Ninja Ice House

Taking a deep breath, Inuzuka Hana, who had already thought about it clearly, spoke out the words she had prepared.

"Some things are beyond the Inuzuka family's expectations. Konoha Village's own kennel and cooperative psychic beast breeding center, the number of mature individuals every year far exceeds the actual needs of Konoha Village, even if Senior Bu Shui is there

There will also be a lot of surplus through selection within the Fire Country..."

"how come?"

Gushan Bu Shui asked puzzledly,

"I see there are still many students waiting for suitable psychic beasts in the preparatory training class..."

"not like this."

Inuzuka Hana waved her hand and further explained,

"Konoha Village has new genin every year. The intergenerational inheritance is very stable and the fluctuation in demand is very small. However, this is the first time in the Fire Country that there is a large-scale qualification test and selection. Especially in the first year, almost

All the talented people between the ages of 15 and 22 have been caught up in one fell swoop. In the case of a start-up, there will definitely be more people, and it is foreseeable that there will be a sudden drop from next year."

"Huh? That's true..."

Gu Shanbu Shui, who was rubbing his chin, thought for a moment and understood what the other party meant.

There has never been a decent general recruitment of talents, and even the talented ones have to work in the fields, facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky.

The wealthy Gushan Bu Shui has gathered almost all the essence of the Fire Country. In the next few years, it is foreseeable that the young talents will plummet and the quality will not be as good as this year.

Of course, the increase in training years will make up for such shortcomings. Inuzuka Hana's worries are reasonable. For example, Ranmaru, Shiro, Sora and others are already rare geniuses.

"The drama" also proves that they are worthy of the favor of Major Governor Gu Shan.

The question is, how many such "relics in the ocean" are there in the ninja world?

If you can't stand out in the "original work", there is now a high probability that there is a gap in qualifications. It is difficult to find them in the huge crowd, and it is even more difficult to guarantee that they will become talents if you devote all your efforts to training them.

The "psychic ninja" that Kosugi Fusui worked so hard to build, and it is a small probability event that a true top expert will emerge from it. The direct force that is about to take shape is an "existence weapon" whose deterrent nature is greater than its actual combat value, so that those who are ready to covet it should not act rashly.

, if you really encounter a master who is difficult to deal with, you still have to pay the Jounin of Konoha Village to destroy him.

"I understand Miss Hua's worries. I will no longer consider rashly expanding the scale, cultivating too many psychic beasts, and not being able to find suitable contractors. It is not fair to them. However, it is unfair to increase the pressure of competition appropriately.

It is also a good thing, both for people and psychic beasts..."

"But, it's such a pity that a qualified ninja beast that has clearly met the standard is left to fend for itself?"

"I'll come up with a solution, but if it doesn't work, I'll buy an island off the coast and build a special amusement park so that tourists who land on the island can have close contact with the ninja beasts and have a two-way choice. We can't give it to the best psychics.

Just give them the opportunity to choose their favorite partner."

"That's okay..."

Inuzuka Hana reluctantly nodded.

It would be a pity that those advanced psychic beasts whose IQs are not inferior to those of humans and have even mastered the ability to communicate through language cannot use their abilities in the right place.

Although Gushan's water-divining method is not perfect, it is still a settlement method acceptable to both parties.

"Don't worry too much. Maybe next year there will be more young people who are worthy of being on the stage and can be recognized by those high-level psychic beasts. We have provided a platform. Whether it will succeed in the end depends on fate and bonds."

After communicating with Inuzuka Hana, Kosugi Bosui realized a detail that he had not paid attention to before, that is, the Inuzuka clan treats the ninja dogs who signed the contract as real family members, unlike those in the previous life who were just for the purpose of entrusting some kind of spiritual love.

For dog people, psychic dogs are truly practical and can be lifelong combat partners.

Furusugi Bosui is different. He equates psychic beasts with kunai, detonating talismans, secret medicines and battle puppets. At best, they regard them as infinitely weakened versions of the materialized tailed beasts. He does not regard them as equals and worthy of entrustment.

Companion of life.

Inferior ninja tools, incomplete ninja tools that are of no use, will most likely be destroyed in the end, but the handling of psychic beasts cannot be so rough, and it is definitely not possible to keep them worthless. Once it is determined that certain individuals cannot become contracted psychic beasts,

Since they cannot be thrown into the incinerator and it is not appropriate to kill them for meat, they need to find a home for them.

