"Ah, thank you for your hard work."

Shiraishi put down the Death Soul Gun in his hand.

When Yi Ji was about to leave, he gave another instruction:

"By the way, if you don't know which direction to practice next, you can ask your mother for help. She should have this skill. However, if it is your mother, the training may be very hard."

Shiraishi seemed to recall the days when Liuli forced him to practice day and night more than twenty years ago.

"It's the best. Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, crying won't happen."

Yi Ji snorted softly and walked out of the laboratory without looking back.

"When the children grow older, it becomes very troublesome to manage them."

Watching Yi Ji leave, Shiraishi shook his head slightly, sat back in front of the computer, and began to enter data.

"Teacher Shiraishi, I'm back."

About half an hour after Kazuki left, Nohara Rin walked in from outside.

Because he is well maintained, he is obviously the same age as Kakashi, but his age reflected in his appearance is still that of a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old.

As soon as she came in, she greeted Shiraishi with a bit of dust, then walked aside, picked up her white work clothes and put it on as a coat.

"What, is the date over?"

Shiraishi had almost finished recording the information on the reincarnation technique. The swivel chair under him turned slightly and faced Lin who was walking over.

"His Royal Highness Xiaoxue's new movie is very good. I understand why the economy of the Kingdom of Snow has been growing rapidly in recent years."

Although there is no way to compare with the economic growth of the Ghost Country region, it is obviously far ahead of the Youzhi Country and Bear Country regions.

Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help but admire Fenghua Xiaoxue, a famous figure in the Land of Snow.

"If you want an autograph next time, you can tell me."

Shiraishi also smiled rarely, as if he was proud of this.

"I remember, Mr. Shiraishi, weren't you quite opposed to Your Highness Xiaoxue becoming an actor?"

Lin looked at Shiraishi strangely.

"There is no such thing. I just think that Xiaoxue uses her free time at work to develop her spare time interests, which is beneficial to her physical and mental health. Isn't that what it is?"

Shiraishi took a sip of tea tactically.

Lin was speechless. She remembered that Baishi didn't say that at the time, and she was depressed about it for a long time.

But this is understandable.

To be an artist who often appears outside without giving up a good reputation will indeed make people worry about the future of Snow Country.

Shiraishi's worries were not groundless.

But now Shiraishi is more like an elderly father who cares about whether his children will grow up healthily.

Teacher Shiraishi is also old. Lin was suddenly startled by her own thoughts.

The old father thing is still a bit too exaggerated.

The other party is less than forty years old and is in the prime of his life.

Even his potential as a ninja has not yet reached its peak, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

In addition, as a medical ninja, Shiraishi has taken great care of his body since he was a child. In recent years, his married life has been very harmonious and happy. It is estimated that the prime of life will last longer than that of ordinary ninjas.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You and Obito are not young anymore. Have you considered when to get married?"

Shiraishi asked.

"This matter... I will be very busy with work this year. If I get married, I can do it next year or the year after. But, I would rather Kakashi come to my wedding with Obito, so I have been putting it off these years.

"

Lin let out a sigh of regret.

She doesn't know what her feelings for Obito are. Is it gratitude after regaining her life, or guilt?

However, she didn't feel any rejection in her heart about marrying Obito.

Thinking about it this way, marrying a man you don't hate is not a bad thing.

After all, Obito, who has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, is also a stock with great potential.

From the perspective of investment and financial management, it is not considered a loss.

If you really want to live together in the future, you definitely can't just talk about emotions and the like. All kinds of trivial things after marriage must also be taken into account.

Binding yourself to another person is not a small matter that can be decided lightly.

"If this is the case, in a short period of time, it seems that your marriage to Obito is completely out of the question. Kakashi has a heavy task. In fact, between him and Ichi, who will be my successor?

I’ve always been hesitant.”

Bai Shi sighed, with a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"It is too early to decide on the next successor so early. With your age, Mr. Shiraishi, you will be in power for at least ten years. I think it is understandable that the one in Konoha is anxious."

Lin tilted her head, feeling that it was too early for Shiraishi to consider this matter.

"The Sandaime? He is indeed about to abdicate. Even if he doesn't abdicate, Danzo is almost impatient to wait. I just don't know what Tsunade-sensei will choose when the time comes."

Shiraishi pondered.

"Tsunade-sama is a strong candidate for the Fifth Hokage. If we look at qualifications and age alone, there is no competitor in Konoha who can compare with her."

But in this case, Danzo Shimura, the leader of the root group, will definitely not be willing to accept it.

Judging from the other party's age, it is no longer time for the Fifth Hokage to abdicate naturally and let him take over as the Sixth Hokage.

"That's why this makes me embarrassed. After Kakashi gets the results, I'll try it myself. If it doesn't work, I'll have to give up on her."

A flash of determination flashed in Shiraishi's eyes.

When it comes to conflicts between countries, personal relationships must be cut off absolutely ruthlessly without any hesitation.

Because a slight hesitation on his part may cause countless ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts to make unnecessary sacrifices.

Lin was a little silent.

She could feel Shiraishi's inner determination.

As the leader of the Demon Country's military, he must be ruthless in this matter, and there must be no personal relationships.

It is undoubtedly sad to discuss personal relationships with a political figure when it involves the interests and positions of the country.

Lin was convinced of this.

Chiba Shiraishi and politicians are two different people, and they must be recognized separately.

"Before that, we must first prepare for the Joint Chuunin Examination. Mr. Shiraishi, have you confirmed the examiner for the Demon Country?"

The future development strategy of the Kingdom of Ghosts is not achieved overnight, but is promoted in multiple stages.

Thanks to the growing military and economic power of the Ghost Country, there is no need to act as cautiously as in the dormant period in the past.

Therefore, in terms of actions, the strategic layout seems much more crude and barbaric than before.

The Joint Chuunin Examination is a test for the other major powers.

Regardless of the potential of the new generation of ninjas in each country, some clues can also be seen from the relationship between countries.

"It hasn't been determined yet."

"How about letting Yiji take over? With her ability, she is qualified for such a job."

Lin suggested.

"From the perspective of deterrence, it is indeed a good method. But I don't want to be known as favoring my own family. I want to give others more opportunities for promotion. For the same reason, I don't plan to select the examiner from the ninja clan.

"

Shiraishi glanced at Lin and answered.

In fact, Shiraishi is not worried about Kazuki's promotion path.

Because Yiji's potential is outstanding enough, even if she doesn't pave the way for her, with the opponent's ability, it will only be a matter of time before she climbs to the top of the military.

Rather than cultivating a high-ranking military officer who will inevitably grow up, Shiraishi hopes to pass this joint chuunin exam to discover some pragmatic ninjas among the grassroots.

These are also important cornerstones and an indispensable part of building military stability.

Lin nodded clearly, not intending to adopt the principle of proximity, nor did she intend to select jounin from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans to serve as examiners.

The candidates for the examiner can only be selected from among the civilian class.

"There are now a total of 207 non-ninja representative jounin in the Kingdom of Oni, including special jounin. Among these people, you will always find one or two suitable jounin, so take your time.

"

Over the years, he has spared no effort to develop the military power of the Kingdom of Demons. He not only focuses on the ninja clan, but also has many jounin who have been promoted from the bottom. Among them, there are also some people with outstanding abilities.
