Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 271 Warmth

"It's really unexpected that I ran into Xiaomei so easily this time!"

Toshiro was quite surprised to see Mei Terumi covered in black runes all over her body.

Originally, it was only because Minato Namikaze seemed to take this matter seriously that they hurriedly took him to the front lines for a short while.

I never expected to run into them so easily.

"Are Toshiro and the other person very familiar with each other?"

"No, not at all! It's just that I almost killed her last time, and she's been coming to cause me trouble several times with some powerful companions."

Seeing that Minato Namikaze seemed curious, Toshiro briefly explained to him the grudge between himself and Mei Terumi.

"First, let me introduce you. This is Mei Terumi, a genius girl from Kirigakure. She's eighteen years old, and I estimate her height to be 172cm... and her measurements are..."

cough!cough!cough!

"Toshiro, you don't need to go into such detail!"

Minato Namikaze finally understood why Mei Terumi was so fixated on Toshiro. Seeing the other man's increasingly dark expression, he quickly coughed a few times, interrupting Toshiro from continuing to speak.

"Haha! I got a little too excited, let's continue..."

Interrupted by Minato Namikaze's impromptu speech, Toshiro quickly laughed it off and moved on to introducing Hozuki Mangetsu and another Mist Ninja.

She completely ignored Mei Terumi's almost murderous gaze. Afterwards, she pointed at Minato Namikaze and said to the others, "I probably don't need to introduce him, right?"

Indeed, with Konoha's propaganda efforts, the support of Iwa ninja, and Minato's iconic blond hair, Toshiro didn't need to explain much; the three Kirigakure ninja already knew who had ambushed them.

"Uh...why aren't you guys saying anything?"

Upon seeing the three people, who remained silent with gloomy expressions, Toshiro found it strange, but then realized something and looked at Minato Namikaze to the side.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place where we won't be disturbed."

Seemingly sensing something, Minato Namikaze did not immediately untie the three of them. Instead, he took them and Toshiro and flew to a place he had prepared beforehand.

Meanwhile, different patrol teams quickly arrived to check the situation. Hozuki Mangetsu's ninjutsu had been quite powerful, and both the Konoha ninja and the Kirigakure ninja noticed the unusual activity.

Upon arriving at the scene, they found no culprit behind all this, but instead encountered the enemy on the other side, which led to another small-scale conflict.

"So, you came all this way specifically to discuss the Three-Tails with Master Yuan?"

With her restraints loosened, Mei Terumi was finally able to move her hands and feet. After hearing Minato Namikaze's request, she didn't put on airs.

However, she still glared at Toshiro and gave him a big eye roll.

"Yes, regarding the Three-Tails, Konoha wants to have a proper discussion with Kirigakure about its ownership. We have some demands."

Minato Namikaze was very frank and didn't hide anything. He told her why he had come specifically to see her and expressed his hope to talk to Master Gen in person.

"Talk to them face-to-face? No way!"

Looking at the other person's golden, tousled hair, Mei Terumi resolutely refused. The other person's speed when they ambushed her was too fast. She had only just realized that someone was attacking her from behind when her chakra and mobility were sealed.

If such a person were brought directly to Master Yuan's side, wouldn't he regret it if the other party had any bad intentions?

"Oh! Is that not allowed? Actually, it doesn't matter. If we have Xiaomei in our hands, plus the genius of the Hozuki clan, I think Senior Genji would still be willing to sit down and talk with us."

Seeing that Mei Terumi did not agree, Toshiro jumped out and said to Minato Namikaze:

"Brother Minato, there's no need to get entangled with them. With the strength of the two of us and Orochimaru-senpai, even if they manage to capture Yagura Tachibana, we might be able to capture him alive. At that time, we won't have to worry about the Kirigakure not sitting down and having a proper talk with us."

Toshiro played the villain very well, giving Mei Terumi a sinister smile with a threatening tone.

To make his words more persuasive, he even brought up Orochimaru's name, intending to intimidate the woman opposite him.

"This is not good; it will only deepen misunderstandings between the two sides and is detrimental to peace!"

"We still need to communicate with the other party properly. I believe that as long as both sides are honest with each other and clear up the misunderstanding, it will be a good thing for both Konoha and Kirigakure."

"Well……"

Looking at Minato Namikaze in front of him, who spoke these words with a serious tone, sincere attitude, and enthusiastic face, Toshiro couldn't tell whether the other party was cooperating with his scheme against Mei Terumi, or whether deep down he really thought so.

The aura that the other party exuded just now was so dazzling that it seemed like he wasn't just spouting nonsense.

Not to mention Toshiro, even Mei Terumi, Mangetsu Hozuki, and the other two on the opposite side were somewhat lost in thought as they looked at Minato Namikaze, who was like a small sun that seemed to warm their hearts.

As members of the Mist Ninja, they grew up under the cruel Blood Mist policy, which gradually froze their hearts. When had they ever seen anyone with such an aura?

……

"Boss, are we really going to help Minato Namikaze deliver the message to Master Yuan?"

A long time passed, and only Mei Terumi and two others remained in the same spot.

"You haven't fallen for some pretty boy, have you?"

Seeing the expression on the other person's face, Hozuki Mangetsu looked at him with some surprise, his gossip-loving fire burning brightly.

"Shut up!"

A heavy punch landed on Full Moon's head, smashing his head to pieces. Mei Terumi was still in a daze.

"Full Moon, don't you think... we Kirigakure... need someone like this?"

"That kind of person?"

After thinking for a while, Hozuki Mangetsu banished the image of Namikaze Minato from his mind. Before he could speak, the taciturn sealing ninja beside him spoke up.

"Miss, our Kirigakure has had people like Minato Namikaze before, but... what became of them..."

He didn't specify the exact outcome, but as Terumi's elder, he felt it necessary to shatter his mistress's illusions.

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing what the other person said, Mei Terumi and Mangetsu Hozuki were both stunned for a moment before expressing the same sentiment.
