Ninja Ice House

Human beings' biological instincts naturally tend to be indolent and get something for nothing. Gambling is a very difficult bad habit to get rid of. It tends to satisfy the bad nature of human beings and make people addicted to it and get deeper and deeper into it.

It is not easy for the Ninja world to have a national competitive event that has influence over most of the Ninja world. Those "bookmakers" of all sizes will naturally not miss the opportunity. The previous "King of Fighting" youth group was just a small test, and the entire age group was

It's a good opportunity to make a fortune.

The Gushan family will not be directly involved, but as the "organizer" of the event, it is also an unshirkable responsibility to regulate off-site factors. After being included in the collection and paying the "security deposit", they can open "handicap" within the prescribed range.

"Attract customers to spend money. As for those "black dealers" who don't know their background and cheat one after another, there are also a few. If these people are caught, they will be punished severely.

Even if the punishment is strong, illegal transactions in gray areas are still prohibited repeatedly. As long as there is still a huge temptation of profit, it is impossible to completely eradicate this thing.

This year's "King of Fighting" event is a "small year" compared with last year. The overall strength is still above the standard, but there are no overwhelmingly popular players such as Ryuudouin Akira and Kazuma.

.

Of course, this situation is conducive to manipulating the odds, leading laymen who don't know much about it to invest money, and then be harvested over and over again.

If it weren't for the worry that the food would look too ugly and damage his image, Gu Shan Bu Shui would have wanted to go out personally and swallow all the flowing "hot money".

Even though the Gushan family has no shortage of financial resources, money is still coming in like a tide, which is still tempting.

Putting aside the thought of drying up the lake and fishing, Gu Shanbu Shui still focused his main energy on cultivating the group of "fighters".

Kimimaro and Kyoto are young and promising geniuses. The former is blessed by God, and the latter is naturally outstanding compared to ordinary people, but compared with the real "trendy makers of the times", they are still far behind.

Fortunately, Jing is also a practitioner who has received strict education since he was a child, and he is really good at the physical skills of entering and entering the palace.

The two were also fighting back and forth in the ring. In the eyes of outsiders, either of the two evenly matched opponents could win. However, Gushan Bushui and Chaizhou understood that Jing's strength was obviously inferior, so they did not use the Blood Succession Limit.

·Kaguya Kimimaro of Corpse Bone Pulse suppressed Kyo's performance with two scimitars.

Jing, who seemed to have a slight upper hand, was actually struggling to attack, spending too much energy on his attack. Once he relaxed, he could no longer hold on.

As a result, Kimimaro won faster than expected. After adapting to his opponent's offensive routine, he found a counterattack with the genius of Taijutsu, and knocked Kyo cleanly off the ring.

The exciting fight also attracted bursts of applause from the rights defenders, which were also mixed with curses and complaints about "the wrong treasure".

In just a few minutes, a sum of money almost equivalent to the initial public expenditure of a small country flowed into Gu Shanbu Shui's pocket.

With the power in hand and the "code to get rich", making money is as simple as eating and drinking.

Of course, it is not without its hidden dangers. As the "King of Fighting" event becomes more and more influential, the benefits derived from it are also expanding rapidly. Even the Gushan family, a wealthy and powerful aristocrat, has gradually developed a sense of

I can’t let go of the momentum.

If you rely too much on a single financial source, it is inevitable that you will be kidnapped in the end. Fortunately, Gushan Bushui at the helm is not a profit-seeking upstart who only cares about "money", and he will not worry about such "external things". And forgot the original purpose.

Chai Zhou excused himself to comfort his defeated son, while Gushan Bushui followed the noise and looked at the other pair of challengers who had boarded the ring.

"Two samurai?"

His face darkened slightly, and Gu Shanbu Shui couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

One of them was obviously a heavily armored warrior, a standard person from the Kingdom of Iron. His opponent was a wild-haired swordsman with a long sword on his waist. He was not wearing armor, but was wearing a light outfit.

At first glance, the two men appear to be equally powerful.

In fact, between armored and unarmored warriors, in most cases, the former has an overwhelming advantage.

If there is no extraordinary power with extremely obvious blessing effect, it is common for heavy armored units to crush civilian infantry on the battlefield where the two armies meet on a narrow road. In the long history of cold weapons in Major Governor Gushan's previous life, hundreds of heavy cavalry chased tens of thousands or even dozens of soldiers. The myth of a hundred thousand people destroying a city and overthrowing it has happened more than once.

Li Shimin led hundreds of black armored cavalry to charge at Hulao Pass and defeated hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, making a good start for the glory of the Tang Dynasty. The Polish winged cavalry roamed the forests of Eastern Europe, and their reputation as "Ping Du Zhen Lu" was well-known. It has been around for hundreds of years. Other armored cavalry such as the Jingsai Army, Iron Kites, Iron Futu, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, etc. are all elites that have been resounding for an era.

