Chapter 313
Chōjūrō was stunned again.
A moment later, with a creak, the door opened.
A head popped out.
The Mizukage Lord appears to be holding the doorknob.
Judging from the height of his head, it looks like he's bending over?
She maintained a smiling expression, her double eyelids even turning into crescent moons.
"Chōjūrō... I... I need to take a bath... You... should go back now..."
The Mizukage himself appeared.
Chōjūrō was now completely certain that she was safe.
Washing, taking a bath...?!
Then I really should leave as soon as possible.
With his cheeks flushed, Chōjūrō scratched his head, quickly said goodnight, and left.
Mei Terumi stared at his retreating figure, her smile quickly fading.
The next second, Mei Terumi's head snapped back in.
The door was slammed shut.
At night, the rain pattered down on the land of Amegakure.
Soon, the drizzle turned into a torrential downpour.
Several hours later.
Mei Terumi's figure reappeared on the aerial fortress platform, 2 kilometers above the ground.
She gazed at the night view of Amegakure, her smile concealing pain.
Behind her, Akito grabbed her hair, launching a fierce attack while saying, "Remember your place... a marriage alliance? You're nothing but a Dark Weapon!"
Bang! Bang! Bang...
237. Two years later
Several days later...
Mei Terumi's departure was expected by everyone.
It is perfectly reasonable that the marriage proposal did not come to fruition.
Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She went to an office next to the conference room.
This... is a small room reserved for Akito.
Akito faction often appear here to give instructions to the Anbu or other individuals on a private basis.
Ying arrived at the door and saw Guren standing there.
"Where is Master...?" Ying asked.
"The master is inside," Guren whispered.
Ying tiptoed inside.
She discovered that her master was taking a nap.
Was it because of the departure of Mizukage that he felt lonely?
Or... some other reason?
The Land of Rain is a peaceful country, and its people are known as a paradise on earth.
Throughout the entire Land of Rain, everyone knows the name of Amakawa Akito.
To the people, he was a god.
Then, everyone was happy.
But Amakawa Akito was still unhappy.
He has been working tirelessly for the future of humanity, for the future of the ninja world, and for the liberation of the entire planet.
Thinking about these things.
Memories of the past flooded back...
Ying discovered.
It seems like Master has never truly been happy.
That won't do.
Ying secretly vowed to help her master fulfill his dream.
The dream of liberating all of humanity!
He slowly walked up to his master.
He sat in the chair, eyes closed, brows still furrowed.
Perhaps, even in the rest of their sleep, they do not forget their responsibilities.
That handsome face should have been beaming with a smile.
Ying couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
She gazed at that familiar face, her thoughts drifting away.
As if possessed, she tiptoed, craned her neck, and drew closer to that face.
Slowly.
Slowly...
She wanted to get closer to her master, yes... closer... even closer...
Until--
Footsteps approached.
Ying quickly stood up straight and took a few steps back.
Then, a member of the Anbu came in from outside and reported the new mission.
Ying stood there, looking at her master who had been woken up, and couldn't help but clench her fingers.
After the Anbu left, her master looked at her and asked, "Ying, is something the matter?"
"No, no..."
Ying shook her head, keeping her feelings to herself.
Time flies.
Ying continues to cultivate herself and grow.
Their strength is improving by leaps and bounds every Tenten.
Such strict self-discipline and perseverance even moved Pakura.
Nobody knows.
What motivates people to support Ying's hellish training?
Only she herself knew.
Through continuous self-cultivation, Ying grows and contemplates.
What can I do to help my master?
The answer is...
The recent Chunin Ninja Exams.
Mid-game confrontation with the enemy.
In the long term... the liberation of all mankind!
There will definitely be many hardships in this process, but for someone who has already made up their mind, that's nothing.
Seeing other women getting close to their master, especially those displaying ambiguous behavior, was the root of his greater pain.
In addition.
In the future, you will definitely encounter many choices.
What is right?
What is wrong?
What to do and when.
Will the same mistakes be repeated in the past?
Ying was very clear about what she had to face.
She also understood how to resolve the situation.
The answer is...
"My master is justice! His will is my will!!"
The Amegakure was still falling lightly from the sky.
Ying, who had grown much taller, walked across the glass skybridge with light steps.
Her face looked much more serious and resolute.
It has changed the timid feeling that people used to give off.
A year and a half has passed since Mei Terumi's visit.
Everything... is ready.
"Lord Ying."
"Lord Ying..."
Along the way, people kept greeting 12-year-old Ying.
Over the past two years.
Ying earned everyone's recognition through her own hard work and ability.
Because of his unique temperament, or rather, his temperament, which is similar to that of the Akito.
In addition, her appearance has become increasingly beautiful and lovely.
And her figure exudes an invincible youthful and beautiful aura.
She won the admiration of countless people.
Over the past two years, Ying has learned makeup, fashion sense, and improved her aesthetic sense.
She completely molded herself into a role similar to an "idol".
It can be said that... it brought out 200% of its charm.
Like Princess Kazahana Koyuki of the Land of Snow, who became an actress to support her country's finances and starred in the "Princess Gale" film series...
Ying also created her own exclusive performing arts project.
For example... singing the opening and closing theme songs for the movie "Princess Gale".
Release a song album.
Appeared on the cover of a magazine.
She was interviewed by the official television station of the Land of Rain, among other things.
