Chapter 50: New Image, I am Lakshmi
About a week later, when Mei Terumi was still working hard to repair her body, the crowd heading to Konohagakure had already arrived in Taki no Sato. At this time, Kakashi, Kae, Tenzo, Asuma, Akane, Fuuka and Fūka siblings, as well as Uzumaki Nagato were all inside the Taki Kage Hall, and it was chaotic here...
"What did you say? Meng Ling went to investigate the Seventh Tail over a dozen days ago and has been out of contact ever since? Is this true?" At this time, in the Takikage Hall, Fūsen no Mai was shouting loudly at Fu.
"Yes, it was about seventeen days ago. A little girl named Mugen said to Taki Kage-sama that she would go to the Mysterious Valley to investigate the Nanao's matter. Of course, we had no right to interfere, so the girl named Mugen entered the Mysterious Valley alone and never came back. That's what happened." Fū said as if it was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Don't you know how to stop her? Are you just going to watch her go to her death?" Fengquan's Dance was extremely indignant.
"I'm asking you, little girl, are you a ninja or not? Do we have to go and persuade her about this kind of thing? It's her own fault for being brainless, whose fault is it anyway? Moreover, do we even have such an obligation?" Fuli said with a straight face.
"You..." The Wind Spring Dance suddenly choked up with a burst of words.
"Alright, little girl, this isn't the time to be suspicious of everything. What's urgent is that we head to the Mysterious Valley right away and settle the matter with Shichibi, and also find out what happened to Mei Terumi." Kakashi immediately pulled back Fuu from continuing her speech as he noticed the increasingly awkward relationship between himself and Taki.
"But..."
"Kakashi-senpai is right, this isn't the time to be discussing these things. You need to realize that your companions are now fighting for their lives."
"Come on, Xiaowu, I believe Mengying won't die that easily. After all, her strength is quite impressive." Fengquan's light patted his sister's shoulder to comfort her.
"Hmm..." Upon hearing her brother's words, Fēng Quánzhī Wǔ could only respond lightly with a tone that revealed her current bad mood.
Kakashi turned to Tazuna and asked, "Tazuna-sama, we've just discussed it and decided to head out to the Mysterious Valley this afternoon. Is there any problem with that?"
"This is not a problem, we can set off at any time." Taki Kage said lightly, his words devoid of any emotion.
"It's settled then. In three hours, at exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, we'll gather outside the gates of Taki Village," Kakashi said before leading the people from Konoha out of the Taki Kage Hall.
"Mother, you said that little girl... has she really...?" Fu asked her mother somewhat unnaturally after the villagers of Konohagakure had left.
"I don't know, but if that little girl is still alive, she will definitely be a figure of great importance in the ninja world. After all, with her current strength, she can already defeat you, who are an upper-level ninja." Taki Kage's words regained a hint of emotion, and he was still very doting on his daughter.
I am that annoying divider line
Let's not talk about the plans of the various Jonin in Konoha for now, but at this time, Meng Ling, who was in the mysterious valley, had already woken up from his meditation, and his body had also recovered to its best state. Meng Ling even felt that his Mixed Yuan divine power, no, it should be said that his Chaos divine power, seemed to be more abundant, and had already produced a few drops of liquid Chaos divine power in his body.
"Whoa, I haven't moved my body for so long, it's almost petrified." With a simple little jump, Meng Leng sprang up from the ground, stretched out his body, and after a series of cracking sounds, he discovered that something was off about himself.
"What's going on? Where did my clothes go? Could it be..." Meng Ling thought of a terrible possibility.
"I won't be... that way, will I?" Thinking of this, Meng Liang hastily looked down at her own crotch...
"Hmm, it's okay, there's no blood, so what's going on here?" Meng Ling was very puzzled, but she couldn't figure out the reason.
"Since I couldn't think of anything, I might as well find a place to take a bath first." Looking around her surroundings, Meng Leng immediately ran towards a waterfall not far in front of her. After finding that there was no one around, she quietly walked into the pond in front of the waterfall and began to clean off the dirt that had accumulated on her body over the past few days.
"Ah, it's so comfortable. I didn't think there was such a wonderful place in the Naruto world." Meng Ling had already overcome his weakness to water when he was training with Kakashi, and for some reason, his elemental fruit was different from the other Devil Fruits in "One Piece". When he fell into the water, he wouldn't become powerless, but would only lose the power of his elemental fruit. This meant that Meng Ling could also fight in the water, although his combat strength was greatly reduced.