After Inuzuka Hana left, Kosugi Fusui sat in the office and thought for a long time. Finally, he wrote and drew on the paper and scribbled it out many times. In the end, only some rather reluctant ideas were left.

"Let's do this for now, there are more important things to consider. There are so many things to do, and there are really too few talents available."

…

A week later, outside Inaba Port, in a mountain valley surrounded by mountains and rivers, there was a large new school. Its facilities were so complete that even the seniors from Konoha Village who came to assist were amazed.

After Mizuki, who had white hair, left all the chores to his companions, he came to the room with the principal's office at the door and handed over to Gusugi Bushui, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"This is what I should do, Senior Bu Shui."

"There's no need to be so polite. I'm not much older than you, and I'm also lucky enough to be a student of the same grade, a senior, etc. I'm sorry."

"Senior", Gushan Bushui can still afford it. It would be best if he didn't repeat the grade to the point where he can no longer look up and look down.

"Asking you to come here to serve as the school's construction consultant is overkill. Konoha Village is also in a very difficult situation nowadays. It's really not easy for an elite like you to do such a small thing."

Without him, given a lot of money, a relatively outstanding chuunin like Mizuki would still have to take time out of his busy schedule to come and do chores.

"Looking at the school building that is gradually taking shape, I know that you are planning to do something big, which will make the Konoha Ninja School pale in comparison."

"It's just a lot of money and a big territory. These are all external things. Talent is the most important. If I can just pull out a team of outstanding teachers like you, I won't have to worry about my hair turning gray."

"You are joking. When school starts, there will naturally be a solution."

"I hope so."

Gu Shan Bu Shui shrugged and sighed casually,

"You still need to pay more attention to the entrance test next week. I have a lot of people under my command, but I can't find a few guys who can do such delicate work. I have no experience in dealing with children, and there are also those who are worried.

Parents should also dispel their doubts."

It doesn't sound so real that a noble nobleman shows mercy and provides education opportunities for low-status people. Many poor families who have suffered a loss are wondering whether the "meat eaters" have come up with another way to exploit labor.

It’s a new trick from the public. No matter how loud the propaganda is and how thorough the explanation is, there are still many people who don’t believe it.

Nowadays, the credibility of the aristocratic nobles has dropped to an extremely dangerous level. The polarization and opposition in society have made both sides distrust each other.

Especially this new thing, which sounds unreliable at first glance, looks like a trap.

So, let’s make a good start and let everyone see that this time is really different.

In the Ninja world, there is no King Chen who shouts "Princes and generals should rather have their own kind", and there is no precedent for the commoner emperor to dominate the world. The theory of blood has been prevalent for a long time. There is no imperial examination or the soil for the civil service examination system to survive. In addition, it can be seen that

The existence of the tangible blood inheritance limit makes the common people in today's ninja world simply not believe that the myth of class jump will happen to them.

The Hidden Leaf Village, where superiority and inferiority are not obvious, is a little better. In a society as solidified as the Fire Country, if the superiors want to grant some benefits beyond the rules, the first reaction of the people below them is to be wary and suspicious.

Indeed, it is really difficult to get those servants who are accustomed to serving their superiors and squeezing their subordinates and parents who are illiterate to speak properly.

As a last resort, Gusugi Bushui had to spend a lot of money to move a team of people from Konoha Village to take over front-line affairs with full authority.

"To be honest, it's a bit unkind to force you to work before the New Year. However, the parents of those children can't afford to wait. If they don't do it in their free time, they will have to go to the fields again after the New Year is over and the flowers are blooming in spring.

If you don’t want to work, you’re even less willing to visit a school run by us ‘dandy boys’.”

"It's a mission. It's inevitable. We ninjas have long been used to it. Don't think too much. If you hurry up, you might be able to go back for a vacation before the end of the year."

"That's good. By the way, a hot spring has been dug out in the back mountain. The hotel has just been built and has not been officially opened to the public. If you don't mind, you can take your colleagues to have fun. That's all the help I can provide here.

, If you have other requirements, you can directly raise them with Yasukawa Zaiyuan..."

