Ninja Ice House

After Kurama Yakumo recovered a little, he restarted his ninjutsu practice and resumed his tutoring lessons after a long break.

After many months, Yuhi Hong was filled with emotion when she saw her frail and sick student again.

"I've grown taller and become more energetic."

Compared with the sickly appearance before, his face was obviously much rosier, his steps were more steady, and he would not sweat on his forehead after walking a few more steps. His deep eyes were more eye-catching, attracting attention like a whirlpool.

"Teacher Hong, I'm going to trouble you again during this period."

The young father, Kurama Congyun, smiled politely. It was clear that his daughter's health had improved, but her energy and energy were a little sluggish.

Yuhi Hong suppressed the doubts in her heart, nodded politely, and responded with a slight smile:

"Yakumo is a well-behaved child with a good talent. It would be a pity to stop practicing. I am not a good teacher, and I am not the best among my colleagues. I can only master genjutsu. I hope I can help. So.

…”

Kurenai Yuhi cast her soft gaze on Kurama Yakumo who was listening with a smile.

"I hope we can get along well with each other in the future and gain something from each other."

Kurama Congyun apologized with a sophisticated smile. There were some illusion masters in Konoha Village, but there were not many suitable tutors. Real top ninjas could not be hired even with money, and they also needed precious favors.

But the declining Kurama family doesn't have that much face.

Rising stars like Ebisu who are interested in teaching can either become the first teachers for noble children, or go to a ninja school to earn qualifications.

The Kurama family is deteriorating. Not many people are willing to burn this cold stove. They can't even move out of Konoha Village and be removed from the traditional ninja clan in a few years. In that case, the early investment in connections and the time spent on building friendships will not be enough.

Isn’t the opportunity wasted?

Those who can become ninjas are not necessarily smart, but they are certainly not stupid. They are quite good at planning their lives.

As for Yuhihong, it is also very popular in the tutoring market, but most of them are for enlightenment of girls under ten years old.

Being female is sometimes an advantage, but in the long run, it is actually a disadvantage.

The most attractive thing about the Kurama family is that they give her too much. Of course, Kurama Yakumo's own potential is indeed worth the effort.

Rather, this is a good opportunity for Yuhi Hong.

A few years ago, the Kyuubi attacked the village, and the mainstay of the family was killed. The young Yuhi Kurenai also suffered a lot of pressure.

Money is a good thing. It is unnecessary to take it too seriously, but when you need it, it really makes people worry.

In the eyes of other tutors, Kurama Yakumo is a troublesome person, but he is a perfect match for Yuhi Kurenai.

Just as the two girls, one large and one young, were starting their routine lessons, Kurama Unkai was working with Furugi Fusui to pack up a batch of ninja tools that had come from afar and put them into storage, waiting to be distributed to the Konoha Village.

Retailers.

There is a huge difference in size between the Furusugi family and the Kurama family. In terms of wealth and influence, Furusugi Bushui has an overwhelming advantage, but the Kurama family also has its own strengths, that is, one foot is still in Konoha Village, and there is no complete

Break away from ninja society.

There are some channels that the Furusugi family is difficult to interfere with, and the Kurama family is perfect for that.

There is no reason to refuse a partnership that benefits both sides. The Furusugi family and the Inuzuka family cooperated to open a psychic beast breeding center, and no one objected. Buying some high-quality and low-priced ninja supplies is even less worthy of attention.

Already.

As for how much money the two families made, that was a private matter, and the Hokage had no business asking about it.

"Alas, we have made huge wealth by selling so many goods, and our family has declined to this extent. We are truly ashamed of our ancestors."

The population is thin, and the main branch is shaky. No matter how big the family fortune is, it will eventually come to an advantage for others. It is natural for Kurama Yunhai to feel this way.

"I can only say that you Kurama family only learned how to make money in the past, and did not spend the money reasonably and in the right place."

Shrugging his shoulders, Young Governor Gushan talked eloquently,

"It's good to base oneself on the limit of blood inheritance, but relying entirely on it will lead to overthrow sooner or later. I think you two brothers are still young, why don't you hurry up and have more children?"

"If you are weak, you are destined to have poor heirs."

"oh……"

Nodding his head clearly, Gu Shan Bu Shui also realized it later.

The Yin and Yang attributes in the body are naturally imbalanced. Yin is strong and Yang is weak. The better the talent, the more severely the vitality and reproductive ability are suppressed. Girls are obviously more likely to awaken the blood inheritance limit than boys.

The problems of the Kurama family are different from those of the Uchiha family.

