Ninja Ice House

The Red Sand Scorpion is an important helper in Luo Sha's vision, but trusting a rebellious nin is a very foolish thing.

As the fourth generation of Kazekage, Luo Sha never expected that those sealing techniques and curse seals would be able to control the Red Sand Scorpion to contribute to the village.

If it were such a cheap thing, he wouldn't have secretly studied human puppetry, attacked the Kazekage Sandaime, and defected.

To put it bluntly, the former Red Sand Scorpion's bond in this world is too weak. Not only is he indifferent to Sand Hidden Village, he is not intimate with his closest relatives, and he doesn't even care about his own life.

If he really is a villain who cherishes his life, how can he use the forbidden technique of making people puppet on himself?

The guy who cut himself into a regenerative core is not trustworthy at all.

If he is so cruel to himself, do you still expect him to be kind to others?

From the very beginning, Luo Sha's position on the Scarlet Sand Scorpion was very clear.

『For the sake of the village, contribute your strength, and then die! 』

At the critical juncture of the "Konoha collapse plan", releasing the red sand scorpion is really indisputable. Under the siege of thousands, even tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas, you can do your best.

Squeezing out all the value, and then dying at the right time, is Luo Sha's positioning for the Scarlet Sand Scorpion, even if this action will offend Elder Chidai.

Back then, he could sacrifice Ye Cang for the sake of the overall situation, but now he can also arrange for the Red Sand Scorpion to die for the sake of the village.

As for whether the Scarlet Sand Scorpion had imagined his own ending, Luo Sha didn't care, it had already been decided anyway, and he had no room to resist.

-----------------

Due to the rare disaster weather, this year's "King of Fighters" competition was a little more deserted, and the enthusiasm of the contestants and sponsors was obviously reduced.

Fortunately, the general situation has been maintained, but it is not as expected. The actual leveraged capital is still slightly higher than last year.

This also made Gusugi Bumizu and the co-organizers realize that the "King of Fighters" Challenge has become a well-known golden signboard in the ninja world.

This year's winner of the "King of Fighting" title, Fusugi Bosui, as usual, recommended to the daimyo to be a guardian ninja. As for whether he can succeed in the end or be reused by the daimyo, that is another matter.

After the busy work, Gushan Bushui took the red leaves, Gushan Masaki and Princess Liuli, and set off from Yuqi Island. Along the way, he took a leisurely look at the scenery. After arriving in Shinjuku Town, the others went to Muye Village stayed temporarily to see his granddaughter who was going to school, while Gushan Bushui stayed and met with the head of the local chamber of commerce.

In a quiet courtyard, Gu Shan Bu Shui looked through the recent reports. Generally speaking, the profits have been maintained, but the expenses are a bit large.

In order to calm the fluctuations of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the Gushan family also took out a lot of real money to benefit the people at the bottom of the ninja world.

Visible subsidies and subsidies are small, but the real big expenditures are in areas of people's livelihood such as canal dredging, road repairs, and water diversion for irrigation.

Among them, in just over three months, the Gushan family built thirteen bridges in the Land of Fire. In order to do this, I don't know how many bridge-building experts, ordinary workers, and middle and low-level ninjas were hired.

At the very beginning, Gushan Bushui felt that if he had killed Kado, the bandit leader of the Kingdom of Waves, a few years in advance, the fate of Momochi would be very different. It is the task of everyone's life trajectory.

As a result, unexpectedly, after a big turn of fate, fate turned back inexplicably.

In a long background story, the Gusugi family acted as villains this time. When promoting the "Continental Bridge" connection plan for the Land of Waves, the cross-sea bridges that run through the land of the Ninja World, the Land of Waves and the Land of Uzumaki are all kinds of More than a dozen islands have been benefited.

Most of these islands are uninhabited, but some are inhabited.

When doing big things, it is possible to ignore the details.

It is also impossible for Gushan Bushui to always care about whether the compensation funds are in place when the bridge is built, the infrastructure is expanded, and the land and houses of farmers and fishermen are expropriated, and whether a consensus has been reached on relocation.

Anyway, even in some remote and small places, forced buying and selling, forced demolition and smashing cannot be completely avoided.Occasionally there were omissions, and there were also incidents that didn't last long, but basically nothing major happened.

