" Storm Release?"
Upon hearing this, Ai glanced at Darui beside her.
"It's just Storm Release, isn't it? We in Kumogakure have that too."
"Your Storm Release and his Storm Release are not even in the same league. It's like the Ice Release of the Kirigakure Yuki Clan versus the Ice Release of Yuzuru; the two are completely incomparable."
Mei Terumi glanced at Darui and said.
"You mean he understands Storm Release better than we in Kumogakure?"
Ai said, unconvinced.
"Heh, whether he understands or not, you know best. If your Storm Release was effective, you wouldn't have been beaten to your home by Minazuki Yuzuru last time."
"Oh right, it's said Kumogakure those two unattainable beauties of Kumogakure have been abducted, is that true, Raikage?"
" Mizukage!"
Ai's fur stood on end instantly, and electric currents appeared on his body.
Mei Terumi was not to be outdone, and lava appeared in her hand.
" Lava Release?"
The Kage knew a little about Mei Terumi, after all, she and Mei Terumi had earned their reputations through their own Pakura during the Third Shinobi World War, and she was the only ninja with both Lava Release and Boil Release bloodlines.
In response, they could only marvel at the Kirigakure. Even the Koshimizu Clan, which had fallen to the lowest point, could still produce a powerful bloodline ninja Mei Terumi.
"Calm down, everyone. We're here to discuss how to resolve the Minazuki Yuzuru, not to incite infighting among yourselves!"
Ōnoki stood on the chair and shouted loudly.
" The Tsuchikage is right, Mizukage, Raikage. We are holding this Five Kage Summit to find a way to deal with Minazuki Yuzuru. The enemy is still in the shadows. If we start fighting amongst ourselves, we will inevitably become a laughingstock. You are all Kage of your villages; do not forget your place."
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the two of them.
"Hmph!"*2
I don't argue with women.
Ai turned her head to look to the side.
"I won't stoop to the level of barbarians."
Mei Terumi responded sharply.
" Mizukage, please continue telling me about that mysterious Sea Region Academy you mentioned."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Mei Terumi, signaling her to continue.
" The Sea Region Academy, as its name suggests, is a large Academy. As for its location, it is not in the Shinobi World we are familiar with, but on an island overseas."
Mei Terumi leaned back in her chair and said.
"Overseas islands?"
Everyone was quite surprised to hear this.
"From overseas? Mizukage, have you ever been to that Academy?"
"Of course, not only have I been there, but Kirigakure has also sent many students there to study."
Mei Terumi leaned forward against the table, her fingers interlaced and her chin resting on her hand, smiling as she looked at everyone.
"Oh?"
"We have all the transport vehicles, electric trains, and Scientific Ninja Tool you know about."
Upon hearing Mei Terumi's words, the Kage were all shocked.
" Scientific Ninja Tool?"
"That special weapon that allows you to unleash various Ninjutsu by inputting non-elemental Chakra?"
"That's true."
Mei Terumi nodded, then took out a bracelet and put it on her wrist.
"These are Scientific Ninja Tool. As for their manufacturing methods, only the Sea Region Academy possesses them, but they allow students to learn them because the Academy's sole purpose is to change the world using Chakra, and Scientific Ninja Tool are one of their inventions developed over hundreds of years."
"Then, here, this is the corresponding Ninjutsu storage container. Mine is the Lightning Release: Earth Flow storage container. You just need to insert it into the groove of the ninja tool, inject non-attribute Chakra into it, and then..."
Mei Terumi demonstrated for the group, and the next second, a bolt of electricity was released from the Scientific Ninja Tool on her wrist, directly attacking A.
Ai snorted and immediately activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, withstanding the Lightning Release: Earth Flow.
"That's right. A Scientific Ninja Tool can insert a maximum of two sealed tubes, so it's equivalent to having two Ninjutsu that the opponent can't predict."
"Most importantly, using Scientific Ninja Tool to unleash Ninjutsu doesn't require Hand Seals, as you all saw just now."
The other four shadows nodded in agreement.
Without a doubt, this thing is extremely terrifying. Ninjutsu that can be activated instantly without hand seals has an extraordinary effect on the battlefield. If an even more powerful Ninjutsu could be used, the effect would be... wow!
They were determined to get their hands on this Scientific Ninja Tool.
"Then, Mizukage, would you be so kind as to introduce us to the guardian of that Academy?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at her and asked.
"Well..."
Mei Terumi looked at them with a half-smile.
" Mizukage, that's where you're wrong. We should be on the same side now. The biggest threat is Minazuki Yuzuru. You should know that he has more than one person by his side."
As far as I know, Konoha White Fang, that young Konoha Blue Fang, and the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze are all in his hands. That guardian alone definitely can't handle so many people; we should work together."
Ōnoki immediately spoke with righteous indignation.
"Alright, everyone's not stupid. After going through all that trouble, isn't it just that you want to get the help of the Sea Region Academy, just like we in Kirigakure?"
Mei Terumi looked at the four of them and sneered.
"The main reason is that the young people in the village are very eager for knowledge."
"Hehe."
"Just tell us directly, what would it take for you to agree to let Mr. Lan meet with us?"
"Fifty million taels per village, which can be replaced with secret techniques, Chakra Metal, or other Kunai and similar weapon resources."
Mei Terumi made an outrageous demand.
"You're taking advantage of our misfortune!"
Ai slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Indeed, Mizukage, what you're doing is rather unethical."
Rasa, who had been silent for a while, nodded.
After all, finances have always been a weak point for their village, and fifty million taels is a real pain.
"Don't give me that crap. We in Kirigakure are different from you. The Third Mizukage was killed, and the Three-Tails was destroyed by Minazuki Yuzuru. The village is in dire need of everything right now, even the Daimyo is... cough cough. Anyway, this is the price, no discussion. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel comfortable giving you the Academy's contact information."
"If we manage to defeat Minazuki Yuzuru, which village would take advantage of our vulnerability? If that happens, Kirigakure will be like fish on a chopping board, completely at their mercy. Forget about peace treaties; they're just a piece of paper."
Upon hearing this, the four shadows fell silent.
Mei Terumi's words revealed a lot of information and explained why Kirigakure's isolationist policy has always been so strict.
It seems that compared to the losses suffered by Kirigakure, the other villages are doing relatively well?
Thinking of this, the expressions on the four people's faces softened considerably.
Even so, fifty million is still far too much!
Rasa remained undeterred.
"How much? Princess Temari was sent to the Sea Region Academy by us. We don't even know how much she's learned. At the time, Kirigakure only had five spots, but we generously gave one to Temari. Rasa, how are you going to make it up to us for that?"
Mei Terumi looked at Rasa and said.
Hearing this, Rasa had no choice but to fall silent, after all, Temari was indeed one of their Sunagakure members.
