My Life as Itachi's Crow

Chapter 153: Why Isn't the Eighteen-Year-Old Mei Terumi Married?

Learning about his own crow's intelligence from others' mouths, Uchiha Itachi's mood was very bad, just like the sudden heavy rain in the Land of Waves.

This heavy rain hindered their advance.

The entire squad could only temporarily rest. In this weather, for their small squad to face Hidden Mist ninjas, the possibility of being completely wiped out was too great.

Watching this Konoha ninja squad from afar, the former village head looked up at the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky and said in a deep voice, "A performance by Water Style ninjas? What a pity..."

Tobirama Senju only felt regret for a moment, then looked at the youth who was gently helping Kosuke dry firewood, "That abnormal genius brat from the Uchiha clan has already sensed the battle between the Three-Tails Jinchuriki and the shark-faced man... He's gotten stronger again!"

The abnormal rainstorm in the Land of Waves was caused precisely by the fierce battle between Kisame Hoshigaki and the Fourth Mizukage. This battle had already lasted for a whole day... But, their stamina was still abundant!

After all, one side relied on a Tailed Beast for abundant chakra, while the other's own chakra amount was very plentiful, and the Hoshigaki clan members themselves possessed the trait of absorbing chakra.

How long is this battle going to last…

Not long after the battle began, some Hidden Mist hunter-nin squads tried to help, but these people had already been washed away by the Water Style: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave, and now it's unknown where they've swum off to…

The mountain forest was completely submerged by the flood, becoming a natural battlefield for the two Water Style ninjas. Kitahara stood on Samehada's body, drifting with the waves…

The crow looked at the rain falling from the sky, "Caw?"

It's raining…

Samehada forcefully bent itself into a strange arc, its body trembling to help shield the crow from the downpour... This ninja sword is really considerate!

"So sorry! Looks like this will take a while longer!" Kisame Hoshigaki sent the half-Tailed-Beast-transformed Yagura flying with a punch, formed hand seals, and fiercely slapped the water surface beside him, "Five Feeding Sharks!"

The chakra instantly formed five water bullets, which took the form of five sharks in the water. Their sharp teeth were lifelike. The school of sharks swam rapidly under the water's surface, quickly chasing after Yagura!

After releasing the ninjutsu, Kisame Hoshigaki revealed a mouthful of sharp teeth and said loudly, "Ending the era of the Bloody Mist with my own hands will be the last gift I give to the village before I defect from the Mist!"

"Having killed so many comrades from the village, and as the last ninja from the same village to be killed by me, it's Lord Fourth Mizukage! Hahahahaha…"

Kitahara shook the rainwater from its head, looking helplessly at the frenzied shark in the downpour. This was truly an ill-fated debt…

This guy Kisame Hoshigaki was definitely not a good person, but when it came to being a qualified ninja, this guy was more qualified than most people in the ninja world.

At least in the era of great nation conflicts, figures like Kisame Hoshigaki were the foundation for ensuring a village's continuation and acquiring living space.

The lake surface suddenly churned with a huge wave!

A giant turtle-like monster emerged from the water. Its gray shell was covered with spikes, and three flat tails continuously slapped the water surface behind it... The Three-Tails appears!

After Kisame Hoshigaki saw Yagura transform into the Three-Tails, his expression immediately became grave. His hands quickly formed hand seals, "Great Shark Bullet Technique!"

The water shark composed of chakra rapidly expanded as it rushed towards the Three-Tails!

As long as it could absorb enough chakra, its size could grow larger and larger, until it swallowed a Tailed Beast!

Kitahara's eyes focused, its crimson pupils reflected in the water, watching everything before it... This time, a winner could finally be decided, right?

It was still here, mainly to prevent Uchiha Obito from appearing and interfering with Kisame Hoshigaki's battle... But in the future, it would never act together with Kisame Hoshigaki again!

The Three-Tails, a bottom-ranking Tailed Beast, couldn't a bean-sized Tailed Beast Bomb just end it? To drag a fight out for a whole day…

The sentimentality of a ninja raised in a village!

