Chapter 342 The ambition of the swan

"You're lucky. I'll let you go this time!"

Pain slowly rose into the air carrying Yugao, whose life or death was unknown. Terumi Mei's face was pale, and she clenched her teeth tightly, with blood trickling out from the corners of her mouth, but she could only watch Pain leave.

She has used every possible means in the fight, but she is still unable to defeat this powerful man.

"Damn it! How could this happen!"

Mei Terumi covered her injured and bleeding arm and looked hatefully at the place where the other person disappeared.

Her strength has indeed reached the level of Kage, but her combat experience is still much more immature compared to Tsunade, Ōnoki, Ai and others.

Even Jiraiya, a veteran of battles, could only destroy three Pain puppets without any information about Pain.

And with the combined efforts of all the ninjas in the village, she was only able to destroy four puppet Pains, and it didn't take long before they were back to their original state. It was truly despairing!

"Mrs. Terumi Mei! How are you?"

Qing, who was also in a miserable state, also came to the side of Terumi Mei and asked with concern while looking at her condition.

Hearing his words, Mei Terumi no longer cared about her image and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

"I can't die. What are the casualties in the village?"

While she was speaking, Qing had already taken out a bandage from his waist and was bandaging the wound on her arm. The wound was caused by Pain's Shinra Tensei, and the wound was not shallow.

Looking at Mei Terumi, who looked pale but still concerned about the situation in the village, Qing's eyes also became dim.

"Nearly half of the village was destroyed. The civilians didn't suffer many casualties because they evacuated in time, but the ninjas suffered heavy losses..."

Every time she heard a piece of news, Mei Terumi's heart sank a little. It can be said that this incident directly caused serious damage to the vitality of the Hidden Mist Village.

Originally, when the Blood Mist Ceremony had just ended, I thought good days were coming. After establishing contact with the North, there were signs of prosperity.

But who would have known that Payne would just come here and make them go back to the time before liberation.

"It was my fault for not being able to protect the village! Especially when I watched the newly welcomed Jinchūriki being captured!"

A feeling of bitterness came from the depths of her heart, making Terumi Mei fall into deep self-blame.

"If I were stronger, and paid more attention to the Jinchūriki, and made the ninjas in the village more alert..."

"No! Sir, you have done a great job! This is not just your problem. As long as we are alive, there is still hope!"

Qingyu said earnestly that although he had lived to a ripe old age and might not have other advantages, his mentality was still relatively stable.

Hearing this, Mei Terumi came back to her senses and murmured softly.

"Hope! There is hope only when you are alive, right!"

She picked herself up again, thinking that now was not the time to ask for blame, and Mei Terumi slowly stood up from the ground.

"Save the wounded immediately and count the casualties..."

As expected of the first female Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, she quickly adjusted her state and carried out the rescue work in an orderly manner.

At the same time, a request for assistance was sent to the North. The two sides have a cooperative relationship, and the other party will definitely not refuse this international assistance.

In addition, Yugao was kidnapped again just after the Hidden Mist Village redeemed him, so Mei Terumi must have felt extremely aggrieved.

If she hadn't known that the enemy this time was the Akatsuki organization, she would have thought that it was the North who was secretly behind the scenes.

Mei Terumi, who always felt that she had suffered a loss, naturally wanted to get back what she had gained, so she sent a message to the Northland as soon as possible.

Ye Cang did not hesitate after receiving the news. The cooperation between the two villages was still in the honeymoon period, so this request would naturally be met.

Just like the Earth in the previous life, terrorist attacks are not the responsibility of one country or one organization. All countries should actively participate.

Soon after, Guren led Kidomaru, Sakon Ukon, Karin and others to the Hidden Mist Village.

The people here are all born and raised here, so they can naturally represent the North. If it were Kisame, Mangetsu, and others who went there, it would probably be a bit awkward.

At the same time, at Mount Sumeru in the Ninja World.

"Sir, Kakashi has arrived, but it seems that there are several tails following him..."

Several of Beiliuhu's subordinates knelt on one knee in front of him and reported the intelligence they had gathered.

Looking at the people below, Beiliuhu nodded with satisfaction.

"Act according to the plan, hurry up and don't waste time!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

After receiving the order, several people immediately went down to make arrangements. Bei Liuhu also withdrew his gaze and quietly looked at the people tied to the rack in front of him.

These are the ninjas he has captured in the past few years under the guise of Akatsuki, and each of them possesses a special bloodline limit.

"Kakashi, this is really exciting..."

Thinking of the goal that was about to be achieved, Beiliuhu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

In his opinion, the only person Konoha can rely on right now is Tsunade. As for senior ninjas like Kakashi and Might Guy, he doesn't take them seriously at all.

Previously, he had revealed his identity of Konoha and Akatsuki so ostentatiously in order to alert the enemy. Konoha was not sure whether his declaration of war on Konoha was a personal act or whether Akatsuki was manipulating it from behind.

In this way, Konoha will definitely not dare to act rashly in order to protect the village; and the number of ninjas he will send to deal with him will not be many, and they will not be very strong.

But no matter how he planned, he could not have imagined that the people coming here included not only the Son of the Plane, but also his old acquaintance Jiraiya!

When Kakashi was successfully controlled to appear in front of him and the ceremony was almost over, Tsunade immediately activated the backhand she left on Kakashi's arm.

The power of the curse seal instantly woke Kakashi up, and he immediately broke free from the ritual.

"Kakashi... How is this possible!"

Hiruko, whose ritual was disrupted, immediately became furious and after absorbing the bloodline limits of the remaining people, he went straight to kill Kakashi.

But a figure blocked his sight in time.

"Bei Liuhu! Your conspiracy has been exposed, surrender!"

As the words fell, the golden ring of the solar eclipse in the sky gradually faded away, and a ray of moonlight shone on the figure's face.

"Jiraiya! Why is it you!?"

As the leader of Konoha's Anbu, not many people know about Jiraiya's existence. His identity is similar to the original Danzo. He is the root of Konoha and also the shadow of Konoha.

Looking at the face in front of him that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Obiru still couldn't quite believe that the person was Jiraiya.

The familiarity was due to his appearance and dress, the strangeness was the traces left by the years. Also, the originally white hair had turned red, which was a bit abrupt.

"You haven't made a big mistake yet. For the sake of the fact that we were once friends, come back with me! I will ask the Hokage for mercy!"

Jiraiya still didn't want to attack his partner who he had fought side by side with. Although he and Hiruzen were not as close as Orochimaru, he didn't want to watch him continue to sink!

"Go back? Hahaha..."

Hearing this, Beiliuhu couldn't stop laughing as if his funny bone was hit.

This scene made Jiraiya frown. None of the defected ninjas were normal. At least some of them were mentally insane.

"Where to go back? You want me to go back and obey Tsunade's orders? This is ridiculous!"

The more he spoke, the gloomier Beiliuhu's face became, and his emotions became more and more agitated.

Bei Liuhu has never been as good as the three ninjas since he was a child, but even if he is born like an ant, he should have great ambitions! He has worked hard for so many years just to become stronger, so that no one can look down on him.

He wants to tell everyone that what he has lost, he will get it back with his own hands one day!

Now the person whom he had envied as a child not only came to ruin his plan, but also tried to persuade him to turn back and obey the orders of another partner. How could Beiliuhu, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, be willing to do that?

Jiraiya more or less understood his feelings, but he still had to do what he had to do. He had already watched one of his companions go astray, and he didn't want to let Hiruko make the same mistake again.

Just when the two people were on the verge of a tense situation, Naruto, Sakura and others behind them also rushed over.

But before they could ask about the situation, Beiluohu took the lead...
