The surface of the water was as smooth as a mirror, without a single wrinkle. However, no one knew what kind of undercurrent was under the water, swallowing and consuming the fresh life.
After Shikamaru reported back to Tsunade, nothing happened. Kiba's wheels rolled forward as usual, preparing for the signing of the alliance agreement.
The date of the agreement in half a month was in front of them in a blink of an eye. The entire Kiba Village was decorated with lanterns and streamers to celebrate the upcoming arrival of the Water Country and the Mist messenger.
In order to show the prosperity and strength of Kiba and to take the initiative in the alliance, Tsunade put in a lot of effort. The police force, Anbu, and Root were all busy fighting the outlaws, eliminating the spies, and ensuring the success of the alliance.
For this reason, Root dispatched 30 squads to patrol around the village in shifts to prevent any uninvited guests from approaching. In addition, the Anbu squads also had another set of defense system, double protection, in case something similar to Orochimaru's attack happens again.
When Orochi Maru and Sakura Shinobu attacked Kiba, half of the village was burned. Later, the Akatsuki rushed into the Sand Crypsis Village and kidnapped My Love, almost blowing up the village. These two incidents can be said to be the dark history of Kiba and Sakura Shinobu. During the Shinobi World War, no one came to their doorstep, but during the peaceful era, the village was almost destroyed.
Therefore, recently, the atmosphere on the streets of Kiba changed. Not to mention some dangerous people, even all the pickpockets and ruffians were thrown into prison. Morina Ibiki was also very busy recently. The prison was full of people, and in the end, he had to find Aoyama to use the underground prison of Root to lock up so many criminals.
Southwest of Kiba Village, about five or six miles away, a group of people was moving towards Kiba.
The entire team consisted of about twenty people, all of whom were wearing the Mist Headband. Their eyes were shining as they vigilantly observed their surroundings. Looking at their slightly bulging muscles and their postures, they were all experts.
In the middle of the group was a tall woman. Her brown hair was slightly curly and her left eye was covered by her hair. Only her green right eye was exposed. It was as beautiful as an emerald and was full of charm. She was wearing an off-the-shoulder aqua blue dress. Every move she made was full of flirtatious charm.
All the Mist Shinobis faintly formed a circle to protect the beautiful woman in the center, the Fifth Mizukage, Mei.
To be able to suppress all the strong people in the village and become the Mizukage, Mei naturally wasn't a mediocre person. Although her identity as a woman caused a lot of hostility from the Mist Ninjas, with her means and charm, she also gained many loyal supporters. From the respectful eyes of the guards around her, it can be seen that they were willing to go through fire and water for her, even if it meant going through fire and water.
"Chojuro, how far is it until we reach Kiba?" Mei looked up at the sun that was getting hotter and hotter, and the bright light made her reach out to cover her eyes.
"Soon, I think. About five more miles." A weak voice sounded, and a small Mist Ninja beside Mei answered nervously. It was a very casual question, but it made him sweat on his forehead.
"Don't be so nervous, Chojuro, relax." Terumi Mei comforted Chojichirou. "Have more confidence in yourself. Your strength has been recognized by me."
"I will work hard …" Chojuro's face showed a touch of excitement, and he clenched his fists.
At this moment, a figure came from the front, and the two Mist Ninjas in front instantly took out their kunai and prepared to fight at any time.
"Is it Mizukage-sama?"
The person didn't rush to approach, and he raised his hands to show that he didn't carry a weapon. He looked around and his eyes fell on Mei. "Mizukage-sama, I'm Nara Shikamaru from Kiba. I'm here to greet you by Hokage-sama's order."
Shikamaru was dressed very well, and his expression was solemn. He didn't look lazy at all. Kiba Ninjas appeared behind Shikamaru, a total of 12 people, and a total of four squads were waiting behind Shikamaru.
"Chojuro, put away your sword." Mei stretched out her hand and rubbed Chojuro's head. When Shikamaru appeared, Chojuro pulled out his sword and blocked in front of her.
Mei stepped forward and looked at Shikamaru and nodded slightly. "Did Hokage-sama send you?"
"Yes."
"Then, lead the way." Mei waved her hand and looked at Shikamaru who turned around. She secretly began to ponder. She didn't expect to meet the Nara Clan here.
The Mist Village had a very long history of war with Kiba. They collected information about the major clans of Kiba. Even during the Blood Mist period, they didn't give up collecting information about Kiba. The Nara Clan not only had the Shadow Secret Jutsu, but they also had a high IQ.
In addition to Shikamaru, the other 12 Kiba Ninjas were very fierce, and their murderous aura was not inferior to the Mist Ninjas.
Is this a show of strength? Mei secretly thought, and her green eyes flashed. She glanced at this group of Konoha Ninjas. They were all tough guys, and they were definitely the kind of guys who crawled out of a pile of corpses.
As soon as she came up, she asked the Nara family's kid to bring these murderous guys to pick them up. Mei's heart was now aroused. She wanted to see how powerful the once famous Sannin was.
She beckoned the guards behind her to continue on their way. The two teams merged into one and rushed together.
Chojuro's face was tense at this time, and his hands were hanging in the air. It was convenient for him to quickly draw his sword. Although the Kiba Ninjas were here to pick them up, he still retained the good habits of the Mist Ninjas and never let his guard down.
Shikamaru has been paying attention to the changes in Terumi Mei's expression. However, this beautiful woman has always had a charming smile on her face. Other than that, he couldn't see any changes. She chatted with Shikamaru as if nothing had happened. She kept asking about all kinds of things, astronomy, geography, and even spied on some confidential information.
Shikamaru also dealt with it carefully. When he saw the high wall and the gate in the distance, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Sure enough, these Kages weren't simple. Whether it was strength or eloquence, they weren't weak.
"The Kiba Village is in front, Mizukage-sama." Shikamaru carefully reached out and pointed to the front. "Hokage-sama is waiting for you in the Hokage Building."
"This is Kiba?"
Mei narrowed her eyes and stared at the high wall and the open gate. Her interest was unconsciously piqued.
