Chapter 74: Future Mizukage Mei Terumi
Chapter 74: Future Mizukage Mei Terumi (Part )
In the night.
A petite figure suddenly appeared.
She was wearing a gray uniform vest and a cat mask on her face, revealing only a pair of emerald green eyes.
Her reddish-brown hair fluttered in the wind. She was not tall, about 1.23 meters, a little girl.
"It's human blood. It looks like the direction is correct."
She looked around and soon found the blood on the leaves, and reached out to squeeze it.
"Mei Terumi, what's going on?"
Behind her, two figures fell one after another.
Same clothes and masks, only they were older and the height of adults.
"Senior Cod, please call me by my code name during the mission."
Mei Terumi said in a serious tone.
"Oh my, what an unlovable junior."
Cod shook his head and said with a smile.
"Let's go."
Mei Terumi glanced at him and said, "Catch him back as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, he can't run away."
The scallop next to him spoke up.
"Yes, just a Chunin."
Codfish nodded in agreement and suggested, "We've been chasing for a whole day, let's rest for a night before chasing again."
"This is the first mission given to me by Master Yuan. I must not fail."
Mei Terumi leaped forward and disappeared into the night.
"Let's go."
Cod reluctantly followed her.
Scallops came a close second.
……
Hanekawa lay down next to Tsunade.
In the darkness, she could hear the chirping of insects and birds outside the tent, as well as her breathing.
"How was it, your first time out?"
Tsunade asked, turning her head to look at him.
"pretty good."
Hanekawa paused and said, "Especially teacher, this is the first time I see you so serious."
"What? Was I not serious before?"
Tsunade couldn't help but raise her hand and hit him on the head.
"What do you say?"
Hanekawa asked rhetorically.
"Seriously, too."
Tsunade showed a guilty look, but fortunately it was dark and no one could see it.
"..."
Hanekawa was speechless for a while.
He thought he was thick-skinned enough, but he didn't expect there was another master.
"We will enter the Water Kingdom tomorrow, so you must be careful then."
Tsunade changed the subject and asked, "Do you know what the Hidden Mist Village is also called?"
"what?"
Hanekawa followed up on her words and asked.
"It's the Blood Mist Village."
Tsunade said in a deep voice, "The Hidden Mist Village has always implemented a cruel and high-pressure policy, especially the elimination of bloodline limit ninjas."
In her previous life, Hanekawa thought that the Blood Mist Village was caused by the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karotachi being controlled by Uchiha Obito, but in fact it was not the case.
This was the policy during the time of the Third Mizukage.
It’s just that Uchiha Obito is more permissive.
"Not long ago, a big event happened in the Hidden Mist Village."
Tsunade continued, "A student named Zabuza Momochi killed all the students in his class when he graduated."
Hanekawa's heart moved.
Zabuza Momochi, in the original work, is one of the second generation Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Because he failed in his attempt to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, he became a rebel ninja.
While working for a wealthy businessman named Cardo, he encountered Team 7 led by Hatake Kakashi and died at their hands.
He also has a little follower named Bai who likes to dress up as a woman and is good at using ice escape.
"In the Hidden Mist Village, such killings happen all the time."
Tsunade reached out, touched his head, and said, "You must be extremely cautious."
"is teacher."
Hanekawa nodded and said.
"Go to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow."
Tsunade withdrew her hand and closed her eyes.
After a while, the sound of steady breathing was heard.
a new day.
The warm sunlight shone through the leaves and fell on the tent.
Hanekawa opened his eyes.
What comes into view is the outline that rises and falls with your breathing.
He realized that he had leaned against Tsunade without realizing it.
"teacher."
Hanekawa opened his sleeping bag and sat up.
"Did anything happen last night?"
Tsunade woke up quickly.
Although she usually likes to sleep in, she is a qualified ninja during the mission.
"The trap I set was not triggered." Hanekawa walked out of the tent and took a look, then said.
"That's good."
Tsunade said, yawning.
She folded up her sleeping bag, walked out of the tent, and stretched.
"Bring out the map."
Tsunade said casually while eating her rice ball.
Hanekawa opened the map with both hands and placed it in front of her.
"This is our meeting point."
Tsunami pointed to a point on the map and said, "Remember the route. Don't forget it. When the time comes, you will meet him."
"how about you?"
Hanekawa was stunned for a moment and asked.
"I'll be watching you from behind."
Tsunade said calmly, "I will only take action if you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat."
"I understand!"
Hanekawa's heart sank and he felt the pressure.
Although he had cheats and was quite strong, it was his first time fighting the enemy.
"for you."
Tsunade took out a Konoha forehead protector, "He will only believe you if you wear this."
"Ah."
Just as Hanekawa was about to take the Konoha forehead protector, he saw Tsunade coming around behind him.
"be careful."
Tsunade put the Konoha forehead guard on his forehead with a complicated expression.
The last ninja for whom she personally put a forehead protector was Nawaki.
"I will."
Hanekawa nodded slightly.
The two had breakfast, dismantled the tent, and took a boat to the Water Kingdom.
After getting off the boat, Tsunade said hello and disappeared.
Hanekawa took a deep breath and opened the eight-fold scope.
He had not learned perception ninjutsu, so the eight-fold mirror's field of view came in handy at this time.
Hanekawa found the right direction and walked towards the junction.
Soon, he reached his destination.
A small forest.
They met at the northernmost tree.
The Hidden Leaf intelligence agents who escaped from the Hidden Mist Village would hide in the trees when they arrived.
Hanekawa did not show up directly, but stood in the distance and observed with an eight-fold scope.
He looked at it for a while and couldn't help frowning slightly.
There was no one in the tree.
Could it be that something went wrong?
Hanekawa thought about it, did nothing, and continued to wait.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly turned his head.
He heard heavy footsteps.
In the eight-fold mirror, a young man came into view.
He was covered in wounds and looked extremely miserable.
And behind him, there was a petite figure.
"The Hidden Mist Village ANBU?"
Hanekawa subconsciously grasped the samurai sword at his waist.
The young man was an intelligence officer of Konoha Village. If he died, it would mean the mission failed.
He must save people.
However, this Anbu from the Hidden Mist Village is a little strange.
Has he become an Anbu at such a young age?
Undoubtedly a genius.
So... who is protecting her?
Hanekawa let go of the katana and formed seals with his hands.
Clone technique!
Another Hanekawa appeared beside him.
Hanekawa stared at the ANBU, and as she approached the young man, she suddenly threw out four kunai.
After the launch, he ran away without looking at the results.
"Who?"
Mei Terumi heard the sound of breaking wind.
She quickly retreated, and four kunai fell to the ground.
"careful!"
The sound of codfish rang out.
Mei Terumi calmed down and found four kunai, one of which was tied with an explosive tag.
Boom!
The detonating talisman exploded.
“Did it work?”
Hanekawa took a look through the 8x scope and then shook his head.
A water wall was erected in front of Mei Terumi, blocking the detonating tag.
But it’s not completely ineffective.
Cod rescued Mei Terumi.
Scallop followed the direction of the kunai and found the clone left by Hanekawa.
The clones of the clone jutsu had no effect, but Hanekawa already knew their number.
There are two more chapters during the day, which will be posted after they are finished.
