Ninja Ice House

Leaving aside the "former wife of the head of the family" for the time being, Kosugi Fusui led his cousin Ji Ji to the small pavilion where Ranmaru and Kaguya Kimimaro were playing chess. The others did not approach because of their interest.

The New Year is approaching, and it is the time when the depth of winter is strongest. It is rare to have good weather for a week in a row. The water in the shade is still cold, but not frozen. The gurgling stream is led down from the mountains, and sparkles appear in the fish pond.

Gu Shanbu Shui then crushed the pieces of bread on the plate on the stone table and threw them into the water. After a while, a group of fish that were accustomed to cold water came out from the depths to look for food.

The swaying fish tail splashes a little bit of water from time to time, reflecting the sunshine that brings a little warmth, and glowing with a little bit of color.

"Last time, my cousin Zhi Ji said that his heart was as calm as water, and he just wanted to do some small things within his power to try to see the future I imagined. The result..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui sighed softly and said,

"This year... how old is Cousin Zhiji?"

"Early forties, almost forty-one."

My cousin spoke in a normal manner and did not mean to blame him. However, my cousin was still a little uncomfortable.

"It's not that I have any special ideas. Mrs. Mikoto doesn't mean to cause trouble to everyone..."

"In this world, few people think they have done anything wrong..."

Gushan Bu Shui said leisurely,

"Unfortunately, conflict and chaos always follow and are never far away. I have no prejudice against people named Uchiha. What a woman who has lost the protection of her family wants to do is actually not much different from the Gusugi family.

Relationship. What I am more worried about is your thoughts. Growing up, when your parents talked about you, they always praised you and you are extremely smart. However, many times, you are smart but not smart enough. Instead, it is a negative evaluation. You like to be clever.

People who are smart are easily misled by their cleverness. You have experienced so much, and you must have a deeper understanding..."

Cousin Zhiji fell silent, not knowing how to make the eloquent Gushan Bushui understand his true thoughts.

The scene froze for a moment.

Gu Shanbu Shui, who was quietly watching the fish fighting for food but not thinking about it at all, suddenly asked:

"Cousin, do you like her very much?"

Even the "Prince in Distress" has a back-up after all. In the matter of the daimyo and the Kosugi family, no matter what, the meat is rotten in the pot. Power and profit all operate within an inherent framework. The discipline uncle is no longer

The powerful young family governor has become a governor, but the blood flowing in his body can still make him live a comfortable life for the rest of his life.

In addition, after going through many vicissitudes of life, he still has a handsome face, which is more charming than the superficial white-faced scholar. As far as the appeal to young girls is concerned, it is not much less than it was back then.

Gu Shan Bu Shui's mother, Princess Liuli, once mentioned that her cousin should have a family and live a peaceful life. After a few decades, she would have the daimyo be given the name Miao, perhaps another close branch of the "imperial family".

Many of the great aristocrats and wealthy merchants who guarded the daimyo and the Furusugi family were deprived of their titles and family names due to various reasons. As long as future generations strive for success, they will naturally be promoted by their relatives.

The circle formed by blood, marriage, and interests controls all aspects of the Fire Nation's authority. The so-called system is stripped of its cocoons, and the remaining connotation is actually just that.

"Bu Shui, there are some things that cannot be explained clearly in a few words."

"If you can't explain it in a few words, then just say it in three days and two nights. I can afford to wait."

The young governor asked solemnly,

"My mother hasn't received the news yet, and I don't know how long I can keep it secret. The Gushan family has a huge business, and it's impossible for me to grasp it in such detail."

"All right."

Since there was no way to get away with it, Cousin Zhiji said calmly,

"I admire Mrs. Mikoto more. The people behind her keep telling her to make her own decisions, but they are just trying to encourage her to contribute to her family members. Mrs. Mikoto... I am very repulsive."

"Everyone around her is forcing her to use a honey trap to gain more power under the Gushan family. Can she protect the children of the family?"

"Isn't that what ninjas are like? Especially female ninjas..."

Uncle Zhiji said with a sad face.

From the very beginning, ninjas were a shady profession. It was not until the Rikudō Sage founded the Ninja Sect that their fate changed.

Women's fighting ability is indeed inferior to men's. This is a natural evolutionary choice and will not change the overall pattern due to individual outliers. Before the ninja group develops and grows, the mainstream does not need female ninjas at all. Training female ninjas is far inferior to training male ninjas.

