The Thousand Faces of Konoha's Weird Man

128tea party

While talking, Saki had already assumed his most comfortable position, almost lying on the tatami.

After all, he was born in China, and even after spending so many years in Naruto's world, he still wasn't used to sitting on his knees. Most of the time at home, we sit cross-legged on the mat just like Northeastern people do on the Kang.

Previously, because of Kira's status, Saki had to hold on, but now it's like his face has been torn, and he is no longer afraid.

On the contrary, Kira, a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder who looked extremely dignified, did not show any unpleasant emotions at all, and even had a strong interest in Sakichi's actions.

"I have no affiliation with Kujo-sama." Of course, Kira and Kujo have nothing to do with each other. One is a second-generation official with no official position, and the other is Nayan, who has no real power. What kind of intersection can they have? At most, they are related to Neon. Therefore, we are just acquaintances in Kyoto. "We are just like-minded partners."

Kira was honest, and Saki knew he was telling the truth. In this country, if you want to inherit a certain position, you need a certain surname. Unless the daimyo's bloodline is extinct, there will be many relatives who will adopt the child for him, and it won't be Kujo's turn no matter what.

But Kira is different. As can be seen from the nursery rhyme incident, he not only has ambitions but also has the means, and also has an identity that can help him realize his ambitions.

The fundamental contradiction of Kujo, or Konoha, is the one-country-one-village policy.

Through previous contacts, Saki also understood the grudge between him and Sarutobi Asuma. Although the Twelve Guardian Ninjas were ostensibly caused by the different ideas between Sarutobi Asuma and his companions, the driving force behind the scenes was Kujo. Sarutobi Ashima was certainly not an idiot, so his relationship with Kujo was very stiff.

To put it simply, Kujo was dissatisfied with the current development of the Fire Country and wanted to take control of the military.

It is not difficult to see from the story of Naruto that the daimyo is a creature in name only, that is, a spiritual sustenance. The philosophy practiced by Konoha and other ninja villages is similar, that is, raising daimyo like pigs, protecting them well and raising them. The more optimistic the guy is, the easier it is for him to take the position of daimyo.

And this group of people who were raised like pigs still enjoyed it and felt that they had great rights.

It is not difficult to see the limitations of his vision from the attitude of the Fire Nation daimyo who believes that giving more honors to ninjas will solve the problem.

Apparently Konoha took very comprehensive care of him, and an epic giant baby was born.

However, the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are often clear.

In just a few decades, not only the Fire Nation, but also the world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Ninjas have become the masters of the world, and it is obvious to all that the power of the village shadow far exceeds that of the daimyo.

Anyone with a little common sense can understand the principle of "power comes from the barrel of a gun."

The policies set by the first and second generations were quite sinister, leaving many aspects of people's livelihood to the daimyo. They only had to manage strategic resources and violent institutions.

During natural and man-made disasters, daimyo are often criticized, but the ninjas who come to the rescue gain more prestige.

Perhaps the one-country-one-village policy initially strengthened the Fire Nation's national power and gave the daimyo many rights. However, as the ninja became more powerful, the things the daimyo could strive for became more and more important. few.

Faced with this situation, the daimyo clan often have two choices, one is to completely eat and wait for death, the other is to slowly lurk and wait for opportunities.

As for the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, Sakichi thought it might be the last resort for the daimyo to resist, but it seemed that Konoha saw through it and forced him to insert a Konoha ninja, and also attracted a group of people who had good relations with Konoha. This mechanism is broken down internally. Sarutobi Asuma also conveniently wiped out all the effective forces that Kujo had worked so hard to build, completely ruining the daimyo's dream of establishing an armed force.

Therefore, it is difficult to say who will win in the game between Kujo and Sarutobi Asuma.

Sarutobi Asuma returned to Konoha and continued to be a jounin, and also brought a team of Konoha's second generation officials. Kujo has lost his actual position and is silently licking his wounds in an almost idle state.

