Do You Think I Can't Handle You?

Kirigakure!

"You're back? That's great! It seems the trip went smoothly and didn't cause any major trouble!"

Seeing that Ye Liangnai had returned and that there was no news of any disturbance in the Shinobi World, Mei Terumi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, the expressions of the two Anbu members couldn't help but turn somewhat strange.

It went very smoothly indeed, but, Mizukage, are you sure there weren't any troubles?

"How's the Chamber of Commerce going? Have they found a representative? Zabuza and the others returned?" Ye Liangnai also inquired about the progress.

Mei Terumi replied, "Zabuza and the others are almost at Kirigakure!"

"The Chamber of Commerce has already sent someone to make contact. It was Wave Ninja Village of Hama Goro who made the contact personally. I expect we'll have news soon!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liangnai breathed a slight sigh of relief, then said with a look of longing, "Let Kirigakure slowly become prosperous and strong."

"That's wonderful! I can't wait for that day to come!"

"Sister, then I won't say anything more. I need to go take care of some business!" With that, she left.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi couldn't help but exclaim, "She's really diligent. In that case, I can't lose!"

She quickly returned to her post and continued to handle her duties diligently.

The Land of Water at this moment!

"Finance Minister, I heard you took 500 million to Yaqi Town and made a deal with that Ye Liangnai?"

"Five hundred million! You're really rich. No wonder you're the Finance Minister. No wonder you have the confidence to refuse my summons."

"It seems your wealth is even greater than I imagined!"

The daimyo of the Land of Water looked at the Finance Minister with a look of praise and said.

But the Finance Minister showed no joy whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt a chill run down his spine and his heart trembled.

"My lord, please let me explain. The reason I..."

The Finance Minister was about to speak when he was interrupted by the daimyo of the Land of Water: "I know, you just went to save your son, didn't you? I don't blame you!"

"What could be more important than your son? Anyway, my name is worthless in your eyes, isn't it!"

Questioning, blaming!

The Finance Minister, of course, understood the meaning behind the famous words. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and his face twisted with anxiety.

"My lord, I wouldn't dare! I promise, this really will only happen once!"

"Really, I would never dare to disobey your orders, and I will absolutely follow your lead."

"When did I ever dare to go solo? Do I even have the guts? Without you, I'm nothing! Isn't that right!"

The Finance Minister kept kowtowing, saying obsequiously, "You can be as devout as you want!"

"Hmph, so you know you're nothing without me?"

"If that's the case, why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me before proceeding? Do you think I wouldn't save your son?"

"You think I, the daimyo, would stand by and watch my subordinate, the Finance Minister of the Land of Water, be threatened, right?"

At this point, the Land of Water was extremely angry, and their faces were incredibly grim.

Ye Liangnai, a Kirigakure from Kirigakure, dared to challenge his authority and openly threaten his ministers.

Do they no longer respect his name? Do they think their name can't control him?

He is the daimyo of the Land of Water, not Ye Liangnai.

He's still around; it's not his place to rule Ye Liangnai world and do evil.

"Alright, get up. If this happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, the Finance Minister immediately kowtowed in gratitude as if he had been granted a pardon, and only then, urged by the daimyo, did he stand up with tears of gratitude streaming down his face.

"It seems that my authority over Kirigakure is still not high enough, and there are still people who dare to disobey my will."

"The Kirigakure is nothing but a pack of dogs I keep. Do you think they can devour their master?"

"Hmph, since they're disobedient, it seems necessary to teach them a lesson!"

"Pass down the message: immediately cut off all economic support to Kirigakure and cancel all preferential policies for Kirigakure."

"I want to see how long they can keep jumping around without my support."

"I bet it won't be long before Mei Terumi comes kneeling and begging for mercy!"

"She's a real beauty, with a hot figure and alluring charm, hehe, I'm really looking forward to that day!"

The daimyo of the Land of Water revealed a strong look of covetousness on his face, and his body twisted excitedly.

"My lord is wise. Someone like you should be served by Mei Terumi."

"It is her honor to serve you, and I think she would be more than willing!"

"Without a daimyo, how could she, a mere woman, possibly become the Mizukage? She's dreaming!"

"Mizukage who is not recognized by you, Daimyo, is meaningless!"

The Finance Minister fawned over him, making the daimyo of the Land of Water extremely happy and in a good mood, completely forgetting his dissatisfaction with the Finance Minister.

"Mei Terumi, I hope you don't seek your own death."

"If you don't want Kirigakure to be destroyed, then obediently hand over Ye Liangnai and behead her as a warning to others!"

"If you kneel and 'accompany' me for a few more days, I won't mind giving your Kirigakure some resources!"

Two days later, in Kirigakure!

"Finally, I can relax a little. The position of Mizukage is really too difficult!"

Mei Terumi put down the last document and breathed a sigh of relief.

She finally finished dealing with all the documents piled up on her desk.

She could only sigh that if Ye Liangnai hadn't helped her with the tasks of the Anbu, she probably would have been exhausted.

However, before she could even feel happy for a moment, the Mizukage Advisor Qing suddenly knocked on the door and entered, his face looking very unpleasant.

"What's wrong, Qing?"

Seeing Ao's expression, Mei Terumi instinctively sensed something was wrong.

"Lord Mizukage, it's like this..."

Qingfuer relayed what the Land of Water had said to Mei Terumi.

"What? Oh no!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi immediately cried out in alarm and quickly asked, "Does Xiao Ye know about this?"

Qing smiled wryly upon hearing this, "This information was obtained by the Intelligence Department. What do you think?"

"This is bad! We must get to the Anbu immediately and stop Xiao Ye from taking any further action."

"Otherwise, the Land of Water will surely face even greater turmoil!"

"He definitely dares to do it; there are few things in this world that can inspire his awe. The Daimyo of the Land of Water is definitely not among them!"

Mei Terumi knew Ye Liangnai's nature all too well; Kirigakure was her Achilles' heel, and anyone who dared to touch it would die!

The fact that he dared to openly threaten the Finance Minister shows that he was not worried about the daimyo's reaction at all.

Given Ye Liangnai's strength, no one knows what he's capable of doing.

Mei Terumi didn't dare to delay and quickly arrived at the Anbu!
