Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 85 The Elegant Water Shadow of the Future

Wochao Village is now a scene of devastation, overgrown with weeds.

Looking around at everything, Natsume couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion, saying, "The ninja world is truly ruthless."

Mei Terumi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but couldn't help but agree.

The village of Uzushio was destroyed because of the fear of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, and also because of the death of Hashirama Senju.

Revered as the God of Ninjas, he pacified the chaotic world and established a system of one village per country.

Because of his ideals, he distributed the Tailed Beasts to other ninja villages and made a promise that there would be no more wars, giving the ninja world a long-awaited peace.

Unfortunately, his death proved that all of this was just a fleeting moment.

People are at peace not because of peace itself, but because of his power.

Peace, for the ruthless world of ninjas, is ultimately too much of a luxury.

Who is in charge of the Land of Whirlpools now?

Natsume gazed at the distant sea and asked.

"There is a daimyo of the land of whirlpools, but he doesn't concern himself with much."

Mei Terumi snapped out of her daze and said in a cold tone, "Since the destruction of Uzushio Village, the Land of Whirlpools has fallen into chaos, occupied by all sorts of wandering ninjas and vicious criminals, and has become a paradise for crime."

Is it a no-man's-land?

Natsume listened to the familiar description and fell into deep thought.

Perhaps we can conquer the Land of Whirlpools.

From a maritime perspective, its location is too good to be true.

The word "vortex" in the Land of Whirlpools means whirlpool.

Here, several ocean currents converge to form a whirlpool.

The five major countries and five major villages clearly did not realize the importance of transportation.

This also applies to road traffic.

How can we make money if we don't build roads?

"There's a problem!"

Mei Terumi suddenly raised an eyebrow, a serious expression on her face.

Natsume narrowed his eyes, also noticing the abnormality.

There are enemies on the other side of the sea.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

Mei Terumi's eyes turned cold, and she formed hand seals.

Chakra surged out from his body and quickly disappeared.

The roar of the distant sea echoed.

A massive water dragon suddenly formed.

At the same time, there were screams of agony.

Four unlucky guys were swept into the water and carried far away.

But even more ninjas flew out of the sea in unison, forming a line, and countless shuriken and kunai covered the sky.

A chill ran through Mei Terumi's heart.

So many ninjas were trying to assassinate Natsume?

impossible.

Their murderous intent was clearly directed at her.

The only ninja village nearby capable of mobilizing so many ninjas at once is Kirigakure.

Moreover, she knew some of them.

Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!

Mei Terumi formed hand seals once more.

Drawn by chakra, the seawater surged forward at breakneck speed, forming a massive wall that blocked the rain of ninja tools.

"Walk!"

Mei Terumi turned and shouted at Natsume.

Even for her, dealing with so many ninjas would be difficult.

Adding Natsume, an "ordinary person," would be tantamount to courting death.

No sooner had he finished speaking than two earthen dragons emerged from the ground, spitting out mud bullets that shattered the water's walls.

Both sides tacitly refrained from using the Fog Concealment Technique.

After all, everyone here has received professional training and their vision will not be obscured by fog.

Mei Terumi also considered Natsume.

If the fog spreads out, it will be even harder for him to run.

More than a dozen ninjas charged at them in different ways.

Mei Terumi puffed out her cheeks, then opened her small mouth and spat out a stream of orange liquid.

Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique!

The orange liquid is a viscous and highly corrosive acid.

With that one bite, the three ninjas at the front were instantly melted, leaving not even bones behind.

Natsume couldn't help but shiver.

He began to ponder a question: Could an immortal body withstand such a dose?

The acid, still potent, continued to spread.

The other ninjas, seeing the tragic state of their companions, fled in terror.

"Walk!"

Before Mei Terumi could catch her breath, she used Body Flicker Technique to get to Natsume's side, grabbed him, and tried to run away.

But the next moment, someone stood in their way.

"Yingyi, do you know what you're doing?"

Mei Terumi's eyes were filled with murderous intent and coldness, and her whole body exuded an indescribable majesty.

At that moment, Yingyi felt as if he had seen a reflection of water.

This woman cannot be allowed to live!

If she really becomes the Mizukage, she will be the first to be purged.

"What am I doing? To kill you, of course! That's the Mizukage's order!"

Yingyi said with a ferocious expression.

Upon hearing this, Terumi Mei's heart sank.

Although she had suspected it before, the confirmation still gave her a feeling of "Your Majesty, why are you rebelling?"

She believed that after becoming a ninja, she would be absolutely loyal to the Mizukage.

Unexpectedly, he was distrusted because he wanted to secure a future for Kirigakure.

She suddenly remembered Zabuza Momochi.

He fled after his assassination attempt on the Mizukage failed.

But before that, he had always been a loyal ninja of Kirigakure.

It was precisely because they saw the inaction of the water shadow that they wanted to make changes.

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth, her face already somewhat pale.

Due to her age, she is not yet at her peak.

He's stronger than a typical Jonin, but only to a certain extent.

Chakra began to fluctuate violently once again.

Mei Terumi grabbed Natsume and pulled him back.

Waves appeared out of nowhere and surged toward the two people, threatening to engulf them.

Meanwhile, the others were not idle either.

Water and thunder.

The two colors of chakra came together, and instead of clashing, they reacted and strengthened each other.

Mei Terumi immediately threw Natsume out.

He was enveloped in chakra and drifted away into the distance.

After finishing, Mei Terumi faced the thunderous waves and immediately formed hand seals.

Boil Release: Skillful Mist Technique!

The fusion of water and fire produces a highly heated mist.

The mist spread rapidly with each breath she took, soon enveloping the water ripples.

Without any obstruction, everything began to melt.

Even the ground has become a huge crater.

Yingyi's body trembled.

too strong!

The bloodline limit is truly a unique advantage.

However, it also has drawbacks.

Chakra consumption is relatively high.

"Don't be afraid, she won't be able to use her ninjutsu much longer, everyone attack!"

Yingyi shouted loudly, while taking a step back.

Mei Terumi's escape route was blocked once again.

But her expression remained unchanged.

She's the future Mizukage.

Even in the most critical moments, she will not give up.

As a female Hokage, Tsunade doesn't have the typical style of a traditional Hokage; she seems rather casual.

But Mei Terumi is different; she is very dignified and proper in every move, except for the occasional little temper tantrum she shows.

Various water-style ninjutsu techniques have resurfaced.

Standing on the sea, looking at the blue expanse in the distance, Natsume finally understood why Mei Terumi had contributed 100 contribution points earlier.

It was because his plan to open up a sea route would lead to her death.

The premise is that he doesn't save people.

Of course, he will take action.

Whether for the sake of fate points or for his plan, he couldn't just stand by and watch her die.

The only problem is the issue of identity.

Natsume fell into deep thought. How should he explain this?

Anyway, the ninjas from Konoha Village are definitely not very good.

Then the only explanation is that he created a mysterious organization.

He hadn't decided on a name before, so he'll just go with whatever comes to mind and call it Destiny.

There won't be any multiple aliases or alter egos. She'll only occasionally use the identity of the leader of a mysterious organization to do things. Mei Terumi will soon see the protagonist's true face, and only then will they officially begin their romance.
