Terumi Mei didn't expect Whitebeard's behavior to be so domineering.
The two choices in front of her made it difficult for her to choose.
In Terumi Mei's original plan.....
She did have the idea of getting something for nothing.
This is her Plan A.
If Whitebeard doesn't follow this plan, then Plan A is directly scrapped. Terumi Mei seamlessly transitions to Plan B.....to cooperate with Whitebeard in the form of hiring, spending money to pull Whitebeard into her faction. camp
Although this will cost a lot of money.
But as long as the goal can be achieved, no matter how big the price is, it can be accepted.
It seems that Plan B has succeeded.
But the problem is.....
Only half succeeded.
In Terumi Mei's envisioned Plan B.....she spends money to hire Whitebeard, then she should be in the dominant position.
Her identity and voice are like the Party A in business talks, and Whitebeard, who takes money to do things, is like the Party B in business talks.
That is to say, in the cooperation relationship between the two parties, the person with the most say should be her, Terumi Mei.
Whitebeard needs to take money to do things according to her plan.
But Whitebeard's domineering character is beyond imagination.
The other party actually turned the tables!
"Whitebeard-dono, we have been preparing for this plan for many years." Terumi Mei emphasized: "None of us want any flaws in the plan, because one carelessness will lead to a total loss."
"Gurarararararara! What does this have to do with me?" Whitebeard grinned, blocking the words that Terumi Mei was about to say.
"Kirigakure brat, so.....you want to have a negotiation greeting that belongs to the men of the sea?" Whitebeard asked.
"I actually don't want to have a conflict, but..."
Terumi Mei said seriously: "If it involves that plan, I won't let any flaws appear in the plan!"
She made a seal.
Terumi Mei said solemnly: "I can probably guess what you mean by 'greeting', Whitebeard-dono If the right to speak between us needs to be fought for in this way, then it seems I have to fight for it."
"Gurararararara! You little brat are interesting."
Whitebeard raised his eyebrows.
"Then let me see your capacity, Kirigakure brat!"
Whitebeard decisively made a move.
Even Terumi Mei, who was on guard, didn't expect.....
Whitebeard made a move so hastily.
She just saw...Whitebeard mercilessly slashing his naginata forward without mercy!
It's hard to imagine that such a big naginata, in Whitebeard's hand, is as light as a feather, and the speed of the stab is extremely fast!
Terumi Mei was greatly surprised.
Her face changed drastically.
She hurriedly jumped up, narrowly avoiding Murakumogiri. But one of her shoes on her left foot was cut open by the blade of Murakumogiri, revealing a tender foot as white as jade with clear toes.
"Hey, little kid! Stay away!" While making the seal, Terumi Mei reminded Naruto.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!!!"
She had already completed the seal.
And opened her mouth!
From her small mouth, she actually spat out a huge stream of water. One end of the stream of water turned into a ferocious dragon head in the blink of an eye. The huge dragon head was even bigger than a house.
The roaring water dragon, with the sound of surging waves.
It went straight to Whitebeard!
This is the most exaggerated Water Release Ninjutsu that Whitebeard has ever seen.
The few Kirigakure NInjas he had met before were not as good as this Kirigakure little brat named "Terumi Mei".
Whitebeard's thoughts flashed through his mind, but his hand movements did not stop.
He slashed out with a knife!
Without using his Devil Fruit ability, and even without using Haki, this naginata actually cut the huge water dragon into two!
Murakumogiri cut open the water dragon and the air.
A huge slash visible to the naked eye flew out with the power to destroy everything.
Terumi Mei's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinholes.
"Ninja Art: Water Replacement Jutsu!"
Swish!
The slash instantly shattered her body, but there was no blood splatter, only water splashes flew out.
"That was close..."
Terumi Mei landed not far away.
Cold sweat dripped from her forehead.
Her face full of lingering fear.
When she turned her head to look, she saw the slash that Whitebeard had just made, which had actually torn a trench in the ground.
The trench was several meters wide at least.
The length was hard to see with the naked eye.
Unbelievable!
"Is this the 'Destroyer of Nations... Edward Newgate'? Terumi Mei's murmuring tone was full of shock: "Is this the way pirates 'greet' each other?"
If her reaction was just a little bit slower...
