Chapter 628: Kirigakure's Joy—!

Golden list, battle arena.

"The feeling of being young is really nostalgic."

"It would be great if I could maintain the way it is now."

Feeling the vitality in his body, Hiruzen, who became younger because of the power of the golden list, couldn't help but sighed.

"If you want to keep getting younger, as long as you keep getting the rewards of the golden list, you will definitely be able to achieve it."

Terumi Mei put her hands on her hips and looked at Hiruzen on the opposite side with interest.

"However, is this the legendary 'God of Shinobi'?"

"Although there is a lot more masculinity, it is much worse than I imagined."

"I thought the young Third Hokage would be a handsome young man, but now that I think about it, I think too much."

"Compared to Konoha's First Hokage, Second Hokage and Fourth Hokage, you are more like a middle-aged uncle."

Hearing Terumi Mei's words, Hiruzen raised his head and looked at Terumi Mei who was standing on the opposite side.

To what Terumi Mei said, he did not respond, but asked curiously:

"You are Terumi Mei of Kirigakure, and you choose to challenge me at this juncture, do you have any other purpose?"

Kirigakure was targeted by Pakura, which is a fact recognized by the ninja world.

It stands to reason that the ninjas of Kirigakure should not challenge the people on the [Kage Ranking] list at this time.

Even if they want to challenge someone from the ranking, they should not have such a relaxed attitude.

Unless, Terumi Mei is not worried at all about what will happen to Kirigakure.

"You... are you planning to betray Kirigakure?"

A light flashed in Hiruzen's eyes.

It was the only possibility he could think of.

Only those who plan to abandon the village will not care about the life and death of the village.

And when faced with the life and death of the Village, those who betrayed their Village will definitely be indifferent.

"Ha, you said I'm going to be a rebel?" Terumi Mei waved her hand, "You're wrong, Third Hokage."

"I'm not going to be Kirigakure's traitor, and I want to tell you that Kirigakure will never be destroyed."

"You should be more worried about your ability to keep your rewards from my hands than our Kirigakure."

Hearing this, Hiruzen raised his eyebrows: "Oh, in the face of Pakura, who ranks above the First Hokage, are you so calm? I'm curious, what gave you such courage?"

"Want to know?" Terumi Mei's mouth curled up, "It's okay to tell you, I need to inform Kirigakure about this anyway. By the way, I forgot that I have to beat you to complete my teacher's graduation assessment, I almost forgot about this."

During the two years of training, Rifan naturally told Terumi Mei how to complete his graduation assessment.

"Teacher? Could it be that this teacher in your mouth is the source of your confidence?"

Hiruzen asked curiously.

"Of course." Terumi Mei smiled mysteriously, "Because my teacher is Rifan."

"What!? You just said your teacher is Rifan?!"

Hiruzen instantly widened his eyes and looked at Terumi Mei in disbelief.

This time, Terumi Mei ignored Hiruzen, but raised her head and looked up into the sky, and waved:

"Kirigakure, have you all been looking for me?"

"Don't worry about my safety, I just disappeared from the village because of being selected by Teacher Rifan."

"Now that I have become an official disciple of Teacher Rifan, as long as I defeat a 'Kage', I can complete the graduation requirements.

"By the way, I have already met Senior Sister Pakura, and she no longer intends to pursue Kirigakure."

"So you can rest assured."

Kirigakure, Mizukage Building.

Elder Dun, the elders, and a group of Elite Jōnin all widened their eyes, looking at Terumi Mei who was waving her palms at them in the golden list in disbelief.

"Is that true!?Terumi actually became Rifan's disciple?!"

"It's not impossible, Terumi will never joke about this, so it must be true!"

"Yes, it must be true! It's great, our village doesn't have to be destroyed!"

"But, why did Rifan choose Terumi, and how did he choose Terumi?"

"I don't care about this, I just need to know that the village is saved!"

The elders and the ninjas had a heated discussion.

"Okay, stop talking about it!"

Elder Dun said.

"Look at Terumi's fight first, if she really shows some kind of special power."

"She could be Rifan's disciple."

Hearing Elder Dun's words, the people who were discussing before became quiet, raised their heads and stared at the golden list.

"Speaking of which, don't you think Terumi's face seems a little more mature?"

After looking at Terumi's face for a long time, Elder Dun suddenly muttered.