This time, somehow, something went wrong.

There is no need to go into details about how it happened. In short, the farmers and fishermen who were afraid of the strong position of the Gushan family and dared not assert themselves invited the Konoha ninja to uphold justice. In essence, it was a matter of building bridges and roads, and expropriating land. Compensation, the signing of the relocation, unexpectedly invited the seventh class of Konoha Shiminin.

Some people who were also aware of screwing things up knew that something was wrong. Through special channels, they wanted to invite a group of "non-staff hired ninjas" to calm things down quietly before the Gushan family paid attention.

Then, without Gushan Bumizu realizing that most people didn't think there was any big problem with this so-called C-level mission, it was just an ordinary civil and economic dispute, and it turned into a confrontation between Jonin.

The last time I received a letter from the Kingdom of Waves, it was an apology issued by the local governor.

When receiving the news for the first time, Gu Shan Bu Shui was also extremely surprised.

Although a ghostly place like the Kingdom of Waves is rich and strategically important, it is of no practical value to the "Akatsuki" organization, a group of S-level rebels and forbearers.

It's fine to make some money, but with the size of a C-level character, is it worth releasing Momochi Zabuza and Gigangaki Kisame?

It wasn't until later that Kosugi Bosui realized that it might be a test of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

The information about Jiraiya wandering around Konoha Village is not difficult to find. There are not many opportunities for the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki to leave Konoha Village. This trip to the Country of Waves is really a good opportunity.

It is not impossible to use the excuse of local civil disputes to explore the protection strength of the main force of the Nine-Tails.

There is still nearly a month until this year's Chunin exam. So far, no further news has come back from the Nami country. Gusugi Bosui did not pay too much attention to how the specific situation will develop.

After arriving in Shinjuku Town, Hiruzaru Sarutobi also wrote to ask about the situation in Nami, and Fusugi Bumizu also replied sincerely.

Everything was a coincidence. After an ordinary accident in the local area deteriorated rapidly, it turned the C-level task into an S-level task, which was also unexpected.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not think that the Gusugi family had a dispute because they were greedy for the compensation money of hundreds of islanders.

Because of these trivial matters, the delayed construction period is much higher than the compensation.

However, the Gushan family is not short of money, which does not mean that the people working below will not be open to money.

This sudden incident also made Gusugi Bosui realize how the fate-correcting power in the ninja world works, and at the same time, he also realized his own position.

Once this "little matter" gets into trouble, I am afraid that Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha Sasuke and others will have a sudden change in their impression of the Furusugi family, and the evaluation of being rich and unkind, or not being strict with the government will not be able to escape.

Of course, the matter is not so serious that it is out of control.

It's a trivial matter in itself, it's a great thing to hand over the small supervisor and the local gangster leader who committed the crime, and just hand over the flag for sacrifice.

However, after thinking about it, Gu Shan Bu Shui felt that this was a good opportunity, and this matter was really interesting.

Therefore, it implies the strategy of the local management admitting their mistakes, admitting their punishment, and accepting their companionship after committing crimes and meritorious deeds, but never surrendering.

Even if they had to deal with it, the Gushan family did it themselves, how could they be forced by others?

If Konoha Shinobi Class [-] has passed the level of Taodi Zabuza and Kanshi Kisame, and still has the energy to "seek justice" from the Gusugi family, it's okay to play with them.

Until now, there has been no news of the progress of the wave country. Either the seventh class is still entangled with the two S-class traitors and has no time to care about them, or they have given up on extraneous issues.

If it is an S-level task to defeat the S-level rebels who do all kinds of evil, what level of task is it to be an enemy of the Gushan family?

A few students have no real sense, Hatake Kakashi should not be so unwise.

This is not something that the ninjas on the mission should consider at all. Even if they want to do something, Hokage will come forward to talk about it.

After almost looking through the account books here, after finding nothing wrong, there was a knock on the door.

"Is the Tumen in charge? Come in..."

The door was pushed open, and a 27-year-old man, about the same age as Gu Shan Bu Shui, walked in.

"Find a seat and sit down!"

"Yes!"

Ever since he was recommended by Gui Zhiji and served as the local agent manager, Tumen has been conscientiously performing his tasks. In the past few months, he has not shown any outstanding abilities, but he is a down-to-earth person who works hard, so it may not bring any surprises. But the tasks assigned can be completed without compromise.

