Chapter 45: The Mist Village Coup
Crack...
The rubble rolled down and an arm stretched out from the rubble.
Then, a charming female ninja wearing a blue tube top dress and a white belt around her waist suddenly sat up from the ruins.
She straightened her reddish-brown curly hair, and a stream of warm blood flowed down her face. For the time being, she didn't react to what happened.
All I remember is the blinding white light, the high temperature, and the impact... Everything happened in an instant, and I felt dizzy when I woke up.
Maybe he has a concussion, she thought.
After being stunned for a few seconds, she felt her mind gradually become clear, and she remembered that just before the explosion, Qing threw herself to the ground, blocking most of the high temperature and impact.
"That's right, Qing!"
The enchanting female ninja, the future Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, only then remembered Ao who had saved her life.
Maybe the impact of the explosion was too strong, and Qing, who was supposed to be blocking her, was blown away to somewhere unknown. Terumi Mei could only dig through the rubble bit by bit to look for Qing.
Because the use of ninjutsu might cause secondary damage to the wounded, Mei Terumi could only dig through the rubble with her bare hands.
It was not until his hands were covered in blood that he found Qing from the ruins.
“Qing, Qing!”
After several consecutive calls, the unconscious Qing was finally awakened. He sat up suddenly, then turned over and lay on the ground with a cry.
Qing's back was already burnt, and even the hair on the back of his head was curled by the high temperature.
"Qing! Daijiobu!?" Mei Terumi called out anxiously.
Qing reluctantly stretched out his right hand, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Stupid buddies, this little injury won't kill me!"
"Don't be brave!"
Mei Terumi obviously did not believe Ao's lies. She carried Ao up and sat down behind a huge piece of waste stone slab.
"There's a huge change happening in the village now, and I don't know whether the medical ninjas will still come to rescue you, so I need to test it first!" Mei Terumi said seriously.
She has now recovered and recalled what happened.
The previous explosion was simply the result of the Fourth Mizukage completely transforming into a tailed beast and launching a giant Tailed Beast Ball at them, catching them off guard and directly destroying their New Faction headquarters!
Right now, perhaps less than 10% of the new generation members can survive!
After so many years of preparation and accumulation of talents, all of it turned into bubbles under the bombardment of a Tailed Beast Ball.
All the efforts have become a joke. Mei Terumi looked at the Three-Tails roaring in the distance with hatred, gritting her teeth!
Qing held her hand and shook his head: "Don't go. The Fourth Hokage is in such a state now that he is too hostile to us. If he attacks us directly, you will be at a great disadvantage with your current strength!"
"But……!!"
Mei Terumi said unwillingly that she didn't even know why the Fourth Mizukage attacked the new generation!
Swish, swish.
Two figures rushed here one after another. After seeing Mei Terumi and Ao, they were somewhat shocked and dazed: "Ao, Mei Terumi. Are you two the only ones left in the new generation?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi and Qing turned to look at the person who came. The other party seemed to be the guard beside Master Yuanshi.
"There should still be some people alive. Aoi, Gonbei, why did the Yondaime do this to us!?" Mei Terumi demanded.
She didn't understand. The new generation and the Mizukage faction had political differences at most, but it was impossible for them to tear each other apart and fight each other.
Upon hearing this, Bi and Quan Bingwei were both silent.
Gonbei said: "Although it is a little hard to believe, what I am going to say next is the truth. The Fourth Hokage... was controlled by someone using illusion!"
"What? This is impossible!" Mei Terumi exclaimed and subconsciously denied it.
Who can sit on the position of Mizukage? Who is not a person of extraordinary talent? How could he be controlled by a mere illusion?
Quan Bingwei also knew that this matter was too absurd, but he still said firmly: "I know it is hard for you to believe it for a moment, but every word I said is true! This is the last order that Master Yuan gave me!"
"Master Yuanshi..." Terumi Mei murmured.
She thought of this elder who had always been secretly supporting the growth of their new faction. Now, combined with Gonbei's words, could it be that the master had already noticed the abnormality of the Mizukage?
