It took Seisuke a long time to soothe the crying Mei Terumī. Although she would become the Fifth Mizukage in the future, she was just a little girl at the moment.
The apple in her mouth was taken out and placed aside. With red - rimmed eyes, she looked at Seisuke in front of her and said, "You bastard!"
"Yes, yes, I'm a bastard! I'm a bad guy!"
At this moment, he would agree to whatever she said. He really didn't want to go through the process of calming her down again. Come to think of it... Why didn't I knock her out just now?
"..."
Ah, I'm such an idiot!
Seisuke even wanted to slap himself, but since he had already soothed her, there was nothing he could do.
He asked, "Lady Mei, how did you find me today?"
"Humph!"
Mei Terumī turned her head away, not wanting to answer this question.
"Tsk."
A small snake crawled out of his sleeve. Seisuke said, "Well, what do you say? If you don't tell me, this snake will crawl into your mouth and then into your stomach. And then, it will wriggle around inside. A friendly reminder, this is a female snake, and spring has just passed. What do you think will happen?"
Mei Terumī's face turned pale with fright. "You perverted guy! If you dare to do that, I'll kill you if I get the chance!"
As long as you tell me, we can still be friends."
"Pah! Who wants to be friends with a pervert like you?"
Seisuke looked dejected and turned his head away sadly. "I thought we were friends. I finally made a friend..."
His expression and eyes were like a puppy abandoned by its owner on a snowy night, making people feel sorry for him.
Mei Terumī couldn't help but feel pity. "We... we are friends! Your body temperature is higher than that of ordinary people. I could feel it when I got close to you!"
So that's how it is.
If she hadn't said it, he really wouldn't have noticed. Orochimaru had mentioned it before, but he hadn't paid attention. Now it seemed that it could affect the Transformation Technique?
Did she notice it keenly when he walked past her in the morning?
Why is she so perceptive?
"Why are you so perceptive? How long have you been observing me?" Seisuke widened his eyes and took a few steps back. He didn't expect this girl to be so meticulous in her observations.
This is terrifying! This is terrifying!
Mei Terumī blushed and quickly explained, "No, don't misunderstand! It's just that last time in the hospital... when you were changing my dressing..." She was originally going to explain to prevent Seisuke from thinking she was a frivolous girl, but then she suddenly thought of what happened in the hospital and got angry.
"Ah, right. The decoration in your room is really nice. Unlike my place, which is just ordinary."
He quickly changed the subject.
But even though she was tied up, Mei Terumī still showed her fighting spirit. She used both legs to kick at him.
"Whoa!"
He caught her and grinned. "This is the first time someone has thrown themselves into my arms. You're such a naughty girl."
He chopped her neck with a hand - knife, deciding to let the girl sleep for a while.
He retracted the snake that was binding her, carried her to the bed, covered her with the quilt, and then, transformed into Mei Terumī's appearance, walked out.
Taking advantage of the night, he sneaked into the kitchen and found some pastries. As expected of a wealthy family, the pastries tasted great!
After having his fill, he patted his belly and returned to Mei Terumī's room.
This place was nice. At least it was safe until Mei Terumī woke up.
He sat cross - legged in the room and started thinking about how to lower his body temperature.
Due to his ability, his body temperature was a bit higher than that of ordinary people. Usually, it didn't matter, but when he used chakra, his body temperature would increase.
For example, when using the Transformation Technique now, his body temperature was higher than before.
"No, I can't subconsciously draw fire - attribute chakra. I should use wind - attribute chakra."
When others used the Transformation Technique, their chakra had no attribute. However, due to Seisuke's special constitution, for some jutsus that didn't require attribute - specific chakra, he would use fire - attribute chakra.
For instance, when ordinary people used the Three Body Techniques, they used chakra without an attribute, but he would subconsciously use fire - attribute chakra.
He had to change this, or it would get him killed sooner or later.
He started to adjust his chakra.
Chakra initially had no attribute. As jutsus were used, it began to be divided into different attributes. The same was true for ordinary people when they condensed chakra to become ninjas. Later, with the use of jutsus, corresponding attribute chakra was born in their bodies.
In Seisuke's body, aside from the initial fire and wind attributes, there was also water - attribute chakra, although it wasn't as powerful as the previous two.
A ninja's energy was limited. Even an average jounin was proficient in two or three types of elemental jutsus. If there were more, they wouldn't have the energy to master them. Not everyone was like Hiruzen Sarutobi, the "Ninja Doctor," who could freely switch between the five elemental jutsus.
Seisuke began to convert his fire - attribute chakra into non - attribute chakra. His body temperature gradually returned to normal. This wasn't an extremely difficult task.
After returning to normal, Seisuke took a piece of paper, wrote a few words with a big brush, and then sneaked out of her house.
When Mei Terumī woke up in the morning, her neck hurt terribly. She suddenly remembered that Seisuke was still in her room. She immediately sat up and checked her clothes. Finding that they were neatly dressed and there was nothing unusual about her body, she let out a sigh of relief. Then she saw the note Seisuke left on the bedside and knew that he had left.
"I'm leaving. Goodbye."
"Who wants to see you, you bastard!"
She angrily tore up the paper, and she was in a bad mood early in the morning...
This time, Seisuke came to the Kirigakure Hospital again.
The hospital had restored order. Although something had happened, the hospital couldn't stop operating.
The task given to him by Orochimaru hadn't been completed yet. He had already obtained the Bloodline Limit of the Hozuki clan, but not those of the Minazuki and Kaguya clans.
Forget about the Terumī clan. The only special thing about that clan was probably Mei Terumī. She was probably the only one with two completely different Bloodline Limits.
He didn't want anything to happen to the future Fifth Mizukage for now.
If she were to be affected, the Terumī clan might go crazy. It was even more likely that Kirigakure would fight Konoha to the death, and it might even trigger a strong attack from other villages.
After all, Bloodline Limits were extremely important resources for a village.
What did Konoha want to do by stealing Bloodline Limits?
They didn't want such a situation to happen.
Stealing one or two might be acceptable, but stealing too many could lead to accidents.
Orochimaru was really too greedy. He would do anything for his research.
Seisuke could only force himself to continue. He had been thinking of stalling for time, waiting for Kirigakure and Konoha to start fighting. Presumably, his mission would end then.
He came to the Kirigakure Hospital to check the place out. In case the two villages didn't fight, he still had to carry out the mission.