Cost-effective, their physical characteristics often cause them to get in the way when performing tasks.

The only characteristic that supports the female ninja profession in struggling for survival is that it does have an advantage when executing honey traps.

After so many years, the development of ninjutsu has been greatly improved as the order of one village and one country has been established. Fields such as medical ninja, sealing class, code decryption, etc. have provided a large number of positions for female ninjas.

Even so, the stigma on female ninjas has not been completely wiped away.

Special cases like Tsunade, Terumi Mei, Uzumaki Mito and Granny Chiyo do not represent the mainstream. After all, the five major ninja villages are concerned about face and have paid great attention to maintaining their own image. Those weak wandering ninjas and small ninja villages are confirming

When you are unable to defeat someone, you will often resort to undesirable seduction tactics.

The ninja school in Konoha Village provides various arts, etiquette, makeup and other courses, basically prepared for female ninjas. They are versatile task tools, so naturally the course "Utilizing Gender Advantages" will not be left behind.

A qualified female ninja is absolutely proficient in how to perform honey traps. The values ​​​​of ninjas are not exclusive to this kind of thing.

Of course, if you can't use it, it's better to use it sparingly. With the development of illusions and various forced manipulation seals, female ninjas also try their best to avoid the embarrassment of going into battle in person and shirtless.

"This woman is in a lot of trouble. If it breaks out, it will probably have an immeasurable impact. Cousin, do you still want to persist?"

"I understand, this kind of turmoil can't scare me. It's just that Mrs. Mikoto..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Shan Bu Shui.

"Leave it to me to handle this. Just 'play' your role well. My cousin cannot bear the trouble alone."

"Leave it to you? Bu Shui..."

Uncle Zhiji smiled bitterly and said,

"I'm just afraid that you'll mess around and make things more complicated."

"How could it be? A widow with a dead husband and two troubled widows is actually not that important. Don't worry, I know what I know..."

In the disbelieving eyes of Haruji's cousin, Fusugi Bosui asked him to calm down for a while, and then visited Uchiha Mikoto again alone, who had been waiting for a long time.

The two of them were sitting at the table in the reception room, and Uchiha Mikoto had already prepared tea respectively. There was no feeling of embarrassment or nervousness at all.

"I won't say it to be polite. You can see the current situation clearly. Madam, I solemnly ask, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"Sasuke... I hope he can be safe. Itachi is a precocious child and very strong. As long as he doesn't want to, he will not be wronged. If he didn't have the weakness of his family..."

As long as their family of four can put down all their burdens, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi can live a comfortable life with Sasuke and Uchiha Mikoto on the run.

Too deep a bond can be a good thing, but it can also bring disaster.

"If Madam, you were dead, or if those restless tribesmen were more honest, Sasuke would be safe and sound."

"I understand this, but I can't let it go. Sasuke is a kind-hearted child, but he is too young and easily deceived by others."

"Many times, people can't live without the cage of lies. It's both a restraint and a protection. Madam, you have to be more open-minded."

Gu Shanbu Shui, who was talking casually, paused, changed the topic and asked,

"Then what are your plans for the future?"

"Resign yourself to fate and silently wish your two children can grow up safely."

"This does not seem to be the measure of the wife of the Uchiha clan."

Gushan Bu Shui smacked his lips, dissatisfied with the other party's perfunctory behavior.

Ever since he knew that this person was still alive, Gu Shan Bu Shui went out of his way to find detailed information.

Being able to become a couple with Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Mikoto was also a very hard-working and talented person when she was young. She won the favor of Uchiha Fugaku not only by virtue of her dignity and beauty. Unfortunately, although Uchiha Mikoto is also a descendant of the family, her ancestors already have

Three generations have not awakened the Sharingan. There are not many times when female ninjas really go to the front line and risk their lives. There are too few female ninjas in the Uchiha family who have opened their eyes, and no one hopes that Uchiha Mikoto will fight for her compatriots.

.

Since marrying Fugaku Uchiha and giving birth to a child, he has focused mainly on raising his children and neglected his spiritual practice. Although his path as a ninja has not been completely ended, his strength has hardly improved.

Except for the frequently used medical ninjutsu, Uchiha Mikoto's combat effectiveness is not as good as before.

Even after experiencing the night of genocide and the thrill of coming back from death, I still haven't awakened the Sharingan, so it is estimated that there will be no possibility in the future.

