Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 231 See you tomorrow? See you today?

As she watched the jet-black writing appear on the pristine white paper, Mei Terumi's eyes visibly widened.

"What, what's going on?" she wanted to ask, but was afraid of disturbing the meeting.

But then the handwriting on the paper suddenly changed: "No need to speak, just write down what you want to say!"

There was a pen in front of Mei Terumi, and everyone on the table had a pen, a notebook, and a bottle of water in front of them.

"How... how did you do that?" Mei Terumi quickly picked up her pen and began writing furiously.

"This is Ink Release!" A line of text appeared below her words: "A bloodline limit formed by the fusion of Water Release and Earth Release!"

"Impossible! You're lying to me!" Mei Terumi immediately wrote through gritted teeth, "The bloodline limit formed by the fusion of Water Release and Earth Release is clearly Lava Release!"

"Who told you that two attributes can only fuse to create one bloodline limit?" The next line followed: "Water Release and Earth Release can also fuse to create Wood Release!"

Mei Terumi was speechless. So Wood Release was a fusion of Water Release and Earth Release!

She was young after all and not very confident in her own knowledge, so she believed Ning Yuan's words.

"Okay, but what did you just say your name was?"

"Ningyuan!"

"You're lying, isn't Ningyuan the name of an immortal lord?"

"I am the Celestial Lord!"

"Nonsense! You dare impersonate a Celestial Lord? Be careful, the Celestial Dynasty will execute you!"

"Who taught you all this? 'Execution'? Does the Celestial Dynasty execute people every day?"

"That's what the adults all say!"

"Only those who have done bad things get shot."

"Isn't it a bad thing that you impersonate a celestial being?"

Why do you think I'm an imposter?

"I've seen the banknotes of the Celestial Dynasty. You don't resemble the people on them at all, and the Celestial Lord's eyes are white, but yours are black!"

Look at me!

Mei Terumi looked up and saw the boy's eyes turn pure white for a moment, then quickly return to black.

"Hiss..." Mei Terumi gasped.

"Um, Mei Terumi? Do you have any opinions on the agreement we're discussing?" asked Shigeru Kaname, who had been interrupted.

"Uh, no, no!" Mei Terumi quickly shook her head. "I just suddenly have a toothache!"

"I see!" Shigeru Kaname nodded and said, "Children should eat less sweets, or they'll get cavities!"

"Mmm!" Mei Terumi nodded repeatedly, then looked at Ning Yuan, only to find him covering his mouth and chuckling.

Glaring at Ning Yuan, Terumi Mei grabbed her pen fiercely: "It's all your fault! You made me look bad!"

"Who knew you'd react so strongly!"

"So, you really are Ning Yuan?"

"Of course! Otherwise, what do you think the Immortal Dynasty is, where just anyone can bring a child to participate in national affairs?"

The eye roll and the age match, although the appearance is different, it should be due to the use of illusion or some other means.

In other words, is he really Ning Yuan?

Upon discovering the boy's true identity, Mei Terumi's face flushed red instantly, the blush spreading all the way up to her ears!

Because she remembered that the purpose of her trip was to have the opportunity to meet Ning Yuan and then arrange a marriage between them!

So, isn't this young man in front of me her future husband?

Even so, Mei Terumi still found it hard to believe.

"Are you really Ning Yuan?"

"Didn't you say it yourself? Within the territory of the Immortal Dynasty, no one should dare to impersonate me!"

"That's true!" Mei Terumi nodded, then suddenly remembered something.

She turned her head and saw the Third Mizukage arguing with Shinobu over some conditions. If you knew that Ning Yuan himself was right here, would you still dare to speak so loudly?

For some reason, she didn't want to expose Ning Yuan's information to her own people, and instead enjoyed the feeling of secretly chatting with Ning Yuan.

That's probably the charm of passing notes.

"What brings you here? Are you here to inspect the work?"

"I guess so! But I'm not really interested in these things!"

"Not interested?" Mei Terumi was taken aback, and hurriedly wrote, "How could that be? If you weren't interested in these things, how could you possibly unify the ninja world!"

"So, what kind of image do you have of me in your heart?"

"Yeah, you can't blame me for telling you!"

"Please feel free to speak."

"What do you mean?"

"I was just saying it casually, I won't blame you!"

"That's good!" Mei Terumi nodded and began writing: "In my mind, you should be the kind of person who has a strong desire for power, likes to control everything, and is also very domineering, not allowing others to disobey your orders!"

Ning Yuan remained silent: "Where did this impression come from?"

