As Karatachi Yagura gazed at the location of the three great ninja clans' strongholds, the leaders of the three great ninja clans also watched the departing Mist Ninja forces. In this conscription order, the three great ninja clans had all dispatched a corresponding number of elite clan members!

This is both a test and a trial!

At least from Minazuki Shun's perspective, this is the case, unlike the Hozuki Clan and Kaguya clans, whose ambitions have always been placed at the highest level.

Because of their own weakness (compared to the Hozuki Clan and Kaguya clans, the Yuki Clan Yuki Clan has always had a very pragmatic goal: to protect their own small territory.

To be honest, the Yuki Clan felt somewhat forced onto this conscription order, but they had to continue on this path 'voluntarily' because it was a decision made jointly by the three great ninja clans.

This is something that neither Minazuki Shun nor their Yuki no Minazuki Clan can refuse. Unless the Hozuki Clan and Kaguya Clan are truly determined to go all out, the Yuki Clan will definitely choose to protect themselves. For now, they can only grit their teeth and follow along!

"Sigh, I hope my decision was right. And to the young men of the clan, I wish you all good luck..."

Minazuki Shun placed his hands behind his back and sighed softly.

Previous thoughts also flashed through my mind.

Are geniuses important to a ninja clan? Of course they are, as it concerns the clan's succession. But they are not that important, because a genius who hasn't fully matured is still just a potential talent.

He couldn't really bring much benefit to the clan!

And more importantly, this isn't about gambling with the entire next generation of young people, just a small portion.

Is this the best choice or the worst choice?

Nobody can say for sure, nobody can be certain.

It can only be said that whatever choice you make, you must be prepared to bear the corresponding consequences. As long as the final gain outweighs the current effort, then it's all worthwhile. But what if it's the other way around?

Then we can only accept it silently.

Because there's no going back in this world!

No one can accurately predict the future.

Except God!

Others can only strive to achieve the outcome and future they desire, but they cannot truly be certain of or control that future.

Life is inherently a series of choices, leading us down different paths! (Tianlai Novel Network)

And it was precisely at this time that wave after wave of Mist Ninja troops set off towards the front lines.

The next day, when Qing came to work at the Mizukage Building, she belatedly realized that she had received the relevant information.

At first, Qing wasn't particularly concerned, only slightly interested, but later, when she saw Qi's name on the list of people leaving the village...

Qing's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

"Qi? Why? And in the Land of Rivers no less? Is it to confront the Sand Ninja directly!?"

Qing instinctively stood up.

He hurried to another office to find out what was going on.

It only lasted less than fifteen minutes.

Qing then obtained the information she wanted.

This order was issued because the Sand Ninja was too active in the area from the Land of Rivers to the Land of Tea. Although both the Land of Rivers and the Land of Tea are quite far from the Land of Water, the Land of Rivers, in particular, is closer to the area between the Land of Wind Mist Ninja the Land of Fire than to the front line between the Mist Village and the Sand Ninja Village. It should be considered the battleground between the Sand Ninja and the Konoha Ninja!

However, after the Land of Tea was forcefully brought under the influence of the Kirigakure.

The distance to the Land of Rivers is just across a strait. For ninjas, it's not exactly easy, but it's certainly not an insurmountable barrier. Karatachi Yagura, who aspires to extend his influence across the continent, naturally believes that he cannot afford to abandon the Land of Waves in the east, nor can he miss out on the Land of Rivers in the west!

This is a crucial stronghold for the Mist Ninja as they advance into the mainland!

What did you say?

Would it be better to land directly in the Land of Fire Land of Wind?

This is certainly an option, but generally speaking, wars between major powers are usually prioritized within the borders of smaller neighboring countries. This can help control the escalation of conflicts to some extent and serve as a testing ground for each other!

It's good to leave some room for maneuver between each other.

Although when the Five Great Nations really get into a fight, they usually don't care about this and will directly send elite troops to strike deep into the heart of the enemy's territory!

Ultimately, such a buffer zone is still needed in both the early and late stages of a war!

In today's tense atmosphere in the Shinobi World, it's perfectly normal for countries to engage in probing clashes within their smaller territories.

Therefore, from a general perspective, this is a very normal conscription order.

The only difference is that the people who were recruited were a little special.

'A force of nearly a thousand people, more than half of them are Kekkei Genkai ninjas from villages led by the Sannin Clans? Was Kei chosen by chance, or...?'

Qing walked out of his colleague's office with a solemn expression, silently thinking to himself.

When the three of them were promoted Chunin, everything seemed normal, but Ao couldn't help but feel a shadow hanging over his heart. This was because he still needed to lead the three of them as Genin, but it was different for the three who had been promoted to Chunin. The village could easily remove him, the Jonin who Jonin the team.

Indeed, subsequent developments followed the same pattern.

He's basically confined to handling internal affairs within the village now.

He considered seeking out Genji, or even directly approaching his own Fourth Mizukage, but the thought was quickly dismissed by Ao himself; it wasn't the right thing to do.

Ninjas are required to obey orders! Especially when it's a properly procedural and compliant order directly under the Mizukage!!

'Young Qi, all I can hope for is that you survive!'

Qing looked at the order in her hand, crushed it slightly with a little force, threw it into the trash can next to her, and sighed softly to herself.

This involves issues concerning the high-ranking officials of the Ninja Village.

Moreover, it involves a conflict between the Mizukage and the three great ninja clans.

There is no room for Qing to voice any objections now.

Anyone, when faced with the greater good of the village and absolute self-interest, must choose to yield. A genius?

Which ninja village doesn't have geniuses?

Which ninja village hasn't been betrayed by a genius?

Having weathered so many storms over the years, the Five Great Nations have long understood what the right approach is!

One person cannot be valued in terms of the interests of the entire ninja village!

Unless you can become as strong as the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, it's all in vain!
