Under the gazes of the gossips around me, even if I was so shameless, I couldn't stand it for a while.
Uto and Terumi Mei looked at each other slightly, then quickly retracted their gazes, and couldn't help but speed up their steps.
Soon, a trail of smoke and dust was left behind wherever the two of them passed on the street.
It wasn't until they were completely out of sight of the villagers that Uto and Terumi Mei stopped and took a deep breath.
"These guys! How dare you make fun of the Mizukage!"
Terumi Mei clenched her fists and muttered softly.
While talking to himself, Terumi Mei glanced at Righto from the corner of her eyes.
Just in time!
At this time, Righto's eyes were also looking at the panting Terumi Mei next to him.
The two people's eyes met again, Terumi Mei showed a trace of blush on her face and quickly looked away.
You Dou scratched his hair, with a rare look of embarrassment on his face.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous.
After a while, Youdou was the first to break the tranquility.
"I bought so many things, I will take them back first."
Right Dou shook the things hanging on his body, chuckled and said.
"Well, I also have some things that I need to go back to Shuiying's office to deal with."
Terumi Mei nodded, pretended to be calm, and spoke softly.
Righto smiled, not knowing how to speak. After waving his hand to Terumi Mei, he walked towards Terumi Mei's house.
Not far away, Youdou seemed to suddenly realize something and stretched out a hand to hold his forehead.
"Really, I deserve to be single!"
Thinking of the atmosphere just now, Youdou whispered to himself.
However, if you go through the scene just now, Youdou may still not make any movements.
It's not that You Dou is being pretentious.
Because of the seal, although Uto appears to be in his twenties, about the same age as Terumi Mei, if his actual age is considered, he might be enough to be Terumi Mei's grandfather.
What's more, whether others like you or not is another matter.
Righto held his forehead, instead of thinking about such troublesome things, it would be better to think about how to deal with those two guys, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
On the other side, watching Righto's figure gradually retreating, Terumi Mei patted her slightly red cheeks.
"Really, as a man, I don't take the initiative at all."
Terumi Mei spoke in a low voice.
After saying that, Terumi Mei quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there was no one there.
Terumi Mei brushed her long brown hair from her forehead, exuding a mature and dignified aura, with a smile on her lips:
"However, Lord Youdou doesn't look as stupid as I thought."
————
The next day.
Water Shadow Office.
Righto sat on the sofa on one side, quietly listening to what Ao and Chojuro reported to Terumi Mei.
Most of this information comes from Sunagakure Village.
The general content of the information is the transaction between Kirigakure Village's rich resources and Sunagakure Village, which satisfies both parties.
In the Kingdom of Wind, where most of the country is located in a windy and sandy zone, and because the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind are constantly reducing the number of ninjas and military funds,
It seems that Sunagakure Village is relatively poor, but it is not!
As one of the five great ninja villages, the overall strength of Sunagakure Village is indeed at the bottom of the five great ninja villages, but it must not be underestimated.
With the third Kazekage missing and the group leaderless, Luo Sha was able to take the position of Kazekage in a short period of time, relying on more than just his strength.
Don’t underestimate the role of any shadow-level powerhouse!
The Fourth Kazekage Rasa used magnetic escape to collect a large amount of placer gold, and single-handedly brought the chaotic Sunagakure Village to complete peace.
It can completely stabilize the entire Sand Hidden Village. It is completely conceivable that the placer gold collected by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa can be described as a huge amount for the entire Sand Hidden Village!
The amount is so huge that with these placer gold, Sunagakure Village can easily have the capital to trade with any other shinobi village.
In terms of strength, Sunagakure Village is indeed not considered strong, but in terms of financial resources, Sunagakure Village is second only to Konoha Village among the five great ninja villages.
Although the Fourth Kazekage Rasa has died, the large amount of placer gold collected during his lifetime can still last for a long time.
Not to mention, Sand Hidden Village itself has the unique method of refining puppets and poison-making technology among the five major ninja villages.
These are all items that can be easily traded and exchanged for money.
Of course, in addition to the information about cooperation with Sunagakure Village, there are also some secret actions of Kirigakure ninjas.
But compared with the transaction, these actions did not go smoothly.
After Ao and Chojuro told the relevant information, they respectfully exited the Mizukage office.
"Sir Righto, you don't seem particularly satisfied?"
Terumi Mei turned her head and looked at Righto, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyebrows slightly furrowed, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"Our purpose has never been to cooperate with Sunagakure Village, but to turn it into our vassal. Therefore, we should try to speed up our actions in Sunagakure Village."
Youdou spoke softly, his voice calm but with a hint of seriousness.
The current situation in Sunagakure Village, even though Granny Chiyo is in charge, is better than when the news of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa's death first came back to Sunagakure Village.
But essentially, the situation of Sunagakure Village has not changed at all.
At the beginning, Sunagakure Village was obviously in a weak situation, but it still brazenly launched the plan to collapse Konoha. From this point, it can be seen that Sunagakure Village was helpless about its own situation.
Financial resources do not equal strength!
This requires a certain amount of time and a sufficient transformation process, and it is obvious that Konoha does not want a Sunagakure Village that is gradually becoming stronger to appear near itself.
Of course, it's not just Konoha, other ninja villages probably have the same idea.
However, compared to the suppression of Konoha, the suppression of other major ninja villages is nothing.
After all, there is a land of fire and a sea between Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure Village. The threat is too low.
As for Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village, they are separated by large and small Shinobi villages, with enough buffer zones.
Being suppressed so severely by Konoha, it would be abnormal for Sunagakure Village not to do something.
Under the current circumstances, Kirigakure Village and Sunagakure Village are cooperating.
On the surface, Kirigakure Village provides resources, and Sunagakure Village provides funds, or provides support to Kirigakure Village under some special circumstances.
But in essence, it is the infiltration of Kirigakure Village into Sunagakure Village.
The principle of being beaten if you fall behind is universal in any world.
The current situation of Sunagakure Village is not very good. For Kirigakure Village, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Kirigakure Village will naturally not miss such a good opportunity to encroach. Of course, this will require a process or some time.
After all, Granny Chiyo and Ebizo are not just decorations.
Terumi Mei nodded gently. She naturally took this matter very seriously.
"If Chiyo of Sunagakure Village blocks her too hard..."
Having said this, Youdou's voice paused slightly, and then suddenly mentioned another thing:
"It seems that the current Sunagakure Village has not yet established a new generation of Kazekage, right?"
A flash of light flashed in Terumi Mei's eyes. Although Lord Uto didn't say it clearly, Terumi Mei understood the meaning immediately.
