Suppressing the urge to rush up and punch the other person, she tried her best to calm herself down.

With a squinting smile, she said, "It's better than some people in their twenties who don't know how to take care of themselves, resulting in rough skin that will make them look like forty or fifty-year-old women in just a few years!"

"What did you say!?"

"Sizzle..."

The two women were arguing there.

It seems that "water" and "fire" are truly incompatible.

Where their eyes met, it was as if wisps of intense electric sparks were constantly colliding and flashing.

That invisible killing intent sent chills down the spines of many present.

"... Lady Tsunade..."

"Lady Mei!"

"Shut up--"

Their eyes met, both men exuding murderous intent.

Without even looking up, they all reprimanded each other in unison.

They stood there, locked in a fierce battle, staring intently at each other, neither willing to give in.

A chilling murderous aura.

This prompted Shizune, Karin, and the others who wanted to mediate the fight.

They were all somewhat apprehensive and dared not interrupt again.

Goodbye, Little Brother Rikuto!

Time slips away, bit by bit.

Two future "shadows" are locked in a fierce confrontation.

But it didn't actually escalate into a full-blown battleground.

After medical personnel provided emergency treatment to Qing's eye injury.

They brought along the unconscious Six-Tails Jinchuriki and the corpse of a dead Kirigakure Anbu.

Mei Terumi no intention of staying any longer.

She glanced at Rikuto with a complicated expression.

He simply said goodbye and left.

It's rare for her to meet a man who can move her heart.

Yet he was so much younger than her, and also from Konoha.

Perhaps, two people with different stances are destined to be together but not to stay together.

Goodbye, Sister Mei...

Rikuto smiled and nodded.

He didn't say anything more.

"Whoosh... whoosh..."

Soon--

One after another, the Kirigakure Ninja moved swiftly, disappearing into the darkness.

He watched Mei Terumi left.

Rikuto put the bloody Byakugan into a small bottle containing a special medicine that had been taken out at some point.

Is this what Byakugan like?

Karin and Shizune walked up to (Qian Zhao).

They stared at the eyeballs inside the glass bottle with great curiosity.

"If you're interested and want to study it, feel free to take it!" Rikuto said with a smile, tossing the bottle to them.

A mere Byakugan was nothing to him.

Its only value is that when it's returned to the Hyuga Clan, it might slightly Hyuga Clan the favor of the somewhat rigid father-in-law.

"No need for that..." Observing the Byakugan, Shizune shook her head directly. "I'm just a little curious!"

Are you very disappointed?

Tsunade smiled broadly.

Looking at Rikuto, who seemed perfectly normal, he asked, "Is it my fault for ruining your good time, kid?"

"So what? At worst, we can just go to Kirigakure and steal the bride again..."

Rikuto wore a smile.

He patted his chest, his words carrying a double meaning. "In my heart, Sister Tsunade is still more important!"

"You're smart enough not to argue with me, kid... in the hall."

Tsunade squinted her crescent-shaped eyes, secretly pleased.

She gently tapped Rikuto on the head, but was quite satisfied with his attitude.

"You still want to go to Kirigakure to kidnap the bride?"

Karin, like a little adult, crossed her arms and pouted, grumbling, "Hmph, I'm afraid someone's soul is about to be stolen by that fox spirit from Kirigakure!"

"Where did this jealous person come from? Their sourness is overwhelming... Their pouty lips could hold a soy sauce bottle!"

Rikuto chuckled lightly, somewhat annoyed, and ruffled Karin's hair without any politeness.

"That wretched Rikuto, he's messed up my hair again..."

Chapter 184 A Gift for Meeting, Mei Terumi [Third Update]

"Whoosh..."

At this time--

The Kirigakure Ninja, led by Mei Terumi.

It is steadily moving away towards the coastline.

"Let's stop for a moment..."

Seeing that they were already far from the forest, Mei Terumi was the first to stop.

