I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Mei Terumi tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and neither of them backed down during their eye contact.

She thought that perhaps this guy really had the ability to escape from her, but it was unlikely that he could take revenge on the vast Mist Village.

However, the current situation in Fog Shadow is not good, and there is a shortage of manpower.

If this guy manages to seize an opportunity, it could cause quite a bit of trouble.

So, should we take action? Or should we listen to this guy's needs before making a decision?

despair!

The sound stopped.

"Before my patience runs out, I can hear what kind of compensation you want."

"Don't worry, as I said, I'm here to make friends and help the people of the Land of Water overcome their difficulties, so I won't make any unreasonable demands. I only hope that after I complete the S-rank mission, I can get a little more reward."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi's expression immediately relaxed.

"I can answer that for you now. Tell me, how much do you want to add? Is a 10% increase enough?"

The danger and difficulty of S-class missions cannot be measured by money. If the other party truly has the ability to complete an S-class mission, she would agree to double the reward.

Money is no longer important; what matters is people and the stability of the country.

But she was clearly celebrating too soon.

"Lord Mizukage seems to have misunderstood something. When I said 'increase the reward,' I didn't mean money, but something else."

"Other things?"

"I've heard that some of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure have never had a master?"

"Has anyone ever told you that you're incredibly brave? But give up? That's impossible. The Seven Ninja Swords will never be handed over to outsiders. Besides, I must remind you that my patience has been exhausted."

Shinji wasn't intimidated. Instead, he nodded and said, "Then let's change it. We'll use a cursed object as payment."

"A curse?"

The word was a bit new, and Terumi Mei was slightly surprised.

"The so-called cursed objects are items with special powers that are formed after certain cursed spirits are killed. Of course, this is a saying that only circulates in a small circle, so it is normal that Lord Mizukage does not know it. However, your side has eliminated so many cursed spirits, so you must be familiar with such things."

After hearing the explanation, Terumi Mei suddenly realized that it referred to that.

"A cursed object...that's a fitting description."

Surprisingly, the Hidden Mist Village has actually collected some of these things. Some have been researched and found to have uses, while others are still under investigation...

As for its value, it's hard to estimate.

Because each cursed item has different abilities, there will naturally be those that are precious and those that are useless.

Offering something useless as payment is not entirely unacceptable.

How would you like to change it?

"One S-rank mission in exchange for five cursed items, I'll choose myself."

Shinji, taking advantage of the other party's ignorance of the value of cursed objects, immediately made an exorbitant demand.

He can never have too much of a hard currency like [cursed items].

You can use it to exchange for the [cursed items] you need, or you can use it to sell cursed soul points, so you can't lose money either way.

Otherwise, why would he need so much money?

He doesn't have a pay-to-win system.

Mei Terumi's face immediately darkened. "One item at most. Whatever you give me, that's all."

There is a play!

Shinji immediately perked up and began to bargain with the other party.

However, although Mei Terumi did not understand the true value of cursed objects, she could not give them away for a pittance, so she always stuck to one bottom line.

In the end, the two agreed on a price that was acceptable to both parties.

Shinji can get two [Cursed Items] and some money as a reward for completing an S-rank mission. Of course, he can't choose what he gets; he'll take whatever he's given.

"So, it's a pleasure doing business with you?"

"Although I'm not happy, I hope you're not just all talk and no action, making me waste so much of your time."

"Perhaps you can have someone deliver the things now, so I don't have to make a wasted trip when I get back."

"hehe."

Mei Terumi didn't want to talk to this guy anymore and immediately told him to leave.

Before leaving, Shinji suddenly turned around and asked, "If I may ask, does the Mizukage have any beliefs?"

I only believe in myself.

"Sometimes one person's strength is ultimately limited. Perhaps one day in the future, Lord Mizukage will need the help of the gods. You can come to me then."

After saying that, Shinji left.

[Chapter 147 S-Rank Mission - Fog Hill]

Just as Shinji and his men left, Mei Terumi received news that someone had been attacked and killed.

"Who did this?!"

"I don't know, by the time they were found, there were no survivors. But..."

"But what? Speak!"

