From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 97 Let's cause a huge uproar!
"Grandma! Don't leave me!"

Mei Terumi cried out in surprise, waking up from her dream, tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes.

But when that cruel reality struck her eyes once again, the little girl's lips trembled, and she finally lowered her arms in silence.

It turns out that everything in the dream was fake!

Grandma is dead and can't come back. Everyone else is gone, and she's all alone now.

"Are you awake?"

Seeing that she had woken up, Uchiha Munetsuki asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

Mei Terumi remained silent, as if she had fallen into a state of self-isolation, and did not reply.

Her once bright and lovely eyes were now gray, as if she had lost all hope, staring blankly at an empty place.

This can't go on!
Uchiha Muneki frowned slightly, then activated his spiritual vision to observe the girl's mind.

Gray, silent, and hopeless, like a lifeless Dead Sea, devoid of any emotional fluctuations, the mind that should have been pure seemed to have faded.

If left unchecked, it will most likely continue to sink into depravity. Uchiha Munetsuki sighed softly, pinching his slightly furrowed brow.

Although he could refrain from meddling, the matter ultimately stemmed from him, and besides, Mei Terumi had done him a favor, so he should at least lend a hand.

"Are you going to remain silent like this, or are you going to pull yourself together and avenge your deceased loved ones?"

Uchiha Muneki subtly added a psychological suggestion to his words, which finally elicited a reaction from Terumi Mei, whose eyes seemed to light up slightly.

“I can give you two choices.” He paused slightly, and seeing Mei Terumi raise her head with a blank look in her eyes, he continued, “The first choice is to send you to a safe place, and then help you completely forget your hatred, so that you can live peacefully there from now on, without having to live in painful memories.”

Forget the hatred?

A deep sense of bewilderment appeared in Mei Terumi's eyes. She lowered her head, staring at her clenched fists, and murmured, "But can hatred really be forgotten?"

At that moment, the tragic image of her grandmother being tortured to death flashed through her mind.

Do not!
Why? !

Hatred should not be forgotten; it must be washed away with blood. Her heart was filled with hatred!
"I don't want to! I don't want to forget!"

Mei Terumi's eyes blazed with rage, the flames of hatred twisting her. Clenching her fists, she gritted her teeth and said, "I want revenge! I want revenge for Grandma!"

"But this road will be difficult."

Looking at the flames of hatred in the girl's eyes, Uchiha Muneki pushed up his glasses and said softly, "Are you really confident enough to step onto this blood-stained path of the ninja?"

Mei Terumi stood up straight, her gaze fixed straight ahead on him, without the slightest hint of retreat or fear in her eyes.

Silence speaks louder than words; perhaps a silent resolve is more powerful than a thousand promises.

"I understand your determination."

Uchiha Muneki nodded slightly and said, "In that case, come with me, Mei Terumi."

To everyone's surprise, Mei Terumi shook her head, bit her lip, and firmly refused him: "No, ninja brother, I want to stay in Kirigakure!"

"Hmm?" This was a bit unexpected. Uchiha Muneki raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "You want to stay in Kirigakure? Can you tell me why?"

"I want to change this country!" Mei Terumi seemed to have made up her mind, her eyes bright, and she said, word by word, "There are many people living here who, like us, are experiencing suffering. I want to change all of this. I don't want anyone else to suffer the same tragedy as me!"

If I don't say something shocking, I'll never rest until I've said it!

Who would have thought that such lofty aspirations would come from the mouth of a little girl?
"How do you plan to change things?" Uchiha Muneki was a little surprised, but considering that Mei Terumi was the future Mizukage, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.

"I I don't know"

Despite her grand pronouncements, Terumi Mei was at a loss when asked about the specifics of how to implement them.

"Then go and find it, in your own way."

Uchiha Muneki extended a finger and touched her forehead: "Since you've chosen to stay, I respect your decision."

Feeling a slight coolness between her brows, Mei Terumi touched her forehead and looked at him in confusion: "Ninja brother... what's this?"

"A gift."

Uchiha Muneki gently ruffled the girl's hair and smiled warmly, "This gift can help you integrate into Kirigakure better. I look forward to your performance."

Sensing a hint of parting in her words, Mei Terumi panicked, "Ninja brother, are you leaving?"

"Time is almost up, Mei Terumi."

Uchiha Muneki shook his head, then nodded, and said, "The one standing here is just a shadow clone of mine. It will soon run out of chakra and disappear. Since you have chosen to stay, this is all I can do to help you. The rest of the journey is up to you."

Mei Terumi lowered her head in disappointment, clutching her clothes tightly with her small hands: "Then... will I ever see you again?"

"OK."

Uchiha Muneki chuckled lightly and said meaningfully, "Although the paths are different, the destination is the same."

"Then, let's pinky swear!"

Suddenly, Mei Terumi raised her head, her reddened eyes brimming with tears, and pouted as she extended a little finger: "When we meet again, I will definitely become an excellent ninja, and then change the policies of Kirigakure so that everyone can live in an equal and safe country!"

The girl's clear, bright eyes made Uchiha Muneki smile. He reached out and hooked his little finger with hers: "Okay, let's make a promise. Next time we meet, Terumi Mei must become an excellent ninja."

"Make a pinky promise, and don't change it for a hundred years!"

"Ok?"

As they were walking, Uchiha Muneki suddenly stopped, a smile curving his lips.

"Lord Zongyue, what's wrong?" Bai Jue asked, puzzled, as he saw him stop and a head pop out of the ground.

"fine."

Uchiha Muneki shook his head, glanced back into the distance, and said softly, "I just suddenly thought of something interesting."

Bai Jue scratched his head, indicating that he couldn't understand Zong Yue's thoughts.

However, it didn't care. After spending time together, it had roughly figured out some of Uchiha Muneki's personality.

"Lord Zongyue, according to Yakushi Nonou's information, the Three-Tails is sealed at the bottom of that lake ahead." White Zetsu pointed to a huge lake that could already be seen in the distance and chuckled, "However, Lord Zongyue, are we really going to do this? Isn't it a bit too arrogant?"

Standing still, Uchiha Muneki narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing at the lake frozen by the blizzard, and said calmly, "Isn't this just what the Hokage wanted?"

White Zetsu wisely kept his mouth shut, but in his heart, he silently mourned for the Third Hokage for half a second, hoping that the old man wouldn't be so angry that he would vomit blood after hearing the news.

"Let's go, White Zetsu."

Uchiha Muneki walked towards the frozen lake, the tomoe in his eyes swirling and then forming a four-cornered windmill: "Let's go and cause some chaos!"
