Reaching a Deal With Mei Terumi

"Raikage-sama, someone left a few lines of large characters on the walls inside the main hall."

Suddenly, a ninja flew to the Fourth Raikage's side, bowing his head in respect.

"Hmm?" The Fourth Raikage looked puzzled. "What large characters? Tell me about them?"

"This, this..." The ninja stammered, seemingly hesitant to speak.

"Spit it out, don't waste my time."

The Fourth Raikage roared, startling the ninja into a shiver.

"Yes, Raikage-sama. What's written on the wall is, 'Fourth Raikage, Third Tsuchikage, wash your necks and wait. I, Uchiha Mingyou, will come to take your dog lives sooner or later.'"

"Baka!" The Fourth Raikage was furious, his face flushed red, and he slammed his fist hard on a stone pier at his feet.

The hard stone pier was smashed to pieces with a loud bang.

Now the Raikage could only vent his anger in this way.

Although he knew that Mingyou was hiding somewhere in this Daimyo's mansion, he still couldn't do anything about it.

After searching for a long time, the Raikage had no choice but to order a retreat.

The hundreds of ninjas maintaining the barrier formation around the Daimyo's mansion also needed Chakra to maintain it. They couldn't just keep the barrier up all day and night to prevent Mingyou from escaping.

Prolonged control and maintenance of the barrier would gradually deplete their Chakra, slowly draining their stamina.

Finally, after the Fourth Raikage issued the order, the ninjas maintaining the barrier breathed a sigh of relief and put away their scrolls.

After such a long period of chaotic fighting, it was already late at night.

Mei Terumi led Mingyou, and the two of them swaggered out of the Daimyo's mansion.

Although they were questioned and stopped along the way, Mei Terumi brushed them off with excuses like going out for a walk or buying things.

Passing through the bustling streets, the two of them arrived at a dense forest.

Mei Terumi turned around, looking at Mingyou with a smile. "Mingyou-kun, tell me, what are your plans for the Uchiha needing a foothold that you mentioned earlier?"

"Onee-san, I believe you know very well what I mean." Mingyou nodded, without any beating around the bush.

"I hope you can arrange a place for the Uchiha to settle down, but that doesn't mean that my Uchiha Clan will directly depend on your Land of Water in the future."

"I believe you can also see my sincerity. It's easy for me, Mingyou, to escape from those people."

"The reason I chose to let you take me out is to give you a favor, so that we have an opportunity to cooperate."

Mei Terumi frowned slightly, seemingly not very satisfied with Mingyou's answer.

What she was thinking was to subdue the Uchiha and make them a reserve force for Kirigakure.

However, she was also very clear in her heart that as long as she could temporarily stabilize her relationship with Mingyou.

After they had frequent interactions in the future, and gradually deepened the relationship between the two sides, subduing the Uchiha would only be a matter of time.

"Okay, I'm willing to accept your request." After a moment of thought, Mei Terumi readily agreed.

"So what are you planning to do now, continue to play Chōjūrō and stay by my side? Or go directly to my Land of Water to settle down?"

"Stay by your side to discuss attacking Konoha? I don't have that kind of leisure." Mingyou shook his head slightly, rejecting this suggestion.

Immediately, a wave of spatial distortion appeared in front of Mingyou, and the unconscious Chōjūrō suddenly appeared from the void and landed on the ground.

"This... is also your Sharingan's ability, right?"

Mei Terumi frowned slightly, feeling very surprised by Mingyou's space-time Ninjutsu.

"That's right, this is indeed one of the Sharingan's abilities."

Mingyou nodded, not denying it.

"Is that so, what an amazing power." Mei Terumi muttered to herself, and at the same time, she was even more certain how right it was to befriend Mingyou.

"Take this, it will help you on your journey."

Mei Terumi raised her hand and reached into her chest for a while, took out a black spirit tablet, and then took out a map from somewhere else.

"What does this mean?"

Mingyou was a little confused, not understanding what Mei Terumi meant.

Mei Terumi first handed the token to Mingyou. "This is a special warrant from the Mizukage of Kirigakure."

"On your way to the Land of Water, after you step into the waters of the Land of Water, you will inevitably be questioned by the ninjas of the Land of Water."

"At that time, as long as you take out this token, they won't say much and will let you pass directly."

"Okay, thank you." Mingyou took the token, which still had a residual warmth to the touch.

Mingyou put the token to his nose and smelled it. The token actually carried a faint fragrance. "Hmm, it smells so good."

"Can you be serious, kid..." Even Mei Terumi, a mature woman who had seen countless people, was still made to blush by Mingyou's sudden action.

Mingyou shook his head nonchalantly. "Hehe, I'm telling the truth."

Mei Terumi looked helpless and handed the map to Mingyou again. "This is a nautical chart of the Land of Water, you should keep it as well."

"After I discuss the detailed plan to attack Konoha here, I will set off to return to the Land of Water. We'll meet again then."

Mei Terumi spoke and, without waiting for Mingyou to reply, bent down, picked up Chōjūrō, and turned to walk out of the forest.

"Safe travels, and take care," Mingyou said, waving goodbye to Mei Terumi.

Once she was far away, Mingyou activated Kamui once more.

With a violent spatial distortion in front of him, Mingyou was sucked into the Kamui Dimension.

In a transparent coffin area, Samui sat alone before a set of stairs, her brow furrowed as she clasped her knees.

Mingyou controlled every part of the Kamui Dimension.

All members of the Uchiha Clan were placed in another area, kept separate from Samui.

"Mingyou, are you alright? What's going on outside?"

Seeing Mingyou appear, Samui's furrowed brow finally eased slightly.

She stood up and hurried to Mingyou, her eyes full of questions.

"It's nothing much. I had a fight with your Raikage and then ran away," Mingyou explained casually, not going into too much detail.

If he told her that he had killed many Land of Lightning ninja, he wasn't sure what she would think of him.

After all, the Land of Lightning was Samui's birthplace.

Although the Fourth Raikage's arrangement was quite unfair, she still had deep feelings for the Land of Lightning.
