Chapter 454: Progress

Sasuke Uchiha, who is not stable enough and doesn't know much about the world, is not very familiar with the way adults speak.

In the end, he is only a fourteen-year-old child, and his emotions are still prone to extremes, and he is quite uncomfortable with the way of dealing with big forces, not talking about right and wrong, and only talking about gains and losses.

Uchiha Sasuke, who was stunned for a while, and then understood what the other party meant, lowered his head and pondered for a while before asking tentatively:

"We...... In fact, I don't have the ability to come up with something that can impress the Furusugi family."

"Chips...... It doesn't have to be entirely yourself, and it's not impossible to be generous to others, if you have the ability."

Tatsumi's words made Uchiha Sasuke suddenly enlightened.

Isn't that what it means to let yourself grab it and then exchange it?

It doesn't matter if you don't have it, others have it, as long as you have the ability to turn other people's things into your own, everything is not a problem.

"You...... Is this going to use us as gunmen?"

"We didn't force you, everything...... It's all your choice."

Tatsumi and Wind Demon Lan couldn't help but glance at each other, and then smiled mysteriously,

"All the consequences are due to one's own choices, and no one else is to blame."

"I see, let me think about it."

After saying that, Uchiha Sasuke got up and left with Hayashio Yuri and Lao Zi.

Looking at the distant figures of a few people, Wind Demon Lan asked playfully:

"Will he agree?"

"Actually, I have already agreed, but for the sake of face, I didn't promise on the spot. He...... I don't have to choose ......."

Tatsumi made a judgment with great certainty.

The situation in the ninja world is like this, the world is so big, there are only a few who can influence the general trend, although there are many forces in the south of the country of wind, but there are only a few who have strength. Zahezhong and Bajieji are very strong, but it is not enough to be able to play when they plant a flag and establish a business, no one takes it to play, and it is not easy to go to the table and change from a chess piece to a chess player.

Although the name of the Uchiha is loud, the Uchiha Sasuke, who is alone, does not have the ability, and he has learned from Senju Tsuruma and Madara Uchiha to create something out of nothing and lay the foundation of a great ninja village.

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

On Chinese New Year's Eve, after Gu Shanbushui presided over the "slaughter" festival, there was not much business to do, and the rest was to enjoy the comfort of the New Year Festival and a rare reunion time.

When he opened his eyes to see the world, Gusugizumi's sensitivity to light was very low, and under his ultra-high myopia, in addition to being able to distinguish his relatives in the near distance, it was very blurry when he was a little farther away.

Even so, it didn't affect him from looking at the world with interest.

Especially recently, it coincides with the busiest period of the island, and the nobles who come and go enjoy a rare open holiday on this small island. On weekdays, most of the island is closed, and only during this time is the public allowed to come in and enjoy the game.

The birth of Gu Shanbushui's youngest son also relieved the retainers under his command.

It has been several generations, there has been no effective marriage, and the bond between master and servant is very weak. If the main family is all daughters, they can only recruit money, and in this case, the rhythm of strong alliances is broken.

The prince needs to avoid suspicion, and the princess's degree of freedom is much higher. With the power of the Gushan family, how many nouveau riche who do not envy their "relatives" who have ascended to the sky?

Even so, everyone did not neglect to pay attention to the eldest daughter, Xiang Phosphorus.

There are more and more signs that the young governor of Gushan is cultivating fragrant phosphorus according to the standard of the heir, and he does not even rule out the possibility of recruiting others.

It is a pity to send the outstanding children of the family out to join the family, but it will not be too much of a loss.

Gushan Zhengcheng plays his important role inconspicuously, although most of the glory is attributed to Gushan, Yasukawa has no loss, the children of the family headed by Yaskawa Zaihara were carried by Gushan Bushui, filled with various key departments, from a medium-sized wealthy family, to one of the most important ministers, if there is no such opportunity, there is no struggle of three or five generations,

It won't work out at all.

If his own children can win the favor of Gu Shanbushui's eldest daughter, it must be a great thing.

It's just that, like her father Gu Shanbu Shui, she has been ninja educated since she was a child, and she really doesn't have much in common with ordinary noble children.

At the annual meeting, after politely and decently saying goodbye to the young people sent by each family, Xiang Phosphorus showed a little tiredness on his face, returned to the back hall, and gathered in the courtyard with a few acquaintances.

