Chapter 248 The Water Shadow is Coming

Back in the Hokage's lounge, it was already late at night.

"I thought you two wouldn't be coming back." Danzo sat calmly at the tea table, drinking his exquisite bedtime tea.

He was not worried about the two children at all, even though they had just had a fight with the aggressive Raikage before sunset.

Secretly, Luo Yi's reputation of fighting wherever he went had already spread far and wide, and the causes of the fights were often so far-fetched that they were unbearable to watch.

"Hehe... Thank you, Acting Hokage, for your concern." It seems that he is unharmed and can even talk with a shameless face.

"Don't make a big deal out of it, otherwise even if I don't pursue the matter, Hiruzen will lose face." People who didn't know would think that Danzo was really a tolerant and sensible elder when they heard this.

"Next time, definitely next time." Luo Yi chewed his tongue.

With such a big commotion, it’s hard to pretend nothing happened.

Seeing that he had no intention of explaining, Danzo took the initiative to ask out of curiosity, "Can you tell me, how did you get into a conflict with the Raikage?"

It was normal for that grumpy old man to fight with anyone, but Luo Yi in front of him seemed to never fight without benefit.

"Well... Isn't it because of the previous Akatsuki duo that Hanabi and I broke into the territory of Kumogakure in order to capture someone?" This is no secret among the village's top brass.

"Hmph... It makes me angry when I talk about this. I told Hiruzen twice that the research on the zombie duo could be handed over to the Root, but I was rejected both times. Now, Konoha Village is destroyed, and the two of them have not been found yet." Danzo really expressed his feelings this time.

The Root's base was high up behind the Hokage Rock and was not affected too much by the "Tree World Advent"; on the contrary, the research institute and laboratory in the center of the village were severely damaged, and Kakuzu and Hidan were both missing in the chaos.

It is very likely that it was recovered by White Zetsu who was lurking in the dark.

"We can't influence Mr. Hiruzen's considerations." Luo Yi bent his eyebrows and made a helpless expression.

The secret of the secret technique "Earth Grudge" and the evil god's immortality is coveted by everyone with a little ambition in the ninja world. If it were handed over to a top-notch ambitious person like Danzo, the consequences would be disastrous.

They are of similar age, but Hiruzen already has white hair, while Danzo still has black hair above his bandages. Who would believe him if he said he didn't desire immortality?

"It's too late to say more. Kumogakure has lost two important experimental materials. It's normal for Raikage to be angry with you... He didn't punish you or ask for any compensation, did he?"

"No, we just had a simple quarrel."

"Having a fight" refers to the creation of the suburban ice and fire world.

Based on Danzo's understanding of Ai, although the Fourth Raikage has a rough style, he acts uprightly and is definitely not the type who would blackmail others under any pretext.

This is in stark contrast to his father, the Third Raikage, who was obsessed with coming to Konoha to steal girls (Kushina and Hinata).

Even Danzo, a pervert, thinks that the Third Raikage is too perverted.

"Ahem... Let's not talk about Raikage-sama. Is Kazekage-sama okay?" The topic changed to something he was also extremely interested in, the "resurrected" Gaara.

"He's recovering well, although the insomnia problem that has plagued him for years doesn't seem to have been reversed." Luo Yi looked worried about his friend's health.

Danzo raised his eyebrows. Is this what he wanted to ask? "I mean, as the Kazekage, with his current strength, can he still be qualified for the position of Kage?"

"It is undeniable that Gaara is not as strong as before after losing his One-Tail, but I think the status of Kage does not depend on strength, but on the recognition of the village and the people." Luo Yi smiled innocently.

Hearing the hidden meaning, Danzo narrowed his eyes and endured it.

He knew that after Tsunade fell into a coma, the village's call for the Third Hokage to return was far greater than the call for him to act as Hokage. Hiruzen's current strength might not be as good as that of a jonin, but he still had so many supporters.

If Hiruzen had not announced to all the villagers that he was nominated, this "agent" would probably not have been recognized.

Since the conversation was not going well, he changed the subject again, "On the day of the meeting, will Sasuke, the orphan of the Uchiha clan, really come?"

"I think so," Luo Yi didn't dare to say it with certainty, "He learned the truth about the genocide from "Ban", and his hatred for the acting Excellency is not so easy to eliminate."

