Ninja Ice House

Not long after the daimyo's arrival, Hiruzaru Sarutobi rarely left Konoha Village and came to pay a visit to the manor.I just heard about it and observed it from a distance, but I have never actually visited the Hokage III, so I am 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 is only one aspect. What is really surprising is that the Gushan family was able to forcibly create a small town on their private land with it as the core.

Prior to this, within tens of kilometers around Muye Village, there were no large-scale human settlements.

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

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

This place is very close to Muye Village. It was originally a temporary foothold for the convenience of rest. There is no official government hall. It turns out that the barrenness is due to the dangerous terrain and the difficulty of development.

From the map, it is actually very easy to know that this place is just stuck on a traffic artery. Once the town is formed, there must be a lot of people traveling from south to north.

In fact, outside the current castle-style manor, there is a large block with various eating, drinking and entertainment facilities. The nearby Konoha Village in Chichi has no characteristics-Kabuki Hall, there are various styles, large and small. Bars, clubs, hotels and more.

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 is a trend of catching up from behind and replacing Muye Village as a well-known central city.

In fact, Gushan Bushui didn't pay much attention to this place earlier, thinking that after six years in the ninja school, he would become a ninja and would not need this temporary residence.

Unexpectedly, I stayed in Muye Village for more than ten years.The team that originally served Gushan Bushui and his entourage grew stronger, and there were more and more shops and practitioners that provided servants and guards with various daily necessities and leisure enjoyments, and then it became what it is now.

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

"Ancient Cedar Shinjuku", over time, it has become a well-known

"Shinjuku Town".Even the Konoha ninjas have gradually accepted this statement. After intense tasks, they will come to Shinjuku Town for entertainment from time to time. After all, the entertainment service industry here is not at the same level as that in Konoha Village.

After paying a visit to the daimyo and the Gusugi family, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was not in a hurry to leave, and wandered around Shinjuku Town while observing.

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

The luxury and nobility that comes from the inside out can't be maintained by a thousand-year-old wealthy family like the Gushan family.

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

Sensing Sarutobi's frequent gaze at the Kabuki hall, Shiranui Genma sighed: "Three Daime, it's still dark and many places are not open. Shall we look at other places first?" Accompanying Sarutobi this time Those who came to Rizhan, apart from Shiranui Genma and Paradigm, and a secret sentinel Diyin Vashi, the three of them can perform the Flying Thunder God Formation, and if they are in danger, they can jointly perform time and space ninjutsu to kill Sarutobi Hitomi. Cut and send back to Muye Village.

Although it is so close to Muye Village, and it is an area under the control of the Gushan family, there should be no danger, but there is no guarantee.

Just when the group of people were dazzled by their sights, a group of luxury carriages drove towards them.Konoha Ninja and his party gave way slightly to the side of the road, but unexpectedly the carriage stopped beside them, and then three people came out.

"It's really three generations face to face, long time no see."

"Princess Liuli, Mr. Zhengcheng, and Mrs. Zhizhimei, it's a pleasure to meet you."

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

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

"Don't stay for a while? It will be dark soon, and it will be more lively..."

"Forget it, there are still things in the village, so don't delay."

"Then... don't bother me. In a few days, our family will go to Guicun to chat."

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

In this year's Chunin exam, there are actually no gimmicks to speculate on, but the daimyo family and the Gusugi family came together the most.

There are so many chunin exams, and the years when all members of Genpei's second clan join in, can be counted on the fingers.After all, they are all the most powerful people in the Kingdom of Fire. If they are gathered together like this, the Kingdom of Fire will be turned upside down if they are taken over by others.

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

If something happened to any of them, it would be a huge blow to Muye Village's reputation.Mrs. Shijimi, holding her beloved cat Xiaohu, looked at the back of Sarutobi Hiruzaru and sighed involuntarily.

"The third generation is much older. It is estimated that he will abdicate in the near future! I don't know who will take the position of the fifth generation..." Gushan Liuli responded with a chuckle: "Anyway, Konoha ninja is worried about it." It has nothing to do with us. I was delayed on the road for a while, and the others probably couldn't wait, and I don't know if Xiao Hiiragi is going to make a fuss again."

"That's great. I don't know when Liangshige will be obedient, get married on a blind date, and have a strong heir."

"It's coming soon! The grandson will come as soon as he says, look at me, I'm not prepared, I became a grandmother at a young age."

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

For so many years, not only the population of the Gushan family is thin, but there are very few direct descendants of the Daimyo family.According to the tradition of the Fire Country, Liang would adopt a child from the Gushan family and become the crown prince if he did not have a serious heir.

Just like when Gushan Jiji was deposed and there was no direct descendant, his cousin Princess Liuli changed her surname to Gushan, recruited Yaskawa Masaki, inherited the family inheritance, and gave birth to Gushan 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 flags of Senju and Uchiha, forming two evenly matched parties. The attack was endless, and the world was not peaceful. In order to compete for the unique orthodox position, the second clan of Genpei fought for hundreds of years. In the end, the order of one village and one country was established, and the Warring States Period ended, and the two ethnic groups became more harmonious.

After several generations of marriage, the bloodlines of the two parties are also very close, but the family name dispute still exists, but it is not as fierce and bloody as before.

