Ninja Ice House

On the surface, today's Kabuto Yakushi is an excessively "late bloomer" genin. He is over 18 years old and is still a little-known Konoha bud. His partners have changed several times. Most of his former teammates have been promoted to chuunin and are active.

On all fronts, only Kabuto Yakushi is still a little transparent, and does not stand out among the older genin.

Despite Yakushi Kabuto's tender face, he is actually about the same age as Umino Yinruka, Mizuki and others, and not much younger than Kosugi Fusui.

Affected by external factors, there is a slight difference in the age at which everyone enters the ninja school. In addition, there is a huge difference in the level of development during childhood. There is also a phenomenon that the lower grades are older than the upper grades.

He has not yet become a chuunin at this age, and there are not only one or two in Konoha Village, so Yakushi Kabuto is not very conspicuous.

As for the so-called training potential, basically no one would regard Yakushi Kabuto as the future pillar of Konoha Village. After several years of training, he would become a chuunin, devote himself to various fields of Konoha Village like Umino Yinruka, and contribute conscientiously.

Being able to become a special jounin in the future is probably a reflection of their life, if he is not Orochimaru's spy.

Even at this time, Red Copper Kai and Ken Meicheng, future teammates, are apparently "seniors" that Kabuto Yakushi cannot match.

The unusual sincerity made Yakushi Kabuto plan very actively, and it was natural that he was seeking benefits for Orochimaru, and at the same time laying the foundation for his own status.

The tentative contact with the Gushan family was just a "casual game" without much hope, a chance to try for possible excess returns. Even if it failed, it was just some failed experiments that were about to be "scrapped".

What Yakushi Kabuto didn't expect was that a fat little man named Jirobo was considered a failure and was not far from being abandoned, but he was selected to participate in the final death survival test and was randomly thrown into the "King of Fighting" competition.

After challenging the youth group, he was accidentally caught by the "foresighted" Major Gu Shan.

…

At the private training ground on Yuqi Island, Gu Shan Bu Shui and a vigorous figure were practicing physical skills.

The two fought back and forth, but judging from the situation, Gu Shan Bu Shui was obviously at a disadvantage.

In terms of absolute speed and strength, Gu Shan Bu Shui's disadvantage is not very big, but in actual combat, in terms of physical skills, Gu Shan Bu Shui is not at the same level as his opponent.

Being able to fight for so long was not only because Gushan Bu Shui had a solid foundation and was indeed somewhat capable, but also because the opponent did not try his best.

Ten minutes later, the sparring session ended. The servants came forward to hand over towels and warm tea, and a specialized therapist massaged the two of them.

After the pain all over his body dissipated a little, Gu Shan Bu Shui officially sent an invitation to the other party:

"If you don't mind, then you will be the personal taijutsu consultant of the Gusugi clan, Master Ryūtōin!"

"Young Governor is so polite. I'm very grateful for such courtesy."

The man's name is Ryuudouin Akira, and he is the top taijutsu and steel fist master in the ninja world that Kosugi Fusui can find.

Like the Konoha Fluid Technique used by Metkai, Ryuudouin Boxing is a type of lethal body jutsu that combines speed, strength and skill. In terms of informality and eagerness for quick success, it is better than Metkai who is hard at work.

It also needs to be radical, and in actual combat, even a little cruel.

For example, the former is analogous to Israeli Krav Maga or Muay Thai, which is a military fighting technique and a black boxing method; the latter is Karate or Taekwondo, which not only focuses on actual combat, but also takes into account performance and appreciation.

It's not that Ryuudouin's boxing technique is better than Konoha's Ryugang Fist. A real master can use either one with ease. It's just that in terms of life and death fighting, Ryuudouin's Akira has a better chance of winning.

"I heard that the master and the Konoha ninja Metkai have competed many times, and each has won or lost?"

"That thick eyebrow? When I took on the challenge for the first time, I understood that even if I can still be slightly better now, I will be surpassed in the future. That guy is a real genius..."

"Konoha Village has beautiful mountains and clear waters, outstanding people, and all kinds of geniuses emerge in endlessly. It is indeed enviable."

Gu Shan Bu Shui responded with a smile,

"I deeply admire your strength. Next, I will trouble you to worry about the physical training courses for Xianglin and the other little guys."

"As it should be."

"In addition, I don't care how you want to teach Longtangyuan Boxing, as long as it allows them to make up for their shortcomings."

