The technology tree of the ninja world is rather crooked, and its development trend is also very special. The reason is the distinction between the five major countries and the small countries. The daimyo and the nobles are concerned about interests rather than promoting industrialization. Therefore, even in the Fire Country, which has the highest comprehensive technological level, many towns are still relying on people to pull plows to cultivate the land, but a few factories have already deviated and reached a certain level of electric power technology.

Among them, the Kingdom of Water, the Kingdom of Wind and many small countries are definitely the most backward. For example, the Kingdom of Wind is really poor and has not dug up any oil, so it is extremely difficult for it to develop science and technology. Those small countries have no such opportunity at all. They can survive because the five major countries regard them as buffer zones. Developing science and technology is a difficult task that is not something that the daimyos and nobles of those small countries can do at all. The situation of the Kingdom of Water is due to its own internal reasons.

Even though it is listed as one of the five major countries, the only thing that makes the Water Kingdom stronger than the Wind Kingdom is the Mist Village. Looking at the specific situation of the Water Kingdom as a whole, it is actually several adjacent large islands and many smaller islands nearby. The main economy is composed of agriculture and fisheries. The shipbuilding industry can only produce and repair large sailing ships. Steam-powered motor sailing ships cannot be produced in the Water Kingdom and need to be imported from the Fire Kingdom.

Logically speaking, as the leader of all overseas countries, the Water Kingdom is like this. As the Sea Kingdom where the Mist Village used to carry out commissioned tasks, it is normal to say that the business trade is good, but what's going on with this modern port in front of us?

In the eyes of Mei Terumi and the Mist Ninjas that accompanied her, the Sea Kingdom port built by the Rainbow Kingdom was not only made of reinforced concrete, but was also equipped with manual loaders and neat construction areas. The port security personnel responsible for maintaining security and order appeared to be elite, and the entire port was in good order. It could be said that in the ninja world, except for the Rainbow Kingdom and the Sea Kingdom, the ports of other countries could not compare with it at all.

Even the Mist Ninjas who had come to the Sea Kingdom to carry out commissioned missions before, felt unbelievable when looking at the Sea Kingdom port that was completely different from their own impression. They didn't know why the Sea Kingdom had changed so much after not seeing it for only one or two years!

"…It is indeed the port of the Sea Country. It seems that we have come to the right place this time!"

Seeing the prosperous port that was incomparable to her impression, including the ports of the Fire Country, and looking at the 10,000-ton steel cruise ship she was on, Mei Terumi felt a surge of anticipation in her heart. She bit her lips lightly with her silver teeth and exhaled, looking at the two teams of Mist Ninja behind her with a smile on her face and ordered: "Everyone, from now on, I will be in charge of everything. You are not allowed to make any rash moves without my orders. Just remember what you see!"

For Mei Terumi, she naturally knew that the two teams of Mist Ninja following her were actually the backbone of the old master's faction. The two Jonins and the six special Jonins could be said to be the elite backbone of the old master's faction. When combined with her, a quasi-kage-level powerhouse, there was a good chance that even the upper-kage-level powerhouse would evacuate.

Similarly, the old master brought out the elite backbones of his own department. In addition to agreeing with the decisive actions of Mei Terumi, he also had the idea of ​​exploring this mysterious force. Mei Terumi herself understood that after all, she had only been a jonin for a few years, and her energy was poured into the two major bloodline limits of [Lao Shiki] and [Boiling Shiki]. She had not had time to cultivate her own trusted subordinates. These elite Mist Ninjas only obeyed the orders of the old master and her command.

Mei Terumi knew the reason. She had not taken it to heart before. After all, she wanted to win the loyalty of the special jonin or even the formal jonin when they first met. Not to mention in a ninja village like the Mist where the relationship between companions is cold, even in the Konoha Village, such a thing would be difficult to happen, unless you are a very famous Kage-level strongman. Mei Terumi's strength has not yet reached the Kage level, and her reputation in the Mist Village is not too loud.

However, Mei Terumi had already vaguely realized that the mysterious force she was looking for was no small matter, so she had to show her leader's aura and make the Mist Ninjas behind her obey her orders, otherwise it would be very troublesome if any problems arose.

"Yes!"*N

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's order, the two jonin and six special jonin obeyed without hesitation. Although they were not loyal to Mei Terumi, they were the elite of the old master and naturally understood that Mei Terumi had been regarded as the next leader. Moreover, they were under the command of Mei Terumi on this trip. Although they could not immediately obey Mei Terumi's orders, it was normal for them to obey the commander's orders.