"Qing, I'm sorry this time..." She looked at Qing, who had lost her Byakugan and hadn't yet been fitted with new eyes, and couldn't help but feel apologetic.

As one of the first Jonin to follow him in Kirigakure, he believed she could become the new Mizukage and bring about change to the village known as the "Bloody Mist Village".

Furthermore, he risked public condemnation and went so far as to reveal to the ninjas of Kirigakure that the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, had been affected by Genjutsu.

Unexpectedly, in the end, right before his eyes, someone stole the Byakugan that he had always regarded as a precious trophy.

Her boss, however, could only watch helplessly.

They had no choice but to compromise with Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin.

This was a huge Mei Terumi.

That's definitely a significant blow.

"Lady Mei, please don't say that, it's not your fault..."

Qingxin felt a little disappointed because she had lost the ability to Byakugan.

But she still managed a forced smile, comforting Mei Terumi: "Even if we disagree, those guys won't necessarily let us leave obediently!"

"Furthermore, the information that Princess Tsunade has awakened the First Hokage's Wood Release and can easily suppress the Tailed Beast must be reported to the Grand Elder no matter what!"

"Of course, but your most urgent task is to get new glasses..."

Mei Terumi waved her hand.

He gestured to the Anbu member next to him who knew Medical Ninjutsu to first replace Ao's eyes with those of his fallen comrade.

"Watch out, someone's approaching!"

At this time.

One of the Kirigakure 087 ninjas' expressions changed.

They caught a glimpse of a figure approaching them from the forest.

They hurriedly issued a warning and became alert.

Mei Terumi, Ao, and the others couldn't help but change color.

He looked over immediately, his pupils widening in shock.

"Chiya Rikuto?"

The expressions of the Kirigakure Anbu all changed, and they became somewhat wary.

This mysterious young man is not as simple as he seems. He is proficient in the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Fourth Hokage and is a powerful figure who can easily deflect attacks such as Tailed Beast Bomb.

"Little Brother Rikuto..."

Mei Terumi frowned.

He couldn't help but look at Qing, the sensory ninja, and saw that the other party was shaking his head slightly at him.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief upon confirming that Tsunade and the others had not actually caught up.

She smiled and looked at the Rikuto ahead, "Don't tell me you're here to ambush us?"

"Sister Mei's smile looks so fake, she's not as enthusiastic as she was at the beginning..."

Although Mei Terumi was smiling, there was a faint sense of distance between her and him.

Rikuto smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that what just happened has created some unnecessary misunderstanding..."

As he spoke.

He flicked his right hand.

A small, dark shadow flew towards Mei Terumi.

"Let him put this on... consider it a gift for Sister Mei!"

"This is..."

Mei Terumi, who was initially somewhat wary, caught it instinctively after confirming there was no danger and out of complicated feelings for Rikuto.

Looking at the scarlet eyeball inside the glass bottle (bccf) that was only two fingers wide and filled with an unknown solution.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Sharingan!?

Qing and the other members of the Kirigakure Anbu all had their pupils shrink and cried out in shock.

He looked at Chiya Rikuto in front of him with some disbelief.

Immediately, his gaze burned as he looked intently at the eyeball.

To everyone's surprise, the other party actually gave one of their Sharingan to Mei Terumi.

"Oh dear, Little Brother Rikuto, what do you mean by this?"

Mei Terumi took a deep breath.

They looked at Rikuto with some suspicion and uncertainty.

If you were willing to give them the Sharingan, why were you so ruthless before?

"Well, I have some connection with the Hyuga Clan, and besides, Sister Tsunade is my teacher, so I couldn't very well plead for you just now..."

Rikuto shrugged, half-jokingly saying, "But with the Sharingan, there won't be any psychological burden!"

Tsunade had just sided with Konoha and was demanding Byakugan from Mei Terumi and the others.

He couldn't speak up for Kirigakure out of both emotion and reason; he couldn't really be fickle and forget his principles for the sake of beauty.
