Ninja Ice House

Originally, Gushan Bushui still had the idea of ​​discovering a few talents in the first "Young King of Fighters" exhibition competition, but after looking at the list of finalists, he had to give up.

In the original timeline, there was no one who would succeed in the future. Even the ninjas from several small ninja villages were marginal figures who could not succeed in their respective territories. If they wanted to use a new platform,

Try your luck with the miscellaneous fish.

"Young Master, you can try to find more talents in the clan. There are many young people waiting to be discovered by the master's family. There is really no need to expect too much from those outside..."

Gushan Bushui sat on the rostrum, and Yasukawa Zaihara stood aside. He seemed to have noticed something, and couldn't help but suggest,

"Most of those who claim to have unappreciated talents are people with high ambitions and low abilities, and no self-awareness..."

"Um!"

He responded noncommittally, and Gu Shan Bu Shui sighed slightly in his heart.

How could Gu Shan Bu Shui not understand these principles?

The Gusugi family is a conservative family, but the people at the helm in recent generations have been quite enlightened. The bloated and huge force still maintains a minimum of vitality. Although it is faltering, it is still stable.

The foundation accumulated over the years is extremely rich, it has been involved in all walks of life, and it has also cultivated a large number of key talents.

The only weak areas are ninja and training. If he didn't think about using his "foresight" to promote a few "plot characters" who could stand out in the future, Gushan Bushui wouldn't bother to care about these trivial matters.

Those who are truly capable are either in the ninja village or working for the daimyo and big nobles like the Furusugi family. Naturally, they have gathered many talents who are waiting for opportunities.

Togakushi Hinode, Momiji, etc. are all the best in the clan. Yasukawa Zaihara was also recently promoted and is a very useful helper.

What kind of "traveler" needs to go around fighting guerrillas, recruiting talents, and satisfying his "collecting habit"?

He has no background and can only work hard on his own as a "good-for-nothing" or "break-off-engagement" type, so he needs the help of "original characters".

Of course, the ancient cedar water divination is also needed, but it is not something like the wind demon clan, God knows, or the sea monster. They are useful, but they cannot play a decisive role.

There are still many useful confidants within the Furusugi family. There are probably none like Hatake Kakashi, the junior governor of the family, Metkai and the others, the Twelve Ninja of Konoha, Shiranui Genma, and Ebisu.

It's not easy to find "supporting characters" either. There are some elites like Mizuki and Umino Yinluka who can be picked out.

With a large population base, we cannot count on the most amazing geniuses and children of destiny, but there are still many talents who can do practical things.

What did Yasukawa Zaihara mean, and Gushan Bushui didn't understand?

For such a big family, they can't choose a few old monks who can chant sutras, so they have to find Yehu Chan from outside?

For example, Kazuma, who became famous in the "King of Fighters" competition, was recommended to the daimyo and is now the leader of the guardian ninja.

In fact, the ones recommended together with Kazuma were the elites trained within the Furusugi family, collectively known as the Thunder Release Four: Beizi, Nanwu, Xidu, and Dongmao.

These four people were originally selected as confidants as the bodyguards of the head of the Furusugi family. Later, due to various reasons, they were assigned to the daimyo guardian ninja.

It's not that big nobles like the Kosugi family don't have the strength to train masters, but they can't train a large number of ninjas in a systematic and large-scale way like a ninja village.

After establishing an advantage in the ninja village, they absorbed almost all the essence of the ninja clan during the Warring States Period, and developed ninjutsu to the present level, which the noble forces headed by the daimyo could not imitate.

Some time ago, Asuma Sarutobi joined the Guardian Ninja, and the influence was much greater than expected. With the "son of the current Hokage" as a sign, the daimyo's attempt to recruit masters from the Land of Fire has also achieved some results.

Chiriku, the monk of the Fire Temple, reluctantly nodded for Sarutobi Asuma's sake after repeatedly declining.

Because of this, it is actually inappropriate for Major Governor Gu Shan to promote few talents within the clan, but to entrust important responsibilities to outsiders who have surrendered halfway.

"It shouldn't be me who is rushing to recruit talents, but the civil servants and military generals who are in the group, vying for performance, seeking favor and promotion."

The complicated social system is designed to allow "meat eaters" like the Gusugi family to select people who are willing to serve and have the ability to contribute and consolidate the family's status. It is necessary to break the rules appropriately and promote them beyond the level. If you supplement and adjust it frequently, it is suspected of disrupting order and destroying the foundation of your own family.

Off the field, the ninjas of the Sound Ninja Village and the Ninja of the Grass Ninja Village were beaten in turn by the young samurai from the Kingdom of Iron in the team competition. They reluctantly watched the "tin can" wearing shiny armor win the crown.

