Rem looked at Mery's stiff steps. She sighed silently, but didn't intend to say anything.

Because the world of ninja is so cruel.

Accidents can happen at any time.

Rem withdrew her gaze and was about to continue processing the documents, but suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked around in confusion.

Rem looked around but didn't notice anything.

She shook her head in confusion, and suddenly a strong feeling arose in her heart. This inner feeling made her speak out involuntarily.

"It seems like it would be a good thing if Rasa, as the Fourth Kazekage, could be our immediate superior."

Mery, who was walking slowly towards the door, suddenly stopped when she heard Rem's exclamation.

Mery quickly recalled the first words that Deputy Commander Rem said.

Then think about what she said now.

Mery's brain, which was not stupid, quickly figured out the general situation.

Her desperate eyes shone again. Then Mery's steps became light again and she walked quickly towards the door.

Although the sky of Sand Village has collapsed. But now it seems that there is a new sky rising again!

Rem did not notice Mery's change. She was just shocked by what she said. After she continued to think, she laughed at herself, "Although I haven't had much communication with Rasa, it's a pity that such a man of courage and vision would lose to Aoki."

Having said that, Rem slowly stood up and walked towards the bookshelf next to her, seeming to be looking for something.

But soon her hand stopped again.

Rem's beautiful face, which was hidden by the rabbit mask, showed hesitation and shook her head:

"But I should not help either of them. I should wait for them to fight fairly. What Sand Village needs now is the strongest. If I help Rasa, then wouldn't that be..."

Before she could finish her words, Rem suddenly raised her head.

There was fanaticism in her eyes and she began to search without hesitation.

Rem was searching while muttering to herself, "I was so stupid just now. Rasa is the most suitable person to lead the Sand Village. Only he is the most suitable to be the Fourth Kazekage!"

"Yes, I made up my mind after seeing his performance in the meeting. Why am I being so stupid now? I am so stupid!"

Fortunately, there is no one in this secret office now, only Rem. Otherwise, if other members of the Shadow Guard saw or heard their usually unhurried, gentle and elegant deputy commander do this...

They would definitely be scared and even wonder if they were under some kind of illusion.

At this time, Rasa had raised the average favorability of those eight people to 40 points.

He continued to exchange fruits to increase his basic favorability.

Ten seconds later, Rem suddenly slapped her head and said loudly, "Really? I'm so slow when I do this alone. How come I forgot to summon my shadow clone earlier?"

"If this causes Master Rasa to read the information a few seconds later, it will be my fault! If I commit such a sin, even if I serve Master Rasa for my whole life, I will never be able to atone for it!"

"Perfect!" At this time, Rasa looked at the eight women name in front of him and his favorability rating was over sixty.

He smiled with relief and continued to improve his favorability.

Ten or so seconds later, after Rem summoned five shadow clones, she and the shadow clones around her clapped their hands at the same time.

"Master Rasa is the savior of the Sand Village. Only he can be the Kazekage!"

"I won't recognize anyone else! Even if the Third Kazekage suddenly comes back!"

"Only by following Master Rasa can we save the Sand Village from the brink of destruction!"

Rasa was just about to raise the favorability of the eight people in front of him from eighty to one hundred.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.

This interrupted Rasa's operation.

He pushed open the stone door with curiosity, looked at the ground, and began to think as he walked up.

"That's weird. I'm in the basement now, and the sound is coming from the ground. Who is knocking on the door so loudly?" The higher Rasa went, the louder the sound became.

By the time Rasa moved the floor tiles and appeared in the room, the sound was already like beating a drum.

"I'm coming, don't knock so loudly."

As Rasa said this, the knocking sound on the door suddenly changed from high to low.

When Rasa opened the door, he found that the person standing in front of him was not who he expected.

He thought that the person knocking on the door so loudly must be a strong warrior with great physical strength.

But surprisingly, there was only a woman in front of him, standing properly, just like the best elementary school student in his previous life.

Although the woman was wearing a black windbreaker and a rabbit mask, Rasa could still tell from the wide windbreaker that she had an impressive figure.

Her entire body was tightly wrapped, with only her white and tender neck and delicate feet exposed, hinting at flawless skin.

After observing her figure, Rasa began to wonder why this beautiful lady from the Shadow Guard had come.

When he opened the door and saw her attire, Rasa immediately recognized from his memories that this was a high-ranking member of the Wind Shadow Guard.

Without waiting for Rasa to speak, the high-ranking member of the Wind Shadow Guard suddenly bowed deeply to Rasa at a ninety-degree angle!

Rasa opened his mouth slightly when he saw her bowing so deeply.

'What is going on?'

The Shadow Guard is only responsible to the Kazekage. They are the private guards directly under the command of the Kazekage.

Even ordinary members of the Shadow Guard only need to bend slightly when facing Elder Chiyo.

Moreover, Rasa saw from her actions just now that it seemed the woman intended to kneel down on both knees in salute!

But at the moment her knees bent, she seemed to remember something and forced herself to stop, instead changing to a deep bow.

Even if he might be the future Kazekage, that was just a possibility—nothing had been decided yet.

Besides, even if he truly became Kazekage, there was no need for the Shadow Guards to kneel on both knees when meeting him. At most, they would kneel on one knee.

After seeing the beautiful woman in front of him bow so deeply and remain in that position without moving or speaking, Rasa instantly felt something was odd.

He noticed the crowd around them growing. Many of the previously closed windows were now slightly ajar.

Behind those narrow cracks, curious eyes peered at him.

Seeing such a scene, Rasa, who disliked being the center of public attention, suddenly felt like a monkey on display.

His mouth twitched in irritation.

Looking at the woman who was oblivious to the discussions around her and remained bowed at a 90-degree angle like a statue, he gritted his teeth, suddenly grabbed her slender left hand—which was neatly placed on her waist—pulled her into the room, and shut the door!

The crowd outside continued to murmur about the incident.

Soon, rumors began circulating that Rasa was to be the next Kazekage.

After all, the Shadow Guard was a highly secretive force. Yet, the people of Sunagakure had lived here for decades.

And decades were enough for the existence of the Shadow Guard to no longer be a mystery.

However, news of the Third Kazekage's disappearance had not yet spread among the civilians and lower-ranking ninja.

Rasa closed the door and was about to turn around and say something when he suddenly heard a loud bang!

From the sound, Rasa immediately guessed what had happened.

Turning around, he found that his expectations were correct.

The woman was kneeling, her forehead pressed to the ground, her gloved hands tightly clenched against the floor in a display of deep reverence!

In a soft, firm, and faintly fanatical voice, she whispered.

"Deputy Commander of the Shadow Guard, Jonin Rem, pays her respects to Master Rasa."
