Ninja Ice House

After celebrating their first birthday, Hiiragi, Kagami and Tsukasa give the impression that they have grown up a lot.

Kagami and Tsukasa, who originally looked thin, and the second sister's body shape difference are no longer as exaggerated as before.

It looks like a baby with delayed development, but it is also starting to become lively and cute.

As for the noisy little Hiiragi, he was able to call out his father and mother relatively clearly, but his grandfather, who was very concerned, couldn't call out, which made Masaki Furugi scratch his ears and cheeks anxiously.

After celebrating with her eldest sister Xianglin in the manor outside Konoha Village, Xianglin returned to the ninja school, and the others embarked on the road back to Yuqi Island.

Xiaoqiao paid special attention to her older sister who was obviously bigger and doting on her. When she woke up in the morning, she didn't have her sister to feed her breakfast, and she felt depressed for a while.

Jing and Si's crying when they woke up from hunger made the little guy focus on how to comfort his disobedient sister.

"The two younger sisters are still close. My elder sister can already express a lot of emotions. Soon, we will reach the age where people hate dogs and dogs hate..." Bu

Hong Ye covered her mouth and snickered, wiped Xiao Hiiragi's snot bubbles with a wet towel, and then pulled her belt to prevent her from looking at the scene outside the carriage.

"After eating last time, she was so excited to see the scenery that she accidentally got motion sickness and vomited. She must have forgotten the lesson."

Gushan Bushui put the sunshade blindfold on her, but the little guy reached out and tore it off impatiently, then threw it rudely at his feet, stood up unsteadily, and walked to the side.

Fortunately, the specially made carriage drove very smoothly, so that Xiao Hiiragi would not be knocked over.

As if he wanted to prove his ability, the little guy hummed something unknown, stood on tiptoes, twisted his waist naughtily, and then laughed for no apparent reason.

“What kind of Coke can I get in the car?”

Hong Ye sighed and grabbed the restless Xiao Hiiragi again.

"Look, Jing and Si are almost asleep. Why are you so energetic?"

Not only is he full of energy, but he also has a bad temper. He is being held back by his parents one after another and has to keep his will quiet. The little guy has a straight face, pouting, raising his eyebrows, and babbles loudly from time to time, as if he is asking questions.

Why do you do this to her?

"Fortunately, you can't speak. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to argue with me?"

Regarding this particularly troublesome second daughter, Hongye seems to have seen the future where she will do a lot of naughty things and cause headaches to her family.

"This is also one of the joys of having children. Although they are our offspring, they may not grow up according to our expectations. Accidents are also part of the surprise, and there are many possibilities in little Hiiragi.

"Um."

Hongye responded and asked, "Bu

"Will she and Kagami and Tsukasa be sent to the Leaf Village Ninja School in the future? I already feel very sorry that Xiang Rin is not around. If the three of them are still like this, I will always feel a little unhappy."

"Probably not. In a few years, the educational resources of Inaba Academy will not be much different. If they want to go to school like ordinary children, that's fine. As for learning real skills, they still have to use the resources at home. Obviously there are conditions.

, you’d be a fool not to use it.”

"That's good. It's closer so you can take care of her nearby."

"They don't necessarily want to be taken care of nearby. Jing and Si should be honest. If Xiaoyi can run away, he will definitely go somewhere to play, so he doesn't want to be controlled."

"Then we need to pay closer attention to her and not let her get into trouble."

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

The smiling Gu Shanbu Shui lowered his head and noticed that the struggling man holding his calf had stopped. After a closer look, he found that he was tired from playing and yawned, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"It's so fast. There are still a few more years of carefree days, so enjoy it."

Amid the sound of horse hooves marching forward, the convoy drove into Inaba Castle, which was about to wake up, early in the morning. In the afternoon, a cruise ship would arrive at the port to take Furugi Bosui and others back to Yuqi Island.

The opening time of Yuqi Island this year is earlier than expected.

Because some ninjas from Konoha Village decided to participate at the last minute, as well as several young talents from other ninja villages who also wanted to weigh in on the quality of the "King of Fighters" challenge and came one after another, the competition format and time had to be slightly adjusted.

.

No matter what, with Kaguya Kimimaro, Toudo Kasumi and Kusanagi Kyo, ordinary experts don't have the chance to fish in troubled waters.

