Konoha was changing. Under Mimi's influence, it had been changing constantly.

Whether it was the Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Aburame, Sarutobi, Shimura, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Inuzuka, or Kurama, these large Ninja Clans, numbering anywhere from several hundred to several thousand members, were undergoing changes in every aspect.

The Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, and Aburame formed one faction, while the Sarutobi, Shimura, Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi formed another. The Inuzuka and Kurama remained relatively neutral.

That was already old news. With Fourth Hokage Princess Tsunade about to take office, these Ninja Clans had begun another round of reshuffling and choosing sides.

There were twelve Ninja Clans in total.

They would likely become the backbone of Konoha's Twelve Strongest in the future.

With the addition of Ninja Clans from other villages, the situation in the village had become this: the Konoha Ninja Clan Faction, the Konoha Civilian Faction, and the Konoha Immigrant Faction.

There was no need to say much about the Ninja Clan Faction. At its core was the Future Hokage Faction, led by the four-person group headed by Mimi.

The new acting Clan Head had a very clear understanding of what mattered more and what mattered less.

He was so sensible that even Mimi felt embarrassed about secretly
