Chapter 40 - 40. Ah! Youth

"How are you going to take over the village?

" Mei asked him as they all headed to Kirigakure. It was not too far from their current location.

n

"As I told you before, Zabuza will make a distraction and lure all shinobi out of the village, where I will be waiting. I won't kill them, just make them fall unconscious.

" Shiroken planned.

n

"AH, Grandpa, what will I be doing?

" Haku asked.

nShiroken's eye twitched,

"Haku, you can call me big brother Shiro now. And your job will be to finish the healthy salad I will give you to eat.

"

n

"But... how will that help?

" Haku inquired in confusion.

n

"Of course, if you eat healthily you will be stronger when you grow up and it will in return help Kirigakure and me,

" Shiroken said, making Haku fall deep into thinking.

nMei meanwhile was blushing and looking at his face. ~No matter how old he is, he's so hot. I wonder if he has a girlfriend~

n

"Lord Dama, how many people are in your family?

" Mei asked him.

nShiroken shrugged,

"Well, the amazing 9 Bijuu are obvious. I also have many more human family members.

"

n*Cough*

n

"I meant blood-related family.

" She corrected her question.

n

"Hmm, I don't know. I never knew my parents. The bijuu found me and raised me before I could even speak.

" Shiroken revealed.

nShisui and Mei understood one thing now. Shiroken was feeling how a child would feel if his parents were taken away from him. And in this case, they were enslaved.

n~Thank god he didn't become angry and tried to take revenge on the entire Shinobi world~ Shisui sighed, as he knew Shiroken's true power.

nMei didn't know that and she only felt sympathy for him. She would try to help him if it meant having a peaceful village.

n

"Are you going to take the bijuu from each village?

" She asked.

nShiroken didn't answer straightforwardly,

"The answer should be very obvious by now.

"

nIt was indeed very obvious. They silently proceeded further.

nSlowly, they started to notice some mist surrounding them. And as they travelled further, the mist started to get thicker. Befitting to the name, the village was really hidden in the mist.

n

"I know a place for watching the village from a safe distance. There are many tall peaks around the village.

" Mei suggested and took the lead.

nShe made them circumvent the village border and brought them on top of a very steep mountain. Little Haku was having trouble climbing it so Shiroken had to carry him on his back.

nOn the desolate and barren mountain, they stood there overlooking the village not too far. It was covered in mist, but Shiroken could see it clearly. He noted the architecture. Kirigakure's architecture was composed of several cylindrical buildings, with the Mizukage's office being the widest and largest. Most of the buildings had vegetation growing on their roofs.

nThe people calmly walked on the streets. But, there was this weird depressing aura around the whole village. It was as if there was no happiness. There was no hope.

n

"I can feel the cries of the people all the way from here. But, these are the same people who killed the Yuki clan just out of fear. They have been brainwashed to hate and to correct that, they need to be brainwashed to love again.

" He commented.

n

"How will you do that?

" Mei inquired.

nShiroken shrugged,

"That's not my job. Whoever becomes the next Mizukage has to do it. All I can do is bring economic prosperity. But that will only last as long as they don't wage war with that money. Because if they do, I won't mind erasing a village. I have the authority anyway.

"

n

"Next? Who will be the next Mizukage?

" she asked.

n

"Whoever passes the test I will create. Go, Zabuza. Lure them out. It's time they see your pretty face.

" Shiroken pushed the man. He had worn his bandages once again.

nMei on his side was thinking something else though,

"Can I also take the test?

"

nShiroken nodded while keeping an eye on where Zabuza went,

"Sure, anybody can take it. Even our little Haku. But I won't be letting him stay here. It will be dangerous. He will be sent to my territory, where he will get the best education and lots of friends to play with.

"

n

"Where is this territory of yours?

" she asked.

n

"Haha, you have been asking me questions for so long, girl. Tell me about yourself too.

" He diverted the topic.

nMei started blushing and held her arms in the front, squeezing her breasts and making them pop up more.

"Well, I am single, 22 years old...

"

n

"You said 23 the last time.

" Shisui interrupted.

n

"HEY! Kids stay silent when adults talk.

" She barked.

n

"I'm 18,

" He replied. And all of a sudden Mei's whole persona changed.

n

"Hehe, I was just joking. Yes, I am 23. But I look very young. My figure is 37-26-35. I am single, can sing very well and also dance.

" She added.

nShiroken chuckled.

"You are too horny, woman. You need to find yourself a man.

