Holy crap, did I just barge into Konoha? (Please support the stats!) / The Land of Waves Mission Begins! (Please support the stats!)
At first, she had only wanted to seize an opportunity, which was why she had chosen to join this group.
But she found her current state rather strange.
She could sense that her body was still in the Mizukage's office, yet her consciousness seemed to have entered an incredibly wondrous space.
She could sense that other people were here as well.
But system notifications kept popping up before her eyes.
[The system has automatically equipped Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi with the title—Unmarriageable Older Single Woman]
Mei Terumi: ???
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: ? What kind of title is this? I don't want it! Take it off already!
Ps: Brothers who send flowers, grow 2 centimeters tonight.
Thanks to Xiaojí for the reward, mwah!
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: What kind of title is this? I don't want it!
The moment Mei Terumi appeared in the small group, she immediately started raging.
Hashirama Senju: Hmm... I originally thought we needed to stay on guard, or at least keep a closer eye on her, but it seemed that wasn't necessary now.
Minato Namikaze: It seemed that was indeed the case.
Minato Namikaze: The commentary just now said she was the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure. She was the newly appointed Mizukage and hadn't even been a Jonin for a full year.
She had never shown herself to the outside world, yet this was the type of person she was.
That was certainly an eye-opener.
Tobirama Senju: She looked rather pitiful. Still, I could understand how she felt.
She couldn't find someone, while I simply didn't want to look. I didn't have the time.
Hashirama Senju: Sorry, Tobirama. Big Brother dragged you into this.
Tobirama Senju: Hmph, it was all Madara Uchiha's fault. If it weren't for him, Big Brother, you wouldn't have died so young.
Hashirama Senju: That wasn't entirely true. The conditions for using my Wood Style Sage Art weren't merely consuming Chakra—they also consumed lifespan.
So, every use shortened my life.
Minato Namikaze: This was the first time I'd heard that. That truly was a dangerous Bloodline Limit.
Tobirama Senju: But it was powerful enough, wasn't it?
Minato Namikaze: Yes, yes.
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: ????
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: ????
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: Who are you people?
Mei Terumi was somewhat stunned.
Her attention had just been drawn to the title the system had suddenly assigned her, but what was with these people?
Although titles like Hashirama Senju and Minato Namikaze also looked rather pathetic.
But Hokage... was this the Hidden Leaf Village?
And... Wood Release.
Tobirama Senju... wasn't Tobirama Senju the Second Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village? Hadn't he been dead for decades?
Tobirama Senju: Hmph!
An overwhelming pressure instantly surged from Tobirama's side.
Mei Terumi immediately felt the absolute gap between them.
She had thought that, as the Fifth Mizukage, she had already worked hard enough. She excelled at Water Release and possessed two Kekkei Genkai: Lava Release and Boiling Release.
She believed her strength was fairly good among the Five Kage.
But now, she instantly felt how insignificant she was.
Hashirama Senju: Don't scare her. She's a girl, after all.
Tobirama Senju: Big Brother, you really do pity women.
Though he said that, Tobirama withdrew his pressure, and the crushing sense of an absolute gap finally vanished as well.
This allowed Mei Terumi to catch her breath for a moment.
[This is the Myriad Realms Chat System. Members come from all worlds, regardless of time, space, or state of existence. Therefore, even the dead may remain here.] [Note: This group is also the Kitahara Kaede (^_-) Observation Group. Kitahara Kaede will be observed for three hours every day.]
A system explanation appeared before Mei Terumi.
Only after reading those explanations did Mei Terumi understand what had happened.
In other words, her choice had indeed been correct.
She had come to an extraordinary place.
Then the Tobirama Senju here really was that Tobirama Senju!
The Second Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village!
Kirigakure was very familiar with him, because he excelled at Water Release, though Kirigakure called it Ocean Style.
Using the same techniques, his casting speed and range were far greater.
He was said to have formed a contract with the Ocean.
It could be said... he was the idol of every new Kirigakure ninja.
But...
Having just appeared and already being intimidated by her idol's pressure, Mei Terumi became a little timid.
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: I am Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure.
I'm twenty-seven years old and have just taken over Kirigakure.
I'm a rookie Mizukage. Greetings, esteemed seniors.
But what are your identities?
Mei Terumi began speaking.
She also seemed quite humble.
That was only natural.
She had just entered and been intimidated by Ocean Style.
How could she not be nervous?
Moreover, she discovered that she was the fifth member to join this group, which meant the four before her were all seniors.
She did not understand the rules very well either, so humility came first.
Hashirama Senju: This girl seemed alright. Pretty polite.
Tobirama Senju: Hmph.
Minato Namikaze: Well, as long as she doesn't target our Hidden Leaf Village.
Minato Namikaze: ...
Hashirama Senju: Mizukage, right? Then let me introduce everyone. That Minato Namikaze is our Hidden Leaf Village's Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake.
Hashirama Senju: Minato Namikaze is the Fourth Hokage.
Hashirama Senju: As for Tobirama, just as you sensed, he's a Water Release... um... he's the Second Hokage. And I am Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage!
In other words, the four current members... were all Hokage?
Good heavens.
They were even Hokage from different generations.
Wait a minute.
Wasn't the First Hokage that ridiculously powerful Hokage, the one who kept every ninja village from daring to start a war while he was alive?
After sorting through the information, Mei Terumi froze.
Because...
Had she stumbled into a Hidden Leaf Village nest?
They were all Hokage!
But after organizing the information, Mei Terumi noticed something strange.
That was...
What the hell was wrong with your Hidden Leaf Village?
The First Hokage specialized in Wood Release.
The Second Hokage specialized in Water Release.
The Third Hokage had all five elements.
The Fourth Hokage specialized in Wind Release.
Then this Minato Namikaze—Kakashi—specialized in Earth Release.
Didn't any of your Hidden Leaf Village's Hokage specialize in Fire Release?
[Today's three-hour observation of Kitahara Kaede has ended. New members may join tomorrow.] [The Kitahara Kaede (^_-) Observation Group is temporarily closed.]
Mei Terumi placed both hands on the desk and sensed her soul rapidly returning to her body.
Before long, her eyes opened.
She regained control of her body.
"The Kitahara Kaede (^_-) Observation Group..."
Mei Terumi's long, fair fingers rested on the edge of the desk, tapping lightly.
Her fingers were beautiful, producing a rhythmic sound.
"Mizukage-sama, it seems you've encountered something good?"
Ao pushed open the door and spoke.
Mei Terumi had become the Fifth Mizukage after rebelling and killing the Fourth Mizukage.
During that time, since most Kirigakure ninja had deeply rejected the Fourth Mizukage's bloody rule, most of them had pledged allegiance to her after she killed Yagura.
In other words, everyone in Kirigakure aside from Yagura hoped for peace.
Ao, who was speaking now, was one of them.
Chojuro was part of the third generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and was a genius.
Ao, meanwhile, was a reliable veteran Jonin.
He had also obtained a Byakugan from the battlefield, so he was known as the Byakugan Killer.
Wait.
