Chapter 59 Procrastination
The night was getting dark, and the chilly wind was blowing slowly, making people tighten their clothes involuntarily.

Mingyou ate up all the mashed potatoes in the leaf plate, but he barely ate half full.

But seeing that all the ninjas in the Land of Water had one share, Mingyou didn't feel the nerve to open his mouth and continue to ask for more.

Leaning against Dashu and continuing to chat with Terumi Mei, Mingyou took his travel backpack, took out his simple sleeping bag, opened it, got into the sleeping bag and closed his eyes to prepare for a rest.

Although there is a sleeping bag that can block the cold wind, it is not very comfortable to sleep lying on the cold and hard ground.

But even in such a harsh environment, Mingyou still quickly fell asleep.

Because of the continuous rush these days, I am really tired.

"Chirp chirp chirp."

In the early morning of the next day, a red glow rose from the eastern sky, and the early birds in the forest had already started a new day of predation.

Mingyou went to bed very early, and woke up from his sleep under the joyful singing of the bird.

Opening his eyes, he sat up slowly and looked around. On the sloping slopes of the mountains, there were large areas of sleeping bags leaning against the big trees. It seemed that those ninjas were still sleeping very soundly.

There are also many ninjas on duty outside the camp, still sticking to their posts.

However, Terumi Mei, who was supposed to be sleeping next to Mingyou, had disappeared without a trace.

"Wake up so early, where have you been?"

Mingyou looked around, but didn't find any trace of Terumi Mei.

I put my sleeping bag in my luggage and walked towards a stream not far from the mountain camp.

He took the clear and cold stream water to wash his face, and wandered around.

Originally, I wanted to get some game back for breakfast, but I didn't find any trace of the beast.

In desperation, Mingyou had no choice but to turn over and walk back to the camping place.

When Mingyou just arrived at the resting place last night, he found that Terumi Mei and Chojuro just jumped from the forest at the bottom of the mountain and rushed back to the camp.

"Sister, where have you been?"

Mingyou sat down against the big tree, raised his head and asked Terumi Mei doubtfully.

"Go down the mountain to the territory of the Fire Country to inquire about the news." Terumi Mei smiled slightly, raised her jade hand to pat the dew on her clothes, and sat down beside Mingyou.

Mingyou asked suspiciously: "Oh? How is the investigation going? Is there Konoha's scouting ninja below?"

Terumi Mei nodded: "Of course, although the number of people is not large, but as I expected, there are hidden observation points set up in many places."

"I see." Mingyou nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that according to Terumi Mei's meaning, the next task is relatively much simpler.

Camped and rested in this mountain stream, waiting for the news from the Kingdom of Thunder.

Mingyou also had doubts. There is no phone in the ninja world. How should they get in touch with these countries at such a long distance?
It wasn't until she asked Terumi Mei that she took Mingyou to visit the communication location of the country of water.

It was a large green tent, with many antenna-like devices connected to the top of the tent, rising into the sky.

Inside the tent, there are many induction ninjas sitting cross-legged inside, with some kind of equipment installed on their heads.

It is said that the Kingdom of Thunder has already sent many such communication locations in other places, and communicated through a method similar to telephone series.

Knowing a general idea, Mingyou lost interest and rested in the camp with peace of mind.

"Master Mizukage, there is news from the Land of Thunder, saying that our four nations will unite to attack Konoha in the Land of Fire at noon today."

Until the next morning, the summoning ninja finally came to report the news to Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei frowned slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, said softly: "I see, you can continue to return to your post first."

"Sister, is this going to start?" Mingyou was sitting next to Terumi Mei, so he naturally heard the news.

A smile formed on the corner of Terumi Mei's mouth: "No, we need to leave tomorrow morning."

"Oh? This is to let the three countries take the lead." Mingyou was slightly surprised, but after hearing Terumi Mei's explanation yesterday, he immediately understood what she meant.

"Sister, will this cause dissatisfaction in several other countries?"

After holding back for a long time, Mingyou still couldn't help asking what was in his heart.

Terumi Mei shook his head firmly: "No, several other countries should also deliberately delay for some time, but it's just not as long as us."

"Even if they want to be held accountable at that time, I can say that they were stopped by the ninjas of Muye Village, or they were delayed on the road."

Speaking of this, Terumi Mei raised her jade hand and patted Mingyou's head, and said with a light smile: "My brother Mingyou, you don't have to worry about these things, you are still far behind in this respect."

"Uh, okay." Mingyou had no choice but to shut his mouth tactfully, and didn't say anything more.

Seeing Mingyou's deflated look, Terumi Mei couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling: "What's wrong, you got hit?"

"No, sister, what you said is correct." Mingyou shook his head slightly, in terms of these strategic minds, he was indeed not as good as Terumi Mei.

Terumi Mei nodded: "That's good, but then again, you should be able to guess the purpose of inviting you here this time, right?"

Mingyou was slightly taken aback, what is the purpose of inviting him here?
Isn't it helping to cooperate with the ninjas in the country of water?

But when Terumi Mei asked this, it was obvious that things couldn't be so simple.

After a while, Mingyou came to his senses and asked, "Sister, you mean, let me control Konoha's Kyuubi?"

"Hey, it seems that my brother is not stupid." Terumi Mei joked with a smile.

After a pause, she continued, "It's true that you can control Nine Tails, but what you really need to do is to take down Nine Tails' Jinchuriki."

"Among the countries, there are villages of the tailed orc Churiki. No matter whether the four countries work together to destroy Konoha Village this time, I hope that the Kyuubi can be owned by us."

Things were exactly as Terumi Mei had expected. When night fell that day, from above this steep peak, one could barely see dazzling flames rising from everywhere in the distance, or thunder and lightning.

Although the sound cannot be heard, it can be easily judged from these alone.

The three countries of Thunder, Earth, and Wind should have tacitly chosen to delay for some time before starting the war with the Nation of Fire.

But none of them were as tolerant as Terumi Mei, and they didn't want to launch an attack until the next morning.

Seeing that the battle has already started, camping and resting on this high mountain at this time, it is obvious that there will be no more surprise attacks.
