Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Bai Mu gave a pointed reminder.

What did I do when I came back? I loved you to death and made you feel comfortable. Isn't that good enough? Esdeath and Alice Lise didn't even get this treatment!

Is this all you're not satisfied with?

"Alright, alright, forget it, forget it." Tsunade sighed and quickly left.

However, even though she withdrew, Esdeath still had objections, because Shiraki wanted her to cook, but did she even know how to cook? That would be like playing a completely unrelated game!

"I can't cook."

If you don't know something, then you should say you don't know it.

Esdeath never acts recklessly unless it involves battle or her own vital interests, and it's something she clearly cannot do herself. In that case, she should explain the situation.

In other situations, one would definitely try to argue and defend oneself.

However, this is something that we cannot strive for, nor can we do.

Because I really don't know how!

Upon hearing this, Bai Mu gave a heavy snort and said with a serious expression, "If you don't know how, then learn. Besides, I'm only asking you to supervise, not to do it yourself."

Do you think I don't know your skill level?

“You just want me to leave, and this is essentially for Eileen’s sake.” Esdeath saw it clearly and knew what Bai Mu’s true intentions were.

Isn't it just about me avoiding Eileen?

Essentially, it was all for Eileen.

"Nonsense." Bai Mu certainly wouldn't admit it, and even scolded, "Alright, go if you want, don't talk nonsense."

Although Esdeath was unwilling, she had already been reprimanded by Bai Mu, so what could she do? She could only retreat reluctantly, but before leaving, she glared at Irene and gave her a warning.

Of course, Eileen didn't care about her at all; you could say she completely ignored her, letting her do whatever she wanted, because she just didn't care...

Yes, they don't care what you do, no matter how much you jump around.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

After Esdeath left, Bai Mu looked at Alice Lise and gestured for her to continue.

"What do you want to know?" Alice Lizard knew that Bai Mu wanted to know about the development of Konoha in various aspects over the past year, but what exactly to say depended on what Bai Mu needed to know.

We can't report everything, can we?

That's a long and tedious story, so we need to focus on the key points.

"How is the internal stability?" Bai Mu pondered for a moment, deciding to prioritize stability. Although there would be no problem if he were there, he had been gone for a while, and he wondered if Konoha was still stable.

"Tsunade's reputation is still solid. Besides, although Konoha is internally complex, without people like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, Konoha is now..."

Alice Lise was utterly disdainful, clearly showing that she didn't take Konoha seriously.

Within Konoha, there are only a handful of factions capable of causing trouble.

After the removal of the original Konoha leadership, the biggest troublemaking faction was lost. The Uchiha clan was also the base of support for Hakubaku. The Security Department is currently expanding smoothly, recruiting a large number of civilian ninjas and sharing some of the pie with some ninja clans. It can be said that it has achieved the basic principle of ensuring that everyone has something to eat. Under such circumstances, stability is inevitable.

As for the other so-called major clan in Konoha—the Hyuga clan—they simply couldn't stand up to any real power. Moreover, during the riots that occurred after the Fourth Hokage took office, the Hyuga clan had a disgraceful side, and could even be considered the instigators. After some of the main family elders were dealt with, the Hyuga's strength declined further, and the conflict between the main family and the branch family became increasingly difficult to suppress.

Furthermore, Hiashi Hyuga is actually an even bigger softie, even worse than Fugaku Uchiha, at least in Alice Lizard's eyes. Therefore, she is well aware that Konoha is currently as stable as it gets.

Bai Mu sat down next to Eileen, lost in thought, and casually placed his hand on her leg.

This scene made Lislie Ze's eyebrows twitch.

It seems she really likes it!

Bai Mu said softly, "Indeed, no one can jump out and cause trouble... Oh, no, I can't say there's no one at all. Orochimaru has his own thoughts and values ​​his own interests. Don't be fooled by his docile appearance now; he's a venomous snake. If the situation turns out badly, or for some other reason, he'll probably start to have his own ideas."

"Orochimaru?"

Alice Lise dismissed it with a sneer and said coldly, "Even though it's a venomous snake, without enough power, it's meaningless."

What threats are there?

All I can say is that the threat is insufficient, there isn't enough power. A single venomous snake can't turn the world upside down; that's the reality, and there's no way to change it.

What kind of threat could it be?

It's not that I look down on him, but people like him really pose no threat.

"Apart from that, are there any other oversights?" Seeing this, Bai Mu did not delve into the matter further, but instead continued to ask.

..0 .......

Alice Lise pondered for a moment, carefully filtering through the options, but ultimately shook her head and said, "There shouldn't be any. Overall, Konoha's development is very good, whether in terms of stability, military, or economy."

"The development is very good..."

Bai Mu muttered to himself.

If that's the case, then there's no need to ask any more questions about internal matters.

Because he believed in Alice Lise's abilities, and since he believed, there was no need to say more. However, he didn't need to talk about internal issues, but he did need to talk about external ones.

Although Esdeath is in charge of the Anbu, there's not much she can actually do. It's Alice Lisse who handles the political affairs, and with Tsunade shirking her duties, she's the de facto Hokage.

