Naruto: Changing Fate

Welcome! ?"Is it related to me...?"

Looking left and right, he found that when the leader's words fell, everyone present turned their eyes to him. Only then did Terumi Mei, who had not expected it, be able to determine the core reason mentioned by the person in front of him. It is indeed myself.Then he was stunned, blinking his eyes, raised his hand tremblingly, and pointed at himself in disbelief.While the leader nodded slightly and answered affirmatively, it seemed as if questions were floating around his head, and he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"You, you... are you... joking with me?!"

Obviously, just as the timeline has changed, in the original work, both her behavior and appearance, have become closer to the fully mature Mei Terumi.At this moment, she is just like a young and energetic flower girl... With the changes of time and history, the changes that have happened to Terumi Mei are not just changes in appearance.What's more, is the obvious gap in experience brought about by the time interval of more than ten years.Furthermore, Terumi Mei, who was still in her teenage years, must not be as calm and calm as she was when she became the Fifth Mizukage.So that when the situation is slightly out of control, he will appear panicked.

Of course, for the leader, this is the scene he hopes to see the most...

After all, Terumi Mei, who has not been able to stand alone, is not only scheming, but also far inferior to those wily old foxes.It was also because the scheming was relatively superficial, which allowed the leader to firmly grasp the initiative in the conversation during the conversation with Terumi Mei.Then I can completely relax and plan all this without any distractions.

"Of course it has something to do with you..."

Thinking of this, Terumi Mei showed a panicked look at a loss, and the hidden smile of planning in the eyes hidden by the leader's mask became more and more powerful.Immediately, all the remaining worries in his heart dissipated, and he raised his head and looked around, observing the different expressions on everyone's faces.He stretched out his index finger, shook it slightly, and continued to answer calmly.

"After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, if it goes as planned and you succeed in overthrowing the Fourth Mizukage's rule... then you, who are young and promising, and whose reputation is obviously at the top, will definitely be pushed along by the tide. , to become the next generation’s successor, isn’t it?”

"Huh? That's right...that's what you said..."

In such a state of confusion, Terumi Mei never expected that the leader who had previously been blaming himself for why the plan was not suitable for everyone would suddenly change the subject and start praising him.So that when he was slightly stunned, the questioning words that originally came to his mouth suddenly dissipated softly under the sudden feeling of satisfaction.Then he spoke as though he were upright, his face turned slightly red, and he folded his arms, trying to maintain a serious appearance, and continued to speak stammeringly.

"But... but does this have anything to do with... with saying that I am the root cause of the plan not being applicable...?!"

"Of course it does matter... Don't forget, being able to become a leader is not just about having enough prestige. In addition, you must also have extraordinary strength that can be used to convince others, right? ?”

After noticing the change in Terumi Mei's mood, the leader, who was well versed in the method of comforting a sweet date with a stick, appeared to be more and more at ease.Furthermore, everyone's attention was deeply attracted by the conversation between himself and Terumi Mei.While shrugging and spreading his hands, he tried his best to suppress his smile and responded in a warm voice, pretending to be innocent.

"After all, in the final analysis, I am just an outsider... Even this time, I can help you to overthrow the rule of the Fourth Mizukage. But until the real culprit behind the scenes is solved, it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. It’s just useless work.”

"The real culprit behind the scenes...are you talking about the two guys who appeared in Mizukage's office?!"

Fortunately, although the scheming is much more immature and green than the original work.But he is able to assume the role of leader of this group of changers when everyone is convinced.This is enough to prove that Terumi Mei is absolutely amazing in terms of her leadership talent and her own growth potential!So much so that the leader only gave a little reminder, and Terumi Mei suddenly came back to her senses as if she had been enlightened.The look of grievance and doubt that appeared on his face gradually began to subside, and he held his face with one hand, thinking to himself.

"Indeed, even the perfect Jinchuuriki of the Three-Tailed Isobutsu and the powerful Yondaime Mizukage-sama can be brainwashed into puppets that can be controlled and driven by him without making a sound. This is enough to prove that , that guy’s strength is equal to that of the Yondaime Mizukage-sama... no, it should be said that he is even more powerful than the Yondaime Mizukage-sama..."

"That's right... In other words, until you, as the future successor of the Mizukage, have the strength to compete with him, even if I help you now to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage, it will only cost that guy more money. Take some time to brainwash and control you, who is not as powerful as the Fourth Mizukage, into his new puppet. Banning the name of the 'Village of Blood Mist' will not have any substantial benefits, will it?"

Seeing Terumi Mei's sudden realization, the leader, who had saved a lot of words by avoiding too many explanations, nodded happily.Then he looked around and saw the serious expressions on the faces of the people around him that seemed to understand but not understand, and that they were trying to digest and understand.This allowed the leader who regained control of the topic to lead the topic back to the sentence that originally caused the disagreement in an understatement.

"So, I have long said that although there is a strategy that can eliminate the Fourth Mizukage now, it is not suitable for you right now..."

Of course, at this moment, I have realized that it is impossible for me to place all my hopes on this unknown outsider in front of me.You must not pray naively. The person in front of you will stay in Kirigakure Village and help you for the rest of your life. Terumi Mei.Under the leader's patient explanation, when she heard these words again, she naturally would not lose control of her emotions to the point of asking questions like before.On the contrary, it was because while the person in front of me was doing her best to think about him and his group, he was impulsive and reckless and dismissed the good intentions of the person in front of him as vague and perfunctory, and he felt guilty.

