"And I...... Relate? ”

Looking left and right, he found that when the leader's voice fell, the eyes of everyone present were all looking at him, which allowed the unexpected Zhaomei Ming to be sure, and the core reason mentioned by the person in front of him was indeed himself. Then he was dumbfounded, blinking his eyes, raised his hand tremblingly, and pointed at himself in disbelief. While the leader nodded slightly and replied in the affirmative, as if a question mark appeared on his head, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"You, you...... You're talking to me...... Are you kidding?! ”

Obviously, just like the change in the timeline, in the original book, whether it is the style of behavior or the appearance of the body, it is already close to the full-fledged Zhaomei. At this moment, she is just a young and vigorous girl...... With the changes in the history of the years, the changes that happened to Terumi were not just changes in appearance. What's more, it is the significant experience gap brought about by the time interval of more than ten years. And for the scheming of Terumi who is still in her girlhood, she must not be as calm as becoming the fifth generation of water shadows. So much so that as soon as the situation is slightly out of control, it will seem panicked.

Of course, this is the picture that the leader wants to see the most......

After all, Zhaomei, who has not been able to reach the level of being independent, is not only in scheming, but is far inferior to those scheming old foxes. is also because of the scheming strategy, which is relatively superficial, so that the leader can firmly grasp the initiative of the discourse in the process of talking with Terumi. And then be able to completely put your mind at ease and plan all this without distractions.

"Of course it's about you......"

Thinking of this, Terumi showed a panicked look at a loss, and the hidden smile in the eyes of the leader's mask became more and more vigorous. Immediately, the remaining worries in his heart dissipated, and he looked up and looked around, looking at the different looks on everyone's faces. While stretching out his index finger, he shook it slightly, and continued to answer unhurriedly.

"After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, if it is as I planned, you will succeed in overthrowing the rule of the four generations of Mizukage...... So, you, who are young and promising, and whose prestige is obviously at the top, must be pushed down the river and become the successor of the next generation of Mizukage, right? ”

"Huh? Speech...... That's right......"

In a state of confusion, Terumi didn't expect that the leader, who was blaming himself for the reason why the plan was not suitable for everyone, would suddenly change his mind and praise himself. So much so that he was slightly stunned, and the questioning words that originally came to his lips suddenly dissipated into invisibility under this sudden sense of satisfaction. Then he was upright, his face was slightly red, and he clasped his arms with both hands, trying to maintain a serious appearance, and stammered and continued.

"Yes...... But this has nothing to do with ...... Tell me that the root cause of the plan is not applicable...... Does it matter?! ”

"Of course it does...... Don't forget, being a leader is not something that can be achieved with more than just prestige. On top of that, you have to have the strength to convince the public, don't you? ”

After perceiving the change in Terumi's mood, the leader who is well versed in the way of appeasing a sweet jujube with a stick appears to be more and more comfortable. And then everyone's attention was deeply attracted by the content of his conversation with Terumi Ming. While shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, he tried to suppress his laughter, and responded in a gentle voice pretending to be innocent.

"After all, at the end of the day, I'm just an outsider...... Even this time, I can help you overthrow the rule of the four generations of Mizukage. But until the real culprit behind the scenes is solved, it is just a useless effort to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. ”

"The real murderer behind the scenes...... You mean, those two guys who showed up in Mizukage's office?! ”

Fortunately, although the scheming is much more immature and youthful than the original book. But if everyone is convinced, he can afford to be the leader of this group of changemakers. It is enough to prove that Zhaomei Ming, whether it is the leadership talent or the growth potential she contains, is definitely quite an amazing existence! So much so that the leader just reminded him slightly, and Zhaomei Ming was like an initiation, and she instantly came back to her taste. Then the look of grievance and doubt on his face appeared, and he began to gradually converge, and he supported his face with one hand, and thought to himself.

"Indeed, the perfect human pillar force of the three-tailed Isofu, the fourth generation of Mizukage-sama with great strength. can be brainwashed into puppets at his disposal and drive without making a sound. It's enough to prove that that guy's strength is equal to that of the fourth generation of Mizukage-sama...... No, it should be said that it is a more powerful existence than the fourth generation of Mizukage-sama......"

"That's right...... In other words, before you, as the future successor of the Mizukage, have enough strength to compete with him. Even if I help you now, I will overthrow the four generations of Mizukage. It's just to let that guy spend a little more time to brainwash and control you, who are not as strong as the fourth generation of Mizukage, into his new puppet. There is no substantial benefit to the banning of the name of 'Blood Mist Village', does it? ”

Seeing Terumi's sudden realization, the leader, who had saved a lot of tongues by avoiding too much explanation, nodded with relief. Then he looked around, and from the faces of the people around him, he saw a serious appearance that seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and tried to digest and understand. So that the leader who regained the direction of the topic was able to steer the topic back to the sentence that caused the disagreement in the first place.

"So, as I said a long time ago, although there is a plan to solve the four generations of Mizukage now, it is not suitable for you now......"

Of course, at this moment, I have realized that it is impossible for me to pin all my hopes on this unknown outsider in front of me. It is absolutely impossible to pray innocently, the person in front of you will always stay in Wuyin Village to help him for the rest of his life. Under the leader's patient explanation, when she heard these words again, she naturally would not be as emotionally uncontrollable as before. On the contrary, it is because the people in front of him are trying their best to consider their own group, but they are impulsive and reckless, and they regard the good intentions of the people in front of them as vague and perfunctory, and they feel guilty and guilty.

