Chapter 717: What to Choose

Chapter 717: What to Choose

At night, Mei sits on the roof of the cabin, looking up at the stars and the moon. The night breeze is slightly cold, bringing with it the chatter of the demonstrators outside the inn.

There have been more and more people protesting outside in the past few days, and the sit-in demonstrations have almost turned into violent demonstrations, with the intention of storming the inn.

Mei not only does not panic, but even a little happy.

Because this change must be caused by the sudden deterioration of the situation outside!

Then, she thought of her agreement with Orochimaru.

‘Could this be the time Orochimaru said?’

Mei narrowed her eyes, and her exotic green pupils filled with a hint of contemplation: ‘Do I really want to work with Orochimaru to find Sanbi?’

‘If Sanbi is really in Konoha, it must be in an extremely hidden place, such as...Konoha’s Anbu’s Headquarters!’

‘If so, what kind of ‘opportunity’ would allow two outsiders, Orochimaru and me, to sneak into the Konoha’s Anbu’s Headquarters?’

‘Rebellion?’

‘Coup-d’état?’

‘Or something else?’

Mei can’t think of it, but she can be sure that once she finds Sanbi in Konoha, Konoha will most likely kill her, Ao and the others in order to prevent the leakage of information, or imprison them for life!

‘Moreover, Orochimaru can’t be completely trusted. Who knows if he is taking advantage of me?’

‘Then, should we act together with Orochimaru?’

Mei listened to the small movements coming from outside the inn, and felt upset. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that after entering Konoha, there were countless invisible spider threads entwining her. The more she moved, the tighter the thread on her body became, and the more she was forced to move!

While she was distracted, an afterimage suddenly rushed from behind.

Mei's eyes widened suddenly, and then slowly narrowed.

“Who?” When three Kirigakure’s Jonin heard the noise, they immediately jumped out of their cabins.

“It’s a Konoha’s Shinobi.”

Mei waved her hand, “It’s none of your business.”

“Terumi Mei-sama, be careful!” The three Kirigakure’s Jonin got into their cabins again.

“I didn't expect that I would meet you just by walking around.”

Kanpū, who left Tenzo behind, jumped on the roof neatly, pretending to meet Mei by chance.

He looked at Mei's graceful and sexy back seriously, slowly approached, and said, “Are you admiring the moon?”

Mei sat on the roof, with her arms supporting on the ground. She then raised her head slightly, and her brown hair hanging like a waterfall behind her, exuding a light fragrance.

‘This must be the real Mei. There’s no mistake.’

Kanpū quietly raised a hint of respect.

“Like you, I just want to confirm whether Sanbi is really in Konoha or not. As for the others, it has nothing to do with me or you.”

Orochimaru smiled coldly, “And now, the time is ripe, tomorrow is the day!”

“Tomorrow... What will happen tomorrow?” Mei looked at Orochimaru cautiously.

“You are really cautious. Since you want to know, let me tell you.”

Orochimaru coldly said, “Tomorrow, there will be a rebellion, coup-d’état and various terrorist attacks in Konoha. It’s the best time for us to act!”

‘Rebellion, coup-d’état, terrorist attacks?’

Mei’s heart moved, ‘Kanpū specially ran over to remind me tonight... Has Konoha already noticed it?’

‘But Kanpū said that I shouldn’t go out the next few days, which means that Konoha does not know the specific time will be tomorrow.’

“How is it?” Orochimaru looked at Terumi Mei with playful look and asked with a smile, “Are you going to tell Konoha this information, or are you going to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a glimpse of the inside of Konoha's Anbu’s Headquarters?”

“Konoha's Anbu’s Headquarters...” Mei’s eyes narrowed.

‘Is Sanbi really there?’

“It’s time to make your choice, Terumi Mei.” Orochimaru said.

“I need time to think about it!” Terumi Mei said solemnly.

“After dawn, various rebellious actions will start. You don't have time to think about it.”

Orochimaru chuckled and said, “Tell me the answer now!”

‘Then, I choose to... look from the sidelines!’ Mei thought coldly.

Telling Konoha the information about the rebellion, and then ask Konoha to prepare in advance, so that Konoha can preserve its vitality as much as possible? Mei, as Kirigakure’s Elite Jonin, would never do it!

With the current situation of the Shinobi World, the weaker Konoha is, the better it is for Kirigakure!

So if a rebellion broke out in Konoha, Mei had no reason to help Konoha!

But sneaking into the Konoha’s Anbu’s Headquarters...

If Sanbi is really found inside, then she will either die or be imprisoned, and the rest of her companions will also be affected.

If Sanbi is not found, then Konoha will definitely make a fuss about this matter and launch a counter on Kirigakure!

In this case, it’s better to just watch from the sidelines. Even if she doesn’t go, Orochimaru will have to break into the Konoha’s Anbu’s Headquarters. If he really finds Sanbi inside, he will naturally spread the word, right?

But...

If she just rejected Orochimaru like this, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't do something drastic. She is not afraid, but she had to consider Ao and the rest of her companions.

So Mei had no choice but to nod and said: “For the sake of my village’s Sanbi, I choose to act with you!”

Orochimaru smiled happily: “Very good, then come with me now.”