Especially now, looking at the port of the Sea Kingdom that has undergone tremendous changes, anyone with a normal mind would know that this trip is probably not ordinary. With Mei Terumi's order not to let them do anything rash, the Mist Ninjas who were tasked with the reconnaissance mission also breathed a sigh of relief!

……

Later, the cruise ship stopped at a pier on one side of the port. Mei Terumi and several Mist Ninjas disguised themselves and blended into the crowd. Then, led by two guides, they took two rented carriages and headed somewhere.

This was also something that was very novel to Mei Terumi and several other Mist Ninjas. In the Ninja World, it seemed like a means of transportation had appeared, but that was the thunder car (steam locomotive) that existed in the territories of the Fire Nation Daimyo and several great nobles a few years ago. The main means of transportation in other places were ox carts and horse carts. When ninjas were on missions, most of them traveled directly on foot, unless they were on a caravan escort mission, they would take turns to rest and maintain their condition.

After all, ninjas with extraordinary powers ignore most terrains when they are traveling, and their speed can even be maintained at the speed of cars on ordinary highways. Unless they have signed a contract with a very rare flying summoned beast, a ninja who has mastered the skills of treading water and climbing trees can completely go to the mission location by crossing mountains and ridges. Ordinary people will be ignored. Daimyos and nobles have special sedan bearers to carry their sedans when they travel, and most merchants rely on ox carts and horse carriages to travel.

Fortunately, the curiosity of Mei Terumi and the others was just novelty. They were more concerned about the situation along the way. Then they saw the rich and peaceful life of many civilians in the Sea Kingdom. The coming and going was a prosperous scene, which made the Mist Ninja who was still shrouded in blood mist silent. Many different thoughts arose in their minds. It was not until the carriage brought them to a manor that they got off and observed the surrounding situation.

When Mei Terumi told a few of her Mist Ninja subordinates to wait and she walked into the reception hall of the manor alone, she found Li Mo sitting in the hall, standing up to welcome her as he saw her coming:

"Ms. Terumi Mei, you can call me Li Mo. Welcome!"

Chapter 33 Meeting and Disclosure

"Mr. Li Mo?! I am Mei Terumi, a jonin from the Mist Village. I hope to know what you want to do to the Mist Village and the Land of Water through this meeting."

Seeing Li Mo appear and welcome her with a kind attitude, Terumi Mei's beautiful eyes flickered and her mind was racing, but she didn't remember who such a handsome guy like Li Mo was. But on the surface she was still very polite and bowed to him, then sat down at Li Mo's invitation, then looked at him and spoke.

Mei Terumi actually had a good impression of Li Mo's words as soon as they met. Although she was not as sensitive as the older women who were eager to get married after nearly ten years, she would have a certain degree of favorability towards people of the opposite sex with good looks and normal aesthetic sense as soon as they met. She didn't become a blind licker who obeyed his orders, but she could still communicate with him in a relatively polite tone. A senior ninja like Mei Terumi, who had the power of life and death over ordinary people, would speak to the other party in a relatively friendly tone.

Of course, although Mei Terumi was polite and thought the other party was a rare handsome man, if Li Mo really wanted to make an excessive reaction, this smiling beauty would definitely not show mercy. After all, she was from the Mist Village, which was famous for its coldness and bloodthirstiness, and she was promoted to Jonin for her military exploits in the Third Ninja World War. To say that she was a soft-hearted person would probably make those ninjas who died at her hands feel wronged.

However, Mei Terumi certainly didn't realize that Li Mo, who used methods such as [Absolute] and [Breath Conservation] to make himself look not much different from a nobleman, was actually a top-level strongman who could defeat the entire Mist Village with one hand!

"What are you doing to the Mist Ninja and the Water Kingdom?!"

Hearing what Mei Terumi said, Li Mo couldn't help but burst out laughing. He looked at the future Fifth Mizukage with a playful look in his eyes and said directly, "No, to be precise, what I did to the Land of Water and the Mist Village was not as brutal as what you, the Third and Fourth Mizukage, were turned into puppets by illusions and then did during the Third Shinobi World War and now..."

Well, Li Mo had no intention of playing any guessing game with Mei Ming. He now had enough confidence to face a single large ninja village. Even if it was the Mist Village controlled by Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, he was not afraid and was eager to try.

