Naruto, aspiring to become a well-known figure in the ninja world

"I, the consultant, will teach her carefully~"

"...Sir Gonbei, you can't refuse me this condition again, right?"

Gojo Jieyue said this with a smile, and no one knew what kind of emotions were revealed in those eyes hidden under the black forge.

Is it a shrewd calculation or evil debauchery?

A chill ran down Mei Terumi's spine.

She subconsciously took a step back, hugged her arms with both hands, and looked at Gojo Jieyue and the senior officials of the Konoha camp with vigilance.

Hokage Minato Namikaze looked as if he was used to it, while Danzo and Mitomon looked disgusted.

The high-ranking officials of the Konoha camp all reacted in this way... Terumi Mei's heart sank to the bottom of the sea. Although she had restrained herself from thinking about that... But the reactions of the Konoha people and the words that Gojo Jieyue said, how could they not be right?

'He's after my body!'

Mei Terumi came to the most disgusting conclusion for herself.

Mei Terumi admitted that her body would be a big plus if she were an ordinary woman, but as a female ninja born in the Hidden Mist Village, it is undoubtedly a burden!

Because, there is a possibility of encountering such a thing. As a trophy, being asked for something by the high-ranking officials of the enemy village... It makes people feel sick just thinking about it.

However, if I show resistance at this critical juncture, it will only anger Gojo Jieyue, which will naturally lead him to come up with more extreme ideas.

It can only be rejected by Lord Gonbei through diplomatic means.

Mei Terumi turned sideways and looked at Gonbei with a hidden but hopeful look.

Her talent as a ninja was among the best in the entire ninja world. And with the end of the Blood Mist regime, the two bloodline limits she carried were no longer a sin, but a treasure of the Hidden Mist.

In this situation, if the village still chooses to hold her as a hostage in Konoha, then there will really be no hope for the Hidden Mist Village!

Gojo Kegetsu threw an extremely difficult multiple-choice question to Gonbei.

His expression changed again and again.

From "ten" to "one", it seems that the price that Kirigakure has to pay will be much less, but anyone with a discerning eye knows what Mei Terumi means to the new Kirigakure.

Outstanding talent, dual bloodline... If nothing unexpected happens, in a few years, Mei Terumi will be able to stand at the pinnacle of Kirigakure's combat power and become one of the last faces of Kirigakure.

But if it is handed over to Konoha... even if it's only for three years, what will Mei Terumi experience in these three years?

Gonbei turned his head and met the hopeful eyes of Mei Terumi.

His heart trembled suddenly and he subconsciously withdrew his gaze. He really didn't have the courage to bear such hope.

"If this civil strife had not occurred, the bloodline ninja would have been the impurities that the village would have gradually eliminated."

"Let Mei Terumi stay in Konoha for three years. When she returns to the village, she might be pregnant... Her talent as a ninja will definitely be wasted by Konoha Village."

"If I refuse, Gojo Jieyue will probably put forward even more demanding conditions, considering the strength he has just shown."

"In this case, why not just go all out and send Mei Terumi to Konoha in exchange for greater benefits!"

"I have finally lived up to the village's kindness of not killing you!"

"Mei Terumi!"

This crazy and completely depraved idea came into Gonbei's mind. The more he thought about it, the more he thought this plan was feasible.

What the future of Mei Terumi will be like has nothing to do with him. Even if she really becomes the face of the Hidden Mist Village, it will not be his credit.

But if... right here, right now, we sell Mei Terumi directly to Konoha Village in exchange for some visible benefits at this stage, would it be possible to reverse the decline of signing a contract that would bring humiliation to the village?

After returning to the village, he will be commended by Master Yuanshi, and his family will also be rewarded.

Moreover, before setting off, Master Yuanshi did not emphasize that Mei Terumi was someone who must not be abandoned.

You can do anything as long as there is no prohibition!

Plop—Plop—

The corners of Gonbei's mouth couldn't help but reveal a dark smile. He raised his head again, and under the desperate and unbelievable eyes of Mei Terumi, he spoke:

"Such a treaty...I agree to it!"

"However, I think some details can be modified."

"Oh? You said."

"Counselor Gojo, the ninja you selected is named Mei Terumi, and she is an excellent ninja from our younger generation of Kirigakure."

