Chapter 147 Confrontation and Battle Begins
The reason why Uchiha Feiyu was able to feel pain in the illusion was because he was afraid that after the pain was really weakened, Mei Terumi would develop the habit of exchanging injuries for others.
In this fantasy space, there is certainly nothing wrong with that way of fighting. If you play like this in reality, you will probably kill the enemy quickly but die even faster.
In the illusionary space, Mei Terumi did not train for several years. After only one year of training, she had already developed her potential to the limit and had extremely rich combat experience.
Although continuing to fight would gain some combat experience, it would not have much effect on increasing strength, so Uchiha Feiyu ended the illusion directly.
When Mei Terumi woke up again, she looked at the ceiling in front of her and felt as if she was in another world.
Clearly only a few seconds had passed in reality, but she had already practiced hard in the illusion space for a year, and even her strength had improved significantly. Even though there was no change in her chakra amount and physical fitness, her actual combat power was incomparable to what she was a few seconds ago.
However, Mei Terumi was only in a trance for a moment before she came back to her senses. In the illusion space, she didn't feel anything, but in reality, she only felt her body was cold, slippery, and wet, which was quite uncomfortable.
"Are you awake?! If you are, get dressed quickly and get ready to take up the position of the Fourth Mizukage!"
Uchiha Feiyu patted Terumi Mei on the chest, and five red marks appeared immediately, which also made Terumi Mei come back to her senses completely.
After waking up, Mei Terumi climbed down from the bed, used water jutsu to clean her body, and then quickly put on her clothes.
After putting on her clothes, Mei Terumi still had time to fix her makeup. Uchiha Feiyu, who had been waiting impatiently, took out a gourd, poured out some pills from it, and stuffed them to Mei Terumi:
"These pills can be used to increase your physical fitness. When your physical fitness improves, your chakra amount will also increase."
As for the elixirs and soul energy that actually increase chakra, they also have an effect on Uchiha Feiyu himself and had long been absorbed by him.
In the past few years, Uchiha Feiyu did not seem to have done anything big in the ninja world, but in fact, thanks to the sacrifices of Orochimaru and the Kusagakure Village, both his spiritual energy and chakra have increased significantly. Even the black energy used for sacrifice has increased to several thousand.
Most of the blood and qi elixirs refined by the Hunyuan Treasure Box were given to the sacrificed ninjas as motivation for them to continue working. However, even if only a few tenths were deducted, it would still be a considerable number of elixirs. Now Uchiha Feiyu took out a lot of them and fed them directly to Terumi Mei.
After the pill entered her stomach, Terumi Mei only felt her body tremble slightly, and a huge warm current flowed through her internal organs and limbs, making her sweat in an instant.
In just a few moments, Mei Terumi's energy and blood surged nearly times. Her physical fitness, nerve reaction, bone strength, and endurance all underwent earth-shaking changes. Along with the increase in physical strength, the amount of chakra in her body also surged by 50% again.
"It feels so powerful... I've never felt so good!"
Clenching her fists, a hint of confidence appeared on Terumi Mei's face. With her current strength, let alone a baby-faced guy like Yagura, Terumi Mei is confident that she can defeat the Third Mizukage completely!
The improvement of basic qualities is the most difficult thing for a ninja. On the contrary, abilities such as ninjutsu are skills after all, and as long as the ninja's talent is strong enough, they can be mastered quickly.
With Mei Terumi's current basic qualities, she has already surpassed her in the original timeline, during the Fourth Ninja World War, by a considerable distance.
The fighting power she can display will definitely not be the last among the five Kage in the original work. She will only be slightly better than the young man Gaara. Her stronger physical fitness can make up for her lack of physical skills, and the higher amount of chakra can also greatly increase the power of her ninjutsu.
"Okay... I think the war has already started outside. I don't want my medicinal fields to suffer too much damage. I'll leave the rest to you!"