In the past, due to his own strength and the complicated relationship with the ninja world, Li Mo was very wise to stay in the Rainbow Country to build high walls, store food, and slowly plan to become king. But now, Li Mo admits that the five major ninja villages and various forces in the ninja world make him a little confused. But it doesn't mean that he has to be restrained when facing a single major ninja village. He has already arranged a certain number of manpower in the Water Country and the Mist Village.

After all, the geographical location of the Water Country is overseas, and the Mist Village does not often go to the Ninja Continent. It can be said that without the participation of Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu, the Mist Village is actually very suitable for developing overseas and paying attention to the Ninja Continent. When the Third Mizukage was not controlled by Uchiha Madara's Mangekyō illusion, he was planning to join forces with other ninja villages to cut a piece of meat from Konoha, and if it didn't work, he would decisively adopt pirate tactics at sea.

Unfortunately, the Third Mizukage died in front of Uchiha Madara, and the Fourth Mizukage was controlled by Uchiha Madara, who had only a little time left, and then was taken over by Uchiha Obito who opened the Mangekyō Sharingan. He was unable to make any waves and became a puppet. Then, the blood mist of the Mist Village expanded to the point where everyone was in panic. It can be said that the Mist Village, which had been strong before, was weakened to an extremely weak level.

Now, Li Mo directly pointed out this matter to Mei Ming. He now has enough confidence, and he feels that he should choose a big ninja village as the target. Then the Water Country and the Mist Village are very suitable targets!

……

"…Puppet? Sir, what do you mean by that?!"

Faced with Li Mo's blunt words, the smile on Terumi Mei's face disappeared instantly. Her beautiful eyes flashed a cold light as she looked at Li Mo. While paying attention to the situation in the hall of the manor, she questioned in an exceptionally cold voice.

puppet?

The Third and Fourth Mizukage were turned into puppets by illusion? ? ?

This news undoubtedly caused a huge wave of uproar in Mei Terumi's heart. Emotionally, she really wanted to say that there was a 99% chance that the other party was talking nonsense. However, her reason made her feel that this seemingly absurd thing might be the truth.

The behavior of the Third and Fourth Mizukages would be confusing to people in other ninja villages, let alone the Mist Village. Many people felt that something was wrong when the Fourth Mizukage, who replaced the Third Mizukage after the Third Ninja World War, acted even more recklessly.

It should be said that the style of the Third Mizukage was to carry out the Blood Mist Trial in the Ninja School of the Mist Village, forcing those trained Mist Ninjas to fight each other. The trained Mist Ninja Genin were indeed cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, but he was actually taking the blame for the defeat of the Mist Village in the Second Ninja World War. Otherwise, if there were enough funds and resources, no one would want to use the Blood Mist Trial to select the so-called elite ninjas.

You would really think that no one in the Mist Village opposed the Blood Mist Trial, but the Third Mizukage and even the top leaders of the Mist Village acquiesced to the launch of the Blood Mist Trial. It was because the economy of the Mist Village and the number of commissioned missions made it impossible for them to support the increasing number of Mist Ninjas. They had to use cruel methods to eliminate more than half of the ninja school graduates in the graduation examination of the ninja school. The remaining small half became real Mist Ninjas, and their cruel and ruthless style only made up for the number of Mist Ninjas lost due to occasional missions.

In other words, the Third Mizukage had no choice but to do this, and the smart people of the Mist Ninja could barely understand it. However, during the Third Ninja World War, the Third Mizukage made all kinds of mysterious moves, going to war with the Sand Village and then with Konoha, suffering heavy losses and eventually retreating to the Water Country.

It was the various bizarre operations of the Third Mizukage and the failure to obtain enough spoils that caused the Mist Village to suffer heavy losses. When the Three-Tails Jinchuriki Yagura launched a coup d'etat and killed the Third Mizukage and took over himself, most of the Mist Ninjas still had hope. Then the Fourth Mizukage Yagura was controlled by the Mangekyo illusion, and instead of allowing the Mist Village, which had suffered heavy losses, to recuperate, he directly launched the Blood Mist Strategy, turning the bloodline limit ninjas and mystic ninjas of the Mist Village into corpses one by one.

