Ninja Ice House

Not long after the daimyo arrived, Hiruzen Sarutobi left Konoha Village for the rare occasion and came to visit the manor. The Sandaime, who had only heard about it and observed it from a distance, but had not actually come in to visit, was still a little curious about this place.

It is really not easy to build such a beautiful manor castle in a barren land. Spending money to build it is only one aspect. What is really surprising is that the Gushan family can actually use it as the core on private land.

A small town was created out of nowhere.

Before this, there were no large-scale human settlements within tens of kilometers around Konoha Village.

Of course, Konoha Village is the well-deserved center of this land. However, it is no longer possible. Within a few kilometers of Konoha Village, there is a castle-like manor that is not less prosperous. Everything has changed.

Because the core of this area is the palace specially prepared for Gushan Bushui and his family, and there are also a lot of entertainment venues set up outside to serve dignitaries.

This place is very close to Konoha Village. It was originally intended as a temporary stop for rest and recuperation. There is no official government office. It turns out that it is deserted because the terrain is difficult and development is difficult, and no one wants to be taken advantage of.

Looking at the map, we can actually easily tell that this place is stuck on a major traffic road. Once the town is formed, there will definitely be a lot of people traveling from north to south.

In fact, outside the current castle-like manor, there is a large block with various eating, drinking and entertainment facilities. The nearby Konoha Village does not have a unique Kabuki Hall, large and small, in various styles.

Bars, clubs, hotels, etc. are all available.

Of course, there are still various restrictions on the business of places in special industries. In addition, department stores, concert halls, coffee houses, cinemas, theaters and entertainment halls are becoming more and more popular. There are many places here that can catch up and replace Konoha.

The trend of villages becoming famous central cities far and wide.

Gushan Bushui actually didn't pay much attention to this place earlier. He thought that after staying in the ninja school for six years and becoming a ninja, he wouldn't need this temporary residence.

Unexpectedly, I stayed in Konoha Village for more than ten years. The team that originally served Kosugi Bushui and his entourage has grown stronger, and the shops and practitioners provide various daily necessities and leisure enjoyment for the servants and guards.

More and more, and then it became what it is now.

In private, when everyone communicates, they call this castle-like manor

"Furusugi Shinjuku" has become familiar to people over time.

"Shinjuku Town". In fact, even the Konoha ninjas have gradually accepted this statement, and they will come to Shinjuku Town for recreation from time to time after stressful tasks. After all, the entertainment service industry here is not at all like that of Konoha Village.

A level of enjoyment.

After visiting the Daimyo and the Furusugi family, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not in a hurry to leave, and wandered around Shinjuku Town while observing.

"It's really a place that makes people forget to leave!" Compared with the simple and unpretentious style of Konoha Village, the atmosphere of Shinjuku Town is obviously full of money and wealth.

That kind of luxury and nobility from the inside out cannot be cultivated by a wealthy family like the Gushan family that has existed for thousands of years.

This is not to show their dignity, but this is how they are. Even if they are not very ostentatious, no one will compete with them for wealth. No one dared to do so before, and now no one even bares their teeth.

Feeling Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes frequently looking at the Kabuki Hall, Shiranui Genma sighed: "Sandaime, it's not dark yet and many places are not open. Should we look at other places first?" Accompanying Sarutobi this time

Hiruzen came, in addition to Shiranui Genma and Hakatsuki, there was also a secret sentinel, Laiyin Wasi. The three of them could use the Flying Thunder God Formation. Once in danger, they could work together to use time and space ninjutsu to destroy Sarutobi Sun.

Send him back to Konoha Village.

Although it is so close to Konoha Village and is in an area controlled by the Furusugi family, there should be no danger, but there is no guarantee.

Just when the group of people were dazzled by the sight, a group of luxury carriages drove towards them. The Konoha ninjas gave way to the roadside a little, but unexpectedly the carriage stopped beside them, and then three people walked out.

"It's really the Sandaime's face. Long time no see."

"Princess Liuli, Mr. Zhengcheng, and Mrs. Shijimi, nice to meet you."

"I really didn't expect to see you here, this is..."

"I just paid a visit to the daimyo and had a conversation, and I'm about to return."

"Don't stay a little longer? It will get dark soon and it will be even more lively..."

"Forget it, there are still things in the village, so there's no need to delay."