"Three years is too short, and she has to bear the learning load of the original ten people. I personally think that she can't learn anything in three years. It's better to let her stay in Konoha Village longer and learn more so that she can play a greater role when she returns to Kirigakure in the future."

"Ten years! I think ten years is a very good time for Mei Terumi to study in Konoha."

hiss--

Gojo Kegetsu couldn't help but take a deep breath and glanced a few more times between Gonbei and Mei Terumi.

Is this some weird plot? Why does it seem to be similar to those weird cultural dregs he wrote himself?

For Mei Terumi, her lover is the village, right? But when she needs to make a choice, her lover pushes her to the more powerful village without hesitation in order to seek greater benefits for herself.

Good! Good! Good! It's getting bad.

Originally, Gojo Kezuki didn't have any strange ideas, but after being manipulated by Gonbei, he felt involved in the situation.

But that's not enough. Since he wants to "sell his wife for fame", he must create an irreparable rift between Mei Terumi and her original village.

Gojo Jieyue said with false concern:

"Ahem - is that so? I was not thoughtful enough. But our Konoha is an open, tolerant village that respects individual will. We still need to consult the person's opinion on matters like this."

"Ms. Terumi, are you willing to study in Konoha for ten years?"

Mei Terumi's face turned pale in an instant, her body became a little shaky, and her tenacious ninja way also showed signs of collapsing after Gonbei's words.

"I, I want to stay in Kirigakure, I don't..."

"Terrumi Mei!"

Gonbei shouted sternly, pressing his hands on Terumi Mei's shoulders: "If it's you, you should understand! For the sake of the village, and for your own sake! Think about the Terumi clan behind you, please wake up!"

"I see."

A sad smile appeared on Mei Terumi's face. She worked hard for the village and her dream was to become the Mizukage and make Kirigakure prosperous.

But what greeted her in the end was the village's ruthless use of the family as a threat... using such a cruel method to shatter her fantasy and force her to throw herself into the arms of the enemy village.

Ten years later, who in Kirigakure will remember Mei Terumi? And by then, will her heart be with Kirigakure or Konoha?

Even she doesn't know.

This is truly... the cruel ninja world that can't even tolerate the humblest fantasies.

Mei Terumi sighed, as if she had lost her soul, and said coldly: "I understand."

If there weren't so many people present, she would even... think about sticking to Gojo Jieyue's body and giving him a wicked kiss. She had already been abandoned by the village, so she might as well be a worse person.

"Haha - good! It seems that Miss Terumi really likes Konoha. Don't worry, I will personally help you as your advisor and teach you well in the next ten years! You will definitely fall in love with our Konoha culture!"

Gojo Jieyue patted his chest and promised.

He unceremoniously put his arm around Mei Terumi's shoulders and brought her back to his side.

The process was very smooth, and Mei Terumi didn't show any resistance. She even voluntarily accepted the situation.

Gojo Jieyue understood that this was probably how it would be done.

Gonbei also showed a flattering smile on his face, and his plan was accomplished. Since Gojo Kegetsu liked this, why not give Terumi Mei to him?

Give in to their wishes, and then you will be in trouble. Next, it is Kirigakure's turn!

Gonbei rubbed his hands and said, "Well... to be honest, we at Kirigakure still have one condition that we haven't proposed yet."

"What are the conditions? Tell me now! We, Konoha and Kirigakure, are already close allies. As long as the conditions are not too excessive, I will agree to them on behalf of the Hokage!"

"Well... that is to say, our Kirigakure's Fourth Mizukage, Lord Yagura, was indeed seriously injured in the civil strife and fell into a deep coma."

"Now I can only hang on to my last breath and not die."

"I see. That is indeed a difficult problem. As an ally, I deeply regret it."

Gojo Kegetsu of Ninja Dog Day, are you pretending not to understand? !

Gonbei cursed in his heart, but still smiled on the surface: "Konoha has always been a powerful Konoha, and the names of the Konoha Sannin in the ninja world are almost known to everyone."

"One of them is named Tsunade, who specializes in medical ninjutsu."

"I think, as an ally, can we ask Tsunade to treat the Fourth Mizukage in the name of Konoha officials? In this way, as an ally, we, Kirigakure, can provide Konoha with greater assistance."

