Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

Chapter 162 On the Eve of the Ninja War

After resolving the matter, Hinata hesitated for a moment before deciding to send messages to everyone else.

After all, besides herself, everyone misses Ningxia very much, especially Mingzi. If she knew that Ningxia was still alive, she would definitely come back, right?

"Fireworks, what did Ningxia tell you today?"

Hinata stared at Hanabi and asked, her eyes filled with a fervor Hanabi had never seen before, making Hanabi sweat a little.

If my sister finds out that I've been hiding Ningxia's true whereabouts from her, my butt will definitely split open!

Helpless, Huohua had no choice but to contact Ningxia, but Ningxia's response was somewhat hasty. After giving a few perfunctory words, she immediately cut off contact.

"???"

Hanabi was completely bewildered. What... happened to Ningxia?

Three hours later, Mei Terumi finally shakily went out for the meeting. This was a very important meeting, and even guards were not allowed to accompany her.

When she entered the conference room, everyone noticed her unusual behavior, except for Onoki, who was resting on the table due to back pain.

"Tsk!"

Ai made no attempt to hide her provocative and disdainful tone, saying that a woman whose affections are clouded by love can never truly become a shadow.

Men will only slow down my elbow strikes...

Except for Ningxia.

"Lord Mizukage had a wonderful time yesterday~"

Orochimaru made a sarcastic remark, saying that she hated people with romantic minds, because such people had no rationality whatsoever and were completely driven by their lower instincts.

In her view, love is mutual, just like her and Ningxia. She believed that Ningxia saw a wider world, and even if the whole world couldn't do well for her, Ningxia always stayed firmly by her side.

Nothing describes her relationship with Ningxia better than going through thick and thin together. Back then, she had already poured all her money into Konoha for her experiments, and she didn't take it with her when she left.

At that time, her poverty was comparable to Tsunade's, but Tsunade had Ningxia supporting her and received 500,000 taels of pocket money every month, making her indirectly richer than her.

Ningxia brought her to the Land of Thunder, providing money, effort, and connections. Initially, the laboratory consisted of only a small building, which was Ningxia's house.

Later, Ningxia secured a large order by drinking with Ai, and also brought in a lot of business by entertaining the nobles of the Thunder Kingdom.

She gradually accumulated her initial wealth and became the financial tycoon she is today.

She was so stupid... really, if she had known Ningxia would disappear, she should have tied Ningxia up in her room, even if she had to.

She would make a gold necklace and lock Ningxia in her room, taking care of all her needs, from food and clothing to shelter and transportation.

After that, Ningxia would never see any other woman again; he would only ever have eyes for himself.

The air he breathes, the food he eats, the water he drinks, and even... everything he has belongs to her.

Every night she would hold hands with Ningxia. Even though they had advanced IVF technology, this was different! What she wanted was a child she could have with Ningxia.

This was the only ideal she, a realist, believed in.

Even if she hasn't found Ningxia yet, she definitely will in the future. Even if it means sacrificing the entire ninja world, she won't care!

"Sorry, you must have found this amusing."

Mei Terumi showed no shame and responded generously. Just thinking about Ningxia, whom the three women longed for, and how she shared a bed with her every night, made her want to laugh.

But she could only smile and act affectionately towards her husband; she couldn't laugh out loud, couldn't laugh mockingly, and couldn't laugh with the smugness of a petty person.

She was well aware of the consequences if the other women found out about Ningxia. This dangerous situation kept Terumi Mei constantly on edge.

"Nausea."

Although Shisui sleeps with Ningxia's clothes every day, this does not stop him from hating Terumi Mei.

Her love with Ningxia is pure and innocent!

"Oh dear~ Hokage-sama, that's a really foul language. I think you... don't understand~."

Mei Terumi covered her mouth and laughed. One sentence from her made Shisui Kurenai feel cold. She really didn't understand. Until Ningxia disappeared, she had only kissed her.

"Mizukage, don't you feel ashamed saying these things?"

Although Ai is a dark-skinned, muscular woman, she is essentially an upright woman; otherwise, she would have elbowed Ningxia and tied her up to Yun Yinsheng's classmate, Xiao Ai.

"Alright, stop arguing!"

Orochimaru couldn't hold back anymore. It was supposed to be a crucial moment for hunting down the Otsutsuki, but Mei Terumi kept showing off her superiority, as if her love was the most important thing.

Is this guy... really the Mizukage?

When Orochimaru interrupted him sharply and began to explain his plan, Onoki, who had been enduring the pain in his back, looked up. His back had been hurting terribly, and he hadn't heard a thing they were saying.

After Orochimaru's explanation, everyone became eager to try it out. The Rinnegan, who wouldn't want more of that?

However, since they need to fight so many Otsutsuki, they'll be away from the village for a long time, so... they'll have to pay extra.

"No problem, but to prevent any accidents, I found another person to replace the Kazekage."

Orochimaru generously agreed to add more money, then clapped his hands, and a red-haired mature woman walked into the conference room.

"Hello, I am Nagato Uzumaki, a member of the Akatsuki organization."

Nagato turned his hair away, revealing a pair of Rinnegan.

"..."

When they saw the Rinnegan, no one was particularly surprised, since they had all dealt with the Akatsuki organization to some extent during several major battles.

The Akatsuki organization is now generally acknowledged as a powerful armed organization in the Land of Rain, and its members are mostly rogue ninja from other villages.

"Next, she'll fight the Otsutsuki alongside us. Oh, and by the way, she doesn't want the Rinnegan, she just wants money. Do you understand?"

Orochimaru smiled slightly, and with one sentence, he made the four Kage, who were determined to make money, waver. Nagato didn't need the Rinnegan, so couldn't he just buy back the Rinnegan that she had been given?

"The price is negotiable."

Nagato smiled slightly. As someone who possessed the Rinnegan, how could she not know the burden it brought? Only a race like the Uzumaki clan, with its naturally large amount of chakra, could barely activate the Rinnegan.

Instead of letting this stuff gather dust in the Land of Rain, we might as well exchange it for some money to help the Land of Rain. Yahiko has been losing a lot of hair lately because of the Land of Rain's deficit.

Two days later, the Otsutsuki clan, who were closest to the ninja world, arrived. As if repeating the mistakes of the past, the two went to see Toneri, and were then beaten up and thrown into the ninja world.

Looking up, he saw the four Kage and Nagato staring at him with friendly expressions. To them, this was not a threat, but rather a walking silver coin!

The two Otsutsuki had already vaguely sensed something was wrong. They swallowed hard, forced smiles, and asked, "Hey, can we make peace?"

"Are you joking at this moment?"

While the four Kage were capturing Otsutsuki to exchange for money, Naruto had already collected all the tailed beasts except for the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails.

"Naruto, the next two tailed beasts are in Kumogakure."

"Yes, I'll be a little more serious."

Naruto's nine-tomoe golden Rinnegan gleamed with a deadly light. "Brother Ningxia, I will find you soon."
