"My Mizukage-sama, as expected of you!"
Faced with Soji's perfectly justified explanation, Pakura could only react like this.
Actually, there was another half of that sentence Pakura did not say.
The choices you make are always so unexpected!
Honestly, if one searched the entire Ninja World, there was probably no second person who could leave Pakura this speechless.
All she could say was that Soji's outrageous maneuvers were truly beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
The reason Soji had drawn Ranmaru but chosen Chiyo was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. He had decided to do it this way from the very beginning.
After all, whenever he had drawn answers during exams in the past, they had always been the wrong ones.
So this time, Soji deliberately decided to do the opposite!
Wasn't whatever he drew the wrong option?
Then he just would not pick what he drew!
Draw Ranmaru, choose Chiyo. Draw Chiyo, choose Ranmaru. That was Soji's thinking.
Rather than calling it fate's choice, it was more accurate to say that fate had given up struggling after encountering Soji.
When Soji got worked up, he would even deceive fate itself!
And so, the member of the third elite genin squad Soji intended to form was decided: Chiyo!
Not long afterward, Chiyo, who had just been promoted to one of the four Anbu squad captains, was summoned by Soji, the Fifth Mizukage.
"Mizukage-sama, what are your orders?"
Chiyo respectfully knelt on one knee before Soji in the Mizukage's Office.
She had been in Kirigakure for a year or two now.
Honestly, she liked the environment here very much and had adapted to life in Kirigakure long ago.
Therefore, she sincerely respected Mizuki Ember, the Fifth Mizukage.
If there was one regret, it was probably her obsession with avenging her clan.