Such a battle was indeed exciting and meaningful. It wanted to be a spectator, but a spectator who could fast-forward! And preferably with some snacks.

Kitahara scanned its surroundings. Only a ninja sword continuously emitting an aura of 'I am an obedient fish' was accompanying it…

"Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique!"

A ball of mist quickly stuck to the water shark, gradually vaporizing it... A tall figure stepped onto the water surface and walked towards the center of the battlefield!

Brown, crossed long hair draped down…

A layer of chakra surrounded her body, continuously evaporating the rainwater on her. Her dress still swayed as if on a sunny day... So beauty-conscious, a young female ninja of marriageable age.

She was clearly a female ninja, yet her face showed no gentleness, only coldness and severity, "ANBU ninja Kisame Hoshigaki, what are you doing!"

"Mei Terumi…"

Kisame Hoshigaki's face visibly turned ugly. Compared to some taijutsu masters, this woman had a unique Kekkei Genkai that was an even greater counter to his ninjutsu!

And speaking of which, Mei Terumi's identity was even more special. She was not old, yet was one of the leading figures of the entire Hidden Mist Village's younger generation. The other was Mangetsu Hozuki, whom many in the Mist believed was the most likely to succeed as the Fifth Mizukage.

In the entire Hidden Mist Village, apart from the ANBU hidden in the darkness, most ninjas highly recognized the talents of Mei Terumi and Mangetsu Hozuki. The future upper echelons of the Mist would definitely have a place for them.

"Ha! Can't you see? I'm assassinating Lord Mizukage!" Kisame Hoshigaki beckoned. Samehada's body swayed, and after getting the crow's approval, it swam into Kisame's hand.

The Hidden Mist female ninja's fair face was instantly tinged with a thin layer of anger. She looked down at Kisame Hoshigaki in the water with a gloomy face, "You've got some nerve!"

Kitahara's wings skimmed the water surface and stopped in front of Kisame Hoshigaki, looking at the suddenly appearing woman, "Caw?"

She's so young? Why isn't she married yet?

"Huh? What kind of question is that!"

Kisame Hoshigaki chuckled lightly and explained, "Probably because no one in the Hidden Mist Village dares to marry her! After all, besides being famous for her two Kekkei Genkai, her ruthlessness towards enemies is no less than ours in ANBU!"

In fact, that was indeed the case.

This couldn't be blamed on Mei Terumi. Her body contained two Kekkei Genkai: Lava Release and Boil Release. No matter which Kekkei Genkai ninjutsu she used, the enemy's death state would not be pretty... It would be strange if anyone dared to marry such a female ninja!

Thinking for a moment, Kisame Hoshigaki continued, "This woman... can we kill her! She seems to be supporting that kid Mangetsu Hozuki to become the Fifth Mizukage..."

Kitahara's crimson eyes stared at the Hidden Mist female ninja for a while, then a Tailed Beast Bomb quickly formed in the crow's beak and shot towards Mei Terumi!

"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique!"

The Hidden Mist female ninja stepped back half a step in surprise, spitting out a mouthful of acid from her mouth, which enveloped the Tailed Beast Bomb... The Lava Release instead detonated the Tailed Beast Bomb prematurely!

Boom!

In an instant, the Tailed Beast Bomb exploded, creating a monstrous wave that submerged everyone!

"Stop!"

Mei Terumi, her face pale with fright, fell sitting on the water surface, stretching out her palm, "If you want to end the era of the Bloody Mist, we can help you!"

"What if I say... I want the position of Fifth Mizukage?" Kisame Hoshigaki looked at the wound on Mei Terumi's arm and held out Samehada!

This sentence was just a provocation. No matter what, it was impossible for him to take the position of Fifth Mizukage, and the situation in the Hidden Mist Village was far too complicated.

However…

The chakra of the Tailed Beast's huge reaction suddenly disappeared.

A young, tender voice reached their ears, "Okay."