Facing Fusugi Fusui's doubts, Uchiha Mikoto, who smiled slightly, still had a gentle expression.

It can be said that he was the key figure who influenced the two brothers Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, and made his cousin Zhiji look normal. In terms of the level of a good wife and mother, there are indeed few people who can match the level of a prosperous husband and a good wife.

The evaluation is adequate.

"In life, no gains can be taken for granted. Do you think so, madam?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Gu Shan Bu Shui continued,

"I have no intention of forcing you to submit. In fact, no matter the Uchiha survivors, my wife, or everything around you, they are not very important to me. If my cousin Ji Ji was not involved, I would be prepared to sit back and watch.

, let’s see what you can do with your efforts. It’s okay to just watch the fun, no matter what trouble it causes, no one would dare to accuse the Gushan family.”

After a pause, Gu Shan Bu Shui lowered his voice and admonished:

"As a member of the family, Madam must be familiar with the matter of marriage. You and Cousin Haruki are both shady people to the Furusugi family and the Leaf Village. Although there is no substantial harm to your exposure,

But it will bring a lot of trouble. My mother has also been urging me to let my uncle Zhiji see more of the outside world. It is best to find a virtuous woman as his wife and settle down to take care of the family business. You are also considered to be in the same boat.

The whirlpool of worldly affairs has destroyed the beautiful life around you. If you don’t give up, I hope you can marry your cousin Zhiji. Of course, your identities must be kept secret, and you must not say it on the table..."

As long as you fight to the death and refuse to admit it, no one will dare to use force.

"For a widow like me who has lost the use value, it seems to be a good home. However, I still don't know what I need to pay and what I can get?"

Uchiha Mikoto, who had always been calm, lost her previous rejection and looked at Fusugi Fusui, who had already made plans.

"Guan Xian is a good man, and he is favored by many women. At another time, I would not be unmoved, but these are not enough to impress me. Since it is a marriage, it must become better for both parties, not just

Dispensable.”

"Want to take revenge? I know who the real masterminds are, where they are, and what their weaknesses are."

Major Governor Gu Shan said calmly,

"The power hidden behind the Gushan family who truly holds this country in their hands should not be underestimated."

"Revenge? No need! I am a weak woman and cannot do such a big thing."

"So, protecting your children always requires strength, right? Our Fusagi family can't do too much for a leader with great fanfare. If Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi are in danger, only you can go there alone

deal with."

"Strength? At my age, can I still be saved?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled and replied:

"This is my problem. As long as you agree, everything can be discussed."

"Then...what do I have to pay?"

"Get married, have children, and be a low-key housewife."

"Get married... have children?"

These are two things, the former is to handle the situation satisfactorily and make it acceptable to all parties, and the latter is the condition of Gu Shan Bu Shui.

"You...want the Sharingan?"

"This kind of thing... we have mastered it."

As he spoke, Fusugi Bosui called Ranmaru in, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes, with two magatama spinning in one of the pupils, which shocked Uchiha Mikoto to the point of being speechless.

"Madam, what happens in the dark side of the world is so funny. The things that many people are fighting for are within easy reach for the real people in power. It's not just Sharingan, White Eyes, Red Eyes, Corpse Veins, and Ice Release.

Wait, many of the famous blood inheritance boundaries in the ninja world are not as simple as they appear on the surface, and our Fusagi family has them..."

It's just bragging, the widow opposite doesn't have the ability to expose it anyway.

"This is actually the case, then... what does the sacrifice of our Uchiha family count?"

"The grasshoppers that blocked the road were crushed to pieces by the rolling wheels of history. It's not that you have a problem, but that you need sacrifices. The Uchiha family can't stop it, and the same goes for Konoha Village and the Land of Fire."

"Can the power you gave me stop me?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui shook his head slightly:

"I'm on the bus and I'm handing you the ticket to get on the bus. Madam, are you satisfied with my explanation?"

"Is it really such an exaggeration? Then, what are my children?"

"If you don't get on the bus, Uchiha Itachi will be a sacrifice. If you get on the bus, you may become one of the passengers. As for Uchiha Sasuke, he will be whipped to pull the horse."

"I accepted."

In more than thirty years of life, Uchiha Mikoto has never felt as sad as she does now, and at the same time she feels angry at the unfairness of fate.