When this year's "King of Fighters" challenge is successfully held, the "fighters" with higher reputations will have more opportunities to exert influence and let this emerging group gain a foothold in the ninja world.

……port

While the Furusugi family was preparing for this year's event, in Konoha Village, the ninja school children on the preliminary list and a group of carefully selected young genin gathered together to watch the past few years.

Watch the video of the "King of Fighting" challenge, while listening to the teacher explain the precautions.

"Don't worry, all those in the age group. What you here need to pay attention to are the opponents in the youth group. Over the years, there have been several extremely powerful young people in the youth group of the 'King of Fighters' Challenge. However, this year, it seems that

I haven't heard of any great people coming. However, there are rumors that other great ninja villages have also received invitations, so we still can't be careless."

Next, the teachers will conduct targeted special training for them in the next month.

Ninja fighting is not the same as fighting in the ring. The rules are very clear.

This is a competition, not a life-and-death fight. This is particularly important.

In the Joint Chuunin Examination, part of the process requires signing a life and death certificate. If someone dies due to an accident, the responsibility cannot be passed on to the Konoha Village.

Every year, a group of unlucky people die before the end of the exam.

There is no death indicator in the "King of Fighters" challenge. Any case that results in serious injury, disability or even death of a contestant must be carefully investigated to determine whether there is someone behind the scenes to maliciously injure people, or whether the opponent plots and kills intentionally.

Over the years, several vicious incidents have indeed occurred in the "King of Fighters" challenge, and each time the culprit was found out and received the punishment he deserved.

Compared with countless duels in public, the probability of accidents is extremely low, so there is no need to worry about it.

The problem is that there may be ninjas who are hostile to Konoha Village on stage this year.

Even if the host Fang Gushan family will try to avoid a direct confrontation between them, there is no guarantee that they will meet on a narrow road.

After all, the rules are there. As long as you keep winning, you will always meet and compete.

Most of the children present, except for a few wearing ninja forehead protectors, are children who have not experienced much in the world. For them, proper education is necessary.

It was the first time for most of them to leave Fu Konoha Village and go to such a distant place to participate in a competition.

During the closed-door special training, the unsuccessful Uzumaki Naruto looked at the classroom with several empty seats in dissatisfaction, and said glumly to the lazy Akimichi Choji:

"That's great, why can't I go? Even that guy Sasuke was chosen..."

Akimichi Choji replied while chewing snacks:

"Naruto, I think you should be a little self-aware. Sasuke is the chief student, so it is not natural for him to be chosen. You are the last one, so it is right not to look for you..."

"Didn't you and Shikamaru go too? Just like me."

"Idiot."

The sleepy Nara Shikamaru yawned, laughed and cursed a few words in an annoyed tone,

"This kind of thing depends on the person. Chouji and I don't want to go. Aren't you going to have a dental appointment?"

"I really want to ask him how he got in. If he had known it, he would have taught me something. I have never left Konoha Village even though I have grown up."

Uzumaki Naruto, who was lying on the table in disappointment, glanced at the much empty classroom, and suddenly saw a conspicuous red color.

"Huh? Why is Xianglin here? She shouldn't be."

"You are really stupid. There are few people in the whole village who are familiar with the 'King of Fighting', except her. You don't know? The head of the organizer Gushan family is his father. There is no need for a basic explanation."

"Gushan family? What do you do..."

Uzumaki Naruto, who had no idea about this, tilted his head and thought for a while, then seemed to suddenly remember something,

"By the way, Xianglin's full name is Gushan Xianglin. It turns out her family is quite powerful."

"It's not a question of whether it's powerful or not."

Even Akimichi Choji began to wonder if there was something wrong with Naruto Uzumaki's brain. You may have never heard of other secular families in the entire Fire Country. The two largest branches of the royal family, the Genpei clan, are clearly written in the textbooks.

Genji became the daimyo of the Fire Country, and the direct heir of the Taira clan was Furugi. They were comparable to the Senju and Uchiha of Konoha Village, and even had a closer relationship.

"To put it bluntly, their family owns half of the Fire Country, and their family is involved in several of the most profitable industries in Konoha Village. I suspect that the entire Konoha Village combined may not be as rich as Xiang Rin's father.

