Ninja Ice House

After sending away Mizuki who was worried about gains and losses and a group of Konoha ninjas, Gushan Bumizu said a few words of relief. There were nearly 400 children, the youngest was six years old and the oldest was 13 years old.

In addition to the original admission quota, Gushan Bushui also reluctantly promoted some children with some special skills from the unsuccessful candidates, and assembled thirteen classes with nearly 30 students in each class.At present, each class can only be equipped with one first teacher, who teaches reading and writing, basic arithmetic and geometry, and also arranges a lot of sports and art elective courses.

They are all children who have not seen much of the world. It is too difficult to expect them to stay in the classroom and study honestly. Some extra-curricular teaching in line with nature is also necessary.

Because it is a full boarding school, after the Spring Festival, all these children will be taken over, and the management is semi-closed. The Gushan family, who has rich experience in running orphanages, will not be troubled by this problem.

"The school you run is basically a loss-making business. The tuition fee is symbolic, not to mention providing a lot of poverty subsidies and student subsidies, and even basic teaching materials are provided for free. You feel that you want to carry forward the cause of charity, yes Isn't it too much money to burn?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui couldn't help but smile wryly at Uncle Zhi Ji's ridicule.

In his previous life, he had an extremely profound cultural background, and the concept of changing one's destiny through reading was deeply rooted in the core of the culture, almost engraved into his genes.There is no such tradition in the ninja world, and no one shouts the biased words that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and no one touts the remarks that "the book has its own Yan Ruyu, and the book has its own golden house". Therefore, Gu Shanbu Shui wanted to open up the wisdom of the people, and the very first step was destined to be a terrible loss.

Not to mention tuition fees, the so-called subsidies and subsidies are just a gimmick to find money. As long as you apply for registration, almost all of them will not be approved.From compiling teaching materials to finalizing printing, building school buildings, arranging teachers, etc., a sea of ​​money has been spent.

Losing money is just a nice way of saying it. It is basically impossible to make money in basic education.

"It's a way to redistribute benefits. Even if you don't learn too much capital to live and live, you can still make a few more capable friends. Learning knowledge is one aspect, and building personal connections is also the only way to success. In the future No matter what you do, you must have a group of like-minded companions to help you, it is really too difficult to fight alone."

"Building bridges and repairing roads, giant ships and cannons, are you tired of spending time?"

"The last one that doesn't exist, don't talk nonsense..."

My cousin, who seems to have gotten better recently, also started to say some harmless jokes, but he still couldn't let go in front of people he didn't know well, and naturally he was far less energetic than the high-spirited nobleman back then.

"Besides fighting and fighting for power and profit, and realizing that you need to train your own team, you have matured a lot."

"I couldn't get away from it before, but I should have started a long time ago. I have talked to my father a few times, and it seems that there is a lot of resistance."

"Don't blame your cousin's husband for not being willing to give full support. He also has his own concerns."

Although Gushan Zhengcheng has held the power of the family for many years, he is only a son-in-law who joined halfway, and many things are difficult to do in a legitimate way.

Gu Shan Bu Shui is different, the only heir of the family, he doesn't even have any brothers and sisters, and the successor Princess Liuli's bloodline gradually stabilizes, and there is no longer any competitor to shake the position of the young family governor of this generation. For the next few heirs of blood descent, wealth and tranquility can be expected for nearly a hundred years.

"I don't mean to complain, the 'King of Fighters' Challenge has been held for seventeen times, and it's not easy to run this well."

Gu Shan Bu Shui, who shook his head slightly, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile,

"Don't talk about that, why did you say that you want to be an art and vocal teacher for a while?"

"It's been a long time since I've done anything serious, let's practice with this first. Those children who are as clean as white paper just want to paint. Let them know what is good and beautiful, and distinguish between bad and ugly. If possible, And also want to teach them how to tell who is talking serious nonsense and showing off their tongues to fool the public."

"It's just the beginning, don't go too far, let's start with something simple, too elegant literature and art, too obscure righteousness, they can't understand."

Preventing Uncle Zhiji from wanting to make trouble, Gu Shan Bu Shui casually changed the topic,

"How do you plan to spend the New Year the day after tomorrow? Do you want to go to my house for dinner?"

