This teaching visit day organized by Konoha Village lasted for three days in total. But not all grades and classes have such a long time.

The graduation class lasted the longest, had the most things to explain, and had almost no parent-child interaction. However, there was a brief parent-teacher meeting at the end to conduct an on-site survey of each family's attitude toward their children becoming ninjas.

The fourth grade experience is shorter and ends in one and a half days, and there are no special requirements.

After all, there are still more than two years until they graduate, so there is no rush to learn more.

Even some of the children may not be able to persist until that time.

Ninja training is very hard, and the children in the ninja school are also under a lot of pressure. If you want to get good results, it is not enough to simply play ninja games.

This year, two more children in Xianglin's class couldn't hold on and were transferred to a specialized engineering and art class, no longer dedicated to full-time ninja education.

Umino Iruka stopped Xiang Rin and others and said the same thing.

On the road to ninja, some people give up halfway, and teachers and students are well prepared, but it still makes people feel a little regretful when such things happen.

From Umino Iruka's point of view, there is actually no need to care so much. However, every time he sees students disappearing from the classroom, he has a sense of dereliction of duty and failure to educate properly.

This time, Umino Iruka wanted to have a chat with Xiang Rin and others to see if they could persuade him.

Unfortunately, things backfired. Instead of parents planning for their children's future, the students themselves also had serious doubts about themselves.

Because of the existence of Xiang Lin, he and Uchiha Sasuke kept pace with each other and competed with each other, leading students with excellent academic performance to have a greater sense of crisis and study harder, which made the overall level rise a lot.

However, this phenomenon makes it quite difficult for students with mediocre qualifications and insufficient self-learning ability to keep up.

It is a nightmare for them to throw ordinary students who are not good enough into the "rocket class" and compete with children who not only have outstanding qualifications but also work harder.

The learning experience was so poor that it seriously affected my confidence.

Eventually, one of them gave up on studying ninja, and the other decided to transfer to another class.

Xiang Lin's "experience" was not very effective. Although they usually get along well with each other, they are not very good friends, and the effect of persuasion is very limited.

With the transfer of two people, the class size will not be smaller. The school will arrange some students to fill the seats, or simply select two relatively outstanding students from this year's exchange students to join.

"The road of life is too long. Some people accidentally fall apart while walking. We must cherish the fate of being together for a while."

Seeing that Xiang Lin, who was not very interested, was unhappy, Gu Shan Bu Shui inquired and learned the cause and effect of the matter.

"Do you feel a little regretful?"

"Well, although we don't interact much usually, it feels a bit sad to leave like this."

"People always tend to be stable and hate changes. Change means unknown risks. Those who are curious and always pursuing new things can only be found when they are young, ignorant and fearless. I am not saying that it is not good to be proactive.

, but human nature is like this. The essence of evolution is to use the smallest changes to adapt to the widest range of environments. But..."

Gu Shan Bu Shui touched Xiang Lin's little head and said with a smile,

"Humans, as the primates of all things, also involve a problem of psychological balance. Our hearts are said to be boundless, infinitely broad, and impossible to fathom, but in fact, the things they can accommodate are limited. Just like a seemingly large,

But it is a warehouse filled with useless thoughts, emotions and other debris. If you don’t pay attention to cleaning it regularly, it will become messy and full, and gradually it will no longer be able to accommodate new things.”

"If the old doesn't go, the new won't come?"

"I'm not asking you to discard them like old shoes, but to organize them well, make space, and put down what should be put away. Of course, don't be too nostalgic about what should be thrown away. People's hearts are complicated, but we still have to try our best to let them go.

Keep your mind pure, otherwise, you will easily be distracted by external things and your original intention will be unsightly..."

"I see!"

Although Xianglin was smart, it was difficult for her to understand the true meaning of her father's words, but she still understood the superficial persuasion.

“I don’t know which newcomers will come next year.”

"Expectation is also a good emotion..."

This time, Kosugi Fusui really didn't interfere, it was all up to the Third Hokage's discretion. The people who will join next year will most likely be the third team member prepared for Kaoru and Kurama Yakumo.

Just when the family was about to take a break at Myojinkan, take a dip in the hot springs, and relax, suddenly a plainclothes subordinate on duty approached and handed over a note.

"Shimura Danzo, invitation to meet? What happened again..."

It's not that Gusugi Bushui is doubtful, but that during this blank period, almost no major events happened, and there are not many things worthy of "Ninja World's Darkness" personally inviting Major Governor Gusugi to discuss.

Seeing Gushan Bu Shui hesitate, Hongye couldn't help but said:

"If you have anything to do, just go ahead and get busy. I'll take the kids there first. You can come back later."

"All right!"

After all, this is the famous Shimura Danzo, so we can’t keep him waiting.

"I'll come as soon as I go."

As he spoke, Gusugi Fusui followed a ninja dressed as an ANBU to a relatively secluded izakaya. When he opened the door curtain, he saw an old man with a gloomy aura eating and drinking.

