The next day.
The news of Mei Terumī's succession as the Fourth Mizukage, with the support of the "Killer God of Konoha," Luo Lei, spread throughout the world.
This left countless ninjas stunned. The major villages also fell silent for a while...
Damn it!
Aren't we supposed to be in the middle of a World War?
But there was Luo Lei, after killing the Mizukage controlled by Madara Uchiha. He went to Kirigakure as if it were a stroll, and on top of that, he helped the young Mei Terumī rise to the position of Fourth Mizukage.
What's this all about?
Does he want to betray Konoha and find his own path in advance? Or is he trying to create his own dominion?
Therefore, amidst this uncertainty.
Countless ninjas showed puzzled expressions, saying they couldn't understand Luo Lei's intentions.
As for Kumogakure and Iwagakure, they smiled with satisfaction. If Luo Lei really wanted to carve out his own path, didn't that mean Konoha's greatest advantage would vanish?
For a moment, the war added more variables, and the village of Konoha, which had the absolute advantage, began to waver.
______
Konoha
When the news arrived, ninjas and civilians in the village began to riot.
What's happening?!
How could our superhero go to Kirigakure?
He also helped a young ninja named Mei Terumī become the Fourth Mizukage. Has he joined Kirigakure?
Terrified and confused, many in Konoha began to seek answers from the village leadership:
What's going on here? Our superhero, Luo Lei, is now in Kirigakure?
What has really happened?!
…..
At this moment.
Hokage Mansion.
Konoha's high-ranking officials gathered once again.
Crash!
With the sound of a cup shattering, Hiruzen, sitting in his chair with a gloomy expression, couldn't contain his frustration.
"Damn it, he's trying to drive me mad!" he shouted, his eyes seeming to burn. "That damned Luo Lei, he just relies on his own power to act like a tyrant. He does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and mocks us..."
"How long has it been since the last time? And now he's causing trouble again!"
Jumping out of his chair, his pipe falling to the floor. "First, he defeats the Kirigakure army, massacres the Mizukage controlled by Madara, captures over 2000 ninjas... and it turns out all of this was to support Mei Terumī as the Fourth Mizukage! What the hell is he thinking?"
In the face of Hiruzen's rage and frustration, Danzō, Koharu, and Homura also wore very serious expressions. None of them could believe that Luo Lei had decided to go to Kirigakure to help a young woman named Mei Terumī become Mizukage.
It was something completely unexpected.
"Mei Terumī..." Danzō murmured, scratching his chin. "The information we have on her is interesting. A prodigious ninja with two Kekkei Genkai, and... she's also very beautiful."
"Wait a moment..." Koharu seemed to have an epiphany. "Did you say she's very beautiful? When Luo Lei was in the Anbu, he seemed to have a weakness for women like Yūgao Uzuki, whom he chose as his secretary. If we base it on that... we could use that weakness to influence him."
"Are you implying that Luo Lei has a particular taste?" Homura frowned, thinking aloud. "It's said that Mikoto Uchiha also has a very close relationship with him. Even Futian broke off Mikoto's engagement to his son for that reason. It seems Luo Lei has a pattern."
"Exactly," Koharu said. "If we know what kind of woman attracts him, we could use that to our advantage. We need to keep him under control, at least until we secure victory in the war."
"In that case, we could explore that angle to keep Luo Lei under control for now. We can't ruin everything just as we're about to win the war," Danzō added with a grim expression. "We need to act quickly."
"So... who could we use?" Hiruzen's eyes lit up as he nodded slowly. "To capture Luo Lei's interest, she must be beautiful, strong, and, most importantly, loyal to the village. Someone who can influence him and keep him stable."
"…" After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
None of them had beautiful daughters they could offer.
Had they had any, they might have already tried it. They all looked at Hiruzen, waiting for a solution.
"How about Tsunade?" Koharu suddenly suggested, surprising everyone.
"Although she's a bit older, she's still extremely attractive and has the power to catch Luo Lei's attention."
"No way!" Hiruzen immediately rejected the idea. "I know Tsunade's character. If we dared to suggest something like that, she would come here directly and knock down this mansion with her fists. No, that option is out of the question."
"Then what do we do?" Koharu crossed her arms, frustrated. "There doesn't seem to be a suitable candidate... Originally, we could have chosen Kushina, but we've already engaged her to Minato."
"First, let's secretly look for someone who might fit," Hiruzen suggested after taking a long puff of his pipe.
"And in the meantime, let's closely monitor Luo Lei's next moves. It's better to be prepared for the worst. If something goes wrong, we must act quickly."
"Understood!" Danzō, Koharu, and Homura exclaimed in unison.
Things had completely spiraled out of their control. They could only adapt and act according to what happened.
Luckily for them, Luo Lei in Kirigakure had no idea what they were planning!
Otherwise, he would have mocked their efforts. All he wanted was to do as he pleased and place Mei Terumī as Mizukage, with no hidden agenda. He just wanted to satisfy his own whims, and the high-ranking officials of Konoha didn't understand his true intentions.
Moreover, Luo Lei was very vengeful.
Now that Madara had tried to attack him, he had a clear goal: first, to take the Three-Tails from Kirigakure.