"However, some suspect that it was Akagi's gang who did it. The two sides had a conflict and contradiction in full view of everyone. In order to eliminate the threat completely, Akagi's gang had the motive and ability to strike first."

Mei Terumi almost laughed out of anger after hearing this, and at the same time felt very disappointed in some people.

"That guy just sat across from me the whole time, calmly haggling with me. Tell me, how did he make the move?"

"Perhaps...perhaps he was an accomplice?"

“I personally witnessed the three of them leave here together. If anyone had left beforehand, they would have been discovered long ago. Why would I need you to remind me?”

"What I mean is that Akagi's group may not only consist of three people. There might be others who haven't been exposed yet. Otherwise, it's really hard to believe that they could complete the mission so efficiently."

"Alright, let's stop with these baseless speculations. Get someone to investigate immediately and find the culprit."

"Yes, Lord Mizukage."

After the other person left, Mei Terumi began to consider every possibility.

When she first heard that someone suspected Akagi and his gang of doing it, she instinctively thought that someone was framing her or that someone was deliberately trying to smear her.

Since Akagi was always right under her nose, it couldn't have been him who did it.

The other two also lingered outside until Akagi left, at which point they followed him out.

The time I was out of sight was at most a few minutes when I went to the bathroom.

Unless these two people can teleport, how could they possibly go there, kill someone, and then come back in that extremely limited time?

Furthermore, even if Akagi and his gang wanted to kill those people, they wouldn't be in such a hurry. Otherwise, why didn't they just kill them directly back then? There would have been no difference anyway.

Therefore, Mei Terumi suspects that because many people knew about the conflict between Akagi's group and the person who was killed, they simply killed the person in an attempt to frame Akagi's group.

Moreover, judging from what she just heard, many people have already begun to suspect Akagi and his gang without any investigation, which undoubtedly proves that the 'murderer's' plan was very successful!

By taking advantage of some people's dissatisfaction with Akagi and his gang, they successfully diverted most of the attention, thus hiding themselves.

Mei Terumi felt that her reasoning was close to the truth; all that was left was to find the real culprit.

However, the possibility of Akagi and his gang being involved cannot be completely ruled out.

What if there really is someone else in Akagi's group, and it really was this person who hasn't been exposed yet?

After careful consideration, Terumi Mei still couldn't let it go and decided to investigate herself.

Just then, Akagi and his crew were about to complete an S-rank mission, a mission of such difficulty that they would definitely need to go all out.

In this way, if Akagi and his gang still have something to hide, it will inevitably be exposed.

Then we'll know whether we wronged them or not.

Mei Terumi then had someone deliver detailed information about the two S-rank missions, which she carefully examined.

. . . . . . .

"When will we be able to rebuild the cult of evil gods?"

Hidan, with his hands folded behind his head, asked somewhat boredly.

"Didn't we already say that once we have ten people, we can officially rebuild the Evil God Cult? Otherwise, with only a few of us, what's the difference between this and just playing around?"

Suddenly, Shinji's expression turned strange. "You don't mean to ask when you'll become the leader, do you?"

Hidan's eyes widened immediately, and he launched into a triple denial: "I didn't, you're lying, that's impossible!"

Shinji: "Afei, what do you think?"

"Uh, I think... if Hidan-senpai becomes the leader, our Jashin Cult can probably be disbanded again in less than a month, yay~!"

"Ah Fei, prepare to die! Take this Evil God Running Kill!"

"Waaaaah! Shinji-senpai, help me!"

Sorry, I can't save you. The evil god's running attack is too powerful; I really can't handle it.

Watching the two dogs playfully fighting, Shinji, their owner, couldn't help but reveal a knowing, perverted smile.

Based on the information provided by Kirigakure, Shinji and his group arrived at the fearsome Mist Mountain.

The intelligence reports that the mountain is named Fog Mountain because it is shrouded in thick fog all year round.

However, because the mountain is rich in many precious medicinal herbs, it usually attracts many people to go up the mountain to collect herbs.

Even many villages in the surrounding area rely on this misty mountain for their livelihood.

It's a place that's dangerous, but not that dangerous.

But at some point, this misty mountain became an extremely dangerous place.
