The conference room at the Hokage's house in Konoha Village has been closed for a long time. It is a rare occasion for the daimyo of Konoha Village to come. The first big thing to deal with is to reconcile the Uchiha family and the Hokage line.

In fact, everyone knows what the effect is.

Furugi Bushui, who pretended to be the secretary for a while, quickly left with an excuse and found a place nearby to have a drink. When he was enjoying himself, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. He opened the door curtain of the izakaya and opened half of the izakaya.

Danzo Shimura walked over with his body wrapped in bandages and wearing a blue robe.

"Um?"

Gu Shanbu Shui rubbed his eyes to cheer himself up with a smile on his face,

"Elder Danzo, long time no see."

"I have really neglected to greet you in the past two years. I have become very comatose, but the young governor is still in his prime, which is really enviable."

"Just call me Water Divination. I have relied on your care for the past ten years..."

The so-called diplomatic rhetoric is just that, just talk.

In more than ten years of life in Konoha Village, Shimura Danzo rarely spent time alone with Furusugi Bosui, and they didn't meet many times. However, he did provide some convenience in private, and he cared more than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

.

He probably also wanted to build a good relationship so that he could use his momentum to reduce criticism when he gets a higher position in the future.

It is valuable to win over, this is Gu Shan Bu Shui's judgment of himself.

"Your Highness Bu Shui, you're welcome. I also want to contribute to your journey as a ninja. Unfortunately, the Sandaime is a bit stubborn..."

It's all Sarutobi Hiruzen's fault for being helpless and soft-spoken. If he had become Hokage, he would have expressed his attitude differently.

"Your Highness?"

Gu Shanbu Shui, who was smiling bitterly in his heart, shook his head slightly.

The lost Kosugi family has lost the crown of "king" on its head. After all, it still actually controls a great deal of power. It almost shares the power of the Fire Country with the daimyo. What's more, it also has the right to inherit the daimyo's high order.

He is indeed worthy of being called a prince.

However, in the past, when dealing with people close to them, they would always call them young governor, young master or young master. Senior officials of the ninja village who were slightly alienated and had legitimate negotiation value, such as Shimura Danzo, did not have many opportunities to speak out.

In the past, when dealing with Metkai, Mitarai Anko and Yuhi Kurenai, the ninja label on his body was more obvious, and most of them used their first names to show their closeness.

If it were more serious, Gushan Bushui would appear openly and openly in front of the common people who knew his noble status, and he would really have to call him "Dian" or "Yang", and "Your Excellency" would be slightly inappropriate. Only after he became an official, his direct subordinates had called him this.

Shimura Danzo called him this, it really seemed like he was being close, and it made Kosugi Fusui feel relieved.

"Elder Danzo is here, presumably not just for chatting. I wonder if I have any advice for you?"

"I would like to hear His Highness Bu Shui's views on the situation in the village. During the daimyo mediation meeting, His Highness was drinking here. He seems not to be optimistic about it."

"Is it necessary to be optimistic?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui shrugged helplessly,

"If the Sandaime and the Uchiha clan leader were arguing endlessly, quarreling, and going back and forth, it would be of some value. They were obviously about to confront each other, but they said those insincere words, almost to the point of drinking and drinking. It was obviously perfunctory.

"

There was no substantive communication, just politeness. Both parties were just using excuses to give the new daimyo face.

Even if it was a fight on the spot, Gushan Bushui felt that this mediation had practical significance. Now...

As if aware of the true thoughts of Kosugi Fusui, who had a deep nasal voice and snorted coldly, Shimura Danzo pretended to look regretful and said:

"The road to peaceful coexistence between the two sides is long and arduous. If a conflict does occur, I don't know what the Gusugi family's position will be?"

"We have no position and will always support the winner. As long as the overall strength of Konoha Village remains intact and the interests of the Fire Country can be protected from foreign enemies, some details can be turned a blind eye. It's just..."

After drinking the remaining wine in the cup, Gu Shan Bu Shui sighed,

"It's a pity that Uchiha died like this..."

"Your Highness Bu Shui, don't you think Uchiha will become Hokage?"

"I'm not blind yet."

With his youthful and frivolous attitude, Gu Shan Bu Shui smiled boldly and said,

"Elder Danzo, there is no need to test. Although I am determined to pursue the path of ninja, it does not mean that the Fusagi family wants to interfere in the internal affairs of Konoha Village. The daimyo is not interested in overstepping jurisdiction. The so-called running around is just to try to resolve differences. I hope that the former

Comrades in arms can start well and end well, and will not fight because of misunderstandings. Just do your best and obey fate!"

"That's it, I understand."

Shimura Danzo nodded with satisfaction. This was also his estimate of worldly power. The deviation was not too big. Gusugi Fusui just gave him a reassurance.

