"Of course, I will never let Mother down!"

Seeing this, Eileen frowned slightly, but urged, "Alright, go back and rest. Tomorrow you'll be living on your own, so don't be so fussy. You're my daughter, Eileen's daughter!"

Erza, after being told off by Irene, dared not say anything and obediently left the room.

After Erza left, Irene relaxed, abandoning her aloof demeanor and instead sitting lazily on the bed, her brows slightly furrowed: "Do you think Erza can handle it?"

"What do you say?"

Bai Mu did not answer, but instead asked a question.

"There are still some issues with her growth. Without experiencing trials and tribulations, she might not be resolute enough," Eileen murmured. Despite her seemingly strict attitude towards Erza, Erza had actually experienced very little hardship and had a very smooth life.

Everything has gone too smoothly for me; I haven't experienced any hardship at all.

"Do you really want her to suffer without any repercussions?" Bai Mu couldn't help but complain upon hearing this.

Since you haven't abandoned your daughter, then don't expect her to suffer. In the original story, you abandoned Erza and made her suffer, but now you're making your daughter suffer even though you haven't gone to her...

I said, is this reasonable?

Forcing yourself to endure hardship when it's not necessary is just plain stupid!

"Uh, cough cough, wasn't I doing this for her own good?" However, Eileen didn't think she had done anything wrong; in any case, this was the right thing to do.

For her own good?

Here it comes, the words that all parents can say, truly universal across all realms, a skill that every parent possesses.

“You don’t need to do that. Besides, Erza isn’t weak now. Makarov is a smart man and knows what to do. She also has Eve and Elsa to protect her. I don’t think Erza needs to suffer. She can just grow up normally.”

Bai Mu's meaning was clear: keep it simple, there's no need to make Erza suffer.

Because Erza doesn't need to suffer.

You insist on making her suffer...

Um, what's your mindset?

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Eileen knew that Bai Mu was right and had no choice but to give up the idea. Besides, she was going to leave temporarily and couldn't care less about anything else.

Then she asked about the important matter: "Are you leaving tomorrow, or tonight?"

"In such a hurry to leave, is it because you don't want to say goodbye to Erza tomorrow?" Bai Mu raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

“I don’t want to cry and whine. Erza hasn’t experienced anything yet. What if…” Eileen didn’t say it outright, but her meaning was clear.

"OK, no problem."

Bai Mu agreed.

……

Naruto World.

During the time that Bai Mu was away, the ninja world and Konoha were relatively stable, and his disappearance was a top secret, known only to Tsunade, Esdeath, and Alice Lisze.

Because of the presence of these three, Konoha could not possibly be in chaos. Within the Uchiha clan, Mina and Natsumi, these two right-hand women, were the absolute executors of Hakubaku's will.

Just do what you're supposed to do.

Before Bai Mu left, he had clearly given the order: your mission is to focus on the security department, and also to monitor some radical members of the family who are acting irrationally.

Among them, the remnants led by Uchiha Setsuna are still under surveillance and have not been released.

As for Fugaku Uchiha, he was just staying at home with nothing to do.

Therefore, some people within the clan will certainly gather under his command.

Over time, problems will naturally arise.

Furthermore, since Uchiha Shisui has already joined the Anbu, whether his mind is normal or not is no longer important. In any case, Tsunade will use him to the fullest extent of the law, using him whenever possible.

When you have a lot to do, you naturally won't overthink things.

Furthermore, Tsunade's status meant that Shisui Uchiha couldn't say anything. You say a coup? Wasn't that Tsunade's doing? What's wrong with my Uchiha clan supporting her?

This is the granddaughter of the first and second generation, more legitimate than Hiruzen Sarutobi. You can't say that Hiruzen Sarutobi is the legitimate one, can you?

With a mountain of problems to deal with, Uchiha Shisui naturally couldn't continue pursuing his dovish ideology.

Moreover, now because of Bai Mu's ruthless methods...

The doves, hawks, and even neutrals within the Uchiha clan all became loyal to the correct faction led by Hakubaki. Therefore, even if there were still some riffraff and remnants of the so-called Uchiha Madara's will who were unwilling to accept their fate, they were basically no longer a threat.

Besides, Uchiha Itachi is such a lunatic. Although he is still young, that's just his nature. So what if he doesn't have Hiruzen Sarutobi to guide him?

Isn't there some idiot in the ninja world guiding us?

Who is the number one idiot? That would be Xian Er.

That idiot Obito has now officially begun his operations, not only running around all over the ninja world, but also currently mainly moving back and forth between Kirigakure and Konoha.

Among them, Kirigakure is definitely the main target.

The reason? Needless to say, it's all for Nohara Rin.

So, while the ninja world appears calm on the surface, it is actually seething with undercurrents, and that idiot Obito Uchiha can't hold back any longer.

In order to retaliate against Kirigakure, they have already used the information from White Zetsu to prepare to control the Fourth Mizukage and disrupt Kirigakure.

The main reason is that the Fourth Mizukage himself gave him the opportunity, intending to become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

This information was uncovered by Black Zetsu.

When Obito found out, he naturally went insane.

