Chapter 17 A ghost who has killed people cannot become everyone’s hero
Mangekyou Sharingan and... Wood Release?
As a talented ninja from a long-standing ninja clan, Terumi Mei is no stranger to these two terms.
But it was precisely because Terumi Mei knew what kind of power these two terms symbolized. When she heard Kaguya Rei linking the reason for the mission's failure to a Konoha ninja who possessed both powers, she Only then could she more clearly feel the pressure that almost suffocated her.
"Konoha...has even trained monster ninjas of that level?"
Terumi Mei seemed to have lost all her strength, leaning feebly on the scarred tree beside her. She looked at the black blood still remaining in the wound on the tree trunk, and then looked at the fact that there was nothing in her eyes. The fake Kaguya Rei crossed her arms and asked tremblingly:
"Then, those people who were sacrificed in the village, those feelings that we abandoned, all the efforts we have made in order to become stronger, in order to one day grab more land and solve the lack of resources in the Water Country , so what does it count?”
"Is he just a poor man who relies on his cold and cruel style to prop up the face of the village and pretends that he has not fallen out of the ranks of the great powers?"
"This is what is called, if the route is wrong, the harder you work, the further away you will be from success."
Kaguya Rei walked forward slowly, patted Mi Mei on the shoulder, and said sincerely:
"Now, do you understand why I said what I just said, and why I brought you to this place to say this, Ming?"
"I don't understand."
"Well……"
Being choked by Terumi Mei's sudden willful speech, Kaguya Rei couldn't help but take two steps back in embarrassment. Looking at Terumi Mei who was lowering his head and feeling depressed, he asked hesitantly:
"Specifically, what do you don't understand? I, I can give you a further explanation..."
"Fool."
Seeing Kaguya Rei's serious expression that she really wanted to explain to herself, Terumi Mei had no choice but to put away the little willfulness that she subconsciously showed to protect her soul after hearing the shocking facts, and cursed in a low voice. After Kaguya expressed pity, she said in a low voice:
"Learn to read the atmosphere a little bit... At this time, shouldn't I show some manliness that can restore my hope?"
"mine."
Kaguya Rei decisively accepted the small pot that couldn't understand the air, and such a crisp and neat behavior also allowed Terumi Mei to see from him that his usual style of behavior was hard to understand, but yet he The young man who has always brought confidence to those around him patted his plump and straight chest with some relief. Terumi Mei seemed to have remembered something and asked curiously:
"Just now Lian said so many things at once that I couldn't turn my head. But now that I think about it, when you talked about the failure of the mission, your tone didn't seem to be too worried about those two things. A monster-like Konoha ninja?"
"After all, those two people were beaten by me..." Kaguya Rei whistled easily, "Without me, there won't be even one person left in the team who can come back to report the news. .”
"I knew it."
Most of the gloom on Terumi Mei's face suddenly dissipated, and her beautiful green eyes once again showed a lively brilliance. She lightly punched Rei Kaguya on the shoulder and said with a little bit of imperceptible embarrassment. :
"Since Lianyou can still go out to eat dumplings without any rush after returning to the village, and is still in the mood to call me here to say such a bunch of treason, how could this be a complete disregard for his own strength? Actions taken without confidence..."
"Then it's the same question as before, do you understand, Ming?"
Kaguya smiled and punched back, while asking again.
"I guess I understand," Terumi Mei grabbed Kaguya Rei's fist and carefully left a crescent-shaped mark on the back of his hand with her nails, "You want to wait until the Third Lord officially declares war on Konoha?" In the past, we launched a coup against the Third Generation, replaced him, and canceled our plans to intervene in the Third Ninja War, right, Rei?"
"Tsk, I see you still don't understand it at all."
Hearing this, Kaguya Rei couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said angrily:
"How could you challenge the Sandaime before declaring war on Konoha? Are you dizzy, Terumi Mei?"
"ah?"