Their cooperation could have ended.
Because .....
A slower reaction means decapitation!
"Kirigakure brat! Are you looking down on me by being distracted in battle?" Whitebeard's voice suddenly rang out, making Terumi Mei almost lose her breath, because the source of the voice was too close.
The corner of her eye caught a glimpse of Whitebeard's body, which had somehow appeared in front of her.
They were close at hand.
"Not good!" Terumi Mei was horrified.
Buuuzzzzzz...
The blade of Murakumogiri's slash made her feel a sense of death, and she dodged it in a very embarrassing posture.
She narrowly avoided it again.
But the turbulent wind rolled up by Murakumogiri's slash.
Blew her away.
Terumi Mei quickly stabilized her body and landed on the ground, but saw another slash coming. She didn't understand what kind of Ninjutsu this was, that could be instantly released with one slash, and without the need for hand seals?
But since this is Ninjutsu, it must be composed of chakra.
In that case...
"Lava Release: Lava Weasel Jutsu!"
Terumi Mei revealed one of her Kekkei Genkai.
She spat out a large lump of mucus.
As Terumi Mei shook her head, the corrosive mucus flew out like a weasel's slash.
Two huge "slashes" collided.
Boom!!!!!
Under Terumi Mei's unbelievable gaze, the slash that Whitebeard had made directly cut through her Kekkei Genkai Ninjutsu.
"How is it possible? My Lava Release Kekkei Genkai can corrode other people's chakra, could it be that his slash is not Ninjutsu?"
Terumi Mei was shocked: "He didn't even use chakra?"
Are you kidding me
She watched as Whitebeard's slash tore another trench in the ground, and a building not far away was easily cut in half.
Terumi Mei's eyelids were twitching, and the brief exchange had made her realize that she might not be a match for Whitebeard.
Currently, Terumi Mei does not possess the Kage level combat power she will have ten years later, and she is merely an elite Jonin in Kirigakure Village.
She seriously doubts that Whitebeard is showing mercy because of the 50 million down payment...
If it weren't for that sudden strike at the very beginning.
It would have been enough to take her life.
"Please wait!" Terumi Mei's survival instinct was instantly maxed out.
She didn't want to lose her life because of a bout.
Rationality also made her hurriedly speak up: "Whitebeard-dono, I think we have 'talked' clearly."
Terumi Mei is very clear that it is easy to invite Buddha but difficult to send Buddha away.
She also knows that if she terminates the cooperation with Whitebeard, the other party is unlikely to agree.
Yes!
When Whitebeard showed his overwhelming strength, Terumi Mei had already realized that she didn't even have the chance to terminate the cooperation.
She was destined to be led by the nose by the other party.
Although the situation is completely different from what she initially imagined, there is no turning back now.
In that case...
Take a gamble!
"Phew! Please Whitebeard-dono and your Whitebeard Pirates make all the leading decisions." Terumi Mei bowed her head.
The gap in strength between the two parties left her without a bit of say.
She felt that she had made a wrong move in this chess game, and even if it meant using the money to hire the Akatsuki organization, it would be better than hiring Whitebeard's pirate crew.
At least, the Akatsuki organization should not interfere too much with her plan.
The other party will only take money to do things... well, probably like this?
....
A few minutes later.
Because of the big commotion caused by Whitebeard and Terumi Mei.
Kakashi, Uzumaki Fuushi, Karin, Uchiha Shisui, these four people noticed the commotion and hurried over.
Then, Kakashi learned some dumbfounding news from the excited Uzumaki Naruto.
"Hold on! We're going to Kirigakure Village to participate in a coup?" Kakashi's eyes were wide open, he looked at Whitebeard, and then at Terumi Mei, his thoughts were in a mess.
Kakashi was just teaching Karin the Three Body Technique.
Then, he suddenly felt a violent commotion coming from a distance, and also saw a huge water dragon from afar.
At that time, he realized that something had happened.
Because that was where Naruto was.
Kakashi didn't have time to think too much, he just rushed in that direction.
When he got here.
Kakashi saw Naruto, who was unharmed, and also saw Whitebeard, and saw a strange Kirigakure ninja.
At first, he thought this Kirigakure was an enemy.
But the words that Naruto said...
