Ninja Ice House

After returning home, Xiang Lian wrote down what he had seen recently and sent it home. After that, he packed his things, met up with other Konoha ninjas, and set off on the road to the Kingdom of Wind.

Because there was plenty of time, everyone was not in a hurry. It took nearly half a month to arrive at Sunagakure Village.

Ninjas from the Great Ninja Village rarely have the opportunity to step into another Great Ninja Village. Konoha Village often holds chuunin exams, but they have met many ninjas from other countries from all over the world. Suna Ninja is different. The country is difficult to access, and it is even more difficult for outsiders to visit.

If nothing happens, basically no one would go to such a barren place.

The introduction in the book and the illustrations are not very intuitive after all. Only when you are really immersed in the scene can you understand how desperate the endless sea of ​​sand is.

There are also desert Gobi stone forests, dangerous floating quicksand, desert rattlesnakes and venomous scorpions with bloody throats, disgusting parasitic flies, and occasional sandstorms.

These are disasters that are enough to make people shy away. Not only are ordinary people unable to bear them, but even ninjas must be careful in order to successfully cross the sand sea of ​​death.

"Fortunately, there is phosphorus here. Otherwise, I would be so irritated that I would go crazy."

Kurama Yakumo, the one with the weakest physique, had only maintained his curiosity for a short time after entering the Land of Winds, and he was about to lose it.

Fortunately, the delicate lady who is proficient in illusions is not a vegetarian. She directly controls a super large sand scorpion that is nearly three stories high. As a vehicle, she leads the Konoha ninja team straight to the Sand Hidden Village.

On the way, I used fragrant phosphorus to replenish water, and I used Ice Escape to create air-conditioning to cool down, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

Kurama Yakumo, who finished a cup of ice cream and rested comfortably under the awning, said to Shiro Envy, who was still in high spirits with not even a drop of sweat on his forehead:

"Your blood inheritance limit is really effective. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and can adjust the body surface temperature at any time."

"It's true that summer is cool, but winter is warm..."

The gentle Shiro looked at the somewhat unconvinced Miss Yakumo, and responded calmly,

"You can also use the five magical senses to adjust your senses, or simulate real illusions. The scary environment can also create an immersive feeling."

"What's the point of lying to yourself?"

Kurama Yakumo muttered helplessly,

"You are not an illusion type ninja. You don't know the taboos of people like us. It is very risky to use illusions on yourself. If the intensity is slightly higher, it will definitely be included in the forbidden arts..."

"Really."

Shiro, who chuckled lightly, did not argue. Instead, he looked not far away. Kaoru and Usami from Class No. 13 were interacting with Gaara, Kankuro and Temari, and were interacting with students from the reorganized Sunagakure Village Ninja School. The children exchanged their practice experiences.

With so many people here, it is impossible to go into battle at the same time. Instead, they are divided into three groups, working in turns, and each has different areas of responsibility and focus.

Most of the Konoha ninjas who come here are good-looking men and beautiful women, some with a little less good looks, each with their own characteristics, attracting the attention of different children, and they can be regarded as models of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

"You, Class 13, have never heard any special rumors, but everyone thinks highly of you."

"They are all the elites of Konoha Village, the most talented and powerful among our peers in the ninja world. If it were wartime, most of us would already be jounin."

For example, Shiro, Koso, Hyuga Neji, etc., definitely exceeded the standard of jounin. The next level Usami, Kurama Yakumo and others also have a great hope of becoming a special jounin. Others are close to each other, but they have their own differences. The characteristics are not comparable to those of ordinary chuunin.

"I mean, you..."

Bai hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say. When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

Kurama Yakumo observed it and asked strangely:

"You care about us, do you care about the scandals that are circulating? Don't worry, we are already so old, and we don't have to listen to the wind."

"But, nothing like this has ever happened before."

"Really not?"

Kurama Yakumo, who asked with a smile, said leisurely,

"It's just a difference in degree. There is nothing new in this world. It's just that... everyone's identity now is that they are all Konoha ninjas. There is no need to do extra things. Ninjas... should look like ninjas."

Whether it's Karin, Kurama Yakumo or the mysterious Usami, in the eyes of outsiders, this team composed entirely of female ninjas is too mysterious.