There is no doubt that the cruel behavior of the Fourth Mizukage has caused more and more Mist Ninjas to panic, but because the Fourth Mizukage Yagura is a Kage-level strong man and has the Three-Tails Isobu's Jinchuriki, no strong man in the Mist Ninja Village dares to say that he can defeat the other party. However, there are more and more doubts about the Fourth Mizukage Yagura's behavior. For example, Mei Terumi has had speculations in her heart, but they have not been confirmed.

Now, Li Mo directly pointed out the key issue. Mei Terumi did not immediately believe what he said, but the doubts in her heart were inevitable. She was staring at Li Mo with a conflicted heart, doubting whether what he said was true!

"Tsk tsk, the meaning is very clear, go find the ninja in your Mist Ninja that has a [Baiyan] and you will know whether what I said is true or not!"

Facing Terumei Mei's cold gaze, Li Mo spread his hands and said helplessly that what he said were all the real truth, but whether the other party believed it or not was another matter. What made Li Mo feel was that the other party had a hint of malice towards him. Obviously, the beautiful ninja Terumei Mei would not show any mercy to the handsome Li Mo when it came to her side's key interests.

This was also what Li Mo worried about when he was weak. In the cruel ninja world where ninjas aged from a few years to several dozen years old would go to the battlefield, the weak had no right to speak. The consequence of speaking nonsense would be that they would be caught, tortured, or even secretly executed!

……

"...Mr. Li Mo, I'll take my leave first!"

What concerned Li Mo a little was that Mei Terumi actually resisted the urge to grab Li Mo. Instead, she looked at him with a smile, bowed and seemed to be turning around and leaving, obviously preparing to go back to report the news.

"No need to say goodbye yet, I'll give you another gift!"

Seeing the decisive action of Mei Terumi and feeling that the other party's malice was restrained and making the decision, Li Mo raised his eyebrows and sighed secretly. Then he stood up and took a step forward, walked in front of Mei Terumi and pointed his finger at the other's forehead.

For Mei Terumi, the reason she restrained her thoughts on attacking Li Mo was not because she was soft-hearted or because she was unable to walk when she saw the handsome guy. It was simply because she was not sure she could deal with Li Mo and the mysterious force behind him. Thinking about the other party's undisguised arrangement of a huge steel ship to take them to the Sea Kingdom, as well as the huge changes in the Sea Kingdom, she suppressed her thoughts on subduing Li Mo.

Anyway, Mei Terumi has a very good vision and perspective. If it were an ordinary Mist Ninja, after hearing Li Mo's truth, he would either think that the other party was trying to sow discord and not believe it, or he might want to directly capture the other party and torture him for information. However, Mei Terumi suppressed the idea of ​​taking action herself. All she wanted to do was to say goodbye first and notify the old master, preparing to let the old master mobilize his forces to investigate the details of the Fourth Mizukage and this mysterious organization that has considerable power in the Sea Kingdom.

Even if what Li Mo gave was true information, in the eyes of Mei Terumi, she had to verify it carefully, because it was related to the Fourth Mizukage of the Mist Village. Moreover, he said such important information without any concealment. Mei Terumi believed that the other party's power might have penetrated into the Mist Village. If they were not alert to this mysterious organization, the Mist Village might have disappeared during the generation of Hashirama Senju.

However, what Mei Terumi had never expected was that Li Mo, who made her feel no danger, suddenly appeared in front of her and tried to touch her forehead with one hand. The instinctive sign of danger made her respond without hesitation!

Chapter 34: Conquering Mei Terumi

Substitution!

When she found out that Li Mo was actually a powerful hidden warrior who was preparing to attack her, Mei Terumi instinctively activated one of the three body techniques that she had practiced to perfection, a substitute technique that was not outdated even for a senior ninja or even a Kage-level warrior!

Although the Three Body Jutsu, which is standard for Naruto's Genin, seems to be of a very low level, belonging to the lowest level [E] level ninjutsu, it does not mean that the Three Body Jutsu is useless. On the contrary, the Three Body Jutsu can produce astonishing effects even in the hands of a Jonin or even Kage-level strongman. It is not inferior to, and may even be more effective than, the Flickering Body Jutsu or Shadow Clone Jutsu performed by ordinary Chunin or special Jonin.