In the future, I have to follow the ninja route. It is impossible to become a pure taijutsu ninja. The cruel cross-taijutsu method is not suitable for most girls. Even Gushan Bushui himself is not willing to learn it.

He cut off people's hands and feet at the slightest disagreement, greeted Xia Sanlu without hesitation, and used punches to attack the enemy's vital points, which made noble people like Gu Shan Bu Shui intimidated.

"I understand that I once served as a tutor for some noble children."

"That way, I feel relieved."

There are still some outstanding talents in the ninja world, such as Ryuudouin Akira in front of him. His talent in physical skills is no worse than that of Metkai, but his family's boxing skills are not as high as the upper limit of the Eight Gate Dungeon Formation.

Now that the deal is settled, things have to start right away.

Gusugi Bushui is also willing to witness every step of his daughter Xianglin's growth, and will accompany her to practice ninjutsu when she has time.

However, most basic exercises are boring and time-consuming, and Gushan Bu Shui doesn't have that much free time to waste on waiting.

Gu Shanbu Shui didn't want to do the trivial tasks that could be done by his subordinates.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of handing out invitations to fighters in the "King of Fighting" challenge, Gu Shan Bu Shui contacted this martial arts master with a good reputation.

The other party just thought about it for a while and then said:

"There is one thing that needs to be made clear to the young governor in advance. I have three incompetent children, who are a little older than the noble daughters of the young governor's family. They are in the critical period of growth and have also practiced the boxing skills of the Longtangyuan family, so...

"

When Ryutangin Akira said this, Gushan Bushui understood.

After all, he is a master who can fight with Metkai in his prime for 300 rounds without deciding the outcome. Someone must inherit the family's boxing skills.

"It's human nature, and our Gushan family is not unreasonable. We are superficial tyrants who only use money and squeeze manpower. As long as the master can serve the Gushan family wholeheartedly, your three children can also be received nearby.

, it doesn’t even matter if you are just a spectator, Ninjutsu training is an endless competition, and there must always be several competitors to make it interesting.

"Young Governor Yingming, I have no other requests."

Enough money is given, face is given, and small selfishness is satisfied. There is no more pleasant cooperation than this.

After Ryuudouin Akira left, Ryoshige, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out, raised his head and asked:

"Done?"

"Um!"

Gu Shanbu Shui rubbed his sore eye sockets, sighed and said,

"It is really difficult to hire a reliable tutor to help your children study."

In my previous life, I saw many parents who hoped that their children would be successful and their daughters would be successful. In order to prevent their children from losing at the starting line, I don’t know what they did.

Gu Shanbu Shui, who is now a father, has experienced similar feelings.

Having a highly motivated child is certainly not a bad thing, but the Kosugi family does not have a strong tradition of ninjutsu practice, and there are also some loyal servants under their command.

"I used to be forced to learn this and that by various teachers. It was very annoying. Now that I have grown up, I have more troublesome knowledge to learn. But now, I can't find a teacher."

You only have one chance in life. Many times, if you make the wrong choice, you don't even have the chance to correct it. Saying this, Liangzhong sat down opposite Gushan Bushui with a carefree attitude.

"So, you ran away from home again and came to visit my house during the Chinese New Year?"

"I personally want to get some air, and my father and grandfather also want me to take shelter for a while."

"Um?"

There was something in the words, Gu Shan Bu Shui couldn't help but feel attracted to it,

"What's the problem?"

"The daimyo's illness was very serious at one time, and my father almost died before he died. Fortunately, the few decoctions given by Bu Shui were very effective, and I was able to survive the winter, but..."

Liangzhong continued worriedly,

"My hands and feet are a little weak, and they are far less strong than before."

As you get older, it's normal to have some minor health problems, but this year it's been particularly serious.

According to Liangshige's description, it should be a relatively dangerous stroke. Although I survived this time, I don't know if my life will be as good next time.

"Grandpa, how do you feel now? It's obviously so serious, why didn't you notify me?"

"It's not just you, my aunt also found out very late. She will not officially inform you until the crisis is over and there is definite information."

"Wait...I probably understand."

In the final analysis, it is still the same thing as the daimyo is critically ill and his descendants seize power.

Although there is no conflict between the daimyo and the Fusagi family, there are some things that no one will care about unless you argue about them.

Kosugi Bushui's mother has a legitimate right of inheritance. Kosugi Bushui is not only the only young governor of the Kosugi family, but also the grandson of the current daimyo.

