From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 158 Dragon Vein (5k)

The moment she heard what Sawara Kiri said, Terumi Mei was stunned at first, but when she met those warm blue eyes, her heart suddenly trembled, and she immediately understood what this adult meant. She lowered her head slightly, hiding her little thoughts.

Bone veins.

He is indeed a bloodline ninja of the Hyuga clan.

But why would they do this?
Zabuza and Mangetsu Kizuki next to them didn't notice the subtle change in Terumi Mei's expression at all. They followed Sawara Kiri excitedly and asked various questions.

Sawara Kiri also welcomed everyone who came and gave advice like a truly good teacher.

After a while, he left with an excuse.

"Hey, Ming."

"Why didn't you say a word just now?"

It was not until Sawara Kiri left that Mangetsu Kizuki, who was a little more attentive, noticed that something was wrong with Mei Terumi and asked directly about it.

"Fool."

Mei Terumi, however, didn't take them seriously at all. She cursed under her breath before continuing, "Of course I'm thinking about Lord Sawara's mission just now!"

"You have to think carefully about how to hang out with those kids without exposing your identity, right?"

Although they are companions, Mei Terumi has already discovered that even after seeing the battle scene between Sawara Kiri and Uchiha Madara, these two people have no problem at all with a powerful figure like him staying in this village, and naturally they will not say anything to reveal their thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Zabuza and Mangetsu Kizuna were also stunned.

It seems so.

I was so busy talking to Lord Sawara that I almost forgot about the mission.

Now that I think about it, it does seem quite troublesome.

"Anyway, you all should be careful."

Mei Terumi said calmly, "From now on, the three of us should try not to interact too closely, so that others won't notice anything wrong."

"As for integrating into the group, you try to get in touch with Hatake Sakumo's son and Sarutobi Hiruzen's youngest son. I will try to get in touch with the girls' group."

"Being too aloof does give you away easily."

Hearing this, both of them nodded.

Although in terms of strength, the ninjutsu-type Mei Terumi is inferior to them, this girl has a good brain and has always been the captain among the three.

At this moment, hearing Mei Terumi say this, the other two didn't notice anything wrong at all.

Even when they walked out of the Forest of Death, Mei Terumi still looked troubled.

When she got home, she thought for a long time and finally wrote a letter, stuffed it into the mouth of a psychic hamster, and tried to contact Lord Yagura first.

There is definitely something wrong with Sawara Kiri!

On the next school day, Terumi Mei easily blended into the small circle of girls including Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Rin.

Even though she felt bored, Mei Terumi had no right to refuse such a task as she had the heavy responsibility of the village on her shoulders.

"Ming, let's go!"

"The next one is physical education!"

"Yes~yes~"

The half-grown loli who had her face slightly lowered and a calm expression in the previous second, the moment she raised her head, her expression had changed to a sunny and cheerful one, and she trotted behind Xi Ri Hong.

The red-eyed girl with black curly hair smiled peacefully, and the two of them walked out of the classroom door shoulder to shoulder.

"Let me tell you, I saw that urban legend yesterday!"

"It's the one who runs around the village every afternoon with a weird green-skinned man in tights and screams!"

"Hey! Is there really such a thing?"

"When he passed by me, he even shouted 'thank you for your support'!"

"It's just that the trough nose is a bit ugly."

Mei Terumi listened to what Kurenai said, pretending to be very interested, and waved to the other side:

"Lin! It's time to go!"

Nohara Lin, who was lying on the desk in a daze, was startled when she heard this and immediately stood up from her seat with a red cheek.

When he looked up, he caught a glimpse of the other two people with mischievous smiles on their faces.

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Nohara Lin pulled her short hair down a little awkwardly.

Kurenai came closer to her, glanced in the direction she had been looking at just now, and lowered her voice: "I say, you really like that guy Kakashi, right?"

"So and so said that! I didn't!"

Nohara Lin's face suddenly turned from slightly red to bright red, and it seemed as if smoke was coming out of her little head.

The next moment, she immediately reacted and looked in Hong's direction angrily:
"Red! That's so abominable!"