The reason is very simple. The Three Body Techniques is the same as other ninjutsu. Ninjas will make improvements to it according to their own situations. For example, the [Shadow Clone Technique], [Water Clone Technique], [Lightning Clone Technique] and other ninjutsu based on [Clone Technique], one of the Three Body Techniques, is a very typical example. And the [Substitution Technique] has been developed by the strong into [Wood Substitution Technique], [Orochimaru Style Substitution Technique] and other tricks. It can be seen that in the eyes of top ninjas, the Three Body Techniques can be continuously improved to form ninjutsu that better suits their own style.

The Substitution Technique that Mei Terumi performed was naturally not like Orochimaru's, which was improved to the point that it did not look like the [Substitution Technique] at all. She had already reached the strength of a quasi-shadow, and it took her almost an instant to perform the Technique. She did not need to use special Substitution Wood like some ninjas. Even if the range of her [Substitution Technique] would not exceed fifty meters, the space in the manor hall was completely sufficient at this moment.

However, Mei Terumi had never expected that her substitution technique, which she had used to activate with chakra at the thought of something, could not be executed at all at this moment. Not only did she stand there in a daze, not moving at all, but the chakra in her body was as still as dead water, allowing Li Mo to gently point his finger at her forehead!

"It's a good idea to use the substitution technique to escape, but it's a pity that you're facing me..."

Seeing Terumi Mei's stiff posture as if she wanted to say something but couldn't even utter a word, and could only stare at her cute appearance with her beautiful eyes, Li Mo, who had only used the extraordinary power of [Chakra] to leave a backdoor for the Otsutsuki clan, smiled indifferently and whispered: "But I won't kill you. After fusing with the [Seed of the Blazing Sun], just become mine~!"

As Li Mo finished his words, the light of the [Seed of the Fiery Sun] in his hand merged into Terumi Mei's forehead, and the beautiful ninja became dazed and fainted. Li Mo held her waist and legs with both hands, hugged her carefully and sat her on a chair in the hall, quietly waiting for her to wake up.

Anyway, when Li Mo found out that the person he had arranged some arrangements in the Land of Water and the Mist Village was Mei Terumi, he remembered this beautiful ninja with outstanding appearance and figure, and even her own potential value was very high. Naturally, he planned to subdue her to his side, and take over the Land of Water and the Mist Village at the same time. It would be a good opportunity for him to let Mei Terumi, a legitimate Mist Village ninja, take action, and fool other ninja villages by openly replacing the old and new Mizukage in the Mist Village.

It was precisely because she was unaware of Li Mo's plan that Mei Terumi heard the shocking news from him as soon as they met, about the Third and Fourth Mizukage being controlled by illusions. This meant that no matter whether she wanted to take action or leave first to make sure, Li Mo would not let her go. On the contrary, Li Mo was prepared to make Mei Terumi his own person, which would be of great benefit to his next plan.

As for Mei Terumi herself, she will definitely not lose but make a huge profit. She has fused the [Seed of the Fiery Sun], which is enough to greatly enhance her own strength and potential. Moreover, with Li Mo's support behind her, Terumi's experience of becoming the Fifth Mizukage will probably be much smoother than the plot of the original Naruto!

……

Although Li Mo attacked Mei Ming, the Mist Ninjas waiting outside the hall were completely unaware. Although they were at least Special Jonin, which would be considered elites in any ninja village, the gap between them and Li Mo was simply too huge.

Li Mo only had a thought, and different spaces were formed between the hall and the outside. Several Mist Ninjas had no idea that the rising star of the Mist Ninja Village who was leading them was taken down by Li Mo at the first sight. They were paying attention to the general situation of the manor while thinking in their hearts, not knowing how to report to the old master when they returned to the Mist Ninja Village.

For the Mist Ninjas who belong to the faction of the old master, their treatment is much better than that of ordinary Mist Ninjas. As core members, they are extremely loyal to the old master. Otherwise, at the old master's order, their two jonin and six special jonin would not have given up the commissioned tasks they might have to perform and followed Terumi Mei, the future leader whom they had only heard of in the past but did not know much about. The reason is their respect and trust for the old master.

At the very least, Mei Terumi's performance along the way proved that she was by no means a vase with only good looks. When she arrived at the port of the Sea Country, she showed a cautious and careful attitude, which made several Mist Ninjas who followed her agree with her. Moreover, they subconsciously regarded this trip as a contact with this mysterious force, and had not thought of treating the other party as an enemy directly and taking a defensive attitude.

Now, several Mist Ninjas didn't notice at all that their leader had been subdued by Li Mo. They looked at the sumptuous snacks and tea placed in front of them with some discomfort, tasting them while observing other situations in the manor!

