Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

The sound of footsteps echoed clearly, and a figure walked slowly forward in the dim corridor.

The mist was barely visible, and it was far from the morning light, so even the crescent moon still had its mark.

"Tap, tap, tap—"

Not long after, another pair of even clearer footsteps were heard, following closely behind.

"The Fourth Generation."

"Mei Terumi? What's the matter?"

The footsteps in the corridor stopped at the same time, and the faint light shone through the window panes, casting two shadows along the wall.

The Mizukage-sama, who still looked like a teenager, turned around, but his expression was so calm that he seemed numb, not like a real person at all.

Even if you don't want to believe it, this face that is familiar to everyone in the village is now unfamiliar everywhere.

"Seeing that the three-tailed beast had lost control, I thought of asking the Fourth-Kai as soon as possible to see if he was alright. It seems that I was overthinking..."

There was a deep meaning in Mei Terumi's eyes and her voice was light, but one could almost hear the naked "unfriendly" tone.

But obviously the other party didn't notice anything.

"Don't worry, I will use the power of the tailed beast to redress the injustice.

"Since there are constant disputes outside the village, as a 'Kage' I cannot stay out of it. It is only a matter of time before I use the power of the tailed beasts to suppress the rebellion."

Suppression?

The joke came so suddenly that it fell into her ears before she had time to prepare. Mei Terumi couldn't help laughing, but there was no smile on her lips.

——These are definitely not words that the man named Yagura could say.

He snorted and asked, "How long do you plan to suppress it, Fourth Master?"

There are many cases of entire families rebelling within Kirigakure, and it is not uncommon for strong people to defect. It can be said that the country has long been surrounded by enemies.

"We abolished the old system earlier and followed the path. Now we are on the right track. If we hadn't changed our course and restarted the blood mist, how could we have come to this day?" Mei Terumi sneered.

Since the end of the Third World War, Kirigakure has been recuperating and gathering strength, especially after the Fourth Generation took office and abolished the blood mist, its power has recovered rapidly, and is even slightly better than before.

The prospect of prosperity was so inspiring that it won the trust of the entire village in just a few years.

But precisely because of this, when the absurd practice of "blood mist" reappeared again, no one questioned it.

The elders made the decision and everyone in the room was silent, not saying a word.

Many people believe that his unique vision must have profound meaning, but it is all due to his reliance on prestige!

"In comparison, I am more curious about why the Fourth-Kami made such a clumsy move. I don't think the former Karatachi Yagura would be so stupid."

After a brief silence, 'Yakura' slowly spoke: "...The authority that the Yuanshi elder has allowed to be controlled has given you something to rely on, Mei Terumi.

"It's not that you are short-sighted and ignorant, but being arrogant will do you no good in the future."

Hearing the sarcasm in the words, Mei Terumi sneered and her eyes gradually became cold.

"Arrogant? Lord Fourth, please tell me, who are you now?"

......

Across the glass windowsill in the corridor, in the darkness not far away, a pair of blood-red eyes was staring quietly at two of them.

"Are you back? Really quick." The masked man glanced behind him and a shadow slowly emerged.

“Unfortunately, that didn’t go as planned.”

The hoarse voice let out a few dry laughs, which almost tortured the eardrums.

"I have a good chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, but he is a 'ghost' after all, and his attainments in silent assassination techniques are really a headache. It will be useless to continue to fight him."

"That's it..."

The art of hiding in the fog is combined with sophisticated assassination techniques. If ordinary people do not have a way to disperse the fog, it is difficult for them to find an opportunity to attack.

The beheading sword also provides a certain ability for frontal combat. Even if you find an opportunity to counterattack, it is difficult to succeed in one strike, especially when you are trapped in the opponent's home court, it will be very difficult.

"But it just so happens... Kisame, you're back just in time."

His deep eyes looked in one direction and he murmured:

"Small fish and shrimp can run away, but the big fish in front of you must not be let go..."
