Chapter 295: The Hesitant Orochimaru
"Mizukage-sama, if we do that we will stand against all the Kirigakure ninjas."

Although Chojuro looks simple and honest, he is very smart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the Sixth Mizukage destined by fate, who possesses a strong political mind.

Very clear,
Once they carry out Mei Terumi's orders, both of them will be hated by all the ninja clans.

Even regarded as an enemy,
Being assassinated, poisoned, and plotted against, the severity of the incident was even greater than the bloody mist period when the fourth generation of rulers came to power.

Countless ninjas wanted to skin and dismember the two men to serve as a warning to all new Kages who wanted to establish an empire.

"Don't you feel weird?"

Mei Terumi asked with a gloomy look in her eyes: "Whether it is the continent of Arad, the ruins of the Novice Village, or the other worlds behind the various game abilities."

"It's rare to see a powerful extraordinary person working for a fragile ordinary person who has no ability at all and is so weak that a slightly trained genin can kill him."

The weak ordinary people refer to the country’s highest ruler, the daimyo.

this time,

It was the honest man's turn to be puzzled, and he said, "Ninjas are born to fight and kill. The daimyo and the country provide us with food and funds, and we are responsible for fighting for the daimyo."

This has been a consensus for hundreds and thousands of years. When ninjas appeared, they were mercenaries recruited by daimyo to invade other countries' territories.

Few people can think outside of the ninja's mindset.

"Yes, this is also the consensus of the ninja world."

Mei Terumi nodded, then changed the subject and said, "In other words, according to this logic, as long as ninjas exist, the ninja world is doomed to never be at peace, and we will continue to fight for generations."

Ninjas were born for killing. The continuous appearance of ninjas means continuous killing.

"This"

Chojuro was speechless.
Whether they were commoners or ninjas, nobles or daimyo, everyone in the ninja world had thought about peace.

It’s just that some people are persistent in pursuing it, like Yahiko and Jiraiya.

Some people gave up long ago.

"I pondered over and over, constantly flipping through those complicated and tedious books that would not help me in any way."

Mei Terumi's eyes were calm as she said, "Finally, I came to my own conclusion."

"There is no such thing as a ninja world, and ninjas shouldn't exist. These are all wrong things."

The sound is flat.

Chojuro was horrified when he heard this.

Has Lord Mizukage gone insane from practicing the secret technique of the Explosion Wizard?
However, the curiosity in his heart still made him ask: "Are you saying that our current ninja world is wrong and should not exist?"

"That's it."

Mei Terumi's voice was crisp and clear, reaching his ears clearly, and she said, "I have read the national history of most of the ruins."

"Those countries all developed step by step over a long period of time, from tribes to villages, and then to ethnic groups and countries."

"But in our ninja world, there is only fighting."

The ninja world is like a group of children. They should have experienced a childhood of falling and fighting but not fatally, and constantly accumulated enough experience and wisdom.

Then wait until adulthood to begin exploring the meaning of peace.

Be it a dispute or a conflict, blood and death are not to be feared. With enough wisdom, there will be a winner to change the status quo.

but now,
These children, while still young and ignorant, had mastered powerful chakra, skipped the age of accumulating experience, and started fighting each other.

Children kept dying.
Winners are constantly born, but they do not have enough wisdom and foundation to change everything.

There will still be new strong children to replace the aging victors.

Just children.

It shouldn't be like this.
Mei Terumi, who has read countless books, believes that the entire ninja world is a mistake.

Whether it is the Will of Fire or the Will of Stone, the wisdom of a child should not be allowed to rule the world.

The Fire Empire founded by Orochimaru is cruel.

But it made Mei Terumi see something different, something that broke the pattern of the ninja world.

She didn't want to continue like this.
So, risking the hatred of all the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village, she also wanted to create a new future for those who were loyal to her.

"Will you fight alongside me, Chojuro?"

Say everything that's on your mind.

Mei Terumi took off the Mizukage's bamboo hat, revealing her beautiful face.
He extended his hand and looked at Chojuro seriously. Chojuro, who was always shy,
Instead of blushing and getting excited like before, he thought seriously for a long time.
Finally, instead of extending his hand, he knelt down and said, "You have always been my most respected senior."

"I am willing to pledge my loyalty to you because when the village was in the most dire situation and everyone stood aside, you were willing to take the risk of certain death and rectified the precarious Kirigakure so that most people could survive."

"As long as your ambition remains unchanged, I and the flounder in my hand will always be the sharpest blade in your hand."

Chojuro, a simple and honest man whose appearance gradually became a little rough, gave a decisive answer.

Mei Terumi looked surprised.
I didn't expect that the usually shy Chojuro could actually say such a thing.
Instead of directly opposing or swearing allegiance to himself, he directly confronted the civilians and the village?
"Is this your will? It's admirable!"

Mei Terumi is generous with her praise,
Although I was worried about Chojuro's weak character before, I have changed my mind now.

The younger generation of Kirigakure is equally good and has begun to show their prowess.

and,

When Terumim thought of Chojuro's address, her eyes turned dangerous.

Even the temperature in the house suddenly rose.

Chojuro couldn't help but wipe his sweat, feeling nervous.

"You call me senpai because you think I'm old, you bastard Chojuro?"

Boom.

Thick, deep blue lightning as big as the ocean kept striking the territory of the dragon people.

The magnificent Dragon Hall had long been reduced to ruins.

"Intruder, accept the funeral of thunder and lightning!"

The dragon leader Lucas held high the fallen artifact, the thunder fork that he held tightly.
Thunder and lightning roared and rolled violently.

The Death Curse Snake that Orochimaru transformed into had been charred by lightning, and residual lightning was constantly moving on its scales.

state of paralysis.

This caused his mobility to slow down.
The formation that could enhance necromancy had long been destroyed by waves of thunder.

"Sure enough, it is still too difficult to hunt a second-level lord alone."

Orochimaru gasped.

The snake's tail rolled up a bottle of energy recovery potion and swallowed it down its throat along with the glass bottle, restoring its depleted energy.

The Death Snake is his strongest state.

Promoted to a second-tier skill by the [Skill Level Scroll].

Both the hardness of the snake's body and the necromancy spells covering its scales far surpassed the former white-scaled snake.

He had seen the strength of the Nine-Tail's explosion.

The monster that can destroy the world will be whipped away by its own snake body.

But now he was beaten so badly by the dragon leader.

"."

Orochimaru stared at the dragon leader with cold eyes.

This look made even Lucas, who had killed countless adventurers and invaders, feel a chill in his heart.

"I have smashed the weird snake body, and the necromancy spell has been suppressed by my lightning, but why do I feel danger?"

Lucas felt a chill in his heart.
What followed was anger. He was actually frightened by a first-level ant, and suddenly thunder struck.

Bang.

This time Orochimaru did not dodge, and the Death Curse Snake was hit hard by the lightning.

The snake's body opened up, and the inky black aura of the undead leaked out. Even the undead spell patterns on the snake's scales began to fade.

"Do you want to take action?"

Orochimaru's eyes flashed with a cold look, hesitant,

He still has a trump card.
That is to destroy all the undead that have been cultivated with great effort and infuse them into the Deathly Curse Snake, which will enable one to obtain powerful strength in an instant.

Even Lucas didn't notice.

Its back, which was covered with blue dragon scales, was crawling with gray-black earthworm-like undead snakes.

It can be twisted into undead chains to bind it at any time!
