The Strongest Gentleman Development System in Naruto

Boom!

A massive flow of magma surged forth like a tidal wave, crushing towards Orochimaru.

"Damn it, this range..." Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, and he put his thumb to his lips.

Spiritual communication!

Boom!

The moment the smoke burst open, he was completely engulfed by the tidal wave of lava.

·y

Red! Everywhere you looked was red; the entire mountain path and forest had become a scorching hell. Wisps of white steam floated in the air, adding to the oppressive heat of the environment.

"Wow, that's strong!"

"Truly worthy of being called the Mizukage!"

"That's terrifying, that power."

The surrounding Hidden Mist ninjas stared in disbelief, utterly astonished. Such a scene was something they had never witnessed before in their lives.

In the next instant, after the lava flow receded, only a huge, serpentine wreck remained on the ground.

"What... what's going on?"

"Did they escape?"

Everyone who saw this was stunned, their eyes scanning the surroundings.

“No, it’s a substitution jutsu.” Mei Terumi shook her head and said, “Using your own summoning beast as a substitute? No wonder you’re one of the legendary Sannin.”

"If this is your praise, then I am honored to accept it." Orochimaru's figure slowly emerged from the ground elsewhere. The scene resembled something out of a supernatural horror movie. "However, if it was just a question before... I am now certain. You and Yuhi Mugetsu definitely have some kind of connection. This technique, and that strange hand seal method, are all unique to him."

"Well, so what?" Mei Terumi smiled, a slight curve to her lips.

"If those guys find out, your Hidden Mist Village will be in big trouble," Orochimaru sneered. "If I'm not mistaken, they should have already contacted you."

Those guys...

Mei Terumi paused, a look of emotion crossing her face.

“Then, let’s make a deal.” Orochimaru’s face showed an expression of complete control. However, just as his gaze turned to the side, he suddenly froze.

Huh?What about people?

The boy he had just been protecting from the lava was now nowhere to be seen. And given his condition, there was no way he could have escaped right under his nose. What on earth happened?

"Are you looking for him?" A voice suddenly interrupted, startling Orochimaru. "You? It's you?"

"Long time no see, Orochimaru." From the shadows, Mugetsu's figure slowly emerged. "I heard you've been engrossed in your research on the Impure World Reincarnation lately? Any progress?"

"Heh, that's a face I really miss." Orochimaru feigned composure, but inwardly he was already plotting his escape. "The Hokage of Konoha, actually showing up in the Hidden Mist Village?"

"Let's make a deal," Wuyue shrugged and said calmly, "Since you didn't see me today, I'll let you leave."

"Oh? It seems like I've gotten the better deal this way." Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "Is this a good idea to do this against Konoha's enemies?"

"So, before I change my mind." Wu Yue's eyes turned cold, and her powerful aura erupted instantly. "Get out of here!"

Kara, Kara.

The ground around him instantly cracked open like a spiderweb. A powerful shockwave spread wildly outwards from the center.

"What a ferocious chakra!"

"How terrifying..."

"There's simply no way to resist!"

Apart from Orochimaru and Mei Terumi, the other ninjas present were completely unable to resist and immediately knelt down on both knees.

"You really have become a monster!" Orochimaru bit his lip, finally snapping out of his fear. "I'm really looking forward to seeing you next time." Without another word, he turned and left.

387 The Punishment of Love

"Phew, is that alright?" Withdrawing her imposing aura, Wuyue slowly turned around. "I've come uninvited, and I hope Lord Mizukage will forgive me. Hmm, my target is that traitor. However, it will be a bit difficult to keep him here."

His words were, of course, a high-sounding explanation. The real purpose was for the Hidden Mist ninja around him to hear. Otherwise, it would inevitably raise suspicions that a Konoha Kage was in the Land of Water, even if the two were already allies.

"No, it's all thanks to you, Hokage-sama." Mei Terumi gave a formulaic smile and said, "If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to scare him with my strength alone."

"Not at all. Lord Mizukage is strong enough." Waving his hand, Mugetsu said, "Even if the opponent was one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, he would have had to retreat."

Mutual flattery! Yes, this is genuine mutual flattery. Even if the other party is secretly his little slave girl, on the surface, she is still the village's shadow, and he has to give her some face.

"You're too kind, Hokage." Mei Terumi shook her head and said, "Since you're already here, please come to our village for a chat."

"Ah, then I'll have to bother you." Wuyue readily agreed.

Half an hour later, in the Hidden Mist Village.

Inside the Terumi family estate, Terumi, as the owner, looked at the young-looking Mirai with a hint of envy in her eyes. "This is your daughter, isn't she? Uzumaki Mirai? She's very cute." Her gaze shifted to Mugetsu with a touch of resentment.

From a common perspective, for a woman, bearing children for the man she loves should be the greatest romance, right? At least, in Mei Terumi's heart, this was her long-cherished wish.

Unfortunately, although the two maintained contact over the years and would occasionally meet secretly, she remained unprepared. Seeing another woman bear a child for her lover naturally made her unhappy.

"Nice to meet you." The little girl bowed politely and asked, "Is this pretty auntie also Papa's girlfriend?"

"Papa?" Mei Terumi was clearly taken aback by this unusual address. Her face was full of confusion.

"Well, I guess you could call it her verbal tic," Wu Yue smiled and said, "It means 'father.' But she always mispronounces it."

