"I didn't expect to see you two again in this way." Uchiha Makoto stood up and took off the cat-face mask on his face.
After finishing speaking, he hurried to the side of the pharmacist Nonoyu and measured her breathing and pulse. He was relieved to see that she was just unconscious.
"Don't worry, I...I used medical ninjutsu to give her emergency treatment. She will wake up soon." One of the girls who was protecting the pharmacist Nonou just now said softly.
Hearing this, Uchiha Makoto nodded and smiled: "Thank you very much!"
"No...you're welcome..." Looking at Uchiha Makoto's handsome face so close at hand, the girl's face turned red and her tongue was immediately tied.
"We can't stay here for long, let's talk somewhere else!" Uchiha Makoto picked up Yakushi Nonou and faced Terumi Mei and Aomichi on the side.
"Yeah." Terumi Mei nodded.
The group of six people left immediately.
Less than two hours after they left, a large number of ninjas arrived, but there was only a piece of scorched earth and corpses everywhere.
...
Uchiha Makoto, Terumi Mei and other six people came to a cave to rest.
Uchiha Makoto, Terumi Mei, and Ao sat around the campfire. The two accompanying female ninjas, Ye Zi and Junko, went to look after the unconscious pharmacist Nonou.
"I wonder what you two are doing in the Land of Thunder?" Uchiha Makoto was the first to break the silence.
Kirigakure has always been closed to the outside world, why would he suddenly think of forming an alliance with Kumogakure?
"Why did you come to the Land of Thunder?" Ao didn't answer Uchiha Makoto's question, but asked him instead.
However, Qing's attitude was very respectful. After all, Uchiha Makoto had proven the power of the 'Wind Control Sword' many times.
"Help!" Uchiha Makoto answered Ao's question and looked at the pharmacist Nonou who was lying on the mat next to him.
"What's your relationship with her?" Terumi Mei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
Uchiha Makoto raised his head and saw an inexplicable look in the girl's green eyes.
Terumi Mei saw him raise his head and looked at him without any shyness as he explained.
It was Uchiha Makoto who was defeated first and said: "Her name is Pharmacist Nonou, and she is the director of Konoha Welfare Institute."
Seeing a look of doubt on Ao's face, Uchiha Makoto did not hide it and said:
"She was a member of the ANBU before, but this time she was coerced by the elders and forced to perform a spy mission.
I was entrusted by a child in the orphanage to help him bring the director back. "
"Is it because of this? You entered the Kingdom of Thunder alone?" Terumi Mei's eyes showed a curious look.
Makoto Uchiha was nothing like the so-called geniuses she saw in the village.
"That's not all. If I want to accept that child as a disciple, I naturally have to ask for the dean's permission.
As a teacher, you should naturally try to satisfy your disciple’s first wish.
It happened that the village had another mission to patrol the border, so I came.
Uchiha Makoto smiled slightly, and then asked: "What about you? Doesn't Kirigakure Village hardly communicate with the outside world?
Why did you suddenly think of forming an alliance with Kumogakure? "
"Something happened in the village, so the senior management changed the previous closed policy." Qing's words were relatively vague.
"Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village are currently the strongest among the five major countries. If Kirigakure wants to change the past closed policy and seek allies among the five major countries, it is natural to form an alliance with the two strongest ones.
So the village sent two missions to Konoha and Kumogakure respectively.
Although Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village are still in a state of hostility, Kirigakure never thought that he could really form an alliance with both villages at the same time.
The best result is naturally to successfully form an alliance with one of the villages.
Judging from the results, Kumogakure failed. Not only that, they also wanted to frame Iwagakure. "
According to the time, my father and the others should have arrived in Konoha. "
Mei Terumi spoke more directly, telling the whole story about the purpose of her trip.
Qing on the side kept giving her glances, but she turned a blind eye.
Terumi Mei pointed to the pharmacist Nonou on the side, and continued: "As for saving her, it was a complete coincidence.
She is being hunted by three ninjas, who we happen to meet.
After learning that she was a Konoha ninja, he thought of rescuing her first, which would be considered a favor to Konoha.
After all, if they form an alliance, Konoha is naturally Kirigakure's best choice.
