Chapter 93: Transformed
The Next Day
The Land of Waves
In the Konoha Battalion Camp
Inside Luo Lei's tent
Mei, who had just been violated again, sat silently on the bed. Terrible scenes flashed through her mind, and tears began to fill her beautiful green eyes.
"Damn pervert! A real monster!" Mei murmured with a broken voice, her body trembling at the memory of what had happened.
She never thought Luo Lei could be so... cruel.
"When you wake up in the morning, shouldn't you rinse your mouth first?" Mikoto, who was already awake, approached with a compassionate smile, holding a cup of warm water.
"Rinse your mouth, Mei. Take a deep breath, eat something. It's a new day... We must move on."
"You..." Mei looked at Mikoto in disbelief, her voice trembling with frustration and pain. She wanted to shout at her, but seeing the calm in Mikoto's eyes, she just let out a heavy sigh.
She took the glass of water and began rinsing her mouth, trying to wash away the bitter taste.
"You're very young; you still don't understand," Mikoto said with a melancholic smile. "Actually, Luo Lei isn't as bad as you think."
"How can you say that?" Mei's eyes widened in shock.
"He's not that bad?! He's a ruthless bastard, he does whatever he wants because no one can stop him! How can you justify that? He's insane!"
"The strong have certain privileges, Mei."
Mikoto sighed, not bothering to argue. There was a shadow of sadness in her gaze. "I used to be a tool, a pawn for the Uchiha clan. I never had the power to decide my own fate... I was never the owner of my life."
Mikoto looked off into the distance, remembering her past. "But now, I'm someone even the Uchiha clan fears. Futian, the patriarch, lowers his head when he sees me. This time, when I return to Konoha, I'll find a way to become the leader of the clan."
A smile appeared on her face, full of determination. "Since the era of clan wars, the Uchiha clan has never had a matriarch. I'll break that curse and be the first matriarch of the Uchiha clan."
Mei opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn't come out. Mikoto was filled with so much conviction and hope for the future that Mei couldn't help but feel small in front of her.
She admired her.
The Uchiha clan had used Mikoto as a tool for marriage... And what was she, if not a mere bargaining chip for Kirigakure? Even Genji, whom she had always considered a father, had treated her like a tool.
Nothing more than a piece to use and discard.
"Should I do the same...?"
For a moment, she was filled with uncertainty. She had always been a super genius, the master of her own destiny in Kirigakure. But now, the high command of her village had betrayed her, thrown her future away as if it had no value.
"Relax, Mei... relax."
Mikoto smiled and shook her head, seeing Mei's internal struggle. "You could become the Fourth Mizukage. If Kirigakure's high command can't be trusted, why not take power yourself? Become the Mizukage and rule Kirigakure your way."
Mikoto's voice became energetic, full of passion.
"When you become the Fourth Mizukage, you'll be the Queen of Kirigakure. You can change everything."
"You can make things fair."
Mikoto's words made a flash of hope cross Mei's green eyes.
Could it be true? Could she become the Mizukage of Kirigakure?
She had never thought of that; she had always been so focused on training and improving... But now, with Luo Lei backing her, the idea of becoming Mizukage didn't seem impossible. And anyone who dared challenge her would face the power she had by her side.
As she thought about this, Mei felt a vague regret. She hadn't cooperated with Luo Lei the night before, and she didn't know if he would be upset about it.
After a few seconds of silence, she finally made up her mind. She clenched her teeth, turned to Mikoto, and asked, "Mikoto... what should I do now?"
"I'll tell you..." Mikoto smiled, leaned toward Mei, and began whispering in her ear.
"That...? Do you really think it will work...?"
"Trust me!"
"But it's... it's so embarrassing!"
"Don't worry," Mikoto winked at her with complicity. "Do as I say, and you'll definitely get what you want."

At this moment, inside another large tent.
Luo Lei, who was discussing some matters with Futian, had a barely perceptible smile on his face.
Mikoto, as always, was his reliable right hand. If Mei did exactly as Mikoto had instructed, he would give her certain benefits.
"Luo Lei-sama, did you really just release over 2,000 Mist ninjas without demanding any conditions?" Futian asked after thinking for a moment, a trace of concern in his voice. "If we do this, Konoha's high officials will definitely be dissatisfied..."
"I don't care."
Luo Lei shrugged. "Konoha's high command is nothing but a group of incompetent idiots."
"Well!" Futian had no other response than to nod. With that clear answer from Luo Lei, he felt secure.
He made a decision in his mind. Konoha's high officials wanted to use the more than 2,000 Kirigakure prisoners as leverage to force the village to sign unfair treaties, but now that they had been released, they would have to deal directly with Luo Lei.
Thinking of the faces of Konoha's high command, led by the Hokage, made Futian's heart fill with renewed enthusiasm.
