Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Even though it was the second time he came to this courtyard, Kato Ou could already feel the aristocratic atmosphere.

In a house that cuts ice, no cattle or sheep are kept.

There is not a single fallen leaf or dust under the carved beams and painted buildings. Just by being among them, you can feel a kind of dignity and respectability that makes ordinary people feel ashamed.

"Kurasuke-sama, please..."

There was no bossing from a big family, but following the chill of Kirigakure Village, the waiter with a short sword walked in front of Kato Ou without much fluctuation in his eyebrows.

"It's a big family...it's really good..."

As soon as he entered the door, Kato Ou raised his eyebrows slightly and looked up at the attic on the second floor. The girl's eyes did not dodge at all, and she looked at him with a smile on her face.

"It's really sharp..."

Terumi Mei looked at Kato Oo who nodded slightly under the pavilion and slowly withdrew his gaze, but his originally gentle face also frowned slightly.

As the manager of a large family, it is impossible to control people with force. It is also common for people to be welcomed and sent off like this. In the past few years, she has gradually started to deal with family affairs, and she has seen too many such businessmen.

But even among the so-called 'upper class people in Kyoto' she has come into contact with, there are only a few who have such sharp eyes and an attitude that is neither humble nor overbearing.

Misaka Kurasuke, who dominates Kyoto's business community but is extremely low-key, is by no means an ordinary person, and she understands this.

It's just that she believes in her own perception, and she also believes in the strength of her family.

Nothing can scare the Terumi family who stand at the top of Kirigakure, not even the Mizukage and Daimyo.

"Let's go, don't keep our guests waiting..."

"Yes……"

Dignified and elegant girls are always elegant. Calmness and calmness are compulsory courses for them. However, if an angel falls into the quagmire, it is always the most lively thing in the world - we all love to see it.

The slightly empty hall was not as lively as the last time. Kato Ou just sipped tea, and the sound of footsteps slowly came.

"The flower in the mist is taken from the far east of the country of water, closest to the sea. It grows for three years in the thickest water mist. When the leaves fall on the water, there is still a thick mist rising. Drinking it is like the turbulence of the blue sea. ."

"Mr. Misaka, you know that this tea is different from ordinary tea. It needs to be gradually cooled down before completely losing its temperature, which is the most perfect moment for drinking..."

Once status, dignity, glory, and family titles fall on someone, that person gradually becomes less like a person and becomes the same.

Mei Terumi is extremely beautiful, but this seemingly appropriate, gentle and silent opening, for some reason, made Kato Ou feel that she was a beautiful woman, but she was unconventional and boring.

Without thinking any more, Kato Oo slowly retracted his gaze, just chuckled, and drank the tea in his hand in one gulp.

"I'm just a common man, I shouldn't treat such an elegant thing..."

In Terumi Mei's view, Kato O's actions were deliberate. Although her face remained calm, her tone could not help but turn a little colder.

"Mr. Misaka made an appointment yesterday. He must have come here for something important. I don't know why?"

He stopped being polite and spoke straightforwardly. No matter how you put it, he was still in his teens. He was pampered and had a high status, but he still couldn't be as calm as water.

"Oh? Don't you know Miss Terumi?"

"Every day the sea lanes are blocked, the major chambers of commerce lose a day. The three major families and the four major chambers of commerce, in the end, are just one family. They have been in Kirigakure Village for so many days, and there has been no sign of the blockade being lifted."

"Isn't this a big deal?"

Terumi Mei's eyes narrowed and she just looked at Kato Ou's eyes quietly. No one knew about this matter. Now that the old matter is brought up again, I'm afraid it's an excuse.

"The Terumi family has done their best. Kirigakure faces a formidable enemy. Blocking the waterway is an order from Lord Mizukage. There is nothing the Terumi family can do."

At any time, the party with force represents absolute authority. Overturning the table can be done, but it can only be the last step.Lifting the table casually will even cause those who were once close, or may be close relatives, to gradually move away, or even form a group to resist.

Terumi Mei was very unhappy, but she couldn't attack an ordinary person without chakra for this reason. Even this person was a representative of the Chamber of Commerce who worked closely with them.

"Really……"

Kato Ou didn't speak again, just sipping the tea gently, as if he was really tasting the famous 'Flower in the Mist'.

The hall was filled with silence, except for the sound of Kato O drinking tea. Terumi Mei was very quiet, and the guards around her were also very quiet.

She probably already understood the purpose of the man in front of her - no matter what the reason, he was just expressing his dissatisfaction.

But she had the force that she thought could destroy the opponent, but due to her family and identity, she could only endure it for the time being.

