Chapter 1012: Unexpected Guard

Inside the sixth floor of the high tower.

"Things are basically decided this way. Compared to Danzo, I trust the Tsuchikage more."

Gaara's expression was calm, not hiding his distrust of Danzo at all.

"Same view."

Terumi Mei also spoke up. Danzo's reputation was truly too bad.

"This..."

Tsuchikage Onoki of the Two Scales was a bit hesitant. Their four ninja villages had already formed an alliance, including Danzo, but he didn't really want to hold the position of leader of this alliance.

"I also support the Tsuchikage in holding this position."

Danzo suddenly spoke up. Others were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think in their hearts: what conspiracy does this guy have again?

"Alright."

The Tsuchikage sighed and looked at Deidara. From the current situation, holding the position of leader of the four-ninja-village alliance was definitely not a good thing, but there was really no other candidate. If the Raikage hadn't died, the Raikage would be the most suitable.

"We must report the matters during the Five Kage Summit to the various Daimyo as soon as possible. We will discuss the subsequent matters in detail after the ninja village alliance is formed. Moreover, the Hidden Cloud Village side also needs to be negotiated with; they need to elect a Kage as soon as possible."

This could be considered the Tsuchikage's first order, and this order wouldn't produce any disagreement.

The Five Kage Summit dispersed at this point. The four Kage left the high tower quickly with their respective guards, at an extremely fast speed.

Terumi Mei walked on the snow, looking a bit worried. The Hidden Mist Village hadn't stabilized yet, and now this kind of thing had happened in the ninja world.

There were two people behind Terumi Mei: a youth with a bandaged face and a man wearing a mask.

"How is it? That decision back then didn't make you regret it, right?"

Terumi Mei turned her head to look at the masked man behind her.

"Mm, I was too foolishly loyal to the Fourth Mizukage. Putting aside personal concepts, after you took the position of Mizukage, the village indeed stabilized. Although it hasn't reached affluence, at least no one will go hungry."

The masked man's voice was low.

"That person will definitely come. You used him back then; with his temper, he won't let it go easily."

Although the masked man was Terumi Mei's guard, his attitude toward Terumi Mei didn't seem very intimate.

"Isn't there you?"

Terumi Mei's lips curled up, smiling a bit charmingly. The masked man didn't make a sound. Beside him, the youth with a bandaged face blushed. His name was Chojuro, the only surviving ninja of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the user of the twin swords 'Hiramekarei'.

Just as Terumi Mei and the two were speeding on the snow, a raven flew silently overhead.

Soon, Terumi Mei and the two entered a forest. The trees in the forest weren't dense, and white snow hung on the crowns of every tree.

"Lord Mizukage."

The masked man suddenly spoke up.

"I know."

Terumi Mei signaled the masked man not to continue speaking.

Caw, caw, caw...

The raven in the sky dived down and landed on a tree fork in front of Terumi Mei's party.

"He's here!"

The masked man immediately blocked in front of Terumi Mei, his gaze fixed on the front.

Boom, boom, boom...

The ground began to shake. With a crack, the trees in the distance were knocked down.

Boom!

Wood chips flew, snow flew horizontally. A minotaur nearly three meters tall, with two horns on its head and muscles knotted all over its body, rushed toward Terumi Mei and the two. It was Amu, the unstoppable Amu.

Amu stared with two red eyes, as if it had been injected with stimulants, and two streams of white air sprayed from its nostrils.

"Chojuro!"

The masked man roared.

"Yes... yes!"

The youth Chojuro seemed a bit nervous. This was a youth lacking self-confidence. He held the hilt of the ninja sword 'Hiramekarei' with both hands.

"Hiramekarei, release!"

Although the 'Hiramekarei' in Chojuro's hand was two swords, these two swords were connected. After the bandages on the surface were unwrapped, the ninja sword Hiramekarei was no longer considered a sword, but a battle hammer with a peculiar shape.

Chojuro held the two hilts of 'Hiramekarei' and rushed toward Amu.

Amu, in the middle of charging, didn't stop at all. It lowered its head, aiming its bull horns at Chojuro.

The two sides approached quickly. Chojuro leaped up, and the 'Hiramekarei' in his hand hammered toward Amu.

Boom!

A loud noise resounded through the forest, and the snow on a large area of trees was shaken off.

At the point of impact between Amu and Chojuro, a large area of snow surged toward all directions like a tide, forming a large area of snow mist. Terumi Mei and the masked man nearby both blocked their arms in front of them, staring fixedly at the situation inside the snow mist.

Whoosh~

A figure flew out from the snow mist. It was Amu; it had lost to Chojuro in terms of strength.

