Qu Gu is his partner and a chuunin. In Terumi Mei's impression, the two of them are responsible for looking after the forest lake in the center of the island.
Logically speaking, it should be the safest location on the island, so why would something go wrong
"Don't worry, make things clear."
Not only for the task, but also to satisfy the curiosity in his heart, Terumi Mei's fighting spirit ignited in his heart.
"It's like this. Qu Gu and I were patrolling in the forest as usual, but that guy Qu Gu suddenly said that he heard some noise in the lake and insisted on going over to take a look."
This inner lake is about two kilometers in diameter. There is also a piece of land on the lake for people to stay. It should be built to satisfy the entertainment of those big shots.
And rather than saying that it is an inner lake, it is better to say that the lake was originally sea water, but it was forced to become an inner lake by the ninja who used earth escape to build a small island around it.
If there is any place on this island where anomalies may occur, then it is only there!
After all, the lake is connected to the sea, and what exists in the sea is beyond Terumi Mei's control.
"When we were less than a hundred meters away from the lake, we discovered that the front had been covered by thick fog. Even in a foggy village, I had never seen that level of fog. It seemed like only If you step away, you will lose the companions you were walking with before."
"I told Qu Gu to come back and report to you first, but that guy also used the words 'A great chuunin, but retreated under the fog, that's really funny.' This kind of words taunted me. At his insistence, I went to the fog with him... and the result... "
"What's the result... Tell me quickly?" Seeing his hesitant look, Terumi Mei immediately shouted
What she hates most is people who only half-talk!
"I...I didn't see clearly either."
There seemed to be tears in the eyes of this ninja, and he choked up and said, "Not long after I entered, I lost Qu Gu's whereabouts under the thick fog. Just when I wanted to go back, I heard Qu Gu's wailing. , I will never forget that sound in my life, it was like being dragged down to hell, with countless evil ghosts eating away at his soul one by one... full of despair and deathly silence."
Terumi Mei frowned and asked, "Where is Qu Gu's body?"
"If only a piece of skull is left, it can be considered a corpse..." The ninja swallowed and said dullly, "I placed it outside the central forest."
"Only a piece of skull is left..." Terumi Mei squinted her eyes, thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Take me there and have a look."
"… All right… "
Although the ninja seemed reluctant, he did not dare to resist Terumi Mei's order due to the overwhelming pressure of the official level, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk towards his inspection location.
"hurry up!"
Terumi Mei raised her eyebrows, "If something unexpected happens here, it will make the Daimyo angry. If the Daimyo is angry, the Mizukage will also be angry. When the time comes, you, a little Chuunin..."
"I understand! Let's go now!"
The ninja was heartbroken, quickened his pace, and soon brought Terumi Mei to the place he mentioned. Although the trees here were artificially transplanted, they looked lush and leafy, but there seemed to be beasts roaring inside. It revealed a disturbing aura.
The bird that was originally parked on the branch is now spreading its wings and flying high. Leaving here, the squirrels, rabbits and other ornamental animals in the ground are also galloping in their direction.
It seems as if these dense forests are blockades, and deep in the blockade area there is an ancient ferocious beast that chooses people to eat and is breaking through the seal, spreading its terrifying residual power to its fullest, looking at the trembling little animals. We, get a little bit of joy.
"It's really weird..."
Terumi Mei muttered.
Feeling the almost substantial majesty, she lowered her head and looked at the ninja who had already collapsed on the ground. "Hey, don't tell me that you entered the forest with this momentum."
"No...!" The ninja seemed to have collapsed. "It wasn't like this just before... There was only that thick fog before... No, no, the thick fog is more terrifying than this momentum!"
It's really useless...
Looking at the ninja whose pupils were dilated and he almost didn't know what he was talking about, Terumi Mei felt a burst of contempt in his heart.
A ninja may not have any strength, but if he gets heartbroken and explodes so easily, it can only be said to be useless...
I don’t know how this guy got promoted to chuunin...
"You go notify the boundary team and ask them to always be alert to whether there are suspicious people outside." She said disgustedly
"yes!"
This time, his voice was much more decisive than before, and his actions were much faster, leaving Terumi Mei speechless for a while.
After he left, Terumi Mei took out the flare. After notifying the patrol to come over, she touched her chin and looked at the various figures moving in the forest, observing the thick fog slowly creeping in the depths. Thinking.
The mist seemed to move very slowly, but in just a quarter of an hour it had eroded almost half of the forest, and the distance to Terumi Mei was less than 500 meters.
"grown ups!"
At this time, the patrol squad finally arrived. They were a group of five, consisting of two chunin and three genin.
"The Wind Release ninja uses Wind Release to see if he can blow away the mist."
Fog is essentially tiny water droplets suspended in the air. As long as the wind is strong enough, the fog can be blown away.
One chuunin and two genin nodded, and then looked at the spreading mist, a little surprised.
Even they, being Kirigakure, had never seen this level of mist.
But they didn't ask deeply. After all, as a ninja, it was enough to concentrate on completing their tasks.
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
"Wind Release·Blow the Wind!"
"Wind Release·Wind Cut!"
The three ninjas each took out their own special ninjutsu, and three wind escape ninjutsus of varying power were blasted into the thick fog, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea, with no effect at all, not even a ripple...
"this… "
Although he knew it was impossible to blow away the thick fog just like that, Terumi Mei was still a little disappointed when the result appeared.
"If you can't use wind escape, you can still use fire escape. Work with me to evaporate these water drops!"
Terumi Mei has two blood inheritance limits, 'Boiling Release' and 'Melt Release'. The Boiling Release is the fusion of the changes in the properties of fire-type chakra and the changes in the properties of water-type chakra. Of course, it is better than the single fire type. Stronger.
Following her order, two chuunin stood up beside her, formed seals together, and then shouted
"Boiling Escape·Steam Kill!"
"Fire Escape·Su-burning Technique!"
"Fire Release: Fire Walking Technique!"
The high-temperature gas that Terumi Mei exhaled combined with the blazing flames from both sides was instantly powerful, and he sank into the thick fog with a hiss.
However…
Still useless!
Looking at the thick fog that was still slowly moving like a monster, Terumi Mei opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment...
