Golden figures appeared all around.

"Enjoy it while you can before you leave; it's never too late."

Jin picked up all sorts of weapons.

Ai's face turned a liverish color.

"Now only the most troublesome part remains."

Jin looked up and gazed in the direction of the Water Kingdom.

Madara Uchiha is not so easy to deal with.

Chapter 286 First Encounter with Mei Terumi

Kirigakure Village.

Built deep in the mountains, it is shrouded in thick fog year-round.

In the forest.

Jin tapped his headband on his forehead and used a transformation spell to change his appearance.

The unfortunate ninja at his feet had completely stopped breathing, and his appearance was exactly the same as Jin's current state.

Tree branches sprouted from the ground, slowly pulling the unfortunate one down.

The white eye hidden beneath the headband opened and looked out through it.

"It's really well-sealed."

From the ground hidden in the mist, one could see the figure of a white Zetsu constantly scouting.

He appeared just at the edge of Kirigakure, thus escaping the White Zetsu's search.

"Deep sea, you're too slow."

A little girl was standing on a high branch, looking down at Jin.

"I'm sorry, Mei Terumi."

Jin chuckled awkwardly and quickly flipped through the man's ninja memories.

He was in the same team as the future Fifth Mizukage, who was only eight years old but had already graduated from the Ninja Academy in Kirigakure.

Since the Third Mizukage came to power, graduation ceremonies in ninja villages have always been conditional on surviving the teachers at the ninja academy.

Those who survive are naturally the elite.

This system may even change later on.

By the time the Fourth Mizukage arrives, the conditions will become even more stringent, bordering on persecution.

"faster."

Mei Terumi said coldly, glancing left and right but finding nothing unusual, before turning and continuing to leap forward.

Their mission was actually quite simple: patrol.

The purpose of patrolling is not to prevent people from other ninja villages.

Like the Hidden Cloud Village, Kirigakure has a unique geographical location.

The Hidden Cloud Village is too high, and the Land of Water is surrounded by the sea; it's not easy to get there.

They might be discovered halfway there.

They were on guard against their own people who wanted to escape.

Although Kirigakure is not as oppressive as it is under the future Fourth Mizukage, the entire Kirigakure currently implements an elite policy.

The intense pressure on Kirigakure meant that weakness was a crime, whether one was a ninja or a civilian.

Only the strong can act recklessly and without restraint in the Hidden Mist.

The weak must become strong in order to survive.

Jin jumped up the tree and followed closely behind Mei Terumi, where a ninja with bandages on his body had been waiting for a long time.

The bandaged ninja stared coldly at Jin.

"If you're this slow next time..."

"Kill you."

A chilling killing intent swept over Jin.

Glancing at the transformed ninja's past attitude towards his comrades, he straightened his neck and said defiantly, "You try it! It's not certain who will kill whom."

Byakugan swept over the white Zetsu wandering on the ground.

Before the bandaged ninja could say anything more, Mei Terumi stopped her, saying, "Alright, let's finish the patrol mission first."

Such disputes, which often escalate into physical fights, are not uncommon.

She could only stop it temporarily.

"When will this system end?"

Mei Terumi sighed inwardly. She acknowledged that many powerful individuals had emerged from the Kirigakure under this system, but the oppression it exerted on the entire Kirigakure was also very real.

The village was actually more dangerous than the outside, no wonder some people couldn't help but run away.

Even the village's second-in-command, former teacher, was hesitant.

They saw the oppression of the village, but they also saw the power that was constantly emerging within it.

This has led many people to choose to wait and see.

The two of them snorted coldly at the same time.

They began patrolling the entire Kirigakure village with Mei Terumi.

Kirigakure is very large, almost the same size as Konoha, and the sky gradually darkened as they circled around it.

They weren't the only patrol team.

We encountered quite a few on the way, but we were all wary of each other and didn't get too close.

No one knows if getting close to the other person will lead to a fatal attack.

Killing people in Kirigakure is no problem at all; one can only lament one's own weakness.

Wait until the patrol is over.

"Today's mission is complete."

"That's what Mei Terumi, the team leader, said."

No one would have guessed that the team was led by Mei Terumi, a little girl who was only eight years old.

This is a village where strength is the center.

This only means that Mei Terumi is stronger than the two people.

"deep sea."

Just as Kin was about to leave, Terumi Mei called him back.

Jin turned and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Mei Terumi said in a low voice, "Be careful tonight. I hope to see you again tomorrow."

"understood."

Jin waved his hand.

Mei Terumi frowned deeply as she watched Akami leave, sensing a subtle difference in him compared to before.

But no flaws were found.

However, she ignored it.

Turned and left.

Jin walked into a secluded alley.

He turned his head to look behind him.

"You've been following me for so long, come out now."

Upon hearing Jin's words, the ninja covered in bandages emerged from the shadows, sticking out his long tongue to lick the kunai. The sharpness of the kunai left a bloody mark on his tongue.

"Kid, I need to make it clear to you that you must be respectful to your seniors."

Jin's Byakugan remained open, and seeing that White Zetsu hadn't noticed him, he looked at the bandaged ninja in front of him with great interest.

He specifically chose this place.

"I'm sorry, there are some things I can't take up with your time."

Jin shook his head, and suddenly a wooden branch grew from the ground and instantly wrapped around the bandaged ninja's foot.

The bandaged ninja's pupils contracted, and he pointed at Kongo, about to shout.

The opponent wasn't a Mist Ninja, but it was already too late.

Branches continued to grow from the ground, completely binding him and gradually pulling him into the ground.

The ground was quickly filled in.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Jin looked through the alley at the distant water-reflected high-rise buildings.

He jumped up and rushed straight toward the Water Shadow Building.

The escape routes have been searched.

Upon arriving at the Water Shadow Building, Jin was stopped by the security guard.

Seeing Jin's anxious face, the gatekeeper frowned and asked.

"What are you doing?"

Jin slowly caught his breath and said.