In response to Uchiha Feiyu's order, Terumi Mei just nodded confidently, lifted her long hair, and walked out the door.
Uchiha Feiyu also followed behind Terumi Mei and slowly disappeared.
At this moment, at the entrance of the Mizukage Building of the Mist Village, the ninjas of the Snow Clan and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen have almost gathered, but it is obvious that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are at a disadvantage in this regard.
You must know that the patriarch of the Snow Clan was the Mizukage, who was killed by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen without any explanation or warning, which naturally caused anxiety and resistance among a large number of ninjas.
If the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had already made a series of preparations, after killing the Mizukage, they would have directly raided the Snow Clan, split and disintegrated the core forces of the Third Mizukage, and annihilated them, they might have been able to barely stabilize the situation in the Mist Village for a while.
However, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen now seemed to be mentally ill. They killed the Third Mizukage without any preparation, and did not try to cover it up, completely exposing their ambitions...
Of course, for most ninjas in the Mist, they didn't think there was anything wrong with the actions of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. After all, there were many ninjas with bad brains in the Mist. Isn't it normal that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who were called the representatives of the Blood Mist, had abnormal brains?
There were also ninjas who felt that something was wrong, but even the Third Mizukage was dead, and these ninjas had no way to save the current situation. The only way to minimize the losses of the ninja village was to quickly annihilate the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and their forces.
This also led to the fact that after an hour of confrontation, nearly half of the Mist Ninjas had stood on the opposite side of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and some ninjas chose not to help either side and chose to watch the situation.
"These guys...are they crazy? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that we have the upper hand! Why are they still so confident?"
Yagura, who had a baby face, frowned and looked at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen opposite him with some confusion.
The ninjas under the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were all cowering, but the Seven themselves looked fearless, as if they had the upper hand.
"Forget it, never mind all that! No matter what, since they have committed such a heinous act as killing the Mizukage, none of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen can be kept alive..."
"Ahem...wait a minute..."
Amidst the violent coughing, a bald old man who looked very old walked over with a cane decorated with a poisonous snake in his hand.
"Master Yuanshi...you are here too!"
Yagura spoke respectfully. As the third-generation elder who founded the ninja village together with the first Hokage, although the master himself had declined to the limit in strength due to his age and might not even be able to defeat a Chunin, his experience and connections were undoubtedly the mainstay of the entire Mist Village.
"We have to come... These seven guys must have been controlled by someone using illusions!" Master Yuan sighed and said helplessly. As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Mist Village exploded:
"What? The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are controlled by illusions! How is this possible?!"
"Hmm... it's really strange to say... when did these seven guys become so united? Theoretically, when seven people get together, shouldn't they insult each other or even fight each other?"
"Being controlled by illusions, indeed, that makes sense. Moreover, even the Mizukage has been controlled by illusions before, so it is quite normal for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to be controlled by illusions!"
As many people were discussing, the ninjas behind the Seven Ninja Swordsmen looked at each other in bewilderment. At this time, a ninja with a shark face frowned and asked Xiguashan Pufferfish Ghost:
"Master Xiguashan, are you really conscious now?"
The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost grinned, and suddenly turned around and swung the big knife Samehada in his hand. The sharp fishbone, like a mace, directly broke free from the white cloth wrapped around the blade, making a sinister tearing sound.
The shark-faced ninja standing behind the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost narrowed his eyes slightly, and retreated rapidly, but the big knife still left a tiny bloody wound on his chest.
"Are you doubting me?! Hoshigaki Kisame!"
The ninja named Hoshigaki Kisame took several steps back, and after he stood firm, he coldly wiped the blood off his chest and licked it with his tongue:
"It seems like something is wrong with you! You weren't so irritable before, and you weren't so shallow."
"Hehehe, think whatever you want! Anyway, I just want to turn this Mist Village upside down!"