∶。

“I see!” Mei Terumi nodded, then turned her gaze to Pakura. “A Sunagakure user of Scorching Release?!”

"Thanks to your Hidden Mist Village, I am now a maid in Konoha," Yekura said coldly.

"Is it that matter?" Mei Terumi paused, then said, "I'm sorry, that wasn't an order I gave."

“I know, that’s why I’m here.” Ye Cang glanced at her and said, “But don’t expect me to be calm with you. Goodbye.” With that, he stood up and left with Mirai and Shiro.

"She seems quite unfriendly to me." Mei Terumi looked at Mugetsu with a peculiar gaze.

"Ah, because of how I was treated before, so..."

"It's not like before. That look in your eyes clearly comes from a woman whose beloved possession has been taken away. You two aren't just ordinary master and servant, are you?"

"This is similar to yours."

No wonder.

"So, what do you plan to do with this child?" Mei Terumi glanced at Kimimaro, who was sitting upright to the side, seemingly indifferent to everything.

"I intend to bring him back to Konoha." After a moment of silence, Wuyue said, "You should know my plan. We're a bit short-handed for the time being. If this child can be properly trained, he will be a great asset."

“I see.” Mei Terumi nodded, then added, “Those people came to find me. It seems they’ve persuaded Kumogakure.”

"Hmph." Wuyue sneered, her voice laced with disdain. "If they can't win a direct confrontation, they resort to this tactic. These people are truly desperate. So, have you replied according to my original plan?"

“Yes, I’ve already brought Kisame into their organization.” Mei Terumi nodded and said, “However, it seems I haven’t gained their complete trust.”

"No rush, this is to be expected." Wuyue nodded and said, "Given those guys' cautious nature, they will even hide a lot from their own people."

Take Konan, for example. Even as one of the founders of Akatsuki, many major decisions were kept from her by Obito. She didn't know that these guys were trying to persuade the various ninja villages to join forces against Konoha. No, saying they were joining forces against Konoha isn't quite accurate. Their ultimate goal was still Mugetsu himself.

"So, does that mean we can only wait now?" Mei Terumi asked again after a moment.

"Ah, after all, this is a transformation for us as well." With a smile, Wuyue asked, "How's your progress in the Land of Water?"

"No. The daimyo of the Land of Water is very vigilant; it's practically impossible to infiltrate."

“Then let’s carry out that plan. Coincidentally, I’ve met a suitable candidate today. He’s from your Hidden Mist Village. His name is Momochi Zabuza.”

"That ghost? You mean..."

“That’s right, using someone else to do the dirty work. As long as you tell him the daimyo of the Land of Water’s detailed action plan, it should be easy to succeed. Of course, you can only do this in secret.”

"I understand, that's fine. How about your end?"

"It won't be long before the Land of Fire is mine."

"Now, let's get down to business. Master, here's a loving punishment for your lovely slave."

388 Completely different birthdays

After staying in Kirigakure for several days, Mugetsu and his companions returned to Konoha.

There were only three of them when they left. But when they returned, there were two more. This surprised Kushina and the other girls who were greeting them at the village entrance. "Who are these two...?"

"Well, we found him." Wuyue scratched his head and said, "An orphan from Kirigakure. He has a bloodline limit, so he will be a great help to us in the future."

"Your luck is quite impressive." Kushina's lips twitched slightly as she said, "Children with bloodline limits can be found just like that."

"Mommy, Mommy." Upon seeing her mother, Wei Lai rushed over enthusiastically and hugged her tightly. "I missed you."

"Hmph, I don't believe you." Kushina was clearly not buying it, pinching her cheeks with both hands. "If you missed me, wouldn't you have come back sooner?"

"I... I want to too." Future looked aggrieved and said with a droopy face, "But Papa, Papa said that she has to stay with that pretty aunt 740 for a few more days."

"Pfft, when did I say that!" Wuyue quickly denied, "I've spoiled you for nothing, and you actually used me as a shield! Ye Cang, quickly tell them that's not how it happened!"

silence.

Ye Cang turned his head away without saying a word.

"Damn it, you guys conspired together, didn't you!" Wu Yue was on the verge of a breakdown, feeling ashamed at the resentful looks from the girls.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Fortunately, Kushina didn't pursue the matter further and changed the subject. "Don't forget what day it is today. Hurry home, there's a surprise waiting for you."

Yes, today is indeed a special day. According to the correct date, it's her fourth birthday. And the surprise she mentioned was indeed discovered when Wuyue returned to the mansion.

"Yo-ho, everyone. Did you miss me?" Miyu, who had never returned since becoming the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, suddenly appeared in front of Mugetsu and the others.

"Mimi-mama!" Mirai exclaimed, rushing over immediately. "Mirai missed you so much!"

︴

In this family, whether it's Tsunade, Hakura, Saori, or Rina Yui, they all treat Mirai like their own daughter. But if we're talking about who's closest to Mirai, it has to be Miyu.

The principle is simple: good cooking skills can not only win a man's heart, but also a child's. Since Miyu left Konoha for the Land of Fire, the Mugetsu family's standard of living has dropped several notches.

"Ah, Mommy missed you too." Miyu reached out and hugged the future's petite body tightly. "Little baby, let me rub against you." She pressed her cheek against the other's face and gently rubbed against it twice.

"No wonder the young lady said it was a surprise." Looking at this heartwarming scene, Wuyue smiled as well. "Even I didn't hear a thing."
