Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Page 156

Wuwei wiped away his cold sweat and continued to humbly lead the way... Uh, wait, I don't seem to know where I am. He froze on the spot. He was just thinking of leading the way, but this way doesn't seem to be easy to lead!

However, Bai Mu clearly did not need him to lead the way, because the whereabouts of Uzumaki Karin and her mother were obviously no secret to him.

Its location is as clear as a beacon, allowing one to perceive it perfectly.

Irene and Esdeath followed behind.

Seeing this, Wuwei thought there was nothing he could do.

Let's follow them.

"I said, am I useless?"

Esdeath, who was following behind, began to complain with some dissatisfaction. She had come to Kusagakure but had nothing to do, which seemed to be a little different from what she had imagined.

"That's it, don't overthink it, there will be plenty of opportunities."

Bai Mu casually replied to Esdeath and soon arrived in front of a house.

Susanoo reappeared and smashed the door open with a punch. Inside, Nanako Uzumaki hurriedly protected her newborn daughter.

Upon seeing the situation inside, Bai Mu frowned slightly and gave Esdeath a look, signaling her to handle it.

Eileen was clearly unhappy, mainly because she was too arrogant.

Since I'm not a good fit, it has to be you.

Chapter 198 Wuwei: I'd better just be a dog!

Esdeath: "???"

No, should I do it? Is that appropriate?

Clearly, she wasn't keen on dealing with this, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Does it have to be me?"

If it were me, this would obviously be inappropriate, but since Bai Mu had made such a request, she certainly couldn't object, so she could only go in.

However, Esdeath thought her smile was kind, but to Nanako Uzumaki, it was no less than the smile of a demon.

It was scary, really scary. She had to protect her daughter and quickly said, "Um... just tell me what you want, as long as you don't hurt my daughter, anything is fine."

Esdeath: “…”

No, what are you doing?

Am I that scary?

Don't talk nonsense to me, making me sound like I'm some kind of scary person. I'm clearly a good person!

Esdeath didn't see herself as a good person, but she wasn't a terrible one either. So why did this woman seem to think she was utterly wicked?

Furthermore, would I also harm your daughter?

That's just a baby, I wouldn't be that heartless!

"Listen, I am Kushina Uzumaki, the leader of the Konoha Anbu, right?" Esdeath suppressed her displeasure and tried her best to make her tone sound gentle.

There's no way around it, I'm on the verge of exploding. This Grass Village is really eating purple eggs, I have to freeze them!

"Konoha?"

Princess Kushina.

Nanako Uzumaki's reaction to Konoha was lukewarm, after all, Konoha, her ally, hadn't played its due role when the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed. But Kushina's name gave her a jolt, and she immediately took it seriously.

Other things can be ignored, but Kushina is truly unacceptable.

"Princess, how is she now?"

How is Kushina?

This is a very important question.

“She’s fine. She’s a Jonin of Konoha. She wants you clansmen to come home, and Konoha is your home,” Esdeath comforted her.

You can still say nice things.

As a general of the empire and its new emperor, she was undoubtedly skilled in political maneuvering, which is why she knew how to appease Nanako Uzumaki's emotions at that moment.

Just then, Wuwei spoke up at the opportune moment: "Hokage, I am deeply saddened by this matter. As a Jonin of Kusagakure, I take responsibility for this. You may make any requests for compensation or anything else."

After surviving, I ran away immediately.

I'd better go back to Hozuki Castle; it suits me better there.

As for Kusagakure, I don't care. Who cares? I don't care.

"You're a smart man," Bai Mu said calmly as he turned to look at him.

It must be said that compared to the leader of Kusagakure, Wuwei is indeed a smart man. Although he also has his ambitions, he is at least very intelligent for now.

Knowing it was impossible, I simply knelt down.

"Hokage's assistant, just tell me what to do." Wuwei knew all too well, so he honestly told me what to do, and I would absolutely obey.

What kind of lucrative opportunities are there to be made in Kusagakure?

The answer is that there's no more profit to be made, and the only other thing is this inaction; he's not a peaceful person. So, Kusagakure needs to replace him, but who?

Thinking about how he had killed almost all the high-ranking members of Kusagakure, he realized that he had wiped them out.

Excluding the group of Muwei, it seems that there are only a few people left in Kusagakure now... oh, just two: a Jonin and a Special Jonin.

Okay, there's no one left.

Not to mention the other ninjas in the village, they are just cannon fodder. Moreover, their combat power is completely inadequate, and they are basically just decorations. So, is the Hidden Grass Village still useful?

Whom should be supported?

This is clearly a problem.

Inaction? It's not a good thing.

This guy is kneeling before me and bowing his head in submission because he has no other choice. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so humble. So, the biggest problem is that this guy is restless after taking power.

Who do you think should be the new leader of Kusagakure?

Thinking it over, Bai Mu looked at Wuwei with a half-smile and asked the question.

Wuwei: "..."

How would I know?

It’s not me anyway.

He didn't know what Bai Mu meant by asking that question, whether it was a test or not, but he certainly didn't want to be a dog...

The key issue is that it could disappear at any time.

What's the point of being a leader like that? I'd rather go back to Ghost Lantern Castle and be my own lord. At least I feel much more at ease there.

"With the Hokage assisting you, I am not aware of this matter at the moment. Why don't you make the decision?"

I don't know what to do.

But I know I can't make that decision.

Since you can't make the decision, it's definitely up to you.

"Me, make the decision? Are you sure?" Bai Mu smiled slightly, looking at Wuwei.

A lot of pressure.

Wuwei simply couldn't withstand this pressure. Even though Bai Mu seemed to have done nothing, he had already put immense pressure on him.

This sense of oppression...

Outsiders simply don't understand.

Only those who have experienced it firsthand can understand.

In short, the situation was not optimistic. Wuwei quickly put on a fawning smile and said, "I'm sure, very sure. Only His Hokage can decide this matter..."

"Wrong, it's the Hokage assisting."

Bai Mu smiled and corrected the other person's mistake.

"Yes, yes, yes, Hokage's assistant." Wuwei secretly wiped away a cold sweat; it was truly terrifying, but at this moment, he had to agree repeatedly.

We can't win, we really can't win.

Now you should just behave like a dog.

"What are you planning to do? I don't like watching dogs." Eileen was already fed up and really disliked this scene.

"You and Esdeath take that mother and daughter back first, then come back later," Bai Mu waved his hand and said.

Wuwei completely ignored Eileen's words, since she wasn't talking about him anyway.

I am a dog, so this "looking at dogs" definitely doesn't refer to me.

It refers to the other people in Kusagakure.

"it is good."

Eileen hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed.

“Let’s go, Esdeath, take her with you,” Eileen said softly as she stepped inside.

"Can you do it?" Esdeath frowned and looked at Irene upon hearing this. She had already calmed Nanako down, but she was still puzzled by what Irene had said.

Are you really capable?

"I still know magic in this area." Eileen snapped her fingers, and a magic circle suddenly appeared beneath her feet, enveloping her, Esdeath, and Nanako Uzumaki.

"I'll be right back."

The moment she disappeared, Eileen's words followed.

"Kusagakure Village, I think you should take on the position of leader, what do you say?" Although Bai Mu didn't like inaction, this dog seemed very loyal at the moment.

"I am neither talented nor virtuous, and I am afraid I am not up to the task." Wuwei was unsure whether Bai Mu was testing him, so he chose to refuse tactfully.

I can't do it!

How can someone who has no talent and no morals be a leader?
