Naruto: Immortal Spirit

Terumi Mei's injury was treated by Kato O and there was nothing serious for the time being, but her mood was indescribably complicated.

"Perhaps this decision was a mistake from the beginning..."

Looking at the man in front of her who had his eyes slightly closed and seemed to be immersed in his own world, her mind kept flashing back to the sight of Kato Oo treating her with an expressionless face, looking at her body as if he was just looking at a ball of moving flesh and blood. The inexplicable contrast made Terumi Mei's heart feel cold.

With his drunkenness, sex, and wealth, this man seemed to have no weaknesses, leaving her unable to make a move.

"Are you sincere...hehe..."

Not knowing what she was thinking of, Terumi Mei clenched her fists slightly, but then slowly relaxed them for a moment. Her thoughts seemed to go back to many years ago, and a vague thought echoed in her ears.

"Will the village get better?"

The water mist is thick, and the girl's thoughts can't help but wander thousands of miles away. The scenes that happened on that land are constantly recalled in front of her eyes. In the blood mist, they kill each other, everyone is in danger, war, death, and crying.

Complex emotions gathered on her face. She compared them carefully, but a strange thought suddenly rose in her mind - the death of Goju Yagura, Momochi Zabuza's rise to power, it seemed that he really had to let go. Kirigakure got a little better.

In the past, Terumi Mei was in the family, and it seemed that everything was considered from the perspective of the family. It seemed that everything should be based on the interests of the family. Although the collision of some thoughts in her mind made her accidentally have some other ideas. thinking, but now, stepping out of Kirigakure's environment and re-examining the series of things that have happened in Kirigakure over the years, it seems a little clearer.

"Miss Terumi Mei, it is a good thing to take a bath in a hot spring after treatment. It can promote the recovery of the body..."

"But if you want to continue soaking, I think there is a high probability that you will faint here..."

Kato Ou glanced lightly at Terumi Mei, who had her head raised and her thoughts were drifting to nowhere. She frowned slightly, slowly stood up from the hot spring bath, and looked at her condescendingly.

"Yes... is it..."

Terumi Mei, who suddenly came back to her senses, frowned slightly, her eyes paused for a moment, and then she continued to look up at Kato Ou silently.

Her face was expressionless and there was not even a hint of shame on her face, which made Terumi Mei always feel helpless.

"Why did it become like this..."

Mei Terumi stood up slowly, seemingly confused, reached out and took the towel from the side, and wrapped it around her body.

Although for ninjas, especially female ninjas, the body seemed to be a kind of weapon, she had never thought of using it, not to mention that it seemed to have no effect on the man in front of her.

"It seems...it has some effect..."

I don't know what she thought of, but Terumi Mei, who originally seemed very calm, had a few blushes on her cheeks.

Anything related to sex can always make people have countless daydreams when it is hidden, but if it is opened up, it is nothing more than that and boring.

…………

The place where Kato Ou and Terumi Mei were at the moment was a hot spring bathhouse that was rebuilt after the war. Perhaps it was the aftermath of the battle. At this time, not many people dared to go out for entertainment. The whole bathhouse was only a few. People around.

After a great battle, the Hot Spring Alley was almost reduced to ruins. Fortunately, most people were not harmed. Only a few unlucky ones accidentally broke their heads while searching for gold and silver in the ruins.

The boss behind Hot Spring Alley seemed to have arrived from somewhere else only a few days ago, gathering nearby people to rebuild the Hot Spring Alley.

Since ancient times, the entertainment industry has always been one of the most profitable industries, but even so, three days ago, the owner of Hot Spring Alley who came in a hurry with a few ninjas looked a little like crying when he looked at the Hot Spring Alley that was almost razed to the ground. No tears.

"Ninja-sama, please restore this place to its original state!"

Wearing forehead protectors from the Grass Ninja Village, several ninjas of varying ages looked at each other, with some hesitation in their eyes. Although the Grass Ninja Village, under the leadership of the new leader, began to try to transform, transforming the original super ninjas into The six-level tasks of s, s, a, b, c, and d mainly focus on ninja combat, and have been transformed into construction scale as the core.

"Master Liushi, according to the village's requirements: C-level construction tasks - medium-sized engineering construction, can be completed within three days by a ninja team from the Ministry of Construction.

This level of reconstruction is completely beyond..."