"Wu...you? How long are you going to hold me?"

More than ten minutes later, Mei Terumi, who had successfully merged with the [Seed of the Fiery Sun], woke up. When she saw herself being held in Li Mo's arms, her pretty face suddenly turned an alluring crimson red. She then made a symbolic struggle before she coquettishly whispered to Li Mo who was holding her.

At this time, Mei Terumi had completely integrated the trace of soul power contained in the [Seed of the Blazing Sun]. She was in the same situation as Tsunade and Samui. She had already developed a great sense of closeness to Li Mo. Moreover, compared to Tsunade, a senior Kage-level powerhouse, Mei Terumi, who was still in the quasi-Kage stage, integrated the [Seed of the Blazing Sun] faster. Li Mo could clearly see that her skin had become noticeably whiter, and her pair of emerald-like beautiful eyes were like the purest emerald.

This means that Mei Terumi is also beginning to improve her own potential and strength. According to Li Mo's own judgment based on this period of observation, she is expected to break through to the Kage level within three days, and activate the likes of [Sage Body] or other [Bloodline Limit]. Moreover, as Mei Terumi has developed two bloodline limit abilities herself, she is expected to improve her own strength quickly, and in the future she may even be stronger than Scorch Release Yegura.

Of course, Li Mo is very welcome to this kind of beautiful ninja with strength and potential. His capture of Mei Terumi not only adds a future Kage-level or even super-Kage-level powerhouse, but more importantly, it is a good opportunity to intervene in the Mist Village and even control the entire Water Kingdom!

"Okay! It's time to sort out the matter of your visit to the Sea Kingdom!"

Facing Terumi Mei's charming and shy posture, Li Mo suppressed his anger and hesitated for a while. After kissing and taking advantage of her a lot, he put Terumi Mei down and spoke to her.

"Well, Mo, what are you going to do? Do you want my help?"

Hearing Li Mo's words, Terumi Mei, whose beautiful eyes seemed to be dripping with water, came back to her senses. She quickly tidied up her clothes and looked at Li Mo with some curiosity. She very considerately asked the man who had wanted to subdue and torture her not long ago.

"Don't worry, I will prepare a satisfactory answer for you. The old master shouldn't have any doubts, or even if he does, nothing will change!"

In response to Mei Terumi's initiative to ask, Li Mo gently reached out and patted the beautiful woman's graceful curves, causing Mei Terumi to let out a low cry. Then she heard Li Mo's natural explanation, telling her not to worry and not to worry about the old master's problem.

After all, Li Mo was very familiar with the situation in the Mist Village, and naturally understood that Mei Terumi was a rising star in the old master's faction. With her current strength, it was not impossible for her to unify the old master's faction, but the ninja world did not completely emphasize strength, so having a suitable excuse was naturally very important. What's more, what Li Mo had to do was not only to let Mei Terumi unify the strength under the old master, but the Mist Village and even the Water Kingdom were his targets, so naturally he needed a more suitable excuse to intervene.

After listening to Li Mo's words, Mei Terumi was thoughtful but soon smiled. Then, under Li Mo's arrangement, she explained to several Mist Ninjas that she would temporarily live in the Sea Kingdom for half a month, and then she got along well with Li Mo!

……

More than half a month later, Mei Terumi had to disguise herself and return to the Mist Village. She and several other Mist Ninjas who accompanied her had obviously changed a lot. Their strength had been greatly improved and they were at two completely different levels from before they arrived in the Sea Kingdom.

For example, Mei Terumi, not only has she changed from a girl to a woman, but her own strength has also directly stepped into the Kage level. Not only have the power of her original [Boiling Release] and [Melting Release] bloodline limits increased greatly, but the [Sage Body] that has been successfully awakened makes her considered a master among the Kage-level strongmen. I'm afraid she is even stronger than Mei Terumi when she appeared in the original plot of "Naruto", when she was the Fifth Mizukage.

As for the two teams of Mist Ninja elites, Li Mo generously bestowed them with the [Spark Seed]. Although they are not as good as the [Moonlight Seed] and the [Sunlight Seed], their strength has greatly improved. One qualified formal jonin even jumped to the stage of elite jonin, and another formal jonin is also hovering on the threshold of elite jonin, while the strength of the other six special jonin has increased, and it is expected that it will only take some time to become formal jonin.

