Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 71 When did you start to believe I was the original body?

"You, female ninja, come up here."

A vine stretched down from the wooden dragon.

The thick vine slowly fell in front of Mei Terumi.

Akihara Kagura manipulated the vines to bind Terumi Mei, shouting, "Don't resist, I won't hurt you. Our only target is Uchiha Obito."

"..."

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth, her fingers slightly forming a hand seal, letting the vines bind her, thinking she could break free at any time.

This shows a lack of understanding of Wood Release.

The moment the vine bound Mei Terumi, it suddenly began to retract rapidly, absorbing the chakra within her body.

"No, my chakra!"

Mei Terumi quickly sensed the loss of chakra within her body.

The woman tried to unleash her ninjutsu to break free of her restraints, but the vines suddenly tightened their grip, seemingly able to kill her even faster!

"Didn't you come here to negotiate?"

Akihara Kagura spoke casually, then reminded him again, "Don't worry, we definitely won't hurt you."

"..."

Mei Terumi's heart tightened!

The key point is that she intends to hurt them!

Mei Terumi knew very well that she did not have any information about Obito Uchiha; she only wanted to take this opportunity to rescue the Fourth Mizukage!

"Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique!"

Mei Terumi suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a stream of acid!

The acid was extremely corrosive, quickly corroding and breaking the vines. Mei Terumi took advantage of the situation to break free of her restraints and shouted loudly!

"Qing, do it!"

"Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!"

A group of Mist Ninjas quickly joined their hands in a hand seal and exhaled puffs of mist, instantly enveloping the entire area in fog!

"Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique!"

Taking advantage of the rising mist, Mei Terumi opened her mouth and exhaled a breath of acidic mist towards the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, which quietly corroded the vines binding him!

Other Mist Ninja also quickly launched an attack on the wooden dragon. A group of Mist Ninja jumped onto the wooden dragon as quickly as ants trying to bite an elephant!

"They don't want to negotiate!"

Uchiha Itachi immediately entered battle mode!

"Watch out! Someone's coming up!"

Kakashi Hatake drew his shuriken!

"Tsk, I really underestimated her."

Akihara Kagura was already prepared and moved even faster than them. One vine after another quickly covered the wooden dragon's body, covering it with a layer of scales like a fishing net!

One by one, the Mist Ninja who had climbed up were bound by the vines!

"Byakugan - Open!"

Standing on the ground, Qing, who was coordinating the battle, stared intently into the fog. With one of his white eyes, he could see a figure moving nimbly within the fog!

During the war between Kirigakure and Konoha, Kirigakure was fortunate enough to obtain a usable Byakugan from a member of the main branch of the Hyuga clan. This is the only Byakugan ever lost by the Hyuga clan in Konoha's history.

Qing, observing the changes in the wooden dragon's chakra, knew that the person controlling it needed to be mindful of the other Mist Ninja, and urged repeatedly, "Other teams, continue the attack and cover Mikoto Mei's attack!"

Above the wooden dragon!

Mei Terumi skillfully dodged through the gaps in the vines and finally leaped onto the top of the wooden dragon's head, facing the enemies who had caused this calamity!

A white-haired man.

Two black-haired boys.

Judging from their ages, no one would believe that this small team caused such a huge mess in the Land of Water, even causing Kirigakure to lose face...

"This doesn't look like someone who's here to negotiate..."

Akihara Kagura chuckled softly and looked at Hatake Kakashi: "Captain Kakashi, we want peace, but Kirigakure doesn't want a peaceful resolution..."

"..."

Kakashi Hatake was also somewhat speechless.

The Hidden Mist Village's actions were incredibly humiliating. He had just been thinking of having a proper discussion with the Hidden Mist Village and exchanging information about Obito Uchiha... but instead, they betrayed their good intentions and used their desire to negotiate to launch an attack.

"See that?"

Kagura Akihara began by attacking the enemy's reputation: "Our goodwill towards the enemy will always be exploited by them. When we get back, we must tell Lord Danzo and the Third Hokage that Kirigakure is a despicable ninja village, and there is no way to communicate with them..."

"This was not our intention!"

Mei Terumi quickly interrupted Kagura Akihara, shaking her head and saying, "Konoha ninjas, you've gone too far! We're open to negotiation..."

Akihara Kagura interrupted her, seeing through her thoughts: "But your condition for negotiation is that we return the Fourth Mizukage to you. Ideally, the negotiation should be that you don't have to give anything, and we should agree to some conditions that are favorable to you..."

"..."

Mei Terumi was somewhat speechless.

Isn't that what everyone thinks during negotiations?

"I have serious doubts..."

Akihara Kagura smiled, a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Even if I return the Fourth Mizukage to you, can you hand over information about Uchiha Obito?"

"certainly…"

Mei Terumi nodded quickly, then smiled and changed the subject: "We should talk about your invasion of the Land of Water first..."

Now all she needs to do is stall for time here and draw the attention of this small team, and her Boil Release will be able to corrode the vines that are clinging to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi…

"You're right."

Akihara Kagura slowly nodded, then suddenly asked, "We invaded the Land of Water, and then what? Do you have any objections?"

"..."

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth, feeling as if the tension in her head was about to snap.

Of course we have a problem with that brat!

"The Third Shinobi World War ended long ago."

Mei Terumi forced herself to remain calm and continued, "Your invasion will provoke a war between Konoha and Kirigakure..."

"We're just doing reconnaissance..."

Kakashi Hatake couldn't continue speaking.

"Even if it causes a war, then what?"

Kagura Akihara tilted her head, seemingly puzzled, and said, "Even your strongest Mizukage wasn't my match, so how could he possibly be a match for our Third Hokage?"

"War kills many people..."

Mei Terumi gritted her teeth, feeling that she could no longer stall for time. She felt that she was about to be so angry at this brat's self-righteous tone that she wanted to fight him on the spot!

"Konoha ninjas are not afraid of sacrifice."

Kagura Akihara answered the question on behalf of Konoha Village.

"..."

Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha exchanged glances, feeling that something was amiss, but also realizing that Kagura Akihara's words made sense.

Konoha ninja...

Indeed, they are not afraid of sacrifice.

Click!

The sound of a vine snapping suddenly caught their attention!

The vines on the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, snapped, and his body fell rapidly from the dragon's horns, about to land on the wooden dragon's head!

Mei Terumi leaped into the air with lightning speed!

However, before she could jump into the air, two vines blocked her way, tied her body around the waist, and pulled her so hard that she could not resist!

Bang!

Mei Terumi's body instantly turned into a splash of water!

"That's a water clone!"

Kakashi Hatake scanned his surroundings, somewhat amazed by the opponent's speed: "So fast! When did she use a water clone?"

"Isn't it early?"

Mei Terumi appeared instantly behind Kagura Akihara, her wrist tightening around Kagura's neck. With a smile, she said, "Now, can you return the Mizukage to us?"

"Of course not."

As Akihara Kagura spoke, her body slowly transformed into a large tree.

"Because when did you come to believe that I belong to the original body?"

The tree grew rapidly, and its branches quickly bound Mei Terumi's body, tying this powerful female ninja to the tree.
