Ninjas are used to seeing life and death, but the three little people are still a little uncomfortable with this heavy weight.
But not far away, there were countless cold corpses lying in Cemetery. Death was so real and so close, just a stone's throw away.
It would be really ridiculous and sad if he died like this.
Power...
Mei Terumi tilted his head and stared quietly at the sparkling lake.
In the past few days, all the images of the battle that day had been turning around in her head. The images formed by each second became one frame after another, a still image.
Powerful, powerful, and powerful.
Among countless words, only this word can be linked to those pictures.
Mei Terumi witnessed such a battle with his own eyes, and saw with his own eyes how powerful the person standing at the top of Shinobi World was.
This is just Shadow Clone, how elegant is the body?
The father said that the man who attacked Kirigakure was just to get Byakugan for a Hyuga girl.
To be able to do this to protect the bond is something Mei Terumi never dared to imagine before.
Can she too?
Mei Terumi stared into the distance absently.
If after that day, Kisame's most urgent thought is to live well, then Mei Terumi's most urgent thought is... power.
With power, you can do anything you want to do and protect anything you want to protect.
At that time, with more power than that person, perhaps Kirigakure would not have suffered such a big loss.
Power...Mei Terumi sighed again, feeling lost.
The three of them were immersed in their own world. After a while, Zabuza broke the silence.
"Then let me end all this. I don't care about other villages, but Hidden Mist Village must change!"
He expressed his wish.
"I know it's difficult, but even if I fail and become Rogue Ninja, I still have to give it a try."
Mei Terumi raised his head. "So, what do you want to do?"
Zabuza smiled, "As I said before, kill Yagura and launch a coup."
"Of course, this is a distant goal. For now... I want to force the village to cancel the policy of 'students killing each other'!"
"What do you want to do?!" Mei Terumi repeated it again, but this time his tone was wary.
Zabuza shook his head. "Don't worry about this kind of thing. Anyway, a reminder, I will graduate early, but you two don't graduate at the same time as me. I don't want to take action against you!"
Mei Terumi frowned, but seeing that Zabuza didn't say anything, she had no choice but to curl her lips and snort, "Mysterious!"
Kisame looked at the two bickering and smiled, revealing a row of fangs.
He rarely cares about other people's affairs, and he doesn't want to know what Zabuza's plans are.
As said before, he just wants to live well.
Slowly moving forward, the three of them walked towards the village.
At a crossroads, they are about to separate.
Little Loli suddenly asked, "What's the matter with you? You're not just curious about how I can escape, right?"
"It's nothing, I just want to know about Konoha Lightning's strength." Zabuza smiled.
"When the explosion occurred, we were immediately moved to a safe location. When we came out again, the village was in ruins. I still want to know the details of the battle."
Mei Terumi's eyes lit up. "What, you want to kill that person too? I can give you a chance to join forces with me!"
Zabuza turned over Byakugan: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
"That man attacked the village!" Little Loli muttered dissatisfied.
"Then I don't want to die." Zabuza held his head in his hands, "Besides, even if Konoha Lightning is killed, will the village get better again? Can those dead ninjas be resurrected?"
"This..." Mei Terumi was speechless for a moment.
"Not to mention whether that person will become Hokage, even if he doesn't, he is still Konoha Hero. If you kill him, what will happen next? With his current reputation, does Konoha want revenge?
Maybe the new Ninja World War will break out and the village will be destroyed again! "
Zabuza said something so scary that the little loli was stunned for a moment.
The shark face on the side coughed and said, "Being able to kill Konoha Lightning means that your strength has reached that level. Are you still afraid of fighting Konoha?"
"Yeah, I'm so strong, it's time for Konoha to be afraid of me!" Mei Terumi glared at Zabuza so hard that she almost fell asleep due to the deception.
Zabuza also glared at Kisame and continued to say to the little Loli: "You are wrong to say that. Konoha Lightning is so strong. The other three villages did not choose to surrender because they were afraid of him, right?"
Mei Terumi nodded subconsciously.
"This shows that he is not truly invincible. There are rival ninjas in other villages.
In the same way, Konoha has many powerful ninjas, Sannin, White Fang, Third Hokage... Even if a Konoha Lightning dies, they will not be afraid of you. "
"Moreover, now Konoha is fighting against four, and they are not falling behind. If they put all their strength into Land of Water, how many days do you think we can hold on without being wiped out?"