After washing her own body, Meng Leng was about to start washing that damn hair of hers, but just at this time...
"What's going on? Is the mud in this mountain going to dye my hair or something?" Looking at the strands of fine, pink hair in her hand, Meng Leng felt a great difference. So, she started using the surface of the pond as a mirror and began to observe the changes in herself, but when she looked, Meng Leng became even more shocked.
"Who is this?" Meng Ling surprisingly saw a face that was very familiar yet very strange in the water.
"Could it be..." Meng Ling's heart was already turbulent.
Argument one: The surface of the water reflects an absolutely beautiful face that doesn't seem like it should belong to a human.
Evidence two: There is no one else here except for myself.
Conclusion: From argument one plus argument two, Meng Long deduces that Super Beautiful Woman = Herself!!!
"How is this possible? The previous appearance was already attractive, if I go out with this current look... Hmm, fortunately, my body hasn't fully developed yet. Pfft pfft pfft, what am I even thinking about?" Meng Ling's mind had completely fallen into chaos at this point, and she couldn't help but feel a little numb.
"But on closer inspection, this face looks so familiar! But I just can't remember." Meng Ling carefully observed her new image, constantly thinking in her mind.
Like the bright starry sky's blue eyes!
Pink shoulder-length hair with slight curls!
A beauty beyond compare, no, an already extraordinary and transcendent face!
Taking all these points into consideration, Meng Ling knew that her current image was not just a change in appearance compared to before, but also a huge transformation in her inner temperament.
My former self could be said to have been a top-notch beauty, with fiery red hair that brought me an air of elegance and innocence. Now, all that's left is a face that makes people feel like they're looking at something obscene.
If I said my previous image was a slightly childish little girl, then I am now an extraordinary and elegant little fairy, completely like a saint who does not eat the smoke and fire of the mortal world, as if all the beautiful words in the world were tailor-made for me.
"Hmm, it seems that my voice has also started to change a bit." Indeed, Meng Ling's vocal cords had undergone changes after her Mixed Yuan divine power and the Seven-Tails' evil Chakra merged into Chaos divine power. How should I put it? If her previous voice was sweet, then her current voice could only be described as 'ethereal'.
"Never mind, it's not the time to think about these things now. Let's just focus on finding my clothes." Meng Ling thought for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.
"Right, I remember Old Master saying that the Blue River Jade has some armor and clothes inside, but I don't know what they are. Let me take a look first." As she spoke, Meng Ling closed her eyes, and her divine sense entered the Blue River Jade on her ear.
As soon as she entered, Meng Ling saw a variety of clothes and armor floating in front of her, all emitting an enormous amount of power. However, after seeing one set of clothes, her gaze couldn't move away, and she smiled softly to herself.
"So that's how it is, no wonder I felt so familiar with my current appearance but couldn't remember. It turns out it was like this all along." As soon as she said this, Meng Leng's divine sense solidified the outfit she had her eyes on inside the Azure Galaxy Jade, and the Chaotic Divine Power slowly flowed into the Azure Galaxy Jade.
"A soft hum... A burst of light emerged from the Azure Jade of the Milky Way, gradually enveloping Meng Leng in the pond. The light continued to fluctuate, and before long, it dissipated completely. Meng Leng found himself wearing a dress he had seen countless times before, standing on the water's surface with the help of the Chaotic Divine Power."
"Hmm, it's really like that. Even the sacred White Jade has become this way, it seems everything is within the expectations of that Dragon God. " Meng Ling sighed with a bitter smile, thinking that all his actions were expected by others, and this feeling wasn't pleasant at all.
Let's take a look at Meng Ling's current outfit. She is wearing a black short kimono with purple edges, and a pink belt is tied around her slender waist. On the outside, she is also wearing a white long shirt, white small shoes, and on her head, there are now two diamond-shaped hairpins and a ponytail tied with a red hairband in her pink hair...
"This is exactly the appearance of Lacus Clyne, the female lead who was once popular in Gundam SEED. I said why it's so familiar, it turns out that it's the prototype of my favorite anime heroine on Earth. The looks seem to be even more beautiful." Meng Ling said happily. Looking at the face she had seen countless times on her computer screen, Meng Ling smiled with joy.
Compared to her previous form, this form is more acceptable to Meng Lin. After all, this was her anime idol form back on Earth...
