"What do you mean by that?!"

Kakashi held a kunai in his hand and frowned at Mei Terumi in confusion and asked.

"The Fourth Mizukage Yagura is dead, there must be a murderer... Don't you think so!?"

"You can't pretend you didn't hear this question. Tell me, did you kill Yagura?!"

Shisui said this in a calm but firm tone.

"No, no, no, I didn't kill him. The real murderer is the guy behind you... He is the one who really killed Yagura!"

Mei Terumi continued to insist on her own opinion and answered.

"I see. You used my name to get rid of the controlled Yagura, and then not only targeted Konoha, but also established the Hidden Mist Village. You really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve!? Mei Terumi..."

Chiba stared at Mei Terumi with cold eyes, thinking that this woman was too calculating.

"I've told you before, you think too much. We are not targeting Konoha, nor did we establish Kirigakure. Let me repeat, Yagura was killed by the genius boy from the Uchiha family of Konoha, so Kirigakure and Konoha signed a peace agreement!"

Mei Terumi explained, choosing her words carefully.

These words stunned both Kakashi and Shisui.

What exactly happened? According to Terumi Mei, Kirigakure lost a Mizukage, but indirectly facilitated peace between Konoha and Kirigakure, and also won reputation for the Uchiha family.

"Do you think we are fools!?"

Kakashi looked at Mei Terumi coldly.

Kirigakure suffered heavy losses, but ended up with such a result. It was obvious that Konoha got a huge bargain.

Mei Terumi did not respond to Kakashi, but turned her gaze to Chiba.

"How about it, young man!? Are you willing to accept this offer..."

"Can you make the decision in Kirigakure!?"

"Of course, don't look at me like this, I'm actually very capable!"

Mei Terumi smiled confidently and said that no one would look down on her, including Kakashi, Shisui and Chiba.

Because Chiba knew that after Yagura's death, it was Mei Terumi who would succeed him as the fifth Mizukage. And seeing how calm she was at the moment, it was clear that she was very confident about becoming the next Mizukage.

"Oh well!"

“Chiba!”

“Chiba!”

Kakashi and Shisui's expressions suddenly changed.

"We can't agree to her. Once we admit it, it will trigger a full-scale conflict between Konoha and Kirigakure. What's more, the one who died now is not someone else, but the Mizukage!"

"That's right, we should evacuate safely as soon as possible!"

“No, I believe her!”

Chiba interrupted their conversation with a word.

If it were someone else, even Renye would have such concerns, but if the target was Mei Terumi, Chiba knew her and she would not do such a thing.

I'm afraid that Mei Terumi has long been dissatisfied with Yagura's rule over Kirigakure.

“Chiba!”

"No problem, even if she doesn't come to me, I intend to give Yagura a fatal blow!"

"It's unexpectedly cool! The decisive masculine charm radiates from the inside out!"

As she spoke, Mei Terumi slowly walked towards Chiba.

Kakashi and Shisui immediately drew their kunai and became alert, but were stopped by Chiba.

"fine……"

Mei Terumi walked up to Chiba with a smile. She was originally very tall, and in comparison, she was even taller than Chiba now.

Seeing this scene, Mei Terumi shook her head as if in disgust.

"Too short—"

"Um?!"

Qianye was stunned, not understanding the meaning of her words. Then, Terumi Mei leaned down gently and left a kiss on Qianye's forehead.

This action surprised Kakashi, Shisui and Chiba himself so much that they were speechless. Chiba was like being struck by a bolt from the blue, and he froze there.

“Just consider this as a farewell gift!”

After the kiss, when she looked up, Mei Terumi whispered quietly in Chiba's ear, "If you dare to tell anyone about that, I will kill you!"

A chill ran through Qianye's body, as if the god of death was caressing his spine. This feeling made him tense up instantly.

Mei Terumi stood up with a smile on her face, but in Chiba's opinion, that smile at this moment became extremely scary.

Damn, is this woman crazy?! Is she going to kill someone just to silence them?!

"Well, let's say goodbye then!? The elites of Konoha——"

Mei Terumi turned her back to them and left. Kakashi and Shisui looked at each other, nodded after exchanging glances, and then began to help the exhausted Chiba leave.

At this moment, as if she remembered something, Mei Terumi turned her back to them and said, "I, Mei Terumi, always keep my word and do what I say. I hope you can grow up to be that kind of man, otherwise... you will die!"

After saying that, Mei Terumi suddenly turned around, a smile full of kindness appearing on her face.

Kakashi and Shisui couldn't help but frowned and responded calmly: "Whether you can really keep your promise is not as simple as just talking-"

Damn it, bro! This girl is not talking about that incident at all. What are you two doing so seriously and humorously?

Qianye wanted to cry but had no tears, but didn't know how to refute.

After the conversation, Kakashi, Shisui and Chiba disappeared from Mei Terumi's sight.

After they walked away, Mei Terumi turned around and gave a breathtakingly beautiful smile to the backs of the three people.

Oh my god, what kind of super-powerful ninjutsu can cause such destructive power! Even the Fourth Mizukage, who transformed into the Tailed Beast Form with all his strength, only had one breath left!