This is a man with practical ability.

Before parting, Gui Zhiji commented on Tumen in this way.

"I've read the account books. First of all, I'm satisfied with the completion of the department's tasks. The profit has dropped a little, and it's not your problem. When I made the strategic decision last year, there was an estimate. What's more, this year The current disaster has also taken a lot of energy, and the current results are enough to prove your ability. Keep it up, and after the end of the year, there will be new appointments..."

"Thank you, Young Master, for cultivating!"

What new appointment, this is a neutral statement, what really surprised Tumen was the opportunity to participate in the grand ceremony hinted by Gushan Bushui.

There are countless aristocrats, big and small, who follow the Gushan family to make a living, and those who are really qualified to go to the big festival at the end of the year to enjoy a bowl of leftovers are all great figures.

Guanling is the dividing line between the daimyo and the senior cadres under Gushan's command. Putting it in place, it is the de facto toubob, all of whom are monstrous landlords and proper feudal nobles. It is not too much to say that the daimyo has shrunk .

If it is an amateur professional who is in charge of a group, then he can see the main family from time to time, and he can directly submit an application for important matters.

Tumen's family background is not high, the son of a wealthy local family can walk in front of Gushan Bushui, and he doesn't know how many competitors he has compared.

Now that he has managed to become a management leader, he is still an agent who has not become a full-time employee. This has already made many colleagues red-eyed. I don’t know how many people are waiting for him to make mistakes so that they can sit on their own.

At the end of the year, I went to the Gushan family's grand festival, presumably the forces behind the scenes should restrain themselves a little bit.

"The follow-up arrangements for this year can be carried out step by step. There is only one thing to pay attention to..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui knocked on the table, bringing the agitated Tumen back to his senses.

"Please order."

"Land acquisition compensation and relocation funds, as well as the price of land acquisition, should not be kept too low."

"Uh?"

Tumen was taken aback, and asked puzzledly,

"Young Master's order, you should obey it, but... now is a down cycle, and there is still a lot of room for arbitrage. Wait, it may be cheaper."

Gu Shan Bu Shui shook his head with a light smile, but instead asked an irrelevant question,

"What's your last name? Where is your hometown?"

"Zoe Nandu River, Wenshui Town Rock Bridge..."

"Wenshuiyan Bridge, speaking of it, the ancestors are also the prince's home..."

"It's been down for a long time, it's not worth mentioning!"

"It has been out of the mainstream for too long, so some things may not be clear."

Gu Shan Bu Shui explained slowly,

"The Gushan family is not a big merchant, nor is it an ordinary nobleman, but the deputy second of the country, the unparalleled big family in the East. Don't be too obsessed with making money. Control is the most important thing. The current decline, It is irrational, and it will only dampen the enthusiasm of the public, so there must be a limit to take advantage of the trend.”

The current situation is not that the price has fallen to the end, but that there is a problem with liquidity.

The location of Tumen Station is not high enough to see clearly, but Gu Shan Bu Shui understands it.

Now in the market of the Land of Fire, there is simply no spare money for any investment.

With Konoha Ninja's wealth and ability to make money, he is trying to repay his debts. Ordinary merchants and small nobles have no capital.

In the final analysis, the Gushan family's ability to make money is too strong. In a few years, the wealth of the ninja world has flowed rapidly in one direction.

"Except for the Gushan family, no one can support the market on a large scale. Instead of falling under the floor and stepping into the mud, making the entire market lose its existence value, it is better for us to earn less and maintain proper liquidity. prevent further panic from spreading."

If you really want to suppress the price, it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer, but that's enough.

"The subordinates are ignorant and have failed to understand the young master's thoughts."

"It's okay, you just did your job well, don't worry! When Gui Guanling recommended you, I was touched by a comment. 'Calm, you can deal with crises calmly'. Next, it will be troublesome, I need your calmness to reassure people."

"Yes!"

After a few words of encouragement, Gushan Bushui let him back down and sighed.

Cutting the leeks of the common people is not the main purpose, the key is to let the middle class and wealthy families shed a little blood.

"Wealth redistribution is a systematic activity. We must find a way. We cannot always rely on natural disasters, man-made disasters and economic crises to passively intervene." 』
