"GET DOWN...!"

"NOOO!! PLEASE, NO MORE!!"

"My God! HE'S A DEMON!"

"Don't kill us! We swear we have nothing against you!"

In front of the more than 300 Mist ninjas who were killed by the heat vision, the thousands of remaining ninjas widened their eyes, their faces pale with terror.

After the initial shock, they began to cry out in panic, some collapsing to the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, while others even started vomiting from fear.

No way...

No one thought Luo Lei would act like that.

Killing without mercy, showing not an ounce of compassion, simply eliminating them as if they were insignificant insects.

But... it was too late to beg for mercy now.

Fssshhh

The sound of burning energy filled the area.

The more than 300 Mist ninjas were cut in half, their lifeless bodies falling to the ground as the bloody smell spread and filled the environment, making everyone in the area smell it.

Finally, after killing about a thousand ninjas, Luo Lei's eyes stopped emitting the blazing energy and went dark.

"..."

Absolute silence!

The entire Kirigakure force was completely paralyzed.

The 1,000 remaining Mist ninjas, almost all of them with weakened legs, collapsed on the ground, their eyes full of horror, not daring to make a single move.

"D-damn..."

Yagura wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling his heart pounding.

How could we even think of doubting him? Questioning this man? Luo Lei had made it clear that he wanted to promote Mei Terumī, and anyone who doubted could end up dead.

He's too crazy!

Mahoraga tried to control his heartbeat, but he felt nothing but a crushing emptiness in his chest. More than 1,000 ninjas had been annihilated without Luo Lei even blinking!

"A bunch of brainless insects...!"

"Do you still dare oppose Mei becoming Mizukage?" At that moment, Kisame, standing behind Mei, stroked Samehada in his hand, and his shark-like face showed a sneer of disdain.

In his opinion, Mei had now become the Mizukage.

What, did anyone still dare oppose it? That would be seeking death!

As for the Samehada sword he had in his hand, Luo Lei had given it to him.

After the previous Mist Swordsmen were annihilated, Luo Lei had sealed Samehada in a scroll and recently handed it to Kisame to assist Mei.

Kisame accepted immediately, knowing that Kirigakure needed urgent reform, and he was willing to be at the forefront of that change.

As for the Konoha ninjas who were still observing the scene, they simply watched with expressions of surprise that soon returned to normal.

Hahaha

Given Luo Lei's character, it was entirely normal for him to kill some disobedient ninjas.

"LISTEN UP, EVERYONE!!"

After killing over a thousand ninjas, Luo Lei's sharp eyes swept across the surroundings and rested on the remaining ninjas who were sprawled on the ground, paralyzed.

"Luo Lei-sama, we have no opinion! From now on, we will follow Mei Terumī-sama, we swear it!"

"Mei Terumī-sama is the Fourth Mizukage, and we all fully agree!"

"Anyone who isn't convinced will be against us, no matter who it is!"

In the next moment, seeing that Luo Lei still had that murderous expression, the Mist ninjas who were still paralyzed hurriedly shouted, pledging their loyalty in desperation.

They had no complaints about Mei as the future Mizukage.

"And you two?"

Luo Lei turned his gaze to Yagura and Mahoraga, who felt a chill run through their bodies.

"W-we have no opinion either, Luo Lei-sama!"

"With Mei Terumī-sama's talent and abilities, being the Fourth Mizukage is entirely justifiable, without a doubt!" they said hastily.

"Cowards... damn it!"

Seeing the ninjas in front of her change their attitudes so quickly, Mei gritted her silver teeth and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

She couldn't help but feel frustrated by their hypocrisy.

"Hmph..."

Luo Lei snorted coldly, then looked at Mei, a smile forming on his face. "To make sure everything is under control, I'll accompany you to Kirigakure and kill anyone who dares oppose you. No one will stand in your way."

"W-who... Who would dare oppose you?!"

The words filled with absolute dominance echoed in Mei's heart, making her beautiful face blush suddenly.

She knew that after accepting becoming Mizukage, Luo Lei had made only one request: that she wear the Mizukage robe when they were together in bed...

"Let's go!"

After saying this, Luo Lei took a step forward and flew in the direction of Kirigakure.

"Understood, Luo Lei-sama!"

Mei seemed happy for a moment before following Luo Lei, knowing that Kirigakure needed an urgent change and that she would be the key to that change.

"Kirigakure is about to change..."

Yagura, Mahoraga, and Kisame shook their heads before following Luo Lei, while silently keeping a moment of silence in their hearts for the high command of Kirigakure who were about to face the inevitable.

In the end, it was the 1,000 remaining Mist ninjas who, without daring to hesitate, stumbled to their feet and silently followed the group.

...

"I have to work hard."

Mikoto watched Luo Lei's back as he walked away, clenching her fists with determination and murmuring to herself, "When we return, I first have to talk to Kushina. I can't let her continue being a victim of these lies."

"...that Minato doesn't deserve her at all."

Her face twisted with an expression of extreme disgust as she recalled what Luo Lei had revealed to her.

Those disgusting bastards from Konoha...!

Rage boiled inside her. Kushina was nothing but a tool to them, a simple weapon to be used and manipulated.

They had recreated a whole scene of a "hero" supposedly rescuing her, just to keep her under control, to make sure she wouldn't rebel.