"You've unified the ninja world, and you're still asking me where this impression comes from?"

"This is all a misunderstanding of me by the world!" Ning Yuan sighed. "All I wanted was a peaceful and stable environment to live a good life, but unfortunately, the ninja world can't provide that!"

"Huh?" Terumi Mei asked blankly.

"Don't you think the world before the Guining Immortal Dynasty was very dark?"

Terumi pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "Really? I don't feel anything!"

"You were born into the Terumi clan and were well protected by your parents and family from a young age. But you must have had some close friends when you were young, right? Did any of them go to the Ninja Academy? Did any of them die because of the Blood Mist Policy?"

Terumi Mei fell silent.

"Are there any relatives in your family who took good care of you, like older brothers or sisters, who suddenly disappeared after a war?"

Mei Terumi remained silent.

"This is still a ninja with a relatively high status in this world. If he were a commoner, he would not only suffer from the exploitation of landlords, but also be bullied by wild boars in the mountains and robbed by bandits. If he were to fall ill or suffer any minor injury, he would not be able to afford medical treatment and might just be buried casually!"

"Those who don't want to die so easily might sell their children, but the medical level in the ninja world is only so-so. In the end, they still can't avoid death. Once they die, they're gone, and there's no one to collect their bodies. They can only be carelessly thrown into the mountains and that's it!"

"Such calamities and suffering occurred constantly in the former ninja world!"

Mei Terumi felt somewhat speechless. In fact, she felt that what Ning Yuan said was no big deal.

I've seen things that are ten or a hundred times worse than these!

This is not an isolated case, but rather hundreds or thousands of disasters, one after another in villages and one after another in cities.

Although she was young, she was very intelligent. She could tell that Ning Yuan was trying to make her understand the suffering of ordinary people and ninjas.

But Ning Yuan forgot that his background was much better than that of the Miyako family, and the situation in the Land of Fire was much better than that in the Land of Water.

Mei Terumi's experience of the world was far richer than Ning Yuan's.

But Mei Terumi didn't look down on Ning Yuan because of this; on the contrary, she admired him even more.

Because Ning Yuan did not come from a poor background, even though he was from the Hyuga branch family, compared to most ninjas and all commoners, he was still considered to be among the elite.

He shouldn't be the one to feel the suffering of ordinary people and help them!

But he did it anyway.

"I think I can understand you now!" Mei Terumi wrote. "To have someone to rely on in old age, to have someone to grow up in, to study hard in your youth, to get married and have children in adulthood, and then to live a peaceful life—that is your ideal. But in this world of frequent wars, even this simplest ideal is just a pipe dream!"

Ning Yuan was somewhat surprised. Although some of what Terumi Mei said was taken from the book, judging from Terumi Mei's tone, she really understood it!

As expected of Mei Terumi!

There are many charming characters in Naruto, and everyone has their own favorites.

As for the many beautiful women among them, I would love them all.

After all, there's no need for a reason to like beautiful women.

But there are some people among them whom Ning Yuan likes a little more.

For example, Mei Terumi.

As for the reason?

Tsunade is practically immortal, the Tsuchikage can fly, the Raikage is a monster, and the Kazekage, despite being tormented by tailed beasts for over a decade, still possesses a resilient character.

These four people are ruthless among ruthless people.

Mei Terumi, on the other hand, had a smooth life from childhood to adulthood. Her journey to becoming the Mizukage was relatively uneventful, but with the help of her teacher, it passed peacefully.

Although he possesses two bloodline limits, compared to the other four freaks, he is as ordinary as can be.

But as the Mizukage, she had no choice but to fulfill her duty: to confront Madara Uchiha.

Facing such a formidable ninja, he was so frightened that his speech was unsteady and his legs were trembling, but he did not falter when the battle actually began and completed his mission admirably.

His character is undeniably resilient.

Regarding issues concerning the village's development, Mei Terumi, after taking power, ended the Blood Mist policy, abandoned external wars, and embarked on a path of mutual exchange with other ninja villages.

Although this path is somewhat naive, it also shows that she is indeed a peace-loving person and is doing her best for peace.

Compared to Rasa, the Third Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage, and even Pain, Mei Terumi is more deserving of the title of angel!

She is resilient, intelligent, and free of bad habits. When she senses a problem with the village, she stands up to oppose it directly. She stepped up to support the village during its most difficult times, and even delayed her marriage because of the village.

This kind of woman is the kind who can truly hold up half the sky.

She not only rivaled Tsunade in appearance, but also completely surpassed Tsunade in personality, ability, courage, and vision.

