Judging from the information currently available...
If their clan leader wasn't talking nonsense, then the so-called 'others' are most likely Genji.
'But why was I chosen? Or was it simply a random selection from a group, as long as they were from the Yuki Clan? Am I just a useful pawn? Or is there some other purpose? But then...'
Qi Yue thought about it and became increasingly confused; there were just too many puzzling points.
Even after walking all the way to his own residence, Qi not only still couldn't figure things out, but his mind was filled with a whole host of questions.
'However, even if there really is some special reason behind it, what can I do? A pawn must still act like a pawn.'
Just as I pushed open my own door, about to step inside...
Qi paused again, a self-deprecating look appearing on his face.
Although there's a sense of resentment at being used as a pawn, to put it bluntly, being used as a pawn is actually something to be 'thankful' about, because at least it proves that you have corresponding value and function!
They're just worthless cannon fodder.
They won't even give you a second glance!
Unless one is a truly born expert, almost everyone who wants to become a master strategist with a comprehensive view of the game needs to start as a single piece!
so!
'I'm going to climb to the top of this world, step by step!'
Qi took a deep breath, a look of unwavering determination appearing in his eyes.
Different people will inevitably arrive at different judgments when looking at the same thing from different perspectives. As Kei and Minazuki Shun conversation, Ao's mission report was also coming to an end at the Mizukage Building.
After listening to Ao's detailed explanation, Karatachi Yagura, who was sitting in the main seat, showed a mature and thoughtful expression on his seemingly young face.
"Are you sure about this information, Qing? You need to understand that everything you say can influence the village's judgment."
After pondering for a short while...
The young Mizukage spirit leaned forward slightly, placed his hands crossed on the table, and looked at Qing with a very solemn expression.
An unexpected turn of events during a mission.
This isn't a big problem.
However, if it involves the tactical choices or even strategic arrangements of a ninja village, then it becomes a major issue that must be treated with utmost care!
The unsuccessful end of the Second Shinobi World War left the Five Great Shinobi Villages with pent-up frustration that had not been fully released. Sure enough, only three or four years later, the Shinobi World was once again filled with conflict. Since the second half of last year, the Sand Ninja Mist Ninja had been repeatedly engaging in fierce clashes with the Konoha Ninja in a region near the coast on the mainland.
Although the largest battles are only between one or two small teams.
But this is already a very clear signal!
The various ninja villages are barely able to contain their restless desire for war. Even Karatachi Yagura is somewhat eager to make his move. Having only been the Fourth Mizukage for three years, he, too, needs to establish his prestige through war.
However, the more this is the case, the more cautious one needs to be in making judgments.
While the Kirigakure isn't as emaciated as it was in the original story, it's not really strong enough to wage war on multiple fronts!
If Kumogakure is truly interested in Kirigakure, then Karatachi Yagura will have to readjust his strategic focus!
"Yes, Lord Mizukage, I will take responsibility for everything I said!"
Qing knelt on one knee on the ground, responding with an unprecedented seriousness.
As a Jonin, Ao had undergone numerous trials and tribulations and personally participated in the Second Shinobi World War. He naturally understood the weight of his words in such a situation!
Things like responsibility and awareness.
There's never a shortage of youth!
Moreover, this involves Kumogakure, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, which Ao considers a matter that requires serious attention!
"Alright, I understand. I will consider your suggestion. Also, remember to pass this information on to Genji!"
After giving Ao a deep look, Karatachi Yagura slowly nodded and said...
And the second half of that sentence.
Aoya, head bowed, was taken aback at first, but then replied, "Yes, I will obey the command of the Mizukage!"
Immediately afterwards.
With a wave of his hand from Karatachi Yagura, Qingyi leaped up and disappeared from the spot.
"Someone, go and fetch Juzo Biwa, Munashi Jinpachi, Suikazan Fuguki here!"
After sitting silently in his seat for a short while, Karatachi Yagura, his body now upright again, issued the command in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
In a shadowy corner of the office, a dark figure suddenly appeared, knelt on one knee in response, and then vanished into the darkness in a flash.
' Kumogakure? Konoha? It seems it's time to make a choice! I hope this time you villagers can make the right decision and not disappoint me!'
A cold expression, completely at odds with his outward appearance, appeared on Karatachi Yagura's face as he murmured to himself.
The changes in high-level strategy were known to only a dozen or so people in the entire Kirigakure, including the leaders of the three major ninja clans.
Upon hearing this, they realized it concerned the future strategic direction of the Kumogakure.
The high-ranking members of Kirigakure became tense. Although a considerable number of people in the Five Great Shinobi Villages longed for war, the vast majority of them did not want to see their own village be the first to take the lead!
The ninja village that breaks the balance first often doesn't gain any advantage in war; instead, it's more likely to suffer setbacks!
The Sunagakure of the past is the best example.
In both Shinobi World Wars, Sunagakure was either the first or the second village to participate, regardless of whether it was voluntary or involuntary.
Anyway, in the past major wars...
Sunagakure was always the first ninja village to join the war, and also the first to be defeated.
The fact that Sunagakure is the worst of the Five Great Shinobi Villages is inextricably linked to this.
War must be fought, but it must be fought selectively, and only when the odds of victory are in your favor. Not everyone is like that Shimura kid, who, under certain circumstances, still hopes for their own ninja village to be defeated.
Such an outrageous character design is truly unique in the vast Shinobi World. Therefore, upon seeing the possibility of the Cloud Ninja invading and causing a direct war, the three great ninja clans immediately stopped their disputes.
Now is the time to unite against a common enemy!
