Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 201 Mei Terumi: I hope my family won't make me sell myself to pay off their debts

Inside the Water Shadow Building laboratory.

As the experiment on the Youkai of Terumi Meiten proceeded, the once silent laboratory was gradually enveloped in white mist, accompanied by a rhythmic, elegant yet dangerous hissing sound of corrosion.

"It looks like it was a success."

The Third Mizukage was standing at the entrance of the laboratory, not entering the laboratory shrouded in white mist. Next to the Third Mizukage was Yuki-onna, Minazuki Kei.

"It's all thanks to Lady Mizukage, otherwise Mei Terumi wouldn't have succeeded," Yuki-onna said from the side.

The Third Mizukage remained noncommittal about Yuki-onna's words. Mei Terumi's talent was already very strong; even without his help, she had a high chance of success.

Mei Terumi slowly emerged from the white mist, her fair face appearing even more beautiful, her emerald green eyes causing a slight ripple when she saw the Third Mizukage.

Mei Terumi has become the Heavenly Youkai—Aoandon—and her strength has reached the Kage level. She now has a strong urge to attack the Third Mizukage, who is far too dangerous.

But seeing the Third Mizukage's calm figure and the Yuki-onna watching her warily from the side, Mei Terumi restrained the impulse that arose in her heart and did not show it on her face.

"Lord Mizukage, I succeeded."

"Oh? You didn't attack me."

The Third Mizukage asked a somewhat strange question.

Mei Terumi's expression changed slightly upon hearing the Third Mizukage's words.

"Lord Mizukage, I am utterly loyal to you..."

"Don't be silly, even a Yuki-onna would laugh if she heard that." The Third Mizukage's voice came.

Mizuki Kai: "."

He originally wanted to laugh...

After all, someone had told him in front of him that they were loyal to the Mizukage.

"Just kidding. After becoming a Heavenly Demon, your strength will skyrocket, and at that time, you will more or less feel that you are invincible. When you see me, the Mizukage and the highest ruler of Kirigakure, you might want to rebel against me."

"Whether it's Kyokotsu, Kappa, Aoki, or Akaki, they all show signs of attacking me, especially the Aoki and Akaki brothers, who attacked me as soon as they woke up."

"It took me a lot of effort to beat them both half to death."

Upon hearing the Third Mizukage's words, Mei Terumi felt a slight pang of regret. Had she known this would happen, she would have taken the opportunity to test the Third Mizukage earlier.

"Could you tell me about the abilities you gained after becoming a Celestial Demon? I need experimental data. Of course, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

The Third Mizukage asked casually, not expecting Mei Terumi to reveal her full abilities, as that was unrealistic.

However, it doesn't matter. He did have a backup plan for the Heavenly Youkai. Although he couldn't control it directly, collecting data on the Heavenly Youkai was still no problem.

The key to becoming a Heavenly Demon—the Cursed Seal—was developed by Shiichi with the help of Orochimaru's ideas. Just like Orochimaru, he also added some soul fragments to it.

Of course, these soul fragments did not belong to Zhiyi himself, but to the insects that Zhiyi cultivated.

It can monitor every celestial monster in real time and collect various data to supplement Shiki's database.

Faced with the Third Mizukage's question, Mei Terumi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "After becoming the Heavenly Youkai—Aoandon, my mastery of Boil Release and Lava Release bloodline limits has increased significantly. No… I should say that Lava Release and Boil Release bloodline limits have become second nature to me."

"Now my body will instinctively produce white mist to slowly change the surrounding environment until everything around me is shrouded in white mist. Moreover, this white mist is extremely corrosive."

"Although I know you've been holding back, your performance has been quite impressive."

"Now that you've succeeded, take a good rest, but don't be too lazy. Kyokotsu and Kappa have already started preparing to seize the Lord of Demons and Monsters, so you have to keep up the good work."

"Yes, Lord Mizukage."

When Mei Terumi walked out of the laboratory, she brought with her some white mist. This mist surged out of the laboratory and rushed towards the Third Mizukage and Yuki-onna.

The Third Mizukage watched this scene without the slightest panic, remaining smiling and motionless.

The white mist fell on the Third Mizukage without causing the slightest ripple.

The snow woman frowned and created a layer of ice crystals on her body.

blah blah blah...

The snow woman's ice crystals were constantly corroded, but with the replenishment of chakra, the ice crystals quickly consumed the remaining white mist.

"Such powerful corrosive ability! Even this little bit of white mist can harm me if I don't defend against it."

The Snow Woman was somewhat surprised by the corrosive power of the white mist, but she wasn't too worried, as her ice-escape abilities were all large-scale.

If a battle breaks out, the Snow Woman will use various ice-based techniques from a distance, and will not step into the area covered by the white mist at all.

"Yes, its corrosive power is indeed very strong."

The Third Mizukage nodded in approval.

"The lab is completely unusable. Yuki-onna, calculate the prices of the equipment in the lab and remember to send them to the Terumi clan."

Mei Terumi walked out of the Mizukage's office with a heavy heart after hearing the Third Mizukage's words.

The Terumi clan is heartbroken by the exorbitant compensation they are about to face. Every piece of equipment in the Heavenly Monster Laboratory is precious, and the Terumi clan is likely to suffer a huge financial loss.

Without a doubt, she will become the patriarch of the Terumi clan. The wealth of the Terumi clan is her wealth. Her little money is gone!

Terumi Mei thought with a heavy heart, should she borrow money from Elder Yuan Shi to pay off her debt?

There was also the shock of the strength displayed by the Third Mizukage.

He was completely unharmed!

"After becoming a Celestial Demon, my strength has indeed increased a lot. This gives me more options when facing future changes."

Everyone knows that Mei Terumi did not tell the Third Mizukage all the abilities she had acquired.

Mei Terumi's white mist has indeed become more corrosive, but that's not all. In addition to the increased corrosiveness, the white mist has also gained the ability to sense corrosion.

In other words, once an enemy is trapped in her white mist, not only their body is corroded, but also their spirit!

The enemy will become increasingly oblivious, eventually not even realizing that their own body is being corroded and riddled with holes.

and also…

A wisp of white mist appeared on Mei Terumi's hand, then condensed into a viscous acid.

"Boiling Release and Lava Release have shown signs of merging and can transform into each other. Is this... Bloodline Elimination?"

"No, it's not that bad yet."

Mei Terumi immediately shook her head, rejecting the conjecture.

"The Third Mizukage..."

"This feeling of having everything controlled by others is absolutely awful."

"However, the most urgent task right now is to figure out how to explain the exorbitant compensation bill to the family."

"I hope my family won't make me sell myself to pay off their debts."

Mei Terumi made a self-deprecating remark, which relieved some of the pressure from the Third Mizukage.