Ning Yuan had thought that Mei Terumi's personality traits had gradually developed after witnessing the horrors of World War III, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

Her intelligence and personality traits are already set in stone!

"Your summary is excellent!" Ning Yuan replied, "That's exactly what I think too!"

"Many people would think that way, but only you ended it all!" Mei Terumi looked at Ning Yuan with eyes full of admiration and praise.

So many people dream of world peace, but it's just a dream.

But he actually tried it, and he actually succeeded!

"I wouldn't dare take credit!" Ning Yuan shook his head. "Actually, it's because the foundation laid by our predecessors was so good; I just pushed things forward a little!"

The three fully grown ninja, along with Sakumo Hatake and Minato Namikaze, were enough to wipe out the other four great ninja villages.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't been so selfish, Ning Yuan wouldn't have had the chance to accomplish such a great feat.

Furthermore, if Konoha were truly unified under Hiruzen Sarutobi, let alone if he wanted his son to become Hokage, even if he wanted his pet monkey to become Hokage, probably no one would object!

It's a pity he didn't have that vision!

However, there's no need to tell Mei Terumi about these things.

"You're too modest!" Mei Terumi was somewhat speechless, but she also felt that he wasn't simply being modest.

Previously, her understanding of Ning Yuan was limited to that book.

If you only read that book, you will see a great man who cares about the world and has compassion for all living beings.

After talking with Ning Yuan in person, Terumi Mei realized that his concern for the world and his compassion for the common people were real. However, the living Ning Yuan was more human and less divine than the one in the book.

He also likes to joke, join in the fun, ask for praise, and crave recognition from others.

Hmm, maybe I'm just imagining things.

However, she likes both Ning Yuan in the book and Ning Yuan in real life.

As for whether she should reject this marriage as an arranged one?

Mei Terumi didn't have that idea. Born into a ninja clan, she never had the right to decide her own marriage.

Now that she has the opportunity to marry someone she likes and admires, she's overjoyed and would never refuse!

Mei Terumi was actually a little worried; what if he didn't want to marry her?

After all, the marriage system established by the Guining Immortal Dynasty seems to be monogamous, and Ning Yuan already has a childhood sweetheart, which is common knowledge.

"Since you have agreed to all these conditions, then this Guiyi Conference can be considered a complete success!" While she was still thinking, she suddenly noticed that the adults next to her had all stood up and were applauding.

Standing up in a daze, Mei Terumi noticed another line of text on the paper: "See you tomorrow!"

Mei Terumi silently acknowledged the message and turned to look; the meeting had ended.

I have no idea what they talked about; I was just busy chatting with Ning Yuan.

But it doesn't matter what they talked about. What do world affairs have to do with a little girl who's not even ten years old like me?

"Our Foreign Affairs Department has prepared a banquet!" Shigeru Kaname started making polite remarks again. Mei Terumi was annoyed by this and turned to look at Ning Yuan, only to find that Ning Yuan had quietly left the crowd and was about to open the door to leave.

With a quick thought, "Why wait until tomorrow to see you again? I'll leave now!"

She quietly moved away from the chair and then took small steps toward the door.

While Terumi Yu was discussing important matters with Shigeru Kaname, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. Turning her head, she was immediately terrified: "Mei, you!"

Seeing that she had been discovered, Mei Terumi decided to go all the way and used her Body Flicker Technique to leave the conference room.

"Uh, your daughter is quite lively!" Shigeru Kaname said awkwardly, trying to smooth things over.

"I'm sorry, I made you laugh. I'll go and bring her back right away!" Terumi Yu quickly said.

"It's alright!" Shigeru Kaname waved his hand. "Kids really don't like our adult formalities. If she wants to play, let her go out and play. We'll send someone to accompany her and make sure nothing happens to her!"

"This isn't good!" Terumi Yu wasn't afraid of her own daughter getting into trouble, but she was worried about others getting into trouble.

And why did she suddenly leave?

It seems like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also missing a child?

Could it be that in such a short time, my daughter has been kidnapped?

Zhao Meiyou's forehead was covered in sweat, and she cursed inwardly: Daughter, wake up! You are going to marry the Immortal Lord. You are the future Immortal Lord's wife. You must not be deceived by just anyone!

"It's alright!" Shigeru Kaname said with a smile.

Despite her frustration, Terumi Yu could only nod in agreement in front of Shigeru Kaname, unable to refute him.

Otherwise, what do you mean by doubting the security of the Immortal Dynasty?!
