Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 90
"It's so cold. As a man, is this how you react to an invitation from a beautiful woman?"

Seeing that she was still teasing him, Zheya had to cough twice:

"Ahem, um, I already have a sweetheart, Mizukage-sama."

"I'll just say, okay."

Terumi Mei finally started to be serious:

"What were we like before? I believe you have done your homework before coming here. The Fourth Mizukage implemented a cruel and bloody blood mist policy internally, and completely closed off communication with the outside world. For a long time, Kirigakure has been in the ninja world. It seems that we have become a transparent existence, everyone knows about us, but there seems to be nothing to care about.”

As a Mizukage, her words were very revealing. After all, the Fourth Mizukage was also the former supreme leader of Kirigakure Village. According to the general idea, it is normal to cover up one's predecessor, not to mention her words are still true. Said by a ninja from another village.

But it was obvious that Terumi Mei was speaking in a very candid and sincere manner.

Tetsuya nodded slightly. His understanding of Kirigakure was naturally extraordinary. Not to mention the memories he had obtained, more information from God's perspective was impossible for Terumi Mei to guess.

"But now, Kirigakure is going to make a change."

Terumi Mei's mature and charming face showed a seriousness that was completely opposite to before. She looked at Tetsuya and said word by word:
"We will no longer be like before, burying our heads in our own one-third of an acre of land, closing our eyes and being like ostriches. Of course, I don't mean that Kirigakure wants to compete with the other four ninja villages. I just want to express my friendly wishes to you. Announcing one thing, Kirigakure will return to the ninja world and establish a normal relationship with everyone."

"Do you know what I mean?"

"So, Mizukage-sama, you want to tell us Konoha that Kirigakure wants to be friends with Konoha?"

Zhe also gave his own understanding.

"Friends or enemies, it's hard to talk about this kind of thing after all, but I can guarantee that if conditions permit, Kirigakure is of course willing to become friends with Konoha."

"But of course they won't be friends like Suna Ninja and Konoha. After all, some people's nerves are particularly sensitive."

It can be said that the relationship between Sand Ninja and Konoha has been maintained for a long time. The weakest party has formed an alliance with the strongest party to jointly resist the pressure from Iwagakure and Kumogakure.But if Kirigakure joins the ranks of this alliance, a certain balance will be broken, and I think Yanyin and Yunyin will not allow this to happen.

Zheye tasted her meaning carefully, and after a long time nodded gently:

"I understand, Mizukage-sama, I will report it to the Fifth Hokage-sama exactly as it is."

"That would be the best."

The woman showed a satisfied smile and expressed her kindness towards Zheya:

"If you have any requests next, feel free to ask for them. As long as it's not too much, I, as the Mizukage, can agree to it. This can also be considered as preferential treatment for a friend. You must never do nothing while taking advantage of it!"

"Whatever Mizukage-sama said, I, Tetsuya Yamanaka, am definitely not that kind of person!"

……

After the conversation with Terumi Mei, time passed quickly, and the succession ceremony of the Fifth Mizukage will be officially held today.

In front of the Mizukage Building, civilians and ninjas gathered to watch.

Of course, there is nothing special about this ceremony. It is similar to the well-known Hokage succession ceremony. If the predecessor is still alive, of course the handover must be carried out in person, but if the previous Kage dies unexpectedly, then a highly respected figure needs to go first. Go to the front desk and host the ceremony.

Standing on the high platform, speaking to the ninjas and civilians was an old man with white hair and beard. His trembling appearance made people wonder if he might suddenly collapse on the stage.

Zheya didn't pay special attention to what this person said.

He was chatting with Gaara beside him.

The person sent by Suna Ninja Village was none other than Gaara, whose state had greatly changed. Although he still looked like he had thick dark circles under his eyes and was severely deprived of sleep, his mental state was completely different from what Tetsuya had seen before. .

"Why do you look so uncomfortable and didn't sleep well?"

Zhe also found that this guy was a little sluggish, thinking that he was still suffering from insomnia, and he still didn't sleep well last night.Gaara arrived yesterday evening, and Tetsuya didn't see him until this morning. He originally thought that the envoy from the Sand Ninja would be late for the ceremony.

"no."

The brown-red haired boy was still carrying the huge gourd on his back, standing there with his arms folded, his dark eye circles slightly squinting:

"My insomnia has gotten much better. Since I changed my mind, it's no longer a problem."

"so what"

"This was my first time on a boat. I didn't expect to get seasick. It didn't get better after I got off the boat. I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable now."

He said it very calmly, not feeling embarrassed at all because of his seasickness.

"That's it. Then you have to be prepared. You will have to sit on the boat for a few more days when you go back."

Zhe was also sympathetic and very understanding.

He also suffered from motion sickness before. He even vomited all over the floor while riding the subway. This problem has not completely disappeared since then and has always existed.

