This was also within Shiraishi's expectation, and at the same time, he was very satisfied with Kazuki's own judgment.

I believe that after learning the knowledge in the ninja school, the next step is to use the knowledge you have learned more efficiently, summarize it, and verify the extent of your abilities.

It can be said that this is a very rational judgment, not a mindless and arrogant one.

This is a good habit.

What Shiraishi is most worried about is that Kazuki will believe too much in his own power, which will lead to unnecessary arrogance.

Excessive arrogance can easily destroy a person.

Looking at it now, Yiji has not contracted these bad habits.

"In this case, which aspect do you think you should start to verify first?"

Shiraishi continued to ask.

It would be difficult for ordinary children to answer this kind of question, but since Yiji took the initiative to come to him, she must have already thought of a plan.

What he wants to do is not to stop Yiji, but to complete the shortcomings of Yiji's plan.

Don't shy away from relatives when promoting talents. Since Yiji has this talent, it can be said that it is perfect to become her successor.

At least in the next few decades, Shiraishi feels that he does not need to worry about having no successor.

"Ninja."

Yi Ji gave this answer.

Shiraishi didn't say anything, he just took a sip of tea calmly and stared at Ichiji's childish face carefully.

After a long time, Shiraishi said to Kazuki: "How about I send you to Kirigakure Village to be a transfer student?"

Since we want to study ninjas in practice, we cannot gain a broader perspective only in the Kingdom of Demons.

Ichiji, who has lived in the Kingdom of Ghosts for several years, already knows a lot about the situation in this country.

And under his deliberate guidance, he was involved in some of the secrets of the Ghost Country.

Therefore, placing the location of the practical investigation inside the Kingdom of Ghosts will not actually allow Kazuki to gain more perspective.

Only by going to a strange place can Yiji grow better.

Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you fight without danger.

A good leader cannot be achieved through brute strength alone.

It is necessary to examine a country's culture, system, people's livelihood, business, etc.

Yagura, the fourth generation Mizukage of Kirigakure Village, is an ally with him, so he can rest assured that Yagura will protect Kazuhime's safety if he lets Kazuhime go to the ninja school in Kirigakure Village.

Moreover, Kirigakure Village is now in a lively stage of revitalization, which is of great practical significance.

"Compared to Kirigakure, I want to go to Konoha. It is the origin of the one-country-one-village system and the first cornerstone of the Ninja Village era. Going there is more meaningful."

Yiji didn't seem to be joking in her answer.

Ikki's answer surprised Shiraishi. He frowned and seemed to be thinking about it.

"Besides, old man, you must have studied in that village in the past. I want to go there and see for myself."

"Konoha is not an alliance."

"I know, that's why the investigation is meaningful. Isn't it, old man?"

Shiraishi's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter, then relaxed soon.

"I understand, but I have to discuss this matter with your mother. I can't make the decision alone. Moreover, you need to take a special examination. If you cannot pass this examination, this matter will be dropped.

I will study quietly at the ninja school here."

"good."

Yi Ji readily agreed.

If you can't even handle the exams arranged by the old man, then it proves that you still have room to grow in this school.

"You want to send Ichihime to study in Konoha?"

In the wet bone forest, Shiraishi found Ruri, who was training several Uchiha ninjas, and told her about Ichiki.

Shiraishi nodded and said quite relaxedly: "This is Yi Ji's own idea. As a father, I can only support her as much as possible."

"How could she have such thoughts?"

Liuli asked strangely.

"She feels that the ninja school here has nothing for her to learn. Therefore, if she wants to further hone herself, she can only go out and see the bigger world."

From a father's point of view, Shiraishi didn't want Kazuto to leave his arms so soon.

But the daughter’s own opinions cannot be completely ignored.

As Yi Ji said, her potential has been determined at the DNA stage.

The ordinary education model has made her feel bored.

Here, she has lost room for growth.

Of course, this kind of growth space does not simply refer to strength, but a more comprehensive level. Yiji wants to exercise her abilities on a broader stage and broaden her understanding of the world.

The ninja village system originated in Konoha, the ninja school system, the ANBU system, etc., and the birthplace is also Konoha.

Even the current Demon Country Ninja School imitates Konoha's Ninja School in many aspects.

In this regard, Konoha is undoubtedly a pioneer.

Even if Konoha is beginning to weaken now, one cannot deny the excellence and merit of Konoha in the past.

Kazuhime chose this place as the target for practical investigation. It was definitely not a moment of enthusiasm, but after careful thinking, she decided to go to Konoha for practical investigation to verify the knowledge she had learned.

Baishi believed that Liuli would definitely understand what he said.

Sure enough, after listening to Shiraishi's insights, Liuli's reluctant expression relaxed.

"Since that's the case, I have no objection. However, Yiji's safety must be taken care of, and her identity must be properly resolved so that no one can see any flaws."

"Don't worry, I will make all the arrangements. There are people I have placed in the Konoha Ninja School... As for the identity issue, I will find Maitreya Miko to resolve it."

"It's up to you, as long as you have arrangements. How is Asuka doing? Are his grades still not good or bad?"

After talking about Yiji, Liuli paid attention to the flying bird.

Because she needed an heir, she originally chose the male Asuka to take her last name.

"The boy's grades still haven't improved much, although he has worked hard enough."

Shiraishi told the truth without hiding anything.

Liuli's face became dissatisfied.

Although she agrees with the concept of the supremacy of the strong, she still hopes that her son Asuka will become the next leader of the Uchiha clan of the Kingdom of Demons.

If Asuka continues to let things go like this, then she will have no choice but to make another choice.

Uchiha is not her private property, and Liuli has always been very clear about official and private matters.

"I will teach him personally when I go back later."

Liuli sighed.

Even though he knew that Asuka had limited potential as a ninja, Liuli didn't want to give up just yet.

"If you do this, it won't actually have much effect."

Shiraishi touched his chin and said.

"How to say?"

"Asuka doesn't seem to be very interested in becoming a ninja. I think he can be trained in other aspects. The child likes to play with various toys since he was a child and has a very simple curiosity about many things."

Moreover, his temperament does not seem to be the type that likes to fight and kill.

Shiraishi trusts his own judgment.

"you mean?"

"I will take him with me next year and train him one-on-one. Ninja is not the only way out. As for the successor..."

A smile appeared on Baishi's face, and he gently held Liuli in his arms, feeling the warmth and softness of her body.

"If we have another child, he might be an excellent heir. Do you want to do it?"

"Not serious."

Liuli rolled her eyes at him, broke away from Baishi's arm, and left quickly.

"This year the daimyo have given us extra support for Konoha. So far, the budget has increased by about 40% compared to the previous year."

In the conference room, the senior management headed by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered together and held regular meetings.