"

n

"That's what I am doing.

" She blurted in an instant, only to become shy next.

nShiroken and Shisui were left shocked. This woman was too shameless. Only Tenken was laughing.

n*cough*

nShiroken cleared his throat. He of course was attracted to the opposite gender, and Mei was absolutely stunning, but her age turned him off. He considered himself old because he had lived for too long. So he at least hoped that if he ever got involved with someone, it'd be with an older woman and not a kid.

n

"Shisui here is available. He's also from a very mighty clan, but I can't tell you the name yet.

" Shiroken threw Shisui under the cart.

nShisui's brows twitched. Although he was wearing a blindfold, his frown was still visible.

nMei checked Shisui out. ~Hmm, he's blind, but he's proficient in fighting. He's also cute and tall. Hmm, he should have a decently big tool too~

nShe decided to try him. She folded one arm under her boobs, lifting them up to show her cleavage. She extended one leg out of her long-sleeved, dark blue dress. Her mesh leggings became clearly visible, revealing her thick thighs.

nThen she lifted her other hand up and produced a small lava ball.

"So, what do you think about me? Wanna go out with me?

"

nHer charm was irresistible. Shiroken just looked to the other side, as her revealing body now made him feel things he had never before.

nBut Shisui looked left and right in confusion,

"What? What do you mean? What is she doing?

"

nTenken laughingly answered,

"BWAHAHA... She is making a seductive pose, trying to make you horny...

"

n

"But I'm blind,

" Shisui blurted.

nMei's arms fell immediately and all her charm vanished. Her face turned dark, ~Dammit, how did I forget that so quickly? Am I too horny?~

n

"I don't even know what you look like,

" Shisui added.

nTenken helped him,

"Hmm, although I am a Snake Sage, I have seen many humans. And I can say, by human standards, she is very pretty. If I was a human, I would surely slither around and put some babies in her.

"

n( ̄▽ ̄)

"

nMei just stood there in awkwardness.

"Ah, look, Zabuza seems to be returning.

"

n

"Where? There is nobody there?

" Shiroken asked her seriously.

nMei felt like crying, ~These hopeless men. Can't they get a clue and just go with it?~

n

"Ahaha... then I was most likely seeing things.

" She replied.

n*BOOM*

n

"Now they're here. Take positions. Haku, you stay inside this hollow tree, okay?

" Shiroken alerted everyone.

nHaku obediently got in there. Shiroken had made sure to leave some holes for light to enter.

nFrom the look of it, Zabuza probably did something too big, because hundreds of Shinobi were chasing him.

n*WOOSH*

n

"What did you do?

" Shiroken asked curiously as Zabuza reached him.

n

"I killed the Shinobi vice-commander of the village while he was extorting money,

" Zabuza replied.

n

"Well, it worked. Are these all of them? Then let's put them to sleep. I shall use the mist and air itself.

" He decided.

n

"Natural Transformation: Wood Grass!

" This was a simple attack. Out of nowhere, small roots came out of the ground and held each shinobi in their place.

nThen Shiroken took a long breath in and blew out. It was an air element attack. The strong wind current was so great the shinobi couldn't even breathe oxygen. In a few minutes, all of them started falling unconscious.

n

"That's one thing done. Let's go to the village now.

" Shiroken announced.

n

"WATCH OUT!

" Shisui suddenly jumped. He pulled Mei Terumi back with one hand and stopped a barrage of shuriken.

nShiroken sighed. He was testing Mei's capabilities but Shisui was too on edge it seemed.

n

"Earth Style: Earthly Pull!

" This technique involved making the top layer of the soil move and bringing the enemy closer to oneself. It was easier when combined with the wood grass, holding the enemy in place. Doing this, Shiroken pulled this enemy closer to question him.

n*Cough*

n

"I know my body is irresistible but can you let go?

" Mei sounded. Her face was flushed red.

nShisui felt something on his palm. He squeezed it a little, it was very soft and warm. Then it took him three seconds to realise what it was.

n

"AH! I am sorry, I didn't mean to...

" His face also turned red.

nShiroken chuckled after seeing the two,

"Haha... Youth. They remind me of Jin and Monari back in the days.

"

nTenken agreed,

"Yeah, they do. But what are you saying, my lord? Your long lifespan probably puts you in your late teenage years right now.

"

n

"It does, but we need to remember, not everyone is like me. All right, let's see who this ninja is.

" Shiroken sighed and focused on the task at hand.
