"Land, give me a piece of land where I can build a village."
"People, after Yagura steps down, I hope you can become the Mizukage."
Terumi Mei asked, "What's the promise?"
Linto put down his hand: "No rush, let's talk about it after we win."
"Land, no problem, I can promise you that now, but 'Mizukage'..."
Terumi Mei scratched her face awkwardly, pointed at herself and said, "I'm only twenty-one years old."
According to the original plan, after Yagura stepped down, the position of Mizukage would be temporarily managed by Elder Genji, and the fifth generation Mizukage would be selected at a suitable time.
Linto shook his head.
Before coming, Linto asked Kambara Hayato for a list of Kirigakure's top-ranked ninjas and their corresponding personality traits.
There is no one more suitable than Terumi Mei.
If Linto's plan is to be carried out, Terumi Mei must take office as Mizukage.
However, Linto did not delve into this issue.
All rewards can only be redeemed after winning.
With only three days left, Terumi Mei settled everyone down and then left in a hurry again.
Konan watched Terumi Mei leave, turned her head and asked Linto, "Is she your woman?"
As soon as she said this, Linto, Sasuke, and Momo-chan all spat out tea, spraying it on Konan's face. She was about to get angry when Mayuri gently handed her a towel.
"Of course not," Linto said.
"Then why are you so good to her, helping her at the risk of danger, and even wanting her to become Mizukage?"
"Because she has potential."
"What potential?"
Linto didn't answer, but instead asked, "Do you think Masked Man will come?"
Konan hesitated for a moment and said, "He's a very mysterious person, no one can see through his true purpose..."
Halfway through, Konan realized something.
"Why am I telling you this?"
Linto chuckled, "Then let me rephrase the question."
"After witnessing what's happening in the Land of Water and Kirigakure, Konan, do you want Masked Man to come and stop the change from happening?"
This time, Konan did not respond.
...
Seemingly worried about information leaking, Terumi Mei booked the entire Izumi Inn. Apart from them, there were no other guests in the entire building.
Rarely having the opportunity to soak in a hot spring, Linto changed his clothes and came to the hot spring bath. Mayuri's voice came from behind:
"Master, if you need it, I can help you scrub your back."
Linto pretended not to hear and entered the men's bath. As soon as he entered, the steam was thick and the visibility was very low. Linto groped to the edge of the pool and gradually soaked in.
Just as he closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the water, a cold voice sounded behind him.
"Is this all there is to the 'Invincible Linto'? I really don't understand why that woman Terumi Mei trusts you so much."
A kunai extended from the thick steam, pointing at Linto's throat. Linto slightly opened his eyes, and behind him was a fierce man wrapped in a bath towel.
Linto had seen him in Kambara Hayato's information:
The Ghost Man, Momochi Zabuza, had been dissatisfied with Yagura's blood mist policy for many years. He originally wanted to assassinate Yagura alone, but Terumi Mei discovered him and stopped him in time. Now he has become one of the core members of the reform faction.
Linto changed to a more comfortable position, leaned on the edge of the hot spring pool, and said:
"Take a look behind you?"
In the thick fog, Sasuke quietly appeared, a kunai against Zabuza's kidney.
Zabuza snorted coldly.
"Take another look behind you?"
The thick fog behind Sasuke faded away, and another Zabuza appeared, a kunai pointing at the back of Sasuke's neck. It turned out that the first one was Zabuza's water clone lure.
"Take another look... never mind."
Linto didn't want to continue endlessly. Star Platinum, standing at the very back, threw Sasuke and Zabuza into the hot spring pool, one in each hand.
The pool water splashed high, crossing the bamboo wall and landing in the women's bath next door, causing the women to scream.
"Shut up!"
Zabuza shouted in a low voice, waved his hand, and dispelled the thick fog of the "Kirigakure Jutsu." The vision was much clearer. He stared at Linto coldly and said:
"I advise you to leave immediately. Whether we overthrow Yagura or are killed by Yagura, this is an internal matter of Kirigakure and should not be interfered with by you, an outsider."
Before Linto could speak, Sasuke, who couldn't stand Zabuza's arrogant appearance, said, "Without Brother Shou's help, you would lose."
"Bullshit!"
Zabuza raised his fist, "With me around, there's no way we can lose. I am the Ghost Man, Zabuza."
"You're the one talking nonsense! Eat my farts!"
Sasuke put all his strength into it, and really farted several times in the hot spring, causing water bubbles to surge up. He used Ripple power to fix the bubbles, grabbed them, and threw them at Zabuza.
"Hot Spring Hot Fart Ripple Dash!"
Zabuza waved his hand and shattered the ripple water bubbles, and immediately a strong fart smell came.
"Stinky brat!"
Although Zabuza was upset, he wouldn't argue with a child, or rather, he had the arrogance of a strong man - otherwise, he wouldn't have refused to collude with the loyalists and planned to attack Yagura alone.
Linto chuckled.
Zabuza came over, said some harsh words, just wanted to test Linto's level. If Linto was unworthy of his reputation, he would let him get out as soon as possible.
Now the reform faction has heard that Terumi Mei has invited Linto, and many people have high hopes for Linto. If Linto suddenly chickened out in three days.
It would be a major blow to the morale of the reform faction.
"However, can I handle a perfect Jinchuriki?"
Linto has never seen a Tailed Beast.
After learning through a lot of information, Linto's impression of the Tailed Beast is roughly like a monster in Ultraman.
Very large.
Has the power, life, and defense that match its size.
It can also shoot lasers~Biu~Biu~.
The simple way to deal with this kind of non-humanoid super monster is large-scale fire bombing, such as the Super Fire Dragon Storm that the Root organization ninjas created together last time.
Unfortunately, Kirigakure's situation is complicated. Terumi Mei's side has a total of only fifty or sixty people who can be mobilized. They are not like Root organization, which is specially selected, trained, and practiced. For a while, it is impossible to use similar combined Ninjutsu.
Linto counted the resources in his hand.
Hermit Purple, useless.
Aerosmith, can conduct remote air interception and harassment, but lacks frontal combat effectiveness.
White Snake, when cracking Genjutsu, you can try to summon it, but once you enter a combat state, it is not very useful.
Rainbow Catcher...
"It would be great if it rained."
If it rains, let alone Yagura, even if a few more Tailed Beasts come, Linto feels that he can easily take them down. The area control ability realized by Rainbow Catcher with Ripple and natural power has a powerful force that transcends a level.
Unfortunately, it has not rained in Kirigakure recently.
"I can only rely on Star Platinum."
Use unparalleled frontal attack power to bombard the enemy's body, ignoring the size difference. This is the method Linto thought of.
In order to achieve this.
Linto decided to upgrade Star Platinum to the maximum level.
The current Star Platinum is level four 0%. Upgrading to level five requires 4000 soul fragments.
Killing Danzo got 1100 fragments, plus defeating more than a hundred Root organization ninjas, and Linto's previous surplus. Currently, the total is:
3810 pieces.
"Still lacking 190 pieces."
Linto is about to launch an action against Yagura in Kirigakure. In order not to attract attention in advance, he cannot hunt for rewards like he used to.
"Where can I get 190 fragments?"
"If there was a fairly well-known ninja, it would be good to beat him up..."
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly met eyes with Zabuza opposite him.
Linto grinned honestly:
"Hehe."