"Then... I won't bother you. In a few days, our family will go to your village to chat."

"Welcome!" The annual Chunin Exam is not only a display of strength, but also an important social event.

This year's Chuunin Examination actually had no gimmicks to talk about, but the Daimyo family and the Fusagi family came together the most.

There are only a handful of years when all the members of the Genpei clan have cheered for so many Chuunin exams. After all, they are the most powerful people in the Fire Country. If they are gathered together like this, if someone takes the blame, the Fire Country will be in trouble.

It's going to change.

This kind of thing is both an honor and a pressure. The more distinguished guests present, the more prosperous Konoha Village is, but the security pressure will undoubtedly be much greater.

If something happens to any one of them, it will be a huge blow to the reputation of Konoha Village. Mrs. Shijimi, who was holding her beloved cat Xiaohu, looked at the retreating figure of Sarutobi Hiruzen and couldn't help but sigh.

"The Sandaime has become much older. It is estimated that he will abdicate in favor of someone new in the near future! I don't know who will take the position of the Fifth Generation..." Ruri Furugi chuckled and responded: "Anyway, it's all the Konoha ninjas who worry about.

It has nothing to do with us. We were delayed a little on the way, and I guess the others can’t wait any longer, and I don’t know if Xiaoyuan is going to make a fuss about eating again.”

"That's great. I don't know when Liangzhong will be willing to obey, get married, and give birth to a strong heir."

"Come on, come on! My grandson will come as soon as he says he will. Look at me, I am not prepared at all. I have become a grandmother at such a young age."

"I hope so!" Gushan Zhengcheng watched his sister-in-law and sister-in-law talking with a smile on his face, but his heart was peaceful.

Over the years, not only the Kosugi family has been thin, but also the daimyo family has very few direct heirs. According to the tradition of the Fire Country, if a good person does not have a serious heir, he will adopt a child from the Kosugi family and become the successor.

Crown Prince.

Just like when Kosugi Haruki was deposed and there was no direct heir, his cousin Princess Liuli changed her surname to Kosugi, recruited Masaki Yasukawa, inherited the family inheritance, and gave birth to Kosugi Bushui, until now.

This kind of thing happened more than once in ancient times. During the Warring States Period, the major ninja clans gathered under the Senju and Uchiha banners, forming two evenly matched parties. Attacks were endless, and the world was not at peace. The two Genpei clans fought for the unique

For orthodox status, there were fierce battles, and the East and West competed for hundreds of years. Finally, the order of one village and one country was established. The Warring States Period ended, and the two races were much more harmonious.

After several generations of marriage, the bloodlines of both parties have become very close. However, the dispute over family names still exists, but it is not as fierce and bloody as before.

Mrs. Shijimi obviously didn't want anyone from the Kosugi family to occupy the daimyo position in the future, so she talked about Yoshigege's blind date from time to time.

Many people would not dare to think about letting the child of a woman of low birth and a ninja become a daimyo. The Furusugi family has been quarreling for so many years, so they should not bring troubles to the daimyo.

Princess Liuli didn't seem to realize the hint in her sister-in-law's words at all. She was talking and laughing along the way. It wasn't until after greeting the elders and going back to their respective houses that Gushanzheng Cheng smiled and teased: "Our sister-in-law is a little anxious.

Afraid that our granddaughter will steal his place..."

"I know!"

"I'm just telling you, you don't understand! It's really difficult to cooperate with her."

"It's okay! It's just that the Gushan family is well managed by water divination, and I don't need to worry about it, so it's just easier. Liangshige has been learning water divination all the time, like a child who hasn't grown up. When will he have his own

Advocacy holds up the backbone of the country."

"The Daimyo is in his prime, so there is no need to worry about it for a while, Yoshijug... it's still early!"

"My parents are worried!" While the two were joking, Liang Zhong, who was at the center of the topic, was also receiving repeated advice from his parents.

In the children's playground a few hundred meters away, Xiang Ling and her three younger sisters shuttled among various entertainment facilities and toys.

The one here...is a little smaller than Yuqi Island, but has more tricks. It is the first time I have seen many local characteristics of gameplay.

"Sister, go and ask Chinatsu and Ikki to play together?"

"No, it's too late, they need to rest! You see, Xiao Jing and Xiao Si are a little tired and can't play anymore."

"Then... go back to eat?"

