Master, please become the Hokage

Or...what's strong is the power of the Ten-Tails and that Moon Eye Project.

"Indeed."

Sarutobi Ryo nodded seriously, which made Yagura start to re-evaluate his views on the matter...

He needs to...consult with the other higher-ups in the village.

"It's been a long journey, and we're a little tired..."

Sarutobi Ryo immediately gave Yagura a way out.

You can think about it slowly, don't be in a hurry.

With that, Sarutobi stood up and, under Yagura's arrangement, led by Mei Terumi, left the Mizukage Building.

"Go get the elders... and the heads of all the major families!"

Yagura waved his hand and gave orders to the Anbu...

......

Sarutobi Ryo gazed at the scene before him, leisurely walking along the way.

After Mei Terumi finished introducing the courtyard, everyone entered.

After casually looking around and confirming that there were no ears on the other side of the wall, Sarutobi Ryo turned around and said to Mei: "It seems... you haven't entered the center of Kirigakure yet."

"What do you mean?"

Mei Terumi smiled like a flower, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she looked harmless.

However, Sarutobi Ryo knew.

Mei Terumi is the only Kirigakure ninja who can hurt Yagura or even kill him.

Even though Yagura is already a perfect Jinchūriki.

But Mei Terumi is a ninja who can fight against Uchiha Madara without losing.

As a mage...

Mei Terumi's strength has been greatly underestimated by many people.

However, Mei Terumi also has shortcomings.

Just too young.

He has less experience than Tsunade and Ōnoki.

It would show her great weakness.

This point...will be exposed through a protracted war.

Naturally, her mentality is not as tough as that of the older generation of ninjas like Tsunade.

So, Sarutobi Ryo decided to use a little trick to break down Mei Terumi's defense.

"Even if I have talent...I don't need you...that's what I mean."

Done.

Mei Terumi's expression changed slightly, then returned to normal: "I don't understand what you are talking about..."

"You're hiding it so well that even Yagura doesn't know your true strength."

Sarutobi Ryo's words immediately broke down Mei Terumi's plan.

Chapter 221. You have water escape, I have extraordinary skills

Sarutobi Ryo: "Simply put... your abilities don't match your status..."

For some reason, Mei Terumi hides her true abilities.

This can be seen from the original work.

Obito ruled the blood mist and persecuted various bloodline limit families, but Mei Terumi escaped.

This shows that she is well protected and has hidden her bloodline limit.

Keeping a low profile is something many people do.

Mei Terumi hid her bloodline limit simply to wait for the right opportunity for it to surface.

Her ambition, her aspirations...her desire for the position of Mizukage.

"You also saw that I possess the bloodline elimination...Dust Release."

Ryo Sarutobi put his hands behind his back, and his back gave Mei Terumi a sense of mystery.

"Even a perfect Jinchūriki is nothing compared to Dust Release..."

This is a fact.

Because Dust Release can decompose any substance into a nearly molecular state.

Even the Uchiha clan's Susanoo could only end in failure under such circumstances.

The only thing that cannot be decomposed is some of the spells of the Six Paths-level strongmen.

"I will be the next Hokage..."

Sarutobi Ryo turned around and looked at the girl who looked much younger than in the original book.

Mei Terumi, who is about the same age as Kakashi, has grown into a very pretty girl.

Among her peers, she has a very mature and mature style.

However, facing an older youth like Sarutobi Ryo.

Mei Terumi... can only be considered a girl.

Of course, compared to their peers Nohara Rin and Terumi Mei's development... can be described as quite rapid.

"My say is the final word in Konoha..."

This is a fact.

"So, I have considerable power to interfere with who will become the next Mizukage..."

Ryo Sarutobi began to paint a rosy picture for Mei Terumi.

Killing Yagura is just a piece of cake.

Even if she is not killed, using her own power and strength to put pressure on Kirigakure and support Mei Terumi will be enough to make her the next Mizukage.

This is the future that Ryo Sarutobi promised Mei Terumi.

Of course, Mei Terumi is not stupid.

Of course, she would not completely surrender to Ryo Sarutobi just based on a few words from him.

"As for the future, I can rely on my own efforts..."

Mei Terumi stared at Sarutobi Ryo closely, her body tensing a little.

Because Sarutobi Ryo suddenly wanted to win her over, who knows what his specific intentions are.

"No matter how hard you try, you can never be a match for Yagura..."

Sarutobi Ryo shook his head.

Yagura, who was not controlled by Obito, was the true perfect Jinchūriki.

Can fully exert the power of himself and the tailed beasts.

Besides, Yagura can continue to practice and his strength will still improve every day.

As one gains strength, the other loses strength. It is still a little difficult for Mei Terumi, a magician, to fight against the perfect Jinchūriki.

The only thing she could do was wait for Yagura to grow old.

How many years will that take?

More than 10 years?

Or more than 20 years?

"Think about it carefully. With my influence, I can help you say more good things in front of Yagura..."

Improve your status.

After saying that, Sarutobi Ryo saw the guest off and let Terumi Mei leave.

Mei Terumi lowered her head slightly, with a complicated look in her eyes, and then left the scene.

Unlike his peers like Kakashi and Nohara Rin who have no ambition.

Mei Terumi started to strive to become the Mizukage at a young age. With such an ambition in her heart, she is indeed a talented person.

If he could arrange for her to become the next Mizukage, it would mean that the entire Kirigakure Village would be under his control.

This is also a disguised form of manipulation.

In the original work, Obito can control Yagura.

Can't I, Ryo Sarutobi, fuck...Mei Terumi?

The invasion of the alien Otsutsuki in the future is a foregone conclusion.

It is necessary to plan and layout in advance.

What I have to do is to organize the entire ninja world into a whole and bring it into my own hands.

......

The Kirigakure meeting started soon.

The sun gradually set, and when night fell, the whole village was shrouded in fog.

Kirigakure, where even the moon cannot be seen, can only rely on lights for illumination.

When footsteps were heard in the yard outside, Sarutobi Ryo knew.

Mei Terumi is here to deliver food.

squeak...

The door opens.

Mei Terumi was carrying a tray and saw a figure sitting cross-legged on the ground.

In the center of the room, Sarutobi Ryo was sitting on the floor.

Stare at the wall in front of you.

Most of the houses in Kirigakure are made of stone.

This is different from Konoha.

Because most of the Kirigakure ninjas are proficient in water-style ninjutsu.

The impact resistance of the house's foundation still needs to be carefully considered.

in addition......

This kind of environment is very suitable for the use of boiling escape and dissolving escape.

In the original work, during the Five Kage Tournament, Mei Terumi released these two bloodline limits to fight against Sasuke in a stone building.

"Sir...your dinner is here..." After Mei Terumi reminded him, Sarutobi Ryo slowly stood up.

Taking the plate from her, Sarutobi Ryo sat back on the stool.

Facing the candlelight, he slowly put the food into his mouth.

Mei Terumi observed Sarutobi Ryo's performance carefully, not missing any details.

Sarutobi Ryo knew that she was ready.

After finishing the last bite of food, Sarutobi Ami slowly drank a glass of water, then looked at Terumi Mei and said, "Let's do it..."

When you paint a rosy picture for others, you should at least demonstrate your own strength.

The Hidden Mist Village is a place where the strong prey on the weak.
