Ninja Ice House

It is hard to imagine the scene of someone as arrogant as Uchiha Sasuke getting along with his classmates.

Even Xiang Rin and Uchiha Sasuke are not necessarily friends. The friendship that emerged from the competitive relationship between you and each other is not so close that they say too many private words.

The suggestion for Zuosuke to communicate more with his peers was just mentioned casually, and Xianglin did not take it to heart.

While the students were lazily perfunctory, Umino Inruka took the trouble to lecture, and then announced that school was over, and the children who had been impatient to wait quickly left in a hurry.

After everyone left one after another and said hello to Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura, Xiang Rin quickly found Uchiha Sasuke who was about to go home.

"What are you doing?"

"I have a little something to ask you. There is a maple forest outside the village. It is the property of your Uchiha family. Can you sell it?"

"Well?"

Uchiha Sasuke, who did not expect a female classmate to ask such a question, asked in shock,

"I don't know about this, you want to buy it?"

"Yes. The training ground in my manor is too small. If I want to train Sesshomaru and Yukimaru, there is not enough space."

The Gushan family is serious about buying land, but there are some things where it's really hard to discuss business directly. It's better to have a little ventilation to avoid embarrassment after the meeting.

"It turns out it is necessary for spiritual practice. I have to go back and ask my father to find out. It's hard to say too much now. Why don't you let my parents talk to my father directly? I can't talk about this kind of thing..."

"Let's ask first. If your family doesn't sell it, I'll ask Shikamaru. His medicine garden is so big that many areas are empty and unused. It's such a waste."

"Whether you need it or not is a private matter for other people's families. I know your family is rich, but some things cannot be bought with money."

"I know, you don't need to lecture me."

Xianglin waved her hands impatiently,

"The maple forest at the bend of the Kamogawa River in the south, make no mistake about it."

After saying that, Xiang Rin left simply. Uchiha Sasuke, who felt he was not respected, muttered a few words. After returning home, he mentioned the matter to Uchiha Fugaku.

One night later, Uchiha Fugaku and two of his confidants came to a maple forest where the river turned sharply and the water flowed quickly.

When the moon was obscured by dark clouds in the sky, and there was no other movement except for the chirping of frogs and insects, the sound of surging water came from the river. Under the gaze of several Sharingan, seven people wearing dark gray robes appeared.

The figure in uniform walked over from the bottom of the river.

"Is it the Uchiha clan leader?"

"It's me. Are you the contact person?"

Uchiha Fugaku frowned and looked at several strange and wet guys.

No need to try, at such a close distance, you can understand with chakra perception that the seven people on the opposite side are not much stronger, and a jounin can sweep them across effortlessly.

"I am the leader in charge of this negotiation. You can just call me 'Chai Zhou'. I am serving the patriarch on the orders of the young governor."

He came solemnly, but he was greeted by such a few crooked people. Uchiha Fugaku even doubted the sincerity of the other party.

"How are you going to operate?"

"The surrounding maple forest, as well as the nearby hills, were sold to the Fusagi family by the Uchiha family at a price that is 20% lower than the market valuation. Please make up an excuse. The negotiation time is one and a half months, giving you enough time.

Prepare. Forty-five days later at midnight, Uchiha will send those who need to be picked up here, and leave the rest to us."

"here?"

Uchiha Fugaku took a look at the surrounding situation. It was lined with green trees and lush greenery, and it was well hidden. However, the hydrological conditions were average. Although the river was wide, the current was too fast, making it unsuitable for berthing large ships.

"The number of people I discussed with the Major Governor is sixty, and most of them are children with average fighting ability. How do you send them away safely?"

"The patriarch is too worried. Not to mention sixty, six hundred is not a problem. Even six thousand people, with a little care, can come and go freely without anyone noticing."

After looking at Uchiha Fugaku's face, Chai Fushi smiled and said,

"It seems that if I don't show you something real, you won't be at ease."

After speaking, Chai Zhou clapped his hands rhythmically, and several huge strange fish suddenly rose from the water. They lined up neatly and swam to the shore, opening their big mouths like a small room three or four meters high.

At first glance, it looks like it can accommodate a dozen people. If you squeeze it in a little, it should be able to accommodate more than twenty people.

There are nine such big fish showing up. The shadows are moving under the water. It's really hard to tell how many killers there are.

"Underwater psychic beast, this is a good idea."