"Forget it."

The handsome middle-aged man waved his hand in embarrassment,

"My cousin took good care of me back then, but now she's gotten to this point, she's probably angry with me, so it's better not to hang out in front of her. You don't know, when Sister Liuli is angry, she's also quite scary."

"That's fine, you can find a place to pass the time by yourself, you can go anywhere to play, ask Yaskawa Zaihara for foreign affairs, and Togakushi Hirise for internal affairs, you know them all."

"Understood, don't worry about me, I will be back before school starts."

The handsome Uncle Zhi Ji left after saying hello. He didn't know where he went for many days. According to rumors, he appeared at the port pier a few times. He was still sweating profusely in winter, shirtless and steaming. The busy workers chatted speculatively.

On the other side, Hong Ye, who was pregnant, was caressing her belly while lazily flipping through the official documents sent back from other places, frowning slightly, and reviewing a few sentences from time to time.

Sitting aside quietly, Xianglin, who was eating small snacks with Sesshomaru and Yaoyaowan, stretched out boredly to ask for it, her little baby-fat face was slightly bulging, she was always busy with her mother, and had no time for herself And a little dissatisfied.

After an unknown number of soft sighs, Hongye finally put down the pen in her hand and stood up.

"Finished with work?"

He got up quickly, supported his mother's arm happily, and was about to go for a walk in the courtyard outside and take a rest, Xiang Lin asked with a smile on his face,

"There will be a lantern show and a firework show at night, shall we go out together later?"

"It's possible, but I'm too conspicuous like this. If I go out, I have to take a car or set aside a VIP area. Not only will it affect the experience, but it will also delay other people's visits to the temple fair."

"Wouldn't it be better to call father together?"

"I don't know if it will work."

My daughter doesn't know, but Hongye does. At this moment, the Gushan family does not know how many entertainment banquets, and Gushan Bushui, who has gradually taken over the power of the family, can't always leave the entertainment to his parents, and he has to show up from time to time .

There are also some unexplainable reasons. For example, at this time last year, many people sent their noble daughters here by playing side-by-side. In name, it was a normal New Year's walk. I thought, if a girl from a certain family was spotted, it would be a surprise.

Although I knew that Gu Shan Bu Shui didn't have such thoughts, but which woman would like to encounter such a thing?

But there was nothing he could do, so he could only wait silently.

Just when the mother and daughter whispered this, and were discussing where to go to pass the time, Gu Shan Bu Shui, who was wearing a simple long robe inside, with the cuffs and neckline showing some of the color of the dress, walked over quickly.

"Well, you're still here."

"Father, are you coming?"

"Ah."

Holding the hand of Hongye who hesitated to speak, and then wrapped her arms around Xianglin's immature shoulders, Gu Shan Bu Shui responded,

"Go, let's take you to see something good."

"You... did you sneak out?"

Hongye covered her mouth and snickered, and couldn't help asking,

"Is there anything wrong?"

"Come on, who will really care about me at this time? It's fine to show your face. It's nothing important. It's a waste of time to talk to those people without nutrition."

"Aren't there a few noble girls who are close?"

In fact, in name, Hongye is also qualified to participate in such social occasions. Until now, she is also a legitimate court official—Shao ​​Nayan, who is naturally qualified to record the friendships, social activities, poetry fairs and temple fairs of noble ladies, etc. .

If it is not so inconvenient to have a big belly, there is indeed hope to show up on a less solemn occasion this year.

Gu Shan Bu Shui who shook his head lightly smiled but did not answer.

This kind of question, no matter how you answer it, seems a bit awkward, it's better to avoid it.

The family of three rode in a carriage to the luxurious cruise ship blown by the sea breeze, and drove in the direction indicated by the beacon lights in the sea. Half an hour later, they anchored at a viewing spot.

Leaning on the railing, Gu Shan Bu Shui pointed to the brightly lit land not far away and said:

"There are too many lights and people come and go, which actually affects the night view. In the past, in the cloudless winter, you can still see the sky full of stars. Now I haven't seen the starry night sky on New Year's Eve for many years."

The impact of lighting is one aspect, and air pollution is also one of the important factors.Today's secular technological level in the ninja world has not yet reached the level of environmental protection. Although the size is not very large and the technology is not very good, steelmaking, heating, steam engines, and chemicals are all very extensive types.

