"Ning Ci, just say it clearly, what exactly do you want?" San Dai's emotions had stabilized after a short rest, and he looked at Ning Ci and asked.

  "The situation in Konohagakure has already been explained, I never believed from the start that you would be the kind of person who would trade the lives of villagers for a fake peace. The situation with Konoha is also easily resolved, don't you think? The Hokage's authority isn't the greatest in Konoha, perhaps you don't think so, but if we were to switch to the next generation of Hokage, he would definitely think so!" Neji said calmly.

  After a moment of contemplation, he sat down in his chair and raised his head to say: "Ning Ci, are you referring to the Council of Elders?"

  "That's right, those old guys' brains have already ossified, many things are their doing this and that, even your arch-nemesis Danzo is hiding under their support, stirring up trouble in the village. And you, the Third Hokage, the most popular Sarutobi in history, they even dare to defy you, what about the next generation? Is the future of Konoha going to rely on the Hokage or those old fossils?" Ning asked sharply.

  For a moment, all three of them fell silent.

  "Ning Ci, you mean to abolish the Elder Council? That approach also has its drawbacks!" San Dai took two deep puffs on his pipe and said hesitantly. Hinata Hiashi and Jiraiya beside him nodded in agreement.

  "The Council of Elders doesn't need to be abolished, but it needs to be reorganized. The Council truly needs people like you, with high moral character and a kind heart, to take on the role. The village can publicly elect its elders, and they cannot possess military power. However, if more than half of the elders feel that the actions of the Hokage have greatly harmed Konoha, they can convene a public trial, and everything will be decided by the villagers!" Ningci expressed his thoughts.

  Three generations of faces are uncertain, obviously considering Ning's words.

  "And those old guys from the Council of Elders need to be dealt with, they've been causing trouble for years and who knows how many people they've hurt." Ning added another sentence, thinking about those detestable elders.

  After a while, looking at the three generations still hesitating, Ning sat down and coldly smiled: "Hokage-sama, actually my original idea wasn't like this. I can go assassinate them, kill those few who are also responsible for my father's death, but after seeing you, I changed my mind. I like Konoha, don't want it to become chaotic, that's why I said these things. If you disagree, I have no way out, nor will I coerce you. As for the hidden danger in Konoha, I'll also tell you. However..."

  Looking at the three generations who were concentrating and listening to their own words, Ning Ci coldly smiled and said, "However, I will kill all of the Elder Team. At that time, the impact and harm caused to Konoha will no longer be within my consideration!"

  Bang, San Dai was stunned for a moment, then picked up his pipe and puffed on it for a long time before speaking: "Ning Ci, let me think about this matter. What you said is a crucial thing for Mu Ye, I can't make a decision so easily."

  "Alright, Lord Hokage, we'll wait for three days, only three days!" Ning Ji nodded and said, "As for you, Lord Tsukikage, you should also consider this, it's the same, three days. If there's no response after three days, I'll take action. One more thing, the Uchiha clan is known as the strongest clan in the world, many people covet their bloodline, but they don't have any cursed seals, and nobody has ever heard of anyone obtaining the Uchiha bloodline. It's said that the Uchiha clan split from the Hyuga clan, you should think about these things carefully. That's all I have to say, see you in three days!" Ning Ji nodded at the three of them and walked out of the room.

  Three generations and a day old faced each other in the room, their faces all filled with solemnity.

  "Then I'll take my leave first, Lord Hokage!" said Teuchi with a low voice and walked out with heavy footsteps.

  "Since you've come, what should I do?" asked Sanzi with a somewhat unexpectedly weak tone, this disciple being one of the few people he could completely trust.

  "This kind of thing still needs you, old man, to decide personally. However, I think that group of people with Xiaochun teacher are indeed a bit too much. No matter what, I will support your decision!" Zilai's face was serious, and the mischievous smile was nowhere to be seen, as he replied in a low tone.

  "Well, I've grown old and have started to hesitate a bit. Maybe it's time for me to find someone to take over?" He said with some hesitation, looking at Sanada, "Sanada, Ning is a pretty good kid, isn't he?"

  He nodded in agreement, but in his heart he was cursing him. Not a shred of politeness, and yet some audacity! It's really a wonder that this little devil isn't detestable!

  Ning walked on the street, feeling much more relaxed. He had been hesitant for a long time, whether to leave this already decaying Wooden Leaf Village or stay here and change it according to his own ideas. Today, he finally got an answer. All choices were taught to San Dai, and he just needed to wait patiently!

  "Next time..."?

  Surprised, he looked at his wrist and the small butterfly's mark brightened up. Before long, the small butterfly flapped its wings and stood on Ning Ci's hand, looking spirited and refreshed, with a delicate and bright little face.

  "Little Butterfly, you've slept for a long time, several months in fact. You shouldn't have gone without rest since birth, should you?" Ning Ci looked at the little creature with a good mood, thanks to her, otherwise he would have probably lost to Yun Ying in that battle.

  "She hasn't slept since she was born!" Xiaodie said with some embarrassment, her white face flushing a layer of pink, looking especially enticing.

  "It's okay, don't worry anymore. From now on, being with me will be much safer, I'll take care of you." Ning Ci gently rubbed his face against Xiaodie's cheek.

  As they walked home, Little Butterfly sat on Ning Ci's shoulder, asking questions about everything she saw. Ning Ci was unusually patient and explained things to her one by one. Along the way, the lovely little butterfly attracted countless gazes.

  Training ground.

  Naruto looked at Kakashi standing in front of him and said to Sakura, "Something's weird today, Kakashi-sensei actually came looking for us, this is something that has never happened before! That lazy guy Kakashi-sensei, how could he waste his time reading porn magazines to come train us?!

  Sakura and Sasuke didn't say a word, but their eyes clearly showed that they agreed with Naruto's opinion.

  Kakashi looked at his three students, who were muttering to each other with strange expressions, and elegantly ignored them. "Well, the reason I called you all here today is to train you a bit, as it's my duty as your instructor. Today's training will be... tree climbing!"