"It's already very good. You don't have to be too polite."

The two chatted for a while, and Gu Shan Bu Shui still had a good impression of this peer who had always pretended to be pretty good.

The vast majority of civilian ninjas are still not up to his level. They have no backing and no family support. They rely entirely on their own connections. Their strength is also developed step by step, and they stand out from thousands of competitors.

It's indeed not simple.

However, the unevenness of this world will sooner or later make him realize that the ideal end point he has worked hard for and thought about day and night is just the starting point for some people.

The imbalance in the heart will push Mizuki, whose ambition is gradually expanding, to the point of no return.

From this guy who had begun to have evil intentions, Gu Shanbu Shui smelled the unpleasant chakra, and there was a fishy smell in his cold words, just like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to spit out its tongue.

Mizuki now seems to have been involved in a relationship with Orochimaru in advance, but the further he goes, the closer he is to the limit of his own qualifications. An ambitious man who is slowly improving in strength will sooner or later go further and further down the wrong path.

"This is a good tool. Do you want to squeeze out its value?"

After Mizuki left with satisfaction, Gu Shanbu Shui muttered to himself playfully.

One's own strength is one aspect. Wealth and status, power and glory are also proof of a person's success. In Konoha Village, except for a group of superficial friends attracted by "long-sleeved dancers", Mizuki's own connections and encounters can no longer make him more successful.

One step further.

However, in the Gushan family, there is enough room for advancement for him to work hard.

"It's just that I promised the third generation old man not to use unfair means to forcefully poach Konoha Village ninjas. It's a bit troublesome. Unless he retires on his own initiative and then accepts employment to work for me."

How to operate it? Gushan Bu Shui hasn't figured it out yet. This Shuimu's own strength is definitely not worth the attention of the young family governor. The key is that he is a serious ninja school teacher. He has certain teaching experience and knows how to deal with ignorant people.

He knows how to deal with children. The fledgling Uzumaki Naruto was fooled around by him, which shows that Mizuki is very good at fooling children.

…

In Tian Zhiguo Yin Ninja Village, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't help wailing. Orochimaru couldn't hide the tearing pain coming from the depths of his soul. He endured the discomfort and swallowed a handful of treatment pills. Unfortunately, the effect was not good.

How good.

"The Sharingan is such a special thing? No wonder Danzo didn't hesitate to take risks and destroy the Uchiha family to get it."

After receiving a summons from the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization, the formal members gathered together rarely. Payne also introduced the newly joined "Suzaku". When he saw the still immature boy, Orochimaru planned to risk everything

Grab it in your hands.

However, the power of the Sharingan exceeded Orochimaru's imagination, and the expected capture did not come true. Instead, he was seriously injured by Itachi Uchiha.

The physical pain is secondary, and the mental torture is even more difficult to eliminate.

Even so, the proud Orochimaru has not given up on getting the Sharingan. However, the overly powerful Uchiha Itachi is not a good target. The only target is the survivor of the "Night of Genocide" - Uchi

Bo Sasuke.

"Kabuto, I have a new mission for you, keep an eye on my Sasuke."

"Yes! I wonder if the other people under your care still need to be monitored?"

"It's up to you."

Orochimaru took a few deep breaths, a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said with a half-smile,

"Xiang Rin, who is suspected to be from the Uzumaki clan, is a good candidate, but with Sasuke, she can forget about it."

If there was a big age gap between the two, it might be worth cultivating into a "transitional" soul container. But with Sasuke Uchiha, who is the same age, other children with a similar age would become useless.

Orochimaru, who was focused on the Sharingan, could no longer look at the last-class option.

"Also, get ready and leave for the Kingdom of the Sea after you have rested. If they learn that I am injured, some guys may be tempted to kill me. Now is not the time to fight with them."

Among them, the most troublesome thing is the red sand scorpion that wants to kill him. Although he is not afraid, Orochimaru does not want to risk his life at this time.

After this blow, Orochimaru also felt that he was too careless in the past.

"Perhaps, we should go to the Kingdom of Wind or the Kingdom of Water. There may be unexpected surprises."

As for the mastermind who controls the pseudo-jinchuuriki and possesses the power of the Sharingan, we can only wait for the other party to show up again before continuing the investigation.