Perhaps the conflict between Sarutobi Asma and Sarutobi Hiruzen arose at that time. Without Asma's knowledge, he was used by the Third Generation or the higher-ups of Konoha to make him mistakenly believe that he was in the eyes of Hiruzen. It's just a tool.

Of course, this is all Saki's guess.

Kujo's actions over the years were also summed up after learning from the previous failure. You Konoha can send people to my team to stir up shit, can't I send people to your village to stir up shit?

Although the price paid was relatively high, the flower of Saki finally bloomed.

Kujo, who has chips in his hand, of course refuses to stop here, so he wants to make further progress. Although the daimyo of this generation have been raised like pigs, it doesn't matter. We can place our hopes on the next generation, so we have The ambitious Kira came into his sight.

Kira's methods are not that superb, anyone with a little common sense can see through them. Of course Kira himself understands it, so his method is not only to build momentum for himself, but more of a test, a test for the daimyo to see if this pig is really a pig, or is pretending to be a pig. .

It turned out that it was probably really a pig.

Many times, those who earn a salary of two to three thousand yuan are the most enthusiastic about politics and economics. They often hide behind the computer screen to criticize this and that.

Do you think people in high positions don’t understand some simple truths?

Just like paying social security, some people have calculated that when we pay more, we get less, but the official only refutes the rumors and does not give you the real algorithm at all.

You all see that there is a problem here. Don’t the parties involved know it? But once the matter involves too many levels and too wide a scope, it is not just a matter of right and wrong. The people who come up with the policy are also helpless, but they I can’t say that I have to fill this hole silently.

To put it more simply, how could Zhao Kuangyin get the yellow robe? Isn’t it because of everyone’s recommendation? Is this kind of thing conceivable in the feudal dynasty? It’s hard to imagine, but it really happened.

How can the Chai family be defeated? The army is in their hands. They can only choose to die or be raised as pigs. It is better to die than to live. People named Chai all have this consciousness. Don't the great names of the Fire Country have this consciousness? Are you enlightened? The first daimyo was definitely a smart person, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to make such a decision, but later on, it became a habit.

Just like there are always two sides to everything, opposition exists at any time, and it is difficult for a group of people to be of the same mind.

Some people choose to be comfortable, while others choose to take risks.

Just like Kira and Kujo who are now together, one has status and hopes to become a daimyo, reversing the relationship between the Land of Fire and Konoha from top to bottom.

A person has the ability, money, and power to challenge the authority of ninjas from the bottom up and change the balance of power between the Land of Fire and Konoha.

Their cooperation is a perfect match, and over time they will become a force that cannot be ignored.

Of course, just like many chemical reactions, the current situation in the Fire Country is inert elements. It is not as simple as imagined to produce chemical reactions. At this time, the help of a catalyst is needed, and Sakichi happens to be that catalyst.

The timing of Sakichi's appearance is really good. If he hadn't appeared, Kujo would have had to find another opportunity. If he couldn't ride on the collapse of Konoha, Kira would have no reason to do it on a whim, let alone believe that Kujo could shake Konoha. With limited ability, cooperation matters may be put on hold indefinitely.

If you miss this best moment, the ceiling of the Naruto world will soon be overturned. When Akatsuki completely crushes every village three years later, every ninja village will also wake up from the thinking mode of one family being the only one. Actively preparing for war, many secrets that have never been born have also come to the market. Even if no one can master things, they can still find suitable talents to inherit them.

Konoha is even more incredible. Characters like Naruto and Sasuke are cheating on the highway, and their strength has soared to the point where their parents can't even recognize them.

Even more horrifyingly, Zuitu turned around. Facing an opponent that he could not kill, the samurai had no choice at all.

This is the so-called will of the world, and it cannot be stopped by human power.

In the original world, Sakichi died without a cure, causing Kujo to lose his last weight, and he silently licked his wounds for a lifetime.

After all, by the time he picked up the millet and rifle, Kaguya and Naruto were already nuking each other. Let alone getting in the way, even looking at them would make them blind.

