Chiya Listen quietly to what she has to say.
"So I came in person."
Mei Terumi looked at him in surprise.
"What reason is this?"
"If I just want Three-Tails, there is no need to enter this office."
Chiya's tone has not changed.
"I came to you just because I didn't want to rob you."
Mei Terumi was startled for a moment.
Chiya continued.
"Not only Three-Tails, I will collect all Tailed Beasts. If someone is willing to hand it over, I will go and get it myself. If someone is not willing, I will not stop because of it."
Mei Terumi's pupils trembled, and the Chiya in front of her already felt very strange to her.
"You..."
"That's all I can tell you. Ōtsutsuki Clan will come, and I need Tailed Beasts's power. You can refuse, I won't do anything at Hidden Mist Village."
Mei Terumi walked in front of him.
"Then why is Akatsuki also collecting Tailed Beasts? Do they also want to deal with the Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
Chiya did not answer immediately.
Akatsuki, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Rinnegan are involved in too many things. I am also planning to meet Pain, but Mei Terumi cannot know about any of this.
In the end, he chose to hide it.
"I only know that they are collecting Tailed Beasts. As for what they are planning to do in the end, I don't know."
"You have fought with them so many times and found nothing?"
Chiya shook his head and said nothing.
Mei Terumi stared at him for a while, obviously not believing what Chiya said, but seeing that he didn't want to say this, he stopped asking.
When Three-Tails went berserk, Chiya blocked Tailed Beast Bomb that was shooting at Hidden Mist Village. Later, Land of Water's civil strife ended, and it was Chiya who helped her secure her position as Mizukage.
Without Chiya, the houses under reconstruction outside the window might have long been in ruins.
But Chiya standing in front of her now has changed a lot.
He is not as lazy as he used to be, and rarely smiles anymore. But Mei Terumi can feel that Chiya is willing to sit here to discuss with her today, which is the final concession.
Regardless of whether she agrees or not, what he decided will not change.
His willingness to tell these things today is probably the greatest sincerity he can give.
Mei Terumi cannot determine whether Ōtsutsuki Clan really exists.
She can only judge whether the person in front of her is worthy of her trust.
Mei Terumi looked out the window again.
After Three-Tails was re-sealed, it never regained much strength. Now it does not have Jinchuriki and cannot participate in the battle. Hidden Mist Village has to send people to maintain the seal for a long time.
If Three-Tails is left behind, it may become the strength of the village again in the future.
Giving it to Chiya is betting on something that even she herself cannot confirm.
Mei Terumi stood there thinking for a long time.
Finally, she turned around.
"I can give Three-Tails to you."
Chiya looked at her.
"But I can't prove the things you said now, and I can't believe them."
"I am willing to hand over Three-Tails to you because I believe in the person standing in front of me."
Mei Terumi's eyes were very firm, which also made Chiya startled.
After saying that, Mei Terumi called Qing in.
"Qing!!!"
The door was quickly pushed open, and Qing walked in from the outside.
"Master Mizukage."
"Take Chiya to the place where Three-Tails is sealed."
Qing suddenly raised his head.
"You agreed?"
"Hmm."
"But where is Genji..."
"I will explain it to him myself."
Mei Terumi didn't give Qing a chance to continue persuading.
Qing glanced at Chiya, the expression on his face changed one after another, and finally he lowered his head.
"I understand."
Chiya stood up and followed him and left the office.
Not long after, Chiya left Kirigakure.
The process of removing the Three-Tails didn't take too long.
After most of Chakra was sucked away by Kaguya, Three-Tails's body has never recovered. Now it is only slightly larger than an ordinary turtle. It is held in Chiya's arms. Its three tails hang out from under the black robe, swaying gently with its footsteps.
Three-Tails obviously still remembers him.
Its one eye looked at Chiya's left hand from time to time. Whenever Chiya's fingers came close, it immediately retracted its head, leaving only half of its eye exposed outside the carapace.
Chiya didn't stop until Kirigakure completely disappeared into the thick fog.
"Take me to Rain Village."
Rest your right arm for a moment.
The black substance slowly emerged from his cuffs, and soon half of Black Zetsu's face was revealed.
It heard everything that just happened in Mizukage's Office. Chiya spent so much effort to bring Three-Tails out, and it obviously already had plans for the next step.
"Do you want to see Pain?"
"Hmm."
Chiya lowered his head and glanced at Three-Tails.
Black Zetsu's eyes also fell on Three-Tails.
"Scorpion died in your hands, and Akatsuki's several actions were also sabotaged by you. Even if you send Three-Tails over, Pain will not let go of the past easily."
"I know, but I have no intention of asking them to give up their hatred."
Chiya walked forward again.
"I just need to see Pain."
Black Zetsu was silent for a moment.
Chiya is talking about meeting Pain, not negotiating with Akatsuki.
The difference between the two is not hard to guess.
Black Zetsu looked at his profile and quickly thought of the pair of Rinnegan.
"You..."
"You want to take Pain's eyes?!"
Chiya did not stop, but looked down at Black Zetsu on his right arm.
"You responded faster than I thought."
Black Zetsu's eyes changed.
Chiya continued.
"After Kaguya left, I can no longer directly absorb Tailed Beasts. Ordinary Sealing Jutsu cannot hold Nine Tailed Beasts."
He raised his left hand and glanced at the diamond-shaped mark on his palm.
"I must get Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
Black Zetsu still looked shocked.
"Do you know the relationship between Rinnegan and Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?"
"I have personally seen Nine Phantom Dragons Seal, and I have also seen Demonic Statue of the Outer Path absorb Tailed Beast Chakra. I guess Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Pain must be connected."
"But judging from your reaction, it means I guessed it right."
Chiya said nonsense. In fact, he had known it for a long time, but he just needed to find a reason to explain it away.
Black Zetsu said nothing.
From the moment Chiya broke into the cave where One-Tail was sealed, it knew that Chiya had seen Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. But it didn't expect that Chiya actually connected Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Rinnegan, and even made words out of his own mouth.
"What are you going to do?"
"See Pain first."
Chiya Put your left hand back into your sleeve.
"Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is controlled by Rinnegan. As long as I get those eyes, all Tailed Beasts collected by Akatsuki will fall into my hands."
"You plan to take Three-Tails into Rain Village, and then look for an opportunity to take action?"
"I'm not stupid enough to grab it when we meet."
Chiya's tone was very calm.
"Get close to him first and figure out his behavior. Then look for opportunities to do something. You will always find opportunities in the future."
This is the real plan of Chiya.
Three-Tails can only make Pain willing to see him once.
But as long as a fight doesn't break out the moment the two parties meet, he will have a chance to get close to Pain. Then he can find an opportunity to leave Flying Thunder God Formula. Flying Thunder God Formula will not disappear. As long as he leaves a mark, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
As for when to take action, you can decide later.
Black Zetsu has completely understood his plan.
"No."
