After the large-scale thunder fell, the Jonin of Kirigakure Village were instantly scattered and fled everywhere.
They lost..
Terumi, who insisted on fighting with Lava Release, could not reverse the decline of Kirigakure Village at this moment. This Thunderbird, they simply couldn't fight it, they were completely outmatched.
The range of the Thunderbird's purple electricity attack is very large, and it is fast and can fly. As long as they don't directly rush over and dive like just now, the people of Kirigakure Village have no way to deal with it, they can't counter it.
Is Terumi Mei's Lava Release useful?
Yes, it can cause damage. As long as the quantity is sufficient, it can completely eliminate the Thunderbird.
But the problem is, it is a sticky liquid, not light in weight, can it hit the Thunderbird? Can Terumi Mei spray this thing to a height of hundreds of meters? She can't do it, she can't hit the Thunderbird at all!
As for Boil Release, it's even more embarrassing. Just now, if she used Boil Release, a large-scale output method that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, the ninjas of Kirigakure Village would probably die faster than the Thunderbird. She simply can't use it.
So...
On the surface, Terumi Mei is a dual kekkei genkai, a genius, a very strong Mizukage, but in reality, when facing the Thunderbird, this bloodline isn't much use.
The first challenge to the Thunderbird, a big failure!
...
Somewhere in Kirigakure Village.
The masked man in the shadows crossed his arms, naturally leaning against the wall. A hint of blood color was faintly revealed in the spiral mask, and he spoke in a low voice:
"You're here, alone."
On the other side, Terumi Mei stared at the masked man in front of her and said, "One person is enough."
"Hmph, the alliance we talked about before, did you agree?" the masked man asked.
"Kirigakure Village can form an alliance, but you must help us deal with the Thunderbird and the wind attribute cube." Terumi Mei stared at the body, hands, and feet of the masked man, not daring to meet his gaze.
"No problem."
The mask agreed directly, and then continued to say, "According to reliable information, the envoy of Kirigakure Village has been killed by the people of Konohagakure, and both the Thunderbird and the wind attribute cube are masterpieces of Konohagakure. They deliberately set you up."
Of course, this is what he made up. With Naruto there, White Zetsu can't even get into Konohagakure, how could he possibly get firsthand information?
But the truth doesn't matter, what matters is whether Terumi Mei will believe it. If she doesn't believe it, will she waver and affect her choices in the future?
The masked man just wants to throw dirt, and directly pour it on Konohagakure before the facts are reluctantly established. Konohagakure's top combat power is too strong, whether it's Naruto or Sasuke, or Ino who has fully transformed into a tailed beast, and Hinata who has a Byakugan as strong as the Rinnegan, their strength is too strong, the Akatsuki organization simply can't fight Konohagakure.
So, in order to capture the Nine-Tails, in order to create the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, they must unite all the major ninja villages and increase their combat power as much as possible.
"Is that so?"
Terumi Mei squinted her eyes, not believing.
Hahaha, if Konohagakure is really that strong, how could their home be demolished? Could it be that the strongest of Konohagakure did it on purpose, and then deliberately demolished Konohagakure while dealing with the waves?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Although Terumi Mei has heard about Konohagakure, her understanding of the specific situation is still on paper, and the direct description has a misunderstanding, so she actually does not have a deep understanding of how fierce the attack that destroyed Konohagakure was. Her understanding is still that Konohagakure has suffered a great trauma.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the most real reality, I'm not joking." Seeing that Terumi Mei obviously didn't believe it, the masked man had no ripples in his heart, and his tone was still cold and low.
With this casually made-up talk, he himself didn't believe it. The masked man just wanted to act mysterious and cold, making Terumi Mei feel that such a thing is possible, that's enough, he needs a loyal ally.
"Yes, I understand."
Seeing the masked man's attitude so serious, Terumi Mei couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart.
Could it be, it really has something to do with Konohagakure? Behind the destruction of Konohagakure, is there any other story? Theoretically speaking, the weak Konohagakure wouldn't dare to do anything to Ao and Chojuro, the higher-ups of Konohagakure are all well-known soft persimmons in the ninja world... except for that shit-stirrer Danzo.
Moreover, what's more important is that from the perspective of interests, Konohagakure, at the cost of a large area of the village being destroyed, hides its strength to attract and kill the ninjas of Kirigakure Village and seize the Byakugan. This is a loss, and a village that prioritizes interests would not do this.
Now, Ao and Chojuro have not returned yet. The greatest possibility is not that they were killed by Konohagakure, but that they were blocked by the Formless Wind and Thunderbird at sea. The probability of them being killed by the Thunderbird is much higher than being trapped and killed by Konohagakure.
After all, they came by boat from the sea area of Konohagakure, which is far from the shore. Once attacked, either they run back to Konohagakure the same way, or they run to Kirigakure Village under great pressure. But no matter which option, it's too dangerous, and the mortality rate is extremely high.
After all, not only is the Thunderbird's thunder drop very strong, but its speed is also as fast as lightning. After that collective siege, many Jonin of Kirigakure Village lost hope for the future. They don't know how to fight the Thunderbird and have no way to cope.
"So, when do you plan to deal with the Thunderbird and the wind element cube, do you need our help?" Terumi Mei asked.
"Of course not, but... you can watch the battle nearby and witness how strong your allies are." The masked man said with a slight smile.
Now, Pain has integrated Hashirama's cells and is worried that there are no enemies to try. Now, the Thunderbird and the wind element cube that appeared on the sea surface of Kirigakure Village are the best touchstones to test how the new power is.
"I understand."
Terumi Mei also showed a smile on her face and said, "Then, happy cooperation."
Now for her, it doesn't matter how many lies the masked man has told, she doesn't need to care. What's important is that this guy will help solve the problem, can deal with the Thunderbird and the wind element cube, and doing these is enough.
The world of ninjas does not talk about right or wrong, only interests. To seek the greatest interests for Kirigakure Village is the duty of the Mizukage.
"By the way, I warn you one last time."
"Hmm?"
"Don't underestimate Konohagakure. Although Konohagakure is in decline on the surface now, in fact, there are many top combat powers inside Konohagakure, and they have a lot of potential. Don't give them the opportunity to grow." The masked man said solemnly.
"Is that so?"
Terumi Mei's expression changed slightly. She found that this masked man was always serious and solemn in dealing with Konohagakure, with no changes throughout, and no joking tone.
Although she doesn't believe it much, she must also be prepared for the worst. What if it's true? She can't be unprepared, can she?
She must be careful and cautious.