"I see...... Indeed, from a long-term perspective, it is too anxious to focus on immediate interests and ignore hidden crises. For us, it will do more harm than good......"

It was precisely because of this that as soon as Terumi Ming's voice in the leader fell behind, she subconsciously raised her hand and scratched her crimson skin embarrassedly. Immediately, he gently patted the situation a few times, allowing himself to concentrate as much as possible, and at the same time, as if he felt sincerely convinced and grateful for the selfless assistance of the person in front of him, he began to respond respectfully from the heart.

"Uh...... Ahem, I'm sorry, but we are the ones who are abrupt and blame you...... Please go on, what do you need us to do in the next period? ”

"It's okay, I said it too general before, so you misunderstood, and it's understandable......"

Fortunately, what made Terumi feel relieved was the leader who was misunderstood, and instead of holding on to what was to blame. On the contrary, it is an understatement, and all the responsibility for causing misunderstandings is put on oneself. Immediately, invisibly, a wave of favorability of the fog ninjas present was brushed at the same time. Because of his outgoing perception, he vaguely sensed that Obito had summoned his own elephant clone and intended to move there, and continued as briefly and plainly as possible.

"Well, like I just said. To successfully eradicate the current state of the 'Blood Mist Village'? You have to start with you and take the lead in making efforts, according to the beauty of the ......."

"More ...... Step up your game? ”

"That's right, just like what you just saw with your own eyes...... Rather than wasting time preparing for an assassination operation that would have little effect and could easily lead to heavy losses in manpower. It's better to give up and devote the free manpower and time to more diligently. ”

Under the unreserved trust of everyone, the leader's speech became more and more smooth and straightforward. Then he shook his head and shook his head, and in the words he blurted out, he directly gave everyone present a more effective and correct goal to strive for.

"Especially you, Terumi ...... If you want to make a move and completely overthrow the bloody reign of the man who controls the four generations of Mizukage, or rather, the man who controls the four generations of Mizukage? Then, as the new successor of the Mizukage, your strength must reach the level of a shadow-level powerhouse before you start the action! ”

"Shadow-level powerhouse...... Me? ”

Although there is a vague conjecture in my mind about the prerequisites required for the implementation of the leader's plan. But after the leader admitted it himself, it still made the slightly young and immature Terumi feel slightly stunned, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness in front of the peak of the "shadow level", which can be called the peak of the ninja world's strength. Then he swallowed his saliva and whispered in response without confidence.

"However, to achieve that level of strength is still a bit too far away for me...... Want...... Or...... Successor or something, let it be left to someone else......"

"No, in today's Wuyin Village, ......you are the only one who has enough potential and prestige to become the future fifth generation of Mizukage."

Zhaomei whispered, showing a submissive and empty heart. In the impression of the leader, the image of a strong woman with both rigidity and softness can be regarded as a judgment of two people, with a significant difference. The leader was slightly surprised and stunned, and realized more and more clearly and profoundly that the beauty in front of him was just a fledgling young girl. Immediately, he secretly thought to himself whether the expectations and pressure he gave to the person in front of him would be too large, and there would be a crushing confidence of the person in front of him. While making up for the loss, he stretched out his hand with his fingers, flicked Zhaomei's forehead, and replied solemnly word by word.

"So, you've got to have a little faith in yourself, little girl...... As long as you practice hard, you will become a shadow-level powerhouse, as well as a qualified fifth-generation water shadow. It's just a matter of time for you. ”

Of course, in terms of effect, the leader's words are undoubtedly quite effective...... After all, under the successive events like a god, even in the bottom of Zhaomei's heart, no matter how unwilling to admit it. But she can't erase it, at this moment, she is convinced of every word said by the person in front of her!

“…… Hey, at this time, I'm pretending to be an elder...... Small...... Little girl or something...... Judging by your size, you don't necessarily have much older than me......"

It is precisely because of this that after Zhaomei Ming was slightly stunned, her already somewhat reddened face suddenly became red in an instant under the slightly intimate actions of the person. And then muttered and whispered stubbornly, regaining confidence. While trying to maintain the clarity of his own sanity, he thought back thoughtfully.

"However, when I reach the shadow level, I will be able to start moving...... Speaking of which, can I understand that the brainwashing methods of the mastermind behind the scenes are ineffective against the shadow-level powerhouses? ”

"Huh? Congratulations, you got ......! As much as I'd love to say that, it's impossible. After all, I can't give a 100% sure answer to the extent of the other party's manipulation. Moreover, if it was really ineffective against the shadow-level powerhouse, the current four generations of Mizukage would probably have taken it upon himself to clean him up, right? ”

After hearing that Zhao Meiming's speculation seemed reasonable, the leader deliberately lengthened his tone a little, but in the next second, the words took a sharp turn and poured cold water on Zhao Meiming. Then he shrugged his shoulders quite innocently, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he continued unhurriedly.

"However, one thing I can be sure of - even if the mastermind behind the scenes has some special brainwashing and manipulation ability. But this ability will eventually have a limit within its reach. ”

"In other words, only when you, as the leader of the new generation, reach the strength level of a shadow-level powerhouse. Only then can you gain the power of self-preservation, and at the same time, have enough chips to go head-to-head with the main messenger behind the scenes! ”

"And when that moment comes, it's you...... No, it's the best moment for the entire Fog Hidden Village to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the main messenger behind the scenes! ”
