"How can you help?" Mei Terumī looked up at him, exhaling as if resigned, and asked.
"The simplest way is to find a suitable jinchuriki for you," Sasame said, unconsciously tapping the desk with his finger. "I have a few good ninjas on my side." The Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan could both be jinchuriki. Let's not talk about the latter for now. But the former's remaining few clan members were all under his command. For example, Uzumaki Ena, Karin, and Honoka Uzumaki.
"No," Mei Terumī frowned. "The jinchuriki must be a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village." If Konoha Village were to provide a ninja, then which ninja village would that jinchuriki truly belong to? Even if she could trust Sasame, the other high-ranking officials of the Hidden Mist Village would absolutely never agree to such an absurd thing.
"Alright, I figured as much," Sasame spread his hands. He didn't really care about the jinchuriki; he just wanted to gain some Destiny Value. Since Mei Terumī refused, he would just find another Hidden Mist Village ninja.
"Then why did you even suggest it?" Mei Terumī glared at him, a little helpless. Her beautiful face became even more resentful.
"Ahem, because you look quite beautiful like that," Sasame tilted his head, his tone slightly teasing.
"Can you please be serious?" Mei Terumī asked through gritted teeth, her red lips even losing some color from being bitten, looking quite... alluring.
"Serious business, serious business," Sasame quickly smiled. "A jinchuriki's physical constitution being a bit lacking isn't a big problem, as long as the sealing jutsu is firm enough." Mei Terumī's expression softened. This was indeed a good method. Since the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, Konoha Village naturally possessed the best sealing jutsus.
"I think Zabuza Momochi could do it," Sasame said offhand. "His body looks quite robust at a glance, at least more muscular than Ao's or Haku's."
"And I can't?" Mei Terumī raised an eyebrow.
"You have a good figure, but your physical constitution doesn't seem quite up to it," Sasame said seriously, looking her up and down. Mei Terumī couldn't help but stomp her foot. Although she was happy that he praised her figure, she didn't like the latter half of his sentence.
"Hmph, based purely on a feeling, how would you know?"
"Alright, then, how about we spar sometime?" Sasame blurted out, following her lead.
"..." Mei Terumī was stunned, then her face flushed slightly. "Pervert!"
Sasame was a little confused by her sudden two words, but quickly understood. This isn't the train to Konoha! He hadn't expected that in just a few years, Mei Terumī had upgraded from a naive girl to a young woman. Ahem, well, she wasn't exactly a young woman. She wasn't married yet, after all.
"I meant a sparring match," Sasame reached out and pinched her cheek.
"I... I meant that too," Mei Terumī instinctively tried to swat his hand away, but then recoiled. She turned her head slightly, her voice sounding quite guilty.
"Your face is so red." Sasame cupped her face. Mei Terumī had nowhere to escape. Her eyes were open, looking at him. Her face showed undisguised panic and a hint of shyness. But facing Sasame's teasing gaze, she still stubbornly said, "I... I'm just a little warm, I'm not... not blushing." Her voice even trembled as she spoke. From this, one could tell the Mizukage's true feelings.
Sasame leaned down and bit her lower lip. "Your lips aren't so tough either." Mei Terumī only realized what he was saying a few seconds later. She immediately turned red with anger and pushed him with both hands. Sasame was immediately forced to jump off the Mizukage's office desk. Mei Terumī stood up, her ears burning hot. Her face was flushed, and she said angrily, "You can leave! I don't want to see you today!"
"You mean you want to see me tomorrow?" Sasame showed a look that said, "I understand."
"No!" Mei Terumī clenched her fists. "I didn't mean that!"
"Alright then," Sasame sighed. "If Lady Mizukage doesn't want to see me, then I'll leave." Whoosh! He vanished.
Mei Terumī's heart tightened, and she wanted to speak but held back. A moment later, she bit her lip in regret. However, she quickly remembered that Sasame had just kissed her right there. She couldn't help but cover her face. Various complex emotions surged within her.
"Lady Mizukage, are you savoring the moment?" A sudden voice made Mei Terumī freeze. Her face immediately turned red like a steam princess.
"I'm not a pervert! Savoring what?!" Mei Terumī pretended to be furious to hide her excessive shyness.
"Is the lipstick orange-flavored?" Sasame licked his lips and asked.
"Go die!" Mei Terumī was almost insane, glaring at him, her face full of murderous intent.
"If I die, then I won't be able to help you," Sasame shrugged. "When do you plan to replace the jinchuriki?" Mei Terumī helplessly pressed her hand to her forehead. She wanted to be angry but couldn't. She felt completely cornered. She took a deep breath. "In a while, after the Fourth Mizukage passes away," she said.
Under normal circumstances, extracting a Tailed Beast would lead to the jinchuriki's death. Replacing them beforehand would undoubtedly be murder. Although Yagura had made mistakes, he was, after all, controlled. If Mei Terumī were truly that ruthless, she wouldn't have waited until now.
