Chapter 179 The Beginning of a Shocking Change (4K)

Boom!

A deafening clap of thunder echoed from the horizon, and a fierce flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, leaving a stark white expanse.

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."

In a dimly lit room.

The powerful Kirigakure elder, Genshi, looked at Mei Terumi and said in a low voice, "Since the Third Hokage took office, the Mizukage has had a long-standing conflict with the various ninja clans. They don't like each other and neither side listens to the other."

"This oppressive situation is seriously hindering the village's development!"

He sighed and lamented, "After dragging this out for so long, perhaps it's time to make a clean break!"

Terumi Mei remained silent.

She knew what Master Yuan was saying, of course, but she still found it hard to believe.

They were all from the same village, yet they ended up fighting each other.

"Elder, what should we do?"

Young Terumi Mei was somewhat bewildered, unsure of what to do.

But her deep love for the village told her that she had to do something.

"Do nothing, just keep waiting."

Master Yuan picked up his brush and continued his calligraphy while calmly saying, "The Third Hokage's forces include the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Although only five of them are currently willing to obey him, their combined strength should not be underestimated."

"As for the ninja clans, although the Kaguya, Minazuki, and other clans have their own small islands to live on, their clan leaders and elites are all in the villages at the moment."

"On paper, the two sides are evenly matched."

Master Yuan calmly analyzed the situation: "This 50/50 situation is quite good; it won't cause the village to suffer heavy losses."

"Fighting allows us to vent our emotions."

The old man said meaningfully, "Only when they realize that neither side can win against the other will they have an opportunity to sit down and negotiate."

Terumi Mei remained silent.

That being said, once a fight breaks out—

Will the ending be as wonderful as expected?

As a ninja.

Her insights were completely different from those of politicians like Yuan Shi.

While there is a possibility that both sides could reach a truce, it is more likely that both sides will suffer heavy losses!

"deep."

"You are a talent I highly regard."

Genji raised his head and saw the doubt in Terumi Mei's heart. Then he said seriously, "When I sent you to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams, it was because I wanted you to see the outside world."

"But that doesn't mean you're qualified to play chess right now!"

"As a ninja, you don't need to have too many of your own ideas yet!"

The old man's tone turned cold, and he gave her a light but firm rebuke before slowly saying, "Compared to these things, I have something else I need you to do."

Terumi Mei felt a chill run down her spine, lowered her head, and dared not say another word.

Master Yuan took a photograph out of the drawer.

The scene captured in the photo is Ayane Amamiya standing on the dock, confronting the Hidden Mist Ninja.

"I heard from you when you came back that you and she are getting along quite well?"

Mei Terumi pursed her lips and clarified, "Calling us friends is fine, but we can only be described as casual acquaintances."

She did have a good impression of Ayane Amamiya.

This positive impression largely stemmed from the other party's exceptional skill in Water Release techniques, as well as the mutual respect among fellow female ninjas.

But to say they're the best friends who can talk about anything—

That would be going too far.

"Since she's a friend, let's go meet her."

Yuan Shi smiled, unconcerned by her statement: "The village has always been isolated. If it wants to expand into the mainland, it needs at least one ally that can be brought to the forefront."

He said with some regret, "I originally wanted to choose Sunagakure as this ally, but unfortunately, that old guy Kazekage is too tactless."

"Although the Land of Rain is far away from us, we have similar attributes."

"Moreover, they've been rising rapidly lately, so they might be of some use."

Yuanshi comforted himself: "Besides, small ninja villages have their advantages; at least their appetites aren't as big as Sunagakure's."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi suppressed her anxiety about the village and bowed respectfully, saying, "Mei, I obey!"

An inn in Kirigakure.

Ayane Amamiya was sitting cross-legged on the roof, meditating with her eyes closed.

The girl remained steadfast and unmoved as the fine raindrops pelted her body.

Back when we were in the Land of Iron.

Mifune had taught Hanzo samurai skills at his request, including how to use a sword to sense and guide natural energy.

At that time, she only had a superficial understanding and could not yet grasp the intricacies of the matter.

But the girl made rapid progress in this area.

Now, just over half a month has passed, and I've already vaguely grasped some of the tricks.

This feeling became even more pronounced after arriving in the Land of Water, perhaps due to the significant change in environment.

of course.

Besides her own hard work and dedication, the boost from the keywords also played a significant role.