"As long as you are satisfied."

Chai Zhou said with great relief,

"I am just a subordinate who handles affairs. I have limited strength and lack of wisdom. What is better than loyalty is my loyalty. I obey the instructions of the young governor in everything. Since I am sent to solve the problems of the patriarch, I will naturally do my best."

"Looks good..."

In the territory of Konoha Village, escaping by land, water or air is very dangerous. There are many hidden barriers and secret posts nearby. If you are not careful, you will be caught.

"But, can these underwater psychic beasts escape White Eye's detection?"

"Which Hyuga tribesman would open his Byakugan and count the number of fish underwater? Of course, your worries are not unreasonable. Regarding this point, the Major Governor also mentioned that we already have a complete strategy on how to prevent the Byakugan. Even

, the patriarch has some knowledge about the pass and can still provide some help."

"Oh? The Gushan family has become so powerful? You don't even look down on it."

"We have the blood inheritance limit in hand that restrains Byakugan's insight ability. It has been proven to be very effective."

The blood inheritance limit that restrains the Byakugan?

Uchiha Fugaku was shocked, and immediately concealed his emotions and echoed:

"If that's the case, that would be perfect."

After saying that, Uchiha Fugaku handed over a thick booklet, which contained a list of Uchiha family members who were about to be sent out of Konoha Village.

Shiba Fushi also gave Uchiha Fugaku a scroll.

"Three channelings, limited to two months, expired and invalid. If necessary, you can directly contact the Young Governor."

Pressing his hood, Chai Zhou turned around and got into the big fish's mouth with several of his subordinates. As the strange fish dived, it disappeared into the night.

"Lord Patriarch, is this done?"

"How difficult can it be? Rather, the more complex the plan, the greater the possibility of failure due to accidents. Simple and direct is more effective."

Uchiha Fugaku said calmly,

"By the way, what happened this time also reminded me. The family property should be liquidated and taken away as soon as possible. If our family survives the difficulties, it will not be too late to buy back the property with money. Once something unexpected happens, this wealth can also become

The basis for revival.”

It would be a huge loss to just face the crisis of genocide head-on in such a stupid manner, and to benefit others with such a huge family fortune.

There are no special products in this piece of rotten land nearby, and the vast maple forests are allowed to grow freely. Only a few ethnic groups collect a little maple gum and make maple sugar for their own consumption when necessary.

The Uchiha family is not keen on farming to support the family or reclaiming manors. Even though there is a large area of ​​land near Konoha Village, the level of development is extremely low and it is basically not used much.

The profits of agriculture and animal husbandry in this era are too low. There are no modern irrigation facilities, and there are no synthetic ammonia factories to prepare chemical fertilizers. The amount of harvest depends largely on God's face.

In the past, these lands were frowned upon, not to mention selling them, but even paying money for them.

It’s not that it has no value, but taking over and developing the value of these lands and achieving positive returns requires a huge initial investment. Only by scaling up can costs be reduced and profits look better.

Ordinary people cannot afford it, wealthy families look down upon it, and the audience for the Uchiha family's block of land is too narrow.

"Is it going to be a fire sale? Is it too early? Some properties are still very valuable. If you sell them at a flat price, you won't be able to buy them back even if you raise the price."

"If the money is gone, as long as the family is still there, it will be earned sooner or later. If everyone is gone, my family's thousands of years of accumulation will definitely make others easier."

Uchiha Fugaku said very firmly,

“It’s not about selling everything, but it’s about taking precautions to avoid being caught off guard when the time comes, and you can’t find a buyer even if you try to find one, and you end up being at the mercy of others.”

Now it seems that the Gushan family seems to have a strong willingness to take over. Taking the opportunity to sell more to them can also collect some funds and buy more ninja tools to make the family more powerful and increase their chances of survival.

It is actually not easy to find a buyer who is not afraid of the pressure from the Leaf Village and takes over the Uchiha family property.

…

Just when the undercurrents in Konoha Village were surging and the Uchiha family was in turmoil, Uchiha Fugaku was arranging for a group of clan members to gather together under the organization of his confidants.

Some fell into the water and disappeared, with no one alive or dead, and some died suddenly after a sudden illness. There was no grand funeral ceremony, but a quick burial with little delay.

There were even several newborn babies who were suddenly infected with acute infectious diseases and died.

Recently, when it comes to the Uchiha family, the villagers like to watch the unpopular jokes about the "unlucky" Uchiha family.