However, beneath the decrepit appearance, Gu Shanbu Shui sensed the surging vitality.

"What a powerful soul container. It's a pity that a ninja with unlimited potential..."

The fact that Shimura Danzo used the forbidden technique, Fuzu Reincarnation, has been confirmed by Kosugi Bosui many times. Otherwise, he would have been seriously injured and on the verge of death on the night of the Uchiha genocide, and it would have been impossible for him to return to his peak.

Fusugi Fusui was not worried at all about whether Shimura Danzo could withstand the backlash of the forbidden technique.

You can doubt the strength and character of "The Darkness of the Ninja World", but you must never doubt its will.

Completely experienced three ninja wars, witnessed the death of the second Hokage in the battle, and gave up the position of the third Hokage to the third Hokage because of a mistake. He spent the rest of his life fighting, and dedicated his whole life to the development and growth of Konoha Village. That's it.

Will people lose themselves because of distracting thoughts mixed into their souls?

It is almost impossible for this to happen in a short period of time.

This is a more stubborn paranoid than Orochimaru. He has been distorted by dreams and ambitions to an extremely exaggerated level, and cannot be controlled by the obsessions of mere mortals.

"Elder Danzo?"

"It's me, Major Governor Bu Shui. Long time no see."

"I heard that your old injury recurred, and I thought something had happened. I saw it with my own eyes, and I felt relieved. You are getting stronger now, as good as before!"

Danzo Shimura didn't pay much attention to such compliments and asked the izakaya owner to serve some side dishes and sake.

"It can't be compared with the delicacies from the Gushan family, but it has a different flavor. You can try it."

He picked up the chopsticks without hesitation, took a few bites, and drank some wine before Gu Shanbu Shui said with a smile:

"I am also a local student who almost became a ninja. I am not a high-minded and ignorant playboy. I often visited this restaurant back then and even made some suggestions to the boss's dishes."

"Let me just say, it's obviously an ordinary restaurant, but it has a somewhat extraordinary beauty."

Danzo Shimura ate up the barbecue in front of him and asked the boss to serve him a large bowl of tonkotsu soup. Then he turned around and said to Fusugi Fusui,

"The Gushan family used to be big but not strong, with a mediocre presence. After Young Governor Bu Shui took the helm, it became much more powerful."

"Young, always like to play with new things, not worth mentioning!"

"You are too modest!"

Taking out a tissue and wiping his slightly greasy hands, Danzo Shimura continued,

"Because of your trivial gadgets, the village has recovered faster, and the bond with the Furusugi family and the daimyo has become tighter. For both of us, whether it is good or bad is not worth mentioning.

...There are some things that we should take a breath in advance."

"Please tell me."

"About the Sandaime... Hiruzen, what do you think of Master Bu Shui?"

"Well?"

Gu Shan Bu Shui was stunned for a moment, then realized the true meaning of this meeting. After thinking for a while, he carefully sorted out his words, and then responded,

"Sometimes I'm not tough enough, but... I've done pretty well over the past few years."

"In the past? No one can deny that being able to lead the village to stand firm in all the great ninja wars, and also teach a group of disciples and grandchildren, who have become the mainstay of the village, is indeed a great contribution. But..."

Danzo Shimura smiled and said,

"In the past few years, I have been too weak and people can't stand it. Is it because I am too old and stupid?"

"This is not something I, an outsider, can evaluate."

"Young Master Bu Shui is not an outsider. The actions of the current Hokage are directly related to the interests of the Fire Nation's daimyo. Hiruzen... was too gentle with the Sand Ninja and not strong enough with the Kumo Ninja, allowing them to take advantage of them."

The lower-level ninjas may not have deep understanding. For a controller like Fusugi Fusui who can see the flow of interests from the top-level design, Shimura Danzo's accusation is not unreasonable.

The amount of tasks and remuneration in Konohagakure has been rising steadily, because Gusugi Bushui has put in a large number of long-term tasks, which has pushed up the task commissions, and the share of some traditional fields has been snatched away by Suna Ninja.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's original intention may have been to consider the insufficient number of ninjas, to concentrate on taking on high value-added tasks, and to fully promote the recovery of Konoha Village.

The problem is that the Suna ninjas who more or less accepted the benefits did not feel that this was a favor from the Leaf Village. Instead, they were always worried about what they lost after the defeat.

In the Country of Grass, the proxy war is in full swing, and the relationship between Konoha Village and Iwagakure Village has never improved;

Not to mention Kumogakure Village, which had given up aiding the Uzumaki Country in the early years, and later caused Hyuga Hizashi to commit suicide due to appeasement, and became estranged from the Hyuga family.

Over the years, a series of events can be seen as the lack of strength, courage, and weakness of the top management of Konoha Village. As a result, they showed their timidity in repeated temptations and finally got out of hand.

In "Konoha Collapse Plan", Orochimaru's words about his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi were somewhat true.

The "Ninja Hero" is getting old and will soon be dead. It is better to die early, so that he can at least keep his famous name for the rest of his life.
