In the following decade or two, Konoha would continue to weaken under the leadership of the wise and mighty Third Hokage and the public-spirited Danzo Shimura. It would experience events such as Orochimaru's defection and the Uchiha clan extermination, destroying its own defenses and falling to a point where it was almost on par with the Sand Village, which was also at the bottom of the five great ninja villages under Rasa's leadership.
I truly wish the great Third Hokage could have governed Konoha forever!
"If this incident were to be exposed, the higher-ups in Konoha Village would surely become a laughingstock of the entire ninja world. However, Konoha will definitely be in a state of conservative defense and siege after this. After this negotiation, the ninja world's situation should enter a period of stability, and it won't be easy for us to make a fuss about this matter."
The Third Kazekage looked as if he deeply agreed.
He also felt that it was an extremely foolish thing for a Kage to suppress a war hero who had made great contributions in his own village, and even cause their death.
Such actions could only indicate that the Kage was unqualified as a leader and too weak, thus fearing that he couldn't control his subordinates.
As for the ability of the next generation of Sand Village Kage...
The Third Kazekage thought of his disciple, Rasa, and then looked at Qingshui.
The Fourth Kazekage should be born from these two.
Rasa had already been placed in the Anbu for training. Although he was not yet very satisfied, he still had the potential to become a powerful figure who could stand on his own in the future.
As for Qingshui...
His abilities should be fine. Considering his age, as long as he developed normally over the next few years, his strength should also be fine, and his training could begin to be put on the right track.
"Regarding White Fang's suicide, after Konoha's compensation arrives, we'll see if we can find a way to leak it to other ninja villages to cause more trouble for Konoha. As for ourselves, the next few years will definitely be a golden period for strength improvement, and we must focus all our efforts on development."
"I will allocate five hundred million ryo out of these two billion ryo to the Puppet Force as additional funding for this year, to cultivate new generations of Puppet Masters and develop new types of puppets."
The Third Kazekage paused, thought for a moment, and then took out an appointment letter from his drawer.
"The captain of the Fourth Division of the Puppet Force, Jonin Suna, lost an arm during the previous war and applied for retirement. I plan to transfer Ishido to the Fourth Division as captain, and you will take over the captain position of the Sixth Division."
The Third Kazekage began to write on the appointment letter.
Previously, Qingshui had just been promoted to Jonin, his qualifications were too shallow, and his prestige was insufficient. It was acceptable for him to serve as a vice-captain in a division, but serving as a full captain would definitely cause dissatisfaction among some personnel.
But now, with the merit of building the canal and shining brightly in the negotiations after this assassination, securing huge benefits for the Sand Hidden, no one would say anything in the face of such achievements.
"Thank you, Third Lord!"
Qingshui clasped his hands and received the appointment letter from the Third Kazekage.
The Fortune progress bar instantly pulled full, and then slowly advanced a small section in the next stage, reaching fourteen point three two percent.
With the experience from the previous two times, Qingshui did not immediately open a new world. Instead, he waited until the matters here were concluded before returning home and sitting cross-legged on the bed.
"Hoo..."
Qingshui let out a long breath.
After using the Transparent World to sense his surroundings and finding no abnormalities, he separated a wisp of consciousness and clicked on the panel.
A black vortex still emerged, pulling and absorbing the wisp of consciousness that Qingshui separated.
This time, Qingshui only frowned and let out a slight groan before enduring it.
His mental strength was now much stronger than before.
Suddenly, Qingshui frowned, and then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
The Fortune points had increased slightly.
And this was brought about by the Avatar's entry!
...
New World.
Several beams of pure sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, falling on the spacious and soft bed.
Qingshui lifted the pure white duvet and was first greeted by two bare, white bodies.
These were two beautiful, sexy blonde foreign women, who appeared to be twin sisters, sleeping soundly.
Qingshui got out of bed, pulled open the curtains, and looked outside through the floor-to-ceiling window.
A swimming pool, and a neat, open lawn.
Qingshui could clearly see several flagpoles, and through the perception of the Transparent World, he could also see the holes beneath the flagpoles.
This was a golf course.
Naked, Qingshui rubbed his temples and quickly organized the information received in his sea of consciousness.
After receiving a part of it, he clearly understood where he was.
This should be a world in the Marvel Universe. The world's direction was not yet very clear and required further investigation.
Clearwater, a member of the Osborn Corporation's Board of Directors, and also a doctoral student at Columbia University, owned 5.28% of the Osborn Corporation's shares, was quite wealthy, and owned a sports club called the New Yorkers, which had a football team, a rugby team, and a basketball team. However, for the original host, these were all casual pursuits, and these teams were basically in the second tier of their respective professional leagues.
A young billionaire whose total assets were in the billions!
He was so lucky this time! The starting point was so high, no wonder his Fortune increased a little as soon as he entered.
However, the original host actually considered himself a bit unlucky.
Thirty years ago, the young Norman Osborn took over the precarious Osborn enterprise after the death of his father, Amberson Osborn. At that time, the elder Mr. Water had a unique vision, believing that this young man could revive the Osborn Group, and gave Norman an investment, injecting capital into Osborn. In the end, Norman did not disappoint and revived Osborn.
After that, the elder Mr. Water also received generous rewards and entered the Osborn Group's Board of Directors. He finally passed away eight years ago, and Clearwater inherited his position.
At 17 years old, Clearwater successfully enrolled in Columbia University with a near-perfect GPA, an SAT score exceeding 1500, and recommendation letters from his high school teachers and Norman Osborn.
He didn't even need the plan to donate a building to the university he had prepared beforehand.
His academic performance during his time there wasn't top-tier, but it was still excellent. He majored in Physics Engineering, pursuing a direct master's and doctoral program after his bachelor's. However, shortly after obtaining his master's degree, his advisor, Bruce Banner, went missing during an experiment with the military.
He had even asked Norman for help, but it ultimately amounted to nothing. His doctoral advisor was temporarily changed to Norman Osborn.
Yes, Norman was not only a magnate but also a scientist who graduated from Columbia University and was qualified to mentor doctoral students.
He had actually been struggling with the idea of a "new world" for quite some time.
First, considering his grades, he likely wouldn't be writing about anime and movies with lower popularity.
Then, he agonized for a long time over "Hitori no Shita," "Jackie Chan Adventures," and Marvel. However, he had only finished the anime for "Hitori no Shita" and hadn't caught up on the manga, being unfamiliar with it after the Biyou Village arc. He had only completed half of "Jackie Chan Adventures." Thus, he could only choose Marvel, which he was more familiar with
