"So beautiful …"
Looking at the girl in front of her, who was slightly older than her, Rin couldn't help but exclaim.
Empress Shōmei's facial features were indeed very delicate, especially her eyes that were as clear as emeralds.
However, she didn't give people the impression that she was weak. Between her beautiful brows, there was a heroic spirit.
Kakashi saw this and frowned slightly, because an Anbu ninja's appearance can't be easily shown to others.
Since Empress Shōmei did this, she wanted to show her sincerity to Kakashi and Rin.
She really wanted to help them get out of their predicament.
"I'm sorry."
Kakashi immediately apologized for doubting her, but even now, he didn't fully trust the person in front of him.
Regardless of whether she really wanted to help him or not, this was a good opportunity for him and Lin to escape.
Looking at Kakashi's eyes flashing, Empress Shōmei already knew that it wasn't easy to gain their complete trust.
However, she didn't have any resentment in her heart.
After all, these two were captured by the Mist, if they trusted her, then their vigilance and the teachings of Watergate senpai were too poor.
Even if she really let these two go now, if they don't have a certain ability, they won't be able to escape from the Mist's pursuit.
On the entire island, in addition to her, there was another guard, so naturally, the escape of these two couldn't be hidden for long.
"In that case, I will tell you the escape plan now." Empress Shōmei chuckled and said.
“.....”
"Do we have to hurt you?"
After listening to Empress Shōmei's plan, Rin frowned.
In her eyes, the former was Kakashi's savior, but they had to hurt her.
"This is necessary, you don't have to worry about it."
"On the contrary, if you don't do this, you'll be harming me" Empress Shōmei looked into Lin's eyes and solemnly declared.
Kakashi understood Lin's concerns and immediately explained: "If she wasn't injured and we ran away, she wouldn't be able to explain herself to her superiors"
Lin was no fool. How could she not understand the logic behind it? But …
"Will the people of the Mist Village believe it?" Lin muttered.
Kakashi frowned when he heard this. He looked up at Empress Shōmei and said, "I think … this is indeed a problem. However, given her status, even if she is discovered, her family should be able to protect her."
"Smart little fellow, how did you guess it? Is it because of my surname?"
A faint smile appeared on Empress Shōmei's face. How could she not have thought of the possibility that Kakashi and Rin had considered?
"Yes, my father is the current head of the Terumi Clan, Terumi Shōmei."
The two people in front of her had a slight change in expression. Mei Tian was the leader of the Mist Army that invaded the Fire Country. She was the leader of the Mist Army.
Although Kakashi expected that Empress Shōmei might be the descendant of the Terumi Clan, he didn't expect her to be Terumi Shōmei's daughter.
"Your sensei also knows about this. If you successfully escape from the Mist, you can ask him."
Empress Shōmei's words dispelled Kakashi's doubts.
Otherwise, the latter would suspect that she was in cahoots with Terumi Meitian and set them up for some unknown purpose.
"Thank you."
Kakashi bowed deeply to Empress Shōmei.
After all, although her family had a very high status in the Mist village, it was still risky to let them go.
Empress Shōmei sighed at the quick thinking of the two disciples of Watergate. She looked at the two in front of her and said: "There is a sentence that may sound hypocritical coming from my mouth."
"I don't agree that the Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Water Kingdoms' invasion of the Fire Kingdom is correct. It is our side that started the war first. Even if we are enemies, I sincerely want to say … I am sorry to all of you."
Kakashi and Rin looked at each other, then Kakashi said: "Empress Shōmei -san, the war wasn't what we wanted, so you don't need to apologize."
"In any case, you saved me and Rin, we should thank you."
The two looked at each other and sincerely looked at Empress Shōmei.
Empress Shōmei smiled and then handed the special kunai in her hand to Kakashi.
"This kunai, after you escape, you must carry it with you."
"I believe that Watergate -san already knows about your situation, so he will definitely try his best to get out of the front line and save you."
Watergate is now Wood Leaf's highest combat power, his strength can determine the outcome of the war.
But because of this, he can't act as he pleases.
But he gave his kunai to Kakashi and Rin, this shows how important these two people are in his heart.
"Yeah."
Kakashi and Rin didn't deny it and nodded heavily.
"These are some soldier food pills, you can use them to replenish your strength at any time." Empress Shōmei took out a bag and handed it to the two.
.....
"Clang!"
On the small island, the sound of ninja weapons colliding with each other was heard.
"Ah!"
On the edge of the island, Empress Shōmei made a painful sound, her left shoulder was hit by Kakashi's attack.
"Rin, let's go!"
Kakashi grabbed Rin, who was looking at Empress Shōmei with a guilty expression, and then used the Body Flicker Technique to the extreme.
Whoosh!
Soon after, a figure appeared beside Empress Shōmei and asked in surprise, "What happened!?"
Empress Shōmei covered her injured left shoulder and said while biting her silver teeth, "The two hostages escaped …"
"How did you take care of the hostages!"
The Mist ninja was angry and stared at Empress Shōmei who was wearing a mask in front of him, but the former was an Anbu directly under the Sandaime Mizukage, so he had no right to blame her.
Immediately, the latter stared fiercely at Empress Shōmei and rushed in the direction of another island.
Looking at his departure, Empress Shōmei's expression under the mask didn't change at all.
She knew that the person was afraid of taking the responsibility, so he went back to report it first and put the blame on her.
She can't be idle here, otherwise, she will be in a passive position.
Empress Shōmei glanced at the direction where Kakashi and Rin escaped and sighed.
"I hope you can return to your companions smoothly."
After that, she also left in the direction of the previous Mist ninja.
At this time, on the island, the Mist ninja who left before slowly walked out of a cave with a gloomy smile on his face.
Then, his face changed dramatically, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a pure white face.
It was White Zetsu.
White Zetsu smiled ferociously and then gradually sneaked into the ground and disappeared.
