Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

On a distant sea.

Several oddly shaped warships were sailing.

"Turn left two full rotations!"

Inside the main ship.

"Drivers, begin boarding! Begin boarding!"

Subsequently, countless soldiers dressed in strange clothes and wearing masks all put on flying devices.

We rode on a stone platform similar to an elevator, and arrived in the air.

boom--

The chains were severed, and countless flying devices behind the soldiers unfurled their wings.

They flew around the strange warship.

They soon arrived at the edge of the ninja world, on an island.

It flew through the small town and crashed into a tall building.

Meanwhile, countless soldiers dropped bombs.

Naruto frowned in his sleep.

"Capable of large-scale air raids... During the Second Shinobi World War, there was a group of ninjas who could use chakra to perform flight techniques."

"The Land of the Sky?"

"It's because Mount Myōboku was destroyed, and Ryūchi Cave is temporarily sealed off, so the snakes have come out, and slugs have come to Konoha... Interesting, they probably don't know about the changes in the ninja world right now."

"Next stop is Konoha, right?"

Meanwhile, on that island, the residents had already been evacuated to air-raid shelters.

However, quite a few people were still injured.

A white-haired man took out a medical kit.

"Pneumothorax is when air leaks from the lungs and fills the chest cavity."

"It can compress the lungs and cause necrosis."

......

"teacher?!"

Will you come here?

"No matter what, I need Konoha's help... Something terrible has happened to our village!"

After saying that, she collapsed in front of the gates of Konoha.

"Um?"

Mei Terumi, who rushed over, was stunned for a moment.

The child in front of her suddenly collapsed without warning.

She narrowed her eyes, remaining vigilant, and slowly walked over.

I knelt down and turned her over.

"Hmm? Is it a girl?"

"Did you faint from exhaustion?"

After thinking for a moment, Terumi helped her up.

"Teacher... Uzumaki... Naruto Uzumaki..."

Yu Liu made a faint sound.

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi paused, then blinked.

"Teacher? Naruto?"

"Could it be that she's Naruto's student?"

"Never heard of her... Never mind, let's take her to Konoha Hospital first."

"Perfect timing, I have something to talk about and a suitable reason to see Naruto~"

Thinking about it, Mei Terumi couldn't help but smile.

My anticipation grew stronger.

Arriving at the gates of Konoha, Kotetsu and Izumo Kamui lowered their heads, holding pens in their hands.

"Name: Village... Ah? It's the Fifth Mizukage?!"

"Please register me." Mei Terumi said with a light laugh.

Izumo and Kotetsu quickly shook their heads, "It's alright, it's alright, Fifth Mizukage, please feel free to do as you please. We'll register you here."

"Thanks."

After saying that, Mei Terumi carried Amurei to Konoha Hospital.

Kotetsu rubbed his eyes. "Why did the Mizukage come alone this time?"

Izumo Kamitsu tapped him. "Get back to work."

Meanwhile, Mei Terumi settled Ayuri in Konoha Hospital.

He then headed towards the Hokage's office.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Minato and the Second Hokage handling government affairs.

"The Fourth Hokage, the Second Hokage."

Tobirama Senju nodded, then continued working on the documents.

Why is he there?

Why is Minato involved?

Why isn't Tsunade here?

It's very simple, because Tobirama Senju wanted to hold his great-grandson.

When Kushina found out, she also pushed Minato out.

"The Fifth Mizukage."

Minato put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and turned to make tea.

Mei Terumi's gaze swept over the two of them before she shook her head.

"May I ask what brings Lord Mizukage to Konoha this time?"

Minato asked with his signature little sun smile on his face.

Mei Terumi glanced at him, her mind flashing wildly back to the photo Kurama had given her.

She quickly suppressed the agitation in her heart.

There are three... no more than two things.

As soon as Mimi Mei said it, she immediately changed her mind.

Minato maintained his smile and said:

"Oh? Why don't you tell me about it?"

Mei Terumi nodded slightly and said, "Hokage, I heard that your village captured Obito Uchiha?"

Upon hearing this, Minato immediately understood Mei Terumi's purpose.

"Is it because of the Village of Blood Mist?"

Mei Terumi nodded.

"Naruto said that Kurama would decide how to deal with Obito."

As soon as Minato finished speaking, Mei Terumi exclaimed in surprise:

"she?!"

Mei Terumi stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

Of course, she quickly realized what was happening.

That fox seemed to really like money.

If she were to go find that fox... needless to say, she would definitely say that it would be a different price.

Damn!

But... I've already... Never mind, I can just go back to the village tonight. Those old guys have a lot of money; I can take it secretly without them knowing.

Thinking of this, Mei Terumi smiled again. "Then, Hokage, could you please tell me Kurama's location?"

The water gate points out the window.

Mei Terumi looked in the direction he was pointing.

Next to the Hokage Building, there was a building with the words "Kurama Corporation" written on it.

Thank you.

Mei Terumi got up and left without hesitation.

Minato scratched his head, but was quickly called over by Tobirama to help him with the documents.

"call--"

Mei Terumi arrived at the foot of the Kurama headquarters building and slowly exhaled.

"Success or failure hinges on this!"

Thinking about it, she sent someone to inform Nine Lamas of her arrival.

Soon, led by a commoner...

Mei Terumi met Konoha's number one seductive vixen.

"Oh?"

"Isn't this the Fifth Mizukage?"

As he spoke, Nine Lama waved his hand.