"Have you ever thought about marrying a foreign clan? When they were still prosperous in the past, clans like Uzumaki, Senju, Akimichi, etc. had taboos on the main line, so it wouldn't be a problem to find a few branch sons to marry, right?"

Kurama Congyun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"We, the Kurama clan, have average frontal combat power. We are too weak to stand alone, but our auxiliary power is too strong. In addition, we have been good at wealth for generations, so we cannot just choose sides..."

"I see."

With average strength and huge wealth, no matter who he supports, he is an important bargaining chip to break the balance. Any move that causes misunderstanding will cause trouble.

This is like the tragedy of accidentally becoming the richest man without a strong backer. It is difficult to bring your own solid food and go to the big brother. What is even more troublesome is that there are two major factions in Konoha Village, and several big brothers are at each other's throats. Once

Being hostile, the little arms and legs of the Kurama family really can't stand the torment.

"So, you are in a dilemma if you want to leave the Leaf Village and take root in the world, but you are unwilling to sit on the fence?"

Hehehe smiled, Gu Shanbu Shui, who was very familiar with various interest disputes, did not mean to laugh.

Kurama Yakumo is a good opportunity. After all, he is also a very rare genjutsu-type blood successor, and he is quite powerful. As expected, no matter who comes to the top of Konohagakure, he will kill them all and leave a glimmer of hope.

"It's not easy for you either!"

"Who says it isn't?"

The two watched their men working, and breathed a sigh of relief when all the goods were returned to the warehouse.

Under normal circumstances, these trivial matters do not require Kurama Yunhai and Gushan Bushui to keep an eye on them personally. Only this time, the "cargo" is really special.

A large number of military ration pills, golden sore medicine, shurikens and detonating charms were shipped from the east coast, as well as incendiary bombs, napalm bombs, flame launchers, etc. that Shimura Danzo greatly appreciated after trying them out. It was really murderous and destructive.

A must to eliminate traces of corpses.

Gushan Bu Shui is serious about selling arms, and he has no bottom line. Ninjas fight with each other and do whatever they can, so what does this mean?

If it weren't for the fear of backlash against him, such as sniper rifles, cluster bombs, gas bombs and other more cruel weapons, Gushan Bu Shui would want to sell them at a good price.

Ninjas are second to none in their ability to kill people and steal goods, and Gusugi Bu Shui, who inherited the wisdom of his previous life, is not bad either.

only……

In peacetime, what are you planning to do by purchasing huge quantities of anti-personnel weapons?

And it was secretly sent to Konoha Village.

Gu Shan Bu Shui didn't explain, and Kurama Yunhai was too sensible and didn't ask any further questions.

In the end, it was Gu Shan Bu Shui who broke this tacit understanding.

"I heard that you have accepted the mortgage of fixed assets from the Uchiha family and issued a loan?"

"Um?"

Kurama Yunkai was stunned. Isn't this a hint from the Kosugi family as part of the exchange?

Everyone knows that Gu Shan Bu Shui put some layers of skin on him and asked the Kurama family to show off and lend money.

It is indeed the behavior of worldly powerful people who have nothing to do with their own affairs. The internal fighting in the ninja village really has nothing to do with the Fusagi family.

As a result, Uchiha Fugaku almost broke his family and borrowed money, used all his bargaining chips to arm his clan members wantonly, and Shimura Danzo was not to be outdone, and purchased a large amount of military supplies from the very reassured Furusugi Fusui.

Gu Shan Bu Shui's image is still biased towards the positive. As long as it is for profit, he will sell anything and accept anyone. This is obviously everyone's "good friend", and naturally no one has any respect for this God of Wealth.

There are too many bad feelings about "mighty people".

"By the way, the young governor isn't worried?"

"As long as they don't burn the Leaf Village to ashes, it doesn't matter. Rather..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled brightly,

"As long as it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones, and people are still there, it's just right to break some pots and jars and replace them with new ones, which will make them more comfortable to use."

The reconstruction of a great ninja village is such a big cake. Anyway, ninjas have such strong earning power, they don't have to worry about repaying their debts.

Seeing the smile on Gu Shan Bu Shui's face that looked like a debt-collecting Yama, Kurama Yunhai couldn't help but shudder in his heart. He hoped that the Kurama family would not be betrayed by this young man in front of him in the future.

…

The closer to the war, the turbulent situation in Konoha Village calmed down. Outsiders who didn't know the truth felt that the restless village had calmed down a little. Only those who were deeply involved in it understood that this was the last calm before the storm.

At the Konoha Ninja School, school is about to end, and the final round of the practical class on the school field has not yet been decided.

