The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"What's wrong, Elder Yuan?"

"I have a list here. Find some trustworthy people in the Land of Water's branch and eliminate them one by one!" Master Yuan said solemnly.

"An unstable factor?" Mei Terumi frowned slightly. Not long ago, when she was chatting with Chiyo, the old woman had subtly reminded her of this, and now Genji was bringing it up himself.

"Hmm..." Master Yuan's wrinkled old face revealed nothing, but his tone remained as deep as ever: "The village is doing quite well now, and it will only get better in the future."

"I thought that after the destruction of Kirigakure, you would be the most resentful person." Mei Terumi looked at the respected old man in front of her, her emotions a little complicated.

As one of the founders of Kirigakure, he devoted all his energy to the village, only to have it destroyed during his lifetime.

"As people get older, their thoughts change." With a sigh, Master Yuan said slowly, "When I was young, if the war was fierce, we had to go to the battlefield when we were five or six years old! If we could survive for three days, we were considered elite ninjas."

"..." Even though there are records, listening to the description of the master, Mei Terumi still felt the tragedy of the Warring States period.

"Later, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha established ninja villages, attracting many ninja clans. Other countries followed suit, and the chaotic ninja world ushered in a brief period of peace." Master Yuan continued, "Although that guy was very naive, thanks to him, although the intensity of the ninja war increased, at least the children could live to be 12 or 3 years old before participating in the war."

"…………" Mei Terumi remained silent.

"Now I see the possibility of peace in the ninja world in the Fifth Hokage!" A brilliant light burst forth from his cloudy eyes: "Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha are very strong. The reason we followed Konoha and established a ninja village in the first place was because we were afraid that they would unite and destroy us. That's why we banded together for mutual support."

"Thinking back now, if Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had joined forces to unify the ninja world, would we have avoided so many wars?"

"you……"

"The Fifth Hokage is even stronger, stronger than Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha combined. If it were him, unifying the ninja world would be no problem at all!"

"So! All for peace!" Yuan Shi's gaze drifted to Bai Yue, who was smiling as she watched the barbecue. He said with emotion, "He is great, and his heart is broad. Even with power capable of destroying the world, he didn't directly annihilate the Mist Ninja just because they killed his parents!"

"…………" Scratching his head, Bai Yue retracted his eavesdropping technique, somewhat speechless. Why were these two praising him so much? Was he really that great?!

The reason they weren't killed was because they were all pre-selected employees.

As for the so-called hatred towards one's parents?

Sorry, he wasn't interested at all. Forget about bloodline ties; that was his past self—no, it can't even be called his past self anymore. With the constant transformation of the perfect bloodline and the refinement of the power of truth and falsehood, he had long since lost all connection to his past self.

Of course, not having much affection doesn't mean he won't repay the old man's kindness, so he had to kill Ao. He even considered completely destroying Kirigakure, but the temptation of being a part-time worker made him restrain himself from that idea.

In short, Bai Yue never considered herself a good person, though she didn't think of herself as a bad person either.

He only does what benefits him; everything else depends entirely on his mood.

"I understand!" Mei Terumi said solemnly. She had always thought that Genji, the founder of Kirigakure, would cause trouble because he was unhappy with the destruction of Kirigakure.

But her heartfelt words today changed her mind.

Of course, she still needed to be vigilant. She couldn't completely trust the list that Master Yuan gave her, so she didn't send people to assassinate them all.

Why? As a ninja, if you don't have a hundred or eighty tricks up your sleeve and enough vigilance, then you can't be called a ninja.

After all, not everyone is like hot-blooded idiots like Guy and Naruto.

"Bai Yue, Bai Yue! I got you a piece of deer leg, you should try it!" Akai excitedly handed Bai Yue a crispy, tender, and fragrant deer leg, his excitement undiminished: "Today was truly amazing! This must be what a passionate epic of youth looks like!!"

Stay away from me, your youth is burning me!

Speechless, Bai Yue accepted the enormous deer leg and looked helplessly at A Kai, pondering what to do next.

How about we bring Kai here and make him the head of the Water Country branch... or his mascot?

He's definitely clueless about government affairs, but he should be perfectly capable of being a mascot.

Why? His fiery youth almost scalded this large group of gloomy ninjas!

As is widely known, over 90% of the current Jonin and even Special Jonin in the Land of Water are from the Blood Mist era, as are many veteran Chunin.

The ninjas who survived that kind of high pressure, while perhaps not having twisted personalities, were all incredibly repressed. The sudden encounter with this sunny little acorn had an unimaginable impact on them.

"Kai, would you be interested in staying here permanently and becoming the head of the Water Country branch?" Bai Yue asked Kai immediately, as if she had just thought of it.

"Huh? Me?" Akai stared blankly at Bai Yue, suddenly finding the venison in his hand tasteless.

Are you deliberately making things difficult for me, Kai?

Ah Kai was well aware of his own abilities. He was good at fighting, but he was really not good at handling political affairs, or rather, he simply didn't know how.

"Isn't she doing quite well?" Guy immediately said as he saw Mei Terumi approaching. "Advisor Mei Terumi used to be the Mizukage of Kirigakure, isn't she more suited to be a branch manager now?!"

"…………" Mei Terumi looked at the thick-skinned Guy with a face full of black lines. Make her the branch manager of the Land of Water? What's the difference between that and still being the Hidden Mist Village? At most, it's just that the Hidden Mist Village has a different name.

Even Chiyo-senpai would be more suitable than her to be the branch manager of the Land of Water.

"Might Guy, Jonin, excuse me for interrupting a bit. I was only the acting Mizukage of Kirigakure before, I wasn't officially appointed," Mei Terumi said bluntly. "Besides, I'm not suitable to be a branch leader, but I think you'd be perfect for it!"

He is, after all, a descendant of the man who turned the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a laughingstock, and it is said that he has mastered that terrifying forbidden technique to a level far surpassing his father's.

With such a ruthless individual at the Land of Water branch, its safety is naturally beyond question.

"But I don't know how!" Akai shook his head repeatedly, vehemently refusing, "I know absolutely nothing about those things."

"It's alright, Neji and Shikamaru are here to help you!"
