Traveling Together

At this moment, Uchiha Yue realized for the first time that being tsundere was a hidden trait of Mei Terumi. (First Release)

In the original story, Mei Terumi is a female ninja who combines beauty and sexiness. As the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi appears to have a gentle personality, but she also has a strong side. However, that strength is not the same as the Uchiha Yue is currently seeing. So when Mei Terumi showed her tsundere side, even Uchiha Yue was slightly stunned for a few seconds.

However, since Mei Terumi is a ninja from Kirigakure and has the potential to become the Fifth Mizukage, Uchiha Yue felt it was unlikely he would have much interaction with her. Firstly, Uchiha Yue was among the top targets of Mei Terumi's Kirigakure. Although Kirigakure wasn't the true culprit behind the death of Uchiha Yue's mother, Uzumaki Minako Uchiha Yue, her death was inextricably linked to Uzumaki Minako, which was why Kirigakure was determined to Kirigakure Uchiha Yue.

Secondly, as ninjas from different villages—one belonging to Konoha and the other to Kirigakure — Uchiha Yue and Mei Terumi can only exist as enemies, not friendly ones, unless the Fourth Shinobi World War ends. And with at least ten years until the Fourth Shinobi World War, this is the third reason why Uchiha Yue feels he cannot have much interaction with Mei Terumi.

The final reason why Uchiha Yue felt he couldn't have much interaction with Uchiha Yue Mei Terumi was that he had his own goals, and personal feelings had to be put aside. Moreover, even now, Uchiha Yue felt he was getting a bit old, and in his eyes, having lived two lives, Mei Terumi was like a little girl. Uchiha Yue didn't consider himself a lolicon, so this became the final reason why he couldn't have much interaction with Mei Terumi —it was simply because of their age difference.

Then, after thinking about this, Uchiha Yue slowly shifted his gaze to the open space in front of him.

With his eyes blankly staring at the empty space in front of him, Uchiha Yue was clearly thinking about something important.

The important things can be roughly divided into three points.

Firstly, there was the matter of Uchiha Yue needing to heal his own injuries.

Secondly, Uchiha Yue was contemplating how to return to the Land of Fire and to Konoha.

As for the last matter, Uchiha Yue was thinking about Uchiha Madara. He silently analyzed in his mind what kind of plan Uchiha Madara was going to execute after doing those things in secret.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue's current understanding of the situation is still too limited.

So, after standing there in a daze for a long time, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but sigh deeply, thinking to himself:

"As expected, I still have too little information. With just this much information, I can only deduce some of Uchiha Madara's thoughts."

"Now that Uchiha Madara has sent someone to assassinate the Third Kazekage, it's almost certain that Uchiha Madara was the one who took Sasori of the Red Sands and the Third Kazekage's body."

"However, Uchiha Madara's actions of taking the Third Kazekage's body and sending people to assassinate him can only Uchiha Madara has designs on Sunagakure, or that Uchiha Madara wants to start the Third Shinobi World War to select a successor."

"In other words, I still have no way to stop Uchiha Madara's plan. After all, Uchiha Madara and I have almost the same goal regarding the Third Kazekage and instigating the Third Shinobi World War."

"In that case, I'm afraid I can only wait silently for Uchiha Madara to make his move, and then counter it accordingly!"

"In that case, returning to Konoha is the first thing I need to do."

"Of course, before returning to Konoha, I need to fully heal my injuries!"

Silently reflecting on this, Uchiha Yue began using his Purple Eye to examine his injuries. After thoroughly examining all the wounds on his body with his Purple Eye, a slight smile finally appeared on Uchiha Yue's lips. Uchiha Yue then continued to think to himself:

"I have successfully suppressed all the toxins after the initial attack."

"I only need to wait two more days to regain my Chakra usage, fully heal my internal injuries, and expel all the toxins that have re-emerged from my body."

"Unfortunately, I'm currently within the Land of Wind, so I have no way to purchase any blood-replenishing herbs."

"Otherwise, once I replenish my blood to its original level, my strength will be able to return to its peak."

"However, even without my peak strength, as long as I can regain my Chakra usage, leaving Sunagakure shouldn't be too much of a problem for me."

"Now, I'll use Medical Ninjutsu to treat my internal injuries to prevent another outbreak of toxins!"

Having reached this point in the secret passage, Uchiha Yue nodded to himself and then prepared to use Medical Ninjutsu to heal his injuries.

However, what Uchiha Yue never expected was that just as he was about to use Medical Ninjutsu to heal himself, he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye that Mei Terumi was still standing in front of him, and was not leaving as she had said.

At the same time, Mei Terumi clearly caught Uchiha Yue's glance out of the corner of her Uchiha Yue. When their eyes met, Mei Terumi's cheeks flushed slightly. Then, feeling her face burning, she quickly looked away from Mei Terumi's gaze, stubbornly muttering, "U... Uchiha Yue! I'm not leaving because of you, but because you haven't released the seal within me. I can't use Chakra! Now... now release the seal for me, I'm leaving!"

"Okay, then I'll break the seal for you now!"

Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, Uchiha Yue Mei Terumi directly to her and was about to release the seal within her body to restore her Chakra circulation. However, before releasing the seal, Uchiha Yue vaguely sensed a hint of disappointment flashing in Mei Terumi 'Mei Terumi pupils. Then, when Mei Terumi finally released the pressure points, seeing the disappointment in Mei Terumi 'Mei Terumi pupils deepen, he couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "Mei Terumi Uchiha Yue, the Third Kazekage of Uchiha Yue is now missing, and the whereabouts of your Kirigakure Sunagakure, as well as my appearance in the Land of Wind, have also been discovered by Sunagakure. I imagine the entire Land of Wind is under heavy guard right now. If you don't mind, how about leaving the Land of Wind with me?"

"Let's just consider it... let's just keep each other company!"