"Hmm," Sasame nodded. "Here, take this."
"What is it?" Mei Terumī was startled, looking at the bracelet he offered. Could it be a gift?
"You can use it to contact me," Sasame took her wrist, put the bracelet on her, and held her hand. Mei Terumī's body stiffened. Just as she was considering whether to break free, a surge of chakra flowed into her body, fully informing her of the Heavenly Net Login Device's functions. Mei Terumī was slightly stunned. This thing seemed quite convenient.
"It has many functions. If you're bored, you can try it," Sasame smiled and released her hand. The Heavenly Net, as long as Kaguya Ōtsutsuki didn't harbor ill intentions, was actually harmless. After all, no one forced them to spend money/chakra. It was all earned through missions. Besides, the rewards were pretty good too. For Mei Terumī, the Heavenly Net could be equivalent to a large online shopping platform.
"Aren't you afraid I'll leak these ninjutsu?"
"Everything has a price," Sasame said nonchalantly. "If you can really redeem them, it's no big deal if you leak them." Mei Terumī gazed at him, seemingly trying to find traces of a lie. The ninjutsu offered by the Heavenly Net store were almost all the current ninjutsu of the Hidden Sand Village and Konoha Village. If all of them were redeemed, the implications would naturally be terrifying. It was no exaggeration to say it could shorten the Hidden Mist Village's power gap by over a decade. However, as Sasame said, the cost of redeeming them was significant. But there was always hope.
"You're quite confident," Mei Terumī thought for a moment, and that was the only explanation she could come up with. Given Sasame's strength, even if these ninjutsu were leaked, it wouldn't matter. They still couldn't defeat him anyway.
"I suppose so," Sasame didn't deny it. Mei Terumī didn't know that his confidence stemmed from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. No ninjutsu had any effect on her. Unless it was Sage Art. Besides, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was the Heavenly Net server. She had contingencies. The souls of all players who logged into the Heavenly Net would be bound. Firstly, to prevent others from impersonating accounts. Secondly, those who know, know. With Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's abilities, it would be easy to make slight adjustments. The Heavenly Net was easy to join, but difficult to leave. However, as the saying goes, as long as you don't provoke Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, nothing will happen.
"Do you remember that guy from before?" Sasame suddenly asked.
"Are you talking about that bastard who controlled the Fourth Mizukage?" Mei Terumī recovered and said, a hint of anger in her voice, "Of course I remember!"
"According to my investigation, he has joined a certain organization and might be planning to acquire Tailed Beasts," Sasame warned. "At that time, you'll need to be careful." In the original work, the Three-Tails became wild. But now, due to his intervention, it was still in the Hidden Mist Village. Replacing a jinchuriki was when the Tailed Beast was at its weakest. The Akatsuki might send people over.
"I understand," Mei Terumī's gaze sharpened, and she didn't doubt his intelligence. After all, Sasame had no reason to lie to her.
"Actually, I've wanted to ask you for a long time, is he a ninja from your Konoha Village?" Mei Terumī thought for a moment and asked, "And when you first approached me, was it also because of him?"
"The fact that you held back until now to ask truly surprises me," Sasame smiled at her words. "He does have some connection to Konoha Village, but he's a rogue ninja now." Mei Terumī's lips subtly curled. She hadn't asked before, partly because she was busy and hadn't found the right opportunity, and partly because she owed him too much and found it difficult to bring it up. Now that Sasame proactively brought it up, she took the chance to ask.
"That's all?" Mei Terumī couldn't help but ask. "What about his specific identity?"
"I don't know either," Sasame shrugged. "He said his name was Madara Uchiha, but do you believe that?"
"Of course I don't," Mei Terumī observed him carefully for a few moments, seeing no signs of a lie. She could only let it go.
"Nothing else. You can leave," Mei Terumī took a deep breath. "And don't just randomly come back and scare people."
"I've helped you so much. Where's my reward?" Sasame asked, crossing his arms. "Surely a dignified Lady Mizukage wouldn't refuse to pay, would she?" Mei Terumī was speechless. She suppressed the panic in her heart and asked, "What do you want?"
"Lady Mizukage, what do you wish to give?" Sasame's gaze fell upon her lips.
"You're truly a pervert," Mei Terumī was startled, glaring at him, a little annoyed.
"I didn't say anything," Sasame said, looking a little wronged. Mei Terumī gritted her teeth in anger. A moment later, her delicate and beautiful face leaned towards him. Before she could make a move, Sasame had already taken the initiative. He transformed a simple lip press into a "battle of two snakes." Mei Terumī responded rather clumsily. She only pushed Sasame away when she could no longer breathe. Her chest rose and fell as she struggled to inhale air.
"You..." Mei Terumī looked at him, her creamy skin tinged with pink. In contrast, her lips had lost their rosy color and turned pale. But surprisingly, she wasn't angry.
"Thank you for your hospitality," Sasame said with a smile.
