With Yukina
Fuguki shunshined towards Yukina's location, and when he saw her in pain, he narrowed his eyes.
He noticed that Yukina was massaging her two slender legs to reduce the pain she was experiencing.
Fuguki then said to her, "Girl, from now on you are forbidden from using that movement-based jutsu you invented; you can only use it as your last resort. Do I make myself clear to you?"
Yukina looked confused when she heard this and replied to Fuguki, "What are you talking about, sensei?"
Fuguki sighed when he heard this and thought, "She's really unaware that she invented a new movement-based jutsu."
After coming up with this conclusion, Fuguki then started explaining to Yukina, "Listen, girl, you might not be aware of this, but you have invented a movement-based jutsu, and you have bastardized the chakra slash that the samurai in the Land of Iron use."
Yukina's eyes widened when she heard this, and Fuguki continued.
"When you use that movement-based jutsu of yours, you release a small burst of chakra in small, quick intervals from the soles of your feet to increase your speed by a large margin."
Yukina nodded her head in agreement, and she replied to Fuguki, "Yeah, I got this idea after seeing you use shunshin a couple of times in this mission. I thought of using shunshin to increase my speed when I am in battle, but I later realized it wasn't practical to use it in battle, so I decided to use small bursts of chakra from the soles of my feet in short, quick intervals to increase my speed."
Fuguki smirked when he heard this and said to Yukina, "You did well, girl; this movement-based jutsu you just invented has a lot of potential, but it also puts a lot of stress on your legs; you will be an easy target for your foes in a long, intense battle."
"Right now, you will need to think about how to overcome your new jutsu's drawbacks."
Yukina narrowed her eyes after hearing this, and she started to contemplate, "He is right; I need to fix this weakness before I utilize this jutsu in my future battles, but how can I do that?"
Fuguki noticed that Yukina was deep in thought, and he said to her, "You don't need to worry, girl; you only need to strengthen your body and make it strong enough to withstand the stress brought by your new jutsu."
When Yukina heard this, she widened her eyes in surprise for a second. She then smiled brightly and said to herself, "He is right. I only need to train my legs and make them stronger to withstand the stress my new jutsu puts on my legs."
When Fuguki saw Yukina smiling, he smiled too. He then extended his hand and said to her, "Give me your corpse storage scroll. I will seal all of the corpses for you; you don't need to continue participating in this invasion. Rest for now, girl."
Yukina nodded her head; she then handed Fuguki her corpse storage scroll.
Fuguki then grabbed the scroll from Yukina, lifted her up with his arms, and they shunshin away.

With Mei, Rangetsu, and Kotaro
Mei, Kotaro, and Rangetsu arrived in front of a modest-looking mansion. There were 20 guards standing outside the mansion.
The guards took out their kunai; they were ready to attack when they saw the trio approaching the mansion; they looked very warily at them.
Mei and Rangetsu were surprised when they saw the clan symbol over the mansion.
Mei then smirked and thought to herself, "Well, things are going to be very interesting soon."
Rangetsu also smirked in amusement when he saw the clan symbol. The clan symbol was four purple flowers twirling against each other.
Kotaro stepped forward and said to the guards, "Relax, we don't have any ill intentions. We only want to have a word with Shiro-dono."
The guards looked hesitant after hearing Kotaro's words, but they nodded their heads to Kotaro. Then the guards leader looked at one of his subordinates and ordered, "Inform Shiro-sama that Kotaro and some Kiri shinobi are seeking an audience with him."
A skinny-looking guard nodded his head obediently, and he quickly turned around and entered the mansion to report this to the clan leader.
______
After 5 minutes
The skinny guard came back to the gate, bowed respectfully to the trio, and said to them, "Please follow me; the clan leader is willing to meet you."
The trio nodded, and they followed the guard into the mansion.
_______
In the guest lounge
Mei, Kotaro, and Rangetsu were sitting in front of a man who looked like he was in his forties.
The man had an ordinary face, purple eyes, medium-length purple hair, sharp eyebrows, and a lean, muscular physique.
The man's name is Shiro Chano; he is the current head of the Chano clan.
After the maid served drinks for the trio, Shiro waved his hands dismissively to the maid. The maid bowed respectfully to Shiro and left the lounge.
Shiro then glared at Kotaro and said, "Kotaro, why did you bring Kiri shinobi with you to my clan mansion? You better give me a satisfactory answer."
Kotaro chuckled when he heard this. He took a small sip from his drink and answered Shiro, "Shiro-dono. I decided to join the Hidden Mist Village and I want your clan to join Kiri with me."
Shiro raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this but then Mei said to Shiro, "Shiro-dono, my name is Mei Terumi from the Terumi clan. I heard a lot about the Chano clan and how they were betrayed by Suna, despite all the contributions that the clan made to the puppeteer art that the Second Kazekage invented."
