Chapter 141 The Masked Man and Mei Terumi: A Powerful Master and Disciple
Somewhere in the ninja world, a man wearing an orange-red swirling mask, gazing at the starry sky, suddenly focused his gaze, and the pupil of his right eye beneath the mask turned a sinister crimson.
"Hmm? This is..." He murmured almost inaudibly, and his body instantly spun and twisted around his right eye, entering another space.
"That guy? It took him so many years to truly awaken that eye, what a waste..." The masked man glanced at the suddenly appearing half-corpse and snorted coldly with indifferent eyes.
But just as he finished speaking, another slightly cheerful voice rang out from under the mask, "Never mind the trash for now! By the way, do you want to go and retrieve that eye? After all, the Mangekyou Sharingan can only unleash the true power of the Uchiha when both eyes are combined."
"It doesn't matter! That guy, along with that eye and this world, has long been abandoned by me. Don't think that just because he has activated the kaleidoscope, he has experienced this hellish world of despair! It's just a gift that I gave up. Compared to my pain, he's just a stranger indulging in illusory bonds."
"Afei, our next goal is to collect the tailed beasts to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan and create a dream world with Rin! On that day, this hopeless and worthless world will have no reason to continue existing."
"Everything, including that piece of trash, will be transformed into nourishment for building a new world..."
"Is that so? You can decide for yourself. Anyway, Kakashi's body can't handle the load of the Mangekyou Sharingan, so he poses no threat to our plans." The voice of Tobi echoed through the space once again.
Watching the man throw the half-body out of the space to feed the dogs, then silence fell...
Meanwhile, in the waters of the Land of Water.
"Explanation? Since you're here now, you should have seen the battle just now. The enemy's target was your Kirigakure's Chunichi Jonin, which is not Konoha's responsibility. Lady Terumi Mei..." Kakashi looked at the woman opposite him without showing any weakness, but inwardly cursed his bad luck.
He had secretly gathered information about this woman during negotiations with Kirigakure; she was an extremely powerful dual-bloodline ninja. Rumor had it that she was also the hero who ended the Fourth Mizukage's tyranny and, with the support of many Kirigakure ninja, was a potential candidate to become the next Mizukage.
"Is that so? But I only saw the entire Chunji squad wiped out, while your Konoha ninjas suffered no casualties! Hatake Kakashi, without a reasonable explanation, all previous agreements are null and void. Furthermore, Kirigakure will declare war on Konoha!" Terumi Mei bit her red lips tightly, her gaze flickering towards that unusual Sharingan with a strange glint in her eyes.
The guy who controlled the Fourth Mizukage had those kinds of eyes. Could Konoha be behind the Fourth Mizukage incident?
As for the truth behind the annihilation of the Sino-Kyrgyz squad, does that still matter now?
Although Ao had already seen from a kilometer away that Nakaji had been absorbed and merged by Hiru's Breath, and that Kakashi had defeated him.
"Declare war?" Kakashi's eyes turned cold, then his left eye turned crimson and lightning crackled around him. "If you can represent Kirigakure, Konoha has no fear of the challenge."
"I wonder if Kirigakure will still have the strength to make a move if I leave you here!"
"You..." Hearing Kakashi's sharp and unyielding retort, Mei Terumi's face stiffened, and she was a little dumbfounded.
No, according to Konoha's style, shouldn't they try to apologize, make compensation, and then resolve the matter peacefully to avoid war?
Why isn't this guy playing by the rules?
After the tyranny of the Fourth Hokage and the escape of many elites, if Kirigakure were to actually go to war with Konoha now, Master Yuan and the Kirigakure leadership would be the first to disagree!
She is currently only a highly popular candidate for Mizukage, not the actual Fifth Mizukage who can represent the village in declaring war on Konoha.
But now, facing Kakashi's strength, she cannot afford to back down and let him see through the illusion of the Hidden Mist, thus bringing real disaster to the village.
