Mei Terumi Attacked

Mei Terumi is attacked (Updated 3/5)

With medicine to heal their wounds and food to replenish their energy, and after a good rest for most of the night... (Novel)

Although Shunren and Pakura's injuries had not yet healed, their Chakra had recovered considerably.

The hour of Yin (3-5 AM) is when the human body is in deep sleep and most tired.

As agreed, Shunren and Pakura awoke one after the other.

Through the Stealth Ward that had been placed in Mei Terumi's room beforehand, Shunren could clearly see the latter's peaceful sleeping face.

"So, shall we go now?" Pakura asked in a low voice.

"Wait!" Shunren frowned. With his keen senses, he faintly sensed a movement coming from outside the house. He then quickly formed several hand seals.

The Sensory Technique: The Mind's Eye!

Centered on Shunren, a sensory network constructed from spiritual energy rapidly spread outwards.

"Four directions—east, west, south, and north—four people. Judging from the intensity of their Chakra, they should be Chunin Mist Ninja Village," Shunren said calmly.

Pakura was immediately alarmed. "What? Has our whereabouts been exposed?"

"It shouldn't be." Shunren pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "If the Mist Ninja had already discovered us, they wouldn't have sent just a few Chunin, but a whole bunch of Jonin!"

"Then what's going on?" Pakura asked, puzzled. If they weren't the target, then who could it be?

"Let's see how it goes first." Shunren put a hand on Pakura's shoulder, and then the two jumped onto the ceiling and did a handstand. Shunren simultaneously activated his Sensory Technique to shield the two's Chakra aura.

After a while, four dark figures silently slipped in through the door and window.

They exchanged a few coded hand gestures and then quietly approached the room where Mei Terumi was.

Pakura's initial surprise turned to confusion, and then slowly transformed into inexplicable anger.

Shunren also narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself: It seems that not only Konoha, but other ninja villages are all the same, keen on internal strife.

Only then did Shunren recall that the original work mentioned that after the Fourth Mizukage came to power, the Mist Ninja implemented a policy of terror, not only creating the infamous Village of the Bloody Mist, but also carrying out a bloody suppression of the powerful clans with Kekkei Genkai in the Land of Water. Mei Terumi inherited both Lava Release and Boil Release Kekkei Genkai, so she was naturally among those targeted for elimination.

"Ding-a-ling~" Originally, she planned to slowly pry open the lock and sneak in silently to carry out the assassination, but she did not expect that after opening the door, a loud bell sound would suddenly ring out.

"There's a trap! Move in immediately!"

It turns out that this wasn't the first time Mei Terumi had faced an assassination attempt, so she had set up an alarm mechanism in her room. After the intruder triggered the mechanism, Mei Terumi, who was sleeping, was suddenly awakened.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~" Seeing that the assassination attempt had failed, the infiltrator immediately threw several Kunai onto the bed.

Mei Terumi rolled to the side, dodging the incoming projectile, and shouted, "Wait! We're all from the same village, how can we kill each other!"

Ignoring Mei Terumi's cries, the intruders Kunai at her with two kunai in hand, while the other two Hand Seals to cast a spell.

"What do we do now?" Pakura asked Shunren.

"No need to do anything," Shunren said calmly. "That girl is quite skilled; an enemy of this caliber is no match for her."

As expected, Mei Terumi faced the enemies attacking from both sides without any fear, her young face filled with determination.

"Whoosh~"

Body Flicker Technique!

With agile movements and excellent Taijutsu, he tripped the two men and brought them to the ground in an instant, but he did so with his bare hands and did not harm them.

Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!

Water Release: Water Chaos Waves!

The other two spat out two sharp water arrows from their mouths, aiming at Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi was a step slower in casting her spell than the others, but Hand Seals quickly overtook her, unleashing "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

"Roar!"

The water dragon, formed from powerful Chakra, easily bit through the opponent's water arrow attack, but it did not attack them; instead, it held its head high.

Mei Terumi said sadly, "You... please stop? I really don't want to kill you."

However, the four remained unmoved, like puppets who only obeyed orders from their superiors. Mei Terumi showed them mercy, but they showed no gratitude whatsoever.

"Whoosh~" Two Explosive Tag Kunai thrown out, destroying the water dragon.

However, the four separated and launched another attack on Mei Terumi.

"Thump~"

The next second, the four people collapsed to the ground without warning.

"Sizzle sizzle~" Burn marks appeared on their skin.

"I told you to stop!" Mei Terumi cried out helplessly, her hands forming a strange hand seal.

Pakura's pupils contracted, and he murmured softly, "This Chakra... could this girl be...!"

"This is a highly corrosive acid mist, the Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique, the Boil Release Kekkei Genkai the Mist Ninja." Shunren said calmly. In fact, as far as he knew, Mei Terumi also had a second Kekkei Genkai — Lava Release.

Mei Terumi defeated four people with a single move, but her face showed no joy, only deep sorrow. "I haven't done anything wrong, so why are they targeting me?"

However, just as Mei Terumi was distracted, one of the people lying on the ground, enduring the corrosive burns on his hands, took out a bamboo tube and blew a poisoned dart behind Mei Terumi!

Ultimately, it was her youth that Mei Terumi to be caught off guard. Her momentary carelessness and leniency towards her enemy led to her being ambushed and collapsing into a limp, paralyzed state.

The four people slowly got up from the ground, carrying Ninja Blade, and walked up to Mei Terumi.

"Why..." Mei Terumi shed tears, her clear, emerald-green eyes filled not with hatred, but with pain.

However, the attacker did not show any mercy despite the girl's crying; expressionless, he cruelly swung his knife.

"Yin Release: Projection!"

There was absolutely no suspense; not even a single shout was uttered.

"Pfft pfft pfft pfft~" A sharp sword light flashed, severing the necks of the four people, and Shunren's figure landed beside Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi struggled to lift her head, looking at him with disbelief, "Shun... brother?"

Shunren glanced at her calmly. "That's a pity. My name is Uchiha Shunren."

"Whoosh!" Pakura appeared beside him, urgently saying, "Shunren, don't kill her!"

Nonsense! Do you think I'm just showing off?

Shunren scanned his surroundings, then suddenly activated his Sharingan. "Impressive. You completely overturned my senses. But the hostage is in my hands now, so you'd better show yourself!"