"Alright, that's all!" Luo Lei stretched. "Order the Konoha army to prepare. We're leaving here."
"Understood, I'll make the necessary arrangements." Futian nodded again, turned on his heels, and left the tent.
"Now... it's time to go to the battlefield in the Land of Hot Water and reap the harvest!" After Futian left, a cold glint shone in Luo Lei's eyes. This time, his strength had increased considerably, and he needed to test his new limits.
"Damn... I can't wait any longer..."
Whistle
A whistling sound filled the tent as Luo Lei's body suddenly disappeared.
After about four long hours of in-depth work with Mei.
Luo Lei and Mei finally emerged from the tent.
Mei leaned against Luo Lei, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist as she buried her head in his chest, trying to hide the shame she felt from everything they had done inside the tent during those hours.
Luo Lei, on the other hand, held her with an arm around her shoulders.
"Luo Lei-sama..." Mei murmured, her head still resting on his chest. She felt pain in every corner of her body, but the hardest thing was facing the whirlpool of emotions inside her.
Her cheeks were deeply flushed. "Are you really willing to help me take the position of Mizukage?"
"Hmm!" Luo Lei nodded, a satisfied smile on his face. "What's it to help you become the Fourth Mizukage? It's a minor matter!"
Mei looked up slightly, her eyes full of gratitude. "Thank you..." she said softly, with deep solemnity.
Mikoto was right; the strong had privileges. Luo Lei had taken her, yes, but he had also offered her power. Now she saw her path clearly.
Luo Lei looked at her and, without saying more, pulled her closer against his chest. "Let's go!" he said with a carefree smile.
To him, putting Mei in the Mizukage position was a trivial matter. While holding her, he looked ahead, with no doubt in his actions.
Besides.
If he remembered correctly, in the canon, Mei became the Fifth Mizukage, but it was just before the Fourth World War. Now he was simply advancing the inevitable events.
...
Ten Minutes Later
Luo Lei brought Mei to the front of the over 2,000 Mist ninja troops that had already gathered.
The whole place was completely silent!!!
The eyes of many Kirigakure ninjas fell on Luo Lei, their gazes filled with caution. Fear filled the air; each of them swallowed hard, not even daring to breathe.
Even Yagura and Mahoraga were tense, their faces showing a mix of doubt and fear.
Since the moment Luo Lei had captured them, he hadn't revealed his intentions for them. That uncertainty was beginning to consume their minds.
"Today, I'm here to give you good news: You may return to Kirigakure."
Luo Lei's voice resonated calmly. He looked at the more than 2,000 ninjas gathered in front of him and continued, "From now on, the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure will be Mei Terumī. Does anyone... have any opinions?"
"We... can go back to Kirigakure?!"
"What?!"
"How is that possible?! Mei Terumī as the Fourth Mizukage?!"
Luo Lei's voice fell, and what had been a silent place turned into a bustle.
In an instant, more than 2,000 Mist Ninjas couldn't help but show expressions of horror. Their gazes turned to Mei, who stood next to Luo Lei.
What?
The young Mei would be the Fourth Mizukage?
Were they joking?
There was no doubt that none of the more than 2,000 ninjas expected to hear those words. The idea of a Konoha shinobi deciding the new Mizukage... was a direct insult to Kirigakure.
It was as if he were underestimating their pride and history. Who was he to decide the future of their village?
"This..."
Yagura was stunned. After the death of the Third Mizukage, as the Mizukage's confidant and Anbu captain, he should have been the best candidate for the Fourth Mizukage.
But it seemed that dream was slipping away right before his eyes.
"Impossible..."
Mahoraga also showed an incredulous expression. What was Luo Lei trying to do? What was his real objective with this absurd declaration?
"Can't I...?"
Hearing the growing doubt in the murmurs of the Mist ninjas, Mei's face turned pale. She felt the weight of the skeptical stares upon her, and the pressure of facing the distrust of so many ninjas was beginning to be unbearable.
Why did Luo Lei have to say it that way?
She knew this would only feed rejection and resistance.
"I'm not discussing it with you!"
Luo Lei's cold voice resonated throughout the camp. "I am declaring what will happen. Understand?"
His eyes began to glow with an intense red light, and a menacing aura filled the air.
"It seems I've been too kind to you... Die!"
Zzzzzz
His voice fell like a death sentence, and without any prior warning, two crimson rays shot from his eyes towards the Mist army.
Fsssshhh
Fsssshhh
The laser beams struck the ninjas at the front with devastating force.
The sound of bodies being pierced by hot energy echoed brutally.
The more than 300 Mist ninjas who were at the front were eliminated one by one before they could even react.
For a while, the air was filled with agonizing screams.
