The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"Lord Mizukage, apart from Jonin Nagi and Jonin Mizuhara, all Jonin and Special Jonin have assembled." The young boy who spoke was none other than Chojuro, the famous child prodigy from Kirigakure.

"Mizuhara's over there!" Mei Terumi pointed irritably at Mizuhara in the air. That bastard, while there were extenuating circumstances, he threw himself way too fast!

As Mei Terumi made her move, even some of the Jonin who had already spotted Mizuhara in the air couldn't help but look up.

In an instant! Mizuhara in the air felt like he was sitting on pins and needles!

How to instantly offend all your former comrades?!

"Traitor? Hmph!"

"I don't think so. After all, we're about to be merged into Konoha now. It's just that he surrendered early," a well-informed Kirigakure ANBU Jonin said nonchalantly.

"To merge with Konoha? Good! It's like we've lost a powerful enemy, and we've even become stronger."

"It's just that working with those bastards from the Sand Village is a bit annoying!"

"By the way, how are the treatments in Konoha?"

"It should be fine. I was out on a mission not long ago and ran into that bastard from Sunagakure. Since the mission didn't conflict with his, I let him go." A Jonin said through gritted teeth, clearly annoyed. "That guy even bragged to me, saying that if we went to war with Kirigakure, he'd definitely get a bunch of teammates to wipe me out!"

"Then it seems unlikely that his plan will come to fruition."

"Shut up, all of you!" Mei Terumi was exasperated by the Jonin's idle chatter. None of them seemed to care about Kirigakure at all!

Even if you're just pretending, you should at least pretend a little!

"Is everyone here?" Mei Terumi's roar drew Hakugetsu's attention, causing him to avert his gaze.

"Except for one Jonin who is missing, all the other Jonin have assembled. As for that Jonin, I will issue a bounty on his head."

"No need, I probably took care of him." Recalling the unfortunate soul with a relatively large chakra level that Bai Yue had seen, Bai Yue waved his hand and then looked at Yuan Shi: "I will bring all the Jonin and even the Special Jonin of Kirigakure back to Konoha and officially make them Konoha ninjas. Until the Konoha ninjas arrive, this place will be temporarily under your management. Any questions?"

"No, thank you for your trust." The experienced Master Yuan certainly wouldn't do the opposite.

He had heard about the treatment in Sunagakure, and since the Hokage's arrangements for Kirigakure were almost the same as those for Sunagakure, he naturally had no complaints.

"That's good!" Nodding, Bai Yue led the group of Kirigakure Jonin back to Konoha. Of course, Mei Terumi was not left behind.

"Shikaku, I'm leaving this to you. Same as always, treat them the same as the old Sand Ninja. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." With that, Shiroki left.

"Uh..." The sight of over a hundred menacing gazes immediately stunned Shikaku Yama.

Our own Hokage is really carefree!

Last time in Sunagakure, at least the Hokage managed to maintain order, but now, he just left a single sentence and vanished without a trace. He's leaving these hundred-odd ferocious Kirigakure Jonin to deal with?!

Isn't that putting way too much trust in him? That's giving him way too much credit!

His gaze swept over Mei Terumi, who stood with her arms crossed: Whew~ thankfully, there's a former Mizukage who was subdued by the Hokage. At least there won't be a riot.

"Mr. Nara Shikaku, I know you." Looking at this man before her, a renowned shrewd individual from Konoha... Mei Terumi asked directly, "I wonder how we former Kirigakure ninja are treated?"

"A Jonin is demoted to a Special Jonin, and a Special Jonin is demoted to a Chunin," Shikaku replied immediately.

Upon hearing this, the Mist Ninja immediately started making a fuss.

"What a joke! I worked so hard to become a Jonin, and now you're just going to tell me to surrender?!"

"Chunin? Are you kidding me? Do you know how many people I killed to become a Special Jonin?"

…………

Seeing the Mist Ninja in such a chaotic state, Shikaku helplessly covered his face.

Sure enough, these guys couldn't sit still when the Hokage wasn't here!

The last time the Sand Ninja came, they were all very well-behaved.

"Shut up, all of you!" Mei Terumi glanced around with displeasure, then immediately said, "You all still have the strength and experience; it's only a matter of time before you get promoted back."

The room immediately fell silent upon hearing this.

The eccentric man who emerged from the blood mist was quite confident in his own abilities.

"And what about me? A Jonin?" Mei Terumi pointed to herself after calming down the noisy Kirigakure.

"That's true, but you also have the role of Hokage advisor," Shikaku immediately said.

Their Hokage is exploiting him, so he has to find a few people he can exploit to help him with his work.

"Oh? He's directly appointed as the Hokage's advisor?!" This result was both unexpected and reasonable.

If you were to send her out on a mission as an ordinary Jonin, I probably wouldn't feel comfortable with it. I'm afraid she might lead some Kirigakure ninja to defect or cause trouble.

Therefore, placing her under the Hokage's nose is obviously the most reasonable course of action.

"Yes, it's not just you, Chiyo and even Ebizo are the same. Judging by the time, they should arrive in the next few days." Shikaku continued, "The Hokage seems to dislike certain groups, but whether it's the former Sunagakure or the former Kirigakure, someone needs to govern in the Hokage Building to ensure the most basic fairness and justice."

"Ms. Terumi Mei, please be careful to strike a balance when it comes to group matters and the pursuit of interests."

"Alright! Thank you, Mr. Shikaku." Shikaku's words were readily accepted by the group of ninja from the Mist Village.

Just as Mei Terumi said, if you have the strength and experience, you will rise back up sooner or later. Ninjas who have emerged from the blood mist are never afraid of competition!

Placing Mei Terumi in the position of Hokage advisor is indeed a guarantee of the interests of all of them.

Why is it that those groundhogs have two Hokage advisors, while they only have one?

"Elder Yuanshi is also capable of serving as the Hokage's advisor," a Kirigakure ninja suddenly said.

"..." Although Shikaku wished for more laborers, he decided against it for Master Genji. At eighty or ninety years old, he should retire. He didn't want to become a burden they needed to care for instead of a laborer!

"Senior Master Yuan is too old, so let's forget about it. If you have a suitable candidate, please suggest one!" Shikaku continued, looking at the group of Mist Ninja. "Any one of you, or any senior from the village, can make a recommendation."

The group of Mist Ninja looked at each other, unable to find even one who could command their respect.

As for the village?

Sorry! The Blood Mist of the past didn't tolerate idlers! Apart from the living fossil, the older generation of ninjas were basically defeated by their subordinates who rose to power.

Qing's words might be somewhat convincing, but he's already dead!
