Although Mei Terumi had exaggerated, everyone deeply agreed.
Just look at the Third Hokage.
The Cloud Ninja had bullied him right to his face, yet he had only yielded. And what he had said to Kitahara Kaede earlier had merely been to secure a life-saving talisman for himself.
He was cowardly as hell.
Could anyone expect him to grow a spine?
No.
However, Kitahara Kaede had already left the ninja tool shop.
He did not even spare the Fourth Kazekage a glance.
He returned to his apartment.
Kitahara Kaede set aside a book he had brought back from the library, then opened a drawer and took out his diary.
Observing Kitahara Kaede? (^_-) Small Group
Hashirama Senju: Ah, he was writing in his diary again!
Hashirama Senju: His previous diary had shocked me tremendously.
This referred to how everyone had noticed that Kitahara Kaede was supporting Naruto, only to discover that... he was raising Naruto into a thug.
That was far too black-hearted.
So at the time... everyone had been quite shocked.
Tobirama Senju: Shocked +1
Minato Namikaze: Shocked +1
Minato Namikaze: +1
The members who had been there at the time all chimed in with complaints.
The new members did not quite understand, but this time, they would get to see what Kitahara Kaede wrote.
"July 10th. The Third Hokage gave me the mission of monitoring Otogakure and staying wary of Orochimaru."
"This mission seemed somewhat difficult.
"But Orochimaru took the initiative to come to me just now, so the target has become clear."
Observing Kitahara Kaede? (^_-) Small Group
????
Orochimaru had taken the initiative to approach him?
Everyone was rather confused.
They had been observing Kitahara Kaede all along, so where had Orochimaru been?
Just as everyone was thinking that, they saw Kitahara Kaede continue writing.
"Orochimaru disguised himself as the Kazekage. He must have replaced the Fourth Kazekage."
"That means he has gained control of the Sunagakure card."
"Sunagakure is still a garbage place."
"That is all."
One statement stirred up a thousand waves.
Hashirama Senju: Holy shit, so that Fourth Kazekage just now... was a fake?
Minato Namikaze: So that was Teacher Orochimaru...
Tobirama Senju: Even I was fooled.
Minato Namikaze: No wonder I thought that Kazekage's gaze felt strange... it was Orochimaru...
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: +1. I am shocked too. Was the Fourth Kazekage really that weak!? He got replaced just like that!
And just then.
[Today's three-hour observation of Kitahara Kaede is about to end.]
[As two members have repeatedly gone offline, a new member will be added.]
[Everyone, welcome the new member: Fourth Kazekage Rasa of Sunagakure.]
!!!!!
The small group instantly exploded.
Observing Kitahara Kaede? (^_-) Small Group
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Then.
[Everyone, welcome the new member: Fourth Kazekage Rasa of Sunagakure.]
[@Fourth Kazekage Rasa, say something and greet everyone.]
Fourth Kazekage Rasa: Is this how it works... Where is this place...
Fourth Kazekage Rasa: There are so many people.
Fourth Kazekage Rasa: Wait, is this the world after death? Damn Orochimaru! He used partnership negotiations as an excuse, then actually ambushed me!
Fourth Kazekage Rasa: Even in death, I will not let him go!
The others fell silent again.
Then... they seemed to confirm that this was indeed Rasa himself.
And they also confirmed that Fourth Kazekage Rasa really had been replaced by Orochimaru.
This replacement had been the bloody kind. It was not that Orochimaru had imprisoned the Fourth Kazekage or anything; he had killed him and taken his place.
Not only that.
Sunagakure's Elite Jonin, Baki, was currently with the fake Fourth Kazekage, Orochimaru... This meant...
The people of Sunagakure had not yet discovered that Orochimaru was a fake either.
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: So, Fourth Kazekage.
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: Let me interview you. How are you feeling right now?
Fourth Kazekage Rasa: Who are you?
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage.
Fourth Kazekage Rasa: The Fifth Mizukage... What do you want with me?
Fourth Kazekage Rasa: We already handed Pakura over to you. Now that you have just taken office, you cannot overturn the Fourth Mizukage's agreement!
Rasa's tone seemed to become somewhat forceful.
But.
...Everyone: ...
They had just condemned Rasa for sacrificing a Jonin from his own Sunagakure in exchange for peace, yet... now this was reality.
It had truly happened.
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: ...
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: Pakura of your Sunagakure truly was a good ninja.
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: Following you... was truly... such a pity!
Fourth Kazekage Rasa: What do you mean?
Rasa finally realized that something seemed wrong with this place.
The Fifth Mizukage should be alive, so this was not the world after death?
And at that moment.
[This is the Observing Kitahara Kaede? (^_-) Small Group.]
[Also known as the Myriad Realms Chat System. It allows communication between the dead and the living, transcending time and space.]
[Welcome Fourth Kazekage Rasa to the group chat.]
[Congratulations to Fourth Kazekage Rasa for receiving the special title—Worst Kazekage (Pseudo).]
[All right, Fourth Kazekage Rasa, welcome to this small group.]
[Do you understand your situation now?]
[You are already dead.]
The system notifications suddenly appeared.
After they appeared, everyone could see them.
The information revealed three things.
Rasa had officially become a group member, and then... he was dead.
Next... he had received a system title.
Those who had already received titles could tell that the system's titles seemed to correspond to certain traits of each group member.
For example.
Kakashi carried Obito's Sharingan, and the Sharingan constantly absorbed Chakra, leaving him short on mana.
Thus, he had received the title Minato Namikaze.
And although Hashirama Senju was the God of Shinobi, he was somewhat foolishly adorable, so he had received the title Hashirama Senju.
As for Mei Terumi, the Water Shadow, she had endured and laid low until she became the Water Shadow and liberated Kirigakure, missing her marriageable years in the process.
Thus, Unmarriageable Older Single Woman became her title.
By that logic.
In the system's evaluation, this Rasa... was garbage.
That was why he was called the Worst Kazekage.
Fourth Kazekage Rasa: Is that so... This place, then all these people now are...
Rasa began speaking, but the title had already been equipped.
Worst Kazekage (Pseudo): What kind of title is this?
Tobirama Senju: I think this title is quite accurate. It suits you well.
Hashirama Senju: I think so too.
Minato Namikaze: +1
Minato Namikaze: +1
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: +1
Honest Kisame: +1
Kisame joined the discussion as well. Although he called himself mute, he could still type +1.
He had his own values, and simply reading the messages in the group made him feel that... the Fourth Kazekage was rotten to the core.
The work he had done in the past involved ruthlessly eliminating comrades, while this Fourth Kazekage had directly handed his comrades over in exchange for peace...
They were both... people who needed to be reformed.