"

Nara Shikamaru continued to hit the target, exposing Naruto Uzumaki's shallow understanding of common sense, which reached the level of lawlessness.

"Wow, doesn't that mean you can buy whatever you want? By the way, I've met his parents. They have three very cute sisters. His mother is also very gentle and has red hair. What's her name?

?"port

"Hey. You'd better read more books to avoid leaving the village and causing big trouble."

Forced to sit up, Nara Shikamaru answered seriously,

"Xiang Rin's father is Gusugi Bosui. He was once a student of the ninja school. However, he did not become a ninja due to some special reasons. His mother's name is Hongye. It is rumored that she is a remnant of the Uzumaki family. Now, the Uzumaki country is being rebuilt, and it should be their couple.

Handwriting..."

"Wait, Uzumaki?"

"Eh? I thought you knew, didn't Xiang Rin say it before? When she was very young, her surname was Uzumaki, and she later took on her father's surname."

"Then...isn't it the same as me? What a coincidence."

"Sure enough, he is an idiot."

Nara Shikamaru, who gave up continuing his explanation, seemed to have exhausted all his strength today, lying on the table and muttering listlessly,

"There is nothing new in the ninja world. All people with the surname Uzumaki have a common ancestor. This means that you and Xiang Rin may be distant relatives."

"Is that so?"

Uzumaki Naruto, who had no impression of his parents and family at all, stared at Xianglin for a long time, but he didn't find anything similar between himself and her.

As if sensing someone's attention, Xiang Rin turned around and looked over, causing the overly presumptuous Uzumaki Naruto to lower his head in embarrassment.

"Shikamaru, Choji, I don't think Kaoru is a lavish person. Is the family really that rich?"

We are obviously classmates who usually study in the same classroom, but suddenly we were told that the father of one of them was the richest man in the world. It was really unrealistic. Bu

"Let's put it this way, Xianglin's custom-made uniform is enough for all your food expenses from birth to now."

"Isn't it right? When I was watching the actual training class, I was scratched several times by Sasuke. If she asked for compensation, wouldn't Sasuke be able to afford it?"

"It doesn't matter whether Sasuke can afford it or not. I think if you don't listen again, you will have to be punished a little. What do you think, Naruto?"

At this moment, Umino Iruka, who was holding back his anger and forcing out a smile, his eyebrows twitching wildly, stared at the stunned Naruto fiercely,

"Do you have any objection to cleaning the school building with me after class today?"

"knew."

Even though he was extremely reluctant, Uzumaki Naruto, who knew he was in the wrong, had no choice but to agree. When he turned around, he saw Nara Shikamaru listening to the class seriously, and Akimichi Choji also hiding snacks, looking like a good student.

The world where only Naruto Uzumaki was injured was achieved.

He is always the stupid person.

More than an hour later, the students left one after another. Before Xianglin left, he walked up to Naruto who was a little tired and asked:

"Do you have any questions, Naruto-san? Although I don't talk to you much usually, if you need help, if it's not troublesome, I don't mind helping you..."

"Your family is very rich?"

"My father's family is very wealthy. I have never made any money, so I can't say anything..."

"As expected. Then...I heard that your mother's surname is Uzumaki, which is the same as mine. Is there some connection?"

"Sorry, I'm still young and don't know much about adults. I can probably guess a little bit of what you want to ask, but I don't have anything I can tell you. I'm sorry."

In the past, Xianglin still didn't understand why his father wanted to be more cautious with this blond kid with mediocre academic performance and low strength. Now, through the connection of the violent chakra in Sesshomaru's body, Xianglin finally sensed it.

The obscure but unsettling chakra in Uzumaki Naruto's body.

The catharsis is like a raging fire, and the depth is like a bottomless abyss.

This is simply not something a person should have.

"monster!"

Being in a solitary situation, the villagers intentionally or unintentionally excluded and abused me, and were under almost constant surveillance.

All this proves that Uzumaki Naruto's secrets are not inferior to Uchiha Sasuke, Kurama Yakumo and himself.

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it."

Not hearing any news about his parents, Uzumaki Naruto concealed his disappointment with an awkward smile.

"Then...I'll leave first. See you tomorrow."

Waving goodbye to Xiang Rin, he looked at the school field next door, where there were Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji, Shiro and other masters. Starting the day after tomorrow, Xiang Rin will join them.