"Look how I deal with you today!"

As he said this, he was like a young tiger descending from the mountain. He pounced and grabbed Hong's waist, making her run away because of the itch.

Mei Terumi also trotted behind the two of them, glancing towards the corner of the classroom.

Kakashi, with his face covered, was quietly flipping through a book, oblivious to the scene here.

Is that the son of Konoha White Fang?

It should be considered to have some strength.

However, she didn't look at it for long, but followed the two people playing and laughing.

It is Zabuza and his team's mission to contact Kakashi.

When the entire classroom was empty, Kakashi, who was sitting in the corner of the classroom, finally closed the high-grade book in his hand, glanced toward the door, and snorted:
"Humph."

"boring."

In a short while, all the students in Class A of the first year arrived at the playground. Under the organization of the Chunin teachers, they lined up in rows and conducted combat drills in an orderly manner.

As the top student in the entrance examination, Hatake Kakashi was naturally the first one to be called out.

As soon as I stepped out of the crowd, a small cheer was heard behind me.

Apparently, this cool boy is quite popular among the precocious ninja girls.

"Damn it Kakashi!"

When Uchiha Obito heard the cheers, he immediately jumped up in the crowd: "Surprisingly so popular."

"Being the top student in the grade, that's not certain."

Asuma Sarutobi folded his hands, looking as if it was a matter of course.

However, when I saw that Hong didn't show any expression, I felt slightly relieved.

However, in his peripheral vision, Yuhi Kurenai tilted her head and whispered to Nohara Lin:
"It's over, Lin-chan has so many opponents!"

Nohara Lin's ears were sensitive to begin with, and when she blew on them, her whole body shuddered.

When he heard Hong's voice clearly, he immediately reached out and gently twisted her waist:
"hateful!"

"Oh hoo."

Mei Terumi also lowered her voice and asked, "Is Kakashi really that powerful?"

"Of course."

Nohara Lin, who had just blushed and refused to speak, immediately showed a matter-of-fact look at this time: "Although everyone says he is a genius, he actually worked very hard to achieve the strength he has today!"

"Eh!"

In the examination room, the Chunin teacher announced the list: "Hatake Kakashi versus Momochi Zabuza, the seal of opposition!"

Little Kakashi put one hand in his pocket, not taking the fight between the kids seriously at all, and looked nonchalant, with one hand pointing upwards.

Opposite him, Zabuza's face, covered by bandages, broke into a hideous smile and he also formed hand seals.

"Number one in the ninja school, this title will belong to me from now on!"

In the distance, Mei Terumi nodded secretly.

Strong enemy character.

This is a very easy way to get close to each other.

Kakashi Hatake didn't take the threat from the other party seriously at all.

Unlike these little kids.

Now, he has seen a bigger world.

"start!"

Almost at the moment when the Chunin teacher's palm fell, the two little guys flew towards each other at the same time.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Several blunt shurikens flew out from Kakashi's hands. Zabuza Momochi, who was still charging, simply turned his body and easily avoided the series of shurikens.

However, there was only a moment of pause as the short Kakashi took a step forward and kicked him hard in the chin.

"Snapped."

A sharp upper kick was caught with one hand.

Kakashi's gaze paused slightly. This guy was so strong.

Zabuza didn't care about his thoughts at all. He grabbed his calf with one hand and stabbed him with a kunai in the other hand.

Kakashi's body leaped up lightly with the force of his pull, deflecting the attack in mid-air. The kunai in his hand changed from a normal grip to a reverse grip, and almost simultaneously stabbed towards Zabuza's chest.

"clang!"

Zabuza retracted the kunai in his hand, and the kunai in the hands of the two men collided, making a crisp metallic sound.

Before he could react, Kakashi's left leg, which was held by him, immediately broke free from his grasp, spun around and kicked him on the shoulder with a dull sound.

At the same time, the whole person spun lightly in the air with this step and landed steadily on the ground.

"Amazing!"

When Nohara Lin, who had just entered the ninja school a few days ago, saw this scene, her eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light.

