The Ruthless Ones Arrive in Waves

Each had their own thoughts.

Each had their own schemes, the Land of Water Daimyo and his sons.

This was a universal truth in any world.

The grasp of supreme power.

Often gave rise to the most ruthless of families.

Especially here in the Land of Water, a nation plagued by the most slaughter and rebellion, where familial affection within the supreme family was as fragile and laughable as paper. The outside world believed that Asada Masashi favored his third son the most, even entrusting him with important domestic affairs and authority, making his preference self-evident. But that was merely the perception of the common folk!

And what was the reality?

Only Asada Masashi himself knew.

Including Asada Kei, Asada Kaze, and the other sons and daughters of the Daimyo.

They could never truly see through their father.

As mentioned before, anyone who could defeat all competitors of their generation to eventually ascend to the position of Daimyo was absolutely a profound and terrifying existence. If one truly viewed the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations as fools, then that person was the biggest fool of all!

The inner workings of the Asada Clan.

The relationship between the Daimyo and his sons.

Was far less simple than it appeared from the outside.

And Naruto, having arrived at the capital of the Land of Water, felt this deeply after that peculiar meeting.

But Naruto had no intention of involving himself.

Their internal strife.

Was something Naruto was more than happy to see.

If it could also tie up the vast majority of Kirigakure's energy.

That would be an even better thing.

Because that meant Naruto could search for the Three-Tails and Six-Tails Jinchuriki with greater ease!

Fight!

Struggle!

The more intense, the better!

As long as it didn't affect him.
