What Happens When You Control Everything

A knock sounded at the door, Naruto slowly got out of bed. By the time he opened the door, the waiter had already left. There was a small food cart outside the door, with a dish on each shelf.

At the same time, he noticed that the person across the hall seemed to have also ordered food. A small food cart was quietly placed in front of the door, the doorknob turned, and it seemed that the other person was about to come out.

Naruto felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him and quickly tried to retreat to avoid being seen. But it was too late. The door across the hall opened, revealing a face he never expected.

Mei Terumi stared at Naruto across the hall and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have seen that person before, perhaps at the teahouse. That person was laughing and joking with two girls in his arms.

Pah, he's a good-looking scumbag.

Seeing the Mei Terumi was staring at him, Naruto suddenly realized that he was still Sasuke. Reassured, he stared back intently at her.

His gaze swept over Mei Terumi's body like a scanner several times, but his unbridled gaze did not arouse Mei Terumi's dissatisfaction.

"Who are you?" Mei Terumi asked.

Upon hearing this, Naruto glanced at her a few more times, his doubts gradually dissipating. Although he had transformed into Sasuke's appearance, he had changed his clothes and hairstyle.

The Five Kage didn't care what the rogue ninja from the other village looked like; they only knew their names. As long as Naruto didn't reveal the Uchiha's Daimyo, it would be easy to get away with it.

"Choji".

"Choji?" Mei Terumi subconsciously cast a scrutinizing glance at him. "You don't look like someone without a surname. Are you from out of town? Do you only have a given name?"

Konohagakure.

"Achoo! Achoo!! Ah. Achoo!!" Choji sneezed several times in a row, his mind a little dazed, thinking to himself how strange this was.

"Choji, what's wrong?" Shikamaru, glancing at him as he held up his tea.

The two were sitting around a table drinking tea. There were three cups on the table, but the third person had not yet arrived. Choji as Choji was about to speak, the shoji door was suddenly pulled open.

"Sorry I'm late."

Ino walked in, and without much restraint in front of the two, she found a seat and sat down. As she picked up her teacup, she turned to look at Choji.

"I could hear your voice in the hallway, Choji."

"That's strange, I rarely sneeze." Choji scratched the back of his head, looking a little annoyed. "Unless someone is targeting me, but I've never offended anyone."

"However, if someone wants to betray me, the scope of suspicion is not large; there should only be one person left."

After saying that, Choji squinted his small eyes and turned to look at Ino, staring at her like that.

"Don't talk nonsense. Why would I ever think of tricking you? We've known each other for so many years, it's impossible!" Ino waved her hands repeatedly.

"I wasn't talking about you, you wouldn't mess with me, but that one of yours... well, that's hard to say." Choji's expression was firm.

Ino immediately understood his meaning, and while somewhat speechless, she couldn't find a reason to refute him. Knowing Naruto as she did, she was indeed the kind of person capable of such a thing.

Okay, nothing more to say. It was all my own choice.

"Speaking of which, why didn't Naruto come back with Lee and Neji?" Shikamaru took a sip of his tea and then suddenly asked.

"I don't know. He's rarely come back since Kakashi-sensei became Hokage." Ino sighed, her eyes growing complicated.

"He never liked the village before, but now that the situation there is stable, and after Danzo's matter was resolved and Lord Tsunade left, Naruto also found an excuse to leave."

Shikamaru frowned upon hearing this.

"Lord Tsunade doesn't dislike the village, she just doesn't like staying in the current village. The village in their memories only exists in the past. They lost so many people they cared about during the Fourth Shinobi World War, so staying in the village would only make them more heartbroken."

He didn't mention Naruto, but Choji and Ino, who were present, both knew what was going on.

Naruto doesn't like the village at all. Despite everything that's happened, he's never said anything about protecting it. He doesn't seem to have any affection for the villagers either, only caring about his friends.

But given the different living environments, not everyone can accept Konohagakure's Will of Fire. Now, Naruto simply hides away, following the same path as Jiraiya, and doesn't return to the village unless necessary.

"He doesn't even have a house in Konohagakure, even though he's rich." Ino sighed. "When I asked him where he wanted to live before, he would always change the subject."

"Naruto isn't planning on going back to the village, is he?" Choji squinted his tiny, beady eyes, looking somewhat forlorn.

"It's hard to say what will happen in the future." Shikamaru put down his teacup.