"I see... Indeed, from a long-term perspective, if we only care about the immediate interests but ignore the hidden dangers and are too impatient, it will do far more harm than good to us..."

It was precisely because of this that Terumi Mei subconsciously raised her hand and scratched her blushing face in embarrassment as soon as the leader finished speaking.Then he tapped a few times gently to allow himself to concentrate as much as possible. As if he was sincerely convinced and grateful for the selfless assistance of the person in front of him, he began to respond respectfully from the bottom of his heart.

"Uh... ahem, sorry, it was us who were abrupt and wrongly blamed you... Please continue, what do we need to do in the next period of time?"

"It's okay. I was too general before, which made you misunderstand. It's understandable..."

Fortunately, what made Terumi Mei feel relieved was that the leader who had been misunderstood by him did not insist on finding out who was to blame.On the contrary, in an understatement, he placed all the responsibility for causing the misunderstanding on himself.Then, invisibly, the favorability of all the fog ninjas present was greatly refreshed.Due to his own external perception, he was vaguely aware of Obito's tendency to summon his own Xiangtai clone and plan to set off, so he continued to speak as briefly and straightforwardly as possible.

"Then, it's like what I just said. If we want to successfully remove the current situation of the 'Blood Mist Village'? We must start with you and take the lead in the efforts, Terumi Mei..."

"try harder?"

"That's right, just like what you just saw with your own eyes... Instead of wasting time preparing for an assassination operation that has little effect and can easily lead to heavy losses in manpower. It is better to give up and use the free manpower with You should use your time to practice harder."

Under the gaze of everyone's unreserved trust, the leader's speech became smoother and more straightforward.Then he shook his head and shook his head, and in the words that came out of his mouth, he directly gave everyone present a more effective and correct goal to strive for.

"Especially you, Mei Terumi...if you want to take action and completely overthrow the Fourth Mizukage - or rather, the bloody rule of the man who controls the Fourth Mizukage? Then, as the new Mizukage successor, you To gain strength, you must truly reach the level of a shadow-level powerhouse before taking action!"

"Shadow-level powerhouse...me?"

Although I already had a vague guess about the prerequisites needed to implement the leader's plan.But after the leader personally admitted it, it still made Terumi Mei, who was slightly young and immature, slightly stunned. She felt deeply powerless in front of the "Kage Class", which is the pinnacle of strength in the ninja world. feel.Then he swallowed his saliva and responded in a low voice without confidence.

"However, it is still a bit too far for me to reach that level of strength...either...or...leave the successor to someone else..."

"No, in today's Kirigakure Village, you are the only one who has enough potential and prestige to become the future Fifth Generation Mizukage..."

Terumi Mei murmured in a low voice, showing a submissive and guilty look.In the impression of the leader, the image of a strong woman with both strength and softness can be regarded as completely different. There is a significant gap between the two.The leader was slightly surprised and stunned, and he realized more and more clearly that the Terumi Mei in front of him was just a young girl who was just starting out.Then he secretly thought about it, whether the expectations and pressure he put on the people in front of him were too great, and his existence would overwhelm the self-confidence of the people in front of him.As if to mend the situation, he stretched out his hand, flicked Zhao Meiming's smooth forehead, and responded solemnly word for word.

"So, you have to have some confidence in yourself, little girl...as long as you practice hard and become a shadow-level powerhouse, and a qualified Fifth Generation Mizukage. For you, it's just a matter of time."

Of course, in terms of effect, the leader's words were undoubtedly quite effective... After all, under the constant stream of revelations, even Terumi Mei was unwilling to admit it in her heart.But she couldn't erase it. At this moment, she believed every word said by the person in front of her!

"...Hey, at this time, I will pretend to be an elder...little...little girl or something...Judging from your body shape, you are not necessarily much bigger than me..."

It was precisely because of this that Terumi Mei's face, which was already a little red after being stunned for a moment, suddenly turned red at the slightest affectionate gesture.Then he muttered bravely and regained his confidence.While trying to keep his mind clear, he thought about it thoughtfully.

"However, when I reach the shadow level, I will be able to start taking action... In this way, can I understand that the brainwashing method of the mastermind behind the scenes is ineffective against the shadow level powerhouse?"

"Hmm? Congratulations, you got the answer right...! Although I really want to say that, it's impossible. After all, I can't give a [-]% sure answer to the extent of the other party's manipulation methods. Moreover, if it was really ineffective against a strong Kage-level person, the current fourth generation Mizukage would have probably taken it upon himself to deal with him ruthlessly, right?"

After hearing Terumi Mei's seemingly reasonable conjecture, the leader deliberately lengthened his tone, but in the next second, the conversation took a turn for the worse, pouring cold water on Terumi Mei.Then he spread his hands and shrugged quite innocently, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued speaking calmly.

"However, one thing I can be sure of is that even if the person behind the scenes has some kind of special brainwashing control ability, this ability will eventually have its limits."

"In other words, only when you, as the leader of the new generation, reach the level of strength of a shadow-level powerhouse, will you be able to gain the power of self-protection and at the same time have enough chips to compete with the mastermind behind the scenes. A head-on confrontation!"

"And at that moment, it is you... no, it is the best moment for the entire Kirigakure Village to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the mastermind behind the scenes!"
