Along the way, Terumi Mei and the trio have had an eye-opening experience in the Land of Fire.
Upon closer inspection, in fact, the Kingdom of Fire is not much richer than the Kingdom of Water. The small towns along the way also have ruffians, beggars and the like, and the people are not that rich.
But there is an indescribable and unexplained atmosphere that envelopes the entire Fire Nation, as if it is accumulating power until one day it explodes and shocks the entire ninja world.
Before shocking the entire ninja world, the changes in Konoha Village first shocked the Terumi Mei trio.
Although the original Konoha Village was much larger than other ninja villages, it was only the size of a town.
But the Konoha he saw now... Looking at the tall buildings rising from the ground and the busy construction site in front of him, Terumi Mei was stunned.
"Are they... building a wall?"
Mei Terumi raised her head hard and looked at the high wall under construction in front of her.
In the past, Konoha Village also had walls, but they were only a few meters high and could only block enemies a little.
For powerful men like Inikaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi, the existence of this wall only barely blocks their steps.
But now, the wall built by Konoha... no, this should be called a city wall, it is dozens of meters high!
"What's going on? Does Konoha have to guard against the passing of giants?" Terumi Mei complained, and then she and the two people beside her walked to a place similar to a city gate.
The person stationed here is still a familiar face, Shiranui Genma.
His current position is the captain of the Konoha Castle Defense Team. He is responsible for managing and protecting the giant wall that is under construction.
The Terumi Mei trio revealed their identities and immediately alerted him.
"Welcome to Konoha." Shiranui Genma bowed slightly to show respect.
"I have already notified the village, please come with me first."
The trio followed Shiranui Genma into Konoha Village. As soon as they passed through the city gate and entered Konoha, Ao involuntarily raised his head and looked at an open izakaya on the street.
Just now, he felt a very familiar scanning force sweep over his trio.
"It's the Hyuga family's eye-opening ninja." Ao immediately made a judgment.
Under the blindfold on his right eye is a white eye taken from the Hyuga clan.
Therefore, he is very familiar with the power of Byakugan.
"In addition to the ninjas of the Hinata family, I also sensed a few people. They should all be Konoha's Anbu."
Because he was in Konoha Village, Ao did not rashly open his Byakugan for investigation.
The Byakugan ninja can sense the prying eyes of other Byakugan ninjas, and he does not want to take back the Byakugan he finally captured from Konoha.
While Ao was secretly observing, Terumi Mei was doing the same thing.
There was a strange look on her face, as if she was a country person entering the city for the first time, and everything felt new.
This performance is half true, because Konoha does show many novel and interesting places.
But on the other hand, being able to become the shadow of a village, Terumi Mei will not be easily confused by these things.
"The outside is loose and the inside is tight. Konoha's defense is very tight." She judged: "It seems that Orochimaru really gave Konoha a serious blow."
Thinking of this, Terumi Mei felt a little lucky.
Among the three people, only Chojuro was truly focused and walked on silently.
As he approached the Hokage Building, Shiranui Genma took the initiative to slow down.
It wasn't until he saw the fifth generation Hokage, Tsunade, and a group of ninjas that he picked up his steps again.
"Welcome everyone from Kirigakure Village to Konoha." Tsunade, wearing a god robe and a Hokage hat, stood at the front of the welcoming team.
She looked at the woman in the middle who had a pair of green eyes, long reddish-brown curly hair, and was wearing a blue tube top dress. They were both women and the shadow of the same village. They had too many similarities.
, and there are too many differences.
It's a bit shameful to say that as a ninja, when Naruto saw two powerful Kage-level men in the same frame, the first thought that came to his mind was that they both had proud figures and a pair of huge
of OPPEIN.(Note 1)
Feeling that what he was thinking in his mind was too inappropriate, Naruto shook his head and tried to drive these thoughts out of his mind.
"Strange, how could I have evil thoughts in this situation?" Naruto thought. He is a great gentleman, how could he lose his power because of something like this?
"Thank you." Terumi Mei returned the favor in a very elegant manner. The moment she lowered her head, the shock in her eyes was released.
The only reason is that the momentum of the group of ninjas behind Tsunade-hime is really amazing.
This kind of aura is not illusory, but because these people are wearing chakra armor, and because the core device on the chest stores a large amount of chakra, they gather together to have such a powerful aura.
However, Mizukage is Mizukage after all. After she returned the gift, her face returned to its normal expression.
Not far away, there are a lot of cameras like guns and cannons. The cameras are pointed at this place and they keep taking pictures.
Of course, the meeting couldn't be held in an open space like this outside, so after the ceremonial etiquette was over, Tsunade immediately invited Terumi Mei to go to the Hokage's office for a detailed discussion.
Tsunade walked into the office first, Terumi Mei followed closely, and then Naruto also walked in.
Qing originally wanted to follow him, but unexpectedly a hand blocked him.
"The one just now was the Hokage Assistant of Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto-sama." Shikamaru explained with a smile. Both sides were smart people, and Ao immediately replied: "I was the one who was abrupt."
Konoha, Hokage's office.
"This is the Yondaime's son, Uzumaki Naruto, right? He is truly a hero. He became Konoha's assistant to the Hokage at a young age. He is truly outstanding." Terumi Mei said with a smile.
"If you weren't really too young, my sister would really want to have a good talk with you!"
Naruto had expected Terumi Mei to be so enthusiastic.
Although she is almost thirty years old and looks like a beautiful mature woman on the outside, she is like a little girl on the inside and even becomes obsessed with handsome guys.
Now Naruto is completely grown up, and is not inferior to Sasuke in terms of appearance. For such a sunny, cheerful, and handsome boy, it is not easy to attract Terumi Mei's attention.
Tsunade didn't expect that Terumi Mei would be like this, so she burst into laughter and felt relaxed all over. Don't deliberately maintain a high-minded appearance.
"If you want to understand Naruto, you will have plenty of time. I really want to know why you came to Konoha Village this time?" Tsunade went straight to the point and asked straight to the point.
When Terumi Mei heard this, the frivolous expression on her face suddenly subsided: "Of course you are here for the property of our Kirigakure Village."