However, the first thing Danzo did after taking over the position of Hokage was to order the hunt down and killing of the traitor Sasuke, which seemed to be an irreconcilable act between them.

This indirectly proves that Itachi faked his death and hid it very well. If Danzo suspected that Itachi was still alive, he would not have broken the agreement with Itachi so quickly.

"If Sasuke really attacks me, I might kill him on the spot." The slightly opened eyes contained real murderous intent, "You won't stop me, even for Orochimaru's "legacy"? "

"Of course not." Luo Yi gave a fake smile and didn't finish saying "I won't stop him from killing you."

"It'd better not." Danzo naturally couldn't hear the other party's thoughts.

Having said that, he still made preparations, such as the risk of Luo Yi ambushing him when he was executing Sasuke.

"That's it. You should be able to rest for another day tomorrow. The Tsuchikage and Mizukage will also arrive. You shouldn't have any more conflicts with them, right?"

"Uh…"

The Mizukage can’t do it, as for the Tsuchikage, it’s hard to say.

...

Luo Yi felt that he had somewhat of the Flag physique that was native to the ninja world.

The next day, when he met the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, he realized that sooner or later he would have to pay for his wrongdoings.

"Luo Yi, right? I've heard of you for a long time." The "older" sister approached me without any sense of distance, even bending down her 174cm tall figure slightly, revealing her exaggerated tube top dress.

Hua Huo's alarm bells immediately rang, and she pulled her young fiancé behind her, while at the same time sticking out her slightly exposed chest and confronting him.

"Um, may I ask, Lord Mizukage, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lao Luo's eyes hurt because of the milky white snow, and he stepped back.

"Nothing, I just came to meet who is the person who did such a big thing to our Water Country three years ago." Mei Terumi has an outstanding appearance and an equally charming voice.

Hua Huo turned back abruptly, and the veins at the corners of her eyes seemed to be bulging.

Three years ago? What did Luo Yi do three years ago that made such a beautiful and "great" sister miss him?

I've been thinking about it for three years!

It was unfair to Lao Luo. He had never set foot in the Water Kingdom since he traveled through time. What unforgettable incident could be blamed on him?

"Cat, that's right, it must be that guy who did it!" In short, try to pass the blame on to others first, he must be innocent anyway.

Pianyi has been to the Land of Water. Maybe it was the one who did evil things to the Mizukage-sama...hiss...

"Cat? What cat? Oh, you mean the mascot of the shipping company? We can indeed see Boss Bai and Principal Tao carrying it occasionally." Mei Terumi suddenly realized and went on to explain the answer.

The two personal pronouns "Boss Bai" and "Principal Tao" are particularly stressed.

Oh yeah! I almost forgot that Haku and Zabuza are both from Kirigakure, and they are not ordinary Kirigakure ninjas: one is a former member of the Pursuit Force, and the other is a former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. How could Kirigakure leave them alone?

“What the shipping company said seems to have nothing to do with me…” Luo Yi was still fighting stubbornly, making every possible excuse.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to hold you accountable. On the contrary, I'm here to express my gratitude to you." Mei Terumi smiled and stood up with one hand on her waist.

When she heard that he was not here to hold her accountable, Huahuo felt relieved; but when she heard that he was here to express his gratitude, she became worried again.

I hope it's a serious thank you.

"I didn't do anything, really." In the past three years, Luo Yi almost let the shipping company and welfare school of Wave Country operate independently.

Mei Terumi's guards, Chojuro and Ao, looked at each other with puzzled eyes. Is this the "good man" that the Mizukage wanted to see the most before leaving?

It’s hard to tell whether it’s good or not, but at least he is under the strict control of this little girl with the white eyes, there is no doubt about that.

"Really? After I succeeded as Mizukage, the master elder told me everything." Mei Terumi looked smug, as if to say, "You can't fool me."

Two days ago, when Mei Terumi set out from the Hidden Mist Village to attend the meeting, she took over the bamboo hat representing her identity as the Mizukage from the elders for the first time. At the same time, she also learned that the actual controller of the shipping company they had been cooperating with for a long time was actually the former rebel ninja Haku and Zabuza, and behind them, there was a mysterious young man.

Mysterious, intelligent, and powerful, these labels attached to him completely changed the main purpose of Mei Terumi's trip.