Seeing Mei Terumi's expression of confusion and confusion, Kaguya Rei reached out and flicked her forehead lightly, and explained with sincerity:
"Stupid, it's been a long, long time since Kirigakure Village last participated in a large-scale war...so long that every ninja in the village has accumulated a lot of emotions that can only be fully vented through a cruel war.
And now, a Konoha that seems to have been exhausted by years of multi-front battles is right in front of them.
Do you think most people in the village will carefully investigate Konoha's current remaining combat power and decide whether to declare war on Konoha after careful evaluation, or will they regard this as the only thing in their lives and never leave Konoha? Given the opportunity to seize a large and fertile land in Ye's hands, why not rush forward without hesitation? "
"……the latter."
Although she felt very unhappy, Terumi Mei could only pinch her nose and admit the fact that most ninjas in the village held the latter idea.
"Isn't it going to be easy after that?"
Kaguya Rei spread her hands and "predicted" Kirigakure Village's next actions in sharp words:
"Since the ninjas from top to bottom want a war, no matter what the leader Kage thinks, he must respond to the demands of the ninjas in this village and start a war that allows them to unleash themselves. OK.
But this war against Konoha is impossible to win. The gap in hard power between Kirigakure and Konoha is so big that Konoha only needs to liberate Namikaze Minato from the border between Thunder and Earth. If you come out, you can win this war one-sidedly.
Kirigakure's current weakness is the bitter result of the Sandaime's wrong policies. If a coup takes power at this time, wouldn't he have to bear all the blame for the defeat of the war and wrong decisions? Whoever likes to do this kind of stupid thing can do it, but I have no interest in it anyway. "
"So, Rei's idea is-" Terumi Mei narrowed her eyes, feeling that she vaguely caught Kaguya Rei's train of thought.
"Of course, after the war against Konoha was completely defeated, as a war hero active on the battlefield, he launched an impeachment against the Sandaime who had seriously neglected his duties, and naturally took over the position of the Fourth Mizukage."
Kaguya Rei stretched out her claw-shaped right hand towards the sky, and said with madness in her eyes:
"The Sandaime who represented the erroneous idea of Blood Mist and the die-hards who believed in his theory ended together with the defeat of the war. They were defeated by the new generation of forces who fought bravely on the battlefield but were helpless. Instead, let us, the people of the new era, restore the glory of Kirigakure. Is there any better script than this, Ming?"
"A failed war will kill many, many people, pity."
Terumi Mei looked at Kaguya Rei's arrogant and wanton figure, her red lips slightly opened, and she reminded in a low voice:
"Doesn't it matter even if you have to watch many of your comrades die in front of you?"
Hearing this, Kaguya Rei's body stiffened for a moment. He slowly turned around and looked at Mei Terumi, with an ugly smile on his face that was made up of bitterness and self-deprecation.
"I am a ghost who successfully graduated from the ninja school after killing my best friend. I am no longer worthy of being a pure hero who saves everyone."
"that's true."
Terumi Mei walked forward and awkwardly put Kaguya Rei's somewhat cold left hand in his own, interlocking their fingers.
How can a person who was born in the blood mist have any qualifications to become a hero who stands in the light and saves everyone?
"The war is coming soon... You have to live well, Terumi Mei. When the day comes that I will impeach and challenge the Sandaime, I hope that among the guards standing behind me to block the secret arrows for me, there will be yours. Figure."
Feeling the light body temperature transmitted from Terumi Mei's hand, looking up at the sky with dark clouds and storm approaching, Kaguya Rei whispered to the beauty standing next to her.
"Is he just your bodyguard?" Terumi Mei gently lifted the bangs on her forehead, revealing her rarely seen right eye, and looked at Kaguya Rei's side face quietly, "As Rong Dun and Fei As a holder of two kinds of blood inheritance boundaries, I am more or less proud of myself, right?"
"Yes, yes, I know you want to be Mizukage's woman, but don't worry, after I bring Kirigakure back to the right path, I will leave you with the opportunity to challenge this position. "
Saying a pun joke that probably no one else in the world would understand, Kaguya Rei closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment of peace with peace of mind.