Apart from maintaining limited communication with a few peers, he hardly had any deep connections with other Konoha ninjas.

Because of this, many good and bad things, some not, began to circulate in the market.

Most of these rumors are unfounded.

Only the scandal between Bai and Xiang Lu started to gain some heat.

The Furusugi family basically did not do much publicity and public relations about the image of Koso and the exchange students sent to the Konohagakure Ninja School.

Xiang Phosphorus, who was at the center of the scandal, was not affected much. Anyway, except for her teammates and a few friends, no one dared to talk to her about this topic in person.

However, Bai seems to be preoccupied and timid recently, which makes the originally harmonious atmosphere become a bit strange.

Speaking of this topic, Kurama Yakumo also warned angrily:

"You are just too sensitive. Perhaps your past experiences have bound you, preventing you from having such a free and easy mind. Let me put it bluntly, with your current performance, Xiang Phosphorus will not like you at all. Status. The gap can be bridged, but the spiritual gap is irreparable. You... are too weak."

"I made you laugh."

Bai was a little embarrassed to be denied in person by a junior who was more than one year younger. However, fortunately, he was a smart child and knew how to adjust himself.

Being sensitive but not free and easy enough is a "landmine" for getting along in any relationship. You don't know when you will step on it, which will lead to "explosion" consequences.

"The more you worry about gains and losses and think too much, the bigger the gap will be. With Xiang Phosphorus's identity and status, there are many factors to consider, but there will definitely not be money, strength, family background or fame. Anyway, no one among his peers can compare. Beat her."

Indeed, no matter how much I think about it, there is no one in the ninja world who is richer, more powerful, more promising, and more powerful than Xianglin.

No matter what status or identity, there is no difference in front of the Gushan family.

Seemingly being stimulated or persuaded by Kurama Yakumo, Shiro was a little silent, and the atmosphere suddenly felt awkward. After a long time, the young man asked angrily:

"Then...why do you think Gushan and Hinata got married?"

"Isn't it because you have taken a fancy to Bai Yan? Gu Shan... doesn't really need the boundaries of the Blood Successor. If he really goes into battle in person, some of the Blood Successor family will rush to send the woman there. Even..."

Kurama Yakumo paused and said,

"I think that the Gushan family no longer needs marriage. What they value is just a formality, looking at the dignity that can be used to perfunctory the past. This world seems to have many agreed-upon rules, but in essence, it only revolves around A very few strong people are turning around."

The two chatted on and off for a long time, and when it was time to "change shifts", Bai left with something on his mind.

"After all, he is just a child. No matter how smart or talented he is, he is still very immature."

He seemed to be muttering to himself, but there was a chuckle in response from behind.

"Pure, intense and paranoid emotions, whether positive or negative, are very childish. As a ninja, there is nothing better than a tool. But..."

The "Prince" of the Gushan family must not be just a dispensable "mascot".

Kurama Yakumo was not at all curious about the sudden answer. He turned his head slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Karin walking over holding iced juice.

"Didn't you bring me a drink?"

As if by magic, he was handed a cup of lemon tea, and Xiang Phosphorus lay down on the leisure chair next to him.

"Haku's current temperament is worse than that of Neji, who has improved a little after the Chuunin Exams. It's sad, our family background has a narrow social circle, and we don't know many people of the same age. If... I really can't find him. If you are a suitable partner, you will have to deal with the never-ending sorority parties and blind dates.”

"Ninjas are always a little paranoid. Otherwise, they would not have achieved anything. Training is a hard job, and those who are not persistent enough will not get far."

Kurama Yakumo took a sip from the straw and frowned at the sour lemon tea. He took a deep breath.

"There are just a few people, what will we do in the future?"

The two people who were too precocious looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Xiang Ling took out a few more pastries and put them on the plate at hand. He took a few bites to replenish some energy and said:

"It would be nice if you were a boy."

"Hehe, when my blood inheritance reaches a further limit, I might be able to reverse the cause and effect, deceive the world, and become a peerless handsome man."

"Then I'll wait without any expectations."

Knowing that his companion was joking, Xiang Phosphorus leaned back.

