Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"Kakashi, since you just fought with the Fourth Hokage, then you...can sense something, right?"

Kakashi felt a chill in his heart.

The fact that she asked this question clearly showed that Mei Terumi already had some doubts about the Fourth Mizukage Yagura.

But even Konoha might not know about the existence of Uchiha Madara. As far as Kakashi knows, it's just that he learned from Itachi that he was a member of the Akatsuki organization.

If Mei Terumi was aware of the involvement behind Kirigakure and knew about the existence of Uchiha Madara, she would not have remained inactive until now.

Allowing outsiders to interfere in internal affairs is something that cannot be tolerated anywhere.

Doubts are doubts after all, and making doubts a reason for action is often the most difficult step.

With just a few words, Kakashi already knew where he was.

I suspect Yagura is abnormal, but I have no solid evidence...

——This is the embarrassing situation that Mei Terumi is in right now!

But no matter whether it is out of intuition or something else, doubt is the seed of the answer. All that is needed is a little more patience in seeking.

"In the past half month, I am not the only one who suspects the abnormal behavior of the Fourth Hokage. Many rebellious ninjas have fled the village, but I guess those who did not leave any traces may not have left the village. Perhaps there are other reasons..." Mei Terumi said slowly with her arms folded across her chest.

Kakashi and Ye Cang looked at each other, and they both understood the hidden meaning of the words.

“He was the leader who abolished the Blood Mist, but after many years he revived the old system when the Mist Hidden Village regained its vitality. If it weren’t for his great reputation over the years, the village’s apparent peace would never have been able to last until now.

"But even so, Kirigakure is now in a state of chaos and disunity, to the point where it is only a matter of seconds before it falls apart..."

Compared to what Mei Mei said, Kakashi was not unfamiliar.

This delicate peace could collapse at any time. Defections were common, and forces determined to rebel were also dormant and ready to make a move.

This is exactly the case with Konoha. Even in the most stable period, there are still unstable factors like the Uchiha.

When a decision affects one party and the resentment reaches a certain level, the worst outcome is defection and rebellion. The Uchiha clan at that time was the latter.

The traitor who escaped was the former, just like the man I ran into on the way here...

Kakashi finally understood what it meant by "coming at an unfortunate time" and "it will make both sides united in hatred of the enemy".

Fortunately, at least we are now on the same team and don't have to face the pressure of "sharing the same hatred for the enemy".

"Well...which side are you going to stand on?" Kakashi thought for a moment and suddenly realized the problem that had been ignored.

Mei Terumi, does she support the current 'Yakura' and turn a blind eye to his abnormal behavior, or is she actually a member of the opposition force?

This determines the way she facilitates the alliance.

Holding the key information gap - it is impossible for Uchiha Madara to agree to the alliance, Kakashi would be happy to see her get frustrated with the standpoint of Yagura's faction, and then come to ask for advice with a bitter face... maybe it would be interesting?

"Do you even need to ask? I only stand on the winning side."

'You won't go wrong if you follow me', this is roughly what Ye Cang translated it as.

Seeing his sullen face, knowing that this was not the time to be clever, Mei Terumi felt that she was boring, so she put away her smile and said seriously, "I haven't had much contact with the Fourth Generation, but based on the impression I got from the high-level resolution, I've noticed a lot of things in his words and deeds over the past half month that are different from before. It's like he's only managing the appearance, but he's quietly changed his 'inner self'. It's hard not to be suspicious."

Changed the inner...

Recalling the confrontation at that time, Kakashi's eyes suddenly narrowed.

This was a situation that had never been considered before. After all, based on experience and knowledge, the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, who was able to perfectly control the power of the tailed beasts with illusions, did not think this was possible.

But with Uchiha Madara's ability, it may not be impossible.

Uchiha Madara might not be interfering in Kirigakure's internal affairs by "cooperating" or "trading" with Yagura as he had thought before. For him, there is a simpler and more brutal way...

Once this possibility was mentioned, it quickly gained trust in Kakashi's heart!

——Some people cannot be judged by common sense.

Mei Terumi's eyes turned and she showed a meaningful smile: "It seems that you already have the answer."

"Are you looking for me for the answer?"

Kakashi burst out laughing and suddenly understood.