She couldn't tolerate her friend continuing to be a puppet.

"I'm going to tell her the truth, open her eyes, and end this farce once and for all. Kushina deserves to know what's happening, and I won't let her continue being deceived, especially by someone like Minato."

Minato... she used to see him as a cheerful, kind, and trustworthy guy.

But now it all seemed like a mask. He was nothing but the Hokage's lapdog, blindly following orders, gladly playing the role of the "hero" to manipulate Kushina and gain more recognition.

"Pathetic... utterly pathetic."

"LISTEN UP, EVERYONE!"

Futian took a deep breath, looking at the ninjas surrounding him. Seeing that Luo Lei had left, he raised his voice: "Listen, everyone! We're returning to the village! Move now!"

"Sigh..."

Fugaku sighed, his expression filled with frustration. Without saying anything more, he turned and began walking away.

For him, the battlefield of the Land of Waves would always be a sad and somber memory.

Kirigakure

Located in the deep mountains of the Land of Water, the village of Kirigakure was hidden in a remote and isolated place, always shrouded in a thick mist that made it seem disconnected from the rest of the world.

The mist seemed to envelop everything, as if trying to hide the painful reality of the village.

For a long time, Kirigakure had remained in the shadows, avoiding direct conflicts and staying out of world wars.

They didn't even participate in the Second World War, choosing to maintain a low profile, waiting for the right moment to surprise the world with a decisive blow.

But the reality had been very different. This time, Kirigakure had participated in the war, and instead of surprising the world, they had become a laughingstock.

Their Third Mizukage had been controlled by Madara Uchiha with a Genjutsu and subsequently killed by Luo Lei.

More than 2,000 Mist ninjas had been captured, and the proud Kirigakure had fallen hard, facing the harsh reality of their failure.

...

At the entrance of Kirigakure.

Genji, the patriarch of the Hoshigaki Clan, along with the patriarchs of the Hōzuki and Yuki clans, as well as other high-level leaders of Kirigakure, were waiting there nervously.

More than 100 Mist ninjas gathered alongside them, the atmosphere heavy with tension.

The reason, of course, was that the Kirigakure team was about to return.

...

"Genji-sama, it seems Mei Terumī has succeeded," one of the scouts said in an excited tone.

"According to the scouts' information, the liberated troops are moving rapidly toward Kirigakure."

The patriarchs and other high-level members of Kirigakure looked at each other, some with nervous smiles.

They had been expecting the worst, but they didn't expect the trick to actually work.

Losing Terumī Mei, in exchange for so many ninjas... it really wasn't a loss.

"What exactly is the situation?" Genji asked, frowning.

There was evident unease in his gaze, something didn't quite add up.

From beginning to end, the true ninjas they had sent never returned to report. The scouts who had gotten too close had disappeared, and the last ones sent only dared to observe from a distance.

It wasn't clear how many Mist ninjas had actually returned.

"SOMEONE!!"

Suddenly, a Mist sensor ninja shouted in excitement, pointing into the distance.

"Sha... Sha..."

The sound of something moving quickly accompanied the arrival of Luo Lei, Mei Terumī, Kisame, Yagura, Mahoraga, and others, who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village of Kirigakure.

!!!!

"Is that...? Is it really him...?"

At that moment, countless eyes fell on Luo Lei. Kirigakure's high-level leaders were stunned, feeling a surge of shock and fear in their hearts.

Is it him? The new ninja god: Luo Lei? But... why had he come to Kirigakure? What was going on?

Everything made sense now, the scouts who had disappeared without reason... no doubt, they had been eliminated.

"Something is about to happen...", murmured Genji, his eyes wide open. Along with the high officials, he tried to retreat quickly.

"Don't leave."

Luo Lei's body flickered and appeared before them, blocking their retreat.

His cold and severe eyes looked at them as if they were mere insects. "You must be the ones in charge of Kirigakure, right?" he asked in a low voice.

"Who are you?" shouted some of the Jōnin arrogantly, unaware of how close they were to death.

"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO GENJI-SAMA LIKE THAT?!" one of the Jōnin stepped forward.

"Haha..." Luo Lei let out a disdainful laugh, his lips curving into a cruel smile.

Ñ

There were always people who didn't know how to keep their mouths shut.

Boom!

Boom!

The laser vision shot out from his eyes, piercing through the Jōnin before they could react. Their bodies were split in two, falling to the ground as blood splattered and spilled.

"..."

Silence took over the high leaders. Their terrified eyes were fixed on Luo Lei, finally understanding the magnitude of the power before them.

Luo Lei... This man was undoubtedly a God of Slaughter.

His eyes could shoot rays that turned anyone into ashes in seconds.

Ignoring their stares, Luo Lei said calmly, "From today on, Mei Terumī will be the Fourth Mizukage. Do you have any objections?"

"What...? Are you crazy?!"

Genji frowned, trying to hide the terror in his voice as he attempted to respond respectfully, "The Mizukage must be unanimously approved by the village, and we must inform the Land of Water so that it can finally..."

"Too much nonsense..."

Boom!

Genji's words remained unfinished.

Under his terrified gaze, a laser beam surged from Luo Lei's eyes, melting Genji's head in an instant.

The smell of burnt flesh filled the air as Genji's body collapsed, lifeless.