"Didn't you just eat cherry blossom rolls and fruit candies?"

"It's delicious, please eat more!" He took Xiaoyi's hand, then his two little sisters, and slowly walked home.

"Eh?" Xiao Hiiragi was suddenly startled, and immediately looked at each other.

"Grandpa and grandma are here, it's great." The doting grandparents would bring a lot of delicious food to their granddaughter every time they met, filling the big pocket prepared by Xiao Hiiragi.

This is the happiest time for Xiao Hiiragi... Konoha Village, a relatively quiet training ground, Uchiha Zuosuke has just finished today's practice, he is very tired, he found a clean place by the nearby stream.

Stone, take a break after sitting down.

The turmoil of the past two days has passed for the time being. Uchiha Sasuke's application for early graduation was indeed not approved.

Out of respect for Uchiha Sasuke's will, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not refuse directly and forcefully. Instead, after agreeing, he sent a powerful chuunin to check.

According to the results of the test battle, there is no doubt that Uchiha Sasuke lost. The opponent did not even use overly powerful ninjutsu, nor did he show any great blood inheritance limits. He only relied on throwing ninja tools and fists and kicks to defeat Uchiha.

Zuosuke was unable to fight back.

This also made the young man who had lost his ambition for revenge realize that the so-called ninja level did not necessarily represent the strength of his combat power.

exist

The so-called chunin-level masters who appeared in the "King of Fighting" challenge are nothing compared to the power hidden in Konoha Village.

"I'm still far away!" After resting for a while and regaining his strength, Uchiha Zuosuke got up and prepared to go home, maybe in time for lunch.

At this moment, there was a loud noise not far away. Uchiha Zuosuke frowned slightly, followed the sound, and moved forward lightly. After a while, he saw a familiar figure practicing.

With his rustic waistcoat, messy blond hair, and his annoyed complaints after a bad practice, he clearly looked like Uzumaki Naruto.

"Is it him?" There were not many people in the ninja school who could keep his name firmly in his mind, and Uzumaki Naruto happened to be one of them.

It's not that this person is very good, but that even though he is hated, he still has some qualities that make Uchiha Sasuke very sympathetic.

For example, the feeling of loneliness that makes people feel the same is a special temperament that can only be revealed involuntarily after being alone for a long time.

"You can already divide the shadow clone technique into three? The progress is really fast..." For a child in a ninja school, it is quite difficult to learn B-level ninjutsu. How can he progress to this level in such a short period of time?

It's really not easy at this level.

If you knew, even Uchiha Sasuke, whose combat power is close to that of a chuunin, has not yet mastered any ninjutsu with a difficulty level of B level.

Generally speaking, children's weak physique and shallow chakra volume are destined to prevent them from achieving Ninjutsu above the B-level.

Of course, ninjas cannot be measured by common sense. There are always some with extraordinary talents.

"Monster", mastered some magical secret techniques in advance. After watching for a while, Uchiha Saosuke, who didn't find many highlights except the shadow clone technique, left.

Even if he has mastered the Shadow Clone Technique, the current Uzumaki Naruto is not strong enough. Because he failed to pass the examination for early graduation, Uchiha Sasuke has been in a high mood recently. He returned to the familiar bustling street and faced Sora.

As I walked towards the deserted home, I ran into a ninja who was about to pass by.

"Sasuke?"

"Shiro?" Looking at the other party's handsome face and the ninja forehead protector on his forehead, Uchiha Sasuke suppressed the envy in his heart,

"Just returned from a mission?"

"Yeah! Cleaning the river is not difficult, but it does take time."

"Is doing these low-level tasks good for improving your strength?"

"It's okay! For me, it doesn't affect my practice very much. As for you, I heard that you failed the early graduation exam..."

"Well! I still have some shortcomings..."

"That's it! Work hard!"

"Right..." Uchiha Sasuke asked after curiously calling Shiro who turned to leave.

"You are so strong and the team members are also very good. Why don't you take part in this year's Chunin Exam?"

"Teacher Hayama also thought about recommending it, but I thought about it and refused. I have just become a genin and it will take some time to adapt. Moreover, we are not ready to become a chuunin yet." Being able to fight is only one of the conditions for advancement.

Not sufficient.

What's more, Bai Xin is not very obsessed with the ninja level. He is still very satisfied with his current life.
