Ninja Ice House

It is hard to imagine a scene where someone as proud as Sasuke Uchiha mingles with his classmates.

Even Xiang Rin and Uchiha Sasuke are not necessarily friends. The friendship that sprouted in the competitive relationship of chasing each other is not close enough to talk too much privately.

The suggestion to let Sasuke communicate more with his peers was just a casual remark, and Xiang Rin didn't take it to heart.

Amidst the laziness of the students, Uno Iruka lectured tirelessly, and then announced that school was over, and the children who couldn't wait for a long time hurried away.

After everyone left one after another and greeted Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura, Kaoru quickly found Uchiha Sasuke who was about to go home.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to ask you something small. There is a maple forest outside the village. It belongs to your Uchiha family. Do you want to sell it?"

"Uh?"

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Sasuke, who did not expect a female classmate to ask such a question, asked in amazement,

"I don't know about these, do you want to buy them?"

"Yes. The training ground in my manor is too small. If you want to train Sesshomaru and Youguimaru, there is not enough space."

The Gushan family is serious about buying land, but there are some things where it's really not good to talk about business directly. It's better to have a little breath, so as to avoid embarrassment after meeting.

"It turns out that it is necessary for practice. I have to go back and ask my father to find out. It's hard to say too much now. Why don't you let the parents talk to my father directly? I can't talk about this kind of thing..."

"Ask first. If your house doesn't sell it, I'll ask Shikamaru. His medicine garden is so big that many places are empty and unusable. It's too wasteful."

"Whether you need it or not is a private matter of other people's family. I know your family is very rich, but there are some things that can't be bought with money."

"Understood, you don't need to preach."

Xianglin waved his hand impatiently,

"The maple forest at the bend of Kamogawa in the south, don't get it wrong."

After finishing speaking, Xiang Rin left very simply, Uchiha Sasuke, who felt that he was not respected, muttered a few words, and after returning home, he still mentioned this matter to Fuqing Uchiha Fugaku.

One night later, Uchiha Fugaku and his two confidants came to a maple forest where the river turned sharply and the water flowed quickly without anyone noticing.

When the moon was covered by the dark clouds in the sky, and there was no other movement except for the sound of frogs and insects, there was a sound of turbulent water on the river surface. Under the gaze of a few sharing eyes, seven people in dark gray robes A figure in uniform walked over from the bottom of the river.

"Is it the Uchiha patriarch?"

"It's me. You are the connectors?"

Uchiha Fugaku frowned, looking at a few weird and wet guys.

No need to try, at such a short distance, you can understand with your chakra perception, the strength of the seven people on the opposite side is not much stronger, and a jonin can sweep away without any effort.

"I am the leader in charge of this negotiation. You can call me 'Chai Zhou'. I am ordered by the young governor to serve the patriarch."

He came here solemnly, but he was greeted by such a few crooked melons, Fugaku Uchiha doubted the sincerity of the other party a little bit.

"How are you going to do it?"

"The surrounding maple grove, together with the nearby hills, were sold by the Uchiha family to the Gusugi family at a price that was 45% lower than the market valuation. Please make up an excuse. The negotiation will take one and a half months, and I will give you enough time Get ready. After midnight in [-] days, Uchiha will send the people who need to be picked up here, and leave the rest to us.”

"here?"

Uchiha Fugaku took a look at the surrounding conditions. The trees were shady, lush and well concealed. However, the hydrological conditions were average. Although the river was wide, the current was too fast, so it was not suitable for berthing large ships.

"The number of people I discussed with the young governor is 60 people, most of whom are children with average combat effectiveness. How do you send them away safely?"

"Master Patriarch, don't worry too much, don't say sixty, six hundred is not a problem, even if there are 6000 people, with a little care, they can come and go freely without anyone noticing."

After sizing Uchiha Fugaku's face, Shibashu said with a smile,

"It seems that if I don't show you something real, I won't be relieved."

After finishing speaking, Chai Zhou clapped his hands rhythmically, and several huge strange fish suddenly rose up from the water, lined up very neatly, swam to the shore, opened their mouths wide, like a small room three or four meters high.

At first glance, it is easy to accommodate more than a dozen people. If it is squeezed, it should be able to accommodate more than [-] people.

There are nine such big fish showing their faces, and the shadows are floating underwater. It is really hard to see how many killers there are.