"indeed……"

"It's barely enough for an A-level construction task, but strictly speaking it should be a B-level construction task - large-scale engineering construction, involving large-scale road paving, large-scale housing construction, and the project volume is within five times of the C-level task. Or It involves contact with ninjas from other villages and requires the protection of a combat team."

"Mr. Mishima, what is mentioned in the mission statement is just to rebuild some damaged houses, the number is about a dozen..."

"But now - not only the houses need to be rebuilt, but the construction foundations also need to be rebuilt on a large scale, and it is also in a place like hot springs where groundwater is very rich. In addition, the amount has also increased several times..."

Liu Shicang, who was leading the team, already had a bit of evil in his eyes. What he didn't say was that according to his observations, this place was most likely destroyed by ninja fighting, which meant that there might be people who came into contact with other villages. Ninja, then it must be a B-level construction mission or above.

The warhead will also issue corresponding escort missions according to the situation. Depending on the forces of the two warring parties, ranging from b to s, the ninjas of the warhead will take over the mission.

Although the Construction Department does not undertake combat missions, they are not a tool that only uses ninjutsu for construction. False reporting of missions like this will inevitably make people angry.

"I..., I didn't expect it to be ruined like this..."

After negotiation between the two parties, although the ninjas who abided by the rules of the Grass Ninja Village did not take action, the strength of the ninjas was not something that ordinary businessmen could underestimate. The mission was changed from a C-level mission to an A-level mission. Mishima paid a large amount of compensation for this.

Before waiting for the support team from Kusanagi Village to arrive, Ryusekura also started the restoration and reconstruction work with his team.

Earth Release Ninjutsu has been improved and used for foundation and main construction. Although the load-bearing capacity of the foundation has increased a lot, the foundation made of rocks treated by Ninjutsu is much stronger. Most of the low-rise buildings with one or two floors have become A small building with six or seven floors.

It is not that there are no high-rise buildings in the Ninja World, but most of them are exclusive to Ninja Villages. They are built by the joint efforts of earth escape ninjas. They are rare in ordinary places. Moreover, the economic development of the Ninja World is extremely uneven. Many places are still thatched houses and wooden buildings. Mainly structural houses, the disaster resistance is almost zero.

Kusanagi Village is now the first to use ninjas to take on engineering tasks in the ninja world, which can be said to be a pioneer. Moreover, it has established a construction department, developed many new building types, and has become the only professional 'construction company' in the ninja world. Many big businessmen flocked to it, and Kusanagi Village also made a lot of money.

"Is this part of your plan?"

Terumi Mei regained her composure, dressed in a kimono, and walked slowly along the streets of the hot spring alley with Kato Ouichi. They were busy working everywhere, watching the ninjas wearing Kusanagi forehead protectors and the civilians living in harmony, interacting with each other. A flash of thought flashed in her eyes at the scene of help.

"The mission mode of ninjas has been transformed, from assassination and combat to economic construction, thereby enhancing the harmony between ninjas and ordinary people, and gradually changing the original concepts..."

"If the ninja village can operate without relying on the rewards of combat and assassination-related tasks, but instead accepts some commercial tasks through chakra and ninjutsu, once it is carried out on a large scale, it will definitely change the ecology of the ninja world..."

Terumi Mei spoke slowly, seeming to be observing Kato O's expression, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any special expression, she couldn't help but frown slightly.

"It's too slow..."

"In addition, if all ninja villages follow suit, there will inevitably be competition. In the end, competition will inevitably turn into battles. In the end, the ability to obtain funds will promote military development, and the money will only be used for research and development. With more destructive ninjutsu, the scale of the war will become larger and larger..."

"Ninjutsu used as a weapon in war all have a common purpose - to kill as many enemies as possible..."

Kato Oo walked slowly in the streets, the breeze blew by, and his unhurried voice reached Terumi Mei's ears, but she felt deeply confused.

"Then a contradiction is formed. To develop the economy for the sake of the prosperity of the village, but as you can imagine, economic prosperity will promote the advancement of military power. Once a fight occurs between those with strong military power, the lethality will be even higher... "

"But we cannot stop development because of this, and we will fall into a vicious cycle..."

"Ha ha……"

"So, Miss Terumi Mei, isn't your goal to make Kirigakure powerful? Why should you care about the lives and deaths of people in other villages..."

When Terumi Mei heard this, she raised her head suddenly, and her eyes were startled. After communicating with Kato Ou these days, when did her thinking change from the wealth and power of Kirigakure to the entire ninja world?

When did it start...

