Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 283 Mei Terumi

After the people from Kirigakure had rested briefly in their arranged accommodations, Yubi led Yagura and the others on a formal tour of Sunagakure.

During this time, he noticed that Mei Terumi, who was following behind him, was secretly watching him, her cheeks flushed with the blush typical of a young girl.

That shy expression clearly showed that she was falling in love.

Yubi never expected that her daughter would start showing her "lustful" side at such a young age.

On the contrary, Kisame Hoshigaki, who was in the group, looked no different from an ordinary person except for his slightly strange appearance.

As for Zabuza, he kept a cold expression throughout.

"Lord Kazekage - My name is Mei Terumi, nice to meet you."

Yubi and Yagura discussed the participants in the exchange competition. When they mentioned Mei Terumi, the girl stepped forward to greet Yubi and bowed politely.

"Hello there."

Yubi happily shook hands with her.

To be fair, although she is still young, Mei Terumi is already quite beautiful, and one can already see some of her future potential.

"This must be the genius of your Hidden Mist Village—possessing chakra with wind, earth, and fire attributes, and able to use the bloodline limit Lava Release and Boil Release. He's quite similar to Pakura from our village," Yubi laughed.

Almost all of the people from Kirigakure had participated in the Third Shinobi World War. Although some of them did not become famous for the time being, they still showed some promise.

In other words, those who survived the Fourth Shinobi World War, even if they didn't participate in the front-line battles, were at least much stronger than ordinary ninjas.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Fengying."

Mei Terumi bit her lip and said happily.

Mei Terumi is currently the only ninja in the ninja world besides Yubi who possesses two bloodline limits.

Yubi's two bloodline limits are seen by outsiders as Blood Release and Eye Technique.

Therefore, the emergence of a genius like Mei Terumi in Kirigakure is something that cannot be ignored.

In comparison, elite members of Kisame Hoshigaki's ANBU, as well as Zabuza, a member of the second batch of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, can only be described as extremely important talent reserves within Kisame's own ranks.

But in the entire ninja world, they are not considered significant.

At least in terms of the two bloodline limits alone, Mei Terumi's potential surpasses that of these two.

Of course, these are the views of ordinary people.

Yubi knew that Kisame Hoshigaki would grow into a Kage-level powerhouse in the future.

As for Zabuza—the only thing Yubi remembers about him is that when he graduated at the age of nine, he killed all the students in his class.

This forced Kirigakure to reform the graduation system for the next graduating class of the Ninja Academy.

"Lord Kazekage—I wonder if I could have the honor of obtaining a personal portrait of you?" Mei Terumi suddenly asked.

"portrait?"

Yubi was slightly surprised.

"I want to—I want to stick it in my bedroom."

"Sorry, I don't think so."

Yubi thought for a moment and then answered.

"Would you mind if I made a copy?"

"Well--"

Yubi's eyelids twitched.

Is this girl speaking so bluntly and directly?

Mei Terumi.

Yagura frowned slightly.

"All right."

Seeing the expression on her Mizukage's face, Mei Terumi looked disappointed and withdrew.

"Don't you even consider the occasion? Besides, asking for the Kazekage's portrait in front of the Mizukage, what were you thinking?" Zabuza sneered coldly from the side.

"Don't meddle in things that don't concern you."

Mei Terumi, who had been acting like a little fangirl just a second ago, suddenly turned cold upon hearing this, as if she had instantly become a different person, and spoke to Zabuza without any politeness.

The two were at odds, like two titans clashing.

This made Yagura a little embarrassed.

"Haha—your geniuses from Kirigakure are quite something, aren't they?"

Yubi immediately stepped in to smooth things over.

Every village has its own unique atmosphere.

Even though Yagura Karatachi implemented some reforms and improvements in Kirigakure, the lingering issues from the reigns of the three Mizukage still profoundly affect a generation.

The people in Kirigakure were not surprised by the conflict between Mei Terumi and Mei.

On the contrary, the younger generation in Sunagakure found it interesting.

They started watching the spectacle.

They were from the same village, yet they gave off the feeling of being enemies.

"Behave yourselves, this isn't Kirigakure."

Yagura didn't want to lose his composure, so he simply gave a warning.

Then, he turned around and continued walking along the street with Yubi.

"Kazekage—Our Kirigakure village also has plans for renovation and reconstruction recently. I wonder if you could recommend those craftsmen who were hired and employed by your Sunagakure village and borrow them to us. Of course, our Kirigakure village will pay them a fee."

Yagura spoke up.

Yagura was truly captivated by the completely transformed appearance of Sunagakure during his visit.

He clearly wanted Kirigakure to have this kind of urban planning and landscape.

Even if he couldn't reach the level of Sunagakure, he would be content with half of it.

Now that the situation in Kirigakure has stabilized and the political and power structure is stable, the next step is naturally to "repair the village".

I heard that Konoha is currently undergoing a major construction project.

Yubi did not immediately agree after hearing this.

At that moment, Yagura's gaze swept over a passerby not far away.

Judging from their attire, they clearly still retain the characteristics of the Kirigakure (Hidden Mist) Kaguya (Tankori) clan. They only changed their clothes slightly after settling in Sunagakure (Hidden Sand Village) due to the climate there.

However, the hairstyle remains a unique identifier of the bamboo-traitor clan.

This person showed no fear of him, the Water Shadow, and swaggered over—though his expression was somewhat blank.

Beside this man from the Bamboo Clan was a woman holding a child who looked to be two or three years old.

Currently, the external bloodlines absorbed by Sunagakure include not only the Hyuga and Uchiha clans of Konoha, but also those from their own Land of Water.

However, the two villages kept their relationship a secret and did not escalate to an irreconcilable point like Sunagakure and Konoha.

The once powerful Kaguya clan was not seen as a force that could be utilized by the Hidden Mist Village's government; on the contrary...

"But it is a scourge to the land of water."

In fact, it was also related to Yubi's initial assertiveness in demanding the bloodline of the Bamboo Clan from him based on the premise of "cooperation".

The appearance of the Kaguya clan in Sunagakure is something that Kirigakure must have known about after so much time has passed.

There was no reason to use this as a pretext for attacking – which naturally means that both sides reached a consensus.

Yagura believed that the Kazekage of the Taketori clan must have had some merits to be chosen by the Fourth Kazekage.

This also allowed him to re-examine the power of this clan.

"This clan has already 'taken root' in your Sunagakure Village—"

Yagura made a pointed remark.

Yubi smiled knowingly, understanding his meaning.

"Introducing them to us is no problem, but those craftsmen are not from Sunagakure. We were able to bring them here by leveraging the benefits of medicinal resources and cooperating with other countries. As for whether they will help Kirigakure, that is not something I can decide."

Yubi said.

"With your influence as the Kazekage, I think—as long as you ask, things will be done."

You overestimate me.

Yubi chuckled.

Seeing that Yubi had agreed, Yagura didn't say anything more.