"Underwater psychic beast, this is a good idea."

"As long as you are satisfied."

Chai Zhou said with great satisfaction,

"I'm just a subordinate who handles affairs. I have limited strength and lack of wisdom. I'm more loyal than ever. I obey the orders of the young governor. Since I was sent to solve problems for the patriarch, I will naturally do my best."

"Looks good..."

In the territory of Muye Village, it is very dangerous to escape by land, water or the sky. There are many hidden enchantments and secret sentries nearby. If you are not careful, you will be caught.

"However, can these underwater psychic beasts escape Bai Yan's detection?"

"Which Hyuga clansman would open his eyes and count the number of fish underwater? Of course, your worries are not unreasonable. Regarding this point, the young governor also mentioned that we have a perfect plan for how to guard against the eyes. Even , the patriarch has a pass, and he can provide some help."

"Oh? The Gushan family is already so powerful? They don't even care about it."

"We have the Blood Succession Boundary that restrains Baiyan's insight ability, which has been proven to be very effective."

The limit of blood succession that restrains supercilious eyes?

Uchiha Fugaku's heart trembled, and he immediately concealed his emotions, echoing:

"If so, it would be perfect."

After finishing speaking, Uchiha Fugaku handed over a thick booklet, which contained a list of Uchiha family members who were about to be sent out of Konoha Village.

Chai Zhou also gave Uchiha Fugaku a scroll.

"Three psychic psychics, limited to two months, expired and invalid. If necessary, you can directly contact Master Shaodu."

Pressing down on the hood, Chai Zhou turned around, got into the mouth of the big fish with a few of his subordinates, followed the strange fish to dive, and disappeared into the night.

"Master Patriarch, is this the end?"

"How difficult can it be? Rather, the more complicated the plan, the more likely it will fail in an accident, and the simpler and more effective it will be."

Uchiha Fugaku said calmly,

"By the way, what happened this time also reminded me. The family business should be cashed out and taken away. If our family survives the difficulties, it will not be too late to buy the family business with money. Once something unexpected happens, this wealth can also become a treasure." foundation of revival."

It would be a big loss if you stumbled into the crisis of genocide head-on so stupidly, and the huge family business made others cheaper.

There are no special products in the rotten land nearby, and the maple forests are left to grow freely. Only a few ethnic groups collect a little maple gum when necessary to make maple syrup for their own consumption.

The Uchiha family is not keen on farming to raise a family, reclaiming manors and so on. Even though there is a large piece of land near Konoha Village, the development level is extremely low, and it is basically not used much.

The profits of farming and animal husbandry in this era are too low. There are no modern irrigation facilities, and no synthetic ammonia factories to prepare fertilizers. The harvest depends largely on the face of God.

In the past, these lands, let alone selling them, were regarded as disgusting.

It’s not that there is no value, but taking over and exploiting these land values ​​to achieve positive returns requires a huge initial investment. Only by scaling up can we reduce costs and make profits look better.

Ordinary people can't afford it, and wealthy families look down on it. The audience of the Uchiha family's block of land is too narrow.

"Is it too early to sell? Some industries are still very valuable. If they are sold at a low price, they will not be bought back at a higher price."

"The money is gone, as long as the family is still there, sooner or later they won't be able to earn it back. If the people are gone, my family has accumulated for thousands of years, and it is bound to be cheaper for others."

Uchiha Fugaku said firmly,

"It's not about selling all of them, but planning ahead, so as not to be caught off guard when you want to find a buyer, and you can only be slaughtered in the end."

Now it seems that the Gushan family seems to have a strong willingness to take over. If they take the opportunity to sell them more, they can get back some funds and buy more ninja tools to make the family stronger and increase their chances of survival.

It is actually not easy to find a buyer who is not afraid of the pressure of Konoha Village and takes over the property of the Uchiha family.

……

When the undercurrent in Konoha Village was surging, and the Uchiha family was in turmoil, Uchiha Fugaku was arranging a group of clansmen to gather together under the organization of his confidants.

Some fell into the water and disappeared, no one was alive, no corpse was seen when dead, some died suddenly after sudden illness, and there was no grand funeral ceremony, but they were buried quickly, with little delay.

There were even a few newborn children who were suddenly infected with acute infectious diseases and died.

