I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

"are you serious?"

Mei Terumi frowned as she carefully observed Shinji's expression and eyes.

The other party's repeated emphasis forced her to increase her expectations.

If it's true, she needs to make arrangements as soon as possible.

"Let's not talk about a hundred cursed items anymore. Let's change the condition to something within my capabilities."

Shinji finally heard those words!

"One hundred cursed items is my bottom line, and that's non-negotiable. But there's another way: I'll only sell this information to outsiders, but for my own people... it's free."

Mei Terumi was taken aback for a moment, then said decisively, "Okay, I can join you. But only if your information is truly worth it."

Shinji tossed over an [Organization Contract Scroll], saying, "Sign it, and you'll have the answers to everything you want to know."

Mei Terumi also examined it carefully and finally concluded that it was just a piece of waste paper.

So she simply signed her name on it.

Then, in the next moment, to her astonishment, the 'waste paper' transformed into a beam of light and entered her body.

Then she felt a slight burning sensation on the skin of her left thigh, and a mark was left there.

"what is this?"

Mei Terumi feels like she might have been tricked...

Shinji exposed the back of his neck and explained the function of the mark with practiced ease, which dispelled some of her doubts.

"Now tell me, what exactly do you know?"

That's what Mei Terumi is most concerned about right now; she'll worry about the mark on her thigh later.

Shinji didn't mince words and said directly, "The most powerful group of cursed spirits in the Land of Water have now joined forces and are secretly preparing for a big operation. The guy we just killed was just a target we deliberately threw out to attract attention and firepower."

"So a very interesting question arises: what is their purpose in doing this? What other enemies in this country are worth uniting with?"

Mei Terumi's expression changed drastically in an instant, as she realized a terrifying answer!

[158. Chapter 155: Turned the Tables]

Although Shinji himself didn't know what the other party's big plan was, that didn't stop him from making reasonable speculations.

Just like he said, what are a group of top-tier cursed spirits planning to do? What are they capable of doing?

What is it about this country that makes them want to do this?

Isn't this obvious?

There is only one possibility that would warrant their joint scheme: Kirigakure!

Once the Hidden Mist Village is completely destroyed, the entire armed forces of the Land of Water will be rendered virtually useless.

Furthermore, the Land of Water is located in the middle of the sea, an island nation isolated from the mainland, so even if other humans wanted to help, they would be unable to reach it in time.

At that time, the Land of Water will completely become a paradise for cursed spirits to live and grow.

The humans here will not be exterminated, but will be ruled and kept as food and nourishment for the cursed spirits to become stronger.

By then, even if the other major land powers react, it will be too late.

How many people and resources can they muster to cross the sea and launch a counterattack on the Water Kingdom, which has already been occupied by the Cursed Spirits?

Don't forget, the most powerful spirit here is the embodiment of the sea!

Those human reinforcements might not even be able to set foot on this land of the Water Kingdom before being intercepted en route and perishing at the bottom of the sea!

Shinji could think of these possibilities, and so could Mei Terumi.

That's why her complexion became unusually unpleasant.

This information is indeed of immense value to Kirigakure, who are currently completely unaware of it. A hundred cursed artifacts are nothing compared to this, although she certainly can't produce them...

Of course, she still needs to judge and investigate the authenticity of this information.

Without further ado, she prepared to return to the village immediately.

"This information is too important. I hope you can come back to Kirigakure with me and explain the truth to the elders."

Shinji shook his head immediately. He would only go if he were out of his mind. "I'm just a wandering ninja and I don't want to get involved in this. As for how you treat this information and whether you believe it or not, that's your business."

"Are you really ready to leave here?"

As if she had thought of something, Mei Terumi suddenly asked.

To be honest, Shinji hasn't made a decision yet; he can only say that he has this idea.

After all, with his current strength, he is not able to face multiple special-grade cursed spirits working together. Even with Hidan and Tobi added to the mix, it wouldn't be enough. He would only have a chance of winning if Tobi were willing to transform into another identity.

This is assuming that none of the enemies have activated their domains.

Furthermore, he was not optimistic about the outcome of the Mist Village's resistance.

The Land of Water is their stronghold, yet a group of cursed spirits have already joined forces to attack them, and they are completely unaware of this. They continue to use their past impressions to deal with the current cursed spirits, which is tantamount to courting death!

Just because a cursed spirit wouldn't do something in the past doesn't mean it won't do it now.

The most terrifying thing about cursed spirits is that they are constantly growing and learning!

