"That's wonderful, Lord Mizukage. It was all a misunderstanding before, please don't take it to heart."
Naoki Senju lingered, reluctant to leave Mei Terumi's smooth skin. Perhaps due to her years of training in Water Release techniques, Mei Terumi's skin was even more hydrated than Tsunade's, making him reluctant to leave.
"Hehe, now that the cooperation has been reached, why won't you release me, Lord Naoki?"
Ignoring Mei Terumi's flirtatious glances, Naoki Senju took out a small box from his ninja tool pouch, poured out a small brown pill, and held it to Mei Terumi's lips.
"It's better to be prepared, right? Please understand, Lord Mizukage?"
Mei Terumi glanced at Naoki Senju's harmless smile, then looked down at the small pill, and finally reluctantly opened her cherry lips, using her small pink tongue to roll the pill into her mouth.
" Lord Mizukage, please open your mouth a little. If you don't swallow... you know what will happen~"
No! I don't understand anything! Mei Terumi swallowed the small pill hidden between her teeth, her throat bobbing.
Naoki Senju nodded in satisfaction before explaining, with a hint of warning, "The pill that the Lord Mizukage swallowed just now was a new type of poison that Sister Tsunade recently developed; it's not fatal."
At this point, Mei Terumi let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief. If it wasn't fatal, it wasn't a big problem. The Kirigakure's medical-nin certainly weren't as skilled as medical experts, but detoxifying them shouldn't be difficult...
"But..." As Naoki Senju deliberately kept her in suspense, Mei Terumi's heart skipped a beat.
"Although this poison isn't fatal, each time it takes effect, it causes unbearable itching all over the victim's body, making them want to scratch their flesh raw. Initially, it will make you feel warm all over, and the most recent onset should be in two days. But most importantly, besides the antidote personally prepared by Sister Tsunade..."
Naoki Senju leaned close to Mei Terumi's ear and whispered, "No one can cure this poison."
After the 'devil's' whisper ended, the trees binding Mei Terumi shrank back into the ground. Mei Terumi, having lost her support, almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Naoki Senju caught her.
Beneath their feet, the Wood Release Deep Forest Emergence, created by the Wood Release technique, slowly shrank back underground, revealing the completely upturned deep soil. Perhaps this place could become an important food production area for Kirigakure in the future.
Naoki Senju helped the somewhat 'tired' Mei Terumi up and used a hand Hand Seals he had never shown before.
" Wood Release: The Four Pillars House Technique "
A small wooden building rose from the ground, but Mei Terumi paid no attention to any of that. She glanced at Naoki Senju's left hand, which was forming a hand Hand Seals, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
How much more strength are you hiding?
" Lord Mizukage will find out if there's a chance later. But, Lord Mizukage, did you bring any spare clothes? If so, it would be best to change. You wouldn't want to go to see the Kirigakure Ninja like this, would you?"
Naoki Senju pointed to Mei Terumi's clothes, which were covered in slime and clung tightly to her body. Although it was tempting, the slime from Katsuyu was something most people couldn't stand.
"Aren't you afraid I'll run away now?" Mei Terumi glanced at the wooden building. So that's what it was for. Although Naoki Senju has a terrible personality and is overly cautious, he still takes good care of her in some ways...
"If Lord Mizukage doesn't want the antidote, and isn't afraid of being captured alive today, and having the news of him getting his clothes dirty while alone in a room with a male enemy spread throughout the Shinobi World, then so be it."
Mei Terumi clenched her teeth, making a soft grinding sound. The slight glimmer of goodwill she had just felt vanished. That damned man!
Mei Terumi Naoki Senju; she was simply outmatched. She figured she could catch up with him later through more training.
But what this guy said was infuriating! What did he mean by sharing a room with a man and getting his clothes dirty? It was clearly Katsuyu slime...
The more she thought about it, the more something seemed off... Mei Terumi gave up on thinking about it, snorted coldly, glared at Naoki Senju with annoyance, and walked into the small building, swaying her round hips in her high heels.
Mei Terumi was now completely baffled by Naoki Senju. He could understand if she was angry or furious—women are always shy—but what was with that strange look in her eyes? It made it seem like he'd abandoned her after starting something...
Inside, Mei Terumi was wiping herself down and taking spare clothes from the sealing scroll; outside, Naoki Senju was still trying to figure things out. Both of them felt the same complex emotions: if they had known things would turn out this way, they shouldn't have fought that battle!!
A moment later, Mei Terumi, now dressed in clean clothes, emerged from the small building. The casual gesture of tossing her long hair as she walked exuded charm.
" Lord Mizukage is taking forever to change. Let's not waste any more time; we should go seal the Three-Tails."
Sealing? Mei Terumi's mind raced. She hadn't expected that Naoki Senju, besides being skilled in Wood Release and Water Release, would also know Sealing Jutsu. So... was he planning to seal the Three-Tails and make it his Jinchūriki?
Her original plan was for Naoki Senju and Tsunade to drag the Three-Tails back to Konoha. With Tsunade's legendary Superhuman Strength, it wouldn't be impossible for her to drag a Tailed Beast.
Alternatively, we could wait for Konoha to send professionals to retrieve the Three-Tails. At that point, the methods would be more varied, such as forcibly forming a contract with the Three-Tails -Three-Tails, transferring it using Summoning Technique, or moving it using Three-Tails -Earth Release Ninjutsu. Perhaps then there would be a chance to turn the tables...
Mei Terumi never expected that Naoki Senju would use Sealing Jutsu, and even be so audacious as to want to become the Three-Tails ' Jinchūriki within Kirigakure's territory?
However, Mei Terumi maintained a smiling expression, subtly adjusting her collar to reveal a sliver of her fair skin, and said in a sweet voice:
"Women naturally take longer in certain areas, especially beautiful women. Hopefully, the handsome guy will be understanding."
Naoki Senju turned his head away with a hint of disdain, avoiding Mei Terumi's provocative gaze. This woman was too skilled at seduction and teasing, yet she was so stingy when it came to giving him a treat, refusing to reveal even a little bit...
Enough with the small talk, let's go.
Without needing Mei Terumi to lead the way, Naoki Senju headed straight for the direction where the Three-Tails was temporarily sealed in Kirigakure. He was clearly a repeat offender who had scouted the area multiple times, which annoyed Mei Terumi for quite a while.
On their way to the sealed land, Naoki Senju and Mei Terumi didn't encounter a single Kirigakure Ninja. They had no idea what kind of Kirigakure Tsunade left the surrounding area so vulnerable.
" Lord Mizukage, it is now time to fulfill our promise. Please."
In the small lake not far away, the Three-Tails roared in pain one after another. Covered in the Tailed Beast Cloak, Utakata, who had reached the level of Four-Tails Utakata, was like a small mouse on an elephant. Although it could not cause fatal wounds, it kept creating small wounds on the elephant.
It is believed that soon, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure will be able to successfully suppress the rampaging Three-Tails Isobu.
Ultimately, the quality of the Three-Tails 'Chakra is inferior to that of the Six-Tails. However, it's a pity that absorbing one Three-Tails is about the limit for now... Naoki Senju shifted his gaze from the two Tailed Beast in battle to the Lord Mizukage seemed to be feeling a bit pained.