Terumi Mei opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she fell silent. Fighting with Konoha, fighting with other ninja villages, and fighting within the village. Over the years, Kirigakure has suffered countless casualties, and almost every household has been damaged. For people on the battlefield, this kind of hatred cannot be easily eliminated. She can't say anything to forgive others.

"Then fight! Fight more fiercely until the Ninja Village is destroyed..."

"That's what the Akatsuki organization thinks..."

"Initiate a war and let the Ninja Villages fight until their fuel is exhausted. Then stand up and completely eliminate all the Ninja Villages and unify the entire Ninja World!"

There was a slight tremor in Terumi Mei's voice, which seemed to confirm her guess, but her eyes couldn't help but look at Kato Oo, as if waiting for the final judgment.

She is just young, not stupid. In these days of exchanges, there are some vague guesses from Kato Oo's words, but she can't believe it. This simple idea contains the lives of countless people...

"It's just some people's thoughts..."

Kato Oo glanced at Terumi Mei with a bit of surprise. If he used Terumi Mei to bury a secret before, then now, he was slightly surprised. This woman is a very smart woman. woman.

"call……"

Terumi Mei didn't know how to describe her current mood. She was shocked that her guess was confirmed. However, Kato Ou said that it was only the thoughts of some people, which made her a little more confused...

"There are roughly three groups in the Akatsuki organization, and they all have their own plans.

One is headed by Uzumaki Nagato, who uses "perception of pain" to allow everyone to feel the pain and let go of hatred. He is also the main force in the destruction of the five great ninja villages;

The other faction is headed by Uchiha Obito and uses the name of Uchiha Madara to build a new world through a special plan;

In the end, just like you and me, each with his own purpose, joins the Akatsuki organization..."

Kato Ou didn't hide anything, and told Terumi Mei all the information he knew about the Akatsuki organization. Terumi Mei was also slightly stunned. It seemed that the information she had tried so hard to obtain was obtained so easily, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

However, a few days ago, she would have sent the information out even if she risked her life, but now, the thought made her fall into deeper doubts.

"If division continues for such a long time, wars will continue... Is reunification the right path?"

"No...no..., it must not be..."

"The village..."

There was a bit of panic in her eyes. She didn't know why she had such thoughts, but after this thought suddenly appeared, it followed her like maggots on the tarsal bones, and she could no longer get rid of it...

"Is this really the best thing?"

Terumi Mei couldn't seem to find a suitable reason to refute, and her turbulent mood slowly calmed down. She looked at Kato Ou with some expectation in her eyes. It can be said that these past few days have really subverted her previous concepts.

"Whoever you think can become a strong man in this ninja world has to fight his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. These people all have their own firm beliefs. They are never the rhetoric of a ninja village. You can impress these determined guys with illusory ideas..."

"Miss Terumi Mei..."

Kato Oo slowly turned around, with a slight smile on his face, and looked into Terumi Mei's eyes. At this moment, the smell of sulfur in the air, the shouts in the streets, and all the sounds in the world seemed to disappear. , only a faint ringing in the ears is left.

"I said that sincerity is always the ultimate skill..."

Terumi Mei was in a daze, quietly looking at Kato Oo's slightly twinkling eyes. An inexplicable touch arose in her heart. Now she seemed to understand a little bit why the Akatsuki organization was able to gather so many people. Shadow-level powerhouse.

"A firm belief, a belief that allowed them to survive nine deaths without regretting it, even if tens of millions of people criticized me and left..."

"Is what they did right?"

Hearing Terumi Mei's murmur, Kato Oo slowly shook his head, chuckled, and walked forward slowly, minding his own business, looking at the grass ninjas who were working hard around him, but he knew in his heart that all Terumi Mei's thoughts were. It was conceived before she had met anyone else from the Akatsuki organization. If she had met these 'weird' guys first, I'm afraid she wouldn't think so anymore...

"However, it doesn't count as cheating on her..."

Terumi Mei stood there quietly, silent. Her mind was already a mess and she urgently needed someone to explain her confusion. She looked up at Kato Oo's still unhurried back, stretched out her hand, but I didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"So..., what's your plan?"

"your thoughts!"

"You said it's just some people's ideas, so you don't agree with them..."

"That's right!"

His feet couldn't help but move a little faster, chasing Kato Oo's back, Terumi Mei's voice was full of urgency and expectation.

The sun falls fairly on everyone's head, but only a handful of people actually raise their heads and look up at it...
