"Okay then!"
Kaji has nothing to say, 'Indeed, even the Senju Clan can be dug away, and even if Terumi Mei can be said to be a genius Shinobi in the village, she does not have a huge power of her own, and there are not too many powerful people or clan behind her, so we can give it a try.'
In this way, two days later, since Mei was not born in a big clan and she is a civilian genius, if they want to see her, it's very convenient. And Kaji asked her out to meet Asahi.
When she first saw Asahi, Mei's face changed. It was similar to those people before, basically, people of the other villages, as long as they are Shinobi, their face will change when they see Asahi.
"Well, it seems that everyone really has the same expression, but I won't say much nonsense, Terumi Mei-dono, on behalf of Iwagakure, I invite you to join Iwagakure. May I ask if you agree or not?"
Regarding Mei, Asahi started soliciting very simply as soon as he opened his mouth and didn't say much. First, it's to look at Mei's attitude. If she refuses in the first time, then he would just forget it. But if she hesitated, then there is hope for poaching her. In short, Asahi needs to judge whether Mei can really be poached based on her attitude.
With Mei's personality, there is absolutely no situation where she will directly agree, Asahi can still be sure about this.
"Huh… Iwagakure's Asahi-sama, is it really okay to ask me this kind of question as soon as we meet?"
Mei looked at Asahi a little helplessly. Although Asahi is a few years younger than her, no matter whether his strength or aura, they are very strong, plus he gets straight to the point. The current Mei is not the later Mei, who is very sultry, right now, she is still a little girl. But she has already shown the kind of attitude that some high-ranking people have. At least, after seeing Asahi, although she was shocked, she was not too stage fright.
However, her answer made Asahi almost come to the conclusion that it is not impossible to dig her at all. Right now, it depends on the bargaining chip he gave and how to convince the other party.
"It's better to be direct than being polite, then, what is your decision or what are your requirements?"
After Asahi determined that he could dig her, he also started to cut into other topics.
"Why do you think I will leave Kirigakure? My life at Kirigakure is pretty good. After all, if there's no accident, the next Mizukage will be me. In this case, you still think you can dig me out? Although I already know about the relationship between Iwagakure and Konoha, but where does your confidence come from?"
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Mei's mouth, and Asahi once again looked at her.
"Yagura, my confidence is Yagura. In the entire Kirigakure, there is only one Kage-level powerhouse, which is Yagura, and the series of policies he implemented will only make the entire Kirigakure fall into the abyss."
"You might really have the qualifications to become the next Mizukage, but don't have it anymore. Yagura's movements are getting bigger and bigger, and you have not even touched the threshold of quasi-Kage now. Even if you are given three more years, there is no way you can directly enter Kage-level."
"Moreover, even if you can enter Kage-level in three years, it will be enough for Yagura to turn the entire Kirigakure into nothing."
"Of course, you can also jump over the wall and fight Yagura directly. But even if you can kill Yagura, Kirigakure will also be destroyed, and if Yagura does not die and comes back, Kirigakure will be removed from the rank of Five Great Shinobi Villages."
"Although you have potential, time is your weakness. Furthermore, Yagura knows your talents and knows that you can threaten him. With that, your life will not be easy, and your chance of dying is very high. In summary, where do you think my confidence comes from?"
Asahi smiled and said his own speculation. Because it is not the original work, everything is going to unknown path, plus without Byakugan, how can Kirigakure break the Genjutsu on Yagura and defeat him?
"What a cruel speech, are you really only twelve years old?"
Mei was still too young at this time. When Asahi said something like this, her expression suddenly collapsed. She hadn't thought about part of what Asahi said, but she felt it made sense.
There is a high probability that it will be the same as what Asahi speculated, and that means she is in danger. She is a civilian genius Shinobi. Although she has received support from some clans because of her talent, she herself was never born in a big clan.
Just like Orochimaru in Konoha back then. He was also one of Hokage's candidates. It is not that civilians are not qualified to compete for Hokage's position, but because of the need for backing. And Orochimaru had Sandaime as his teacher at the time, and his strength was also strong enough.
The same is true for Mei. Some clans are willing to invest in her in advance. As a genius Shinobi, they will invest a sum to her, if she dies halfway, they will not lose too much, and if she rises, they can also get a lot of returns.
So even as a civilian Shinobi, Mei lived a very nourishing life, but when she thought of that kind of future, she couldn't help but felt chill in her heart. Right now, she very much doubts whether Asahi is twelve years old or not, as he's too abnormal.
"Wrong, I'll be thirteen soon! Now, can you give me the answer? Yes or no?"
Asahi answered concisely. Right now, he has basically grasped Mei's death point. To put it bluntly, she is still young. If it is the latter Mei, it is estimated that even Asahi's silver tongue can't say anything to sway her.
"Is it okay to be euphemistic? Haah, I can join you, but I have some conditions!"
Mei was obviously swayed, so she asked for conditions.
"Yes, but you can't go too far. Although you have the qualifications to become a powerhouse, you are still not a powerhouse yet!"
Asahi glanced at Mei and said lightly.
"You… Forget it, I don't care about you!"
Mei was also discouraged in an instant. She is still too tender and there is no comparison between her and Asahi at all. This was like the gap between the little white rabbit and the old fox. In desperation, Mei can only make her own request, but these requests are basically very simple, nothing more than taking away some of her friends and relatives, and also the guarantee of her freedom, life security, etc.
Regarding this, Asahi almost couldn't hold back his laugh. These things are the most basic, and it is also best for him if Mei wanted to take some people away. After all, with her wanting to take her bonds away, it can be seen that she didn't have much nostalgia for Kirigakure. Now, he wanted to thank Yagura, or more specifically Obito, for this assist, as it is almost as good as Danzo's.