This made Obito in the crowd feel annoyed.

However, unlike these little ones who have not yet received training.

Mei Terumi, however, looked very serious. Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the details.

In just this series of brief encounters, this kid named Kakashi showed some outstanding physical skills.

Even if he were to take the graduation exam now, he probably wouldn't lose points in the physical skills department.

There are so many geniuses in Konoha.

While Mei Terumi was thinking, Kakashi did not stop at all. He seized the slight flaw when the opponent was kicked just now and rushed out from the spot.

However, Zabuza, who had been slightly tilted just now, smiled, and his body, which was almost tilted, rolled half a circle on the ground, and the kunai in his hand swept along the direction of his legs and feet.

But just when his legs were about to be cut, Kakashi suddenly jumped up and turned over.

Put your hands on the ground.

Zabuza couldn't help but pause as he continued to lunge forward.

Konoha's great whirlwind.

"boom!"

The ninja shoes spun half a circle, and with the sound of wind, they kicked heavily, hitting Zabuza's face hard, and the whole person was spun out by this kick.

Taking advantage of the situation, Hatake Kakashi stood up and pounced on him again, pressing the kunai heavily on his back and at the same time the kunai pierced the side of his neck!

"puff."

Zabuza's pupils suddenly shrank.

"very good!"

When the Chunin teacher on the other side saw this scene, his eyes suddenly lit up and he raised his hand to signal the end of the battle: "Hatake Kakashi wins!"

When the people nearby heard the sound, there was immediately a burst of cheers mixed with sighs.

The ones cheering were naturally the Kakashi fans nearby.

Those who were sighing were the little guys, led by Obito and others, who disliked Kakashi.

"Damn it!"

"Why can't you just give this guy a punch!"

Looking at Nohara Rin's shining eyes, little Obito felt his heart aching.

How abominable!

Mangetsu Hozuki next to him had a smiling face and didn't take Obito's complaint to heart at all.

After Zabuza completed the Seal of Reconciliation and returned to the team, he whispered, "Not bad."

"Humph, who do you think I am?"

Zabuza looked self-righteous and didn't say that he was careless just now.

——That’s too embarrassing.

However, when Kakashi passed by, he still said coldly as planned: "I will definitely defeat you next time!"

"Oh."

Little Kakashi still had those dead eyes and didn't take these words to heart at all.

There were so many people who had said this to him that he couldn't remember them all.

However, Mei Terumi saw all of this and felt slightly relieved.

It seems that, at least in the process of carrying out this mission, there should be no accidents.

Wait until the day's classes are over.

When Mei Terumi returned home, she caught a glimpse of the little hamster that had emerged from the desk at some point in time, and her heart was immediately filled with joy.

Lord Yagura replied.

However, when I unfolded the note, my heart sank.

[Continue to perform the mission, follow the direct online command, do not disturb me with other matters]

It was obvious that Karuta Yagura had no intention of doing anything because of her little suspicion.

No.

Looking at the small note, Mei Terumi couldn't help but recall the first time they met Sawara Kiri, and how respectful Lord Yagura was to that man, Sawara Kiri.

A dangerous thought suddenly arose in my heart.

they
Even among the entire top leadership of Kirigakure, are they all in the same group?

Just as this thought came to her mind, Mei Terumi suddenly felt a chill on her back, and her rosy face turned pale.

If so, what exactly are these people trying to do?
Mei Terumi didn't dare to think any further.

Still, just follow orders.

"Sawara Book of Friends: Character 'Mei Terumi'"

"Bond level increased↑"

"Mei Terumi bond level: zero → one"

"Ok?"

Noticing the panel that suddenly popped up, Sawara Kiri was stunned at first, and then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"I originally thought that Zabuza and Mantsuki were the two innocent kids that would be easier to get along with, but I didn't expect that the kid would be the first to realize the reality?"

"What a smart kid."

Obviously, he noticed something slightly abnormal about Mei Terumi from the very beginning, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

In fact, with his current strength and status, it would not be difficult for him to directly attack the Hidden Mist Village, kill all the high-ranking officials and all the ninja clans, and merge the two villages in one go.