Shiro narrowed his eyes in anger when he heard this, but he continued listening to Mei.
Mei then paused for second and then she continued, "Without the Chano clan's knowledge of poisons, I doubt the puppeteer art would be as intimidating as it is today; however, Suna and the Third Kazekage were ungrateful to your clan."
After hearing this, Shiro's eyes turned red in anger and he said to Mei threateningly, "Choose your next words wisely, girl; I will not be lenient towards you."
Mei nodded her head respectfully to Shiro and continued, "If the Chano clan joined the Hidden Mist Village, the Chano clan would have a chance to become one of the noble clans of Kiri, depending on your clan's contribution to the village. This offer shows you how sincere the Mizukage is towards the Chano clan."
After hearing this, Shiro started contemplating deeply at what he just heard, but Mei continued.
"Also, the Third Shinobi War is on the horizon; your clan will have a chance to take revenge on Suna if your clan joins Kiri."
After hearing these words, Shiro smiled, stood up, extended his hand to Mei and said, "You have persuaded me, girl. From today onward, we, the Chano clan, will join the Hidden Mist Village and we will show the Elemental Nation why they should fear the Chano clan."
Mei, Rangetsu, and Kotaro smiled when they heard this, and then Mei said to Shiro, "Good, I promise that you will not regret this decision. We will wait for you and for your clan in front of your clan mansion. Please make it quick."
Shiro smiled and nodded to Mei; she then turned around and left the Chano clan mansion along with Kotaro and Rangetsu.

After 2 hours
With Yukina
Yukina sat on the ground next to the Sea Spirit Village gate.
Next to her sat Fuguki and Nangetsu.
Yukina was watching the massacre in front of her while wearing a playful smile on her face.
It only took 2 hours for the Hidden Mist Village genins to finish off all the Spirit Sea Village Shinobi with minimum casualties.
After genins killed the last Sea Spirit Village shinobi, Kisame and Ao shunshin next to Fuguki, Nangetsu, and Yukina.
Kisame then stepped forward and said to the genins loudly, "You all did well; you should be proud of yourselves. Go and seal the corpses in your corpse storage scrolls."
"After you all finish sealing the corpses, come and meet us in front of the village gate."
All the genins nodded their heads after hearing Kisame's order, and they started sealing the Sea Spirit Village shinobi corpses in the corpse storage scrolls.
After one hour, Mei, Rangetsu, Kotaro, and Shiro arrived at the Sea Spirit Village gate along with the Chano clan.
When Mei saw Senma was missing, she asked Kisame, "Where is Senma?"
Kisame chuckled in amusement when he heard Mei's question and he answered her, "He is dead along with all Yuki clan genins who came with us to participate in this mission."
Mei and Rangetsu were surprised when they heard this, then Mei ordered Kisame, "Kisame, explain to me how Senma and all the Yuki clan genins died."
Kisame chuckled darkly when he heard the order, but he obediently explained to Mei how the Yuki clan genins ambushed Yukina and how Yukina started slaughtering them with only her katana.
Kotaro got interested when he heard that Yukina just used her Kenjutsu to slaughter all the Yuki clan genins.
Shiro got intrigued at what he was hearing and started listening closely to Kisame along with his clansmen.
Kisame then explained how Senma disguised himself and ambushed Yukina, but Nangetsu interfered after Senma started using his Ice Shell Prison Jutsu on her.
He told Mei how Fuguki freed Yukina from the ice and commanded her to finish off all the Yuki clan genins. Then Nangetsu finished off Senma after Yukina killed all the genins.
Mei slapped her forehead after hearing what had transpired. She sighed in annoyance and said to herself, "What an idiot."
She then walked towards Yukina, but she stopped in her tracks when she saw all the genins were walking towards the gate after they had finished sealing the corpses.
Mei turned towards the genins, smiled, and said to them, "You all did well. Those who are injured, return to the ship to receive medical treatment, and as for the rest of you, I want you to search this village for anything valuable. Use the storage scrolls to seal anything that is valuable. If any of you don't have any storage scrolls, go back to the ship to get some storage scrolls from there; there are plenty of storage scrolls in the ship."
All the genins nodded their heads in understanding after hearing Mei's order. Many of the genins started walking back to the ship to grab some storage scrolls from the ship and as for the injured, they started walking back to the ship to receive medical treatment.
Yukina also decided to go to the ship to receive medical treatment for her legs.
Kotaro then turned to Mei and said to her, "I know where the village treasury is, along with where the jutsu scrolls are kept and the weapons storage base."
Kisame, Ao, Rangetsu, and Mei widened their eyes for a second, then they smiled at Kotaro.