"In a contest between chuunin and below, the samurai has a huge advantage!"

Gu Shanbu Shui, who had a graceful smile on his face and pretended to applaud in congratulations, commented in a low voice,

"The flashy three-skin jutsu and ninja tool throwing can't penetrate heavy armor defenses, and genin basically don't know C-level or above ninjutsu. It's normal to not be the opponent of a samurai who has been training his body and honing his sword skills since he was a child..."

Yasukawa Zaihara responded with compliments:

"That's true. But when it comes to all age groups, it's not like that. Except for a few very outstanding samurai, most of them are fooled by ninjas."

"The rules for the youth group next year need to be changed. The competition scenes are not limited to the arena, naval battles, swamps, deserts, wastelands, and mazes. They should be included to provide space for young people with special talents to develop. Otherwise, fairness cannot be guaranteed and young people will be frustrated. Ninja’s motivation to participate.”

Having made the decision, Kosugi Bushui ordered, and Yasukawa Zaihara agreed and recorded it on the schedule.

"The venue is about to be expanded, and the existing training ground is no longer enough."

"I filled in several reefs near Yuqi Island to make land, and then developed it. I hired earth escape ninjas to help fill the sea and build the land, lay the foundation and rammed the earth. The cost will be withdrawn from my personal development account, and..."

Gu Shanbu Shui lowered his voice and said,

"Those elite mermaids who followed me north, I sent them to build underwater fortresses as a defense chain to protect Yuqi Island."

After writing down this key requirement, Yasukawa Zaihara asked again:

"The training ground on the water was built in accordance with the requirements of the 'King of Fighters' competition. This is not a problem, but the corresponding stands and service points cannot be taken into account. How should we deal with it?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui waved his hand as a matter of course:

"The sub-events are adapted to local conditions. The main venue can be displayed with closed-circuit televisions. A fully enclosed ceiling is built at the main venue on Yuqi Island, with three large screens hung in the middle to display the competition conditions at other venues."

"CCTV?"

This new technology is indeed already being used in some places, but it is not mature enough to say how mature it is. Is it too early to have high hopes for it?

After hesitating for a while, Yasukawa Zaihara still didn't ask any more questions.

The master has made a request and everything must be explained clearly, so what do you want your subordinates to do?

If there are conditions, you have to go forward. If there are no conditions, you have to create conditions. It is the duty of the minister to solve problems for the master's family, instead of asking about everything in detail, which seems too incompetent.

…

After Gu Shan Bu Shui dressed up in his best attire and presented awards to the three young samurai who won the first place, he returned to his manor to rest for a while.

After washing up, Kazuma had been waiting in the reception room for a long time.

"After seeing blood, I became like a real kingly lion, instead of the previous one who looked majestic and majestic, but actually had a fierce temperament. It seems that the young governor has gained a lot along the way...

…”

"Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, marry thousands of flowers...ah!"

Gushanbu Shui accidentally spilled the beans and couldn't help but wipe Tulu Piao's mouth.

“If you are well-informed, you will always gain something!”

He had known for a long time that Gusugi Bushui was not a guy who liked ostentation and was very easy-going in private. Kazuma did not ask "Wanlihua" which girl was hidden by the Golden House, but smiled easily:

"It's different! People who are used to seeing life and death can naturally feel the smell of blood that used to take human lives from the young governor. I have also heard about the turmoil in the Bear Country. It seems that the young governor has not contributed much in it.

few……"

"Not worth mentioning!"

Pretending to be humble, Gu Shanbu Shui said politely and perfunctorily,

"During this period, are there any talents who have been spotted?"

"There are some, but I always feel that they are not enough. It is so hard to find people like the foursome of Lei Dun, who have good strength, tacit cooperation, and super powerful combined attack skills!"

[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]

After all, they are elites trained by the Gushan family at a great cost, and they are definitely not comparable to those outside.

"However, there are about a dozen interesting characters. After contacting them, I feel that they are just so-so. I will decide based on the performance after the 'King of Fighting' competition is over. I guess it will be good if half of them pass the test!"

"About five, which is barely enough!"

Fusugi Fusui can guess some of Kazuma's thoughts. Among the current guardian ninjas, Kazuma, Sarutobi Asuma, Jilu, and the Thunderbolt quartet are the confidants of the Kosugi family.

, naturally sided with the great nobles headed by the daimyo, so it was unlikely that they would change their camp.

As the leader, Kazuma, except for a few cronies who are not worthy of being on the stage, is actually a loner.

If you really have any ideas, you can't actually mobilize a few people.