The reason why he didn't do so was simply because he didn't want to destroy the current peaceful development environment of the ninja world - he himself was invincible, of course, but it was impossible for him to always be with every Konoha villager to prevent them from being killed by the suicide attacks of the remnants of the Mist Village.

Naturally, a relatively gentle approach was chosen.

Sawara Kiri has long regarded the current Konoha Village and the Hidden Mist Village as his own, and he does not want to see either side suffer any damage.

The subsequent process of supporting Yagura to the top is relatively simpler, but this will have to wait until he becomes the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

Now, he has something more important.

Sawara Kiri lowered her head and looked at the papers on her desk.

It was densely marked with various Naruto plots and movies that he had watched in his previous life, and circles were drawn on many characters and places.

Among them, the words that were chosen the most times were "Monsters of the Demon Country", "Infinite Terracotta Warriors", "Immortal Evil God", "Dragon Vein", and "The Second Ten-Tailed Fox".

Now his strength level has encountered a barrier.

When you initially use the system to gain abilities, naturally no matter what you gain, it will be of some use.

Like the original "Fire God Kagura" and "Unlimited Ritual", his strength level has been greatly improved.

But later on, whether it was "Black Sword Autumn Water" or "Six Styles of the Navy", the improvement in his strength was actually quite limited.

So much so that in the battle with Uchiha Madara, it could only be used as a normal attack.

This is not because these abilities and items are too bad, but because his strength is too strong.

According to Sawara Kiri's own estimation, he was confident that he could fight Hashirama Senju in his prime Sage Mode, and even if he couldn't beat him, he would definitely be able to run away.

This is not arrogance, but the confidence brought by real achievements.

He can be called the number one person under the Six Paths.

But unfortunately, after becoming invincible in the world, enemies came from the sky.

Shell Organization, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

This is a strong man that he cannot resist now.

He couldn't even defeat someone from the Otsutsuki clan like Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had no martial arts skills and only relied on her omnipotence to use her ultimate moves.

Therefore, he needs to think carefully about how to make up for his shortcomings.

Of all his shortcomings, the most glaring one is his current total amount of chakra.

Although learning the Yin Seal allowed him to reach the level of a strong shadow's chakra after being released, this total amount was too inadequate compared to the monsters of the future.

After the options on paper have been crossed out one by one because of various side effects.

In the end, his pen finally fell on the "Dragon Vein".

"Dragon Vein"

Sawara Kiri scratched his hair with a headache.

Before this, he had already asked Lord Jiraiya for information related to the dragon veins.

Unlike the fan fiction he had read in his previous life, which was able to directly draw on the dragon veins for personal use, after he expressed this idea, Jiraiya only needed one sentence to make him give up the idea.

"The dragon vein is the purest, most violent and unstable natural energy. It is even more difficult to contact than the three holy places. If you are not careful, you will explode and die. You must never absorb it into your body like a Jinchūriki."

Think about it too.

Such a large energy source is just there, and thousands of years have passed. Ninjas even dare to stuff the tailed beasts into their bodies, so how could the dragon vein be unused?
It’s just that most of the endings are not very good, which is why people are discouraged.

However, Sawara Kiri's target is not the dragon vein itself.

He took out a map of the ninja world, and the entire map was already covered with lines.

There is more than one dragon vein connected to the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

As the lifeline of the earth, it runs through the entire ninja world, entwined like a root system beneath the ground, constantly entangled with each other, and only a few main veins are the thickest and connected to each other.

Finally, they meet at the junction of the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom.

"Boom."

Sawara Kiri's pen strokes fell heavily there.

This dragon vein that was like a root system beneath the earth reminded him of something.

Sacred tree.

Thousands of years ago, the sacred tree absorbed the natural energy of the entire ninja world and formed the Chakra Kingdom, which was eventually taken by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"So."

"Will something like a sacred tree leave seeds?"

Sawara Kiri looked at the map calmly and talked to himself.