"Uh..." Mei Terumi was at a loss for words again.
"So, stop thinking about revenge and join me in a coup to overthrow the rule of Yagura. Be realistic."
"..." Mei Terumi thinks Zabuza's words sound reasonable, but it always feels weird.
The enemy destroyed Hidden Mist Village, but we can't take revenge, so we have to find fault with ourselves first?
Isn't this too cheap?
Mei Terumi looked at Zabuza and something was wrong in his eyes. This is a complete mist!
But one thing she must admit is that the village's problems are indeed serious. If this continues, the village will collapse in a few years.
"What about you, Shark Face? You don't look like a gossip. Why are you asking about that person?" Mei Terumi turned around and asked.
Kisame just smiled and didn't care about the name Shark Face.
"Samehada, Ninja Blade Samehada is in the hands of Konoha Lightning, I want to get it back."
Mei Terumi suddenly realized that since the death of Suikazan Fuguki, one of Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Samehada had fallen into that person's hands.
"So you want to be Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but that's difficult." The little Loli gloated. "Join forces with me, kill that person, and the knife will naturally be yours."
Kisame smiled slightly, "This will only be the last way."
"What, you still want to let Hozuki Clan use Summoning Scroll to channel that knife back?" Mei Terumi curled his lips, "It's not like they haven't tried it, they just failed."
As the daughter of the Terumi Clan patriarch, she naturally knows a lot of inside information.
Kisame shook his head. "Even if they come back through psychic channels, they won't give it to me, so it doesn't make any difference to me who is in it now."
"That's true." The little Loli nodded slightly and turned to look at Zabuza.
"You don't want to be Seven Ninja Swordsmen, right? I remember that person also has a Lightning Blade in his hand."
"I do have this idea, but the target is not Lightning Blade." A trace of greed flashed in Zabuza's eyes, "I want Kubikiribocho even more!"
"Isn't that knife... in the hands of senior Juzo?"
"It is indeed in his hands, but it will not always be in his hands." Zabuza is confident.
Mei Terumi turned over Byakugan, then seemed to think of something funny and burst out laughing.
"Zabuza wants Kubikiribocho, and wants to kill Fourth Mizukage; Kisame wants to live well, and wants to take away Samehada; I want to kill that person.
The three of us, Ninja Academy, haven't even graduated yet, so we started thinking about these things. If we don't realize them in the end, will it look like we are..."
She coughed, thinking of a less rude word.
"What's the matter? Ninjas always have dreams. Even if we are salty fish, we still want to stand up. Moreover, we are working hard for the future of this village." Zabuza said carelessly.
"It makes sense." Mei Terumi nodded seriously, cleared his throat, and said in an unprecedented pious tone:
"Master First Mizukage once said that in the east of Land of Water, there is a kind of Sea Kings called a whale.
When a whale dies in the ocean, its body eventually sinks to the bottom of the ocean. A whale carcass can support other plankton for hundreds of years, which is the last tenderness it leaves to the sea.
Master First Mizukage gave this process a name - Whale Fall.
Hidden Mist Village is a huge whale, it is giving birth to us. Similarly, we are also whales. Before we die, we must try our best to give back to the village and future generations.
This is Hidden Mist Spirit! "
"..."
"What's wrong?" Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Mei Terumi blushed.
"What age is it? It's still Hidden Mist Spirit." Zabuza said disdainfully, "This is just like the Will of Fire and Hidden Stone Village stones enshrined by Konoha. They are all meant to deceive children."
"You!" Mei Terumi was furious and wanted to spit out boiling saliva and turn the bandaged man in front of him into a disfigured man!
"I have another opinion, do you want to listen?" Kisame, who had been silent, interrupted the quarrel between the two.
"It's your cute and charming shark stories again, right?" Zabuza chuckled.
"Don't pay attention to him, Kisame, just say it!"
Kisame nodded and said softly, "There is a kind of shark in the north of Land of Water. After they die, they will fall and slowly sink into the sea, and then get a high-end yet beautiful name.
Do you know what it's called? "
Mei Terumi was the first to answer, "Shark off?"
Zabuza followed closely. "Shark death?"
Kisame smiled and said nothing, then turned and left.