[Entry: Extraterrestrial Being (Seven Colors)]

[Action Effect: Twin Souls grants you a boost to your control and perception of chakra and natural energy! The specific boost will be proportional to your mental strength, currently at 85%!]

Up to 85% bonus!

This number may not seem exaggerated, but considering that the girl's foundation is far superior to that of ordinary people, the amplification effect it brings is also very high.

For example, the later famous Copy Ninja Kakashi was able to carve a dog's head on the Earth Release: Earth Wall, which shows his control over chakra.

As for Ayane Amamiya, her control over ninjutsu at this moment is several times greater than Kakashi's.

If you pursue perfection.

She can even draw a Water Margin comic strip she read in her previous life on the tiny dragon scales of a water dragon bullet!

Just then, Yahiko pushed open the door from outside the courtyard and entered.

As soon as he walked in, he shouted, "You know what? I just ran into a weirdo!"

"Hush!

Konan gestured for him to be quiet and indicated with her eyes that Ayane Amamiya was training.

"oh oh!"

Yahiko understood and nodded repeatedly, then lowered his voice and continued, "You'd never guess how strange that guy looks!"

Konan, playing the straight man, joked, "Just how strange is it? Is it even stranger than Nagato's purple-rimmed eyes?"

Yahiko chuckled: "Well, it's still not quite as good as it could be."

Nagato:

What do you two mean?

What's wrong with you guys with purple circle eyes?

Isn't he handsome?

Seeing the unfriendly look in his eyes, Yahiko quickly shared what he had just witnessed: "Let me tell you, that guy looks exactly like a shark, with shark gills on his shoulders! When I first saw it, I thought it was a shark that had come to life—"

The three children, afraid of disturbing Ayane Amamiya, walked into the house while talking.

On the rooftop, Ayane Amamiya slowed her breathing, immersing herself completely in sensing the energy of nature.

In the original work, after Nagato awakened the Rinnegan, he used the Rain Tiger Free Technique, which allowed him to monitor the entire Amegakure village and detect any disturbances by using the falling raindrops.

She was far from being able to do what Payne did at this moment.

But there's nothing wrong with monitoring the small courtyard below.

Moreover, unlike Pain who uses sensory ninjutsu.

Her current perception is entirely achieved through the faint natural energy in the air, without using even a fraction of her own chakra!

Along with the sound of raindrops.

The girl's breathing became longer and deeper.

Mifune said that the highest level of a samurai is to learn to "listen to the sound of the wind" and "follow the rhythm of the wind" before drawing his sword.

But Ayane Amamiya's ideas were even more arrogant than his.

She not only wants to listen, but also wants to go further and try to take control!

Only by harnessing the omnipresent wind can one enter the world of immortal arts.

The wind passes without leaving a trace.

Suddenly, the girl noticed something out of place in the environment.

Ayane Amamiya suddenly opened her eyes and happened to meet the gaze of Mei Terumi, who had just pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.

More than two months have passed.

Mei Terumi's overall appearance hasn't changed much compared to her time in Konoha, except that her chest seems to have gotten a little bigger.

wrong!

What am I thinking?

Ayane Amamiya quickly shook her head, trying to banish the lewd thought from her mind.

Mei Terumi leaped nimbly onto the roof.

"You've come at a really bad time."

The girl greeted Ayane Amamiya, then said with a wry smile, "This time, I'm afraid you're going to have to watch a show."

Ayane Amamiya shifted her position to make room for her, then interrupted rudely, "Stop! If it's just about catching up, I'm happy to, but I have no interest in knowing so much about your village's affairs."

She was not surprised by Mei's arrival.

Given his current reputation in the ninja world, and without using any transformation techniques, Kirigakure will soon be able to ascertain his identity.

Mei Terumi gave a soft hum and sat down next to Ayane Amamiya.

She tossed her long, reddish-brown hair and said haughtily, "It's not like I'm going to reveal any important information to you."

Having said that, Mei Terumi rubbed her hands together, taunting, "By the way! Do you still remember what I told you when I left Konoha last time?"

Ayane Amamiya paused, silently recalling the events in her mind.

Then, with a half-smile, he asked, "Ah, I remember now. I recall you saying that next time we meet, you're going to beat me until I kneel and beg for mercy?"

Snapped!

Mei Terumi reached out and snapped her fingers in front of her with a flourish, letting out a "hmm" through her nose in affirmation.

