After dozens of seconds, the rustling sound of writing in the office finally stopped.
Benizuki finally raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.
In his lavender eyes, he reflected the figure of the female member of the Shadow Guard, who was bending over and holding a document in her hand, motionless.
Benizuki's left index finger, wearing a leather glove, moved slightly.
The document in the woman's hand was immediately dragged in front of her by an invisible object.
Benizuki flipped through the pile of things in his hands, and he sighed softly:
"As expected, nothing could be gained. It seems what Rikuya said was true. The third generation was most likely killed and hidden by the murderer."
Hearing Benizuki's sigh.
The woman, who was still half bent over, froze.
His pupils shrank involuntarily and his heartbeat started to speed up.
Although the woman had a vague suspicion in her mind when she received the order this morning.
But like everyone else, he didn't want to believe it.
Instead, they prefer to deceive themselves.
He kept telling himself in his heart that the Third Kazekage was probably just acting out of character.
It doesn't make sense that he would just go out to play without telling anyone.
But when he really heard what Benizuki said.
He was really starting to understand.
Three generations have truly been killed.
Benizuki quickly flipped through the documents in his hand, put them aside, and said softly:
"Le Man, go and inform all the Shadow Guard teams who are searching for the Third Kazekage outside the village, and ask them to immediately stop the search and rush back to the village to wait."
Hearing this, Le Man just nodded mechanically.
He only felt that his neck, which used to be very flexible, had now become very stiff.
The Third Kazekage was truly killed under mysterious circumstances.
What will happen to the fate of the village?
Even if Le Man just thought about it, he felt suffocated.
In the eyes of the residents of Sunagakure Village and the middle and low-ranking ninjas.
Kazekage is the sky of Sunagakure Village.
And in the eyes of the people, the strongest Third Kazekage was the sky and the sun that would never fall.
This day supports their souls and protects them from all storms.
This sun gave them the confidence to continue living in the poor and harsh Sunagakure Village.
Benizuki noticed Le Man's stiff footsteps.
He sighed softly, but didn't mean to say anything.
Because the ninja world is very cruel.
Accidents can happen at any time.
Benizuki retracted his gaze and was about to continue processing the documents, but suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked around him in confusion.
Benizuki looked around but didn't notice anything.
He shook his head in confusion, and suddenly a strong feeling arose in his heart. This inner feeling made him speak subconsciously:
"It would be a good idea if Rikuya became our direct superior as the Fourth Kazekage."
Le Man, who was walking slowly towards the door, suddenly stopped when he heard Benizuki's shout.
Le Man quickly recalled the first words Vice Commander Benizuki had spoken.
Then think about what he said now.
Le Man's brain, which was not stupid, quickly figured out the general situation.
His desperate eyes shone again.
Then Le Man's steps became light again and he walked quickly towards the door.
Even though the sky of Sunagakure Village has collapsed.
But now it seems there is a new sky dawning again!
Benizuki didn't notice Le Man's change. He was just surprised by what he said. After he thought about it, he laughed at himself:
"Although I didn't communicate much with Rikuya, it's a shame that a man of courage and vision like him lost to Aoki."
After saying that, Benizuki slowly stood up and walked towards the bookshelf next to him, apparently looking for something.
But not long after his hand stopped again.
Benizuki's beautiful face hidden behind the rabbit mask showed hesitation and shook her head:
"But I won't help either of them. I'll wait for them to fight fairly. What Sunagakure Village needs now is the strongest. If I help Rikuya, wouldn't that be..."
Before he could finish his words, Benizuki suddenly raised her head.
There was fanaticism in his eyes and he started searching without hesitation.
Benizuki was searching while muttering to himself:
"I was really stupid earlier. Rikuya is the most suitable person to lead Sunagakure Village. He is the only one who is most suitable to be the Fourth Kazekage!"
"Yes, I've decided after seeing his performance at the meeting earlier. Why am I this stupid now? I'm such a fool!"
Luckily, there was no one in this secret office right now, only Benizuki.
Otherwise, if the other Shadow Guard members saw or heard their usually unhurried, gentle and elegant vice commander do this...
You will definitely feel scared and even wonder if you are in some kind of illusion.
Currently, Rikuya has raised the average favorability of the eight people to 40 points.
He keeps changing fruits to increase his basic favorability.
Ten seconds later, Benizuki suddenly slapped his head and said loudly:
"Really? I was so slow when I did it alone. How come I forgot to summon my shadow clone earlier?"
"If this causes Rikuya-sama to read the information a few seconds later, it's my fault!"
"If I commit such a sin, even if I serve Rikuya-sama my entire life, I will never be able to atone for it!"
At this moment, Rikuya looked at the eight people in front of him and his favorability rating showed more than sixty.
He smiled with relief and continued to increase their liking.
Ten seconds later, after Benizuki summoned five shadow clones, he and the shadow clones around him clapped their hands simultaneously.
"Rikuya-sama is the savior of Sunagakure Village. Only he can become Kazekage!"
"I won't recognize anyone anymore! Even if the Third Kazekage suddenly returns!"
"Only by following Master Rikuya can we save Sunagakure Village from the brink of destruction!"
Rikuya prepared to increase the favorability rating of the eight people in front of him from 80 to 100.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.
This disrupts Rikuya's operations.
He pushed open the stone door curiously, looked at the ground, and began to think as he walked.
"That's weird. I'm in the basement now, and the sound is coming from the ground. Who's knocking so loudly on the door?"
The higher Rikuya stepped, the louder his voice became.
The moment Rikuya moved the floor tiles and appeared in the room, the sound was like a drum beat.
"I'm coming, don't knock too hard."
As Rikuya said.
The knocking on the door suddenly changed from dong! dong! dong! to dong...dong~dong.
When Rikuya opened the door, he found that the person standing before him was not the same as he expected.
He thought that the person who knocked on the door loudly must be a strong man with physical skills.
But unfortunately, what was in front of him was only a woman who was standing very gracefully, exactly like the best elementary school student in his previous life.
Even though the woman was wearing a black windbreaker and a rabbit mask.
But Rikuya could still tell from her large jacket that she must have a very good body shape.
And from the fact that her entire body was tightly wrapped, with only her beautiful neck and beautiful legs exposed, we could tell that her skin must be very good.
After observing her figure, Rikuya began to wonder why this beautiful woman from the Shadow Guard had come.
When he opened the door and saw his clothes.
Rikuya immediately concluded from Rasa's memories that this was a high-ranking member of the Wind Shadow Guard.
Without waiting for Rikuya to speak, the high-ranking member of the Wind Shadow Guard suddenly bowed deeply to Rikuya at a ninety-degree angle!
Rikuya's mouth opened slightly at the woman's deep ninety degree arch.
What is going on?