Everyone agrees on the theoretical ranking of inheritance rights, but there are some things that cannot be explained logically.

This strange environment in the ninja world means that the daughter, son-in-law, and adopted son of a large noble family have the right to inherit. In some cases, the son-in-law is even higher than the daughter.

As for the concubine, he can share some of the family property, but the name and family reputation are definitely out of the question. Unless all the direct descendants of the clan are extinct, only the concubine can stand out.

There are female daimyo in the ninja world, and there are not just one or two.

Uncle and Ryoshige believed that Princess Ruri and Kosugi Bosui had no intention of seizing the power of the daimyo, but what if someone took the risk and got "yellow robed"?

"This time, when my grandfather was seriously ill, some people became restless. In view of this, my grandfather decided to wait until spring and then take advantage of the opportunity to abdicate the throne and allow my father to succeed the daimyo in advance."

I was able to wake up smoothly this time without any trouble, but it will be hard to say next time.

After listening to Liangzhong talking for a long time, Gu Shanbu Shui thought for a while and then responded slowly:

"That's fine. Grandpa can rest in peace and recuperate from now on, so don't worry too much anymore."

Being a daimyo is actually quite easy, but becoming a good daimyo, especially one from the Land of Fire, is really a test.

A heavy burden is carried on one shoulder, and hundreds of millions of subjects rely on the king to be wise and his ministers to be wise, and their own lives will be a little easier.

Now that Liangshige has arrived, his parents should also have received the news.

"So, you came out to hide from trouble?"

"That's what it means, but it's more than that. The guardian nin... seems a little unstable."

"how come?"

He has just reached an agreement with Kazuma to jointly raise his son Sora. There should be no conflict between the two.

Ryoshige explained:

"The leader and the horse are a little dissatisfied with the daimyo's retirement. In the past many years, they have carried out actions around the daimyo. Once the daimyo is changed, what will happen in the future? Will the previous promises still count?"

If a daimyo dies due to illness and his destiny has arrived, it cannot be changed by human power, and it will not cause too many people to be dissatisfied.

"In the Fire Country, except for coups, there is no example of the previous daimyo taking over the position before the death of the succeeding daimyo. The final fate of a daimyo who has lost power is either to be killed, or to find a temple to become a monk and to be in seclusion without being able to leave.

Ask about secular matters.”

"What does this have to do with the Guardian Ninja? Their mission is to protect the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. Who is the Daimyo who listens to whom? As for making a big fuss?"

"Now... there are two daimyo. The daimyo who abdicated is also a daimyo. And..."

After speaking, Liangzhong lowered his voice and whispered,

"My grandfather seems to have promised something to Kazuma and has been preparing for it for a long time. Once my father comes to power, I can't say whether he will recognize it or not."

Once the emperor and the courtiers changed their names, some naturally fell into decline while others prospered. There is no such thing as "the laws of the ancestors are immutable". What's more, it is impossible to announce to the public what is promised in private.

.

"You know what the key is?"

"I don't know, I just know it's related to Konoha Village."

Well, regarding the fight for "Jade", the daimyo and the Hokage have fought it out countless times.

Kazuma respects his benefactor, but it is difficult for him to recognize Gushan Bushui's uncle, the heir apparent of the Fire Nation.

In fact, Kosugi Bosui's uncle is more friendly to Konoha Village than his grandfather.

The old man who came from the Warring States Period had seen the power of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, and was very wary of ninjas. If there was another strong man who could dominate the world, the prestige of the Fire Country Daimyo would be even weaker.

When the prince grew up, the arrogant era of Konoha Village passed, and the attitudes of the two generations towards ninjas changed subtly.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

"Kazuma... doesn't like my father. He needs a stronger and more prestigious daimyo. My father is still a little too weak and does not meet his requirements."

As he spoke, Liangzhong looked at Gushan Bushui strangely and said,

"Privately, I feel that he may have taken a fancy to my eldest cousin. A famous person who follows the rules is far less useful than you who are young, energetic and full of ideas."

"I probably understand."

If it was Kazuma, Gusugi Bosui thought he could do such a thing.

Even if it is not Gu Shan Bu Shui, Liang Zhong who is too young to control the situation, or Princess Liuli who does not have a strong desire for power, they are all good candidates.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it. Everything is under control."

How could Major Governor Gu Shan, who had long expected that such a day would come, be controlled by the "leader of the soldiers"?