Being set up!

Mei Terumi was unaware of the existence of Uchiha Madara, and Kakashi himself had no idea of ​​the strange behavior of Yagura.

If there are grudges and information cannot be exchanged, the clue to the answer will be cut off here.

Now, comparing the two, the answer is self-evident.

But the process of driving the quest was in her hands from beginning to end.

Knowing that he was good at making judgments, he was willing to share the information he had and throw out bait at the right time, just to get the result confirmed by Kakashi's face...

This approach is extremely risky and also tests one's ability to read people's minds, but taking risks can often bring a new perspective and thus find a chance to break the deadlock.

Maybe she is just such an inspirational player with overflowing confidence?

Kakashi had to wonder.

It's really frustrating to be defeated in this way, it's simply the mentality of a gambler.

(So ​​lucky!)

Considering that he dared to disguise himself as a member of Konoha's Anbu and come to provide support just by wearing a mask, it is reasonable to speculate that this guy has an innate spirit of adventure!

"So I guessed it right?" Mei Terumi raised her eyebrows and raised her head proudly.

Barely resisting the urge to heap praise on her face, Kakashi reluctantly returned to the point and told her about their recent encounter, including what had happened in Konoha, without hiding anything.

Ever since Mei Terumi took the risk to come to the rescue, the argument that she was 'not necessarily trustworthy' had been refuted. If they wanted to cooperate sincerely now, trust was undoubtedly the most important thing.

Of course, Kakashi had no intention of keeping the secret, as he had to get around this point sooner or later. But before he could even say it, he was already caught...

After some sorting out, Ye Cang and Mei Terumi also completely figured out the clues.

After all, we are not fools, it is just the information gap that delays us.

"In that case, you just need to wait for news about what happens next."

"Wait?"

"Yes, not long."

Mei Terumi once again showed a meaningful smile: "After all, you came at the perfect time!"

Kakashi had heard similar words once on the way here, and he couldn't help but frown.

"There are quite a few empty rooms in the side courtyard. You can just pick one and ask Ye Cang to help you settle down. Of course... the room next door is also OK. I have taken care of it occasionally, so it saves you time. It's all up to you."

"What's the difference?"

"the difference?"

Mei Terumi suddenly laughed, her eyes half-closed, obviously harboring ill intentions. She reached out her hand stealthily around Ye Cang's waist, but did not touch him, instead pressing on the armrest of the recliner.

But this sense of déjà vu of embracing the beauty in his arms undoubtedly reveals his intention.

The latter was completely unaware as she was unbuttoning her collar, holding the cotton towel in her hand and wiping gently from her jaw to her collarbone.

"The difference is whether you really want to have a good sleep or not?"

Suddenly he raised his right leg and placed it on Ye Cang's knee.

After taking off the outer skirt, her pair of long, slender, straight white legs were no longer covered, and they were only barely saved by the hem of the skirt that did not cover her hips.

The lines are delicate and soft, with dancing light and shadow. It does not look like a human body, but rather like the work of a skilled painter.

However, his painting skills do not focus on realism at all, resulting in a flattering and pleasing pursuit of tension that goes against common sense. He just paints whatever looks good, relying entirely on inspiration to splash ink, but it is unexpectedly gripping.

The key point is the contradictory feeling of being thin and plump, which is a rare "practical type" even in some indescribable copies.

Looking at the big white legs that were suddenly raised, Ye Cang blinked, grabbed her ankle as if afraid that she would change her mind, and pursed his lips to hold back his smile.

"You want me to massage it for you?"

One hand naturally moved up to the thigh, taking advantage of the soft touch of the skin, sliding to the inside and gently rubbing it with the fingertips.

As her itchy spots were being tickled, Terumi Mei arched her body. Unexpectedly, she tensed her legs and thighs unconsciously and began to struggle. She wanted to twist her waist and pull them back, but her protruding muscles were pulled and she couldn't do it because her ankles were held.

After a while, he gasped softly with a red face. Knowing that she was doing something bad on purpose, he felt a little relieved.

She gathered up her hair that was covering her eyes and straightened her clothes before looking back at Kakashi.

"By the way, you must remember to rest well and don't do anything that will hurt your body... Well, that will really delay your work."