As for the heavy armored infantry such as Wei Wuzu, Bu Renjia, Mo Dao Team, and Zhen Camp, they also left a famous legend.

The greater the number, the greater the advantage of armored units. Up to a certain level, it is almost possible to ignore the numerical advantage of unarmored and lightly armored units that cannot be used on the frontal battlefield. If you want to close this gap, you must avoid it tactically. Its sharp edge, or simply heaping human lives on it, can exhaust a heavily armored warrior to death.

The same is true in the ninja world. Before the order of one village and one country was established, when the two countries fought, the most important military merit was "armor-killing". Others could be deceived, but only the elite "armor-killing" was the most convincing.

According to the laws of various countries, it is generally considered as treason to keep any number of pieces of armor privately, but it does not matter if you wear a sword. The most stringent one only imposes restrictions on crossbows.

Anyone with a little bit of knowledge should understand that in a duel in the ring, swords have no eyes, and there is not much space to display secret techniques. If you don't hold a magical weapon that can cut iron as hard as clay, and encounter a heavily armored warrior armed to the teeth, your chances of winning are very slim. .

"That...what's going on?"

Following Gu Shan Bu Shui's questioning, an attendant with a dark body and a very low sense of presence appeared, kneeling on one knee behind him,

"I have said that 'fighters' are climbers who fight indiscriminately and challenge their own limits, but how could such an extremely unfair duel appear in the rematch? Is there someone who intervenes and wants to control the odds and harvest those people? Gambler?"

"Young Master, this is the process controlled by Director Yasukawa Zaihara, and there has been no sign of anything amiss before."

"Call him over."

"Understood! Do you want to stop the following game urgently?"

"No! I want to see what's going on..."

Under the gaze of everyone, it was too late to do anything.

More than a minute later, Yasukawa Zaihara, who was sweating profusely, was holding a stack of folders and nervously waiting for his boss's inquiry.

Gu Shan Bu Shui waited quietly for the second rematch to end. Ten minutes later, the swordsman wielding his sword aggressively gained the upper hand for a while, but the opponent's armor was not a decoration. He withstood the attack and pressed forward step by step.

, and finally "turned defeat into victory."

The audience, who had no idea what was going on, cheered one after another, but Yasukawa Zaihara's heart sank involuntarily.

"What do you want to say?"

It’s not like Gu Shan Bu Shui is ignorant. At a glance, he knew that this was a deliberately arranged and tacit duel. The two were really fighting, but after weighing their respective strengths and weaknesses, the process and outcome of the competition were already destined.

There are competitions with huge disparities between strengths and weaknesses, but after entering the semi-finals, all kinds of ghosts and monsters have been eliminated, and the draw rules have eliminated the possibility of major misunderstandings to the greatest extent.

For example, in the duel that just ended, there will definitely be agreements on armor styles, arena illusions, weapon specifications, and even time limits.

Don't talk about fairness, openness and justice. All competitive activities are performances. Gushan Bushui has spent more than ten years developing the "King of Fighting" platform. Making money is secondary. Gathering a certain

The most important thing is the hearts of a special group of people who are "rich in martial virtue".

"We have checked and it turns out that he is the contestant with the number Ding Chou in the semi-finals. He voluntarily accepted to enter the ring under extremely unfavorable conditions. Bingyin also proposed to change to light armor, or let the opponent use a thrusting spear or a heavy hammer mace, but he was rejected.

"

What is the myth about unparalleled swordsmen who kill people like mowing grass? Do you really think that all those who use swords are "Konoha White Fang"?

Even in the previous life, the actual battlefield effect of bushido was exaggerated, and its attributes of self-cultivation and performance were more intense. The art of swords and swords was just a showpiece, and it was useful to assist in combat. When encountering armor, it was basically useless. In real fighting, you still have to use a spear.

Array thrusts and euphorbia sweeps are more effective.

"The two of them acted together, but you didn't see it."

Without careful investigation, Gu Shan Bu Shui could guess that these two people were specially selected by a certain force. It was very possible that there were more than just these two people. I don’t know how many arrangements were made behind the scenes to make that scene happen.

Farce happens.

In just these few minutes, years of investment have been repaid with interest.

"My subordinates have neglected their duties and dare not shirk responsibility."

"I know that you have a very heavy task, and it is inevitable that you will be negligent, but if you make a mistake, you will be punished, not to mention if it results in bad consequences."

In fact, Gu Shan Bu Shui is not particularly angry. He just wants to make his subordinates who are not very calm have some memories. The interests involved in every move of the huge Gu Shan family are boundless and may become more and more exaggerated in the future.

