Chapter 514

Walking in the Hidden Mist Village at night, although it was only around ten o'clock, it was already silent here; it seemed the Hidden Mist Village had no nightlife, after all, it was very poor here.

Swoosh~

A black shadow suddenly appeared in front of Su Xiao; the way ninjas appeared was always so elusive.

"Follow me."

The black shadow disappeared from the spot with a Body Flicker.

Su Xiao looked around; there were at least a dozen ninjas monitoring the surroundings, and the weakest of these ninjas were Chunin, with mostly Jonin.

Su Xiao walked in the direction where the black shadow disappeared; according to the black shadow's guidance, Su Xiao arrived in front of an oval building.

There was a "Water" character on the building; this should be the place where the Mizukage worked.

Those ninjas around moved as Su Xiao moved; no need to think, someone wanted him to enter the Mizukage office building.

Although Su Xiao seemed to have regained his freedom, wanting to leave the Hidden Mist Village was completely living in a dream; there were too many ninjas here.

Just as he walked into the Mizukage office building, a young man blocked the way in front.

"Follow me."

The person speaking was named Chojuro, a young man wearing glasses and carrying a strange double-handled weapon on his back.

Hiramekarei: one of the Seven Ninja Swords, double-handled, fish-shaped sword.

Although the young Chojuro was usually nervous, he was calm now; although he was still somewhat unconfident, he was facing the villain who assassinated the Fourth Mizukage, and he was Mei Terumi's guard, so he must protect Mei Terumi's safety.

Chojuro walked up the stairs, heading to the upper floors of the Mizukage building, with Su Xiao following behind.

After walking for a while, Chojuro stopped in front of the Mizukage office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Mei Terumi's voice came from inside the office; she was now only missing the name of Mizukage, but she already had the power of Mizukage at the right time. As long as the war faction existed for one day, she could not become the Mizukage recognized by everyone.

Pushing open the door, the room was bright, and Mei Terumi was sitting behind an office desk, on which were files piled up like a mountain.

Su Xiao walked into the office, and Mei Terumi looked up and actually smiled at Su Xiao.

"It seems you understand my meaning."

"Hmm, tell me your requirements."

"Good."

Mei Terumi got straight to the point and picked up a file next to her hand.

"Help me kill these few people, as for the reward... I won't pursue your assassination of the Fourth."

Su Xiao didn't look at the file but started to scrutinize Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi didn't care about Su Xiao at first, but after a minute, Mei Terumi, who was holding a pen to review files, frowned.

A few minutes later, the pen in Mei Terumi's hand was gripped until it creaked.

"Staring at a lady's chest like this is very ungentlemanly, what a terrible man."

"Don't misunderstand, I'm just guessing the color of your heart, it should be very black, right."

Mei Terumi looked up and looked at Su Xiao coldly.

"You can choose to refuse, in that case, you will be sent back to prison until you die in prison."

Su Xiao picked up the file on the desk and looked through it; the file contained the information and photos of a few people, these were a few Jonin, no need to think, these must be the leader-level figures of the war faction.

"Still the same words, I do things for you, you pay me the reward, and when you don't need me, I will disappear automatically."

He could not accept Mei Terumi's previous proposal; that "not pursuing the assassination of the Fourth" was completely wanting to kill the donkey after the millstone was used.

"You can't escape from the Hidden Mist Village."

A pen flipped in Mei Terumi's hand; she stopped reviewing the files, seemingly considering Su Xiao's words.

"I know, but I don't want to die yet, so doing things for the future Mizukage is the best choice."

"Oh? You want to become my subordinate?"

Mei Terumi looked at Su Xiao with some interest.

"That's impossible, I assassinated the Fourth Mizukage, there's no way I can appear in the open."

"Good that you know."

Mei Terumi continued to review the files: "What do you want."

"Money, secret techniques, chakra-conducting metal, high-quality ninja swords, these are all fine."

Su Xiao sat in front of the office desk; he knew that Mei Terumi wanted him to help eliminate dissidents, and what Qing and Chojuro couldn't do, he could do.

For example, if Mei Terumi asked Chojuro to kill a Hidden Mist ninja, even if Chojuro agreed and did it, killing a nominal companion would make Chojuro feel resentful, and problems would arise sooner or later.

Su Xiao was different; Mei Terumi only needed to pay the benefits.

Su Xiao's goal was very clear, and that was to leave the Hidden Mist Village, the reason being that it was too poor here, and there were no Tailed Beasts; his ultimate goal was Tailed Beasts, nothing else.

"Secret techniques? Chakra-conducting metal? High-quality ninja swords? You are really asking for the moon."

"Money is also fine."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Mei Terumi's beautiful eyebrows frowned; the Hidden Mist Village was very poor, and money was not enough for military needs, so where would there be money to give to Su Xiao.

"Money is also impossible."

"Then high-level ninjutsu."

"Also... not very possible."

Speaking of this, Mei Terumi was somewhat embarrassed; the fact was just like this, the high-level ninjutsu of every ninja village were treasures and could not be passed on.

"Want me to help you kill people for free?"

"Hmm."

Mei Terumi answered exceptionally crisply.

"Help me do three things, and afterwards I'll let you leave the Hidden Mist Village safely, how about it?"

This was the proposal Mei Terumi gave, a very "fair" and dangerous proposal.

"Rest assured, I am very trustworthy, my subordinates are here, they won't follow a leader who doesn't keep their word."

Chojuro had been standing by Su Xiao's side, this was to prevent Su Xiao from suddenly exploding; as long as he blocked Su Xiao for a moment, Mei Terumi could solve Su Xiao.

"Three things..."

Su Xiao pondered for a moment.

"Two things."

"Three things, this is the minimum."

"Can do."

Su Xiao agreed, and Mei Terumi laughed.

Su Xiao secretly made a decision in his heart to agree for now; he couldn't stay in the cell all the time, and before doing the three things, he would find a way to leave the Hidden Mist Village. Mei Terumi would definitely kill him to silence him, definitely, the other party was a future Kage, and a Kage had to consider the safety of the ninja village and would not be swayed by personal emotions of good and evil.

The trustworthiness in Mei Terumi's mouth was only valid for her subordinates, and Su Xiao was not her subordinate.

"There is a residential house next to the prison, you will live there, you cannot go out during the day, I will send people to deliver daily necessities, and you can only act at night, and only under the condition of executing tasks."

The deal was reached; on the surface, Su Xiao helped Mei Terumi do three things, and she let him leave the Hidden Mist Village, which was already under martial law, but in reality, Su Xiao was always being monitored, and after doing the three things, it would be his death date.

Mei Terumi would not believe the words of a "killer," nor would she trust this killer; being able to become Mizukage, she was certainly not a simple woman.

Ruthless, strong, rational, this was Mei Terumi facing enemies.

Mature, dignified, gentle, friendly, occasionally having a small temper, this was Mei Terumi facing subordinates.

It was very clear that Su Xiao belonged to Mei Terumi's enemies; just the assassination of the Fourth Mizukage alone destined that he could not continue to develop in the Hidden Mist Village, and if it weren't for the chaotic situation, Mei Terumi would not have let Su Xiao leave the dungeon.

Su Xiao got up to leave, but Mei Terumi suddenly spoke.

"You just wanted to assassinate me, right."

"How could that be, you're overthinking it, Fifth Mizukage."

Su Xiao walked out of the Mizukage office, and just as he left, Qing walked out of a room to the side.

"Watch him, if there is any suspicious behavior..."

Mei Terumi didn't continue, but Qing already understood.

"Yes."

Qing disappeared with a Body Flicker; that transplanted Byakugan of his was very suitable for monitoring.