"Oh~ So it was you who wanted Tsunade to come out~" Gojo Kegetsu received the fist with his palm and said with sudden enlightenment.

"That's right. I wonder what your opinion is, Mr. Gojo?"

"No problem!" Gojo Jieyue waved his hand and said, "I'm not exaggerating, Tsunade and I are quite close. I don't need to use the name of the village to put pressure on her. I can also get her to come forward and treat the Fourth Mizukage."

"But from your description, the Fourth Mizukage's injuries may be very serious. Even Tsunade cannot heal him immediately."

Quan Bingwei looked worried: "What should I do then?"

This ninja dog Gojo Kezuki wouldn't think of taking the benefit and then using such an excuse to refuse it, right? !

Don't go too far!

"There is still a way~"

In the eyes of the outsider Namikaze Minato, the corners of Kaizuki-kun's mouth showed that familiar smile. Minato recognized the meaning behind the smile... His best friend Kaizuki-kun was going to be disgusting again.

"The wards in our Konoha Hospital are graded. The highest-level ward is called the Aishiyu ward, which is a special-grade ward built under the leadership of Tsunade. The ward is filled with top-level medical techniques and uses the best medicinal materials you can find in the entire ninja world."

"The Aixiyu Ward is known for being able to rescue people from the hands of the God of Death. As long as they are not completely dead, they will definitely survive if they stay in there for a long time and receive treatment. It is the last resort for us in Konoha to save dignitaries and wealthy merchants."

"It's the wall of sighs and despair that stands in front of the god of death! Even twelve Kage-level warriors cannot break the despair!"

After a burst of loud and loud blowing.

Gojo Jieyue's expression became somewhat embarrassed again: "That's right~ the cost is indeed not cheap. Once the medical procedures are activated, it will cost at least one million taels of consumables per day."

"Even if we are allies and don't have to make money from Kirigakure, the medical costs will have to be borne by Kirigakure itself."

"Ah? Ai Xiyou? Is that so?"

Gonbei was stunned when he heard this. In his understanding, shouldn't medical ninjutsu be about clapping your hands, pressing on the patient, transferring chakra, and the person will come back to life?

Why... is it so troublesome?

And they want to send the Yondaime to Konoha Village? Of course, this is nothing. After all, the Yondaime is the Jinchūriki. If Konoha dares to make any move, it must also consider the destructiveness caused by the Jinchūriki's rampage.

"Well...how much does it cost approximately?" Gonbei asked tentatively.

"After our Konoha's medical insurance reimburses you... first prepay 30 million ryo as the initial cost. Once you send the Yondaime Mizukage here, we can have a specialist consultation, and then specifically assess the difficulty of treatment and calculate the cost."

"But I conservatively estimate that the minimum cost will not be less than 300 million ryo." Gojo Jieyue said casually, "In the past, the wealthy merchants and dignitaries who came to Aixiyu's ward for treatment spent more than 1 billion ryo, which is also an important source of income for us in Konoha."

"But as an ally, we won't make money from you. Just pay the cost price."

"And if you are worried, you can ask Mei Terumi to wait outside the ward and report the Fourth Mizukage's condition regularly."

Gojo Kegetsu acted impartially and with the best interests of Atsumi Kirin in mind, which dispelled Gonbei's doubts.

When the Fourth Mizukage really moves into Ashe's ward, he will definitely not die, but he will definitely not live either.

Moreover, the finances of the Hidden Mist Village may no longer be the finances of the Hidden Mist Village.

Konoha Hospital is a hospital that is primarily responsible for saving lives for local residents, and making money is secondary. But if it is used on distinguished foreign guests, the purpose of Konoha Hospital will be reversed.

"Gojo Kegetsu... is a nice guy. But he is still too young and doesn't know how dangerous the ninja world is. When the Yondaime-sama recovers..."

Gonbei entered fantasy time and said solemnly: "In that case, thank you very much! We at Kirigakure will always remember this friendship."

"Counselor Gojo, please be more thoughtful when asking Tsunade to treat the Mizukage. As for money, we in Kirigakure are well-funded and will do our best to save the Mizukage!"

"Definitely!"

Gojo Kegetsu smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his. "I swear by my ninja way! I will do my best to save the Fourth Mizukage! As the first political achievement of the Konoha-Miriamuni alliance!"