He was determined to take revenge.

Even Hei Jue couldn't persuade him.

The problem is that Black Zetsu doesn't want to waste time on this at all, because a series of changes in Konoha after the end of the Ninja War have made him uneasy.

The way Konoha has handled this is completely different from the past. 3.4 Hiruzen Sarutobi, that old man, wouldn't be so ruthless, but the new Konoha leadership, led by Tsunade, is really going all out to kill.

If we've been defeated, then let's accept our fate of being slaughtered!

After more than a month of negotiations, the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Leaf Village finally signed a ceasefire agreement. After Black Zetsu understood the specific details, he was truly stunned.

The reason is simple: Konoha's methods are too ruthless.

Sunagakure fared better, only demanding war reparations and signing a strategic alliance, but this has already put Sunagakure in a passive position.

But they've already lost, so they can't be forced to accept other conditions, can they? Although the alliance is currently led by Konoha, at least the losses aren't huge. Just look at the Hidden Cloud Village next door.

Well, that really means losing everything, even their pants.

Chapter 143 Black Zetsu, Get Your Place Right!

The losses suffered by the Hidden Cloud Village were enormous.

The village's secret techniques and ninjutsu were forced to be handed over, and even the Two-Tails Jinchuriki became Konoha's. In the end, they still couldn't get it back.

Furthermore, regarding the important business of ninja missions, half of the mission share was forcibly taken by Konoha. Some domestic mining and fishing industries were also taken away, and money had to be paid to Konoha to obtain development rights.

The key issue is that after you obtain these development and usage rights, you still need to pay certain fees, such as maintenance and management fees. Anyway, with all this mess, the Hidden Cloud Village suffers the greatest losses.

The key issue is that the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning is very dissatisfied with the signing of this ceasefire agreement and has already put pressure on the Hidden Cloud Village. The Hidden Cloud Village is now practically useless and it will probably take at least ten or twenty years to recover.

Even if there is time to develop, given the current losses, there is still little hope. It can truly be described as a devastating blow and a complete defeat.

Of course, none of this matters to Black Zetsu.

The key issue is that the Hidden Cloud Village lost the Two-Tails, along with the Tailed Beast and its Jinchuriki, who fell into the hands of the Leaf Village. Considering White Horse's strength and Tsunade's display of Wood Release, Black Zetsu is already very uneasy.

The 18th change was the one he disliked the most.

Although Black Zetsu had confidence in Madara Uchiha, he simply couldn't see through Bai Mu. This guy was too mysterious, and more importantly, he had capable people around him. Esdeath and Alice Lizard's origins were mysterious, and he simply couldn't understand them.

The key point is that Esdeath and Alice Lise have no chakra, but their power is by no means weak, and even frightens him.

Black Zetsu was very uneasy. He had been lurking for a thousand years, constantly causing trouble. What hadn't he seen?

But this was the first time I'd ever seen something like this; it was completely out of my control.

This undoubtedly frightened Black Zetsu. He feared that he would no longer be able to control the script, that his plans would be ruined, and that his millennia-long scheme would be destroyed in an instant.

Even if he could wait longer, it would be difficult to find another outstanding talent like Uchiha Madara.

Among the reincarnations of Indra, Madara Uchiha's talent was indeed unique.

The key point is that he is the only one who has awakened the Rinnegan.

Do you dare say there will be another Madara Uchiha?

Black Zetsu dared not gamble, so he had to ensure things went smoothly. But the problem was that Konoha had changed too much and was showing enormous ambition.

It is clearly no longer the Konoha under the rule of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Now, under Tsunade's rule, Konoha has become extremely proactive, ambitious, and eager to make its mark.

Furthermore, while others might not know about the matter of the Fire Country's Daimyo, or only suspect that there was something going on, Black Zetsu knew that it was orchestrated by Konoha, or rather, that it was Whitebeard's doing.

I've been keeping an eye on Hiruko, and I've had White Zetsu keep an eye on him to see if he can be used as a pawn. So why did he go and kill the daimyo of the Land of Fire?

That's impossible. So Black has gained a deeper understanding of White Shepherd's ruthlessness and cunning once again.

Even Danzo wouldn't do something like that... oh, no, I mean, he wouldn't be that ruthless or cunning, but he didn't have the brains, and he certainly wouldn't dare to do that to a daimyo.

He's ruthless and dark-skinned, but he's brainless, cowardly, and doesn't dare to do anything.

He's just a weak coward. He looks fierce, but most of the time he just tarnishes Konoha's reputation, brings trouble and enemies, and doesn't actually do anything positive.

Therefore, as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group are around, Konoha will remain unchanged, lifeless, and plagued by frequent internal strife.

But without those people, and with Tsunade and Hakumu in charge, the place became vibrant, highly proactive, and united against external threats—a completely different story.

Obito was just a complete idiot, easier to fool than Madara Uchiha, but that very ease of being fooled was the problem.

What's more, this guy's head is full of that woman, Nohara Rin; it's really disgusting.

He went berserk in Kirigakure, trying to control the Fourth Mizukage.

That's fine, but you can't ignore Konoha.

The key is what your actions are.