Such a situation is naturally not what Kazuma wants to see. Selecting his subordinates from the "King of Fighting" competition held by the Furusugi family is the fastest way Kazuma can think of to expand his influence.

If it weren't for Kazuma who was firmly against the Ninja Village, Kosugi Bosui wouldn't even want to cooperate with him.

Sometimes we are so helpless. Kazuma's philosophy actually conflicts seriously with Gushan Bushui, but we still have to win over them. Even if we suffer some losses, we still have to join forces to suppress the influence of Ninja Village.

Looking through the files in his hand, Gu Shan Bu Shui remembered several highlighted characters.

…

Across the sea from Yuqi Island, Cape Keta, the head of the Hyuga family, Hinata Hiashi, took a dozen Konoha ninjas, nearly a fighting regiment, on a liner that shuttled between the two sides.

The "King of Fighting" competition is about to open, and there are so many dignitaries attending the ceremony. It is really difficult to prevent the ninjas from using the power of the Fusagi family alone. At this time every year, a large-scale mission will be issued to the Leaf Village.

, depending on the arrival of guests, Konoha ninjas will be hired to perform important protection.

This year is the second time Hyuga Hizashi has come to Yuqi Island to carry out this mission. The last time was nine years ago. Together with his younger brother Hyuga Hizashi, they entered the core of the Gusugi clan as the village advisor and elder moved to Koharu.

When the Third Ninja War was in full swing, the Furusugi family spent a lot of money to hire high-ranking Konoha ninjas, which really helped the village, which was struggling at the beginning, to regain some blood.

After so many years, things have changed, and I am now the father of two daughters. I no longer have the excitement I felt when I traveled far away to see the world.

Originally, when the village sent this mission, the Hyuga clan leader thought about rejecting it, but then he thought about it. His eldest daughter seemed to have a good relationship with the concubine of the Furusugi clan at the ninja school, even though Hyuga Hinata was too cowardly.

His character is Hinata Hinata, and he is also a descendant of the Hyuga clan. He was not completely given up before being defeated by Hinata Hanabi, who was five years younger.

The Hyuga family is the ninja clan in Konoha Village that has the most frequent interactions with worldly nobles. If it weren't for the existence of caged birds, there would be many people who wanted to marry the Hyuga family.

"It's time to go and say hello. The Uchiha are making too much noise, so it's a good idea to go outside to avoid the limelight, so as not to get involved in the turmoil."

It is also a good idea to contact allies in the name of personal relationships with the next generation and avoid places of trouble.

The Hyuga family is so big that it's not easy to stay out of the situation. Both sides are going to see red with their bayonets. With the Hyuga family next to them, they won't feel at ease.

Recently, in order to evade requests and temptations from various parties, the Hyuga clan leader has also been racking his brains.

Fortunately, these worries were left behind as the cool sea breeze entered my lungs.

The Hyuga clan leader was shocked and told several of his subordinates:

"The Kosugi family has strict rules, don't break any taboos. In addition, do your own thing well, and don't force yourself to do anything extra. Although the thousand-year-old wealthy family is not a ninja clan, it has already lost its country, and it is unknown how many trump cards are hidden behind it.

We don’t dare to mess with some trash fish, so what we need to do is to eliminate hidden dangers in the venue and protect the safety of the daimyo and his relatives.”

Small forces dare not reach out randomly, and the five major ninja villages will not cause trouble on such occasions. An accident may become the trigger of the Fourth Ninja World War, and the war will not break out because of lack of preparation.

Among the generals who went to Yuqi Island this time, Mitarashi Anko, Moonlight Hayate, and Morino Yinhiki each led a four-person team and were directly responsible for Hinata and Hinata.

After the staid leader left, Mitarai Anko, who was out of her mind, smiled and said to several colleagues:

"I heard it's very lively. It's the number one 'fighting tournament' in the world. It would be great if we could also participate!"

"Actually, it's possible!"

Morino Yinbixi, who was smiling but not smiling, responded,

"No one has ever said that active ninjas from the five major ninja villages are not allowed to participate..."

However, everyone ignored it by convention.

Because of the Ninja World War, the Chunin Examination is often suspended. Now the "King of Fighters" is in its 16th year, and it continues year after year. In a few years, its influence will probably exceed that of the Chunin Examination.

At that time, there may be some differences. The ninjas of the five great ninja villages are also willing to put aside their prejudices and come to Yuqi Island to fight for the title of "No. 1 in the world".

The winners who have become famous over the years are all in the eyes of everyone, and it is impossible not to be tempted. However, there are still many unexplainable obstacles before some things can be achieved.