The hotel corridor Hidden Mist.

Mei Terumi stared at him for over ten seconds, making Naruto sweat profusely. He thought he had been exposed. Just as he was considering whether to run away, she spoke.

"It's rare to see someone as good-looking as you without a surname."

Upon hearing this, Naruto secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he didn't try to be clever and make amends, after all, loose lips sink ships, Mei Terumi wasn't stupid.

If you accidentally say something wrong, or someone finds a loophole, then you'll end up losing more than you gain.

"Yes." He nodded.

The two stopped there, each pulling their food carts, closing the doors, and enjoying their meal.

"Outrageous." Naruto muttered to himself as he ate. "I didn't find Chojuro, but I did run into Mei Terumi. I wish the Ninja Blade was in her hands."

But since he'd already run into her and managed to get away with it, he didn't think much of it. Even Mei Terumi saw through his disguise, she wouldn't be able to catch him even if she brought people to arrest him.

Even before checking into the inn, he had already set up Flying Thunder God Kunai formation around the area. Those people from Hidden Mist wouldn't have an easy time catching him, let alone capturing him; they wouldn't even be able to catch him with their Taijutsu alone.

By the time we finished eating, it was already dark.

He looked at the hazy night sky and decided not to go out tonight, since Mizukage was right across from him. To be on the safe side, he'd just take a shower and stay in the suite.

Naruto emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, not yet having dried himself. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. He paused for a moment, then grabbed his clothes and quickly put them on.

No matter who's outside, you can't run naked! Even though I have Sasuke's face, wait a minute, what's the point of wearing clothes?!

Send!

He cautiously opened the door, but found no ambush as he had imagined. Instead Mei Terumi, who seemed to have just finished showering, looked at him with a smile.

Can we talk?

With a thud, Naruto noticed Mei Terumi's slightly damp brown hair and the impressive grand slam gesture. For a moment, he couldn't quite grasp her intentions and could only nod.

"Yes, please come in." He stepped aside to make way, his heart pounding slightly.

"Thanks."

Mei Terumi her supple waist, glanced at him, smiled, and went inside. After looking around, she finally sat down on the sofa.

"Drink water." Naruto, adhering to the principle that silence is golden, kept quiet when facing Mei Terumi.

"Okay." Mei Terumi picked up her water glass, and in front of Naruto, she crossed her right leg over her left, directly drawing his gaze, which immediately startled him.

Mei Terumi's exceptional beauty made it difficult for Naruto to look directly at her. Fearing something might go wrong, he simply looked down at the ground, thankfully finding no reflective floorboards.

From the moment you enter, every inch of the suite is covered with expensive, soft carpets—you could practically lie down on them. This is likely to provide guests with a more intimate experience and allow for conversation at any time.

To be honest, the two of them sitting on the sofa, one on each side, looked a bit like they were on some kind of reality TV show. The first three minutes were all polite small talk, drinking water and covering their mouths to laugh.

At that moment, Mei Terumi was gazing at him tenderly. That look sent chills down Naruto's spine. If it were anyone else, he might have thought she was Mei Terumi; he didn't think she was a stupid woman.

It wasn't until Mei Terumi got up and took a bottle of wine from the living room shelf that Naruto believed that the woman didn't seem to have noticed anything amiss.

"Um... I can't drink alcohol." Naruto waved his hand in refusal, who knows if there was any poison in it.

At this moment, he was extremely anxious, desperately wanting to know what Mei Terumi was thinking. What was her purpose? Damn it!

"It's okay, I'll just have a little bit." Mei Terumi held the bottle and prepared to bend down and sit down.

As he gazed into the abyss, the abyss also gazed into him. Naruto coughed awkwardly for a second, then looked away, his brow furrowing even deeper.

"Just so you know, I can only take a tiny sip," he said.

"Okay." Mei Terumi readily agreed.

With a soft pop, to Naruto's astonishment, she uncorked the wine bottle with her bare hands. Without much ceremony, she swirled it and poured some wine into her glass.

The crimson wine settled at the bottom of the glass. Mei Terumi first brought it closer to smell it, then took a sip. After frowning slightly, she raised the glass again and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Naruto's last trace of worry vanished. Watching Mei Terumi pour him a drink, he felt a slightly strange, inexplicable unease.

Could this person be attracted to Sasuke's face? That's absurd, impossible, absolutely impossible, he absolutely doesn't believe it.