Mei then ordered Kisame and Ao, saying, "Kisame, Ao, I want you two to accompany Kotaro and retrieve everything in the treasury, weapon storage base, and all the jutsus this village has."
Kisame and Ao smiled and nodded their heads to Mei.
The trio then shunshin away to fulfill their tasks.
Shiro looked at his clansmen and ordered, "Asahi, I want you to choose five of our clansmen and go to the hospital to retrieve all the medicines and all other medical resources this village has."
Asahi stepped forward, he bowed to Shiro and said, "As you wish, clan leader."
Asahi is an ordinary-looking young man with long blond hair, tanned skin, green eyes, and a lean, muscular physique.
Asahi quickly called out five of his clansmen, and they shunshin away to complete the task that the Shiro gave them.
After Asahi and the five Chana clansmen shunshin away, Shiro called out another of his clansmen, "Itsuki, I also want you to lead five of our clansmen to go to the village food storage base and retrieve all the food in the base."
Itsuki bowed respectfully to Shiro after hearing Shiro's order.
Itsuki is a chubby young man with short brown hair and eyes.
He called five of his men, and then they shunshin away to complete the task that Shiro entrusted to them.
Mei smiled when she saw this and said to Shiro, "Thank you for your help, Shiro-dono. We will be able to finish this mission quicker with your clansmen's help."
Shiro smiled and nodded his head to Mei.
Fuguki saw the clan symbol that Shiro was wearing on his back. He smirked and said to Shiro, "To think that the Chana clan was hiding in the Land of Water all this time—this is really unexpected."
Shiro turned around and bowed respectfully to Fuguki. He then said to him, "It is an honor to meet you in person, Fuguki-sama."
Fuguki waved his hands dismissively and told Shiro, "You don't need to be polite with me. I have a lot of respect for your clan. The Third Kazekage was a fool at how he treated your clan."
Shiro smiled when he heard this and he replied to Fuguki, "The reason why we decided to join the Hidden Mist Village is to take our revenge against Suna and to prove our worth to the whole Elemental Nation."
Fuguki chuckled when he heard this and said, "I can promise you this, Chana clan leader, you will not be treated unfairly in Kiri as long as you prove your loyalty to Kiri."
Shiro smiled and nodded his head in satisfaction after he heard this.
_____
With Kisame, Ao, and Kotaro
When Kisame, Ao, and Kotaro entered the treasury, Kisame and Ao's jaws dropped in shock when they saw what was in front of them.
They saw so many gold, silver, jewellery, and money Kisame then asked in a very trembling voice, "Holy shit, how the hell could a small shinobi village gather this much wealth? This is inconceivable."
Kotaro chuckled when he saw Ao's and Kisame's expressions. He also looked at Kisame in amusement when he heard his question.
He then decided to answer Kisame's question, saying, "Toshiro was a very smart man. After I joined his village, the first thing he decided to do was to build the village's wealth. To do that, he sent me and Taro to hunt rogue shinobi and pirate ships."
Kisame and Ao were surprised when they heard this, and they continued listening. "Whatever money or wealth we earned from our hunt will go to the treasury."
"He also comes up with the idea to reduce the mission fees so that we can steal the clients from other villages; however, this method brought dire consequences to him."
"He never thought that the other small villages would adopt the same strategy too, and he never thought the big hidden villages would retaliate against the small villages after they started struggling financially."
Ao and Kisame nodded in understanding; after hearing this, they then quickly took out some storage scrolls from their kunai pouches, and they started sealing all the money, gold, jewelry, and silver.
After they finished sealing all the Sea Spirit Village wealth, they left the treasury storage room, and they entered the weapon storage base.
Ao and Kisame were in awe when they saw the quantity and the high quality of those weapons in front of them.
They quickly sealed all those weapons in the storage scroll.
After they finished sealing all those weapons, they left the weapon storage base and shunshin towards the shinobi library.
After arriving at the shinobi library, Kisame and Ao started sealing all the jutsu scrolls.
After they finished sealing all the jutsu scrolls, they exited the library and shunshined away.
_______
With Mei
Mei and others stood in front of the Sea Spirit Village gate waiting for the genins and the others to finish sealing all the valuable items they found in the village.
After 2 hours all the genins arrive along with Kisame, Kotaro, Ao, and the Chana clansmen. They all handed their storage scrolls to Mei.
Mei then grabbed a large scroll and she sealed all the storage scrolls in the large scroll.
Mei smiled to her comrades and said to them, "Good, we finally finished our mission. Let's go back home."
After hearing Mei's words, the genins and the rest of the third regiment smiled at Mei and nodded their heads.
They then started walking towards the third regiment ship along with the Chana clansmen.
They then boarded the ship, and the ship started sailing back to the Hidden Mist Village.