Made him dumbfounded.
"You are the Copy Ninja Kakashi from Konohagakure Village?" Terumi Mei's eyes suddenly lit up, Kakashi is also a little famous in the ninja world: "You are actually a companion of Whitebeard-dono?"
Kakashi just wanted to explain a bit.
But suddenly remembered.
Even if he deliberately explains that he is not a companion of Whitebeard, it seems to be of no use. After all, in order to monitor Whitebeard and Naruto, he must follow them.
In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, if he is not their companion, what else can he be?
"Great!"
Terumi Mei didn't notice anything wrong with Kakashi's expression.
She just felt that she had finally made a big profit.
This is a comfort to her.
"With the addition of Kakashi the Copy Ninja Sharingan, our chances of success can be raised a bit." Terumi Mei took another look at Uzumaki Fuushi, she didn't know Uzumaki Fuushi.
Then she turned her gaze to Uchiha Shisui.
This face also looks familiar.
It made her suddenly stunned.
"Shisui of the Body Flicker!" Terumi Mei recognized Shisui, and she was shocked again.
She found that the lineup of Whitebeard's pirate crew to be quite strange!
Why are there...
Two Konohagakure ninjas in the Whitebeard Pirates?
Terumi Mei did indeed collect information in advance before coming to the shipyard, but the information she could collect was very limited. She only knew that Whitebeard was not alone, but she didn't know the identities of the people around Whitebeard.
She assumed that the people around Whitebeard must be the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates, right?
But it seems now
She guessed wrong.
Kakashi didn't care about Terumi Mei's expression and mental changes.
He said to Whitebeard: "Whitebeard, the Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water is different from the Kusagakure Village in the Land of Grass. Although both are ninja villages, there is a difference in strength and weakness."
"If the Whitebeard Pirates join forces with the rogue ninjas of Kirigakure Village, and even cooperate with them to launch a rebellion in Kirigakure Village, this will inevitably offend a ninja village to death."
Kakashi was trying to explain the seriousness of the problem.
But the next second, he was interrupted by Terumi Mei: "I think you must have misunderstood something, I am not a rogue ninja from Kirigakure Village."
Terumi Mei explained: "And the coup I want to launch is not to overthrow Kirigakure Village, but to overthrow the Fourth Mizukage."
"Kakashi-dono, you should be able to distinguish the difference." Terumi Mei continued: "You should also be clear about the blood mist policy of Kirigakure Village, and how much pain it has brought to Kirigakure Village."
"That..." Uchiha Shisui raised his hand.
He interjected: "Although I am not from your Kirigakure Village, I think the contradictions in a village should not be resolved by force, perhaps there are other ways to solve it?"
Uchiha Shisui unconsciously thought of Konohagakure.
He also thought of their Uchiha clan.
Although this happened a bit hastily, Shisui could still associate the similarities between Kirigakure Village and Konohagakure Village.
The coup rebellion prepared by Terumi Mei....
It's like the Uchiha clan's coup.
"If you truly love this village, you should not use this extreme method, but a gentle way to solve it." Shisui wanted to give advice, but found that he didn't know much about Kirigakure Village, so he could only say so much.
"Shisui of the Body Flicker... Are you really from the Uchiha clan?" Terumi Mei looked at Uchiha Shisui with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Shisui was taken aback.
"What you said... It's af if you are not the Uchiha clan member at all." Terumi Mei told the truth.
During the Third Ninja World War, Terumi Mei had contact with the Uchiha clan's ninjas, and those Uchiha clan people were very extreme, definitely mentally ill.
But the words of Uchiha Shisui in front of her, is different from the Uchiha clan in her impression.
Uchiha member but not too extreme?
"We have tried many methods, but they are all useless." Terumi Mei took a deep breath: "And the reason why our Kirigakure Village has become like this, is also related to your Uchiha clan."
Shisui: "Aaah???"
It's like even if you are sitting at home and doing nothing,
But trouble comes out of nowhere.
"Although those high-level people said that this is a secret of Kirigakure Village, I don't think there is anything wrong with saying it." Terumi Mei said: "Our Fourth Mizukage was once controlled by Sharingan, and it wasn't until a few years ago that we found something wrong.
Kakashi: "!!!"