Fortunately, after a heavy snowfall, the foggy sky cleared up a lot. Tonight is a good day for traveling.

Sure enough, when the time came, round after round of fireworks flew into the sky, illuminating half of Yuki Island, and the shining light could be seen from Inaba Port in the distance.

Holding a warm canned drink, while warming his palms, he pointed to the beautiful scenery in the distance with great interest, talking non-stop with his mother, Hongye, and Gushan Bushui echoed a few words from time to time.

……

At the same time, in the land of the sea thousands of miles away, Orochimaru looked playfully at Tianzhi who was half kneeling on the ground and bowed to him.

"You mean, the research on 'Amphibious Ninja' is half-finished?"

"About that, but there's a reason for that."

God knows the reason he thought of earlier and replied,

"You also know that the experiments on the fusion of natural humans and marine fish are not perfect. Those half-human, half-fish guys are almost useless. If you use biological weapons to measure them, they are all unqualified. However, if you spend enough time to Cultivate the second, third or even fourth generation of test products, select excellent individuals from them, and eliminate the degraded and mutated species. In the end, there may be miracles. Things that cannot be done by human power may be achieved by the power of heaven. Some way we don't know how to do it."

"Primitive breeding and the application of the anthropic principle, how did you think of continuing with this inefficient method? You know, this is a project that I gave up. Although you don't have the talent for groundbreaking research, you still have the ability to execute step by step. You can. Think carefully before answering, if you try to deceive and I find out, you know the consequences."

Tian Zhi's face turned pale a little, and after gritting his teeth, he decided to confess a little more.

"Put hope in the destiny, and the appearance of mutant individuals with good shape among the mermaid offspring of mass reproduction is on the one hand, and making money to buy materials to maintain the operation of the laboratory is also the top priority. Since Mr. Orochimaru, you no longer care about this 'amphibious' The ninja' development laboratory and Konoha Village's support are gone, and to maintain this base, it is not enough to occasionally rob the gold ship of the sea country."

Although it is far away from the mainland, the country of the sea has a background. Mist ninja controls most of the lifelines of this far-sea archipelago country, and harvests its value from time to time, and occasionally visits it.

"So, you sold the results in the laboratory?"

"Only part of it."

"Who is there?"

His sharp eyes scanned Tianzhi's expression, intending to find evidence of lying, but so far, nothing seemed suspicious.

"Sea Kingdom's Golden Ship Guard, Hoshino Village, Wuyin Village, Chuan Country, Tang Country, Gusugi Family..."

Basically, all forces that touch the strength of the southeast coast have traded with Tianzhi.The Gushan family was among them, so it wasn't particularly conspicuous.

Many of them have cooperated once and never visited again. Most of them are not very optimistic about this kind of biotechnology with great defects.

After listening to Tianzhi's explanation, after a long time, Orochimaru said in a dry voice:

"Since it was decided to hand over the lab that is about to be scrapped to you, you have the final say on how to run it. Although some of these actions are not appropriate, it makes sense. As long as you make a difference, even if you make a mistake It’s not scary, just correct it. The premise is that you haven’t betrayed my trust in you.”

"Thank you for your cultivation."

Quietly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, knowing that he had passed a test, he handed over the recent laboratory log to Dashewan to show his loyalty and selflessness.

He didn't even look at it, and just threw it behind the Yaoshi who was watching the fun, Dashewan ordered in an unquestionable tone:

"Inquire about the latest information about the Kingdom of Water, and bring it to me."

"Are you going to the Land of Water?"

Tian Zhi was very surprised and said,

"Kigakure Village seems to be a little restless recently. The Kaguya clan, who are ready to move, are dissatisfied with the rule of Mizukage [-]th Mizukage Shikura, and are preparing to launch a rebellion again."

"Hui Ye? Oh, it's that bone vein family. Will they succeed?"

"Even I know it, so the so-called secrecy is out of the question. A rebellion that is not superior in strength loses its suddenness, and it is basically impossible to succeed."

Orochimaru didn't care about the matter of Wuyin Village at all, but it was the blood inheritance limit of the bone vein that aroused Orochimaru's curiosity.
