#160 - Mei Terumi left a psychological shadow

Kiyoshi and Raiga Kurosuki's figures constantly darted through the forest. Before long, the surrounding trees had all turned charred black.

Either burned by Fire Release or struck by Lightning Release.

“How can he have so much chakra?”

Raiga Kurosuki frowned deeply.

Kiyoshi would release a ninjutsu every so often. It was unknown whether it was due to his massive chakra reserves or his fast chakra recovery rate.

But regardless, this all indicated that Kiyoshi would be incredibly troublesome.

“Mei…”

Raiga Kurosuki wanted to have Mei Terumi come over to help, but before he could finish speaking, Kiyoshi's flame slash came head-on.

“You rely too much on external objects.”

Without this ninja tool, his strength would be greatly reduced.

Kiyoshi looked at Mei Terumi, who was constantly observing the situation, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved upward, a hint of crimson flashing in his eyes.

Then, he continued to fight Raiga Kurosuki, and after catching a trace of carelessness, Kiyoshi spoke:

“This sword is an advantage, but also your weakness.”

Kiyoshi swung his ninja sword, seizing the opportunity to jam the Lightning Blade Kiba.

If it were ordinary dual swords, Kiyoshi would not have been able to do this so easily.

But the Lightning Blade Kiba had a strange shape, with two inverted hook-shaped blades on it, which were just right for jamming.

Then, Kiyoshi tossed the dual swords away, as Raiga Kurosuki wanted to jump up and catch the dual swords.

Below, Kiyoshi's palm, along with his wrist and arm, were crackling with electricity. The pale blue lightning illuminated Kiyoshi like a Thunder God.

Lightning Release: Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chidori Dance!

This move belonged to the category of nin-taijutsu.

The official book's evaluation was, “Through bone-shattering training, a family heirloom hand blade as sharp as a flash of light is honed!”

That is to say, the stronger one's own body, the stronger the bonus of this move.

Even Kiyoshi himself didn't know the extent of his body's strength. He only knew that Might Guy and Might Duy, in terms of physical defense alone, might not be as good as him.

He didn't even open the Gate, breaking the human body's limit on chakra movement, but only called upon Lightning Release chakra!

“What!”

Raiga Kurosuki smelled a dangerous aura.

But Kiyoshi was too fast.

So fast that his brain reacted, but his body didn't.

Puchi!

The sharp hand blade, at that moment, was like a sword forged from lightning.

Like a hot knife cutting butter, it split Raiga Kurosuki in half from bottom to top.

The blood in his body scattered in the air like fireworks, drizzling and pattering on the charred earth.

Looking at Kiyoshi's figure bathing in the blood rain, Mei Terumi didn't dare to step forward for a moment.

This was a momentum.

The ninja world had a saying about momentum. Hashirama Senju merely moved a finger, and Orochimaru, Sasuke, and others broke out in cold sweats.

Now, Mei Terumi facing Kiyoshi was like this.

She only felt her lips dry and cracked, wanting to say something but unable to.

“Uchiha brat, how dare you kill Raiga Kurosuki.”

Kushimaru Kuriarare rushed over.

Mei Terumi woke up from her dream, tremblingly moving a step.

But the speed just couldn't increase.

Kiyoshi and Kushimaru Kuriarare exchanged subtle glances. The two were fighting, seemingly aiming for each other's lives with every move, but always holding back a few tricks.

After exchanging a few moves, Kiyoshi retreated.

Kushimaru Kuriarare picked up the Lightning Blade Kiba that had been tossed on the ground, hugged it in her arms, and turned to pull Mei Terumi away to run.

Mei Terumi lowered her eyes. Only now did she not know where the courage under her feet came from, running wildly all the way.

“I…am I afraid?”

Mei Terumi shed tears.

Her body would have such a reaction?

“It seems the shadow planted in Mei Terumi's heart is a bit deep.”

Kiyoshi looked at Mei Terumi's embarrassed fleeing figure.

This was very normal.

After all, Mei Terumi was not yet the mature and intellectual older sister of the future.

“I hope you don't disappoint me…Mei Terumi.”

Kiyoshi said softly.

Wouldn't it be very cowardly to be unable to withstand the stimulation and become depressed?

Flowers can only show their most beautiful posture after experiencing wind and rain.

The next time they meet, Kiyoshi hoped that Mei Terumi would no longer be such a coward.

After she had the prototype of the future, Kiyoshi would pick the fruit!

“Let's go, my experimental subject number 1.”

The blood on the ground was a little less. Raiga Kurosuki, who was split in half, had only his hands cut off, his eyes empty.

He had just used Sharingan to plant a genjutsu on Mei Terumi.

In fact, Raiga Kurosuki was not dead at all.

Of course, this was not much different from the edge of death.

After Kiyoshi used medical ninjutsu to stop the bleeding for him, he walked in a certain direction.

Studying the power of the Moriyo was impossible in the Uchiha stronghold, as it would be discovered immediately.

This required finding a hidden location to conduct research.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

And this location, he had already found it, and Kushimaru Kuriarare also knew about it.

…

“Relax, kid, you are already very strong, it's just that there is a guy who is more like a ghost than a ghost.”

Running all the way back to the front of Kirigakure's camp, Kushimaru Kuriarare comforted Mei Terumi.

At this moment, she was in a good mood, so she comforted Mei Terumi a few words.

“…Okay.”

Mei Terumi wiped away her tears and nodded.

The complexion on her face was not very good.

It wasn't until a long time later that she finally recovered.

The first time she saw Kiyoshi, Mei Terumi felt that he was a strange Uchiha.

The second time Kiyoshi killed a cherished companion in front of her, which left Mei Terumi with a feeling of powerlessness.

The third time, the Chunin Exams were once again easily manipulated by Kiyoshi, and she even revealed such a humiliating posture.

Now, it once again proved that her distance from Kiyoshi was getting farther and farther.

So far that she had been staying in the same place all the time.

“…How could I fall here.”

Mei Terumi took a deep breath. In the end, her obsession took the upper hand.

She wanted to change Kirigakure's policies and end the era of the Bloody Mist Village, where everyone schemed against each other and it was bloody and dark.

For this, she needed to become Mizukage.

Now Mei Terumi had one more goal, which was to seek revenge on Uchiha Kiyoshi!

“Let's go.”

Mei Terumi took the lead and walked out.

Kushimaru Kuriarare looked at Mei Terumi strangely.

She had always been curious about what Uchiha Kiyoshi had done to Mei Terumi.

“Cough cough.”

Kushimaru Kuriarare coughed twice, and there was a pool of blood in her palm.

“It's time to go find the Uchiha brat.”

Kushimaru Kuriarare thought to herself.

She had the Lightning Blade Kiba, and after returning, she could claim to be one of the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

But the illness on her body still needed to be resolved.

Ten minutes later.

“Is that all?”

An old man with a beard and a serious face asked.

“Yes.”

Mei Terumi explained the trip.

Including her suspicion of Kushimaru Kuriarare defecting from the village.

Kirigakure could have internal strife, but recruiting outsiders was a bit too much.

It was too bad and would be charged with treason.

“Go down first, I have my own judgment.”

Mei Terumi nodded and exited a temporary wooden house.

After Mei Terumi went out, the old man's eyes rolled around.