Everyone in the office has left.

Kurama remained seated in his armchair, glancing sideways at Terumi Mei.

"Lord Mizukage is a regular customer, so what brings you here this time?"

"They can't be here to return something, can they?"

That flippant attitude instantly enraged Mei Terumi.

However, thinking of the Nine Lamas' abilities, she still managed a smile.

"I'm so sorry... I disturbed you."

As she spoke, she slowly turned around, as if to leave.

one two three...

Aren't you going to stop me?

Ok.

Mei Terumi ultimately couldn't resist.

"So, Lord Kurama has already looked down on Kirigakure."

"I originally came here to discuss business, but it seems that Lord Kurama does not want to trade with Kirigakure."

Nine-Lama's long fox ears twitched.

whoosh-

The next moment, she was in front of Mei Terumi.

His previously frivolous expression vanished completely.

"What are you saying, Lord Mizukage?"

"You're leaving in the time it takes me to make tea?"

"Why not try the Konoha specialty, Da Hong Pao, first?"

Terumi Mei snorted coldly.

"No need. I didn't expect Lord Kurama to look down on Kirigakure. There's no need for me to humiliate myself here!"

Nine-Tailed Fox quickly grabbed her arm. "Lord Mizukage, you are a very important client. It's rare for you to come all this way. You should at least sit down for a while."

After saying that, she let go and stopped stopping him.

I sat down and began to enjoy my tea.

It seemed that she really didn't care about the business that Mei Terumi mentioned anymore.

However...

After Mei Terumi discovered the extra photos in her hand.

I took a peek.

His pupils contracted instantly, and at the same time, the base of his ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She quickly put the photos away.

A complete reversal!

She was just pretending to be angry, but now she's back to her previous slightly ingratiating expression.

"Lord Kurama~"

Nine Lama closed his eyes and hummed a little tune softly.

Mei Terumi simply gave up all her assets.

This is the land deed for the future commercial street planned for Kirigakure Village.

"Nine Lama, name your price."

"I want to see him!"

"I don't want to take pictures... Give me all the rest!"

Nine Lama opened one eye, glanced at her indifferently, and then looked at the land deed.

"not enough."

"Photos are priced separately."

"Obito Uchiha wasn't cheap either."

"You're not the first person to come to me asking for Obito Uchiha."

"Amegakure's offer is very high. Although you are a major client... Amegakure has quite a few major clients as well. Sigh, this is a difficult matter. I need to think it over carefully."

Mei Terumi's eye twitched slightly, and she continued:

"There are quite a few wealthy elders in our village!"

"They watched me grow up, so it's no problem for me to steal... cough cough, to ask them for money."

Nine Lama squinted his eyes, his slender, fair fingers gently tapping the table.

dong dong dong-

Just like Mei Terumi's heartbeat at this moment.

"This matter..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mei Terumi said, "This is my limit."

"Also, I have two urgent matters to discuss with Naruto."

"Oh? What is it? And, are there only two things?" Kurama crossed his arms, seemingly confident.

Mei Terumi sighed helplessly, "Yes, there's been unusual activity in the sea outside Kirigakure."

"It seems to be a situation like the Land of Demons."

"Also, I just saved his disciple."

"The last one..." Mei Terumi, who is usually bold, is more timid and more innocent than anyone else when it comes to the real thing in person.

Nine Lama let out a long "Oh".

"and then?"

"Lord Mizukage, as you know, I'm very busy."

Just then, Kushina burst in.

"Nine Lama!"

"So you're getting cocky, huh?"

"I told you to come back for dinner, but you're still dawdling!"

Then, Kushina saw Mei Terumi.

Terumi Mei felt inexplicably nervous.

He quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Kushina.

Kushina's eyes immediately lit up.

If I remember correctly... this Mizukage seems to be single too!

Moreover, it possesses an extremely strong bloodline.

This... huh?

Kushina suddenly narrowed her eyes. "That's...a picture of my baby?"

"Could it be... Kurama?!"

Kushina looked at Kurama with a questioning expression.

Nine-Tailed Buddha laughed and said, "Come on, Lord Mizukage, come back with us for dinner too."

Mei Terumi's face turned bright red.

She noticed Kushina's strange look just now.

That's when I realized the photo in my arms was showing.

In front of someone else's mother... one's own age...

Mei Terumi died on the spot.

However, she noticed it out of the corner of her eye.

The moment Kushina entered, Kurama subtly flicked his tail.

Her land deed is gone!

They accepted it?

agreed?

After that, Mei Terumi realized that once the money was in Kurama's hands, no one except a few people could get a single penny out of her.

"Hmm~"

The slug couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

She glanced down reproachfully at Naruto, who was still sleeping restlessly on her lap.

Naruto also slowly woke up.

"They're here."

The slug blinked. "Naruto-sama, what's here?"

Naruto looked at her and said, "Sorry, it was so comfortable that I couldn't help but fall asleep."

The slug shook its head.

Naruto added, "We've only been in Konoha for a short time, let's play for a few days first, and then I'll go to Shikkotsu Forest with you in a few days."

at the same time.

Outside the Hidden Cloud Village, the Fourth Raikage was dumbfounded.

"Where are the three of you going?"

He guessed that Samui would go to Konoha.

But... what's the deal with Yugito Nii, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails?

The Hidden Cloud Village would be heartbroken to lose even one of these three.

All three are gone at once...