Satirizing noble people in distress has always been a popular hobby in the market.

By the time the Third Hokage and Hiruzen Sarutobi paid attention to this information, nearly ten people in the Uchiha family had apparently suffered accidents.

"Something's wrong."

The sensitive Sarutobi Hiruzen instinctively felt the risk, but the ANBU investigated several times and found no problems.

You can't dig up those Uchiha children who died violently and do autopsies, right?

Some things that violate human ethics should be avoided as much as possible unless necessary.

Gushan Bushui, who indirectly guided all of this, has returned to Yuqi Island to prepare for this year's "King of Fighting" challenge.

It made big news last year, and Gushan Bu Shui doesn't want it to become mediocre this year.

In the rounds of publicity, the "seeded contestants" who received invitations in advance, skipped the auditions and entered the second round of semi-finals gradually became known.

This year, the one with the loudest voice is Ryuudouin Akira.

He is not only the "officially selected" No. 1 seed, but he is also a taijutsu consultant hired by the Gushan family with a large sum of money.

After the guardian Ninja Kazuma was killed for launching a rebellion, this very famous taijutsu master in the ninja world has become the favorite to win this tournament. He is generally considered to be the next Kazuma. It is only a matter of time before he embarks on the road to success.

A matter of time.

Not only that, Ryuudouin Akira's three sons, Ryuudouin Genshou, Ryuudouin Rokkaku and Ryuudouin Xieguang, will also form a team to participate in the Junior King of Fighters team competition.

It's a pity that Ryutangin Akira doesn't have a daughter who is worthy of being a woman, nor does he have any handsome disciples. His three sons are quite capable, but each one looks uglier than the other. He wants to create a huge reputation.

It's a bit difficult.

"It's a pity that the template of the Extreme Style Karate Dragon Tiger Fist Team cannot be applied. The Golden Team is a bit promising, but the characteristics of the three brothers are not obvious enough. It doesn't matter if they are not handsome, they are too ugly to have any characteristics."

I originally wanted to take advantage of last year's popularity and create a three-weapon hero combination, but after thinking about it, I decided not to do it. You have to stick to the rhythm when doing big things. If you do this every year, it's easy to get tired of aesthetics.

"Forget it this year. The Uchiha family has been destroyed. Even if there is enthusiasm, it will be suppressed. Come back next year!"

During this period, the Gushan family was too conspicuous. As the top wealthy family in the Fire Country, it was necessary to maintain a certain sense of mystery.

"It's another year, the 17th. Time flies so fast."

The former "King of Fighters" winner, who had changed his outfit and now had a pseudonym, stood on the viewing platform and looked at the crowds of people coming and going below. Many tourists from out of town were visiting the exhibition halls one after another.

Ryuudouin Akira is the most popular, and is even more popular than Wuma in recent years.

It’s not that Wuma is not as good as Ryuudouin Akira, but the “King of Fighting” challenge a few years ago did not receive as much attention as this year.

With each passing year, this event, which has gradually become an annual "trend", is becoming more and more influential. Even if the Gushan family does not want to continue hosting it, someone will continue to take over the name.

"That taijutsu ninja has a good image, and the people you are looking for are very powerful. Where did you find these talents whose strength is far greater than their reputation?"

There is Kazuma in the front and Ryuudouin Akira in the back.

These people were originally famous, but they were only limited to one place. They are not as lucky as they are now famous all over the world.

Last year's winner, Iwago, is also of this type, but is slightly less powerful.

We can't expect everyone to have the same fate as Kazuma and Ryuudouin Akira. People like Iwago are the standard "carp leaping over the dragon's gate", a golden phoenix flying out of a pheasant's nest.

Iwago was rather unlucky, and met Kazuma, a scammer. If he had been a guardian nin for a few years, and then found a big nobleman to support him, he would have changed his family in the future and become a minor nobleman.

"The Gushan family's intelligence network is far more powerful than you think."

"I prefer to believe that this is the young governor's personal ability. Of course, I have no intention of asking, I am just curious."

Jiangtu smiled and shrugged, changed the subject and asked,

"When are you going to the Kingdom of Whirlpool? It's quite troublesome to build a new country and lay the foundation. I have to explore the way. Also, the few subordinates you assigned have to be 'trained' to see if they are suitable for use."

"Don't worry, in a few months, there will be real elites for you to drive."
