105: Chapter 105 Savior of the MistLight filtered through the heavy velvet curtains, and Mei Terumi awoke with a wave of exhaustion.
With the slightest movement of my fingers, I felt an indescribable discomfort all over my body, as if I had been disassembled and reassembled, feeling both sore and swollen.
She opened her eyes, staring blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling above her.A few seconds later, the fragmented, burning memories of last night flooded back into her mind.
Her cheeks instantly burned, and she instinctively shrank further into the blankets, which aggravated her previous injuries, causing her to gasp slightly.
She actually.really.
She slowly turned her head and saw that Naruto still had his eyes closed, his breathing was steady, and his sleeping face was peaceful.
She froze, too afraid to move.
After a long while, she carefully tried to move her arm away.
As soon as she touched him, his arm tightened around her, pulling her closer into his embrace.
"woke up?"
Naruto opened his eyes and looked down at her flushed cheeks.
"It seems Lord Mizukage rested well?"
Mei Terumi bit her lip and remained silent.
"Great?All she wants now is to drown this bastard!"
She gave a mumbled "hmm".
Naruto chuckled, finally releasing his grip, and stood up first, casually grabbing a robe to put on.
"Let's go, I'll take you to get something to eat and replenish your energy."
Mei Terumi, supporting herself with her limp arms, tried to sit up.
The moment her feet touched the ground, a strong, tingling sensation rushed up, causing her knees to buckle and almost causing her to collapse onto the carpet.
"Hmm."
She managed to steady herself by grabbing the table, but her legs kept shaking and she walked very awkwardly.
Naruto turned around and saw her, then walked over in a few steps and, before she could react, picked her up in his arms.
Mei Terumi gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
"You can't even walk steadily anymore?Looks like you've really been working hard these past few days."
The teasing in his words made Terumi Mei want to rip his tongue out.
She held her breath, leaned against him, and hid her blushing face.
Naruto carried her to the small dining room outside and placed her on the soft sofa.
The maid brought over some light porridge and side dishes.
Naruto waved his hand, signaling the maid to leave.
He picked up the bowl of warm porridge himself, stirred it gently with a spoon, then scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Terumi Mei's lips.
"Come on, open your mouth."
Mei Terumi looked up in astonishment, staring at him in disbelief.
Hello.hello to her?
Feeling wronged, angry, and a little bit of indescribable shame and indignation welled up in my heart.
She knew she had no right to be picky; she was his kept canary, and the fact that he was willing to feed her was perhaps already a "gift."
But the pride that belonged to the Fifth Mizukage still ached faintly in his heart.
She pursed her lips, turned her head away, and didn't want to eat.
"What?" Naruto raised an eyebrow."Do you want me to feed you differently?"
He glanced at her meaningfully, then looked at the porridge in the bowl.
Mei Terumi turned her head and glared at him fiercely.She knew that this bastard was capable of doing what he said.
In the end, she gave in.
Circumstances are beyond our control; we are under someone else's roof.
She lowered her eyelashes and, very slowly, opened her somewhat dry lips.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back.
Naruto fed her the porridge with satisfaction.
The warm porridge slid down her throat, bringing a little warmth, but it couldn't soothe the pent-up frustration in her heart.
She ate in small bites, finding the food tasteless, occasionally glancing up at him furtively.
Naruto was very patient, feeding her spoonful by spoonful.Seeing her pitiful look, he felt it tasted even better than porridge.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."
He joked, "You need to eat well to have the energy.to recover."
Mei Terumi blushed even more, lowered her head, and wished she could bury her face in the bowl.
As she mechanically swallowed her food, she cursed Naruto countless times in her mind.

Meanwhile, in Kirigakure Village.
At the street corner, three patrolling ninjas stood back to back, nervously watching a "walking corpse" with bluish-gray skin and a vacant look slowly crawling out of the sewer.
These puppets, controlled by Orochimaru with drugs and cursed seals, are immune to conventional attacks and possess immense strength, recently causing the Hidden Mist ninja a great deal of trouble.
"Watch out!Don't let them catch you!"
No sooner had the leading ninja finished speaking than a black shadow swept past like a gust of wind!
A flash of cold light!
"Pfft, pfft!Pfft!"
Three twisted heads shot into the sky, the three zombies swayed, and then fell to the ground cleanly and motionless.
A man dressed in ordinary gray ninja attire, with a slightly effeminate beauty on his face, put away the strangely shaped kunai in his hand.
On the other side, in a small market where a brawl had just taken place.
The crowd panicked, and cries and screams filled the air.
A young ninja wearing a straw hat, whose face was obscured except for a pair of calm, dark eyes, moved swiftly through the chaotic crowd.
He acted with lightning speed, knocking out several thugs who were taking advantage of the chaos to steal property and create panic, and throwing them out of the crowd, while simultaneously directing the evacuation in an orderly manner.
"Go east!Don't push!"
His arrival quickly stabilized the situation of the riot.
Similar scenes began to unfold in various corners of Kirigakure where trouble was brewing.
The two call themselves "Snake Nine" and "Feather Sword," seemingly mysterious ninjas who appeared out of nowhere.They are highly skilled, keep a low profile, and always appear when the Hidden Mist ninjas are in the most troublesome situation or when the villagers are in the most danger, quickly resolving the problem.
They never take credit; after resolving a problem, they usually just offer a few words of comfort and then quietly leave.
At first, people were wary.
But as they solved more and more problems, demonstrated increasing strength, and remained humble, the villagers of Kirigakure began to look at them with gratitude.
"Thanks to Lord Snake Nine and Lord Feather Sword."
"Yes, if it weren't for them, my husband might have."
"Much better than those secret police units that only investigate disturbances but never catch the real culprits!"
Their reputation gradually spread among the fearful and uneasy villagers of Wuyin.
Although the elders and the Mizukage Mizunoshiro remained suspicious and wary of these two people of unknown origin, their appearance was undoubtedly a lifeline in this time when no one could solve the predicament.
People began to gossip in private, calling them "the saviors of Kirigakure".

In the shadowy base of the Land of Rain, the enormous white cocoon enveloping Obito slowly twitched.
A crack appeared on the surface of the cocoon, revealing Obito's face, which was contorted with weakness and pain.
Obito struggled to open his remaining eye, his consciousness seemingly emerging little by little from a dark swamp.
pain...
My whole body aches, especially my back and internal organs, which feel as if they are barely stuck together.
He's too weak right now!
Naruto Uzumaki.Sage Mode.
This broken body, these no longer perfect eyes.
Kakashi.
The left eye that was left with him.
With two kaleidoscopes converging, could.they compensate for the spatial talent that was stripped away?.And make one stronger?
Take that eye back!
Once the idea took hold, it grew as rapidly as weeds.
The intense emotional turmoil aggravated his injuries, causing his vision to go black and his consciousness to fade once more.Only the thought of gouging out his own eyes remained, swirling repeatedly in his mind.
The white cocoon closed up, wrapping him up again.