"Cheers."

The two clinked their glasses, and in that brief moment, Naruto observed Mei Terumi for a short while. Her eyes were unfocused, her whole body relaxed, and she seemed to have no ulterior motive.

Naruto put down his wine glass and looked at Mei Terumi.

"And you are?"

"Don't you know me?" she countered. "From the first moment you saw me, your eyes showed surprise, but not unfamiliarity."

"Yes, Mei Terumi- sama," Naruto admitted directly. "You are a very beautiful woman, and I have certainly seen you before."

"Since we know each other, there's no need to be so polite," Mei Terumi said.

"Okay," Naruto replied, but inwardly he thought to himself, "Can't we be a little more careful?"

"Shall we have a drink?" she raised her glass.

The two clinked glasses again. Mei Terumi stared at Naruto, her lips pressed against the glass, her neck slowly moving. They finished the glass of red wine little by little, chatting idly.

Mei Terumi also suspected that this person might be the intruder she was looking for. With a woman's intuition, she subconsciously felt that something was wrong with this person.

This face was far too beautiful; it was impossible for someone so good-looking to exist in Kirigakure, and she hadn't even realized it. So she was gambling, and patiently waiting.

Patience is an essential quality for an excellent hunter.

Before long, the red wine was gone. Naruto was about to get up and make an excuse to go back to his room, but Mei Terumi was faster than him, standing up and heading straight for the wine cabinet.

"Have some more, it's only one bottle." She said with her light, crisp footsteps, leaving Naruto with only her back to him.

Drink? What's the point of drinking? If you keep drinking, you'll be able to see your underwear. Still want to drink? Only a fool would drink that. Keep it for yourself, I'm outta here.

"Um... I'm a little weak at drinking." Naruto covered his head, pretending to be dizzy. "I can't drink anymore, I need to go back to my room to rest."

"You're not drunk, stop pretending." Mei Terumi's smile deepened as she grabbed the bottle and came over.

She was now almost certain that the intruder was this person in front of her. Was he about to slip up and get impatient? Heh, trying to escape? Dream on.

Seeing that his trick had been exposed, Naruto chuckled awkwardly.

Mei Terumi sat down, holding the bottle of sake, and looked at him with a smug smile, raising an eyebrow and asking with a smile.

"Want some more?"

"Hmm, have some more." Naruto had nothing more to say.

Time passed slowly, Naruto felt increasingly uneasy Mei Terumi kept asking him more and more questions. Her purpose became clearer and clearer: this woman was doubting him.

Just as Naruto was about to confess, a loud explosion suddenly came from the Kirigakure outside the window, its effect like a thunderclap in the dead of night.

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking up.

Mei Terumi didn't speak, but quickly got up and went to the window. In the darkness, an explosion and fire broke out in Kirigakure. Instantly, many noises arose outside, creating a chaotic scene.

With a whoosh, she walked to the balcony, opened the window, and went straight in. Just then, an Anbu the Hidden Mist happened to be passing by and was grabbed and questioned by Mei Terumi.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Mizukage, that intruder appeared again this afternoon! And there was more than one!" The Hidden Mist Anbu succinctly recounted the events.

It turned out that Qing became increasingly angry after returning home, and after get off work, she led a few people to continue searching the village. Unexpectedly, they actually found intruders, and there were several of them.

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi nodded with a sullen face and let the Hidden Mist Anbu Ninja leave.

Back in the suite, she glanced at Naruto on the sofa, her expression conflicted. She wasn't sure if he had truly forgiven her; what if it was just a feint?

For a moment, Mei Terumi was unsure.

Naruto appeared calm as he sat drinking, but inside he was panicking. Luckily, some unexpected hero appeared to cause trouble—a real lifesaver for the Shinobi World!

Naruto turned to look at Mei Terumi, intending to get up, but was persuaded not to.

"Mei Terumi, something has happened in the village. Aren't you going to check it out?"

"It's nothing serious, the Anbu can handle it." Mei Terumi smiled, her expression enigmatic. "Come on, let's continue drinking."

"Keep drinking?" Naruto was a little surprised, but he didn't show it. He thought to himself, "Let him keep drinking. A ninja's strength and alcohol tolerance aren't proportional. I'll drink you under the table tonight, you little pushover."

I really wanted to say something, but I hesitated and stopped myself.