"Misaka Kurasuke... it's a very nice name..."

"thanks……"

A smile slowly appeared at the corner of Terumi Mei's mouth, and she gently picked up the tea that seemed to be just right at hand, and drank it all in one gulp. The corners of Kato O's mouth slowly raised, and she also spoke softly.

"It's getting late, so I won't bother you..."

"see a visitor out……"

Kato Oo slowly walked out of the reception hall without taking another look at Terumi Mei's face. He just vaguely heard the sound of a tea cup breaking behind him. He thought that woman must have tasted the true meaning of tea.

In the hall after Kato Ou left, only Terumi Mei and the faceless guard beside her were left. It took a long time before the guard spoke softly.

"Sir, Misaka Kurasuke came here today, it seems a little strange..."

"Let Keita and Kurato come back..."

Terumi Mei glared in the direction of the door with hatred, then slowly opened her mouth and gave instructions.

"Our actions are too obvious. How can people not see it? This time we are just using the topic to express our dissatisfaction..."

"These guys from Kyoto are each more difficult to deal with..."

"Yes……"

"But sir, there are a lot of new faces in the village recently. Let's remove our manpower..."

"It's okay, just a few ordinary people..."

"I hope this Misaka Kurosuke is a spy..."

The tea cup in Terumi Mei's hand gradually began to twist, and in just a moment it turned into a ball of solution, slowly dripping onto the ground...

There was a slight dissatisfaction in her heart, but it seemed that it could no longer affect her mood. Terumi Mei returned to her calm look.

Maybe it seemed to her that she was just disgusted by a fly. When the fly had nothing to rely on, all it took was a light swat.

This is the confidence and ability that the top family has given her.

……

As the sun gets darker, the pedestrians in Kirigakure Village gradually become sparse. Fortunately, this is the case. If it were a prosperous place like Konoha, Iruka running on the street would probably make the entire street stand up.

"Xi Yan... Where is Teacher Xu? I have important information!"

The panting Iruka had gone somewhere, and his face was black, white, green, and purple.

As soon as he entered the door, he was ready to go straight to the attic. The excitement on his face seemed to be that he had made some important discovery.

"Iruka? Did you fall into a ditch?"

Uzuki Xiyan walked out of the kitchen carrying some special fruits from the Land of Water, and glanced at Iruka in surprise.

"Important information?"

Uchiha Itachi leaned against the wall quietly, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and when he saw Iruka's appearance, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Where is Teacher Xu? Are you still sleeping?"

"I've been back from Terumi's house for a while, but I've been in the room the whole time and told him not to disturb him..."

Uzuki Xiyan shrugged, as if he didn't care about the important information Iruka said. After all, this happened every day, Uzuki Xiyan didn't even know why Itachi still believed him.

Iruka wanted to step forward again, but Uzuki Xiyan threw a fruit into his arms.

"If you don't go and wash up, I guess Teacher Xu will give you a water dragon bomb first when he sees you..."

"No... not really?"

Iruka seemed a little unsure, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and got into the bathroom.

The attic on the second floor was dark. Kato Oo sat on the ground, his whole body seemed to be hidden in the darkness.

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and a blue light suddenly flashed in the darkness.

It seemed that he was still reminiscing about some kind of large-scale remote immersive movie viewing experience, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

"The Terumi family is really interesting..."

As if hearing the noise downstairs, Kato Ou slowly got up and went downstairs. Iruka, who was still stained with water, had a familiar look of expectation.

However, Kato O seemed to be immune. He picked up the fruit in Uzuki Xiyan's arms and slowly settled into the sofa.

"Iruka...do you think I hide in the attic and sleep every day?"

"Ah? Teacher Xu, I didn't..."

"No! I have important information!"

"Oh……"

Kato Oo responded expressionlessly without saying anything, and the way Iruka scratched his head and ears made Uzuki Xiyan laugh.

"This time it must be true!"

"Why don't you first tell me about the time you were hit in the face?"

"Teacher Xu..., this time it's true!"

"All right……"

Seeing that Iruka seemed to be flushed with anxiety, Kato Ou also temporarily gave up the idea of ​​asking. After all, he was still alive and kicking, so there should be no big problem.

Iruka leaned close to Kato O's ear mysteriously, and his voice gradually came out.

Kato Oo's originally indifferent eyes slowly condensed, and the fruit in his hand was slowly placed on the table. A special kind of silence seemed to fill the air.

The two people suddenly fell silent, causing Uzuki Yugan and Uchiha Itachi to also shift their gazes, looking at Iruka with a bit of exploration and surprise.

"what happened?"