Ayane Amamiya raised an eyebrow, eager to try: "How about now? Let's practice some more?"

Mei Terumi immediately shrank back down, saying timidly, "Let's do it another day!"

Although she left before the Chunin Exams finals.

but----

It's not like I haven't seen the video of this guy fighting Might Guy!

That kind of taijutsu, whose exact trajectory cannot even be captured by a camera, is undoubtedly the Hokage's trump card to keep the champion in Konoha!

If I go up there, I'll definitely get whipped by that green-suited monster!

Even so, the other side still won.

Terumi Mei felt a slight pang of sadness.

she knows.

Although the two are very close in age, there is already a pitifully thick barrier between them in terms of strength!

Seeing Mei Terumi's cowardice, Ayane Amamiya clicked her tongue and said no more.

Mei Terumi rested her chin on her hands and her arms on her knees.

She added with a hint of envy, "Hey, when I was in Konoha, I noticed that you got along really well with Lord Amekage and those guards."

This was not something she made up without reason, but rather the result that Terumi Mei came to after careful observation.

She herself was highly regarded by Master Yuan.

But this kind of "respect" is different from that of Ayane Amamiya. Every time the other party speaks, everyone from Amamiya to the guards listens attentively and thinks carefully.

There is certainly an element of strength involved.

The friendly environment of Yuyin is also one of the reasons.

Ayane Amamiya closed her eyes.

The girl, trying to recall what had happened, asked, puzzled, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I want to ask, are all small ninja villages like this, or are you the only exception?"

Mei Terumi's voice was somber: "Sometimes I really envy your atmosphere. Unlike me, after seeing certain things, I have too many things to say and too many thoughts—"

She didn't continue, instead letting out a long sigh.

Actually, Ayane Amamiya had also noticed this issue.

Perhaps because Amegakure was too weak, even though she had worked in the Anbu before, she had never seen too much horrifying darkness and gloom.

Although there is a power struggle among the higher-ups.

But everyone is very sensible and never crosses the line.

Even someone like the old leader, Goat, would proactively recommend a genius like himself to those above him.

The reason for this might be that Amegakure is located in the middle of the three great nations, and in the past, their lives were precarious.

Therefore, everyone is in the same boat, and they all know that if the Yuyin group improves, it will be entirely beneficial to them.

The Great Ninja Village was freed from the pressure of survival.

Frequent internal strife, they practically treat their companions like aliens to be tormented —

All of the above are among the reasons why she did not choose to run away and seek refuge in another country after awakening her panel.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that she hadn't responded for a long time, Mei Terumi leaned closer and said loudly, somewhat angrily, "Is talking to me that boring? You look like you're about to fall asleep!"

Ayane Amamiya opened her eyes.

He touched his cheek expressionlessly, his tone completely calm: "You spat on me!"

Mei Terumi: "

Her face flushed, but she forced a defiant stance and retorted unreasonably, "What's the big deal! You've seen my bloodline limit before; I spit on people every day, I'm used to it!"

good good!

Amamiya Ayane thought to herself, "Is this how you play games?"

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a tremor under her feet.

The girl's gaze then turned to the distance.

Unfortunately, she was new to the village and completely unfamiliar with Kirigakure, not even knowing what it was.

"Change is about to begin."

Mei Terumi's expression changed, and she simultaneously looked into the distance.

That was the base of several bloodline ninja clans.

She clasped her hands together in a prayerful gesture, hoping that—after today, Kirigakure would be a better place!

Upon hearing this, Ayane Amamiya's expression grew even stranger.

Sensing the ever-growing chakra in the distance, she asked in bewilderment, "Putting aside the future and all that, your village is going all out, even releasing tailed beasts?"

"Tailed Beast?"

"What tailed beast?"

Mei Terumi was also taken aback when she heard this.

But soon, she no longer needed Ayane Amamiya to explain anything.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from afar.

The beast's high-pitched roar even drowned out the thunder in the sky at one point.

Mei Terumi stood beside Ayane Amamiya, staring blankly into the distance.

It was a colossal tortoise, tens of meters tall just lying there, its shell covered with dense, sharp spikes that inspired awe.

The giant tortoise roared to the sky, as if venting its anger and resentment.

"This is the Three-Tailed Fox—"

No sooner had Ayane Amamiya finished speaking than the situation changed again.

A giant slug appeared out of nowhere!
