"What is wrong with that? He has perhaps not improved the land of fire but he has not worsened it either. Is that not also worthy of praise? Yes he is not a powerful warrior and yes he is not the best ruler but he is not the worst either. The position of Daimyo holds it's own struggles and burdens so while he is weak he is mighty in his own way as well." the old man said in a tone that brokered no arguments.

"I'll agree to disagree on this matter." I said flatly before turning to leave.

I am willing to admit when someone had a point but this was not a topic where you could just compromise. He had points that could be considered merits for his side of the argument but in my opinion were weak and frail excuses. The Daimyo hasn't made the land of fire worse, sure I can agree with that. But I also firmly believe that doesn't mean the man should be sitting on the throne either. A rulers job is to improve the lives of those they rule over, not just keep it stagnant and the same as always.-

As I said though I'd agree to disagree on this matter and not act on these thoughts. Some might consider me bellyaching about this yet doing nothing to be a stupid course of action but the fact of the matter is that I gain nothing for trying to implement change in this regard. Sure the land of fire would improve but why should I waste my time to accomplish this when I was already a single step away from being a hermit. Yes I am self aware enough to know that I am in fact very reclusive in nature.-

I don't go out of my way to socialize and even when I do it's with a very small amount of people while otherwise I stay far from anyone. Moving back to the topic of the Chunin exams I wasn't surprised to find that some people had in fact shacked up in my home. What did surprise me however was WHO had done so. It wasn't Naruto or Shino or Kiba's teams but rather the Kazekages children. Eavesdropping I found out an interesting piece of information from listening to them talk.-

"Not that I don't appreciate not having to rough it in the forest but why does this place even exist?" the girl, Temari, asked in confusion.

"It says that HE lives here." Gaara said quietly and the other boy, Kankuro, gasped.

"Why am I not surprised? Also how does that thing even know that anyways?" Temari asked curiously.

"Ah but that's where you'd be wrong, you see everyone currently here has set foot on their path to power so naturally I would come to size up my peers for the future. After all we may end up working together in the future." I said with a grin.

"A rather relaxed attitude for a shinobi don't you think?" Temari asked confrontationally.

"Not really, bluntly speaking there is only three people in this entire sparring hanger that could even come close to matching me and it's these two plus that woman right there." I said pointing at Might Guy, Kakashi and Kurenai.

"Rather arrogant of you to put yourself on the level of elites like them as a mere chunin." the blonde said mockingly.

"Is that right?" I said with a smirk before reaching over to the wall behind us and casually scooping out a handful of stone.

I rotated my hips and threw the stone as hard as I could at the ceiling overhead.

"BOOM!"

The air shook and howled like a wind release jutsu had been released in the building and the handful of stone impacted the ceiling and blew a massive hole through it as the force of the throw refused to be stopped.

"You know you'll have to pay for that right?" Kakashi asked with a chuckle while I froze.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
