In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 236 Gotham City Councilor

Her ability to manipulate sand and Rasa's ability to manipulate gold sand both come from the Third Kazekage. By combining wind and earth jutsu, they can easily control a certain type of substance.

It can be iron sand, gold sand, or sand, depending on the changes in the nature of the earth escape technique mastered by the practitioner.

The Sand Village already has a complete talent selection mechanism in the field of magnetic escape, which can do its best to discover talents with relevant qualifications from the village. There is no need for her and Rasa to establish it, because the Third Kazekage has done everything that needs to be done.

While Jialulu was still thinking, the Third Kazekage also quietly noticed the change in her expression, so he looked at Jialulu's position, gave Chiyo a look, and said:

"Elder Chiyo, please help Qingshui plan this matter first, and then let Qingshui submit a plan to me. I still have some new tasks to assign to Luosha and Jialulu."

Chiyo immediately understood and made way.

She already knew the latter's attitude from the Third Kazekage.

Shimizu comes from a noble family, and his disciples include Chiyo and Ebizo. He can definitely be considered a direct descendant of the Sunagakure. If his strength meets the requirements, he is fully qualified to be a candidate for the Kazekage.

Chiyo only needs the Third Kazekage to give Shimizu a fair chance to compete, unlike Sarutobi Hiruzen who deliberately suppressed White Fang.

Judging from ability, it is unlikely that Luo Sha will be able to defeat Qing Shui.

Of course, if the Third Kazekage really had that intention, then Chiyo and Ebizo would not be just for show. As long as the Third Kazekage was still the Third Kazekage who put the village first, he would not let that situation happen.

That would represent a split in power within Sunagakure, something no one wants to see.

The answer Chiyo got from the Third Kazekage made her very satisfied.

The latter bias is already obvious.

Choose the one that can bring a brighter future to the Sand Village.

Of course, this does not mean that the Third Kazekage has given up on Rasa.

Luo Sha is still qualified to compete at the poker table, but his cards and card skills are inferior to those of his opponent.

Among the ranks of Kage-level powerhouses, Luo Sha may not be considered strong, but at least he is qualified to become a Kage. Facing other non-Kage-level players, he can still use a dimensionality reduction attack.

After all, he and Galura are still important fighting forces of the Sand Village, and the Third Kazekage also needs to be appeased in an appropriate way.

……

……

DC world.

Gotham City Hall.

"I solemnly swear that I will be loyal to the citizens of Gotham, protect their rights, and abide by the law..."

In the meeting hall of City Hall, billionaire and well-known Gotham entrepreneur Bruce Wayne was sitting in a chair next to Commissioner Gordon, watching the inauguration ceremony above with his ears tilted.

Around them are more Gotham’s political and business celebrities and upper-class people.

For example, Mr. Hamilton, the new mayor of Gotham who took office last year, was the one who listened most attentively among everyone present.

“Gotham was once the most prosperous city in the United States, with an incomparably glorious history. No matter in the past or now, this city has always had good citizens who worked hard to build this city. I will do my best to make it shine again, make it more prosperous, and have more confidence in it.

Make Gotham great again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by applause in the council hall, Qingshui put down the speech in his hand, bowed slightly and saluted gracefully to the celebrities from all walks of life in Gotham.

After the oath and speech, he had become a member of the Gotham City Council and had an official status.

Even though this position is limited to four years, the total number of Gotham City council members is 40.

Every two years, according to local law, half of Gotham City's city council members will be replaced.

The power of parliamentarians is neither small nor great.

It is said to be not small because city councilors have the power to directly influence city legislation, participate in budget review and management, and review various local bills.

It is said to be not big because the power of the city council is dispersed among so many councillors. Even if the power is greater than that of the police chief and other heads of various municipal agencies, the power of a single individual is definitely not as great as the latter.

However, in terms of actual status, city councilors still have a very high position.

At least Qingshui became the city councilor, and the luck progress bar went up a little, exceeding 50% and reaching 51.83%.

"Come on, everyone, smile."

After the inauguration speeches, Shimizu stayed and took photos with other city officials and Gotham celebrities.

Then came the boring but necessary celebration ceremony.

"Congratulations. What are your plans next? Will you run for mayor in two years?"

Bruce Wayne held a glass of red wine and sat casually on the sofa next to Qingshui.

"It's hard to say. Let's see how things develop over the next two years."

Qingshui picked up a piece of fruit pulp with a toothpick and put it into his mouth, mumbling.

He was able to push Hamilton to the position of mayor because this guy had been working in Gotham politics for several years and had a certain foundation. Before Shimizu approached him, he already had the fourth most votes in the election when Sharp was elected.

But Qingshui couldn't push himself up.

In the underworld and the business world, he has a relatively high status, but in the political world, he has a certain influence thanks to the Assassin's League, but this is not brought about by his own identity.

Unless he can directly use the underworld soldiers to tamper with the data like the Donkey Party did.

The position of mayor might be manageable, but it would probably be difficult to move up any higher.

He became a city councilor as a non-partisan. It doesn't mean that non-partisans can't rise to high positions in their careers, but the difficulty will obviously increase several or even dozens of times.

As for whether to join these political parties, Shimizu has not yet decided.

"That's good. I was afraid that you were too anxious like some people in the past. Now that Gotham's underworld has been rectified under your leadership, the crime rate has decreased. But I think you also know that the gangs are only one of the reasons for the high crime rate in Gotham, not the root cause."

Bruce Wayne put down the red wine and spoke to the clear water.

"Then how do you think we can solve this problem? You've been busy for so many years, but I don't see any good results."

Shimizu glanced at Bruce Wayne.

"This is a very complicated issue. You should have realized that the municipal institutions are actually controlled by those prominent families. Changing the mayor, changing the person in charge, and modifying the policies will not have much effect. Even Commissioner Gordon does not have complete control over the Gotham Police Department.

Gangs and corruption are manifestations, but there are actually deeper reasons.”

"Like a secret society like the Owls?"

Qingshui held a toothpick in his mouth and looked at the dance floor in front of him.
