So getting on Kitahara Kaede's good side was the most important thing.
So...
Taking out Gato would be her token of allegiance.
It might have been a bit of an overkill, but it also meant that their cooperation had truly begun.
This was an opportunity.
Mei Terumi clenched her hand.
"I'll take this mission."
"I'll also arrange for someone to handle matters in the Land of Waves afterward."
"There's a Jonin in my village named Ao. He once captured a Byakugan from the Hyuga Clan, so he ended up on Hidden Leaf Village's hit list."
"But he has an absolute talent for handling this sort of thing."
"I'll arrange for him to come take over."
"That way, the Land of Waves will become your wallet. Is that acceptable?" Mei Terumi said.
Mei Terumi had been thinking about how to place Ao anyway. Even if she put him in the Ninja Academy, they would still see each other often, so she might as well transfer him here.
That way, she would not disgust the big shots from Hidden Leaf Village, such as the First Hokage and Second Hokage in the group, while also getting on Kitahara Kaede's good side.
It was truly killing two birds with one stone!
"Fine."
Kitahara Kaede felt that Mei Terumi knew what she was doing.
That was only natural.
Although he received subsidies from Hidden Leaf Village, no one would complain about having a more refined life.
Kitahara Kaede glanced at Mei Terumi, and the two exchanged knowing smiles.
The Mizukage stared at Kitahara Kaede's face.
This was the first time she had seen an expression on his face.
If edelweiss was spring, then she felt as though she were in spring right now.
Bathed in the spring breeze.
Damn it.
Were boys from Hidden Leaf Village really this attractive?
The Mizukage felt her heart pounding.
P.S.: Wuwuwu.

Izuna Uchiha, Why Is Sasuke So Pathetic?! (Please Send Monthly Tickets)
Team 7 successfully escorted the bridge-building master Tazuna back to the Land of Waves.
The mission was complete.
At the same time...
The next day, old man Tazuna's family was relocated to Kirigakure.
According to Mei Terumi, Kirigakure also wanted to build bridges, so she had invited old man Tazuna over.
As for moving his entire family there, it was because she was worried that the old man was too old and had no one to care for him.
So the whole family went together.
That excuse might work on ordinary people, but Kakashi knew there had to be something wrong with it.
But!
"..." Kakashi.
Kakashi had no right to interfere with the Mizukage's actions.
After all, Mei Terumi was a Mizukage.
A Kage.
Only the leaders of the Five Great Ninja Villages could be called Kage, and a Kage was usually the strongest person in their village.
Even the Third Hokage had to show Mei Terumi proper respect.
So there was no need to mention that he was merely an Elite Jonin beneath the Third Hokage.
Although the Kitahara Kaede Observation (^_-) Group's introduction said that he was Hidden Leaf Village's Sixth Hokage.
But... wasn't the Third Hokage still alive?
His teacher, the Fourth Hokage Minato, was dead, but wasn't the Fifth Hokage nowhere to be found yet?
So no matter how he looked at it, he had no standing to say anything.
As long as Mei Terumi could not steal Kitahara Kaede away, it was fine.
Kakashi also felt that Kitahara Kaede was definitely a huge shot, but since the other party was a huge shot, he naturally could not say anything either.
So he could only cooperate.
Sigh.
Kakashi felt that his life had become difficult.
At that moment.
Beep!
Today's Kitahara Kaede Observation (^_-) Group had opened.
Daily observation of Kitahara Kaede.
The six group members may speak freely. In addition, at the end of today, two distinctive Kage-level powerhouses will be randomly selected to join the group chat.
Selection attributes: honest, blindly loyal, peaceful, sex-gambling-drugs, strongest.
Choose two out of five.
Now then, today's Kitahara Kaede Observation (^_-) Group had begun!
Beep!
Accompanied by the system notification, Kakashi first felt a tightness in his chest, then his consciousness began to leave his body.
He glanced at Kitahara Kaede, Sasuke, and the others, then sat down against the corner of the wall.
His consciousness had already entered the special space.
Hashirama Senju: Ha, I can finally speak again. I've been waiting forever!
Tobirama Senju: ...
Minato Namikaze: Yeah, I've been waiting to see Naruto too. Yesterday, his Taijutsu already reached Jonin level. I think he might be able to challenge Elite Jonin level today.
That's my Naruto-chan.
His talent is just that high!
After discovering that the little group had restarted, the deceased First Hokage, Second Hokage, Minato, and the others immediately became active.
In the world after death, they could sense the passage of time, but they could not move forward.
So every day, waiting for the little group to start was something they looked forward to in their peaceful afterlife.
Hashirama Senju: By the way, hasn't Izuna arrived yet?
Brother of Hashirama Senju: I don't know what to say. This title is so strange.
Hashirama Senju's Number: Well, look, I'm wearing a title too. It's just a title. As long as you don't care about it, there's no problem.
But seriously, you can think of me as your older brother.
Madara and I once agreed to form an alliance.
Although we walked different paths, our goals were the same.
Brother of Hashirama Senju: ...
Hashirama Senju's Number: ...
Izuna Uchiha seemed not to know how to respond to his older brother Madara Uchiha's archrival.
He knew nothing about what Hashirama had said. The only thing he knew was that his older brother would often sneak out of the clan to meet Hashirama Senju.
So perhaps his older brother really might have made peace with him.
But.
How could his older brother make peace with them?
Because.
He had been killed by Tobirama Senju!
Could it be that, to Madara, the murder of his younger brother was not an irreconcilable blood feud?
Brother of Hashirama Senju: Tobirama Senju, get out here!
Hashirama Senju's Number: Don't stay silent!
Tobirama Senju: ...
Tobirama Senju: You're really noisy. I didn't want to argue with you in the first place.
After all these years of death, I finally have somewhere lively to be. I don't want to argue with you at all.
Brother of Hashirama Senju: You're talking as though you're the victim. What sophistry.
Brother of Hashirama Senju: If you've got the guts, fight me one-on-one again.
Tobirama Senju: You're such a pain.
Before everyone's eyes, Tobirama and Izuna had already squared off.
This was a wondrous space. It seemed that they could do more than chat; they could even fight.
But.
They seemed to be merely spiritual bodies, without physical forms.
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: Both of you, shut up. It's almost time to observe Kitahara Kaede.
Mei Terumi stepped in to remind them.
Minato Namikaze: Fifth Mizukage, your tone seems different from the past two days.
Minato was a thoughtful person and noticed Mei Terumi's change.
Tobirama Senju: Could it be that when you captured Zabuza, you took the chance to make contact with Kitahara Kaede?
Tobirama Senju: Women, I knew they were all saying one thing and meaning another!
Unmarriageable Older Single Woman: Hehe~
Mei Terumi merely smiled and did not continue answering.
But it seemed that she had tacitly admitted Tobirama's words.
After all, now that she had cooperated with Kitahara Kaede, it was equivalent to holding onto his thigh.
Before you continue
