Can have bad intentions

Kawai Qingyan snorted: "If the ancestor's state of mind is not stabilized, it will be easy to change. How can I explain to the tribe then? The right thing to do is to send him to the spirit realm to practice as soon as possible."

"That certainly makes sense..." Shiraishi Yoshihō sighed, "However, teleporting too frequently will certainly arouse the vigilance of the laws of heaven and earth. Let's follow the order of age and let the elders embark on the path of cultivation first."

Kawai Qingyan nodded slightly, and glanced at the ninjas who were still kneeling and waiting: "Now your identity is extraordinary, choose a few of them to be your protectors, and don't let them panic because of your mysterious disappearance."

Shiraishi Yoshijo pondered for a moment, walked towards the ninjas, and ordered, "Those with the level of jonin, step forward."

In an instant, more than a dozen jonin stepped forward. Shiraishi Yoshishiro selected six of them with outstanding looks, half male and half female, and ordered them to return to their respective families to report.

Kawai Qingyan asked with a little surprise: "You choose people based on appearance?"

"They are just responsible for running errands. Since they are not required to perform bodyguard duties, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to have people with ugly looks?" Shiraishi Yoshihura responded calmly.

The six jonin looked at each other and smiled helplessly. Shiraishi Yoshishige then asked their names to avoid confusion in the future.

"Kamigawa plain."

"Komatsukawa Torasuke."

"Kamikawa Omi."

"Fukuyama Tsuna."

"Nakamori Aika."

"Asano Yang."

Shiraishi Yoshishiro nodded in approval, then his eyes fell on the burly, masculine Torasuke, and he ordered, "You will be the captain of this team, and arrange for them to take turns following me, day and night."

After some discussion, Torasuke and Omi finally stayed and became two followers of Shiraishi Yoshijo. Afterwards, Shiraishi Yoshijo led them to the Spirit Shadow Tower that soared into the clouds, but Kawai Aonobu did not go with them.

On the way, Shiraishi Yoshijo chatted with the two and asked about the situation of the tribe they belonged to. Not long after, the three arrived in front of the Lingying Tower, leaving the two waiting outside, while Shiraishi Yoshijo walked into the Lingying Office in the Lingying Tower alone.

I knocked on the door gently, and a deep and powerful voice came: "Come in."

Shiraishi Yoshishiro opened the door and saw the Sandai Lingying sitting behind his desk. When he saw him come in, he was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face: "You're back."

As he spoke, the Sandaime put down the spiritual weapon pipe in his hand, stood up and walked towards Shiraishi Yoshiki.

Shiraishi Yoshijo always felt that Sandai's words seemed to have other implications, so he replied, "I just came back from the spirit world, and some matters delayed me."

"It's okay. There have been similar situations before. That time you disappeared for three whole days." Sandai smiled kindly and walked in front of Shiraishi Yoshishiro. "Come with me. I want to talk to you alone about something."

Shiraishi Yoshishige was filled with doubts, wondering why he had to leave Reikage's office to discuss things in private. However, he did not say much, but followed Sandai out of the office.

The Third Hokage led him to the top floor of the Spirit Shadow Tower. The view from here was wide, and one could see the entire view of Konoha Village. The two stood there quietly, without saying a word.

The Third Hokage was thinking about how to start the conversation, while Shiraishi Yoshijō was imagining the scene of Konoha Village after its destruction in his mind.

"Yicheng, what do you think of our village?" Sandai finally broke the silence.

Shiraishi Yoshijo rolled his eyes inwardly, but replied, "I have no special opinion of the village. This is where I was born and it is also my home."

The perfunctory words made Sandai frown. He sighed and said, "Are you still brooding over the past?"

"Hokage-sama, please don't say that. If people's minds could change so easily, I wouldn't be alone until now. This is the cruelty of reality."

Shiraishi Yoshishiro said nonchalantly: "What you are doing... Haha, if you continue like this, it will only aggravate the conflicts and darkness within the village."

The Sandaime turned his head and stared at Shiraishi Yoshishige with a firm look in his eyes: "You... Senior Sakumo once spoke highly of you, saying that you are a genius that is rare in a thousand years. It is not just referring to your attainments in ninjutsu, but also because your ability to see the essence of things is unmatched."

"Such talent is far superior to that of ordinary people, even I am ashamed of myself. If you were to become Hokage, how would you change this village?"

Shiraishi Yoshijo yawned, looking quite bored. "Even if I become the Hokage, this village will not change. The so-called system is something that makes people follow the established rules."

"The Hokage seems to be elected by the villagers, but in fact it is the result of the game between the major ninja clans. 'People are ruthless' may sound pleasant, but in Konoha, ordinary people are actually very easy to fool."

"Therefore, I have no interest in the position of Hokage, because in the eyes of the villagers, the Hokage is just a puppet controlled and manipulated by others."

After hearing Shiraishi Yoshishiro's answer, the third generation fell into a long silence.

With just a few words, he analyzed the crux of Konoha so thoroughly. Such talent is awe-inspiring.

Shiraishi Yoshishiro... is he really a genius as Sakumo said?

This word seems to be insufficient to describe his extraordinaryness.

Even if the deceased second-generation spirit shadow was reborn, he might not be able to subdue this young man.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself that it was not wise to be an enemy of such a person. Alas, he was really dragged into the abyss by Danzo...

"Yicheng, if I ask you to help change the current situation of the village, will you agree?" Sandai asked tentatively.

Shiraishi Yoshijo was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself, and said, "Hokage-sama, although I am surprised and deeply honored that you appointed me as the leader of the Jonin squad, we are obviously not like-minded people."

"That being said, didn't you just say this? This is the place you call home.
