Chapter 304

Akito planned to have Ying cultivate according to the introductory criteria of the Eight Gates Released Formation.

Of course, this wasn't done so that she could master the Eight Gates.

Instead, it utilizes the requirements of the Eight Gates to improve "basic physical fitness".

As we all know, this kind of compliance requirement will turn into a hellish experience...

All of this was to help Ying develop an iron will and a body...

After handing over the training details to Ying.

Mei Terumi pushed open the door and entered, making a request.

She... wants to have a competition with herself.

229. Mei Terumi is sent thousands of miles away...?

"Akito Excellency, would you like to have a match with me?"

Mei Terumi's eyes were alluring, her red hair obscuring one eye.

Her fiery red lips and captivating eyes were irresistible.

Her fair skin and graceful figure in the off-shoulder dress complemented her beautiful figure.

She's absolutely stunning.

"My strength is not something you can challenge."

The Akito looked out the window and said calmly.

It was as if they hadn't noticed Mei Terumi's face and figure at all.

"Hmm... perhaps I'm overestimating myself, but if I don't give it a try, I'll feel unsatisfied having come all this way..."

Mei Terumi said.

"After all, we are ninjas, aren't we?"

Exhilarating battles and challenging strong opponents are desires shared by most ninjas.

But she is Mei Terumi.

He is the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure.

The motive is certainly not that simple.

"Of course, besides my own needs, if I don't do my best, the villagers will be dissatisfied..."

In the Kirigakure.

The Mizukage is held by the strongest person in the party.

This has been the case since the First Mizukage, Byakuren, founded the village.

Until the fifth generation.

Mei Terumi is the strongest among the thousands of Kirigakure Ninja!

As long as we defeat her.

All the Kirigakure Ninja under his command will have nothing to say.

The outcome will determine whether... Kirigakure will ally with Amegakure, or... go to war!

"Knowing the outcome all along." Akito shook his head and looked at Mei Terumi.

"Hehe... Actually, besides the competition, there's something else I want to confirm..."

Mei Terumi gently stroked her bangs.

"Just how powerful are outstanding men...? I want to experience it for myself..."

Saying things that are easy to misunderstand.

But Mei Terumi... might actually have some interest in her.

"If Kirigakure and Amegakure can form an alliance," Mei Terumi extended an olive branch to Akito, showing her goodwill.

"So it can benefit both countries, is that so?" The Akito's gaze shifted, becoming sharp.

"Yes."

Mei Terumi nodded.

"Oh."

The Akito gave a disdainful sneer.

"Only those in high positions like you would consider political maneuvering; I've never cared about such things..."

The so-called "political diplomacy".

Usually, it involves a compromise between the two parties.

That's how we can play together.

Otherwise, it would just be war, and the fighting would continue indefinitely.

But once "politics" is involved, everything becomes anything but simple.

That goes against the ideals of the Akito.

Compromise?

Joke.

Why should I compromise?

"Your Kirigakure only has one choice."

The Akito raised his finger.

"Submit to Amegakure and become a vassal state. Or, be destroyed by me and become a vassal state."

Of course, the timing is sequential.

Akito is currently preparing for the "Chunin Ninja Exams" from the original story.

So I'm not going to bother with Kirigakure for now.

Once the original storyline has progressed sufficiently and we have some free time, we can then deal with Kirigakure and the Land of Water.

"That's really... domineering..." Mei Terumi narrowed her eyes.

"So, your overthrow of Yagura was nothing short of tyranny and violence? What do you think revolution is? Child's play? Sitting down for tea and a leisurely chat?"

Akito countered with a question.

In the silence, only the sound of wind and rain outside could be heard.

A moment later...

"I can give you a chance to challenge me."

Akito stared intently at Mei Terumi, his gaze burning.

"However, you will have to pay the price. Because everyone must be responsible for their actions, and you... are no exception."

Cost?

Mei Terumi's eyes darted around as she quickly pondered.

What will be the price?

She doesn't understand.

But Akito will soon make her understand.

"Good."

Mei Terumi nodded, solemnly agreeing to the request.

So, the Akito got up and decided to take her to a special place.

"Where to?" Mei Terumi asked.

"Above."

The Akito pointed to the sky.

"..."

Mei Terumi was slightly taken aback, then realized.

Aerial fortress... Ancor Vantian?!

A few seconds later, Akito grabbed Mei Terumi, stomped through the air, and in the blink of an eye, enveloped in Dark Chakra, broke through the clouds and arrived at the upper levels of Amegakure.

Standing at such a height, Mei Terumi slightly dizzy for a moment.

Immediately, the reaction was adjusted.

The Akito landed gently, standing on the platform of the aerial fortress.

"This is... the aerial fortress of Land of Sky..."

Mei Terumi was amazed by the technology of the Land of Sky.

"It belongs to Amegakure now," Akito corrected.

Mei Terumi surveys the sky, overlooking the earth; the feeling of standing on the clouds... is truly wondrous.

"You can watch the rest later."

The Akito said to her.

"Hmm?" Mei Terumi hadn't quite grasped the deeper meaning of that sentence yet.

Akito turned around and walked towards the entrance.

Mei Terumi pondered for a moment, then turned and followed.

We toured the aerial fortress, trying our best to remember every detail.

Even when forming an alliance, this kind of intelligence gathering is perfectly normal.

After all, that's reality.

Mei Terumi's actions, of course, did not escape the eyes of the Akito.

But it's okay.

Look, look all you want, there's nothing you can't look at, after all, later...

Soon, the two walked through the corridor and arrived at the training room.

After several renovations.

The training room is already equipped with many functions.

For example, cutting out a space of a fixed size.

By enclosing it with a barrier, one can create an area of the required size.

This time... the Akito specifically chose a small space.

"Are you letting me win?"

Mei Terumi asked.

The confined space was the perfect place for her Kekkei Genkai, allowing her to Lava Release and Boil Release techniques.

Whenever Ninjutsu is used, the entire surrounding space will be filled with the technique's formula, creating an absolute death zone.

"If we don't do this, you won't be convinced later."

The Akito tightened his collar.

Let's begin.

Turn around and stand still.