But I didn't expect that dozens of Kumogakure ninjas pretending to be Iwagakure would come later.
Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for arriving in time to save us.
Without you, even if we could escape the enemy's siege, there would probably be casualties.
And he will definitely abandon Yakushi Nonoyu. "
Terumi Mei's directness was something Uchiha Makoto didn't expect.
But to be honest, he likes a down-to-earth person like Terumi Mei.
In other words, Terumi Mei is also a smart person.
After all, when he returns to the village, he will naturally know that Kirigakure has sent people to the village. For someone like Qing who is hesitating, it is better to explain things directly.
Of course, maybe Terumi Mei didn't think so deeply.
But whether she is the former or the latter, Uchiha Makoto likes both practical and smart people.
Uchiha Makoto looked at Terumi Mei's beautiful face and said with a smile:
"Anyway, you all saved Medicine Master Nonoyu, so we are even."
"You can't say that? You saved my father last time. I haven't thanked you properly yet. I didn't expect that this time it would be the same as last time."
"Maybe it's fate."
"Maybe."
...
Feeling the natural and harmonious atmosphere between Uchiha Makoto and Terumi Mei's conversation, Ao was a little surprised. Although Mei Mei was gentle and friendly to others, he was not usually a talkative person, so why did he keep talking today.
The conversation between the two was natural and smooth, like friends who had known each other for a long time. One sentence after another, he couldn't even interrupt.
"After Yuya-sama was attacked last time, I wonder what happened to Kirigakure? Have your internal problems been solved?" Uchiha Makoto said with a smile.
"Since the Fourth Mizukage-sama, he..."
"Cough cough cough cough cough!"
Terumi Mei subconsciously answered Uchiha Makoto's question according to the habit of chatting, and Ao next to her suddenly coughed violently.
Only then did Terumi Mei react, and she gave Uchiha Makoto an angry look.
Somehow, she always felt that Uchiha Makoto had a temperament that made people feel close to him.
Although she admitted that Uchiha Makoto's appearance was her favorite type, as the eldest lady of the Terumi clan and the future clan leader, she would naturally not be a nymphomaniac.
It's just Uchiha Makoto's mysterious temperament and the deeds spread in the ninja world that Terumi Mei can't help but want to know about him.
Uchiha Makoto smiled after enduring Terumi Mei's eye roll.
He just wanted to test it a little bit, and the girl's reaction made him feel very interesting.
Considering Kirigakure's behavior this time, and the fact that Obito was seriously injured and dying before, it is very likely that the genjutsu on the Fourth Mizukage was unlocked in advance, which triggered a series of chain reactions in Kirigakure.
And this is not a bad thing. Now that the fourth generation of Konoha is in power, there is a high possibility of forming an alliance with Kirigakure.
I don't expect Kirigakure to be a helper, I just hope that if Konoha and Kumogakure go to war, Kirigakure will not cause trouble.
"Why have you been looking at me?" Terumi Mei's gentle and melodious voice brought Uchiha Makoto out of his thoughts.
It turned out that when he was in a daze just now, he had been staring at Terumi Mei.
"It's nothing. When I think about problems, I habitually look at the scenery." Uchiha Makoto explained.
He usually likes to look into the distance when thinking about problems, but now in the cave, Terumi Mei and Qing are sitting opposite, so it is naturally impossible for him to stare at Qing.
"How can there be any wind in the cave..." Terumi was halfway through her words when she suddenly came to her senses. She held her chin with one hand and looked at Uchiha Makoto with steady eyes.
Is he talking about me?
Was he so good at it?
Terumi Mei was naturally used to being praised for her talent and appearance, but this was the first time she looked so casual like Uchiha Makoto.
Maybe he just said this subconsciously, but he spoke from his heart.
It's really...
"Ahem..." At this moment, a slight cough came from the side.
Terumi Mei came back to her senses and glared at Qing next to her.
Qing looked at her innocently and shook his head repeatedly.
It turns out that the pharmacist Nonoyu woke up.
"Dean Nonou, are you awake?! How do you feel?" Uchiha Makoto came to the side of the pharmacist Nonou.