Shisui: "!!!"
"Under the control of Sharingan, the Fourth Mizukage intensified the blood mist policy, and the entire ninja village and even the country were under extreme pressure, until this matter was discovered by the high-level people of Kirigakure. We used a secret technique to rescue the Fourth Mizukage from the Sharingan Genjutsu."
Here Terumi Mei refers to "Ao" using Byakugan to discover the clues of the Fourth Mizukage, and then took action to remove the Sharingan Genjutsu.
"But..." Terumi Mei's tone changed: "The Fourth Mizukage didn't change much, the blood mist policy eased for a year and then returned to the original extreme pressure state."
"Even more intense, causing many ninjas in the village to not be able to bear it, a large number of Kirigakure ninjas began to rebel against the village."
"We don't know what the reason is."
She clenched her teeth: "Now, the only way to save this village from the blood mist policy..."
Is to kill the Fourth Mizukage!!!
Shisui fell silent, he didn't expect that the situation in Kirigakure Village was actually related to their Uchiha clan.
Wait a minute!
He was also someone who could know a lot of internal news in the Uchiha clan. How come he didn't know that there was someone in the Uchiha clan who controlled the shadow of a ninja village?
He had never heard of this.
From Terumi Mei's tone, this didn't seem to be false
"But this is after all your Kirigakure Village's family affair."
Kakashi kept his mind calm.
Just as he was about to say something.
Whitebeard's voice rang out: "Gurararararara! Why are you ninja brats so twisted? Whitebeard's little white-haired brat, Uchiha's little brat... This is a decision made by the captain of the first team of my Whitebeard Pirates."
Whitebeard said loudly: "I am a pirate! My Whitebeard Pirates do whatever they want! We don't care with those broken rules of yours that are like playing house!"
"Pheeww..." Whitebeard's statement made Terumi Mei breathe a sigh of relief.
She could see that among this group of people, Whitebeard was the real decision-maker.
Whether it was Kakashi the Copy Ninja Sharingan.
Or Shisui of the Body Flicker.
None of them were as effective as Whitebeard's words.
".....Sorry." Kakashi's serious face faded away.
He returned to his listless fish face.
Whitebeard had spoken, what could he, a mobile piggy bank, say?
Sigh, this pirate group was getting him deeper and deeper into trouble.
He was afraid he couldn't get out from this.
Because Kakashi knew he had to stay with Naruto, if Whitebeard openly participated in the coup of Kirigakure Village, wouldn't that mean that he, Kakashi, was also forced to participate?
Kakashi looked at Terumi Mei.
He said something that made Terumi Mei a little confused: "Actually, you shouldn't have come to hire the Whitebeard Pirates. It's easy to get on the ship, but it's hard to get off."
The next moment, Whitebeard spoke: "Hey! Kirigakure brat, how long will it take to get to your Kirigakure Village from here?"
"Two days." Terumi Mei immediately replied.
"Gurara! Stupid son!" Whitebeard laughed at Naruto: "I will make an exception to allow you to rest for two days, you carry the pirate flag of the Whitebeard Pirates! In two days, the pirate flag of the Whitebeard Pirates will be inserted at the highest point of Kirigakure Village! We are going to invade Kirigakure Village! To plunder Kirigakure Village!"
"Okay! Pops!"
Naruto tried to straighten his waist, his little face full of excitement and excitement.
Terumi Mei's eyes widened.
Wait.... wait a minute!
Invade Kirigakure?
Plunder Kirigakure?
Isn't.....
This is a bit different from what was originally said!
"Wait a minute! Whitebeard-dono, the plan we originally envisioned is not like this." Terumi Mei hurriedly said: "And isn't it too fast, it's not the best time now, exposing the action so quickly, it's very likely to fail! We have to wait at least half a year....."
Her voice stopped abruptly as Whitebeard glanced at her.
The rest of the words were all stuck in her throat.
She couldn't say a word.
"Kirigakure brat, are you teaching the Whitebeard Pirates how to do things?" Whitebeard's words made Terumi Mei break out in a cold sweat.
The pressure of the Conqueror's Haki emanating from Whitebeard made Terumi Mei almost unable to breathe.
At this moment,
She finally understood what Kakashi's words...
What they really meant.
