family and friends, strictly speaking, are not even righteous partners, we belong to the dragon trap that can be eliminated at will, everything is to save the lives of myself and my loved ones. Wars have never stopped, and it's not just ninja wars that wars, it's really hard for people who aren't favored by fate to live in peace and stability......"
"A sense of crisis, so strong ......"
Gu Shanbu Shui summed it up as a matter of course:
"You are immortal, you are defeated by your own son, and you can't kill it, but you are sealed, and there is a chance to be resurrected after a thousand years, but we people don't have this ability, if you are killed, you will really die."
"You...... Sure enough, it is a traverser, and there is a lack of fundamental identification and empathy for the indigenous humans of this world, but fortunately, you recognize the power of blood and human affection, otherwise, you may become a demon of destruction who is even more terrible than a visitor from outside the world. β
Inadvertent malice, the person who takes it for granted to say things like "please die, it has nothing to do with you", when he turns into an enemy, is the one who is really terrifying.
"It's not that I have evil intentions, it's just that it makes the world look more normal, so that more people's lives have more possibilities. As long as I don't go against what I want to do, I don't exclude giving other people a ride. Expecting me to sacrifice myself for others and destroy my family to relieve my hardships is probably too much. What's more, because of what I did, there were obviously more people who benefited than those who suffered, and to say that I was a bad person was to look at the problem from the standpoint of ninjas, especially Konoha ninjas. In fact, they may not think that I am cheating on them, and in the future, they may have to thank us. β
"Probably! Human beings are very forgetful creatures, and they will soon forget the past! β
After returning to the family station, Gu Shanbu Shui suddenly received a strange piece of information.
"Momochi and the dried persimmon ghost shark joined forces to launch a rebellion, intending to coup d'Γ©tat, and defected after failure?"
When Gu Shanbushui knew this, he immediately threw the information into the incinerator.
"Learn from Konoha Village and Uchiha Itachi to play bitter meat tricks, counter-plots, and I'm not afraid to get rid of them."
The information of Wuyin Village, Gu Shanbu Shui didn't believe it at all, this ninja village, even if there were years of reform of Goji Yakura, the control was still very low, and it was normal for each other to calculate, so there were few pieces of information that were really credible.
However, it was the news that Lin Yuyu passed from Youli that made Gu Shanbushui believe it a little.
"If Taodi doesn't kill again, it's really a defection, but the dried persimmon ghost shark may not be sincere, it may be that he has the intention of being a multi-faceted spy."
The brain of the dried persimmon ghost shark is not very good, and the loyalty to the purpose of the fourth generation of Mizukage can still be guaranteed, if it is not for the approval of the boss, the possibility of defection is extremely small.
In addition, Terumi repelled the joint attack of Momochi Zaibu and Dried Persimmon Ghost Shark with her own strength, which really surprised Gu Shanbushui.
This Mizukage heir is indeed very powerful, but Momochi and Dry Persimmon Oni are not weak, and they are not easy to deal with the decapitation knife and shark muscle respectively.
The information of Wuyin Village, Gu Shanbu Shui didn't care much, the key was whether the transaction request made to them to buy chakra could be executed.
Soon, the information from Wuyin Village made the young governor temporarily relieved.
At the end of this year, at the beginning of next year, we must cultivate the fruit of the Divine Tree and swallow it smoothly, so as to become the leader who truly controls the absolute power, instead of worrying that someone will kill the family residence and ruin many years of hard work as it is now.
-----------------
Some news that is not big or small is circulating in the ninja world, but there are very few empirical evidences, since the power of the ancient sugi family withdrew in Konoha Village, the originally prosperous villages and towns have shown signs of withering.
Even so, it was much more prosperous than the peak of the decades before the night of the Uchiha's extermination.
The withdrawal of capital once had a negative impact on this small but very wealthy village and town.
Fortunately, the resilience of the Konoha ninjas is indeed very strong, and they have survived the painful period of real estate handover.
There are rich people, and the large and small traders who were once a little disappointed in this place gather again.
Of course, it is definitely not as blazing as it was when it was controlled by the Furusugi family.
The nearby town of Shinjuku took over the assets of the Furusugi family's retreat, and catalyzed this post station, which was originally just a collection of palaces, manors and inns, into a place even more lively than Konoha Village.
In particular, the special customs service area that is not good for outsiders has attracted many people from the south to the north to come to enjoy.
This is a capital distribution center controlled by the Gushan family.
At present, it seems that the Konoha ninjas, who have taken a great advantage, are embarrassed to drive this village away again.
Doing business inside Konoha Village was run on, and when it came to the outside of the village, it was a bit out of place for the Konoha ninja to make irresponsible remarks.