And humans are their best teachers.

Insidious and cunning, forming alliances and maneuvering, uniting against external enemies, using feints and diversions...

Clearly, these cursed spirits have learned far too much.

However, the Hidden Mist faction itself lacked unity and failed to seize the initiative.

He was in the open, while the enemy was in the shadows.

Even their strength might not be superior, so how can they fight?

Moreover, regardless of victory or defeat, Kirigakure will definitely suffer a severe blow as a result.

It could be said that the only thing that could attract him to stay now is the opportunity to pick up the scraps during the great battle between the two sides and take the chance to accumulate a large amount of curse soul points.

He hasn't decided yet whether or not to take the risk.

However, that doesn't stop him from talking nonsense.

“That’s true, because I don’t think you can easily handle the dangers ahead. Since those powerful cursed spirits are able to unite and prepare to attack you, they must have assessed each other’s strength beforehand and felt that they had a chance of winning before doing so.”

"Then please tell me, Lord Mizukage, besides the forces that are out in the open, does Kirigakure have any hidden trump cards? For example... Jinchuriki?"

Terumi Mei remained silent, her brows furrowed.

What hidden trump cards does the Hidden Mist now have left?

With the death of the previous Mizukage, Yagura, it's unknown whether the Three-Tails has been reborn or not.

The Six-Tails Jinchuriki also defected from Kirigakure for various reasons, and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are now fragmented, with only Hozuki Mangetsu wielding the twin swords Hiramekarei. The other swords have either been taken away by rogue ninjas or have been sealed away due to a lack of available swords.

Oh, right, the decapitation sword is in the hands of this bastard right in front of us.

In addition, the tyranny during the time of the Land of Blood Mist resulted in the near severing of all bloodline boundaries within the Land of Water...

The Hidden Mist Sect has no hidden trump cards left; the fact that they haven't collapsed yet is already a testament to their all-out effort.

"It seems there aren't any left."

Seeing that Mei Terumi only frowned but didn't speak, Shinji knew the current situation of Kirigakure.

"I'll have to trouble Lord Mizukage to send the reward for this mission as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi hesitated for a moment, "Wait a moment, I can hire you to join the Kirigakure camp."

"It's your freedom to hire whomever you want, but I can also refuse. Besides, I don't think you can afford the 'price.' As the Mizukage knows, I'm not interested in money."

Mei Terumi pursed her sexy lips, then suddenly remembered the mark on her leg. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Is this how you treat your own people?"

Shinji paused for a moment, "Uh, no, that's not it..."

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point. I need the organization's help right now. Didn't you say that our sect's core mission is to eliminate cursed spirits? Now that the opportunity has come, are you just going to sit idly by?"

Blanch!

Shinji realized he had truly underestimated this woman; she had so quickly used his words to turn the tables on him.

He could, of course, choose to ignore it, but that would completely change the nature of the situation.

If Mei Terumi survives, she will certainly not let him, or even the entire Jashin Cult, go.

It's really not worth it to go from being friends to enemies...

But he would never agree so quickly.

"I need to think about it. It's true that our sect's core principle is to eliminate cursed spirits, but we won't willingly go to our deaths. Would we knowingly go into great danger? Impossible!"

"You can take this opportunity to send the intelligence back and then discuss and come to a conclusion."

"Based on your response plan, I will make the final decision on whether to stay or leave."

Mei Terumi didn't say anything this time, and nodded, "Okay, that's settled."

Before leaving, she thought for a moment and finally said, "Regarding the decapitation sword, I will try to persuade the elders to let you use it temporarily when I get back. No one will cause you any trouble."

[159. Chapter 156 The Rat-Headed Man and the Sickly Demon]

Within the Land of Water, a once peaceful and bountiful village has now become desolate and lifeless.

Corpses, one after another, afflicted with disease and covered in festering sores, filled every corner of the village with a stench.

Even more chilling was the sight of swarms of rats, their eyes glowing red, gnawing on these disgusting corpses.

"The news that just came in is that the cowardly waste, Mirage, seems to have been killed by humans."

On the pile of corpses, a strange creature with a rat's head and a human body, and a thin, long tail, was stroking a small rat in its palm while speaking to another person.

"I knew that guy was useless a long time ago. I thought that with our advantageous location, as long as we stayed put, we could at least draw away some of the human forces and cover our real operation. I never expected that he would be killed so soon. He was really useless, utterly useless!"

"Sickly old man, why aren't you saying anything?"
