35 Chapter 35

Naruto stopped after getting a little closer to the female shinobi.

"You must be the leader. Thank you for agreeing to listen to me." Naruto said.

"You saved my men, so I thought I should at least listen to you. Let me introduce myself, I'm Mei Terumi, the leader of the rebels. How about you take off your mask and introduce yourself?" Mei said.

"Unfortunately, I can't take off my mask because I want my identity to remain anonymous to avoid possible attention. You can call me Wolf." Naruto said.

"Okay, Wolf. Can you tell me what topic you want to talk to me about?" Mei said.

"I want to talk to you about Mizukage. I have an issue with him, and since you're hostile to him, I think we can partner with you." Naruto replied.

"Partnership with you? How can you benefit us as a single person? Also, how do you expect us to trust you when you can't even reveal your identity?" Mei said.

"Sigh* I didn't expect you to trust me from the beginning anyway. Actually, I just came to inform you of my status." Naruto said after sighing.

"How so?" Mei asked in surprise.

"I'm going to attack Yagura anyway because he has something that will work for me. I have a proposition for you, for which we do not need to trust each other so much." Naruto said.

"Interesting. What is your offer?" Mei said curiously.

"The person who can cause you problems is Mizukage. The people who can cause me trouble are his subordinates. I want you to hold the others while I fight the Mizukage. Although they won't be able to interfere in the war between him and me, I still don't want flies around me. What do you think about that?" Naruto said.

"Sounds logical, but how do I know you're strong enough to defeat Yagura?" Mei asked.

Naruto entered his Basic Shinju Form as he grinned under his mask. He didn't show his full form because it didn't make sense to show all his trump cards against a possible enemy.

After Naruto's transformation was finished, a dominant chakra suddenly appeared around.

Under the pressure of Naruto's chakra, the shinobi nearby began to sweat and their bodies began to contract.

"I don't think it will be a problem for me. What about you? Can you defeat them?" Naruto said as a gloomy aura appeared around him.

Mei was feeling uneasy because of the aura emanating from him, she said, "I- I think we can beat them. No, we will definitely defeat them."

"I will attack him in a few days. You have to be ready at all times because I can attack at any time. Don't worry, I'll let you know before I attack. Until then…" Naruto disappeared in a red flash after he had finished speaking.

The ninjas there looked at where Naruto should have been, both relieved and surprised. Eventually, the pressure they felt was gone.

"He looks very strong. Hmm... I wonder how he looks. Does he have a girlfriend? Even if it did, it wouldn't be an obstacle to me." Mei thought.

A few days had passed.

Naruto had searched around Kirigakure for a place suitable for combat at this time. Not only that, he had placed his own Hiraishin signs around. In this way, he would be able to move more easily between the signs.

Right now, he was thinking about how to pull Mizukage out. He could throw a big bijuu-dama towards the village, but then the people in the village would also be in danger. This might upset Mei a little.

"Why did I care so much about Mei? Sigh* My goddamn instinct!" Naruto secretly cursed his harem instinct.

"But it would be nice to have a wife who is a Kage... Cough* Maybe it would be nicer to have 2 instead of 1.

Naruto thought about meaningless topics for a while, then he started seriously thinking about the main topic. Then he had a good idea. He didn't need to attract Mizukage, he just had to lure Isobu to come near him.

After all, Isobu and Mizukage had a good relationship. Mizukage will probably have to come because of Isobu.

Naruto devised his plan then he sent a clone of it to inform Mei before acting.

He then went to his chosen place, which was suitable for fighting.

"Now I want you two to spread your presence. Isobu will want to come, wondering why its two brothers are together." Naruto said to those inside.

Kurama and Shukaku then began to spread their presence as Naruto told them. They spread Isobu more towards where they felt it.

Isobu, who was lying eyes closed in Mizukage's mind field at that time, suddenly opened its eyes. Then it radiated its presence, trying to understand where the feeling it was feeling came from. It was surprising when it realized where the feeling came from and who they were.

"Yagura. We have to go someplace." Isobu said.

"Hmm? Where and why are we going?" Yagura asked in surprise.

"I felt a familiar presence. It looks like they want to meet up." Isobu said.

"Interesting. Describe the way." Yagura was interested in the subject.

Then, Yagura started to go in the direction that Isobu had described.

After going for a while, they came to the place where a red-haired masked man was standing.

"So you were the one who called us? Tell me, what do you want?" Yagura asked.

Naruto sarcastically said as he entered Shinju Form, "You."