It is no exaggeration to say that the changes in the strength of the elite Mist Ninjas of these two teams alone can be regarded as a new small mountain in the Mist Village. If the Kage-level strongman Mei Terumi comes forward and combines the related Mist Ninjas together, I am afraid that they can immediately become independent from the old master's lineage and fight against the Fourth Mizukage. The other ninja clans and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Village are probably not the opponents of Mei Terumi at all.

In response to this, Li Mo did not choose to raise the banner directly. Instead, he told Mei Terumi to continue according to the itinerary and return directly to the Water Country. He also arrived at the Water Country with his men, but did not go directly with Mei Terumi to see the old master. Instead, he arranged for some people to infiltrate the Mist Village in the capacity of a mission commissioner.

Afterwards, Terumi Mei, who quietly asked to see the old master, looked at the old master who seemed to be always getting old, and after respectfully bowing to the old master, he spoke to the old master and said something that shocked him:

"Master Yuanshi, during this trip, we found out the general situation of that mysterious organization. They are the power of the exiled descendants of the former Daimyo of the Land of Water..."

Chapter 35: The Lunch Box of the Daimyo of the Land of Water

It has to be said that Li Mo was greatly influenced by the world of Naruto. His side as an ordinary person in the present world before traveling through time was quickly washed away in the world of Naruto, and what followed was the posture of a cold and cunning strong man.

The report between Mei Terumi and the old master was naturally inferred by Li Mo based on his understanding of Neon before the time travel and the situation in the Ninja World. It was the most suitable means to control the Water Country. It was like he pretended to be the heir of the Daimyo of the Rainbow Country, replaced him and obtained the entire Rainbow Country, and covered himself with the name of the Daimyo of the Rainbow Country to trade with the Sea Country, the Water Country and other countries. Otherwise, it would be difficult to open up trade routes.

In the world of Naruto, why were they still using cold weapons during the Third Ninja World War, but there was a trend towards electrification at the beginning of the plot, and then in the so-called Fu Ren Chuan, technological ninja tools and a large number of modern industrial products continued to emerge. Wasn't it because of the obstruction of the daimyos and nobles of various countries before?

Even in the Land of Fire, the daimyo and nobles stubbornly hold on to the interests they take for granted and refuse to let go. For example, unless the merchants are wealthy and protected by powerful ninjas, most merchants are just mobile wallets in the eyes of the daimyo and nobles. Expecting those merchants who are regarded as mobile wallets to engage in industrialization in the ninja world is also thinking too much.

The main reason why the ninja world entered the industrialization stage and began to produce industrial products and scientific ninja tools on a large scale was that after the Fourth Ninja World War in the original anime of "Naruto", the five major ninja villages reached an agreement to form the Ninja Alliance. In addition, there were two male protagonists who successfully sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki with the help of a grandfather, which made those who had experienced the Fourth Ninja World War fear them. With more than ten years of peaceful living environment, the industry was widely popularized.

Similarly, if Li Mo directly raised the banner of the Rainbow Country and interfered in the Water Country and the Mist Village, unless he was strong enough to face the entire ninja world, otherwise, if he cleaned out the daimyo and nobles and turned the ninja into an army, he would definitely be met with unanimous hostility from all parties in the ninja world. And if it turned out to be an internal dispute among the daimyo of the Water Country, then no one except the Water Country would be willing to wade into such muddy water.

After all, the daimyos and even the nobles of various countries have common interests in this regard. For example, when the Kage of each major ninja village is replaced by a new one, a notice is usually sent directly to the daimyo, and the daimyo is usually very tactful to acknowledge it and then send envoys to the ninja village to talk. Any daimyo who dares to intervene rashly is probably worried that he will not die of illness or an accident.

Therefore, when the old master heard what Mei Terumi said, he felt a little strange, but he did not dare to really investigate the truth. At this time, Li Mo was already in the capital of the Water Kingdom, ready to perform a battle for the throne for others!

………………

The capital of the kingdom of water

As one of the five major countries, the Kingdom of Water, its capital is really not too large in scale. It is built in the middle of another more suitable large island away from the island where the Mist Village is located. The city was built along the waterways inside those large islands.

This kind of city is not uncommon. It is common in the Ninja World and even in other worlds that Li Mo traveled through. For example, Venice in the present world before Li Mo traveled through time was a city built on the water.
