After finishing off the fight, I was going to leave, but sensed both AO and Mei. 'Why haven't they escaped yet?' I thought and waited there to see what they are planning to do.

Mei thought for some time and said "AO, let's go and recruit him to the resistance." AO without a thought shook his head "He's too dangerous Mei Sama" he said. "But he slaughtered Yagura's men and also let us escape. He must be Yagura's enemy. Also he's so strong if we recruit him, we can move our plans ahead". She then thought to herself 'He's handsome too'. And smirked.

I was waiting to see what those two will do, but didn't see than move for some time. So I flickered in next to them and asked "Why didn't you escape?". Both Mei and AO were startled seeing me appear next to them and fell on their backs. Mei regained her composure and standing back up spoke "Wow!!You startled us".

I smiled at her and asked again "Why are you still here?" AO was just sweating bullets seeing me. Mei spoke "Who are you really?" I answered "Just a wandering merchant". Mei furrowed her eyebrows at that and then said "Ok. Fine. You won't tell us. I just want to ask you what enmity you have against the mist village?"

I shook my head smiling "I don't have any enemy against the village. They attacked me and I defended myself." Mei nodded and asked "Fine. But do you want to join the resistance against the tyrannical rule of Yagura and help us overthrow him?"

Listening to her, I thought 'Should I help them overthrow him? If I help them, Obito might show up to help Yagura. Then I can catch him". I then turned towards Mei who was waiting with anticipation and asked "And what would I get in return if I join this resistance?" Mei started thinking and spoke "After we gain control of the village, you can ask for anything you want".

As soon as she said that, I wanted to tease her. So I checked her out up and down 'Damn she's hot'. I thought and asked in a playful voice "Anything?" She blushed a little and replied coming close to my face "Anything you want".

Listening to her, I smiled as I accepted "Ok. I'll help you overthrow him". AO was surprised hearing me agreeing to help them. Mei just smiled and said "Ok then. Follow us. We'll go to our safe house and discuss the plans".

As I just killed hundreds of mist Shinobi, she didn't doubt that I was Yagura's spy. She thought that I was a S rank Rogue ninja of some village, but she needed all the help she could get. Also everyday, Yagura would hunt down the Resistance as well as any other Shinobi with Kekkei Genkai. She wanted to stop this madness as fast as she can. So she didn't mind receiving help even from a rogue Ninja.

AO wasn't like that. He had a very hard time trusting others and didn't want to ask for help from someone outside of the land of Water, but he could only follow Mei's wishes as he was just her subordinate at this time. So he sighed and accepted her decision.

I followed Mei and AO as they moved ahead. AO then got close to Mei and whispered "Mei Sama, can we trust this guy and take him to our base? He's dangerous and nobody can stop him if he were to attack our base".

Mei nodded "It's fine AO. I'm sure he's not person from the land of water. He must be a rogue ninja of some village. Also we need all the help we can get. Be it a rogue ninja or a criminal, he's super strong and can maybe hold his own against Yagura. Don't you think so?"

AO spoke "You are right about him being able to hold his own against Yagura. At the moment he killed the Shinobis, for a second, he unleashed his chakra and It was like nothing like I have ever seen before. He's on a whole another level. That's why I'm afraid of letting him join us." Mei replied nonchalantly "Don't worry too much Ao. Everything will work out fine. Besides He's handsome".

I heard all their conversations as I followed them. With my heightened senses after permanently opening the 6th gate, I could almost hear anything very far away if I wished to. I chuckled inwardly after hearing Mei say that everything is all right because I'm handsome.

We travelled for some time and reached a small village in the outskirts of the Mist village. As we got near the entrance of the village, I noticed many shinobis hiding everywhere. I then went near Mei and said "There are many Shinobi hidden." Mei looked surprised as she asked "You can sense them?"

I nodded "A total of 32 jonin, 18 elite Jonin, 600 chunin and two Kage level ninjas are present in this place. I told her by sensing the presence of the entire small village. Mei was shocked as she opened her mouth so wide that an whole egg could be stuffed inside her mouth. I teased her "If you open your mouth so wide, I can see everything inside".

She abruptly closed her mouth as she said "Naughtu guy aren't you". I just smirked. AO was ahead speaking to the guard at the entrance. After that, AO returned and nodded at Mei. And the three of us entered the village.
