"Lord Mei... what is wrong." A jonin supported her back and asked nervously.
At this moment, Mei's delicate frame was trembling slightly, and fine beads of cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.
Encountering a vengeful spirit would not frighten Mei, but encountering Uchiha Ryun, this God of Killing, was the most terrifying thing in the world. She felt that everyone on her ship was about to perish at sea.
To some in the Ninja World, the Illusory Sun Dragon God was a righteous god symbolizing peace. But to the people of the Land of Water, Land of Earth, and Land of Lightning, he was a notorious God of Killing, an evil dragon who, upon gaining power, would stir up storms and bloodshed.
Mei had personally witnessed how this evil god destroyed Kirigakure back then.
If the Third Mizukage had not saved her at that time, how could Mei still be alive now. She would have long been blasted to dust by a Tailed Beast Bomb...
Facing this nearly certain death situation, Mei bit her lip hard, forcing herself to calm down.
"You... do you want to stand up for Konoha and kill us."
When Ryun encountered them, he did not immediately destroy the ship. After boarding, he did not immediately start killing. This was very abnormal. Mei sensed a sliver of possibility for survival from this.
Fighting Uchiha Ryun at sea was hopeless. Mei believed that even ten more ships of ninja would not be his match. If he used just one sea release technique, everyone on this ship would end up in the sea feeding the fish.
The Five Kage joined forces to 'slay the dragon', but the result was one dead, two injured, and two fled. This intelligence was unknown to ordinary jonin, but she, Mei, was qualified to know it.
"Stand up for Konoha. Not interested for now..."
"As for killing you... I do not seem interested in that for now either."
Ryun's expression was a faint smile. Although he said he was not interested in killing, the indifference in his eyes made Mei's heart turn cold.
"Just who are you."
A hot tempered ninja shouted loudly. But the next moment, Mei immediately gave him a death glare.
"My name is Uchiha Ryun. I wanted to accompany my wife to the Land of Whirlpools to sweep the graves, but we struggled to find a passage ship. I heard from a fisherman that the Land of Water and Land of Fire are fighting near here, which is why no ferry dares to approach this sea area...
With no ship to take, we could only walk on the sea for most of the day. So I am very irritated right now. Now that I have encountered the Water Country ninja who caused my irritation, tell me, should I kill people to vent my anger."
After this simple self statement, the Kirigakure ninja opposite all 'erupted'.
Who is Uchiha Ryun. Was he not that evil god who stole their Tailed Beasts, killed their comrades, and destroyed their village.
For a moment, the surrounding ninja all subconsciously swallowed, gripping their weapons a little tighter. Their first reaction upon encountering their enemy was not anger, but fear.
Simply because Kirigakure had issued an order. When encountering Uchiha Ryun outside on missions, one must decisively distance themselves, and are permitted to abandon the current task if necessary. If the village verifies this, not only is there no fault, but one can even receive merit...
Most people looked at Mei. They dared not act rashly, clearly waiting for Mei to make a decision.
The more it was like this, the calmer Mei became. She did not act on impulse and issue a fight to the death order. Instead, she changed her previous guarded posture, looked at Ryun, and forced a stiff smile.
"Please calm your anger, sir. This matter is indeed our Land of Water's fault. Mei offers an apology to you on behalf of the Land of Water. We hope you can give us a chance to turn over a new leaf. Let our ship comfortably transport you both to the Land of Whirlpools..."
As Mei spoke, she actually bowed deeply to Ryun. This scene left the surrounding ninja stunned.
They never thought their leader would choose to compromise and bend. You should know, this female powerhouse of Kirigakure never bowed to authority, and she was definitely not a cowardly person...
For this person to merely stand there and say a few words, forcing Mei to lower her head, the jonin on the ship immediately understood that defeating this person would be very difficult. If it was not completely hopeless, their leader would absolutely not lower her head so decisively.
"You apologize on behalf of the Land of Water. Is your face that big. It is not even as big as my wife's face..."
As soon as Ryun said this, Kushina, who had been waiting below the ship, was momentarily stunned. Then, a blue vein suddenly popped out on her fair forehead, and her fists unconsciously clenched.
"Besides, why should I give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. Do I look like a very kind person to you."
Ryun asked with a cold expression.
"You..." A ninja, unable to bear it, wanted to risk everything, but Mei suddenly raised her hand to stop his impulse.
"If you kill us, sir, there will be no one to sail the ship for you. In the end, you two would still have to walk on the sea, and you would still be unable to vent your irritation..."
"Why not set aside your anger for now. Please invite the lady below to come aboard. Going to the Land of Whirlpools is important..."
Mei's words made Ryun laugh.
"Quite the eloquent one... I remember you. We met once in Kirigakure ten years ago."
After Ryun said this, Mei's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Back then, she was the only ninja who ignored the Third Mizukage's repeated warnings and dared to look Ryun directly in the eye.
Moreover, she had been disrespectful to him, which was why Ryun controlled the Tailed Beast to fire a Tailed Beast Bomb at her...
She never thought that after ten years, this guy could still remember that incident.
"You have a good memory, sir..." Mei said with a forced smile, her originally sexy red lips slightly pale from fright because of those words...
"Heh, relax. Since I could not kill you back then, you are fortunate and have a strong destiny. I dislike stubborn people, but I have always appreciated those who know the times... I would not necessarily attack you a second time..."
Ryun laughed and offered a word of comfort. The next moment, everyone saw him call out to the area below the ship. Immediately after, a red haired woman decisively jumped onto the deck.
"How is it going."
Kushina stood beside Ryun and asked quietly, her eyes full of vigilance towards the enemy ninja.
"What do you think. We encountered some kind hearted people... These kind hearted people have agreed to take us to the Land of Whirlpools, and do not plan to charge any fee..."
Ryun explained with a laugh. Hearing this, Kushina almost laughed, but could only press her lips together, struggling to maintain composure.
"Are you not going to put away your weapons. Each of you holding swords, looking fierce and savage. If you scare my wife, your lives, no matter how many you have, would not be enough to pay for it..."
The Kiri ninja opposite were clearly so scared they dared not breathe heavily, yet Ryun described them as fierce and savage...
Seeing that this bad man was never serious, daring to amuse her even at such a tense moment, Kushina found it extremely difficult to hold back her laughter. So, she could only lean close to Ryun and stealthily reach out to pinch the soft flesh at his waist.