,The losses caused by every negligence are difficult to ,repair.

What's the point of losing some money?

Just take it as a lesson.

The real problem is...

"I have been too kind in the past two years, so that some people have forgotten that the Gushan family has never been very generous, and there is quite a dark history of revenge."

"It has been found out that it was someone from the underground bounty house who did it."

Knowing that this was the last chance to restore his impression in the young master's mind, Yasukawa Zaihara was naturally very anxious to report,

"In the past few years, our investment in gray areas has been reduced by 40%. Some people's 'business' is not easy to do, so they want to make a profit."

"Oh? He's our 'close' business partner. It's okay if you want to make a fortune, but it's not good if you want to target me!"

Gushan Bushui said with a chuckle,

"Give me a list, which ones are 'beheaded' and which ones are 'accepted as dogs'..."

Now that there has been a falling out, there is no "treat" option.

"Understood, I'll arrange the manpower right away."

"No need, I will do it myself. I have spent more than ten years learning ninjutsu, but I have rarely used it. Isn't it a waste?"

"Young Master, do you want to take the opportunity to practice your skills?"

Yasukawa Zaihara was stunned for a moment. He was about to suggest whether he should listen to the master's opinion, but gave up after thinking about it for a moment.

"how come?"

Gushan Bushui, who responded nonchalantly, changed the subject.

"What happened here is that I will punish you to go to the Country of Whirlpool and help Chaizhou build a ninja village..."

After a pause, the young family governor continued:

"In the past, the country of Uzumaki was the world of the Uzumaki clan. The entire country and the Uzumaki village were one. They both prospered and suffered losses. The danger of genocide came, and the ending was particularly tragic. Now I want to separate the two and downplay the two.

An indivisible impression."

The gameplay of "one team, two brands" means that when things succeed, you will enjoy double benefits, and when things go wrong, you will face double risks.

Even with the protection of Gu Shan Bu Shui, the target of the Uzumaki clan is too big and too sensitive, so they have to think of ways to avoid the crisis of being wiped out again.

The Senju family was broken into pieces and integrated into the Leaf Village. Although the huge overlord ninja clan no longer existed, the blood descendants successfully survived, multiplied and developed, instead of being eliminated like the Uchiha family.

Killed until only one seedling remained.

Now that the bloodline of the Uzumaki family has been integrated into Gushan, some coveted eyes will naturally move to the Fire Country. Don't think that those desperadoes will not dare to attack just because the Gushan tribe is rich and powerful.

Although it is unlikely, you should be careful.

"Young Master, if you create a ninja village out of nothing, you may not achieve anything in a year or two."

This is not just about finding a group of people and hanging up a sign. It must be recognized by at least one of the five major ninja villages, or form an alliance with them. Otherwise, it would be too much fun for cats and dogs to build a few shacks in the mountains and old forests to be considered a ninja village.

Already.

"I have my own arrangements, you go ahead."

Yasukawa Zaihara, who has a great future and obvious upward momentum, is really unwilling to be sent to another place because of a "little thing", but who made him careless?

After he left, Masaki Kosugi, who was holding a child in one hand and riding another around his neck, walked over with a smile, singing a funny children's song, and walked over with a few steps.

"That boy, it sounds like he is also your distant cousin. He is quite capable and progressive, but he easily gets carried away."

"Um!"

"I know that you don't have a good impression of those clinging aunts and uncles. Most of them really don't have much ability. They just want to be worms waiting to die. They just get married and have children step by step, and have one or two children to inherit the family business.

It’s the limit. However, you still have to be a little more perfunctory on the surface.”

"You can despise or even attack their familiar style, but can't they leave a reputation of being mean and unkind? I understand!"

The young governor, who chuckled a few times, pinched the cheek of Xiao Hiiragi who was babbling happily, then "picked" it off his grandfather's head and held it in his arms.

"It's so rude. I've never seen you doting on me like this before, Xianglin."

"It's one moment and another. My son is not strong yet, so it's not certain whether he can protect his wife and daughter. Now, you have grown up and have your own team. Even without Gushan's endorsement, your granddaughters will be fine.

Then what am I worried about? I don’t want to pretend anymore, I’m showing off my cards. I really want to have a daughter, but unfortunately I can’t do it. It’s not bad to have a granddaughter..."

"I know, I know, don't let outsiders see it, it will damage your majesty."

Gu Shan Bu Shui waved his hand,

"The Country of Whirlpool is a good place to go and has a lot to offer. My cousin from far away is really capable and very good."

"As long as you have arrangements. Next week I plan to take my children to Konoha Village to let the sisters get together. What do you think?"
