16 years old, fourth generation Mizukage

Chapter 68 The Return
After saying goodbye to Nagato and Akatsuki, Kaguya Rei no longer concealed her whereabouts, and went straight across the border of the Land of Fire, towards the front line where Kirigakura and Konoha fought.

When he left the front line of the confrontation between Konoha and Wuyin to look for Longdi Cave and Xianshu, it was still a bleak autumn, and now, there are already many areas in the country of fire that have begun to snow goose feathers. There are only a few days left until the new year.

Unlike the foggy atmosphere, where basically no one will celebrate the arrival of the new year and festivals, the residents of the land of fire are quite enthusiastic about celebrating the new year.

Along the way, Hui Yelian has seen that many families are preparing the materials needed for the whole family to spend the New Year together, professional entertainers are rehearsing for the New Year's performance, and shops with bright lights are on sale. A rare commodity that is rarely seen on weekdays...

It was as if the gunpowder smoke between Konoha and Wuyin had not completely receded, and it had nothing to do with their hustle and bustle.

"Don't you think this atmosphere is enviable, Terumi Mei?"

"I don't think, because their joy is all based on our constant defeats."

I haven't seen her for nearly three months. Terumi Mei's temperament is obviously much more mature than before, and her whole person has begun to transform into a capable and reliable strong woman temperament, but in contrast, her figure has become a lot thinner. , The dark circles between her brows and her eyes also became particularly obvious, she looked like she had changed from a carefree young girl of thirteen or fourteen years old to an oppressed toiler who hated to marry a female social animal.

"……Thanks a lot."

Kaguya Rei, who knew why Terumi Mei became like this, took out the apology gift she bought on the way, and carefully placed it on her desk full of various logistical information and front-line intelligence.

Terumi Mei glanced at the beautiful clothes in the gift, as well as the sweets that looked very appetizing, and sighed slowly. She lay down on the table in front of her, and complained in a low voice with her eyes blank:

"You didn't tell me that you would be gone for such a long time, pity..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that I would stay in Ryudi Cave for so long..." Hui Yelian held Terumi Mei's low body temperature and apologized very sincerely: "There will be no such thing in the future. Something happened."

"It doesn't matter if you run away alone, at least Konoha did send out a lot of intelligence personnel in order to find your trace, and the pressure on the front line has also been reduced a lot... But who can tell me why there are seven ninja swordsmen All such important frontline commanders will be suddenly recruited to carry out the mission together, and then they will be almost dismissed in the first battle?"

Terumi Mei slammed the table in front of her, and yelled out in exasperation:

"Five people who died didn't get any results, not to mention, and also exposed all the real information about our frontline's lack of command and combat power to the people of Konoha. If it wasn't for pity you left behind several secret medicines, we would have He was chased back into the sea by Konoha's people in one breath."

"No way, if the leadership is worse, it's obviously our side that's worse," Hui Yelian sighed and said helplessly: "The top executives of Konoha are just greedy for power and don't want to make progress. But she is ruling with the aim of completely destroying the future of Kiriyuki..."

"So are you ready, Rei?"

"What kind of preparation?"

"Prepare for defeating the purpose of three generations."

Terumi Mei lowered her voice, stared straight at Kaguya Rei's snake-shaped vertical pupils, and said in a low voice:

"Because of the relationship between Loquat Shizang and Xiguashan puffer fish who have both returned to the village to recover from their injuries, during this period of time, I, who had the most outstanding record, was basically in charge of the front line command, although I couldn't destroy the land like it did when you were there. We fought back all Konoha's people, but at least we didn't let our front line continue to retreat.

In addition, relying on the secret medicine you gave me, I have seriously injured the relationship of several elites on Konoha's side. The mist ninjas on the front line are already very convinced of me. In addition, the third generation has been in a series of series since the start of the war. Wrong decision, they are also accumulating dissatisfaction with the purpose of the third generation, so...you understand, pity? "

"With you in command at the front, they wouldn't necessarily support the overly young me in the coup d'état, but they wouldn't necessarily continue to support the rule of that unknowable guy from Sandaime, right?"