"Like-minded partners, I think they are two giant crocodiles who cherish each other. Not only do they want to swallow the delicious fruit of the Land of Fire, they are not prepared to let it go even if it is wrapped in a hard-core Konoha. "

"It's not two, it's three." Kira seemed to be quite happy with Sakichi's sarcasm or metaphor. After correcting Sakichi's mistake, he actually took out a set of exquisite tea sets and prepared to make tea. "It's been a long day. The crocodile can carefully discuss how to divide this delicious food."

Saki took a closer look and found that the tatami mats on Kira's left and right sides were empty, and they could store a lot of things after being opened. The exquisite tea set was placed in his hand, and there were some pots and jars on the other side.

"Master Kira, are you preparing for a tea party?" Hattori Masashige, who was rubbing his hands, actually had a little excitement in his tone.

"Rigao Jun is a queen of a famous family, so she deserves it."

"Then let's go and prepare mountain spring water." This guy actually went to boil water while trotting all the way.

Only then did Saki realize that tea parties seemed to be a favorite way of socializing among Neon executives. This kind of royal family also likes to dye their teeth black and watch women with pale faces dance.

Unexpectedly, the tea ceremony was also very popular in this world. Fortunately, Kira didn't see any tendency to stain his teeth, otherwise Sakichi could only say "Excuse me."

The neon tea ceremony has a long history. There are different opinions on when exactly it crossed from Huaguo, but it must have been very early. Because the way they drink tea is still to make tea, that is, take a tea brick, cut it, crush it, and then stir it vigorously with a brush-like object while rinsing it, to get a basin of water that looks like a pot of water.

Those who have the means will put other things in their tea, such as spices. Those are rich people. In a society with low productivity, spices are worth as much as gold.

The tea ceremony pays attention to artistic conception, heat, water temperature, etc., but in the end it all requires money to support it. Only with a good environment can your artistic conception be reflected, only with money can you buy good tea, and only with money can you have good tea sets.

The most important one is the tea set. The most famous tea set in the history of the Warring States Period is undoubtedly the ninety-nine-fat eggplant.

Matsunagahide, a three-surnamed domestic slave who was comparable to Lu Bu, the only time he was strong-willed was when Oda Nobunaga forced him to hand over the tea set. In order to preserve this tea set that was more important than his life, he set himself on fire.

It can be seen that the more status people have, the more they value such illusory things, while people with insufficient status often want to improve their level by collecting such things that can reflect their status. Of course, there is another way to marry someone from a famous family. Women, there is a market for this kind of thing.

Hattori Masashige was obviously excited to find out that he could have tea with someone of Kira's level.

However, Sakichi was not excited at all, mainly because of the way he drank tea, turning things like cups around in his hands and paying them back with a few compliments against his will. More importantly, the tea cup was passed around to drink. In other words, Saki might have to drink Kira's leftover water, which was hard for him to accept.

For senior executives, drinking a glass of water with their subordinates is a good way to win people's hearts. This is also true in the history of the Neon Warring States Period.

"Cough, cough, Kira-sama," Saki cleared his throat and felt the need to stop this meaningless exchange of saliva. "There is not much time left before the Chuunin Exam. Should we hurry up and talk about it?" concrete action plan”

"Sakichi-kun is anxious." Even though he said this, Kira's hands still did not move. Instead, he accelerated the speed of grinding the tea leaves. The medicine pestle and the porcelain bowl collided more fiercely. "Aren't we talking?"

"Masaki-sama is going out."

"Haha, as expected, as Kujo said, you are a bit too smart." As the saying goes, walls have ears. This is the chassis of Konoha. How can a person like Kira, who is doing great things, not be careful. His intention in banging these tea sets was just to confuse the sound of the conversation. As for Zhengcheng, he used secret techniques to reduce the sound of everyone's conversation to the point where they could not be detected.

Even if Tong Zitie stood on the roof and put his ear to the roof, he could only conclude that the group of people below were drinking tea. As for what was said, he could not hear clearly.

"Okay, then I'll follow Kira-sama's arrangements." Seeing Hattori Masashige coming in with hot water, he nodded imperceptibly at Kira, and Saki also understood that now was the time to be sure.
