To be honest, from the perspective of Konoha ninjas, Asuma should not allow himself to listen to the fallacies Shiraishi is about to say. Things that are contrary to the will of fire are the will represented by Shiraishi.

However, for Sarutobi Asuma, it is very necessary to know something different from the Will of Fire.

Because what Shiraishi said is right, they are all rebels.

It's just that Shiraishi prepared and followed a different path from Konoha.

And he is still in the stage of theory and thinking, and has not yet come up with the answer he wants, so he remains confused.

He knew that he could not let Shiraishi say this. Once he listened to the other party's words, it meant that he had almost no way to turn back.

This man is his sworn enemy who killed his brother and sister-in-law.

This is what she told herself in her heart, but when she wanted to reject the other party, Asma opened her mouth and moved her lips, but found that she couldn't say a word.

Finally, he said: "I don't need to know the answer to this kind of thing from the rebel mouth."

Rather than making a temporary tactical retreat, Asma's current appearance is more like fleeing in embarrassment.

He was very afraid of what Shiraishi would say next, and the so-called answer might subvert his imagination.

Therefore, running away is Asuma's only option now.

He was wavering, feeling both fear and uneasiness, but also inexplicable expectation.

Struggled between Konoha ninja and rebellion.

Seeing Asuma running away, it seemed that he was planning to escape from the so-called reality. To this, Shiraishi just shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

It is very troublesome to get in touch with someone like Asma who is full of rebellious thoughts.

Even the Sandaime Hokage, who is his biological father, has spent so many years and used various methods to make Asuma change his mind. Shiraishi does not dare to hope that the other party can really calm down and obey the arrangements of a stranger like him.

In any case, there is still the so-called brother-sister-sister feud between them.

With such a gap, trying to convince Asma is not an easy task in itself.

Just like Tsunade, it takes time to prove. If they can't let themselves pray for change from the bottom of their hearts, then even if they are pulled into their own camp, sooner or later they will rebel and rebel against the enemy.

"Although Konoha is very boring now, the ninjas who belong to Konoha are not as boring as imagined."

Perhaps because he has seen too many things that he has to accept, Asuma's rebellious thoughts are particularly conspicuous in Konoha.

Maybe the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, who had passed away at the time, also saw some signs.

After all, he was the founder of the ninja school institution, which weakened the ninja clan, including his own Senju clan, and improved the status of civilians.

Although the changes were not thorough enough, causing the current Konoha ninja clan to be too conservative in this regard, the other party clearly noticed the power from another class and focused on development.

He is mean to the Uchiha clan, and he is also mean to the Senju clan to which he belongs.

This kind of person is a true political figure. When necessary, his family's interests can also be used to reduce his family's interests. Targeting the Uchiha clan is just for political needs, not simply to avenge public hatred.

The only pity is that the other party died at the wrong time.

The First Ninja World War changed many aspects of the Ninja World.

Konoha also completely fell from the altar and became no longer aloof.

Of course, Asuma's rebellion is not the same as the path followed by the Second Hokage.

The Hokage system that dominates the shinobi village was denied by Asuma.

One Country One Village, as the name suggests, is a union of one country and one village. From beginning to end, it is not a whole.

The path followed by the Fire Nation and the path followed by Konoha are never the same thing.

Alliance is for profit.

The trend of interests is like the mercenary system that ninjas need to survive.

This is the core essence of One Country, One Village. The nature of mercenaries has not changed since the Warring States Period.

Although Asma did not understand the principle, he clearly felt the irrationality of the one-country-one-village system.

This irrationality is also the origin of Asma's rebellion.

Therefore, Asuma's escape was not an important matter in Shiraishi's opinion.

If he can continue to persevere in his uneasy belief, then, without Baishi opening his mouth, he will come back sooner or later and take the initiative to ask questions instead of simply evading the facts.

If Asuma's will was not so strong, Shiraishi would have pretended that he had never said anything and would never interact with him again, and would just deal with him as an enemy in the future.

No matter what he does, Shiraishi will not lose anything.

"What a terrible guy..."

When Asma returned to the hotel, she found that her back was covered in cold sweat and she was panting and taking deep breaths.

Recalling Shiraishi's tempting words, luckily I escaped in time. If I hadn't done that, I might have been deceived now.

In any case, he is a ninja of Konoha. Although his philosophy is not in harmony with the Hokage, he has never wanted to do such a thing as betrayal.

In fact, there is no need for him to accept the temptation of the traitor. No matter how much the other party does in this country, it will never change the fact that the other party is a traitor.

"I am afraid of rebellious remarks, really..."

Asuma shook his head with a wry smile and did not continue.

He didn't know what the so-called answer from Bai Shi was, but it was precisely because he didn't know that he felt scared.

If you know what the other person wants to say, it won't feel so scary.

The danger of such a person is not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of ideology.

After all, Asuma knew that he was an anomaly in Konoha's general environment.

If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, you can roughly understand the situation Shiraishi is facing. However, the stage where the other party is located may be higher, and it is not limited to one ninja village or one country.

The fact that the Kingdom of Ghosts started to interfere in the affairs of the small country proved that the other party was planning something.

If that was also a form of practicing the path, Asuma felt vaguely uneasy.

What Shiraishi seeks may exceed everyone's imagination.

"It seems I can't stay in this country anymore..."

Asuma's original plan was to stay in this country for a while, and then leave the Kingdom of Ghosts after the envoy from the Country of Fire had settled matters with the Country of Ghosts and returned.

But now I have to change my action plan.

I must leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Just avoid the other person and calm down for a while.

Asuma thought so.

Time will make you forget everything here.

"It's really rare. As the fourth Mizukage, do you still have the time to come to my place for a walk at this time?"

While the quarrel with the envoys from the five major countries continued, the military also came to have a special guest.

The Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Tangachi Yagura.

Working in cahoots with Shiraishi... no, I should say he's a guy with a shared destiny.

Although the two had a tit-for-tat confrontation at the Five Shadows Conference and their relationship was very unharmonious, it was just a show for others to see.

Another example is to drive up prices. Someone is always needed to provide assistance. Otherwise, Shiraishi alone would not be able to get what he wants from the Kingdom of Wind so easily.

"Stop talking, now I, the Mizukage, exist in name only."

Not sure if this was a complaint, Yagura sat on the sofa opposite Shiraishi and sighed deeply.

"how?"

Shiraishi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Now Terumi Mei has started to get involved in various matters of managing the village, and has gained the support of most of the elders. In the blink of an eye, those people have completely betrayed me, the Fourth Mizukage. I haven't abdicated yet."

Yagura said with a bitter smile.

"Who gave you a bad start? If those elders support you, they are afraid that one day they will lose their lives."

Shiraishi said this.

"The Blood Mist Sect must be eradicated. If the influence of the Blood Mist is not completely eliminated, then it will be meaningless for me to become the Fourth Mizukage."

"As long as you can look away."

Look away?

Only after sitting in that position can you understand the beauty of power.

Yagura is no exception.

In the past, during the Third Mizukage period, although he also helped the Third Mizukage handle government affairs, that and Mizukage's identity must be on two different levels.

But Yagura's resignation is inevitable.
