Chapter 512: Talking about a Deal
Hearing that voice, Ao bowed his head in front of the camera and took a step back.
There was a figure standing at the dungeon door, but due to the lack of lighting, one could only vaguely make out its figure.
Her long brown hair stood out a little against the dull background, and it was obvious from her good figure that she was quite young.
She is Mei Terumi, a mature and strong shinobi girl who will soon become the fifth Mizukage.
Right now, the village was in chaos due to the sudden death of the fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and besides being the village leader, he was also a " Three-Tailed jinchuuriki».
Each village attached great importance to" nuclear bombs", also known as"jinchuuriki". Most of the jinchuuriki in the shinobi villages were under close surveillance. Yagura Karatachi also became the leader of the village as a Three-Tailed jinchuuriki, which showed his importance and abilities.
But now that he was dead, along with his death, the village lost a huge deterrent force, and most importantly, Mei Terumi decided to come to power, which led to the fact that the already weakened village was divided into two camps.
One camp was led by Mei Terumi. She wanted to stop the village's civil war, open up communication channels to the outside world, and wanted to start trading with other major factions. Otherwise, given their location, they will soon become too poor that they won't even be able to banally keep their fortune afloat.
While the other factions were at war, Hidden Mist Village was in a state of civil war. While the other factions were at peace, Hidden Mist Village was in a state of civil war. While the other factions were sorting things out among themselves, Hidden Mist Village was in a state of civil war.
Even during the Third Shinobi World War, there were occasional civil wars in Hidden Mist Village.
However, due to the geographical advantages, no one wanted to attack Hidden Mist Village, and since this village was at war with itself 24/7, this resulted in the shinobi in this village being very strong, but also very poor.
Who would even want to attack a village that was both very poor and very strong? Of course no one.
No one wanted to get involved in a war with such a poor and at the same time strong village once again.
Now that a village leader like this had died, the consequences of his death could be easily imagined. Everything was relatively under control while he was in power, but now everything was filled with chaos.
Apart from the Mei Terumi camp, there was also a "battle camp" in the village. Basically this camp wanted to stop the civil war and start attacking and looting other nearby factions.
Both camps wanted to stop the civil war, but they couldn't agree on who would be in charge. Both sides refused to give up their positions, so with this in mind, the civil war would soon break out with renewed vigor.
Terumi Mei, on the other hand, was very strong and had strong allies who helped her.
Her opponent now had no leader. Previously, the leader of this camp was the fourth Mizukage, but even though they didn't have a leader now, there were a lot of people in this camp.
Although many of them weren't very strong, at least 70% of the total number of Hidden Mist Village Shinobi ranked themselves as " battle camp».
Mei Terumi was strong enough to become the fifth Mizukage, but she wasn't supported by enough ordinary shinobi. The Water Country Daimyo was watching their showdown from a bird's eye view and clearly had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of Hidden Mist Village.
And Mei Terumi couldn't kill all those who opposed her. If she took such a step, Hidden Mist Village would become weaker than ever.
So people like Su Xiao, who didn't belong to Hidden Mist Village or other villages, were quite valuable.
However, since Su Xiao had a "brilliant track record" with killing the fourth Mizukage, it was only natural that Mei Terumi would be wary of him.
Su Xiao also understood this. When two parties began to cooperate, two parties should immediately benefit from this cooperation.
He had to get out of his current predicament as quickly as possible and leave this prison.
Mei Terumi entered the dungeon, and strands of her long brown hair hung down to cover the cleavage of her chest.
— We first met, I'm Mei Terumi — " Mei Terumi introduced herself. She had only heard of Su Xiao and had never met him before.
— Byakuya, " Su Xiao said and looked her up and down. If he was able to get close to her in battle, she would most likely end up dying. Her melee abilities weren't too good.
But if she could keep her distance from him, she would definitely turn him into ashes with ease.
She was currently about three meters away from Su Xiao. If there were no obstacles in front of him and he managed to draw his sword at the right moment, he would most likely be able to kill her.
Of course, Su Xiao wouldn't take such a step. After all, he wouldn't be able to leave here alive after that.
— You... Ao suddenly stood in front of Mei Terumi. He was an experienced shinobi, and Su Xiao's look told him that he clearly didn't have very good plans for her.
— Ao, don't be nervous, " Mei Terumi said and signaled him.
— But he just...
— I know, " Mei Terumi said and narrowed her eyes. She knew very well how strong Su Xiao was in close combat. The sword wounds on the fourth Mizukage's body were the best proof of this.
— Why did you kill him?" Mei Terumi asked.
— What for? It was ordered, " Su Xiao replied easily.
— Who?
— I don't know.
Su Xiao's answer somewhat disappointed Mei Terumi.
— Since you don't want to talk, stay here, " Mei Terumi turned around, but Su Xiao in the cell just laughed.
— Quid pro quo. I can help you remove unnecessary people.
Mei Terumi turned around and looked at Su Xiao out of the corner of her eye.
— I don't need an assassin, I need a loyal subordinate, forget it, I've been very busy lately, especially in the evenings.
After that Mei Terumi and Master Ao left the dungeon together.
— Replace the guard with another one. Ono and Kihe, you don't need to stand here anymore, I'll give you other tasks, " Ao's voice came from outside the dungeon.
— Why, that bastard killed the fourth Mizukage, we have to guard this place!
— Yeah, we'll never leave here!
— He killed all the prisoners. Don't worry, no one will charge you anything for this, we didn't need them anyway. We don't have to guard this prison that well anymore, so...
After that, there was silence outside the dungeon.
Su Xiao sat quietly in the cell. The negotiations seemed to have failed, but in reality they were crowned with success.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Su Xiao opened his eyes.
A Dragon Flash appeared in his hand.
*A clang*
Part of the grid fell to the ground.
Su Xiao walked out of the cell, and Bubtney followed with a face full of surprise, and his eyes seemed to want to say, " Master, is it okay to go out like this?..»
Su Xiao walked to the entrance of the dungeon. The dungeon doors weren't even locked.
When he came out of the dungeon, he saw a beautiful white moonlight shining on the ground, and far away from it, he could vaguely make out buildings.
Su Xiao was not far from the village.
More than a dozen shinobi were standing near the prison's exit, but they didn't even look at Su Xiao who was released from prison.
From Master Ao's words, it was obvious that the people from the battle camp had been transferred to other locations, and they had obviously been replaced by Mei Terumi's men.
And the meaning behind Mei Terumi's words before she left was too obvious.
