"Little Handsome, we've enjoyed enough of a bargain. Shouldn't we be on our way?" Terumi Mei released Naruto's mouth, smiling warmly at him.
"Oh, oh, let's go," Naruto nodded, reluctantly pulling himself away from Mei after one last lingering hug.
"Stay behind me, Little Handsome. Don't get lost now," Mei teased, turning and striding away.
"Hey! Wait up!" Naruto called out. Mei had already vanished into the distance, leaving him frustrated. *Why does it feel like I'm the one with something to ask her?*
"Is this Serpent Coil Valley?" Naruto asked, peering into the sunken basin-like terrain.
"Yes. After years of exploration, I've found it's teeming with snakes—banded kraits, cobras, bamboo vipers, you name it," Mei explained, gesturing at the thick undergrowth below.
"Uh... what brings you to a place like this?"
Naruto was frustrated. Why would a beautiful woman like her come to such a dangerous place when she could have gone anywhere else?
Terumi Mei truly defied logic.
"I'm here to find what I'm looking for."
For the first time, a glint of longing appeared in Mei's eyes. "The Serpent King's blood. I must obtain it."
"The Serpent King's blood?"
Naruto was bewildered. "What do you need that for?"
"Beauty and youth, of course."
Mei scoffed at Naruto's complaint. "Little handsome, it seems you don't understand a thing."
"Why should I understand such things?" Naruto grumbled.
"Alright, little handsome, stop whining and come with me."
With a wave of her hand, Mei led the way, leaping down the crumpled earthen wall.
"Huh? Why the rush?"
Naruto reluctantly followed, jumping after her. *What an impatient woman.*
"Fire Release: Wildfire Sweeps the Plains!"
*Boom!*
The moment her feet touched the ground, Mei unleashed an enormous fire technique, incinerating the entire area.
"Hey, Sister Mei! Why did you burn everything down?" Naruto jumped, startled by the sudden blaze as he landed behind her.
"It's fine. They'll grow back in a few days. The plants here are strange."
Terumi Mei called out, leading the way across the charred ground.
"Speechless..."
Naruto watched Mei's slender figure before him and reluctantly followed.
"Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique!"
*Sssss...*
Another massive cobra met its end at Mei's hands. Naruto watched her one-woman show with utter boredom. *What's the point of coming here just to watch a pretty girl put on a show?*
*Buzz!*
As Naruto trudged forward half-heartedly, a sudden hum filled the air. The life force within him surged outward, swirling around him.
"What's happening?"
Sensing the abnormal reaction of his life force, Naruto frowned deeply.
*Swish...*
A figure emerged from behind a rocky outcrop ahead.
"Kabuto and Orochimaru again?"
Naruto glared at the pained expression on the Composite Man's face, puzzled. *What are they doing here?*
"Lord Orochimaru, it's that brat Uzumaki Naruto! We need to run! The cells in our chest are about to explode!"
Kabuto's pained cry echoed through the air.
"Damn it! We were so close to finding the medium that would allow us to fuse perfectly, and now it's lost! Uzumaki Naruto!"
Orochimaru's voice was crazed, as if he wanted to tear someone apart.
"Trying to escape?"
Watching the Composite Man stumble backward, Naruto vanished in a blur and reappeared in front of him, the Kusanagi Sword materializing in his hand and slashing horizontally across the creature's chest.
*Shiiing!*
The sound of tearing flesh filled the air as a massive gash opened across the Composite Man's torso.
"Ugh!"
Orochimaru and Kabuto screamed in unison, immediately forming hand seals.
"Impure World Reincarnation!"
*Boom!*
Two coffins rose, revealing the figures of the First and Second Hokage. Now, Orochimaru and Kabuto could only hope that the Impure World Reincarnation would buy them some time.
"Summon! Manda!"
As Naruto sent the First and Second Hokage flying with a blast, the Composite Man summoned Manda. Then, both the Composite Man and Manda vanished in a puff of white smoke.
"Light of Life. Purify!"
Seeing the First and Second Hokage unharmed, Naruto frowned and rapidly formed a series of hand seals. A blinding light erupted, completely enveloping their bodies.
In the next instant, bathed in the light, everything vanished. The First and Second Hokage disappeared as if they had never existed, leaving no trace behind.
"Hmm... Little cutie, your strength is even greater than I imagined."
Mei swayed her hips as she sidled up to Naruto, her gaze filled with coquetry. "Little cutie, I'm falling for you more and more. How about we start dating?"
"Uh... Sister Mei, stop joking around, okay? Let's just keep moving."
Startled by Mei's flirtatious advance, Naruto quickly strode ahead.
"What a clueless, unromantic brat!"
Mei rarely showed such girlish petulance. "I actually confessed to you, you know."
"Hey, Sister Mei, where exactly is this Serpent King you keep talking about?" Naruto finally grumbled after walking for hours and only encountering harmless little snakes.
"Aiya, we're almost there! Don't be so impatient!"
Mei, walking ahead, turned to shoot Naruto a coquettish glare.
Nearly electrocuted by Mei's glare, Naruto obediently shut his mouth and focused on walking. Now was definitely not the time to provoke her—she was acting strangely.
***
"Hey, little sister, what brings you back here?"
After walking for what felt like an eternity, a suddenly a coquettish voice rang out.
Naruto raised his drooping head and saw a cave entrance beside a stone tablet inscribed with the words "Snake Empress Manor."
"Huh... This is supposed to be a manor?" Naruto stared at the completely natural cave, utterly speechless.
"Indeed, Sister Mei," Terumi Mei said in a honey-sweet voice, her smile innocent and harmless. "I've come again to borrow a little of your blood."
"Ugh... Sister Mei, who's this woman?" Naruto asked, his eyes roaming over the figure before him. Her purple hair cascaded naturally over her full, rounded hips, her emerald eyes shimmering with an irresistible charm. Her delicate features framed a slender, serpent-like waist that swayed gracefully, even through the coarse fabric of her clothes, unable to conceal her exquisite figure or peerless grace.
"That's the Snake Empress I told you about—Medusa," Terumi Mei whispered, leaning close to Naruto's ear.
"What?!" Naruto exclaimed in shock. "Medusa?"
