Mei Terumi lay in a small room on the second floor of the Hokage Building, her beautiful emerald green eyes staring at the white ceiling as if it held a map for escaping Konoha.
The maid... Unmoved by the humiliation inflicted by the enemy, Mei Terumi silently checked her own condition.
His clothes were still intact, and because the fight had been somewhat chaotic, he had no external injuries. However, he felt a little dizzy, which was probably a side effect of the anesthetic he had been given.
The bad news is that he can barely mobilize Chakra throughout his body, which is probably due to some special drug from Konoha.
"Don't bother struggling. This is the Hokage Building in Konoha. The area outside is full of hidden Anbu Ninja. In your current state, you probably won't even be able to escape the Hokage Building." Naoki Senju laughed, thwarting Mei Terumi's escape plan.
Mei Terumi tilted her head slightly, looking at the face she least wanted to see, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Why? Kirigakure has already fallen to you. Now you could easily wipe them all out and then annex Kirigakure and the Land of Water."
Naoki Senju put down his water glass and fed Mei Terumi only a portion of the antidote, restoring some of her mobility.
So, you really want to die right now?
Mei Terumi shifted her gaze and stared again at the empty ceiling.
"It was my flawed decision that led to this defeat. Kirigakure has been completely destroyed in my hands, so I am willing to die for Kirigakure."
Mei Terumi slowly closed her eyes, as if urging Naoki Senju to make his move.
"But what if I could let you go back?"
Naoki Senju's words successfully piqued Mei Terumi's interest; she instantly opened her tightly closed eyes and stared intently at Naoki Senju.
"Let us go back? The only thing worth your trouble is the Six-Tails from Kirigakure right now. You want us to hand Six-Tails over to you?"
Mei Terumi's tone was very certain. Just as she said, apart from Kirigakure's territory, the only thing Konoha could acquire was the Six-Tails.
"Yes, but that's not entirely true either. Besides the Six-Tails, you are also a treasure of Kirigakure."
"Heh... Naoki Senju, someone like you can actually tell jokes?" Mei Terumi showed an expression for the first time, but it was a strange one, a half-smile, more accurately described as sarcasm.
"So what kind of person have you always thought I am?" Naoki Senju didn't rush into the process of "training" Mei Terumi her heart would make it easier to succeed.
"What kind of person..." Mei Terumi couldn't help but recall their two previous meetings.
The first time was in Kirigakure, when Naoki Senju was with Tsunade. However, at that time, she did not know Naoki Senju's true identity and only thought that Naoki Senju was Anbu of Konoha.
The second time was the pursuit battle after the succession ceremony, which was also her first defeat, her first loss to other ninjas.
At that time, her impression of Naoki Senju was merely that of a Konoha Ninja with a terrible personality and great strength.
This time, she truly witnessed Naoki Senju's 'cunning'; she led the entire Kirigakure to defeat him...
Seeing that Mei Terumi hadn't responded yet, Naoki Senju knew it was time to move on to the next topic.
"As compensation for Kirigakure's attack on Konoha, the Six-Tails and its Jinchūriki must be handed over to Konoha. In addition, the Mizukage Mei Terumi must also remain in Konoha."
Mei Terumi did not express her opinion. She had no bargaining chips left and could only let Naoki Senju do as he pleased. Unless the conditions were too harsh, Mei Terumi would not object.
Although the last condition was a bit strange, it was just about staying in Konoha, which was much better than the worst outcome.
"While you remain in Konoha, if you can fulfill just one condition, Konoha will release one Kirigakure Ninja back to Kirigakure."
Mei Terumi immediately turned her head, looking at Naoki Senju with a disdainful gaze, and said coldly:
"Disgusting, perverted!"
"Hey, don't get me wrong. I won't make any unreasonable demands. I can promise I won't touch you, and you have the right to refuse, okay?"
The right to refuse... Mei Terumi glanced silently at Naoki Senju, then at her own powerless body; the meaning was self-evident.
"You can regain your mobility, but don't try to run away, or you'll never get such favorable conditions again."
Naoki Senju handed the water glass on the table back to Mei Terumi, but after trying, Mei Terumi found that she couldn't lift either of her hands.
"It still depends on me, so listen to me and open your mouth."
Despite her deep reluctance, Mei Terumi silently opened her mouth; recovering some of her strength was the most important thing right now.
The pale green liquid flowed into Mei Terumi's mouth as the cup was poured. As if Naoki Senju was in a hurry, some of the liquid flowed down Mei Terumi's lips and onto her fair neck.
After Mei Terumi Mei Terumi swallowed half a cup of medicine, she reached out and took the cup, drinking the medicine in one gulp. She even stuck out her pink tongue to lick the last drop of medicine.
Then she glared angrily at Naoki Senju, Naoki Senju had almost poured the medicine up her nose!
"It's best not to make a move now that you've just recovered your strength. The Kirigakure Ninja are all counting on you to save them."
The last trace of fighting spirit in Mei Terumi's eyes vanished. The Kirigakure Ninja and the Kirigakure were Mei Terumi's Achilles' heel. As long as the Senju clan Senju onto that group of Kirigakure Ninja, Mei Terumi wouldn't dare to act rashly unless she was absolutely certain of victory.
"Heh, is the Senju clan, who inherited the Wood Release power of the First Hokage, only capable of threatening a weak woman?"
With her strength restored and her beliefs rekindled, Mei Terumi seemed to have returned to being the charming and alluring Fourth Mizukage.
She was no longer the heartless, lifeless woman she had been moments before.
"That's right, I'm threatening you, and here's the first task. Accept it?"
"You..." Mei Terumi clenched her delicate little fists, but didn't smash them into Naoki Senju. This feeling of being unable to vent her anger made Mei Terumi grind her teeth in frustration.
"Just a heads up, if your maid Mei Terumi completes this mission, either your bodyguard Chōjūrō or Ao will be able to return to Kirigakure. Of course, Ao's Byakugan has already been destroyed by the Hyuga Clan, and Chōjūrō's Ninja Blade ' Hiramekarei ' belongs to Konoha. You can assess their value before making a decision."
Seeing that Mei Terumi did not refuse, Naoki Senju took out a sealing scroll he had prepared beforehand, and after breaking the seal, he took out a black and white dress.
This dress was originally made for Guren, but Guren's crystal business is thriving, so she won't be able to wear it anytime soon. As for Tsunade's maid dress, Mei Terumi's figure isn't big enough for it.
The dress was very well-made, catching Mei Terumi's eye. The style was also Mei Terumi had ever seen before. Tempted by the beautiful dress, Mei Terumi asked:
"What style is this skirt? What is it used for?"
Naoki Senju smiled, eagerly anticipating Mei Terumi would look in that dress.
"This is called a maid's dress, so it's naturally for the maid Mei Terumi, to wear."
