And most importantly, he now has the basic ability to protect himself. There are only a very limited number of people in the Shinobi World who can kill him, and those who can kill him instantly are even fewer!
He no longer needs to be so timid and hesitant.
He had already made his voice heard in Kirigakure and within his own ninja clan.
This is also the time for him to make his voice heard, to gain more merit on the battlefield, and to gain the recognition of more people. This is the standard way for every strong person to rise to the top!
As a member of the Yuki Clan, his entry point naturally had to be within the clan. Although it was just a brief encounter and based on a previous meeting, Qi felt that this female Jonin from the clan was the most suitable person for him to 'win over' first.
"You see things very clearly, Qi Jun. But why don't you say these things to the clan leader and Elder Sogen?"
Fuka looked at Qi with a scrutinizing gaze and said.
"You have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time! I think that's the right way to do it!"
Qi did not answer directly, but after a slight pause, he said something pointed.
He did want to have a deep conversation with the clan leader and elders, but would they give him that opportunity?
A child who is not even nine years old?
The clan leader and elders must be crazy to agree with Qi Ping, right? Even if Qi's potential has been proven, certain hard conditions still cannot be changed.
So that's why you came to see me?
Qi did not explain it clearly or directly.
However, Fuka still sensed a hint of meaning in the words, and at that moment, she subconsciously revealed an expression of great interest.
Fuka truly hadn't expected Qi to be such a thoughtful person. Most importantly, what made him think he would listen to him?
Fuka was very curious about this and also cared about it.
However, on this point...
Fuka was wrong in her prediction. Qi didn't approach her with any well-thought-out plan; he just suddenly felt he had to take action, and Fuka was right there. Of all the Yuki Clan members dispatched to the Land of Rivers this time, Fuka was the only Jonin!
As the weakest of the three clans, their number of Jonin is only slightly over ten.
Assuming that Fuka is someone I can get to know.
Qi, of course, would not hesitate any longer.
Even if it doesn't succeed, there won't be any consequences, right?
"Yes, it's that simple, Fuka Sang. I've come for the future of our Yuki Clan. Our clan cannot delve any further into certain issues, otherwise, it could very well lead to consequences we cannot bear!"
Qi said quite frankly.
This isn't Qi deliberately saying anything 'high-sounding'; he genuinely has this concern.
If the relationship between the Yuki Clan and the village really becomes extremely tense...
Qi's background destined him to find himself in an even more awkward situation.
He's now going to interfere in some of the clan's strategic choices!
The clearer and more logical Qi's explanation became, the stranger Fuka's gaze grew. This was mainly due to Qi's age and appearance, which made it difficult to reconcile his words with reality.
However, Fuka is, after all, a person with rich experience.
He quickly adjusted his mindset.
"What exactly do you want to do, Qi Jun!"
This time, Fuka looked at Qi with utmost seriousness and asked softly.
"I hope we can Fuka a certain level of understanding!"
Qi smiled slightly, and spoke softly.
For some reason, Fuka's heart tightened involuntarily.
A biting, cold wind was blowing past the window.
The boy's tender voice echoed continuously from inside the window.
Time flows by slowly.
As darkness fell outside the window, night descended.
Inside the house, Qi's figure had long since disappeared, leaving only Minazuki Fuuka with a dazed expression.
"Nine years old? To call him a genius is an understatement; he's practically a prodigy! I wonder if this is a great fortune or a misfortune for our Yuki Clan!"
Minazuki Fuuka stood up.
Looking out at the deep night, she sighed softly, but a resolute glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Because no matter what the future holds.
At least for now, this heroine of the Yuki Clan has clearly made up her mind on what to do!
Qi, who had already left, could not possibly understand the complex feelings of his 'senior'. At this moment, he was feeling a little excited about the first step he had successfully taken in the family!
That's right!
In the conversation just now.
It's clear that Qi has already reached a certain understanding with Minazuki Fuuka.
Of course, he's not at the point where people would 'bow down' to him. Whether it's his strength, status, or age, Qi is far from qualified to have others follow him.
Even Kisame Mei Terumi, who usually greatly admire Kei, only supported him out of recognition and appreciation for a genius companion.
To talk about following!?
That's absolutely impossible!
As for Fuka, it goes without saying that at best, Qi persuaded Fuka to agree with his point of view.
However, for Qi, doing this much is enough!
Everything is followed.
It always starts with initial acceptance, doesn't it!?
'This step went relatively smoothly, now we just have to see what happens next!'
Qi looked up at the bright Shingetsu hanging in the night sky, feeling the unique chill of December. He took a deep breath and strode back to his room where he was resting.
The next day.
When the first rays of sunlight shine upon the earth in the early morning.
Within the stronghold.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Immediately, countless figures flew out, heading in three different directions: southwest, west, and northwest.
These are the Mist Ninja who were decided at yesterday's meeting to be dispatched to the front lines in the Land of Rivers.
They need to be deployed throughout the Land of Rivers to intercept the invading Sand Ninja at various levels.
That's right!
It means they've broken in!
In the eyes of the Mist Ninja, the Land of Rivers now belongs to their Kirigakure as 'property'!
The Sand Ninja Village were definitely invaders!
They are waging a war to protect the interests of their own ninja village!
Qi was among them.
Originally, Suikazan Fuguki didn't plan to send Kei out.
However, Qi himself applied voluntarily! (Tianlai Novel Network)
Now that he has decided to actively engage in the power struggle between the village and the clan, he needs to become stronger and gain prestige as quickly as possible!
And what could be faster than gaining merit on the battlefield!?
"Next, either I die here, or you all become my stepping stones!"
As Qi moved forward, a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