Although that feeling is far away, it still makes people tremble when thinking about it.

I have been living in the land of sand ninja, so it is normal to have problems such as seasickness. After all, it is estimated that there will be no chance of taking a boat in the desert in my life.

"This kind of problem is actually not big. I heard that seasickness can be treated. You just need to stay on the boat for a while, and you can slowly overcome it."

"Really? How long will that take?"

Zhe also thought for a while and replied:
"I'm not sure. It may vary from person to person. Some people can return to normal after being dizzy for a few days, while others may need to be dizzy for more than ten days, or a month?"

"That's too long"

Gaara was a little disappointed, thinking that he would have to take a boat for a few more days on the way back to the village, which gave him a headache.

While the two were chatting, people started to make noise.

The figure of Terumi Mei appeared on the high platform, smiling and waving to everyone.

"Speaking of which, did Mizukage-sama look for you last night?"

Zheya casually asked about a relatively sensitive matter.

"Not yet, maybe because we understand the hard work we have been doing. Anyway, we won't return to the village immediately after the ceremony. There is still time."

Gaara replied lightly, as if he didn't realize that this question involved some more important content.

"Then I have to remind you to be careful about this Fifth Mizukage."

Tetsuya said in a mysterious tone.

"What? Could it be Kirigakure."

Gaara's first reaction was that Kirigakure Village was planning to do harm to them, but then he thought that unless the woman standing on the stage was a fool, it would be impossible to let anything happen to their envoys.

So he was also very suspicious. Halfway through his words, he turned to look at Zheye:

"What do you want to say?"

"It's like this. I discovered a secret. This Fifth Mizukage named Terumi Mei seems to be a Shotacon!"

"What do you mean?"

Gaara's head was full of questions. Although he knew that Tetsuya wasn't talking about anything nice, he really couldn't understand the meaning of this word.

"I mean, this guy likes very young boys."

Gaara's brain turned a few times before he realized the meaning of this sentence.

He looked at Zheye in shock:

"You won't sacrifice yourself."

Seeing that he was thinking wrongly, Zheye's balls ached:
"There is no sacrifice without sacrifice, that's it."

……

Terumi Mei didn't know that someone in the audience was fabricating rumors about herself. She was in a very happy mood at this time. The eyes of many ninjas and civilians surrounding the audience fell on her, shouting something like "Mizukage-sama!" "The Fifth Mizukage!" and other words like this, the fanatical atmosphere is spreading.

This made her feel that Kirigakure's people were not broken up after all, and the path she wanted to take probably wouldn't be as difficult as she imagined.

The crazy shouts and cheers gradually began to calm down.

Terumi Mei counted the time silently in her mind, and felt that it was almost there, so she wanted to start speaking some words to her villagers and subordinates.

But at this moment, an ANBU appeared directly next to her without any scruples.

"Mizukage-sama, Three-Tails"

"What did you say!"

Terumi Mei's expression changed after hearing this, and she immediately teleported to Ao, who was guarding the corner of the high platform not far away. She whispered a few words, then teleported again and disappeared from the scene.

The sudden change caused many people to start making noise again.

Those who reacted the fastest were experienced Jnin such as Kakashi and Samui. They raised their guard and came to their teammates and subordinates to exchange information in low voices.

Also in the area where the envoys from each village were, the pretty girl wearing a rock ninja forehead protector grinned and said to her companions:

"What's wrong with Wuyin, the protagonist of the good ceremony suddenly disappeared, did something important happen?"

"I don't know, but it must be an extremely important matter, otherwise Mizukage wouldn't leave suddenly at this time."

The girl who asked the question was named Kurotsuchi. She was the granddaughter of the third Tsuchikage. She was already a Jonin at a young age and served as the captain of the messenger of Iwagakure Village.

However, she didn't have any stable posture at all, and she couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this:

"Oh, it's really boring. If someone is causing sabotage, and if people suspect us, we will be put under house arrest here."

As Heitu said, he stretched his waist, his joints crackling:

"Let's take a look at the situation. If Kirigakure really wants to do something bad, we have to break out of the encirclement."

"Is this possible?"

One of her companions worried.

"What are you afraid of? Look over there. Konoha has Kakashi Hatake, Kumogakure has Samui, plus us and the Suna Ninja, there will definitely be a chance to escape Kirigakure Village."

The Kakashi mentioned by Kurotsuchi is talking to Tetsuya.

"With the current situation, we can only wait and see what happens. I hope nothing bad happens in Kirigakure, so the possibility of anger being directed at us will be much smaller."

He was analyzing his reaction in a very calm manner. Unlike Iwagakure's Kurotsuchi, Kakashi had not considered the possibility of taking action against Kirigakure at all.

This is in a village, and there are all Kirigakure ninjas around.

Under such an unexpected situation, if you want to leave in the center of Kirigakure Village, surrounded by enemies, the chance of success is close to zero.