She was in charge of affairs within Konoha, so naturally she knew more.

"Tell me, what's the situation in the ninja world right now? I learned some things from Esdeath. Have you made any arrangements regarding Kushina's matter?"

Although Bai Mu has made arrangements, it still depends on how the current high-ranking officials of Konoha make arrangements. Alice Lizard is the de facto representative of the high-ranking officials.

"According to the previous meeting, Minato Namikaze, as a family member, should definitely be present. Shikaku Nara suggested choosing a secluded location to ensure everything goes smoothly, but I think I need to ask your opinion, so I didn't agree to it. However, Minato Namikaze has been selected as the person to protect him."

Alice Lizard was speaking the truth; needing to know Bai Mu's opinion, she asked directly, "What do you mean now, Qian?"

Chapter 152 Are you crazy?

As soon as she asked the question, Alice Lizard hurriedly added, "Mainly because I know about Obito Uchiha's situation. Although it's impossible to be sure if there will be another one, my personal opinion is that we have to be on guard. We also need to find something for Obito Uchiha to do, so he won't keep acting crazy and wanting to take revenge on the world. Does he really think the world owes him something? Anyway, although his stronghold is hard to find, isn't this guy going to take revenge on Kirigakure like crazy? Let's start from Kirigakure. I don't believe we can't dig out Obito Uchiha!"

Impatient.

This is Alice Lise's weakness; she's really impatient when it comes to certain things. She doesn't even wait for Bai Mu's reply before offering her own suggestions, and she desperately hopes that Bai Mu will adopt them.

Even if she says she won't adopt it, she still has to say it. It doesn't matter to her; as long as she expresses her thoughts, that's enough.

Whether it succeeds or not is no longer important.

Bai Mu knew this, so he gave the answer.

"I will personally oversee Konoha Hospital."

Will he personally oversee the operation?

Do you take it so seriously?

Or is there another reason?

Upon learning this, Alice Lizard frowned and began to have different suspicions. She felt that Bai Mu had ulterior motives, and that he didn't just value Uchiha Obito...

Wait a minute, Obito Uchiha isn't worth Bai Mu's attention, so he has other plans.

"Do you have other motives?" Alice Lise had no choice but to ask directly.

You can't keep asking in a roundabout way, can you?

There's no need for that; it's better to be direct.

"No, it was just solving a minor problem. Well, it wasn't really a problem, just something I took care of on the side." Bai Mu meant that he was solving a trivial issue, nothing serious.

What is Obito Uchiha anyway?

It's just a minor problem, easily resolved. I went there only to ensure nothing went wrong and to get rid of this idiot as soon as possible, so he wouldn't continue to cause trouble and be a nuisance.

"Aren't you afraid of having no rivals?"

Alice Lise was very curious, so she had to find out.

"An opponent? What kind of opponent is that?" Bai Mu was extremely disdainful. This kind of clown was no opponent at all; he was just a clown.

"Alright, I don't object." Seeing this, Alice Lise knew she couldn't object, so she simply went along with Bai Mu's wishes. Besides, since he had said so, it meant he had made up his mind, so there was no point in objecting anymore.

Although she is more restrained and conservative compared to Esdeath's fighting spirit, Alice Lise is not the type to be afraid of trouble; on the contrary, she tends to solve problems in a simple way.

Bai Mu wants to reform and unify the ninja world, right? I think we can start a war to unify them gradually now. Let's just fight first and see what happens.

Based on this, she ignored the strange look Eileen was giving her and decisively said, "But then again, if we're not going to take the initiative, I don't think there's any need for us to stay here, right?"

"War, is it?"

Eileen hadn't said much, but now she couldn't help herself and blurted out a comment.

"You wouldn't be with that..." Alice Lise looked wary upon hearing this. Could she be like Esdeath?

Seeing Alice Lise's expression, Eileen knew that the other party had misunderstood, and immediately explained, "I am not like that crazy woman. I do not enjoy these things, nor do I like them. I am only acting based on Bai Mu's wishes."

"I understand, but that's not enough. I'd like to know what your abilities are?"

Although Alice Lise could tell that Eileen was no good person, she still didn't know her well enough and naturally had doubts about whether it was okay, so she had to ask the questions she needed to ask.

"ability?"

Eileen's smile was ambiguous. Thinking of Tsunade's appearance, she murmured, "Tsunade just now..."

Do you want to say it?

She had been keeping an eye on Bai Mu, waiting to see if he would give her a chance to speak.

"Speak up." Bai Mu meant that you should say what needs to be said, since we're all on the same side.

"I possess Dragon Slayer Magic, or more accurately, I created Dragon Slayer Magic. Most importantly, my additional magic is beyond your ability to counter, and I can also transform into a dragon. Your attacks are just tickles to me."

Eileen was very confident, even a little arrogant.

Alice Lise: "..."

No, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?

She disliked Irene's arrogant attitude; she was even more conceited than herself, and even Esdeath was not as arrogant as her.

Is she really that arrogant?

Eileen's arrogance displeased Alice Lise, who had to look at Bai Mu and complain, "I know you're arrogant, but aren't you just being too presumptuous?"
