I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Ten days passed quickly.

Shigure, unusually, didn't train early in the morning. Instead, he came to the port of Kirigakure and waited there with Chojuro for something...

Soon a ship docked, and Bai disembarked!

With another person.

A gentle breeze, light snow, and two or three ninjas from the Land of Snow.

"It seems Zabuza has agreed!"

Shi Yu smiled.

Hearing this, Haku nodded. "Lord Zabuza, although he didn't say it, I could tell that after learning about the latest situation in Kirigakure, Lord Zabuza really wanted to go back to the village to take a look!"

Zabuza was also a guy who loved Kirigakure, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to seize power in the village and overthrow the Blood Mist Village.

So you came!

"Ok!"

While talking to Haku, Kazama Koyuki looked at Shigure and said, "Thank you for bringing them to the Land of Snow and helping them train a group of ninjas!"

"I should be the one thanking you. Your willingness to make the Land of Snow a vassal state of the Land of the Sea is a great help to me!"

"This is also a good thing for the Land of Snow!"

Next, she takes Kazaka Koyuki to see Terumi Mei.

The Land of Snow is going to become a vassal state of the Land of Snow. When Shigure said he would give the Land of Snow a vassal state, Terumi Mei thought Shigure was joking.

But I never expected it to be only ten days!

It actually came true.

Mei Terumi would naturally not refuse such a request.

And after dealing with the wind, flowers, and light snow.

Mei Terumi is very curious about the white body.

"He's also from the Wuyue clan, and his name is Wuyuebai!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi was somewhat bewildered. Was Shigure a member of the Mugetsu clan? If not, why was he able to summon other members of the Mugetsu clan?

"I've arrived at Bai, it's time for me to set off!"

Just as she was pondering this question, Mei Terumi heard Shigure's words and quickly asked, "Leaving? You're leaving Kirigakure?"

"Didn't we say before that we were going to recall the Jinchūriki from Kirigakure?"

"Now that my ninja team is formed, it's time for me to leave the village and start doing something. Otherwise, how can I become a Kage within a year!"

As Shigure spoke, Terumi Mei suddenly paused in surprise.

She glanced at Shigure, then at Chojuro behind Shigure, and at Shiro!

A perfect ninja squad could indeed be formed!

"Have you done nothing all this time but wait for your people to come?"

Shiyu really wanted to explain that Bai was not one of her own people.

But let's just leave it as a misunderstanding!

"Yes, we are indeed waiting for him!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi nodded. "Forming a ninja team for operations is indeed necessary, but capturing the Six-Tails Jinchuriki won't be that simple..."

"I already know the location of the Six-Tails. Capturing it will be no problem!"

Shigure spoke calmly, and Terumi Mei was taken aback. "How do you know the location of the Six-Tails?"

At this moment, Chojuro spoke up, looking at Mei Terumi somewhat embarrassed: "Lord Kage, it was Lord Shigure who asked me to help investigate. I asked Mr. Ao about the situation of the pursuing ninja forces and learned the location of the Six-Tails!"

Seeing Chojuro's seemingly shy but actually proud demeanor, Mei Terumi felt exhausted.

How could it be that in such a short time, my child prodigy seems to have been kidnapped?

Hey! You're supposed to be Shigure's senior! Why do you seem to be completely obedient to Shigure?

I am the real Shadow!

"Even if you know the location of the Six-Tails, I still..."

Mei Terumi was interrupted by Shigure at this point.

"Is a mere Six-Tails difficult to deal with, compared to the First Hokage of Konoha?"

"I'm not at ease! Are you worried about the Six-Tails or about me?"

Mei Terumi was aware of Shigure's strength, but the rampage of a Tailed Beast was no joke, and suppressing it would be easy.

At the same time, as Shigure said, Mei Terumi should be even more worried about Shigure himself.

They finally brought a genius back to the village, and now they're just letting him leave? What if he runs away? Mei Terumi will be devastated.

"Don't worry! If I really wanted to leave, I would have left already, and you can't stop me!"

Mei Terumi clenched her fist slightly. Although this statement seemed to make sense, as a Kage, shouldn't she save face by saying it so bluntly?

"You brat! Since you're so confident, then go for it!"

"By the way, where is the Six-Tails located?"

Shigure looked northwards!

"To the north!"

"north?"

Mei Terumi glanced northwards, "Could it be that..."

Shigure nodded. "That's right, he's near the Land of Lightning!"

The land of thunder!

That was quite bad, and Mei Terumi's expression also became serious.

The Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning is arguably the strongest of the five great ninja villages. The village is united, and the Fourth Raikage is in his prime with astonishing strength.

They're all eyeing Konoha, so why did that Six-Tails Jinchuriki have to go to the Land of Lightning?

Shigure: "For the six Jinchuriki who have defected, the Land of Lightning is probably the safest place right now!"

“Indeed!” Mei Terumi nodded.

For Kirigakure, the Land of Lightning is an entity that cannot be easily provoked under any circumstances. Provoking Kumogakure could very well bring war upon the village.

Mei Terumi looked at Shigure and said, "Since you know the current situation, it's best for the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning not to provoke the Hidden Mist Village. If you rashly try to capture the Six-Tails, and it alerts the Hidden Cloud Village, things could get very complicated..."

"A genin squad of three kids is probably not worth the attention of the Hidden Cloud Village, so even the pursuing ninja forces are hesitant to take action. A genin squad like ours is the best option!"

Shigure's words left Terumi Mei speechless for a moment. Indeed, what was there to care about in a mere genin squad?

No matter how bored I am, I won't pay attention to a genin squad.

Seeing that Shigure seemed to have considered everything, Mei Terumi felt somewhat relieved. If Shigure didn't want to stay in Kirigakure, she didn't have to worry about these things at all.

Just find any excuse to leave the village.

Terumi pondered for a moment, then gently gritted her teeth!

"Alright! You can go ahead!"

"How long do you expect to be back from this mission?"

Shiyu wasn't entirely sure of the exact timeframe, but a preliminary estimate was "no more than a month!"

The timing is fine, and with Chojuro by my side, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"It doesn't matter if we don't capture the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, as long as you can come back." That was his final instruction.

Shi Yu waved her hand and said, "I understand!"

With that, Shiro and Chojuro headed towards the port.

At that moment, Mei Terumi suddenly called out to Shigure.

"Wait! Here, take this!"

Shigure turned around and caught the thing that Terumi Mei threw at him.

"A headband worn by a ninja from Kirigakure?"

Mei Terumi smiled and said, "I was originally going to officially make you a genin of Kirigakure today, but judging from your condition, you won't have time to attend the genin ceremony. So I'll give you the headband ahead of time!"

Shi Yu smiled and casually put the headband on her head.

After the three left, Qing came out and said, "Lord Kage, are you really comfortable letting Shigure leave Kirigakure? The elders might have objections!"

Mei Terumi let out a soft sigh. "Since this kid is willing to come back to the village with us, he won't leave easily!"

"I'll go explain to the elders!" After saying that, Mei Terumi turned and went into the Kage's office. There were still many things that Kirigakure needed to deal with.