The young face appeared in her mind.

At the same time, the huge mushroom cloud that shook the heaven and earth and made ghosts and gods cry also made Mei Terumi's heart excited.

However, she would probably be even more shocked if she knew that the power of this explosion was not even half of the original one.

"Uchiha... Chiba!"

After she whispered the name, the Kirigakure ninjas quickly arrived at the scene in Kirigakure.

“Master Terumi Mei, how could this place become like this! What on earth just happened? And what was that explosion just now!?”

Everyone asked with confusion on their faces, but Mei Terumi immediately dropped a bombshell:

"The Fourth Mizukage has passed away!"

The space here presents a dark gray palette, filled with jagged cube-shaped objects.

Looking out, you can't see the horizon, as if you are in an endless land.

It is in this weird space that

A man covered in black sat on top of one of the cube-shaped buildings with one foot dangling in the air.

"Is Yagura already dead..."

He wore a mask with a single spiral pattern on his face.

In this gray space, a blood-red light is emitted from the center of the mask, and the three pairs of jet-black magatama on it are particularly eye-catching.

"It's true that the person who killed him was Mei Terumi, but the one who really defeated him was Uchiha Chiba. What a name I've never heard of!"

His voice was calm, but there was a hint of anger in it.

The loss of the important chess piece, the Fourth Mizukage, especially as the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, had shaken his plans.

"Could this be the new genius of the Uchiha clan? It seems that he is not simple... He can actually defeat the Jinchūriki who perfectly controls the tailed beasts!"

Furthermore, he didn't know this person, which meant that the other party should be younger than him and should belong to the new generation of ninja.

"Perhaps I can make good use of it, but before that, the Three-Tail has lost its host... let it wander for now! Hahahahaha——"

He laughed sinisterly, and the laughter echoed in the strange space, distant and mournful.

——Sharp dividing line——

On the way to evacuation.

Chiba is close to his limit.

His chakra was exhausted, but the tailed beast chakra was still hiding in his body and could not be transformed.

In addition, he suffered serious physical injuries, including a broken left arm and shattered bones.

During the retreat, Qianye finally couldn't hold on and collapsed.

Kakashi and Shisui rushed forward to support Chiba.

"Chiba, what's wrong with you!?"

"Stop talking and take him to the hospital!"

Shisui carried Chiba on his back. Since this mission was extremely secret and involved infiltration and intelligence gathering, no medical ninja was deployed.

They had never expected such a fierce battle.

"No, no, don't worry, I-I'll be fine after a good night's sleep..."

Without finishing his words, Chiba fell into a coma.

Chiba himself didn't know how long he had been unconscious.

When he woke up, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

"This is--!?"

Chiba immediately turned over and sat up, only to find that his entire body was wrapped in plaster.

"This is... a hospital!?"

Qianye was stunned for a moment, then exerted a little force, and with a click, the plaster broke. He raised his left arm and twisted it gently, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

"Wow! This medical technology is really advanced... I woke up from a good sleep and everything was healed!"

Qianye took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, feeling refreshed. It was like being reborn after struggling back from the brink of life and death.

Feeling indescribably comfortable, Chiba checked his chakra and couldn't help but get excited.

"I really have jonin-level chakra... I've made a lot of money on this trip!"

Moreover, that’s not all, his Sharingan evolved directly from single magatama to three magatama.

You have to know that Chiba is only six years old now and will be seven soon. It is unheard of for someone to have a three-magatama Sharingan at the age of seven!

Qianye immediately jumped off the hospital bed, feeling his body lighter than ever before, and his muscles' explosiveness, speed and strength must have improved significantly after experiencing this incident.

At this moment, the door of the ward opened with a click.

Uchiha Izumi was about to go in with flowers in his hands, but he was stunned when he saw Chiba standing by the window.

Then there was a snapping sound, and the flowers instantly fell to the ground.

Koizumi's eyes immediately filled with tears.

"Brother Chiba!!"

She ran towards Qianye, hugged him and burst into tears.

Chiba was stunned.

"Eh!? Koizumi!?"

"Brother Qianye, it's great that you woke up. I, I thought you would never wake up again. I was scared to death!"

Koizumi was crying so hard that her eyes were filled with tears. Chiba didn't know what to do for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he hugged her tightly.

"Okay, stop crying. Look, I'm fine now. I'm awake now. Everything is over!"

"Ohhh! You made a girl cry. That's so lame!"

At this moment, a third person's voice was heard.

It was Harano Xiang, followed closely by Yugao and Kakashi who walked into the ward, and even Uchiha Shisui appeared.

"Okay, stop crying, or people won't think Xiaoquan is cute anymore!"

"Yeah! Okay, I'll listen to Brother Qianye!"

Despite saying this, Koizumi did stop crying, but she still hugged Chiba tightly and refused to let go no matter what.

Chiba had no way to deal with this.

Shisui and Kakashi looked at each other with a hint of surprise in their eyes. At this time, Xi Yan couldn't help but speak in surprise.
