Terumi Mei's heart was stirred with emotion.

The difficulty of "boiling" escape is much greater than that of "melting" escape.

The gas that Kiyoshi just exhaled was less than one percent as powerful as her "Boiling" escape technique.

However, it should be noted that she has been training continuously ever since she mastered the "Boiling" and "Melting" techniques at the Ninja Academy.

How long did it take Qing Si?

This understanding of the nature of chakra, and the ability to manipulate chakra, has reached an extremely astonishing level.

She had never met such a person in her life.

This made Mei Terumi begin to doubt whether it would be appropriate to hand over the Third Tsuchikage's "Dust" Release, which transcends the bloodline limit, to Kiyoshi.

Could Kiyoshi also learn it in a short period of time?

"What's wrong? Are you surprised?"

Kiyoshi chuckled, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

The white mist he exhaled only corroded the surface layer; the liquid inside remained unaffected.

"Mei Terumi, haven't you ever wondered why I'm so strong?"

Qing Si suddenly asked.

"why?"

Terumi Mei blurted out.

As soon as she finished speaking, she began to regret it.

Kiyoshi is from the Uchiha clan, so isn't it normal for him to be strong?

Among the many bloodline limits, the Uchiha clan is among the most outstanding.

Not only does it increase basic panel attributes, it also grants the ability to see through chakra flow and copy ninjutsu.

And unparalleled genjutsu abilities; a single glance could render other ninjas ensnared by Sharingan genjutsu, making them impossible to defend against.

Most ninjas can only train themselves to fight by watching the enemy's toes, which limits their strength.

Do you know anything about "immortal arts"?

Kiyoshi said again.

"……Know."

Mei Terumi didn't understand what Kiyoshi was trying to say.

Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, was skilled in "Sage Mode," so various countries have conducted research on the obscure "Sage Mode."

Later, Kiyoshi Uchiha frequently used "Sage Mode," which further increased the popularity of "Sage Mode."

Unfortunately, the locations of the three holy lands are elusive and the difficulty of cultivation is extremely high.

Luck and talent are both indispensable.

"This power is actually very easy to master."

Flame-burning curse marks gradually appeared on Kiyoshi's body, resembling Sasuke's appearance when he activated the first stage of the curse mark.

He used the power of the cursed seal alone.

"The chakra has changed..."

Mei Terumi keenly noticed this.

"This can be achieved as long as the curse mark is planted."

Kiyoshi said it casually.

The izakayas here use traditional low tables.

Therefore, Terumi Mei is kneeling.

Mei Terumi is dressed the same way she did yesterday.

Kiyoshi could easily see Terumi Mei's bent thighs.

Black fishnet stockings encased her rounded thighs, the taut, slightly pale skin peeking out from the mesh, giving her a somewhat fleshy appearance.

That undisguised, burning gaze made Terumi Mei so angry she wanted to punch Kiyoshi.

However, her reason clearly told her that she couldn't do that.

Since the Hidden Mist Village is the one that took the initiative to seek peace, it must adopt a corresponding attitude of submission.

If war breaks out again, she will be a great sinner of Kirigakure.

Whether they can defeat Kiyoshi is another question altogether.

At this distance, she has no advantage against Kiyoshi.

So Mei Terumi forcefully suppressed her emotions, and even a smile began to appear on her lips.

She seemed to have transformed back into that languid and alluring beauty.

A ninja is someone who can endure.

Within the dark and oppressive blood mist, the crimson flowers that bloom will know better than anyone else how to endure.

"Why should I believe you?"

Mei Terumi asked, picked up the wine glass on the table, and took a small sip.

The supple lips instantly gained a more moisturizing color.

"Because you don't have time."

Kiyoshi took out a tube of black reagent.

Kiyoshi modified the cursed seal that Orochimaru gave him.

After analyzing that it was a pure curse mark, Kiyoshi had his puppet clone extract the enzymes from Jugo's cells.

Finally, he added his own cells, which then engulfed and adapted to the enzymes.

The final result is that the cursed seal will contain Kiyoshi's cells and chakra.

If Kiyoshi dies, he can be resurrected in a suitable host of the cursed seal.

Orochimaru used this principle.

However, he needs external help; other ninjas need to use his cells as a medium to recall his soul and thus revive him in the body of the cursed seal host.

Sasuke used this method to revive Orochimaru inside Anko and make him emerge.

"You're probably guessing that the Fourth Mizukage has been put under a genjutsu, right?"