Mrs. Shijimi obviously didn't want people from the Gusugi family to occupy the position of daimyo in the future, so she talked about Liangshige's blind date from time to time.

Many people dare not even think about letting the child of a woman of low birth become a ninja.The Gushan family has been quarreling for so many years, so don't bring the trouble to the daimyo.

Princess Liuli didn't seem to understand the hint in sister-in-law's words at all, talking and laughing along the way, until after greeting the elders and returning to each house, Gushan Zhengcheng laughed and teased: "Our sister-in-law, I'm a little anxious, Afraid that our granddaughter will steal his place..."

"I know!"

"Let me just say, you don't understand! It's hard to cooperate with her."

"It's okay! It's just that the Gushan family is well managed by the water divination, and I don't need to worry about it, so it's easier. Liangshi has been learning the water divination, like a child who doesn't grow up, when will he have his own? Stand up, hold up the backbone of the country."

"The daimyo is in the prime of his life, you don't need to worry about it for a while, Yoshigeo...it's still early!"

"Parents are in a hurry!" While the two were joking, Liang Zhong, who was at the center of the topic, was also bearing repeated advice from his parents.

In the children's playground a few hundred meters away, Xianglin took her three younger sisters through various entertainment facilities and toys.

The one here... is smaller than Yuqi Island, but it has more tricks, and it's the first time I've seen many local specialties.

"Sister, go ask Qianxia and Ikki to come and 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 sakura rolls and fruit candies?"

"It's delicious, eat more!" Holding Xiao Hiiragi's hand, and the two little sisters, they walked slowly towards the house.

"Eh?" Xiao Hiiragi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately exchanged a glance with Xianglin.

"Grandpa and grandma are here, that's great." The grandparents who dote on their granddaughter, every time they meet with their granddaughter, they will bring a lot of delicious food, and fill the big bag prepared by Xiao Hiiragi to the brim.

This is the happiest time for Xiao Hiiragi. ... Muye Village, a relatively quiet training ground, Uchiha Zuosuke just finished his training today, he was exhausted, he found a clean stone by a nearby stream, sat down and rested for a while .

The turmoil of the previous two days has temporarily passed.Uchiha Zuosuke's application for early graduation did not pass.

Out of respect for Uchiha Zuosuke's own will, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not refuse directly and forcefully, but after agreeing, he sent a powerful Chunin guard.

As a result of the test battle, there is no doubt that Uchiha Sasuke lost.The opponent didn't even use overly powerful ninjutsu, nor did he show any great blood succession limit, just relying on ninja throwing and fisting skills, Uchiha Zuosuke was beaten helplessly.

This also made the young man who lost his will and revenge realized that the so-called ninja level does not necessarily represent the strength of combat power.

On

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

"I'm still far away!" After resting for a while and recovering his strength, Uchiha Zuosuke got up and was ready to go home, perhaps in time for dinner.

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

Rustic vest, messy blond hair, coupled with the annoyance and complaints after the failure of practice, it is obvious that Uzumaki Naruto looks like.

"It's him?" There are not many ninja schools that can make him remember his name firmly in his heart, and Naruto Uzumaki happens to be one of them.

It's not how good this person is, but that besides being hated, he also has some characteristics that Sasuke Uchiha agrees with very much.

For example, the sense of loneliness that makes people feel the same, it is a special temperament that will be involuntarily revealed only after staying alone for a long time.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu, you can already divide into three? The progress is really fast..." For a ninja school child, it is quite difficult to learn B-level ninjutsu. This level is really not easy.

If you know, even Uchiha Zuosuke, whose combat power is close to Chunin, has not yet mastered any ninjutsu with a difficulty level of B.

Generally speaking, children's weak physique and shallow chakras are doomed to miss ninjutsu above extreme b.

Of course, ninjas cannot be measured by common sense, there are always some talented people

"Monster", master some magical secrets in advance.After watching for a while, Uchiha Zuosuke, who didn't find too many bright spots except for the shadow clone technique, left.

Even if he has mastered the technique of shadow clone, the current Naruto Uzumaki is not strong enough.Due to the failure of the assessment for early graduation, Uchiha Zuosuke has been in a high mood recently. He returned to the familiar bustling street, and when he was walking towards the empty home, he met a ninja who was about to pass by Met by chance.

"Left Assistant?"

"White?" Looking at the other party's handsome face and the ninja forehead guard on his forehead, Zuosuke Uchiha suppressed the envy in his heart,

"Just got back from the mission?"

"Hmm! It's not difficult to clean up the river, but it takes a lot of time."

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

"It's okay! For me, it doesn't affect my practice very much. What about you, I heard that you didn't pass the early graduation assessment..."

"Hmm! I still have some deficiencies..."

"That's it! Work hard!"

"By the way..." Uchiha Zuosuke asked curiously, Shiro who turned around and wanted to leave,

"You are so strong, and the team members are also very good, why don't you take the Chunin exam this year?"

"Ms. Hayama also thought about recommending it, but after thinking about it, I still refused. I just became a chunin, and it will take a while to get used to it. Moreover, we are not ready to become a chunin." Being able to fight is only one of the conditions for promotion. Not enough.

What's more, Bai Xin is not very attached to the level of ninjas, and he is still very satisfied with his current life.