Yayoi, Shiro, Hinata Hinata and others, playing cards in the conservatory.

As for why Hinata Hinata came here, at the invitation of Furusugi Bushui, Hinata Hinata brought his family and close relatives here for a vacation.

Hinata Hinata is not the first time to come to Shiki Island, but it is the first time to enter the Furusugi family and play with everyone.

The young Hanabi played with his older siblings for a while, and was pulled by Hiiragi to play the sleigh.

There are also uncles and aunts who are obviously older generations, but Chinatsu and Ikki, who are regarded as younger brothers and sisters because they are young, and several people have a lot of fun, and no one seems to shake their enthusiasm in the cold winter.

It's a few ninja dogs who are busy making children happy, and they're really tired enough.

As for Ayumi and Izumi, they were taken by their parents and went to other places.

Seeing Xiang Phosphorus coming over, he stood not far away and opened a table, playing a new game of "Monopoly", and at the same time served as guards and servants, Kaguya-kun Mario, Yuhuo and others, immediately got up and said hello.

Yayoi, who had been waiting for a long time, beckoned and complained:

"It's finally here, change it quickly, I've lost badly during this time. They must have teamed up to cheat......

"You can't blame anyone else for losing, you're unlucky, your skills are too poor, it's not like we want to win your pocket money."

Bai said with a smile, and the honest Hinata Hinata grabbed the cards and laughed, not knowing how to deal with the half-truths and half-truths.

"I'm going to play? You're afraid you're not going to be harvested! Secretly attaching chakra to the card, in my perception, is basically an open card, more exaggerated than Hinata's white eyes......

"I'm not playing cards with my eyes open......

Hinata, who was laughing, sat down and asked curiously,

"The party over there?"

"Hmm. Many of them I don't know very well, and a large part of them are still retainers who have followed us Gushan for hundreds of years, and they are loyal, even if some of them have declined, and the descendants will not be successful, so they have to give some face."

"Big families have troubles, too."

The elders had a drinking party on another occasion, and the young people got together to bond with each other, and this is how the circle was built.

The name of Gushan relied on such connections and order to continue to operate for thousands of years.

When Xiang Phosphorus inherits the family business in the future, those people are all retainers under his command, and they have to let them actually deal with whatever they want to do in the future.

Grabbed the juice drink on the stone table, poured himself a glass of fragrant phosphorus, and drank it full.

In fact, the thoughts of those people are not incomprehensible.

On the occasion of handsome men and beauties, there is more or less the attribute of friendship, if you can talk, the two families will sum it up, and it looks good, and you can plan a marriage.

Those young boys who think they are excellent come to their side, what is it for, Xiang Phosphorus also knows, but it is one thing to understand, and it is another thing to look at it or not.

It's not that all the children of the nobility are embroidered pillows, some of them are still very educated, whether it is personality or talent, they are very good, but they are not the same people as Xiang Phosphorus.

After a few sighs, Xiang Phosphorus looked at the younger brothers and sisters who were playing in the snow in the distance, and his mood was a little more relaxed.

"At this time of year, I should be very happy, but as I get older, I have more troubles. When I was Hiiragi's age, I didn't worry much about it, except for practicing hard and looking forward to seeing my parents together, there was nothing else."

"Miss Xiangpho has a strong sense of responsibility, we are both young and have time to grow up slowly."

Bai with a light smile comforted, Xiang Phosphorus glanced at the few people present, and finally his eyes fell on Bai,

"Your brother isn't much younger than Hiiragi, isn't it, why don't you bring it over and play with you?"

"The little guy is too naughty, for fear of colliding with the nobles, and the parents are not at ease."

"Our family is not so unkind, it is normal for bear children to get into trouble, and they will not be angry with others. Look at our family, there are only so many children of similar age, and most of the accompaniments sent by the retainers outside have their own thoughts, and there are not many who can really play together without worry."

Xiang Phosphorus was quite lonely when she was a child, and her younger siblings were slightly better.

Speaking of this topic, it's actually quite boring, the main family wants to be more close to the people, but the people below are really not necessarily open.

There is no saying in the ninja world that "a companion is like a tiger", but how to get along with the children of noble people and play happily together is really not an easy task.

After a few words of greeting, Xiang Phosphorus asked in dialogue:

"I heard that your teacher plans to apply for the Shinobi Qualification Test for you after the beginning of the year, is it true?"

