Chapter 230 Mei Terumi

Mei Terumi felt that she was sinking deeper and deeper.

At first, she had to seek political asylum in Konoha. Later, in order to survive, she agreed to do some tasks for Konoha, which she could accept.

But as time went on, she began to feel that something was wrong.

The first thing was that his subordinates began to become silent.

You have to know that when they first came to Konoha, the Kirigakure ninjas who followed her were still full of passion. They believed that Mei Terumi could lead them to save Kirigakure.

So, they followed her instructions and worked hard to return to Kirigakure one day.

But as time went on, the passion began to wane, because Mei Terumi discovered a very serious problem, or a series of problems.

The conditions offered by Konoha are too good.

That’s right, not too bad, but too good.

After she started to do missions for Konoha Village, she clearly realized the gap between Kirigakure and Konoha. This gap was not only in the combat power of ninjas.

It's more about the various details outside the combat system.

The first is money. In Konoha, the money earned from completing missions is 20% higher than that in Kirigakure.

The five major ninja villages had negotiated the pricing of tasks at all levels. Based on the difficulty of the task, the amount of money from each village was within a negotiated range.

After the mission is successful, the ninja and the village will be divided 50-50. But it is different in Konoha.

Konoha has long since given up on earning money by completing missions. They accept a large number of missions just to maintain their presence and train new members through various missions.

Since the opening of the sea and the mining, Tsunade has more money than she can spend. The ninja's share of the task has been increased to 70%.

In other words, for the same level of tasks, one can earn 20% more by completing them in Konoha.

Then there is the medical logistics service system.

It took Mei Terumi a long time to accept the fact that Konoha's medical system was not in the same dimension as other ninja villages.

In many previous missions, they had failed. Several times, several of Terumi Mei's elite subordinates were seriously injured and dying.

If it was in Kirigakure, the greatest kindness would be to send them on their way. But in Konoha, they were all treated and fully recovered, and even returned to the front line.

In addition, Konoha's ninja tools, intelligence, and even food are all dimensional attacks on these Kirigakure ninjas.

In a nutshell, life in Konoha is much better than in Kirigakure. I'm so happy here that I don't want to leave!!

Mei Terumi now even knows that one of her Ice Release Ninjas is actually in love in Konoha...

Mei Terumi could even be certain that all this was a conspiracy by Aoba Kamikawa.

Because most of the people he brought with him were top elites, many of whom were mystic ninjas or blood ninjas.

These ninjas themselves are a kind of high-quality resource. Kamikawa Aoba must have coveted this resource, so he used this method.

But Mei Terumi also knew that this was an open conspiracy, the kind with no solution.

Sometimes she even hoped that Kamikawa Aoba would be a little more brutal, so that she could at least confront him openly and lead her subordinates away with a legitimate reason.

But now, how can we leave? Because Konoha has been so good to you, so I have to take you away?

She couldn't do such a thing. These subordinates had already suffered a lot after leaving their homes and following her. It was rare for them to enjoy a little peace, and Mei Terumi didn't want to destroy their current life.

But if nothing is done, the slogan of saving Kirigakure will eventually become empty talk. Because up to now, she still has no idea how to save Kirigakure.

According to the information given by Kamikawa Aoba, Kirigakure is now occupied by the resurrected Uchiha Madara. The informant inside Kirigakure also confirmed this information.

No matter how confident she was, Mei Terumi knew what kind of person Uchiha Madara was. How could she possibly defeat such a person?

The most important thing is that Uchiha Madara is a traitor to Konoha. And now, he is living under the roof of Konoha. The whole position is weird and awkward.

When accepting the mission from Kamikawa Aoba to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Mei Terumi realized that she was running out of time.

Konoha has begun to take action against the daimyo, which means they are about to begin an unprecedented round of expansion.

Mei Terumi now has a huge worry in her heart. That is, will there be a day when she successfully returns to Kirigakure, but Kirigakure no longer exists.

Even though Konoha's current opponent is the former Uchiha Madara, for some reason, she always feels that Uchiha Madara may not be able to defeat Kamikawa Aoba.

Mei Terumi is a traditional ninja. She is ambitious and capable. If Kamikawa Aoba hadn't intervened, she would have definitely left her own name in the ninja world.

But now, times have changed, and she can't find her place in the world.

In the woods outside Konoha, Mei Terumi was running fast alone, heading towards Kirigakure.

That's right, she was going back, and alone.

This is a helpless decision. But compared to Mei Ming, it is more cruel.

She couldn't let her subordinates give up their current lives and die with her, but she couldn't stand by and watch the village fall.

There was no perfect solution to this problem. So, she made this decision.

She was going to do what a Kirigakure ninja should do, and the rest would have nothing to do with her.

In the darkness, she felt someone chasing her from behind.

Anyone who could keep up with her must be no ordinary person. Mei Terumi's high-speed moving figure stopped on a big tree and looked back at the pursuer behind her.

It's him......

The person who was chasing was naturally Aoba. Although those people from Kirigakure seemed to be free, their every move was under Aoba's surveillance.

The departure of Mei Terumi could be hidden from the Anbu, but it was impossible to hide it from him.

"It's so late, it should be far enough for a walk."

Aoba spoke from a distance, while Mei Terumi looked at him without saying a word.

She had mixed feelings towards Kamikawa Aoba. When she first heard the name, she thought he was another genius ninja like White Fang.

But she soon realized that something was wrong, because the other party was fundamentally different from White Fang.

The most obvious point is that not long after becoming a jonin, Kamikawa Aoba became the Hokage's consultant and part-time Hokage's assistant, becoming the real power in Konoha.

Look at White Fang, he was famous on the battlefield, but when he returned to the village, he was just an ordinary jonin, unable to fight back against any rumors.

For a ninja, all this is the pinnacle of life, but for Kamikawa Aoba, everything is just beginning.

I used AI to modify this picture, but it turned out to be extremely ugly after the modification. So I just used the original picture directly.
