"Quick! Go support Lord Mizukage!"
"The Kaguya clan dares to rebel, they deserve to die!"
A team of people quickly passed by the street opposite Lin Yu, looking like Mizukage guards. Based on their speed, they would reach the Mizukage Building in about three to four minutes.
But unfortunately, they probably wouldn't have a chance to be of use.
Just as Lin Yu was about to withdraw his gaze, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a beautiful woman with brown curly hair wearing a ninja outfit, appearing to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. Her chest, however, was already burgeoning, only slightly smaller than Tsunade's!
Lin Yu was confident, as he had seen it very clearly last time and was quite sure about Tsunade's measurements.
Is this... Mei Terumi?
Lin Yu couldn't see very clearly, her face was obscured by her curly hair, and he could only see a perfect profile. However, in the Hidden Mist Village, there was only Mei Terumi with such a figure among beautiful women. It shouldn't be wrong.
Soon, the group of ninjas disappeared from Lin Yu's sight. Lin Yu and his companions didn't attract any attention. Although their attire didn't look like that of Hidden Mist ninjas, the situation was urgent, and they didn't have time to interrogate Lin Yu and his group.
"Are you done eating, Kurenai?"
"Mhm!"
Kurenai Yuhi licked the sauce from her hands, her cat-like face filled with contentment. Coming out this time was absolutely the right decision!
She had not only drunk the sake she had longed for but also eaten authentic octopus!
Kurenai Yuhi felt as if half of her life goals had been accomplished!
Lin Yu always felt that Kurenai Yuhi had been spoiled. If he had to talk about raising someone, Kurenai Yuhi was someone he had watched grow up. He had intended to cultivate a mature woman but ended up with a greedy little loli.
How did it turn out this way?
As Lin Yu thought this, he subconsciously glanced at Mikoto's doting gaze, and the truth dawned on him!
It was Mikoto who raised her!
"Customer, your octopus is packed."
Lin Yu took the takeaway box, paid the bill, and left the Hidden Mist Village with the two beauties, big and small. As for Mei Terumi... we'll meet again in three days!
...
Land of Rain, Hidden Rain Village.
On the high tower, which rained as it always did, Nagato stood indifferently at the summit, surveying the territory that belonged to him.
"Leader, I want to report! This guy is trying to kill me all day long!"
Kisame Hoshigaki landed on the tower's summit, his shark-like face filled with grievance and anger.
This newcomer had no respect for his seniors!
As soon as he arrived, he took over all the money-making missions that Kisame was so proud of. He, Kisame, had hoped to brag in the future that he had once supported the entire organization single-handedly!
Now, it was all ruined!
Moreover, not only was this guy faster at making money than him, but his strength was also top-notch.
If not for Boss Obito giving him Samehada, he, Kisame Hoshigaki, might have already perished!
"Your head is worth far more than those bounty hunters. If you're not strong enough, then dying is just dying!"
Kakuzu's muffled and indifferent voice came from the dark doorway. Only a pair of dark green eyes were visible outside, making his entire being appear extremely sinister and eerie.
"Aren't we in the same organization? You kill your own teammates?"
Kisame Hoshigaki knew that he had been targeted by some people over the years for constantly hunting down bounty hunters, and his head was also on the bounty list.
However, he didn't care about all this. It was also a form of recognition of his strength!
But Kisame Hoshigaki never expected there to be an oddball like Kakuzu in the ninja world who would kill his own teammates for a bounty. What kind of person was he!
"Kakuzu, infighting is forbidden within the organization!"
"Yes, Leader."
"Very good!"
Nagato nodded with satisfaction and then looked at Kisame Hoshigaki.
"Hey, hey, hey, Leader, you're not going to believe him just like that, are you?"
"Don't worry, if you die, I will avenge you."
Kisame Hoshigaki was speechless. What kind of leader was this? What use is revenge if I'm already dead!
"Let's go. I've received another good mission. The bounty this time won't be small."
Kakuzu turned and entered the dark high tower, leaving Kisame Hoshigaki alone to face Nagato's "aloof" gaze.
Three seconds later, Kisame Hoshigaki finally gave in, walked down the high tower dejectedly, and sighed in his heart: Can't I be assigned a more reliable partner?!
Nagato turned around and looked down at the village again. He was aware of Kakuzu's cruel and bloodthirsty nature, but compared to the money he earned for the organization, it seemed insignificant.
Moreover, he was also aware of Kisame Hoshigaki's strength; he wasn't so easily killed. The man's chakra was unimaginably vast, and with Samehada, he was like a human-tailed beast.
Their combination might work for now, but eventually, there would be casualties.
The organization still lacked manpower!
Nagato spoke to the air, "Have you found any suitable candidates to join the organization recently?"
A White Zetsu clone emerged from the surface of the tower and respectfully replied, "Not yet. However, we could let Orochimaru and Kakuzu team up. According to investigations, Orochimaru has strong survival capabilities and won't be easily killed."
"Orochimaru? Never mind, he has other uses."
Nagato was also aware of Orochimaru's survival abilities, after all, he had just teamed up with Obito for a doubles match a few days ago.
He was slippery, and fighting him wasn't a pleasant experience.
"Continue gathering intelligence!"
...
Konoha Village, Hokage's Office.
Minato Namikaze held a latest piece of news from the Land of Lightning, his brow furrowed. "The Hidden Cloud wants to send envoys to Konoha to discuss a diplomatic agreement. Shikaku, what are your thoughts?"
Shikaku Nara pondered for three seconds and said solemnly, "Lord Hokage, the Hidden Cloud's sudden visit must have ulterior motives, perhaps similar to the kidnapping of the village's Jinchuriki years ago."
"The Hidden Cloud kidnapped the village's Jinchuriki before?"
Minato Namikaze was somewhat surprised. The Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, that would be...
"Yes, Lord Hokage. That time, the Hidden Cloud even took the Jinchuriki out of the village, but fortunately, they were retrieved by Konoha ninjas, and no significant losses were incurred."
"Oh, is that so..."
Minato Namikaze originally wanted to say, then why hasn't the Hidden Cloud Village been destroyed yet?
How dare they lay hands on Kushina; wouldn't Lin Yu-senpai have beaten them to death?
Minato Namikaze knew that Lin Yu had the strength to do so. The entire Eternal Organization could wipe out a village, or even a country.
Indeed! Lin Yu-senpai didn't lie to me; our Eternal Organization is truly protecting the ninja world, not a dark organization!
"Then what will be the Hidden Cloud's objective this time?"
As for the excuse of discussing an agreement, Minato believed that unless one was completely foolish, they wouldn't believe it.
But regardless of whether he believed it or not, the pretense had to be maintained, as this represented the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire, not their personal actions.
"Has the Hidden Cloud delegation departed?"
"They departed yesterday and are expected to arrive at Konoha in seven days."
"Issue a notification: increase security during the Hidden Cloud's visit, and have the Anbu keep a close eye on every single person who arrives from the Hidden Cloud!"
"Don't give them even the slightest opportunity!"
"Yes!"