"Yes."

Bai replied earnestly,

"I took the initiative to mention it to Mr. Hayama, and the other party also agreed very much, as for whether it will be successful or not, it depends on what the five generations say."

"The number of high-level ninjas in Konoha Village is currently a bit stretched, and you should hope for a large one. As a senior, you're off to a good start."

"Is Miss Kazo also going to be promoted to Shangnin? It's only been a little over a year, isn't it too rushed?"

Shiro asked a little strangely,

"It's not that you're not qualified, it's ......"

"Not really, right?"

Aromatic phosphorus was directly exposed,

"Actually, I can still be a ninja for a few years, I can't say, my father's meaning, as long as I'm willing to stay there, I don't have to worry about my family. However, there are some responsibilities that will have to be shouldered sooner or later."

If he could, Xiang Phosphorus planned to choose to retire at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and return to the family at a similar age as his father Gu Shanbushui dropped out of school.

Judging from Xiang Li's own observations, his father Gu Shanbu Shui is actually a little impatient with the management of the family affairs, and many small things are handed over to the people below, except for some who have to be personally taken care of by the main family, basically not directly controlled.

In this way, part of the housekeeping was handled by the mother's order from the inner house, and as for the grandfather Furusugi Masakoto and grandmother Princess Ruri, they gradually began to take a back seat and enjoy life in a leisurely manner.

When the time is right, Kaori plans to take care of a little for her parents, even if they don't need to, which is not a reason for Kaho to be out playing "ninja games" all the time.

It's just that in this way, some things have to be prepared in advance.

Those who can come to the Gushan family to attend the annual meeting, or even have a small gathering in private, are not ordinary people.

With so many young men and women from prominent families in the front hall, who is qualified to be invited here by Xiang Pho himself?

Not far away, I saw Xiang Phosphorus talking to his friends, interacting with Bai from time to time, playing games and winning chips, but he was not happy at all.

Fujido Kasumi on the side stabbed Yuhuo's waist with his elbow.

"What, you want to go to that table?"

"No, I just think that guy Bai is too uninteresting."

"In your mind, anyone who has the possibility of beating Miss Xiangpho's idea needs to be guarded, right?"

Some are not grounded, and the temper is still a little fiery Fujido Xiangcheng, sometimes it is very direct to look at the problem,

"I think Bai is not bad, strong, handsome and elegant, innocent, upright, and emotional, and a person who knows how to repay his kindness. Normal girls of the same age should have a good impression of him, at least they won't be repulsed, why don't you like him so much?"

"People are not ruthless enough, the heir of the Gushan family, can't be too naïve, Miss Xiangfu is too good, if you recruit another one who is not decisive enough to kill, I'm afraid it will make the people below lose their vigilance."

Is this something you have to think about?"

"I'm a personal maid, so naturally I have to think about the young master and the young lady."

"And who do you think is suitable?"

"Huh?"

The cold fishing fire tilted his head and thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find a more suitable person than Bai.

"So, don't aspire to perfection, there is no one in this world who is specially prepared for you."

Fujido Kasumi shrugged,

"Then again, Sister Yuhuo, you're almost seventeen years old this year, older than Jun Malu, isn't it time to think about your life's events? You can't be a maid for the rest of your life......

"There's nothing wrong with that, I've been here for seven or eight years, and I'm used to it. The outside world is not as comfortable as here......

"If you don't go out for a walk too much, where will you find your fate?"

Fujido Kasumi looked at Kusanagi Kyo, who was smiling and throwing dice, and Kaguya-kun Maro, who was carving something with a bone knife on his own, and couldn't help but sigh,

"You say, is it because the girls around us are not attractive enough, or the boys around us are not hormonally secreted enough? There is no sign of Mu Shao Ai at all......

At the same time, in the conference room hundreds of meters away, Gu Shanbu Shui was discussing something with Terumi who had come from afar.

"If you want me to introduce you and let the Fog Hidden Village and Konoha Village join forces to intervene in the situation in the Land of Winds, I'm afraid it's not necessary for us Gushan. Anyway, no matter what the result is, we need to approve it, after all, there are already more than 30,000 auxiliaries, 6,000 samurai, 800 heavy cavalry, plus three mixed fleets, so there is no need to end up in person......
