"You are the rumored Flying Thunder God user from the ninja world?"
As Terumi Mei inspected Haku, Ringo Ameyuri followed Shishou, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
She had heard the story of the Flying Thunder God user saving the Hidden Mist Village from the threat of a Tailed Beast Bomb, but she had been on a mission at the time and had never seen Shishou, so she didn't recognize him earlier.
"And you are the Lightning Release genius of the Hidden Mist Village?"
Seeing Ringo Ameyuri scrutinize him, Shishou also looked her up and down. When he saw the twin swords on her back, which were larger than her body, he couldn't help but laugh.
As one of the few remaining geniuses in the Hidden Mist Village, especially a Lightning Release genius, Shishou had heard about Ringo Ameyuri from Terumi Mei.
Terumi Mei was forming her own Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and Ringo Ameyuri was the first to join, receiving the dual swords Hiramekarei, which had abilities comparable to Samehada.
Hiramekarei not only had a chakra emission function similar to Susanoo but could also enhance itself through killing enemies, making it a sword with potential rivaling Samehada.
As for the Samehada that Shishou had obtained from Kisame, Terumi Mei gave it to Mangetsu Hozuki of the Hozuki Clan.
The Hozuki Clan's secret Hydrification Technique, combined with Samehada's chakra absorption, created unexpected synergies.
"That's me!"
Hearing that even the Flying Thunder God user had heard of her, Ringo Ameyuri felt extremely proud, unconsciously lifting her chin with a smug look.
Then, Ringo Ameyuri looked at Shishou with some excitement and said, "I heard you're strong. How about a fight?"
Despite her small stature, she had a competitive nature and loved to challenge others, seeking excitement.
Looking at the spirited loli before him, Shishou grinned and said, "It's better not to; you can't beat me."
"We haven't fought yet; how do you know I can't beat you?" Ringo Ameyuri retorted, baring her teeth and glaring at Shishou.
Although she knew she couldn't win against Shishou, she still wanted to spar with him for some excitement.
It made her feel that life was more interesting.
Shishou chuckled without replying, extending a finger. At the tip, chakra gathered, glowing blue, forming a Rasengan.
"The Rasengan of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha?"
Seeing the Rasengan at Shishou's fingertip, Ringo Ameyuri raised an eyebrow.
As an elite of the Hidden Mist Village, she naturally knew about the famous jutsus of the Fourth Hokage.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan, if it weren't for Shishou's well-known relationship with Terumi Mei and the fact that the Fourth Hokage had been dead for years, Ringo Ameyuri might have suspected that Shishou was the Fourth Hokage himself.
Shishou glanced at Ringo Ameyuri and then transformed the Rasengan at his fingertip into a water-based Whirlwind Rasengan.
"Your water release skills are impressive."
Feeling the terrifying energy contained within Shishou's Rasengan, Ringo Ameyuri was slightly alarmed.
She knew that the Rasengan in Shishou's hand was no ordinary jutsu.
Shishou chuckled, then threw the Whirlwind Rasengan towards the empty sea beyond the port.
As soon as the Whirlwind Rasengan touched the water, it expanded rapidly, forming a five-meter-wide mini water tornado, sending out countless sharp water blades, causing a splash.
"It's that powerful!"
Seeing the mini water tornado on the sea, Ringo Ameyuri's mouth opened in shock.
She knew Shishou was strong, but to use such a powerful and wide-ranging water release jutsu so casually was beyond her imagination.
The most surprising part was that she hadn't seen him form any hand signs, meaning this powerful jutsu was instantaneous.
"The Flying Thunder God user is amazing!"
"A casual move to create such a large-scale water release jutsu. Truly the man of Terumi Mei-sama."
"I heard this port and the fishing company were also invested in by the Flying Thunder God user..."
Shishou's mini water tornado naturally caught the attention of other Hidden Mist Village ninjas at the port, who looked at him with shock and admiration.
Because of Shishou's relationship with Terumi Mei, these Hidden Mist ninjas naturally hoped he was as strong as possible.
'Shishou-sama is still so powerful.'
'Terumi Mei-sama needs to have a child with him soon. That way, Shishou-sama will be the strongest protector of the Hidden Mist Village.'
'And once Terumi Mei-sama has Shishou-sama's child, he might further invest in the Hidden Mist Village or even join it.'
Ao, with his Byakugan, had been watching Shishou since he appeared. Seeing the mini water tornado, his thoughts raced.
As someone with Byakugan, he was second only to Terumi Mei in understanding Shishou's terrifying strength.
The relationship between Terumi Mei and Shishou was well known in the Hidden Mist Village, partly due to his efforts.
In his view, the ninja world was turbulent, with the Akatsuki organization eyeing the Hidden Mist Village.
The Hidden Mist Village alone couldn't handle the coming crisis.
Only by ensuring Terumi Mei had Shishou's support could the Hidden Mist Village safely navigate the impending threats.
Sharing Ao's thoughts was the elder of the Hidden Mist Village, who had also given his approval for this plan.
Then, Ao glanced at Ringo Ameyuri standing beside Shishou, squinted, and decided to report today's events to the elder for further advice.
Terumi Mei took a brief glance at the water tornado created by Shishou and then at Ringo Ameyuri beside him before turning her attention back to Haku.
Having seen greater sights, she wasn't easily impressed by such displays.
However, Zabuza was astonished by the high-power water tornado Shishou casually created.
It seemed Terumi Mei had indeed found a remarkable man!
The next moment, Zabuza was stunned again.
Because he saw a fiery Rasengan appear at Shishou's fingertip.
Seeing the fiery Rasengan, Ringo Ameyuri was once again shocked, finding it hard to believe.
The energy contained in this Rasengan felt several times more terrifying than the previous one.
"This Rasengan contains sage chakra," Shishou explained to the stunned Ringo Ameyuri.
Then, he threw the Flame Stream Rasengan at the still-growing water tornado.
Boom!!
The Flame Stream Rasengan collided with the water tornado, exploding into a wide-ranging firestorm on the sea, neutralizing the water tornado entirely.
Seeing the wide firestorm on the sea, Ringo Ameyuri was speechless.
Then, with an excited expression, she looked at Shishou and said, "Do another one, with Lightning Release and sage chakra."