As soon as Xiguashan Puffer Ghost said this, the group of ninjas behind the Seven Ninja Swordsmen immediately retreated slowly. These ninjas followed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen with the idea of following the dragon, thinking that they could bring them more benefits after the Seven Ninja Swordsmen came to power, but they did not really want to destroy the entire village.
In just a moment, there were no other ninjas around the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. The feelings between the Mist Ninjas were already weak, not to mention that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were also the representatives of the Blood Mist. Of course, there were no good people who could follow them, and it was normal for them to withdraw when they saw things were not going well.
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were also controlled by someone using illusions... Damn it, who did it?! Could it be another Uchiha from Konoha?"
Yagura angrily waved the weapon in his hand. It was an iron rod with a curved hook, which looked quite strange.
"Anyway, it's not an ordinary illusion. If it weren't for Qing's Byakugan, I'm afraid that few people in the entire ninja village would be able to notice that something is wrong with them."
"From now on, all high-ranking officials in the ninja village must undergo regular illusion checks. From the Mizukage to the ordinary jonin, they must all undergo checks before they can carry out their missions!"
The master spoke a few words firmly, and Yagura nodded slowly with an unpleasant expression, picked up the weapon in his hand and said:
"Let me try first to see if I can resolve the illusions on these guys!"
"You can't defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen by yourself... Let Bubble join forces with you!"
After he finished speaking, a young ninja with a handsome face and a leisurely expression walked out from behind the master. He glanced at Yagura, nodded slightly, and then looked at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Yagura was stunned for a moment, looking at the bubble that was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and suddenly seemed to think of something:
"You are... a Jinchūriki?!"
He nodded slightly, and said in a light and cold voice:
"Yes, I am the Jinchuriki of the Vulpix."
The existence of the Jinchūriki is top secret in any ninja village. Even though Yagura has become a candidate for the Fourth Mizukage, he did not know that the handsome young man in front of him was actually the Jinchūriki of his own village.
Yagura was still a little skeptical about the strength of this Jinchūriki, but then he thought that he had been able to suppress the Vulpix for so many years and had never let the Vulpix run rampage in the village. This talent itself showed the strength of Bubble.
"Okay, let's go together..."
"Master Yuan, wait a minute, add me in!"
A clear voice echoed, and Yagura and Paopao both turned around, just in time to see a charming girl walking towards them with a smile on her face.
"Ming?! Why are you here too?"
The master said with some surprise. Unlike Bubble, the Jinchūriki who had been living in seclusion in the village, Mei Terumi was still a famous genius ninja in the Mist Village even though she had hidden her bloodline limit. In addition, with her gorgeous appearance and mature and noble temperament, she was almost known to everyone in the Mist Village.
"Mei Terumi, what is this woman doing here?"
Yagura frowned. Although Mei Terumi was quite famous in the Mist Village, in his opinion, her strength was just so-so. She could be called a genius, but she was definitely no match for the Ninja Swordsmen now.
The Master knew more. He knew that Mei Terumi had already synthesized a bloodline limit and was not much weaker than the ones ranked lower among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen. However, he also did not think there was any benefit for Mei Terumi to participate in this battle.
"Hey, hey, hey, have you guys finished discussing? I gave you a little time, but you guys keep talking endlessly, right? You're actually treating us like commodities... Be careful or I'll chop you to death!"
The one who spoke was Hei Chu Lei Ya who was holding the thunder knife. As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the pair of thunder knives in his hands. Terrifying lightning shot out from the thunder knives and struck Yuan Shi directly!
"Master Yuan!"
"Black Hoe Thunder Fang, how dare you!!"
"Be careful!!"
The speed of the lightning was so fast that even Yagura and Paopao were unable to react. If the lightning struck them, they would have been able to deal with it, but they never expected that Hei Chu Lei Ya's first move would be directed at Yuan Shi!
It happened in a flash. Just when the lightning was about to hit Master Yuan's head, Terumi Mei also waved her jade hand, and a semicircular wall of water instantly rose from the ground.
