Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 761: Someone's trying to steal my corpse!

"Master Yuan, you flatter me. As you should know, my current status and position are not due to my personal abilities."

Mei Terumi has a clear understanding of her own abilities. During Kirigakure's most difficult time, she was appointed as the Mizukage in a time of crisis. Although she made some reforms, she was already at her limit in just maintaining the operation of the village.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a certain man, Mei Terumi would know very well that Kirigakure would probably still be at the bottom of the five great ninja villages.

Let alone being the supreme commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces, she probably wouldn't even have much say in the Five Kage Summit.

Almost everything she and Kirigakure possess now was brought about by a certain man, so she naturally dared not take credit for it.

"There's no need to belittle yourself. Your decision to accept the mysterious Seiya and believe in him was your own."

Furthermore, if someone else had been the Mizukage, I don't think Seiya would have been so dedicated to the village.

Upon hearing Master Gen's words, Mei Terumi blushed slightly, while Seiya laughed heartily, "Master Gen is right about that; female shadows have their advantages too."

After all, if the Fifth Mizukage were an old geezer, I certainly wouldn't be working this hard.

As for now, I think I have no choice but to give it my all, since the Fifth Mizukage is one of our own.

Following Master Yuan's lead, many other elders and high-ranking officials in the village, as well as some clan leaders of ninja clans, began to flatter Mei Terumi.

Perhaps some of them had previously opposed Mei Terumi becoming the Fifth Mizukage.

But things are different now than before, and everyone has seen Mei Akira's achievements over the years.

With her reform policies, recruitment of talent, alliance with Konoha and Sunagakure, recovery of the tailed beasts, and now her status as the supreme commander of the Allied Shinobi Forces, she can truly be called a heroine among women.

Undeniably, the achievements of Terumi Mei bear some resemblance to those of Seiya.

So what? Kaguya Seiya has the ability, and Mei Terumi can get him to do things for her; that's Mei Terumi's ability.

This Allied Shinobi Forces battle is an epic war that includes the five major ninja villages, as well as many other smaller ninja villages and samurai.

The position of Supreme Commander is almost no different from that of the leader of the ninja world.

In the past, such scenes were usually set in Konoha Village, since they were always the victors in every Shinobi World War. As the leading village among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Konoha's overall strength was indeed much greater than that of the other villages.

But times have changed. In this generation, Kirigakure has produced two genius ninjas, one a dragon and the other a phoenix.

If this were decades ago, the only person who could hold the position of the highest commander in the ninja world would probably be someone like Hashirama Senju.

Mei Terumi's reputation in the ninja world may not have been particularly prominent in the past.

After this Five Kage Summit, the title of the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, might become comparable to that of Hashirama Senju.

The leader of the ninja world is the Mizukage of Kirigakure. To those who are unaware of the situation, Kirigakure would probably think that Kirigakure is the strongest of the five great ninja villages.

Although it is just a title, it has extraordinary significance for Kirigakure and even the entire Land of Water.

What kind of people usually hire ninjas?

Ordinary people, businessmen, or politicians generally don't know much about the affairs of the ninja world.

With the Mizukage of Kirigakure becoming the leader of the ninja world, these uninformed bystanders will naturally subconsciously assume that Kirigakure is the strongest of the Five Great Ninja Villages! Once their reputation is established, they will receive many more mission requests, and with more mission requests, the village and even the country will naturally prosper.

Other ninja villages are currently seeking financial support from daimyo in various countries, since major wars are extremely expensive.

However, the daimyo of the Land of Water, upon learning of the Five Kage Summit, personally sent money over.

If you were to ask who is most eager to win the Ninja War right now, it would undoubtedly be these Daimyo.

After all, if the ninja world were to disappear, those in high positions would no longer be able to enjoy their former privileges.

Among these daimyo, the daimyo of the Land of Water were undoubtedly the most excited.

If they win this ninja war, the Land of Water will undoubtedly be able to advance further and even completely suppress the Land of Fire, which has always been more prosperous than them.

In the past, whenever Terumi Mei wanted to implement any policy reforms, she would always encounter various obstacles.

But this time, everything went incredibly smoothly, from mobilizing funds to recruiting ninjas. Everyone, from the daimyo to the village's higher-ups, became sycophants when they saw Mei Terumi's current achievements.

In contrast to the smooth progress in Kirigakure, the progress in Konoha Village has been somewhat hampered.

After all, Konoha had just been attacked by Pain not long ago. Although the Five Kage Summit resulted in him taking the second-in-command position, it was inevitable that Konoha, which was used to being the leader of the five great ninja villages, would feel a sense of loss.

Previously, when Konoha was being rebuilt, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire had just been asked for a large sum of money. Now that the Fourth Shinobi World War has begun, Konoha is asking for money again. Since he is not an infinite money machine, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire is naturally extremely dissatisfied.

On the other hand, Obito and Kabuto's preparations for battle were not exactly going smoothly either.

The White Zetsu, who were meant to be cannon fodder, were able to be organized into 100,000 White Zetsu as originally planned, thanks to the capture of Yamato.

The problem lies with the main force of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Leaving aside the past Hokage who were once used by the Third Hokage to create the "Dead Demon Seal," Orochimaru originally planned to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to resurrect a large number of legendary ninja figures and past Hokage from various ninja villages during his preparations for the war.

But after searching the entire ninja world, he discovered that the number of powerful individuals he had resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique was far below his expectations.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the Second Mizukage, the Fourth Mizukage, as well as Nagato, Deidara, Konan, and others—Orochi Kabuto had tried many times, but had been unable to successfully use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Seeing that Orochi was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue trying, Obito spoke up from the side: "There's no need to try anymore. I think you should have realized by now that it's not that there's a problem with your technique, but that someone is playing tricks on you."

Haven't you noticed that, apart from Nagato and Deidara, almost all the other ninjas who can't be resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique are from Kirigakure?

Even Nagato and Konan had contact with that person before their deaths.

Upon hearing Obito's reminder, Kabuto Yakushi also spoke up, "There are generally only a few situations where one cannot be resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

The first type is when the soul is sealed, so the Impure World Reincarnation technique cannot summon the other person's soul into the container.

The second scenario is that the target of the Impure World Reincarnation technique is not yet dead, since this technique itself summons the soul of the dead.

As for the third scenario, it is that the target of the Impure World Reincarnation technique has already been resurrected by someone else!
