Chapter 714 Seiya and Mei Terumi, who have extremely high reputations in Kirigakure
"Lord Mizukage, Lord Seiya..."

"Lord Seiya, it's only been a short time since we last met, but you seem to be a little different from before."

"Lord Mizukage, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but he suddenly seems to have become much younger and more beautiful."

Walking on the streets of Kirigakure, the pedestrians and ninjas greeted Seiya and Mei Terumi very warmly when they saw them.

Although Mei Terumi is a woman and serves as the Mizukage, her abilities and achievements over the past few years have been evident to all.

Because of the bloody policies of the former Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, Kirigakure's strength had fallen to the bottom among the five great ninja villages.

Even the reputation of "Village of Blood Mist" has led most people from the Land of Water to avoid coming to such a dangerous place as Kirigakure, even when they are looking for other ninja villages to make requests.

Ninjas also need to eat. The prosperity of a ninja village depends on the number and strength of the ninjas in the village.

Training ninjas requires a lot of resources and time; without enough commissions, there won't be enough income.

Without income, it was impossible to continuously train excellent ninjas. This vicious cycle once led to Kirigakure's financial situation being even worse than that of Sunagakure, which had a harsh environment.

But ever since Mei Terumi took over as the Fifth Mizukage, and Seiya assisted her, the situation changed instantly.

The Mizukage and Seiya, who were away on their journey, not only recovered many of the ninja swords that Kirigakure had lost, but also brought back a great deal of wealth and even gained the friendship of Konoha.

The people of Kirigakure also heard that the wealth that the Mizukage and Seiya brought back a few years ago came partly from Konoha's gratitude, but mostly from a shady merchant in the Land of Waves.

Whether it's the reward from Konoha or the profit from the unscrupulous merchants of the Land of Waves, these are actually the personal gains of the Mizukage and Seiya.

However, after acquiring this wealth, the two of them did not choose to keep it for themselves, but instead selflessly donated it to the village.

With this investment of wealth, Kirigakure was able to rebuild.

The Mizukage reformed various policies, while Seiya, with his formidable strength and near-perfect mission completion rate, once again enhanced Kirigakure's reputation.

To put it bluntly, Kirigakure was in a complete mess after the death of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura.

The reason why Kirigakure is able to restore its former prosperity is entirely due to the efforts of Lord Seiya and Lord Mizukage.

The eyes of the masses are discerning, so the people of Kirigakure hold Mei Terumi and Seiya, who have made great contributions to Kirigakure, in high esteem.

Mei Terumi has now become the most prestigious and popular Mizukage of all time, surpassing even the most senior "Master" in the village.

"Seiya, what's going on with your current state? Why does my Byakugan detect that your chakra meridians are brimming with vitality? Could it be that you..."

As one of Mei Terumi's right-hand men, Ao's expression was quite surprised when he saw Seiya today.

The Byakugan can directly see a ninja's meridians and chakra, so when it saw Seiya, it immediately noticed the abnormality on Seiya's body.

"It's very simple, because I have now been fully resurrected."

Hearing Seiya say such astonishing words in such a calm tone, Ao was so surprised that his mouth dropped open, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Seiya was a resurrected ninja using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, a fact that was no secret among the higher-ups of Kirigakure. However, Ao truly hadn't expected that Seiya's previous talk of resurrection wasn't just empty words; such a forbidden technique actually existed in the ninja world, and Seiya had successfully accomplished it.

"Laoqing, stop being so dramatic. It really affects the overall prestige of our Hidden Mist Village."

It's just a resurrection; you act like you've never seen anything like it before. How will you handle big events in the future?

Upon hearing Seiya's words, Ao almost choked to death. To think that being resurrected from the dead was a trivial matter? In his eyes, this was a scene that completely challenged his worldview!

However, considering that everything Seiya has done since returning to Kirigakure has been quite unexpected and even beyond his comprehension, Ao simply shut up.

For ordinary ninjas, things that defy common sense are probably just normal for Seiya.

As one of the core high-ranking members of Kirigakure, Ao knew that when Seiya and Mei Terumi returned from Konoha, in addition to bringing back several ninja swords, they also brought back an arm.

A wrinkled dead man's arm wouldn't normally be a big deal, but the key point is that the dead man's arm is actually covered with countless Sharingan eyes!

The Sharingan, one of the three great dojutsu of the ninja world, like the Byakugan, comes from a powerful ninja clan in Konoha Village.

To prevent their bloodline from being lost, the Uchiha clan's protective measures, while not as extreme as those of the Hyuga clan, were still quite stringent.

Especially since the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the Sharingan has almost disappeared from the ninja world.

To put it bluntly, the value of the Sharingan has now surpassed that of his Byakugan.

Such precious bloodline limit, Seiya and the Mizukage managed to bring back ten of them on just one business trip, and each Sharingan was even the highest grade three-tomoe Sharingan.

In other words, during their previous trip to Konoha, Seiya and Mei Terumi brought back not only several ninja swords and a large amount of wealth, but also a precious Sharingan bloodline limit.

If Ao didn't know the whole story, he would have even suspected that Seiya and Mei Terumi weren't there to watch the Chunin Exams, but to raid Konoha.

The strength of the Sharingan's bloodline limit has been demonstrated by Kakashi, the Copy Ninja of Konoha, and Itachi Uchiha, who massacred the Uchiha clan.

When Seiya obtained these ten Sharingan with three tomoe, he still had no intention of keeping them for himself. Instead, he handed them over to Mei Terumi, asking her to find a suitable person for transplantation.

Originally, Ao also had some ideas about the Sharingan.

Both the Uchiha and Hyuga clans are powerful clans in Konoha, and their bloodlines are renowned throughout the ninja world. He already possesses a Byakugan; if he were to transplant a Sharingan as well…

Just thinking about it, Qingdu felt that with a left Byakugan and a right Sharingan, he would definitely be incredibly powerful in the future.

However, while the Mizukage agreed to his request for a transplant, Seiya, who selflessly offered his Sharingan, stopped him.

The reason given was quite compelling: sometimes, when Sharingan is transplanted into outsiders, it doesn't become an asset but rather a burden.

Unlike the Byakugan, the Sharingan transplanted by outsiders remains constantly active, while the Sharingan consumes a large amount of chakra.

If Ao were a Jinchūriki, then this point could be ignored. However, his chakra reserves are even less than Kakashi's. If he were to transplant the Sharingan, he might not even be able to awaken the Byakugan in the future.
