Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic

Chapter 144 The Promise with Mei Terumi

Upon hearing this, Qingwu, who had already silently retreated a few steps, sneered: "What does your Kirigakure's internal affairs have to do with Konoha?"

If this were Sunagakure, he might have had to help out of consideration for his ally's request.

Hidden in the mist?

Want to eat fart!

If Might Guy's father hadn't stopped the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist back then, who knows what kind of damage would have occurred if those seven elite Jonin had invaded the vulnerable Konoha.

Just a moment ago he was calling me "brother" and "sister," how come this kid's face changes so suddenly...? Terumi Mei panicked and quickly said:

"You just said you came to find someone. Since you helped me, I will naturally help you in return. I can't speak for other places, but within the Land of Water, my intelligence network can definitely help you."

despair!

Qingwu, who was about to leave, paused.

Mei Terumi's face lit up with joy. She had guessed right. It turned out that the boy hadn't lied and really had come to find someone.

Qingwu turned around and looked at Zhaomei with a slight frown. He had already traveled through several countries, and it was really too difficult to find one person in such a vast ninja world.

Tsunade is likely currently residing in the Land of Water.

Narrowing the scope to the Land of Water, if he could really use Mei's intelligence network... this temptation really hit the spot for him.

Just as he was about to reply, "BOOM—!!"

This time, the sound was already not far from the gambling den, and Qingwu could naturally tell that it was the sound of an explosive tag being detonated.

The Mist Ninja at the entrance had all come to Mei Terumi's side, looking warily at the entrance.

"grown ups!!"

The Mist Ninja who had just delivered the message said in a trembling voice, "Make a decision quickly!"

"Open!" Qing shouted in a low voice, and his Byakugan activated in response.

He quickly observed and said, "Sir, more than thirty rogue ninjas have surrounded us from all sides. We have no choice but to fight our way out."

Mei Terumi, however, remained calm, her gaze towards Qingwu shifting gently.

With a genius Jonin capable of facing the Four-Tails Jinchuriki still present, if this "sword" could be borrowed... it might be able to eliminate Raiga Kurosuki once and for all!!

Her mind was racing with calculations, but her face regained its languid expression:

"Lord Qingwu, things have come to this point, and it is no longer just an internal matter of Kirigakure, but a deadly predicament for both of us. Kurosuki Raiga and his gang are known for their ruthlessness, and seeing that you are with me, they will not allow you to leave alone."

Qingwu was not fooled and calmly said, "His target is you. If I want to leave, his men can't stop me."

"Brother~~"

Mei Terumi suddenly spoke in a sweet, drawn-out voice:

"You helped my sister this time. Not only can you use my intelligence network in the Land of Water, but I can also facilitate an alliance between Kirigakure and Konoha."

Qingwu got goosebumps on his arms. This woman spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, but her words were also very alluring.

"The past is the past. During the Ninja Wars, everyone lost a lot of people."

Mei Terumi gave her subordinates a look, signaling them to step back.

Only after leaving her and the boy behind did he continue:

"I heard that Konoha is at war with both Kumogakure and Iwagakure. Well, with my current strength, it's unlikely that I can send reinforcements. But the Land of Water is rich in resources, and we can still provide support to our allies in terms of supplies, medicine, and logistics."

Qingwu didn't care about alliances or anything like that; he was still thinking about finding Tsunade before going back to the battlefield to gain experience.

Seeing that the boy remained silent for a long time, Terumi Mei gritted her teeth and said:

"I, Terumi Mei, owe you a favor. If you help me get rid of this major threat, I'll agree to anything you ask afterward."

"!!" Qingwu turned her head and glanced at the eye-catching curve under the light blue robe... Hmm, she's got more assets than those little girls like Hongdou and Xiyan.

"You—" Mei Terumi was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, but it was too late to continue the conversation.

"Hahahaha, Terumi Mei, why don't you come out and greet this great one!" A sinister and arrogant laugh suddenly pierced through the wooden door of the gambling house, carrying a chilling killing intent and arrogance.

Before he could finish speaking, with a loud "bang," the gambling den's door was shattered by a violent bolt of lightning.

Wood chips mixed with gravel flew everywhere, and the pungent smell of gunpowder, along with the murderous aura, instantly filled the entire gambling den.

Raiga Kurozumi was a man with heavy eye shadow. He stood at the door, holding the Raiga sword, whose blade was crackling with dazzling lightning.

Behind him followed dozens of rogue ninjas, each with a fierce glint in their eyes, completely blocking the area around the gambling den.

Qingwu glanced at him, then turned back, asking as if no one was around:

"Are you so sure I'll help you? If you had moved as soon as you received the report, you might still have made it in time."

Mei Terumi looked at Raiga Kurosuki with a solemn expression and said softly:

"I'm afraid it won't be easy. Qing is right. This guy doesn't do anything unprepared. If I'm not mistaken, there must be an ambush in the direction he's fleeing."

At this point, she changed the subject: "Besides... fortune favors the bold. If I have the chance to deal with a tough opponent, why shouldn't I take a gamble!"

These words sounded frank and didn't seem like a lie... Qingwu nodded slightly, and when he looked up again, he saw that Hei Chu Leiya was also staring at him.

"You are..." Raiga Kurosuki looked at the boy and found him somewhat familiar, but having not left the Land of Water for a long time, he couldn't remember him for a moment.

A subordinate whispered a few words in his ear, and Kurozuki Raiga looked like he suddenly understood.

He then looked at the boy and sneered, "A little brat like you survived the Four-Tails and the Tsuchikage? Konoha is as shameless as ever."

He attributed Qingwu's reputation to publicity and hype.

Because there was precedent before, in order to boost the village's morale, during wartime, ninja villages would deliberately create some "false" war heroes.

The key factor is Qingwu's age. Now that he has shed his disguise, he doesn't look like a powerful ninja who could survive against a Kage-level opponent.

Raiga Kurozuki doesn't believe what he hears, he only believes what he sees.

and so……

"Let's die together!!"

Raiya raised his twin swords, their blades crackling with lightning, and the arrogant Black Hoe Raiya attacked.

call out!

"So fast!" Qing's white eyes remained activated. "Watch out!"

"His lightning release speed is extremely fast!" Mei Terumi warned, simultaneously forming hand seals: "Water Release: Water Wall!"

"Bang—!!"

The lightning struck the water wall, instantly creating a shower of water droplets. The water wall sizzled from the lightning and melted away in the blink of an eye.

Raiga Kurozuki's figure emerged from the water curtain.

The lightning bolts from the Thunder Blade condensed into a sharp blade several feet long, hurtling straight towards the Green Wutong tree with a sharp, whistling sound as it cut through the wind.

"Tsk, I've been underestimated."

Now, Qingwu is not afraid of close combat. Instead of retreating, he advances, his toes touching the ground, and he rushes straight at Heichu Leiya amidst the splashing water.

"Click—!!"

At the same time, thick roots emerged from the ground, binding the feet of the unsuspecting Black Hoe Raiya.

"Um!?"

With a furious roar, Raiga Kurosuki unleashed a burst of Lightning Release chakra, transforming into a dazzling ring of lightning.

With a hissing sound, it actually shook the tough roots until they were charred and broken.

As expected of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, all of whom are elite Jonin... Qingwu's eyes narrowed slightly, and at close range, he instantly unleashed the [Magic Arrow]...