The ruler of the country, it is the daimyo, not the ninja.
Since the first winter snow fell, the temperature in the northern part of the ninja world has plummeted, and the lively atmosphere of Shinjuku Town has not been weakened in the slightest.
Not only the custom industry, but also the gambling house street that gathers leeks from all walks of life, this year also ushered in the legendary "big fat sheep".
The "Big Fat Sheep" and her attendants, who came to this place for the first time, had just borrowed a huge sum of three million, and they didn't even hold it up for two hours, and they lost everything.
The scolding "Big Fat Sheep" walked into a tavern, and when he was about to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, he found a white-haired ninja who was hugging two drinking women and carnivaling.
Encountering it unexpectedly in this kind of place, it is naturally embarrassing for him, and Tsunade, who just lost and wanted to run away to avoid debts, also felt that his face was gloomy.
"Long time no see, what a coincidence, haha......"
"Coincidentally? Possibly! β
"Would you like a drink?"
"If you only drink, it's not impossible!"
Anyway, I don't have much money left, and I can't afford to drink good wine.
Approaching with a big grin, the escort girls who were quite eye-catching naturally left quietly and let the main lord speak.
A small glass of sake was down, and Tsunade said with some bitterness:
"I haven't been back for a few years, and there is such a good place on my doorstep, which is...... It's too big, even I feel a little struggling, rich people in the ninja world, are there so many? β
"Here...... It is also divided into fields, and you may go to a gambling house specially prepared for big dealers from all over the world. There are also good places that are a little 'lighter'. β
"You know a lot."
"I used to meet and talk to the person in charge here. It's just a pastime, a small gamble is pleasant, a big gamble hurts the body, what net worth, what grade of the game, not a circle, don't melt hard. There, gambling money is secondary, and the key is a place for big businessmen everywhere to have fun and exchange information by the way. You...... Probably in the wrong place......"
"I'll just say, why is my luck so bad, obviously my skills have improved a lot."
"This ...... It doesn't matter much! β
Zilai also laughed, and didn't dig deeper,
"This time you came back to visit the old man?"
"No, it's just a chance encounter, I want to see the new field......"
"This ...... Jiraiya-sama ......"
has been a little hesitant mute, holding the little pig guinea dolphin, plucking up the courage to sue,
"Actually, Tsunade-sama lost too badly, borrowed a lot of money, and lost it all, and there was no place to borrow money anymore, so I had to go to this newly opened place and try my luck."
"Shut up, how can I be so weak."
Tsunade, who was poked at the pain point, knocked on the student's head, and the other party screamed in pain to dodge, teary eyes, and wanted to help administer justice from the beginning, but unfortunately, he found the wrong person.
Jiraiya sighed as expected.
"This kind of thing is also addictive, and the village is currently in debt, but fortunately, the head of the Gushan family is not asking for money and dying, and is willing to help! The old man seems to have made a good deal, and in another two years, the debt will be almost repaid, and he will probably think about retiring. Some time ago, you asked me to go back to you as a fifth-generation ......."
"Come on, I'm looking for you, you don't want to, so you pulled me to cushion my back, right?"
Tsunade sneered, and pierced Jiraiya's careful thoughts,
"Didn't you keep saying you wanted to be the Hokage before? Now that it's at your fingertips, how can you back down? β
"I ...... There's still work to be done, there's no time to sit in the office and waste time......"
"Still looking for your Destiny Child?"
"This time it's different, it's a bit of a problem. The Great Toad Immortal has warned me several times......"
Since the beginning of the conversation,
"Lord Shengyue of the Wet Bone Forest, I didn't tell you?"
"She's not good at prophecy, and she's never been very concerned with the trivial matters of the ninja world......
"Yes!"
Jiraiya's slightly drunken eyes looked upward, as if through the roof, to see the flow of natural energy in the dark,
"Recently, I always have a feeling of panic, as if some kind of world destruction crisis is about to appear, this sign, not only me, but also the Zhima Immortal and the Fukasaku Immortal, have been perceived."
Regarding this point, the big toad immortal couldn't find a clue, but only warned to find the child of destiny as soon as possible, only he was the last hope to save the ninja world from fire and water.
"God is chattering, and I don't know how much it is true! I believe that those big toads have no malice, but wouldn't the so-called prophecy be a slouch and confuse dreams with reality? β
"What if...... Within a year, if I can't find the Child of Destiny, I'm going to go to the Land of Rain. ...... year The matter of the reincarnation eye, there is always some peace of mind. β
Jiraiya's low tone, as if he couldn't come back if he went, made Tsunade a little surprised.
It's just that this matter, except for Jiraiya himself, no one else is very clear, so there is no way to talk about it.