Amu rolled a few times on the ground, shook its dizzy head, and stood up. It could truly be called thick-skinned.

Inside the snow mist, Chojuro, holding 'Hiramekarei', stood in place, his legs deeply submerged in the snow. Although he had repelled Amu, the two arms holding the sword were shaking.

"Lava Release: Melting Monster Jutsu."

Terumi Mei formed a triangular seal with both hands, tilted her head slightly back, and then sprayed a stream of lava from her mouth.

A large area of fire-red lava surged toward Amu.

"Roar!!"

Amu roared, clenched its fists, and lowered its head to continue rushing forward, hard-topping the lava. Amu was Ice-type, not too afraid of Fire-type attacks, so it dared to hard-top the lava.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~

The lava scorched Amu's skin and flesh, but Amu stared with those bull eyes, topping the lava and continuing to rush forward, a heavy burnt smell spreading.

Seeing the scene before her, Terumi Mei, who was spraying lava from her mouth, had her pupils shrink violently. She was performing a jutsu and couldn't move at all.

Just when everyone thought Amu would rush in front of Terumi Mei or be burned into ashes by the lava, Amu actually used its hands, which had already been burned to the bone, to scoop up a ball of lava and threw it toward Chojuro with all its might.

The lava hadn't hit Chojuro yet, when Terumi Mei suddenly interrupted the ninjutsu and lunged toward the side with all her might.

Whoosh~

A piercing sound of breaking through the air arrived.

With a crack, a bullet sank into the snow, and the snow within three meters around exploded.

Whoosh~

Another bullet. This bullet locked onto Terumi Mei, who was lunging, the target pointing directly at her head.

"Lava Release..."

Terumi Mei, in mid-air, was just about to use ninjutsu to defend, when the masked man had already blocked in front of her at some unknown time.

With a crack, liquid splashed, and the bullet hit the masked man.

These liquids weren't blood, but water, water containing chakra, water with resistance magnified hundreds of times.

The bullet rubbed against the water containing chakra, and the speed slowed down significantly. Terumi Mei took the opportunity to turn her head and dodge this bullet.

The upper body of the masked man was shattered, water stains surged on the surrounding snow, gradually gathering toward the masked man. Soon, the masked man recovered to his original appearance.

"Hiramekarei!"

A loud shout came. It was Chojuro. He was fighting Amu. At this moment, black smoke was still rising from Chojuro's arms and face; he was clearly burned by the lava.

The ninja sword hammer in Chojuro's hand smashed toward Amu. If it were anyone else, they would definitely dodge, but Amu spread its arms and hugged the ninja sword hammer directly.

Boom!

White snow surged at Amu's ankles. After Amu, hugging the ninja sword hammer, retreated a distance, it successfully blocked Chojuro's heavy blow. Amu, whose cheeks were severely burned by lava, revealed a smile, matching its already exposed facial bones and teeth, as well as those blood-red eyes, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

Chojuro's eye twitched, and he immediately thought that this thing was definitely not a summoning beast. If it were a summoning beast, it would have returned to the summoning world after receiving this level of injury. Very few summoning beasts were loyal to ninjas.

Chojuro looked at Mizukage Terumi Mei. He made a decision in his heart: he must never let this terrifying thing approach the Mizukage. Therefore, he made a decisive decision and used the ninja sword hammer in his hand to push Amu toward the distance.

Amu didn't resist. Its feet plowed on the snow, letting Chojuro push it far away. This was the order Su Xiao gave it: drag Chojuro down.

Soon, Chojuro pushed Amu very far away, leaving two trenches and a large area of messy footprints on the snow.

The bullets no longer attacked Terumi Mei. Terumi Mei's breathing was slightly rapid. This wasn't because she was out of stamina, but because the enemy's attack was too fierce and sudden.

Whoosh~

A figure holding a long sword traveled through the forest. Soon, the figure arrived near Terumi Mei, about ten meters away.

Before Terumi Mei could speak, the masked man had already stepped forward and took off the mask worn by the Hidden Mist Anbu on his face.

"Long time no see, Bai Ye."

The masked man smiled when he spoke, revealing two rows of sharp shark teeth.

Seeing the masked man's appearance, Su Xiao was stunned, then thought of something.

"Didn't expect you would actually be loyal to Terumi Mei. Is it because she once spared your life?"

Su Xiao recognized who this masked man was. The two could barely be considered acquaintances.

"Can only say that things in the world are unpredictable. Now it's clearly not the time to reminisce. Want to kill Terumi Mei? First, you have to pass me. She is a decent Mizukage."

The masked man threw down the mask in his hand. The cold wind blew, and his short white hair fluttered with the wind.