The whole body was wrapped in a layer of incense that showed a very light flow of water. He moved very flexibly to avoid the punches and kicks of Uchiha Sasuke. He lost no time in using the fire escape and high fireball technique several times. Although he did not hit directly, the aftermath also hit the opponent.

With the destructive power of fire escape ninjutsu, even if the combat effectiveness is not lost, there should be some damage. However, Xiang Rin, who is good at water escape, easily caught Uchiha Sasuke's attack.

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't bear the continuous use of Fire Release. His palms and corners of his mouth were slightly burned, and his chakra and physical strength did not support a protracted battle.

With heavy legs, he tried his best to sprint quickly, and Uchiha Sasuke shouted loudly, intending to encourage himself, but found that he stepped into a soft puddle, and the blue water flowed up his legs, binding them.

Body.

"Water Fist."

Upon seeing this, Xiang Rin stepped forward and wrapped his hands around the white water polo that was spinning in the rapids. Like a hammer, he hit Uchiha Sasuke hard on the shoulder, causing him to stagger and almost fall.

Immediately afterwards, there was another punch, hitting the abdomen hard. The child, who was holding back his breath, couldn't help shouting in pain, but stubbornly hugged Xianglin's arm, and hit his head with a sudden blow.

The soft water escapes the surface of the colorful clothes.

The startled Xianglin was unable to dodge, and her body was partially restrained, so she withstood the blow. Fortunately, there was some buffering, and the foreheads that collided with each other only bled a little and started to become red and swollen.

Uchiha Sasuke was even more dizzy when he took action, but he still didn't give up. He suddenly threw him in a hug, lifted Xiang Rin up forcefully, bowed his body behind his back, and smashed her backwards.

The handsome young man with his face covered in blood showed such a crazy attitude for the first time. He was used to an opponent who was so proud that he had to maintain his appearance even if he was defeated. Xiang Rin did not expect that Uchiha Sasuke would be so desperate. He was caught off guard and hit his head and shoulders on the ground, turning over.

After rolling over, I suddenly felt sore all over my body, my vision went dark, and my hands and feet fell limply to the ground.

If it weren't for the protection of Water Release Ninjutsu, I would have really suffered a big loss this time.

Uchiha Sasuke, who also had his head on the ground, struggled to get up, wiped the blood flowing from his forehead, and showed a successful smile on his lips.

After losing several times in a row and seeing the chief student getting further and further away from him, even if he had confidence in himself, the young Sasuke Uchiha was in a hurry and would not hesitate to use a lose-lose method to win.

At least now, he is still standing, while Xianglin opposite has fallen down and will not be able to get up for a while.

"Okay, that's it."

Seeing this, Umino Iruka stopped the competition. After all, it was just a teaching class, and it was not really about dividing life and death. It would be bad if he became disabled.

"Sasuke wins, but please don't let the dispute between classmates hurt the harmony."

Uchiha Sasuke, who was standing staggeringly, fell to the ground after hearing the result announced by the teacher.

Silently running the rapid healing ability provided by physical healing, Xiang Rin recovered. He moved his neck and limbs a little. After finding nothing wrong, he slowly walked over, stretched out his hand to Uchiha Sasuke, and pulled him up.

, at the urging of Umino Iruka, the two formed a seal of reconciliation.

"You are lucky this time. I was just not prepared and you took the chance."

"No matter how many times I come again, it will be the same."

"snort!"

Turning around and leaving unhappily, Xiang Rin greeted his friends to get ready for school. Uchiha Sasuke did not show any weakness and clenched his fists in protest.

"well."

As a teacher, Umino Iruka was also in a bit of a dilemma.

It is definitely a good thing to have two motivated and proud students competing with each other and motivating each other to improve. However, being too competitive is not always a good thing.

This is still in the classroom. If it were a competition outside, a bloody blow would not be the ending. It would not end until one side completely loses its fighting power.

"Hopefully things will get better in the future."

After briefly treating the wound, Uchiha Sasuke ate some dry food as usual, then went to a familiar training ground to practice ninjutsu until the moon was in the sky before he was ready to go home.

The slightly cool air-conditioning dropped from the sky at night, making tourists on the street feel chilly.

In the night where the bright moon shines, the bustling streets of Konoha Village seem to be much deserted. An uneasy atmosphere is spreading. People who are aware of it understand that this is not a good day to go out and spend the night.

Furugi Bosui, who had been staying in Konoha Village for a long time, coaxed the unhappy Xiang Rin to sleep early, and then stood on the terrace of the small foreign-style building, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

In the shadow of the eaves, swift black shadows shuttle through the streets and alleys...