Kakashi, on the other hand, was absolutely confident in his own strength and would never allow Kirigakure to take advantage of the situation! Starting a war was out of the question, but he could still intimidate them.
As the two men drew their swords, Genma and his two companions, along with the Mist Hidden Clan, were also poised for battle, creating a tense situation.
"Um, let me say something..." Just as the atmosphere between the two sides was tense and a conflict was about to break out, Ishikawa, who was next to Kakashi, suddenly spoke up, his left eye turning red.
Under the strange gazes of Kakashi and Mei Terumi, Ishikawa pointed at the one-eyed dragon, Kirigakure, and said, "That Byakugan that's been covered up, shouldn't you give Konoha an explanation?"
"Byakugan!!" Both sides changed color instantly upon hearing Ishikawa's question, especially Kakashi and the others, whose eyes flickered and turned cold.
The Byakugan's ability to silently flow out of the Hidden Mist is a reality that Konoha cannot accept.
"Hmph, these are spoils of war I obtained in the last great battle!" Seeing this, Kirigakure Ao immediately explained unhappily, unwilling to give Konoha an excuse for him to make a fuss.
But who is Ishikawa? Of course he knows the origin of that white eye, but sometimes facts are not the same as facts.
"You can't just say whatever you want. As that woman just said, without a reasonable explanation, we'll just assume that your Hidden Mist Village secretly infiltrated Konoha to steal the Hyuga Byakugan. This is a provocation against Konoha, an attempt to challenge the Hokage's bottom line."
"Furthermore, I don't believe you didn't see the facts just now, given your white eye. Now you're using this so-called truth as an excuse to make trouble and extort money from me!"
"If you really want war, Konoha will fight to the bitter end." As he said the last sentence, Ishikawa drew his white fangs, which gleamed with a fluorescent light, showing no fear whatsoever.
No one knows the truth about Wuyin better than him!
If a real war breaks out, Konoha, apart from the Third Hokage Danzo, at least has Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the newly promoted Kage Kakashi as its main fighting force. But Kirigakure, apart from Mei Terumi, has no one else who can be considered for a fight.
Facing Kakashi with Kamui's headlock, let alone Mei Terumi, even the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, a peak Kage-level expert, would have to kneel down if he came!
"Hmph, we of Kirigakure aren't as unreasonable as you make us out to be." Facing Ishikawa's aggressive questioning, Terumi Mei snorted coldly and stiffly turned her head. "Ao, what did you just see?"
"Ahem, I was just about to report to you! What they said is correct. The Jonin Chuji was their target. The people from Konoha just happened to encounter and defeat them to avenge Chuji." The experienced Ao knew exactly what Mei Terumi was thinking, and immediately took the opportunity to explain the situation and give both sides a way out.
At present, Kirigakure is in a state of disarray, recuperating and rebuilding. Going to war at this time would be detrimental to Kirigakure in every way!
"Is it a misunderstanding? Then let's put the matter of Zhongji aside and continue with our previous agreement." Mei Terumi said, feigning an air of superiority, and looked at the group with a fake smile.
"Hehe! Since you've said so, Miss, we in Konoha are very tolerant. Since that Byakugan is your spoils of war, let's leave it at that. On the battlefield, it's all about the survival of the fittest." Ishikawa smiled brightly, calmly enjoying his eye candy before retreating.
"This is a cooperation agreement prepared by our Hokage. If you can represent Kirigakure to sign the agreement, the Lightning Blade will be returned on the spot." Kakashi looked at Ishikawa with appreciation and took out a scroll, tossing it over.
“Of course.” Mei Terumi, who was already authorized, responded with a faint smile, but her emerald green eyes inadvertently swept over Ishikawa meaningfully.
What's wrong with that guy's eyes? How can he see the whites of blue eyes?
Furthermore, even if this clever Konoha boy is handsome, he's still incredibly annoying! He actually disrupted her plans; she'll definitely teach him a lesson next time they meet…
