Phew...
Seeing that Mist Ninjas had indeed retreated to a certain distance to watch as agreed, Ning Xue behind the boulder could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
So, he now has two choices.
One, take this opportunity to break the agreement and run away.
Second, wait here as agreed.
In fact, he himself prefers the first one.
But if he offends the other party and issues a fatwa, his future activities will be restricted accordingly.
But looking at the current situation, it seems that the other party has no intention of enmity, and can only take one step at a time.
He took off the backpack behind him and found that the rice balls in the bag had been deformed during the fight.
But luckily I can still eat it.
Kirigakure, Mizukage's Office.
"What? You actually asked Mr. Mizukage to talk to him in person?"
Qing slapped the table and stood up, looking angrily at the person who came to report.
"The current junior is really lawless and even threatens his life. Who does he think he is? What qualifications does a rat with unknown origins and a hidden background have?"
Qing became more and more excited as he spoke, and veins even appeared around the black eyepatch.
For a moment, the only sound left in the spacious office was Qing's roar.
Mei Terumi, who had been silent all this time, showed no emotion or anger in his expression. He just held his chin with one hand and tapped the table rhythmically with the other hand.
The slightly immature Chojuro stood silently behind her without saying a word.
After a long time, she finally spoke.
"Qing, stay calm and don't be impatient."
His voice was calm, as if he didn't seem to care about the excessive request.
Then, she looked at the ninja who came to report and asked.
"Tell me the details again.
What did he say? The exact words, and the scene at the time."
"Yes, Master Mizukage."
Anbu raised his head and repeated it again.
10,000 words are omitted here.
"Negotiating alone without escort?"
Qing's voice unconsciously increased a few degrees.
"Trap, this is definitely a trap!"
He firmly expressed his opinion to Mei Terumi.
"This man is very deep in the city. He can use Ice Release to trap a small team in an instant. He must not be underestimated.
What if there are other forces behind him, and he deliberately uses this Ice Release to attract us to his door, in order to plot against you?
Maybe it was a trap deliberately set up by the remnants of the party!"
This is a veteran's persecutory paranoia.
Chojuro After hearing this, he couldn't help but echo in a low voice.
"Yes, Master Mizukage, this is too risky. What if it is really aimed at you..."
But before he finished speaking, Mei Terumi raised his hand to stop him.
Then she changed her posture and asked again with a serious expression.
"Where is his information? Besides Ice Release, what else is there?"
"Return to my lord,"
Another ninja in charge of recording stepped forward and said, "Based on battlefield traces and team members' confessions, the target seems to be extremely good at Water Release and Wind Release, and has a good Taijutsu.
In terms of fighting style, it is extremely adaptable and efficient, and has beast-like intuition or perception. (The power of Byakugan)
In addition, the other party always wears a mask, and his iconic feature is his white hair.
Judging by the height, the other party may be a teenager or a young man. (Height may not necessarily judge the age. After all, their Murakami Mizukage is a good example)
Apart from the above points, I don't know anything else."
"Beast-like intuition, excellent Taijutsu..."
Mei Terumi pondered for a moment, then looked at Qing.
"Qing, what do you think of his Ice Release?"
Qing sat on the seat and calmed down.
He muttered to everyone present.
"Very... peculiar.
Unlike the traditional Ice Release, it can condense the enemy's moves for its own use, and can even instantly create armor to resist attacks.
These two points alone are enough to show the opponent's control.
Moreover, this kind of control is extremely rare in the history of the village.
But I didn't expect that in the family that was completely slaughtered, apart from the brat who followed Zabuza, there would actually be survivors."
"A young man who owns Kekkei Genkai, is powerful, has no hostility towards Mist Village, and is still in the growing stage..."
Mei Terumi put on red lips and showed a meaningful smile on her face.
There was surprise, curiosity, and a hint of politician's calculation in that smile.
"He killed the remnants of Blood Mist Village without hesitation, but he only trapped us regular troops without killing them, and finally chose to negotiate... Don't you think this is interesting?"
"My lord, even so, you must not go alone, it is too risky."
Qing still insisted.
"We can pretend to agree to talk alone first, and then arrange for Chojuro to secretly follow..."
"No need!"
Mei Terumi interrupted him.
"With the vigilance shown in the intelligence, how long do you think we can keep it a secret?"
Upon hearing this, Qing was speechless.
Seeing that the other party stopped talking, she continued to speak.
"If I don't even dare to take this risk, how can we show our sincerity? How can we convince a person who has just been hunted by us?"
She folded her hands in front of her chin, glanced at everyone present, and continued.
"Kirigakure needs change and new power.
But now, there is a descendant of the blood family who has no hostility in front of him.
This may be an opportunity to integrate more forces."
"But... just in case..." Chojuro wants to say something else.
"Nothing is safe."
Mei Terumi said decisively.
"Now the village needs to integrate all the forces that can be integrated, and this risk is nothing."
Then, she looked at the reporting staff again.
"Reply them and I will accept the meeting.
The location was chosen on the rocks in the Land of Tea sea area, so that it is fair to everyone.
Also, lift the close surveillance on him and let him see our sincerity."
She paused, and the corner of her mouth curled up with a hint of confidence.
"Also, prepare a gift for me... no, two gifts.
One is a formal invitation letter, and the other... prepare some high-quality wound medicine and ninjutsu scrolls.
He played hard today and should put it to good use."
"Yes!"
Anbu and the civilian ninjas responded in unison.