As long as the Fusagi family doesn't directly join forces with the Uchiha and let the situation get out of control, everything is under control.

After finishing talking about the business, Danzo Shimura smiled in a good mood and said:

"It's a pity that Princess Liuli and Your Excellency Zhengcheng are not here this year. I would like to ask Your Highness Bu Shui to send my regards."

"My grandfather is not in good health. Having relatives around to take care of him can also comfort his heart. As he gets older, it is easier to think about messy things when he is alone."

Speaking of the previous daimyo, Kosugi Fusui was impressed by this man who was born in the Warring States Period and grew up in the shadow of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. He succeeded to the throne naturally, survived all the great ninja wars without any danger, and lived peacefully.

My grandfather, who abdicated the throne in favor of the next generation and took care of his old age, was still a little curious.

The current situation of the Fire Nation has something to do with the fact that he has subtly changed people's views during his reign.

The overall evaluation is that among the previous monarchs, he is considered to be at an average level. He served as the Taiping daimyo for decades, and then handed over a prosperous Fire Nation to his son.

In comparison, the Hokage of Konoha Village basically takes orders in the face of danger, or ends up dying unexpectedly, which is really a bit miserable.

"I heard about it years ago. I originally wanted to visit a doctor, but everything was complicated and I couldn't get away."

Well, the so-called visits have been really frequent over the years. Shimura Danzo has done a lot of things in order to become Hokage and conquer the ninja world. Wanting to increase his presence in front of the daimyo is just one of them.

It's a pity that neither the daimyo nor Kosugi Fusui's mother likes this "Ninja Darkness" who is famous for its intrigues, let alone in-depth cooperation.

Fortunately, there is a Gusugi Bushui who has no prejudice against ninjas and does not dislike cooperation with the "Root" organization.

"Also, I heard that the Furusugi family and Inuzuka have cooperated to establish a psychic beast breeding base, and the situation is quite large."

When faced with the temptation from the other side, Gushan Bushui had no intention of hiding it and nodded generously in acknowledgement.

"It can be considered a valuable attempt. Everyone gets what they need, and it also gives the government more choices. There are always some things that are not suitable for hiring ninjas to do openly..."

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

Not mentioning the issue of privacy, the positions of the Furusugi family and the Konoha ninjas are not completely consistent. A relationship that benefits both sides does not mean there is no competition.

Shimura Danzo also knew this very well.

"Psychic beast... We also have some research on hand, but it's a pity..."

The replacement of every key ninja tool is a major event for the ninja village. For example, the detonating talisman more than ten years ago was different from what it is now. The cost has been reduced a lot, but the power has been increased a lot. The biggest advantage is that it is stable.

, and easy to control.

Of course, the prerequisite for achieving this goal is large-scale production, a smooth supply chain, and logistics speed that can keep up.

In this regard, it is not easy for the Ninja Village to directly integrate resources, so that a big force like the Kosugi family has the opportunity to extend its influence deep into the Konoha Village in disguised form.

If psychic beasts become popular and a ninja branch of psychic beasts really develops, it will definitely affect the structure of the ninja world, and the resulting redistribution of interests will cause a series of turmoil.

As a result, research is possible but popularization and application is difficult.

Of course, if there is a force of the size of the Gushan family to promote it, the resistance will undoubtedly be much smaller.

The two of them talked absentmindedly about psychic beasts, and Hou Gushan Bushui suddenly said:

"By the way, we also have cooperation with the Kurama family. Kurama Congyun's daughter has a good relationship with Xianglin."

"Kumma?"

Shimura Danzo was still deeply impressed by this declining marginal ninja clan. The genjutsu-type blood successor limit was very famous. It was not that the Kurama tribe had any great achievements, but that this type of blood successor limit was too rare.

Well, Konoha Village is unique.

Things are rare and valuable, especially if there is only one single seedling left.

It’s not like no one pays attention to the little girl Kurama Yakumo. She has awakened the blood inheritance limit at a young age. Her qualifications are definitely not bad, but her physical condition is not good and she has obvious shortcomings.

And this is almost a common problem among the Kurama people.

A flawed ninja type is definitely not in line with the future development trend of ninjas.

Therefore, even if there was still room for salvation, Konohagakure still did not do anything to Kurama Yakumo, but only provided basic conveniences and allowed it to develop freely.

"That little girl, has she gotten better?"

"No, I've already started trying to improve it. As for the result, I won't mention it."

If it was really that easy to solve, it wouldn't be Gushan Bushui's turn to come looking for it.

"Ah……"

Shimura Danzo, who was greatly comforted when he saw Kosugi Bosui's condition, comforted him very enthusiastically,

"Whether it is Inuzuka or Kurama, they are too biased to help His Highness Bu Shui on his ninja path. If you don't mind, you can let the people under my command make suggestions."

"That's a good feeling."