Recently, when it comes to the Uchiha family, the villagers like to watch the unpopular Uchiha family's "unlucky" jokes.

Satirizing nobles in trouble will always be an enduring favorite of the market.

By the time Hokage III Sarutobi Hiruzen paid attention to this information, nearly ten people in the Uchiha family had accidents on the surface.

"Something's wrong."

The sensitive Sarutobi Hiruzen instinctively sensed the risk, but Anbu investigated several times and found nothing wrong.

We can't dig out those dead Uchiha children for autopsy, right?

Some things that violate human ethics should be avoided as much as possible unless necessary.

Gushan Bushui, who indirectly led all this, has returned to Yuqi Island to prepare for this year's "King of Fighters" challenge.

There was a big news last year, but this year, Gu Shan Bu Shui didn't want it to be reduced to mediocrity.

In the round after round of publicity, the "seed players" who received the invitation letter in advance, skipped the audition, and entered the second round of the rematch gradually became known.

This year, the loudest voice was Akila of Longtangyuan.

He is not only the No. [-] seed "officially hand-picked", but also a gymnastics consultant hired by the Gushan family with a lot of money.

After the Guardian Ninja and Horse were killed for launching a rebellion, this well-known ninja martial arts master has become the favorite to win this competition, and is generally considered to be the next Wama. time issue.

Not only that, the three sons of Longtangyuan Akila, Longtangyuan Phantom General, Longtangyuan Liujiao and Longtangyuan Xieguang will also form a team to participate in the youth group King of Fighters team competition.

It's a pity that Akila in Longtangyuan doesn't have a daughter who doesn't give way to a man, nor does he have handsome and unrestrained disciples. His three sons are not bad, but they are uglier than the other. They want to create a huge momentum. It's a bit difficult.

"It's a pity that the template of the Extreme Karate Dragon Tiger Fist team can't be used. The Jin team is a bit messy, but the characteristics of the three brothers are not obvious enough.It doesn't matter if he's not handsome, but he's so ugly that he has no characteristics. 』

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of last year's enthusiasm to form a three-artifact hero combination. After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. I have to keep pace with major events. It is like this every year, and it is easy to get tired of aesthetics.

"Forget it this year, the Uchiha family will be wiped out, even if there is enthusiasm, it will be suppressed.Come back next year! 』

During this period of time, the Gushan family was too conspicuous. As the top rich family in the Land of Fire, it was necessary to maintain a certain sense of mystery.

"It's another year, No.17, time flies so fast."

Changing his outfit, the former "King of Fighters" winner, now aliased as Jiangtu, stood on the viewing platform, watching the crowds coming and going below, and many tourists from other places visited the exhibition halls one by one.

Longtangyuan Akira's popularity is the most popular, even more popular than the horses in the past few years.

It's not that he is not as good as Akira in Longtangyuan with horses, but that the "King of Fighters" challenge a few years ago did not receive as much attention as this year.

Every year, this grand event that has gradually become an annual "trend" has become more and more influential. Even if the Gushan family does not want to continue, someone will continue to take over the title.

"That taijutsu ninja has a good image, and the people you are looking for are all very powerful. Where did you find these talents whose strength is far greater than their fame?"

There is Hema in the front, and Akira in the back.

These people were originally famous, but they were only limited to one place, and their luck was not as good as being famous all over the world now.

Last year's winner, Yanhu, was also in this category, but his strength was slightly inferior.

You can't expect everyone to have an encounter with Ma and Akila in Longtangyuan. Like Yanhu, it is the standard "carp jumping over the dragon's gate", and the golden phoenix flew out of the pheasant's nest.

Yanhu was more unlucky. He met a scumbag like Hema. If he honestly worked as a guardian for a few years, and then found a big nobleman to hug his thigh, he would change his family in the future and become a small nobleman.

"The intelligence network of the Gushan family is far more powerful than you imagine."

"I prefer to believe that this is the young governor's personal ability. Of course, I don't mean to ask, I'm just curious."

Shrugging with a smile, Jiang Tu changed the subject and asked,

"When will you go to the country of the vortex? It is very troublesome to build a new country and lay the foundation. I have to explore the way. Also, the few subordinates you assigned have to be 'tuned' to see if they are suitable for use."

"Don't worry, in a few months, there will be real elites for you to drive."