"Mei Terumi, we probably can't stay in the village anymore. The new faction has been destroyed, and the Mizukage is extremely powerful. We must leave here first and make long-term plans!" It was Gonbei who spoke.
As a guard who has been with Master Yuan for many years, he has a clearer view of the situation.
With their current strength, it is too difficult to deal with the Mizukage.
Originally, it was the Master who was holding the Fourth Hokage back, wanting to wait for Mei Terumi and the new generation to grow up fully before overthrowing the Fourth Hokage's blood mist rule.
Who would have thought that the Fourth Generation was so unsportsmanlike that he first killed the Master and then raided the headquarters of the New Faction with lightning speed.
They also threw dirty water on them, resulting in a situation where no one can restrict the Fourth Hokage.
"Maybe there is someone who can restrict the Fourth Hokage a little bit!" Mei Terumi suddenly said.
Bi, Quan Bingwei, and Qing all looked at her at the same time and asked in unison: "Who?"
"In addition to Kisame from the middle faction and Mangetsu Kizuki who is in prison, we can also win over the elders. Currently, only the elders can restrain the power of the Fourth Hokage!"
"Mangetsu Kizuki..." Gonbei still had some impression of this name.
It is said that the owner of this name is a young man of extraordinary talent who can control seven ninja swords with ease.
Unfortunately, he failed in the assassination attempt on the Mizukage and was imprisoned. The new faction has been trying to release Mangetsu, but they were always suppressed by the Mizukage and could not rescue him.
But now the situation is different, and several people immediately decided to rescue Man Yue Kizuna.
This is the only way to strengthen the power of the new generation in the shortest possible time.
"Hey, okay. Enough of the small talk, can you guys just go and die? After all, this is the order of Lord Mizukage." A short-haired man wearing a mask and a special ninja uniform stood on a high place and said indifferently.
Figures kept appearing around the ruins.
The Kirigakure assassination force has surrounded this area of ruins!
"Oh no!" Mei Terumi stood up and protected Qing behind her.
Bi and Gonbei guarded Qing on the left and right. The new generation cannot lose any more members!
"Aoi, Gonbei! Take Ao with you. If what you said about the Mizukage being under an illusion is true, then his Byakugan is a crucial link and there can be no mistakes!"
Mei Terumi made a decisive decision, and at this moment, she showed the unique spirit of a leader!
"But, if you are alone...!" Gonbei was obviously worried. There were at least dozens or even hundreds of ninjas from the assassination team around. The person left behind to cover the retreat would definitely be in great danger.
Mei Terumi smiled, and her chakra burst out with a strong spirit: "Gonbei, don't underestimate me, my strength is far stronger than you think!"
Gonbei was hit head-on by the sudden burst of chakra from Mei Terumi, and his hair was blown back.
"I...I understand." Quan Bingwei replied hesitantly.
They didn’t expect that the girl who grew up under their noses now has the strength of a shadow-level warrior.
The fire of the new generation has not yet been extinguished!
Immediately, Bi and Gonbei helped Qing up. Together, they moved Qing onto Gonbei's back, and then used the technique of teleportation to escape from the ruins.
Seeing this, the assassination team immediately sent out a dozen ninjas to intercept and kill them.
"Melt Escape·Monster Melting Technique!!"
puff!
A huge ball of acid like a lake was spit out from Terumi Mei's mouth, blocking the assassination team's route to pursue Gonbei and others.
Chi Chi Chi!
The acid continued to corrode the ground, and a large amount of acid mist rose up.
A few unlucky souls were soaked to the bone and dissolved into a pool of pus and blood without even a scream...
"Ah, a beautiful woman is standing in front of you, but you are chasing after those stinky men. This is really very rude."
Mei Terumi wiped the acid from the corner of her mouth and smiled charmingly.
This smile made the Anbu ninja present feel cold in their hearts. To be able to smile like this after killing someone, he must be a pervert!