Kiyoshi's casual words startled Terumi Mei so much that she almost jumped up from the tatami mat.

"!"

Mei Terumi gripped her wine glass tightly, her first thought being Ringo Ameyuri.

Did Ringo Ameyuri tell Kiyoshi about this?

How deep is their relationship?

At this moment, Mei Terumi began to suspect that Ringo Ameyuri was a spy left behind by Kiyoshi.

"Don't be surprised. Anyone who is smart and attentive can see the clues. I'm sure you're not the only one who has noticed."

Qingsi said calmly.

In the original work, many people noticed that Yagura Karatachi was acting strangely.

For example, Momochi Zabuza.

He wandered the ninja world, looking every bit the ambitious man.

In reality, Hozuki Suigetsu and others still called him a hero.

Why would someone call a rogue ninja a hero?

It was because he wanted to assassinate Yagura Karatachi through a coup and change everything in Kirigakure.

Unfortunately, he failed in the end. Zabuza Momochi escaped from the Land of Water and met Haku on the way. He also had a brief encounter with Kimimaro.

And they long for the day when they can return to Mist Village.

Even though he became a rogue ninja, there were no scratches on his Kirigakure headband.

Aside from Zabuza Momochi, Mangetsu Hozuki and Ao are also considered ambitious individuals.

Without them, Mei Terumi alone would have had no chance of overthrowing the Blood Mist Village and dethroning the Fourth Mizukage.

"...Ringo Ameyuri once told me that you could tell that the Fourth Mizukage had been shrouded in illusion."

Terumi Meido.

"Yes, I just mentioned it to her casually, but the reason you believe it now is probably because you already had some doubts."

Kiyoshi shook the curse seal reagent, and the liquid inside sloshed around.

Mei Terumi gripped the hem of her blue skirt tightly, her knuckles turning white.

She didn't know how Kiyoshi got the information, but the result was very likely as Kiyoshi had said.

Of course, the final result will only be known when they use the last remaining Byakugan of Kirigakure to observe the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi.

"With such an event, Kirigakure will inevitably fall into internal strife. Your desire to take advantage of this opportunity to become the Fifth Mizukage is inextricably linked to your strength."

Qingsi said calmly.

In the ninja world, no matter where you are, strength is the most important thing.

Hashirama is so easygoing that he can kneel down to those weaker than him, but would anyone dare to offend him?

Which of the original five Kage didn't fear Hashirama?

This is strength.

In the Blood Mist Land, where strength reigns supreme, such things become even more brutal and commonplace.

For Terumi to obtain the position of Mizukage during the chaotic period when Yagura Karatachi lost power, she must be stronger than the other Mizukage candidates.

According to the official guidebook of the "Book of Formations," Kirigakure regards the oldest elder in each generation as "elders," who are responsible for leading the village's political affairs.

The Mizukage is the strongest person in the village.

Therefore, Kirigakure, like Konoha and Sunagakure, practices a system of decentralization.

Water reflections cannot be used to make definitive judgments.

Kiyoshi's words lingered in Terumi Mei's heart.

Fifth generation Mizukage.

This has indeed been her goal all along.

From the day she resolved to change Kirigakure, Mei Terumi has been striving toward that goal.

"The next Mizukage may not necessarily be more conservative than the current Yagura Karatachi; he may even be more radical."

Kiyoshi tells Terumi Mei about a terrible future.

This is normal.

The new generation of Kirigakure who grew up in a distorted environment may well have some who wholeheartedly support such policies. Their minds will be more or less distorted and influenced by the survival-of-the-fittest mentality of the Blood Mist Village.

After all, in the original work, Yagura Karatachi was neglected because Ao saw through his illusion, not because the Blood Mist Village was too dark.

He later died at the hands of the Akatsuki organization, which allowed Mei Terumi to take over.

Now, thanks to his influence, Blood Mist Village has been in effect for several years longer than in the original story.

The deeper the darkness and contradictions accumulated in the hearts of the ninjas of Kirigakure, the less likely Yagura Karatachi would survive.

The coup will be more intense, and casualties are likely to occur during the process of breaking the illusion.

Illusions aren't something you can just break free of. Even with so many people surrounding Kurama (the Nine-Tails) and Obito controlling it, they couldn't wake it up.

"what do you want?"

Mei Terumi doesn't believe that Kiyoshi would make such a sacrifice for no reason.
