'It seems that if I don't leave, this Mei Terumi won't make a move.'
Relying on the relative positions of the visible surroundings, Ryosuke could still determine the direction back to the port. Then he pretended to walk toward the port.
"Bye-bye, I'm leaving now."
Mei Terumi, who was hiding her figure in the thick fog, grew anxious upon hearing Ryosuke's words.
She couldn't let him leave. Since the Lava Release ninjutsu was useless against him, she naturally resorted to Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet to hold Ryosuke in place.
But Ryosuke easily dodged the attack. Facing the direction the water dragon had come from, a faint smile appeared on his face.
He swiftly charged toward the source. Soon, he spotted Mei Terumi's figure behind a tree in the thick fog.
'Found you.'
Seeing him approach, Mei Terumi was shocked. Could it be that this guy deliberately provoked her into attacking so he could locate her position? 'What a cunning man.'
In that case, she had no choice but to engage him directly, as Ryosuke was already right in front of her. Even if she wanted to disappear into the fog, it would take a few seconds.
The moment they clashed, Mei Terumi felt her heart race.
Ryosuke's body was incredibly strong, his ordinary attacks put immense pressure on her. In just a few moves, Ryosuke seized her wrists and pinned her to the ground.
Ryosuke sat directly on top of her.
Immediately, he felt the softness of her body. It was so comfortable that it sent a wave of pleasure through him. The comfort was absolutely unmatched.
'As expected of a woman from the Hidden Mist village.
Mei Terumi's face flushed with shame and anger. Today, she had actually been mounted by this guy.
She even felt something hard pressing against her.
Shocked and furious, she exclaimed, "What the hell are you trying to do?!"
At the same time, she struggled violently, trying to break free from his restraint.
But she couldn't budge him at all. Instead, she felt an overwhelming sense of dread. 'How could this guy be so wicked?'
Ryosuke felt a surge of excitement. He praised, "Not bad at all. I'll let you go this time."
"Hope you don't come after me again. Otherwise, I might have to be ruthless."
He didn't plan to force himself on the current Mei Terumi. Though her figure was great, her strength clearly hadn't reached Kage-level yet.
With that, Ryosuke stood up and walked toward the port. Truthfully, if Mei Terumi foolishly pursued him again, he wouldn't mind getting rough.
Lying on the ground, Mei Terumi was filled with rage.
This guy had taken all the advantages. No one in Hidden Mist village would dare treat her like this. She wanted to chase after him for revenge, but reason told her, he could have killed her, yet he didn't. If she impulsively followed, she might really end up dead.
'Damn him!'
After wrestling with her emotions for a while, reason ultimately triumphed over anger.
She could only watch helplessly as he left. No matter how unwilling she was, there was nothing she could do. Before long, the thick fog gradually dissipated. Mei Terumi returned to Ao's side.
Ao was clutching his right eye, his breathing steadier now. It seemed he was no longer in mortal danger.
Mei Terumi let out a sigh of relief. But then she remembered how that guy had pressed his huge bulge against her. A wave of shame washed over her.
'That bastard!'
Ao opened his remaining left eye and looked at Mei Terumi.
"Mei Terumi, did that man leave?"
Even though his eye had been gouged out, his basic sensing ability remained. He could no longer detect that man's presence.
Mei Terumi gritted her teeth and replied, "That guy is gone. I couldn't capture him… I failed to avenge you. I'm sorry."
Ao forced a smile and waved his hand. "Forget it. That guy is no ordinary powerhouse. Right now, the most important thing is the Fourth Mizukage. He's still in that cave, go check on him."
He pointed toward the cave entrance.
Mei Terumi was startled. "Got it, I'll go right away."
She hurried into the cave. Sure enough, she found the Fourth Mizukage lying on the ground, his abdomen exposed.
The sealing formula on his stomach was clearly disturbed.
A bad feeling arose in her heart, had that guy come for the tailed beast inside the Fourth Mizukage?
At that moment, the Fourth Mizukage slowly opened his eyes. But this time, his gaze wasn't emotionless. Instead, it was filled with pain, sorrow, anger, and helplessness.
He had previously been controlled by another black-clad man with an orange mask using genjutsu.
The memories of being manipulated during that time were still vivid. He never imagined that as the Fourth Mizukage, he would fail to protect the village, instead, he became the one who brought it ruin.
His heart ached with unbearable guilt.
