Terumi Mei looked at Scarlet as she said "Let me tell you one more thing to increase your motivation. I saw the token that you bought from the shop and I know that it is related to the treasure of the Ancestor of Yuki clan"
Scarlet asks "Is there something special about this treasure"
Terumi Mei says "Well let me tell you something about the past of Yuki clan, you can then understand is special about this treasure."
Mei continues "According to what I heard from the elders of my clan, The Yuki clan's Ancestor was very powerful and fought on equal with the heads of Uchiha and Senju clan, but after the fight, he suddenly kidnapped many famous blacksmiths of which some even belonged to the infamous Kusanagi clan and went into seclusion. The Yuki clan Ancestor and the blacksmiths went into a cave but never returned. The cave was blocked with ice which can be opened using this token."
Scarlet was shocked there was such a story behind this token but she also got confused as she asked "How could the Yuki clan Ancestor fight on equal with the head of the Uchiha clan and Senju clan. The power my Ice can't even contend with your Boil release but he faced two clan heads it doesn't make sense"
Terumi Mei said "I didn't say that Yuki clan way powerful, although the Yuki clan members were strong it is not much trouble to defeat them but the Ancestor was different he used to use Ice style without making any hand signs at all. He made a Mountain of ice out of thin air but every time he fights his emotions seems to out of control. It was only due to the fear of his power that the Yuki clan was accepted as equal with others clans otherwise the Kaguya clan would have long wiped them out"
Scarlet thought 'Was this guy mentioned in the anime? I don't remember him being reincarnated. Right, what happened to his body?'
Scarlet asked, "what happened to him later?"
Terumi Mei replied with serious voice "No one knows, well I mean no one managed to successfully go into the cave. After unlocking the cave with the token many genius of Yuki clan stepped into the cave and all of them fell unconscious at the entrance. Most of the genius went insane while some managed to retain their sanity but had a serious trauma. All we know is that they had some sort of Nightmare which is different from genjutsu."
Scarlet asked, "Have you guys tried space-time ninjutsu?"
Mei "No need to think about it, there are seals which prevent anyone from using any type of ninjutsu to enter the cave."
Scarlet asked, "How the hell is this even increasing my Motivation?"
Mei said "I thought you would be motivated to be the first person to enter the cave successfully"
Scarlet replied "Even though I like challenges like these, this one is little too creepy. Well, I will test it out later."
Terumi Mei said, "I believe you will be able to do it."
Scarlet asked with a confused face "Why are so confident about me?"
Terumi Mei said "Just intuition, but you know, a women's intuition is really frightening. When you will return to the village hidden in the mist to complete your part of the deal I will show you the whereabouts of the cave."
Scarlet didn't reply and started to go back when Mei stopped her, she said: "You better go from another route or else the ninja guards will doubt how you returned from the clutches of those men."
Scarlet looked at Mei and said "Thanks" and left in other direction as she thought 'I need to return fast, sooner or later the guards will arrive here to check the situation and we need to leave before they doubt us.'
Scarlet went towards the tavern and ordered a tea when she noticed that others had not arrived. While she was sipping tea Soku and Ro had arrived, Scarlet looked towards them and nodded after which she continued to have tea. Soon Tenzo arrived and said "We should as soon as possible. The situation in the Village Hidden in the mist is a lot worse than we expected."
All of them and nodded and then left the village. They then wrote the information they collected on a scroll and submitted it to Tenzo. Later they returned to the village, Tenzo went to submit the mission while others went home.