"This task is really easy, just like a vacation. At first, I felt that this place was really not a place for people to stay. But after a while, it felt okay."

The main thing is that everyone is a ninja, well prepared and lacks nothing.

Apart from the flying sand and dust and the night breeze that passes through the streets and alleys at night, disturbing my dreams, there is nothing wrong with it.

"The local sand bath seems to be quite famous. Do you want to try it?"

"No need to, I still like to take a normal bath in the hot springs."

Kurama Yakumo refused a special event that seemed interesting;

"Let's get down to business. I made some 'cuties' some time ago and scattered them around. I got a lot of interesting information. Do you want to hear it?"

"Forget it."

Xiang Phosphorus waved his hand,

"None of this matters. What's going on inside Sunagakure Village? Just let them go. If there is really trouble, let the Godaime worry about it."

"I know you're not interested. You've been really lazy recently. Are you thinking about your upcoming baby brother?"

"Kind of, but not mainly about that."

"So... is it about Uchiha Sasuke? Regarding the 'Eight Masters Collection', when you mention this word, your mood swings will change drastically. You seem a little worried?"

"Ok!"

Xiang Phosphorus nodded imperceptibly,

"Although there is no evidence, I have a vague feeling that this seems to have been pushed by my father..."

"You're not the only one who thinks so, but, as you said, there's no evidence."

The psychic Monami of the person sealed in the body, as the power accumulated becomes more and more abundant, Xiang Phosphorus gradually touches a mysterious and unfamiliar field, the inspiration that spans time and space, and the keen perception of things related to itself. Beyond imagination.

For example, inside Sand Hidden Village, there is a very powerful chakra reaction lurking, that is a guy who has had indirect contact with Xianglan.

"The human puppet... is still here, even..."

On it, Xiang Phosphorus smelled the special wave of power coming from the ancient fir water.

Just because the probability of occurrence is low, it is called a coincidence, but if these are discovered one after another, there must be a pair of hands behind the scenes.

"The Gushan family...my father is much, much stronger than he shows. The 'Eight Masters Collection' is a tool, the key to making things develop in the desired direction without 'overturning the table'. Even, I think the marriage between Gu Shan and Hinata is related to it."

Xiang Lu didn't know that Gu Shan Bu Shui wanted to cut off a large piece from the Kingdom of Wind and build a new country.

In this world, there are great countries, great names, and ninja villages.

A mere "Gathering of Eight Heroes" is at most a sword and a signboard. If you want to increase your strength, necessary external support is also very important.

After hearing this, Kurama Yakumo thought for a while but didn't understand the key.

"Your family is already so powerful, why are you still fighting?"

"Before, my father said a word, which I think can explain something."

"what?"

"Fight for your life."

Xiang Phosphorus said leisurely,

"Konoha Village, Wood Release, Sharingan, they have been the guiding light leading the destiny of the ninja world for thousands of years. Maybe, the Byakugan is much more important than we think. What is the specific situation, I am not I understand very well, but my father never told me."

"Then...don't you like Hinata Neji? He seems to be pretty good too. If others can't release the caged bird, you Furugi should be able to do it, right?"

"Perhaps, but this is not just a matter of Cursed Seal and Caged Bird. I don't like him. He is obsessed with Hinata and unwilling to raise his eyes to see the world. His ambition... is too small."

Whenever he has the desire to be the head of the Hyuga family or become the Hokage, Xiang Ling will look up to him.

Kurama Yakumo sighed helplessly.

"It's already difficult for me. You...ask for it."

For the direct children of a large family, it seems that they have a very broad right to choose a spouse, but in fact, it is just that. Especially capable women, not to mention better husbands, are difficult to find even if they are of the right class.

If there really is a young man in this world who has the same identity and ability as Xiang Phosphorus, he may not be willing to play any equally matched "love game". There are so many flowers and plants outside, and he hangs himself on a tree. Thank you, no matter how impeccable the tree looks. Nope either.

"It's probably very difficult to expect these guys with some slight merits to freely 'grow' to a satisfactory level. You may have to personally 'train' or 'train' them, otherwise... it's difficult."

Xiang Phosphorus, who felt more and more like he should do something, slurped the straw and had some bold ideas popping up in his mind from time to time.