Kaguya narrowed her eyes and asked thoughtfully.

"No, the probability that they will support you in your position will actually be higher than you expected."

Terumi Mei shook her head and opened her mouth to correct Kaguya Rei's overly conservative inference.

"The last time the third generation made a move was many, many years ago. For the village, this will help protect the intelligence and mystery of the shadow, and it will also prevent the enemies of the outer village from judging what the shadow has now. The power of the village makes them have to be cautious when launching actions against the village..."

"But it will also make the new generation of ninjas in the village unable to intuitively feel the power of the shadow, and thus question the power of the shadow, especially when the new generation of ninjas have a record that can only be exaggerated. When described as a strong man."

Terumi Mei pointed at Kaguya Rei, and said with some emotion:

"Twice defeated and seriously injured Konoha's yellow flash, defeated Orochimaru in Konoha's three ninjas one-on-one, and killed Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo's root elite with one enemy and multiple groups, forcing Orochimaru Maru left his comrades and fled for his life in embarrassment, and even took the corpse of Shimura Danzo, who has the title of "Darkness of Forbearance", to the black market for money..."

"Even a child who grew up listening to all kinds of rumors about the third generation will take it for granted that you are the stronger one, Rei."

"that's true."

After Kaguya nodded and said yes, the two fell into a brief silence. Looking at Terumi Mei's thin body and the lingering tiredness around her eyes, Kaguya took a deep breath. Shen Sheng asked:
"I really don't need me to help you deal with the situation on the front line, Terumi Mei?"

"I've been holding on for so long, and it's okay to hold on for a few more days."

Terumi Mei shook her head, her eyes fixed, "Even if we can win a few games with your help, the current manpower can no longer control more areas... It's too late to allow the third generation to continue to sit in that position. It's time to go, pity."

"No, if it's possible, I hope he can be a water shadow for a while." Hui Yelian shook her head and replied like this.

"why!?"

Terumi Mei's eyes and tone suddenly became sharp.

"Our number of ninjas can't even hold up a larger defense zone. You don't think we can win this war, do you, Terumi Mei?"

Kaguya rolled her eyes and reluctantly spread her hands towards Terumi Mei:
"Since I can't win, it is inevitable to have peace talks with Konoha. I don't want the first big thing I do after I become Mizukage is to sign the 'peace agreement' with Konoha... "

"That's true... I have to let the third generation bear the humiliation he asked for himself."

Terumi Mei nodded in approval.

"Then, I'll go back to the village first? Although it is said that the moment I came back, the intelligence officers under Sandaimu should have passed the news of my return back, but I should still be able to grab the third generation and prepare everything. It started before."

"Be careful, pity. After all, the third generation is the shadow of the village, and he has been operating in the position of the water shadow for so long, no one can tell how many cards he has in his hand, even if you are now an immortal, It's still small..."

"Lord Terumi Mei! It's not good!"

Before Terumi Mei's exhortation before parting was over, a Chunin who was in charge of delivering information hurriedly pushed in the door and shouted at Terumi Mei:

"The people of the Uchiha clan have brought Konoha's ninja over to attack again... That Uchiha Fugaku, and the recently famous Shunshi Zhishui, are all inside!"

"I'll be there right away..."

Terumi Mei subconsciously reached out and grabbed her johnin uniform, ready to go into battle to take over Uchiha Fugaku, a rival that others were difficult to deal with, but before she could pick up her clothes, Kaguya Rei reached out and grabbed her. The slender, pale wrists shook his head lightly at her.

"Come on, just treat it as a warm-up exercise before the race."

"Hmph, it's all your fault that you've been away for too long. I almost forgot how it feels to be safe behind you when you encounter troublesome enemies."

"Didn't I come back~"

Chunin, who passed the information, widened his eyes, looked at the battlefield legend who had not seen him for a long time in the room, and called out his name in surprise and joy.

"Lord Hui Yelian!? You, are you back?!"

"Well, I'm back."

　Pulled over, I'll update it today...
